COLUMBIA. S. C. Friday alor nine. Jone 7,1872. Tba Greeley ?nd Brown Ratification Meeting In Hew York. Onr New York exchanges, which leached ns yesterday, represent the meeting at the Cooper Institute, on Monday evening, for the purpose of ratifying the Cincinnati nominees and platform, as of the most imposing cha? racter. It was the largest political gathering since the war, far surpassing the late Grant mooting held at the same plaoe, and exceeding both in numbers and enthusiasm even the monster re? ception given Schur/, and Trumbull. It vasa combination meeting of Democrats and Republicans. The immense masses of the former present shows with what hearty good will the rank and file of the Democratic party intend to support Greeley and Brown; and the thousands of Republicans present, and the distin? guished speakers from that party who addressed the crowd, shows plainly how false is the statement made by f righto oed Radicals and reiterated by impracticable Bourbon Democrats, that the Liberal movement had no Republican support. Among tho speakers of the occasion wore Gen. Cochrane, Gen. Kilpatrick, ex-Go v. Bradford, Senator Tipton, Sena? tor Doolittle, Col. A. K. MoLure, and a number of other able, earnest, eloquent and patriotic men. There was, beside the meeting inside the Cooper Institute, ?four stands ereoted around on adjacent squares, and which were thronged to suffocation by eager, enthusiastic crowds. One tras called the Republican stand, another the D?mocratie stand, another the German stand, and the fourth the Irish stand. There were hundreds of ladies pre? sent; more than could be provided with seats. But those who were unable to eoouro this comfort, nothing abashed, stood it like men. The names of Greeley and Brown were invariably greeted with bursts of long-continued applause, and the electric words, "Union" and "Reform," made the mighty masses mad with en? thusiasm. The Herald, which, though no party organ, strongly favors Grant, admits the importance and significance of the meeting, and predicts the success of the Liberal ticket in New York, if the Democrats make no separate nomination. The World is for once dumbfounded. Like the little fellow the oalf run o ver, that astonished journal has not a word to say of tho great event; but goes on pegging away at Greeley in a stupid sort of way, raking up old statistics, and dwelling upon prophetic probabilities to show how easy the Democrats can elect a straight ticket. Now theaSwictorien of figures on paper are very comforting sometimes, but they aro proverbially de? lusive. We venturo to say that there never was a defeated party, of any re? spectable pretensions, in a Presidential canvass, which hos not figured out ita almost certain success before the day of eleotion came. The Tribune, of course, is jubilant over the wonderful success of the meeting, and the hold whioh Uncle Horace and the Liberal movement has taken on the public heart. We feel the oontagion of the enthusi asm ourselves, as we Bit in our sanctum and pen these lines, and though all alone, experience an almost irresistible impulso to fling up our hat and hurrah for Uncle Horaoo. There is more in this Liberal Republican movement than simple opposition to Grant; more in il than a desire to reform the extravagance and corruption of the present Adminis? tration; more in it than even a rebuke to unconstitutional legislation, tho in< fringement of the rights of the Statet and the invasion of personal liberty bj the suspension of the habeas corpus, more in it than a warning and protea' against military centralism; more in it, indeed, than all the principles of Demo oraoy oompriBe, or whioh their fullesl success could accomplish. It is the idct of re-union, ot reoonoiliation, of renewer friendship between the North and th? Sonth. The South has been hitherto too proud and too suspicious; the Nor ti too easily alarmed with the bug-bear o: a slumbering rebellion, whioh weak mei have preached that worse men might gel office. Upon the hates and heart-burnings o the war, the worst elements of the Re pnblioan party have gained control o the Government. Carpet-baggers, pub Ho plundering and the desolation o what was onoe the fairest section of thi Union is the consequence. The Liberal movement marks a nev era. The people, North and Soutb, ar* sick of the jealousies, the wranglings the bitter sectionalism, whioh brough on the war, and whioh has shaped th? publio counsels since. We? know tha there is a good deal of it left yet, botl nt the North and South. Bad men koo\ it elive there and proud men here; bu its death knell is being sounded. The war must be forgotten, or regarded only as a lamentable family quarrel, the me? mory' of which mask be buried in the more cheerful contemplation of acto of renewed good will and amity. It is this idea which inspires Liberalism with such lofty enthusiasm, and raises it high above all parties or men's political prin? ciples. It addresses itself as much to the hearts as to the heads of the people. Fondamental doctrines, time-honored principles, and all each political plati? tudes, must go down before it, for it means more than all these thingr. Let those croak of Horace Grer-loy's past political record who will; the peo? ple are not thinking of politics now, but patriotism. Amnesty is tho word-am? nesty for everything, exoept rascality and roguery. We will forgive aud for get, wipe oil the slate, and begin anew. TU? Tren.! y ShiUdlc1. Tho hnmble pie which Grant and tho Administration consented to swallow, in the belief that the Washington treaty would thus and thus only be preserved, seems likely to prove a bootless humilia? tion. The supplemental treaty proposed by England, and whioh was to do away with the American claim for indireot damages, waa aooepted substantially by the Senate; bat these wiae men must needs tinker Mr. Gladstone's English so as to make it conform to the require? ments of their moro onltivatod tantea Mr. Gladstone does not seem to relish this imputation apon his orthography, and rejects the corrections, amplifica? tions, or whatever the changes may be, professing that he and his Government cannot understand precisely what posi? tion the United States desires to assume ia relation to consequential damages. The action of the Senate, and the subse? quent correspondence between the high contracting powers, bas been kept secret, aod it is consequently not fully known, outside of official circles, what or where precisely is the present hitch that clogs the progr?s? of the wheels of arbitra? tion and seems to threaten the entire de? struction of the treaty. The general be? lief, whioh is very probably correct, is that the amendments or alterations made by tho Senate, in the supplemental treaty, give too great latitude to neutrals; that instead of specifying the nature of the indireot damages, for which a neu? tral was not to be responsible, as Eng land proposed, the Senate bas so changed the phraseology as to relievo neutrals of all obligations what ever for the losses they may inflict by their carelessness or neglect upon a friendly power while at war, except for strictly direct damages. Some are of the opinion that the objec? tions arged by England to the changes made by the Senate are all a mere pre? tence, and that ber purpose is to take advantage of the bangling and stupid diplomacy of the Uuited States to escape from the payment of any sum whatever, even for direct damages. This seems scarcely probable, for surely it were bet? ter for England to pay a few millions of dollars, and be at quits once and for all, than to bavo these claims of America hanging like the sword of Damocles over her head, and ready to fall upou her devoted neck whenever her complica? tions with some other power presents au inviting opportunity for indignant Ame? rica to demand peremptory judgment against her. Be this as it may, there is certainly very little hope, at present, of the final eucuess of the treaty.- The grand stroke of foreign policy which was to "envelop the end of Qruut's adminis? tration in a blaze of glory," bas proved a humiliating abortion. Not satisfied with tho substantial benefits which would have resulted to the country from tho sacoes8 of the treaty and the oonduot of the arbitration in an open and honorable manner, Grant and bis advisers resorted to the role of the pettifogger, backed by the blustering of the mere bully, and have succeeded as they deserved. The welfare of the country, the honor of the American people, and the interests of civilization itself, throughout the world, were all risked in a base attempt to bol? ster a oorrnpt parly, and all lost. ENGLAND IN DAN a EU.-The terrors of the battle of Dorkiugsink into insignifi? cance beside the new peril that ia said to threaten the English nation. Lord Shaftesbury, in a speech at the Turkish Mission Aid Society, at Exeter Hall, alluding to the eruption of Vesuvius, said it was a popular delusion to think England free from the- probability of ?hese eruptions; the most eminent ge? ologists had often told him that England constituted the cover of a subterranean well of Are, and was liable at any mo? ment to meet the fate of the district round Vesuvius. About the date when this cover fulls io, we may look out for the settlement of the Alabama claims. They have had a court room sensation in Ak to ii, Ohio. Two brothers were up for burglary, when one plead guilty and took the whole blame on himself in order to shield the other from punishment. The soene is desoribed as being very ef? fecting. George Alfred TownitHd Describes tb? Balling or Hr. Darla. Though seven yeare have passed away, the best description of the eoe no of the bailing of Jefferson Davis by Mr. Oreo j ley bas just been given by George Alfred I Townsend to tbe Chicago Tribune. He represents the Oinoinnati nominee aa at I that time really cutting the Gordian knot when the oonutry was deliberating I whether to commit an %ot whioh would be repent d ever afterward, by hanging Davis, or keep bim a prisoner, aa Q leen Elizabeth did Mary Stuart. "Horace Greeley took the public niiud off Davis and becimo in turn tbe best abused man in America. He played mercy aud mag? nanimity, and closed up the war without shedding a life to stain the victory of freedom." We quote from Mr. Town? send's letter: Monduy morning tho United States grauite building waa thu town rendez? vous. It stood at the foot of the State Capitol hill, whuro tho Davis Govern? ment ruled with brief but tremendous energy, and where all departments quar? reled, and old Jeff. himself showed all the weukness and strength of u destruc tionist. In this court room presided a very forbidding-looking Judge, by name Underwood-a mau apparently stunted and bleached by wrongs and fears, but for all I know, a consistent and persist? ent man-born in the North, wedded to a slaveholder's daughter for whom he was tutor, and now very ambitious aud uncharitable to his betten neighbors. The charge this man had delivered to the grand jury, a few days before, was a strong iustanoe of merely tantalizing declamation, bad in spirit, mean in lan? guage, and without the tone or intent of justice in it. The grand jury was oomposed of whites and hincks-the usual intelligent jury existing in a bali guilty depeudenoe between the Judge und the foreman. John Minor Botts waa'on the jury-a big-bellied, bale fellow, farmer politi? cian, two-thirds demagogue, and one third obstinacy, with the varnish and veneer of eloquence over all; a talker by profession, who boasted that he had never read a book HIUCJ boyhood, but lived on newspapers aud other stimu? lants. He is dead, and carved his page on the history of the country. What oontrary and heroic things mun do for many years to get that pagel The light was fair in the anuri room, and, in due time, Jeff. Davis entered. He wore common clothes, looked weak eyed, was not un impnrtaut looking man, i id seemed to me not worth so much hating and fuss. He had been very un? popular in Richmond, but the people naturally felt that be was not vicariously on trial for them, und they loyally stood by him. There are people, I know, who want tbe people to behave as Bancroft Davis wanted Euglund to behave-like weeping fluuk-ejrs, ruuuiug over at the eyes and lips with apologies. Our fel? low-man is no swindler. When he oarries bis musket four years bare-footed to keep up tbe interests aud save the necks of politicians, he is slow to cry on order. Colossal infants, like Senator Pratt, of Indiana, may go on to this day hating the South for its want of mean contrition. This surt of man naturi meant to be an old maid, and write treatises on the bringing np of children. What does he know ubout men aud om nature, b g au he is. I saw there Charlea O'Conor, of Nen York, who was afterwards to beso poten tml end independent in prosecuting tbe Tammany ring, aud thu-? luneusibly bead tug the fraternal revolution; Gen. Imbo den, who was to write a very beautifu letter to the Cinoiuuaii Convention it Horace Greeley's favor, und, I think Frank Sternes, a fellow Vermonter witt Greeley, by birth, who was to beal Imbodeu's letter to Oiuotuouti. Li int ly, I saw Horace Greeley himself enter tht court room, and become tho focus o observation. Mr. Greeley I had never spoken will up to Unit day. He was a large, fleshy marked-looking man, with a smooth healthy face, in wbtoh the colors wen brighter thau mun usually keep. H< bad u deep, beuevoleut forehead, ant wore, I think, a suit of black broad cloth. He seldom wears a white coat a auy time, although caricature so repro sents him, and his b it in bis bund wa the rama quality und shape he has al ways carried siuue-abroad rimmed felt soft and fine, and sensible and dress; enough for any person. -41e wus dresse? as well us anybody ni Rioiimoud. Hi looked to me like a mau originally slr and bashful, und incurably retiring b; native wish, and wuu, tiiert-fore, cami forward on public occasions from pro pulsion rather thau from ei.j >ymeut His smile, at suoh times of txuibitiou is that of a good-humored boy whi would muoh rather go play lu the yan thau exhibit before comp.io \ ; and it oe curred to me there that, lor worldly us?e a mau might have such a thing as itu exuberant health and temperance. H spoke to few, aud then always by request and he was, to a great extent, the reign lng iu?ueuce in that prurience. Under wood, the Judge, with whom lay tb option of takiug bail, paul much mor respect to Horace Greeley's intention than to Mr. Davis. After the bond was signed, Mr. Qree ley stepped back towan! a column u pillar where be had tirnt stood. Mi Davis rose from his chair with a smile o respect, and reached oui lus hand; bon ing like one under deep obligation, an fully accepting the aot lu tts beuevolen spirit. Mr. Greeley took the hand without speaking, so far UH I could sec and the action lasted only a portion of moment. The two huve never had oom muuioation since. Mr. Voorhees says that Mr. Greeley aot was meddlesome impertinence. . public mau who could stigmatize a larg and painstaking act of kimluess like thu1 in such terms, has a querulous and prc viuoial nature, aud a gen? rous age wast* time upon him. Wu it meddlesome in pertinences was not Mr. Voorhees guilt of during the war-prolonging it by h example, adding stupidity to the inevi? table, and assuming that the whole epic tragedy revolved about himself. To save hie seat ia Congress, and remember his long-haired egotist would recommend {lersonul government till doomsday, and oad the carpet-bag hanging round the neck of the South. That impertinent oct of Horace Greeley, brave as it waB, had nearly driven bim from tho head of the Tribune. After the crowd left the ooart room, air. Greeley proceeded directly to his hotel, ia the company of Mr. Botts, and, introducing ra y sol f, the former said: "Why, Gith, why haven't you intro? duced yourself to me before? Come, walk down tbe street." That night the Richmond newspaper folks gave UH all a supper, and Mr. Oreo ley presided. Hu gave a toast in cold water that tho enmities of tho past be buried, aud wo lay our bauds and hearts to the peace of the futuro. We all, Greeluy excepted, drank a great deal of obumpague, and young MaoFurlaad, edi? tor of Forney's Wellington Chronicle, (a papor now defunct, I believe, killed by a Bohemian named Fox, by Holden, the North Carolina outlaw, and by Mor? ris, a renegade preacher,) toasted Jeff. Davis, for which the small-minded and timid Forney afterward cut off McFar? land's head. As nearly as I can remem? ber my speech, it was to tho effect that the provost marshal and the man in but? tons had had this day; that the boat way to spoil the Amerioau volunteer was to make bim believe that nobody else had over served bis country from the no? blest motives; and that for myself, long aa army correspondent, I had seen a great deal of meanness, jealousy, in? trigue and several penitentiary offences committed in the army, and hailed its disbandment and the opening of the prison doors to them that were bound. Little did we know the fury that was gathering in the North for Horace Gree? ley. The New York Times, never truly in earnest, except when it gets tho Tri buna foul, had its brief revenge, and was meaner than ever. The Christian press kept Christ's admonition with a ven? geance, "Be good to your enemies; pray for them that despiteful ly use you." I am afraid I have never been charitable to the Christian press ever since. I as? certain o i that the New York Independent and several of its pions contemporaries farmed out their financial columns. My own account of the court scene was gut? ted and altered in a very impertinent manner by the editor of tbe paper em? ploying mo, and Mr. Greeley seut to me in vain for the MS. to use on the Tribune I do know that the city of Richmond appreciated that aot. The feeling that ? lay all over tbe tire-scarred capital of the Old Dominion was a warming loyalty to the Union again. The noisy rebuke is hushed now, and noue abuse the act but a very useless and showy Indiana Democrat. The man who went on the bond of Jefferson Davis will preside in tbe White House at Washington from the 4th day of next March, and provo the pen, iu the hands of one entirely merciful, mightier tbau the ?word.
