Towanda, Thursday, May 30,1867. UKEKLEY AS DAVIS' BAIL. HORACE GREELEY seems to think I that all who find fault with him for' becoming Jefferson Davis' bail, are enemies common way, of common men, when they get into a bad scrape, are call ed to an account, aud are unable to offer any justification for bad con duct, to feel, and to say they are abused, and abuse ;s not worth re plying to ; but we did not think Mr. G. would attempt to hide himself un der this old subterfuge. Now what are the facts in this case ? Why, that the entire republican party, so far as any expression has been given it has been pretty generally given) condemns Mr. Greeley's act iu offering himself as security for the arch traitor. All the men, and all the papers, in the party, denounce the act as an unmitigated piece of lolly ; and yet, almost all these--the people and the papers—up to this time, have been friendly to Mr. G., and have looked upon him as an able leader ; aud now, because these con demn his action in the premises, they are called enemies, and are scurril ous. They pity the man and con demn the act, but it is not the work of enemies, and the reason why they find fault with his action is, because it is wrong. They would not com plain if those who thought aud act ed with Davis, went his bail. His traitorous proceeding was right in their eyes, and it was only consist ent in them to help him, when he needed help. But for one, who had always contended that the rebellion was a crime, to assist in releasing from punishment the head and front of that rebellion, makes nimseif not only inconsistent, but he becomes the apologist for the criminals' wrongs. Do honest men, who condemn horse stealing, house-breaking, pick-pock eting, &c., usually become the se curities of this class of desperadoes? And it b because Horace Greeley, has, indirectly, at least, approved of Jefferson Davis' crimes, by bailing him away from punishment, that the republicans all over the land, con demn him. Not for the reason that they are his enemies, but because he has done wrong. By this step, he has lost more than he is aware of, and more than he will recover acrain soon. He may swagger, and boast his indifference, but no man can (and he is not a man if he can) be indif ferent to the censure of a whole na tion, such as the republican party now represents. Greeley, like ev ery one else who is infatuated with his own wrong, says he was right in doing as he did. He alone has the sagacity, the intelligence, the liber ality and magnanimity, to compre hend fully the generosity and noble ness which led him into this step— lolly in our judgment. This grows out of excessive vanity, aud egotism with which the Tribune's editor has been sorely aillicted for the last ten years. He has not been proof against the flattery aud adulation which has been heaped upon him. The truth is, it has nearly, and is in a fair way of ruining the man altogether. It may seem like a bold assertion in us to say, that the Tribune's edi torials, in which arguments are ad vanced in justification of Mr. Gree ley's conduct iu becoming surety for Jeff. Davis, appear absurd, and yet such is the fact. Look at it. The main reason as signed for Davis, is that he lias been kept in prison for two years, and yet has not been convicted of any crime! Mr. Greeley does not know that Davis headed a rebellion against the government of the United States, and caused, through it, the commis sion of all the crimes that were ever committed against a people, oh no, he does not kuow this. It must be proven before a jury before he will believe it. Is this not mockery ? Is it not an outrage upon the under standing of the people who suffered j so fearfully through Davis' villainous crimes ? And then, it was such a disgrace to the nation, such a gross injustice to keep an arch-traitor two years in prison before he had beep, convicted of crime ! Oh yes, accord ing to Greeley's logic, Jefferson Da vis alone has been the sufferer in this controversy and fight with the Uni ted States. Where is his folly lead ing him '( He says, the mass of the American nation hold that Davis should be hung for his crimes, and while he has received no just punish ment, still Greeley contends that two years imprisonment is a great wrong to a man that ought to be hung. The malicious Bpite of Greeley, as exhibited in his lliug at Bryant and Weed, adds a bad spot in his heart to the want ol sense he has shown in this bail business. We have no lik ing for Weed, but was it air to draw a comparison between him and j Davis! 1 At most a rumor,or surmise is atioat, that Weed was concerned in a cheat against the government, and on a trial at court, it could not be proven against him. Yet how is it with Davis. Is there any doubt of his having been a traitor '( This is a certainty, and all can say it with impunity, but Greeley dare not say that Bryant and Weed were concern ed in a fraud against the government; yet he will meanly insinuate it. In his last article of self defense, Mr. Greeley gives extracts from the Richmond Whig, the Lynchburg Fir ginian, and Baltimore Sun, three ram pant rebel organs, showing that he did right in going bail for Davis.— What worse could he have done ? Docs not every republicau in the laud know that not only these three, but more than three hundred rebel and copperhead organs will laud his act as so much of a justification of Davis' crimes, aud that of all the other rebels ? But are these quota tions not fatal to Greeley's defense ? Is he not hard up, has he not got in to bad company, when he is obliged to take extracts from rebel papers to justify his acts. It seems to us, he is rehearsing the 'bull in the meshes,' the more lie struggles the deeper he gets in. He declares that those who charge that he went Davis' bail for the sake of uotorcty, " abuse him, throw mud at him," &c., and of course throwing mud is wrong. Hear what he says : " Nine-tenths of those now loudest in condemning that re lease are heartily glad of it, and on ly affect the contrary because they thereby gratify a spite, or hope to advance their own fortunes at the expense of some one else. If they could have Davis back in Fortress Monroe this hour by simply wishing it they would not." It is wrong in us tb attribute seltish motives to G. Is it right in him to attribute them to us ? Then, what spite have we to gratify ? Or how is our fortune advanced by censuring Greeley for his errors? We would not, if we could, wish Davis back to Fortress Monroe to be entertained like a prince, but we would send him to the gallows, or to an Audersouville prison during his natural life. Mr. Greeley predicts that all those who find fault with the release of Davis, and with him for assisting in the matter, will, " ere three years are passed, protest that they did not mean it," or in other words, regret their condemnation of this business. This is barely possible, but highly improbable ; and while Mr. G. has set us the example, we will also pro phecy : and that is, that he will deeply regret this Davis bail trans action ere three years are ended, un less indeed, he goes entirely over to the enemy, and there is now some danger of this ; even then, we can not see how he can get rid of deep mortification. Netus of tl)c lUctk. —Albert Allen,a boy of Lincsville, Erie County, Peun., lately ran away with $3,000 belonging to bis father, and was tin ally arrested in Saginaw, Mich. He bought an interest in a saloon in Cleveland for $l5O, and immediately sold it for SIOO, then bought the tugboat Emma, of Saginaw, paying $750 cash for it,and was about going in the towing business when arrested. —Last Saturday night, Hamilton Doughinan, a fitrmer, of St. Joseph, Mo., had a street encounter with two of his broth ers-in-law. After the exchange of some ten shots, he shot one of them, named William Montry, in the left breast, causing his in stant death. Doughman was immediately arrested. The friends of the prisoner de clare that the act was committed in self-de fence. —A singular and imposing wed ding ceremony came ofl'at Milford, Conn., on Wednesday evening. The groom being a Knight Templar, the knot was tied in a Masonic hall, and the happy couple were escorted under the "arch of steel" with im posing grandeur. The Sir Knights were in full uniform, and appropriate music enliven ed the occasion. —Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and several of the Eastern States will be represented at the coming races on the Laclede Course at St. Louis. Fifty horses, some of them possess ing national reputations, already occupy the stables at the track, and take their "consti tutionals" every morning outside the en closure. —Gov. Patton has made arrange ments for the payment, in New-York and London, of the total interest on the State debt of Alabama, up to July 1. The May interest, amounting to $04,731, is already paid ; the interest accruing in June and July has been forwarded. The aggregate in coin is $158,008. —Over fifty plans and drawings for the new building for the War Depart ment have been received. Many of them are very elaborate and nearly all are entire ly different from the present style of pub lic buildings, and vary in cost from $2,000,- 000 to $0,000,000. No plan will be adopted until next Winter. —Carter D. Poindexter, formerly au officer of the navy, but who resigned and espoused the rebel cause during the rebell ion, has just been pardoned by the Presi dent. He is cultivating a farm near Nor folk, Va., occasionally turning his attention to the taking of fish and oysters. —An emigrant and a spec ial freight train collided at Whitby Station, C. W., Thursday. The rear emigrant car was bad ly smashed. One man, three women and a child were killed. Several others were more or less injured. The passengers were Germans. —The coming monthly statement of the Treasury will indicate a temporary increase in the national debt, which will be balanced by the retuen of June, when the income revenue will be raceivcd. —Jefferson Davis has reached the shores of Canada, the traditional refuge of Southern fugitives, black or white. He has escaped the land, but not the memory of Andereonville andLibby. —The Constitutional Convention of Michigan voted down, by a large majori ty, a motion to consider the eight-hour law ; aud very properly, such a regulation being a matter for statute and not constitutional enactment. General Pope is reconstructing Mobile, having already removed the mayor and chief of police. This action of his ralher throws doubt over the "accidental ex citement" theory of the Mobile and Demo cratic press o& the late riot. —The differences between Napo leon and the Corps Legislatif of France, on the angtf -organization question, have keen satisfactorily settled, say the foreign des patches of this morning. We suppose this means an amicable settlement The differ ences between our Congress and the Presi dent were satisfactorily adjusted during the last session. —The resting place of the remains of the Murderer of Abraham Lincoln is in the Old Penitentiary, Washington city, ad joining the old Arsenal grounds. The build ing hies not been used as a prison for many years, and at the time of the assassination was occupied as an ordnance department. One of the largi st colls on the first floor was selected for the burial ground. The ammu nition it contained was removed, a large flat stone was lilted from ifs place, a grave dug, ahd the remains of the assassin deposited therein, where they rest to this day. The stone was replaced, and should be engraved with the simple truth, '-litre rests n youth made mad by the teachiny of modem demo crats for surely if the blood of Abraham Lincoln is on the soul of his murderer, the fearful end of Booth will forever be remem l>ered as the result of the crimiual influen ces of Democracy. —Anson G. B. Dodge, of New York city, has started a town in Cameron county, Pa., on an entirely new and liberal principle. He proposes to give fifteen acres of good land to every permanent settler. The location of this land is on the Smctk port turnpike, twenty miles from the Phila delphia and Erie Railroad, in Cameron County. Good roads are being opened to the railroad, and it is expected that during the summer a good road will be made to bring this "settlement" directly in commun ication with Clearfield. There is no ques tioning such liberality and enterprise. So says the Haraisburg Tattyraph. Nciu 2tt>ticvtisciuents.
