WHAT IS THEIR MOTIVE !

Men never do anything without a mo-
tive, Parties are composed of individuals,
and the motives of the individuals give
shape to the policy of the party. What
are the motives of the Southern Demo-
Gratis which impel them to throw up
their hats and eXclaim, "hurrah for Gree
ley!n Is it because they admire the
Wanted honesty of the Cincinnati nomi-
nee? Is it because they approve of his
principles as they appear in a long public
record? Is it because Of his lifelong OPP
position to Democracy and its kindred
evils, such as slavery, official corruption,
petty tyranny, partizan oppression, ETC.?
Or, is it because they believe him to be in
his dotage, or because they they think he
is composed of stuff that will make him
as "potter's cIay'' in the hands of their
ambitious leaders, and that q set of circum-
stances may be brought about that will
place the longed-fOr offices in their
hands? We have no doubt of this
last being their true motive. If they
thought that Horace Greeley would not fill
the Federal offices i'll the South with eX
rebels. and Democrats, they would drop him
instantly, and his name would not again be
heard during the canvass. Whatever else
may be urged by them as a reason why
Grant should be beaten and Greeley elect
ed, this one lies at the bottom In their
professions in favor of civil service reform,
they are insincere and hypocritical They
mean nothing of the kind. They know
that Grant has a will of his own, and that
his purposes are not changed when once
convinced that he is right. They hope
to take advantage of the idiosyncrasies pc
culiar to Mr.. Greeley, and thereby reach
the desired effect. Office they must have
Without it life is "a waste bowling will
derness." They can't get it from Grant.
Greeley can't be worse. He may prove
better for them. He "can't be worse" as
we have heard an ardent Greeley man put
it.

THE METHODIST BISHOPS.

Yesterday morning we briefly noticed
the five gentlemen who had been elected
Bishops by the Methodist General Con-
ference at Brooklyn. on Tuesday. On
Wednesday the three remaining Bishops
provided for were elected. the choice of the
Conference being DR.. Jesse T. Peck of New
York DR.. Gilbert Haven, of Massachu-
sets, and DR.. E. G. Edwards, of New
York.
DR.. Peck is one of family which has
been prolific of minister. His parents
were the parents of fourteen Methodist and
one Baptist Minister. He is President of
the Syracuse University, and is a man of
great ability. He is siXty-one years
old.
DR.. Haven is editor of lions Herald and
is noted for his plainness of speech Oh all
the vital questions Of the day. He is a
very striking representative of progressive
New England ideas.
DR.. Andrews is leading minister in
the Empire State, and is noted for his
preaching qualities and his general ability.
He is so universally known as the other
Bishops elect, but will make his mark in
his new and responsible position.

GREELEY's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

Horace Greeley's letter of acceptance is
given to the public at last He says he
has waited thus long before accepting the
nomination to see how it is received by
the country at large. Finding from his
congratulatory dispatches, and the COM
ments of newspapers, independent of,offi-
cial patronage and Indifferent to the
smiles or frowns of power" that his NOM
ination has received the stamp of public
approval, he accepts the honor. In 9th
er words, Horace has been anxiously wait
ing to see if he could be elected before ac-
cepting the race. No one will blame him
for this. He ought not to ruin his "TI'Om-
bone" and forever injure himself by run
ming for President in hopeless race.
But, then, it would have been more manly
if he had openly said so.
The misfortune i'll this letter of accept
ance is, that it reads like first class puff
of Horace Greeley and the Cincinnati
movement. The people pretty generally
understand that movement now and they
do not agree with him very well as to his
judgment of it. If he had carefully ask
ed himself how many Republicans were
in his favor, or what chances there were
for his doing good for the great principles
he has advocated for lifetime, he would
have found that he could not do it by an
alliance with his enemies, who combine
forces with him not because they admire
him or surrender their convictions but be-
cause they hate Grant. If he had honestly
searched for public opinion on this point
and in his inquiries had looked to those tUhO
hare been his friends. for rtyye0rSinstead
of to his enemies, he certainly would have
learned that his present position is
not one his sincere friends wish him
to occupy. His letter is Greeley-ish
and betrays that want of judgment and
knowledge of men that make him an I'M
safe man to rule a people. He brands at
one stroke of the pen ninety-nine-hun-
dredths of the Republican press of the
United States as journals not ''independ-
ent of official patronage" He can coun
on the,fingers of his hands the Republican
III Vic vi ClttItS JlldO SuppOIU
his candidacy. These few he terms indie
pendent, but all the rest-papers that
have fought for years with his Tribune the
battles of freedom-he accuses of being
bought up by the ''smiles of power"
With such cOnceit and utterances, this vain
old man consents to allow his name to be
used by his lifelong enemies, to batter
down, if possible, a political organization
be has helped to build and maintain. He
will find out before many months, that the
men who now tickle his vanity and i'm
pose upon his credulity, by encouraging
him to embark in this hopeless struggle,
are the men who want office and whose
advice is interested and unlike the Beech
ers, Bellows, Bowens, Forneys and scores
of others who have been his associates and
friends.

Fraudulent Misrepresenta.
lions.

Among the perniciOus frauds Of the pc
Rod, there is one which especially deserves
the apprehension OF all who place a proper
value on heal and life. The swindle re-
ferred TO consists in the attempts of ire
sponsible parties, in different sections of the
United States, to force upon the market
vile astringent compounds manufactured
out of damaged or worthless drugs and
refuse liquor, as preparations possessing
the rare and medicinal virtues OF the most
popular and etlicacous OF all vegetable
tonics and alteratiyes-H ostetter's Stomach
BitterS.
The c7ncocters OF these "local bltters" are,
in the tTuest sense OF the phrase, public
enemies. Their fiery potions inflame the
StOmachs, Stupeiy the brains, and Shatter
the nerves of those who are unwise enough
to accept them as substitutes Tor the famous
Vegetable lnvigorant. that tor twenty years
has been known throughout the Western
Hemisphere as standard article.
The fame of HosteIter's Btters as n
health-preservng, vitalizing medicine, is
as wide as the world, and the miserable
attempts of needy nostrum -mougers TO
suppIant it would be treated with silent
contempt, were II not that serious cOnse-
uusnccs sometimes follow the use OF the
nefarious compounds in question. Who
ever recommends any of them as remedies
for Dyspepsia. BiliousneSs, Constipation,
Intermittent Fever, Rheumatism, or any
other complaint for which Hostetter's
stomach Bitters is a known specific, is
guilty OF moral, II not a legal misiemsan.

ing from the earth, in the form or unwhole-

stituiiOlS.

We have this morning batch OF
Charleston news down to and including
the oath inst. The letter and proceed
ings OF the Convention and Legislature
were Just a week old when received.
Iii, OF course annoying and notifying
to the publisher Of daily newspaper to
be compelled to wait whole week for
intelligence from the seat Of the State
government, where 30 many matters OF
interest are Transporting, and it Is but
natural to condemn the policy that has
located the capital in so remote place
as Charleston. 1t is but just, however,
to remind our readers that the people Of
Charleston are in no way responsible
for the unusual cold weather that has
cut them off from communication
with the greater portion OF the
State, and that in ordinary times
not more than one-third Of the time
now necessary would enable us to know
the progress Of events at the "perma-
nent seat" During more than forty
wears past the Kanawha river has not
been so frequently obstructed by ice as
it has been this winter and the discom-
forts Of the present season should not be
taken as a sample Of the future, Before
many years pass Charleston will be
accessible by railroads from all quarters
Of the State, and it is not too much to
EXPECT that within the next five years
the Journey from Wheeling to the Cap
i,al will not consume more than twelve
hours. tits no more than just to the
people Of Charleston that we remember
these things and so refrain from attr'bu-
ting to the location Of the Capital the
full measure of the disadvantages and
disappointmeuts Of the present unusual
ly severe winter.

WAKING UP.

We are glad to note the many ind'ca-
tons that have recently been afforded
that the people of Wheeling are waking
up to some realization Of the fact that
the world is moving and that Wheeling
must either get into the current or be
hopelessly stranded. Discouraged bya
few unfortunate ventures several years
ago. our people have been holding
aloof from enterprises that promised
large benefits to the place, and have
made during the past twenty years only
such progress as they were compelled
to make in spite Of themselves. Instead
of pushing our trade and making the
most OF our local advantages and en-
bracing every opportunity for CONNER
cisl importance. we have permitted the
outside world to push us, and have only
made such progress as was forced upon
US by extraneous demand.
But the indications are that Wheel
is about to take a new departure. -
Schemes for public Improvement are
everywhere rife, and activity is bursting
forth in all directions. There is scarcely
anything we cannot do, if we determine
it shall be done. We ought to double
our population in the next ten years;
and it will be so if the present spirit OF
enterprise aud activity is maintained
and brings forth its appropriate fruit
The citizens of Wheeling are today
less taxed than those Of almost any
other community of equal size on the
continent; certainly less than any OF
our immediate neighbors or business
competitors. The local advantages OF
the place and the skill of its workmen
and the we'll earned reputation OF its
wares, enable it to defy competition as
manufacturing city in those articles
which are the staple OF our trade, and
there is no good reason why our manu-.
features should not be more than
doubled in quantity. Rest assured that
the demand will keep pace with the
supply.
There is now disposition among our
citizens to give generous and liberal
support to all laudable or reasonable
schemes OF public improvement. We
sincerely trust thatit may not prove to
Se merely spssmodic, but that it will
continue until the various projects now
ia contemplation become realities and
add their influence in swelling the pros
psrity that will achieve new triumph'
and produce still more important re-
suits.
