THE ATLANTA SUN, FOR THE WEEK ENDING MAY 8, 1872.
THE ATLANTA SUN
(Concludedfrom First Page.) ■
the reople. They have kept alive the
fusions and resentments of the late civ
il war, to nse them for their own advan
tage.
They have resorted to arbitrary meas
ures, in direct conflict with the organic
law of the land. They have degraded
themselves and the name of their party,
once justly entitled to the confidence of
the Nation, by abuse of executive power,
and unworthy of representing freemen.
They have sought to stifle the voice of
just criticism, to stifle the moral sense of
the people and to subjugate public opin
ion by tyrannical party discipline.
They are striving to maintain tliem-
Belve^xniauthority, for selfish ends, by
an unscrupulous use of the power which
righfuily belongs to the people and
should be employed only in the service
of the country.
Believing that an organization, thus
led and controlled, can no longer be of
service to the best interests of the repub
lic, we have resolved to make, an inde
pendent appeal to the sober judgment,
• conscience and patriotism of the Ameri
can people.
HOW SEW TOHK TAKES IT.
New Yokk, May 3.—Oh reception of
the news of the nomination of Greeley, a
crowd gathered at the Tribune office and
• Greeley was called for and appeared. He
declined to make a speech, but had to
undergo a vast amount of hand-shaking.
A salute of 100 guns was fired in the City
Hall Park in his honor.
The Express says: “The old white coat
will take ajlarge portion of the rank and
file of his party with him.”
As to whether the Democrats will
indorse his nomination, the Express says :
“Greeley has, at times, abused us all
roughly, but wo are a forgiving race of
men and shall do what is best for our
country.”
The Commercial Advertiser says “the
prospects of the Republican party have
brightened, and whether the Democrats
endorse Greeley or not, he is doomed to
be defeated.”
The Evening Post heads the news—
“Grand Failure”—“The Curtain Falls”
“Sad Transformation Scene”—“Reiorm
Surrenders to Monopoly and Centraliza
tion.”
Greeley expressed surprise at his nom
ination, and said he would accept in a
letter.
WHAT PHILADELPHIA THINKS ABOUT IT.
Philadelphia, May 3.—Considerable
crowds were about the newspaper offices
to.-day, to learn the result of the nomi
nations at Cincinnati. There was, how
ever, no excitement, and all parties ap
peared satisfied—the Republicans hav
ing faith in the name of Grant over all
opposition; the Democrats believing the
nomination will carry away a large num
ber of Grant’s adherents.
There is great curosity to know what
ilrj Democrats are going to do.
The Liberals have made no display of
enthusiasm so far, and are probably wait
ing for a return of the leaders, from Cia-
'•cinnati.
Washington, May 4—The nomination,
while it excites mirth in all high political
circles here, seriously changes the pro
gramme of the Democrats. The leaders
were virtually pledged to the Cincinnati
Convention, with Davis as standard bear
er, but now the shrewdest politicians pre
dict
tee: South Carolina, S. A. Pierce;Texas,
A. M. Peas; West Virginia, M. C.
Church; District of Columbia, C.M. Alex
ander; North Carolina, Dan’l R. Goodloe;
Louisiana, H. C. Warmotb; Arkansas,
John Kirkwood; Florida, C. Drew; Ten-
nesssee, J. H. Fowler; Kentucky, L. N.
Burnside; Alabama, Wm. F. Hatchett;
Mississippi, E. Jeffords; Georgia, R.
McWhorter.
The officers of the Committee are
Ethan Allen, of New York, Chairman;
Dan. R. Goodloe, of North Carolina,
Secretary. The Committee^ adjourned
subject to the call of the Chairman.
“but thebe is hobatio, and much of
fense.”
Cincinnati, May 4.—At College Hall
SQUARE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
In view of the interest taken in the
^probable action of the Democratic party,
lie following, from the New York World,
8 telegraphed. It editorially expresses
profound surprise at the result in Cincin
nati, and says: “Adams, who proved by
far the strongest of all the candidates
who had been expected to be strong in
the Convention, might have been
cordially indorsed by the World, as he
would have been cordially supported by
the Democratic party. Greeley can re
ceive no such indorsement, nor has he
-any reason to expect such snppqrt.
The Convention has chosen to renom
inate the most heated and conspicuous
opponent of the Democratic party in the
-country. It called for revenue reform
and it has selected the most zealous of
of Protectionists. This leaves the Dem
cratic party entirely free to await the de
velopments of the immediate future and
-opens the way for a possible Democratic
■ victory.
“The World will reserve its judgment
uutil the meeting of the Democratic Na
tional Convention, to be called at the
next weekly meeting of the National
• Committee in this city, and would re
commend an early date for the assent
•bling of the Convention.”
-greeley’s great gushing gratitude.
Cincinnati, May 4.—The following
telegram from Greeley whs received here
last night, after he bad been informed of
his nomination:
“New Yoek, April 3d,
“Sb Whitelaw Reid—Please tender my
grateful acknowledgements to the mem
bers of the Convention, for the gener
ous confidence they have shown me, and
assure them that I'slmll endeavor to de
serve it. Horace Greeley,
greely and victory.
The address of the National Com
mittee of the American League,
concludes with suggesting the for
mation of Greely Clubs or Leagues,
in every town, hamlet and ward,
in city and country, and that ef
ficient State Committees be formed for
more general direction of and co-opera
tion in the good work. “Then organize
and let our watch-word be ‘Greeley and
Victory.’ ”
This is'signed by Jas. J. Rogers, Chair
man, of New York, and Jno. McCarty,
Secretary, of Missouri
HOW GREELEY IS HERALD-ED.
New York, May 4.—The Herald edi
torially welcomes Greeley into the cam
paign, as a man whom the people will
always respect and honor.
The Herald adds: “Whether we shall
support or oppose him must be decided
by himself. He has received this nomi
nation, and if he avoids certain fallacies
which have embarrassed the usefnlness
of his career, we shaU support him.”
OTHER DEMONSTRATIONS.
Syracuse, N. Y., May 4.—A hundred
guns were fired here in honor of Greeley.
Albany, N. Y., May 4.—One hundred
guns were fired here in honor of Greeley.
Philadelphia, Pa., May 4.—The Age
suggests a straight Democratic ticket.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
Cincinnati, May 4.—The following are
the Southern members of the National
Liberal Republican Executive Commit-
a meeting of Ohio delegates was held,
which was composed of about half the
delegates to the Liberal Conventon, and
which turned ont to be very stormy.
Judge W. B. Sloan, of Port Clinton,
was called to the chair. A large number
of delegates made speeches, some of
which were denunciatory and exciting,
while others counseled moderation and
consideration.
Among the mo^i prominent was Jndge
Hoadly, who was one ot the Committee
on Resolutions. He said Judge Stanley,
temporary President,and John W. Johns,
well as himself, had left the Conven
tion in disgust.
Judge Sloan said he had been origi
nally an Adams man, but there was no
evidence that Greeley and his friends
bad practiced fraud upon the Conven
tion, and, until he had such evidence, he
should adhere to the nomination. He
believed it was for the interest of the
country that there should be a complete
change in the administration of the gov
ernment. He counseled them to be
calm and considerate, and to act deliber
ately, like men.
HOW NOW, HORATIO, YOU TREMBLE! ’*
Thomas E. Powell, of Delaware coun
ty, said he was dissatisfied with the nom
ination, but would support the ticket.
J. Hinton, of Columbiana, said he was
dissatisfied, but urged moderation.
Judge Brinkerhoff said he would not be
made the victim of a choice between two
evils. Men came from New York and
Pennsylvania, who were as much intru
ders as the devil was when he intruded
himself among the sons of men. They
came and out-witted and outnumbered
them. He did not belong to any body
now. He was not yet willing to say he
would not vote for Grant; but he should
not vote for Greeley.
General Jack Casement asked if they
were not all pleased with the platform.
Othe% members answered, “Yes!” “yes!”
He further inquired if Greeley was not
an honest man. What more was wanted.
He (General Casement) had joined this
movement, and torn up the bridge be
hind him. He was going to stick by the
nomination.
‘BUT I AM VERY SORRY, GOOD HOBATIO."
General Burnett said he now felt dis
couraged and disheartened. He didn’t
think the civil service reform had any
thing to hope ior from the hands of such
men. Greeley was honest, progressive
and liberal in his views, yet he was a
man of crotchets. He had no judgement
of men.
“ HORATIO, WHAT A WOUNDED NAME.”
He said Greeley’s political friends in
New York were among the men who did
not enjoy public confidence—who were
really alive to the Tammany corruptions.
Though he was deeply grieved at the re
sult to-day, he thought they ought to
maintain their organization for future
work, and not take steps which they
might regret.
Col. Parrott, of Montgomery county,
said there never was a more shameless
trade made by men than that made by
Gratz Brown, in the Convention.
Mr. Fry, or Clark county, said bargain
and sale were evident. Some members
asked where was the evidence. He re
plied that the evidence was in Gratz
Brown’s speech.
Mr. Ayers, of the 14th District-, urged
them not to judge too harshly, and
counseled moderation.
General Brinkerhoff announced his
resignation ns a member of.the State
Central Committee. He was not willing
to abide the determination of the Con
vention.
General Larue also declined to support
the ticket and resigned his position as a
member of the Central Committee.
NOT THAT I HAVE ANY THING AGAINST
GRANT,
but I do not like his idea of government.
The Philadelphia Convention must meet
yet, and then Democrats will have to act
wisely.
“It is my opinion that the.Liberal tick
et will be withdrawn in September, if
the Democrats make good nominations
in.the meantime. I judge it better for
the party to say or do nothing; that is
better. What we might now say would
probably be perverted, or turned against
us when nominations are made.
The Brooklyn Eagle indorses the Cin
cinnati nomination.”
SOUTH CAROLINA INDORSES,
Charleston, S. C., May 6.—The Con
servative press of South Carolina hearti
ly indorse the Cincinnati ticket and plat
form as acceptj ble to the South.
TRUMBULL CONGRATULATES GREELEY.
New York, May 6.—Senator Trum
bull has addressed the following to Gree
ley:
To Horace Greeley;—Allow me to con
gratulate you on being selected to lead
the movement which, by the will of the
people, aud God’s blessing, is to reform
and pnrify the Government.
Lyman Trumbull.
WHAT THE THUDERER HAS TO SAY.
London, May 6.—The Times says the
nomination of Greeley is farcical,.and his
election impossible; but it kills Grant’s
chance for re-election, and makes a Dem
ocratic nomination certain.
Mr. Wood, a member of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, reported his
exclusion from the State Department,
but it was decided that the House could
take no cognizance of it, and the subject
was dropped.
Mr. Young got through an amendment
to the deficiency bill paying the South
ern census takers of 1S60. This^carries
it back to the Senate.
The following were confirmed to-day:
Andrew J. Evans, Attorney for the West
ern District of Texas; Wm. F. DeKnight,
Collector for the First South Carolina
District; and Edwin P. Goodwin, Post
master at Washington, Louisiana.
§3 WASHINGTON TELEGRAMS.
“ ABE YOU THERE, HORATIO ? ” 9
Judge Spalding, of Cuyhoga, and Mr.
Smith, of Columbiana, cam# to the de
fense of the Convention. Later in his
remarks, Smith said Greeley was among
the first to fight Tammany, whereupon
two persons arose saying that he did not
—he rather defended them.
Judge Hoadly again got the floor,
charging that Tammany had triumphed.
He said he would defeat Greeley and
Brown if he had to vote for Grant to do
it. He was no office-seeker, but he was
after men to punish them who had got
ten their hands into the public treasure.
But he was not in favor of abandoning
their organization. He said they should
remain together, maintaining their or
ganization until the time should arrive
when their principles could prevail.
Several other members spoke for and
against the organization, and, finally,
after a long session, a motion to adjourn
prevailed.
A large number of delegates departed
for their homes last night.
"TO WHAT BASE USES MAY WE RETURN,
HORATIO."
New York, May 4.—The Post, of this
evening, opposes Greeley, in a severe ar
ticle, as lacking courage, consistency and
firmness, and sneers at Greeley’s politi
cal and social companions, which include
Fenton and Morrissey. “With such
manners,” it says, “'the Government
could not be administered with common
decorum; with such associates, -it could
not be administered with common integ
rity.”
“HORATIO SAYS TIS BUT OUR FANTASY.
Detroit, Mich., May 4.—The Free
Press says Greeley is a strong man with
which to demoralize the Republican
party.
St. Louis, Mo., May 4.—The Republi
can heartily indorses the nomination of
Greeley.
New York, May 5.—Auguste Belmont
was interviewed yesterday, and said of
the platform and nominees of the Cin
cinnati Convention; “ This is now but
bombshell. We must wait till we see its
effect on the press, the people, and, in
fiact, on many things. It must develope.
It may be policy to adopt the ticket.
Mr. Greeley, in my ODinion, will rnn
well in the South, but,* as I said before,
it is too soon to judge yet I will do
most any thing to beat this Administra
tion,
Washington, April 30.—There was a
half-hour session of the Cabinet to-day
but notaing important was done. The

It may be regarded as certain that
consequential damages will not be
claimed before the Genev a arbitration
Washington, May 1.—The judgments

vannah. Mobile and New Orleans, do not
amount to more than $2,000,000.
These are made payable in 90 days
from the date of their entry.
Washington, May 1.—One million
three hundred thousand three per cent,
bonds have been called in.
The President has signed the free tea
and coffee bill. It goes into effect July

then in bond.
It is officially announced that this Gov
ernment will not modify its case; but,
should England propose, when she is a
belligerent and the United States a neu
tral, to waive consequential damages on
account of vessels escaping hence, the
United States will waive a money consid
eration in this instance.
Washington, May 2.—The following
letter from Judge Chase is published
this morning:
Wilmington, N. C., May 3.-Capt. F.
M. Wishart, a prominent citizen of Rob
erson County, was killed by the Lowery
outlaws yesterday. This is one of the
most brutal and cowardly murders ever
committed by the band—Wishart having
been decoyed to one of their haunts on
the pretence that they wished to make
terms of surrender, and that he would
not be harmed.
Charleston, S. C., May 3.—The Ku-
Klux cases in the United States Court
were concluded to-day.
A special session of the Circuit Court
was ordered to be held in Columbia next
August—the prisoners, in the meantime,
to be released on their own recognizances
in sums ranging from $1,000 to $10,000,
Washington, May 5.—There is no
change in the position of the Alabama
claims since the recent semi-official pub
lication, in which it is said the claims for
indirect damages have not been and will
not be withdrawn. This Government
has not;in its statement, or counter-state
ment, asked the tribunal of arbitrators
to draw any distinction between the two
claims, for direct and indirect damages,
but both have been submitted together,
in the hope that the tribunal will exer
cise the power conferred upon it,to award
sum in gross, to be paid by Great
Britain to the United States.
The suggestion that we would not ask
the tribunal for any moneyed considers
tion for indirect damages, provided Great
Britain would not claim compensation
for damages, under like circumstances,
was discussed by prominent gentlemen
of both countries, before the intimation
was made to Great Britain that we would
accept it, as an easy and satisfactory solu
tion of the present difficulty; but it ap
pears, from conversation in prominent
circles, that Great Britain does not deem
it necessary to officially make the decla
ration, or to enter into such a stipulation,
for the reason that she has never admit
ted the principle of claims for indirect
damages, as between nations, and ad
heres to her position on the question as
heretofore expressed.
Washington, May 6.—Secretary Belk
nap has returned.
The Committee on Elections has
agreed unanimously to report in favor

large market town of South Russia, last

lice with the Easter amusements of the
people. The fire engines were brought
out to disperse the crowd by throwing
