THE ATf ANT A WFTJTCT V SFN, FOR THE WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 4, 1872-
iNlliW8
New York, November 30. —The New
York Tribune says: “The melancholy
death of the editor and founder of the
Tribune, though for a few days it has
been expected by his family and intimate
friends, falls upon us with all the ohock
of a Midden calamity. He had reached,
indeed, a ripe old ag^, but time had not
laid its withering touch upj»n him. His
splendid constitution easily bore tbe
strain of enormous labor; his mind was
as fresh and strong and suggestive as in
the prime of life; bis generous impulses
were uneqnaled by disheartening expe
rience through tbe trying campaign,
wLich has jnst closed; his physical vigor,
his tact, bia intellectual activity, sur
passed even those who knew him best,
and seemed to promise many years of
usefulness. It is certain that no history
of the moat critical period in our national
life can bo written, in which Greeley
shall not be a conspicuous figure, but the
noblest career in his eyo wua that which
is given up to other’s wants. The sne-
ocssfnl life was that which is worn out
conflict with wrong ai d woe. The only
ambition worth following was tne ambi
tion to alleviate hanger and misery and
leave the world a little better than he
found it. That he had done it, was the
oonsolation wnich brightened bis last
days and asmred him ne had notlivedin
tip. It is not for ns, in the first hour of
•nr loss, to paint his cnaracter or cata
logue his virtue. Although for several
months we have missed the inspiration
of his presence and guidance of hi'' wise
counsel, his spirit has never ceased to
animate those chosen to continue his
works, and the close bond of sympathy
between the chief and his assistants has
never been broken. We leave b is praises
to the poor, whom he succored; to the
lowly whom he lifted up; to the slave
whoso back he saved from the lash; to
the oppressed whose wrongs he made his
own.”
Tbe Herald, in its editorial to-morrow
on Mr. Greeley, says : ** He has, in a
mistaken aspiration for a higher field of
nsrfninesd and power and glory than
jonmulism, fallen a sacrifice to his politi
cal ambition. He had tailed to appre
ciate the commanding position which he
bad secured as a leading American jour
nalist, and leaving it to pursue the
iqnis fatuua of the Presidency, he
dropped the substance for the shadow of
a great distinction. O'herwise the his
tory and the enduring rewards of Mr.
Greeley’s industrious and useful career
are full of enoouragemoct to young men
who, without capital, personal influence
or powerful friends, have the battle of
life before them.”

New York, November 30.—The ac
counts publi**"hod of Mr. Greeley’s last
moments, represent him to have been
couscions daring the day, as usual, in
cases of mflamatiou of the brain. His
physical suflenng was extremely Blight,
but increased, and the morbid action of
the mind was evident from exterior man
ifestations. He was asked: "Do you
know that you are dying?” Without a
tremor or emotion, he answered: "Yes.”
Again, wnen ashed if he recognized Mr.
Beid, he looked up with immediate re
cognition, lifting his hand, grasped Mr.
Reid’s faintly, and said uistinctly: "Yes.”
His last words were: "It is done.” The
face hardly changed, only settling into a
look of perfect peace.

to drive the Legislature from the Capi
tol, the excitement subsided somewhat.
The Legislature at the Capitol passed
a bill, and sent it to Gov. Lewis, but he
refused to receive it. A joint resolution

quorum.

let us ask only for peace, for protection
against vagabond? and scoundrels, or at
least, that the Government will allow us
fair piay, and maintain the supremacy
of the law and order. Oar straggle has
not been for men, but for safety, law and
civilization.

protested against the vote of yesterday,
on tue resolution of minister Du Favre,
bemg recorded, because several of the
deputies were absent, and be aid not be
lieve the result; was a fair expression of
the will of the Assembly.
M. Balbie said he considered that the
vot-„ eloquently demonstrated on which
side a ccnservative policy could be
found.
This remark gave r.se to great excite
ment in tne chamber. Many deputies
protested against the language of Bal
bie, aud reoriminutiuns passed backward
aud forward between the opposing par
ties.
A Deputy from Paris questioned the

forth,” he said, neither Orleamsts, Bona
partists, nor Legitimists, will exi**-; bat
all will unite to arrest the fatal descent
of the ccnntiy.” He continued in/i vio
lent strain, and concluded by moving a
resolution declaring that the municipal
councils had violated tne laws of the
country, and that Lefranc, in receiving
addresses for the President, had also
failed to observe them. Amid such ex
citement, the Assembly proceeded to
vote on the motion, aud it was approved
by four hundred and five yeas, against
twenty-nine nays. The result adduced
great sensation in the Chambers, and
the sitting was immediately brought to a
close.
Throughout the entire debate party
feeling was inflamed to its highest pitch
The gloomiest impressions prevailed this
evening in Pans. It is believed that it
will be impossible for President Thiers
to govern the country under the present
circnmstances. The monarchists declsre
that they will oppose Thiers to the bitter
end, unless he disavows all responsibility
for the cause of Gambetta.

Dkbt Statement.—Dt-crea.se of the
debt, one ana one-eighth million: cbin
in Treasury, sixty-nine and one-half mil
lion; carrency, ten and one-eighth mil
lion.
Washington, Dec. 2.—The Treasury
report says that the necessity exists for a
new issue of national bank notes. The
Secretary exonorates Assistant Treasurer
Hillhonse from neglect of duty io the
Stamp Division from the Assistant Treas
ury of New York. The Secretary again
recommends the passage of a bill to
amend and consolidate the navigation
and onstoms of collection laws of the
United States, as the leading pursuits of
the country are now stronger than ever
before, aud in possession of adequate
capital and a supply of intelligent labor
ers. There may be a moderate redaction
from time to time in tbe rate of duties,
the diminishing expenses of the Govern
ment shall permit, withont either alarm
ing capital or injuring labor.
He says the circulation of the banks
should be fixed and limited, aud that
power to change the volume of paper in
circulation within the limits established
by law should remain in the Treasury
Department. A degree of flexibility in
the volume of currency s essential for
two reasons—first, tue tusiness of the
Department cannot be transacted prop
erly if a limit is fixed, and the power to
raise the cironlntion above or xedace it
below that limit is denied. Seoondly,
there is a necessity every antnmn for
moving the crops without delay from the
South and West to the seaboard, that
they may be iu hand for export and
consumption os wanted. The problem
is to find a way of increasing the curren
cy, for moving the crops and diminish
ing it at once, when that work is done, this
is a necessary work, and inasmuch as it
cannot be confided to the banks. The
power should be reposed in the Treas
ury Department believing that tbe conn
try is not prepared to sustain the policy
of contraction. Tbe Secretary cousid
era the means by which the value of our
currenoy may be improved. Tbe basis
of the policy of improvements must be
found in a sturdy refusal to add to the
paper in circulation, until it is of the
same value essentially as coin, this being
accepted as the settled purpose of tbe
conntry, there can be no permanent in
crease of tbe difference between paper
aud coin, and an opportunity will be
given for the inference of natural causes
tending upon the whole to abetter finan
cial condition. All legislation limited
in its operation, the paper issue
of the government, whether bear
ing interest or not, and which in its
effects shall tend to diminish the market
value of coin, will be found, upon analy
sis, to contain a plan for c .ntracting the
volume of paper currency, and all legis
lation so limited, which does not con
tain such a plan, will prove ineffectual,
The Secretary, without, proceeding to
the discussion of the general subject ot
resuming specie payments, thinks ad
will have been gained that is of value
when the Treasury shall be prepared to
pay the demand notes of the Govern
ment-, and the banks shall be prepared
to pay their notes either in com or legal
tender notes, and then our got d fortune
will clearly appear in this, that our paner
currency is not exclusively of national
bank notes, nor exclusively of United
States notes.
Raleigh, December 2.—The Conserva

New York, December 2.—The fol
lowing letter is issued by the National
Democratic Committee:
Hd Qrs. National Dem. Com.,
New York, Deo. 2,1872.
The National Democratic Committee
do not regard it as within the scope of
the authority delegated to them, to ad
vise the electors of toe several States,
who favored the election of its candidates
nominated at the Baltimore Convention,
as to the o-.-urse which they shall pursue
in view of the death of Horace Greeley,
as such an event was unprovided for b?
the action of the convention. The suc
ceeding conventions will, without doubt,
make provisions for a similar contingen
cy, and as no practical result can follow
the establishment of such a precedent
by the committee, it is deemed inadvis
able that tuis committee should make
anv recommendations to electors.

Vew Orleans, December 2.—The

Dr. E. H. Myers, President of the Wesleyan Ite-
mile College, was introduced and addressed tho
Conference, m his address the reverend gentle
man made allusion to hi}' former connection with
this Conference; since 1841 has he been connected,
anl in sympathy with the church and conferences
in the State of Georgia. The nature of hiswork is
such as to render it necessary for him to leave It
when he oomes to mingle among hie
brethren of tho Conference. Hit work and
labor is to educate tho daughters ot
the church to become members of tho church. Ba
appealed to the past rocord of the Wesleyan Femato
College—embracing in the last 30 odd years, some
600 graduates—for proof of Its power as ono of tho -
great religious institutions of the land. Bishop
Pieroe addressed tho Conference on the airnation ot
Emory College, statiDg, “that It was a necessity to
the Conference for Emory to bo rebuilt; the old
building was condemned as unsafe, aud has been
demolished. He was requested to a elicit the mean*
for rebuilding it; ho agreed to do ao, and one of
his plans was, that no wanted the indorsement ef
this Conference by a donation of ono thousand do;«
lara. Ho expected to make the same request of tha
South Georgia Conference. Armed with this in
dorsement ho would have no fears in raising a suf
ficient fnnd to fiuisn it up. Ono of tho features of
the institution-was the free tuition of sons of mem
bers of tho Conference. Many had received tho
benefit of this privilege, and the future would
still offer these advantages to others.” The roll
was caUed and verb us amount- given, amounting
to six hundred and fifty dollars. Ab quite a number
of tho members were absent, It was thought the
amount called ior could bo easily raised.
After distributing the Conference fund raised for
tho benefit of Snperanuated ministers, widows and
orphans, etc., Conference adjourned till to-morrow
at the usual hour.
