One felt ike plueking time by the wing to arrest its Bight.

Some of them preserve the outward @ppearance of cheerfulness, or, as Senator Btockton says, “Are whistling to keep up their courage,” but in their heart of hearts they bemoan the falling fortunes of their chief, in which their own are so closely bound up. Ex- Coliector Murphy professes to be as sanguine as ever, but Surveyor Cornell is moping about, a gloomy, disappointed man. In the even- $ng he secks out the most dark and lonesome cor- mers on the porch of the West End Hotel and there ommunes with his melancholy thoughts regarding ‘the serions defection in the Republican General | Wommittee, of which he isthe chairman, Greeley ‘ig all the rage, Most of the prominent men I have «met talk Creeley. General Runyon, a democrat, who has been a candidate for Governor of New Jersey, is enthusiastic in favor of Greely. In con- versation he told me that he entirely approved of ‘the opinions expressed by Senator Stockton in the interview published in the HERaLp; that he, too, to the city on Monday and marshalled his forces for the fray on Wednesday, and having suc- ceeded to his own satisfaction, he took the morn- ing train for the springs, and his home and haunts in New York were deserted, Ex-Judge William C, Barrett, whom the Grant men would have made President of the Apollo Hall organization, was so full of important business he could not be found at his ofiice, and as he “dined out” he was “not at home” in the evening. His views on the situation could, therefore, only be guessed at. But his posi- tion may be inferred from the use of hisname by his friends, Several other members of the com- mittee. were hunted up, but they were all either away rusticating or too busy or too careless to talk about the great cvent. Mr. W. H. Wickham, diamond broker, of Maiden lane, President of the meeting at Appolo Hall, had two objects in view in calling the meeting together, ‘The first was to get an expression on the Presiden- tial candidates, and the other was to get Senator James O'Brien to “show his hand,” He failed in the first, but not in the second.

A gentleman, named Leech, was @riving a two-wheeled horse-cart, with his in- tended—Miss Agnes Rennie, one of the handsomest young ladies at the Branch—when his horse be- tame wild and unmanageable.

The Chief of Maryland on the Presidential Contest. GREELEY OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. Senator Sumnor’s Letter Without Influ- ence on the Negroes. GREELEY AND GRANT COMPARED. Have the Democrats Gone Over to Republicanism ? LonG BRAncn, Angnst 1, 1872. The opinion of one of the most distinguished men of the country, the chief of the noble State of Mary- land, cannot fail to have great weight in this Pres- idential crisis. Governor Whyte is not one of those who want to “hide their light under a bushel,” but rather desires that his political opinions should be open to the scrutiny of all men. I had, therefore, no diMcuity in mducing the Governor to express his views on the pending contest. The interview was a pleasure, not a task, to me, for Governor Whyte’s presence 1s calculated to excite sympathy in all those who approach him, He has a kindly, sensitive, intellectual face, and the manners of a high-toned gentleman, I began by inquiring :— “How are Horace Grecley’s chances in Mary- land?” “Tam satisfied that Greeley will get the entire democratic vote in Maryland, and the conservative party in the State, which has been acting with us since 1866, will go unanimously for him, The demo- crats had no dificulty in going with them, because they themselves inaugurated the same kind of con- servative movement in Maryland which took place in Missouri, and they stand in the same position as the Missouri peopie. They will send STRAIGHT-OUT DEMOCRATS to the Electoral College, and all the democratic nominees for the six Congressional districts will be elected. I was not originally in favor of the Greeley movement, having been always a straight democrat of the old school. I believe that the desire for change through- out the country in national affairs could have been made available for the clection of a democrat, like Hendricks, or Hancock, or Thur- man, or any man who held the same opinions as they hold, and that their fidelity to the principles of constitutional government entitled them to such a distinction, until I saw that there was uo alterna- tive but the consolidation of all the elements of the opposition to Grant, by the adeption of the Cincin- nati plaform and its caudidates. It seemed to me, therefore, to be absolutely neces- sary that we ' should openly accept the Cincinnati platform, as it contains so many democratic features, and regularly nominate its candidates as our own, That being done, the democrats in Maryland are of my way of thinking, and haye all zeaiously entered into the movement. GREEPLY EULOGIZED. “What do you think, Governor, of Horace Greeley, personally ¢” “Tam satisfied of his integrity and his great in- dustry, and that he will devote himself to the ad- ministration of his office with the same iidelity that he has discharged his duties as the editor of the Trivune, He will see that integrity, attention to eee roper ppp ive wan of the rights of the | public will be found in every department. It is not to be doubted that he will call about him as his Cab- inet men of high character and standing in the com- munity, who will be neither engaged in con- tracts directly nor permit any of their subordinates to have interest in them.’ “Do you regard Horace Greeley’s election as al- most certain ?”? “The demonstrations made by Sumner and Banks and Trumbull and Schurz and the prominent liberal republicans, together with tne 3,000,000 of democratic votes, can hardly fail to secure the elec- tion of Horace Greeley. The elections in Indianaand Pennsylvania will undoubtedly determine the Presidential election, and I believe that both Buck- alew and Hendricks—with both of whom I am inti- mately acquainted, having served with them in the Senate—will certainly be elected. News which I re ceived yesterday from Pennsylvania satisfies me beyond a question of Buckalew’s great success. ‘These two States will go democratic in October and for Greeley in November, ‘As gocs Pennsylvania } 80 goes the Union’ ts the old saying, which has never failed in my day.” GOVERNOR WHYTE ON GRANT. hat is your opinion of General Grant as the next Presidential candidate 7” “He has no horizon but his own personal com fort. He seems to be the most thoroughly selfish man that ever held public station. He has an idea that the offices of the country are created for his ersonal aggrandizément. His administration asts that it has paid off a large portion of the national debt, ignoring the people who furnished the money. ‘Take, jor instance, our own State of Mary- land, which was, in 1841, In a hopeless condition, financiaily. Our’ people ‘took upon themselves} almost unsupported, the whole burden of tax- | ation, redeeming their public faith, and have gone’ on paying their and clevatin the State credit, but the oitcers of the State have never claimed credit for handling the people's money. They have given credit to the people for paying the taxes, There is but little virtue in belug the conduit Helo conveying money from the pockets of the people into the pockets of the shod- dy contractors who now hold the public debt. The virtue is in the oa who hw orne without a murmur these iniquitous exactions.” ON SENATOR SUMNER'S LETTER. “Will not Senator Sumner’s letter have a great inftuence on the negro vote!” “Summer's letter will make little difference with | the negro vote; they are thoroughly educated in | the Union League to support nobody but the re. ) publican radical candidsté, They are just as likely to abuse Senator Summer, as having deserted them and gone over to the democratic party, as they | abused Grecley, ‘The same argument is made now | as it was before—that all opposition to the adminis- | tration is by those who wish to drive the slavery, and it will take a great many divide their vote.

It existed in Jefferson's day, and it will exist as long as We live, “Senator Sumner is rather sever Grant, don't you taink so, Governor “In regard to his assault on the President, it is almost too flerce to have weight with moderate people. It is true that the entire subordination of all the departments of the government to his own | personal advantage puts Grant betore the people in the most unenviable light. No man who had a high estimate of public virtue would atlow himself TO ACCEPT PRESENTS from citizens who are likely to be applicants for public patronage under him, nor would he allow the public ofices placed temporarily under his control to be fillpd by his owu relations and the connections of his family.” ON THE NOWTH CAROLINA ELECTION, “Will the North Carolina election, in your opinion, have 4 decisive inftuence on the Pres.deimtial con- test?" hould the democratic party be defeated in North Caroiina it would have, in my jadg- ment, a powerful influence upon the No- vember election, because it has been hoped and » expected that the great revolution of feeling against the present administration would manilest itself more In the Southern States than elsewhere, and It will settle beyond a question the fact whether the colored vote is to be divided between Greeley and Grant or to be thrown ta a compact | mass in November for the present administration, Should thedemocrats carry North Carolina it will encourage the friends of Greeley everywhere, and will satisfy the doubtfnl that neither money nor intimidation nor the use of the bayonet can pny longer gontrol popular eiection In the Unite States.” What do you think, Governor, of the mapner in which the election is conducted by the radicals in North Carolina?” ‘om all we can learn every means has been re- jorfel to by the administration to stifle public opinion, to pervert facts and to bolster up the car- pet-baggers in their entering of the South, The | ‘use of the judiciary department by means of on President INDICTMENTS AND PROSBCUTIONS, which never jn this cougtry In former times have RW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1872-WITH SUPPLEMENT, resorted to, has Ween availed of with- out stint, and men with indictments over them, who t have been influen this election, have mn silenced the fear Being torn from their families and ed in the Albany Penitentiary.

A political man known as Marten, whose house is located at Barton, Says that Grant 1s a fraud, and too fond of reward, So he’ just vote for Greeley, that's sartin. Forty-one republicans of Girard, Pa., have signed a call for a Greeley club. A young Brooklyn man of renown, whose name is well known in that town, Called his father a cuss, and—well he did wuss, 1Cos he won’t vote for Greeley and Brown. Edmund Rice, of St. Paul, while earnestly desir- ing the election of Greeley, says he cannot be a candidate for Congress, % Our planks are peace, our platform peace $ On that we firmly stand; Thieving must stop and discord cease, While love must rule the land, ‘The Postmaster of St. Paul, Minn., who claimed Congressman Eldridge for Grant, having said that there was not in Red Wing, “a singlo man who ever claimed to be a republican who will vote for Greeley,” a list of nincty-one names is forwarded for his consideration, An Albany statesman of learning, who was said to be very discerning, Said, “If old Horace G. isn’t U. 8. A. P. In March, you may set me a burning.” The Dubuque Times enjoys a federal office and wants Grant elected. The editor, therefore, nails “an electioneering Carmichael” about Grant’s wealth, saying:— General Grant for several years was upon large pay as an army oilicer, which, with a man of his economical habits at that time, must have per- mitted large savings. A lively young sailor of Afton, whose living was sailing a craft on. “If there is one,” said he, ‘who don’t vote for Greeley, He certainly must be a daft un.” The Clinton (lowa) Herald has preserved a digni- fled silence about ‘‘no Greeley republicans” in that quarter since the call of a Liberal County Conven- tion, signed by seventy-five of the best known re- publican voters.

Captain Simon Drum, formerly Mayor of Alle- gheny, Pa., and an old war-horse in the republican party, has declared himself for Greeley and reform. The German Greeley clubs at Springfield, Il, count a membership of seven hundred and fifty-one voters. Alexander Mitchell, of Mi!waukee, reports that Greeley is golng to carry both Wisconsin and Min- nesota. Ademocrat living at Brandt, once a steadfast ad- herent of Grant; But disclosures of late have decided his fate— Now Greeley’s the man, and not Grant. Ex-Senator Doolittle will go from North Carolina to Maine, and from thence to California, speaking for Greeley. A Methodist preacher of Bangor keeps on saying, without showing languor, That it will be a sin if Chappaqua don’t win— He don’t care a cent for Grant’s anger. The Dubuque Herald (Greeley) significantly says:—“Hon. W. B. Allison (republican) has no time to bother his head over politics now. He is build- ing an addition to his house. We trust this expla- nation will be sufficient for the anxious Grant men, who are indoubt about him, Business is business.” A lunatic native of Caldwell got one day recently mauled well For saying that he wonldn’t vote for Greeley, And they pelted that man out of Caldwell. Postmaster Keyes, 6f Madison, Wis., wrote to a political friend in the western part of our State that “with the exception of a few stragglers the Grant column is moving on with assured hopes of success ;"* to which the political friend replied, “The column may be moving on, but you ought to just come over here and see the stragglers.” The boy stood on the burning deck, His name was Enocn Arden; He waved aloit his old white hat And cheered for Doily Varden, The Chicago Tribune (Greeley) says it has been for some time well known that Hon, John F, Farns- worth, Representative in Congress from the Fourth | district in Minois, has been deeply disgusted with the administration of Genera! Grant. The period of | this disgust dates back far beyond the nomination | of Mr. Greeley. In a late conversation General Farnsworth said, in replyeto a question whether he should vote for Greeley :—“I cannot say; I may not live till November. But, so sure as Ido live, I | shall vote for Mr. Greeley.” Adds the Tridbune:— “Any one who knows John Farnsworth knows that when fully aroused he can speak his mind very freely and plainly, and on this occasion he did so most effectually.” This is from a confidence Greeley poet :— So all the B yh oe sing, Down with Grant!

Fs The Pittsburg Gazette publishes a letter from & veteran editor (D. N. White) on the candidacy of Horace Greeley, in the course of which Mr. White saysi— As between Grant and Greeley, if the question ‘was now open as to the choice of the republican candidate I should prefer Grant. I find all my pleasure in chickens, In hearing their innocent talk, In seeing the rippling brook run, And watching the smooth gravel walk ; In hearing the red oxen low, As off to the meadows they hie; While the tall chimney swallows the swallows, As into its black flue they fly. “One moment rampant and rash—the next weak and cowardly.’—A “Veteran Editor” on Horace Greeley. ‘There are men who most always are snecring At Chappaqua’s wonderful farm; Ah, little they know what it costs me ‘To clothe me and keep myself warm. All day I must yump at the pumpkin, And at eve I the weevil weave, Spin ying and turn up the turnip, ‘And bind them tight in a sheaf, “Day's ar breakin’! “What day?’ ‘Horace Day.” “He be smothered! Ithought you meant Horace Greeley.” The point les in an india-rubber telescope. Let chicken thieves ride in a carriage, Let cabbage-heads ride in a cab; I'd rather raise hob on a hobby From Chappaqua to the Punjab, I want to bestride a horseradish, A casque of pig-iron on By head, And sweep through the land of the living, Down into its realm of the dead. Between the two Horaces—Day and Greeley—the People were likely to be much harassed, until the labor reformers, “‘having accomplished the object of their expedition,” retired, and Day really broke. Fox this world is so sad and so lonely! Not a pumpkin its sympathy shows, Not a cucumber sobs with my sighin’, Not a horse-bush will weep with my woes; Oh, fie on the heart of the cabbage! Oh, fiddle for folly and sin! Farewell to the earth and its sorrows! Gape, graveyard! 1 fain would turn in! The New London Str says that Charles Sumner is evidently troubled with worms. ‘Mr. Jones,” said @ lady to a gentleman (the story is not new), “which do you prefer, sparrows or worms *” “Dunno! replied the gentleman, “A-w!a-w!

Two democratic Grant Clubs have been formed in Galveston, Texas. The campaign machinist has reached Fort Wayne, where Sergeant Edward Kennedy grinds off a verse like the following:— Why are the democratic leaders Now supporting Horace Greeley? Because they all want office: That is their object really. Cnorus—What do the liberals mean? What are the democrats about? And tell us, Horace Greeley, Can you carry the North and Sout’? Says the Bath (N. Y.) Courier:— ‘While the democracy are shouting over the acces- sion to their ranks of former republicans, they seem to forget that thousands of democrats are en- listing under the banner of Grant and Wilson, ‘They have exulted over a list of some sixty repub- licans in Wellsville, Alleghany county, who support Greeley and Brown, and now to dampen their ai dor the Grant men come out with a call for a mee ing to organize a Grant Club with a lst of names exceeding the entire republican vote of 1868 by 120.

At five o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the spice mill of Mr. N. B, Beede, No.“63 Front street, in this city.

Ex-Governor Downey's Views—Opinion of Gens, eral Grant's Administration—Mr. Greeley’s | Strength on the Pacific Coast—The Lib- eral Republicans—Position of the _ j Germans— Goat Island. Ex-Governor Downey, of California, who was @ delegate to the National scene quareancay has been stopping a few days in the city, on his wi back to the Pacific coast. He was one of the firs! prominent democrats to declare unreservedly favor of Greeley, and is therefore gratified the result of the deliberations ore B - Whatever slight differences of opinion existed month in the ranks of the party as to the wisest course to pursue are now entirely composed, general desire that a direct nomination of liberal republican candidates should be made been met, and this result, Mr. Downey!s conv! will promote perfect harmony in California all classes who long for a change in the gove: of the country.

' The gencral opinion in California is that Grant’ administration, both foreign and domestic, is 4 dead failure. While he sould not be held personally; responsible for the acts of his appointees, yet he has encouraged the belief that he elther approve: ! oftheir misconduct or is influenced entirely much by family ties, to the prejudice of the public service and discredit of the country, by re! them in office.

THE LOOKOUT. : California, in the opinion of Governor Downey, ascertain for Greeley as New York or Kentucky. It was carried last September by the admin istration party in consequence of such scheme ‘3 as that practised at Mare Island, and _ parti because Governor Haight, the democratic c* - didate for Governor, had imported into a | campaign railroad questions with which 0 party had nothing to do. The election in 1860 f sulted ina democratic success, and with the e: perience of last year all extraneous and mi chievons persons will be carefully excluded duria; the present campaign.

They serve principally in Arizonia and New Mexico, bat some of the regiments reached the Southern States, One of these was commanded by Colonel West, who id now United States Senator from Louisiana. The Governor lives at Los Angeles, where he ts Prest« dent of the Farmers’ and Merchants’ and is, besides, the owner of the Santa « Gertrudio ranche, containing twenty thousanc ry acres of splendid land. He is not a politician, ay a business man, following various pursuits, and als views may be taken as being free from prejraice,' 5 the only desire on his part being, as a citizen, . ail in his power to relieve the country, particuls..y: the Southern States, from the great wrongs they, sutfer under General Grant’s administration, H knows the sentiments of the people of the Pacifi | coast well, and is satisiied that Secretary Bout. well’s views as to keeping open the bloody chasmy of the war will meet their utter reprobation. They, are unwilling to see continued in the South a ty- rannical system that only defers to a greater len; of time the re-establishment of Just relations with the North, and, most of all, will they oppose the un- wise attempt to array the negroes against theim white fellow citizens, SENATOR CASSERLY, ) The Central Pacific Railroad gets the credit of ex- ercising vast influence on political matters in Calle fornia, but Mr. Downey has reason to belleve that the corporation will take no part in the presel campaign. A Legislature is to be chosen who ae to select a successor to Mr, Casserly in tne Unit States Senate. He unquestionably stands ote in public favor, The people are well satisfied with his course in Congress, r. Casserly has proved him- self to be a faithful guardtin of the interest of hig constituents, and has maintained a high positto: i | for integrity and ability among his colleagues well us before the couniry at large. He yields . cordial support to Mr. Greeley, and, if not taking prominent part at the Baltimore Convention, it rag recause he desired that the gentlemen who came as delegates so great a distance should pe ned 1} the more honorable and prominent positions, Mr. Casserly will undoubtedly be the choice of the democracy to be his own successor, DECEPTIVE REPORTS, The reports sometimes given, apparently authens tic, are not always reliable as to the political prose i} pects in different States. For instance, the views “ || of a gentleman called Governor McCook, and who represented as a long resident of Catifornta, no’ going the rounds of the press, would lead the publia to belicve thata different state of things exista from what is here described. Goyernor McCook, it ever a resident of California, must have been go for avery brief period, and that very recently, He is unknown among the public men of the State, and was not at any time identified with its poiltical atfairs, Such promment persons as ex-Governor Chellis, Frank M. Pixley, Captain Thomas Gray, John A. Mediynn (brother of Rev. Dr. McGlynn, off tls qliy), republicans, and Colonel J. P. Hoge, Wit liam Hayes, John 8, Bagot Dennis Lyons, General Colton, Phillip A. Roach, k, J, 0. Kerven, J. We Cotfreth and many others are warmly enlisted in favor of Greeley. The views of Governor Downey may be accepted as those of an expe-~ rienced, impartial and just man, who disclaims any ill feeling towards General Grant, but, on the othe! hand, entertains for the Chief Magistrate of th nation all due and proper respect.
