The True Grit.

The commander of Fort McHenry is like
ly to hold his position. In his first con-
tact with the rebels they were worsted.--
Observing that batteries were being erected
by the Baltimorians in position attacking
the fort, he is said to have sent shot whist
ling through the air above the shoyels and
guns Of the traitors. Presently deputa-
ton of the insulted, indignant and offended
Baltimorisns arrived at the fort and de-
manded to know what he nent by firing at
or near them.
The commander replied somewhat as
follows:
"Gentlemen, haven't read history for
nothing. l remember reading OF Fort
Sumter, where an attacking party Of trait
ors were suffered to begin and continue the
erection of batteries all about it. One day
they opened fire, and the next the people
in the fort were smoked out and had to
surrender.
"Now, gentlemen, won't submit to any

profitable to engage their attention than snarl
ing about domestic grievances. AS it is, the
American demand, upon which both countries
depended to sustain the buoyancy of trade, is
suspended, and they are out Of both pocket and
temper. French silks and British hardware
will find but a poor and limited market on this
side OF the Atlantic, and the manufacturing in
dustry of Lancashire, and also Of France, will
be greatly checked by the scarcity of cotton
All this, added to the extensive failure Of the
French crops, and the consequent necessity for
making large purchases Of corn in this country,
is certain to exercise very depressing effect
upon European trade; but with the termination
of this war, and the return Of the seeded States
to the Union, commercial prospects will
again brighten, and we shall experience the
effects of the present period of comparative
stagnation in a sudden increase above the ave-
rage of foreign trade. Meanwhile the true
policy of England and France is to bring this
result about as quickly as possible, by with
holding all moral and material aid from the
rebels, and strengthening the arms of the fede-
raj government by allowing us to fight our own
battles and preserve our blockade without in
reference A peaceful separation is simply
absurd and impossible The Union is a sacred
compact from which there is no divorce, and
whatever may be the Vaccinations Of political
parties either in England or France, it will be
preserved, as a shining example before the
world of the triumph Of the free institutions OF
great and free people.

THE "LrrTIE VILLAIN" GRIDIRoN PATRIoT-
We notice that Henry J. Raymond-or, as his
former associates of the Tribune call him, the
"lttlc villain" of the 1imes-remans in the
field and insists upon running for the Legisla-
ture. He has had considerable experience in
the running line, and may do we'll in this race.
He made excellent time ct his famous flight
from Solferino. The only thing that prevented
his distancing all Of bis competitors was his en-
ever SO far recovered from the mishaps Of that
adventure as to make good time running from
Bull run, not even stopping to save or pay for
his broken carriage. With this training and
practice he may possibly come out ahead in this
race.
He has been nominated and is supported by
the shoddy politicians-the organization whose
leaders were foremost in the Coward to Rich
mond" cry, and who, when they had forced the
army into Bull run rout, turned around and
denounced in public speeches the present admin
istration, more particularly Cameron and
Welles of the Cabinet His record just suits this
class of politicians; for he has been constantly

his paper, laboring to get up a mutiny in the
army urging the adoption Of the war cry Of
emancipation, and otherwise working to pre-
vent the restoration of that Union which he so
zealously, since 1850, has labored in season and
out of season to break up.
He is now the nominee of the so-called peo-
pies party, an organization in which the lead
ing iobbers are interested where members Of
the Forty Thieves Common Council Broad
way Railroad patriots contractors and shoddy
operators have united together, claiming to
have all the responsibility and virtue of the
city, but in reality machine to bring to the
surface and elect to office men who have dis
graced the city as members Of the Forty
Thieves Common Council, in Japanese and
other jobs both at the City Hall and at Al
bany. Since he has failed in his scheme to SUI
persede Lincoln with George Law, he has
doubtless made up his mind to serve his friend
Law in another way, and has now turned a
gridiron patriot, and is anxious to go to the l.,
gslature to secure. the passage of a monster
gridiron bill to cover the whole city, for
George Laws special benefit.

MAYOR WooD LOOKING UP IN THE WORLD
Everybody knows what the Tribune and the
republican journals have been saying Of Mayor
Wood, for the last ten years. They have wed
with each other in reviling him. No politician
has been SO scurvily abused as he has been,
and there is scarcely an offence with which
these journals have not charged him. The
Tribune, however, has at last come ont end
changed its time. 1t says now, in relation to
his veto Of the printing ordinance of the Com
mon Council:-
truth. Our city pays great deal too much for
advertising and is badly served after all because there
most circulation On the contrary, the most needy
greedy scrvile, are preferred, and the result Is
shameful waste. We have no suspicion that any reform
will be Effected; but the Mayors message Is no less
sound and cogent for that.
Mr.. Wood is nevertheless, the same person
now that he was ten years ago. He was no less
efficient and energetic then than he is at the
present hour. There has been no change what
ever, or if there has been, it has been in the
ntellects of his enemies. In fact the altera-
tons that have taken place in Greeley have
been prodigious. After preaching abolitonism
until he got tie country into war, he howled
it into the disastrous Bull run conflict, and then
turned round and prostrated himself before the
public, begging for mercy at the top of his
lungs. Now he has come out with an acknow-
Judgement Of the merits that Mayor Wood has
always possessed, but which he has never before
been able to see. He is one of the very best
Mayors New York city has ever had. Whether
Greeley and the other republican journals will
30 for him for Mayor in December, we are not
yet informed but they ought to do 50, in con
sid,ration Of the more correct light in which
they are beginning 70 view his character.

proceedings and consider carefully the Viola
system of public advertising. We undertand
that the ridiculous vote, bestowing tie city
printing upon the World, was produced by q
union Of the rotten influence III Tammsny Hall,
with the broken down pety of the Vorld itself
ana some remains of the shoddy Contractors OF
she Clique of Thurlow Weed. Those three ele-
i,aents combined engineered the thing through;
but sew era has now opened and we Nave no
doubt that the present Common Council, or the
next, will adopt wise and efficient method Of
laying the wants of the metropolis, and their
own proceedings, before the people, and will
change the old plan for one more In conformity
with common sense and sound business prin-
cples.
For many years journals like the Post, Day
Book, Sun, Express and Commercial Advertiser,
Of the lowest business reputation and with the
smallest circulation have been engaged in do
ing the advertising Of the Corporation. This
has been great abuse, which we make no
question is about to be swept away, and If the
members Of the present Common Council have
wisdom and sagacity, they will at once make q
selection from the more extensively dinused
daily papers, such as the HERALD, Times,
Tribune, and there is no objection to the
World being classed with these and give
the printing to those journals which can
show the largest number of subscrib-
ers. Perhaps as few as two newspapers, would
be enough for Corporation wants, and then the
choice should be from among those that arc
circulated the most widely. The circulation Of
the World is very inconsiderable. Whether the
Tribune or the Times has the larger, we are
unable to decide. According to recent accounts
they both of them distribute somewhere be-
tween twenty-five and thirty thousand daily
OF this we are not certain; but concerning the
HERALD there can be no doubt. Its daily sale
Of papers varies from 1867 900 to 1876, 900. The
facts respecting it can be ascertained by ON
examination Of our books, and we would re-
commend that the Corporation committees, hav-
ing the printing question in charge, should
themselves visit each one of the newspaper
establishments and investigate not only the
books Of the HERALD, but of all the other jour
nails which pretend to offer inducements for
receiving their patronage. Every honest news
paper concern will be glad to exhibit frankly
the account of its circulation, and the adver-
Using of the city should be given, on strictly
commercial principles, to those journals that
have the most

upon the Marshnls to arrest oil parties offering
themselves at the polls who have been partici-
pants directly or indirectly, in the rebellion

derstands, intend to use their influence at the

interests of the rebels.
