Horace Gree ely.

>Some of our Republican exchanges seem inclined to find fault with Mir. Greely be- cause he declines the Austrian nilsson some what crustily. They do not seem to ap- preciate the fact that it was not offered him in good faith. No position could have been found for which he was so united by nature and habit; of this both the Admin istration and Mir. Greedy were we'll aware; and he is not the man to hide his real feel ings under the forms of polite regret.
 We confess, however, to have noticed with regret that MT. Greely's temper is not sensibly improving, but rather the oppo- site. He has done more than any other one man for the Republican party, and there has never been any very grateful re- cognition of his services. He is much too honest, earnest, and generous man to slacken on that account in his advocacy of great principles; but he seems to have male up his mind that he is always to be an uaaraiIable, if not actually an unpopu- lar man; and such an idea, long entertain ed, sours the kindest and warmest nature
 That he meets so much undeserved abuse No man ever bore himself towards CO., workers in politics or in journalism, differ ing from him iu opinion, with more intol- erant, ili-tempered savageness than be- Consequently, there is scarcely one of them who does not seize every pportunity to "gird at him." Nevertheless, these are differences of temper, not growing out of malice, but out of the fact that while he acts upon and advocates the broadest prin- ciples of Christianity, his manners are some what those of an Ishmaelite. After all, there is hardly man in the country so thorough ly known, so much admired and respected, and so little hated, as MT. Greedy
 Ought Mir. Greedy, therefore to be sent to the U. s. Senate, or to receive other similar recognition of his great services? Not necessarily. Ours is a representative government, and the bare idea of Mir. Hor ace Greely's attempting to represent any other man seems preposterous. It is to the fact that he represents no man and no party of men, and that he cannot be brought to represent any man or party of men, that his journal owes its raciness, its immense popularity. and it's immense in- fuence. Few newspapers exert much in- dividual influence because few do more than re-iterate their party's or other peo- ple's opinions. The Tribune is often hasty and wrong-headed, but it is honest, fear less, out-spoken and original. It never undertakes to cheat it's readers with the ancient favored hash that is the sole dish offered by so many of it's contemporaries. Moreover, the power to work we'll with equals, to follow where one cannot lead, to deal kindly with the prejudices of cola borers, and to soften unavoidable differ ences, though the necessary characteris- tics of an effective member of 8 legislative body, seem wanting in NIT. Greely. We think, therefore, that he exercises greater and more useful infu- ence at the head of the Tribune than he would find 1t possible to exercise any where else, unless it were at the head of the Government of the United States, position to which we do not imagine he ct present aspires.

 Tn nconsequence of the indisposition (as manifest ed of late,) of the civil authorities in Arkansas to take action In offences of an aggravated nature against freedmen, orders have been issued for the trial of all such by Military Commission and for prompt action to be taken for the punishment of civil officers who fail to issue writs against of lenders committing assaults &c, against freedmen, and prohibiting bail for the appearance of such criminals.
 The extension of suffrage to freedmen has eyi- dentls aroused a sentiment of hostility to the col ored race and to Northern men in many parts of the district, which did not exist before; and Gen. Ord Is convinced that larger force than is now stationed in those states to preserve order and or ganize Conventions will be required hereafter to protect them and secure the freedmen the use of the suffrage.
 In majority of the counties of this district there are very few men who can take the test oath and these are not dispos to defy public opinion by accepting office, unless supported by military force aiterward.
 The will of the colored people may be in favor of supporting loyal ofice-holders but their intelli- gence is not now sufficient to enable them to com bine for the execution of their will All their con- binations now conducted by white men under the protection of the military; if the protection is withdrawn, the white men now controlling would withdraw with it; and some of the southern people now exasperated-at what they deem the freed mems presumption, would not be very gentle to- ward them so that the presence of larger mili.a- " force Will be required for some time to main- tain the freedmen in the right of suffrage
 Owing to the removal of Gen. Sheridan no report is made concerning the fifth Military District
 Such is the first official evidence given us of the working of the Reconstruction Acts. So far from justifying the state ments of the Presidents Message regard ing the enormous expense attendant upon the execution of those acts, one Command CT is of opinion that fewer troops will be necessary, after the elections held under those acts than before. One Commander, only, thinks an increase necessary in his department-to protect the freedman from oppression. As the whole expense of the !

Trouble with Negroes.
