If this war has been useful for nothing else, it bas qt least done the public a great service by thoroughly exposing the corruption and im- beeility of the party press. The partisan papers make immense pretensions to honesty and to wisdom} but the people begin to appre- ciate these protensions at. their proper value. Facls are much more convincing than profes- sions; and the facts, as developed from day to day, conclusively prove (bat the party press Ia completely rotten with corruption, and equally unreliable as the organ or as the leader of Ameriena public opinion. As soon as the war was fairly uodor way the administration suppressed the Day Book and News, in this city, and other democratic papers throughout the country, and also denied to such journals as the Journal of Commerce the right of distribution through the United States mails. That this was done at the instance of, and for the purpose of benefiting, republican journalists is undeniable. We have no doubt that if the democratic patty ever gels the upper hand again we shall find democratic journalists calling for the suppression of the Zribuxeand Post. Itis thus that “partisan edilors seck to avenge themselves upon each other. They have no idea of the dignity of thé profession which they disgrace. They use the liberty of tie press asa cloak to excuse their excesses and licentiousness. They have no regard for the truth. Their favorite style of argument is abuse and misrepresentation. In short, they appear to exert every effort to transform news- papers into public nuisances: and they are all the more to be detested because they generally manage, in one way or the other, to make their living outof the public treasury. The other day Mr. Thuriow Weed, who gained his experience of this class of papers while conducting a partisan sheet called the Albany Evening Journal, came out in a letier donouncing the corruptions of the Post and the Tribune. The Post defended itself by counter accusations against Weed; 80 that we felt it only just to accept each of the parties at the other's valuation. But the Pecksniffian assump- tion of injured innocence on the part of the Post was exceedingly amusing. It took Weaven and Old -Abe io witness that it had never, never, never been connected with jobs, or con- tracts, or the profits from any office. What response Heaven made to this appeal we know not; but Old Abe responded by removing Mr. Henderson, the publisher of the Post, from the office of Navy Agent. While Bryant was twanging his lyre, and while Godwia was invoking the Muse of History, in walked an officer with this order of removal, and another officer followed with a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Henderson on a charge of defrauding the government. This was a truly dramatic situation; but Bryant and Godwin try to brazen it out. They still claim that their hands are clean, whether Henderson's are or not. But if there were over any deficits in the balance sheeta of the Post, certainly Mr. Henderson, the publisher, had to make up the amount; and if the charges agcinst him are true, he certainly took that amount from Uncle Sam’s till, and Bryant & Godwin shared iu the profits of the little transaction. What a pesition for a poe?! What a horrible dilemma for a historian! But poets and historians have no business to belong to a partisan paper. ‘The poet choula soar, wloft and feed on air, instead of feasting at’ the public crib. The historian should diet on old books and manu- scripts, instead of making extracts from the public treasury. We express no opinion upon Mr. Henderson’s guilt or innocence, in accord- ance with the request in his published note; but we must say that if he be proven guilty Messrs. Bryant and Godwin, the editors of the Post, will be placed in a peculiarly perplexing predicament. Poor Greeley, of the Tribune, also came out with a card, denying Thurlow Weed’s asser- tions, This card was rather equivocal. He stated that Weed and be bad quar. relled because one of them had de- termined to use his polities as a meaus of pecuniary advancement. Of course everybody supposed that this referred to poor Greeley’s gun contracts, and inter- preted it as another “Just Once’ confession, This very natural idea seems to have disturbed Greeley greatly: for he immediately wrote another card, oxplaining and qualifying the former, We believe as much of this card as we do of Ben Wood's statement that Teruando Wood has nothing whatever to do with the Daiiy News. In brief, we do not believea word of it. True, poor Greeley makes a sort of affidavit to the assertions of bis letter; bat the affidavit lacks both the United States stamp and the stamp of honesty, For example, poor Greeley calls our se of his coytract con- nections a “silly joke.” On the contrary. it was no joke at all, and especially not for Greeley. Jokes are not usually founded upon and supported by official documents, as our expose was, When we joke we joke; but our remarks upon the gun contract business are made of sterner siaff. Again, poor Greeley declares that neither ever “had eny shadow of iuterest in any gun contract whatever.” Now, what non sense this is, when the official copy of ® gun contract, endorsed “Tribune,” is on file et the War Dqyarimeni, and when this and other documents, including notes from Snow, Almy and Wilkeson, of the , Trinme, have boen officially transmitied to aad are now officially published. however, poor Greeley means Perhaps, when he says that he he refers to to joke. has had no “shadow of interest,” the difference between the shadow and the sub- stance. Again, the Zribune philosopher states that he has “been a partner in no contract, job or undertaking of any sort, with, to or for the government of this State,” since Lincoln has boen President. How foolish thie statement seems to us When we remember (as we do dis- tincily) having seen the nawe of Horace Gree- ley mentioned in an official report as one of those who supply the State with prison beef. Perhaps, however, this is another quibble, Perhaps poor Greeley says that he has not boen “e partner’ because be had that job all to himself. But we have no patience with this cheap verbal juggling, this playing upon words to disguise undoubted facts. Bryant, Godwin sod Greeley must sit in the stocks together, uatil we send some other partisan editors to keep them company. This oless of men hate the Herat as heartily fee we despise ther. Tho Usnaty is the paper of the people, and as rily—not because euch evidence bas not been eagerly sought, but almply because it has Lever existed, A Political Scheme of the House of Orioans, Louis Philippe Albert, Count of Paris, thc heir to the throne of France, as claim the ad- herents of the royat family o° Orleans, bas es- poused the Princeas iso)eis of Spain, and by so doing checkmated the manmnvrea of Napoleon Tf, who has sought to gain the good will and alliance of that government ever since be attaincd power. The Emperor of the French married Bugenie because through her he boped to obtain a hold upon the Spanish pedple. In ell matters wherein be might show good will and. faver to Spain he was ever eager and desirous to do so, and ufitil the with- drawal of her forces from the-Mexican ex- pedition the entenfe eordiale between that goverament and France seemed complete. Siace that event a coolness has arisen between the cabinets of Madrid and Paris, and now that the royal house of Spain is allied to the royal family of Orleans, it may be considered that Napoleon’s chances to consolidate any alliance with Spain are meagre. This much has certainly been accomplished by the marriage of the Count of Paris; and, as-royal espousals are genorally more matters of polics than affection, the House of Orleans bas herein gained a great advantage over its natural enemy, Napoteon. Within the past five or six years the Orleans family has steadily gained ground throughout Eurdpe, and we may add in this country also. The princes Lave come prominontly before the world as worthy s their cause scomed sees by the rie and glilter of the now empire, they are recovering the good will and loyal attachment of the people. There sow a powerful Ovleanict party in Pr. on capable and bold—whe are assuming promineut positioas before tho people, and who, in the scenrity of a grest aud increasing party, dare to oppose Napoleon openly. The remarkable men in the French legislative chambers are the Ocicanists. Napo- leon and his more devoted followers fear these men, and endeavor to thwart their opposition by tricks unworthy a stable government; but the people see through these potty schemes, and steadil 2 Orleans nily is recovering the favor which the supinoness of one of its mem- hers jeopardized. Wher Napoleon, influenced by Persigny, granted to the chambers -the liberty of dise p, he made a9 fatal mistake. Ife thus placed in the hands of b's opponents a mcans of attack which he dare not now withdraw. A despotic government, sach as his, cannot withstand baving its meusures dis: enssed, The Orleanists do this. They show up the errors and despotic measures of Napo- Jeoa, and, as a reswt ke converts to thelr party and strengthen the faith of those who were wavering in their allegiance. Napoleon is well aware of this, and he bates the House of Orleans ali the more intensely that he fears This hatred is evinced by the anger he Leti whea the prisees of Orleaas receive great atiention at the Maglish court. AML journais making allusion to the priaces are suppre+sed in France. Voreign jou containing suoh are not @istribuled. When the princes came to this country and espor the cause oF the Talon the anger of Napoleon he nor his partoers | was intense. The envoys of the rebel govera- ment took advantage of this annoyance, and were received with favor. As affairs now stand, Napoleon is too powerful to be ousted suddenly by the Orleans party; but ‘thore ie great "probability that wera ho to die the House of Orleans would at once be called to rule in France. Thore isa great and increas- ing desire for th's among the people, and in the army there is @ feeling in favor of the princes, During the Tialian war the young Duke de Chartres served in a regiment of Sar- dinian lancers. He came freqnently in contact with the Irench troops, and these ever be traved fhe utmost respect, we might say rever- ence, for the ‘royal exile. This feeling was universal, from the conscript to the marsbal, Tt was plainty to be observed that tlicse men were ready at a momeut’s notico to shout “ Vive les Orleans?” with ali and more tian the ardor with which they saluted Napoleon. There are at preseni Uuree persons who may be considered heirs to te throne of France— Henry V.. the Bourbon; the Gount of Peris the Orleans Prince, and, ty, the Prince Impe vial, son of Napoleon TH. Ut is well known that the first'named, the “Legitimate,” bas so small a purly in France that all hopes of his ac- cession to the throne are futile. The chances are, then, divided between tho Count of Pari and the Priuce Tmperinl, and will continne in favor of the former, unless Napoleon should rule for many years yet. leayo the Prince still young and incapable of assuming the reins of government, the people would not snbmit long toa regency, and the re- publican party would be outnumbered by the | Orloanists; so that, all things considered, the Count of Paria bids fair to reign in the city of | his birth. His cauge will be backed by all tho influence of Nogiand and Spain, and have the good will of Europe generally. Taking this view of affairs, the Jate marriage of the Prince assumes a greai polition] signideance, and may be termed a successful move on the part of the Orleans family.
