The Society for the Suppression Of Obscene
Publications, in New York, has done good work
Of late,-its practical achievements being chiefly
due to 3 young dry goods clerk, who has de-
voted himself to the cause. Having succeeded
IN suppressing the most notorious publications
Of obscene literature, it is now proposed to make
5 crusade against the quack physicians and
cheap druggists who advertise, by means Of cir
cu}ars and pamphlets Of the most revolving de-
scription, and whose professional character
secure them circulation where they can do
most harm,

The New York Times has distinguished itself
by endeayorins to take commercial advantage
Of Mr. Gree1ey's death. The body Of it's obitu-
ary article did not consist so much of kind
words for the deceased journalist, as Of COM
u1ents upon the probable decadence Of bis news
paper without him OF Mr. Greeley himself, it
was content to show that his death was pre1na-
ture; that there WAS reason to believe that he
was insane during the whole campaign; and
that she died of Liberal Republicanism." In
another article on "11r. Greoley's Career,' it
held that his great popularity and repu-
tation were the results of the intel
lcctual superiority which he exerted fif-
teen, or twenty, or twenty-five years ago.,
when American civilization was Of q more
primitive character. While it is unpleasant to
contemplate what Mr. Carlyle would call the
"nastiness ' Of this treatment Of Mr.. Greeley'a
death, it should not be overlooked, because it
WAS the only thing necessary to illustrate the
greatness Of the deceased editor Of tho New
York Tribune, and tho comparative itt1eness Of
the present conductors of the New York Times
Mr. Greeley was not more the New York Tribune
than Mr. Raymond was the New York Times
Upon the death Of the latter, neither tue Tribune
nor any other paper predicted the decay and dis
solution Of tho Times. Yet that method Of
treating the deceasc OF brother journalist
would have been as appropriate and decorous Is
the Times unhappy and inopportune squealng

The subscriptions for the relief OF Harvard
College, whose sources Of income we're virtually
cut off by the Boston fire. had reached the sum
of s1o2, 100 on the 2eth ult. The whole amount
asked for by the College is about $3.50 1000, which
appro1imates to the amount lest in the fire.
Without this MD, it is extremely doubtful
whether the College would be able to
continue operations, as it has no other
sources of income which are avail
able for educational purposes. In this
connection, Professor Eliot, Of Harvard, has
published communication in the Boston Daily
Advertiser, showing that in the year 1S71-72 each
of the 621 undergraduates cost the College about
300 more than he paid, and that in the year
187o-71 each undergraduate cost about s95
more than he paid, and in this statement no ac-
count is taken OF the value Of lands, public
buildings, libraries, and collections Of the city.

Three great changes in our financial system,
says the Secretary Of the Treasury, grew OF of
the war. These were the initiation of broad
system Of Protection, through the imposition Of
heavy customs-duties; the issue of paper money
by the Government; and the National Bank
system. These three measures, the Secretary
confidently asserts, have won popular sup
port, and will remain substantially undis-
turbed until the effects of tho war have
disappeared. For ten years the weight
OF the debt has prevented any discussion of the
principles Of Free Trade. During that period
Protective policy has been in force, and the
country has prospered. Areduction OF customs
duties may be expected, he says, but not such as
to disturb this benefcent interdcpendence be-
tween the Government and the industry of the
country. The principles Of Political Economy,
the Secretary evidently believes, differ widely
in their range from all other principles,
for they are only national, not cosmopolitan, Us
Mr.. Boutwell, perhaps thinks to be the case
with common sense and the multiplication table.

| With the great reduction Of taxation, by the
acts OF Congress at its last session, the expend-
iture of the Government in collecting the rev.
| enue will be much reduced for the next fiscal
| year. It is very doubtful, however. whether any
| further reduction of soVexatious burden upon
| any people will be practicable for the present.
| At all events. as a measure OF justice to the
holders Of the nations certificates Of indebted
| ness, would recommend that no more legiela-
| ton be had upon this subject, unless it be to
| correct errors Of omission or commission in the
| present laws, until q sufficient time has elapsed
to prove that it be done and still leave sufi
cient revenue to meet the current expenses Of
the Government, pay interest on the public debt,
and provide for the Sinking Fund established by

of the highest importance.
