A Card from Horace Greeley.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Tribune TO-
morrow will publish the following:
A CARD.-rhe undersigned resumes the
| editorship Of The Tribune, which he relin
pushed on embarkiug in ANOTHER line OF
business six months ago. Heneeforth it
| shall be his endeavor to make this a thor
oGghly independent journal, treating all
parties and poiticS: movements with judi
cial fairness and candor, but counting the
favor and deprecating the wrath of no one.
If he can hereafter say anything that will
| tend heartily to unite the whole American
people on the broad platform of univer-
sal amnesty and impartial suffrage,
he will gladly do so. For, the present,
however, he can best commend that con-
summation by silence and forbearance.
The victors in our late struggle can hard
ly fail TO take the whole subject of South
ern rights and wrongs into early and
earnest consideration, and to them for the
present he RENTS il. Since he will never
again be candidate Tor any Office, and is
not in full accord with either of the great
parties which have hitherto divided the
country, he will be able and will endeav-
| or to give q wider aud steadier regard to
the progress of science, industry and
the useful arts, than partizan journal can
do, and he Will not be provoked to indul-
geDce III those bitter personalities which
are the recognized 5ane of journalism. Sus-
tanned Dy a generous public, be will do his
best to make the Tribune a power in the
broader field it now contemplates, as when
human freedom was in peril it was in the
arena of political partisauship.
HORACE GREELEY.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 1872.
What Grant says about it.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Presidents
said to-day that apart from the political
issues involved he was gratifed that the
people had indicated bis private character,
which had been assailed during the canvass.
Numerous messages were received by the
President to day, congratulating him on his
reelection. Many persons called at the
Executive Mansion TO tender similar ex-
pressions.
Cabinet Changes.
That there viii be at least one change in
the Cabinet at the commencement of the
next Presidential term there is no question.
Secretary Fish, by his own desire, will re-
tire. There is no probability of Attorney
General Judge Williams withdrawal, as he
recently remarked to friend that, although
he could have been elected Senator from
Oregon, he declined being a candidate in
order that be might remain in his present
Office. There is good reason for stating
that any remarks with regard TO other
members of the Cabinet would be mere
speculation.
broken Promises Renewed.
It is too early to anticipate the PRESIDENT
action i'll the future concerning reforms
and measures of administration further
than his intimation to-day that be will en-
deavor to shape his official conduct so as
10 meet the expectations of the country and
to unite the people in stronger bonds of
peace while by all means in bis power
promoting their welfare at home and
abroad.
Views of the New York Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Herald's
election estimates give to Grant 28 States
and to Greeley eight, or two Hundred and
Sixty-eight electoral votes for Grant to
ninety for Greeley. The popular majority
for Grant is placed at $4,000. The Her
aid editorialiy says that whether the result
will be accounted for by the popular
strength of Gen. Grant on the one hand or
the weakness Of Greeley and the feebIeness
of Liberal Republicans combined with the
Democratic fOlt on The other hand, it is in
many respects the most remarkable of any
Presidential election in the history of the
country.
The Tribune gives Grant 26O electoral
votes at the lowest, and 81 for Greeley,
with the rest doubtful. There is scarcely
parallel, it says, in tine completeness of the
route and The triumph. 1t agrees that Lib
erallsm could not Withstand the enormous
OUTLAWS ofmoney expended by the Rspu6li-
cans on the canvass. Grant now has
four years more of power with heavy Con-
gressiOnal msj0tities, and in whatever re-
form he may seek to effect he will have the
aid of the Tribune.
The World places Grants popular ma
Jority at 100000. 1t says that the defeat
is cue to tue Democracy surrendering to
Greeley; that the Generalization conse-
que; upon the New York ring populations
OF year or two ago had disheartened il,
and caus the nomination at Baltimore;
that the party bad not recovered in time
fro Il the TammAuy taiIt 10 do anything
until too late.
The Times gives Grank 800 electoral
balance doubtful.
The Sun says the Liberal Republicans
have been faithful 10 their pledges, but the
Democrats have beaten Greeley by not
coming out to vote.
The Tribune adds: The Liberal move
