EDITORIAL NOTES.

The New York Tribune, dated Deem
Der 9Th, 1871 contains this sentence: "Mr.
Greeley to the best of his knowledge, has
been quietly minding his own business at
and about home, and is happy to confirm
the statement that he is too cratic crotch
ETY., and unreliable to be a party to any
back-stairs in trigue for the Presidency. +"
And at the same time that this was pub
Iished, the aonclusiveIdegeneracy of midg
soul was secretly engaged in dis
honorable negotiation with representative
Democrats, to throw up principle for
place.
The libellous Greeley Tribune has been
obliged to Jake back its oft-repeated
story about Mr.. Thomas Murphy present
ing Long Branch cottage to the Presl-
dent. But it does it in an amendatory
manner, and manufactures another lie,say-
ing that fund of $50, 900 was subscribed
by seven conference.-the. Murphy being
one Of them-and placed to Gen. Grants
credit in the Bank, and this was drawn
out to pay for the cottage. We hope
there is not man in Kenosha County who
will be mean enough to circulate this
amended SANDER.
Carl Schurz has been T5uton again, and
has come down to the common level with
the rest of Greeley's supporters His st.
Louis speech, composed Of the fag ends
Of senatorial debates, produces no effect,
in that it is bereft of all truth. His
charge against President Grant to the
effect that he had been offered official
patronage by the President to vote against
his convictions of duty in regard to the
annexation Of San Domingo, is absolutely
unfounded in fact. The President ex,
presses his earnest desire that Mr. Schurz
will at once publish the letter which he
claims to have in relation to this pretend.
ed prefer.
Since the above was written, note
from Gen. Pleasanton has been published,
il which he says that he was the friend
Of the President who made oYertures TO
Schurz. Now, we would like to know
what confidence can be put upon Pleas
anton's statement, his oftrepeated a5ser.
ton, that he had an impression that Off
cial patronage was intended, from the
conversation he had with President Grant.
An impression Is that the kind of evil
dence that the honorable CD Schurz ex-
poets the people of America to base their
judgments upon?
A decision was delivered by Judge
Williams last Monday morning, in TIE
matter Of a petition for an interlocutory
injunction against Rev. Charles Edward
Cheney, rector of Christ Church, Chica-
go. AS the case row stands, Mr.. Cheney
will be permitted to oficiate in his usual
capacity with freedom until after the re
suit OF the argument for the perpetual
Injunction is heard.
Political institutions are means and
not an end. If peace is kept with for
eign powers, and life and property art
protected at home if the revenue il
fairly collected and economically spent
if Individual freedom is left to every
man, as far as is consistent with the right
of others, we believe the government ha
discharged the principal offices which
can undertake. And we submit that GU
present government has done all that i
here enumerated, and with confidence il
the President, and in the men who haV
had to do with the public affairs for b.
past tour years,we invite every man to al
