Mr. Ilorace Greeley has published a state ment, to which his Rignatnre is attached, for the purpose of explaining the share he has had in the prosecution of MoFarland. It will be remembered that he admitted in his evi denoe that he had been instrumental in en- aging counsel for the proseoution, and that e was prepared to contribute towards the expense if he were asked to do so. Mr. Greeley now states his reasons for this active interference. Briefly stated, they are as fol lows: The late Mr. Richardson was Mr. Greeley's friend. In Mr. Greeley's opinion the deceased has been ''covered with oblo quy." It was necessary to vindicate his memory from unjust aspersion, and therefore Mr. Greeley consulted with the District At torney with regard to the employment of ad ditional counsel. To this statement of reasons Mr. Greeley adds certain reflections or observations which, as it appears to ns, place him in a very para doxical position, lie writes, "Esteeming the hanging of sane men a mistake, I should con template the hanging of one insane with horror. ' This is quite consistent with the opinions generally ascribed to Mr. Greeley on this subject. But it is not consistent with his attempt to bring McFarland to the gallows, for that is the underlying tendency of his in tervention in the prosecution, lie did not employ counsel for the purpose of effecting the release of McFarland. If the prosecution Buoceeds, the prisoner will be found guilty, and the penalty of death would be the ordinary fate of a prisoner placed in that position. It was, therefore, actually to bring about the hanging of a fellow creature that Mr. Greeley worked when be aided the prosecution. A man who was opposed to capital punishment, and wished to act tip to his principles, would have stood aloof from such a proseoution altogether. Mr. Greeley was especially bound to follow this course since, as we all remem ber, he could not bear, to see even Jefferson Davis in prison, and was moved by the ten derness of his heart to set the captive free and yet Jefferson Davis is responsible for more blood which ought to be precious to Mr. Greeley than is Daniel McFarland. The assertion that the counsel was engaged to vindicate the memory of Mr. Richardson will not have much weight with the public "The other story," writes Mr. Greeley, re ferring to . the McFarland side in the affair, "has possession of the public ear." That is not the fact. The Tribune has from the first defended Mr. Richardson with great per sistency, and resented any unfavorable allusion to any of Mr. Richardson's friends with extraordinary . virulence. The Spring field liepublican and several other papers have likewise come forward as the cham pions of Mr. Richardson, and every feature of his conduct has been presented in the most favorable light, from the day of the assassination to the present time. The eulogiums passed upon Mr. Richardson in the Tribune soon after the shooting occurred, were of the most glowing kind. It, more over, attempted to anticipate tho result of the trial in the following announcement: "If this murderer had any provocation for bis deed, we insist that it be known. In this coming trial it is not alone the State of New York against Daniel McFarland. It is civilization against barbarism. It is the civil code against the code of the assassins." This was an appeal to passions and preju dices which no one can pronounce perfectly fair, under all the circumstances, and it is only an example of a great deal more which appeared in the Tribune about the same time. How, then, can Mr. Greeley say that McFarland's version of the story has posses sion of the public ear ? The friends of the Tribune correspond largely with country f tapers, as any one may see who has recently ooked over them. The means of publicity at their disposal have been freely we may fairly say, unscrupulously used, and perhaps there is absolutely nothing to be said in favor of Mr. Richardson which has not been already said hundreds of times. It is absurd to complain, as the Tribune did the other day, that the present trial has "been made the foundation of a systematic, concerted attack" upon it. It has in vited attack by putting itself so prominently in the foreground. It caused the public to understand that it wished tho proseoution to succeed. It called loudly for a "relentless trial," and declared, as the above extract shows, that the very safety of society de pended upon the result. Having done so much to identify itself with the prosecution, how can it now regard it as an injury that the fiublic has accepted the position?' Mr. lorace Greeley himself , 4 admits that he takes tho deepest private interest in tho prosecution. But could he not have done that without openly attempting to bring about the conviction of a prisoner who is liable to be executed if convicted.' THE NEW NEW JERSEY JUDGE. From the If. Y. World. We have every reason to believe that Gene ral Grant s ill luck in appointments, and es pecially judicial ones, is pursuing him, and that he has just made a huge mistake in New Jersey. In these respects he seems to have a "fate." (When he tries which he rarely doos to fly above the "personal" atmosphere which is no congenial, it seems as if there was a string tied to his leg, which is sure, after certain grotesque evolutions in the upper air, to bring him down to earth again, lie has made this experiment in his selection of a sue cessor to Judge Fiold. It was heralded that in selecting a Mr. Nixon, of lower West Jer sey, resident of Bridgeton and editor of a State "Digast," he was carrying out tiie wishes and frustrated intentions of (in the Republi can canon) tne greatest of his predecessors. and is in fact administrator de bonis non of Mr. Lincoln. That Lincoln promised to appoint Nixon, but for good reasons didn't, and therefore Grant must and does. This is the poetical theory, while the fact is that in the choice the President has again, unconsciously perhaps, been a victim to a local manipulation which does him no credit. The bar, especially the Re publican bar, of New Jersey stands amazed, if not aghast, so see such men as Frelinghuy- sen and Zabriskie, and James Wilsou and Teneyck, passed by without a thought, and tne little coiene wiucu, ju umiinry puraw, rests upon the positions or uamaen, Wood. bury, and Bridgeton, with its base in Phila delphia, mifdeading the President into the choice of one, no doubt an estimable gentle man, with no accredited proiessionai stand inc. and whose chief merit is, as we have said, that Mr. Lincoln would not , appoint him. The only part yi New Jersey that Grant knows anything about is within the circle of wUion beo retary Robeson and Senator Cattell hy brids both are the centres. Even when he selects a visitor to West Point he chooses a gallant soldier of ancient and gentle wars, whose chief political merit seems to be that he lives one-third of the year in Trenton and two-thirds in Philadelphia. Soldiers of real war and real Jerseymen were not thought of. The United States Marshal resides, we be lieve, at Salem, and thence has great facili ties to watch the smugglers and whisky dealers of Bergen and Hudson; and so it is throughout. No State has beon worse used than our neighbor across the river. When the law was passed remodelling the Circuit Courts, Pennsylvania had three judges Grier, Cadwalader, and MoCandless; New Jersey one Field. Then it was that Mr. Bradley's name was appropriately brought forward, and to his nomination there oould have been no objection. It would not have been necessary to make exile a condition of confirmation. But the Cattell-Robeson coterie did not care for Newark or East Jersey, or anything outside the huckleberry bushes; and the President, tempore Corbin, took a trip to Southwestern Pennsylvania, and, from among the Bheep of Washington county, persuaded his "personal" friend, Mr. McKennan, to lay aside the crook and be come an admiralty judge on the banks of the Delaware. So Pennsylvania got four out of the five. Mr. Bradley's appointment cannot be credited to New Jersey; for, as we have said, before he could be confirmed he had to abjure his State, and promise hereafter to live out of it. Nor have the means by which the new appointment has been seoured been above suspicion. It is a fortnight sinoe Judge Field's first and, we fear, fatal service. Within the last few days his resignation is announced, the fact being, as we are credibly informed, that the relinquishment of office, if ever consciously made, occurred coinoi dcntly with the attack of disease, and has been kept back till the President could be manipulated and Mr. Lincoln's ghost brought properly into play. The end of it all is that President Grant has made another mistake. We are very sorry for the Republican bar of New Jersey. NEWSPAPERS. From the N. Y. Tribune. The "World, in attempting to draw a news paper moral from the recent stoppage of the morning edition of that able London paper, the VaU Mall Gazette, says: The newspaper Is rapidly developing by differen tiation. The journals of the future will be or two sorts a Journal for the few and a journal ror the many. The former will be decorous and dear; there Is reason to fear that the latter will be cheap and nasty. The one may be a paper 'written by gentle men for gentlemen;' the other by blackguards lor blackguards." We are less interested in deciding what the "journal of the future" will be, than in try ing to make the journal of the present what it ought to be. But we don't believe that the journals of the future will be of the "two sorts" indicated above, any more than the journals of the past, or of to-day, have been or are of these sorts only. We have as yet seen no reason to doubt the possibility of the existence of a journal for the many at once cheap and respectable, possessed of principle, ability, and popularity. If we had not for years felt assured of the praotioability of such a journal which is different from either of the "two Borts" mentioned by the World we should not have remained in the newspaper business. When, after classifying the journals of the future into two sorts, the World says that one kind will be written "by gentlemen for gen tlemen, and the other by blackguards for blackguards," it loses sight of the fact that the great body of people in every city (New York included ), are neither conventional gen tlemen nor blackguards. The majority of newspaper readers in New York are merchants and traders, shopkeepers and their clerks, manufacturers and their employes, profes sional men, artisans, mechanics, and working people generally who cannot very well be said to belong to wnat Wendell I'muips do signatts as the "vulgar class which in this country coll themselves gentlemen." They are "toe many whom the Workl discrimi nates from "the few who are expected to support the dear and gentlemanly journal. But they are not "blackguards, though they are the many. It is to this body of mer chants, workmgmen, and professional people that we constantly look for support, and we assure the Werld that it is better for a news paper to be sustained by such readers than to cater for blackguards and snobs. The World overlooks the real life and func tion of the press, as well as its true basis of power and popularity. The "journal of the future, as well the journal of the present, should be the exponent and upholder of ideas and principles that will elevate man and so ciety that will give honesty to life, integrity to business, honor to legislation, and justice to the administration of affairs. Journalism is only worthy of existence when it seeks to do this: newspapers would be contemptible and infamous if there were only the "two soi tB" described by the World. THE HOWARD INVESTIGATION. From the A'. 1". Journal of Commerce. Some of the ablest radical newspapers in tfie country are making powerful enorw to clear General Howard in advance of the in vesticating committee's report. They heap unmeasured abuse upon Mr. Wood for having moved the inquiry. They refer to the Gene ral s war record and his reputation for Chris tianity and philanthropy, as if these things made it morally impossible tnat lie should have speculated in patent bricks, lumber, and building lots, and in other ways taken advan tage of his official position in the Freedmen's Bureau to fill bis pockets and those of his nearest of kin. This is all irrelevant to the case. General Howard .is distinctly accused by Mr. Wood of making improper use of the Freedmen's Bureau funds, and enriching himself disreputably out of the opportunities of his position. The ques tion to be tried by the committee is one of facts. It matters not what the General's war record may have been. Suppose him to have been a soldier of the highest capacity which is dispr-ted then what ? It does not follow that he is a man of honesty and capa city enough to manage a responsible civio trust, instances are common or generals. even those of undisputed ability, who lacked honor and integrity, we are equally indis posed to have our judgment dazzled by the citation of the General's career as a professor of relicion and a fnend of the oppressed. remembering how often, it happens that the cloak of piety and philanthropy is used to shelter the most seinsn ana soraia oi aims Whatever claims to a spotless charaoter General Howard s friends can set up lor him should have their weight in influencing us not to preiudce him: but we cannot allow them to override facts. But this ia precisely what his partisan and interested admirers in sist that we should do. They would nave ub dismiss that mav be damaging in the evidence, out of consideration for the Chris tian and humanitarian and patriotic reputation that he has achieved and worn. This we cannot do. But we will leave the investigation uncoromented on until it is completed. We will not bring a pressure to bear upon Oene ral Howard as his intemperate radical friends have done upon Mr. Wood, and upon all others who believe with him that the Freed men's Bureau is a rotten affair and its com missioner an incapable and in every way unfit man for the place, li Ueneral Howard shall be acquitted, we shall rejoice in his exoulpa- tion, provided there is no conoealment or distortion of facts, or whitewashing in the committee s report. But the General s repu tation, however high it may be and dear to him and his friends, ia as nothing in com parison to the . supreme importance of in tegrity in. the administration of pnblio duties. And if be should be proved guilty of any ono of the. misdeeds that Mr. Wood confidently accuses him of, out he should go at once, and into disgrace all the more whelming, because of the fictitious (as in that event it would be demonstrated to be) character which he has enjoyed for Christian rectitude and humani- tarianism. The acquittal of General Howard, should the facts really support all or any of Mr. Wood's charges, would be a grave injury to the cause of otnoial fidelity in all depart ments of the Government. REVENUE REFORM. From the X. Y. Evening Post. It is one of the infrequent but pungent de lights of the revenue reformer, to agree heartily with the lrtbune. 1 hat journal has been retained to defend monopoly and prlvi lege under the name of "protection;" but its natural instincts are so strongly for liberty; its long habit of fighting against one form of slavery has given such a prepossession against all other forms or slavery, tnat it doos more hurt than good to the cause of monopoly. and to those who employ it to defend the en slavement of trade. Thus, while in one column it supports the atrocious Bait mono poly and earns the gratitude of the tyrants of byraense who nearly double the price of salt to American larmers by the duty which the ln'jviie Las to support, in another, one of its leading writers, making confession of what he knows of farming, laments tkat "salt is too dear for general use as a fertilizer;" and adds, "where the refuse produce of Bait works can be cheaply bought, good farmers will eagerly compete for it, if their lands are all like mine." So, a few days ago, revenue reformers were favored by the Iribune with a defini tion so accurate, so precise and concise, of their principles, many of us suspected that only a strong desire to help along the great cause or revenue relorm or free trade could have led to the insertion of that definition in a journal which apparently belongs to the monopolists. "lhey are free-traders, said the Inbune, speaking of the opponents of the Schenck tariff; "that is to Bay, their distinguishing tenet is known to the world as free trade. They mean that no duty should be imposed on the importation of foreign products ex cept for revenue, and that the highest rate on any article shall be that which will put most money into tne treasury, mat is a distinct. definite principle, and is everywhere known as free trade. Few free traders or revenue reformers in the whole land could have stated the case better or more accurately. We hold that no duty or tax of any kind ought to be laid by the Government upon the people, except for revenue; we hold runner that all taxes. whether external or internal, ought to be made as simple as possible; that the experi ence of other countries and of our own shows that an abundant revenue can be collected from a few articles, with less trouble to the people than from many articles: and finally. we hold that the less Government interferes with the business of the people the better off the people will be. And we point to facts in our own experi ence to prove the truth of these statements. When the war began, in 18G1, in order to raise a large revenue, it was thought neces- Bary to tax everything, home made or foreign. which the people used. Our tax schedule. internal and external, contained at one time the names of more than twelve thousand articles; and an American citizen was so covered and bounded with taxes that he could scarcely breathe could certainly not exist without paying tribute to the treasury. So imperative was the necessity for a great revenue that Congress, seeing that money came in, and ignorant of the principles of taxation, would not venture on a change, until, with the end of the war, less revenue was needed. Since then, slowly and cau. tioualv. the once insignificant free list has been largely increased; this has been done to decrease the revenue; but so beneficial is freedom that it may be said every addition to the free list has brought an inorease of the revenue; and only by the most sweeping and general reductions has the revenue been kept down. It is the duty of Congress to continue the simplification of the tax system by abolishing 3 1 1 A a 1 ra. . unproaueuve taxes, ana oy cutting on inose which bear most injuriously or oppressively upon the people. We who urge this duty upon Congress are denounced by the monopo lists, and it is attempted to make the name '1? Otronna Vov'nvmA rf-ili -wtio AkU V VUUU AvOiVliUV VUAVUOe Yet Congress is compelled to do what we ask. It has repeatedly revised and reformed the internal tax system; and will, at the pre sent session, still further benefit the people by abolishing the tax on soles and all or most of the special taxes, and reducing the income tax to three per cent. It ought at the same tim ) to revise the external taxes; but this is resisted by the monopolists, who have organ ized a huge lobby to keep their plunder. There is no reason why the people should pay the pig-iron masters twenty millions, for one mimon oi revenue secured to tne gov ernment; but the pig-iron lobby and the Tribune defend this monstrous robbery under the specious name of "protection," and the agents of the pig iron, salt, lumber, coal, and copper monopolists, in Congress, have now wasted two long months in a struggle for the "protection of these robbers. They have been steadily beaten; the House is no longer in the humor to do their bidding; only last week Kelley was laughed down; the Schenck bill has been ho amended that it now pleases the free traders better than it does the monopolists: and bo weak have these last become, that it is doubtful even if they can prevent the passage of the bill, now so hate ful to them. Meantime, the Republican party in the West. Northwest, and East is rallying for revenue reform; and there is little doubt that in the next fall elections the monopolists will be overthrown and the Re publican party will elect revenue reform men to Congress from almost every district which It can carry.
