| BY the very government which 1t seeks to do
f>etroy. In addition to this official report from
Secretary Stanton to Congress, we have the
confession of Sam. Wilkeson. published, in the
Tribune itself, that he had been for some tins
the manager of Tribune contract bureau
at Washing 'Nn; and. as he complained that
he had gained no profit from the concern,
the inference Is fair that Greeley pocketed all
the proceeds. IN the face of these facts it s
quite useless for Greeley TO attempt any de-
fence, OF to strive to throw the responsibility
upon his subordinatAs. as he did in the case Of
Dana and the Manassas massacre. Either he il
or is not the editor Of the Tribune. II he is not
the editor, let him come out at once and ac-
knowledge the fact TX he is the editor. then
be must be responsible Spr what is said in tie
| Tribune, and for the jAbs. swindles, libels,
slanders and contracts in which the Tribune i
! engaged. and the sooner he prepares himself to
meet this responsibility before the Grand Jury
the better it will be for his future comfort
and the interests Of the people. "a
The Baltimore Correspondent or the L.oss-
don Times.
The true character of the London Times b.
beginning to be thoroughly understood in this
country. The conduct of Bull Run Russell and
his celebrated despatch -.Act as il you hal
heard some very good news''--let the cat out
Of the bag completely. Those Americans who
had been most blind up to that time had their
eyes opened most effectually. The fact Of the
matter is that the Times former reputation for
honesty. sincerity aqd coDscientionsness hsl

being regular, legitimate. straightforward.
though slow saibng British man o'wsr, ready
to do justice to either friend or foe, the Times
is as great q pirate az the Alabama and the
sole object Of its propriotors Is to rob every
body they can overhaul. 1t 10 the organ Of
| stock gamblers, and it is 30 conducted that ito
owners may bull or bear-raiss or depreciste--
the prices Of stocks, a. may best suit their pecn-
mary interests. Indeed, il we may Judge irem
the correspondents it employs in tins country.
all its employees are injected with the stock
manix, and write, not to describe facts or to
effect great national objects, but merely 70
operate upon the stock market for the benefit
Of Themselves and friends. The Baltimore cor
respondent of the Times ia q striking example
Of the Times style OF writers.
When Bull Run Russeli was drummed out ~
the country ia disgrace. the Times sent over
Charles Mackay--A wretcbed and double

from New York. and at the same time elm

Times the hugest inventions Of those friends OF

10 the Hon. Frank Lawley, the second son Of
Lord Wenlock who is very poor peer OF the
realm Some time ago the Hon. Frank I.awlsy
became the private secretary Of the Hon.
Mr. Gladstone. Chancellor of the English
Exchequer. In this position Lawiey Of course
had private, confidential knowledge of the Coz
tents of the Chancellor's' budget or financial
report long before il was submitted 70 Parlia-
ment and tho public. Possessed OF this import
ant Information, Law!ey was 30 lost to all
sense Of honor that he attempted to speculate
on Change upon the knowledge thus conHdsn-
TALLY acquired, and being as ignorant or un-
lucky as . speculator "a he was dishonest "a .
secretary, soon lost no less than thirty thousand
pounds sterling-about one hundred and ATTY
thousand dollars. So large q debt neither Law
ley nor his father could pay, and, as stock
gamblers differences are like debts of honor,
and If hot settled involve the loss Of all social
position, Lswley was obliged to quit England
in disgrace. AS is usually the case. tho source
from which Lawley procured tho information
upon which TO base bis ventures soon leaked
out. and the subject Was brought up in Parlia-
ment The Hon. Mr.. Gladstone could no&
avoid feeling that his own reputation was some
what compromised by the affair, and made
speech about 1t. defending himself and disclaim-
ing all collision with Lswiey in his stock opera
tions. How all honorable men regard such
transactions as this in which Lawley figured II
ia not necessary To cay. To the London 1frnee
proprietors, however. Lawley's career in Eng
land was the very best recommendation for .
position on their paper, which rs daily prosti-
tuted to equally dirty work.
Upon his arrival in this country Lawley went
to Chicago and engaged In some sort of mer-
camille business. From thence, at the 1yrneS
bidding, this lame duck freeh from the filthy
cutters Of London, winged his way to Balti-
more, and began to defams and abuse the coun-
try which had given him refuge from his credi-
tors in that most approved style Of English sor-
respondents Probably by way Of reconpcns-
ing Gladstone for his former treachery. Lawiey
kindly supplied him with some Of the latest Nun
cbausenisms from Rcbeldom and thus furnished
the materials for that pro-rebel and snti-Ameri-
can speech Of which the Chancellor Of the Ex-
chequer recently relieved himself. By steamer
