This handsome book Is dedicated BY the author
to his "fellow-printcrs," and we venture 20 SAY
that there Ia not one of the .craftr but will read
II with pride as well As pleasure and pront. We
were asked to review this book. We shall not
attempt to do so. There Is not an uninteresting
or uninstructive chapter In 1t. Generally speak
ing, II Is written In an impartial spirit. There
are some things In It stated differently from
what we should have dictated from our stand.
point, but they are cbieny matters OF political
history, and arc no doubt announced as honestly
Is possible. As rule, carefully abstaining from
eulogy, the author shields his subject from the
shafts OF ridicule with the tenderest devotion.
and defends him quite successfully against the
charges Of egotlsm and affcctation. The book IL
earnestly and gracefully written, and Is per.
vaded by romantic interest from the humble
birth Of scotch.Irish parentagc OF the New Eng

Try, constant study, and intense thou ghtful ap-

The work Is valuable political epltome OF the
last forty years-the most eventual period Of the
age; Of any age. What tones has Mr.. Greeley
written favoring railways, ocean steamers, tele-

tending to progress or reform received his coun.

poverty never passed him without sympathy,
| rarely without assistance In his later years.
After his fortune was assured, he gave literally

from his brain, but from his purse.

The London newspapers print tho follow
ing as an extract from a private letter from
Teheran, dated May IL, 1873: ION Wednes-
day evening great Tempest passed over To-
heran. The railway engineers who had that
day gone into camp had their tents blown
from over their heads. The Shah who was
then yoyaging up the Caspian Sea must un.
doubtly have ex 5erienced this storm. The
present Governors of Teheran and the Gov
ernor OF Shlraz sent kilograms TO Astracan,
addressed 10 the Grand vizier, for the Shah :
edihcation upon his arrival at that place.
The Teheran telegram ran something like
TINS; =, Last evening great tempest passed

cerned for his own safety. Then all the peo-

VINO, without doubt, are the greatest liars
upon the face Of the earth. This Is the truth
OF the matter. For 400 miles of country, be-
t"ovn ohiraL anu lspahan, the tribe OF ELAN
ices have taken full possession; they are
levying blacknail upon all travellers, and,
what Is still worse, they go so far as to MUIR
der. The Governor Of Shiraz, who, TO use
his own words, is 'laboring night aud day to
carry out his Majesty's ORDERS has himself
rebelled, by refusing to take orders from the
shahs uncle at Teheran, and to provide
guards for some English travellers who are
now detained ut ShiraZ, and who wish TO
come on to Teheran. In the province OF
Slcstan the Turcomans are In rebellion. 4
small army from Teheran Is there making
targets of all the Turcomans they can catch.
They have already shot seventy-two, and
have taken one hundred camels. | am

Tue Richmond Conservative organs arc
evidently becoming alarmed. For weeks and
weeks they have been endeavoring to impress,
upon their readers that the great question Ia
the coming campaign is that Of race, Of the
white man against the black man. To on,
mind the great question Is, which party shall
do the most, Is likely to do the most for tn,
industrial development Of the State, and tn,
opening up of great internal improvements

ELEvEN HUNDRED COPIES of the REPuB-
LIcAN were printed on Thursday morning. in
addition to our usual edition. This Is the
kind Of "blundering" referred to by our
morning contemporary. The issue referred to
contained Colonel Hughes able and eloquent
speech, accepting the Republican nomination
for Governor, In full. The result of our en-
terprise was that the speech reached vir-
ginia, through our columns, as soon Us 1t was
delivered, and forestallcd the pernicious re-
suits which would have followed II we had
anticipated the garbled synopsis printed by
our stupid morning neighbor. We were, Of
course, In duty bound to do all this, because
we were recognized by the convention US a
live Republican paper.

The rouSo NES specially trained by Mr..
Greeley wheel into line with the Conscrva.
tlyes of Virginia, who insist that the only
question In tho campaign in that State IL a
question Of race. The blacks arc abused and
patronizcd In turn by the young men, and
grim attempt at humor Is made over the
nomination OF Col. Hughes. The principal
young man, who was paid out Of the Chase
fund to libel Mr.. Lincoln In 1864, and who
halls from Xenia, Ohio, Is exceedingly severe
upon carpet-bagger, forgetting that he was
the first carpct-baggei who squatted down
in Mississippi after the war, aad left 1t only
when the blacks failed to send him to Con.

The Gordon Murder Trial.
FIFTH DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

BELFAST. Me-, Nov. IA.
The fifth day in the Thorndike murder
case was devoid of interest. Sheriff, Norton
testified to finding letter in the Jail office
addressed to the prisoner, purporting to have
been written by man who confesses to the
murder of the Gordon family. The theory
of the government is that the prisoner was
the author, and the remainder of the fore
noon was occupied by the testimony OF ex-
perts as to this hand writing.
AFTERNOON.
This afternoon the testimony was princi-
pally confined to the appearance of blood on
the prisoners clothing after his arrest. His
shirt and vest were exhibited to the jury. The
anony nous letters offered yesterday were
finally excluded, but that found in the Jail
was admitted as evidence and read. state
ment made and signed by the accused at the
coroner's inquest, was also put into the case.
1t is rambling and contradictory, and fails to
account for his conduct at the time of the
tragedy, in not attempting to rescue the fam
lily, nor inquiring for their safety.
At four o'clock the Attorney General an
nounced that the testimony for the State was
completed, and the court adjourned uutil
Saturday morning, when Mr.. Wallace Will
open in defence.

INDIAN MATTERS.

Washington, IA. The northern Cheyennes
and Arrapahoes had talk with the President
this morning protesting against the decision
of the Commissioners of Indian Affairs that
they must go upon their reservation in Indian
territory with their southern brethren, in ac-
cordance with the treaty made with Gen Sher-
idan in 1868. The President received the
Indians friendly, and endeavored to empress
them with the belief that it would be for their
interest to remove, as the whites were even
now crowding them out; but he told them
firmly that the position of Commissioner
Smith, as made known to them yesterday,
must be sustained. AT the conclusion of the
conference the President gave the Indian
woman in the party large and heavy bright
coored shawl, which she and the chiefs ap.
peared to regard as high compliment.
