The Tribune says of Seward: To-day,
as the news of his death ia telegraphed
over the world, it is no exaggeration to
say that in every court and cabinet on
earth the tidings will come with some-
thing Of personal shook to the few who
govern The many. In the republics Of
Spanish America, the loss Of powerful
friend and patron will be mourued; tue
statesmen of Europe will recognize the
demise Of almost the only American
whom they have ever regarded as their
peer, and in the farthest East, in tue ut
termost isles of the sea, prayers will be
offered in strange tongues TO alien gods
for the repose Of tho aged chieftain,
whose white head and broken frame casts
suoh q wonder about his wide Journey
ings in the hamlets and the palaces of
India, aud Niphon, and Carthage.
After the death Of Mr.. Lincoln, it
was Stewards faith in human nature, his
confidence that other men we're, on the
whole, as good as be, which led, him to
believe in and to support tho policy of
Andrew johnson, for the Immediate
restoration OF the South. For this he
sacrifled his position in the Republican
party, and at the election OF General
Grant, without compliment or q
which he had administered during eight
vuff o1r
unfailing courage and an industry
and which We may long look in vain to
sec repeated.
