Important Notice to Subscribers Liv.

After the first of July the JOURNAL
will not be mailed to subscribers residing
out of the State, and only out of the coun
ty at our option, UNLESS PREPAID. This
course has been made necessary by a score
or two of our subscribers, scattered over
the West, to whom we have sent bills,
failing to respond. We give them until
the Ist of July to come to time and if they
do not pay by that date, we will make out
their bills at the rate Of THREE DOLLARS
per year, and forward them to the proper
officers for collection. tf.

those to whom it was addressed.
Air Qornman, if the Globe comes it
will not be our fault. It will be very bad

se,. Capt. George S. Mullen received
the nom:mtion at the hands of the Repub
Beans of Bedford county,for Senator. The
Captain is a tower of strength, and should
he be nominated by the district conference
he will add greatly, to the strength of the
local ticket in his own county. We do
hope he may be nominated.
mu The Globe states that it is unne
cessary for candidates for the various offi
ces to be filled in this county, this fall, to
give themselves any further trouble as a
slate has already been made up, the ticket
formed, and the ratification of the County
Convention alone necessary to complete it.
If the Globe wants to tell us that this has
been done by its friends, we thank it for
the information, but if on the other hand
it means to insinuate that any other per
son or persons, who are prominent in the
politics of this county, have been guilty of
this.kind of "shenanegan," we emphatical
ly deny it. Strife is what the Globe wants !
GREELEY ON GRATZ BROWN.
In September, 1870, Greeley character
ized the "reform" movement in Missouri,
of which Brown and Schurz were the or
iginators, as "a conspiracy to destroy the
Republican party." His opinion of Brown
and his schemes is thus given :
“Governor McClurg of Missouri was among those
marked out for prostration by this conspiracy. Ae
eordingly, we were nowise surprised when a mi
nority of the late Republican Convention at Jeffer
--stlli City, finding that they could not defeat *Gov
ernor McClurg's renomination, BOLTED, resolved
themselves into a hostile body and nominated B.
Gratz Brown for Governor, with a full ticket to
match. Right well these bolters knew that they
could poll but a small portion of the Republican
vote; but the Demoerats had declined by precon
eert to nominate a ticket, and will poll their full
vote for the bolters' ticket; and this, it is hoped,
will elect it.”
GREELEY ON PARTIES.
In February 1871 Horace Greeley who
is now imploring the support of the Dem
ocratic party, thus wrote in reference to
President
. tirant, the Republicans and
the Democrats :
"We like General Grant; but we care far more
for Republican ascendency than for any man's
personal fortunes. It is in our view of great im
-portanee that the opposition shall be kept out of
p ower , • * * * * e *
"For a Democratic national triumph means a
restoration to power of thee, who deserted their
seats in Congress and their places under the last
Democratic President to plunge the country into
the Red Sea of Secession and Rebellion. Though
you paint an inch thick, to this complexion you
must come at last. The brain, the heart, the soul,
of the present Democratic party is the rebel ele
ment at the South with its Northern allies and
sympathizers. It is rebel at the core to-day.. •
"It would hail the election of a Democratic
President in 1872 as a virtual reversal of the Ap
pomattox surrender. It would come into power
with the hate, the chagrin, the wrath, the mortifi
cation, of ten bitter years, to impel and guide its
steps. It would hail the tidings of national bank
ruptcy with unalloyed gladness and unconcealed
exultation. Whatever chastisement may be desir
ed by our national eine, we must hope that this
disgrace and humiliation will be spared us."
TO BE OR NOT TO BE
There is a fearful convulsion of the bow
els of the Democratic party going on at
present. The mere proposition to swallow
Greeley has produced sickness at the stom
ach, and the writhing and contortions, un
der the effects of the nausea, threaten the
most serious consequences. Pliable con
sciences manifest a desire to overcome all
scruples and swallow the dose, while others
cast it away with abhorrence. Even the
political doctors are at variance as to the
effects, if the dose could under any possi
bility be administered. Some confidently,
affirm that it would not only cure, but
prove a panacea against all the ills to which
the party is heir; while others gravely de
clare their firm belief that death to the
party would immediately follow as the di
rect effect of the dose. Awaiting the final
decision upon this grave dilemma, we may
in the meantime quote the opinions of
some of the Democratic savans as to the
effects of the Greeley pill upon the sickly
constitution of the party.
Senator Bayard says:
"I cannot think that the Democrats will barter
away their grand and simple party faith to follow
an eccentric nomination which defeats every theo
ry of wisdom, propriety, and justice ever advanced
for the control of their party movements:"
The New York World:
"In this State at best Mr. Greeley has hardly a
corporal's guard of Republican supporters, whereas
there are multitudes of Democrats who cannot be
persuaded to vote for him under any circumstan
ces."
Turning our attention South we find a
very general and growing Democratic re
puLnance to Greeley. The Columbus,
Ga., Daily Sun says :
"If we go into the camp of our enemy to select
our commander it will discourage our own well
tried generals, and defeat will certainly await us."
And the Savannah, Ga., Arews
"If Horace Greeley is indorsed by the Baltimore
Convention the campaign in Georgia will be dis
astrous to the Democracy. The demoralization
will be comple e, and we fear final. We warn the
politicians now that the indorsement of Greeley
will collapse the Democratic party, not only in
this State, but throughout the South."
Convention.
Said Alexander H. Stephens, a few days
ago, to a Greeley man who gins an ac
count of the interview :
"Your course, and the course of others with you,
in jumping from Grant to Greeley, is not unlike
that of the monkey with the fiddle on the cone of
a house. At each draw of the bow he jumped back,
startled at the screaking sound; continuing to
draw, and jumping back at each sereak, he finally
reached the end of his row, and at his last draw of
the bow he made his last backward jump, and,
falling heels over bead, broke his neck! So you
and others, in jumping from the screaking Grant
music, are likely to make n fatal jump, which will
land you all with broken necks on the hard ground
of Greeley below."
The Norfolk, Va., Day Book, (Demo
cratic) pronounces the obsequies of the
party, should Greeley be indorsed. It says:
"And so, when the Democratic politicians at
Baltimore shall have flung their principles to the
winds, and with "anything to beat Grant" for
their motto, have taken refuge under Greeley's
white hat, preparations for the final obsequies of
the Democratic party may at once be made. It
will die in disgrace, and sink into a dishonored
grave, with none to mourn its loss. And in that
political sleep, that shall know no waking, will re
pose together the man who would betray the Re
publican party, and the men who did betray the
Democratic party, into the hands of the execution
er for the sake of power and place. The epitaph
of Horace Greeley may be written thus: 'Hare lies
the Judas Iscariot of American politics. He bar
tered his soul for pieces of silver—though less suc
cessful than his prototype, be failed to grasp the
price of his treachery.' "
And so on throughout the Democratic
party : One portion of them will shut
their eyes an 3 swallow Greeley, another
portion cannot do so, sugar-coat him as
you may.
HORACE ON HORACE,
Horace White, of the Chicago Tribune,
is an ultra Free Trade advocate. Horace
Greeley, of the New York Tribune, did
represent the protection interests, though
he now definitely represents nothing. The
two boraces' are now fraternizing like
brothers and eulogizing each other in their
respective papers. Verily politics make
strange bed fellows. It is not long since
the two Horaces' gave the following char
acters, one of the other, in their respective
Tribunes. Horace Greeley said:
" llorace White is a man for whom I never had
any respect. The Chicago Tribune is a paper in
which.). never had any confidence."
And Horace White said :
"Horace Greeley is not now and never has been
a man who ought to be trusted with an official po
sition requiring practical wisdom, ordinary states
manship or firm, consistant action. For twenty
five years he has been a marplot in council; an
unreliable commander in action ; a misanthrope in
victory, and a riotous disorganizer in defeat. He
has always been fanatical in his demands for the
extremest measures, and when thoparty has reach
ed the eve of triumph, invaribly thrusts himself
forward as a negociator of teems of surrender to
the enemy. His course during the war was but a
repetition of his course in politics. In 1861 he was
an open defender of secession; ho changed to a
vigorous champion of the war, and thereafter was
forever recklessly making proposals for peace and
as recklessly withdrawing them—making war in
spite of Mare, and negotiating in spite of Minerva.
For twenty years he has been an uncompromising
advoeste fora square fight with the pro-slavery
party, and when that kind of a fight w. forced
upon the Republicans in 1860 he was here in Chi
cago, voting not for Mr. Lincoln, nor for Chase,
but for old Edward Bates, of Missouri, one of the
fossils of the slave party. He was then the asso
ciate and colaborer of that other impracticable and
unreliable squad—the Rh ir family. Tho country
at this time wants no inspired harlequins in the
national councils. Still less does it want men
with statesmanship so microscopic that they can
see nothing in public business but the mileage and
per diem of their fellow memberis. If Mr. Greeley
is not satisfied with his position as a journalist—
s position which ought to be equal in point of in
fluence, power and dignity to that of six average
Senators—and if the Republicans of New York
want to do something for him, let them make him
State prison inspector or even Governor; any
thing that will notipake the outside of the State
responsible for his follies."
If White succeeds in securing the elec
tion of Greeley to the Presidency he will
undoubtedly be invited to take charge of
the portfolio of the U. S. Treasury.
A DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH.
If the Democrats decide to endorse
Greeley at Baltimore it will be as a De
mocratic candidate and in no other view.
His election would be purely a Democratic
triumph ; and to know what that means
we quote -Greeley's own words from the
Tribune. He says :
"A Democratic national triumph moans a resto
ration to power of those who deserted their seats
in Congress and their places under the last Demo
cratic President to plunge the country into the
Red sea of secession and rebellion. Though you
paint an inch thick, to this complexion you must
come at last. The brain, tho heart, the soul of the
present Democratic party is the rebel element at
the South, with its Northern allies and sympathi
zers."
If the inquiry should be made, as it
naturally will be a thousand times over,
"Why do the Democratic party think of
nominating Horace Greeley ?" the answer
is already supplied by the Louisville, Ky.,
Courier-Journal, (Democratic), which says:
"No other means of defeating the Radical party
offers and Democrats have no other choice than to
accept him. After the snake has been killed ere shall
hare it in our power to du as we please.
Once elected, and in the hands of the
Democracy, poor Greeley would become a
mere cypher; and if he took his fate seri
ously to heart it would kill him before the
long warm days in the first July of his
Administration bad passed away, and on
his tombstone, in the shades of Chappaqua,
would be written, "Died at the Ilan& of
the politicians."
PARALLEL READINGS
The first passage below is from a speech
by Horace Greeley, in New York, Jan. 5,
1871, and published in the Tribune of
January 6. The other is from the edito
rial columns of the Tribune June, 1872 :
Greeley in 1872.
"We believe it impels
Greeley in 1871.
"As to the Admin hare;

States two hundred me

without at the same time
finding a majority of them
who recognize the facts
that the election of Gen.
Grant would be a nation
al disaster, and that the
only possible way of pre
venting that disaster is
through the election of
Mr. Greeley. An assem

efforts to procure the ra

whereby the fruits of our
great triumph over rebel
lion and slavery are as
sured and perpetuated.
While asserting the right
of every Republican to

of a candidate for neat
President until a nomin
ation is made, I venture
to suggest that General
Grant will be far better
qualified for that momen-1
tons trust in tan than ,
rive at this conclusion.
he was in 1868.
The facts expressed in the first extract
in reference to Gen. Grant are just as true
now as they were when uttered. Grant
has not changed, but somebody has. The
vindictive denunciation of Grant in which
Greeley now indulges, and the presumption
of his superior fitness for the Presidency,
display a weakness and a vanity of which
we had hitherto supposed Mr. Greeley in
capable.
GREELEY ON SCHURZ
The "reform" movement, falsely so call
ed, of which Greeley is now the standard
bearer, originated with Schurz and Brown•
In portraying these "reformers" and in
very properly opposing the movement and
exposing the knavery of its projectors, Mr.
Greeley said in the Tribune Nov. 30,
1870 :
The Missouri bolt AILS arranged in Washing
ton last winter and then proclaimed in the free
trade organs. The game was to get a minority of
the Republicans to unite with the Democrats and
revolutionize the State. To this end an issue on
enfranchisement was indispensible. The Demo
crats were not all free traders but they all wanted
the rebels enfranchised and would vote any ticket
to secure that end. The Republicans were divided
on enfranchisement; some believing that the time
for it had come, other that it had not. When there
fore Carl Shurtz in a bullying, irritating speech in
sisted that the Republican Convention should
make enfranchisement a plank of its platform the
answer was obvious.
Yon ask us to assert a falsehood—namely, that
we are all in favor of enfranchisement when some
of no are not.' The Republicans adopted a plat
form which left every one free to vote for or against
enfranchisement as he judged best. Whereupon
the pro-determined bolt was made. We warn the
Republicans that the pretext was a sham ; that en
franchisement was certain to be carried anyhow ;
that the real object of the bolt was to hand the
State over to sham Democracy and free-trade. And
that is the naked truth."
And another "naked truth" is that
Greeley is now the tool of these political
tricksters.
GREELEY ON GRANT,
Here is Greeley's former testimony to
Grants' fidelity and success, as transferred
from the editorial columns of the Tribune:
"Upon General Grant's accession to the Presi
dency a number of those who bad supported his
election, with some who had not, sought office at
his hands or expected him to bestow it unasked.
He was unable to gratify their aspirations. . 1
" Their lamentations mingled with the howls of
the disappointed, made a doleful dissonance,
whereof the only meaning deducible runs thus:
`General Grant is found wanting—his adminis
tration is a failure!'
" 'Failure?' how? in what ? Have we not peace
and plenty in the land ? Is not our flag display:
ed and respected on every sea? What foreign foe
molests or threatens us? Who fears insurrection at
home or invasion from abroad ? In which of the
thirty-six States are the masses wanting work,
discontented, suffering ?
"Consider our financial condition. Nearly
every State and municipality paying off debts in
curred in raising men for the war, while the na
tional debt has been reduced nearly thirty millions
in the four months that General Grant has bad his
hands on the helm. The pnblic expenditure is
falling off on every side, while the revenue is up
to high water mark.
"Yes, General Grant has failed to gratify some
eager aspirations, and has thereby incurred some
intense hatreds. These will not and do not fail;
and his administration will prove at least equally
vital. We shall hear lamentation after lamenta
tion over his failure, from those whose wish is
father to the thought; but the American people
let them pass unheeded. Their strong arms bore
him triumphantly through the war and into the
White House and they still uphold and sustain
him. They never /ailed, and never will !"
THEN AND NOW.
Writing of the duty of the Government
in reference to the Ku-Klux outrages, less
than a year ago, Greeley said :
"I bold our Government bound by its duty of
protecting our citizens in their fundamental rights,
to pass and enforce laws for the extirpation of the
execrable Kuklux conspiracy ; and if it has not the
power to do it, then I say our Government is no
Government, but a sham. I therefore on every
proper occasion advocated andjustiSed the Kuklux
act. I hold it especially desirable for the South ;
and if it does not prove strong enough to effect its
purpose, I hope it will be made stronger and
stronger."
Now the tune is charged. The Tribune
denounces Congress and the President be
cause of the authority proposed to be con
tinued in the hands of the President to
suspend the habeas corpus act where the
public safety requires it. Says the Tri
bune :
"This is to put into the President's hands a
sword to gain a re-election, an iniquitous attempt
to gag and fetter a people just beginning to recov
er its freedom of speech and action—a bill for
keeping the South under military rule for political
purposes?'
COMPLIMENTARY?
Poor Horace, how he loves the Demo
cratic party whose endorsement and votes
he is now soliciting. Here is a specimen
of his compliments, taken from the edito
rial columns of the Tribune of a not very
remote date :
"Point whenever you please to an election dis
trict which you will pronounce morally rotten— ,
given up in great part to debauchery and vice—
and that district will be found at nearly or every
election to give a large majority for that which
styles itself the Democratic Tarty." *
"Take all the haunts of debauchery in the land
and you will find nine-tenths of their masterspirits
active participants of that same Democracy."
* * "May it be written on my grave that I
never was its follower, and lived and died in noth
ing its debtor!'
After that how can the Baltimore Con•
vention turn a deaf ear to the importuni•
ties of the Chappaqua Sage ?
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington City and Citizens—The Ar
bitration Muddle—The President—The
Cabinet Newspaper Change Our
Streets—Tax and Tariff Reductions—
Treaty with Japan.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 24, 1872.
WASHINGTON IN MIDSUMMER.
There is a notable contrast in the prom
inent characteristics of the National Capi
tol in Midsummer and during the winter
season. Then Congress is in session, and
thousands of strangers are constantly in the
city.. Now these have all left, and a ve
ry large portion of the prominent residents
are away to Europe or to the watering
places on the seashore, while others are
rusticating at the Springs or on the Moun
tains in the north. In the winter a con
stant round of receptions, dinners, and so
ciables is kept up, now scarcely a call is
made, or even a card left. Those who
remain in the city, prefer home quiet to the
formalities and etiquette of society and have
no desire either to make calls or to receive
them. They go occasionally on a trip to
to Mount Vernon or Piney Point, or per
haps to Fort Monroe and Norfolk on some
of the commodious steamers playing on the
Potomac and Bay, eiid return next day-
The streets are quiet, with the exception
of Pennsylvania Avenue, where in the af
ternoons the side-walks are prety well filled
with those who enjoy an hour's premanade,
while upon the avenue later in the after
noon, and for an hour or two after snnset,
may be seen . almost 4 continuous stream of
carriages of every variety, and all very
fine, with horses not surpassed in beauty in
any part of the Union.
THE ARBITRATION MUDDLE,
The problem of indirect claims has not
yet been solved. The arbitrators, with
counsel, are at Geneva, and have on and
since the ]'sth held a number of confer
ences, without arriving at definite results.
England is still pressing for an eight
months' postponement, the object of which
is not definitely known, though ostensibly
claimed to be fer the purpose of securing
further concessions from the United States
Government. This, the Senate, the Sec
retary of State, and the President declines
to give, and so the matter stands at pres
ent. An adjournment has taken place till
Wednesday, the 26th. The latest intelli
gence from Geneva, indicated a hopeful
feeling, on the part of the arbitration that
all difficulties would be overcome, and the
Treaty saved. It has been impossible
hitherto for newspaper reporters to gain
admission to the sessions of the Arbitra
tion; but Farrot, the Secretary of the
Board, has informed representatives of the
press that they will be admitted to the'
council room as soon as certain delicate
questions can be settled. At the Cabinet
meeting here on Tuesday, no new measure
or concession was proposed in reference to
the matter. Correspondence and dispatch
es from Geneva, were read by Secretary
Fish, bat no action we.s taken, the matter
being left to Secretary Fish and the Com
missioner and Consul at Geneva.
[Since writing the above tWe Board has
decided not to admit Indirect Claims. This
settles the matter.]
THE PRESIDENT.
The President returned to Washington
on Monday, held a Cabinet meeting on
Tuesday, saw some hundred or more callers
on Wednesday, visited the Treasury, had
a protracted consultation with the Assist
ant Secretary Richardson, and in the ev
ening took the 9:20 train for Long Branch.
To-night he will start from that place for
Boston, remaining there until Thursday
night. In the meantime, he will attend
in that city the meeting of the Peabody
Educational Fund, his presence being
necesary to constitute a quorum of the
Board. On Saturday he will be in New
York to take farewell of his son Ulysses,
now at Harvard University, who will leave
for England, for educational purposes, to
remain a year, at the end of which time
he will return to the University. His
eldest son, Frederick, now in Europe, will
return to the United States early in Sep
tember, and his daughter, Nellie, in Octo
ber. The President will not Again come
to Washington until the 6th of July, uti
less important. pohlir ch.ll
mand his presence before that time.
THE WASHINGTON DAILY CHRONICLE.
Ex-Senator Harlan has purchased one
half of the Daily Morning Uhronicle from
Mr. J. M. Morris, who over a year ago
bought the paper and good will from Col.
J. W. Forney. The ex-Senator will make
it more decided in its support of the Ad
ministration, and already its general at
tractions have been largely increased. Mr.
Morris is in poor health, and his recovery
is problematical. He will leave next week
for a visit via Panama to the Pacific, on a
health trip. He carries with him the good
wishes of hosts of friends for his safe re
turn with renewed health.
THE CABINET.
All the members of the Cabinet are now
at their posts, excepting the Secretary of
the Navy, who is officially absent, to re
turn in a few days. Attorney General
Williams returned from Oregon on Thurs
day morning. Secretary Fish has recov
ered from the prostration and sickness un
der which. he labored, and is again at the
State Department. '
OUR STREETS,
The streets and avenues of Washington
have the appearance of being visited by a
succession of earthquakes. It is said that
sixty-two of them are under contract to be
paved and the work is progressing ; in the
meantime many of the avenues and streets
are utterly impassable. They will present
a magnificent appearance when completed.
THE REDUCTION OF TAXES,
The total reduction of customs duties
under the act of June 6th, 1872, (and on
tea and coffee under act of May 1, 1872,)
on the principal dutiable articles and man
ufactures and on articles transferred to
the free list as estimated at the Treasury
department, amounts to $31,172,761.38.
Of this sum the reduction on tea and cof
fee alone amounts to $15,893,846.67. In
addition to this there is a total reduction
of internal taxes of $20,651,000, making
a grand total of $51,823,761.
THE TREATY WITH JAPAN
Ito has returned from Japan with in
structions to Iwakura to complete the
Treaty between that country and the Uni
ted States on a much more liberal basis
than was originally contemplated.
The Tariff Bill and Speaker Blaine.
The tax. and tariff bill has received the
approval of the President, and is now the
law of the land.
Many portions of the bill are such as
will warmly commend themselves to the
judgment of the people, while those fea
tures against which certain sections have
protested have sufficient compensations to
render the whole highly acceptable as a
measure of relief to all classes.
The adverse criticisms which, during
the winter, were so freely indulged in by
the Republican papers of Pennsylvania as
to the composition of the Ways and Means
Committee, were not in all respects well
grounded. So far, at least, as reflection
was made on Speaker Blaine for his res
ponsibility in organizing the committee,
we think some anzende or, at least, expla
nation is due.
In the first place, it is conceded here by
those who know best, that the composition
of the committee was acceptable to an
overwhelming majority of the House, and'
fairly represented its varied shades of
opinion on the tariff question. In this
respect the primal and imperative duty of
the Speaker was faithfully perfmned.
In the second place, the best friends of
protection, observant of the current of
events at the capital, feel confident that if
a high protection committee had been or
ganized the House would have resented it
—stubbornly resisted its recommendations,
and returned with a counter attack.
It must not be forgotten that this same
House voted by more than three to one
in the first month of its organization to
place coal and salt on the free list. It was
not a protection House in its essential de
ments, and to have organized its chief
committee on that basis would have been
both unfair and unwise. Forty-three per
cent. of the entire House are Democrats,
about twenty per cent, are Republicans of
Western tariff views. With such a House
it required delicate and skillful manage
ment to avert a regular blow-up on the
tariff question. Our Pennsylvania friends
will please make a note of this.
In the third place, let it be known that
the wise concessions of the very moderate
reduction of duties that was made has set
tled the tariff on a firmer basis than it has
rested on for a quarter of a century. To
have refused that would have been to re
mand the issue to the violence of the hust
ings, and vested interests and great enter
prises would have been shocked and para
lyzed in the encounter. For the wise
settlement that has averted this, more is
due to the good management, the frank
dealing, and the active influence of Speak
er Blaine, than to all other causes combi
ned.
We trust that onr Pennsylvania friends
will do justice to the Speaker. We, in
common with them, found fault when his
committee was first announced, but we are
convinced that he acted throughout fairly,
honorably, and with an abundance of wis
dom, tact, and discretion in the premi
ses—Washington Sunday Chronicle.
