THE
TRIBUNE HOLLINtl IN THE
GUTTER.
From the iV. P. Timr.
Tbe course of the Tribune during the last
few days ninut hnve aRtoiiinhol those who have
not recognized in Mr. lloraoe Greeley the
great original of Pecksniff. Ilia life ia au
"organized byporriHy." For years he has
boeu pretending that he iiever sought office,
and never desired it. Yet for years he
schemed and plotted for it, and then poured
forth a bitter lamentation concerning the in
gratitude of the political anHooiates with whom
he had acted. More recently he has been dis
covered engaged in one of the most unscru
pulous and profligate conspiracies of which
political annuls bear reoord, with the object
of winning the Governorship at the next
election. This time he did not associate
himself with such men as Governor Sew
ard, but he went over to the enemies of his
party, and basely offered himself to them
for sale. The Council of Sachems of the
Tammany Society declared, in a formal report
at their recent meeting, that John Morrissey
promised bim the Democratic vote in his con
test for the Governorship if he would lend
his paper to a specific purpose for which they
wanted it. The report of the interview be
tween Morrissey and Greeley was published
in the Hun, and although Mr. Greeley denied
the accuracy of some portions of it, yet the
reporter completely upset his denials, and
after that Mr. Greeley was silent because
he is a "prudent" man, like his dear friend
Major de Boots.
So much for his political honesty. He has
now either by his own aot, or by that of still
baser instruments, dragged journalism
through an abyss of filth never before Been
in this country. On St. Patriok's day he
made a Pecksniffian speech about the use of
personalities in tbe press. lie pretended to
deplore these personalities, and earnestly
begged his hearers not to enoourage them.
The journal at whioh his remarks seemed to
be aimed is at least free from the guilt of the
Tribune. The Tribune lends its columns to
every slanderer, in the hope of concealing
the irreparable mischief whioh it has sus
tained in consequence of recent revelations.
The "warblers have brought it to grief,
and now it hopes to silence the just voice of
criticism by devices which the riff-raff of the
Streets would deem too foul to use.
That the philosopher of the Iribune is in
the habit of cursing like a drab is notorious
but he must be taught not to curse in
print. On Tuesday he allowed some miserable
devotee of the Frothingham sect to put for
ward a scurrilons statement to the effect that
we had misrepresented their high priest, and
then refused to do him justice. The follow
ing correspondence will be a Boffloient reply
to this falsehood:
"To the Editor of the New York: Timet '
"Dear Sir: Will you do me Jimice by furnishing
the name of tbe correspondent who ascribed to me
the atrocious sentiments on which you commented
this morning 7 Yours, very truly,
"o. B. FnonrrNOHAM.
'No. 60 West Thirty-sixth street, April 19, 1810."
"Thb 'Timbs' Offich, April 20.
"The Editor of the Time begs to lnrorm Mr.
Frothingham, In reply to his note of the 19th. that
the passage referred to formed part of the outline of
his Sunday's discourse, as furnished by one of the
regular reporters of the Timet, and published in lea
columns on Monday morning."
Our reporter vouched for the aoouracy of
his account, and after that we heard nothing
more from Mr. Frothingham. But a meddle
some busybody, named Oliver Johnson, who
is always fuming round newspaper offices,
brought ns a long and impudent letter on the
subject, which we declined to publish. We
would have published any statement from
Mr. Frothingham, but we were not bound to
publish Mr. Oliver Johnson's outburst of vul
garity and insolence. He carried it to the
great dirt heap of whioh the Tribune is the
proprietor, and shot his rubbish there and a
good riddance of it. ...
But the Tribune adds to this person's
tirade a statement which deserves some notice
from ns. little as we are disposed to follow it
into the mire where it has been groveling for
days past, it reiers to uovernor Itaymond,
whom it abused persistently, wantonly and
malignantly for upward of five and twenty
years. It poured out every variety of its vile
slanders upon him, and now raises its Peck-
Bniflian wail over his name only in the spirit
of a cowardly defamer. It then adds that
"our circulation has steadily declined." Oar
reply to this is short and simple the Tribune
'lies deliberately, willfully, wickedly, with
naked intent to defame and malign. It knows
that its lie is utterly without excuse or plausi
bility. Now, tnis is not the sort of lan
guage for which we have any partiality, but
we copy it irom uie irwune, wnere it ap
pears witn otner "impotent buQoonery and
ruffianism peculiar to venal journalists and
moral Pecksniffs. As for the Iribune itself.
the description of it given by its own friends
is its most fatal aoouser. It is a mean, slan
derous, and dishonest sheet, and it has
probably done more to degrade morals and
journalism than any paper whioh was not
liable to be instantly suppressed by the
police.
THE PLEBISCITE.
Prom the N. Y. World.
The sense of the Emperor's plebiscite to the
French is: Are you willing my son should
reign after me? The text puts "liberal re
forms in the place of "son, and thus,
though everybody knows the terms are not
synonymous, the peculiar wording of the
lormuia rnaKes a nostue vote upon it very
aimcuu. lo vote lor liberal reforms is to
vote in favor of the Prinoe Imperial becoming
jLuiperor on tne demise of nis respected sire:
to vote against such succession is, in so many
words, to vote against liberal reform, and
few Frenchmen will care to write themselves
down lovers of Bourbonism by such a ballot
as that. Accordingly, by a olever petitio prin
cipii, the Emperor puts himself in a position
to almost certainly receive nineteen out of
every twenty votes cast; while nothing is'
left the irreooncilables, legitimists,, and
other anti-Bonapartists but to persuade
people not to vote at au. In this it is not
likely that their efforts will meet any great
success. There is a certain fascination about
putting "the thing in the box" which few are
able to resist. At the moment of standing
at tne pons wun ms ucKei in nis grasp, a
man is, or thinks he is which is pretty much
the Rame thing, so far as he is concerned a
king, a sovereign tbe one human being
upon the expression of whose will all other
human beings must wait. To ask him, then,
to forego this all-glorious moment is a thing
abominable so abominable that the chances
are an hundred to one he will immediately
resent the same by tearing off forthwith to
the polta, and there depositing his ballot with
even a more biuiuuiuoun ieeimg m aove
reicntv than usual, the effort to induce him
to forego bin rights heightening, by the very
eense of oootiwjt, me joy-Hjupwi. graiw,
irwffHble that the exercise of the right ordl
nniily confers. Shrewdly banking on this
tmall frtiilty, the Emperor so frames his
j-.Ubiscitvm that, that to vote at all, you must
alruoht necr ssarily vote in its favor, ibose
who oppose can scarcely vote against it other
than by not voting at all; and, however easy
this may be for your patriot of the Rochefort
school, it does not suit the great mass. Ac
cordingly, when the patriot from Taris pro
ceeds to address Jacques uonnomme in tne
provinces on tne propriety or not voting,
Jerques is quite apt to say: "Whereto serve
bnllots but to oouf ront the visnge of the box?
Am not I, Jacques Bonhomine, for one
second in my life to be greater than even the
Emperor by reason of the ballot which I hold
in my hand, wnue his Majesty mmsolf
stands, hat in hand, a candidate at the polls,
soliciting the honor of my electoral acquaint
ance ?" The patriot will be hard pushed to
answer (his kind of thing; and accordingly
tbe Emperor wins the first trick by getting
Jacques and Victor, and Francois and Jean
to the polls. Being there, with no very well
defined idea, one may swear, except to vote
somehow, the question arises, How will you
vote ? Will you vote for liberal reforms for
your right to vote, for the progressive glory
of la Oelle France, for tnis ana otner plebis
cites? Or will yon vote against liberal re
form, to have an iron collar round your neck
like your great grandfather, and be ruled by
aristocrats ? Jacques, Francois, Victor, and
Jean, of course, shout "Down with aristo
crats! and vote, every man of them, for
liberal reforms, the succession of the Prinoe
Imperial inclusive. And thus tbe Emperor
wins the second trick, and with that trick the
game.
it has been tne strengtn of Napoleon ill
that he has been enabled at any time these
eighteen years to refer to that vote in 1852
when eight millions of Frenchmen indorsed
his course; and a like strength, now that tne
lion is old, he desires for his whelp. The
overwhelming probabilities are that he will
get it; that some nine millions of voters, a
full half over all in these United States, the
man and brother included, will authorize
the succession of the Prinoe Imperial; and
that in due time Napoleon IV will issue
his deorees "by the grace of God and
the will of the French people." Perhaps,
were the issue plain and simple, for or
against the Bonaparte dynasty, the result
might be different, especially as in the year
18GD the votes stood 4,000,000 Imperialist to
3,000,000 Opposition; but, as it is, the dex
trous wording of the plebiscite will, almost
beyond doubt, overwhelmingly carry the day.
i rom ivjii to lo2 no vote in .trance against
a plebiscite has exceeded five per cent, of the
vote for the plcbixcite, and upon the average
it has not been over half of one per cent.; in
1852, ont of every one Hundred votes tbe Em
peror received ninety-seven votes, and three
were cast against him. with this showing
for seventy years of popular voting in Franoe,
it is hardly to be supposed but that this ple
biscite, like others, will sweep everything be
fore it. Such, at least, is the presumption
from the figures; and a very different presump
tion it is that our electoral figures present.
We may do this thing better than in France.
but our returns show that, save in the great
plebiscites in the time of Washington, our
popular votes on the Presidential issue have
been close sometimes so close that Lincoln,
for instance, got in, in lttliO, by but some
1,900,000 votes out of a total of 4,700,000,
our peculiar institntions permitting this kind
of thing.
HOW THEY ARE GETTING ALONG.
From the H. Y. Tribune.
We forget into how many hostile factions
the Woman's Suffrage Association is just
now divided, but we believe three or four.
At any rate the sisterhood have split into so
many parties and developed such a talent for
failing out, that any doubt the public may
have felt about their pre-eminent fitness for
business must now be dispelled. Let ns see
then how they are getting along. 1 In Massa
chusetts, where their prospects of success
were supposed by themselves to be bright
est, a resolution for an ' amendment to the
Constitution, allowing women to vote, has
been rejected in the Legislature by a large
majority, and the people seem to be glad of
it. In Utah, where suffrage has already been
given to the sex, the sex despise it. In Min
nesota a Woman's Suffrage bill, which had
passed the Legislature, has been killed by the
Governor s veto, in Illinois, where the ques
tion was before the Constitutional Conven
tion, 1400 women of Peoria petitioned not to
be allowed to vote; so the sixteenth amend
ment is dead in Illinois also. Bat these faots
would have little significance were it not evi
dent that governors, legislatures, and con
ventions have only reflected the sentiments
of the women of the country, and that the
ladies, who indirectly exert a powerful influ
ence in politics, are passing from indiffer
ence towards the suffrage to positive opposi
tion. Really, Miss Anthony is getting along
very well indeed.
This, however, is not all. Mrs. Henry B.
Stanton has been travelling in the West, and
has lost $200 by the failure of certain railway
connections, whereupon she cries: "Women
have not one word to say about railroads.
stages, and bridges. When we have, oh!
what order and harmony will reign! With
sober women for engineers and conductors.
there will be no smash ups, nor running off
before they are sent." Now this is a com
forting promise; and we might reasonably
hope that the dear creatures who have suc
ceeded so perfectly in governing the nursery,
and teaching "order and harmony" to reign
among the scullions and chambermaids, who
have set up three or four suffrage associations.
and managed the complicated business of a
newspaper, win direct railways much bettor
than Vanderbilt and Prescott Smith, if they
ever get a chance. A woman who can rule an
Irish cook and bring up a baby can of course
do anything, and a mind capable of taokling
the problems of the kitchen and the publica
tion offioe will have no difficulty with the
mysteries of freight-tariffs, time-tables, and
tne right ot way. asm just nere comes an
appalling revelation. Before the wail of Mrs.
Ilenry B. Stanton has died away, a plaint of
fearful import issues from the lips ot Miss
Virginia Penny. Miss Penny has boen a
zealous and practical advocate of the woman
cause, her efforts being directed to getting
her suffering sisters not political frau
chines but profitable work. Thus she
has been much in contact with the
Stanton-Anthony ooterie, and has seen some
thing of the "order and harmony" whioh
reign in the management of their affairs. She
assures us that the ladies of the Revolution
have no heads. They advertise books for sale
when they have not the books and can't get
them. They forget to make change. They
put people's names on their reports without
permission. They are generally mixed in
their ideas of business, and loose in their
notions of commercial ethics. They printed
Miss Penny's name as Vice-President of the
Equal Rights Association, though Miss Penny
knew nothing about it and do uot bvt
lieve in the Lqual ItighU Association. They
would not msvrw her queaUoafl. They woM
rot pay for her articles, but proposed to ap
propriate them after they had been turned
into a book. Miss Anthony was President of
a woman's typesetters' association, but when
Miss Penny wanted some women to sot type
Miss Anthony could not tell her where to find
them. The only practioal thing the Revolu
tion ladies could do was to borrow Miss
Penny's parlor to hold meetings in. Mrs.
Iiivermore, Mrs. Myra Bradwell, Parker
Pillsbury, tbe whole tribe of agitators, were
equally bad. They were indefatigable talkers,
but had no more idea of business than Dora
Copperfield. In point of fact, thoy were
shit I less.
This is bad. Mis3 Virginia Penny is a lady
of reputation, and knows what she is talking
about. If Miss Anthony cannot manage a
little affair like the Equal Uights Association,
how would she ever get along with the Erie
Railway? If they don t know now to change
half a dollar at the Revolution offioe, how
could they ever take up fares on an accom
modation train, or pay off a force of two or
three hundred laborers every Saturday night?
It really seems as if the faculties of organi
zation, promptness, attention to business, and
a head for system, all the facultios indeed
which women particularly need if they are
to fall the new places to which they aspire.
are the very ones in which Mrs. Stanton and
her followers are especially deficient. At
present we must say that Mrs. Henry B.
Stanton's prospects of running a railroad and
getting a vote seem equally vague and dis
tant, THE DANGER OF SAN DOMINGO.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Given, on the one hand, a President, the
dispenser of the enormous patronage of this
republio, who has Bet nis heart on the acquisi
tion of San Domingo earnestly, sincerely,
and Honestly, without doubt, but with an
obstinacy that answers all reason by persist
ence: who has already involved his credit in
the project by the payment of $175,000 on a
lease of the Bay of Samana, whose usefulness
stands or falls by the same tost, and by naval
interference to protect the precarious San
Domingo Government he is negotiating with
from a party that is waging war against it in
behalf of the Constitution which forbids the
alienation of the territory, and to prevent the
Haytiens from aiding the other party in this
struggle for maintaining the independence
of the island.
Given, on the other hand, the United States
Senate, whose members all desire their share
in the dispensation of this official patronage
of the President; the greater number of whom
regard its control as vital to their political
existence; a considerable number of whom
represent small constituencies and large
schemes of private benefit; another considera
ble number of whom have no hold upon the
States they represent beyond their present
tenure, and are driven to tne necessity of im
proving their brief opportunity; and all of
whom recognize that to oppose the President
in this project, which he has made almost a
personal matter, is to abandon their share in
this dispensation of official patronage. Add
to this the situation of an administration
majority so large that the opposition in the
Senate is hardly an appreciable quantity.
From this situation it is to be expected
that this so-called treaty of annexation will
succeed in carrying the required two-thirds
of the Senate, against their own oonviotions,
and against etuigntenea pnmio opinion. let
it is a scheme which has already drawn ns
into unwarrantable interference with the in
habitants of that island; whioh is tainted
with the fraud of Baez upon his countrymen.
and with swindling loans which have mort
gaged all the publio lands and sold
every privilege that was salable, and
with an election imposture; whioh has
easy possibilities of involving ns in such a
war for the occupation of the island as
France and Spain tried in vain; which will
give ns a weak spot in war, and will involve
us in great military and naval expenses to
make it secure; which promises ns only a
disturbing element in the Government; whioh
can be of no possible benent to ns, while it
has possibilities of great evil; and whioh, if
it be a beginning of a splendid scheme of
annexation of tropical countries, has in it a
future which will change the character of our
Government, and will hasten on that change
to a military autocracy whioh the disloyal
predicted as the consequence of invoking the
military power to prevent the secession of
the Southern folates.
PROFANE FEMALES.
From the Louimil $ Courier-JottrnaU
We have never for a moment doubted that
every one of the shrieking sisterhood would
ultimately learn to swear. Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, one of the oldest and toughest
of them, has got bo far along that she begins
to look upon profanity as almost pious. Iu
one of her recent letters from the Northwest
to the Revolution she says:
"Uelng Informed the special train would leave at
6, 1 was ready at that hour, but the conductor being
drunk, had Kone oil' an hour before, and was anx
iously inquiring for me at every stopping place along
the Una At the end of the route a large audience
waited my coming, wy son ana lyceuni managers
telegraphing, "Where la the train?'' "Where la Mrs.
Stanton?" At the other end, I stood tired, disgusted.
indignant, replying, "Here I am, but where in the
train?" At 8 o'clock, as no train returned, I went
back to the hotel, bag and baggage in a good state
of mind to say it) while the audience at Moatl-
cello dispersed at 9 o'clock, curalug ad womonkiad."
' When Mr. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, quietly
nursing his sickly infant in - his widowed
home, read that letter, what must he have
been "in a good state of mind to say ? He
must be a very strange epeoimen of hen
pecked pusillanimity if he doesn't think that
it is bad enough for women to go straggling
about the country alone, haranguing a mob at
every town, but that it is a great deal worse
for them to hang around railroad depots at
night and swear like a trooper when the trains
fail to arrive on time. If we must nave the
ballot for women let ns postpone it until we
shall have read the obituary of the last of the
women, male and female, who are now
clamoring for it, so greatly to the disgust of
all sensible people.
