greatest innovations the country

herself defrays the whole cost Of

Horace Greeley used to affirm
that newspaper men were the
most patient people, as a class, on
earth, and he was not far from
right, though there are times when
patience ceases to be a virtue.
Nearly everybody in the west
ern part Of Michigan knows Burr,
who used to start a newspaper
about once the year round, gener-
ally bringing them out in Grand
Rapids, but sometimes making a
flying trip to other points. Burr
could stand to be told that he lied
about his circulation, was on the
fence as a politician, and that he
didn't know anything about pub
fishing a newspaper, and when
men threatened to sue or thrash
him, he only smiled a sad smile
and wished batmankind wouldn't
get excited. During a religious
revival in Grand Rapids Burr was
converted, and it frequently hap
pensd that religious people called
at his Office to talk with him. One
day minister came in, and after
talking for awhile he proposed
prayer. He was in the act Of
kneeling when his foot struck one
of the outside newspaper forms,
which was leaning against a leg Of
the stone, ready to be lifted up,
and over it went, making half a
bushel of "pi." II
Burr looked at the ruin wrought.
thought of the two weeks of over
work, and commenced taking of
his coat, saying " I'm trying to be
a Christian and set good exam
pie, but rat my buttous if l won't
knock h--ll out of you in just two
minutesl" The clergyman backed
down stairs in no time, lodging
the lye-brush on the way, and
Burr backslid at once, and sent
down for a pint of stimulant.-

Their neighbors' faults to see and hear
Good Lord deliver us!
From all the pomp and pride innate
or little men who think they're great,
While fools around them fawning wait,

From all the love and hate Of those
Who go around with turncd-up nose,
Whose only merit is their clothes,
Good Lord deliver us!
From all the girls that walk the street
With Grecian bend and cramped-up feet,
And think they are so very neat,
Good Lord deliver us!
From every swell with staggering gait,
Who struts about with head elate,
As though the world did on him wait,
Good Lord deliver usl
From every one who will pretend
To be a firm and faithful friend,
That he may gain some selfish end,

favor Of conciliatory measures in our deal
ings with the White Lesguers. Not
particle of evidence, the dispatch goes On
to say, "has been furnished by the Ala
"Lama Democrats, or anybody else, that
"the United States troops in the slightest
"degree interfered with the election, and
that, con the other hand, the subordinate
military officers were so bound up by

"feel authorized to do anything or extend
"any help whatever to the election officers,
except when called upon to assist United
Estates marshals in the execution of writs
"of the United States courts" In other
words, the TINES correspondent truthfully
conveys the idea that while the military
authorities have been denounced for inter-
ference, and while great odium has been
attached to the party on account OF the
presence of the troops, that presence was
wholly inefficient to secure peace and the
rights of citizens to cast their ballots in &C.
cordance with the dictates of their con-
sciences. The rest of the dispatch is made
up of the old and Oft repeated stories of
"ostracism, withdrawal of business and
loss of employment amoRg Republicans, "
of thousands of men who voted the
Democratic ticket against their convic-
"tion, from fear of violence" and of
"many Thousands more who failed to vote
sat all for the same reason" We rejoice
that this truth comes to light from such an
unexpected quarter. Let the few men in
Congress and elsewhere who have been
deceived heretofore by the Times misrep-
reservations pay attention to this complete
retraction. -.

TUEspAY MoRNING:::::::::JANUARY 5, 1875,

VARIOUS RUMoRs are afoat regarding
a change of policy on the part of this Gov
eminent in its relations with Spain. The
simple truth is that while the Administra-
ton recognizes the changed condition Of
affairs in that country, and the fact that
Republic no longer exists there to enlist
American sympathy, the instructions to
Minister Cushing were, from the outset so
pointedly urgent, as regards the Virginius
case. that they require no alteration, even
under the present circumstances when we
are called upon to deal with Monarchy.
In the future, however, any new deVel-
opment that may arise may become the oo-
casion of more determined action.
The controversy regarding the garbling
of the Presidents message, or that part of
it relating to Cuba, has given rise to many
speculations and rumors which have no
foundation in fact. Among these is re
port that the particular portion of the mes
sage alluded to Vas changed after the
synopsis had been printed, and before the
entire document was sent to Congress.
This is, most assuredly, untrue.

TRUTH FROM 4 STRANGE QUAR-,
TER.

We have all along blamed the New
York Times for the credulity, not to say
gullibility, with which it accepted the con-
Predictions of the stories of Southern out
RACES furnished by the partisan agents Of
the Associated Press in that section. It
was TO some extent misled by its own cor
respondents, who were sent into the South
10 write up the situation pending the No
vember election campaign. but we are in
chned TO believe that the deception which
ii suffered was mainly due TO its lack Of in
formation regarding the true character of
the Associated Press agents. Gradually,
however, as 'tMr. Jones's Yahoo," as the
New York World calls him, gets &C
quaint ed with the details of American pol
itics, he is induced to admit into his col
umns some faint glimmering of truth
regarding this important question. In
another column we reprint from the Times
Of yesterday a special dispatch from Mo-
bile, Alabama, which furnishes the first
evidence we have seen of the ''Yahoo's''
inclination TO make the undoubted facts of
the case public. The dispatch begins with
the remarkable statement that $50 faT the
evidence is very strong, and abundantly
"proves thechaTges of outrageous violence
f'and intimidation against Republican voters,
" especially against colored Republicans.
In that single sentence is to be found full
and complete refutation of every assump-
ton of the Times and all its arguments in

THE whole story of the ''sly side-wink"
to Nr. Dawes appears in our news columns
this morning. An imaginative New York
reporter virtually confesses that he wrote
lie when he penned the paragraph regard
ing it. Another reporter, equally unfor-
tunate, was compelled to admit that he had
no reliable foundation for the statement
that Mr.. Beck's name was found registered
at the Fifth Avenue hotel in conjunction
with that of ex-Postmaster King. 1t is
proper 10 state, in this connection, that the
sub committee unanimously agree that Mr..
Scott, instead of winking at Mr.. Dawes,
simply requested that be might be ques-
toned regarding the business of other
PEOPLE.

In a letter printed this morHing from Washing

may safely regard as well deserved, high tribute
to the capacity and integrity OF A. B. Mullett,
late supervising architect Of the Treasury De-
partment. 1t is gratifying to hear General Boyn-
ton say that in ten years acquaintance he has
never had reason to doubt the integrity Of MT.

opportunities 70 make himself rich illegitfmateIy
than Mullett, but his aim was to make for him

this, he retlres from Office with good character
Cincinnati has reason to thank Mr.. Mullett and
be proud Of him. But for him we should not have
had the fine building which is soon to be an en-

lett has many peculiarities. One OF these we are
glad to be able to believe, is honesty.
