REsUMiNa THE EDITORIAL L CuA1R.--The
card of Mr.. Greeley, announcing his re-
sumption Of editorial duties, should be
hailed as boon to the whole country.
He says:
A CARD.-The undersigned resumes
the editorship of the Tribune, which he
reiinquished to embark in another line
of business six months ago. Hencoforth
it shall be his ondeavor to mako this
thoroughly independent journal, treating
all parties and political movements with
judicial fairness and candor; but court
ing the favor and deprccating tho wrath
of no one. If ho can hereafter sny any
thing that will tend to heartily unite tho
whole American people on tho broad
platform of universal amnesty and i'm
partial suffrage, he will gladly do SO.
commend that consummation by silence
and forbearanco. The victors in our
late struggle can hardly full to take the
whole subject OF Southern rights and
wrongs into carly and earnest considera-
ton, and to them, for the present, he
rcmits it. Since he never will again be
candidate for any Office, and is not in
full accord with either Of tho great par
ties which lave hitherto divided the
country. he will be nblo and will endea-
vor to give wider and steadier regard to
the progress Of science, industry and
useful nrts than q partisan journal can
do; and he will not bo provoked to in.
dnigence in those bitter personalities
which are tho recognized bano OF jour
nalism. Sustained by generous public,
he will do his best to mako tho Tribune
q power in tho broader field it now con-
templates as when human freedom was
in peril it was in the arena of political
craftsmanship. HORACE GREELEY.

On tho Sd September, 1880, the light

4 DREADFUL Scene OF MURDER
Troppmau has qeen initiated at Scent
Clary, village in lower Hungary. Dur
ing the night Of tho 18th of October,
robbers broke into the house of an :nn-
keeper, Francis Czutsch, and took pos
session of about E210 worth Of money and
chattels. Everything was packed up,
and tho robbers were removing the bags,
when ono of the gang upset chair,
which awoke the landlord, who was
sleeping in the next room with his wife.
Mr.. Czutsch at once jumped out OF bed,
took a doublebarreled gun and knife,
and opened the door, through which he
fired two shots at the brigands, without
hitting them. The miscreants then
noored the unfortunate man, whom
they nearly stabbed to death. Mrs.
Czutsch, who was awakened by tho
noise. and hurried to the help of her
husband. was murdered most cruelty.
The robbers then got hold of tho six
children. tied agd gagged them, md set
the house on ire at tho two corners,
taking to aight with their booty. Tie
ill-fated house was coon in blaze, and
when tho first fire engine appeared on
the spot, the mother and the children
mad already been buried undoT tho faii-
ing timbers. The landlord succeeded in
creeping out Of tho fire, and has bcen
able to give some important informa-
tion, although there is little hope of his
surviving. He stated that the assassns
were nine in number, with faces black
ened. The police were actively search
ing for the murderers.
