Refo!rIla. !!

The uprising OF the people in support Of
Greeley and Brown is the expression of their
desire for reform. In every department Of
the Federal administrator there is demorali-
zation and corruption. N'hese are the natural,
results of the partizan ajms which rule all the
actions Of the administration leaders, and Of
the low tone Of tharacteg Of the President.
He has shown that he enfe5ed the Presidency
with the purpose oimaking the office an i'm:
strunient for enriching himself and all his re-
lations Of every degree. He has acted steadily
upon this purpose. The people see, with
shame and amazement, that the man who was
enriched by the gratitude Of the adation, for
his over-rated military services, could not free
himself. after he had assumed the Presidency,
from his Unsuitable avarice. They see that
this man has not been content with making
the Presidency source of profit to himself,
but that he persists in using it for the ag-
trast between Grants idea of the Presidential
Office and that Of Washingto ton aid jefferson
With them the Office was great trust. and
their sense of honor would not permit them
even to entertain the thought Of rersonal or
family profit in connection with fhe position.
With GIANT the Presidency is made the
means of building up his own fortune and
providing every relative with a source Of
gain A
is it any wonder that there should be cor
ruption and demoralizatien in the public SER
viccswhen such is the example of the Execu-
tive? The war did much to debase the tone
of official morality. Tie vast disbursements
of the government called around it horde
of adventurers, many Of whom crowded
themselves into office. and carried into
office their own dishonesty and greed. But
the low tone of t,rant's character has done
more to lower the standard of public service
than any other canse-more than all other
causes put together. Is it any wonder that
subordinate officials are willing to look upon
their positions as instruments Of personal
profit. when the President, whois their head.
and should be their example, regards the
Presidency as gift, and is willing to exhibit
himself as the champion giit-taker9 Tire
tone Of the public service cannot be main
tanned when suca man is its chief.
In this respect The people demand reform.
Tliey wish to see a man iii the Presidency
suhn.is not only himself honest and upright,
OUT VINO mas an eA.sitrd standard of puhlic
morality nian who will not toIel ,to ,r;ft
taking a-or corruption in his subordinares-a
man who will bring to the Presidency the
personal purity. the incorruptible integrity,
the steadfast uprighlncss. which were the
honor and glory Of the Office In the better
days OF lie republic. Such man is Horace
Greeley.

Greeley in New York.
Twenty-one tons of Grant campaign docll-

How a Free Man Talks.

Soon after Mr.. Greeley's action i'm bsiling
jeff. Davis. in 1867. he was notified that it was
contemplated to move his expulsion from the
Union League of which he was member, or
to formeEly censure. his action at their next
meeting. On being notified of this. he aub-
lisned the following letter:

to your end by 9 direct, frank and manly
way. Don't sidle off into mild resolution
of censure, but move the expulsion which
you propose and which deserve, if deserve
any reproach whatever. All [ care for is.
that you make this a square stand up fight,
and record your judgment by yeas and nays.

DEATH ON THE RoAD.-From Mr.. Demass.
just down from Snake river, we learn the fol-
lowing facts: On the 18th of this month, a
man got on the coach at Taylor's Bridge,
there being no other passengers, and when
about ten miles from that place died in his
seat. 1t is supposed that the deceased came
from Helena, Montana, having escaped from
a hospital there. This opinion is advanced
by some teamsters, who thought they recog-
nized him. He was ali American, had black
hair and whiskers, was well dressed, but
wore no coat. There were no papers or any
other sign from which to tell who the lInfor-
tunate man was or whence he came; but the
Helena papers may be able to give some in
formation regarding him. His remains were
decently inferred at Mrs. Corbett's station,
near Cedar Point. Corinns Reporter.
