The Tribune On Blair's Speech

The New York Tribune publinhes at length the speech of Hon. Montgomery Blair vvith the followiug commeuts : " We need not say that Mr. Blair's viewsonsome points are not ours, and that we could critioise sorne ot the statements of the speech f we had time and room. Suffice it at present that Mr. Blair's position in Mr. Lincoln's original Cabinet, where ho was the stern, consistent champion of prompt, decisiva resistance to dieuuion, give ao interest to all historical statements which will cause them to be road wlth interest by every man who will disaeut froiu some of his conclusioofi and recommendationa." It is noticeablü that the Tribune does not undertake the defence of Secretary Seward, Secretary Stanton or Jo. Holt, from the grave charges preferred by Mr. Blair. The Tiibune is also careful not to endorse the restoration policy of the President. It hatcs Seward and Stanton and does uot love Andrew Johnson. The Cincinnati Commercial says : " Washington is defended now by 1,400 meu, commacded by two hundred commissioned officiers - a sword to every seven muskets." Thia ia the way the epaulets are provided ior. And the peopls support the opaulets by hard toilDg. During last week 186 Southern Postoffices wt-'ro reopeoed, and sixteen mail routes let. The prices paid are less than beforc the war, and it is said that an effort will bo made to bring the expenses of the Southern mail systein rnuch nearer the receipta than in former days. The famous Homestead Wcll, on Pit Hole Creek, the second large well atruck in that locality, has ceased to flow. It bas been flowing five hundred barrels per dny for the las' six mooths.
