A Feeble Attempt to Injurc Horace
Greeley.


The Western paper that undertook to
create a prejudice against the Hon. HORACE
GREELEY by asserting that one Of his uncles
recently died in Wisconsin almshouse, mis-
calculates, we think, the spirit of the Ameri-
can people.
Suppose the statement to be literally true.
II was unfortunate that the aged uncle
should be obliged to close his eyes in poor
house but was 1t any fault Of Mr. GREE
LEY's2 Mr.. GREELEY was absent at Nassau,
whittier he had gone to bring home his
wife, who had long been suffering from pull
monary consumption. He returned danger
ously i'll himself.
The circumstance mentioned by the West
ern paper that letters from Mr.. GREELEY
were found on the person OF his uncle, shows
that he had not been inattentive to his rela-
two. Everybody who knows Mr.. GREELEY,
knows full well that If hc had been made
acquainted with his uncle's necessities, he
would have been most prompt to minister to
them. Nobody can charge Mr.. GREELEY
with pccuniary selfshness, or as wanting in
the largest generosity.
1t appears by the published account that
the people of the town where the old gen.
tleman died knew that he was an uncle of
HORACE GREELEY 1t must have been a
very mean township not to contain one citi-
zen who, under these circumstances, would
rescue the venerable sufferer from the aims
house.
Mr.. GREELEY's character is public proper
ty. 1t belongs to the whole American peo-
pie. 1t is idle for any one to try to injure IL
by pNrading an unavoidable private misfor-
tune that has happened to one of his connec-
tons 1t is notorious that Mr.. GREELEY has
loaned more money to a son of one of the
richest men in America, just to keep him out
Of trouble, than it would require to save forty
uncles from the almshouse.

Lord JoHN RussELL said in the British House Of

1t is somewhat strange that no cnterpris-
ing spirit undertakes to grapplc with the ice
monopoly. Everybody is crying out loudly
against the enormous price Of the article, and
asking why somebody else does not come for
ward and introduce remedy. At the beginning
Of the hot season The Sun showed how ice might
be brought to the city from Maine and sold at
one-halt the rates then charged but it would
seem the hint has not been used by any but tho
monopolists. Thy have their agents in Maine
buying up all the ice they can, aud sending it on
to New York-not with the object, however, Of
lowering their prices, but to get tighter grip
of the monopoly by buying out the market.
Unless some active, wde-awake individual goes
at once to work to organize a corporaon-say
among the restaurant kee;'Is Of the city-to im.
port ice and sell it at reasonable rate. the price,
which has already been doubled, will very shortly
be quadrupled.

Kept In Power by Your Votes.
The SuN yesterday announced the fact that a
warrant had been issued by Justice Walsh requiring
Charles Guidet, the contractor for the rcpaving OF
Fulton avenue, to appear before him and show
cause why he was infringing upon the Eight Hour
law by compelling the laborers engaged on the Job
to work ten hours per day. For some reason or
other the warrant was not executed. II was reported
yesterday that Boss Mclaughlin and his gang had
brought all their influence to bear in order to pre-
vent the execution OF the warrant; and so well salts
fed Of this was District Attorney Morris that yes
terday afternoon he took the papers from Justice
Wash's Court and appeared before Justice Riley
with Mr. Edward Gallagher, member Of one of the
Brooklyn trades unions, who are now attempting
TO have the Eight Hour law enforced in the city Mr..
Gallagher sNore out warrant before Justice Riley,
who thereupon sent word to Mr. Guidet that unless
lie appeared this morning at O'Clock, lIe would be
taken into custody,
The cause assigned for this alleged dcre,ction Of
duty on the part Of the officers OF Walsns Court Is
that Mclaughlin Co. are Interested IN the Fulton
avenue pavement job, and are therefore DESTROYS Of

According TO the internal revenue returns,
the income Of Mr. A. T. STEWART for the year
1869 was less than $1,000 As his real estate
must have yielded him at least twice that amount,
it would seem that his dry-goods business, not
withstandiug his late enlargement of his retail
establishment, was not only Improbable, but a
source Of actual loss. The explanation may per-
haps be found in the fact that people are getting
tired Of dealing with a concern which attempts to
