SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1873.
rclcct ctlrg.
Laal weak we published what the popular
poet, John It. tates, had to say about "The
Old Mae tn the Stylish Church," and now we
show what he ha to say about
The Old Man lu the Modr-l Church.
Well, wife, I've fouud the model church I I wor
shipped there to-day I
It made mo think of good old tlmee before tny
bend was gray.
Tb minHIn' house was fixud up more than It was
years ago,
But then I felt when I went In it wasn't built for
show.
The sexton didiit soiit tnc away buck by the door
He knew thnt I Was old and deaf, as well as old
and poor)
He must have been a Christian, for he led uie
through
The long aisle of that crowded church to Bud a
pluco and pew.
I wish you'd heard that slngln', It had the old
limo rinir, '
The prencher snld, with trumpet voice, "Let all
the people sing !"
The tone was Coronation, and the music upward
rolled,
Till I thought I heard tho nugels striking all
their harp, of gold.
My dcafnesa seemed to melt away ; my spirit
caught the tire i
I joined my feeble, trembling volco with that mo-
lodioua choir,
And snug a in tny youthful days, "Let unguis
prostrate full ;
Bring forth the royal diadem, aud crown him
Lord of at!."
I tell you, wife, it did me good to sing that hymn
once more j
I felt like some wrecked mariner who gets a
glimpse of shore ;
I almof t wanted to lay down this weather-beaten
form,
Aud anchor In the blessed port forever from the
storm.
The preaihln' ! Well, I can't Just tell all tbe
preiicher said ;
I know it wasn't written ( I'know it wasn't read,
He hadn't time to read it, for the lightnln' of his
eye
Went flashing 'long from pew to pew, nor passed
a slnuer by.
The sermon wasn't Oowerv, twus simple goepel
truth ;
It tilted poor old lauu like tne ; it fitted hopeful
youth.
'Twas tull of consolation for weary hearts that
hired ;
'Twas full of Invitations, to ChrM and not to
creed.
The preacher made sin hideous, In Gentiles iind
in Jew ;
He shut the gulden sentences down lu the fii:e.-t
lews.
And though I enn't set Tery well I saw the
fulling tear
That told me hull was eomeways off, and heaven
very ne:ir.
How swift the golden moment fled within that
holy pluce
How brightly beamed the light of heaven from
every happy face.
Again I louged for thxt sweet time when frieud
shall meet with friend. 1
"Where congregations ne'er break up, and Bub-
batbs have uo'wid.."
I hope to meet that minister that congregation
loo
In that dear home beyond ibe stars that shine
from heaven's blue.
I donbl not I'll reiuuiuber, kevoud life's evening
gray,
Th happy hour of worship In that model church
to-day.
Dear wife, the light will soon be fought the vic
tory be won ;
Tb shiiiia' goal if jurt ahead j the ruec is near
ly ruu,
O'er the river we are ueaiiu' they urc tlironyiu'
to the shore
To shout our safu arrival a here the weary weep
no more.

v
Mr. Orrclry'i. Willi
Tho following aro tho remarks of Mr.
Williams, tho couusel for the executors of
Mr. Greeley's will of 1871, before ihe Sur
rogate iu reply to the statements of coun
sel and others in support of the will of 187:2:
Mr. Williams It is known to tho Court
as well as to uiy friends on the other side
that the executors of Mr. Greeley's will
have made no reply to the attack made on
Us, nor have they uttered a word in self
defence. Their idea was that the testimony
in the case would be the best vindication,
if such a word can ho used. These remarks
that have been made on the other side have
this tendency, aud 1 will nol say this pur
pose, as saying: "Our will of 1872 is riyht.
It is dear to the childteu of the deceased,
and was dear to the deceased while he
lived, but being encouraged by a set of
men who are slions aud determined, while
we are weak and feeble, we iu feeble health
yield. In short, we back down from a
right, true and Htroug poaitluu because we
don't sec lit to make developments touch
ing the character of the deceased."
Now, sir, 1 entertain a ditlereiil opinion
ou all this matter. In the 11 rat place. I be
lieve there is no fact to be devt loed iu this
cae, if it got to the very lasl degree to
which it can go, which will not redound to
the credit and lame of Horace Greeley. It
is ten thousand limes belter, iu my judg
ment, for his lame that the truih aliould be
kuowntolhu public than that the public
should rent upon the iiinntiieiable false
hoods which have bceu iiul lorth during the
last weeks of his life. During the last six
Weeks of his life we are a bio to show that
he was not only nut iu a lit state to make a
will, but that his mind was irretrievably
lost. For six or ilijlit days before his
death he marched steadily downward,
growing feebler aud leebler. During this
time he was in charge of two atrong men,
for two men were ouly adequate to retain
hi in wilhiu projier limits. A case of acule
mania of the cxtremest kind visited him
during the last eiht days of Ids life. His
will, executed at the lust hour of thatex
Itteuce, if it could be called an execution,
in which he says, "it is uot my will," al
though when he was subsequently asked.
"Is this the will you wrote i"' he feebly au
wered, "Yes." All that last scene ra
only at a time wheu he was less capable of
making a will than he was at any former
period. Now, sir, 1 thiuk the elli-ct of
these lemarks has been to give the public
the idea that we are overciming a young
lady who has a rilit to her falher's wealth.
I want to repel that by one or two remarks.
In the first place, we are prepared to show
not ouly insauily, but I am sale iu saying,
that aside from the question of insanity,
we can destroy that will ou the ground of
fraud and conspiracy. It only waits to be
nailed out, and wheu they say they recede
from a will that was Horace Greeley's, be
cause they do not want development
made, I answer that it will redound to
Mr. Greeley' credit, and the development
will show that be who wa the victim of
every kind of conspiracy Id bi life, was
tbarictim of dm at bis doalb, tma more
grievous than any other. Now, air, I feci
this, aud 1 feel it right to say, that tho ex
ecutors iu this matter have felt it to be not
only a duty, but a duty which it would bo
criminal to neglect had they permitted tho
will of 1872 to go upon the records. Dis
inheriting his youngest aud best-beloved
daughter, nol ouly marking her for all time
as the disinherited child of a great and il
lustrious man, and placing upon hur brow
marks of cougenial imbecility, not only by
showing thnt she was incapable of taking
euro ul her property duriug her minority.
but during her majority also, for that will
places her uuder the same guardianship
uuw, under the age of 15. as at the Auc of
187U. .Such a will as that would ruilect i
mure dishonor upon the character of Mr.
Greeley than every act of his lite could ro
lled, if the worst were kuowu. from his
cradle to his grave. Why, sir, that man
saw lit to give to the Children's Aid (so
ciety SIO.UUO for the bene lit of oi phaus.
Why should he nol.be iermillcd to do so ?
lie believed iu his life-lime, aud expressed
to the Treasurer of the Children's Aid So
ciety, Hut VIO.UOO was enough for his
daughter. A short lime before his death, or
betoie his mental dcraugeme.ut, he entered ,

expressed himself satisfied wilh it. Why,
it has beeu said ot him by his enemies that
iu his laal days he fell a n ay trom the high
character he bad maintained. If any evi
dence of Unit could be produced, the most
conclusive, I apprehend, would be adduced
from this will ol 1872. It represents him as
Living a farm, the real property of bis
brother, to his eldest daughter. If Mr.
(j ret: ley could be guilty of that in his sauo
moiueuia, the worst said of him by his po
litical enemies might well enough be true.
But for two mouths before bis death, he
spoke of his widowed sister wilh the deep
est emotion. He held the liile to bis
brother's estate, fearing that he might
sjitiud it, fur hu was an easy-goin mau.

similar to these: "We huve nol relinquish

had regard for thn orphans of others as
well as fur the orphans of himclf. He
saw lit to give that money, and the Society
considered they had do legal right to re
fuse to lake it, no moral right to lake it,
and it would be wrong to refuse it. It is
an insnll," they say, "which wu could not
oiler t j him Jiving ; how then can we lo

I bclice Mr. Greely's property ihe two
estates are worth 200,800. Having the
power to show that the will is a conspiracy,
aud having it iu our power to overwhelm
them, we do uul think it right for them to
recede, telliug the tiewspaiers all over the
country : "(Jh, we were pour orphan girls,
aud the genllemeu ou the other side were
slrong men, and we were com (Hilled to
yield to superior force." The imputation
is cast u ion us that we bullied them out of
the w ill. No, you mill tie one ot our hands
and lour out ot the live lingers ou Ihe other,
aud we will bent you iu the estimation of all
mankind ou this controversy, if you no on.
We rejiel your insinuations. We say that
was not his will. It was the child of con
spiracy, executed at a moment wheu t tie
chamber of sickurss Should have beeu sa
cred from the piulanation of the men to ex
ecute that will. We characterize Dial
transaction of disturbing ihu chamber ot a
dyiu man iu language the severest wu
could use. We repel Ihe -charge. A will
of that kind Would have reflected elerual
disgrace.
Now, if they decline to go ou. we must
accept the situation. Mr. Greely's retn
liuns were not ouly great, but lliey were
sublime. Never lived in tne history of
mankind so ia-ifcct au ideal of a husband.
Ilia questiou was uot "What my wife is,
but wlial dots it become me lo be the hus

should see til to censure us they cau kuo.v
the fuels iu this case. Should the case go
ou they will know these tacts. As il can
not guou they will tn.t know the facts, ex
cept as 1 have hiuled them now. lu ihe
testimony which we have given, iu so far as
it has borue upou individuals, il has only
beeu given for the purpose of showing in
sauily aud delusion ; that he was under a
delusion wheu he made the will, wheu he
kpokuofhie lost proierly, when he spoku
oi his own ruin, uud when he said the great
T'uiiiUNK was going lo ruin. It was the
last tiling iu the world he would have ut
tered had he not been insane. We do not
see ihat there is any more disgrace in dy
ing from iusauily than from any other dis
ease. No! Mr. Greeely's friends feel that
the development iu this case will redound
to his credit every word to his credit.
That he was insane fur six weeks be
fore his death, we kuow, aud no one cau
overwhelm the truth on that point. It is
placed beyond all doubt, aud that insanity
was known ; aud 1 am sorry to say it was
known to those who had a hand in procur
ing the execution of that will. If the case
went on the public would see some light.
As they recede 1 withhold the story.

A Riouteouu Veto. The country has
just bad another evidence that in President
Grant the iicopla have a safe and reliable
public servant, who will protect their Inter
ests and the treasury against the raid of
Southern claimants, and inconsiderate
legislation. Au act was snakod through
Congress appropriating the sum of $18,
000 lo the East Tennessee University, ou
accouitofa claim made for damages to
that institution sustained during the war.
This bill the President promptly Vetoed,
giving as his reason thnt while ho deeply
sympathized wilh all who suite red on ac
count of tho war, he is not willing to es
tablish the precedent that tho United State
government is liable for the ravages of the
war. Should such a precedent to estab
lished there would be tin end lo the claims
that would be presented. The people
could not under the present taxation put
sufficient money in the treasury to pay
these Southern war claims.
This veto bv the President, together with
the defeat before the IIoua Ways and
Means Committee of the bill for refunding
the cotton tax. it is honed will nut au
end, al least for a time, to tho numerous
Hcliemes fur plundering ihe National Trva- !
sury for the bent (it of those who waged a !
war against the government, and new ask!
to be paid for dainngacs sustained iu their j
unholy efforts to destroy tho Union. It is ;
to be hoa:d that Congress will not give .
any further encouragement to these South-1
eru claimants by countenancing their
claims for damages. It is wrong to thus
keep alive a hope of ultiniaiecouipcnsation
for damages sustained by the wnr. Let ;
the Southern people understand once and
forever that the doors of tho United States
Treasury are closed and barred agaiust
their claims. The people can congratulate '
themselves that at lean for four years there ,
will be a mau in the Presidential chair who
has set his foot down firmly iu opposiliou
to all such claims. ficrunton ircriv.&iiain.

About Aduiu
We havn always believed in Adam. Wo
have 1 oked upon as oue to wlinnt man
kind has been under (iccu'.iar obligations.
Standing by the side of Eve as U10 first mar
ried man, dived in h sumptuous bear
skin, he appears to us wu look backward
through tho dun vista of the cenUuv.s up
on him as a persuti indisjxT.slblu lo the fu
ture of his race. Certain philosopher
would try lo make us believe that, that
majestic figure is a monkey ; and some
times the results of human events, elec
tions for instance, seen tinaccotiulalile,
except on the Darwinian hypothesis. Hut
we hold that the man who would rtrtect
upon the dear departed In such an ungrate
ful way doe not deserve the aympathiea
of his kind ; as for ourselves, we intend to
tiail nut fig leaf to tbe mast and cliug to the
old Adam. Whtfttro knew about fartimur
served him In good stead in the hour of
ilissappuinlmenl, and, though overmuch
giveu to lying iu tvie sliadi- and munching
apples, we kuow that when hu fouud him
self ono morning on the wrong side of a
certain garden gate hu indulged in uo un
manly repiuings he neither whimpered
over his fate nor made faces and shook hi
fistat the gunrdian of the forfeited premises',
but diligently set himself to wo. k to develop
the ordinary crab Into tho New York pip
pin.
There aro certain time whsti wc like td
withdraw our minds from tho tdrruoi! of
the present At'e and dwell upon the charac
ter of this graud old patriarch. Sonic
time, even when our desk may hu covered
wilh hat accounts lot on the ckcliou, we
pet to thinking on Adam aud don't care
how big the liberal majority is iu Ncr
York. Adam was never troubled about
election bets, or anything else, except tho
urafl in the orchard, lie bad no mother-in-law,
and his wife never bothered hitn
wilh her milliner's bill. Ho had a tiaiui.il
antipathy to snakes, but he was nsver Wor
ried over missing shirt buttons.
He ucver supported uu unsuccessful can
didate for President atld saw his hopes for
a seal in the cabinet grow dimmer and
diinn cr as the reports came in. Nor were
hlii ears deafened and his feelings hurt by
the booming of the cnuuoil of the radical
parly over nt New Albany. Neither did
lie recieve the ironical and malicious con
gratulations of his neighbor ihe morning
after the election 011 tho fortitude wilh
which he buro up under nd verso new..
His eyes were never attended by tho crow
ing roosters and llauntlhg banners of his
opponents ; for barring his ono unlortu
nato speculation in fruit undertaken at.
tho instance of his sleeping partner wheu
the devil made a corner in apples, his liiu
was eminently a success.
To be sure, he hnd never had the proud
consciousness of having e.stahlisln'sl prin.
siples that ho knew would ultimately win
in spite of the iniluetiee of a hostile ad-,
ministration that for a while brought ine
vitable defeat upon him; nor did he have
the pleasure of seeing the old party line
of ignorance nud prejudice broken intrt
fragments and disipenring before his
vigorous nssaults ; bui as hu sat upou tho
hills facing the sunset, iu the happy lituo
before his eldest boy begau to be fast and
run around with siraugu women front tL
land of Nod, ln could watch his shooting
