John W. Forney's brief eulogy of Greeley in
the Philadelphia Press is well worthy of repro,luc-
tiOn. Under the caption of :" A bright star
quenched," Forney says:
'No shock since the death of Charles Dickens
has shaken SO many hearts as the death Of Hor-
nee Greeley. 1t comes like a blow in the dark
Ons If the rarest characters in history il sudden
ly dropped from the ranks of men. A model life,
lived in exemplary honor, stops in an instant,
like piece of mechanism that had worn SO long
that men believed it would flaw. Horace Gree
ley was in a certain sense beyond criticism. His
very errors resulted from his humanity His
own Inconsistencies were explained by his readi-
ness to forgive the Inconsistencies of others.
Even his ambition WAS the offspring of his tolera-
tion. Bcnevolence the inspiration of his
whole being. He conld no more resist an appeal
to 1t by a vanquished section than he could tnrn
the beggar from his door. And so his weakness
became his strength. 1t impressed millions with
belief IN his personal integrity, and converted
foes into friends. Conscious of his unstainef re-
putation, he was brave in doing difficult and un-
popular things. But he had q mighty helper in
the brain that fortified his heart. He had a
double shield in his generosity and genius. How
freeiey he gave To the suffering! how splen,lidly
he wrote for the right! He fought with restless
force against oppression, though utterly unable
TO hight for himself, but very reed in the hands
OF the politicians. The hosts he educated to op-
Poee the rebellion were too strong for him when
he tried To f0rgive the rebellion. And when he
found himself misunderstood aud even maligned
by those who had been trained by his hand and
had willingly follow ed his teachings like the gospel
when the defeat for the Presidency and death
Mt his own +irrside folded closely their black
shadows around him-his honest nature rave
way aud his generous heart broke.

Caldwell Iavessigation.

The Caldwell Investigation WAS resumed on
Tuesday, and after the examination of several
witnesses, Senator Caldwell made statement
bsfore the committee. He denies the statement
of Anthony, Burke, Carney and Clark, IN reia-
tion to his election costing sixty OF seventy
thousand dollars or any other large amount lie
said the statements that bs bad given. or prom
i,esi any consideration for votes were false he
claim. that Carney wanted him to withdraw,
and when he found that hc would not withdraw,
Carney offered to withdraw for SIS 600, and said
he would give twice or three times that amount
if Mr. Caldwell would withdraw.
Senator Caldwell further states that nj SUD-
s-quent meeting, be did pay Carney the amount
asked, but he did not agree to pay the expenses
Of Stevens, Clark or their friends. lie stated III
cpuciusion, upon his homer, "Tiiat he never ex-
pended one dollar for the purpose Ut corrupting
,ny member of the Legislature which elected
Lim"
From the above it would appear that there
are two sides to this question, and that Sidney
Clark and his friends are as deep in the matter as
those they are prosecuting. The result can only
be known after the Committee concludes their
report and the evidence ia given in full. The
people of Kansas will scrutinize the evidence
very closely, yet very many will make up their
opinions from partizan standpoints, and many. of
those who talk the loudest at home are not ex-
actly "lke Cszar's wife," above suspicion. A
few days more will give the result and with that
we are satisfied.

OF each bill $40 copies, for the use of the House

The House and Senate together have had. during
the prr>ent Congrcss, about 900 miscellaneous

Tor the sake Of simplifying the parliamentary

Congress in durable form. Many members in

A man named William u. Brown, Of this city,
Was recently sent by number Of capitalists on
q "trip 10 Arnolds salfed diamond fields IN C"iora-
do. He returned on Sunday night bringing with
him several hundred stones Of different kinds,
but none Of any value, showing that the salt has
been pretty we'll scraprd mp. Among the stones
fouud arc several small India rnbies a lot of gar
meta and a few small diamonds Some Of the
latter Mr.. Brown recognized rs South Africa and
Rio Jaueiro diamonds. He found, after praeti-
cal examination, that the stones correspond with
such gems are sold by the quart in Rio Janeira
and at the Cape Of Good Hope ut from 81 900 to
81 200 quart.
OTHER SALT HUNTERS.
While at Arnolds salt fields, Mr. Brown met q
party of eight men from Colorado, San Francisco,
and the Eastern States, who were on the same
errand as himself. They had picked mp quite a
quantity Of stones, but, like himself, had only
done so after much surface digging and washing.
There is but little salt left in that locality and
persons about to go ON the search would do well
to bear that in mind.
Mr.. Brown made some other interesting dis
coveries, which, in conversation with a reporter
yesterday, he related As follows:
"ln order TO obtain a correct idea of the geo
logical formation of the surrounding country, l
extended my examinations sonth, west and east,
over Q large portion of territory, which found
to be secondary sandstone formation, with very
little volcanic. Ii contains an abundance of coal
and iron, showing strong evidences of once being
the bed of an immense current when involved in
water. The direction of the current was from
north to south, extending eight or nine hundred
miles in breadth came to the conclusion that
this was evidently the cause of depositing the
immense parallel reefs Of sandstone formation
and coal.
PETRIFIED OYSTER BED.
"At the elevation of 5000 feet above the sea
discovered an immense bed of oyster fossil, which
was evidently at some remote period large oys-
ter shoal At . rough guess there must be at
least thousand tons of oyster fossil in that sec
tion Of ten acres. l also found a large quantity
Of petrifed bones-both human and animal
with petriied ancient vegetables, such tur-
nips, water crosses, sagebrnsh, Prickly pears,
t"ad-stools, and large quantity Of various kinds
of shells. From the formation of the country
do not think that any gold silver can exist in
that locality. East Of the sO-called diamound
fields are the great Sierra Madre Mountains,
which abound in slate, granite, quartz, and por-
phyry, carrying gold, silver, and precious stones.

High Life i'm the South.

There has Just come 10 my ears the run0r OF q
case in MurfreesbOrO, this State which has pnt
the entire community thereabouts, in a fever of
excitement. 1t seems the teachings of Mrs.
WOOdhull are not without fruits, even in such
wel-regulated community rs Murfreesboro. A
few years since Mr. John Beasley, son Of Christie
pher Beasley, wealthy and reputable farmer
near MurfreesbOro, was united in marriage to
Miss Job of the same neighbOrhOod, a lady most
respectfully connected. This ceuple lived to-
gether in the utmost harmony; three children
being the fruits Of the marriage, about whom
clustered the most cherished hopes of the fami-
lies Of husband aud wife. They moved in the
highest circles of Middle Tennessee society,
their intelligence, wealth aud family name serv-
ing as a passport everywhere. But into this
Eden Of happiness the serpent entered and those
whose names but yesterday might have stood
against the world are disgraced, broken
hearted and miserable The husband, John Beas-
ley, had first cousin living in the neghborliood,
Thomas Beasley, who was u frequent visitor Mt
the house Of tht former, and in whom the ut
most confidence was reposed by all who knew
him. That any improper liason was going on
between the wife Of John Beasley and her hus-
bands cousin, Tom, no one ever suspected. But
here, as elsewhere, it seems that love rules the
court, the camp, the grove, and, in this instance
very improper and disgusting character of the
article, at that. In an evil hour the wife yield
ed to the enticing words of her unlawful lover and
day before yesterday most distressing dcnonnce-
ment occurred. The intimacy between the pair
had grown to such pitch that Thomas Beusley
became, all at once, bold in his villainy. Yester-
terslay morning, having arranged with Mrs.
Beaslcy previously he rode to the gate of her
husbands residence, and throwing n snail pack
age into the front-yar,i, passed on. The husband
happening to notice this maneuver, awaited fur
ther developments, and saw his wife secure the
bundle and retire with it to her room. In few
minutes he followed and caught her in the act Of
secrefing roll of greenbacks amounting to $500.
