NEW YoRK, Oct 19.-In an editorial contrast
this conclusion: s'Nothing could be more safe
for every public interest, nothing could so
surely purify the public service, as the election
OF Mr. Greeley in this conjunction. So fur as
legislation is concerned, Greeley would ba the
safer President He would be as Intelligent
aud original as Grant ia stold and
sRasnsa s}a1 to detect e lis n1i @istahss, 0dSS f.
should fall into any, would be safeguard
against bad legislation by Executive pressure.
He is not sluggish and easelo7ing, prone to
Hhirk duties, and spend his time in recreation.
He is the most reaolutely industrious man in
the country r MI. Greeley we're President, it
is not in his nature to let any department ct the
public service run on as Grant does, without
close, unrenitting supervision He probably
knows more men than any other citizen
OF the United States. Tho personal dis
cusslona with which he enliyened the politics
ofEf64 Tribune attest his keen interest IN the
character Of public men, and the minute abund-
an>e Of that Kind Of information which the cast
OF his mind leads him to acquire. He has
looked quite through the deeds and character of
every prominent man, and most Of the minor
Greeley would have the great advantage over
most Presidents that he could make nearly all
important appointments from his own personal
knowledge, instead Of being seriously depend
