Greeley's Forgiveness i,

A Minneapolis cOtcmpnrary- Neus-
talks very much TO the point in tie following
expression of its sentiments:
There is 40 denying that HORACE
GREELEY is queer old chap. lie has
been all his lite constantly making huge
blundcrs, and as constantly asking the
American people to forgive him, promis-
ing not 10 do SO ANY more. After Bull
Run he got down on his marrow bones
and promised that if the people would
forgive him that once, he would keep II
cooler head on his shoulders in future.
After the failure of his peace npgo,ia.
Liohs, he promised that il he were torgiv-
en- he would be rure careful how he
dcalL with his cUuntry'S enemies thereat-
ter. And hi+ last piliiul appeal TO the
long-sutftring patience OF his country
men is contained in his "card " in resuin.
irg editorial control of the Tribune
which we printed last week.
Mr.. Greeley promises never to be n
candidate for office again. We have no
doubt that the promise was sincerely
made, and that, in his present humilia-
ton, he really Intends to take his ship
wrecked bark out of the iroublous pUlili.
cal seas and sail il only III the calm We
ters OF elegant literature, cabbage-cul-
ture'and scieurc. But Mr.. Greeley can
no more avoid being politician than he
can avoid breathing. Nor could lie,
should amy chance IF election to any
office present itself, restrain his insatia-
bic greed for public position and notorie-
". The force Of circumstances may IT,
deed oblige i'm 10 keep his promise,
for it will be many, many years before
any par, could be found insane enough
to make him their candidate and yet it
would be simply impossible for him TO
decline nomination il rendered.
But things being MS they are, the
country has probably, for u few years, o.
months at least, gotten rid Of turbu-
lent agitalor and disorganizer. Prcsi.
dent Grant will not be badgered and
hampered, at the beginning of his new
tenn, by Mr.. Greeley's arrogant attempts
at dietalion, or by his pes,iferous de-
mands Tor patronage for his friends. A
great weight is lifted off the shoulders OF
the Rcpublican party and Grants admin
istraton, for which we ought 10 be duly
thankful. And in detail, The Republican
party iI every State and county in the
Union will find itself in like mann r re-
lieved from an incubus in the abs, NJ from
it's ranks of the chronic disorganizers
who went off with Greeley. 1t really
seems as il Providence got up this Gree
ley bolt simply to purify and strengthen
the Republicans party And il has been
so entirely successful in accomplishing
its object that the Republican party
ought 10 be thankful beyond expression.
