Death of Horace Greeley.
NEW YOEE, November 2S.-The. Tri
bune, this morning, says :. " We arc deep
lv pained .to say that hi the last thirty
six hoars Hr. Greeley's condition bas
greatly changed for the worst. Through
yesterday he remained nearly all th** time
unconscious.' In a counsel ol' some of the
most eminent physicians bf the city, only
one was without hope, but all regarded
the case as critical aud alarming."
NEW YORK, November SO-The ac
counts published of Mr Greeley's last
moments represent him to have been con
scious. During the* day. as is usual in
cases of inflammation of the bruin, his
?hysical suffering was extremely slight,
>ut increased and a morbid a-tion of the
mind waa evident from exterior manifes
tations. He was asked " Do you know
that yon aro dying ?" Without tremor or
emotion he answered, " Yes.1' Agnin
when asked if he recognized Mr. Reid, he
looked up with immediate recognition,
lifting his hand, grasped Mr. Reid's feebly
and said distinctly, "Yes." .
' His last words were, " It is done." Ks
face hardlv. changed, only seithng a little
into a look of perfect peace.
The Tribune says: "The melancholy
death of the editor and founder of the
Tribune, though ter a few days it had
been expected by his family and intimate
friends, fell upon us with alf tho* stapes oli
sudden calamjtv. He had Cached rndfed;
a ripe old age, but time uhdi not? hiid Hr
withered touch upon him. His splendid
eonstitwtion oa?ily bore the strain of enor
mous labor. His mimi was as fresh and
strong and suggestiv.? a?*in the prime of
. life. His generous impulses were nnehill
ed by disheartening experience tl rjugh
the trying Jouipaign just clo-ed. ' His.
physical vigor, his tact, his intellectual ac
tivity, surprised even those who knew him
.best, asd seemed to premise many yean?
of usefulness. It is certain that no histo
ry of the must critical period in nationa
bte can be written in which Horace Gree
ley shall not be a oonspicious figure. But
the noblest career in his eyes was that
which is given up to others' wants. The
successful life was that which is worn ou
in conflict wjth wrong ami woe. The only
ambition, worth following, ir?s the ambi
tion to alleviate bumau misery and leave
the world apitoie better than he found ir
That he had done it, wa? the consolation
which bnghtened his hist days and asaur
ed him.he had not lived in vain.
" It is not for us, in the first hour of our
loss, to paint bis character cr catalogue,his
virtues. AJtbougb for several inonibs.we
have missed the '?naprriitjon of ?B'-pr?s
ence and the guidance of his wise counsel
his spirit has never ceased to animate those
chosen to continue his works, and the
close bond of sympathy between the chiel
and his assistants has never been broken.
We leave his praises to the poor whom he
succored-to the lowly, whom he lifted
up-to the slave, whose back be saved
from tho lash.-to. the oppressed, whose,
wrongs he im><?e>his own.'* !
The IIeraid;\ii?ta editorial upon Gree
ley, says : " He ha?, in a mistaken aspira
tion for a higher field of usefulness and
power and glory than journalism, fallen a
sacrifice to his political ambition. He had
failed to appreciate the commanding posi
tion which he had secured as a hading
American journalist, and leaving it to
pursue the ignis fatuus of the Presiden
cy, he dropped the substance for the shad
ow of a great distinction. Otherwise, the
history and the eaduring rewards cf Mr.
Greeley'* industrious and useful career are
full of encouragement to youug men who,
without capital, personal influence or pow
erful friends, have the battle of life before
ihem."
Graut's ku-kiux Policy.
[Vorrtjq>ondcnce of the Baltimore Mun.]
WASHINGTON, November 27.
The President, in conversation to-day,
again declared that hi intended to inaugu
r?t*1 no particular line of policy towards
the South, as had been reprts-n'ted, unless
it was embodied in tho cartful considera
tion of applications for the pardou ol' the
Ku-Klux prisoners. He hal already
pardoned one, and ahould probably pardon
more, though he intended no general jail
delivery. He thought that where the
neighbors of th^e. Kn-Kluxprisocers ap
plied for pardon and' represented the aver
age sentiment of the community, all ap
plications should be promtply acted upon ;
but to favor a general release of that ele
ment would, in his opinion, be a virtual
admission, thai they had been improper
iv convicted, or thar the law under which
Uley were .imprisoned was unnecettfaryi

Edge?eld, S. C., Dec ?, 1873.
lie Tournament and Ball of the Pal
metto Sabre Club.
In our li rsc announcement of the Tour
amentand Ball ot* th* Palmetto Sabre
Jlub, we predicted they would prove
uch a* brilliant and joyous occasion as
Sdgefield had not known since long bo
oro the war. And so it turned out to
ho letter. Major. W. T. Gary, President
>f tbe Club, and bis Comniittee-nien and
issistants had worked like men in ear
ie8t, and when the day came, all was
io arranged as to insure that the first/eie
>f the Club should bo an honor and
i triumph.
The mornipg dawned bright, but in
tensely cold, and with a sharp and cut
ting wind. . But this deterred no one.
By ll o'clock all Edgefield, within ten
miles of tho town, was gathered upon
the field-the ladies brilliantly dressed
in the height of the gorgeous styles now
In vogue. At about noon, the Club,
spcndldly mounted and In full uniform,
repaired to ike scene. They were pre
ceded by their honored guest*, a,depu
tation from the Augusta Sabre, Club,
Ly Brand's celebjated Columbia band
making the air peal with martial music
the while. Soon after their arrival, Gen!.
John D; Kennedy of Camden, /that dis
tinguished soldier of the late war, moun
ted upon a powerful bay, waa introduced
to the Club, drawn up in line before him,
?nd proceeded to make them the foilow
hgi^eautiful address :
Gentlemen of the Palmetto Sabre Club :'" '
In response to the very kind Invitation
bf the Ladles of ytfur County, I ?ni here
to-day lo represent them In this most in
teresting ceremony ; and although con
tclQus of my inability to do justice to
them or it, I bring to the task a willang
rad appreciative heart,. The nleasure is
enhanced by the fact that I stand Iii the
midst of comrades and sons of comrades,
and have an opportunity of looking upon:
the bornes of those whose gallantry ir
th 3 field prepared me to behold the cul
tivation and refinement bf their hearth
stones.- The scene here presented re
minds me of the peering forth of the sun
iinld dark and lowering clouds when
the stor m has wrapped the heavens in
its sombre mantle. It is a rift in the
darkened- sky. which overcasts us ; and
be~day, surrounded by the beauty of
pb?r tirne-honored District, we feel that
there is life In the old land yet ; and that
there is much,- aye, very much, to live,
ict, and hope for yet. The tempest has
for vean, lashed ita fury about us ; dark,
rollfng"clouds h?ve obscured our horizon
ind hidden from us every landmark.'
But this scene is a beacon-light .which
meera the soul and nerves the heart
mew. And, my friends, it is no mean
ingless ceremony or empty pageant, but
lias a moral which points a truth and
illustrates a principle. It is an evidence'
3f your elastic spirits under the depres
dons of these sad davs ; of your frater
nal, social spirit in banding yourselves
together. It is a proof of mutual good
Aili andan augury of better times; it
shows clearly that you have the courage
which defies, adversity, and that you
dare tb hold up your heads and be nien.
And standing to-day ou thin classic soil,
with the memories of the past clustering
?ibout ns, and- methinks,' the spirit.? ot
statesmen and soldiers hovering .around
ns, and with this throng of devoted,
lovely women beaming lipon us with
their heavenly smiles, and sending you
Ellis ottering of their infection, woven by
their own delicate hands, the symbol not
)f gory warfare, bbt a tribute Of their
ippreciation of your endurance of the
woes you have antlered, andu harbinger
sf your future prosperity, what theme
ls there more appropriate for me than,
is brierly as possible, t ) call to your at
tention two of those characteristics which
bave iu the past made South Carolina
what she was ; and which, though foes
may deride, ?nd vainly iu their hearts uf
beaYts wish to emulate, are yet, under
diff?rent auspices, to redeem and save
ber. And I deem this particularly ap
propriate, aa the representative of these
lair donors, who are to-day truer to their
dear old Mother, hi her hour Of calamity
ind affliction, than they were even when
?he stood proud among the. proudest in
wealth, prosperity and peace! .'
One or these characteristics ia devotion
to duty. The history of South Carolina
is one corruscation of this virtue-a de
votion which knew no measuro, counted
no cost. Turn to every page of that his
tory, ami there you fiud it beaming with
the steady ray of the North Star. You
<eo it in the patriots of tho Revolution
who dared to rebel against unjust aud
tyrannical usurpation of power, and left,
is monuments uf their devotion, King's
Mountain, Eutaw, and Camdem. It
??irred tho hearts of her noble sons who
planted this Palmetto on tho gates of
Mexico. And it was this that fired the
??ou?s of old men and boys, matrons and
maidens, iu the late war, and ou a hun
dred field?added undying lustre to the
irlury of Sooth Carolina. It was this
Chat glorified tho sacrifice of Bee and
Jenkins, and wreathed with a beautiful
bale thje dyjng brow of. Bland. Amid
the urumbljrijf ruins of Sumter, on the
itonn-swept heights of Gettysburg, ?dong
ivery slope or plain, wherever duty call
id, her sous ru ?lied to thc slaughter. This
it was that made her private soldiers,
the real heroes ol every field, endure hun
ger, fatigue, exposure, whether in the
?nows of winter or heats of summer.
And tUttM Jowly njounds scattered from
ihe Pommau to'the Mississippi are silent
but eloquent mementoes pr jhcjr tovo
tion to duty. This it was that enthused
clio intellect of Calhoun; inspired the
tongues of Hayne, McDutlio and Pres
i?n ; and lilied to overflowing tho states
manship and patriotism of Pickens.
Time would fad to speak of tho noble
?ons of your own gallant District, whose
memories are household word*. An at
tempt to enumerate some might do in
itiative to others. This devotion tn duty
was exemplified in their every act and
?paled with tiieir hearts blood.
And certainly there never was a Mme
when South Carolina more demanded
tills virtue of hersons than now. Tire
past is gon.e save in its remembrances
ind influences. Living under a new
??der of things, with new-duties and re
?ponsl hil ?ties, she calls upon -her sons to
.iseto tho e^icencjes of the situation;
ind, while bowing to the inevitable, and
iceopting for her good so much as be
leoMwary for that good, yet f > bo true,
?arnest. devoted, and, aboyo ul I things,
nire and unsullied, not doing aught that
vonld deprado their manhood or falsify
mr record for honesty, Integrity and
rirtue.

motion sprang, was the intense love of

At the olese'of his address, Gerti.'Ken
hedy presented the banner to the Presi
dent of'the Club', who responded thus.:
. Respected Sir : In the name- of the.Pal
metto Sabre Club, we return pur thank
for this beautiful Banner. We are prom
to know that we have tbejro?d will adi
kind support of the ladles Of chivalri
old Edgard.' 'And v>dn0w-Yefeitrrat?n1
success is certaifk .umhlui )
. We accept this beautiful Banner, wjt^
thanks, aqd we will b,ear, it with pride
But dear tis it'ls to us, the fact that It
beautiful folds have been hallowed'bj
the touch'of the noble batt le-wear rec
boro, gives ita new value, and will nervi
every heart to guard it with honor, i,. -
In the olden time the laws of.chiyaln
were the'ruling prjneliple.of society, ant
marked the progress of tho world. Thei
the Knights were -a'powor in the land
aud wielded the destiny of nations. Tm
Palmetto Sabre Club comes not as " ar
army with banners,." to accomplish these
results. Its object is to develop tho no:
.ble virtues of tho beait, tho graces of tin
'mind, to win thc love and regard of th?
fhir ladles of Edgolleld.' and to emulat?
tbe example of the noble patriots' who
have made South Carolina illustrious.
We are not content, to live as pension
ers n pori the labors, of thc past. ." Wt
will-rise again." Tho noblo patriots ol
South Carolina have made for ncr a name
which the defiling hand can not sojl. Il
bas been inscribed high upon the monu
ment of her greatness, and it is above
their reach.
The blood Jof many of those patriotic
M Palmettees*' is coursing through your
veins. Guard thc bright record, and thc
rushing waves of the Lethe, in their
efforts to sink the memories of the past
in their dark depths, will bu rolled back,
and you will stand forth the faithful cus
todians of your rich heritage
Should you fail in this eftort, whorl the
arm of the last "Palmetto" has been
palsied, let that motto "We will rise
again," bo emblazoned upon our tombs,
and bequeath the sacred duty to posteri
ty unborn.
Jupiter is superior to Venus in size
and effulgence, out Venus, the evening
and tho morning star, exerts a far more
powerful Influence over our hearts and
feelings, und imaginations. So too do
the women of our county, in their own
sphere, exert an influence superior to
thP .len. They arcondowed with great
er courage and fortitude to endure, and
they arc greater in the meek, the Christ
like capacity to bear and to suffer. They
do not occupy tho throne, but yet behind
the throne they wield a power greater
than the th rone The glory ol' our State
depend? ou the influence ol'tho mothers,
wives, daughters and sisters of South
Carolina. Our noble women, thank God,
still so live and so act in their own hal
lowed sphere, that they are sacred In mir
eyes, and an inspiration in ?ur hearts;
That they will continue so to live we aro
assured, and although tbe storm cloud*
now lower, and the future is enveloped
?U gloom, under tho influence of their
example wo may commit oqr destiny lo
" the just God w'hojrtoeth all things well."
Again we thunk the ladies of Ed gelled:1
for tili* Banner. When they arc with
us, tho inspiration of their presence will
ensure sueco-s ; and when they aro ab?
sent, this beautiful Banner wm serve to
remind us of their watching oyes and
approving snides, and Wc" will "deserve
success.
TO J. H. OltKATITAM J
To you Sir, as thc Color Bearer of this
Club,*we commit this sacred charge. Your
noble bearing upon tho bold of battlo,
and your honorable scars, assure us that
you will bear it with honor.
Mr. J. H. Cheetham, rn /ccolving the
banner into his keeping, Uttered a few
very appropriate words ol' thank*! ap
preciation and resolve.
The banner is of rich plum-colored
silk, edged with cold fringe. Upon one

I . . hi IJ >
,; Tfoe second session of the present Con
gross assembled on Monday the 2d inst,
?n?Vwill continue iintil the 4th of March
1873. The President's Message wa?r re
ceived and read. This week we have
tim? to mention but ono or "two of ita
salient points.
It refers to the ;,GenevaMarbitr&tipr4; of
tho Alabama Claims and its satisfactory
results, which-have left the two Govern
ments, America and England, without a
shadow on their friendly relations.
".Referring to Eu Klux disorders, the
President does not say thore shall be too
move of the tyrannical arrests ami per
sooutioris of white people in the1 South;'
wbicli have disgraced the U. S. gov?rn'
"mont for two years past, but.simply ex
presses tho.conviction that "under the
obvious advantages of good or dei- and
peace" it will-soon be unnecessary to carr
ry on such " prosecutions.".
He recommends to Congress to acquire
possession of and title to all telegraphic
linos now in ?op?ration in the United'
States.
He suggests that all the Indians shall
bc-confined to thc territory south of
Kansas, and that farms shall bc secured
to them.
Wc shall make a more elaborate, synop
sis of tho Messago in our, next issue.
Thc Republic Tottering in France.
There in again trouble in' Franco, as
there has been off and on for cightj'-throo
yeArw i?n?<t-ovo.r since dbe first, ito-roi ti
tian. President; Thiers and his Admin
istration and the Legislative Assembly
and thc people generally are all quarrel
ing obstinately. Tho latest telegrams
announce that all tiie Ministers have re
signed, and that Thiers says the only
ourso left for him is resignation. Orl
anists, Bonapartists, Legitimists, . Red
Republicans, ar? all watching thoir
chances. Not since the fall of the Com
mune hay France so commanded the at
tention of thc world as she doe.-; to day.
Who knows but that wo shall havo to
record ll>c horrors and blasphemies of
another Commune?
KS*" The New York Herald a? the2!)th,.
contains a commonicationsigned " Chem
ist," in which th?; writer calling himself
one of the Paris Comm uric stales that the
Boston fire was the work of thc labor re
formers. That the explosions heard du
ring Hie tire, which were attributed to
other tilings, were nothing but thc ex
plosions of a powerful chemical combina
tion lately invented, Und known only to
him and his confederates, The oomlnnu
tioiis.areno largor than an ordinary ap
ple, and cost only ninety-two couts each,
He says that thoir work in Boston was
but tho commencement! and intimates
that capitalists shall still further sutler
if the rights pf labor are not respected.
