REASON IN PROGRESS.

Nothing so strongly marks high state or
civilization as the tendency of the intellectual
leaders of the people to despise mystery and
superstition, and to search for the reasons of
things. We are far from believing that the
Virchows are greater than the Yoltaires, or that
the chemists are of more use than the bread
makers and well-diggers; the difference be-
tween them is not one of distance, but one OF
quality. Americans are q practical people,
and we advance materially rather than theo-
retcally; we distribute among all classes the
proceeds of study and labor and capital ana
governments and though we do not produce
doctrinaires so rapidly as do European nations,
We raise q more intelligent class of ordinary
neonle. What one has, all have, and the
distinctions of classes among us are slight.
Indeed, when we see that everybody has the
advantage of the customs, the cOnventionah-
ties of life, we are apt to believe that there
are in America no classes at all-Only masses
Whatever good and true thing there is, leavens
the whole lump. A great political movement
in Europe divides the people into two classes; ;
it creates an opposition; but this tendency is
not so strong in America, because there is
greater material, as well as greater intellec-
unity uulOuS pOOPiO' @HN' "'S 'N~-
during the war, when Republicans and Demo
Gratis strove for precedence in line of battle ;
and there was time when men, usually styled
sensible, SAID that if England would only
attack us she would restore the Union.
Theories for ascertaning correct and sue
cessful modes of procedure in life, in labor
and in government are not urged by our public
men with that fineness and sOphistry which
characterize the lace of dOctrinareS in Europe
in whom the people have but little trust, be-
cause they cannot understand them; but yet
our advancement is more rapid and more sat
isfactory. and reasons for our social conditions
are easily discovered. The only representatives
of the European system are found among
doctors whose system is the science oil
guess work, and whose fundamental prln-
cple is that what they think must be true,
because their thinking is not hampered by
the claims of bread and butter. They are
involved in maze of mysteries, and they
set up the abstract theory that the maxims
they coin and the antitheses they spring upon
their readers are better thermometers of pub
lie advancement than the labOrers bank book.
Say the doctors, from Malthus to Mill IF
"you would advance wages sou must stop
population :" and they advise private pru-
dence and legal restraint. But the truth Is
that the so-called evils OF over-popuIation and
low wages tend in this country. if not in all
enlightened countries, to right themselves

A TIMELY HINT.

An effort was made last week to indemnify
Gov. Eyre, the hero Of the infamous butch
cries seven years ago under British rule in
Jamaica, for the expenses attending his trial
The effort is noteworthy for one reason, that
it is a significant hint of the persistent policy
of Great Britain toward her colonies; and as
that policy is one which our present Admins
tration is striving to force upon us perma-
nently, it is worth our while to look into It's
workings
The motive of government in England has
always been, not TO assimilate the ruling
power with the cOlOnists or outlying weaker
members, in temper or spirit, but to exercise
over them force pure and simple, the more
absolute and CALLING the better. She learned
no lesson from the loss of her American col
ones. India, Australia, Canada have been re-
earded and used by her as so many pasture
lands, whose wealth and produce could be
drained for home use. The differing tempera-
ments or religions of the peoples have never
been humored or consulted. Whatever afro
cities of cruelty have been perpetrated on them
by Government officials, Government has
either sustained and authorized, as in the case
of shooting Sepoys from the cannOn's mouth ;
or if forced by public opinion to censure them,
it has been feebly done, with an after pat on
the back of appreciation, such as this indem-
nifty of Gov. Eyre. The result of this pur-
blind policy has been the loss of half conti-
nent here, and the gradual severing of all
real ties between the little island and her
enormous dependencies in Australia, until
slip of the knot is all that is needed to take
them from her altogether.
Now in a monarchy, where the central power
represents the brain, there was apology for
such policy. But in republic, where every
effort should be made to hold and bind equal
members into one, the system of force which
Grants Administration would make permanent
over the South is more obnoxious and will
work with double swiftness to as fatal con-
clusions To use, first, all means to crush,
and then all means to conciiate people
anxious and willing to submit to Union of
order and good feeling, is, however, such
craftsmanship as we might look for from a
purely military leader. The experiment of
placing civil government into the hands of a
soldier in time when the economy of peace
was necessary has never been successful in
this country, except in the first instance; and
Washington was exceptionally qualified for
the Office by an education which had taught
him craftsmanship, and in birth to social po-
sition which made the personal accumulation of
money an object of small moment to him.
Selfish greed did not interpose between him
and Justice.

yention men of divers politics had written TO
Mr.. Greeley, suggesting that he should DO
candidate for President. He wrote TO no per-
son whatever, except in reply to these solici-
tations. and never named himself when
thousand times asked, "Who shall be the One
"Term candidate for next PresdentW Of
the answers he gave to the letters addressed
to him on this subject part have been given
to the public without objection on his part,
though all Of them were private. All know
that the tenor Of part of them was" Wait.
1T is not yet time to open the next
" Presidential canvass ~ while to the resi-
due he said: 81 do not think the
" Opposition to Gen. Grant can be- concen-
trated on me.n If any one has any letters
from him of different tenor from these, no
matter how confidential, we are authorized by
Mr.. Greeley to challenge their publication.
AS to those recently pretending TO give the
substance of any letters written by him, we
are also authorized to pronounce their state
ments grossly untrue. He never desired any
person on earth to get up meeting in
his behalf He never invited any person
to visit NewYork in order to confer with
him on the subject OF the Presidency. And
he never invited any person TO visit Horatio
Seymour or any one else in order to win his
favor or secure his support for any office what
soever. We repeat that, while quite number
have addressed Mr.. Greeley on this subject
and some of them have evinced disposition
to run where they were not SENT Mr.
Greeley has pursued the even tenor OF bis
way, and oftener repelled than invited prof
fers of support for the Presidency. III any
one has letters from him which are alleged to
conflict with this statement, now produce
them or be forever silent.

Mr.. Van Cott, having opened the case for
the prosecution in the Barnard impeachment
trial. yesterday, the evidence was fairly
reached. There was some delay, owing to the
absence of witnesses, but testimony concern
ing one Of the numerous complications of the
accused with the corrupt Erie litigation was
finally introduced. The beginning thus made
does not possess much significance; but the
prosecution promise, in the able speech of
Mr.. Van Cott, to prove all the charges which
have been formally made in the formidable
articles of impeachment. The public will be
relieved to learn that Judge Barnard stoutly
disclaims all intention of resigning; such a
termination of this great scandal would be
deDlorable.

We hope the story furnished by a reporter
concerning the effort to conceal the frauds Of
an employe in the CustOm-house, and keep
him in Office by simply transferring him to

he has been despoilng, may prove inaccurate.
But the Custom-house authorities may be sure
that whatever the facts are they will have TO

Secretary Boutwelrs lecture to the people OF
North Carolina does not appear to be very
paiatable 10 the people for whom it was IN
tended One of our correspondents, whose
letter is to-day elsewhere printed, says that it
was unfortunate for the Secretary to assert in
Greensboro that the Government had lost
only 100000 by Internal Revenue collectors,
when it was notorious that one collector in
that very place was a defaulter for Sl67'ooo.
AS THE TRIBUNE has frequently noted, the
Secretary's maladroit statement that the South
is hostile to immigration and free schools has
already created much discussion and hostility
toward the speaker.

as between Grant and Greeley. expresses his prefer
ence for the latter because he believes that Pres
dent Grant has failed to meet the demands OF the
times" and Is using the patronage of his office 70

Greeley because he is man of the people and has
identified himself with their interests; because,
working man his life long, he knows tho wanE
and necessities of the workingmen; because he
has not worked exclusively for party, but has
always had in view the interests OF the
whole people; and because during his
whole history he has been dealing and Crap
ping with the great questions Of government.
and his knowledge in this respect would especially
fit him for the Office of Chief Magistrate" For

but none quite so audacOus as this. The name Of
Mr. Gerut Smith is the next TO that of Horace Gree

slightest regard for his reputation either for veracty

Office when he told the people of North Carolina in
effect that there is difficulty in having his patrons

would not be adherents of the RenOminl-
