yEWSPApER AND Az ORGAN.

The n. \. Times allows one Of its correspond
ents to state what was very generally recog-
nized before, that THE TRIBUNE has chronic
habit of beating other newspapers, in fact that
il is afflicted with sort of mOnOmania for
publishing news ahead. Well, the correspond
ent is right though injudcious, and in cOrrob
Grafton Of his statement we might cite scores
of interesting incidents of late occurrence
which The N. Y. Times has been compelled to
copy from THE TRIBUNE or go without. But
let us content ourselves with going back less
than week.
I. On Sunday last The Times copied Gen. Burnsdes
speech in favor of President Grant from TIE TRIBUNE
of the day before.
II. Yesterday it mutilated from THE TRIBUNE files Of
Monday the important speech Of Schuyler Colfax in IA
vor of Grant.
I'LL On Friday last it had word Of the contest in
Apollo Hail. the most important local political incident
Of the day.
w. Yesterday 1t content to take what little 1t had
OF the important developments in the Boomingdae In
sane Asylum from the columns Of THE TRIBUNE OF the
day before.
V. In yesterdays Times its editor mutiated the re-
port of the Tammany Hall meeting, copied from THE
TRIBUNE OF the previous dates.
VI Possibly The Times Of to-day may contain some
facts about the Riverside Park awards and assessments
II wants to publish this neyst is welcome to the full
report in yesterday TRIBUNE.
VII II The Times discovers that project is or
foot to spend OF the public funds to extend the
Boulevard and build road at Fort Washington tc
the neglect of the Kingsbrdgeroad it will be because
II finds the facts In THE of Tuesday and OF TO-
day.
VIII When it announces II il does, the indict
ment OF its Editor will probably be in the language OF
TIE TRIBUNE Of yesterday, which contained the fact
clusively,
TX THE TRIBUNE yesterday published in full the i'm
portant letter of Cen Famsworth OF Illinois, declaring
for Greeley an Brown, OF which not word appeared
in The Times As 1t is not newspaper, t may think il
desirable to suppress this; but why should II
have allowed itself TO be beaten by TIL
TRIBUNE in the publication OF Senator Car
penter's speech, made Saturday, at Madison
wisconsin and fairly reported the following Monday IN
THE TRIBUNE or Postmaster-General Cresweps speech
at Detroit II did not give lue of either, and its readers
were forced to The TRIBUNE get these utterances
Grants leading orators.
But we began intending only to make q
brief paragraph. If we do not stop, the list OF
important events which THE TRIBUNE has
published ahead, precisely as the correspond
ent of The New- York Times declared, will
prove "a full record of all the important events
of the day. We commend that correspondent
for promotion. However little he may be IN
accord with his paper, he stumbes into the
truth on occasion.

Great is the Personal PrOnoun. Kings and
editors may affect to despise it, and may put
on airs with their nominative plural, but a."
when it stands for great man like Stanley
Matthews, is such an interesting part of
speech that our curiosity grows hungry for
personal particulars. Nor does Mr. Matthews
leave us in bursting ignorance. Knowing that
mankind in general was prevented from lis
tening to his wonderfully long speech on the
ed of August, the Hon. Stanley Matthews has
printed the same on broadside and has
put us under ten thousand obligations by for
warding to us copy. We are reading it by
installments but, the weather being hot, we
do so with but little rapidity. Yet from his
own statements We have found out what Mr..
Stanley Matthews is, and also what he is not,
and, in point of fact, all about him. We

for the bubble reputation, which, however brilliantly It
may glow with irrdescent glory for time in the sun

GLOWING with irridescent glory for a time

Somehow it reminds lis of Mr.. Stanley Mat

MR.. GREELEY AND THE UNION

There are those less malignant than Gen.
Dix and Lieut. Gov. Patterson who, with more
excuse of ignorance than they talk of Mr.
Greeley as infrm of purpose with regard tOsthe
preservation of the Union. Let us try to en-
tighten them.
When Gen. Dix, after being the Free Soil
candidate for Governor in 1848, became q
Buchanan Of1ice-holder and public champion
of that infamous Lecompton Constitution by
which q desperate attempt was made to
thrust Slavery down the throat of protesting
Kansas, Mr.. Greeley opposed him to the best
of his ability. The Union which Gen. Dix
thus sought to maintain was not the Union
desired by Mr.. Greeley.
When Mr.. Thurlow Weed publicly recon-
mended, late in 1900 that the Republicans
should consent to the legalized extension of
Slavery over all Federal territory south of
lat. So 80, Mr.. Greeley objected to saving the
Union in that way
When the Slave Power, having deliberately
riven asunder the Democratic party at Charles
ton in the Spring of 1860, thereby enabling
the Republican minority to choose the next
President, proceeded to withdraw their repre-
sentatives from Congress and thus give the
Republicans a working majority in either
House, Mr.. Greeley did not attempt to coax,
beg, or wheedle them back again. The
Union he desired and hoped to see established
was not the Union as it was"

There is no longer room for doubt, that the
official count in North Carolina is going to
show the defeat of Judge MerrimOn, and the
election of Gov. Caldwell by majority prob
ably exceeding 900. The reported official vote
of over 80 counties is in; and. judging by the
experience of the last three days. the changes in
the figures given for the rest are quite as likely
to be In favor of the Administration candidate as
against him. The Western counties do not
show the large gains for MerrimOn which our
friends at Raleigh expected. Whether this is
solely due to the terrorism produced by
adrOit threats of prosecution Under
the Internal Revenue laws, or arrest
for alleged participation in the Ku-Klux out
RACES of the last year or two, or whether it is
to be attributed directly to false count
ing after it had been ascertained how
much was needed, cannot yet be definitely
stated. But it is believed that sufficient facts
are already in Judge MeTimOn's pos
session to warrant him in undertaking
a contest. Meantime, though we lose
the Governor, the substantial fruits of
victory remain with us. We have carried five
out of the eight Congressman; have defeated
Mr.. Settle, the President of the Presidents
Renominating Convention; have swept the
Legislature, thus securing the defeat of
John Pool, the odious Senator and
have in our hands the power of installing
Merrimon provided the honest returns should
show him fairly elected. All this is far
more than we had any right to
expect, far more than any one did
expect up to the hour when the
first favorable returns began TO come in on
the night after the election. We should have
been glad to carry the Governor, and believe
the votes were honestly cast which should
have secured his election; but even without it
the bulk of the victory is ours.

A correspondent writing from Vienna ap
pears to consider war between Austria and
Russia as not very remote, owing to the ag-
gressive designs of the latter power. We are
unwilling to believe that Germany, which now
has the peace of Europe in its hands, will per-
init such a catastrophe. In this opinion we
are confirmed by the remarks of the more than
semi-Offcial PrOvinsiaI Correspondent of Ber-
lin, which states that it is the purpose of Ger
many to maintain and strengthen the bonds
between Austria and Russia.

Not much is known Of the Territory of
Dakota, a region which will soon be open to

notes, which we print on another page to-day.

Judge Jere. s. Black, well-knOwn as an
able political debater and writer has just
published a letter defining his views on the
Presidential question. His letter, which is

Administration which has so signally failed to
answer the expectations of the people.

made so much of by the Grant men, does not
seem to be very great political event.

We have information derived from a re-
sponsible gentleman who assures us he is pre-
pared to substantiate what he says, that Judge
Barnard has lately asserted at Saratoga that
he has bought up fourteen Senators to vote
for his acquittal. While this boast is doubt
less false there seems reason to believe that
Judge Barnard made it, 1t is an insult to the
court which is trying him in keeping with the
acts for which he is on trial; and it is right
that every Senator and Judge of the Court of
Impeachment should know what the accused is
saying of them.

Senator Trumbull's damaging assault is per-
haps as thorough as any. That portion of
Mr. Trumbulrs speech at Chicago which we

his ineffective endeavor TO make his own fig

Montana has probably elected Liberal
Delegate to Congress in place of w. Ii.
Clagett, the sitting member Martin Maginnis,
supported by Liberal Republicans and Dem
ocrats, is ahead throughout the Territory, and
the few counties into which Montana is divided
give him decided majority as far as heard FROM
Clagett was elected to Congress by major
ity of about 500; but the Territory has not
fourished under Grantism, and the natural
tendency of the people Is toward Liberalism,
although the result of this election is very
doubtful as yet. The indications that the
cause of the Liberal Reform is gathering
strength everywhere are mo more marked
anywhere than in the Free States and Terri
tories of the extreme West and Northwest.
The young Empire which is growing up on
the shores of the Pacific and Puget Sound,
stretching eastward to the Rocky Mountains,
Will be for decentralization and the largest
lawful liberty to the local governments.

respondent and prosecution is complete IN the

evidence was not important; but an old

A fire in the ancient city of Nijni-Novgorod
during the great annual fair is serious disas-
ter. The city is chiefly built of wood, and
though fire-proof bazaars are used for the sale
of merchandise, much perishable wealth is sure
to be destroyed by the flames. The great fair
brings together, probably, more valuable and
varied mass of goods, wares, and natural pro-
ducts than can anywhere else be found in one
mart. Fabrics from distant parts of Asia and
Europe are there collected; and merchants and
traders from every portion of tho globe are
present at the great sale.

1t seems, according to TRIBUNE dispatches
from Arkansas, that Gov. Hadley has decided
to declare martial law in Pope County Tins
step is to be deplored, and the people, who
dread the awless actions of the State militia
as much as they do those Of the Sheriff and
his gang, mediate flight or surrender. 1t Is
intimated that Senator Clayton's hand Is I'M
der this violent measure; if so, it is certainly
for no good purpose. And it Is already q
boast in Administration circles at the West
that they mean to carry Arkansas They have
as much chance TO carry it by honest means
as to carry Kentucky.
