Etorace Greely and them One Thousand
Dollars
The New York Tribune thus explains the
charge made against Philosopher Greeley of
having accepted a bribe of $lOOO for services
rendered in Congress to the Des .Moines Riv
er ImproVement
, Mr. Greeley, was at Washington, when
some of the Company were looking after
their interests before Congress. Just as he
was leaving one of them handed Mr. Greeley
a draft for $lOOO, asking him if he would
take it and honor their draft at New York
for that amount. Mr. Greeley, supposing it
a financial accommodation, said he would.
But subsequently concluding that it was in
tended as a compensation for services which
they might ask, intimated to them that they
could get their money when they wanted it,
and it was drawn out of his hands.
- Oh ) ho It is there you are; old Truepen
-ny ? Buying lobby influbnee has to- be done
very slyly in Washington, we should judge
from the round-about way this Des Moines
man went about it. But Mr. Greeley's ex
planation will of course satisfy his friends.—
He only took "them one thousand" suppos
ing it to be "a, financial accommodation."-
-Nevertheless, for the benefit of those who
think Horace more of a sinner than a saint,
We give the following extract from the Re
port, of the Corruption Investigation Com
mittee, read in the House of Representatives
on Thursday last :
John Stryker, of Rome, N..J., a director
and member of the executive committee of
the company, (the Des Moines Improvement,)
testified that he made a. draft in. favor of Ho
race (freely for $lOOO ; it was a. retainer for
. counsel and advice in aid of procuring the
passage of the bill for the benefit of the com
pany. It was to be used entirely at his dis
cretion. The witness • three weeks ago, met
Mr. Greeley in New York, and he told "him
that he had received the money, but that he
had no personal interest in it. The witness
Underwent a long examination, saying, in
reply to a. question by Mr. Davis, "If the bill
had passed the House, Mr. Greely had pow
er to make whatever disposition of it he saw
proper. There was no limitation whatever
upon him. I had confidence in him that he
would use it properly." It became necessa
ry, lie further said, that the bill should have
the attention of some one ; Reverdy . Johnson
being absent on account of professional en
gagements, or for some cause, the witness
wished to provide that some one should be
here as agent.
An Unwritten History Concerning Mr.
Brooks.
A correspondent of the Charleston Courier,
writing from Washington, gives some items
of Mr. Brooks and his attack on Sumner,
which has never before been published. Ile
says:—
Prominent among these reminiscences is
the fact of the reconciliation of the deceased
with Lewis D. Campbell of Ohio, the advi
sing and corresponding friend of Anson Bur
lingame, in his sham demonstration of fight
with the gallant Southron. Campbell meet
ing Brooks during the present session .of
Congress, tendered him his hand, which the
latter refused to accept, declaring that there
were some things to be unsaid before friend
ly relations could ever be restored between
them. Campbell then declared that he ear
nestly desired a reconciliation, adding em
phatically that "he wished to associate with
gentlemen," and was willing and ready to
remove any obstacle that stood in the way of
his purpose. The necessary retraction was
made, and amity was restored, and Camp
bell's sincerity Was signalized by his conduct
and deep agitation at the death bed of Brooks,
and by his subsequent eulogy of Brooks on
the annunciation of his death in the House
of Representatives:'
The poltroonery of Burlingame was a set
tled belief in the mind of Brooks; and he so
declared to a General, a Colonel, or Mr.
James, (of Wisconsin,) I think, who, it is
said, was to have been Burlingame's second,
in the very improbable contingency of an ac
tual duel. He further told James that, if
Burlingame came within his reach he would
cane him, and to let his principal know it.—
It is notorious that Burlingame, after his
Quixotic expedition towards not to the Clif
ton House, never ventured to show his face,
in Washington, during the last session of
Congress, and kept out of Brooks' reach, al
though the latter made several efforts, but
wholly unsuccessful ones, to ascertain his
whereabouts, from Campbell. During the
present session, I am credibly informed. that
Burlingame kept carefully out of Brooks'
reach, never coming to or leaving the capitol,
except in a close carriage, and not even ven
turing on Brooks' side of the House, while
the latter was alive . ; but that, sincethe death
of Brooks, he has been sitting in a chair
next to the seat or desk which B. used to oc
cupy. Yet the creature is regarded by a
large portion of his hood-winked and cheated
people at home, as a hero and champion, and
they have covered him with, not "withblush
ing honors," but with honors that must make
him blush in secret and in shame under a
sense of his own unworthiness and deceit.
I learn, also, that Brooks was only res
trained, by the earnest entreaty of his per
sonal and political friends, from castigating
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, as he had
done W.'s colleague, Sumner, and thus put
ting them on their proper level, as par igno
bile fratrunz.
As a proof of the generosity and kindness
of heart characteristic of Preston S. Brooks,
may be mentioned the fact, that having been
assigned by President Pierce the privilege of
naming some one for a Lieutenancy of the
U. S. Marines, he unasked, and of his own
motion, named a nephew, or other near rela
tive, of Colonel Louis T. Wigfall, now of
Texas, with whom he had fought a duel, on
his father's quarrel, in youth or early man
hood, and by whom he had been severely
wounded, and with whom he had never been
reconciled.
lierA CILIR.kCTER FOR WASITINGTON,—The
Rev. Theodore Parker, one of the three thou
sand reverend denunciators of Senator Doug
las, says " Washington had not a great rea
son, no philosophic power, no imagination,
no fondness for beauty in art or literature.—
At times he poured out the ghastliest of
oaths, was not an affectionate man, and few
flowers of benevolence gleamed across his
path," and the reason for all this was " the
fact that he lived a died and. slaveholder I"
This is monstrous. But then it is this
same Parker who gives to Charles Sumner
all the qualities which were lacking in
Washington, and deems him a hero and a
saint, because We suppose he is not a slave
holder. The reverend gentleman is one of
the bright and shining lights, one of the
leaders and teachers of Abolition Black "Re
publicanism." What does he most de
The Dallas Treaty.
The treaty now before the Senate for con
firmation is important in many respects. It
is designed to settle all difficulties between
this country and
. England in regard to the
Central American States. It would be very
comfortable and desirable to have all those
difficulties ended, and have no cause of con
tention with Great Britain. It is the interest
of both countries to preserve perpetual peace
and good will. But there are certain princi
ples of vital importance to this country that
should not be abandoned for any purpose
whatever. From the partial information we
have in regard to the terms of the treaty be
fore the Senate some of those principles seem
to have been lost sight of in the negotiation.
Since the time when Monroe was Presi
dent it has been the steadfast aim and pur
pose of our government to prevent the Euro
pean powers from acquiring any more influ
ence or any more colonies on this continent
than thoWtthey already possessed. That is
the substage of that "Monroe doctrine," of
which so much has been said and written
within the last fourth of a century. And it
is a known fact that England at first favored
that idea; and not only applauded the Amer
ican government for its adoption, but in fact
encouragedits adoption. Yet, in defiance of
it, England has for several years past sought
to acquire a controlling influence over por
tions of Central America. Could she gain
the desired control our routes of commerce
between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts would
be greatly endangered and disturbed; and
-in case of war between. the two countries
those routes of communication between our
Atlantic and Pacific possessions could be ea
sily and effectually closed against us by Eng-,
land. To compel England to abandon her
aims and pretentions in that direction has
been the object of our government for years.
Yet the treaty negotiated by Mr. Dallas
seems to Lave conceded them in a great Meas
ure, and in so far to have - been an abandon
ment of the "Monroe doctrine."
The treaty appears to aim to form - a sort
of a partnership for an Anglo-American pro
tectorate of the Central American States;
and that, too, without their participation in
the contract, or consent to its terms. The
treaty, if adopted and carried out, would
seem to be a serious. encroachment upon the
sovereignty and independence of those States.
Those States must either consent to the ar
rangement of the treaty, or resist them. To
resist them were vain against two such pow
ers as the United States and England. To
assent to them would be a surrender of Boyer
eigntyand independence.
If rightly informed such appears to be the
import of the treaty ; and it is not surpris
ing that its ratification meets with a strong
opposition in the Senate. We want no Eng
lish interference in Central America. If the
treaty recognises and permits it, it should be
rejected. But we await more full informa
tion, and the action of the Senate.—Pitts
burg Post.

WHITE HALL, Porter township.
Ma. EDITOR :—A number of Teachers and
friends of education assembled in the Loop
School House in this township, on Friday
evening, the 20th ult., for the purpose of hold
ing a Teachers' Institute.
The meeting was organized by choosing the
President of Board of School Directors, DA
VID KNODE, Esq., Chairman, and G. P. Eld_
ridge, Secretary. The subject for the even
ing's discussion was, the importance and
utility of Teachers' Institutes. The Secretary
opened, followed in their advocacy by Messrs.
Tussey, B. F. Brown and Speer. The Presi
dent then made a few remarks, strongly ap
proving of meetings such as the one over
which he was presiding, and expressing his
conviction of the superiority of the present
School system over the old ; after which the
Institute adjourned until Saturday morning.
On Saturday, in the absence of Mr. Eld
ridge, H. S. Johnson was chosen Secretary.
The morning session was occupied in discus
sing the advantages of, and the best method
of teaching, Geography and Grammar.—
Messrs. Johnson, Tussey and Speer severally
illustrated their mode of instruction in these
branches. The propriety of introducing Com
position and Declamation into our Common
Schools was made the special order of the af
ternoon. The discussion on this subject was
quite animated and interesting. An awaken
ed feeling was now manifest among the many
citizens who were present. The Institute ad
journed at 5 o'clock P. M. to meet at 7. In
the evening, the number in attendance Was
very large. Fathers with their sons and mo
thers with their daughters had left the quiet
home circle, and come to listen to the discus
sion of a theme, alike dear to them all—the
education of their own children. The recip
rocal duties of Teachers, Parents and Schol
ars - was the subject of the evening. It was
very ably opened by Mr. Tussey, who was
succeeded by Messrs. J. D. Brown, B. F.
Brown, Johnson and Speer, all urging the
absolute necessity of the co-operation of di
rectors and parents, in order to secure success
in the school room. J. Tussey, Esq., made
some very timely suggestions, for which he
is well qualified by his long experience in
teaching. The President then expressed the
pleasure he had felt in attending the Institute,
and also his willingness to acquiesce in every
measure, tending to further the cause of edu
cation.
On motion, it was then Resolved, That the
directors and citizens of Porter township feel
a deep interest in the Common school system,
and will withhold no exertions to advance
the progress of the same.
Resolved, That R. Milton Speer prepare a
notice of the meeting of the Institute for pub
lication. The Institute then adjourned.
It is but just to add that the people of this
township are beginning to realize the too long
neglected fact, that with the education of our
youth rests the future destiny of our country.
And under the liberal supervision of its pres
ent Board of - Directors, aided by the intelli
gence of its citizens, Porter township will,
ere long, have schools, well worthy itself and
the present age. Her schools now null:
among the first in the county, commanding
alike the pride of their patrons and the admi
ration of all.
AEir The Democratic party now consists of
the slave power of the South, allied with the
Catholics of the North, with just enough
doughfaces thrown in to give a triangular
variety to the mixture.—Republican, Paper.
Whatever the "mixture" is, it has proved
a most admirable remedy for disunion fanat
icism and religious proscription.
The Republican movement needs corn
pactness, breadth, vigor, nationality, gener
osity.—Springfield Republican.
True—and this leaves it in the condition of
the old farmer's gun, which he declared had
"neither lock, stock, nor barrel."
ler Infinite toil would not enable you to
sweep away a mist—but by ascending a lit

it i s with our moral improvement : we wres
tle fiercely wish a vicious habit, which would
have no hold upon us if we ascended into a
higher moral atmosphere.

IPEr The wife of Rufus Adams, of Cohas
set,• Mass., died lately from the brutal treat
ment of her husband. The physician testi
fies that the Cause of her death was, that she
went, on the, night of -her confinement, bare
foot, over the snow and ice, to get a woman
to come and stay with her, the brutal hus
band refusing to go. The scoundrel ought
to be hung on a gallows higher than Haman's.

Front the earliest period to the present time, the history
of every nation, ancient and modern, being separately
given. By S. G. GOODRICH, author of several works of His
tory, 'Peter Parley's Tales,' &c.
It is believed that the above work will be very accepta
ble to the American public. It is the result of years of
toil and labor, assisted in his researches by several scholars
of known ability, and has been got up at a great expense
by the proprietors. No pains have been spared in the ex
ecution of the Illustrations and Maps, 'which are prepared
expressly for this work. Indeed, all the other historical
writing of Mr. Goodrich, sink into insignificance, when
compared to this, the result of his riper and maturer years.
It is admitted that one hundred dollars could not purchase
the same matter in any other shape, and the publishers.
confidently expect, in consideration of the great literary
value of the work, the large sum expended in preparing'
it for the press, and the exceedingly moderate price at
which it is offered, that it will be favorably received by
every lover of good books. Many of our first scholars, di
vines and gentlemen; who have examined the work, have
given it their unqualified approbation and commendation,
which it richly deserves. .
