It is stated that the iron-masters of Philadelphia
propose to erect an iron monument to the memory Of
Mr. Greeley in Fairmount Park. The Tyrone penny
Democrat wakes indignant at this, and thinks it
would be an open, direct insult to the memory Of
the great friend of reconciliation" because the IRON
masters as a class, contributed so much to the de-
feat of Mr.. Greeley" and for them now to erect
monument to his memory would be "base, con-
temptible hypocrisy" Perhaps it is wiser to look at
the matter in another light. Perhaps these men
who now propose to honor the memory of the great
champion Of American Industry understand the
character of Mr.. Greeley better in the light Of his
DEATH That the event would have such an in
huence, we have always confidently anticipated.

NJ. Gambetta's organ, La Rfpubliq.' Fran
caise, probably reflects the opinions OF the
extreme Left, when it predicts connections
and crises in France. That such disturb
ances are inevitable is apparent. just now
the Government has so far tranquillized the
Right that its hoarse murmurs are no longer
heard but the Left is beginning to growl
ominously. NJ. Gambetta's newspaper voice
saws that the Governments trimming tactics
disquiet the country. Unfortunately, just at
this time the country shows steady growth
of Republican sentiment The Monarchists
are routed in their ancient homes 1t is the
| Republicans who demand Cancellation of the
Government. The political condition of
France justifes them in expecting something
| substantial.

Singularly enough there is an Anti-Cruelty-to-
Animals Society in Paris. in which AntiCruelty-
to-Men Society would seem to be at least equally
necessary. The cruelty practiced in the education
of learned dogs has specially attracted the attention
Of the Association, and an appeal has been issued
upon the subject. Unfortunately We shall never
know how much pleasure and pride dog takes In
being instructed, OF whether, after he has become
learned. he regards even the fioggngs by which it
was obtained with sort of pleasure. An educated
dog. however, does MT seem to be necessity OF
social life, except, perhaps in respect of cunning.

great spelling-match occurred last week at
Elmira, in one of the public schools. Two hundred
pupils entered the lists and contested 10 the spell
ing of one hundred words. Singularly enough, the
prize was copy of Websters Unabridged Diction-
airy, q book which, more than any other, has made
havoc of photographed prescriptions and ira
ditions. There was period of DIR. Webster's life
when he spelled in a most astonishing way, and
there is a volume of his, not easily to be OBJ
tained in which the spellings almost photographic.
He was compelled, of course to modify his views
somewhat: and so will every innovator of the kind
be who forgets the relation between photography
and etymology.

In much less time than was anticipated a
jury of average intelligence has been secured
to try Stokes for the murder Of James Fisk, jr.
The opening of the prosecution, this time
conducted for the people by Assistant District
Attorney Fellows and for the widow Of Fisk
by Messrs. Beach and Fullerton, will be had
to-day, and doubtless the trial will conclude
before the year. Much of the evidence will
be by deposition, and thus the case will be
fastened. The prisoner has requested his
counsel, in writing, to base his defense en-
tirely on the ground of justifable homicide;
and though much new matter is to be intro
duced going to show, it is claimed that Fisk
had set a price on Stokes's head, the trial
will not be materially heightened, as the new
defense will exclude much of the tedious
medical testimony.

THE PRESIDENT SINCE THE
ELECTION.

The Washington dispatches of the
9Th, to the Missouri Republican give
the following interesting items:
A member of the cabinet was asked to-
day what the course of the President
would be toward Greeley, Fenton, Trum-
bull Schurz, SIMMER and the other Re
publicms who had opposed his election.
The otfc,r answered that the Presi lent
would treat them with severe |, ting
alone; that the proper course of the Pre- s.
ident and his cab met would be marked
indifference and disregard for them
that they had left the party, and the
fault was their own, and that the Presi-
dent would keep along in his old paths
and not be influenced by anything that
had taken place in the canvass. The
enmity of the Administration towards
Schurz and Trumbul is most marked,
and it is safe to say that every effort Of
the bite House ring will be put for
ward to remove Trumbull from the Chair
manship of the Judiciary Committee in
the Senate, The encouragement is
warmly in favor of Senator Trumbull's
removal, and it is thought that his dis.
mands that the President wi make of
the Senate. Senator Schnrz will also be
removed from his place ON the Foreign
Relations Committee, because the Adj
ministratiOn fears his oppos ton to
some of its pet measures, such as the
annexation of San Domingo, which is to
be again attempted. Ftnton, as Chairman
of the Committee on the Contingent
Expenses, will probably not be dist urbed
as the Committee is only of nominal
Importance. A revision of the Senate
Committees mus. according to the rules,
be made at the beginning of every ses-
sion. While the Administration would
like to have Banks removed from the
Chairmanship of the House of Foreign
Committee, they do not see just how it
can be done, as the Speakers appoint the
committees for whole Congress, and
not for single session, and Speaker
elaine has no right to remove COM
mittee-man after his appointment, except
by this direction of the House. The
President, according to report, is more
anxious to know what Mr.. Greeley is
going to do, what the Tribune is going
to do, and what Whitelaw Reed is going
to do, than anything, else. He is GER
tainly not Indifferent to them.
From the same source we learn that
the President has received several anon
ymous letters threatening him with
assassination. The threats were treated
as the emanation of some mind dis.

THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT
AND VICE PRESIDENT.

So many people. even those of more
than average intelligence, fall into error
in regard to the election of President and
Vice President, especially if they trust to
memory, that We have thought it worth
the trouble of searching up the law on
the subject, TO the end that doubt NAV
be removed. All parties conceie the
election of Grant and Wilson, yet as
fact in law neither has been elected.
Presidential Electors have been chosen,
who are bound by only moral obliga-
ton to vote particular way, but if they
choose to disregard public sentiment and
violate their obligations, they may vote
for any two citizens. one of whom is not
an inhabitant Of the same State with
themselves Yet it is not 10 be supposed
that any Presidential Elector will prove
unfaithfUl. However, should President
Grant die before the first "Wednesday in
December, (the day on which the Electors
are required by law to meet at their r.
spectiye State capitals and vote for Prrsi-
dent and Vice President,l the Electors
would be at perfect liberty to vote for
any citizen possessed Of the requisite
constitutional qualifications; and if such
citizen received a majority of all the
Electors, he would be the Presi lent elect.
The same rule would apply with equal
force in case of the death of Mr.. Wilson,
who is regarded by common courtesy as
the Vice President elect. After the
Electors meet ON the first Wednesday in
December, and cast their ballots certi-
fed statement Of the vote is sent by
special messenger to the Seat of Govern
ment, directed to the President of the
Senate. On the second Wednesday in
February subsequent to the choosing of
Presidential electors, the ballots are
opened in the presence of the two Houses
of Congress, and the result, if any citizen
receive a majority Of all the votes, is de-
clared by the President of the Senate
II the person declared to have received a
majority of the votes for President should
die before the 4th of March, the Vice
President would act as President from
and after the 4th of March, in the same
manner as if the President had died in
office. Should the person chosen as Vice
President die between the second We'd
nesday in February and the 4th of March,
the office OF Vice President would remain
vacant for the full term, as in case of the
Vice President dying in Office: and the
President of the Senate pro tenn. would
preside over that body, and succeed to
the Presidency as in case of the removal,
disability or death of the President, until
the disability be removed or a President
be elected.

MORE CONTEMPT.

The editor Of Chicago journal was
recently cited to appear before the Su-
preme Count Of Illinois TO answer for an
alleged contempt in having commented
upon particular case before the Court
in such a manner cs to strip that tribu-
nal of portion of the dignity it claims.
Judgment has been rendered declaring
the editor guilty of the contempt, for
the reason that his article was ''calcu-
lated TO impede, obstruct aud embarrass
the administration of Justice" One of
the -Scott-disSented from his
associates. This case calls 70 MUD an
event in the early history of California:
in 1850, VIM. Walker of Nicaragua mem
DRY, was editing the San Francisco
Herald, which paper had been very
severe in its criticisms of the conduct of
Judge Levi Parsons, then upon the
Bench in the Fourth district Court.
Walker was cited to appear and show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt. He refused to obey the
citation, when an attachment for his
person was issued aud he was brough,
before the Cour. in the custody OF the
Sheriff. He suffered imprisonment by
Judge Parsons order, but was finally
released. Through Walkers instru.
mentality Judge Parsons was brought
before the Legislature of California,
then (IS51l in session at San Jose; but
the Assembly failed to find articles Of
impeachment, and so the accused was
never put upon his trial before the
Senate.
The action of the Illinois Supreme
ourt will bring down upon that tribu
nal the anathemas Of nearly the entire
press of the country, for it is diticul
to see by what rule of law the Supreme
Court could punish the editor of a news
paper for commenting upon its conduct
unless the inferior Courts, even Justices
Of the Peace, were possessed of similar
powers; and if the Courts can curtail the
press in its course in regard to the con
duct of Judges, why should they not Dc
so in the cases Of individuals? TIL,
venality of an unscrupulous journal Car
better be borne by the people than thu
tyranny of corrupt and despotic Judge
An upright and incorruptible judiciary
will always command popular respec
and public confidence, despite the un
just assaults of the press. Let the free
dom of the press be maintained-th,
Courts, when guided by law and justice
can maintain themselves against upjus
assaults.

OF meeting, this morning, VIM. T. Robin
son, brotherin-law of Mike Gray, well
known on the Pacific coast, who has just
returned from diamond hunting expe-
dition in Arizona. We did not precisely
understand where the fields bearing pre-
cclous gems are to be found, but Mr.. Rob-
lnson displayed large quantity of gar.
nets and what appeared to be rubies. The
stones called diamonds in a rough state
look good deal like opals. They NAV
prove to be genuine diamonds, which we
trust will be case, and if it is so, an En-
ma mine is comparatively valueless in
view Of the rich results to be obtained in
these magnificent placers. Mr.. Robin
son goes to San Francisco to-day, where
the stones will be submitted to the inspec-
ton of lapidaries, and their character de-
cided upon. Other large stones have
been sent TO New York. We shall have
more TO say about the matter soon. Utah
