PLAIN DEALER,
HORACE GREELEY.
w. X. MEAD, Editor

The great Journalist, philanthropist,
and scholar, Horace Greeley, closed
his earthly existence on Friday, the 20,
Of November, 1872, mourned by a
Republic His life has been an illus
tration of the dignity, honor, and fame
within the reach Of the youth Of the
country if they will make proper use cf
the abilities they have in fighting the
battle of life, instead of waiting for
the extraordinary opportunities that
wealth, education, and influential
friends bring with them.
The complications and Inconsistencies
Of party politics, found him while COM
batting the democratic party, too DEM
ocratic in the real principles of human
freedom and citizenship, for the democ-
racy.
As a journalist. he was original,
copying from his own giant intellect
and resources, rather than echoing the
views of others. BY nature and edu-
cation, he was opposed to every system
Of injustice and oppression, whether
originating in one political party or
another.
These characteristics made him I'M
safe As partizan leader, and unpopular
with the demagogues that follow poll
tics for profit.
In the campaign of 1852, the Tribune
while supporting Scott for the prcsi-
dency, spit upon the platform that de-
clared the compromises of 1850, and
the fugitive slave law final settlement
of the questions involved between the
North and the South. The defeat of
Scott and the humiliation Of the Wing
party released Mr.. Greeley from the
bondage of party platforms, and the
fear of injury to the personal claims
and interests Of political aspirants.
From that time the Tribune made
direct fight with the democratic party
in behalf of Truth, Freedom, and Jus-
tice, and triumphed, that triumph leav-
ing democracy in 1872 where Mr..
Greeley saw his own party twenty years
before-clad in the habiliments of the
grave.
His memory and his fame are the
property of the nation, and the people,
and the future historian will see that
both receive their ample measure of
justice. But his work was accomplish
ed when the proclamation Of emancipa-
ton was issued by president Lincoln,
his power and influence in American
politics had then brought about the
events that he had battled for since
1852. Peace to his ashes, and honor
to his nobly earned fame.

HEAVEN BLESSED CEiAR1-
E'Y.

49,
The obstacles in the way of a well
meaning charity, are the ostcntation
and pharisaical pride of donors, and
the retiring and sensitive modesty of
honest poverty !: the unmistakable wit
nesses and the certain indications of
real suffering That class of poverty
which exposes itself to the public gaze
in every thoroughfare and public place,
attracting attention through its loud
mouthed complaining is but little more
deserving of charity, than the gifts os-
tentatiously paradcd in churches and
public places upon Christmas trees for
our own family and friends is entitled
to be called by the name of charity.
The widow who maintains a scmb-
lance of plenty from an empty cupboard
and comfort from cold hcarthstone,
and sends her children warmly clad to
school, carefully darning their rags into
decency, though the effort exhausts
her own scanty wardrobe and robs her
Of the last crust in the house, and who
would almost as soon starye as to solicit
aims, is better object Of charity than
the loud mouthed and often lazy street
beggar, or the well fed, warmly clad,
and well schooled child dwelling under
the roof of him who gives his aims to
them publicly that the world may
praise his kindnesses and generosity to
those the law would compel him to ed
ucatc clothe and feed.
Very many of those struggling with
the terrors of poverty and privation,
have seen better days and are as sensi-
tive in feeling and as refined as those
that fare sumptuously and are clad in
purple and fine linen. Every such family
has its secrets, and it's decent sense of
propriety revolts against that kind Of
sympathy that must peer into their
scanty lardcrs, or feast upon history
Of their misfortunes before giving the
garment that prevents freezing, Or the
meal that checks starvation.
The blessed charity approved Of
heaven, is as modest and retiring as the
dcstitution it relieves. A charity is
doubly valued when charitably done.
1t should be as quietly and as unosten-
tateously consummated as God bestows
upon mankind the boundless gifts Of
earth's goods and heavens promises.
Some one of the sacred writers hath
said HE that giveth to the poor lend
eth to the Lord" Then let our CHAIR
ties, be they much OR little, he so
dispensed that when the balance sheet
of the great hereafter shall be exhibit
ed, there will be something our due.
Let US remember too, that the rich
gifts we may publicly display to the
admiring gaze Of the people in churches
or other public places will no more
create for us the credit of lending to
the Lord" than it will satisfy hunger,
or drive away the pinching frosts of
winter from those who merit our Char
ity.
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern'd in charity;
All must be false, that thwart this one
great end
And all Of God, that bless mankind, OF
mend"

"Ery1tEl Crush ed to Earth. ;"

Such degenerate papers as Pomeroy's
Democrat are Boosting Of the vitality
of the democratic party; its devotion
to principles; and quoting, "Truth
crushed to earth shall rise again, The
eternal years of God are hers" This
is all CANNON. Pomeroy, OConor,
Alexander H. Stephens, and their
dupes reelected President Grant, and
this truth is not crushed to earth, nor
should it ever be. Nor should the pco-
pie hesitate to give the President that
such pure patriots CD have elected an
honest, cordial support. If as they as
sumo to believe now, they have inveig.
led their friends and followers into a
den of prostitution, it is time to dis
count the purity of their motives, and
cease to follow their devious ways.

DEMOCRATIC JUDGES IN NEW YORK CITY
Frightful Picture Of Judicial Corruption.

Frightful Picture of Judicial Corruption.
The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial telegraphs as fol-
lows:
Judge Cardozo has disdained to make
any statement explaining how it has hap
pened during the last four years, that when
his go-between, Gratz Nathan, drew mon
ey in bank, it passed Immediately to Car
dozo's credit in the same bank, the aggre-
gate of said deposits exceeding thirty
thousand dollars. CardOzo has declined to
communicate with reporters on the sub
Ject, on the ground that it would be un-
dlgnitied and contrary to his settled rule.
But the most damaging revelations yet
made about CardoZo are published to-day.
The official record of Blackwell's Island,
shows that in four years Cardozo has re-
leased one hundred and sixty criminals,
many of them the vilest and most danger
Gus in New. York. They were sentenced
for an average of six months, but Sc we'd
less than a single month. Adelaide Beau
mont, keeper of house of the very worst
character, shows she was charged five
thousand seven hundred dollars before she
could obtain her release on hdbeuS, and
that she was finally discharged and per-
mittCd to resume her vile business. Large
amounts were obtained i'll the same way
from others. In some instances, prisoners
were brought from the island by officers in
charge at night, taken to the house of the
Judge, the latter granting a hobedS, and
while the prisoner and officers remained
on the sidewalk, the lawyer of the GRIM
inal went into the Judges house and re-
turned with an order of discharge. Albert
Meyers, gambler, got out for eighteen
hundred dollars, and now owns the game
keno. The father of wayward young
man rescued his son for two hundred dol
lars, paid to a go-between lawyer. Judge
Barnard dabbled i'll the same business, but
discharged only forty to Cardozo's one
hundred and sixty.

DEATH OF PROF. MORSE.

Prof. 5. B. Morse, the great electrician,
full OF years and full of honOrS is gather
ed to his fathers! The hand that caught
and harnessed the lightning Is cold IN
death. AS man of scienceIhe has won a
name that will last while civilization con-
tinues as one of the nOblest and truest
benefactors. In the invention of the elec-
trio telegraph, which came perfected from
his hand. he conferred upon the race a
boon second only to the art of printing. 1t
was the boast Of one of Shakspeare's airi-
estand most imaginative character that he
"wouId put girdle round about the solid
earth in forty minutes.n This fancy of
the great poet it was Morse's to realize.
No one fact is more suggestive of the spirit
of progress of these times than than histO-
~ of the telegraph. Less than thirty
years ago, Prof. Morse was laughed at by
the foremost men of our land when he
asked from the Congress of his country a
small appropriation to enable him to put
his telegraph in successful operation. But
the world is now filled with his fame. His
career has been a most happy and success
full one Born in Massachusetts, and edu-
Gated at her free schools, an ardent patriot,
devoted Christian phiIanthropist, he has
lived to see the most distant nations
brought into daily and friendly inter-
course through an agency of his sole crea-
tion; and in the enjoyment of an ample
fortune, with an open and unfettered in
telIect, having the respect and heart love
of millions, he has, after life devoted
with most signal success to the bettering
of mans estate, gone down to his grave in
the full possession of "honor, fortune and
troops of friends" Happy in his life and
its results and happy in his death, we
may appropriately say of him, in the
words of Burke, " Hail and FAREWELL"

THE CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE AND
VOLCANO.
Rivers Run Up Stream-Land Sinks and
People are Killed.


People are Killed.
Further advices from San Francisco
give the following details of the earth
quake in InyO county, Southern Califor-
MIA, on the 26th ult:
"At Lone Pine a terrible scene ensued
when the first shock was over. Nearly
the whole pOpulace were buried beneath
the ruins. Cries for help and screams of
pain from the wounded beneath the ruins
filled the air, while those who escaped were
calling for aid to rescue fathers, mothers,
wive and children. The fist shock was
followed in quick succession by three 9TH
ers. Over three hundred distinct shocks
were felt between 2:30 A. NJ. and SUNRISE;
in fact, the earth was in constant tremble
for over three hours. A chaSm was opened
extending thiTty-five miles down the val
ley, ranging from three inches to forty
feet in width; rocks were also thrown from
their places and rolled down into the val
ley. AtSwanZea, Colonel Tregallas of the
Smelling works was killed. Great desc
lation prevails among the inhabitant of
Lone Pine. A dispatch to-day from Wis
ALA says several shocks were felt in that
city last night.
additional advices from InyO county
place the number killed by the earthquake
on Tuesday at 80, besides 100 wounded. In
the desert country stretching from Owens
Lake to the Mexican line are innumerable
craters not long extinct, besides several
mud volcanoes, and it is supposed that
some of these old volcanoes may be in
eruption again.
At Tibbett's ranch, fifteen miles above
Independence, forty acres of ground sunk
seven feet below the surface of the sur
rounding country. Big Ovens lake has
risen four feet since the first shocks.
Owens river ran over its banks, depositing
shoals of fish on the shore; afterward it
receded. Through Lone Pine the earth
cracked, one side remaining stationary
while the other sunk seven OF eight feet,
leaving wall of earth extending over
three miles in length where formerly was
level plain. Innumerable cracks were
made throughout the valley. Kern and
Owens rivers turned and ran up stream
for several minutes, leaving their beds drv
and finally returned with largely incrpas-
ed volume. There has been no parallel to
this earthquake since the year fSl2, when
the Missions of San Juan Capistrono and
La Purissima, in Southern California.
were destroyed. OF course the earthquake
is the matter of common conversation
throughout California, but creates not the
slightest apprehension outside the district
affected"
