The San likes its own way of dealing with
willful falsehOods better than that of The
TRIBUNE. We shall not differ with it because
of that amiabe and natural partalty. But we
are curious as to its application of its rule to
a given state of facts. For instance:
There are certain of the baser and more reck-
less Copperhead journals accustomed, when
they are at their wits end for truth and reason,
to speak of THB TRIBUNE as q Free-LOve
organ. We are rarely-perhaps never-moyed
to notice this falsehood. But, If we ,rere inn
PEELED to notice it, we should never think of
gravely adducing the facts which prove it
particularly inexcusable calumny. II we did so,
there are blockheads so dense as to imagine
that there must be some ground for q charge
which we were impelled TO treat thus seriously
The French proverb-"WhOso excuses, accuses
would lin spirit filter through their muddy
brains, and we should rather dffnse the cal
jimmy than extinguish it. So, IL we were
moved to notice q fresh repetition of it, we
should say to the slanderer Sir, you lie, with
deliberate intent to mislead, to injure and

repetition of the SANDER than columns of proof
and argument. At least, that it is our notion

THE COMING ENGLISH ELECTIONS.


Judging from present indications, the coming
elections in the United Kingdom for a new
Parliament are likely to DO furiously contested
in most places. At any rate. it will not be for
want of liberal use of provocatiyes by the
Tory party if 3hey fail to be marked by an
unusual amount of acrimOny and turbulence.
Mr.. Disraeli has, with q malicious cunning,
struck the keynote of bigOtTy, appealing to
the worst prejudices of the ignorant masses /;
and already the religious enmities which most
people persuaded themselves had been buried
beyond hope of resurrection, have been revived
in full vigOr. The times of Titus Oates and
Lord George Gordon seem to be about to re-
turn in England. The old No POpery cry is to
be the watchwOrd of the approaching political
campaign. Fanatics wax eloquent in describing
the dangers to be apprehended from Popery
through the threatened destruction Of that bull
wark Of Professionalism presented in the union
of Church and State. Orthodox clergymen
forget their professional dignity, and portly
bishops the traditional suayity of manners pc
culiar to their order, in their zeal to save the
venerable establishment" from the sacrile-
gious hands OF the despoiler. Clerical agencies
are at work all over England, Scotland, and
Ireland, to fan the flames of religious ammo
sty, by making the people believe that the
triumph of the Liberal party in the elections
will be certainly followed by the most disas-
trous consequences to the Protestant Churches
throughout the realm, and TO the whole fabric
of government; and the Tory press, religious
and secular, is fully employed in sowing broad
cast in every direction the seeds of dissension
and bitterness
Here are two remarkable illustrations of the
spirit that is now abroad in England in relation
to the issues of the pending conflict. In the
City Of London an Association, known as the
Finsbury Union, has been formed, for the pur-
pose of securing for the district 1t represents
the return of two Conservatives TO Parliament,
pledged to sustain the Protestant faith and the
Irish branch Of the English and Irish Church.
With this view communications marked "prl-
"yate and confidential had been addressed TO
the clergy of Finsbury, urging them to take
their part in on agitation which is now no
longer one of party politics, to make all the
converts they can among the young men of
their congregations aud so aid in forming q
combination "for the promotion as the cir
cular expresses ii, "Of our civil and religious
Liberties, the stability of the throne, and the
greatness and prosperity of the natiOn.' How
unserupulOusly the promoters of this Union are
prepared to do their work may be judged by
the style in which they describe the movement
of which o man like Gladstone is leader.
An unnatural and unholy alliance" they say,
has been formed between high Church Ritual
al lists and Broad Chmchmen. Ultramontane

Mai. Gen. o. 0. Howard, head Of the Freed
mems Bureau, is widely known as a gallant
soldier, an earnest patriot, a devout Christian,
and an honest, true man. Being recently called
on to correct an estimate 10y Democratic Con-
gresham Of what the Freedmen's Bureau (now
being rapidly wound up under an act of Con-
gress) had probably cost, Gen. Howard gave an
official statement of what it had actually cost,
which, including large sums expended in feed
ing the hungry White Rebels of the South, was
less than 81 100000, if we include the pay and
allowances of Army officers serving in the Bu-
reau, though paid with their respective regi-
ments, and Commissary stores supplied from
Army depots. Aside from these, the total cost
of tho Bureau has been less than Sir Millions.
And now, in the face Of this full, specific, re-
cent statement of what the Bureau has cost
ID. w. Voorhees, has recently made speech at

Gov. Seymour is a master of the art Of in

know, as well as of asserting what he ought to

Tubby-IIOok has spoken-the Tubby- Hookers
have declared themselves; and as, according to
the Democratic authority before us, majority
of the leading" Tubby- HoOkers are Democrats,
1t is not surprising to find that Tubby Hook is

for Blair, and that Tubby-Hook repudiates
Grant, and that Tubby Hook also will have
nothing to do with Colfax, which Is an affect

ner last week and nailed It to the mast and
expressed the views of Tubby Hook in two
highly condensed and conclusive resolutions, to
the effect
J. That peace and reunion should have fol-
lowed the unconditional surrender of the South.
Perhaps it would have followed, il those
lately in Rebellion had not developed, rs at
New-Orleans for instance, such remarkable
passion for shooting Loyalists and Black men.
Whether, as the Rebels fought as long as they
could and surrendered because they could fight
no longer, they we're entitled to be treated as
If they all along had been perfectly virtuOus
