UH1T NE THINK.

The Sun asks if we "thnk or imagineD that
its Editor "ever received. as q bride, any sum of
"money, or any thing whateverp AS we have
not charged that he had, we ought not to have
been asked that question: but, since it u
asked, we shall answer it truly. We think
the undeniable citations from its own editorial
columns in the pamphlet entitled "Tho Bitter
"Bit" including its suppressed philippe on
"The Welchers of Wall-street," prove that it's
course with regard to Gould, Fisk e. Co. has
been influenced by mercenary cOnsidera-
tons. We defy any impartial person
to read the pamphlet carefully and
not concur in this Judgment The sup
preston Of that article after part of its edi-
ton was printed, and the persistent, prepos-
ferrous Qualification of "The Welchers" ever
since, points irresistibly to this conclusion.
And the responsible Editor of The Sun owes a
frank explanation to the public. 1t is the
evidence afforded by bis own columns Gas we
have already reminded him) rather than the
ayerments relative thereto of the author OF
"The Bitter Bit" that morally constrains him
to this exhibition of candor.
His lieutenant demonstrates as follows:
CARD.
The TRIBUNE give. currency s,ndr charging that
the lieutenant Of tho Of The Sun has received Of
money coming frou Tweed for the services OF I Sun throughout
our and $500 from Ill., NICHOLAS haer i0fa eessauol
OF personal attacks upon him"
Both these charges utterly false
II THA TRIBUNE has any substantial evidence to sustain them let
produce II has nOseas fnow to DO the ea.-wu Mi
Creeley make the retracton duo from an honest mail
Ayos J. CUNNING,
Comment by The Tribune.-This plea, it will
be seen, is narrowly special: Mr.. Cummings
denies that he received money from Tweed
for services in The late cdnraSS;" also, that he
received $500 from Mr. Nicholas Muller fol
ga cessation of personal attacks on him." The
facts are, we believe, that his transactions
with Tweed related to the desperate etrug-
gle of Tweed with the Young Democracy
in our .ast Legislature. and that the $500 was

paid by Muller to a go-betwcen. who kept |"
considerable slice of it for his diplomatic
services, and paid over tho rest to Mr. Amos
j. Cummings. m
But technical denials will not avail. Ihe
Sun certainly did talk of Fisk, Gould q Co.,
as nearly every ono else does, until 1t sud-
denly ceased to do So Cancelled its own issue
containing u pungent diatribo against them,
and has since gone large on tho opposite tack !;
it did oppose Tweed g. Co. vehemently as
public robbers, until it suddenly became their
most serviceable mouth-piece; it did assail MIR.
Nicholas Muller vehemently day after day,
until it suddenly dropped him forever; and
no reason for such strange tergiversations was
known to the public till the author OF 1.-THE
Bitter Bit" supplied one. Will The Sun I'M
dertako to furnish anotherf Can it afford not
to make the attempt7 Is not Mr. Cummings
still its Editors lieutenantf
The narrative of an interview with its
Editor in which Mr.. Thomas Acton bore a
part is circumstantial and precise. Is that
fabrication7 Does Mr.. A. 80 pronounce 1t !
Do liars and forgers commit themselves by
such introductions of the names of respected
and disinterested personst Messieurs of The
Sun! you will have to meet the specific ar
fragments of "The Bitter Bit" more directly
and more decisively!

TIE GOOD aNPPLY OF PARIS.

Major Goliah O'Grady Gahagan has written
for The World boisterously cheerful account
Compiled from Che correspondence Oh Inc
London Telegraph. which we print this morn
ing) of the food supply of Paris, from which
it appears that tho Germans have made a mis-
calculation in their plan Of reducing the city
by famine, and that Paris cannot be starved
"any more than it can be bOmbarded." That
the bombardment Is possible has been already
demonstrated but it is undoubtedly true that
there is food enough in Paris of certain KINDS
to last long while yet. 1t is great mistake,
however, to suppose that the experience Oh
foreign diplomats and released prisoners
affords a test of the real condition of tho
city. Messengers who are SEPT out OF Parls
into the Prussian camps are not previously
taken through the store houses and allowed 10
count the sacks of -four, OF shown the BOOKS
of the commissary officers. For them the hotels
and restaurants have tender cuts OF real beef,
and delicacies in abundance at rather less than
famine prices Nor must we infer that be-
couse certain Injuries are still obtainable, there
ia n full stock of the solid necessaries OF LIE
that will be available after tho Injuries are
gone. The necessaries will probably be ex-
bausted first. Marie Antoinette had plenty
of cake at Versailles while the people of Paris
were starving for bread. Readers of Thackeray
will remember that when Major Gahagan was
besieged by HOlkar in the fort of Futtyghur,
the provisions of the garrison consisted prln-
cipally of a bone of ham, IA bottles OF ginger
beer, the remainder of two dishes OF rasp-
berry-cream, three ham sandwiches, 1877 bottles
of brandy, rum, Madeira, and pale ale, seven
macaroons, and two bard-boiled eggs.
Probably nobody in Paris except Gen. Trochu
and a few of his principal subordinates knows
what the resources of the city really are.
There is certainly enough bread and horse
flesh; but tho advices we have received by
balloon mail, seventeen days later than the
correspondence of The Telegraph, tell q pain
fully significant story Of scarcity in other re-
spects. Children are dying for want of milk
30 the mich COWS saved from the shambles
till the last emergency must have been given
over to the butcher; coal is not to be purchased
at all wood is nearly gone. These three facts
The patriotic Parisans may still be ready to
fight and to suffer. but they will not long bear
the spectacle of their children dying for want
of proper food. Fuel besides is q more press
ing want than flesh. 1t is satisfaction to
know that the pangs Of actual hunger are not
likely to be felt in the stubborn capital. The
wants which will compel its fall are less hor-
rible to contemplate than the absolute want OF
bread among all classes.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-01-05

Mr.. Morrill, joins the make-believe move
ment for relieving members of Congress from
the duty of saying No to office-seekers. He
proposes to impose tax of one dollar upon
all applications, and the same for every sigma
ture attached to the ofice-hunter's petition. If
this measure were past, it would result in the
immediate bankruptcy of the gentlemen and
ladies engaged in keeping hotels, gambling
houses, and other places of entertainment in
the Capitol City. Mr.. Boutwell, would have to
enlarge the Treasury Department to hold the
avalanche of resultant greenbacks, and the
finances Of the world would be disOrdered by
the instantaneous payment of the National
Debt If in future, while this law was extant,
the Secretary should wish to raise the wind,
all he would need to do would DO to create a
new clerkship, and inform Newspaper Row OF
the fact The tax of the hopeful souls would
fill his Golfers by return mail. But these
golden visions have no basis in fact. The
measure will die in committee. There is not q
member 'of Congress who does not vilipend
the office-seekers, and not man of them who
would give up his patronage" sooner than he
would his eye-teeth.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-01-05

Precisely why the quarrel of the Rhode
Island Senators, which appears to have been
partly personal, partly political, and chiefly
commercial, should be forced on the attention
of Congress and the country, we have never
been able to understand. Senator Sprague,
not relishing the idea of being called "a
"blockade-runnern by his colleague, lately
demanded an investigation OF his con-
duct, and the Secretary of War, at
the request of the Senate, yesterday sent
to that body information Of the alleged Of
Tense. The important papers " in this, as in
a great many like cases where charges are
made in haste to be repented of at leisure,
are missing and only report Of the Judge
Advocate General appears to have been sub
mitted. This is based, it seems. on the evil
dence of the only person who was active In
the alleged violation of the law, and whose
eagerness to turn States evidence indicates
that be is little worthy of credit.

THE MILITARY SITUATION At PARIS.

THE MILITARY 6IlCA1ION ~ TdHIo.
The beginning of the commandment of the
Paris forts has been generally regarded as an
abandonment of their starvation policy" by
the Germans. Certainly the City has held out
longer than the Germans seem to have antici-
pated, but not longer than they have
evidently prepared for, since supplies Of food
and war material to last to the end of Janu-
airy have been forwarded to their camps. But
the new tactics, whether adopted through de-
SPAR of the old, OF reborted to in Difference to
public opinion at homo and in the army,
are pursued with vigor. The seizure
of Mount AKRON was but the begin
ming Of offensive operations against
the forts on the eastern side of the city. This
position overlooks the whole valley of the
Marne and from its nights the guns of the
Germans can sweep the plateau to the very
walls of Paris. From it they have directed
for two days past o fire upon Forts Rosny,
Noisy, Romainville, and Nogent, so severe
that only the latter, the most distant and
protected, continues to reply. The fire OF the
otbers has been silenced, but the works have not
been occupied, and probably cannot be with
ont severe and doubtful struggle with the
French infantry. The Parisians appear to be
much depressed by this success, and loudly
taunt Trochu with imbecihty; but only bat
tie on the plateau below AKRON can decide
whether the success is real OF fancied. and,
doubtless, on this Trochu rests his vindica1on.
The movement from the north for the relief
of Paris has not been abandoned, in spite OF
what Gen. Won Moltke is said to have written
to Gen. Trochu regarding tho annihlat-on of
Gen. Faidherbe's army. the Frenchman, ad-
vancing from Arras, encountered Gen. Man
teuffel at Baupaune on Monday last, and q
severe engagement ensued, in which the Ger
mans appear to have been driven, but the
ground gained is but a little part of the way
toward Paris, and tho blow will have to be
oft repeated before the city is reached.
A further advance from the south by the
Bordeaux army is also indicated in our dis
patches, but SO indefinitely that its relations
to the general operations about Paris cannot
be safely calculated.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-01-05

There is little doubt that the San Domingo
resolutions will pass the House when they
come up next week. Information on the sub
ject will do no hurt, but violent discussion
may. There is already evinced disposition
TO indulge in something of the style OF debate
which lately disgraced the Senate, and this is
eagerly encouraged by the Democrats In the
hope of melting bitterness among their oppo-
nents. Mr.. Fernando Wood was particularly
active in this work yesterday in the House,
and he promised to resume his tactics on every
occasion. We hope to see him defeated in
them.

Whatever may be the faults of the sturdy
Dutch Mayor of Brooklyn, a disposition to
encourage municipal extravaganza in his Mes
sages cannot he rcckoned among them. If
our cheerful neighbOrs across the river should
ever find the process of payment as necessary
as that of borrowing and good deal harder,
they cannot say that Mayor Kalbfeisch did
not lift up his voice and cry aloud and spare
not, in his efforts to warn them of what is
rather sensationally called their condition Of
impending bankruptcy.

fcssional title assumed in Wall-st. 1t was de-
yeloped on the examination of the alleged
robbers of Cuban bonds, yesterday that one
of the arrested persons made business of
negotiating with thieves for the return of
stolen bonds, and that in bis various transac-
tons he always employed legal advice. We

must make his choice between the party
of progress represented by Riyero and the
party of conservatism of which Rios Rosas is

The remarkable passage in the Message of
Gov. Geary of Pennsylvania, on the subject
of the employment Of troops at elections, is
mainly remarkable for its resemblance to the
kindred utterances of Gov. Hoffman. That the
presence of troops is desirable nobody claims.
That it was desirable in Philadelphia, was per-
haps subject for consultation between the
Governor and the President, hardly for discus
sion in this Message.
