VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
AN ORGAN OUT OF TUNE.

TO the EdfIor OF The Tribune.
SIR: The N. Y Times appears TO be added.
It up truth and fasehood honesty and corrupon
and the various opposing parties In our city IN way
that no sane could possibly do. Tho melancholy
fact that the Committee Of Seventy, partisan as 1t Is
could not in common decency ndorse all the Custom
house candidates for the Assembly has so enraged 1t
that its blows are rs wild as those OF pugilis with
both his eyes closed. Let select few OF tho asser
tons contained in the first columns Of its Issue to-
day:
II says Mr Shaw the Liberal candidate for Congress
I'm the With District, was Member OF Assembly
last Winter" This is simply untrue. Mr.. Shaw was
never member Of the Assembly. The member for the
IXth Assembly District was Stephen Pel, the Grant
candidate this year; who reported by Col HAWKINS
"a erumbng about Speaker Smith, because the latter
would not certify his expenses to aud from Albany
when he rode free on railroad pass.
q 1t denounces James IRVING candidate Tor Assem-
bly, in the XVIII District, but in the very next column
commends Nicholas Haughton as candidate Haughton
declined in order that Irving might be nominated in his
place Partsans OF The Times faction are now endeav-
oring to elect the latter.
a Itsays James A. Deering is tho "nominee OF the
Republicans in the XIXth District Mr. Deerng Is a
Democrat He is the candidate OF Edward jones' the
faous corporation printer He Is also the partner in
,nsipess Of Judge Josiah Porter one OF tho Harlem
Court-house Commissioners whom The Times has been.
day by day, denouneing.
Jhe Times IS evidently Reform Journal but anything

A UNION SOLDIER TO HIS FORMER COMRADES.
FORMER COMRADES: | cannot resist the I'M
mise TO write few words about the struggle That Mr.
Greeley mentions in OF his recent speeches, as follows:
e matter had been len to soldiers Of The armies to set;
tie believe coantry would have been pce snd renu vars
that those solder Ter. ee 'I S1o srs H. 10 pss each

e mas Of those struggled against ther aud with respect for
1 ,s g b . ' bdy Of those men who up non army
was he follower eo1issares ana suffers Sho %Ie
Soul si.er secession had been killed"
Even Horace Greeley never uttered truer words The
old soldiers who fought the good fight honestly read In
the newspapers the of those whO during the war;

MORE BEAUTIES OF CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
To me EdttOr or The tribune
SIR: One little fact is, perhaps, significant
as showing how much regard is paid to Civil Service Re
form by the Administration men here right at tb'
door of the President. Government clerk told me- O.
his own accord the other dav, that he served az cei
m the late election in this city, receiving nay thIe
al the rate OF s. per day. his pay IRON the u .
ment continuing meantime, Of course. lhls GeIh ia,
been granted no regular leave OF absence ana e5e eSc
tion services were performed during hours When ~
should have been nv Work l9f lie Y. :. 20.
Doubtess there were many other Government CLERKS il
