There is something ioexpressibly sad in the closing scenes of Horgcr Grreiry's life. He was a man whose last days sho'd have been full of peace and rest, Bo was a man whose old ago should have been cheered and sweetened by Tove and affeo tion, the strongest and best. His early life was full of bardahips, the days of his prime busy, toilsome anes, his declining yesrs knew no cessation of toil, weari- \some and vexatious. If any man ever deserred rest and comfcré in this life, did. - He earned sympa- thy, for much did he bestow. Henceded cheer, for hoe never withheld it himself He was worthy of confidente, for ho nev- er denied it. Ho was entitled to grati Aude, for his life was redolent with gen- erous deeds, - But rest, sympathy, cheer, confidence, and appreciation ali failed him at the last when glorigus fruition of all the life of earnest strpggles for the good of others was to have been - expect- ° ed. His life closed drearily to him. He . sat in the shadpws at the 'last. There. is brightness now, but there (was blackness then. His )ast letters shadow his un- happy frame of mind. 'To Gen. Ltsuis Cours, Lexington, Ky., bo writes under date of Oct. 28th, 1872 : - Drax Farzxo -My wife still lingers with us, but is very feable, She may drop off sny day.

How can the Republican pasty-how can the puipit-melt with compassion over the fato of a Grrrizt, and be insen- sible to the infinitely worse fate of the South? How is it they can soo only the light of bis virtues, and can see only the shade of Boathero frailties ? 'To GrERLET's virtues they are unkind, to his faults wholly blind. Why can they not be to the - outh's faults a litile blind, aod to its virtues somewhat kind ? How can the Republican party and theo pulpit witness with insensibility the mis government, plundering, corruption and demoralization of - carpel bag govern ment. Let every Republican, upon his candor, ask himself what woald be his feelings if subjected to similar treatment! May we not also appeal to the conscience of ihe pulpit and of the Republican party for their own judgment upon their imeon sistent action toward strickon and the étricken South. # Attorney General has decl ded that postmasters have bo more au« thority to open letters other than those addressed to themselves than any other citizens of the United States.\ And a pretty state of things it develops when such a decision becomes necessary. It is equivalent to a commission of judges de- ciding that Jorn Dor bas no right to filch Ricuar»o Rog's purse. | Every body would say, to what toworing heights theft has gone to thus exalt itself almost into theo attitade of honesty. And what a fas recommendation this decision gives us of the meditated postal telegraph j>b.

Qaariern, one of the accused Congressmen, who intro, duced him to Mr. another Impli costed party, who im mediately conducted him to tie Wage and Means Committas room,where they held a loog conference. It is rumored that Oares Aures and his guilty associates have arrapged a compro- mise with McCoun, and that the damag- ing lefiers, on which tho charges of bri- bery were based, bave been destroyed. We hare not yet forgoiton bow, last your, the bribe scattering Seostors from Kan- sas first demanded an investigation with brazen vehemence, and then adopted means to prevent the Commiitee from reporting. Aro we to bare a repetition of that little game ? \ It is a fact of much importance to thoue concerped that one of the leading Life Insurance Companies of New York bus resolved to reduce its rates of insurince twenty per cent. It has always been freely acknowledgan by insutance men that tflo premium on life risks is mush greater than the actual cost of Insursnee. Fhe rule is msintained, it is explained, to cover. unlooked-for contingegaoles and in the erent of its not being required,the surplus is returned to tha iastred in the retaining such a safeguard no longer ex cumulation being sample to meet every possible emergency. This redociion of rates by 006 company will no doubt fin» duos others to take similar action, and the benefits of life insoragice will be brought within the means of a muth larger number of people. setmeesemeveneasme stan The new Constitutional Commisaipn bas manifested a purposé not to enfer upon their work until the meeting of the Legislature which is to act upon their da- liherations. \As the sersion is limited to fifty days, they will have to act prompily after that time to secure action from the present Senate, which, of courme, is de- | sirable If their work is to be foally adop. tod in 1874.

Theo election of & United States Senator to succead Sprucer is thus deinged by this undignified dead~ lock. For thosake of public decency, if notbing elsa, it is to be hoped that the quarrel will be adjosted soon, and the recalcitrant LegusIators take their propet places in the proper places in the proper manner. - If there bas been fraud in any! care, there is a way to settle the question without this disgraceful procedure. i Tho Freeman's Joarna', of Coopers- town, N.

Thus closes a most remarkable and Rkighly bonorable and distinguished jadi- cial cureer, covering a period of half a centogy. As to point of time and con- stant rervice it was without precedent in this couniry or Eogland, and we doubt whether it bas a parallel in the history of jurisprudence. Lord Mans servod thirty-two years, and Lord Enpox twenty-eight years, and thoy wore longest on the beoch of Great Britain ; Chief Justice Marsnare was thirty four years on the benob, Chief Jastics 'Taxer thirty years, Mr. Justices Sroar thirty- twenty fire years-and cf thg distin- guished judges of this country they longest boid judicial positions.

Will. | r00 for Probate. Surprising . Proceeding--The Wil Contested. \~ - Ne Grealey, with a few friends. accompanied by counsel, appesr.d before the Surro- gata.to offer for probate the will of thoir father, This will-wns‘execuled-Nov- 29, 1872 It-had bron written by him some rime ago, but was anly preseoted to him for execution a fow hours before his death. It gavo all his property equally to his two deughtes. This instrument had bsen placmt among his private papers by Mr. Gresley, and it was only taken from among tho n at the time of his list attack, and at the first lucid in- terval thereafter offered to him for At tha same time counsel appeared before the Surrogate to contest this @i-l and ofaring io its steai ope dated January, 1871. The contestants ara Samuel Sipclair, Richard H. Manning, aod Cbarles Storrs. The two laiter were named as execu\ tors. Tho counsel for the contestants theo said that he boped ali parties would acquiesce in the wilt of 1871. He thought the will executed by Mr. Urecley before bis death dod great injustice, inasmuch as it gave all thoe property to Mis Ida, with the qualification that one half of it was 19 be us d by her, at her own discro ion, in the eupport and education of her si-ter, Gatin le, and that soze relations would be depr.vei 0\ the pro- perty ipteaded for them. The counsel for the daugbters thought theso remarks uncalled for. sod announced that Miss Ida hid offered to nseign to ber sister one-taif of the property, also to grant suitable annuities to relatives. The Muss Gree'oy taen doclined to conrider ang propials for a compromise. The regular proceedings for contesting the will cosued on the ground cf the in- capacity of the testator to execule the will of 1872. The frt witness was Miss Lampson, who teatified she became a wituess to the will cu tho dsy Mr Gracley died, Mr. Greeley was then, a few hours before his death, conscious and rational, After some further examination of this witness, an agjouroment foil awed. The will of 1871 gives.the property t> bis daugbters, bution addition gives be- quests to his relatives, and a legecy equal to the value of tha shares in the Tri- 2902 to the Coildren's Aid Society of New ork.
