ELEMENTAL POLITICS.

The World finds it convenient to say that
"Mr Greeley IL perhaps the most truly representa-
tive man in the country OF the various political parties
which have fought the Democracy since the days Of JEFF
ferson II has been the constant aim Of all those
sye parties release the Federal Government from the
close muzze Of the Constitution; whereas it has been the
steady endeavor Of the Democratic party TO curb and
strain the Federal authority and prevent its usurping
powers granted by the States In other words
the Democratic party has always been the champion Of
the reserved powers, while its opponents have as
stany sriven enlarge the sphere OF Federal action"
Comments by The Tribune.
The Democratic party did, indeed first OBJ
tain power by protesting a jealousy of the
centralizing, power-absorbing tendencies of
Federal authority, and pledging itself to fetter
that Government by the close muzze of the
Constitution" Yet one of the most inn
portant and memorable acts of Mr.. Jeffersons
long career was his purchase of Louisiana-a
measure not only "outside of the Constitu-
tion," but proclaimed by himself to be pal
paby, fagrantly at war with that instrument.

Punctuation is the latest novelty into which
poetcal criticism has drifted. The English poet,
Rossetti, has published an edition of Shelley, in
which the punctuation of that unfortunate young
man is vigorously revised" and Mr.. ROssettis
mind is reported to be morbdly sensitive upon the
subject of commas and scm-cOlons. Onl the other
hand Mr. Morris the versewrter, Is extremely care
less in pointing and told ROssett that he was much
indebted to the proof-readers and cOmpositOrs for
the punctuation Of all his works. We have always
though that the of the stops and semi-stops
must be determined partly by the sense and partly
by the character of the text; their only value Is to
bring ont the meaning easily for the reader; and to
govern their employment by arbitrary rules is
vain endeavor. Every good writer has his own
method of punctuation, and it becomes in fact,

printer who lately died at Cambridge Mass, printed

CABS.

Can il be possible that the City of New
York is about to be blessed with a supply of
cheap, serviceabe Cabs, such as her people

We do MT see what can be done about it. Some Of

Others are generally independent; but if on most
public questions the great denomnatonal organs
sympathize with Republican rather than Democratic
principles, we are inclined TO think that the Democ-

that the strike was not so much for higher

that we cannot understand her otherwise than
claiming for wife the right to repudiate

The French Otfcie Journal having pointed to the
success of the recent loan as evidence of revival of
confidence, the Journal des Debats reorts with grim
humor, that the French people take little interest in
the affair, regarding the loan only deposit for the
Germans 1t is true that the French have to pay
one miliard francs to Germany during the year
which ends May /, 1872 but they have borrowed
twice that amount. Probably the popularity of the

a stone-cutter to recover certain sum OF
money-$5OO-levi as fine by the Trade
Union to which he belonged, for cutting stone
in manner contrary to the rules OF the

Illegal, and that combination and threat to

an illegal conspiracy. This is certainly con-
