TIE COST OF ROYALTY.

The letters which yesterdays steamer brings
us, descriptive OF the great English Thanks
giving for the Princes recovery call to mind
a grumbling demand We have hitherto neg
lected. The gratitude Of the British Empire
for the recovery of the heir to the throne is a
spectacle unique and impressive; but while we
would say no word but one of sympathy, VIC
do not find the actual worth of the institution
all this ceremony and gratitude are for, or its
net cost an unfit subject Of consideration.
An angry Englishman, whose one idea ap-
pears to be q belief in the divine rights Of
Victoria and the Prince of Wales, applied to
us lately 10 state, for the benefit OF Messrs.
Bradlaugh and Odger, the relative cost of the
English Government and our own. He hoped,
apparently, to prove to them that royalty was
not only God-gvcn nestinable boon to the
nation, but dead bargain in point of dollars
and cents. The information he desired is so
easily attainable by every intelligent schoolboy
that we thought it hardly worth while to reply
but it occurred to us that, as he writes as a
man of average education, his ignorance ON so
simple subject may bo common among the
mass of his cOuntrymen, although only pet
fish loss of temper has led him to acknOwl-
edge it.
We take tie Thanksgiving, therefore, and his
letter. as the occasion, and willingly give two
or three hints by which the average cost
of tho two Governments may he COM
pared; promising, however, that it is
by no means with unmingled satisfaction
we point to the cheap rates ut which we hire
most of our public servants. After we have
chosen our ruler, who, whether he DO the
best man or not, is meant to be the one
suited to tho present needs or exigency of
the times, VIC pay him less than the cousins
of the Queen receive, who serve the nation
by attending one or two drawing-rooms in
the year. We have, too, the comfort of know
ing that, should no prove incapable, he will
be brought down to the rank and file again
in -four years.

TIE TRUTH OF HISTORY.

There are some bold untruths winch, slnpy
by dint of iteration and reiteration, OBTAIN
sort of hold on the public mind. With few
of these. having a personal bearing, we pro-
pose now to deal. They may DO regarded as
samples of their class, which is very large
One
l. Mr.. Greeley quarrelcd with Messrs. Weed
and Seward because they did not give him an
office.
In refutation of this, We offer the letter
whereon it pre.ends to be based. without a
word of comment Though written without o
suspicion that it would ever reach the pubic,
we would not change word OF It, those
who misrepresent it are very careful not TO
ouose it, We reprint it herewith, and ask for
it a careful reading. 1t does not seem partic-
ularly dull, even though it be little out OF
date Do not accept any ones gloss, but Keep
to the letter.
III. Mr.. Greeley ,cas dissatisfied Nth Mr.. Lin
coins dispensatiOn Of Offices.
This is the exact opposite OF truth. There
,ras q struggle at the formation of MIR. LIS
orr yinal Cabinet; but those with whom Mr..
G.. acted 0hen called Radicals" now "Fen-
"ton men,") were entirely successful, as those
overborne by them will unite in testifying.
Again, when Mr.. L. had a Chief Justice to
appoint, there was difference; but the Presi-
dent was found on our side. 1t is Of course
possible that some appointment was made by
Mr.. l.. which Mr. G. disliked; but it must
have been one of little consequence. And the
near friend who assured Mr.. l.. that Mr.. G.
| would accept no office at his hands did the
latter q superserviceable kindness. Mr.. Lin
coin knew that by instinct, though no word
ever passed between him and Mr.. G. on the
subject. There was no moment of Mr. LIS
rule when any place in his gift would have
been accepted by Mr.. Greeley.
| III. Mr.. Greeley scas dissatisfied Nth Gen
Grants dispenSation"cf his official patronage.
On the contrary, apart from his Cabinet
in framing which lGen. G. had intimated thai
| he would take no advice, and with regard tt
| which Mr.. G. never offered any, Mr.. G. re-
garded Gen. Grants selections as eminently
| iudicous eve speak of those for this State
! especially True, they did not happen, in the
main, to be the persons whom Mr.. 6. haC
recommended; but they were worthy ant
true men, and were very fairly dis
tributed between the two swings" of the
party, except that Collector Grinnell had moi
been identified with either. Few journals ap-
proved them moro cordially, heartily, than
this one. 1t was only when Gen. Grant
| turned his back on himself" by removing
the foremost of these, his own appOintees, and
filing their places with some who had been
conspicuous as factionists and adversaries il
the trying days of 1866, that any trouble was
| created here or any dissatisfaction expressed
by THE TRIBUNE.
| Enough for to-day. We may impale n few
more such when we shall again have leisure.

certainly, has no business whatever except
what is permitted by the cliques which control

The Secretary of the Treasury has prepared
a scheme for the registration of foreign-built
ships as American. The details of his propo-
sition are not novel, having been suggested
and discussed, with few unimportant excep-
lions, in Congress. The fact that foreign-built
Eessels are to be brought into competition
with those few now produced by our own
struggling builders, will create an unpleasant

1t may seem a strange thing that the Legs-
lature Should be collected to interfere to pre-
yent railway corporations from charging
higher rates of freight between local points on
their lines than are fixed for carrying freight
the whole length of the road. Yet, this is
found actually necessary in the State; and,
what is worse, there is enough railway inter-
est in the committee in charge of the matter
TO delay and endanger the passage Of the
wished-for bill. The simple statement that
such condition Of things exists ought to COM
Del prompt action On the bill.

kepublcanism, it certainly cannot by Dem
oeratic victory; and to this last-named end
