SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1881 Baroy Vaux published an article in the Parisian Ultramontane paper, the Tribowlet, reflecting on Prince Murat. The latter chal- sanged’ Vaux, and was wounded In the duel which followed. Mn. Hiiiuotse, Assistant United States Treasurer, has tendered his résignation, id it has been accepted. The office has seen tendered to a New York gentleman, who fs described as of high standing in com- mercial circles. ambettist, read a decree in the French Chamber of Deputies yesterday withdrawing the bill relative to the inspec- tion of imported salted meats. Thisisequiv- alent to withdrawing the restrictions on the importation of American hog products. Ir is understood that when ex-Senator Frelinghuysen succeeds Mr. Blnine as Se retary of State, Judge Bancroft Davis will enter the State Department as Assistant Sec- retary, vice Hitt, who will be given another position. Ivis further stated that-Secretary Hunt will succeed Judge Bancroft :Davis in ‘the Court of Claims. Iris reported ‘that Representatives Town- send and McKinley, of Ohio, have said that they will support Hiscock tor Speaker, and Keifer’s friends are depressed. iscock’s friends‘are jubilant, and are. now claiming success for their candidate. In the mean- time Kasson is developine considerable strength, which may surprise Keifer, His- a and the other Eastern and Ohio candi- ites. be THart most busy individual, Patrick Egan, has issued acircularto the Parisian journals diforming them that they have been imposed. ‘by-English news agencies and corre- ““spondgents in reference to the affairs of ~ frelaiid, and has. taken it upon himself to supply them with correct information. on such matters. For this purpose he has es- tablished a Franco-Irish press agency, of which O’Donovan, brother to the celebrated zondon ‘Daily News correspondent, is the Rea it is stated that.a high official of the United States Government is about to enter @ remonstrance against the policy. pursued by Chili towardseru, and will intimate in rather forcible ‘language that the United States cannot stand idly by while Peru is being deprived of all power. It is also said that the. United States Government regards the terms already exacted of Peru by Chill as oppressive and unjust, and will express itself in favor of a more moderate policy. Ministers Kilpatrick and Iurlput will be in- formed of the State Department’s views on this matter, and will be requested to cease thei wranglings and act in accordance with the views of the State Department. =—_—_ Pricuis, the Land League accountant, fainted in the streets of Dublin a few days ago, and it is thought that documents were then found in his possession which revealed much of the operations of the League, and which led directly to his own arrest and the arrest of Maloney, a Dublin merchant, who is charged with circulating’ the ““No-Rent” “manifesto. Mangan, one of the suspects, has been elected Mayor of Drosheda, de- feating the. Whig candidate. The signifi- cance of the election arises largely from the foct that the member of Parhament from Droglieda is a Gladstonian Liberal. ‘Tue recent decision with regard to patents in the process of canning food will un- donbtedly aid in extending that useful branch of industry. It is already so large that few people have any idea of its magni- tude. It now promises ‘to extend till it em- braces about every potable article in the civilized world. With regard to meats, which were the especial point at issue in the suit above referred to, it does not appear that they will be materially cheapened as a consequence of the decision. There was al- ready so much, competition in the business as to have reduced profits to so small a figure that canning meats did not pay unless con- ducted ona large seale, though rather poor materia) is generally used.” By this we do not mean meats deteriorated by disease before death or neglect afterwards; but that the flesh of poor stock, as Texas cows, etc., has been most freely drawn upon. The beef meats canned during the cool months are, 28 a tule, the best, because canners are then obliged to fall back on native stock. - Henco any improvement that may be noted now, 2s compared with the product of last stummer, should not be too readily aseribed to the throwing open of canning “rights” to all the world. Still, it is just possible that an improvement in quality may result, as pack- ers will now know that the salable character of their goods will Jargely depend on the pro- tection afforded by a reputation in regard to quality. ——_—— ‘Tne Mahone inovement has broken out in South Carolina, and it promises soon {8 be- come epidemic. Judge J. T. Mackey has the honor of leading the way. “He was until 1876 a Republican, but joined the Democratic party In the campaign which resulted in the election of Ilampton as Governor, and was himself made a State Judge by the Legisla- ture. His term will shortly expire. Ina speech.at Georgetown, S.C., recently, being called out evidently for a purpose, Judge Mackey said that the colored men were en- titled to a larger representation in the State Legislature, and that the old party lines should be blotted out. “As long,? said Judge Mackey, “as the race issue is injected into political campaigns and the draw- ing of party lines continues, making. it almost criminal for men to “ex- press their volitical sentiments, just so long will Northern 1 and Northern capital shun the sofl of South Carolina.” Tle desired to see, so far as State issues were concerned, “party lines done away with and political strifes and dissensions ended”; and he wanted to see the day “when -any man, black or white, Northerner ot South- erner, could come into the State and express his sentiments without the apprehension of Seartopersonorproperty.” Judge Mackey’s speech might not have been remarkable in itself but for the fact that it was followed by, similar utterances on the part of represent- ative white Democrats—the Intendant of the ‘Town, an ex-School Commissioner who had been notorious as a bulldozer, a State Sena- tor, a Representative, and other local politi= cians, all white and men of standing in the community. It is evident that the Mahone ‘plan is to have a fair trial, at least, in South Carolina. Ir Guiteau is’ insane, there is much “metho in his madness.” In iis speech to the jury on Friday he shed some light upon the motives which urged him onto his tragic work, Guiteau Jaid’some claims to consid- eration as a politician. In his political opin- ions he wasa Stalwart priof to the election. | Vow much the Stalwarts did towards carry- ing the election is not 2 matter of im- portance in this connection, but Gui- teau evidently believea he had done enough to entitle him to some compensation, and that the Consulate at Paris would be a fair equiv- alent for his services. Unfortunately for his yYaluation, neither the President nor Mr. Blaine considered his services of any nc- count whatever, and refused to entertain his proposition or to reward hin in any manner. Thereupon he turned to the Stalwart organs, such as the Brooklyn Eagle, the New York Commercial Advertiser, the Conkling organs in New York, and his favorit paper in Chi- cago which he was so eager to purchase, to see what-they thought of the manner in which Stalwarts were treated, and he found that they were about as mad as he was. To use his own words: Lust spring certain newspapers in New York and Washington. were bitterly denouncing the President for breaking up the Republican party. by improper appointments. I would like those newspapers to reprint those editorials now, aud sve how they would louk and sound. In attempt- ing 10 remove the President L only did what tho papers sald ougbt to pe done, Since July 2 thoy ave been deifying the President and denoun- cing me for doing the very thing they said ought to be done, I want the newspupers and ductors, who notuuily killed the President, to shure with me the odium of nis death. I never would-nave shot bim of my own volition, notwithstanding those newspapers, if I had not been commis- sioned by the Deity to do the deed. But this fact dues not relieve the newspupers from the sup- posed disrruce of the President's removal. If be had been properly treated he would have been alive tuday. =e Of course the Stalwart papers which Gui- teau consulted will offset his testimony with the plea that they are not responsible for the acts of an Insane man, but all the same the insane man takes a shrewd view of things, MristRr Wurnnot’s capacity for getting himself into a hobble cannot be regarded ns anything Jess than phenomenal. He was sent te Peru for a purpose, and we do not understand that the irritation of Chili was a apart of it, His instructions were to pour balm ‘into the wounds of Peru, but he was hot expected to anoint the bruises of Chili with vinegar. Yet he carried himself from the start as an umpire between the two na- tions, end apparently - regarded his functions as similar in kind, if not in degree, to those of a divine legate of tne Homeric period. If there is any incongruity or anachronism in this conception ‘of his mission the fauit is his. Ge wasabrupt, imperative, and antique inthe plainnessof hisspeech. He would have things his own way and not otherwise, and was so peremptory in Ins tone that the Chili- an commander had nothing to do but-sup- press this peaceful emissary orbesuppressed himself... Naturally he chose the former course. If anything could be more ridic- ulous than Mr. Hurlbut’s excess of. zeal, Gen. Kilpatrick’s oflicious haste to correct him for the benefit of the. South American public was so. The spectacle of two United States Ministers growling about their: in- structions and each giving the lie to the other is simply.scandalous. It should result in the immediate recall of both. For tha rest, the threat of violence against the United States on the part.of Chill is quite as ridic- ulous as auy other of the blusterings elicited by these juvenile diplomatic’ negotiations. Chili might be able, a3 one zealous, cor respondent says, to- burn San > Fran- cisco. in a fortnight, but she would think twice before inviting the reprisals that such an act would surely cause. One hos- tile gun fired by Chili at San Francisco,. or any other United Sfates port, would invite for the South American Republic a fate in ‘comparison with which that of Peru would be fortunate. _* st STREETS THAT SHOULD BE PAVED. Less than a week ago the people of Chicago were wallowing in mire. There was mud everywhere. The pedestrian on the side walk was’ spattered with mud from the passing vehicles. The street-crossines were lost to sight under the accumulation of filth. It was not possible to step from a street-car without plunging into mud up to the ankles. Driving:was very much like taking a mud- bath. Yet yesterday, after a short eold spell, followed by asomewhat high wind, all the mud had been converted into dust, which filled the eyes, throat, and nostrils of every- body who was on the street. This Chicago dust has a peculiar power of penetration and adhesion. It makes its way through closed windows and settles down upon garments, goods, furniture, curtains, carpets, and books. Itdetiles everything ittouches. It is no respecter of person or property. Itleaves ablotch on the fairest of faces. It defies goggles. It compels people to regret the mud which was but lately lamented, In one word, Chicago is constantly afllict- ed .with a succession of mud and dust, and each in turn seems to be more try- They live in éloister: They associate with the elect only. ‘fhey keep. aloof from the world,-s if contact with it were contaminat- ing. They have little care for or knowledge of secular affairs, and as the daily press must deal with secular. things from the secular point the clergy fhérefore, as & whole, have little sympathy yith {t, for it does not de- vote itself to teachug what is in their books. Not all the clergy, however, entertain this feeling towards the daily papers. Among such is the Rev. DrjHenry W. Bellows, pas- tor of All Saints’ Church, New York, who in his Thanksgiving sermon last Thursday said: The newspnper—the universal literature of our people—is itself becoming a library of knowledge and art. Noman could read habit- ually even one of our-ehict newspapers without an iinmense opening of his horizon of thought, f great quickening of his intellect, aad a sub- stantial relation with tho-thought und feeling-of the whole world. ‘The difference between a man who cun read well enouxh to enjoy his new paper and one who cannot is hardly to be esti- mated, -£ suppose our uewspaper education 1s tho most Intluential of all in this country. But it depends for itsexistence und its improvement on the preparation for its us¢ and enjoyment made {nour common schools. It rises in tone, spreads in intellectual brendth, and increases in mort purity us the reading class becomes more nu~ merous and varied. it-is a. great mistake to speak lightly of newspapers. The press, I think, bas 2 yomewhat rountic and exaggerated iden of its supremacy in creating or leading public opinion, but in its general educating intluence, its stimulus for thought, it has « certzin tenden cy to create x taste for better reading than it can itself supply. Ido not believe it is eusy to over- rate its National importance. If more ininisters With this view of the province and performances of the dail; press existed it would be better for them, for they woitld find if they only divested themselves of their prejudices that It is one of theirmost, powerful allies, and that even in spite of their aversion it is doing missionary work ing and exasperating than tho other. This condition of things will ast just as long as only a Tew of our streets are properly im- proved, and the mud and dust are dragged from Wie unimproved streets to the paved thoroughfares. ‘ This is. a matter to which the Commo Council must give. its attention without further delay. Our City Fathers can find no exense for neglecting it any longer. They are now paid for the services which they are supposed to render the community, The sum ot $8 asession is not princely remuneration, butit is enough to enable the Aldermen, who are usually engaged in some other business, to steer clear of jobs and give their honest attention to the most obvious requirements of public health and comfort. Chicago as a city is no longer in its swaddling clothes. ‘It is not becoming in this overgrown child to wander about half naked, or . wearing a dirty apron. It is time that Chicago, with a population of more than half a million, and business and enterprise far be- yond that figure, should be provided with the decencies and conveniences of city life. It will cost some money to make the changes necessary to a high-toned metropolitan career, but the money will be well expended and bringin ample returns. The improve- ments cannot longer be delayed without re- tarding the growth and impairing the pros- perity of the city. It will be unprofitable to permit Chicago to gain a reputation asa place to make money. which should be taken somewhere else forenjoyment. We have all the attributes of a metropolis except good streets, and it is time these were provided. The Common Council should lay out at oncea comprehensive scheme of street im- provements. It should start out with the conviction that it is essential to the continued growth and prosperity of this city that every thoroughfare, every cross-street, and every alley. lying within the district bounded by the lake on the east, Halsted street on the west, Twenty-second street on the south, and Chicago avenue on the north should’ be paved: as soon as possible in keepmeg with the kind and extent of the travel. Ordinances should be passed to provide for such im- provements. ‘They should be passed now in order that the improvements may be begun early in the spring and prosecuted vigorous- ly to the end. There should be no onrissions or exceptions. ‘The pavements should not-be uniform, but governed by the character of the streets, On the streets devoted to whole- sale business, warehouses, railway depots, docks, and heavy teoming the paving “should be of stone blocks. 1t must come to this sooner or Jater, and the sooner the stone- block pavement is accepted for the streets used constantly by trucksand heavy teaming the more economical it will be for. the prop- erty-owners who bear the cost of the fin- provement. On the main thoroughfares where there is an average of heavy team- ing and light. vehicles. the cedar block pavement, properly and honestly put down, is the most desirable. The cross-streets, devoted almost eutirely to residences and traveled but little, may be made of macadam or broken stone with a top-dressing of gravel. There wust be judgment and discrimination in determining the kind or pavement for the different streets, but pavements of ‘some kind should be ordered for all of them. ‘Chere could be no more favorable time than the present for beginning the general system of strevt improvements which we recommend so strongly. Chicago will not be able to endure the present streets longer than next spring; the break-up after winter will make them well nigh impassable.” The owners of property are now in excellent con- dition, as a rule, to bear the cost of the pro- posed improvements. Business “has been netive atid -profits good during the past two. years; the salaried and wage .classes generally are. receiving more pay; the operators in real estate have real- ized sufficient on the rise in property to be prepared for some outlay: Moreover, the expenditure of every dollar per front foot for paving will add at least $10 per foot to the value of the property thus improved. Rents will be better and firmer by reason of the improved conditious of the streets. But no partial policy will. succeed or serve the end in view. It is necessary that all the streets within the district we have described shall be put into first-class condition. If half of them, or even a few of them here and there, be permitted to remain elongated mudholes, there will be no escape from the curse of alternate mud and dust. It will never be possible to keep the streets of Chi- eago half-way clean so long as dirt is con- stantly being dragged upon the paved streets from those which remain unpaved. What Alderman wiil take'the tead in this project and bring it before the Council with a determination to command prompt atten- tion? ‘There is a future for such a man in this city. THE CLERGY AND THE DAILY PRESS. Itis quite a notorious fact that the clergy asa rule are not overfriendly to the daily press. They criticise the manner in which the press is conducted, though whenever they have made the attempt to establish a daily paper in any city devoted to news and dogma combined the result has been a dis- mal failure, They criticise the contents of the daily papers from the pulpit standpoint, holding that they ought to contain only what is palatable to cler'eal readers, as if no other class of people read the papers. They com- plain that the editors of daily papers are not godly enough, and sneer at them as persous deficient in sanctitication, which is probably true. Unquestionably some of'this disiike of the press grows out ot their non- for them all the time in enligittenmns people, in _ presenting to them an immense va- in riety of useful religious reading, cheapening knowledge, and in present- ing to them the opinions and — find- ings of great scholars in the religious as well as the intellectual world. Not only this, but they would.find it of yalue to them- selves in making them better acquainted with the great public, and better able to grapple with the evil in the world. The coldness is all on one side, The press is not hostile tg the clergy; on the contrary it is friendly, and the proof of it may be found in the large space it devotes to aid them and to help their work ad to the general progress of true religion throughout the world. By coming into closer end more friendly rela- tions to the press, the spheres of influence of the clergy would be greatly increased end the burden of their Jabor. would be much lessened. MORE POLICEMEN—AN INCREASE OF SALOON LICENSES. Tur TrrBune again appeals to the Mayor and City Couneil to interpose their authority and increase the police forec of the city. The population of Chicago has increased 12 per cent since the census of June, 1880, and the police force of the city has not been in- creased for years. The whole force in 186 was 5138, in 188081 it was 583. This ingludes rank and file, from Suporiutendent down to stationkeeper. It includes all the men em- ployed at street-crossings, at all the station- houses, at all the- bridges and depots aid other public places, and these and the officers beiug withdrawn, the remainder is divided into three forces, which are on duty alter- nately as patrolmen. ‘The districts have become so large that it is impossible for an officer to get over. half of them during his time on duty; and the men are so far distant from assistance that it is no longor safe for a patrolman to go alone through many of the districts. It ts no longer safe-for pedestrians to traverse the strects at night; men are knocked down anywhere on the West Side between the river and Union Park, and persons in the South Division are habitualy pillaged, while North Clark street is hardly any safer than Bileravenue. Gangs of rufflans are to be found in all parts of the city. who treat with contempt the weak ef- forts of the inadequate police force, and the daring patrolman who tries to do. his duty is unhiesitatingly shot down, and the as- snsins invariably eseape. It is a com- mon everyday occurrence for. Iadies to be ‘assaulted on the streets, and ‘their pocketbooks or satchels forcibly taken from them. All this immunity to crime the direct and imuiediate result of the weakni of the police foree. An active force of 150 men on-duty at atime is utterly inadequate for the protection of life and property in a city of the wide area and population of Chi- cago. . Chicazo wants now, today, and at all times, at least 200 additional policemen, and. éven a greater number than that could find dili- gent employment. No person knows this better than Mayor Tlarrison, Chief Mc- Garigle, and the members of the Citizens’ As- sociation, Every taxpayer and every reputable citizen is aware of the deficiency, and this Jamentuble stato of aifairs is also thoroughly known and appreciated by the gangs of murderous thieves and burglars who make this city their headquarters, ‘The only rational excuse given for this neg- lect of duty by the Council and Mayor is tho want of money—an insufficiency of revenue to meet the increase of expenditure. ‘Tue 'TnmuNeE has repeatedly shown that this insufficiency of revenue is wholly due to the unwillingness to collect it, and toa moral cowardice that is wholly unpardonable. The revenue is available if the Mayor and Coun- cil will impose the. duty of collecting it. There are 3,500 saloons ‘in the city; these pay a license of a year, an aggregate of about $152,000. ‘This license fee was fixed in Bt more than twen' years ago, and when the city had about 65,000 population, or that of one or two wards at present. This small license rate has never since been in- creased, though the population and liquor business of the city have doubled several times. At that time the fees from saloon licenses were nearly if not quite equal to the cost of maintaining a police force. Itis now wholly insufficient to pay one-half the cost of the present force. It is universally conceded that the saloon- Neense rate in this city is wholly dispro- portioned .to the privileges and the business enjoyed by the saloonkeepers. The majority of the saloonkeepers admit this, and will gladly codperate with the Mayor and Council in increasing the rates. Tur Tripcne has urged the Council-to discriminate between the classes of licenses issued to retallers of liquor, and nas proposed that these licenses be fixed at the following rates: L Licenses for the exclusive sale of beer, wine, and cigars, Bar 2. Licenses for the sale of tobacco and all kinds of liquor, in- cluding beer, $200.. This change of license rates would probably have the effect of re- ducing the numbiér of Heensed establish- ments to 3,000, and the revenue trom which would be proportioned about ‘as follows: 1,500 beer licenses, $150,000; 1,500 other licenses, $300,000; or a total of $450,000, an inereasé of $270,000, and an increase equal to the pay of 250 additional patrolmen with their proper ofticers, Itis a mistake to as- snine that this. increase of rates of license would permanently drive any great propor- thon “of the saloonkeepers out of the busi- uess. We haye allowed for the withdrawal of one-seventh, but that would only be tempo- association with the world, and con- sequent unsympathy with. its feelings and needs, Many. of. the. clergy. run | rary. The profits of’ the business are simply enormous, they averaging from 80 to 200 per cent. No man now doing a good business of a license fee of $2 This inerease of rates is demanded of. the City Council for various reasons. . The city is very inadequately defended for the want of more‘policemen, An increase of license rates is the only practicable means whereby the city can obtain. the revenue with which to hire and pay the sorely-neaded additional policemen. ‘Three-fourths of the saloon- keepers will themselves sustain and support the increase in license rates. E The entire population, men, women, and children, not belonging to the criminal classes or engaged in the saloon business, pprove and applaud the change, ery taxpayer and property-owner, and every citizen Interested in the protection of life and in the preservation of peace and or- der in the city will approve the increase. Fifty thousand persons residing in the dis- tricts where a policeman hardly ever is able to reach -will applaud it, and 400,000 other persons residing in all other parts of the city will cordially thank the Mayor and Council for such a measure. Mayor Harrison has shown himself to be in many things a man. of courage. Ie has claimed. to have the nerve to do anything which he considers right and necessary. He ean furnish the additional police only after obtaining additional revenue, and he can only obtain that needed revenue by an in- crease of the rate of saloon licenses. With nine-tenths of the people of tne city—of both parties and of ail parties—appealing to him for this measure, will he not again show his courage by defying the demagogs who may threaten him with the saloonkeepers’ re- yenge 2? Tle need fear nothing of. the kind: If opposed hereafter for such'a measure, the whole publie will rally to his support, with- Tho Rev. Hoggs and tho Rev.

Review in reply to * Mr. Atkinson on tho Solid South,” wo fully realize’ thut there is one man In. the world who does not know that slavery has been abolished in the United States, and that that man is the Rev. Boggs. The Rev. Boggs’ paper, iga beautiful paper on the veuuttes of human bouduge. He speaks of, tho slavery ré- zime a3 “the golden period ot American bis- tory,” and boasts of Clay, aud Marshall, and Pat- rick Henry, and the other great men of the South a3 products of the peculiar institution. Ue declares that under the slavery régime pov- erty was an honor, and quotes from Mr, Justice Huskell,of the Supreme Court of South Caro- lina, to prove that the Southern college student “who pitid his buurding bills and tuition by ring- inx tho bell was always selected for his known worth.” If President~ Lin- coin had been made acquainted with this: fact he would probably bave hesitated jong before Issuing bis Emuncipadon Proclama- tion. Why, alas! way did not tho Rev. Boggs inform Mr. Lincoln that the Northern college. student who puid nis boarding bill und tuition by ringing the bell was always selected, not “ for his known worth,” as at the South, but merely because it was presumed that he would attend well to the duty of ringing the bell? But the chief beauty ot the Rev. Boggs’ de- fense of slavery consists in the fact that he de- feuds it out of the mouths of New England stutesmen and divines. He says nothing about Mr. Webster's reply to Hayne, but quotes lib- erally from his famous 7th of March speech, re- marking cnsually in passing that that speech is “ generally considered the masterpiece of Mr. Webster's life.” If the institution of slavery had .been preserved in consequence of Mr. Webster's speech on the {th of March, 1852, it might well have been considered bis “ masterplece.”” But that speech buving ruined Mr. Webster's political prospects forever, and the institution of slavery. having subsequently perished, it seems to be stretching tho point to assume its masterpiccesnip. But, assuming that the Rey. Boggs docs not know that sluvery bas been abolished, bis theory that Mr. Webster's fame rests upon his. 7th of March speech becomes ravopal. Indeed, it is plain from the entire paper that the Rev. Boggs. thinks the institution of slavery In the South is still on triul, and that it is his duty to show that on the whole it ia better for mankind than free- dom. He admits that on the subject of inven- tlons tho North is in advance of the South, but gets in a good counter ‘to the claim that the North is: entitled of merit on that head by the assertion that “‘tho South gave to the Nurth the chief inventor of agricultural machinery—Mr. Cyrus.H. Me- Cormick of Chicago.” ,Of course everybody but the Itev. Boges knows that Mr. McCormick didn’t invent his reaper, but of what consc- quence is that? He owns it, and he was boro in Virginin, where, it seems, be didn't care.to live | with the institution of slavery. ‘The Rev. Bomgs proves that ostracism was never practiced at the South by culling to the witness-stand a“ biessed old man” of the name of Warner—Judge Hiram Warner, “a noble son of Massachusetts, who for about half a centu- ry wore the judicial ermine (in Georgia) without spot or smircb.” ‘Fixing bis luminous eyes” on the Rev. Boggs, the “blessed old man” re- futed the charge that “men of influence at the South were unfriendly to poor young men of merit.” “1 was a poor young mun of merit from New England,” exclaimed the blessed oid man 235, vith bis luminous eyes upon the Rev. Boggs. ne to Georgia with only 45 cents in wy pocket,” added the biessed old man with luminous eyes, and the men of Georgia ‘took me by the hand” and“ seut inc tothe Legislature ~the youngest man in that body": tacy made me Judge of the Superior Court—" the youngest man ou the bench.” * And 1 was not the man to suppress nu honest conviction because it did not find favor with others. Ostracism indeed,” con- cluded the blessed old man.“ Lam a tuminous- eved example of Southern liberality and tolera- tion during the goldea period of the slavery régime.” ‘The Rey. Boggs introduces Mr. Lunt, of Boston, to prove that slavery elevated the African race, who cites Mrs. Stowe’s Uncle Tom "—*u civil- ized nan and a noble Christin, us.a breathing evidence that shivery in the South bas dune won- ders for the negro.” “We have made Christians of tho slaves—bulf a million at least,” exciuims the Rov. Boggs, “and thus more heathens havo been Christianized jn the South than..by all the missionary efforts of the Protestant wor'd elsc- where.” He might nave added: “And we have bleached their skins as well as their souls"; but this be indignantly denies. Mr. Lunt isa mao after tho Itev. Boggs’ own benrt. He quotes him assaying: “Thay [the negroes}'are » bappy, enreless, unreflecting, good-natured race, wno, left to themselves, would degenerate, into drones or brutes.” . * Compared with! the ngue- smitten and suffering settlera, that you and have seen in Obfo,or the sickly and starved operatives we rena of in factories and mines, those Southern slaves ore indeed to be envied.” “In short,” concludes Mr. Lunt, * these ‘ni; gers’ are tho happiest people I have ever seen.” The Kev. Boggs, however, reserves bis “biggest” gun for a last shot at the enemy—Dr. Nehemiah Adams, of Boston. Dr. Adams was a devotional writer and scholarly preacher of f kindred spirit. with Jonathun Edwards,” “who,” tho Kev. Boggs remiuds Mr. Atkinson, “bids fair to ve when we are forgotten.” The Rev. Adams embodied his views of the charms and beauties of slavery in “a Nttle volume” published. In 1954. .From this “litte volume” the Itev. Boggs selects a tot of gems which tend to elevate tho Rey. Adams to un immortality of fame, and to-prove conclusively to the mind of tho Rev. Boggs that slavery nover, never ought to have been abolished. The: itev. Nehemiah’s pious soul was Miled with gloomy furebodings ut tho thought of wit- nessing the horrors of slavery us ho approuched tho Sunny South; for be had been an opponent of giavery,.and bis. heart was corrupted by “Northern fancies and feclings” on the subject. What was bia. eurprise. and de- Nght to find “the persons held to serv- ice or labor’? in” the South ‘fall in good ,bumor, and some of them in abroad laugh." A reat burden*was lifted from the sout of Nebe- miah, and ina sort of rapture be exclaima: A better looking, Lappier, more’ courteous ‘set of people J had never scen than those colored men, women, and children whom I met the {rst few days ot my stuy at Savannah.” * What acon- trust,” the good, pious Nehemiah said to himself, “to that troop at the Albany landing, on cur Western raiiroad, and on those piles of boards, to everything + in New York!” As the Rev. Adams procecded, he grew more and more delighted. “Timidity.a feeling of necessity, tho leer of obliged defer- ence I nowhere saw: but’ the artless, free, and eusy manner which burdened spirits never wear. How such unaifected politeness could have been learned under the lash I could not understand. Jt contlicted with my notions of slavery. [ could not have dreamed that these people had beer’ *down-trodden,’ * their very “manhood erushed out of them,’ the galling yoke of slavery bresking every humen feeling and re- ucing them to the level of brutes.’” The Rey.. Nehemiah had not heard the word Not a word had been aaid to him about He saw so much pence, content, and happiness that he pitied everybody on earth but the Southern slave.. Hear him: ‘To see slaves in broadcloth suits, well-ftting and nicely-ironed fine shirts, polished boots, gloves, umbrellas for eunshudes, the best of hats, thelr young men with thelr blue coats and bright buttons, in the latest style, white Marseilles veats, white panta- loons, brooches in thelr shirt-bosoms, gold chains, eleyant sticks, and some old men lean- ing on their ivory and allver beaded staves, as respectable in thefr attire as any who ‘that day went to the house of God, was more than I was prepared to sec.” With what gusto the Rev. Borgs quotes the Rey. Nehemiah. It is to be regretted that the Mussacbusetts man of God had not described the musters of these dandy slaves in the act of ironing those “well-fitting tine shirts,” or pol- Jabing their boots, or brushing the nap of those “best of buts” the right way. 'Thig would btive completed the picture of equality. between. master and slave. We bez pardou of the Rev. Boggs and the Rey. Nehe- minh for alluding to the colored peuple “ held to service’’-ns slaves. After the Rev. Nehemind bad seen them in “ broadcloth suits,” etc.. ne could not call them slaves: “ But [was soon unnble to use the word myself in conversation after secing them in Sabbath dress, and as my hearers, and in families, thelr appearance and condition inso gfeat a proportion making the idea counceted with the word slaves incourpit- ible with the impressions received from them. The Rey. Nehemiah tound the femule slaves less addicted in dress * to tawdriness of color, to violations of taste,” than the common people at the free North, This, however, he geuer- ously expluing by suymg that each. sluve womun, “has a mistress, a matron, or young Indy to advise and direct her, and to be responsible in the community for her good appearance.” The godly Nehemiah found the ditference between “ plantation bands and city slaves only superticial.” He admits, however, that “life on’ the cotton pluotations is, in gen- eral, 88 severe with the colored people us azri- cultural life at the Nort! ut be adds with unction and with pity for freemen: “I have spent suumers on farms, however, where the owners und their hands excited my sympathy by, toils to which the sinves on many plantations are strangers.” ‘The yeracious Nehemiah found that in Georgia, under the sluvery rézime, it was “much safer to kill a white man than a negro,” which proves how terribly the negro has suffered in the act of emunctpation, for it is unlversally edimitted that under the régime of freedom it is much safer In Georgia to kill a negro thana white man. All this twaddle,and much more, from the forgotten little volume of the Rev. Adams, tha Rev. Boggs prints over bis own signature In tne International Review, und closes his paper with diametrically opposed declurations—namely: (1) The dechuration of the absolute justice of tho cause of the Confederacy, and (2) the declaration that “we have taken our places in the Union with an honest purpose to do our whole duty.” It would seem that the International Review. might have made better use of its space than to devote it to a comparison between slavery and frecdom with an evident attempt to show the advantages of slavery. Pink-Eye Among tho Pocts. The public generally is aware of the fact that ut present there is prevailing amonz the horses of this country a disease known as“ pink- eye,” the prominent symptoms of which are 1o33 of spirits, disinclination to do anything requir- ing bodily exertion, and ageneral desire to go somewhere and dic. With proper treatment and careful nursing, animals thus. afilicted may be restored to health, although they are fre- quently lett in a condition which only monthsof rest will change. - From present appearances it would seem that some maiedy akin to plok-eye is beginning to pursue its debilitating way among the pects -of this country, and especially those whose glittering -zems of fancy are first exposed to public view in tho columns of {ne TrincNe. It is customary in this office to devote a considerable awount of space ity Saturday’s paper to the me‘ticat lucu- brations of several of the most gifted members of our verse-muking staf, and in yesterday's is- sue there appeared Siforts of a more or less po- etical nature from four of our best-known lady songsters: Miss Fanny Driscoll, Miss Ella Wheeler, Misa Carlotta Perry, and Mrs. M. E. Harmon. Inspite of the fuct that the golden haze of Indian summer now rests lizbtly upon the earth, that potatoes and flour have recently declined sensibly in price, and that tho outlook foracold winter, thereby insuring an abun- dance: of oyster suppers, was never better, every one of these ladies seems to be afilicted with a morbid melancholy that refuses to see the glad sunlight, the merry days of the ~approaching Christmas- tide, or the beautiful display of scalskin sacques and fur-lined dolmansin shop windows. | They droop, they are depressed in spirits, and when they attempt to whoop up the Muse for the benefitof Tne Trisus. readers the old lady deelines to give forth anything but senti- ments of. the mostlugubrious description, and tho result is that our renders ure treated to a succession of soul songs that would move the stouiest heart. There is nu doubt of it; our poets are aifiicted with a mental pink-eye, and they are badly off their reed. Miss Driscoll, for instance, who lives amid the tumultuous scenes of that gay metrop- olis, Milwaukee, . relates im six © stanza3 the mournful fact that sho is at pres- ent in 2 condition of extremo -melancholy, and wrapped in 2 gioom, beside which that io which Mr. Beecher, of Brooklyn, enveloped himself wasa marvel of dazzling light. After relating that her eyes have grown tired and her heart assumed a frigidity which, if transferred to the outside world, would insure good skating ali winter, she desires to know What fa there left. when the rose’s red Looks patiid and aull to the vision? When wine bas no sparkle, and mirth bas fed, And love's kisses Warm me 50 more than the end — : Love that was once clysinn? If this young lady only knew it, there isa good deal left, cven after the chilly blasts of November have made the rose's red look pallid, If the wine bas lust its sparkle the only true ‘course isto open a fresh bottle. Further along in her poem Miss Driscoll remarks that Abt Lum weary of all of life, Nothing can warm me or thrill ine; Tshrink away from the jarring strife, From the Autumn gardens with thistles rife— Gods, now is the time to Kill me! ‘This is certainly a sad stute of affairs, iftrue, and, while her shrinking away from the Autumn gardens with thistles rife is undoubtedly a most exemplary course for all persons to pursue who do not wish to subseavently devote some time to removing burrs from their clothing, the re- quest tothe gods to make arrangements of n mortuary character on ber accouut is exceed- inglyjill-timed. The mythological gentlemen appealed to, if thoy have any existence at all, are busy just now putting In the winter's supply of coal or performing suine other seasonable act, and have to time to stop and kill people tn Wis- consin.

Tr is unnecessary to refer atlength to the tear dedimmed efforts of Miss Perry and Mrs. Harmon, The painful fuct that our poets are suffering from ennul, or cbilblains, or unrequited affec- tion, Is too plain to need elucidation... But when the snows of winter have gone and the daffodils and dulsies begin to sprout, the sweet sincers of Wisconsin will tane their lyres onan entirely different key, and twang merrily of the red- breasted robins and the bloated cucumber. ——— + A spEcK in the ocean only is Pitcairn Island, or the “Iste of Content,” as it is xptly called.

LB. Penslee, in “ Education,” ‘is de voted to this one subject than to reading, writ- ing, spelling, geography, and grammar com- bined; none to literature and composition. And whut is true of the schools of Obio in this re- spect is true of those ot most, nt least, of the other States. Let the teachers of: these schools cut down the time given to this subject to with- in the bouads of reason; introduce composi- ton, letter-writing, and business forms; let them stop working puzzles in mathematics, which ure about as profitable ns the famous fit- teen puzzle, and turn their attention to reading, to improving themselves in literature, to acquainting themselves with the lives and writ- ings of great authors; und let them take the re- sults of that work into thelr school-rooms, and they would revolutionize the country schools of the United States.” pec Tue poetical but kind-hearted Mr. George W. Untids, ot Pnitudetphia, could not sit down to his ample Thanksgiving dinver without referring in his paper to sundry persons of nautical pro- clivities who were spending the day on an Island in the Arctic Ocean, with little prospect of being taken olf for the next six months. Said Mr. Cnilds, and very truly, too: Jt istrue that they have gone there, or some of than xt least, by choice and from love of adventure, but they ure, nevertheless, “in pitiful case.” | An Arctic expedition isa very bold undertuking under any circumstances, and requires a stout heart,even when there isa stout ship capuble of carying one back to civil- tzation at command; but, when the ship itself sails uway and a sea of ice closes between the abandoued explormg party und home, with the certainty that for months of terrible winter weather no relief can come, the bardiest of American seamen «ht be purduned if they quailed before such a prospect.
