Doth instant, i'm New York, to " unite tue e'e-

coming presidential election, exc'tes some
curiosity. II is supposed by some that the
movement Is hostile to Mr.. GREELEY. we
think not. The gentlemen whose names aI'-

that this conference, called after It j. c''..'

more reasonable to suppose that seeing '"e.'

she field they meet to consider the pest way

,,,.r of ,bc election Of Mr.. GREELEY ana 10
,,n;,. the opposition upon the Cincinnati
,,,tfor,n and ticket. We would rcncct sell
o,,sly upon the disccrnment Of the conicrecs
to suppose anything else.
We NAV suppose without damage TO them
that they desire to signalize their rcconchla-
ton with the ticket as well to smooth their
way of acauicscence as to secure their claim
n q share Of the honors to be dispensed by
tho new Administration. That much sell
complacency is not too much for most men,
and we award it to them as not at all exees-
sive.
On the other hand, there are si'ec'iatoffs
representing the confcrces as hostiie 10 ti'e
Cincinnati ticket, and rs intending 10 MAKE
nm q ticket for Baltimore-ADAHs tor ircsl-
dent and GsoEsBEcK of Ohio for Vice-fresi-
dent We can hardly suppose the coniereeS
ca far dcIudcd. Were they to enter inc toh-
vcnt;on with that ticket ii would be treated
with general contempt, no. on account oi
any want of respect for McssrS. ADAMS anu
CnorsBrcK, but on account oil the tmtihiey
manner in which their names would NC op-
truded upon the attention of the ConVcnuon.
We do not believe i'm this. CARL ScHURz

nominated GREELEY and HRoWS, ana Is III
honor called upon to stand by them. lie
has shown no sign Of determination not 10
do 50, On the contrary, rs late as Saturday
last Senator SEIZURE was in st. LOUIS anu CO.
opcrating with Mr.. BROWN and the Libcfal
Republicans. Messrs. Brown and scHURz
both couuscllcd the Liberal Republicans to
conciIiatory measures with regard to the
Democrats.
p. S.-Aftcr the above was written we
found the following telegram in the New
York Tribune:
CHICAGO, June 1A.-The announcement
from New York that Senator Schurz had
signed the call for Il meeting in sympathy
with the Irlrtv headed by William Cullen
Bryant receives flat contradiction from MIR.
Seizures friends. He was not asked TO Il
conference TO take action against the Clnciii-
natl nominees. The representations made.
to him were that the meeting was to be COM
posed Of those in opposition to the present
Administration, and the question oil the
Cincinnati movement up to this time mas
had no part in the proposed movement, SO
far as it is understood by the friends OF Mr..
Schurz. -,
The st. Louis Republican tomorrow will
contain the following, attcstlEg the correct
ness of the assertions of Mr.. Schurz's friends.
SAYS the Republican, in the exact language
suggested by Mr.. Schurz III reference TO The
proposed New York consultations:
"Thc meeting of gentlemen opposed to the re-
election of Grant. which, according to dispatch
published yesterday. Will he held In New York on
the Goth "f this month is TO be composed OF men
representing all the different shades Of the opposi-
tion, and not, Is has been suggested In some quar-
tiers. Of men iinf"yoralC TO Mr.. Greeley us clndi,
date for the presidency Its puTIHre Is to unlte Gil
the el cnlents of opposition to common action. The
list OF the sgners of the invitation can hardly have
been complete, rs we are informed on trustworthy
authority that the of the of Senator SciulH
was obtained only upon the understanding that tue
invitation should be signed also by some other gen.
tlcmen known 10 be friendly 10 Mr.. Greeley, and dis
tlnctly representing the Cincinnati nominees, aud
should bc addressed to prominent men known to be
of the same way of thinking"
After this we may say "thcre arc no bears
in these woods"
