The New- York Times, in its wholesale VIM
cation of everybody who differs from 1t In
politics, has seen fit to publish an infamous anu
cowardly attack upon the personal chafac'ei
of Gov. Randolph of New-Jersey, charging In
effect that that upright and universally respect
ed magistrate accepted a bribe of $4,000 from
the Erie Ring, and that the Attorney General
of New Jersey is about to give the proofs OF
the transaction to the public. We call the
charge infamous, because everybody who knows
Gov. Randolph must be satisfied that it is not
only untrue but absolutely without shadow
of excuse in fact; and cOwardly because it is
qualified by such expressions as "it is said,'
and "a curious story is current" which are
the familiar safeguards of the baser sort OF
maligners. We need waste no words OF indig-
nation upon libeler who is insensible of the
restraints of common decency, for Gov. Ran

When we mentioned the Political Pig-Lron Clrcu-

There has been great deal OF apathy IN
the political circles of North Carolina, the
causes of which are fully explained IN let-
ter which we print to-day from correspond
ent of THE TRIBUNE. But this indifference
is disappearing, and the old North
State is alive to the issues involved in the
present contest. Whatever may be the result
at the State election, it is evident that the
people and the politicians have been so effect
ualy shaken up that they will be sure TO
evade hereafter the repression and stagnation
under which they have languished. Another
letter gives us some account of the tactics OF
the Administration leaders, who are pouring
money into North Carolina like water. They
expect to carry the election by bribery and
fraud. They have already made known that
they intend to charge the Liberals Qf there
should be a Liberal victory next Thursday

With prompt and graceful and, under the
circumstances. we may say a chivalrOus gen
erosity Of which we can hardly trust ourselves
to speak, it has been proposed by liberal
money subscription 70 show to the daughters
Of Mr. Greeley the public affection and respect
9ccorded to the memory of their lamented father.
This thoughtful proposition has been made
in The Herald newspaper; and the proprietor
of that journal has rendered a sum nominally
large, but understood to be considerably less
than Mr. Bennett really desires to give. We
have also received at this office letters offer
ing assistance, great or comparatively small,
according to the means of the writers. Yes
terday furCher subscriptions were announced; !;
and this fact Obliges us to say that the Misses
Greeley are unwilling, under any circumstances,
that the plan of subscription for their
nersOnal benefit should be adhered to-.
In the great sOrrOw which has fallen
upon them so heavily, they are of course
in no position to investigate their affairs. 1t Will
be q work OF time to determine the condition
of Mr.. Greeley's estate; but however it may
have been impaired by a liberality per-
haps too great, by loan of his own credit
to those who proved unworthy of 1t, or by an





there is, it is probable, enough remaining to
quiet all these generous apprehensiOns of the
community. And even if the provision were
less, we must be allowed to say that the
Misses Greeley are in the hands of immediate
friends who will care for them with as
siduous fidelity and unremitting tender
ness, and who will recognize and repay the
debt of grateful honor due to their father-a
debt which it is strongly felt can never be
adequately discharged. A sympathizing public
may confde in our assurance that the young
ladies are now the wards of those who will be
clad as well as able to care for their every
want and comfort and to see to it that the
death of their father shall make no change in
their methods of life and their resources.


We announce the determination of these
ladies at their own urgent request. While
they are anxious not to be regarded as want
ing in grateful sense of the great kindness
which prompted the subscription, they must
be allowed to take the kindly will for the
kindly deed. With q thousand heartfelt
thanks, the prOffered bounty is declined.
There may be other methods of exhibiting
the public liberality, methods by which
the memory Of Mr.. Greeley may be per-
petuated, and which would be grateful, not
merely to his children, but to the whole broad
circle of his admirers. If these should COM
mend themselves to the public appreciation,
they would certainly be regarded by his
daughters with gratitude equal to that which
so much kindness has already inspired.

we had hoped to chronicle this morning the
serious opening of the case of the people against
William NJ. Tweed; but that announcement Is
for the present deferred Having from the
first been earnest in urging the speedy prose-
cution of this chief Of all the Ring accused,
TIE TRIBUNE can now the better afford to
insist, if the indictments be sustained, that he
shall have full and fair trial. As the prin-
cipal of the gang who were indicted, the fate
of all tho others depends upon that meted out
to Mr. Tweed. In every sense his is test
case, to decide which virtually concludes all
the other cases. Acqut him and the others
accused will laugh at your prosecution; con-
Wet him and they fly to all remOtcst parts or
the globe where cxtradition treaties cannot
reach them. Therefore, it has always seemed to
us of the gravest moment that Mr.. Tweed should
be tried at as early day as possible; there
fore also, as involving and deciding so many
cases, it now appears of equal Importance
aside from the question of justice-that he
should have the fullest and faiTest of trials.


Above all does it now seem important that
the prosecution-if it shall ever force him to
plea-should guard against the blunders
which were fallen into in the earlier stages OF
the case. The little irregularities which the
Attorney-General or his assistants seem to
have been guilty of before the GRIND Jury
threaten to block the prosecution before 1t Is
fairly under way. 1t is idle to say these have
been abs1rdly magnifed by defendants eoun-
sci one proof that they are falsely charged Is
worth a whole volume of ridicule. There IS
no use in shutting our eyes to the fact that
tho difficulties to bo found in initial
proceedings to convict of an uncommon
crime, not specifically defined by the
laws, have been magnifed in this case
by certain well meant but possibly
over-zeaous acts of the prosecuting officers
It is of no consequence to the Judge that the
prosecutor appeared in the Grand Jury room
to advise and instruct 1t; Judge lngraham,
who is asked to quash on this ground, Will OF
course take into consideration no intention,
good or bad. but decide on the fact itself.
The proof of the fact is not very strong, but
even that is not denied; and the arguments In
explanation and defense of the propriety of
the counses acts before the Grand Jury were
not as strong as we had reason to expect from
the reputation of Messrs. Peckham and Ire
main. In fact, Mr.. Peckham's was the only
serious argument of the prosecution; and to
this Mr.. Field is to reply, in conclusion Of the
whole, to-day.


What has gone before in this case admon-
ishes counsel of the need, if the indictments
be sustained, as we hardly venture to hope,
of the utmost precision and caro- in future
proceedings. We may expect the active coun-
sci of Tweed to take advantage of every
blunder. Great interests of the people are in
volved, urging care and it must not be for
gotten that on the other hand are men fight
ing virtually for dear life, and that they will
not hesitate to try any legal loop-hole pre-
sented them. We only trust they have not
already found one large enough to admit of
