TWO WEONGA DON'T MAKE A BIGHT.
One wrong cannot justify another. The dis?
putants over the undecided Presidential ques?
tion OUght, above all things, to bear this in
mind. It is not only true as ?t matter of
morals, but absolutely sound as a matter of
policy, and es]iecially of political policy. For,
a ?party tempted to do Wiong in any of tin
ways that bave been Suggested in the course
of the widely varied discussion of the, current
topic, and to justify itself for trickery of sharp
?practice upon the gromd that th.- opposition
has done the same or worse, or cont?mplales il,
opens the door to a succession and progression
of fraudulent proceedings, .whose logical re?
sult is the temporary triumph of the worse
party, and whose end is sure to be the coun?
try's ruin. The talk of politicians on both
sides runs dangerously near the edge of this
fatal moral and political blunder. No action of
a Republican Returning Hoard in South Caro
Una, Florida, or Louisiana c in be defended
on the ground simply that it is no
worse than what the Democrats have done
in New-York and elsewhere, Tweed and
the Tammany Ring an.i the methods by
which they counted in Hodman and
gave the electoral vote of Now-Yoik to Sey?
mour in 186_. may serve t? Dlnminate the
history of the Democratic party and as a corn?
aient upon the sincerity of that party in its
present high and holy opposition to fraud. It
is well enough to keep at least mi much of
Democratic history in mind for the ben? tit of
ranting demagogues who. after enjoying the
fruits of Tammany frauds for so many years,
are pretending to such holy honor ot frauds
which they only ?respect on the pail of their
opponents. Urnas ft-lhrwi need be a little
more modes'. In the preliminary bearing
in eases <>f suspected theft it is nut
becoming in persons recently eaughi receiving
stolen goods to be too clamorous. The record
of a party and of its treated leaden is legiti?
mate math ?- for consideration in the Inquiry
as to the character of the parly and leaders
and the sincerity of their profesaiona. Bal its
lawlessness furnishes no precedent,and affords
BO justification for wrongdoing on tlie part oi
the opposition. Nothing done by Demo?
crats in New-York can excuse or palliate any
wrong done by l.epiib?i-aii.s in Louisiana.
There are no s.t-olls of that sort in honest
politics.

Within a IB? days some of the purists ill poli?
tics, who have, as we believe, l?i?*.iu?li:e?l the
whole ease la I.unisiana, MM. satisfied them
selv. s that tlie Vote of the State does not
honestly belong to Huyes and Wheeler,
have come forward with a plan to estab?
lish truth and fair dealim. by treachery
and dishonesty. They say the vote of I.nii
Mana has been fairly liiveii for Tilden, but
Unit he has bean cheated out of it by tin?
Returning Hoard. 'J'his. they assurt, is so
patenl a fact M to justify any conscientious
RepubHcaa elector ta any state?say Prof,
Lowell of Ilassachusells? in easttag his voto
for Mr. Tilden, or for some other candidate
than Got. Hayes, so thai the rascality
suspected, n??t proved, of the Louis?
iana Returning Board may be defeated
of its object. Tin1 call has actually
been maile upon some I. publican elector to
pursue this course. It is perhaps significant
of the ilitl'ciciiVe between the two imrties that
such an appeal in the supposed interest of
truth and fair dealtag should be mude to Be
publican electors. It indicates a feeling in
the public mind that the representative nun
a?f that party may be trusted to c insider fairly
ami conscientiously any proposition ta? do jus?
tice, though at the sacrifice o? party m?cese. It
is not too much to say that were the Situation
reversed no SOcfa appeal to the instincts of
honesty and honor of Democratic electors
would be thought of for a moment. Since
.Mr. < ?re: ley's appeal to .Mr. Tibien to pri?
vent tin? consummation of gTOM ami gigantic
frauds w is disregarded by tin? )? moo to whom
it was addressed, and darkled by the party,
there has been no delusion m the publie miml
on thai store. Hut the present proposition
seems to us to involve a straii'.'e moral
obliquity and pe.re.--on of Judgment.
it certainly needs no argument t?? prove that
such action on the part ol a Republican elec?
tor would be treachery t?> the party thai
elected biro. The elector has no discretioa ta
the mutier. Whatever m.iy bava been the <1< -
sign of tin- authors <>f tit?- system of Electoral
CollegaSi or whatever the practice in the
earlier i\.i\* of the Republic, nothing is more
certain than t?at preceden! und usa*.??*, which
aw? the on written law. a* Unding us
any statute upon tin* honor of the
elector, have limited his functions to tin
merely formal c-pression of the *.. i 11 ? ? r the
voten who elected him. He is simply the
trustee ?>f their rote, the instrument by which
the expression of their choice is given?nothing
more. Under our practice ? majority of the
voters of a State, who have previously indi?
can ?l beyond question the precise duty he is
to perform) hive sel>eeted him to act for them
in the discharge of that duty, and only that.
Nothing could be more tfrlrtlj defined than
the limits of his o!lice, and he cannot exceed
them without being guilty el treachery and
dishonor.
No judicial quality attaches to the position.
There is no office in our whole system ?if gov?

has maintained from the beginning tliiit the
litst necessity was an bonest cuiiiit, anal that
no rub? ail retaliation nor casuistry ol justifj
tag the means l?v the end would warrant any
crooked <>r unfair dealing. Two ?wrongs in
thai matter would not make a right, and cer?
tainly the suspicion that wrong bas been done
in Louisiana or anywhere else would not
excuse <?r palliate the great crime involved in
the proposition that sunn- l-tepobliean elector
should be guilty ?>f treachery to the voters
who trusted him, with the purpose of correct?
ing Injustice with which he has nothing todo.
There is a very general belief amona our peo?
ple that Providence may safely l??? trusted
with the welfare of the nation, it is well
enough t(> reuiemlief this, ami that even iu
such a muddle as tin? present Providence does
not need to be reenforcedby fraud, falsehood,
or treachery to establish truth and justice.
THE PEOPLE'S WILL MUST BE OBEYED.
We me asked to believe that ? Presid utial
elector will sail himself. What is the differ?
ence whether be betrays bia trust for money,
for office, or for personal <>v social favor f In
either CUM his act will be infamous. ||( has
accepted a position conferred by the votes of
a parly. His fa llow-cili/eii-, wishing to vote
for Mr. Haves, and thinking the elector an
honest man. delegated to him their votes. He
has physical power, it is true, to vote fur any?
body els?-, ami so be has power to rob his
neighbor of money handed to him, in reliance
upon his inlc.'iily, for the payment ol
a debt to a third ?person, lint it is
not possible tn conceive i baser or meaner ad
of bad failli than that which some papen, loud
in their professions of superior virtue, are
urging saune Bi publican elector to commit
Can any good cause 1><* served by an act of

a thing have little conception of the taextin
gnishable scorn and contempt ?with which
plain eiti/ens hear such a proposal. Even
among thieves there i? .some sorl of honor.

Is as well to remember that i: may l?,* unsuc?

Already Democratic managen, ?afe?se pro?
fessions of reform do not prevent then from
stealing votes if they can,have caused enouah,
ol alarm to disclose the bet thai an attempt
to defeat the declared v. ill of the peoph. would
be sharply disputed. It has already bren su-.
geated that, if the Governor of Oregon ia a
Democrat, the Governor of North Carotina is
not. If a vote is stolen by refusal of | ccitiii
eata ta ?Oregon, it is at teeat a pnwaJbillty that
certificares may be refused in North Carolina,
0:1 tlie grottcd thai thfl majority had been ob?
tained by band. If ?m elector is bribed, or
betrays the trust reponed by the voter* it
is already threatened that the entire vote
of Mississippi may be assailed on the ground
that terrorism [prevented a fair election,
or the entire vote of Kentucky, on tlie ground
that, nid ?real voting for rresideutial electors
is illegal and void. ?Mississippi has been care?
fully investigated by agents of the National
lb-publican Committee, who have accumu?
lated a mass of testimony not yet made
public. Few persons would listen to such
testimony as a grand for defeating the popu?
lar will, but if it wen apparent that the
will of the people would be defeated by the
knavery of one elector, is it not probable that
the Senate would seriously consider a man of
testimony showin?. that no free and fair elec?
tion had been held in Mi-dssinpi. On techni?
cal grounds, the vote in Kentucky is ?plainly
irregular. Hut fair men would never od-Tjeet
to it if the will of the people were to be de?
feated thereby. Suppose?, however, that a
technical objei-tion to Kentucky will save tin
will of the ?people from defeat by a bribed or
treacherous elector, is it clear that the corrup?
tion of an elector might not be answered by
the exclusion of a State .
We do not discuss the propriety of these
Bt-Pnj we point to them only lu-cause, if the
duly declared will of the people is to lie de?
feated by fraud, bribery, or betrayal of trust,
the intense feeling sure to result is likely to
go to _______Ml on the other side. Moreover,
a large body of plain citizens, who will not
countenance any act to rob Mr. Tilden of a
lightf?I election, would then hc-_.iii to doubt
whether any technicality whatever might not
lie employed to defeat fraud If the .l?gal de
? ? i - i < ?n in th.- disputed Southern Stat?-s, or either
of them, is in favor of ?Mr. Tilden, an over
Wbebuiag public opinion will flown upon an..
attempt ?to disturb the result by technical
nu ans. Men may differ as to what the de?
cision should have been, but hosts of ?Republi?
cans vvill insist that tli?- legal dc<-i.ioii. as to
what the will of the people in thon states

THE ERISII /..>' MONI l// ST.
Four yean ago yesterday the people of
New-York v-iuatarili ani.nl.d to Mr. Greeley
the honors of a publia funeral. No <?iliti.il
'auction, no elab.u.it?? preparation was re?
quired, but spontaneously fron all ranks and
j conditions ol men came tin- multitude which
? followed the philanthropist, the philosopher,
! un?! th.- statesman to bis resting place. Vea
I torday the occasion was simpler, bul no one
I present vvill admit that it,was less iaipresidve.
The day was clear, the wmter *-k>- wai
I brilliant ; and as the old Friend- of the jour?
nalist ?gathered Am-?- more about his ?grave
their affectionate memories seemed to bring
back for an hour the warm I h and color of ?the
departed Bummer, Par away the magnificent
panorama of the landscape was fitly marked
; by the towers ami roofs of tin? peal city
which suggested bis " busy life," his tireless
industry, ami the humanity, toil-worn ami
troubled, for who.??- relean from conventional
impediments he so assiduously worked and
thought, and w.t*1 always writing and printing
and speaking. It was ?fitting ?that those who
knew him tut and loved him boat should
make this pilgrimage to his twice-hon?
ored grave. The gathering wn large
enough to show in how many hearts
In- is freshly remembered. There were old
men, sume of them the earliest of his friends,
' ami others whose proa-nee proved that death
sssuages all resentment-, Then- were thon
who had labored under his direction, and who
can m ver forgot the lessons which be taught
them;while ot the many hundreds who were
there we maj safely say that there was not one
who did not recall Horace Greeley with a sen?
timent of affeetion and regret
The ( xen-ii?. s of the occa-?ion were simple,
and in keeping with the character of tin? man
who was Unis honored. The poem of Mr.
Slttliiiiin was of a kind which Mr. Orecley
WOUld have liked, nor would he have asked
for any higher (-ulogiiiin than that his "life
" was made sublime, by m-ivtcc for his brother
"creature.'- A manly, honest elegy, with Its
sincerity visible ?n every Une, it hardly needed
the poetical ?green with which ii iras ?abun?
dantly Hipplied. And what is true of tin-poem
is equally true of the short, compact, and
vigor?os oration of Mr. Hay aid Tay lor,
in which everything proper to be ??.-?id
at such a time was said limply and
earnestly. A noble opportunity was allbnled
of enforcing the truth that "lime swiftly re
" pairs all injustice," ami Mr. Taylor well __,?
proved it in some respect, the character of
tlr. Greeley, so often delineated, bre ?never ba?
ton been so judiciously ptc.npd; and espe?
cially may be noted the ?point that " he under
"-t.l .is few ?Americans have d.? the tern**
" per ami character of the American people.'1
This was the key-note of Mr. Tay lo;\s address,
and the thought ?fiords u test by which the
intellect and the achievement of Mr. Greeley
may be best ?triad and lound most surely not
to be wanting.
Thus passed an occasion exec? diiigly grati?
fying to ull who still eherisb ?Mr. Qreeley'g
memoir. It was pleasant I?, them to see as?
simile; by their pn sonco, not only Ott young
who may so saMy in the conduct of life fol?
low his excellent example, but l!i" venerable
editor, like Mr, Weal, and tLu.? vcueiablo law
ycr, like Mr. Charles O'Conor. It was equally
pleasant to ?see so man} men and women of
letters improving this opportunity of showing
how much they honored one who through
native taste nnd resolute endeavor won a
distinguished place within their ranks. Every
thinjr tended to show th" permanent nature of
Mr. (?rceley'a good name nnd fame. Death,
which dims so summarily so many brilliant
reputations, lias only rendered his the brighter ;
and it was the thought of more than one of
those who yesterday retraced their way from
Greenwood to the city, that this honored
nr-mory has passed permanently into history.
The printers have shown both pood taste and
honorable feeling in the erection of this
monument; but long after the processes of
nature have mellowed the bronze into a
soberer antiquity, the life and career of Hor?
ace Greeley will afford a shining example,
which those who toil intellectually or manu?
ally may equally follow with encouragement
and prolit. __________________
///?/./' POI THE LITTLE OSES.
In all of the myriad homes into which The
Tkiiu ne enters this morning, there are very
few in which the central point of interest is
not the one member who does not read The
Tkii?ink, and knows nothing of business,
politics, or religion?the baby, the boy, the
wonderful wean, the little life which unfolds
further and further each day like a mit ?ten?
ions flower. It is he who is well fed and
daintily clad, no matter who in the household
goes shabby and hungry; he who has the
warm corner, the soft bed. It is for him the
jaded mother stitches late into the night and
builds castles radiant with the glory of her
own youth ; for him the father gives up his
own eoinfoit, success, place in life. Than is
not one of ?mr readers who has not at this
moment In Ids mind's eye some chubby
cheeked, beloved little tyraut born to rule in a
happy hume.
( Mit.side of these happy homes there are
babies and little children just as tender, just
as helpless, just as much of a miracle fresh
from God's hand. Thousands, tens of thou
______? ail them ?.row wan and sicki'ii from
their birth in the Cellars arbore they belong?
the crowded, tilth} tenement houses. Instead
of a babyhood defended by the care and skill
of mu. tiers, nurses, and doctors, they fight
with death daily even iu their eradles. Their
fathers sacrifice no comfort or ambition to
them ; they know neither comfort nor ambi?
tion. It is well if they keep them from . tar
vation by hard work?well if work is to be
hail at nil. Their mothers love them as
tenderly, . but they are not likely to
dream <?f coming happy years over their
pinched ami hungry faces ?, the preeeui years
are too breathless, real, and terrible. At no
time in tin* year, perhaps, is th.? gulf so vis?
ible which yawns between these dill'ercnt
classes of children as in the .Sunnier, when
disease is rife among them all, and the tierce
heal mid foul air of the cities are certain death
to their already weakened bodies. The chil?
dren <?f the rich man are earned to mountain
or BOO side, and the pure air restores them as
by magic : BO certain is the cure, and so ahao
luii-ly necessary to life, that there are few
children, even of families whose nia-ans are
great!, straitened, that are allowed to remain
in town duntig the l?.<t mouths. The children
of the very poor do remain, and, as we all
know, they are swept into the grave by the
thousand weekly.
It entered into the hearts of some good
women last y?;ir (women, doibtleaa. with
children of tholr own) to give to these little
i ma - a di.nice far life. An did mansion at the
-i aside was Rtted up, and drelltnte sick
children taken to it and kept there until health
was restored ; 1,670 children were thus cared
for and saved. The managers propose to make
a permanent sanitarium " by the erection of
" plain, comfortable pavilions at the snosidn "
They have determined " not to erect a costly
" structure," and promise ('?..it " not a dollar I
"of debt shall be Incurred, ami that every
" penny raised will be applied directly to the
"object desired." To raise the requisite funds
a fair will be hehl at the Academy of |_ns_e
from tin 11th to the Kith of ?December, ami
they safe tor help in money, goods of any
description) time, or labor. We do not mean
to say a word to nrge this cause upon our
readers. They need but look in the faces of
their own little ones and those of tin? paupers
without their gates. Why should the one be
blessed and tin? other cursed ? Both are cliililren
of the same Father. He gives us the means
to help them, and the ?lay will canne when He
will require tin- lives of both at our hands.

THE MONI MENT TO GREELEY.
Tbe bust, unvailed yesterday, which liaa
I?? ? n very carefully and conscleiitiouiSy modoiod by Mr.
? al\ i rlcy, Is of colossal size, and cast in tlie most endur?
ing I? -onze. It rcpn s.-nts Horace Etttttf as he nppeared
during the last three or four years of his life, fresh and
alert In all his faculties m spite of his age and unremit?
ting labors. The likeness is excellent, although from
the position of the monument, <m a detached knoll, It la
rather difficult to find a good point of vie??*. It ought
property to be seen ou a level, fat it ran only Ik? lern
froia I.clow, or in a pmtile, so near as to take away some?
thing of Its character. The expression Is that of the
cheerful, kindly at ten*, ion which the friends of Horace
(irce'.ey remember so well In his face, while ho was
hau listening aud half meditating bis reply. Tile
?light lift of the eyebrows Is very characteristic
of him, and the modeling of tho lips gives that sugges?
tion of a ? Lining smile which his mouth frequently wore
In rapsss? Th?- lar?cu.-M?, fullness, ami l?-aiitiful sym?
metry of the head arc very accurately riT?rodueed. It Is
an entirely honest and satisfactory work, and tbe print?
crs of tlie country have thus been f.i.tunat?- m every
ttuta,?Ut the achievement of their honorable design and
tin ?el?cttoii of the artist to whom Its BMM important
fcati'.n-has lioeii intrusted. The likeness to the orig?n.d

appuieut. from a point about half way up the knoll, and
a little to the right of the approach to tbe vault Tbe
