TRUTH ABOUT HORACE GREELEY. Mr..
Greeley's personal participation in the campaign
has been to his signal credit. During two hun
dred speeches, short and long, and for the most
part sudden and impromptu, he uttered no un-
wise word. On the other hand, these railway
and balcony utterances demonstrated to the
American people their authors uncommon no
bility of mind and heart. Mr.. Greeley, by his
brief candidacy, has made great intellectual
and moral impression. This exhibition of mag
nifcent common sense in the candidate shows
what a rare and admirable behavior We would
get from him in the presidential chair what
ever happens in November" said Mr. Greeley
to few friends the othersday, II hope it will
be said ofm that | have acted my part and
done my duty we'll" We believe that this tri-
butte will be universal and spontaneous through
out the ranks of the liberal republican and
democratic parties. From the beginning of the
canvass until now, nigh its close, Mr.. Greeley
has grown steadily in the respect of his oppo-
nents and the esteem of his friends.- Golden

ALREADY the political quid-nuncs
have begun to speculate on the posi-
BILE changes in President Grants Cab
met. Mr.. Fish's resignation is once
more brought forward as being prob
able, which is natural enough under
the circumstances. e 1t is said that the
commissions oil all the Cabinet officers
expire on the 4th of March next, and
the President will thus be left free to
make changes without asking the res
iignation' of any one of them. This
does not follow; Postmaster General
Cresswell is the only member of the
Cabinet who was in the original list
Iof appointments Mr.. E.. b. Wash
sburne was Secretary Of State for a
short time, and was succeeded by Mr..
Fish, Mr.. IA T.. Stewart was fiomi-
mated Secretary of the Treasury, but
when his disability became apparent,

Secretary of War under Grant, was

The Congressional Elections.

One of the worst results of the late
election is the probability that it re-
stores to Grants party more than
two-thirds majority in both the house
and Senate of the United States
Here are The clements of immense
partisan mischief, especially when we
consider that the same party will have
control of three-fourths OF the Sta e
Legislatures. This gives them op-
portunities 10 make amendments to
the Federal Constitution, which we
doubt not, they will improve. These
amendments. if made will be of the
most revolutionary character, and viii
virtually nullify all that remains of
that Government which was establish
ed in 17S9. Those who think there is
no danger of dictatorship being es-
tablished by General Grant should
take heed of this fact, that his friends
have the power in their own hands to
give il. in the form of amendments to
the Constitutional sort of legal aspect.
This two-thirds majority has been
obtained by the throwing away of
nearly all the Tennessee members by
the Andrew johnson split, and by the
unexpected reverses sustained in Vir-
ginia, Georgia, Alabama, and other
States, through the detection of so
called Democrats, which not only
slaughtered Mr.. Greeley but beat the
Liberal Congressman. If the present
rule of the bayoneti is made perma-
nent over them, who will they have
to blame but, themselves? Most of
the Southern Grant mem bers of Con-
gress are ignorant worthless charac-
ters, white and black. far inferior in
talent and intellect to the men who
have been sent in the same interest
from the North. They are of class
who will do anything to please the
President, without question of what
it is. They will be. the body-guards
of the Apministration in Congress-
Thus secure and sustained in Congress
with the. best and most conservative
as well as the most honest Republi-
cans, who have heretofore manifested
some indepenpence, discharged from
that body, what is there to resist or
oppose any barrier to the violence of
party, the encroachments of Executive
power or the march of corruption?-
The next Congress will be as devoted
to Grant as the French Chambers were
to Napoleon ILL.,, or Roman Senate
was to the CGsars in the latter days of
| the Roman Empire 1t will simply
register his behests and comnlands
If we have a yestige of the old Con-
stitution left at the end of the term
it will have to be attributed to Prov
