Towanda, Thursday, May 23,1867. HORACE GREELEY AS JEFFERSON DAVIS' BAIL. It is alleged that Horace Greeley, of the Netc York Tribune, went to Washington, and Richmond, for the purpose of using his influence in fa vor of the release of Jeff. Davis, and proffering himself as security, in case Davis was released. While Mr. G. had a perfect right to do this, so far as we are concerned, and an equal right to make a fool of himself in any other way, we trust he will take good-naturedly any comments or consequences, which this action pro vokes. For ourself, we always tbo't Davis should be hung, not because of any spite, revengeful, or even unkind feelings we entertain towards him, but because public justice, and fu ture security demanded it. Aside from the fact, that the pardoning and releasing of all the leading rebels, invites to another rebellion, it has a tendency to demoralize the whole public sentiment of the nation to wards the government. We hung Mrs. Surratt and three other poor wretches, who doubtless, all deserved their fate ; but would the hellish plot to murder Mr. Lincoln have been concocted, and carried out, by these parties, had it not been for Jeflersou Davis' rebellion ? Was it not enter ed into for the purpose of aiding the rebellion, and as such, part of its devilish work ? Who doubts this ? Who does not know, that if, through Booth's assassin hand, the union had been overthrown, that every member of the conspiracy would have been immortalized by the rebels ? Now, the immediate cause of this conspir acy against the life of the President, is released on bail, as a prelude to his final acquittal, while his poor dupes, because they were poor, and not half so criminal, were hanged.-- This lesson is before the country, and does any one doubt that it lessens re spect for a government that will hang poor but acquit rich criminals of crime ? During the war, many poor people complained that their rela tives were wounded and killed, while the general officers, and other promi nent ones escaped ; but after the death of the President—when the highest of the nation had fallen a victim to the fell spirit of the re bellion, the complainers were recon ciled ; and so it would have been in regard to the rebellion itself, if its chief had been punished as he should have been, and that he is released, is probably more owing to Horace Greeley than any other man in the country. We have said that Mr. G. had done as he pleased in the prem ises, for a man may burn down a house, or murder his neighbor, if he chooses to abide the consequences to himself ; but we do object to a man's bringing odium upon his country, and weakening it shold upon the peo ple, by exposing it to ridicule and ceusure. This be has done in this business. Nor can he release him self on the plea of magnanimity.— Must his whims on this score be , gratified at the expense of the na , tion? And, we think he will be greatly disappointed in the supposi -5 tion, which no doubt has led him on, i that he will be applauded by the lib eral minded of the land. He has be come the apologist of the greatest 1 criminal of the age, and why ? Not because this criminal needed his as -1 sistance. For all the bail, and all the money Davis could use were pro ferred besides, and he could have se cured it by his own means, had it been needed. And if Davis had been poor and despised, would Greeley have plead for his release, and spent . his own money in going to Richmond . to offer himself as surety ? Who be ■ lieves this ? Why did he not go and help Mrs. Surratt, who really needed help 1 His magnanimity was out then. He could get no notoriety there. Oh, poor humanity, how its greatness leaks out through its weak selfish promptings ! ftfir Reports from the Southern States to the Union Republican Con gress Executive Committee, says the Washington correspondent of the Tribune, give a flattering statement of the work of organizing the Re publican party in those States.— Louisiana, from all accounts,is ahead of the other States in the good work. This is attributed to the determined and judicious course of Gen. Sheri dan, who is showing no mercy to Rebels, and is using all the means placed at his disposal by the Recon struction act. Virginia is behind the other States in organization, but the Radical Union politicians write that they have full faith in Gen. Schofield, who is moving slowly, but in the right direction. The Committee is daily receiving contributions from the North, and continually sending agents South to aid in the organiza tion. Gen. Banks is now here, and the Committee is trying to have him make a political tour South. Anna Dickinson has also been invited by the Committee to make a tour through the Southern country. The Commit tee agents state that the negroes in and around the large cities and towns are almost entirely Radical Republi can. Those in the back country and around large plantations are more or less controlled by their masters. JEFFERSON DAVIS. The city dailies have given us long and thrilling* accounts of the passage of Jefferson Davis from Fortress Monroe to the city of Kich- mond, whither the arch-traitor was called by a writ of habeas corpus, is sued by Judge Underwood. The boat was crowded with curious and obsequious people, and every place from the point of startingto the land ing crowds gathered to see his Sa tanic majesty. Two bridal parties went up on the boat in order to get a little notoriety, and add eclat to the liberation of the grand criminal. Some of the rebel ladies, dear crea tures, shed tears when they saw the pale, haggard look of the dishonored chief. We suppose some people would cry, if Beelzebub was releas ed, after he had been chained a while. When the name of John M. Botts was called out in the Court House, as one of Davis' bail, a great buzz went up, because, we suppose, Botts had not been a true rebel. There is no accounting for tastes, or the queer whim of people. We are surprised at one piece of great disrespect, and want of feeling, on the part of Glen. Burton, and his subordinates, who had Davis in charge, (and we should not be surprised if he was instantly dismissed from the public service when it gets to the ears of our wor thy President,) and that was. that the Stars and Stripes were hoisted and allowed to wave over the boat during its passage up the James, with Davis and William B. Reed on it; and it is surprising that these worthies would remain on it under such a standing insult. Hope the Government officials will make hasty and due apologies for this grevious offense, and suggest that the Honor able Edgar Cowan be appointed on a special mission for this purpose.— Mr. Doolittle goes to Russia, and why should not Cowan go some where on a special embassy ? Davis was released on bail, and is there fore, now at large. The result we anticipated more than a year ago ; and what a pretty farce Johnson's reward of a hundred thousand dollars, which he offered, and paid out of the public treasury, for Davis' arrest, turns out to be ? The arrest, im prisonment, and mock trial, which he is to have, costing not less than half a million of dollars, all of which could have been saved if Davis had been suffered to flee in the first place, and this should have been done. For then, besides saving this waste of public money, the nation would have been spared the dishonor which the pusillanimous conduct of the admin istration has brought upon it in its management of the great criminal. From this out Davis will be a hero. The great martyr of a great cause. Had he been left to flee all this dis grace would have been averted. ftgr Despatches from Europe state that the conference of representa tives of leading powers which had assembled in London to try to recon cile the Luxemburg difficulties be tween Prussia and France has been successful. The terms of the settle ment are the guarantee by the great Powers of Europe of the neutrality of the Grand Duchy of Luxumburg, which is to remain, as heretofore pro vided by the treaty of IS3 ( J, under the rule of the King of Holland. In order that these provisions may be effectually carried out, the fortress of Luxemburg is to be razed to the ground, the Prussian troops are to be withdrawn, and no army is to re main within the territory of the duchy except such a limited force as may be required for the purposes of police. &eu)s of tl)e tDeck. —Mexican News byway of Ila- Tanna through Imperial sources represent that the Liberal forces beseiging Queretaro have been defeated ; that Miramon, instead of being dead, is pressing the Liberal forces to the v ail. It is further stated that Maxi millian had entered the City of Mexico with 8,000 men, and had defeated Diaz, captur ing all his artillery and 1,500 prisoners, the latter immediately joining the Imperial forces. The messenger, sent by our Minis ter. Hon. L. D. Campbell, to Juarez, has just reached New-Orleans, and brings news which contradicts the above. He reports Escobedo at Qusretaro with 35,000 men, and in possession of all the roads but one.— Maximillian was in the city with 15,000 men, and it was confidently believed that he would speedily surrender. The Liberals feel very bitter toward Maximillian and his native officers, and it is doubtful if Juarez can save their lives in case of their being taken prisoners. —The lightning played strange freaks in the house of Mr. Joshua Jeffries, Trenton, Mr. J., May 13. It entered the house on the roof, by the side of the chim ney, shivering one of the rafters, and knock ing down a quantity of the ceiling of the upper bedroom. It then passed down the frame of a large mirror hanging against the chimney, shivering the frame, thence down the iron support of a small centre-table, then along the floor, ripping up the carpet and [ tearing out pieces of the flooring, and so out of the side of th e house. From this point it passed along between the tin roof ing and the wood of the kitchen roof, and followed down a tin water pipe into the ground, tearing up the bricks and milking a hole about a foot in depth. No one in the house,was injured, although a servant girl was badly scared by it. —On Sunday last while a largo number of people were visiting an Indian encampment near Auburn, Mo., David L. Stetson, a white man, got into a quarrel with a colored boy named Jackson Lewis. During the quarrel Lewis stabbed Stetson in the back with a pocket-knife, inflicting seriouabut not lutal wounds. Lewis was arrested. —A man named Robert Tayli r, of Cutakill, was shot and instantly killed by James McGuire, in a grocery-store at Stuy vesant Landing, on Tuesday night. They , were both intoxicated, and getting into a (piarrel, McGuiro drew a sietol and shot Taylor, he says, in self-defence. The ball penetrated the brain of the latter, causing instant death. McGuire, who belongs to Peekskill, where his parents reside, was im mediately arrested. —The ship-builtliug interest of New-England is now suffering greater de pression that it has experienced for years, and many of the yards are silent and desert ed. Only about sixteen vessels are now on the stocks in the entire State of Massachu setts. Iu New-Hampshire and Maine the business is somewhat brisker, though com petition with the -hiit-builders of the Brit ish Provinces is difficult and discouraging. —At Bradford, Mass., a spiritual ist named Smith, held a scennce at his house on Tuesday night, which was disturbed by some young men of the village. This en raged Smith, who rushed out with a pistol and shot one of them, named Samuel Web ster, dead. Smith then surrendered him self to the authorities. Webster leaves a wile and family. —On Thursday evening the body of an unknown man was ionnd in the woods near New-Brunswick, N. J. There was noth ing about his person to indicate who he was. The evidence before the Coroner's Jury showed that he was killed by a pistol ball, but whether fired by his own hand or that of an assassin could not be determined. He was about thirty years of age, had dark hair, and had been dead five or six days. —A member of one of the Boston churches, who has been laboring among the fallen women of that city, has persuaded twenty-three to return to their homes, seven of whom have been converted, and five others were furnished homes in Christian families. By his efforts one notorious house of ten inmates has been closed. A party of gentleman out fish ing on Thursday afternoon on the banks of the James lliver, a little below Roeketts, discovered a box on the bank in which was contained the body of a man, and in a clump of bushes near the water the naked form of a female, partly decomposed. The faces of both were past recognition. —The bodies of five persons who died violent deaths were recovered iu Chica go between Saturday and Monday mornings. The body of a man burned to death was found in the ruins of a hotel, a woman was bailed to death in a brewer's vat of scalding water, and three persons were drowned. Oi the latter two were suicides.
