Th ; news to d iy pans out very much
as ws opined it would yesterday, and
wen the country districts are heard
from the State m:iy be ltepublican after
all.
The great Democratic victory was
predicated on the fact that all the ne
groes were in the cities.
It seems that while many of them
have been workingin the towos they arc
not registered voters there, aud were
obliged to return to the county districts
to vote, some of (hem walkina many
many miles to do so. When the returns
from these districts come in the victory
will bo reduced to a bare majority, if in
deed it prove a on-'prvHiive gain at all.
it:y. i'..M.uii n.
When we first m t Gen. Cunningham,
at Inco!n, two years ago, and were in
troduced to him as the President of the
Senate, we thought hi to a quiet little
man of not much force. When he dis.
played some con-iderable parliamentary
knowledge and skill in that position we
thought, ' well ho i a good presiding
officer, that's all." We begin to suspect
he must b of more strength than we
give him credit for. He must be a man
of some power when it takes the united
abilities of the four leading Democratic
papers of this State to write him down.
Keep at it, gentlemen. The public like
such talk just when impor ant national
matters are in hand, aud are likely to
read your columns.

AFFIDAVIT OF DR IRELAND.
LouiiE Irehiiid, of Unadilia. Otsego
eo'.uny, iSew lork, hemg urnrn, says
that Lewis ( at iniehael. aisoof Loadilla.
whom he has known for six years, has
frequently been in deponent's office in
Unadilla, ami has.-nownd -ponent letters
from lloraee Gn-tley, of New York.-five
or siix in number; and one letter of Ho
ratio Seymour; that deponent did not
readily read Greeley's letters, except the
heading and signature Carmichael be
ing addres-cd as "friend Carmiehael,
in one or more of them whieh letters
deponent held in his han 1. Their con
tents related to matters understood be
tween 'armichael ami Greeley, some of
the letters pas-nig on as thoush con
nected with previous busin-ss ; and one
of the letters inrtfeil. Carmichael to go
to Cincinnati. These letters were shown
to deponent in the last of March or first
of April, 1872. ('armichael then said
to deponent that (wteelry tcoula he nomt
nateil at (Cincinnati, atid the Democrats
irouhl adopt him : that the nnlv point
there was, that Greeley shouhl gel the.

rused Horatio S -ymour's letter, which
he read easily, an i recognized th hand
writing according to bis previous knowl
e,l2'i ot it, as .Vyuiour s. ihe subjects
ot th it letter w-re as follows: It men
tim-d an interview of Carmi;hael ami

ha a prqtsetl, so as to unite persons of
dirlerent views in the coalition movement;
siifve-ded that if Greeley favored this.
it Would tniMtth the wati to the end. De
ponent s strong impression is that Gree
ley's candidacy was mentioned ; but of
that f. does not say positively. J he
time when this letter was read by de
ponent was about the last of March or
first of April. 1872-
The subject had previously been
brought to deponent s attention by I .nr-
michael: but when the letters were
fhown. particularly Greeley's letters,
deponent thought the matter too absurd
to notice ; but after the Cincinnati nomi
natiou he understood their importance.
and endeavored to procure copies. He
would have exposed the matter, except
that he had hopes of procuring the let
ters or conies ot them.
Deponent was informed in December,
LS7I, from the statement of Carmijhael,
that Greeley had promised (.'armichael
the tone of the Ti Hume would b changed
about the fir-t of the year 1872; and
the deponent, on noticing, aw thv change
which statement of laruiiehael depo
nent can prove on competent testimony
of a public officer.
Deponent further remembers that in
one ot Greeley s letter s, Lhase was men
tionej as now feeble and broken down.
Deponent makes this statement on his
honor as a citizen, and because he be
lieves the facts he has mentioned should
be exposed. L. E. IRELAND.

A SECOND CHALLENGE.
We had intended to make a review of
the case we present to-day, but lime and
space do not admit or it. H e think al
doubtless will concede that the case
speaks for it-cT.
The responsibility for disproof is now
placed. Suia 1 talk and hall-way denial
are no Ioniser in order. If Mr. Greeley,
or Seymour, or Hutchins, vs misrepre
sented, we invite him to appeal to the
courts. Lt him sue us for libel, or
slander. We will undertake to prove as
touch better case than we now present
tt" tho rae we hare made t better than
wo promised. Dare they answer this
challenge. W e propose that they try.
POSTSCRIPT. .
The following paragraph from the
Tribune ot yesterday, which we had
missed in our daily glance at that paper,
is called to our attention as we go to
press :
1 he Ringhanipton liepubl'can has for
some weeks endeavored to ordain a no
tice from this journal by a series of fa'
ricwiions which have not even the small
"niieiit of plausibility. It has from day
to dav pretended that it would support
its charces bv letters which it has re
pea ted ly threatened to produce but still
withholds. In vain has its ally, the Even
inn Fast, urged it to produce its evidence
or confess itself mistaken Print your
letter", or acknowledge your slanders!
1 his lournal has been "noticed very
often bv Mr. Greeley, in the Tribune,
during the year pa.-t; and the lesser
trills of that paper, in assuming to
notice" us, are guilty of an imperti
nence, lhey are iikewi-e '.mty or a
deception, u e asked them to deny, by
lu'liontv. of Mr Greeley, or Seymour,
or Hutchins; and they have not been
able to do it. The Tribune is "not an
organ," and does not of course, speak
foi Mr. Greeley. Let us now see what
it will sav if it can sav anything, for it-
elf. We have pointed Mr. Greeley to
Ids remedr. And the mere word of Mr.
Greeley is not henceforth current with
the American people.
Tip-Top, of thePlartsmouth IDrvt.d.

pondeive between Plattaojou'h an I
Chappaqua, in relation to a spu ioi s
orresnondent of the INew lork !.
Greeley's reply as published in the HlR-
ALD is rather lac -nic Om ilia Ber.
Ju'ge McDiil has received the nomi
nation for Congress, over Col. Sapp. in
the 8th Congressional district, Ia. Tho
Council B ufTs Republican (supposed to
started in Col Saop's interest), says,
it shall give McDiil as hearty a support
now, as if he had been the man of their
choice from the first. That's right. I'
ounds sensible, and it is a pity some of
our Nebraska men could not learn ales-
on in the same school.

we should "Let by-gones be by-gones."
Rut. wh'n discussing the candidates, he
cri-s out in holy horror, "Why, sir, your
candidate Wikon, used to be a tvnow
Nothine." 'Verily," said Mr. E. ,
"you do seem to wish to let by-gones be
by-gones.
No by-gones when you speak about
Rebellion, on to Richmond, New York
Riots, Tammany Frauds all by-gones.
Only Wilson's record in only
Grant's Democracy in '56. must not be
by-gones. The opposition is a par'y of
by-gones, forever gone by "that's the
matter."
The Grant men are all accused of
holding office, owning a newspaper or
running a Postoffice. Read this:
The Ohio State Journal says: " We
shall never be able to understand this
"Liberal" party and its convention.
One of the chief objections to the pres
ent order or thins was that there were
editors holding office so the convention
nominated two editors one for Presi
dent the other for Vice-Piesident. Then
the greatest enormity wa the protective
tariff, and they nominated o!d Protective
himself for President
And we might well add that Brown is
an office holder, and Gret ley has always
wanted to be one.

The Greeley and Brown Club of this
place was suddenly and unceremoniously
deprived of the major part of its mem
bers day before yesterday.
The most singular and astonishing re
duction in numbers, that we ever heard
of. It establishes a new rule in Arith
metic, and by inference we may conclude
that the Liberal party have t- ken to
"Addition, Subtraction and Division, (a
la Omaha UerulJ) principally to Sub
traction."
THE MARVEL.
On Monday morning the Club num
bered, it is said, 200. On Tuesday,
there were but 2 , Two oughts had
b -en cut off, left, departed, taken away,
and of course but 2, remained. How's
this for High? Mathematics.
THAT REMINDS ME
When Johnny Brougham re-opened the
old Bowery Theatre with the great play
of Pocahontas the first night was a big
him;. At that titoa this Elitor wai
nothing but a boy and in companv wi;h
the son of a N. Y. E litor we coaxed to
go along to the Theatre that night.
Our Elders, three grave men of let
ters, bad complimentanca ol course
and finally let us youngstees go. Tt e
three Editors and a party of jolly fellows
had all dined together that afternoon
and by the time the curtain rolled up
things were lively in that box at the old
Bowery.
When King Powhattan i Brougham) in
a fit of absence of mind, sat down on hi8
big war club full of tacks and things, the
Senior member of the party, now a
shining Literary light in Philadelphian
circles, could stand it no longer ; bat
with a regular comanche war whoop
dashed his wig on the stage, almost in
Broughams face. When remonstrated
with about his exuberance of spirits,
his only excuse was "Porter told me
to."
Readers, this is our only excuse for
the first story on this page. "Pot
told us to. He swore it wa true, and
he never lies with his little hatchet, and
you know it.

In view of Mr. Greeley's revolting
purpose of favoring the payment of pen
sions to rebel soldiers, should he be
elected to the presidency, what guaranry
have the people that he would not also
recommend the payment of foui hundred
millions of dollars to the ex-slavo hold
ers, as compensation for the loss of their
laves, in accordance with the proposi
tion he made in 1S64 ? This is a matter
which deserves to be carefully pondered.
Greeleyism, installed in the Executive
hair and pervading the national admin-
inistration. would ioon double the bur-
lens of every tax-payer in this nation.

A great burly, hearry farmer frani the
southwest came to town last week, and
our "iti." gathered round him.
"How's crops?"
"First rate, never better."
"Good wheat this year?"
"Oh, yes, go thirty bushels to tho
acre.
"Much rain?"
"Not too much, just helped the weeds
little."
"How's politics down your way?"
"Wall, don't hear much about 'en"),
have to work ; can't git time to talk
politics."
Any Greeley men down your way?'
"Greeley men, what's them? '
"Liberals, don't you know?"
"Liberal man ! yes. I'm called a liberal
man by my neighbors."
Joy o'erspread their countenances,
happiness pervaded their beings. Here
was their man, and they opened :
"Good, give us your hand, you'll vole
for Greeley."
Vote for Greeley ! w os's he?"
"Why, Greeley, don't you know Grec-
ev. our candidate ?"
'I've lived there nigh onto fifteen
years, and know near about every mau
in the county, and I never heard
of Greeley. No sir, won't vote for a
man I don't know. Good-bye."

The ProinciaI Correspondent, the im
mediate organ of Bismarck says in a re
cent number :
"We notice with intense regret that
certain politicians and newspapers in the
United States arc unscrupulous enough
to array the German voters in that Ke
pu'-Iic against I 'resident Grant on ac
count of the course he pursued toward
Germany during the war with trance.
We have said tt before, and we repeat it
n w: l nis ijovernment nas rounu no
fault with the conduct of President
Grant towards our country during the
war. On the contrary, he has given na
many and valuable proof of genuine
sympathy for our cause.

The election was one of the quietest
for years. Business was generally sus
pended. A large vote was polled
through the greatest exertions of both
parties. Full returns of the city are not
yet in. Tne second ward gives Merriman
C9 majority conservative gain of 154.
The hi st Republican gaia of 50 votes
is reported from Rogue Swan, Holden
township. Wilson county gives 200 ma
jority for Merriman.

are received. It is conceded here by
nearly all the leading men of both par
ties that JMernman has carried the State
The latest just received from Concord
says, in twelve townships in Cabarrus
county, Merriman has a gain of 203. A
lew Republicans here say the result is
doubtful, but the Star estimates Merri
man s majority will be about 5000. Tho
Journal's estimate is a little higher
The Post, as a Republican paper, con
cedes that Merriman is elected by a
small majority.

Ihe Herald, editorially, cays it is on-
safe to hazard a prediction as to the re

and that after all it is possible the negro
counties may give the State to the Re
publicans.
I be lnbune, editorially, thinks the
returns don't warrant any positive state
ment as to the result; that the gains in
the cities may prove deceptive, bein
caused by the return of the negroes to
their country places ot registry.
