BOULEYARD CHANGES.

Taxpayers viii find matter of great interest
to them in The TRIBUNE this morning. The
Courts have decided adversely to several
claims against the Treasury, which will save
largo amounts. The Commission on Contracts,
winch has been in session for nearly if not
quite two months, closed its work last even
ing with several important decisions mate
rally affecting property-holders' purses
We announce further the outlines of pro-
iected improvement of the greatest magn-
tude and of the utmost consequence to the city.
To state it briefly, the proper Department
has decided upon continuation Of the Boule-
ward from e-hundred-and-ffty- ninth-st.
away into Westchester County, which is an
improvement everybody will recognize as
highly desirable for the development of the
upper part of the island. But instead of fol-
lowing the general line OF the Kingsbridge
road, as was contemplated when the Boulevard
was originally suggested, the line deviates at
One-hundred-aDd-ff fifty -ninth-st., the present
northern terminus of the Boulevard, and by q
circuitous route reaches the top of the high ridge
from Font Washington to Tubby Hook, and
runs through the magnificent suburban
grounds at those points. Whether this
deviation of the route will be for the
general good of the whole city or the particu-
lar benefit of the prOperty-owners at Fort
Washington, cannot for the present be de-
cided. That is for the taxpayers generally to
determine, and we simply call attention to ii
as our duty to taxpayers requires. 1t is GER
tainly at once a magnificent and costly enter
prise-more so, perhaps, than the Riverside
Park project; but this much may be said OF
it, aside from the question of cost, that once
completed it will help to make New-YOrk
what it is rapidly becoming-one of the most
beautiful and magnificent cities of the globe.

1 BOTHERED PAIR OF VOTERS.

Two persons in Connecticut personally I'M
known to us, have forwarded to this Office a
Joint pathetic letter. They declare that they
honestly read both the Administration and the
Liberal journals that they wish to vote for
the best man, but that their Judgment has
been confused by the contradictory articles
which they have every day been reading.
They state the case thus: eve find if we
"yote for Gen. Grant that we shall be also
"yoting for military satrap who has used
"his high Office for his own personal aggran-
"dizement and profit shameless bribe-taker;
ga dull tool of politicians, who has
" subsidized his immense army of offce-hold-
d" ers to secure his reelection; ostracised all
"who did not favor his denomination from
" the party inaugurated the most shameful
"nepotism ever known; spends his time in
smoking and driving fast horses; associates
" with the dregs of society; in fine, man
whose evident and painful incapacity for
"the duties of his station is only excelled
"by his total neglect of them; whose whole
record of office comprises a continual sue
"cession of blunders and unconstitutional de-
"signs unparalleled in the history of the
country
Very good; these are the charges against
DR.. Grant, are theyf A nice lot of them, are
they mott Surprising only two-thirds of them
to be true, the case looks rather bad, does MT

THE POLICY or HATE.

The Administration managers are making
great variety of mistakes, and Of all these
none is greater, zone less defensible, than
the attempt to utilize the different events of
the Rebellion. For instance, the documents
from the Confederate archives having been
purchased at a good round sum, under the
pretense that they would be useful IN resisting
the unfounded claims of those assuming to
have been loyalists, one paper is selected from
the mass and published 1t told nothing new;
il nroved at most that the South attempted to
make war after desperate, and, 1t may be
admitted an indefnsible fashion, by raid
with fire and with sword upon Northern cities.
But the thing had a sulphurous smell; it re-
called the days of fraernal strife, their terror.
their wrath, and their hatred; and that was
enough for men who feed upon the misunder-
standings of sections, and turn local suspicious
and animosities into handsome personal for
tunes.
We are obliged to believe that the advent
urers who have undertaken this disreputabe
game of stirring up a strife which has served
its purpose in the past and can serve no good
purpose in the present or the future, do not
in the least comprehend the present position
Of political parties. This is the result of a
healthy popular instinct, of feeling as strong
as it is natural that if peace cannot produce
its legitimate traits in the accord of hereto
fore contendng sections, we are not only still
suffering all the moral and many Of the np-
terial evils of tho civil war, but we are in i'm
ninent danger of its active renewal at some
future period. What we really need Is to get
the war element out OF our politics altogether,
both because it may be the seed of future
commissions and because it lamentaby him
ders the work of a solid reconstruction, based
not upon Congress laws, not upon edlcts'
ukases, and proclamations, but upon the re-
Cancellation of the people who fought
for the Central Government, and OF the
people who fought against it. The Liberal
party owes its very life 10 general
recognition of this truth. IL exists because
the hearts of the citizens DO actually hunger for
u real and gov heavy at the prospect OF a

LIBELS.

The Tines prints, without dissent note
from one of its friends begging it not to be
dishearened at libel suits, but to persevere in
It's attacks upon the companions of honest
Greeley" "They can never get verdict
against you,n says this comforter and cOun-
selor, "even were the sO-called libels untrue
"and malicious" The inference of course is
obvious: you may lie as much as you please,
ruin private character, defame and SANDER
your enemies and disgrace yourself, without
fear of the law. Why should you restrain
your malice when the victims can never get
verdict The Times under its present manage
ment has shown US depths of degradation in
journalism such as New-York had not wit
messed before in a quarter of century; but
this letter, with its outrageous defiance Of the
common decences of civilization, surpasses
all the past offtnses of that paper.
There was time when the journal which
gives currency to these shameful and cowardly
sentiments was universally honOred for
its decorum. Henry j. Raymond at
least understood that an editor was response
bic to some higher tribunal than jury, and
must keep his tongue from evii-speaking, ly-
ing, and slandeTiDg through some higher
motive than the fear of damages. Imagine
the indignation with which he would have
scourged correspondent who urged him to
befoul the personal reputation of his political
opponents, because they could never get
verdict against him, even were the sO-called
"libels untrue and malicious! The men who
now sit in RaymOnds chair have no more
sense of responsibility to the public, respect
for truth and Justice, or conception OF the
dignity of their calling, than so many idiots.
The honest Journalist breads doing wrong to
any man, not for fear of the legal conse-
quenccs, but because it is an abuse of his
power and discredt to his profession. But
the editors Of The Times fear nothing but a
cudgel and constable.

from reading both sides. And now they ask
Honestly, what are we TO do about this ~ To
this we answer: If you have any brains ex-
ercise them This is not the first Presiden-
tiai election I'm which contradictory cbarpes
nave been banded about with good deal
OF looseness; and it is not TO DO the last.
oitt all these accusations; read listen to
speeches; ascertain facts; and having ascer-
tanned the facts make up your decision, and
cast your votes accordingly II you arc not
equal to this effort you are not worthy TO
vote at all. We take the liberty, however.
or pointing out to you the intrinsic differ
ence between your two bills of indictment.
That against DR.. Grant is mostly made I'd
from histOry-that against Mr. Greeley ia
mainly guess wOrk-not so much statement
OF what he has done as conjecture as TO
what he will do. Has DIR. Grant used his
high Office for his own personal aggrandize-
ment and profit That is to say, is he per.
sOnally richer for being President than no
would have been if he had not been Presi-
dent' 1t has been charged, and we think il
has been proved, that he is; in fact, it is a
matter about which we believe well-infOrmed
men have no doubt SO with the other charges
brought against the President. They belong
to the past; while the misdeeds of Mr.. Gree
ley are matters of the future-if we except
the dreadful accusations against his style of
dressing. If our correspondents believe, upon
the largest and most liberal consideration OF
the matter, that Mr.. Greeleys election would
conduce to bloodshed and anarchy, let them
vote against him; but we are free to say dis
tinctly that, in our opinion, not one intelli-
gent and well-jnformed voter in the land be-
lieves so. We leave the case to be decided
by our correspondents upon their own state
ment of it.

80 much solemnity by President Grant de-
clares that "no head Of a department., nor any
subordinate officer of the Government, snail,
as such officer, authorize, OF permit, or assist
"in levying any assessment of money Tor po-
"litical purposes, under the form of voluntary
contributions or otherwise, upon any per-

IF even the half of what the released patient
of Bloomingdale and the former attendants at
that asylum for the insane even approumates
the truth, the Governor owes 1T to the COM
munity and to humanity to order immediate
investigation of the institution. The story, as
we present it, is full Of horrors, and revolving
in the extreme. But it must be remembered
that the story as now told in affidavits OF the
witnesses, against the institution and the
keepers, is of necessity &c parte. The other
side of the story, which may very greatly
qualify that now related, remains to be told
and may possibly be developed in the pro-
ceedings of the Court to-day Until that Is
heard we withhold opinion on the matter, ex-
cept to say that enough has already been dis
closed to warrant public investigation of the
institution, that the truth as to It's manage
