eREELY 10 LINCOLN.

An Extraordinary Letter to President Lin
coin BY the old Tribune Editer.
The following letter was written to Mr..
Lincoln just after the federal defeat at
Bull-Run, by Horace Greeley, and is
printed for the first time in the June Cen
tuyy:
NEW YORK, MONDAY, July %, 1861.
Midnight.
DEAR SIR: This is my seventh sleepless
night-yOurs, too, doubtless-yet l think /
shall not die, because have no right to die. l
must Struggle to live, however bitterly. But to
business. You are not considered great man,
and l am a hOpelessly broken one. You
are now undergoing a terrible ordeal, and
God has thrown the gravest responsibilities
upon you. Do not fear to meet them.
Can the rebels be beaten after all that
has occurred, and in view of the actual state of
feeling caused by our late awful disaster? Ii
they can-and il is your business TO ascertain
and decide-write me that is your judgment, so
that | may know and do my duty. And if they
cannot be beaten-if our recent disaster is
fatai-do not fear to sacrifice yourself to your
country. If the rebels are not to be beaten-if
that is your judgment in view of all the light
you can get-then every drop of blood hence
forth shed in this quarrel will be wantonly,
wlckedly shed, and the guilt will rest heavily
on the soul of every promoter of the crime |
my duty.
eff the Union is irrevocably gone, an armis-
tic for thirty, sixty, ninety, 40 days-better
still for year-Ought at once to be proposed,
with view to a peaceful adjustment The
congress should call national convention, to
meet at the earliest possible day. And there
should be an immediate and mutual exchange
or release of prisoners and disbandment of
forces. do not consider myself az present
judge Of anything but the public sentiment.
That seems to me everywhere gathering and
deepening against a prosecution of the war.
The gloom in this city is funereal-for our
dead at Bull Run were many, and they lie I'M
buried yet. On every brow sits sullen, scorch-
ing, black dispair. 1t would be easy to have
Mr.. Crittenden move any proposition that
ought to be adopted, or to have it come from
any proper quarter. The first point is to ascer-
tain what is best that can be dOne-which is the
measure of our duty, and do that very thing at
the earliest moment.
''This letter is written in the strictest con-
fdence and is for your eye alone. But you
are at liberty to say to members of your cabinet
that you know | will second any move you may
see fit to make. But do nothing timidly nor
by halves Send me word what to do. | will
live till can hear it at all events. III it is best
for the country and for mankind that we make
peace with the rebels at once and on their own
terms, do not shirk even from that. But bear
in mind the greatest truth: Whose would lose
his life for my sake shall save it, Do the thing
that is the highest right, and tell me how L am
to second you.
Yours, in the depths of bitterness,

A Mysterious Denth.

BANGOR, Me-, June 10.-Iast night, just as
the train was starting on the Bangor & Boston
road the engineer was signalled to stop, as
jeremiah G. Sinclair, the postal clerk, was taken
with a severe hemorrhage. Sinclair was taken
TO hotel in an omnibus but died on the
way. 1t was then ascertained that death had
resulted from a wound in the breast A large
artery was severed and death must have been
almost instantaneous. The only persons shown
to have been with Siucair in the
car are Postal Clerks 0. G. Sellen, of
Massachusetts, and S. Lyman Hayes,
OF New Hampshire, who had run for years
with Sinclair the latter having been on the
road fourteen years. From the appearance of
the wound it would seem that it might have
been inflicted either by blow in front or be-
hind, or might have been self-inficted. Sellen
and Hayes were subsequently arrested
and confined in separate apartments
1t is rumored that Hayes has made
statements duplicating Sellen as the one per-
petrating the deed The officers neither affirm
nor deny the truth of the rumor. The parties
are well known here and highly esteemed by
their associates. This is the most shocking and
mysterious affair that has ever taken place
here and the community is in a high state of
excitement

Today were 295, 42O shares. The bearish feel
ing so prominent on Saturday became more
pronounced this morning and London came in
ss a seller, which added TO prevailing dissatis-
faction with the situation, the result OF the
DAYS operations being n material decline
nhroughout the entire list, with specially heavy
losses in the Changers and Gould stocks. The
principal local cause of the disturbance was
the recent action of the Iowa legislature,
which seems to meet with less and less favor as
# becomes better understood. London sold
St. Paul, Louisville & Nashville, Erie and Read
ing, its sales Of the latter being specially
heavy while the traders and bears jumped

stock were put out, bringing with them heavy
sales Of long stock also. The pressure was
specially severe against the Changers and St.
Paul in particular, the unexplained weakness

that the reported new issue of securities is to

the market became more quiet, the business

hour when the weakness in a few stocks again
started the selling and further losses were sus-
tanned over the entire list. The market closed
fairly active and weak at the lowest prices of
the day. Sterling exchange showed weaken
ing tendency, but 1t Is stated that the reason
that the heavy sales of bonds have not de-
pressed the exchange market more is that

On Her Dignity.
IRnsfnn Glnhn

A little friend of mine, aged five and
one-half, or as she would tell you, "half-
past five" was in the habit of calling at
any and all times and bringing her play
things with her One day she called
as usual and it being Saturday it
was quite busy day with me. After she
had remained some time and / had an
swered innumerable questions-why l did
this, and why didn't do that that wasn't
the way her mamma did it; her mamma
did it this way-I said: ''Now, Nettie,
like good little girl, take your playthings
and run home. l am very busy to-day. l
haven't time to talk to-day"
Without a word, but in silent contempt,
she placed her little shawl about her
shoulders and, gathering up her play
things, put them in her tier. Then, hold
ing the shawl together with one hand and
the tier with the other, she turned and
faced the enemy:
you'll 'stuse me, Mrs. Granger; know
my place. didn't tum to fight or trorrel
vii you. l only tum to stay a little while,
and dess I'll do now"
And with head thrown back and the air
of an injured queen, she LETT the house.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE unusual action of
the markets for cereals on Saturday caused
some nervousness and activity in the pits this
morning. The opening prices were lower all
around than the closing sales of last week.
Wheat started &c under at S55sc for July, and
after little show. of strength touched $3.50
o6Ic. This was followed by extreme weakness
at once on the belief that the decrease in the
visible supply would be small, and July went
down to S5c before noon. Then the visible
supply hgures showed decrease Of $4,000 bu.,
not so bad as expected an hour before, and
prices rallied just a little. July returned to
S5A@S51sc. The trading for the first hour was
nervous and fair In volume, but after IL o'clock
the pit was dull July closed at sac. Corn
was subjected to some very depressing influ-
ences. There was an increase in local
stocks for the week Of 1885 bu., and
at Buffalo of $4,000 bu., while the total
visible supply increased l 1854 In addition
there were estimates for tomorrow of $50 cars.
The latter the weakest future of all. July
started sc lower at SIC and after a rally to
52%c broke to 5l1zc, but there seemed TO be
fair demand for the property at this figure.
The closing figure was 515Sc. Oats ruled quiet
and dull. July sold at 3213G32Isc and closed
at 32(G32Se. Provisions, owing to the receipt
of $4,000 hogs at the yards, were somewhat
unsettled and prices fuctuated considerably
within narrow range. Offerings were firm,
but the demand was only moderate and the
market closed rather quiet at a medium figure.
July pork opened at Sl3.971k, sold at $l39O@
1910 and closed at 1880. July lard ranged at
$S.571zCgS62I and closed at SS571l. July
short ribs at S7.571z(d7621z and closed at 500.

JEALOUSY is not distinctvely hui

general. A parrot will often mani

and even work itself into a downright
passion, at seeing its mistress playing with
a canary, while the sensitiveness of dogs
upon this point is proverbial. A lady
travelling in Siberia relates ludicrous in
stance:
We had five dogs. Nine. Jatier was the
favorite, and was allowed to sleep in a corner

First, l called Jatier, according to custom,
but as she did not answer the call, gave
portion to Appoleck. Before he had finished,
Nine. Jatier appeared, and started to drive him
away. This would not permit, and we had
grand scuffie. When Appoleck had dined he
walked away in an orderly manner, and filled
the dish for Jatier; but she was sulky and

A Menace That Must BE Removed.
New York Herald.1

We are satisfied to surrender to "our friends
the enemy" the monopoly of that theory of
protection which has already resulted in one
of the most serious dangers that threaten the
epublic-namely, the whole brood of trusts
and combines that further enrich the rich and
drive the wage-earner into strike for his rights
You are confronted by that menace, and you
will find it necessary to resort to drastic meas
ures IN order to get rid of it. But you can see
with half an eye that it must be got rid of at
whatever cost or the labor problem will be
solved by reducing the labOrer to helpless
servitude and giving the monopolist the entire
profits of his toll.
But that kind of protection is undemocratic
and un-Amercan. 1t throttles the spirit of
our institutions, rObbing the many of their
chances and giving them to the few. If this
government does not mean fair play for all it
has no special significance whatever, and is
little better than the monarchies OF Europe.

Let's Have N Decent Campaign.
New York Herald

The coming campaign promises to be reason
ably clean-a campaign of ideas and living is
sues. The injection into it of so brazen and
palpable falsehood as this is not to the taste
of the people at large, and the president is
quite right in declaring that it is 'too absurdly
false for notice." When he adds: ~ do hate
to have my wife's name brought into any dis
CUSTOM" he appeals to the popular love of fair
play in way that shonld doom the miscreants
to the purgatory of everlasting disgrace.

Two Sides to the Question.
FTrov Times I

A few days since two little fair-haired
girls We're presented each with an exceed
ingly young kitten. When being asked to
return the little animals to the mother,
the younger girl, with look OF tenderness
in her great violet eyes, said: ''Oh, yes,
I'll give mine back; think how you'd feel
if you were a baby and big giant came
and took you from mamma" The elder
sister answered, tossing her head: "I'd a
great deal rather they'd take me while [
was very young; I'd feel it less"
