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 and the Atlantic coast, including a ship canal around Niagara Falls, and sup plemented by the proposal of a land locked cast routo bctweeu Malno and thoGulf of Mexico.

Recommending tho dovotion of tho net proceeds of tho Rale of public 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.

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. Arrnoi'iuATioNB fou 1873.

Earth to earth : ashes to fslies: dust to dust. To tho dead thero remains rest, and to tho living tho bur den of life. Into tho hands of his sor- vant God ga o great possibilities.

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.

Tho argu ments in favor of tho first of theso ro formsro suggested by tho death of Mr. are'elfey and tho confusion that bos resulted In tho Electoral Colleges of thoso States that voted for him.
