H >W I HEY BTANP ON THE QUESTION OF
PEACE.
I he fact is worthy to be mentioned, not
~ , ’“i to any one, but nevertheless as
*i t replete with siguiHcauce, that the
men who led the Bouthern armies when
t hen was real fighting to be done, and when
the M-ctfonal controversy was lieing settled
■With powder and ball and shell and shot,
rtr a i opposed to astraightout nomination
on impracticable issues in the Presidential
i leei on, and are in favor of the adoption of
the ( ace programme declared at Cincin
nati. Let- us submit a few examples in each
of tie reconstructed States:
In Louisiana Beauregard, Longstreet
pnd Hays.
In Texas —John B. Hood.
In Mississippi Featherston, Walthall
and Humphreys.
In Alabama—Pettus, Morgan (John TANARUS.)
and Kaphael Hemmes.
In Georgia—Gordon, Benning, Wolford
and Wright.
In South Carolina—Han*,,ton and Ker
In North Carolina —D. 11. Ilill and Ram
sey.
In Virginia—lmboden and Pickett.
In Tennessee —Forest, Bates, Cheatham
and Brown
While these soldiers of the “ Lost Cause ”
are rallying under the banner of peace
which has been entrusted to the keeping of
honest Horace Gri-clcv because he has
steadily advocated "universal amnesty
since the close of the war, and has given
the highest evidence of personal example of
the faith within him —the rank and die,
whom they lead, are forming around them
an invincible phalanx, to win a victory in
peace second only to the glories of their
record In war.
“ In truth” says the Hartford! 7Y;;ks, “ we
seem to Ik* ,ii a political revolution. There
is to Ir: a change. Next November, unless
all the indications ire at fault, will see the
overthrow of Grant and his M diary Gov
ernment. There Ss to be a char ge of policy
—a change of administrat ion—a change of
Congress'. A P uaoeratic Congress is com
ing u-xt. Wo s.re to have a restoration of
Constitutional Government. Is it worth
while t-> stand any longer lamenting and
com plaining about the moans and the In
struments which are used to accomplish
tics great result? It is evident lobe Grec-
I. y u r Grant. Of the two, we much prefer
Greeley. And so do tb-conventions that
meet to oppose him ; they find their action
inevitably .shaping Itself in favor, not
against the Cincinnati ticket, if they would
overthrow Grant and his party.
7'he LsGrangi Reporter says:
“We prefer defeat under a Democratic,
ticket to defeat under the Greeley dag.”
Ex Gov. Blair, of Michigan, remarks
11 If Greeley is nominated at Baltimore, 1
will take t.hcstumpin his favor. Michigan
will go for Greeley if a cordial union is es
tabiish-d betvv-en the oponents ol Grant.”
[From tlio Tim.-s, H irtforJ, form
Senator Sumner is preparing a speech
upon the tinances of the country and the
financial administration of I ’resident Grant.
“It will astonish the American people
when delivered Should Greeley be nomi
nated at Baltimore, Senator Sumner is pre
pared to speak to his countrymen In favor
of the election of Greeley to the Presi
dency.”
The New York Timm, Grant’s chief or
gan, says if Greeley is elected by Demo
cratic votes, “ he will be completely in the
hands of the Democrats.’’
Mr. Cassius M, Clay, of Kentucky, in
the course of his speech at Springfield, two
weeks ago, declared as follows :
“That, Grant had violated in spirit, if
not in letter, every principle of the Consti
tution. He made war in violation of law;
he surrounded himself with a military
family; h* stole land from the poor colored
nun of San Domingo, and threatened that
weak nation if it should resist; had tam
pered with the Judiciary, having made ap
pointmenls for the purposeof affecting the
decision of the Supreme Court. lie also
made an appeal against centralization,
showed the danger of a strong Govern
ment,, and declared that what was wanted
was not a strong Government, but a strong
pe< ipie.”
On the same occasion tonf/ John Went
worth, as lie was railed when a member of
Congress, made some pointed and stinging
remarks about General Grant
He said that, in the old country, when
revolutions occur, the King always semis
his children abroad JGreat laughter.]
Grant had sent most of his children across
the sea, and now lie had gone and settled
down on the shore himself. [Cheers | He
was glad the innocent children were out of
harm’s way in this great ground swell of
the Republic. Greeley, 1m said, was sure
to be nominated at Baltimore, and the d<
cree of a Democratic Convention was al
ways final.
The New York Sun relates a conversa
tion between a reporter of that paper and
one James L. Richardson, (colored) of
Sc riven county, Ga., who went North to
express to Mr. Greeley the high esteem and
veneration in which he Is held by those
who were once slaves :
Richardson said that the colored people
were willing to support Dr. Greeley be
cause the Grant men, carpet-baggers and
office-holders have always deceived them in
their promises.
“ I traveled extensively through Scrivon,
Efflngiiain, Burke and Bullock counties,
and can assure you that the colored people
in those counties will support no other
man but, Dr. Greeley.
“There arc always a lot of fellows going
round making speeches and telling the ad
vantages of re electing General Grant, We
have heard that story so often that I for
one don’t believe it. I return to Georgia
to-morrow, an/I will take the stump for Dr
Greeley myself. !f (he four counties i can
speak for are any indication of the senti
ments of the people In other States, Gene
ral Grant is a badly beaten candidate.”
The great ado over the question of Con
sequential Damages may be considered as
finally settled. England has triumphed.
The Grant Administration had already
well night backed squarely down from its
demands lx:fore the tribunal at Geneva de
cided the claims for Consequential Dama
ges illegitimate.
(From the Courier Jouinnl.
Greeley am! Seliurz.
Much is said of Horace Greeley’s per
sonal unfitness for the Presidency. We,
ourselves, remembering bis peculiarities,
have felt, and have expressed, the force of
the suggestion. But, after all, may we not
make a eommon psychological mistake,
and attach too much import to the outside
of the man ?
Mr. Greeley is an odd, exceptional per
son. He Is now sixty years of age. His
hair Is as white as silver, but the bloom of
a lad of sixteen is in his cheek. He has
Ihe compressed and collected strength of a
life devoted to useful pursuits, to study, to
exercise, to charity, to drudging, to intel
lectual work and physical work, to perfect
sobriety and regularity. His mind, like
his body, is vigorous and live. He is a
prodigious talker, writer and farmer. He,
does everything with a vim. He could en
gage in a wrestling match with Schurz,
who is a lithe ami active man, with a lair
show of success. He can out-talk Charles
Sumner, whose t/sngue is equal to a mill
wheel, lie can ride with John Breckin
ridge, who has been known to keep the
saddle three or four days on a stretch, lie
hews trees, plows, and, iu short, does the
work of half a dozen ordinary men. In
appearance Mr. Greeley is farm like Those
who have seen Harvey Eads can form an
idea of Horace Greeley—neat, old-fashion
e/1, somewhat queer, bat pleasing—a figure
in whom Walter He/Ht would have de
lighted.
There never was a more perfect antithe
sis than that raised up by the Creator in
Carl Schurz and Horace Greeley; and yet,
striking as the contrast is, there are strong
points of similitude. Schurz may be fairly
ticketed as the Hero of Civilization, the
Cavalier, so to say, of onr nineteenth cen
tury culture, with all of the inspiration
and none of the vires of the Ruperts and
the Sidneys—the most brilliant,, natural
representative of the morality of American
political life, which we hold to l>e the lead
er and progenitor of all modern political
philosophy, to lie found anywhere occupy
ing an active place in public affairs. If
Schurz de|K*uded upon his talents as a poli
tician for success he would be a failure
He has succeeded in spite of his simplicity
as a contriver, and because of his extraor
dinary power as a leader His is immeas
urably the 1/est Intellect that lias appeared
in this country since th/- death of Calhoun,
whom lie resembles in many points, but
whom he surpasses in breadth of culture
ami knowledge of the world. Calhoun had
a superb understanding, but he was a pro
vincial. Bchurz has a superb understand
ing, and is a nationalist. Schurz really
unites to t ie patriotism of Webster—-with
out Webster’s short-comings— the logical
mind and purity of character which made
Calhoun s> powerful in spite of Calhoun's
limited horizon. In fine, Schurz is the
leader—earnest, sympathetic, self-poised,
self-denying, sincere, straight-forward,
brave, unpretentious, reliable, large head
ed and large-hearted.
May it not be, to come back to onr mut
ton, which, in Mr. Greeley’s case, is no
sheep, that wo are falling into the error of
ascribing to Mr. Greeley’s -personal oddi
ties, which, after all, are most amiable and
admirable, too much weight, and, by so
doing, missing his real, intellectual charac
teristics? He is the liest posted politician
la America. He has for thirty years ad
ministered a great daily newspapy—a
mimic Government within itself—with ex
traor/fmary practical success He is a
model, practical farmer, and makes his
m nltl farm yield him a handsome revenue,
in all his worldly gear he is success. Mr.
Buchanan made us a very bad President.
Yet Mr. Bucliai.an was an educated public
tnau ; a pattern statesman ; as perfect a
piece of political marble as Charles Francis
Adams ; having served as a Senator, as a
member of a Cabinet, as a foreign embas
sador. May not Mr. Greeley—who is not
our ideal of what a President ought to be
iu his outer man—prove a contradicthffi to
all our worldly notions?
Well, well, we!!. We mean to take our
chance of him, anyhow, lie is an able man.
He is an honest man. lie is a good man.
He may be cranky—he may be curious, ac
cording to our preconception. Who knows ?
We do know that Grant is an iron hearted,
wooden-headed nutmeg, warranted to kill;
we know that he is obstinate ami i>3raiino
niotfS; we know that he is a good fellow to
his friends, with a bad faculty for choosing
a bad set of friends, ami a bad fellow to his
enemies, who are of our best people. 80,
feeling towards Horace Geeelejr downright
affection, not unmingled with the fear of
the hoy that didn’t know what confounded
notion the old man might take in his head,
oni V lie was sure “ the obi man Would nei! h
er lie nor steal,” we take Horace Greeley,
ami that hopefully, with a distinct and un
controllable belief that be will give us a
Cabinet unsurpassed in our political annals,
and an administration which will contra
dict all the fears of those who reason not
by Horace Greeley's inner self, but. draw
their inferences from his outward and visi
ble man, which. —to say truth—is merely
that of a simple, cleanly, country gentle
man.
Greeley, on the other hand, is a sentinien
lal ascetic —a product of that Scotch-Irish
creativeness which has peopled our histo
ry and our literature with oddity and with
power; a strong man ; a moral man ; a
shrewd man, abounding in mother wit, in
tnilive perceptions, self will—a natural,
honest demogogue in the original and com
pllmeutary sense when (he demagogue
was the true representative of the people.
Horace Greeley reflects the mediocre aver
age of the American sentiment more accu
rately than any living man, ami this will
account, for the rallying of the people
against the politicians.
It is a good sign. Put Greeley in the
White House; make Carl Schurz Wecrel i,
i\ of State, ami what more do you want?
Or put Greeley in the White House and
leave Pari Schurz in the Senate, backed by
the young impulse of the country, ami you
have an ideal placement of public affairs
full of promise
One thing isecrf.aiu The rank /fill par
tyism of by gone times receives the deepest,
ol gashes from the ascendancy of that
Liberalism which, defying antecedents ami
prejudices, takes Horace Greeley as its sign
and leader The South cares nothing about
party titles and records It looks to its
own emancipation—moral not less than
legal. It seeks relief. It seeks association.
It seeks principles, not men or measures, as
the foundation of its future fabric It goes

Stanton was right. This soldier man of
America will not do for President ; so the
people are now going to t ry one of the best
workingmen of America, and a man who
has never made a single failure in his life
except one, and that was when he tried to
make a Republican President out of a pig
headed soldier. The supremacy of the civil
over the military authority is a.plank in
the Liberal platform. There is a sad signifi
cance in the fact that this plank lias to be
inserted in a Republican platform at this
time; but, what, is worse, it has to be re
established asa living principle in America
Four years more of U S Grant will cstab
lish the supremacy of t.he military over the
civil authority as a permanent principle in
this country. The Government just now
is an anomoly, <r. as a friend of mine says,
a promiscuous Government, it is half
shoddy, half military—a cross between the
swindler and the trooper. Since the day
of “Old King Cole, that merry old soul,”
there has been no such burlesque regal
household as the one in Washington now.
West Point cadet :, with commissions in
their pockets, are Presidential lackeys, and
Generals of the United States army are
gentlemen ushers to wait upon the orders
of the late Galena tanner This royal me
nagerie will all disappear when Grech y
comes. The sight of the old white hat
quietly crossing the threshold will put the
whole military array to instant, flight The
White House will resume again its old
time character, and become the dignified
residence of a plain Republican President
and his modest household. Horace Greeley
will --/Mill the soldiers to do soldiers’ work,
and not the work of lackeys an l ushers in
Washington, and bailiffs and detectives in
the .South. The bay/,nets will be relegated
to the Rocky Mountains to watch Indians
and protect settlers, instead of watching
Southern Democrats and protecting cariiel
baggers.

Spirits.
Washington, June :JO. —lt appears from
an official statement just prepared at the
Office of Internal Revenue that on the first
of May the quantity of spirits in bond was
eight millions six hundred and seventy
two thousand four hundred ami seventeen
gallons. The number of distilleries run
ning June 29th was two hundred and fifteen,
with a daily capacity of two hundred
and seventeen thousand six hundred and
eighty-two gallons. The decrease in the
number of distilleries since the first of June
is twenty, while the increase in the capaci
ty of those in operation is nine thousand
eight, hundred and sixty gallons. The de
crease pertains to small establishments.
The increase of production is accounted
for from the fact that the tax is now sixty
one cents, but. on and after the first of A u
gust, by the new law, it will be seventy
cents. It, is probable, judging by the in
formation revolved, that there will be a
still further increase of mamifacf tire, so as
to till the bonded warehouses between now
and the first of August.
