DEATH OF HORACE GREELEY
The death of Horace Greeley, the great
journalist, has touched a sympathetic chord
in nearly every heart, and especially in the
editorial heart Of the country and e1-
pressions of sympathy audr sorrow are
universal, even around those who recently
were his enemies. the exception To- this, so
far, being the POLITICAL panderer and drab,
the New York Times who, with characteristic
indecency and lack OF truth, said that "Mr.
Greeley died of Liberal Rrpubiicanism."
The world knows that he was constant
watcher long weary days and nights at tho
bed side of his sick wife scarcely taking rest,
almost entirely unheedingthe political battle
then raging; and that this and the great blow
of her: death snapped the chords of an
affectionate and sympathising nature which
were stretched to their utmost tension
The snarling English cur who attributes his
death to disappointed ambition, cannot rise
above grovelling in his kennel and wholly
mistakes the character of the American
people, if he thinks to curry favor with then,
by dirty, low, blackguard election campaign
fings. at ont. who, whatever may have been
his peculiarities, was honest and q great

theme of the centre of wealth and fashion,

COMPROMISING WITH FRAUD.
The action of the Government agents in
Withdrawing the suit. for frsnds upon the
Revenue laws, against Weed & Co., of Boston,
upon the payment of half : million Of dol.

large offenders, men in high places; are to be
permitted to buy themselves off with q
portion of their i'll gotten gains whilc the
small fry are to be punished and disgracsd.
This would seem to be tho policy of the
administration, a. Gen. Grant has pardoned

INAUGURATION DAY.
Gov. Cooke. greatly riled the Government
officials and officers of State associations, by
ignoring them in calling a meeting to make
preparations for the 4th of March next. Il
