XIT. Tho favorable, attention of
Congress U asked for certain minor ro
forms recommended by tho Secretary of
war. They rclato chiefly to mattora of
military detail.
XIII. General Grantvlrtuallyendors
as tho old Whig doctrine of gigantic In
ternal Improvements by tho General
G ivernment, and paints a seducing
picture of several new artificial water
routes between tho Mississippi Valley

plemented by the proposal of a land

thoGulf of Mexico.

XV. Ditto for tho vogrics of tho

XVI. Favoring tho purchase of the
telegraph lines by the Government.
XVII. Favoring liberal contracts

out tho least hint as to how it is to be

lands to education.
XX t. Revision of .the Territorial
.laws, and appropriation for local im
provements in tho District of Colum
bia. XXII To promote tho planting of
forests by tho purchasers of public
lands.
As will bo seen, but few of them aro
of very grave Import. Section VIII,
as above, simply renows a recommen
dation in tho lost messago and 13 im
practicable and absurd. This country
has nothing whatever to do with
tho laws of other nations who are, or
ought lo bo, amply able to take caro of
their own Interests. Section XIII, al
though very vaguo and containing no
specific recommendation, looks to in
ternal constructions of tho most enor
mous proportions requiring tho expen
ditiiro of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Should tiio subject bo taken up by Con
gre.'s wo will discuss its merits hereaf
tor. Section XVI advocates tho pur
chase of tho telegraph lines by tho Gov
ernment. This is a renewal of a for
mer recommendation. This is a mon
strous scheme which would creato an
array of 20,000 or more ofllco holdera
and coat tho country an Incalculable,
amount ofmoney. Wo havo no space
to treat tho subject now, but propose to
do so at longth when, as is probablo,
it comes before Congress, flection
XXIII looks to tho expenditure of a
vast sum, but fails to stato clearly how
it Is to bo done. It would certainly bo
a great benefit to tho country If tho
lost carrying trade could bo recovered
but theroisBuch a thing as paying too
dearly for our whistlo. Section XIX
for a fedoral consus in 1875, Just before
tho centennial exhibition, is a good
1 dea mid would bo of valuo.
Tho mnjoilty of tho recommenda
tions possess no special claims for ap
probation and tho messago as a whole,
Is by no means., a remarkable docu
ment. Camerou Ilcbukcd.
The Washington Sunday Chronicle,
a strong Administration paper, edited
by ex-Senator Harlan, contains tho
following editorial rofcrenco to tho ac
tion of Cameron, last week, in piovcnt
Ing tho Senate from showing Its respect
for tho memory of Horaco Greeley :
Simon Cameron stooU in awo of Hor
ace Greeley whilo.ho Jived, and cringed
to Tho Tribune, as ho does to all sources
of power; but. Mr. Oreoloy dead, Cam.
oron dons tho lionVi skin, and essays to
kick. When Mr. Lincoln throw Camer.
on from .his Cabinet on account of his
peculations in contracts, Tho Tribune
was rather free in Its opinions of tho
Justico of tbo act. Cameron nover for-j-uvo
Greeley for this, but ho nover dar
d striko until under tho shadow of a
jmiailar victory of tho Republican par
ty. Tiic death of his eueuiy inado him i

If thero Is nny truth lu tho nbovo
statement It becomes clear why tho ox
guerrilla chief was ho delighted with
tho roolectloit of Gonoral Grant. It
may bo remembered that wo published
a short t lino since, Mosby's oiruslvo
telegram of congratulation to Grant,
with mmio comments thorenn. Mosby
Is evidently of n speculative (urn of
mind and perhaps having lu view
Grant's success as n dealer in Sonera
sandstone thought It well to conciliate
tlio powers that be, to tho end that
"thrift might follow fawning." Other
Confederate loaders havo bowed to tho
administration and round it prolltablo
and why not Moshy. To bosuro ho was
an Irregular sort of warrior, ono of a
kind not usually looked upon with
much respect by regular combatants,
but "loyalty" covers a multitude of
sins and doubtless his sins aro condonod.
Thero is a grim Irony In tho Idea thai ho
who aided lu laying in tho gravo tho
bodies of Union soldiers should now
erect tombstones to thoir memories,
but in this marvellous ago of anomalies
nothing surprises us. If tho dead could
speak tlioy might protest, but dead
men neither tell talus nor utter remon
strances. What blunderer could havo been
guilty of tho desecration of placing a
Simon Cameron club in tho funeral
procession of Iloraco Greeley ? Tho
telegraphic report of tho funeral coro
monies in Now York on Wcdnosday
places a Simon Cameron association
between tlio Tammany Hall General
Cominlttcoand tbo Sons of Tempo ranco.
It is not staled, and it is not likely that
tho world will over know, who consti
tuted this association. Of all men in
tho world Simoa C moron and
Iloraco Qreoley belong to tlio
most widely separated types. It is not
necessary to enlarge on tho obvious
differences in tho characters of theso
two men. Tho action of Cameron in
tho Sonatoon Tuesday shows how little
ho had In common with tho feelings of
tho club who followed Iloraco Greeley
to tho gravo in his name. When a
number of Senators, includiug his own
colleague, Senator Scott, sought tho
opportunity to glvo expression to the
sorrow that occupied all hearts but his
own, ho moved an Immediato adjourn
ment. To Sonutor Fenton's appeal for
permission to say a word on tho resolu
tion Senator Cameron replied by insist
ing on his motion. In keeping with
this conduct of Senator Cameron was
the action of tho electors at tho capital
on Wcdnosday. Tho bcof-wlttcd Borlo
was chosen presiding officer, and on
assuming tho chair ho took occasion to
brutally rovlio tho tlirco millions of
citizens who voted for Horaca Greeley
as "a desplcabio faction of misguided
"men." While tho solemn procession
was bearing to tho gravo tho mortal
part of tho great loader, and while tho
moat distinguished of tho living men
of tho nation, Including the President,
were paying tho horaago of respect to
his virtues, Governor Geary caused tho
cannon at tho arsenal in tho capltol
grounds to roar In honor of tho action
of tho electoral collego of Pennsylva
nia. Geary wants auothor office, but
wc greatly mistako if ho has not taken
tho wrong way of getting it from Pres
ident Grant. In tho great Stato of Now
York the Grant electors passed oloquent
resolutions testifying their respect for
tho character of his great opponont. In
Pennsylvania the electors respond with
contumely and Insult. This contrast
may bo attributed, without unnecessary
circumlocution, in ono word, (o Cam
cronlsm. Tho samo spirit that Cam
eron exhibited in tho Senalo was dis
played by tho electors with Borio at
their head, and by Governor Geary at
the capltol. Patriot.
The U. S. Supbkme Coukt. Ward
Hunt, who has been nominated for tho
bench of tho U. S. Supremo Court in
places of Justico Samuel Nelson, resign
ed,l3a nativoof tho Stato of New York,
born at Ulica, about 1812. Ho is tho son
of Montgomery Hunt, now dead, but
In his lifetime a prominent and wealthy
citizen of Utlca. Ward Hunt in early
Ilfo was an actlvo Democrat, and as
such, when still a young man, was
elected Mayor of Utica. Having In
herited a fortuno ho wa3 not obliged to
exert himself to obtain practice in tho
legal profession, which ho had adopted,
but in process of timo ho gained a high
reputation as a lawyer, and, in 18G5, ho
was elected by tho Legislature to tho
position of Assoclato Commissioner of
Appeals, this Court having under, an
amendment to tho Now York Constitu
tion been created with the object of
bringing up tho arrearages of cases on
the dockets of tbo regular Court of Ap
peals. This position ho still occupied at
tho timo of his appointment to tho U.
S. Supremo Court. Ho was warmly
recommended by almost every man of
legal promlncnco in his neighborhood,
without distinction of party. Justico.
Hunt, in his privato llfo.bas been abovo
reproach ; ho lias boon twlco married
first to a daughter of Chief Justico
Savage, of Now York, and second to a
daughter of James Taylor, of Albany.
The Boston Advertiser, a rod hot rad
ical organ, deals in (ho following mys
terious hints:
When tho President was first elected,
and great expectations wcro indulged
in ot what his independence and reso
lution would accomplish, tho politicians
openly threatened that if bo tried that
gamothoy would soon teach him whero
ho belonged, and It must bo confessed
that they kept their word. Tho Ponn
sylvanians who quitted his room tho
other day with clinched hands and set
teeth formed but part of an army much
moro formlilablo than that which was
arrayed against tho President in tho
Wilderness. Tho lynx oyea which
found In his privato tastes and inclina
tions tho means of shaking his prestige
during his first term will bo upou him
with renowed keenness.

omcers or tlio nation uoro ttieir part not
less than tho humblest citizens ; tho
great multitude of people who waited
for hours under tho wintry sky only to
bow their heads as their friend was
borne past them to his burial: It did
not need all thesdtoshow tho curiously
whin Hlgulllcanco or Horace Greeley's
Ilfo.
Tho generation Dial most misses him
is tho generation that ho finely touched
to so lino Issues. Tlilrtv veara iil'o two
classes of young men awaited him. Tho
ursi was iiiiiuu up or iarmors,mccnantcs
artisans; Industrious nud thrifty fol
lows, strong, honest, and capable, hut
coarso, narrow, and uncultured. To
them tho Tribune camons thorovolatlon
of a Ilfo undrotmed of. A Ilfo of books.
and art, and dally beauty. A Ilfo of
nooio iiuriKtiig, ami largo action, xney
know labor to bo their inovitablo por
tion. They saw how It might becomo
their highest dignity. Into prairlo
cabin, and frontier hut, and settlor's
saw mill, and artisan's tenement wont
these vivid thoughts of n now thinker,
and kindled a wiso discontent and u bet
ter endeavor.
Thosocond class was mado un of dllot
tatito and dellcato youth. They did not
liko tlio smoll nor tho manners of tho
commonalty. They doubted, aflor all,
whothor a paternal government was
not best for tho masses. Culturo was
their shibboleth. Life, at best, soomed
a llttlo bolchod to thorn. They wore
persons of tho most cultivatod clistasto.
To them camo this samo Tribune liko
tho sound of a trumpet, liko tho blast
of the north wind. It was full or n rudo
health and rustic honesty. It shook
them ofT thoir narrow podostals and
gave them tho broad earth to stand on.
It taught them that tho valuo of culture
was its scrvtco to Humanity.
From theso two ranks of men came
tho first recruits of that groat army
which Horace Greeley, moro than any
other ono man, raised up for liberty and
tho rights of all men overy whore. The
time is coming when Napoleon and
Wellington will no longer seem heroic
figures in a people's oyos, becauso tlio
Ideas they typilled will ho seen to have
been base and selfish. And In that day
tho dead journalist, defamed nnd nils
understood and ridiculed whiloho lived,
will como to tardy monumental honors
as tho real hero, the human exponent
of tho divlno idoa of lovo.
It is common to call him "our later
Franklin." But that is to bellttlo him.
Thero is a likeness in tho good natured
shrewdness, thu practical wisdom, tho
pithy speech, tho wish to bonedt men
in homely ways. But tho moral nature
of the pupil was iutlnltoly broader and
sweeter than that of tho master; and
whilo the aphorisms of tho older sago
havo a slight tasto of coppor, u certain
two penny half-penny morality and ex
actnuss, tho frugality and ahstomious
uesa which tho younger practlcod ouly
gave him tho largor moans of charity,
whilo saving for tho sako of saving
seemed to him only less ignoblo than
spending for tho sako of spending.
Moro thau to most men it was given
to him to sco of tho travail of his soul
and bo satisfied. Yet tho nation is
coming to understand that no success of
his was so triumphant as that which,
on tho 5th of November, wo all called a
defeat. To havo educated a pcoplo into
such astern and high lovo of liberty,
that when It fancied however blindly,
his foot to bo turning into strango paths
it should choose to follow his great
counsols rather than his groat leader
ship, is such a glory as a man might
well spend himself to win. Thero may
boanerd now of tho cruel taunt that
his vanity persuaded him to bo a can
didate, and that ho counted on a lovo
and confidence from tbo peoplo which
ho had nover possessed. Tho universal
griof doclares that not his most sangu
ine friends, not ho, himself, dreamed
of tho real affection that went out to
him. Novorablo qulto to keep pace
with him, the peoplo had plainly strug
gled up to a position from which, with
largor vision, ho had stopped to a
higher. When they seemed to deny
him, they were his truest disciples.
God permits us tho high ouds wo set
ourselves, but often changes tho means
to better. Our leader, and those of us
who followed him, believed that his
words and his works would convince
tho peoplo that magnanimity begets
magnanimity, forgiveness, repentance
and deeds meet for repentance; and
lovo tho acta of love. Wo see now that
only his death could bo thus eloquent.
Beside graves, men are touched with
charity. They are swift to offer repar
ation to tho dead for injustlco done tho
living. And tho day is not far distant
when Horaco Greeley's last act, tho
candidacy that resulted from his pass
ionate doslro to lift up tho boautiful
and prostrato south, and to see tho
union reunited and resplendent, will
seem tho whitest and bravest of a long
life's bravo deeds.
If wo bad a Westminster abbey, our
friend would yesterday havo been laid
therein. And yet ho would not havo de
sired that stately Isolation, For ho bo
lioved that more aud moro, as tho years
go on, tho sentiment of religion would
refuse to bo entombed In cathedrals and
to cousecrato hero and thero a bulldlncr.
To him all places wero sacred wherein
a great humanity had followed after
tho Highest. And ho would havo chos
en tho equal sky for his canopy and tho
generous earth for his bed, becauso the
samo rest and shelter aro free to all tho
raco. Wo can afrord to leavo him in his
unmarked gravo. Timo and death, those
kindly counselors, havo undertaken his
vindication who in life wo.ild nover
stoop to vindlcato himself, and :o them
wo may safely trust his fame.
For Humanity sweeps onward. Whero
to day the martyr stands,
On tho morrow crouches Judas with tho
silver In his hands, b
And the hooting mob of yesterday in
eilent awo returns.
To gather up the scattered ashes into
History's golden urns.
