Tile World Veering Hound.
Oar telegraphic despatches, yesterday,
announced that the New York World had
declared itself convinced that the nomi?
nation or endorsement of Greeley and
Brown, at Baltimore, was a foregone
conolusion, and intimated that its oppo?
sition would cease, whether it concluded
to advocate their election or not. We
have been at a IOBS to understand the
motives of the World in its malignant
attacks upon Mr. Greeley, and in its in?
consistent political tone generally, since
the action of the Cincinnati Convention.
It ranks high among the ablest journals
in the United States, and has been for
years the acknowledged chief organ of
the Democratic party. The South has
had no more apparently sinoere and
earnest friend, nor Radicalism a more
determined foe, than this great journal.
As for ourselves, we had learned to
feel for it un admiration close akin to
reverence. For crushing argument, keen
satire, pithy humor, and graceful scho?
larly style, it need yield the palm to
none of the leading metropolitan jour
aals. We had willingly attributed to it,
too, until its late tergiversations, a sin?
cere and unselfish patriotism. It is not
pleasant to have this oonfidence shaken,
?nd wo were loth to think bad things of
the World. Bat this is not the first time
that the World hos offended, and at?
tempted to stab its friends in the back.
In the campaign of 1868, when every
nerve should have been stretched by a
true Democrat to do all in his power to
eleot Seymour and Blair, the World de?
serted its colors in the hottest of the
conflict, and clamored for new leaders,
when it waa evident that its revolt could
only result in a panio among the already
disheartened Democracy.
The oourse of the World then was
?8 inexcusable as it is now. It could
have done no possible good; it might
have done great harm, and it was ex?
plainable upon only one of two hypo?
theses-tho paper had either been
bought up the Rad?cula, or else for thc
sorry satisfaction which weak minds ex?
per ion co in being able to say, "I told
you BO," it was willing to render dou?
bly sure the defeat of that party oi
which it pretended to be the organ. , ic
the present instance, by the ntinosl
stretch of charitable consideration, w<
cannot account for the present or recen'
tone of the paper npon any snppositioi
creditable to its integrity. Some say i
hos actually sold out to the Radicals, anc
wo must confess that, in moments of irri
tation and disgust, as we read its venom
ous ar tides on Mr. Greeley, thissuspicioi
would foroe itself npon oar own mind
But this presupposes suoh a diab?lica
spirit of hypocrisy and deceit, on tb
part of the conductors of the World
euch a depth both of intellectual an?
moral debasement-that, in oalmer mo
menta, we discard it as almost beyoni
the bounds of possibility. Others sa;
that the paper is laboring under a tem
porary aberration of mind. There i
evidence, truly, of an attack of Greeli
phobia, but the method in tho World'
madness canses ns to doubt the genuine
ness of the disease.
Neither of these supposition? are prc
bable or satisfactory. We have a theor
of our own whiob, to oar mind, fut
Dishes the most rational solution of th
matter; and, at the samo time, may t
many appear the least discreditable t
tho World.
That paper has never had from th
first any purpose or desire to sustain th
Liberal Republicans. The object of il
support of Schurz, Trumbull and Qret
ley, in the inangaration and develor.
ment of the Liberal movement np to th
date of the Cincinnati Convention, we
to or?ate a sohism in the Rep?blica
party, through which the Democrac
might be again restored to power. J
has been false, shamelessly false, but nc
to the Democratic party. Its intends
victim was the Liberal Republican)
The mistake the World made was in pr<
suming that its s?beme of deceit cool
be successfully practiced by the mass?
of the Demooratio party or their organ
The World over-reaoherjitself, and i
endeavoring to take in the Liberal R
publicans, was itself taken in. Th
journal imagined that the rest of ti
Demooratio party was playing tho san
stealthy and treacherous part with itsel
or perhaps we use too strong languag
we will say the deceptive part. The fa
is, that the great mass of in tell gent ai
right-minded people eire very little f
mere party, when it inferieres with tl
accomplishment of a really patriot
parp?se. The people were ripe f
A change. In the Sooth, parti?
larly, they were addi novar wa rerw
What the World and. perhaps a few p
litioians intended for a sham the poop
took in earnest, and from first favorin
which the World helped to teach them to
do, have come to support heartily the
Liberal movement. The TTorW sadly
mistook the" temper of the times, and
having now been convinced of its mis?
take, we trust to see it throw aside all
false pride of personal opinion and bat?
tle manfully for the right, which is
Horace Greeley. Let us have no stay
at-home policy, Mr. World. Tlie man i
who does not vote for Greeley in the
eoming election cannot escape the re?
sponsibility of helping to re-elect Graut.
Starching for Unknown. Quantities.
We hear that Treasurer Parker is
busily applying himself to the study of
Davies' Elementary Algebra. We pre?
sumo he is endeavoring to find a sola
tion to the intrioato financial problems j
to which his figurative management of )
the Treasury Department bas giveu rise.
Ho is trying a hopeless task. "Surd
Radicals"-himself among the number
will spring up to balk his progress in
every equation. They are nasty things
to deal with in mathematics no lena than
in South Carolina-these (ab)aurd Radi
cals. Being the square root of a minus j
quantity, their value ia difficult to be
ascertained, and when found, is not
worth having. There ia no hope of
eliminating them until we wipe off the
slate and start with Horaoe Greeley us
leading factor instead of Grant.
We adviao the Treasurer to quit alge
! bra for the present, and try his baud at
the simpler methods of arith meti?. We
have a problem for him in the rule of
three, which ho can solve with ease to
himself and intense satisfaction to the
people of "our beloved State." It is
this:
If the third of six be three,
What will his share of the^ plunder bx?
If he cannot work it, we will render as
I sistauco cheerfully. We have a shrewd
! notion that we can fix the third term of
the proportion with great accuracy, say
at 6600,000 in 5-20 United States bonds,
with the addition of roan teams, gold
spangled bretts, costly mansions, and all
the other property visible here. We
will deduct, of coarse, the value of the
limited supply of cotton laces and paper
collars which it is said he had for sale
on a back street in Charleston at the
I time he was elevated to or into the Trea?
sury. There were probably no assets
from the rum shop in a Massachusetts
village. ? Bot we prefer that the Trea?
surer will state his owu case.
HOBACJB ?BKELEY'S POSITION IN RE
; a Aim TO TUE DEMOCRATS.-The Hartford
Times (Democratic) of Jane 26, has the
following extract from a private letter to
a gentleman in Connecticut. Though it
was never intended for publication, the
gentleman to whom it was addressed has
deemed it of sufficient interest and i
portanoe to [notify its publication:
I have no possible olaim to Democrat?
ic support, and never made any. The
Democrats will, of conrse, be governed
by a consideration of their own interest.
It is nowise proper or probable that they
should be influenced, in making their de
I cisi?n by any consideration personal to
myself, and if they could be, I do not
j desire it, Hence I have said nothing to
any Democrat unless he first addressed
me, and even then I have gone no fur?
ther than to say that, if I should be
elected, I would treat all those who sup?
ported me alike, not asking whether
they liati been in the past Republicans
or Democrats. Yours,
HORAOE GREELEY.
MR. EDITOR: A. notice appeared in the
Union, of yesterday, purporting to be
based upon a note received from a mem?

South Carolina University, which claims
"that the graduating law classof that in?
stitution were not at all implicated, nor
do they countenance, in any manner,
the conduct of several of tho graduates
on Saturday lust." Tho undersigned
take occasion to state that neither the
members of the law class, nor any other
students, except ourselves, were in any?
wise "implicated" in the matter referred
to. Their "aountenanoe" was not I

tion, &o.
The said plaintiff, complaining on be?
half of himself and all otber stockhold?
ers of tho said Blue Ridge Railroad
Company, who shall in duo time come in
and contribute to the support of this
action, alleges:
I. That the plaintiff is the owner of a
large Dumber of shares of the capital
stock of the Blue Ridge Railroad Com?
pany, a body corporate duly incorpo?
rated by the laws of the said Stute, and
a defendant herein.
II. That the defendant, John J. Pat?
terson, is the President, Thomas J.

reotors of said company, of whom th?
said John J. Patterson, Thomas J.
Steers, George Waterman, F. S. Jacobs
and Hardy Solomon, compose the Exe?
cutive Committee of the said Board of
Directors.
III. That only a small portion of the
road of said company has beeu con?
structed, to wit: about ti tty miles, aud
the company was, until assisted by the
State as hereinafter mentioned, wholly
insolvent, and is no iv still very much in?
volved, having u largo outstanding in?
debtedness.
IV. That said company being in an
insolvent condition an aforesaid, on tuc
ICth day of September, A. D. 1868, the
General Assembly of said State passed
an Act entitled "An Act to authorize ad?
ditional aid to the Blae Ridge Railroad
Company in South Carolina,"and there?
by provided that the State of South Ca?
rolina should, and by its officers duly
authorized, it did endorse the guarantee
of said State upon ?4,000,000 of the ne?
gotiable bonds of the said company,
pledging the faith and the funds of the
said State to the payment of the said
bonds; which said hoads, to the afore
said amount of $1,000,000, guaranteed
as aforesaid, were duly issued to said
railroad company.
V. That the said hoads so issued and
guaraateed as aforesaid, if honestly and
judiciously managed and disposed of
would have realized an amount of mone]
sufficient to have paid the debts of th*
said company, and to have oo'opleted iti
road, but by reason of the incapacity
dishonesty, peculations and fraaduleu
practices of the officers of said company
a very largs numbor of the said bondi
were diverted from the purpose fo
which they were guaraateed and issued
aud were hypothecated for large sums o
money to bankers io the oity of Nev
York and others; that the proceeds o
such booda as were sold, und the mono;
derived from the pledge of others, a
aforesaid, were almost wholly misap
plied, a very small part thereof beioi
used to pay the debts of said company
and to defray the expenses of the con
strnotiou of its road.
VI. That ia oider to secure the rece
very and destruction of the said 84,000,
000 of bonds thus' guaranteed by th
said State aud misapplied as aforesaid

und fuudi of the said State wei
pledged, aud the earne were also mac
receivable by tho officers of the said ?Sta
for taxes aud otherwise, all of which wi
by the said Act, refereoce being ther
unto had, more particularly appear.
VII. That nuder and ia pursuance <
the provisions of the last mentioned Ac
Niles G. Parker, the Treasurer of tl
said State, as authorized and requin
by the said Act, did, in the mooth ?
March, 1872, execute, issue and deliv
to defendant, John J. Patterson, as tl
President of the said railroad compao
certificates of indebtedness of the Stat
(styled revenue bond scrip,) as afor
said, for about the aggregate amount
$1,797,000, for the use of the said ra
road company, upon the surrender of i
equivalent amount of the said guara
teed bonds.
VIII. That immediately upon the t
ceipt by him of the said revenue hoi
scrip, the said John J. Patterson, wi
the knowledge, consent and connivan
of the Executive Committee of the Boa
of Directors of the said oompaoy, coi
posed of the defendants aforesaid,

said directors and others, pledged t
said certificates of indebtedness, reveo
bood sorip, to vari?os trastees in t
State of South Carolina and Now Yoi
to the amount of $1,157,000 of said cer?
tificates, to wit: To the Carolina Na?
tional Bank, a body corporate by tho
laws of tbe United States, about 847,000,
for a loan of $20,000; to the Cuutral Na?
tional Bank about 860,000, for a loan of
$30,000; to tbe defendant, Edward B.
Wesley, of tho citv and ?tate of New

$343,000; and the remainder to persons
unknown.
IX. Tbat the moneys received by the
said Executive Committee as aforesaid,
in the bypotbecatiou of the said certifi?
cates as aforesaid, amounting in all to
about tho sum of 8410,000, have been
fraudulently misapplied by the said com?
mittee-tho greater part thereof to their
own use or the private uso of their indi?
vidual members, uud to other illegal pur?
poses.
X. That upou the maturing of the ob?
ligation to the Raid Central National
Bank, for whiob $GO,000 of said certifi?
cates bad been hypothecated us afore?
said, said John J. Patterson, as Presi?
dent of said company, had in bis bands
fuuds of tho said company suilicieut to
meet the same; but instead of so apply?
ing the said funds, he, the bald Patter?
son, fraudulently misapplied tbe same
for the uso and benefit and at the re?
quest of one Hiram U. Kimpton, and
the defendant, Niles G. Parker, taking
the acceptance of the said Hiram H.
Kimpton, upon a bill of exchauge, en?
dorsed by said Parker and others, for
the fund so expended; whiob eaid bill of
exchange, so accepted and endorsed, tbe
said Patterson tbeu assigned to the said
Central National Batik, leaving with the
said bauk the said $60,000 in certificates
as aforesaid, in pledge tn secure the pay?
ment of the said acceptance. That said
acoeptanne WUH not paid at maturity by
the said Kimpton, but that said Niles G
Parker paid the same, and thereupon
received itu order upou the said bank
from the said Patterson for the delivery
to bim of the suid $60,000 in certificates
as aforesaid, under which order the said
Parker bas received and uow bolds eitbei
tho whole or a largo portion of the said
certificates.
XI. That the balance of tbe said
certificates of indebtedness received by
the said defendant Patterson as afore'
suid, and not hypothecated, were paid
ont by the said Executive Committee
fraudulently, corruptly, uud without any
legal consideration thereupon to variouf
persons, and among others to Hardy
.Solomon, a Director of said Company,
$10,000; to Niles G. Parker, $50.000; ti
H. G. Worthington, also a Director
$20,000; and that very large sums o
money held by the suid President ant
Executive Committee for tho use of sait
Company, as well as other portions o
the said certificates, have been distri
buted to certain others of the Director
and officers of the said company, f randa
lently and without any legal considera
tion thereupon.
XII. Thut at the time of the transac
tion bereiubefore set forth, several o
the persons acting as Directors of tin
said company, to-wit: Hardy Solomon
H. G. Worthington aud E. S. Jacob
uud others, of whom the said Solomoi
and Jacobs were members of the Execu
tive Committee, owned no stock of th
said company, and were not legall;
qualified to act us Directors of said com
pony.
XIII. That by reason of tbe premise
the plaintiff verily believes that it is th
purpose aud intention of the Director
of the said railroad company, or c
a majority of them, to misapply an
convert to their own use, regardless c
the trusts with which they ure charged
the whole of said certificates or the prc
coeds thereof, without paying any of th
debts of the said railroad company, o
otherwise applying them to the use c
said company, to the great and manife!
injury of the said plaintiff and all otb?
stockholders of said company.
Wherefore tho plaintiff prays j nd j
ment:
I. Thut (he said Directors of the sai
company account for their managemei
aud disposition of the funds and pr
porty of the said corporation-the Blt
Ridge Railroad Company-committed I
their charge; and especially for the m
nageaient and disposition of tho sa:

them, and the value of ull proper
which they may have acquired ther
solves or transferred to others, or lost i
wasted by any violation of their dilti

The Washington Chronicle predicts
that in twelve months, tho very best and
first-class sewing machines can and will
be sold for twenty-five dollars. An ex?

Chronicle urges outside manufacturers to
prepare for business at once.
Near 5,000 palmetto hats have been
manufactured at Fernandina, Fla., and
shipped North this season.
