An AMT1BLE GRAND JURY.

The Special Grand Jury of the Court of Oyer
and Terminer have ended their long labors
which they began last November, and have
been discharged. They have done much good
work, though they have been hampered, delayed
and embarrassed by influences which The
TRIBUNE has exposed. In their final present
ment they make some important suggestions.
Every one who has given any study to city
affairs must feel the force of their objections to
our present system of personal taxation, and
must admit that the system should either be
greatly amended or should be abolished alto
eether. In their review of the coupon frauds In
the Finance Department, and the thefts in con-
nectiOn with arrears of taxes and water rates,
the Grand Jury distribute some well-descryed
censure.
But the great fault OF this body has
always been its excessive amiability, and its
criticisms are of somewhat too bland and gentle
a nature. When diseased parts of the body
polite are to be purified, the actual cautery
with white-hot irons is needed rather than the
delicate application of soft poultices. The
Grand Jury have made no startling discoveries,
however, in connection with the coupon frauds.
This will be bitter disappointment to those
apologists for Commissioner Thompson who
were continually clamoring about the enormous
sums of which the city had been defrauded III
the Finance Department, their sole object beng

It certainly does look as though Courtney, the
oarsman who never rows, had justly incurred the
professional ostracim with which he is threatened
Nobody believes in any of the many excuses he has
from time to time made for failing to falh his en-
gagements Nobody believes in his stories of plots
and waylayings and Outrages which he has put for
ward so frequently. In fact, he has earned for him
self the reputation of Thoroughly untrustworthy
man. and even though his professional colleagues
should give him another opportunity it is extremely
improbable that the public will consent to put con-
fdence in him again. What the real cause OF his
habitual breaches of engagements may be. it is per-
haps useless to conjecture, but the public have
learned by this time that he be trusted to
row when he is announced to do so, and this fact is
sufficient to rule him out from all future matches.

froth of any news concerning his strength Now
il starts in to defeat his election after the same
fashion. 1t will no doubt practise equal persever-
ance and ingenuity and reap the same reward.

n1SrrNCTTON IND A DTFFERENCE

DISTINCTION IND A DIFFERENCE.
The Senate minority report on the Danviile
riot exhibits the same Obtuseness OF PERCEPTION
which cbaracterizes all Democratic documents
of the kind. To the Democratic, and especialy
70 the Southern Democratic, mind, all riots are
alike. no matter what their melting cause ana
so the minority Of the Senate Committee lug III
n reference to the Cincinnati riot, ana try 10
show by that occurrence that the investigator
of the Danvile affair was uncalled for, ana
was q purely partisan business. NOW IL
il necessary to show that between Cln'
cinnati and Danville there is not only
n distinction, but difference. IN the
Cincinnati instance there was popular up
rising against unpublished crime and corrupt
local administration. 1t had no external or
general significance. At Danville the riot was
caused by the determination of the white
Democrats to secure majority at the polls by
frightening the colored voters away This do
termination they VIGOROUSLY held in common
with white Democrats throughout the State and
throughout the South and it was well under
stood and intended that the proceedings at
Danvile would and should react upon the sur
rounding country and 50 cut down the c0lored
vote.
This Is what actually resulted, and 1T was
known that it would result, and therefore the
application to the outrage OF the term con-
spiracy " is entirely justified There Is really no
parallel between Danvlle and Cincinnati. The
latter was an outbreak at bottom in the interest
of law and Justice The former was deliberate
plan to prevent the operation Of law and the
administration Of justice. 1t is not true either
that the Danvillo riot was purely local affair,
and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of Con-
gress 1t was part and parcel OF great and
widespread Democratic conspiracy, the end
of which was the practical extinction OF
the colored vote, and the involved de-
privation of political rights to the whole col
ored voting population of the region. In lnves-
tgating such an outrage Congress was engaged
in a work of self-prcservatiOn only, for it Is
very certain that il the Southern Democrats
were allowed to treat such riots as mere local
disturbances they would soon have the nlie
clubs riding again, and they would be in condl-
ton to deliver "Solid South" to the nominee
of the July Chicago Convention. BY the ex-
ploitation of Danvile. COpiah and similar in
Equities, the Republican Senate has made tins
Southern programme more difficult, and so has
served the country faithfully and well.

THE MILLIONS THEIR TRUE LEADERS,

For twenty years, no other nomination for
the Presidency has been received with such en-
thusiasm as that of Mr.. Blaine, either by the
great body of Republican voters, or by their
recognized and trusted leaders. Even the
shortest mention of all the demonstrations re-
ported on the very night of the nomination
would have filled Journal twice as large as
this With surprisingly large proportion OF
these brief reports came such statements as this
