Wiy Horace Greeley Signed Jeff.
Davis's Bail Bond. . i.
From the Macon (Ua.) Telegraph. ''
Mr. Vorhocs, in his recent attack
on Mr. Greeloy, styled bis nigning of
Mr. Davie's) bond "an Impertinent In
terference." Allow me to givo you a
true history of that matter a 1 recent
ly learned it in Now York from a gen
tleman who know ail about it. Mrs.
Davit went to New York to consult
Charles O'C'onor, Mr. DaviVs counsel,
aa tJ the best mannor of etTocting bis
relcaso irom prison, llr.u (Jonortolu
hor that in his opinion there was but
one way that it could bo dono, and
tliat was to got the representative mnn
of the Republican party to sign bin
bond. Airs. Davis inquired who that
man was. Mr. O'Conor replied that
it was Horace Greeloy. Sho then
asked him if ho would not see Mr.
Groeloy and get him to do it. Ho re
plied that he had no influence with
Mr. Greeley, and that .the was tho
proper person to sco him. She said
sho would go and see him. She went
to his nmco, sent in ber card, and was
invited into his privato office. She
said to him r ' '
"Mr. Greeloy, my husbund is con
fined in casemate at Fortress Monroe.
Ho has been there for muny long,
weary months. He is a feeblo old
man, and ho is gradually sinking un
der his rigorous Imprisonment. Ho
will die if ho remains there much lon
ger. I came here to consult Mr. O'
Conor as to the means of golling him
released. . Ho hug told me that there
is but one way to do it, and that is to
got the representative man of the Re
publican party to sign bit bond, and
sayt that .you are that man. He has
advised mo to apply to you. He says
you have a kind heart, and that you
will do it if you beliove it to be rirht.
My hDBband is dying, Mr. Groeloy.
May 1 hope that you will favorably
consider my application V
Mr. Greeloy aroso, extended bis
hand to Mrs. Davia, and said:
"Madam, you may, for I will sign
his bond."
Mr. Greoley was then a prominent
candidate belore the Legislature for
the U. a. senate, some ot bis friends
heard that he had agecd to sign Mr.
Davis'a bond. They went to him and
protested against it. Thoy told him
that tbey bad made a count, and that
be would be elected by six majority,
out li be signod the bond It would tie
feat him. ' 1
"I know it will." ho roplied.
They told bim that he was one of
the ownors ot the Tribune, and if he
signed this bond bo would lose thous
ands of subscribers. . . ,
"I know it," he replied. ' '
"Mr. Grooloy," they said, "you have
written a history of tho war ; ono vol
ume you have out, and you have largo
ordors for that. If you sign this bond
these ordors will bo countermanded,
and you will loso a largo amount of
money."
"Gentlemen," be repliod, "I know
it, but it is right, and I'll do it."
He did do it, and I am informed
that he lost a seat In the United States
Sonata and over 830,000. ,
To my mind this doca not look like
"importinent interference."

ing incident mny not bo considered
much in itself, and yet it is not only,
beyond a doubt, ono of tho many little
things which make op the sum total
of the man's existence to whom It ro

A poor wotnnn wont to tho wood
market to buy a load of wood. The
ownor of the only load for sale askod
U3.75 for it. She had but ? U.00, which
ho took, whilo sho went to hunt up
tho fifteen cents wanting. She soon
returned with tho money, but mean
time tho wooden hearted, wood dealer
had found a four dollar customer, and
sold him tho poor woman's -load of
wood lor It was hers in both law and
fact and gave hor back her money.
She bad not a stick of wood in the
houso and worked an entire week, at
washing, to boy a load. Wo almost

The Road to Siberia.''
Durins tho roitrn of the-Csar Nich
olas, nod wo presume there havo boon
low changos since, the nouiuty oi lius
siu possessed many privileges, and
among tbose not least appreoiutod was
corporal punisbmont, and in ordinary
casos they were conveyed to Siberia,
instead of proceeding tniiiior on loot.
The unfortunate Individuals sent to
struggle against the inclemency of a
bard climate, and lue severity ot hard
er taskmasters, were divided In two
classes : those merely transported and
tbose sentenced to transportation with
hard labor. -The journey fom -KI
to Tobolsk took una year, whilo the
convicts whoso destination was the
mines of Morlchinsl;, soldom reached
it if they did roach it under two
years, cor the Do nos ol many ol
loom that ponsneo ot coiu, hi usage
and sickness wore scattered orer the
interminable Russian steppes to,sorvo
as finger posts to tho molancboly con
voys that followed the snme desolate
rout. These convoys generally con
sisted of one hundred to two hundred
and fifty persons men and women
and children. An armed Cossuck on
horseback then followed tho convicts,
chained together in gangs of twenty,
with a Cossack intervening botwoon
the gangs and a posse of those very
irregular cavalry men closed the pro
cession. The Czar was merciful to
women ; they were not chained. The
siek were gently treated ; they wcro
allowed to ride In vehicles with iron
rings round their necks like wild boasts
in monngcrics. ' .
Perfect silenco reigned in those pro
cessions; tho only Icclmg noticeable
was tho dull apathy of despair. Dur
ing sleep no ono could movo without
causing more or less severe pain to
bis mato. Uunng meals the convict
crouched round fires closoly guarded
by tbo Uossacks. J'.uch column march
ed two days and rested for one day.
lSeyonu iNishnl .Novgorod, when ordi
nary edifices bees mo few and far be
tween, long, low, isoluted buildings
were constructed to serve as pens for
the berds of human cattle. Moreover
guardhouses were established at ir
regular distances to relievo tho escort
Tho ottlcor in command was responsi
ble for the prisoners. He was iiko
tho captain of a ship at sea ; ho was
absolute master over nit and could in
flict any punisbmont short of immcdi
ate doulh. Some olliccrs, however
wcro occasionally found, who rometn
berod that the prisonora had onco been
men und women with souls of thoir
own, and who did not feel any especi
al dolight in iuflicting upon tbum . nu
necessary physical suU'erings. One of
theso convoys was calculated to arrive
weekly at Tobolsk, wboro sal a gov
eminent commission chargod to tho
requirements of the puhlio sorvico,

again and took the periodicals tip. -
On his very next round bo earned
a bundlo of phamphloU, entitled (lid
"Comio Lift) of Horace Greeloy," a
production liberally illustrated with
Iho most aggravating caricatures of

In this county, as in ft" other conn
ties in this Commonwealth, thcie are
those who will come under ihe provi
sions of tho now ptinsion bill just passed;

advantages beyond tno ordinary pen.
sioners. The maimed, the halt, tho
blind and the (leaf aro to be the ob
jects of ibis bill. In tho proportion
between the vurious pensiunert ma
rates determined upon, however, seem
to havo been founded on a strange
philosophy. For instance, a soldier
who has good eyesight in both eyes,
f;ood hoaring, and whoso power of
ocoinolion by bis foot aro oxccllont.
is to receive filly dollars a month, if
he has lost both of his hands ; if he
has tho same advantages in seeing,
hoaring and has also two hands which
ho mny use, but has lost both fuel, he
is lo receive but forty dollars a month,
thus dourly showing, in Iho opinion
of Congress, that u man's hands are
worth 120 peranuum more lhan his
feet. But it the soldier is but hull dis
abled in baud or toot and hat ono of
eilhor members which ho can use, ho
is not put upon tho ratio of half tho
pension which would havo beon paid
bim if had lost both members. . Twen
ty-five dollars a month would seem lo
be the exact rutin where bat a single
limb is lost if filly dollars is tho just
payment for tho loss oi both. IJttt
this bill proposes to givo to the single
handed or singlo looted pensioner
thirty dollars a month, although it
must be evident that a person who
has one hand and ono foot has an nd
vantugo which makes hint considera
bly more favored than ono hull over
the man who hits lost both members.
Theso distinctions are odd, but tho
most unaccountable- in the bill is that
which relates to the totally blind.
Whilo a soldier who can seo and hear
and walk and talk gets fifty dollars a
month boeuase he bus lost both hands,
Iho totally blind man, who can do
very litt'o except with assistance, ro
ceives ten dollars a month loss than
the good sighted man who has no
hands. The philosophy of this dis
tinction does not seem very clear.
Tho mull without hands may, by tho
uso of artificial limbs, do something,
and not bo utterly helpless, but tbo
blind man is Iho most wretched of all,
if ho is poor and these pensionoin
aro poor. In tho controversy of hands
vs. oyes tho world generally would be
disposed to say that eyes are most
important. But Congress does not
soe in to think so, und tbo distinction
taken in this bill seem to bo arbitrary
rather than wiso. n : t i t , .
