EDITOR CHRONICLE: Seeing your
request to correspondents to cut their
SAY" short, in fact to itemize it, we
proceed:
| Weather hot. Heavy rains and con-
siderable lightning and thunder. Farm
lerS harvesting between showers; and
grumbling while it showers. Good
prospects for wheat, oats and corn.
Chintz bug and potato "cieaners" play

| Greeley men hopeful, especially
when they have been indulging in the
"Gratz Brown Crabs" or "Jersey light
ming" stomach-ache destroyer. Have
you any Indian Agency seekers in the

the Bellaire glassware; sold by sample.
1t must be music divinely sweet to
Democratic ears to hear the old leaders
of their party who used to ransack their
brains until their head ached to find
words to express their contempt for the
"old reprobate, horse-thief, nigger
lover Horace" l say it must be mu-
Isic sweeter than honey to their ears to
now hear them talk lovingly Of "Hon-
est Old Horace, the gentle farmer ard
wise Philosopher" Amt it a good
deal like taking Castor Oil without
butter-milk. Such a dos. ought to
sicken a turkey-buzzard, but oh, these
Democratic stomachs in these days Of
corruption.
Mr.. ]. w. Swaney, the excelsior sto-
ga cigar man payed us flying visit a

BARNEsyILLE, O., July q, 1872.

IdjMR. EDITeRi:-On Wednesday eve
ming last, in pursuance of an invitation
from. the Greeley Club, our citizens
were entertained with a political speech
from Col. g. l.. Poorman. Whether
the invitation was sought by him, is
not manifest; however, suppose the
Club wished to experiment a little, and
try his bottom, before putting him on
the political race course this Fall. AS
tosthe result some seem to be willing
to risk their stakes on him, especially
as he claims to be assmnch of q; Re-
publican as ever, while others do not
at all like his pedigree, and have such a
strong prejudice to the stock, that they
can hardly be induced to invest in the
risk. Your correspondent had not an
opportunity of hearing his speech, and
can only communicate what ..he has
been able to gather from others whom
he believes tOi,be reliable. He had a
fair audience enumbering about $50, en-
bracing quite number of Republicans
drawn there through motives of curiOs-
curiosity gratified losing their interest
or through some other motive left be-
fore the close.

first apologizing to his audience for not
being better prepared as he was not SO
conversant and well Informed ON the
Subject about which he was to speak
as he desired, and then proceeded to
read from a prepared manuscript most
of what he had to say. He then en-
deayored to show that all political ami
mostly and strife should be laid as de;
that all should endeavor to heal the
divisions made by the war; that in vio-
fence to his own personal feelings and
convictions he had for the past six or
seven years, in obedience to the be-
hests of partyism aided every succeed
ing Fall, in laying open these gaping
wounds and causing them to bleed
afresh. But now he was determined
! to pursue a difficult and more
liberal cause, and give the right
hand of fellowship to his former
adyersaries, and with them for
ever bury the hatchet. Which inter-
pret simply means will be good fel-
low, well met, with all who may favor
me with their votes for Congress. ios7

NIAGARA FALLS CORRES-
ENCE-

The n. Y. Independent of last week
contains an article with the above head
ing showing the position into which
H. G. managed to place himself while
comforting with the rebel peace COM
missioners at Niagara, in July, 1864.
BY private correspondence with a
rebel named Jewett he secured from a
company of rebel sympathizers in Can
ada an unofficial offer to conference
with the United States upon the subject
of peace. Greeley wrote to Lincoln
stating that commissioners We're then
waiting near Niagara Falls armed with
full authority to treat for peace with
our government and that one of the
conditions claimed would be the pay
ment of $400, 600, ,000 for the slaves then
set free. Greeley then advocated the
acceptance of the proposition. Lincoln
wrote to Greeley to inform said peace
that If they had any
proposition in writing from Davis & Co.,
he would receive them and grant them
"a safe passage to and FROM the Capital.
Greeley as he has been Justly called an
sold slomick," did not obey Lincoln,
but went to Niagara and carried on a
orrespondencewith said commissioners
upon his own hook misrepresenting the
President. The result was when Lin
coins true instructions come to the ears
of the commissioners they fiared up
and published letter denouncing him
for changing his views and acting dis
honestly. The Democratic party and
press took it up and Lincoln was CEN
sured for carrying on the war and being
unwilling to make peace. He wished
to vindicate himself by publishing his
correspondence with Greeley, omitting
from Greeley's part of it such remarks
as would injure our cause. To this
Greeley would not assent, using that as
a check upon Lincoln's means of de-
Tending himself in order to save his own
exposure.

tilDughl there muStbe IN sincerity, either
~ ms former position or in his present
Ideciarations and that they are irrecon.
ellable IN any view and that he wants
to go to Congress.
On the subject of the National Debt,
he endeavored to show that with ali
the giorying of friends. the present
failed in the reduction q,
thePublic Debt. That it was not reduced
any more rapidly if as much so under
the administration of President Grant
as under that of johnson. This
may be so; but under an economical
admin istFation ought not the reduc-
tions under johnson to have been
largely in excess of Grants, con-
Sidering the great abatement in inter-
Qal revenue assessments under the lat
ter. am afraid his conscience would
not let him show that part up very
clearly. However, he made a very
slight ripple on the placid stream which
soon faded away.
i 1 see that correspondent of the
Gazette of last week, undertakes to
show that l made great misrepresenta-
tions in my last, in reference to the
Greeley Club of this place. L will
simply state that l do not willingly
deal in Misrepresentation 1 said "at
which time" that is at the time of the
meeting, thirty-three gave in their
adhesion; this fact gathered from the
Secretary of the meeting and that six of
them were Republicans, which was
about 2 per cent. of the whole number.
My ears could not have deceived me in
this. 1t looks little more like mis-
when it is stated in their
published proceedings that eis shty-sey-
en- promptly responded when their
were called. Now suppose
that on the 10Th when the article was
written, three days after the meet
ing, they had then succeeded in getting
names after all their
In the meantime am not
aware that the "RufaI Districts" are
yet heard from, and will not be unless
a fair proportion of the 81 are from
Rural Districts.
