COLUMDUS, OHIO, September 20.
Horace Greeley arrived hero at 10 this
morning. A large crowd of perBons
gathered at tho depot when the train
arrived. John G. Thompson introduced
Mr. Greeley, who was received with
cheers, and spoke about five minutes.
Ho said in substance, that more than
seven years having passed since the
closo of tho civil war, it seemed uo more
than reasonable that its attendant pro?
scription and evil should oeuse; that
thera was now no 'good reason why the
American people should bate one another,
or should proscribo one another. Some
said there was a part of the people who
should not voto on account of their par?
ticipation in the war; we deny that any
should bo proscribed because of the war.
j The opposition say this class are few; we
say, "No, sir; there are thousands of
this class among tho best citizens in
Arkansas ulono." G on eral Seigel, seven
years ago, wrote from South Carolina
that the principal reason that recon?
struction was a fnilure was because the
men of property were proscribed, and
not allowed to vote; while the ignorant
classes could vote away their property.
The time had fully come when all should
say to these thousands, who were against
us, come forward and help us, free as we
aro, to rebuild the waste places di our
country. This is what we understood by
reconciliation. [Cheers.] Nono pro?
scribed and none under the ban. Some
ask, "Do you want us to vote for rebels
for offloa?" I say, "Yoa are asked to
allow all to vote for whom they please."
How shall a mao be a rebel who, seven
years ago, returned to bis allegiance,
took the oath, and has since been a good
citizen, and done all be eau to build up
the country? I hold it as an error ti
call such rebels. Mr. Greeley concluded
by saying, let there bo no proscription,
but let us all, white or black, unite ti
build up our country. [Cheers.]
Mr. Greeley was obliged to bring hi:
remarks to an abrupt couohieion, on aa
count of the noise mude by the prepara
tion s of the train to depart. The crowe
called for more, and Mr. Greeley mad?
his appearance at the end of the cai
again, but just then- the locomotive wai
hitched on the our, which was pullet
some distance up the track, to allow au
other car to be attached. After all wo
quiet again, Gov. Walker, of Virginia
was called upon, and said: Foliow-oiti
zens, I am glad to meet you this brigb
September morning. I am glad to sc
before me so many intelligent, hones
voters, who will, I doubt not, cost thei
suffrages for Mr. Greeley. [Cheers.
The Old Dominion has been iu the pas

Wherever shs has led, the South ha

Impolite-for persons to whisper

A WABN?W?.-It moy seem strange
to many that our Soientifid Oongress,
while iu session hore, did not endeavor
to enlighten us a little iu relation to ic
stiuot or reason or habit, or whatever it
iu, which often causes wonderment at
the intelligence often shown by animals
of the brute creation. There is ono pe?
culiar instance which has recently oome
to our knowledge, uud which causea a
good deal of gossip iu the circles where
the parties are known. A few years
ago, one of our prominent men changed
his lot in life from that of single cussed?
ness iuto one of wedded bliss, and for a
few years he was all that could be wished
tor by a devoted wife. Previous to his
martiage, be told tho darliug of his heart
that evory time ho thought of her his
heart flopped up and down liko a churn
dasher, that r?cusations of unutterable
joy capered over it like young goats on
a stable roof, &o., aud lots of other non?
sense. Both wore as huppy as bumble?
bees in flower-time, and all went woll
uutil this Bpring, when the "hubby"
complained of his health considerably,
and thought outside exercise would im?
prove it. So, investing in a horse and
baggy, he often drove out evenings, but
bis wife was unable, on account of house?
hold duties, to accompany him. This
continued two or three evenings in each
week, uutil within a short time past,
wbeu tho wife thought she would take
some fresh air herself one afternoon;
and, taking out the horse and buggy,
drove leisurely out towards the Northern
portion of the city, intending to take a
short drive along the Durango Bond.
After driving past tho street railway de?
pot, it was with Borne difficulty that she
could persuade the horse from turning
to the right, aud taking the road leading
along the South side of the driving
park. On several other occasions, the
sumo peculiar inclination on the part of
the horse was observed, and tho wife
thought ooo day ehe would tuke a friend
and lot the horse follow his bent. On a
bright afternoon, last week, she invited
a female friend, and the two started
out. The horee started at a brisk trot
Northward, showing a desire to stop at
each of the breweries, but moro than
ever determined to take the right-hand
road at the race track. Ho was allowed
his way, and trotted leisurely over tho
valley road until a large brick building
on the bill-side loomed into view.
Thinking it a hotel, und as the horse
showed more than ever bis inclination to
turu to the right, they determined to
stop there for refreshments, the wife re?
marking that "Dear George had proba?
bly often stopped there for the samo
purpose." They sooa arrived a short
distance from it, and the wife alighted,
while her friend remained in the buggy.
"My gracioual" exclaimed the friend,
"what a number of servant girls for a
country tavern I and bow gaudily dress?
ed." "My God!" ejaculated tho wifo,
with eyes standing as wide open as collar
doors ia a country village, wbile tho
truth seemed to flash on her in a second,
and leaping into tho buggy, she turned
tho horse's head townward, driving him
at a terrible pace, as though pursued by
demons. That evening, there was a
"scene," in that household. There is a
skeletoa ia that closet; no more evening
rides are taken, and a horse aud buggy
are for sale cheap.-Dubuque Telegraph.
There oro some people who cao't un?
derstand tue position o? the New York
Herald on the Presidential question. It
is as plain to us as is the noonday eua.
The proprietor of the Herald is reported
to have made some heavy bets ou Grant.
Ia addition to this, young Bennett, with
characteristic weakness, worked himself
into a fever of enthusiasm over the re?
sult of tho elections in Vermont and
Maine. Thia fever is now subsiding,
however, and the Herald is only waiting
to bea:* from Indiana, Pennsylvania and
Ohio. After the 8th of October, that
paper will be as "straight as a shingle"
on the Presidential iasue. Bennett will
"hedge" his bets; and then ha will bo as
nice a Greeley man us tho managing
editor of the Tribune himself.
A despatch from lie ri in says that the
Government bus issued a second circa-'
lar, in still more threatening terms than
the original ono, against emigrants, who,
it declares, will be treated as outlaws
over whom a special surveillance and su?
pervision has been instituted. Despite
the menaces of tho Government, emigra?
tion from Germany bas been only slight?
ly affected.
Tho editor of a religious paper-proba?
bly Zion s Herald, of Boston-says: "We
consume millions of gallons of distilled
spirits annually." Wo don't believe him.
There is no doubt that bo drinks to ex?
cess; but if ho gets on tho outside of 200
or OOO gallons annually, bo is doing as
much as tho rest ol' us.
A Treasury official recently malo nu
open boast that "wo have a dead sure
thing of this campaign. Why the as
BCBBineut of tho office-holders alone pro?
duce over $2,000,000 to help cleot
Grant." Happy office-holders] Such
fun for them.

TOB OAKES AMES BRIBERY.-Tm:
TRUTH ABOUT THE MATTEB.-The New
York Sun, of Tuesday last, publishes the
following:
A meeting ot certain prominent
Graut managers, including, as we are in?
formed, Heory Wilson, candidate for
Vice-President, took place in this city
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Friday
evening last. Oakes Ames, member of
Congress for the Second District ot Mas?
sachusetts, and bribery agent of the
Credit Mobilier, was present by. special
request. The purpose of thia meeting
was to obtain from Ames a broad, square
and comprehensive denial of the* facts
stated io his letters to Colouel H. S.
MoComb, presented and sworn to among
the testimony in the ouse now pending
in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
and also of the list of members of Con?
gress bribed by Ames with Credit Mo?
bilier stock, which Colonel MoComb
copied on February 28, 18G8, in Ames'
presence, from a list which Ames took
ont of his pocket and showed him.
Such a broad, square, comprehensive
aud complete denial was prepared for
Ames' signature, and it was intonded to
publish it in the morning journals of
Saturday last, and to telegraph it all
over the Union. 'Bat when it came to
the point of signing and sending out this
enormous lie, Mr. Ames did not do it.
The evidoDce in tho hands of Colonel
McComb, and the evidence, part of
which is within our knowledge, and part
of which has never been produced in
any pablio manner, is so overwhelming,
that Ames felt it to be impossible to sign
and pnblish such a lie. He refused tho
demand made upon him by those whom
he had bribed aud by the managers of
his party. The denial which was to
have boon published with Amos' signa?
ture was thus of necessity abandoned,
and the only denials thut are now to be
made are evasive and deceitful ones, like
those of Speaker Blaine and Henry Li.
Dawes. These denials, as oar readers
have ample means of convincing them?
selves, are nothing but confessions of
the villainy.
No denial can now bo worth anything
that is not signed and sworn to by Oakes
Ames and by the men whom he has
accused of receiving the bribes, and
confirmed by otbor evideuce of the most
substantial nature. Mere personal de?
nials, such as might have satisfied the
public a fortnight ugo, will now answer
no purpose except to convince the peo?
ple that tho party denying is really
guilty.
THE HERMIT OF THE SIERRAS.-As Joa?
quin Miller ia the "Poet of the Sierras,"
Sandelphon de Burgh is the hermit of

account in tho Virginia City Chronicle.
Upon the nearly inaccessible cliffs of
those mountains be has a small hut, pic?
turesquely decorated with ornaments
that have lost something of their pristine
beauty, but which have been of inesti?
mable vulue-in faot, as Mr. Mioawbsr
would say, with human skulls. He lives
alone, a veritable hermit and bas an
ugly way of shooting at sight ut any
stranger that intrndes upon his privacy.
His guests are, therefore, few and select,
and none of them stay long, unless they
take up their abode permanently on bia
premises. Once eveiy year, this strange
and eccentric being visits Virginia City
for ammunition, and then he is the ob?
served of all observe?, the oynosure ol
neighboring eyes. The gambler looks
up from his cards, and forgets tho noe in
bis sloovo until too late to play it, and
the children run for their mothers.
With his red huir hanging in natural
ringlets over his shoulders; his clothes
looking like those of Bip Van Winkle,
after bis sleep of twenty years, and a
long rifle over bis shoulder, he appears
for an hour, and then vanishes to the
mountains ngaiu.
Thc Princess Beatrice, the fifth und
ouiy unmarried daughter of Queen Vic?
toria, has been betrothed for marriage tc

formed by cabio. Should the union
take place it will servo to biud uaotboi
nohlo family-that of tbs Duke ol
Sutherland-in still closer union to tht
throne of Britain. Her Majesty is ?
prudent matron.
