New-York tribune., 1872-11-04

To print the news about an antagonist honestly
now appears to the Grant organs to be fawning
mon him. turning to him for help, servile cring-
ing to win the votes of his friends and fol-
lowers. What amazement must possess the soul
OF the man capable Of writing such drivel, eycIy
time he LOOKS through the columns OF Il real
newspaper.
We publish, to-day, reports from Ncw-Jcr-
sey Ohio and Indiana, which are full of cheer
10 the Liberal cause. Previous dispatches
from other of the Western States give abun-
dant promise of majorities for the Liberal
candidates. The Western sky is bright;
will the Empire State respond with voice and
vote for Reconciliation and Reform7
The CustOm-hOuSe managers for Grant are
paying out money fer political influence in
this city at a rate never equaled by Tweed,
even in his palmicst days. Whoever wants
money for biO vote may well understand
where to go for it, The Liberal Republicans
have 10 investments Of this sort to make.
The Custom-house people are investing
munifcenty But collect in advance.
Mr.. A. r. Lawrence, Liberal candidate for
Mayor made an admirable and manly speech
at the Broad-st. meeting Saturday. Facing
the substantial men of the Street, he could
well afford to invite them to scan his open
record as a citizen and public man and re-
ferring to the nOn-partisan aspect which civic
reform once wore in New-York, he was right
in declaring that his personal preferences in
the Presidential canvass have nothing to do
with this question of the MayOralty. Party
politics aside tas they should be), there is no
contest in lIr. Lawrcnce's case he should be
elected by acclamatiOD.
An event of great importance in China is the
marriage of the Hoang-t, or Emperor, which
has lust been celebrated. This is notable, how
ever, only as marking the attainment of his
majority by the young ruler, who now succeeds
TO the throne and begins his actual reign.
During his lifetime the Emperor of China is
not known by his real name, but his reign is
called by some poetic title supposed to charac-
terize that period of its history. Now that the
Emperor is to be invested with supreme au-
thorty, many questions relating to foreign in
tercourse, kept in abeyauce during the regency,
will be brought forward, and the discussion of
these will at once become interesting to us.
New-York has had enough of Rings; but the
Custom-hOuse party have another ready to
spring upon the people. No Administration
journal has dared attempt to explain or defend
the action of these men in securing all the
important nominations for their cOnclave.
When Collector Arthurs law partner, B. X.
Phelps is District Attorney and DecOy Bliss,
ir., u. S. District Attorney, they viii have u
hold on the City which it will be difficult to
shake off Then Mr. Phelps will have the trial
of Tweed, Mr. Murphy's partner, and Bliss will
have the United States Court juIies and pros
ecutiOns to manipulate. What with these and
absolute control Of the Custom house, Messrs.
Murphy, Arthur, Bliss, and the Phelps brothers
might safely say they have their grip on the
City.
Additional interest has been given to the
contest in the Syracuse (XXIYth) Congress
District of this State by the unexpected ap-
pearance of ex-COngressman Dennis Mccarthy,
hitherto supporter of the entire Grant
ticket, in the field for the Liberal candidate,
7Ir. Frank Hiscock. in his speeches. as well
o. in the address which he publishes, Mr..
Mccarthy gives the most conclusive reasons
why the citizens of a district so much in need
of legislation cannot afford to return so ncon-
Deteut a representative as Mr.. DuelL Let
them unite, as he urges them to do, upon
such an liable, fearless, energetic, honest
man as Mr.. Hiscock, and all their interests
