exchanges, and give it as it there ap

is taken has not joins under oar obser

regard to the extract, as it stands stated,
is that it would be well for that journal
to be more accurate iu its facts, not only
inite assaults upon " Mr. Stephens,” but
in its statement of its “ predictions” and
their “verifications.” We (have many
very vivid recollections of the “ pre

last eighteen months, as well as of bis
“denunciations” of “Mr. Stephen*,’

Sew York Tribune
In an editorial article announcing the
new management and policy of the New
York Tribune, Mr. Whitelaw Reid sayB
In taking up the unfinished took which fell from
Mr. Greeley’s hands a few woeka ago, we happily
have the men whom he brought around him, the
facihUea which he accumulated, and means ao am'
pie that when, a few days since, over half a million
dollars waa paid for the bare control of the paper,
we. knowing the worth of what Hr. Greeley
built np, bid higher and brought lt back. Msking
allowance of the tact that the Tribune is practicoUy
without improved real estate, this indicates by far
the highest price ever paid for a newspaper on this
continent—a price greeter, we may say without of
fense, than any other paper on the continent, with
the exception of the Herald, could be expected to
command. But henceforth there is no price what,
ever with which any stranger can bny it—it is be
yond reach.”
