HORACE GREELEY's GAM

The Cincinnati Gazette, in COM
menting on the New York custom
house business, and kindred topics,
says:
'They, the factions in New York hate
each other, and their antagonisms ii
greater than the contests between Re
publicans and Democrats exhibit. Mr..
Greeley, who is leader of what is call
ed the Fenton faction, also been goad-
ed to madness by that custom-house bus
iness. When the Fenton faction con-
trolled the custom-house Mr.. Greeley
was so well satisfied with Grant that he
virtually pronounced in favor of his re-
nomination. He went so far as to say
that nobody had been mentioned in
connection with the Presidency in 1871
and probably would not be, except
Grant, and that Grant would be better
fitted to fill the office in 1872 than he
was in 1868. The one-term principle
was not serious obstacle, in Mr.. Gree
ley's estimation, at that time"
The Gazette seems to have good ap-
probation of the motives that influence
Mr.. Greeley in his advocacy of the one
term principle. 1t is the arrow of the
quiver which he holds in reserve for
every popular President who seeks a re-
nomination, or whom the people desire
to renOminate. He drew it against
Abraham Lincoln when Lincoln refus-
ed to be guided by his crazy and almost
unpatriotic and cowardly counsels in
the conduct of the war, and now he
has drawn it against President Grant
when the members of his faction are
not allowed to feed at the public crib in
New York. So long as the Fenton men
were in power Mr.. Greeley and the
Tribune had no word to say about see
ond terms; but the moment they were
driven away, because they were cor
rupt, dishonest or inefficient, Mr.. Gree
ley suddenly discovers that the country
is in grave peril, and that Henry Clay,
who was three times beaten for the
Presidency, would have ben satisfied
with one term if his COUNT men would
only give it to him. 1t is range that
Mr.. Greeley would allow mself to be
influenced by such motive. - Washing
ton Chronicle.

HOW ALEXIS KILLED THE BUFFALO.

The Omaha Tribune and RepuJ-
hcan says the following is vouched
for by the regular army soldier who
was detailed to act as the Grand
Duke Alexis's orderly during the
grand buffalo hunt at Red Willow
Creek:
The first buffalo met by the party
was an aged veteran, and by unanimous
consent, the struggle with the old fel-
low was given to the Duke. He rode
confidently forward, and discharged a
few shots at the old bull. without fatal
effect, whereupon the animal turned
and made fight. Alexis threw away
his gun and jumped from his horse.
As the buffalo approached him, he drew
his short sword and plunged it into the
animals side, killing him instantly.
Just before he made the fatal stroke he
exclaimed, ''How dare you attack a
Russian Prince -

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
On Tuesday of last week, 4 young lady,
and a very estimable one indeed, mar
rowly escaped drowning in the Canal
at Trenton, this county. Amelia Laun-
roth, living at DR.. A. p. Churchman'S,
while dipping water from place in the
middle of the Canal which had been
opened by cutting out ice for an ice
house accidentally slipped in, and
the assistance of DIR. H. Eckman and
wife, who fortunately saw her fall in,
and one or two others, who ran to the
place and by their efforts succeeded in
extricating her before she sank beneath
the cold ice to rise no more. "Milly"
thus escaped an untimely death, and
can realize, as no one can who has not
been thus similarly situated, what it is
to be face to face with death, and know
as most all are brought to know at
some time and in some way during their
lives, that we are not dependent entire
ly upon self for life, health, strength,
or prosperity.-Tus. Chronicle.

TO THE PATRONS OF THE RE
Publ ICAN"

With this issue, my interest as
--one of the editors and proprietors
of the REPUBLICAN ceases. In tax
ing leave of the many kind friends
Of this paper, | do so with consid-
erable reluctance, from the fact that
my association with the paper and
you, as well as Messrs. White 4
Cunningham, have been of such a
nature as shall always bring to mem
DRY many pleasant thoughts. Cir
cuInstances over which / have no
control make this change necessary.
1t may be well to state, however,
right here, that the business is not
sufficient to warrant three partners
with a view of making much money,
which is in part one of the reasons
of withdrawal. If, however, the
friends will stand by the new firm
as they have stood by us thus far,
the future of the REPUBLICAN and
its present proprietors will be
bright.
As Messrs. White d Cunningham
have assumed additional debts in
the purchasing of my interest, it is
10 be hoped that every subscriber
who has not paid his subscription,
and every other person who is in
debted to the firm, will come up
promptly and pay, in order that
these gentlemen may be able to meet
their payments. The only way to
make county paper a success, is
for its subscribers to pay promptly
in advance. 1t is only a matter OF
two dollars to each one, but these
two dollars scattered around soon
run into hundreds with publishers.
urge then that you will not only
pay promptly, but that you will lend
Il helping hand, whenever an oppor-
tunity offers, to add to the revenues
of the paper and Office
THE POST OFFICE.
Concerning this have but little
to say. The proceeds accruing
therefrom, it is well known, are ap-
piled toward sustaining the REPUB-
LIcAN, and will continue to be so ap-
piled as long rs the Office is held by
one of the proprietors of the paper.
Mr.. Cunningham, who has been
deputy under me, in whose favor
resigned. and who also has been ap
pointed as my successor, is well
known to most of you, has been an
excellent assistant and will make an
able and efficient postmaster. Dur
ing my time i have endeavored to
please the public, and shall leave
the public to say if havs succeed
ed. Mr.. White, who is also equally
worthy of similar mention, has been
appointed assistant postmaster, and
will no doubt ably fill his place.
With this explanation, and again
urging you to stand up and help
sustain your paper, take leave OF
you, wishing you all long, pros
porous and happy future.
