HORACE GREELEY.

HE. RESUMES THE EDIToRsHIP OF THE
TRIBUNE, AND DEFINES Ills POSITION
FOR THE FUTURE.
The New York Tribune publishes the
following:
4 Card-Thc undersigned resumes the
editorship Cf the Tribune, which he relin-
quished in embarking i'll another line of
business six months ago. HencefOrth it
shall be his endeavOr to make this thor
ou3lly Independent journal, treating all
parties and political movements with Judi
cial fairness and candor; but courting the
favor and deprecating the wrath of no one.
Ii he can hereafter say anything that will
tend to heartily unite the whole American
people on the broad platform of unive1-
sal amnesty and impartial suffrage,
he will gladly do so. For the present, how
ever, he can best commend the consumma-
ton by silence and fOrbearance. The
victors in our late struggle can hardly fail
to take the whole subject of Southern
rights and wrongs into early and earnest
consideration, and to them, for the present,
he RENTS it. Since he never will again be
a candidate for any office, and is not in
full accord with either OF the great parties
which have hitherto divided the country,
be will be able and will endeavOr to give
wider and steadier regard to the progress
OF science, industry, and useful arts than a
partisan Journal can do; and he will not be
provoked to indulgence i'll those bitter
personalities which are the recognized bane
of journalism. Sustained by generous
public, he will do his best to make the
| Tribune a power in the broader field it
now contemplates as when human freedom
was in peril it was in the arena of political
partisaIship. HORACE GREELEY.

Measure for Measure.
We copy elsewhere from the Wilmington
JOURNAL. a facetious article, giving the
feelings of the editors Of that paper during
the progress of the efforts Of CantWel, the
Radical Solicitor, ard Russell, the Radical
Judge, to have the JOURNAL indicted for
libel.
The Judge made thee special charges
to the Grand jury of New Hanover on the
subject, i'll which he told them that the ar
ticle i'll the JOURNAL, charging Judge
Bond with being a scoundrel, was libelOus,
aud irtimated that they would perjure
themselves if they dil not find t~1le Dill.
The Judge lost lis temper in the mean,

might be committed tor Contempt if they
disobeyed his instructions. lie grossly in

into measures.
But tie wordy and difruse Solicitor and
the precocious Judge utterly failed of their
purpose, for the indictment was not made
We think the JOURNAL right in treating
the matter facetiously. 1t was 4 farce, in
its strictcst sense, and presents a fine sub
Iject for first class humorous article.
The idea of such men rs Cantwcil and
Russell setting themselves up in North
Carolina as paragons OF judicial pro-
priety and lulninaries of the laW-Cant-
well of cOckade nOtOriety, and Russell, the
precocious Judge Such creatures as these,
by the grace Of Radicalisn and negro
votes, "cothed with little brief authority"
have made 4 ridiculous figure of them
selves, and are the laughing stock Of the
public.
Russell and Cantwe l--Ddr mobile fro
hlu1-are remarkable men. Their at
tempt to break down the influence of the
JOURNAL has lecciled upon their own
heads.
The Wilmington JOURNAL is a brave,
fearless, independent paper, and laughs to
scOrn the puny efforts Of the brace of
Radical expounders of the law whose
names are mentioned above, 10 stitle its

be felt long after the names Of Cantwell

perchance they have achieved all immor-

freedom-a free and incOrruptible press.

Elections Of the Past.

The Philadelphia "Press," in florifica-
lion over the great triumph of President
Grant, recalls all the elections of the past
to prove it to lave been the most complete
popular endorsement ever received by any
President. AS the following historical
facts are interesting, we copy them from
its article:
To appreciate the fullness of the triumph,
let US indulge for moment in brief ret
respect of the Presidential struggles and
electoral votes of the past. In the first
election, at which only ten of the States
voted, the choice of electors in all save one
(Virginia) was made by the Legislatures.
OF the siXty-nine electoral votes, George
Washington received every one, In the
second election for President, in 1892,
Washington again received all the electoral
votes, 1870. In the third, at which he de-
clined to be Il candidate, John Adams was
elected after 4 hard struggle, receiving II
out OF the 1jS votes. In the fourth election,
with every State voting for electors after its
own fashion, the Electoral College was
divided into II votes for Thomas Jefferson
and II for Aaron Burr, and the election
dcvOlved upon the House of Representa-
tives. The end of that memorable struggle
was the choice OF Thomas Jefferson for
President, and constitutional amendment
preventing the recurrence Of such state
of affairs in the future.
In the fifth election, Thomas Jefferson
was again successful, receiving 164 out of
17S electoral votes. In the sixth election
James Madison received 122 out of 176
votes. In the seventh, lie had 128 to 80 for
De Witt Clinton. James Monroe, his sue
cessor, had at first election 1S3 to "a for
Rufus King, and at his second, 22S to for
John Quincy Adams, almost unanimous
vote. In 1924, Andrew Jackson received
80 votes, John Quincy Adams 81, w. II.
Crawford Al, and Henry Clay 81. The

Cheap Living.

The cbeapness OF living in France is due
not only to the price of articles, but to the
simple and unostentatious manners of the
people a writer in Frasers Magazine
saws that however small or reduced the in
come Of a genteel family in France, their
social position is not i'll the least affected
by their circumstances; and that the gen.
eral diffusion of wealth shown by the
French loan is owing to the economical
living and the thriftiness of the women,
who generally participate in the business of
earning livelihood. And then, when the
children marry, they continue to live under
the parental roof, as before, in one family,
thus reducing the expenses and holding
the families in sort Of communion until
both parents are dead.

The Fatal BfAcelet-And the Deadly
COin-A Beautiful JeWess Married
Before She Knew 1t

The Paris Steele tells curious story
illustrating the evil consequences of arbi-
trary notions concerning marriages held by
the followers Of religious sects in opposition
to the simple view Of the matter taken by
the State. The ancient customs of the He
brew nation make the reception by a young
woman Of gift arOm young man, ten
dered W i'll the words '' 1 consecrate thee
to myself with this,'ra valid marriage. A
young and INDECENT man, being in want Of
rich wife, fixed upon a wealthy young
Jewess as a fit person upon whom to try a
stratagem suggested by this custom
lie introduced Himself TO the lady as a
iewelier in the town, and succeeded in
making her choose a bracelet. While pay
ing him she. saw that she had not sufficient
money, aud said SO to the. pretended jew
eller. he Instantly handed her coin, at
the same time pronounced the sacrament
tai words. -.g s.. ...-l....4 t.
The girl Immediately threw down The
piece, but the rascal had, in the opinion of
the bigoted rabbis, acquired sufficient right
/ over her to induce them to summon her
! to the synagogue that the affair might be
/ investigated. They finally decided that
the conditions making the gift a marriage
had not been fulfilled; but the poor girl
fell ill from agitation and anxiety, and
! died in a few days.

of O Warrington MflIiOnntre's
Daughter.
Among the red men now visiting the
capital to smoke the pipe Of peace is youth
ful Comanche brave, who has attracted no
little attention from the ladies of Washing
ton. The other day, during the visit Of
several families to tie hotel where he is
stopping, he saw pretty young lady of
about his own age, the daughter of one Of
the wealthiest men of the city, and fell so
violently in love with her at first sight that
when the party left the house he followed
her to her residence. For two or three days
subsequently he was observed hanging
around the vicinity, occasionally catching
a glimpse of her; and, strange to say, the
Young lady has conceived an equally vio-
lent passion for him. On Saturday last
she went out riding with him in the ele-
CANT barouche belonging to the paternal
mansion, and when those having charge
of her strictly forbade any further exhibit
tiOns of SIIch bad taste On her part, she
frankly declared her intention of wedding
the Comanche. On the other side, the
young Indian has been supplied with
money and declares that he will not 'c-
turn to the happy huntinr-=rounds =; ,,.,,

should go with him. Of course such d

A feature new to the coal trade is the re-
port that there has been quite a number Of
orders received for Cumberland coal to be
shipped to points where English coal has
been used, and it is generally conceded
that the trade is in a healthier condition
than at any previous time this year. Sew

with cargoes of soft coal fer foreign c0un-
