THE TEXAS PACIFIC.
The San Diego World" on the
New York Tribune.

new YORK Tribune.
Probably there is no more mourn
full degeneracy exhibited than
now presented by the New York
Tribune. That great journal
founded and SO long and so ably
conducted by that philosopher,
patriot, statesman, philanthro-
phist, and honest man, Horace
Greeley, has fallen from its high
estate and has literally gone to
the dogs. ooh what a fall was
there, my country men !" Truth,
honor, honesty and candor have
fed. What is Whiteiaw Reid
compared to Horace Greeley ? AS
well compare the blackness of
midnight darkness with the
brightness and glory of the noon
day sun!
The mantle of the great :and
good Greeley has fallen on I'M
worthy shoulders !; on the Shout
ders of the editorial ape, White
law Reid, the degenerate success
sor of a great and illustrious edi-
tor Truly this creature has
"stolen the livery of Heaven to
serve the devil in." Pretending
to be a friend of the whole coun-
try, this miserable sycophant and
time-server, hob-nobbing with
the bloated mOnopolists of the
Central Pacific, threatens with
his ire any member of Congress
who votes for Scott's bill. His
impudence is only equaled by his
pusillanimity.
The great caricaturfst Mast, oc-
casionally portrays this creature
with striking effect, IN. Hdrper'S
Weekly.
This much we have said by way
of preface to the following edito-
rial article which we find in the
San Diego World. 1t handles the
creature without gloves. 1t is as
good a pen picture as Mast draws
with his pencil, and ought to
accompany one of his sketches of
the thing:
The Virtuous Rage of the New
York Tribune.
That gigantic dwarf, the New
York Tribune, places at the head
of its editorial column, after its
own name, the folio wing words in
handsome capitals
BY HORACE GREELEY
When Greeley died he left 10
that newspaper as legacy a repu-
tation for personal editorial hon.
esty which should have served as
a fortune through half a dozen
generations of WhitelaW Reds.
But his boys have been so eX.
travagant in the use Of his bounty |
that if now they were dragged as
bankrupts into the court of Truth |
they could not pay cent on a
dollar.
The Tribune of to-day wishes to |
save the white man of the South |
from Grant and Serbian, from
Schurz and the ghost of Sumner,
from Kellogg and carpet baggers,
from Northern prejudice and
viOlence,-talks Of bene-
fetal reconstruction at the South
as GreeleyA.himself might have
dOne,-and yet will not let the
South have:the only great, practi-
cal assistance that has yet been
namely: the Texas anu
Pacific Railroad.
The Tribune has one dropping
and one suspicious eye. With
one eye it sees the manly form Of
Scott, armed with no other wea-
pOnS than undeniable facts and
incontrOvertible arguments, and
then cries out: eve dare any
member of Congress to vote for
ScOtt's bill If he does we shall
put his name on Our black list ~
If the present power of the Ifi.
6u7e were as great as its unscrupO.
Iostity, that "black list" would
mean for public man, PurgatOry.
But let us be thankful, in despite
of that paradoXical old tyrant-
lover, Carlyle, that wickednesS
and weakness are near cousins.
With which of its eyes does the
Tribune look at that successful
