DEALING WITH A FRAUD.

We stated the other day, in the interest of
honest journalism which had been degraded,
and in the interest of our readers, who, like
ourselves had been deceived, that the pre-
tended Cable dispatches from Paris to the COur-
rier des Etats Unis reached that journal with
out the intervention of any Cable. The Courier
makes feeble explanation about dispatches
to private parties intended for it, and feeble
boast about the amount of its news by tele-
graph, but takes good care not to deny our
charge. Not so some of the minor newspapers,
which see no cause of complaint at the in
geniOus substitution of a clever Frenchman's
invention in New-YOrk for genuine dispatches
from Paris.
We do. We copied these dispatches in good
faith, and thereby unintentionally deceived
our readers. They contained little or no
actual news; but as tn opinions and impress
sions, from the Partisan point of view, of a
prominent gentleman and journalist whom we
had long known and honored, they had for us
and for the public certain marked interest
The news we had from other quarters. How
the news looked, in Paris, to man like NJ.
Gaillardet, we were glad to know. The sole
value of the pretended dispatches lay in the
faith that they were transcript of the views,
Impressions, opinions, hopes of our former
fellow resident, in the midst of his excited
countrymen,-breathing the revolutionary air.
hearing the promises of the Ministry
and the threats of the pOpulace, sharing the
hopes and fears with which the capital was
agitated, and at night sitting down to tell us
by Cable how it all looked to him, and how lie
and Parsians like him felt about it. This
was thing OF genuine interest, and while we
believed that this was what the Courier fur
nished us, we copied it gladly, with credit and
thanks. Now that we know we were deceived,
we hasten to explain to our readers and to
expose the fraud.
We repeat, on the proper official authority,
that the special dispatches published by the
Courier DIES Etats Unis were never received
by that journal over either of the Atlantic
Cables, French or English
We cannot, of course, undertake to say that
something out of which these dispatches may
have been elaborated was not received by
private parties; but we have the highest
reason for believing that the greater part of
the matter published by the Courier
as Gable dispatches from NJ. Gaillardet
was never sent over the Cable to any
address. We well know that this is most
damaging and disgraceful charge. We will
gladly retract 1t, and publish the retraction as
conspicuously as we do this article, besides

We fear that the Democrats" of Massachusetts

We fear that the Democrats" of Massachusetts
are not SO grateful as they should be. Here
they have been using the name of John
Quincy Adams for several years, when they
wanted a candidate for Governor, and we will
say for Mr.. Adams that he stood up in the
ring and took his punishment like man. OF
course, it is, possible that if he should be run,
say for -and-twenty consecutive years, he
might reap the rich reward of persistence, and
be Governor of Massachusetts at last. But
this pleasing consummatiOn is evidently out
of the question if he is to be dropped, and yet
there is a talk of dropping him for a certain
Mr.. Theodore Ii. Sweetser Of Lowell. This is
absurd Mr.. Adams is seasoned to defeat, but
Mr.. Sweetser is MT; and is it kind or charitable,
we ask, to take upa fresh man, and, by showing
him into the forlorn hope make him as stale
as the other ones

melted by our few words of warning cor
respondent has pointed out way to rid the
city of the municipal thieves without recourse
to desperate remedies, namely, that all our
people do their whole duty as citizens, and
thus make the virtue and intelligence among
us, which are certainly sufficient for the pur-
pose, predominant in city affairs. We have
always insisted upon the efficacy of this power,
and have repeatedly shown that if every reputa-
Bile citizen would surrender one day to the
public interests by voting once, and then ex-
erting himself to prevent unprincipled voters
from doing more, a reformation in our NUM-
cipal Government would be effected.

some people may, through ignorance or care

the matter to the next General Convention
At the same time, we would suggest the equal
danger to the purity of undefiled English, OF
using such an odd verb as " genutect"

Our friends in New-Jersey are making a
strong opening of the Congressional campaign,
by inviting the electors of the State to vote
for such men as WILLIAM A. NEWELL in the
Hid District and JOHN HILL in the WITH. Mr..
Newell as Governor and member of Con-
gress has made record for himself which
Jerseymen will not be apt to forget !;
and we hope The Trenton Gazette is not mis-
taken in the assurance it gives that united
and vigorous effort on the part of the Repub-
licans of the District will result in his cleo
ton. Honest John Hill is appreciated by his
constituents for the untiring attention he
gives to their interests, and by the whole
country for his efforts in behalf of postal re-
form. There should be no mistake about
sending him back to the House.

Response of The Tribune.
We charge more for the simple reason that
it is worth more. The circulation of THE
TRIBUNE is doubtless just about equal to that
of The World and Times together. For instance,
two of the largest News Companies bought yes
terday for their customers 49, 800 Daily TRIBUNEs,
1900 Daily Worlds, 6,7OO Daily Times; and we
presume this is fair statement of the rela-
tive circulation of the three papers. The World
and Times each charge 20 cents per line,
and, considering the extent and charac-
ter of the circulation of The TRIBUNE,
we should charge at least 40 cents. Besides,
THE TRIBUNE's columns are much wider and
the lines longer. The fact is, as most adyer-
tisers well know, The TRIBUNEs prices for
advertising have always been cheaper, in pro-
portion to extent and character of circulation,
than those of any other newspaper. Is FalI

The New-York Rendering Company claims
that it has been made to suffer, and that pub
lie decency has consequently been outraged in
the disposal of the city offal because the fat
meters and tripe-bOilers in their neighbOrhood
have been allowed to maintain nuisances. If
this Company has, as it claims, process of
converting the filth of the city into valuable
fertilizing compound without allowing any
offensive gases to escape, perhaps the Board
of Health will tell us why they have been
obliged to close their mandatory.

"OUR TURN THIS YEAR,

The vices inherent in the current system OF
nominating candidates. especially for Congress,
by conventions of delegates representing town
ship and ward (Or county, organizations, are
very glarng, and must soon force themselves
upon public attention. 1t may serve for dis
trict wherein the rival parties are closely
balanced and personal aspiration is overborne
by political zeal but in others it is sure to
break down. Had it prevailed when Henry
Clay, Daniel Webster and John c. Calhoun,
first came upon the political stage, they must
each have been sent into retirement, just
when they began to be useful and appre-
ciated, in Difference to the claims" of some
Hardscrabble or POdunk to have its -" turn"
in presenting the party candidate for the next
election. Is it not evident that this system is
calculated to lower the standard of capacity
for high public trusts, and fill the most re-
sponsible stations with wire-pullers rather
than statesmen
The State of Delaware to-day affords a
lamentable instance of what Col. Young used
to term "the shrieks of locality" For the
first time, her whole people are to have a
voice in the approaching election, with an ex-
cellent prospect of breaking up the fossil
dynasty which has for years stiied her every
aspiration toward progress. Her probable
vote is indicated by the following table:

making every other reparation IN our power
if the Courier will simply produce the origi-
nal Cable copies of the published dispatches.
We make this exposure, we repeat, in the
interest of honest journalism. Those who be-
lieve in deceiving their readers by the economy
of Paris and London dispatches written In
New-YOrk, will of course denounce us to their
hearts content for this, and for what they
fear may follow; but the people who are lock-
ing for news will not be deceived.

1t has been suggested by some of the live
Republicans of the With District of New-Jersey
that the Hon. Frederick L. Frelinghuysen be
nominated for Congress. The idea is a good
one, and we trust it may be adopted. Mr.. F..

be more likely to defeat Mr.. Orestes Cleveland,
who has been nominated by the Democrats
for reelection, than any other Republican in

This, YOU perceive, is no old story, but
political murder perpetrated on the 2lst of
May, 1870, in the Courthouse of Caswell
County, while Democratic meeting was there
in progress. The victim was the Republican
Senator from that old slavehOding Democratic
stronghold (Which had been revOlutiOnized by
Negro EnfranchisemenD, who was called
out of the meeting by Wiley, and speedily
disposed of. No Democrat could have
been murdered in that house while thus

Dem. ma. III IS, 3,357; Repub. maj. now,
4,243.
The Republicans, it will hence be seen,
are perfectly able to carry the State; and they
are equally able to throw it away. And it is
quite possible that they will do the latter foolish
thing. A cry has been raised that the nOmi-
nation for Governor belonged to Kent County,
having been promised her; whereas it has been
given to (or taken by) her stronger sister,
Newcastle; and this paltry, picayune feud
about the location of a candidate for an office
yielding an income of $1,333b per annum, may
give the Saulsburys and Bayards new lease
| of power for an indefinite term.
We do not stop to ask whether there was or
was not any such compact or promise as is as
serted. We protest against the squandering OF
State, and throwing her full strength in Con-
gress for an indefinite period into the scale OF
the Dark Ages, because a candidate for Cover
nor lives few miles north rather than south
of county line. 1t is shame to Repubi-
canism that such calamity is even possible.
So with regard to the kindred feuds in seve-
raj Congress districts east and west OF us. III
there are Republicans who will vote against
such representatives as John Lynch and John
A. Bingham, because they deem it the turn"
of another county to name the candidate, the
naked fact is mOurnful enough without antici-
pating disastrous consequences, which we trust
cannot occur. AS the great dramatist says,
"ns the attempt and not the deed eonfOunis me-"
Republicans of every district be warned by
the lessons of to-day, and make no more local
bargains which will prevent your nominating
ut all times your best and strongest men!
