MR. GREELEY AND HIE TRIBUNE
FREE-LOVERS.
From the jr. F. Sun.
Mr. Greeley Is making ft Renorw mistake in
putting himself before the world aH the cham
pion of the gang of free-lovers who have for
the laRt few jeara made tho Tribune ofHoe
their headquarters. We know Oiatpereonallr,
he ih entirely sound on the marriage question;
but his benevolence and kindly sympathy for
plausible rascality, which have so often in
valued him in scrapes before, are now loading
bim into an apparent advocacy of immorality,
which cannot fail to do great damage to his
repntation. Just as he Buffered himself to be
coaxed into lending his sanction to the infa
mous mock-marriage at the Astor House, be
tween Mr. Richardson and the wife of Daniel
McFarlund, he now has undertaken to dofeml
the women who played a prominent part in
bringing about the whole of the awful catas
trophe of which that outrageous ceremony
was the culmination.
We have already published in the Sun the
letters from these womon, Mrs: Samuel Sin
clair and Mrs. Lucia O. Calhoun to Mrs.
McFarland, which have been put in evidence
by the counsel for Mr. McFarland in his trial
for the murder of Mr. Richardson. The pur
pose of laying those letters before the jury
was to show that Mrs. Sinclair and Mrs. Cal
houn were conspirators with Mr. Richardson
in his effort to seduce Mrs. MoFarland. Mr.
McFarland's suspicions as to what was going
on having been aroused, he opened his wife's
travelling trunk in search of evidence, and
there found the letters. This act Mr. Oreeley
ttigmatizes as "burglary and larceny," and
the letters themselves he excuses as follows:
"Judge them simply by what they contain, and
not by i alee glottsea and perversions, and there Is
not a Una in them that the writer should wish to
blot. A woman Just shove want, straggling bravely
and working arduously for her bread, reaches out a
hand to help a friend whose needs' are more urgent
and who Is more heavily overweighted for the race
of life than herself. That is the whole truth. What
ever evil may be made out of those letters will have
I (a origin in the heart of the commentator, not In
the letter nor the spirit of the text."
Does Mr. Greeley seriously mean to con
tend that a husband, who has good reason to
believe his wife unfaithful to him, commits
a crime in opening a receptacle in which she
keeps her letters ? Such may be the code in
those corrupt circles where adultery is sanc
tioned by fashion, and faithfulness to the
marriage covenant is exceptional; but it has
never yet been established in this country.
Ordinarily, a polite husband will treat his
wife's . correspondence, like her dressing
room, as sacred; but t9 insist that he may
not inspect either the one or the other when
his honor demands it, is carrying the im
munities of libertinism to a limit which has
heretofore been unknown in American so
ciety. Then, as to the letters themselves, is it
true that "whatever evil is in them will be
made out of the heart of the commentator ?"
Is it no evil for one woman to urge another
woman to leave her husband and, take her
children with her, or to commend to her
esteem a man whom she must know to be a
lover with criminal intentions ? Hear Mrs
Samuel Sinclair:
"Do not for one moment longer entertain that
morbid idea that you are responsible for the life of
one who is sure to break you down completely, and
ruin perhaps your children, If you continue to live
with htm. It will kill you to live this way, and you
must not do It.
"I must suggest one thing, and that Is to get
Percy away from his father as soon as possible. You
know Percy now believes in him, and the longer he
remains wicn mm me more laieasiuea win tms reel
ing become, and of course the longer It will take to
erase it."
Mrs. Ln G. Calhoun, a more fertile letter
writer than Mrs. Sinclair, also says:
- "It Is profanation for you to stay with that man;
yon shsll not."
"I think you could live, yourself and Percy, for
what you earn now; and If you can only be free, so
that you can improve, your salary will be Increased."
"I am so glad that you have left M. Do not, I
oeieecn you, return,
"My darling, for whom I would die, do not so
wrong your womanhood as to go back. You must
Mist, nan ui'k
"Let Mr. It help you ; he is good and strong."
"Do yen know wnat is tne panacea ror all my
woesT Mr. Richardson. Nobody is halt so kind
and unaelUsh as he, and when I am 'stuck,' as the
newsboys say, I just tell him, and his clear com
mon sense and kind heart always fiud a way into
inootn paius again. '
And much more of the same sort. The
whole burden of the letters is abuse of the
husband, praise of the adulterous lover, soli
citations to break the marriage tie, and en
couragement to get the children away from
their father, with rosy pictures of wealth,
fame, and happiness as the result. Yet Mr,
Greeley sees nothing in these letters which
the writers should wish to blot! Verily, if
such be their effect on such a mind as his,
there must be a corrupting influenoe in the
atmosphere of the Tribune offloe which less
intellectual people will do well to shun.
RADICAL AND ULTRA.
From the Mmxphit A valanche.
There are individuals who look only through
partisan spectacles. Their vision is restricted
and their belief dwarfed to a recognition of
nothing beyond the range of their own literal
observation. It is impossible for men of a
certain mould of thought if, indeed, that
can be dignified as thought which is purely
the offspring of prejudice to perceive good
in any one who differs from them. We have
known men of respectability and an average
intelligence, conscientious in the belief that
others, belonging to an opposite political or
religious faith, could not be worthy socially,
or honest in business transactions. These
same purblind men, while impelled strictly
by the old Puritan theory that they
alone are the salt of the earth, vehemently
denounce those on the opposite side who are
as blind and prejudiced as crazed as them
selves. These classes, representing the two
political and social antipodes, are dangerous
I- rri. i i i . e ;
o society. o.ucjr uro luuupauie ui rensumug,
and consequently incapable of generosity.
They recognize no virtue in others whose
minds do not run in their own narrow
grooves. They live on and breathe preia
dices, and repel au omer iooa. we nad a
practical exemplification of this in Tennessee
recently, it was in tne vote on tne new
Constitution. Two classes showed opposi
tion to the measure. They were the Northern
Radical and the Southern Radical ultras.
Each class bitterly opposed the Constitution,
and each from a different standpoint. The
Northern ultras opposed it because it did not
disfranchise white men. The Southern
ultras opposed it because it did not dis
franchise black men. Passion and pre
judice ruled, though there was something of
method in the madness of the Northern
ultras. They had something, though little,
as partisans to gain, and nothing to lose by
keeping the whites disfranchised. The South
ern ultras had everything to lose and nothing
to gain by their course. The blacks would
vote, no matter what the fate of the Consti
tution, llut the hatred of each of these
classes for the other blinded both to every
consideration not the ou spring or Hatred.
Each class was unwilling to breathe the air if
the other was also permitted its enjoyment.
In every community representatives of these
classes exist. Every one who reads this will
instinctively point his finger at one or more
. T l - r . ri i
in ms own oircie oi acquaintances, ineir
chief characteristic is denunciation of
all who do not accept their dictum as final on
all subjects. Independence of thought is to
them a orime to be punished if possible by
ostracism. In politics the Northern ultras
would denounce this independence as "dis
loyal," and the Southern nltras would de
nounce it as "radical." In the days of old Salem
both classes would have made common oause
in hanging old women as witches. They are
the John Browns of our poiit-beUum society
crazed fanatics, with the outline of a theory
born of fanaticism and rushing on, regard
less of results, they see only some
body or something before them that they
bate; and in the hope of giving the feelings
which burn and seethe in their hearts vent,
are willing to dostroy every interest essential
to the well-being of society. One of the most
hopeful signs of the times is tho decroaso, in
numbers and influenoe, of these dangerous
classes. They still fill the air with the sound
of their voices, but tnoir power, once great,
is nearly gone. Few communities, either
North or South, now heed the ravings of these
madmen. In a year or two their portion will
be only derision and contempt.
DULL TIMES.
From the N. F. Tribune.
There is a general complaint of dullness in
trade, which official returns would seem to
contradict. Our weekly imports as, indicated
by the returns of revenue collected, show no
material reduction when compared with those
of former and of preoeding years; nor do we
hear of many furnaces blown out or factories
stopping work. Un the other band, new
staoks, new mills, are almost daily set to
work; our farmers are all busy, and are em
ploying more labor at the South, and not less
in ouier quarters, tmui iu iormer years; so
that, if there be no change for the worse
hereafter, the aggregate product of our na
tional industry in 1870 will exceed that of
any former year.
And yet, the complaint of dull times has a
foundation. Our currency has signally ap
preciated within the past year; consequently,
as measured by legal money, almost every
thing 1b low-priced. The manufacturer who
bought his stock six to eight months ago,
cannot sell his product for bo many dollars as
it has cost him; hence he reports that he is
losing money. The farmor, who hired labor
wherewith to prod ace his last crop when gold
was 140 and sold that crop when gold was
but 110, has lost money on his wheat, his
corn, his pork; and so with many others.
The speculator, who bought lots at prices
governed by an inflated currency, cannot
now sell them for so many dollars as he paid
(or agreed to pay) for them each dollar being
worth twenty to thirty per cent, more than it
was a year ago; so he swells the chorus of
dull times. And we see no prospect of flush
times until the process of currency assimila
tion to specie values shall have been per
fected. Had that been done (as we think it
might and should have been) in 18G5, we
should have gone down to the bed-rook at
once, and been the better for it ever since.
One of the worst effects of our present
anomalous position is an almost inevitable
conflict between labor and capital inacou
rately so designated. Those who bought
labor last year on the basis of gold at 140
and sold its proceeds when gold was 110115,
very naturally insist on a general reduction
of wages; those who have enly labor to sell,
and as naturally want to make the most of it,
do not assent to any such reduotion. The
former urge the great reductions which have
been made in the currency prices of flour, of
coal, and of many other necessaries of life;
the latter reply that beef, rents, and many
other elements of living cost nearly or quite
as much as fhey did one year or two years
ago. In other words, the payers of wages
demand concessions which the receivers will
not make; hence strikes and a paralysis in
certain departments of industry. We con
sider the employers generally moderate and
reasonable in their requirements, and advise
the workmen to assent to them; we regird
most of their Btrikes as likely to result in
failure; but they have a perfect right to con
sider us mistaken, or (if tney please) swayed
by class sympathy or personal interest, and
to persist in defying our counsel, on the rea
sonable assumption that tney understand
their own business far better than we do.
Were the Senate's Funding bill this day a
law we believe all would be changed for the
better. We would resume our march to speoie
payments, and therewith the steady apprecia
tion of our paper currency. The authorization
of the secretary of tne Treasury to I una, at
his discretion, the greenbacks in the new four
per cent, bonds is, in our view, one of the
most important and salutary provisions ot tne
bill, rendering future Black Fridays impos
sible. It is high time that the greenbacks
should cease to be a national lie. "The United
States will pay five dollars to bearer" is a
fraudulent promise unless they are to be paid
at some time in something or other. Let us
have an authentic exposition of this promise,
with practice to match, and our currency will
rest on somewhat like, if not exactly on, the
granite rock of speoie redemption. Pass the
Senate bill and the currency premium on
coin can hardly be forced above ten per cent.,
and, if put above that point, cannot be kept
there.
Until we make some effective provision for
funding our national debt ultimately, the
whole of it we shall have ample complaint
of dull times. We live in a state of uncer
tainty, of expectation of course, from hand
to mouth. Few make heavy contracts for
goods, apprehending an appreciation of cur
rency and a consequent reduotion of prices.
Labor refuses to adapt its wages to a speoie
standard, not believing that standard about
to be attained; capital is reluctant to employ
labor at paper prices, believing that paper
may soon be assimilated to gold; hence a
hiatus, a chasm, an interregnum, which it is
the general interest to terminate so soon as
is practicable.
Meantime, we note with satisfaction a
liberal efflux of population from our city.
There are more houses and stores to rent in
this city to-day than there were on any
former 20th of April; and they cannot all be
taken this year at least not before Septem
ber. Many life-long residents weary of un
certainty in business and the multiform
anxieties of city life are finding or making
homes in the broad, free country. Our
suburban villages, especially those looated on
railroads, are rapidly filling up and extend
ing; while many are buying lands in the
interior, the West, or the South, and intend
ing henceforth to be done with pavements
and gas-light, and to be summoned from
sluiuberby.no bell but that which culls to
breakfast. Thousands of families are thus
seeking or making homes in Kansas, in Mis
souri, in Nebraska, or for Colorado; thousands
more in Virginia, in Florida, in Texan; and,
while some will soon become homesick, and
be drifting back to tell doleful stories of the
hardships and barbarism of oonntry life, the
great majority will remain, and hew out for
themselves an independence whioh will impel
their children and grandohildren to honor and
bless their memory .
