NBW HAVEN, July 12.-Gratz Brown,
responding to a serenade, conclu dee:
"You will find Missouri, and Arkansas,
and Iowa, and Illinois, and Kentucky,
and Tennessee, are coming up in*solid
phalanx and casting their votes. You
will find that the State of Missouri,
whioh gave 40,000 majority for the Libe?
ral Republican tioket in 1870, will give,
in 1872, not less than 100,000 majority.
You will- find that the State of Illinois
will be curried by 30,000 majority. You
will find that all these great States are
coming up, and are going to supplement
the votes that are cast in the Eastern
States; and while I am no prophet,
whilst I do not pretend tu be a prophet,
yet I am frank to say to you, that in my
judgment I shall not be surprised if
Qen. Grant does not carry three States
in the nation." [Applause.] Alluding
to Greeley, Brown said: "lt has been
the custom and habit that when any of
the gentlemen who may have been anta?
gonistic to ns, or to some of the gentle?
men who have been in the Liberal Re?
publican movement, to say that they
bad no confidence in that great chief
who had beeu nominated at Cincinnati;
that they were willing to reooguize him
BB their leader; that, perhaps, they were
willing to yoto for him as President; but
all the time qualifying it with doubts,
with questions, with interrogations,
wiik arched eye-brows and large mouths.
I want to say to you that I do not be?
long to that class. I believe him to be
a groat and grand statesman. (Ap?
plause.] 1 do believe that he has got
the largest head ia America. [Applause. ]
Now, my fellow-citizens, 1 have some
opportunity of understanding this ques?
tion. I have been, as far as Mr. Greeley
is concerned, in conflict with him on
large and vital questions. I have known
him for long years, aud I have been iu
relations with him through the press.
If any of the gentlemen who stand be?
fore me have been his readers, I say to
yon frankly, with tho honest experience
of an antagonistic journalist, that I be?
lieve he is the ablest man to-day in Ame?
rica. I have differed with him in great
and, as I believe, in fundamental ques?
tions. I have differed with him on great
and grave questions in the publio p-.
I have antagonized and I huve oppoaed
him, and 1 may, perhaps, have occa?
sionally ridiculed him; but I am frank
to say that of all the men who assume
the opposing, there was, as long as he
represented that question, no man that
undertook to say he was ridiculous or
captious. He took the plume from them
all, and the men to-day who are assailing
him are the very ones who were formerly
pluming him to the skies as their chief,
their leader. Now, I eay to yon, in per?
fect frankuess, that if Mr. Greeley had
been nominated as President of the
Unitad States on distinctive issues oi
what are termed protection, I should
never have sustained him; bat wheo he
had been nominated on the recognized
grounds of his statesmanship, his pa?
triotism, his pure and unsullied honesty,
amid all the perversities of politics, then
I sm ready to aocept him as my chief,
and to say that I will go to the last ditch
with Greeley."
NBW YORK, July 12.-Horace Greelej
was serenaded at tho Lincoln Chit
Honse, and on his appearance was en?

NBW YORK, July 12.-The World'

Nsw YORK, Joly 12-Evening.-Tb
committee- appointed by the Baltimoi
Convention to annoonoe to Greeley h:
nomination, assembled at the Fifth Av?
nae Hotel, this morning. Every mea
ber was present. Soon after 12 o'olocl
the committee proceeded to the Lincol
Club, to meet Mr. Greeley, who wi
present, with two or three friends, I
receive them. Senator Doolittle, a<
dressing Mr. Greeley, said: The Ni
tioaal D?mocratie Convention had d
volved upon the committee now preset
the pleasing dnty to wait upon him, i
person, to notify bim of his unanimoi
nomination for the Presidency by th
Convention, official notification of wbic
lw now presented to him. The pu
Hobed report of the proceedings show?
that there was great unanimity; but on
those who took part in them had at
?dea of the enthusiasm with which it
waa determined to sustain the Liberal
Republican movement, and to support
the principles contained in the Cincin?
nati platform; and they felt that the
sorest m .ant. of doing so waa to nomi?
nate and cleo* the same candidates.
The Senator then introduced each
member of the oommittoe to Mr. Gree?
ley, and after a cordial greeting, he re?
plied to the announcement. Mr. Gree?
ley said, that, perhaps, it needed more
time and consideration before replying
fully to such an important communica?
tion. It may be that he should have re?
plied iu writing; but inasmuch as he
bad addressed a letter to the committee
of another convention, which bad been
extensively published, perhaps it was
not necessary that he should, at this time,
make a formal and full reply. Ho ac?
cepted the nomination, he said, and with
more pleasure from the gratifying spirit
with which it was presented. His posi?
tion, though a proud one, was neverthe?
less an embarrassing one; but be trusted
this embarrassment was only temporary.
It subjected him to misconstruction on
the part of valued aud life-long friends,
but be felt assured that time would vindi?
cate bis motives aud the disinterested
and patriotic course bo had determined
to pursue, before ho received such hearty
co-operatiou. "While you," Baid Mr.
Greeley, "in making this nomination,
ure not less Democratic, but even more
so than bad you taken the opposite
coarse, I, in accepting it, am as much a
Republican as I ever was." [Applause.]
He was not much accustomed, be said,
to receiving a nomination for President;
if he had been, be probably could have
responded more fitly.
This was all be hud to say, except to
invite the members of the committee, or
as many of tbem as could make it con?
venient, to visit him at his farm, at Chap
paquu. He could assure them of u warm
welcome. He should be there to-mor?
row, aud they oould then consult and
confer more freely than nt thin time.
The committee then withdrew, and Mr.
Greeley made a brief visit to the Nation?
al Committee of Liberal Republicans.
Gov. Gratz Brown arrived at the Fifth

THE DOTY OP THE HOUR. - We have
reaobed that crisis in tho affairs of the
country wbeu tho popul-.r voice, actuated
as it were by one impulse, calls for anion
for the euko of uuion; for tho vindica?
tion of the violated rights nf the States
comprising tbs Uuion aud of the privi?
leges of their respective peoples-locally
iudepoudetir, though united by the Fe?
deral cotnpuct iu a common bond of bro?
therhood.
To wrest the Administration from the
corrupt hands into which it bas fallen,
rebuke thsir despotic practices, and re?
establish tho co-ordinate departments of
tho Governments iu tho exercise of their
constitutional functions, is tho first duty
of all good citizens. Wu are convinced
that the Democracy of the country will
noe hesitate to tight side by side with
men who are animated by similar mo?
tives, and who, though differing politi?
cally on som? points, ugree with thom in
thinking that party consid?r?tiot. s aro of
minor moment when the country is in
deadly peril. And bow fast we aro mov?
ing on the downward path to destruc?
tion, the record of the years that have
gone by since the war was brought to a
close, but too painfully uttests. It needs
no review, 'the South impoverished,
harassed and desolated, bears sorrowful
witness to the teuder mercies of a rule
more cruel and despotin than that of the
Muscovite in Po lund; elections at the
North conducted iu tho presence of the
hirelings of the Administration, armed
with many revolvers, und witina cull of
those bayonets that were iutended to
protect the people, and not to overawe
them in their exercise of their highest
and most sucred privilege; political con?
ventions, pucked in the iuterest of the
Executive, and of th J desperate fuction
that clings to his fortunes, fattens on his
bounty, und is as servile as tbe Roman
Senate once was to tho worst of the
Crowirs, wbeu lewdness and license bore
equal swuy, mid the Pretorian Guards
now represented by 60,000 office-holders
-sold in their camp the Imperial purple
to the highest bidder.
In the spontaneous effort now making
to crush out C? m ut ism, and destroy every
vestige of tho despotism that bas already
invaded tho States and abridged the
liberties of the people, there is a pro?
mise aud an itugury of a return to those
constitutioiihl limitations which the do?
minant faction has treated with con?
tempt. But let no mun imagine that
I be power which Grant and his followers
now wield will be surreudered without a
struggle. Tho contest in which wo are
about to enter will be waged with a bit?
terness and intensity surpassing any yet
known in our political annals. All the
power of au unscrupulous Executive, all
the arts und devices of his desperate fol?
lowers, all that money can do to bribo
and suborn, und all that arms can do to
menace and overawe, will be brought to
bear ugaiust the endeavors of tho oppo?
sition to drive these men from the placas
they have dishonored, and to which they
chug the more tenaciously, well know?
ing tbut if they are beaten now, ibcy
can never hope to renew their baneful
rule, or to revel and riot again upon the
substance of the people.

GRANT'S TREATMENT OP SOLDIERS.
We havu noticed the reply of Mr. John
A. Logan to Senator Sumner, and espe?
cially that part of it where be tells the
latter that the soldiers of the republic
would remember his speech. We think
it would be more logical und senatorial
if be had shown where ho (Sumner)
mis-stated oue fact bearing upon the
conduct of Mr. Grant as the chief magis?
trate of tho nation. During tbe coming
campaign, wo will hear u great deal
about the soldiers, but tho less said
about them tho belter. Never iu the
history of the Uuited States were they
treated more shabbily in the distribution
of offices than by General Grant; never
were there a fewer number, in propor?
tion to the offices in the gift of the Pre?
sident, holding Federal positions. Tho
American people had not digested the
inaugural of the 4th of March, 1869, be?
fore the conqueror of West Virginia, tho
gallant soulier of Iuku, the victor of
Corinth, and the hero of Stone River,
was peremptorily removed to make room
for a third-rate Indiana politician. Bart?
lett and Dix followed after, Hovey and
Sullivan were notified to leave, and
Ewing's head fell into the political bas?
ket on demand of the Washington ring,
notwithstanding the fact that he was a
relative of the general of our armies,
and a gallant, eduoatod soldier himself.
Gleason had to leave Bordeaux, to ac?
commodate a relative of A. T. Stewart's
wife; Farrell was removed because he
deoliued to allow half a dozen Cadiz
rascals to swindle our revenue, and com?
pelled them to pay $102,500 into tho
United States Treasury; King, who, as'
a lieutenant on tho Mississippi flotilla,
did gallant service, who was brought
from China to take charge of a bureau
in the Navy Department, in violation of
the usages and rules oi that branch of
the publio service, in 1869. No mau
bearing tho distinction of a general in
the United States army has ever nursed
hostility towurds brother officers with
tho same intensity ns General Grant.
Every ono of them who aided him to
keep his place as a Mujor-Geuoral of Vo?
lunteers hus been bated by him most
cordially. Tho malevolence of Grant
towards Thomas, Bosecranz, Hancock
and Ruell is too well known to be written
of. - Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON A FRENCH RAIL?
WAY.-Juvisy, on the line from Orleans
to Paris, ban recently been the scene of
a catastrophe singularly resembliog that
which befell the Irish mail in England
three or fonr years ago. A luggage train
was shunting, at the Juvisy Junction,
when it was run into at terrific speed by
the Bordeaux express. The shock, the
journals say, was awful, and the eugine
and leading carriage of the passenger
train mounted on the smashed wagons,
the lading of which was of dried bark.
Ignited by the burning coals from tbe
fu mace, tho bark blazed furiously, and
io a few moments it was impossible to
give any outside aid to those in the flame
surrounded cirriages. The fire seems to
have burned itself out very fiercely and
quickly; and when it moderated a fright
lui spectacle-so eye-witnesses state
was to be seen; scattered limbs, horribly
mutilated bodies, contorted and black?
ened by tho bent, remuins from which all I
semblance of humanity had departed in
tho flames, and fragments of clothing
which suggested still more complete de- !
struction. Tho first accounts may have
been somewhat exaggerated, but the
number of dead does not seem yet to
have been ascertained.
About 100 people assembled, last
night, iii Univeriity Place, iu this city,
in responce to a cull which has appeared
for several days iu the newspapers, in?
viting the friends of the Administration
to attend a "Grant and Wilson banner
raising" in front of the Seventh Assem?
bly District headquarters. At 8 P. M.,
thu banner was raised, aud a cannon was
fired. George W. Clark said that while
they were meeting to endorse the reno?
mination of their honored chief, an
organization was attending at Baltimore
the funeral obsequies of n once powerful
political organization. Mr. Gedney, of
Missouri, said that the second act of the
great comedy uud farco began at Cin?
cinnati would be carried out at Balti?
more. Chas. S. Spencer addressed the
audience, aud predicted the re-election
of G rr. nt by an increased majority. Ile
was followed by the Rev. H. H. Garnett,
who said that America wanted a Presi?
dent who could tell rebels not "What I
know about farming," but "What I
know about fighting."

on the 1th, in which he told his hearers
that he was direct from President Grant;
and was told by the President to come
homo and reform the present State Go?

MORE ARRESTS.-Messrs. William T.
Caldwell aud Samuel E. Williams, resid?
ing iu the upper portion of this County,
were arrested and brought to this place
on last Friday, under charges of petit
larceny, in taking guns belonging to the
State militia, about the time of the elec?
tion disturbance in 1870. They were
carried before a 1'riul Justice, and each
discharged on bis own recognizance, to
appear again for trial on the 16th inst.
The meaning of these arrests is no doubt

INTIMIDATION IN NOKTH CAROLINA.
The Grant party ia making desperate
efforts to control the election in North
Carolina. Abhorred and detested for
infamous tyrannies, perpetrated by ex?
ecutive and judicial agencies, it sees
that the only hope of retaining power is
by the strong hand. Senator Pool says
they Lave the power and are determined
to hold it. We have heretofore referred
io tho system of judicial raids by deputy
marshals and blank warrants, a system
in open defiance of all law and justice,
and which scatters terror through entire
communities. This system has recently
been extended under the auspices of
Senator Pool. Hand-bills have been
recently sent through the mails under
his frank to the Western Counties of the
State, in which the leading candidates
of the conservative party are deuounced
as rebels, robbers and Ka Klux and the
Ku Klux Act is published with its de?
funct provisions as still in force. The
circular goes on to state:
"That all Democrats and conservatives
are regarded by the administration, of
which Gen. Grant is the head, as Ku
Klux, and if any man supports the
Democratic conservative ticket he will
bo looked npon as a Ku Klux, and be
arrested before the election."
Possibly this may deter many good
men from the polls, who know and dread
the corruption and tyranny of the Grant
mercenaries; but it will probably find its
compensation ia stimulating a greater
number to increased efforts to rid the
country of despotic rale.

CAROLINA CLAT-A NEW AND PBOPTT
ABLE INDUSTRY.-The consomption of
Kaolin, or China clay, in this country is
very large, and is daily increasing. Dur?
ing the lost six months, about 2,000 tons
of English clay has been imported. For
the same period, Sooth Carolina has
furnished the same amount, and orders
largely in excess of this are being filled.
What peculiar properties the English
clay possess that defy analysis we do not
know; bat we have before as aa analysis
of the English, German and South Caro?
lina clays, taken from a paper of Dr.
Feuchtwanger. The clay from the last
State-that of South Carolina-is stated
to be, in every respect, equal to that so
largely imported from England. So are
also the Kaolin clays of New Jersey and
Missouri. The clay is used in the manu?
facture of porcelain, of paper and paper
hangings, earthen and Rockingham
ware, paints, mouldings, and for many
other purposes, and it promises to be?
come in time quite a prominent article
of commerce.-Aiken Journal.
The men who were arrested for whip?
ping the Rev. Mr. Callahan, in Reynolds
County, Mo., say they know nothing of
the affair, but that if it be true, the
reverend gentleman only got his deserts
for hin repeated slanders against many
ladies of the neighborhood, and his un?
warrantable interference in political mat?
ters. They deny that any such organi?
zation ns the Ku Klux exists in the Coun?
ty.
Lloyd, recently hung in Georgia for
murder, wrote this jost before he was
executed: "Should anything be written
over me, let it be this: 'Not a criminal,
but the innocent victim of perjured
thieves and murderers, and my blood
apon them to the fourth generation.' "
A colored boy, named Charles Stevens,
had his leg terribly mangled by a train

thought ho will die.
