THE DEATH OF HORACE GREELEY.

e .fafttfft Dc =. ------t tH l. ...
The news we give this morning of the
death of Horace Greeley will be received
with profound establishment and regret
the world over. He was known wherever
America was respected, for during the last
half century he has been prominentin our
history as one of our foremost and ablest
journalists. The hour at which the news
of his death reaches us III p. NJ makes
any extended notice impossible. -'1
Without respect to late political differ
ences, the broad mantle of charity will be
spread oyer the faults of his busy life, and
he will go down to his grave as one of the
foremost and most useful of American citi-
zens, and in the hour of profound national
sorrow many heart will warm with SYM
pathy for his only child who in few short
weeks has been called to mourn the death
of mother, next of, her betrothed who
was lost at sea and now of her father to
whom she was devotedly attached.
Our history furnishes but few instances
of such painful and sudden domestic be
reavement in a family SO prominently
identified with our national history and
the impression it will leave will be deep
and lasting.

FOLLOWING THE OLD PATH.
The City Administration Dies Hard


The late Legislature had several ways of
prolonging the political life of its friends.
Its policy was a narrow one. 1t looked
only for success and to that end sacrificed
honor and fairness. 1t wanted to dispose
of Attorney General Thornburgh, so it leg
islated him out of office. 1t wanted little
Clerk and Masters office in Monroe county,
so it abolished the Chancery Court for that
county and compelled the litigants to
travel to Athens. 1t wanted Maynard
beat and it gerrymandered him out of his
district. Whenever it was necessary they
resOrted to tricks to defeat the peoples
choice.
The City Council is following the same
old path. 1t sees the tidal wave' is
sweeping every thing before it and that its
doom is sealed. 1t knows that its little
shifts to hold power are about exhausted.
Last night it stretched its authority by
voting itself new lease Of power. 1t
postponed the time for the election two
weeks. Why? Does not everybody know
it is because on the first Saturday of JAN
uary voters are in the city whose votes the
present admin stration fears? Is not the
postponement for the purpose of disfran-
chising these voters ,..
AS the people in the late election rebuked
the Legislature for their gerrymandering
and special legislation, SO we believe they
will the present city authorities. They
have taken the wrong step and we believe
the "tidal wave" will soon engulf them.
