DEATH OF HORACE OSEELEV. r Onrnews dispatches this morning an- nounce a not unexpected event the death of the distinguished editor In-chief of the New York Tribune, and late candidate for the Presidency of the United States- Horace Greeley. The reports of his 111- nefa for a week past, though cautiously and liopafuUy given, were of a grave tenor, In dicating that the robust frame and masterly intellect alike were laboring under profound depression, and on yesterday eve ning at. Tarrytown, New York, the end came "consciously and peacefully," says the telegraph. Scare ly had the Amer ican people turned from the annual .Thanks giving, when thsy are called to mourn the loss of one of the most eminent citizens of the Republic, and one whose loss at this Juncture may well be deemed a public calamity. The general familiarity with Mr. Gree- ley's career enhanced by his recent prom. inonce in the eyes of the country pre cludes tho necessity of extended biographic detail. He was a native of New Hamp shire and of humble parentage, and would have reached bis sixty-second year in Feb ruary next. By the time ha was of adult age, he was a printer, and like everything else that he was, ho was a good one. After a year or two spent on the provincial press, he entered New York city with a scanty purse and scarcely a change in his ward robe, unknown, and unfriended save by his own steadfast soul and manly mind. After a year or two spent at the compositor's case, lie established the "Morning Post," the first penny paper ever issued, but this venture in journalism soon failed. In a brief time, this was seconded by the "New Yorker" a weekly political and literary sheet, which, in connection with editorial labor on several other journals, engaged his attention until 1810. In this year, ho issued the "Log Cabin," a campaign paper in the interest of the Whig party which rose to power In the autumn of that year. Iu this time, his frauki incisive pen the master ot a sterling style of writing, and teeming with bold thoughts had achieved an enviable repu tation. His accurate observations, prodi gious memory, and trenchant views of pub lic affairs had made him an ally sought by the leading politicians of the school to which he belonged, and the foundation of his subsequent brilliant journalistic career was securely laid. In 1841, the Now York Tribune appeared, and its advent marked an epoch in the his tory of American journalism. It was from that day to this, Horace Greeley in type, and it is not Invidious to say that it was the ablest and most widely influent ill news paper ever printed. Others of its great contemporaries in this country may have exceded it I some features in enterprise and indiscriminate variety of matter; and some of the European journals may hare been more scholaily and profound in edi torial disquisition, and graced with mora critical polish; but the Tribune stood in tho front rank in all the departments of a great newspaper, and scarcely a number, until -within the past six months, failed to carry the vigorous impress of the powerful Intellect of its founder. On every current topic of political, social and general interest, it was freighted with weighty thought, tersely and forcibly expressed. Though partizan, and emphatically "the tower of strength" to tho Whig party for a decade, and the builder and architect cf the Republican party of to day, Horace Greeley and his Tribune were Independent in the true sense of the term, fearlessly differing with the statesmen of l)oth of them, and never truckling to tho expediencies cf the mere politicians of cither. There was a frankness and bold honesty in the Tribune that reached and swayed tho people, and perhaps no publica tion ever had so large and implicit a follow ing. In the public mind of this country, and among men of all sections and shades of opinion, Mr. Greeley and the Tribune are Inseparably associated. It was his great life-work, and will be his noblest mon ument. Its pages embody his career, and "demand mention in whatever might he written of him. After a 1 etirement of a few months, enforcechby circumstances, all will now recall the brief but suggestive lines is which the veteran, but a few weeks sinco resumed the helm of its conduct. Lifted, as ho was by the recent event, above tha "smoke and stir" of the partizanship of tho hour, ho prefigured for his loved Tri bune a yet loftier sphere of usefulness, and a broader and more beneficent scope of labors. -Alas! the journal will survive, but the noble spirit which erst ruled from its tripod, tottered for a while, and has Mien in doath. Of Mr. Greeley's political tenets, and of the fierce earnestness with which ho en forced them, and the profound and perma nent effect they have wrought in the Repub lic, it does not behoove us In this hour to speak. It is enough to say that we dis sented, but, while differing, none could but sJmire tho chivalrous ability, and the noble candor of the man. He lived to see them triumph, and his last notable labor was a struggle to prevent their perversion and prostitution, and though unsuccessful, nothing iu his great career, so splendidly displayed the material of his character. As a candidate for the Presidency, lie passed the usual or deal cf misrepresentation and defamation, but hison course was unblemished by a fault. His letter of acceptance was a brief manual of political wisdom adapted to the time, and the series of addresses he care fully delivered, were matchless in matter and expression clear, candid and convinc ing. Those who knew his power as a wri ter, were called to admire him as a pungent and forcible jpeaker. He was defeated, and this is riot the place for political comment on the event; but one consideration rises to the mind. The parly which set 1.1m aside was more deeply Indebted to him than any living man. He was its intellectual head, its very soul. Tho man bom it preferred iu comparison with him, w s but the band of its strength, and , not its noblest hand. Who can say but that j the chagrins of a great spirit sensitively consents iu this regard, as well it might be, was lb weight that broke it? Mr. GrMny i,a8 passed lnl0 hjst0IT. lastdaya were saddened by a stroke of do mestic rlet in which he had the sympathy of the whole country, one whose watching and the acuto distress it caused doubtless contributed to tho event now so deep ly deplored. We are loth to believe that that majestic brain had passed under an eclipse, but conjecturo that its signs of weakness were but the premonition of the dissolution so shortly following. Had it been otherwise, death was preferable to its living ruin. It is to be hoped that his last moments were p2aceful and conscious, for in tho midst of the griefs which went with him to his tomb, there was one thought of earthly matters which could bring solace, The people of the South whom he had bo long opposed, were at peace with him, and despite of political differences, tho entire people of the. country he had so ably ssrved, were prepared, to receive his record in a temper of impartial justice. I bat record need not now be dis cussed with freedom. He wrought power fully, and the results in which he was so conspicuous an actor, have yet to be meas ured. Whether their quantum of good or ill will outweigh, the future can alpno de cide. As a high type of man self-reliant, resolute, upright, and fearless, dignifying labor both by speech. and example, he is a commendable model to the youth of his country; and as a .Statesman, Philosopher and Reformer, deserves a noble niche In tho pantheon of the great characters of America.

Details of the Sad Event. r "Died Conscious and Peacefully." Monrnfnl Words From tho Bedside Ufa Condition Thanksgiving Bay. New Yobk, Ifov. 28. A reporter -who vtsiteu Tarrytown, where Mr. urceley was said to be staying, could not at first learn of nis wnereaDouts, Dut was tola by Mr. tituart (Mr. Ureeley's friend) that Mr. Greeley was seclude', and they did not mean to let the public know where he was. Stuart said that he was dangerously sick, and had symptoms of brain fever. "He may live ten days," he added, "but I doubt it." Subsequently Mr. Greeley was found to be staying in the village. Around him were a number of his friends, including Samuel Sin clair, John F. Cleveland, Mr. Greeley's brother-in-law, also his daughters. Three physicians were there in consultation. They defined his disease as an organic affection of tha brain, the result of physical prostra tion consequent upon his unremitting at tendance at the bedside of his dying wife. This, account adds that on the day before yesterday he lost his consciousness. His last coherent "words were: "Tho country is gone, the Tribune is gone, and I am gone." The physicians say that he may die within the next t welve hours, although possibly he may last four or five days. There is little hope, however, that he will recover con sciousness before he breathes his last. His friends say tbat his great physical system was prostrated by supernuman strains In cident, to the death of his wife and the labors of the campaign. Tne world says that wltnlu tnepast two days Mr. Greeley was examined by two ex perts, one the head of a well-known asylum, and that the verdict as to his con dition was very unfavorable. The form of mental alienation manifested by him is said to be self reproach and agony of mind at what he deemed his great mistake the Presidential candidature. The Tribune editorially has the follow ing: "We are deeply pained to-day that In the lastSG hours Mr.Greeley's condition has changed greatly for tho worse. Through out yesterday he remained nearly all the time unconscious. In a consultation ofsome of the most omicent physicians of the city, only one was without hope, but re garded the case as critical and alarming. xekteraay luorninsr. New York, Nov. 'J9 The Tribune pub lishes the following: ''Horace Greeley slept eight hours and a half Wednesday night, .which gave him some renewal of strength. During inursaay ne. was more comtortable than on Wednesday, though very weak,and at times unconscious. He receives without difficulty a sufficient amount of nourish ment, and at 7 o'clock last night he took beef tea, and soon afterward went to sleep. Upon the whole, however, Mr. Greeley's condition is such as to excite the most serious apprehensions;" 10 a. ra. Mr. Greeley's death is expected momen tarily both by his relatives and the physi ciaus attending him. Yesterday false re ports were current in many quarters that Ills disease terminated fatally, and numbers besieged the Jrwune office to ascertain the true state of affairs. Yesterday evening at the medical con sultation it was doubtful if- he could live more than' a few days. Dr. L. A. Ham mond, one of his physicians, said: "I doubt if he will live forty-eight longer, and 1 should not be surprised to hear of his death to-night. While 1 was at his bedside," add ed the Doctor, "-Mr. weed, an old mend of Mr. Greeley's, came up, and wishing to test Mr. Greeiey, i saia: Mir. ureeiey, do you know Mr. Weeu?' Mr. Greeley stared va cantly, and answered that he had never met him iu his life before, and said further: 'I never heard the name of Weed before.' " The Doctor described Mr. Greeley as talk ing incoherently all tha time, and being quite obstinate; says he does uot know his own daughters. Between 8 and 10 list night his condition was less favorable than during the day, Physicians did not antici pate any important change within twelve hours. In tho African Methodist Church yester day the announcement of Mr. Greeley's condition by tho Presldlug Elder greatly affected the congregation present. His con dition has elicited everywhere feelings of sympathy, and though it is feared that he cannot recorer, many are unwilling to sur render all hjpa .that he may not be spared, a p. si. The latest advices received at the Tribune office regarding Greeley's condition this morning, state that ho failed very much during ihe night and is apparently sinking rapdiyr He is sleeping quietly. Some of the evening papers publish ex tended sketches bf his history. &30 P. M. Mj. Greeley has been iu a state of almost entire unconsciousness since 8 o'clock this morning. His pulse, at the wrist is imper ceptible and his strength is steadily falling. He appears to suffer very little. Horace Greeley's life is insured lor one hundred thousand dollars for the benefit of the Tribune association. It is announced that Chappaqua, the boma f Mr. Greeley, is to be abandoned by the family; that the property will be auctioned tomorrow. Bead! Horace Greeley died conclous and peace fully at 6:50 this evening. The Tribune is sues the following bulletin: Nov. 29, 8 P. M , Mr. Greeley died very quietly and without pain at 10 minutes be fore 7 this evening. He was conscious and rational. Tho Tribune's Tribute to Its Fallen Chief. The Tribune of to-morrow says: The melancholy annoucement of the death of the editor and founder of the Tribune, though for a few days it has been expected by his family and intimate friends, falls upon us with all the shock of a sud den calamity. He had reached, indeed, a ripe old age, but time had not laid its with ering touch upon him. His splendid con stitution easily bore tho strain of enormous labor. His mind was as fresh and strong and suggestive as in the prime of life. His generous impulses were unchilled by his disheartening experience through the try ing campaigu which lias just closed. His physical vigor, his tact, his intellectual ac tivity surprised even those who knew him best, and seemul to promise many years of usefulness. It Is certain that no history of the most critical period in our national life can ever be written in which Horace Greeley shall not be a conspicuous figure, but the noblest career in his eyes was that which is given up to others' wants; the successful life was that which is worn out iu the conflict with wrong and woe; tho only ambition worth following was the ambition to alleviate hu. man misery,and leave the world a little bet ter than he found it. That he had done this, was the consolation which brightened his last days, and assured him that he had not lived in vain. It is not for us in the first hour of our loss to paint his character or catalogue his virtues. Although for several months we have missed tho inspiration of his presence aud the guidance of his wise counsels, his spirit has never ceased to animate those chosen to continue his works, and the close bond of sympathy between the chief and his assistants has never, been broken. We leave his praises to the poor whom ha suc cored, to the lowly whom ho lifted up, to the lave whoso back he saved from tho lash, to the oppressed whoso wrongs ha mado his own. The Herald's Eulosrinm. The New York Herald in .ts editorla 1 to morrow, speaking of Horace Greeley, says: From day to day for a week past, news of Mr. Greeley's severe mental and physical prostration have left this community and the country not wholly unprepared for his dissolution; and yet w may say of him, as the expiring chief Red Jacket said of him self, that the news of his death will come upon his people like tho sound of the fall of a giant pine in tho stillness of the woods. He has iu a mistaken aspiration for a .higher field of usefulness and power aud glory, 'fallen -ajjsacrlfico to hls'pbiltical ambition. He -had failed to appreciate the commandintz position which he had secured as a leadinc American Jour nalist, and in leaviugit to pursue the "ignis fatuus1' of the Presidency, he dropped the substance for the shadow of great distinc tion. Otherwise the history and enduring rewards ot Greeley's Industrious and use ful career are full of encouracements to young men who, without capital, personal inuuence or powerml mends have the Dai tle ofllfa before them. He leaves an hon ored name behind him and the high reward oi an encouraging example as an American journalist and self-made man. Tribune's Account of ills Xast Honrs The 2Vi6une furnishes the following ac count of the illness and last hours of Mr. Greeley: So. far as any of his associates knew, Mr. Greeley was in almost as good health as usual when on the day after the election he wrote the card announcing his resumption oi me editorial charge of the Tribune. iis sleeplessness, known to few, became greatly worse, but for years he had suffer ed more or less from the same difficulty, and now it is clear that a sufficient allow ance had not been made for the intense strain upon him throughout the summer, especially during the last month of his wife's illness. But It soon became evident tbat his strength was unequal to the hard task to which he set himself. He wrote only three or four careful articles, not one of them half a column in length; most nota ble, perhaps was that entitled "Conclu sions," wherein he summed up his views of the convass. In all he wrote less than three and half columns after his return, con tributlng to only four issttCs of the paper. Two or three times he handed his assistant short articles, saying: "There Is an idea worth using, but I "have not felt able to work It out properly, you had better put lt la ehape." At last on Tuesday, the 12th insL, he abandoned the effort to visit the office regularly, aud sent for the family physician of Mr. A. J. Johnson, a friend with whom he was a guest and in whose house his wife had died. Every effort was made to induce sleep, bat he grew steadi ly worse till It became evident that his case was critical. Dr. Geo. C. S. Choate and others were called Iu consultation, and finally It wss decided to take him to Dr. Choate's residence, two or three miles dis tant from Greeley's own country house at Chappaqua. Here ha received the unre mitting attention or Dr. Choate, and hera Dr. Brown Sequard, Dr. Brown and others were called In consultation. Tho insomnia had developed Into Inflamma tion of the brain, and under this the vener ated patient rapidly sans. At times he was delirious; at other times as clear headed as ever. He lost flesh and strength with startling rapidity and in a few days the possibility of his speedy death forced itself into unwilling recognition. It was not, however, till Thursday that his associates and family brought them selves to admit It, and even they still clung to his faith in the vigor of his constitution. On Wednesday night he failed very rapidly. Thursday afternoon and evening he seemed somewhat easier. During the night he slept very uneasy, mut tering occasionally, and frequently raising his right hand. Towards morning he was more quiet, and between 8 to 9 o'clock fell into a nearly uncot.sclous condition, which continued with some intervals through the day. He made occasional exclamations but many of them in consequence of his extreme weakness and apparent. inability to finish what he begun wete unintelligible. About noon however, he said quite distinct ly, aud with some force: "I know that my Redeemer liveth." During the day he re cognized various people, his daughter many times, the members of his household at Chappaqua, Mr. John R. Stewart and Mr. Reid. On the whole, he suffered little and seemed to have no more than the ordlaary restlessness which accompanies the last stage of disease. Daring the day his ex tremities were cold, and there was no pulse at the wrist; the action of the heart was very intermittent aud constautly diminishing in force. He had not asked for water or been willing to drink it since bis stay at Dr. Choate's, but during Friday he asked for it frequently, and up to withiu a half hour of the end he manifested in va rious ways his consciousness of what was going on around him, and even answered in monosyllables and Intelligently ques tions addressed to him. About naf past three ha sid very distinctly: "It is done," aud beyond the briefest answers to questions, this was his last utterance. His younger daughter, Miss Gabrielle, was with him through Thursday evening. Through put Friday the elder daughter, Miss Ida, was in constant attendance, as she hail been during the whole of his illness, and Mrs. Greeley's before him. Other members of his Chappaqua household wero present with Mr. and Mrs. Jno. R. Stuart and a few other friends. Nothing that science or af fection could suggest was wauting to ease the lxst hours. The wintry nlghi had fairly set in when the inevitable hour came. With out sleighs were running to and fro bearing to Chappaqua the nearest telegraph station, the latest bulletins which thous ands of anxious hearts in the great city near by kept demanding. Within, tha daughter and a few others stood near the dying man, who remained conscious and seemingly ra tional and free from pain, though now too weak to speak Iu the adjoining room sat one or two more friends aud phy sicians. At ten minutes before 7 o'clock the watchers dre wjback in reverent stillness from tho bedside. The great editor was gone in peace, after so many struggles in honor, after so much obloquy. The Tribute or a Political Opponent The Times, to-morrow in an editorial on Greeley's death says: Greeley's loss in journalism Is one which cannot be replaced. The incidents of his last sickness were peculiarly distressing, and from all tbat we can learn Ills reverses during tho late campaign cannot alone ac count for them. Had ho been successful, the probabilities are that he would not have lived, so over taxed was his strength, and so utterly broken down seems Xo have been his constitution. The labors and excite ment of the canvass wore more than his body or mind could bear. We shall not attempt at this moment to do justice to Mr. Greeley as a journalist and public man. His life is a part of the history of the country during thirty years, and the time has not yet come when it can be impartially considered. It is certain that Greeley's name will always be honored in connection with the anti slavery struggle and with many important meas ures which he fought for with remarkable vigor simply because ho believed they were right. Into these subjects we will not now enter, for the country' is scarcely rid cf the din and turmoil of a memorable and an unhappy past. Historians will do justice to Greeley, and in the meanwhile his countryman will be strangely forgetful if they failed to pay duo tribute to his memory. He has been before them for almost a generation, and he has had f heir confideiico'in many trying periods of our history. Let us now remember ou ly his virtues and his genius." The feeling in this city in all quarters is one of profound sorrow at the death of Mr." Greeley, which i3 universally regarded In the light of a national calamity. A TVorn.out Track. SrrtAcu&E, N.

Two Legislatures, Recognized by Two Governors. MOITTGOMEBY, ALA., NOV. 29. GOV. Lewis sent a communlcat'on to tha bolters to-day promising co-operation with them in Gov. Lindsay before retiring sent his message to tha reaularly constituted Senate and Houso in sesdon at the Capitol. It thus turns out that both bodies have re ceived gubernatorial recognition. The bolters were without a quorum in either House, but by admitting Baker as a Senator from Morgan county, Cbisholm as Senator from Limestone County, Darenas as cienator from Marengo county and Mil ler as Senator from Bulkier and Cove Cut counties, nono of whom had certificates or other credentials, thsy made up the neces sary quorum. Three of these had never filed notice of contest on the Senators hold ing certificates, nor did any one have offi cial knowledge of their claim to seats as Senators until they appeared and wero sworn In. Among tha bolters at the United States Cour room tha same rule prevailed In getting up a quorum in their House of Representa tivcB,men enough havelng been admitted without credentials to do so. This action of Gov. Lewis is severely criticised by the people, who say that he has assumed to create a Legislature where for want of a quorum nono existed oefore. Much excitement exists, but the Legisla ture at the capitol having in both branches been called to order by the officers and the means provided by tha Constitution of tho State, and being composed only of men holding regular certificates of election, and having been officially recognized by Gov. Llndsey, who was tba Governor of Alabama when the Legislature assembled, and who sent his message, and approved bills passed by them, are determined to hold their or ganization, relying on the regularity and legality cf their course and the sense of justice of the Federal Government.

TEKKKSSKK I.KGINE.VTUHE. From the Athens JPcst. At every session since the reorganization of tha State government either one party or the other has had an overwhelming major ity in tho General Assembly. As is usual ly the casa under such circumstances, the result ha3 been more or less unwise and hurtful legislation. At tha approaching ses sion the dominant party will be confronted by a formidable opposition, and both will more forcibly appreciate tha responsibility resting upon t'icm. It is too often tha ant in legislative bodie?, when a measure Is in troduced the first thought that croas23 he mind of tha member is, not how will it promote the Interests of tho State at large, but how will it affect ma -with my immedi ate constituents; Thl3 idea dominates his mind and controls his action, frequently to the defeat of measures essential to tho gen eral welfare. We hop3 no such narrow, deraagoguical spirit will prevail at tha en suing session. If the financial condition of the State aud tho Integrity of tha public credit demand it, lt tha taxes ba doubled, or even quadrupled, Aru so oi owier measures of general concern, tba necessity for which is too patent to need recapitula tion here. The progress and seenrement of the public weal is everything; the sacri fice of one's self to local prejudices or sur-, rcundlniM is comparatively a small matter. When tha time comes there will alwajs bo. plenty more on hand anxious to take the chances of being sacrificed in tha same way. Give us only whulesoma legislation, and wo will guaranty that the suftstance, wealth, Industry and Intelligence of the S:a'o will sustain it and in the nd render a proper award to those by whose efforts and influence it is secured.
