rilnent OF somewhat the same kind. Let
the late editors be recalled, and having re-
ceiyed carte blanche, let them conduct the
work for year longer, as they please; and
at the end OF that time. let the publishers
examine their ledger. We venture TO pre-
dict that what they may have lost will be
more than made up by what they will
have gained. But II this plan should not

The North American Review.

Among the throes and travails through
which the public mind is passing In the
process of emancipation from certain
ideas in which IL has long been spell
bound, the recent trouble between the
editors and the publishers of the venerable
North american ReritO affords an anus
ing illustration. 1t seems that the number
for this current month OF October had
been made up by the editors. includ-
ing mn article by Mr. TREscoTT of South
Carolina on the Southern question, and an
article imputed to Mr.. CHARLES +. ADAMS
Jr., on Tho Independents in the Can
vass, ne well rs some others not exactly in
ACCORDANCE with the political tone which
has Of late years characterized the work
The number appears To have been printed
before the publishers were aware of the
tendency toward broader and freer DIS
cussion which those articles eyinced.
.Ihereupon, difference arose between the
editors and the publishers, the former APP
pearing to consider that If they could not
be editors de fdctO and dc jlrc, they did
not care to stand in the editorial capacity
at all; ana the latter, that II they could
not do as they pleased with work which
they own and publish, they did not care
10 stand responsible for what portion,
perhaps the majority, of their subscribers
would regard as Il species OF treason to the
party of CpANr, HAYES, BABCocK, and
CHANDLER. The result OF the conflict wa.
that the editors resigned, leaving the forth
coming number on the hands of the pub
fishers, who issued it with an announce
ment that, in this interreguum OF editorial
management, they, the publishers, had no
resource but to let it go out as 1t stood,
but that they do not hold Themselves re-
eponsible for ii.
IL would Ill become ua, who are ignorant
OF the terms on which these editors took
charge OF quarterly journal which they
did not own, to undertake to say what In
this particular case was the proper editorial
province We look upon tho occurrence az
aprelty strong symptom of a kind of in
tolerance which is characteristic OF the
community where the North Amer
team is published. or course the publish-
srs, who pint and sell the Rcricp as a

The indications are that the Brooklyn
voters mean TO take their affairs more than ever
out OF the hands of HUGH McLAUGBLIN and
his lieutenants this fall. They have Jared well
for long time. and have grown rich out OF the
tax ayers money. They have come along the
highway OF politics from nsh markets aud gin
mills to brown.stone houses elegant equlpages,
and diamond pins. and the PEG lie have suffered
for 1t. When we get reform in Washington, we
want reform In our great cities. and the per-
petuatlon of McLaughlinisn will insure It no
more In BROOKLYN than Grantism will in Wash
ington. Indeed, we see much that is similar In
the two both are vulgar, cunning. greedy, and
dishonest. GRANTS msrule and the Mo-
LArGHLtS oisarchy should end together. We
commend TO the voters In Brooklyn any coall-
ton that has for It's end the restoration OF a
pure municipal government in all of It's
branches.
