Mr.. GREELEY In the Tribune of Thursday
had the following card which foreshadows the
course the late Democratic candidate propos-
es to follow:
The undersigned resumes the editorship
of the Tribune which he relinquished on en-
barking in another line of business six
months ago. Henceforth it shall be his en-
deavor to make this thoroughly independ-
ent journal, treating all parties and political
movements with judicial fairness and candor,
but counting the favor and depreciating tne
wrath of no one. If he can hereafter say any
thing that will tend to heartily unite tne
whole American people on the broad platform
of universal amnesty and impartial Suffrage,
he will gladly do so. For the present, now
ever, he can best commend that consumma-
ton by silence and foroearance. Inc vlctors
in our late struggle can hardly TALL to take
the whole subject of Southern rights and
wrongs into early and earnest consideration
| and "a, Them for the present, he RENTS it.
| Since he will never again be a candidate for
any office, and is not in full accord with eth
| err of the great parties which have hitherto di-
| vided the country, he will be able and will en-
deavoi to give wider and steader regard to
the progress of science, industry and the use.
full arts than partisan journal car do, and
he will not be provoked to indulgence in
those bitter personalities which are the recog
nized bane of journalism. Sustained by {
generous public, he will do his best to make
the Tribune power in the broader field i
now contemplates. as when human freedom
was in peril it was in the arena of potica
partnership. HORACE GREELEY.

Ahusn of the Dictionary.

One of the curious results of the late presi-
Dental contest is die changed popular signifi-
canoe of certain words. Time has been when
the word Liberal had a pleasant sound,
producing sort of fresh breezy effect and
conveying notion of freedom from conven-
tional restraints and the trammels of creeds
and declarations of faith which was quite
tempting to the average American. But
now, so abused as the term been by men
seeking to delude the people under fantas-
tic masquerade that its use gives an instant
suggestion of hypocrisy and fraud. The good
words "reform" aid spurity'' have derived
secondary meaning indicating corruption
and dishonesty; while ''civil service reform
in the mouth OF the man who openly prom
ised ratabe distribution of rum to those
who should ''help him raise his house" is
looked upon distrustfully as a snare and
delusion.
Time was when journal would be proud
to proclaim that it was mot an organ" but
such statement from any source would now
be received with general derision, since the
journalistic adventurer, who for six months
has been debauching that once respectable
paper the Tribune, announced with such fat
uous effrontery that the most bitterly parti-
san sheet in America was mot all organ''
So too charges of ''bribery" and ''corrup-
tion," which were once regarded as serious
accusations by cur people have come to be
received with a simple sensation of increduli-
ty not unmixed with disgust since the epis-
tolary Pike. Sand the rest Of the Glib
eraP' blackguards from all parts of the coun-
try have affronted the intelligence of the peo-
pie by loose allegations of those offences of
which the character both of the maligned
and the maligners afforded ample refuta-
ton.
1t may be that by and by when the mental
and moral effects of this crusade of deceit
and shame, SO fearfully rebuked by the peo-
pie, shall have died away, these terms and
Others equally misapplied will resume their
normal meanings and the dictionary again be-
come a reliable exponent of the significance
OF words; but at present the words maintain
their acquired uses and man would as soon
think of making an agreeable impression by
proclaiming himself bigot as liberal, and
it is decidedly more respectable to be called
partisan than an independent, which
means in this new parlance peculiarly Of
fensive and obnoxious kind of partisan, sort
of political confidence man seeking to obtain
credence on false pretences.
We may look forward to resumption of
the original use of words as we look for re-
sumption of specie payments, with hopeful
confidence. Both will be proofs of returning
health in their several departments. All hail
