THE WORK OF TIE GRAND JURY

The investigations Of the committee
appointed by the Grand Jury at the last
term OF court resulted in very extended
presentment, which will be found else
where, against the county treasurer and
other officials, bat the indictments which
have been framed by the Attorney Gen
eral form'only part of the charges which
may yet be pressed to a solution. We
Sre far from being indifferent to the
calamities of others and regret the
necessity which made us an instigator of
an investigation which may, by snany,
be attributed to spirit of malace. We
are prepared to lie abused and vilified
by partisans and defenders of the treas
urer according to the extent of their
several obligations to him, but it should
not deter US as public journalists from
continuing to expose corruption and
fraud, or from publicly rebuking official
misconduct.
1n'these degenerate times it is easier
to purchase defense for misdeeds than
TO have error pursued and unished, and
but fer the Press all of the misdeeds of
officials in the State and National
politics would go unwhipped of justice.
Tax-Unions and Democratic clubs are
as nothing compared to the wholesome
Efforts for reform by an unsubsidized
press. National, State, and county
officials have amassed fortunes on.moder-
ate salaries right un der the noses of Tax
Unions and political clubs. and when
hue and cry is raised tor an investigation
to account for misapplied funds thou
sand voices rush to the rescue. We have
no desire To zee any injustice done and
shall be prompt to try and correct any
wrong impressions we may have pro.
duced If judicial investigation shall
prove the Treasurer guiltless, while
lconscierciousness of having done our
duty as public monitors will vindlcate
US whatever may be :te verdict tor or
against the accused officials.

There 10 young man In Brooklyn whose
case is 40 distressing that IL merits serious con-
| sidersuon, even In weather like this. He writes
as follows to The SUN:
very nice ouns icy has asked me e write poetry
on ana he thought That she i wstna for and e1
Peslng ~ poetry worries me day and night Can you
We should be glad to do so. This young man in
Brooklyn Ia lucky to possess the acquaintance
OF very nice young woman whose interest in
Sim has manifested itself In this 1atterina re-
quest Cor poetry. We should be sorry to hear
that her 90, I'd opinion OF him had been marred
by inability on his part to furnish her album
with verses OF an appropriate character. We
take II for granted that he will refrain from at
tempting original poetry. Many young men In
BROOKLYN and elsewhere have tried II, and we
are informed that their almost invariable eIpe-
rience has been that 1t Is much easier to- put ones
self on record as a ridiculous donkey than as
poet. Our young friends good sense will lead
him to take the less ambitious and safer course.
He will ransack his memory and such works OF
poetry as may be at hand for q sentiment ap-
propriate to the album OF this particular very
nice young lady. In making the selection he
Will find plenty Of occasion for the exercise OF
dellcacy, discrimination, and good taste. We
need not remind him that much depends upon
the disposition and tastes OF the nice young
lady. II she IL seriously inclined, verses Of a
light and trivial character would be out OF place.
II she Ia frolicsome and CAV, elegiac poetry
would probably be unacceptable. II she finds
pleasure in reading swISBURNE and RossBrTr,
the excellent but somewhat austere produc-
tions OF DIR. WATTS would hardly please her; or
" she especially admIres the sad yet stately
measures Of CHILDs A. NJ, our friend could not
do worse than TO make his selection from the
works OF authors like Prior and GAY and
SWIFT We might go so far as to give specimen
selections suited to variety Of tastes, but the
very nice young person In all probability reads
The SUN, and her discovery OF the verses In
| print at date antecedent to their appearance
| In her album would place the young man OF
BROOKLYN In a most mortifyng position.

Grants Real Nature.

1t would be more agreeable, If circun-
stances justified It, to say some pleasant
things of Gen GRANT as he is about TO
retire, with the consent of the whole peo-
Pile of the United States, from public office.
Unhappily Gen. GRANT affords little op-
portunity for the indulgence of any such
amiable disposition on the part of public
journalists. His demeanor has recently
changed, and not for the better. Freed
from the restraint of further hope of
office, he seems lately TO have given loose
rein TO his passions, and to have made up
his mind to crafty his private revenges
while he has an opportunity.
Mr. DYER is superseded as District At
torney at st. Louis Mr.. JEWELL is forced
from the Cabinet, Mr.. PRATT is driven
from the Internal Revenue Bureau change
follows change, and we may expect quick
succession Of similar events.
1t is not uncharltable to infer that the
real characteristics of Gen. GRANT are now
shown to the whole public. Indeed the
conclusion seems irresistible, that the thin
veil which hopes for the future heretofore
induced him TO wear has now been with
drawn, and the American people behold
him as lie really IL.

Better Vote for Peter Cooper.

Mr., PETER CooPER's soft-money notions
appear to us erroneous; but in other re-
spects we regard him as far preferable to
Mr.. HAYES for President He Is not in
favor OF a permanent Aristooraoy Of
Oniceholdersi and even his soft-money
notions dwindle into insignincance in com
parIson with Mr.. HAYES project of essen
TALLY changing our republican system Of
government.
We do not regard Mr.. CooPER's i'd
vanced age as any objection to him, al
though we consider 1t fortunate that Mr..
TILDEN ia much younger. In truth, we
should prefer IL Mr.. HAYES were TO be
elected that he were much older than Mr..
COOPER; and every true patriot should

The Truth no Longer Insulted.

The Republican journals are now very
warm and almost unanimous in their de-
nuncations of President GRANT.
These journals are saying to-day sub
stantially the same things which THE SUN
began to say seven years ago, only they
say them with more vehemence and pas
sion. But the things were true then, and
they are true now.
In addition to the bitterness OF indigna-
ton, amounting almost to personal ami
mostly, at present evinced by our Republic
can contemporaries, there is one other in
teresting difference between their utter
ances to-day and those of THE SUN for
these seven years past. They speak out
when President GRANT Is near the end of
his last term of office, and is sinking from
power, his popularity destroyed by his
own acts, his reputation blasted by bis own
pervorsity, vindictiveness, and baseness
The SUN, ON the other hand, spoke ou
when he was still in the height OF his glory
with great and powerful national party
supporting him, and with thousands upoI
thousands of time-serving journals and po-
lticians to laud every offence he perpetra
ted, to glorify every folly he committed
and to belle every frank and honest criti-
cism of his character and conduct.
However, it is a good thing that the
truth is now generally recognized aud de-
clared; that the real facts of history are
no longer insulted and illuminated.
