MOVING AND THE MORAL OF IT,
[From the N. Y. Tribunal
We have now set forth, to the best OF our
ability, the minor niiseries Of moving but to
the moral points OF the case We feel that we can
do but spare Justice. Our opinion Is that house
is not like home until We have lived in il long
enough 10 love ID, and specially 10 affect parti-
cular apartments and corners and exterior as
poets Of the familiar mansions = the room IN
which you have 30 often broke bread with the
best beloved; the room in which You have even-
ing after evening, gathered about the children
the room to which they Were sent Tor ther nno-
cent slumber the room in which they were
born or in which, alas some OF them died or
leave the inferior, the outside phyaiognomy OF
the house, the stoep, the street, the pis-d.nis
structure OF your neighbor-your neighbor still,
albeit you know not his name hardly his person,
not at all his calling.
THE JUDICIAL DECISION IN THE CONVICT CASES.
IFrom the N. Y. TribuRe.l
Judge Brady's decision in the Special Sessions
habeas corpus cases remands the convcts for
re-trial, on the ground that they cannot have
been put in jeopardy Of life or liberty by Court
that was illegally constituted. This Judgment
| will doubtless end in the release Of great ma
jority OF the prisoners. as, in large proportion
| Of the cases, neither compainAnts nor witnesses
can be secured for the purposes Of second
trial.
ALAS, now HAVE THE MIGHTY FALLEN.
IFrom the N. Y. Timesl
The dispatches from Cincinnati are a curious
| commentary on the pretensions with which the
| Convsntien was called. 1t was to be eonsulta-
tion of Republicans to insure reforms at the
hands Of the Republican Party. 1t has sunk
into squabble of political hucksters over nom
nations which, at best, can only crafty the am
bition of men whom the Republican Party has
disappointed Nothing is more striking than the
prevalence OF all the stalest and most offensive
forms OF political trickery. A more conspicuous
exhibition Of the worst traits Of oaucus-bound
conventions never was shown. And this hig-
Cling, trAfiicking, tricky meeting Of professional
politicians is Reform Convention !"
THE MORAL OF THE SEPARATION OF THE REVENUE
REFoRMERs FROM THE REPUBLICANS.
From the N. Y. TimeAl
The Republican Party, as party, is not com.
mitted to high protection. 1t is ready for rev
| enue reform. 1t is not indeed ready for abso
lutte free trade. But who is, except the doc
trinaires With our enormous debt and immense
taxes which must be raised, who is prepared Ia
say that we must collect our revenue by direct
taxation, which undoubtedly in the light of pur,
theory is the most equitable mode Of taxation
| We must have, for fifty years to come a tariff
for revenue. The great practical question be
: fore Congress- will be, how shall the custom
duties be laid ? And here the revenue reform
ers by no breaking ranks and fighting with tn,
main body, would have aided those OF us who
have struggled for tightening the burdens of tax
alton to more beneficial victory Now, by
deserting TO the malcontents, they have left til,
old revenue reformers in the Republican ranks
in disadyantageous position. Such is the co
hesive power Of party, that if the high taxation
, clique form the nucleus of the Republicans, ant
the revenue reformers make a powerful section
Of the boilers, the old party will tend to becoml
more protectionist, while the new, owing to it
hybrid character, will accomplish nothing 70
revenue reform.
