THE EXPOSITOR
WAYNEBBORO’, GKA-.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9. 1872.
GRANT ELECTED
As we feared, the country —North—
has declared for Mr. Grant. We were
never a very zealous “libcralist;” in fact,
we bad but a small amount of confidence,
if aoy, in the Liberal-Republican move
ment, and were among tl*e “ last to fall
into line” of tbe “ anything to beat
Grant” — taking Mr. Gukrlky as the
dernier resort. We do not mean to im
ply, because Mr. Greeley was beaten,
that we arc sorry for what we did for
the. principles he represented, as sei
forth by the Cincinnati platform. By no
means. But, then, wo feel humiliated
by tbe shabby trick of the so-called re
formers of his section, who, after all their
boastful pretensions and protestations,
have turned again as the “sow to her
mire,” or a “dog to his vomit.” And,
really, in the language of someone (who
ought to be immortalized) “we feel dog-
bit!”
We opposed the bull-pup fancier in
’6B, recently, and now; and, moreover,
expect always to be on the side “where
he is not”—and intend to fight on this
as long as ho won't “let us
have peace.”
But the election is over, and there is
no help for the result. The South, as ever
in tbe past, has proved true —therefore,
for tbe present state of affairs, and the
continuance in office of the recently
made L.' L. D. (which dop’t mean Long
Live Democracy), Yankeedoodledum is*
alone responsible.
Look to your household gods! Let us,
for the present,be content with good gov
ernment within the boundcry lines of our
own loved State, and Grant may run
the big machine to suit himself — and
relations—if he will only “ let us alone.'"
Thb Augean stables of this glorious
Republic remain uncleansed; and things
about tbe “head-centre,” are still horse
txU.
A Nick Place for White Folks.
—A Radical Judge at Washington re
eently, fined a white restaurateur nam
ed Freund SIOO for refusing to wait on
a negro who came into Freund’s saloon,
and demanded some ice cream. The ne
gro it was proved had his hat on and was
smoking a cigar, and otherwise making
himself as disgustingly disagreeable as
possible ; but then he was of the sacred
color, and that made all the difference.
The effect of this decision is to de
clare that white men in that city who
have fitted up saloons mainly for ladies
are obliged to allow negroes, without
reference to condition or character, to
sit at their table and be waited upou by
white girls where they are employed as
waitresses.
Peace Hangs on a Slender Thread.
—The London Standard thinks that
the peace of Europe rests upon a very
questionable footing. There is not a
corner of the continent which is not
armed to the teeth. M. Thiers oponly
boasts that he possesses an incomparable
army, and all the elements of France—
Radicals, Orleanits, Legitimists, and
Imperialists—are united upon the ne-
obtaining revenge upon Ger
many as soon practicable. Neither
Prince Bismarck nor Count Andrassy,
the Austrian premier, believes that
peace will continue, and the meeting
of the .Emperors at Berlin was due
to the desire on the part of the high
contracting powers interested to come
to an understanding upon this sub
ject. Even Servia claims that she can
put 300,000 men into the field, and
while Italy is fortifying Mor.te Mario,
on the Italian side of the Mount Cenis
tunnel, to guard against the French and
military preparations at Modane on the
French side of the Alps, Spain is urg
ing a demand upon England for the
possession of Gibraltar. Involved in
these complications, also, is the ques
tion of the Pope and Prussia, introduc
ing into the troubled arena of European
politics religious dissensions.
v -*■
There was quite a sceue the other
day at Lemberg, in Posen. A Polish
nobleman with the execrable patrony
mic of Wostratzky, in the course of a
historical lecture ventured to disparage
the memory of Washington, whereupon
an American present named Werner,
interrupted the speaker, and called him
a liar. The result was a fight, in which
the meeting broke up in confusiou.
[From the N. Y. Sun, 9th imt.]
MRS. GREELEY’S FUNERAL.
A Memorable Ceremony in Dr. Cha
pin's Church.
Yesterday the remains of Mrs. Hor
ace Greeley were buried in Greenwood
Cemetery. The few friends who were
congregated at the house of Mr. Alvin
J. Johnson, 3‘-3 West Fifty-seventh
street, took a last view of the body, and
then withdrew to allow the stricken
husband and motherless daughter to
look upon the dead alone.
A few minutes before noon the coffin
was closed and deposited in the hearse,
and the ball-bearers, eight in number,
preceded it iu four carriages. Follow
ing tbe hearse, Mr. Greeley, his two
daughters and Aunty Lam.son, were in a
carriage, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Cleve
land in another, Mr. und Mrs. Sam
uel Sinclair in another, and a few of
the most intimate friends of the family
followed in the few coaches which the
undertaker had been able to secure. The
cortege moved.down Fifty-seventh stn et
to Fifth avenuq, and arrived at the
Church of the Divine Paternity, Forty
Fifth street and Fifth avenue, at half
past twelve.
TIIE PALL-BEARERS.
Then the pall-bearers, Messrs. John
E. 'Williams, Augustus Schell, Waldo
Hutchins, Dr. Edward Bayard, Alvin
J. Johnson, Richard A. Manning,
Marcus Spring and Isaiah Chamberlain,
alighted from their carriages, and stood
on the sidewalk in two lines, between
which the coffin was borne up tbe steps
and into ibe church. The casket was
a remarkably handsome one of walnut,
covered with black cloth, with silver
mouldings and eight chased silver ban
dies. On the lid was a massive silver
plate, with the simple inscription,
MARY Y. C. GREELEY. \
The coffin was covered with wreaths
and crosses of immortelles aud exotics.
As it was borne up the main aisle and
placed iuside the chancel ou a catafalque
over which was thrown a black vel
vet pall, which swept the floor aud was
strewn with numerous Sowers, Mr.
Greeley and the other members the of
the family joined in the solemn proces
sion. The organ pealed forth Beetho
ven’s “Funeral March,” and then the
choir—a grand quartette —sang Han
del's Anthem, “Unveil thy bosom, Faith
ful Grave.”
At this time the church was crowded
almost to suffocation. Every available
seat was taken, and several hundred
ladies and gentlemen were forced te
stand throughout the whole ceremony.
Among the congregation were ex-Gov
ernor P. O. Hibert of Louisiana, cx-
Judgo Edwards, P. T. Barnmn. Geue
cral John Cochrane, Etliau Allen, S. J.
Tilden, George Hoffman, John L. Hoyt
D. TANARUS, Marshall, the Count Johannes,
and £.ll the editors and employees of
the Iribune , dressed iu the deepest
mourning. The multitude outside the
church was as great as iusido, and it
required the aid of Sergeaut Schultz
and a platoon of police to keep them
back. Many more were unable to ob
tain admission than were in the church,
and when Dr. Chapin began reading
passages selected from the sacred Scrip
tures everything was painfully still,
and naught else could be heard but the
minister's voice and the sobs of the fe
male mourners. Then Dr. Chapin read
the fifteenth chapter of the First Corin
thians, relating to Christ’s resurrection.
A CONGREGATION IN TEARS.]
During the address and prayer the
Misses Ida and Gabriollo wept aloud,
their father and friends joined their
tears with those of the motherless girls,
and when the miuistcr ceased speaking
there was hardly a diy eye in the house
men and women were all weeping.
The choir sang Zerner’s hymn, “They
are not lost but gone before.” Then
the benediction was pronounced, and
the remains were again plaoed in the
hearse, to be borne to Greenwood Ceme
tery.
As the immense congregation moved
out of the church, completely blocking
up Fifth aveuuo, it was estimated that
there were at least ten thousand persons
waiting to get a glimpse of the coffin
and funeral procession more then one
half Of whom had been unable to obtain
admission to the church.
Only the iro*t intimate frionds of
the family accompanied the remains to
G'xenwood, where a short funeral ser
vice w ! 1 by Rev. Dr. Schweitzer,
jrd : e e: ket was lowered into ti e
grave.
The Convention of Governors.
The Convention of Southern and
Western Governors, called by Gover
nor Smith to meet in Atlanta on the
10th of November in the interest of tho
Great Western canal, that is to unite
by water the West and South, promises
i to bo ono of the most important and
| interesting gatherings of the day. Wo
are informed that the Chief Executives
of twenty four States have been invited
and arc expected.
The convocation of such a body of
Governors, representing nearly two
tbirds of the States of the Union, with
their millions of people and money, will
be an episode in the history of the coun
try. It will be an event worthy of his
toric record.
Nor will it bo what, lias been so com
mon; an ordinary political assemblage,
but a meeting for a great business en
terprise, that will revolutionize matters
in the South.. The importance and
effect of this enterprise cannot be esti
mated. It will place the granaries of
the great West literally, in the grasp of
the South. It will make Georgia the
supreme outlet for the produce of the
Mississippi Valley.
Governor Smith has taken hold of
the enterprise in dead earnest. Atlan
ta is making preparations to entertain
tho distinguished body of gubernatorial
guests in suitablo style. Proper com
mittees of leading citizens are being
appointed. The Governors will be
dined aud balled. The details will
soon be given.
Altogether the occasion promises to
be one of the most remarkable and in
teresting in the annals of our growing
city. —Atlanta Constitution.

Shooting of Deputy Sheriff A. H. Burch
by Dr. J. C. Cook
We are indeed glad to learn that
Capt. A. H. Burch, the Deputy Sheriff
and brother of the Sheriff of Russell
county, Alabama, is not dead, as report
ed late Saturday night, and has a fair
chance of recovery. He was shot four
times, two pistol shots entering the hip
from behind, one in the arm and one in
the thigh—all serious flesh wounds. It
was thought yesterday morning he
would recover slowly from his wounds.
The following, we hear from listeners
is his statement :
A warrant was placed in his hands
for the arrest of Dr. J. Carter Cook,
son of Mr. James Cook, one of the
most prosperous and respectable citizens
in Columbus. The Doctor is a young
man aud is running a farm in llussell
county, Alabama. The affidavit charg
ed him with an assault with attempt to
kill, and the burning of a negro’s house
on his (Cook’s) premises. Capt. Burch
is a quiet, cool, determined man, but
likes to do everything in a gentlemanly
manner. He rode to Cook’s place in
his buggy, reaching there at 1 p. m.
lie inquired if the Doctor’s wife was
at home, not wishing to disturb her,
and received a negative answer. He
then met the Doctor, showing him the
warrant and told him it was his duty
to arrest him, but allowed him perfect
liberty. The Doctor invited him to
dinner. Burch accepted, aud unbuck
ling his pistol, laid it on the table. The
Doctor possessed himself of the wcapou
and told Bnrch if he did not leave, he
would kill him in fl ve minutes. Burch
left, saying he was only fulfilling his
duty. Cook then had the advantage,
but he would return with a posse.
Burch had proceeded some three
miles from Cook’s house on his way to
Scale, when he was overtaken by Cook,
who shot him in the manner discribcd,
with Burch’s own pistol.
Wo understood Cook was in the city
early Sunday. • His friends say he has
been advised to toll nothing of the cir
cumstances. We give what we deem
the bsst information.
Capt. Burch is a brother of Mrs.
Musgrovc and Mrs Malone, of this
city.
The affair is greatly regretted by all.
Tho Baltimore Sun, commenting
upon the arbitrary and offensive conduct
of government officials in New York,
purporting to be authorized by the pro
visions of the enforcement act, comes
(O the conclusion that tho tendency of
legislation is to revive Alexander Ham
ilton’s favoritcplan to establish a govern
ment so powerful and influential as to
create an interest in its support exten
sive and strong enough to control tho
State governments and people, and re
duce them to subordinate importance

Not for Sale in Hook or News Stores.
THE ALDINE, while issued with all (he
regularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals
It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature; and a collection of pictures,
tho rarest specimens of arti.-tic skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding uumber
affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, tho real
value and beauty of The Aldine will be moot ap
preciated after it has been bound up at tho close
of iho yesr. While other publications may claim
superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a
similar class, The Aldine is a unique and original
conception—alone and unapproached—absolutely
without competition in price or character. Tho
possessor of a complotc volume cannot duplicate
tho quantity of li-ie paper and engravings in any
other shape, or number of volumes Jot Un times
its cost; and then, there arc the chromos, besides!
-A.3R.T ID EF.A.JrtTJVrEISTT -
Notwithstanding the increase in the price o*
subscription last Fall, when The Aldine assumed
its present noble proportions and representative
character, the edition teas more than doubled
during the past year; proving that the Ameri
can public appreciate, and will support a sin
cere effort in the cause of Al t. The publishers,
anxious to justify the ready confidence thus
demonstrated, have exerted themselves to the
utmost to develop and improve the work ; and
the plans for tho coming yoar, as unfolded by the
monthly issues, will astonish and delight oven
tho most sanguine friends of Tilt Aldine.
Tho publishers are authorized to announce de
signs from many of the most eminent nrtists in
America.
In addition, The Aldine will reproduce ex
amples of the best foreign masters,.sclectod with
a view to the highest artistic success, and great
est general interest; avoiding tueh as have be
come familiar, through photographs, or copies
of any kind.
The quarterly tinted pint*#, for 1873 will re
produce four of John S. Dav is' \iimitable child
sketches, appropriate lo the four seasons. Those
platos, appearing in the issues for January,
April, July, and October, would be alone worth
the price of a year’s subscription.
The popular feature of a copiously illustrated
“Christinas” number will bo continued.
To possess such a valuable epitome of the art
world at a cost so trilling, will command the
subscriptions of thousands in every section of
the country j but, as the usefulness and attrac
tions of The Aldme can bo enhanced, in propor
tion to tho numerical increase of its supporters,
the publishers propose to make “assurnnoe doubly
sure,” by the following unparalleled offer of
Premium Chromos for 1873.
Every subscriber to The Atdinc, who pays In ad
vance for the year 1873, will receive, without addi
tional charge, a pair of beautiful o(l chromps, aflcr
J. J. Util, the eminent English painter. The pic
tures, entitled “Tho Village Belle,” and “Crossing
the Moor," are 14x20 Inches—are printed from 20
different plates, requiring 20 impressions and tints
to perfect each picture. The same chromos are
sold for S3O per pair in the art stores. As it Is tho
determination of its conductors to keep The Aldine
out of the reach of competition in every depart
ment. the chromos will be found correspondingly
ahead of any ttiat. can be offered by other periodi
cals. Every subscriber will receive a certificate,
over the signature of tho publishers, guaranteeing
that the ebromos delivered shall be equal to the
samples furnished the agent, or the money will be
refunded. The distribution of picturesof thisgrade,
free to the subscribers to a five dollar periodical,
will mark an epoch in tho history of Art; and, con
sidering the unprecedented cheapness of tho price
for 'The Aldine itself, the marvel falls little sliorL of
a miracle, even to those best acquainted with the
achievements of inventive genius and improved
mechanical appliances. (For illustrations or these
