Death of Mrs. Horace Creeley. 
As wO write this paia^raph (Friday, Nov. 10 
the veteran Editor of the Tribune and candi¬ 
date for tlie Presidency, Horace (ireeley, i- 
burying the wife of his youth. No one who 
knows him. and how devoted and tender a hus¬ 
band he hiiB been, especially during the twelve 
years his wife has been an invalid, will fail to 
sympalhi/.e with him In this ordeal Of separa¬ 
tion. Mrs. Greeley's maiden name was Mary 
Young Cheney. She whs horn at Litchfield, 
Connecticut, in 1814. In her early life she was 
a teacher of rare abilities. She became an ar¬ 
dent believer in the hygienic teachings of lir. 
Graham, of Graham bread notoriety, and it 
was at the Graham Home in this city thi*I she 
lirst met Horace Greeley. Ho loved her and 
sought her lmnd, She.llnnlly went to Nortli 
Carolina as a leaehor. Thither Mr, Greeley lol- 
lowed her and Induced her to marry him. Five 
children have been born to t hem, two of which 
survive. Mrs. Greeley V character was as strong¬ 
ly marked as her husband’s, but of a widely 
different type. Her organisation was line, deli¬ 
cate, sensitive, nervous: slight and fragile, 
physically: st rong, original, Arm mentally, look¬ 
ing at nothing through other eyes than her 
own, and following her convict Iona, regardless 
of public opinion or convention. She was a 
devoted mother, and a woman who won fast 
and faithful friends among women. Thus, on 
the eve of an election which Is to decide Mr, 
Greeley's fate us a candidate for the Presiden¬ 
cy, and which will have decided it ere this par- 
agraph reaches the eyes of our readers, Mr. 
Greeley Is bowed beneath a bu rthen of afflic¬ 
tion which proves the hollowness and empti¬ 
ness and bitterness of earthly honors and the 
acclaim of his fellow citizens in comparison 
with the domestic ties which have strengthen¬ 
ed during the arduous struggles of a busy life. 
The Horse Disease. 
This disease has extended South and West, 
and is also announced as having appeared in 
England. Its effect upon trade in all the largo 
cities is beyond computation. In this city it 
bas almost paralyzed trade. Immense heaps of 
freight and merchandise lie along the wharv es 
and till up the railway depots, and arc packed 
and stowed in wholesale houses, umnufactories, 
and other places of shipment, awaiting trans¬ 
portation. Tito canals are virtually closed 
Thousands of bushels of grain, packages of 
fruit mid vegetables arc not sold because they 
cannot be delivered to consignees. Cotton is 
accumulating mountains high on the wharves. 
The prices paid for moving such got."Is as arc 
moved arc enormous and exorbitant. From 
$15 to $85 per load for moving ordinary mer¬ 
chandise Is charged by cart men, and in many 
cases $50 is asked. The lots to the city market- 
men in consequence of this condition of things, 
is placed at $40,000 to $50,000 per day. Hand¬ 
carts drawn or pushed by men at high wages 
are used largely. We do not hear that any 
mules arc suffering from the disease. We do 
not doubt that the present condition of things 
will attract attention to this hardy, easily kept 
and Berviewable animal. It ought t-o do so. 
Oxen have boon introduced by some firms, but 
compared with the magnificent horses that per¬ 
form tho city’s transportation, they are infe¬ 
rior. Traction steam power has now its oppor¬ 
tunity to develop itself. 
Fire jvc Sea. 
Tnrc steamship Missouri, Capt. M. It. Green, 
left New York for Havana Oct. 17, and was 
burned at sea about twenty-five miles from 
Abaco, only twelve lives living saved out of 
nearly 100 on board. Tho fire was discovered 
in the pantry and soon burst out amidships; a 
strong gale blowing, the ship was soon wrapped 
in flames. The boats were launched, but all 
but one was Immediately swamped. This sad 
story needs no garnish: nor can any words ex¬ 
press the horrors of such a fate; nor are there 
any imprecations that can roach and remedy 
the causes of such disasters; but there is need 
of radical measures to compel ship owners fo 
provide for the safety of passengers in such 
oases as this-if it is within human power to do it.

MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS. 
Nkw York, Monday. Nov. 4, 1872. 
General business has been somewhat retarded 
through the past week by tlie epidemic among the 
draught borsos. The ponding eloction, also, had the 
effort of dulling trade for tho time being. It is hoped 
that both causes will be removed in a few days Cer¬ 
tainly before this paper reaches our readers the re¬ 
sult of the Presidential Election will be known. 
Since our lust report, the Secretary of tin* Treasury 
has published the Monthly Schedule of the Public 
Debt of the Fulled Staten to the Urst of November, 
It appears ihnt n further reduction wns made In the 
Principal of the Debt in October, of $5,228,01)0. Tlie
