(IRF.KLEY'8 "POLITICAL ECONOMY." From the X. Y. World. Mr. Orcclcy will devote the summer to the Trei.arUon of a work on what ho mils "Politi cal Economy," to couxwt of au elaborate defense of protective tariff. When completed, It Is to lie printed nnd put in the market as a book; but ho will publWi the successive chapters, week by week, as Jio writes them, In the Inhnne, lmvlnir Riven the first ou Hi.turduy. Such nn undertaking at this time, is a practical confes sion that his darling hobby of protection is m dunircr; it is a confession tlmt the protectionists wcro doludlnir themselves with vnln hopes when thev fancied that our colossal public debt had decided the tariff question for this generation. Mr. Greeley rushes to the support of a totterim cause. Those who read his chapters will have jin opportunity to see how iiimsy nnd foolish are the best protectionist arguments which can lie mustered by its foremost advocate in this country. Mr. Greeley's first chapter, fillinf' more than three columns of the Tribune, consists of an irrelevant and sprawlltiir, rhapsody on the moral advantages of labor, in the course of which lie introduces two long quotations, one from Car Ivlc, the other from ''our own greatjl'hannln";" 0e Mr. Greeley falls him), setting forth the benefits of labor as a moral discipline. Mr. Greeley is unfortunate in his selection of autho rities; for, so far as those writers have ever expressed themselves on the protectionist con troversy, they have evinced a strong leaning to the frec-trado side. "Our own great Channiiiyf' repudiated with scorn the idea that trade and industry require the nursing interference of ifovcrnmcnts, as may be Been lu the following quotation: "All our (treat Interests are left to ourselves; and government, when they have Interfered with them, have olwtriluted much more than they have ad vanced them. For example, they have taken religion Into their care only to di.siigure It. 80 education, in their hands, lias generally become a propagator of m-rvlle maxims, and an upholder of antiquated errors. In like manner, they have paralyzed trade by their nursing core, and multiplied poverty by ex pedients for Its relief. Government has almost always been a barrier against which Intellect has had to Struggle; and society lias made Its chief progress by I he minds of private individuals, who have out stripped their rulers, ami gradually shamed them into truth aud wisdom." This is good anti-protectionist doctrine vigo rously expressed. We commend the whole pas sage from which this brief extract is taken to the attention of Mr. Greeley, and hope it will not abate his admiration for "our own great Chan iiing." He will find it in the second part of that writer's famous dissertation on Napoleon Bona parte. Carlylc, too, in his quaint way, has aided the free trade cause. His article on "Corn Law Khymes" was written iu the incipient stages of the great movement by which protection was overthrown in England. It contributed to call attention to the subject and conciliate favor for the arguments of the obscure rhymester who pleaded for cheap bread. Mr. Greeluy's chosen authorities are against him; so diliicult is it to find recent writers of mark iu any department who do not discard the obsolete theory which he advocates. t Mr. Greeley, with intrepid defiance of facts, attempts to convey the impression that the sup porters of free trade are mere "college pedants'' and "blear-eyed book-worms." We insert the following extract from his rambling first chap ter: "Let ns suppose that the new kingdom of Italy was ruled by some great genius like Czar Peter or Napo leon I; can you believe that he would not llnd or make some way of setting these Idle hundreds of thousands at work 1 that he would be withheld from attempting it by some college pedant or blear-eyed book-worm, who should magisterially admonish him that governments have properly nothing to do with industry or commerce; that the extent of their legi timate function is to keep you from breaking each other's heads, or picking each other's pockets ; that they transcend their sphere whenever they meddle with production, and seek to make two blades of grass flourish where but one hag hitherto been grown ?" We ask Mr. Greeley to note that the principle which he thinks that none but a college pedant or blear-eyed book-worm would be likely to ad vocate is the very principle we have quoted from 'our own great Chanuing." The fact is, that studious men and practical men alike, if they arc intelligent and keep abreast of the spirit of the age, are either already on the side of com mercial freedom or are verging rapidly towards it. It is true that sagacious theorists, like Adam Smith and his disciples, gave the first impulse to sound public thought on this subject in England; but the actual free-trade battle, when it became strenuous, was fought by men of as practical a turn as any that ever lived. The life, the soul, the organizing spirit of the anti-corn law league was Richard Cobden, a calico printer, the son of a Sussex farmer, who had never seen the iu-j side of a college, and was as little of a pedant as any man of his time. His chief lieutenant aud co-worker was John Bright, a man of the same stamp as himself, and of a similar training. The hosts of their abettors consisted of hunger bitten men whoso outcry against the tariff was extorted by the pale, gaunt faces of their famish ing wives aud children. The first bold free trade speech ever made in Parliament (three months before Cobden's first) was by Lord Pal rneretou, whom nobody ever thought of calling a pedaut. The repeal of the corn laws was finally carried through Parliament by Sir Robert Peel, as practical a statesman ns ever lived, then a recent convert whose protectionist prejudices puccumbed to the irresistible force of evidence. Brougham, who. though a good deal of a pedant, did not lack practical ability, was its first ener getic advocate in the House of Lords. Franca is advancing towards free trade under the direc tion of the Emperor, one of the shrewdest and most practical minds in Europe. Mr. Greeley, with an equally brazen, defiance of notorious faets, pretends that there is a na tural alliance between free trade and slave bolding, as if he did not know that England was a protectionist country until after the emanci pation of her West India slaves, and then within a dozen years became a nation of free-traders; nnd as if ho did not know that the foremost Bri tish abolitiouists were also leaders in the free trade movement; nnd as if he did not know that the most strenuous opposition to our earliest protective tariffs came not from the slave-holding South, but from free New England. How consciously weak must bo the side that needs to be propped up by sueh false pretenses as are put forth by Mr. Greeley to create preju dice ugaiust a cause which lie cannot success fully assail by arsrument! Why will ho insult the intelligence of readers by trying to make them believe that Cobden, and Bright, and Mill, nnd Brouirham are to be ranked anion ir the iud- porters of slavery? Does ho not know that Cieorge Thompson, who made himself so noto rious by his anti-slavery speeches in this coun try, was one of the leading orators of the anti-corn-law league? Has he forgotten faets so recent as the free-trade spcoehos of William Llovd Garrison and Henry V ard needier t -Mr, Uroelcv Is driven to such pitiful, such dishonest letches aud subterfuges by his consciousness that the protectionist cause cannot be main tained upon any solid ground of argument. For if he does not need the aid ef such appeals to prejudice and ignorance, why does he put his reputation at nazard by making them t SHALL THE HATCHET EVER BE BURIED fnmi Iht X. Y. Time. Tin.

A ,U0 particular notice. As an attempt to organize nul consecrate a new national ceremony to de dicate a day to the memory of the dead, lu the paine of the cause for which they died It com manded little support.

Tho friends of tho Union are not dlsposod to forget tho brave men whoso blood ha at once cemented and siuictillid the Union. How this reinin bnincc may bo best manifested, is a question which the leaders of the Grand Ann v of tho Republic have evidently failed to answer satis factorily. In a materlil ngo, it is not sur prising that, a proposal to build up a solemn lestlval on tho Meeting found ition of senti ment lias not elicited more than a feeble and occasional response. Tho claims of tho wounded and maimed living arc felt to be more urgent, boeause more practical, than those connected with patriot graves. The living iiu inorlals of war are a burden uot to bo borno lightly: they have need of a care constant and mbstuntial, and one worthy of being cherished apart from the temptations nnd vicissitudes of politics. The graves, on tho other hand, exact a less formal attention. Tho adornments most befitting them are those of genulno affection: where that exists tributes will not bo wanting; and in its absence parade and show must neces sarily degenerate into a hollow formality, which no amount of speechinaking will ennoble or per petuate. There is another aspect of the question which has probably not been without effect. Decora tion Day. as it has been inaugurated, Is u day that can never become national. It Is nn nppea' to tho patriotism of one paction at the expense of tho pride aud feeling of tho other section. It is a memorial of the triumph of Northern loyalty over Southern rebellion. It is a method of re minding the North that it is a conqueror, and the South that it Is conquered. It Is an attempt to convert even the graves of tho dead into testi mony affecting the history of millions who are living. As managed by reverend gentlemen here aud at Washington, and elsewhere, it is an occa sion for heaping epithets of infamy upon one set of craves while piling flowers upon another set for reviving the bitter memories of conflict, scattering afresh the Bccds of Into, nnd, under the pretense of glorifying Union heroes, invok ing curses upon the misguided but scarcely less heroic Confederate dead. Such a ceremony might have its uses in the midst of war. But it is incompatible with the restoration of peace utterly incompatible with that renewal of cor dial feelings between the peoples of tho two sec tions which alone can impart lasting vitality and strength to the Union. The common inte rests of the country, the dictates of a magnani mous patriotism, the promptings of a consistent Christianity, all point to a certain forgctfulness as the precursor of au era of good feeling. Both sides must concur in burying the hatchet, or a happy alliance will bo impossible. And Decoration Day, ns we now have it. is an osten tatious display of the trophies of victorious war, which tends to beget a dictatorial and ag gressive spirit on one side, ami feelings of hu miliation and revenge on tho other. To a festi val admitting of this construction, and marred by these tendencies, the generosity and good sense of the country will uot be easily recon ciled. AVc do not forget that the South furnished a bad example. It, too, has its decoration days days for renewing lloral testimony to the virtues of slain Confederates. The practice is not im proved by the precedent. The purity of the affection may bo doubted which out of regard lor the dead insists on tresli indictments ot tho living. On the vulgar ground of expediency it should b3 abandoned. ' For if the South insists on hallowing one day to the Rebellion which was conquered, the Grand Army of the Republic will nave a plausible excuse lor hallowing anotner (lav to tno L 111011, which is the con queror. And while the rivalry lasts we cannot liopc lor more than the semblance of peace. The good feeling and mutual respect which arc essential to the realities of peace will continue wautiug. LAIRDS' LAWT. FYowi the X. Y. Tribune. The fact that the Messrs. Laird have becu driven to the publication of a letter iu defense of their construction of the Alabama, only proves that the currents of public sense and o"f public opinion are setting strongly against them 111 England. Men's minds must be changing there when these arrogant shipwrights, who, for the sake of private gain, have endangered the peace of, nations, find it necessary to justify themselves at the bar of society. It was uot so a few years ago, when the building of the Ala bama was declared by thousands of Englishmen to be a meritorious action aud legitimate enter prise. The letter of the Messrs. Laird is the first rational nnd coherent and intelligible re sponse to the speech of Mr. Sumner. The plea set up by the Lairds Is merely au attorney's quibble, and however much it may help them, it proportionately damages the Gov ernment of l.uglaud. Tho just complaints of this Republic cannot be successfully met by a resort to technicalities. If a ship is built in Eng land, in every respect a man-of-war except that sue lias no armament; 11 mat snip then proceeds to another port for men and arms; if from a port of England men and arms are sent out to her, then we say that in equity all these circum stances must be taken as part and parcel of ono transaction, nnd that (as in the case of the Alabama) the offense which was consummated at the Azores was initiated in England, and that the beginning Is equally tainted with the end. But the quarrel 01 the American Government. it should be understood, is not with the Messrs. Laird. In demanding compensation for injuries we ignore them altogether; and whether they publish live or five hundred letters, our dispute will still be with their betters. They may plead, 11 ttiey please, that .ngianu nati no laws to pre vent them from perpetrating a grievous and contemptible wrong, for tho sake of pecuniary profit a crime against the spirit of the age, against humanity, and against the public peace. v hat have we to Uo witn the detects ot English legislation? How are we to lo held responsible if that legislation has failed to meet the require ments of public law? That law should create the statutes, not the statutes ttiu law. it is not for a nation to plead its own neglect. It Is not for England, in her own defense, to aver that her legislation has been clumsy. Wo kuow noth ing about that. We are not responsible for her failure to provide the machinery through which doctrines admitted by tho whole civilized world could be enforced, just when their en forcement was nucessary. The inadequacy of the law proves only tho incompetency of" the law-makers. When the history of these transactions comes to be considered collectively, the intelligent reader will be surprised to notice how com pletely, from the bcginning,and especially in tho cases of the Alabama and the Rappahannock, England lias relied upon special pleading. Sho has never considered, Bho has never ventured to consider, these questions in the light of tho great, predominating principles of public law. IMPUNITY IN CRIME. Frmn the X. Y. Tribun. A villain recently hired a young girl of rospect nblo family from her homo iu this city bv ardent professions of honorable lovo and solemn pro mises of marriage. Having thus got her com pletely into his clutches, ho seduced and soon deserted her at Chicago, having never intended to make her his wife. Finding herself alone iu a strange city (Chicago-), with uo alternative but a life of shame or a suicide's death, she chose the latter, aud was a corpse scarcely two weeks after she was enticed away from her parental homo, lhls is an old, old storya tragedy which with some variation In the catastropho, probably occurs lu this country many thousand times per annum. What shall be done about it ? Can wo do no better than sit down in stolid apathy, and say "80 it has been, is, and will be, and there Is no help for it ?' As yet, but ono partial mitigation lias esta blished itself that of homicide. It has become a part of tho unwritten, jury-mado law of our country (and we note Its recent extension to the Canadas) that tho woman who has been seduced and betrayed may kill her seducer if sho will und can. Jt is not ye; CHtaoiinUca mat suo can uo this with Impunity, Jf ttho is black, brown, or ellow, while uer seducer is accounted white; ut tUoi'O lu a case pcuding la Washington which will settlc lhis pointv It Is sottlcd, however, that the victim's brother, fathor, or hus'innd my act as hor pioiy, in case she is too tenJor or too timid to do the deed borsntf. The moral of this Justification of homicide Is not that libertinism is forblldeti or condom -ted, but that It Is only allowed within certain limits. If a man will bo lojhorous, and hat any serious objection to serving as a target for loidod ro- voivcrs, no must choo.-o m gamo from tint largo class who aro neither homicidally Incllnod nor hedged. nhnut by sanguinary male relatives. If his. lawless desires lead him into well gtmrded preserves, ho must abide the serious consequences. Is that the last word of Christian civiliza tion on this grave theme? Has the law no ter rors for libertines who make th timid and do fcnseless their only prey? We think it should have, aud that it should inaugurate a reform by proclaiming overy keeper of a house of infamy a f don, and for feit to the Slate all property devoted to the baio uses of prostitution. This would npoedl'.v strip tho horrible trade of tho falso glitter which noiv surrounds its early stages. Tho haunts of In famy are the nurseries of crime, tho aiding places of felons. Forfeit all property devoted to tho uses of harlotry, nnd send tiio bawd-t (male or female) to prison, and lechery would be fatally crippled. The young girl who h is been misled nnd betrayed is gonorally hurried to and hidden in one of the more, sumptuous of these haunts of sin, where evsry art is ex hausted to reconcile her to a life of shamo; and thus- "but onco beguiled, and evermore beguil ing" she, still a victim, victimizes many, and avenges her own fall by transforming more sensualists into defaulters, bankrupts, embez zlers, felons, and suicides. Every brothel is a focus of perpetual con spiracy against the virtue and pcaeo of tho inno cent and pure. Inciting pollution as the receiver of stolen goods incites theft. A truo State would diminish crime by destroying the' facilities that incite to its perpetration. But the rulers of our city depend on tho keepers of every haunt of debauchery to swell their fraudulent "majorities, and thus iniquity, in league with magistrates, laughs at the terrors of law. Shall it never be otherwise ? THE LATE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLIES, from the X. Y. Herald. Tuesday was the eleventh and last dav of the Old School Assembly. Tho New School Assem bly had already adjourned, and its members had departed for their respective homes, well satis fied, on the whole, that union must now bo re garded nsvt fait accompli n fixed fact. But ut tho eleventh hour or day tho Old School Assembly, which had also assented to union with apparently hearty good will, hatches a lot of eggs out of 'which a full brood of future dis cords mny be expected. After an interesting and gratifying report from the "Chairman of the Committee on the Narrative of tho Slate of Religion," the announcement of the estimates (eight hundred and twenty-five thousand doll.rs) of the moneys required bv the several boards to carry on the work of the church during the en suing year, and tho report of the Committee on 1 heoiogicai Seminaries, a minister from Kentucky brought to the notice of the Assembly an important memorial relative to matters of differcnceV between the Old School Presbyterian 'Church in Kentucky and the civil courts of that State, in volving the rights ot property In Kentucky of the Northern Church ns against the claims of the Southern Presbvterlan Church. This is n revival of the question of tho North against the South in a new shape. It is a fresh exemplifica tion of the usually unpere.dved extent to which the question ot liltliv lucre is mixed up with the so-called religious questions of the day. Here is betrayed the cloven hoof ot the devil, who would fain kick vigorously against any such co operation on the part of his Christian foes as might possibly result from carrying out the spirit of union manifested by tho two General Assemblies which have recently met in New York. The action of certain courts in Kentucky was denounced bv one speaker as tho first at tempt to subject religious bodies to tho civil courts on religious matters. The attempt.lic added. should be crushed under foot. Another speaker believed the question 01 civil liberty Involved because, if civil courts can override the decision of ecclesiastical courts In matters purely eccle siastical, religious liberty, he said, is gone. But however this may be, the question ut Issue in volves so vast an amount of property in tho shape of church edifices aud church funds that to outsiders, at least, it 6eems mamly to bo money question rather than a question of reli gious liberty. Provision was made to sustain .he expenses of an appcul to the Supremo Court. If the Presbyterians have to go to law so soon after having solemnly resolved upon union, the prospect for lastiug union is not so encouraging as we had hoped. If, however, all divisions of tho doughtiest disputants and most belligerent sectarians iu the Christian world should harmo niously combine their, forces in a perfect and permanent union, we shall believe that tho ago of miracles is uot past. THE BROKEN IDOLS OF PHILADELPHIA From the X. Y. World. During tho war loyal folks and especially Loyal League folks all over tho country had many droll idols at whoso feet they grovelled. Many of these little oueer cods, like Bel in the Apocrypha, have of lato come to grief. Espe cially has this been the case with tho foreign divinities, English and Continental. Peto came, like Jupiter, in a shower of gold, and was hon ored; nnd Peto is long since bankrupt alike of his dollars and his divinity. Cobden was much worshipped, but luckily died in time to escape iconoclasm. John Bright had all manner of In censc .-flung under his nose; but, now that ho shakes his head about tho Alabama and turns up that much Incensed nose irreverently at Sum ner, ho is served with unsavory odors and esteemed no true deity. Tho radicals fear that England, counting on our past wor ship of him, may send him to negotiate with Secretary Fish, nnd they feel it in their boucs that they will find him as dogged a John Bull as the bluest-blooded peer of tho British realm. The Duke of Argyll himself, on whose drawing-room table, amidst tho tears of titled women, Sumner spread his bloody shirt, is more than half suspected since tho World named hliu as a discreet and safe person to treat with us. Goldwin Smith, at whose restless itinerant feet garlands were so lavishly strewn, has fallen Into absolute dis grace. Has he not snubbed Sumner, and ac tually alarmed tho St. George's societies? Even Philadelphia a community where intellectual mediocrity Is rarely felt to bo offensive; and any form of lntellcctu l,not to sav moral, p jrversity, if loyal. Is easily forgiven let hor Forney loose on Goldwin. aud recognizes in the European Sodom no righteous men left save Newman Hall and Edmond Laboulaye, and a few more sprightly French and English folks of that des cription. But poor Philadelphia is unusually sour, for sho has recently had one wound sharper than all others. Every ono acquainted with that metropolis knows that, if thero bo ono point on which its local sensitiveness amounts to disease, that point is the fair fame of "Tho Founder." When, years ago. Lord Maeaulay (very unfairly, as we tliink) Implicated William Ponn with tho maids of honor, great was tho wrath of Phila delphia. It is said, and Philadelphians believe, that tho statue of Penn at their hospital roused to life, like the lion of Perevon Northumberland House by tho Insolence of George IV shook Itself with un-Quukerly indignation, and stamped its foot. The Historical Society certainly went mad into print. Mr. Carey for a time was thrust aside In the press, and long essays In vindication of the sainted Quaker replaced his dreary diatribes upon British free trade in tho daily journals. Forney hurled his then Democratic thunder at tho slanderous peer. One eminent lawyer, who for years had William Penn under bis especial care, died not long after, overtasked, It was supposed, by intellectual olfort in tho cause, leaving a legacy of pamphlets and uddro-isos, of which Maeaulay probably died, and from which Philadelphia has never yet quite . re covered.! Tho result was that tho historian was discredited, und the purity of William l'oun, as it was thought, made a shining dogma forever. Hut, alas! not bo. Among tho brigUtest aud 1 1 1 dearest Idols of ' loyal Philadelphia during tho war was ono Victor Hugo. Ills bust and that of Gasparln stand nt the Onion League, alon jsido of that of tho great moralist, Thaddous Stevens. Mis antipathy to JNapoleon, mat arcn sympa thizer with the Rebellion, particularly endeared him to thoso loyal clrclos of tho city of brotherly and sisterly love in which his language and Its literature are most Drofouudlv unknown. We nre not sure tho University of Pennsylvania did not make him Lb. !., and tho Historical society nn honorary member. Will it be bellovod that Motor, lu Ills last large novel, caucu ny mo Kings Command, lias veutureu 10 crass inu founder of Philadelphia among tho man-stealors nnd men-sellers of tjie seventeenth and eighteenth centuries ? "In Knolanrt. under .TefTrevs, after the tragical a l- vftuniM hi Mniiii 0.1th. manv b lord and gentleman was d. capitated and qnarti-rcd.

We reject with equal scorn tho high priced young ladies and tho cheap old duchesses. But Victor's ignorance does not excuse his in gratitude. Could ho not have vililled tho caste ridden England of the past without performing this disgraceful historical cancan on tho grave of the groat Quaker to whoso humility modern Philadelphia pays the homage of a boundless pride, and for whose pacific fame sho is ready to fight all comers ?
