tFrom the N. Y. TimesI
In this State the friends Of the murderer are
numerous. and never fail TO rally promptly to
his aid. He has, therefore, little TO dread, and
the rare accident Of an occasional hanging, like
that OF Reynolds, has no terrors for him. In
this City, to-day, there are scores Of men and
more than one influential newspaper, laboring
to secure Fosters escape on the ground that he
was drunk when he first insulted \ lady, and
then murdered the gentleman who was escort
ing her. No mans life is sAfem fro murderous
assault in a community whore the murderer is
thus upheld; but in New Jersey, where Garrab-
rant awaits the sure doom that she has earn
cd, murder is rare, and no man need fear the as
sAuit OF the assassin.
WHY THE KU-KLux ARK QUIET, NOW.
[From the N. Y. Times.l
A case Of more grAtuitous establishment has
not lately occurred than the 1riolne,s recon-
mendAton OF the repeal Of the ku-Klux law.
II is scarcely more than year since that journal
teemed with violent appeals to Congress TO pass
this, or some more extreme law. IL Is not q
year since Mr.. Greeley stated in public speech
in this City that he not only approved the law,
but that if it was found not to go far enough,
he would have it made to go further. Now he
declares there is no need fer the law, Yet the
only change in the facts arise from the enforce
ment Of the law, The Ku-Klux are quiet be-
cause they are in terror Remove the cause OF
their wholesome fear, and they would spring
into renewed activity. MIR. Greeley advises Com
gress to remove that cause We do not believe
the country is prepared to accept such advice.
Mr.. GREELEY FANATIC" AND "cHARLATAN,
From the N. Y. World
The truth is, that The World is steadily and
self-respectingly consistent. 1t has refused to
Jump Jim Crow to the music OF a convention
| got up outside the Democratic party, controlled
| by political tTicksters, and perverted to ends
| never in the contemplation Of those who called
| it. It estimates Mr.. Greeley now, as itself and
| all Democrats estimated him up 10 the moment
/ OF his most unexpected nomination; and be-
cause it keeps right on in maintaining its long
/ settled opinion Of man whom II has always
| regarded as a fanatic and 3 oharlatan, II is
| ''erraticn Which is much the same thing as
saying that line Of undertaking straightness
| runs Agzag.
| PITCHING INTO WELLS, ATKINSON AND MATTHEWS.
| [FRoM THK N, Y. TRIBUSE.I
We have none OF the disposition an 'organ'
might cherish to ignore the continued and still
| active dissatisfaction Of q small body OF sincere
Reformers who met with us at Cincinnati. They
belong to class rarely satisfied with anything,
never comfortable in majority, generally Dol.
ters whose approval is the common seal OF fail.
ure, and whose objections often bring as much
aid as harm. But they honestly want better Gov
efnment; they sincerely oppose the Administra-
tion because they think il has been bad one
and as John the Baptists, they are invaluable
The only trouble is that they never get out Of
the wilderness.
