The unnsturalized editor of the New York
Times who has made common cause with
Charles A. Dana, the pirate of the press,
thoroughly understands the workings of
the law Of libel in New York, es will be
seen by the following extract from the
Times of Wednesday: 1--WE have no libel
law worth mentioning. The persons who
care slandered might enter suit for libel,
''but they cannot bring their cases to final
hearing in less than five or six years, at
the very earliest. Jennings and Dana
thus acknowledge that there is no law in
New York that can reach them within a
reasonable time. No wonder they oppose
and dcnOunce the Poland law Dana is to
have full swing to libel and defame every
Republican ofice-holder who does not sub
NIT to his black mailing operations. Jen-
nings and the Times stand by and defend
him. Do they divide the sway

TIE Baltimore Gazette finds reason, based
upon a recent editorial, for congratulation in
the accession of the New York Herald to the
Democratic ranks Speaking ofths disintegra-
ton of the old Democratic party during its
late experience, the CARTE gives its New York
cotemporary the following two-faced and
rather doubtful compliment: SIN still palmer
words, is the Presidential canvass Of 1876 to be
contest of Well-ascertaiRed parties bearing
their ancient names, or is it to be what it was
in 1S72-a scramble with an abandonment of
party organizations What our own view is,
there is no shadow of necessity for stating. It
is in support, however, of that view that we
have to hail the advent of new and unlocked
for ally, whose co-operation-ifi it be persistent
will afford a new illustration of the power of
the press TO which we have alluded. If there
be any journal in the land that has done more
than all others to play fast and loose with
ancient party organizations, it is the New York
Herald. For years its tone in this respect has
been one of chronic sneer. It was literally the
chartered libertine. This temper has continued
down to a late day. Its tone, as to what It
dubbed 'Cesarism,' while it yelled an inward
antagonism to the outrage Of q third term, had
an air Of jocularity about it that was very puz-
cling. This being, as We have said, its per-
sistent tone, it is with infinite cOntentment we
hail what may well be termed new departure.
In an editorial article in which we detect .
master pen, the Herald announces its deliberate
retraction of all its heresies, and its slow but
sure conviction that the existence and discipline
Of nartias as baratofore understood In our
country, are essential to its Well-being, whether
our affairs are destined to be administered BY
one or the other"

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Boston Post says the Democratic view
OF the'situasion is at once comprehensive and
liberal. True, It c5nprchends the spells and
is liberal enough TO be willing to adopt any way
of winning them, no matter what, go long as it
succeeds.
Col. John Forsyth is prominently mentioned
as the Conservative candidate for Congress
man-at-large from Alabama. His political dis
abilities having been removed BY the last Cor
gress, he is now eligible, and il Is announced
that he is willing to accept the nomination.
A report is in circulation in Minnesota that
Gen. C. C. Andrews, United States Minister to
Stockholm, proposes to resign and return home
for the purpose of entering the field for the
United States Senate, in opposition 10 Senator
Ramsey.
For once the Administration seems to have
made an appointment which suits everybody.
All the papers we have seen approve Of the
choice of Mr.. Dsnnison as the head of the Com
mission for the administration of the affairs of
the District government dd iHtsrim.-ClieGgo

If We believed President Grant the best mani
for the place, we would heartily advocate his
denomination and vigorously urge his election,
should he be Successful in the convention. We

Express, (Rq.)
The New York Herald thinks the fortune of
the Democratic party in the next Presidential
election is Staked on its success in the New
York Stats election this year. Unless the
Democracy can rely with absolute confidence
upon the steady support of New York, it can
entertain no reasonable hope Of electing the
President in 1876. From this the Herald argues
that everything depends upon putting a strong
candidate in the field against Governor Dix,
who will be renominated by the Republicans.
The Herald then reviews the Democratic con-
stellation, and expresses the opinion that Judge
Church is the only Democratic candidate whose
nomination would be equivalent to an election.
Evidently Judge Church is no: SO sanguine in
this direction, since he "hangs back and pre-
fers his judicial position" 1t looks, according
to the Herald, as if Samuel J. Tilden would be
nominated, and admits that he would be
feeble candidate against Dix.

THE New York Commercial AdUertiScr
is doing excellent work in exposing the
unnaturRlized editor of the Now York
Times. Jennings is very angry, it seems,
because he has not received more consid-
Grafton from the President and the members
of tire Administration. The AdOsrtiSer, in
its issue of Tuesday, says: "Cowards and
"assassins only strike from behind. Why
"knhe President Grant over our shoulders

thief and bushwhackcr? Is every man

PEPTBLJCly ADDRESS


We present to our readers this morning,
in the form of supplement to THE Ma
TIONAL REPUBLICAN, the address of the
Congressional Republican Committee to the
people of the United States. 1t is an able
and statesmanlike document, which should
be carefully pondered by every voter. 1t
comprises q calm and truthful review Of the
history of our Government under Demo
cratic rule, during the several administra-
tons preceding the assumption of power by
the Republicans, and contrasts its results
with those achieved by the latter since 1861.
The imbecilhy of the Democracy, as eX-
hibited by ITS opposition to internal i'm
provements, its failure to protect and cher
ish our native industries, its abject submis
sion to foreign insult and the encroachments
Of foreign powers upon our boundaries, as
we'll as the inability to sustain and vindi-
cate the Government from internal dissen-
sion and disruption, are all portrayed in the
most vivid and conclusive manner. Then
follows a brief history of the suppression of
the rebellion and the abolition of slavery
by the Republicans, citation of the va
riOus reforms in the postal system, in the
land policy, the restoration of the public
credit the construction of the Pacific rail-
ways, and the efforts in behalf of cheap
transportation and the reduction of ex-
penditures, all effected by Republican legis-
latiOn. Taxation has been reduced several
hundred millions. The public debt has
been reduced many hundred millions at the
same time, thereby approaching the public
credit until to-day, by the various econo-
mics introduced, the burdens of tho people
are within their capacity TO sustain, and
they are enabled constantly to reduce
the Indebtedness of the country. We are
in the enjoyment of uniform system of
currency, based upon the public faith,
entirely protected from loss and equally
current in all portions Of the land. In this

latter regard only one thing remains to be
done. This is to place this uniform cur
rency upon the coin basis; an achievement
which is being gradually approached by
stages so easy as to avoid commercial re-
vulsion. Inasmuch as our departure from
the coin basis into the elevated r. ions Of
credit money was gradual, our sac return
must be by the same process.
The address closes with an admirably
clear and brief, though exhaustive exposi-
ton of the question of cheap transportation,
and urges the election of Republicans to
the Forty fourth Congress who are in favor
of the construction of the water routes
recommended by the Senate committee as
the most effective method Of controlling
and governing the railway freight tariffs.
1t is a strong and an instructive document,
which will well repay perusal.

"to the defeat of Horace Greeley, not by
