No man just now prominent in politics stands
in greater need of explanation and defense
than Carl Schurz. He attacks President Grant;
but, in doing so, is mpelled by personal consid-
erations, and makes this so apparent in his
speeches that they fail to produce the effect he
intends; and it is worse still when he under
takes to speak in support of Greeley and Brown,
because it is well understood that he does not
believe they are fit to be supported. What he
thought of Greeley was very forcibly expressed
at Cincinnati among his friends; and what
he knows of Gratz Brown is sufficient to show
him that this gentleman is unfit for any impor-
tant position whatever. Graiz Brown is
quite as bad as Frank Blair, Jr., in his personal
habits, while he is not equal to him in ability.
If Schurz, at first, found Greeley intolerable,
how can he, now, bring himself to support Gree
ley and Brown2 This needs explanation, far
more than anything else that concerns him in
the present campaign. He can not plead that
either the immediate political associations OF
Mr.. Greeley or the party they propose to estab-
fish in power are very charming to honest re-
publicans; these furnish nothing to excuse his
present position. He has never said anything
Of Grant, which, il it were true, would be half
as bad as what he himself is now undertaking
to do in politics, in defiance of his own convic-
tons.

Mr.. Conkling's speech in New York the other
evening was remarkably forcible and effective
as a vindication OF the president against unde-
served attacks and as an exposure of the
weak points in the armor of his opponents
The force of this speech Is in some measure
impaired by its intensely partisan tone and by
a somewhat prevalent impression, which is,
however, erroneous, that as between ConklinS
and Fenton there is little choice. Mr.. Conkling
has his faults, and very conspicuous ones; he is
vain, esotistical, arrogant and ill tempered, and
is master of an acrid sarcasm, which he delights
to employ to the extreme evaporation of his
opponents, making personal and political enc
mics of men who with decent treatment need
never have been alienated. His course in
New York politics and in the senate
has not been wise or couciliatory; but
there is no question of his personal
honesty. He is not jobber in offices
or money. Heis, in short, an upright and able
though not an altogether pleasant person. OF
his colleague, Fenton, this cannot be said He
is in most respects Conkling's opposite. He is
smooth, adroit and plausible, but utterly with
out principle or scrupe. Fenton can never be
trusted; what Mr.. Conkling says may be, and
probably will be harsh bitter, and sometimes
unjust, but it will contain nothing which he
does not believe TO be true, and when it relates
TO matters of tact which are within his knowl
edge, it may safely be accepted as authentic

REGISTERED LETTERS IN FRANOE.-A very
nice point has inst been decided as to the liabil-
ity of the French post office for the loss of regis
tered letters, or rather, OF the money contain ed
in them. Some time ago a notary at Amiens
sent to a client at Enghien two notes of a thou
sand francs each. The postmaster at Amiens
handed the sender reception the letter, state
ment oil its contents, and of the number and
color of the seals. Finally-and herein lay the
gist of the questionable receipt mentioned the
weight of the letter. which, by the admission of
the post office ITSELF was exactly 100 cent?
grammes. When the letter reached its destina-
ton the person to whom it was addressed found
that it contained only one note, and, on her
writing to the sender, an inquiry was at once
instituted. Curious to state, ii was found that
the letter only weighed, when it reached
the Enghien post Office, and before be-
ing delivered at its address, $50 cent?
grammes, and the difference between this
and 100 centigrammes is exactly the weight OF a
thousand franc note. The notary then insti-
tued a lawsuit against the post office for the
recovery OF the sum, alleging that, as he held
their receipt, which proved that both notes
must have been in the letter when he handed it
over, and that as the Enghien post office books
showed that when it reached them there was
just a deficiency of thousand franc note in
weight, he was clearly entitled to recover. The
defence was based upon the fact that the re-
ceiver having signed the paper acknowledging
the delivery of the letter, the responsibility of
the post office was got rid of, and the law of
June 10, 1859, wascited in support Of it. In spite
of the strong opinion expressed by the repre-
sentative of the republic in favor of the plaintiff
the court, after deferring its Judgment for sew
eral days, has now decided in favor of the post
office. The Judgment has been unfavorabiy
commented upon in the French journals, and is
certainly on the face Oft very unfair one.

Carl Schurz's authority for the proposal to
buy his support for the San Domingo annexa-
ton by the promise of patronage, is now said to
be General Pleasonton. There are men whose
statements would command more implicit conf
dence than those of that speculative general who
made such a curious exhibition of himself as
commissioner of Internal revenue; but it is not
very material whether he is contradcted or not
since tho language Of his letter, as it is now
given in full, is but an indefinite and unimpor
tant accusation, If it can be considered
an accusation at all. In the Geographic
report Of Mr.. Schurz's speech, twas represented
as direct offer of patronage in return for sup
port. In the speech itself the senator broadly
insinuates this, and his hearers could have
received no other impression; but the letter
from which he read to sustain his charge fails
to make 1t good The writer, whether Pleason-
ton or another, says that he called on Schurz
with the knowledge and approval of the presi-
dent, who, according to the writer's impression,
wished to be on such terms with the senator
that the support of the latter could be relied
letter says further: 81 do not now remember
any particular language used at my interview
with the president and would not hazard doing
him an injustice by attempting TO quote from
memory, but the impression made on my mind
by the interview was fixed and distinct. Patron
age or Office is not once mentioned nor is any
thing said from which an offer of favors of that
kind as price for compliance with the presi-
dents wishes can fairly be inferred. The presi-
dent desired to be on such terms
with the senator that the policy of their
administration might receive a favor
able consideration from him. This is excusable
if not praiseworthy. The foreign policy of any
president can only be successful through the CO.
operation of the senate; it is therefore among
the presidents duties to maintain, il posi-
bic, such relations with senators that his
measures will be considered on their merits, and
not foiled through captious opposition, inspired
by personal i'll will.

Grseley,s Weakness in Maryland.


The New York Evening Post publishes the
following:
see it reported in the New York Weekly
Tribune, THAT according TO the Evening Post
Mr.. Greeley can reckon upon as many republic
can votes as there are subscribers to the Weekly
Tribune"
This is a mistake, and according to my OBJ
serYaiion, very great one indeed, if the senti'
ment Of other localities accOrds with this !
know of no subscriber to the Tribune who will
vote for Greeley certainly, and but one who en-
tertains any thought of doing so, and he is I'M
decided; while, on the other hand. know of
many subscribers who are the strongest kind of
friends of Grant. Among them count myself.
have taken the Tribune for fifteen years unin-
terruptedy, with the exception Of eleven months
in 1860 and 1861, when it was suppressed by
order of a democratic judge of our circuit and
retained by a democratic postmaster, the pres
ent particular friends of Horace Greeley.
When Mr.. Lincoln was elected and seated in
the presidential chair in 1861, the writer of this
was sent to Washington TO procure change in
the postmastership of this place. in order to re-
possess the privilege of having our property and
reading what we saw fit, and this course was
deemed the most peaceful and practicable one.
An appointment wus accordingly made by Mr..
Blair, postmaster-general, of judicious, ex-
cellent young man; but he was surrounded by
an organized mob of armed gentlemen (D from
Inherent parts oil tne country, tWneu ABOUT u
take the office) who threatened personal violence
to any black republican who should attempt
to hold an office in the county" The writer
was seized by the throat and threatened witt
changing as high as Haman." And all this fol
the New York Tribune.
Now, Messrs. Editors, what do you suppose
we think of Greeley to-day? What ought W.
to think of him? What has his teaching lee
us to? Not one but has suffered, and somt
largely, for adhering to the faith and the party
representing the faith-which party he is now
endeayoring to divde-and he is counting tht
votes of the men who have oppressed us il
every way-with abuse, prescription, violence
and lawsuits.
Oh, mad ambition!
But if he gets no better support from othe
states than he will from this, in the way of de
taching republicans from the support of Grant
he will be one of the worst beaten candidate
that has been put up of late years. 1t is certain
that not hundred regular solid republicans
will vote for him in this state, while severa
times that number of democrats will not toucl
him.

not press their indirect claims if friendly ar
rangement could be made between the parties.
Now, arbitration is certainly a friendly arrange
ment; the indirect claims can, therefore, not be
presented This specious style of argument
will not bear examination. If we now consid-
err the very significant fact that it was not until
filtv-fye days after they had been put in pos
session of the statement of the case OF the
United States, that Lord Granville and Mr..
Gladstone raised objections on this subject, we
will see before us a mass of proof which weighs
heavily upon the London cabinet. In the face
of this overwhelming testimony, even the most
considerate and indulgent persons will be slow
to believe in the good faith of ministers who as
sert that they thought that the indirect claims
were set aside by the treaty of Washington. At
all events, no one will dare to maintain that
the cabinet which has so seriously compromised
the honor and dignity of a great nation is de-
serving Of the confidence of parliament.

We are impeled to to say that the treatment
of the president and his administration by the
selFsiyled independent republican press" has
for months been ungenerous and unjust. We
have had greater presidents than Gen. Grant,
but scarcely one who less deserved the running
fire OF invidious carping .and fault-inding to
which he has been subjected by those "inde-
pendent oracles. We will instance the San
Domingo and the kuklux topics to illustrate
our meaning.
San Domingo, through its only rulers, sought
our government, and profered annexation.
The president gave no encouragement, till after
an interval Of months the protfer was renewed,
and action upon it urgently solicited. Then the
president looked carefully into the matter, and
decided that our country's well being would be
promoted by our acceptance of Baez's PROPOSE
ton. Perhaps this was an error of Judgment,
though we cannot so regard it. Had he decided
differently, we believe the president would have
been far more vehemently assaulted than he has
been. Just consider what democratic howl
would have gone up if, after we had offered so
many millions for Cuba, Gen. Grant had refused
to accept San Domingo virtually for nothing.
Then as to the kuklux legislation, and all
executive action tending thereto or based there
on, we hold the administration most unfairly
treated by most of the independents" The
president is bound by solemn oath to support
the constitution, enforce the laws and protect
the rights and liberties of the people.
Such are the convictions that compel us to
say, as we feel, that the independent" press
treats the administration harshly, cautiously,
unjustly. We would fain induce its conductors
to reconsider and modify their course. They
may fancy that they are only dispsraging and
weakening Gen. Grant, but they are in fact I'M
dermining and subverting the republican party.

We arc accustomed TO write our own edito-
rails. That printed above, however, was not
written originally for the Spy; but we agree
with the New York Times, which makes use of
it, that it is still quite good enough for editorial
uses. We give it prominent place because the
candor and fair dealing which produced it have
departed from the journal in whose editorial
columns it first appeared. 1t was written by
Horace Greeley, and published as an editorial
in the New York Tribune of May 5, 1871. II is
so just that the journals criticised may still
profit by its circumstances and suggestions,
We commend it especially to the earnest con-
sideration of the editors of the Tribune.
