SOME OF THE rRUTE ABonT ~

4 few samples of Mr. Greeiey's otter.
ances to the people of the West while on
his present eleedoneering tour, are sent on
from Washington by the Associated Psess
reporter. We infer from these specimens
that since Nj. Greeley's baptism into tie
Democratic happy family, he has been at
some pains to read their newspapers. as
most Of his yecent speeches abound with
the cd hackneyed phrases peculiar 10 his
new friends, We seIecs one in particular
that las led US into a reflective mood:
If the people only knew the whole truth
about the carpetbag governments in the
Southern States there would be nc doubt Of
the result OF this canvass.
We think it altogether likely that if the
people were as credulous of Democratic
stories as Mr.. Greeley appears to be-if
they could be convinced that all tie DOW
er,y Of the South is attributable to the
Encouragement Of the Republican gov
ernments, instead of the inherited in
dolence and personal unwiIlinanass "a IA
hard work, and that, finally. Grant r-os
in any manner to blame for it. tber tbara
would be no doubt Of the result Of this
canvass But, unfortunately for Mr. Gree
ley's deductions, his premises are not true
The6tate governments in the South are
mainly such as have resulted from the
eolored vote. Our State may not be en-
lrely similar to others in the makeup of
rs government, but we do not believe the
Inference is very striking, and we will say

TIE LIBERAL CONVENTION.

II is evident that our Liberal friends
have been taught wisdom by experience.
Il Is not their intention 10 be left in the
background again. The great advantage
obtained over them by their Democratic
! allies il the selection Of State ficket,
was in the coup de main which claimed
the prestige Of the first selection. In ar.
ranging tie municipal ticket. the Liberals
in turn purpose to occupy this vantage
ground. They have fixed a. day for a con.
vention, and several Of the wards have
already selected delegates. Before. there.
fore. their allies can move in the premises
they will have put out full ticket. This
may not be wire-pulling- it may simply
eFince an eye to business-but we yerv
much question the entire patriotism Of a
movement which discloses such a thirst
for the 'fleshpots Of Egypt" We never
had much confidence in the patriotism of
the Democratic party. To our minds it
always brought the fable of the wolf in !
Sleeps clothing. The clever trick bv
which they obtained precedence of their |
allies in the nomination Of q State ticket
was unworthy their pretended sincerity |
tor retormo 1t was designed to do simply !
what it accomplished; it gave the political
bias Of the ticket to the Democrats,
PFofting by this experience. the Lib.
erals propose to DO precisely the same
hing. They are well aware that they

nominations, SO far as they are concerned,

a CLEAN OF LIGHT.

Late last evening We received the re-
port and address Of the special committee
appointed to consider the proposal, re-
Gently submitted by Governor Warnoth
to our citizens, for subscriptions for build
ing the railroad to Texas. We refer our
readers to the documents, which are
printed in full elsewhere, and contain
matter Of interest to all. The rebuke to
those who signed the 'imprudento publ
cations calculated to cast discredit unon
the State credit is well deserved, and the
fact that the investments asked promise
profitable results, is clearly set forth.

Judge Cooley or Judge Dibble, for in
stance, know about soap and starch, pork
and molasses, cotton and corn? They
are only judges, not merchants, and
| should confne themselves to their own
business, whatever that may be, and let
merchants manage their own affairs. Are
not the rights of property sacred? Are
not free merchants entitled to have their
own opinions? Is not the Auditor high
constitutional officer, and should not his
opinion upon all matters in the line of
his duty be final?
Such would be the effect of permitting
either individuals or public officers to
question the authority Of our courts.
Merchants are unquestionably the men
best fitted to control their own affairs, but
when they san not agree together, OF when
one Of them fails to perform his contracts.
or when any citizen has been aggrieved,
or thinks justice has been denied him by
another, whether a private individual or
an official. high OF low, ne has and ought

mens Of the State that Yields the sword Of
justice. The judges are selected. or
should be, for their fitness for their posi-.
tons They must be oIearned in the
law, and have practiced that profession.
It is theiy duty TO become &amiIiay with
the principles Of justice. They are not
called upon to decide upon che propriety
OF q" venture in merchandise or stocks,
but they are to examine into the actions
and intentions Of men and hold them to
the performance of their obligations and
discharge Of their duties toward each
other. IN the performance of this duty
they are the highest authority in the State.
And it has been the boast of some of the
wisest and most powerful monarchs of the |
world that they submitted to the law. In
this country no man is permitted to place
himself above she Jaw. nor to be its in
terpreter III his own case.
We attach no weightto the hypothetical
suggestion ofour correspondent hatjudges
may not have much knowledge of law and
less of finance We admit that men may
be selected for the positions who are unfit
for judges. But the Judiciary is not alone
n this regard. An incompetent man may
also be chosen Auditor. We remember a
case in point. One of 1Ir. Graham's prede.
'essors was not very lively in the discharge
If his important duties Unit! satisfactory
had been made by claim
