Have you ever seen the great and eternal ocean the morning after a terrific and protract- ed hurricane, the waves still swelling, boundiog, rolling and foaming mountains high, dashing with remorseless fury against the resounding rocks, or tumbling in terrific breakers along the sandy shore? It ia a sublime spectacle; bat the storm having gone by, the danger is over. And 60 it is with the Kansas agitation. After a tem- pest of wind, rain, hail, thunder and lightuing, of four years’ duration, in which many a good- ly craft has gone to the bottom, and from which not a single veasel exposed to the pitiless ele- ments has escaped without damages, more or less, the clouds have broken away, the sun shines out again, and ‘The wind le down, though still the waves run high. ‘Thus the howling, raving and shrieking of the opposition journals over the Kansas settlement effected by Congress will pass for nothing more than the pitching and tossing of the angry waves of the sea, after the tempest which has lashed them into fury has passed away. Yet a little while, and this Kansas agitation will thus sub- side like the roaring ocean into the calm repose of a summer morning. The bill which has been passed by Congress gives the coup de grace to Kansas as the control ing issue of party politics. Of course the black republican politicians and journals will move heaven and earth to influence the people of Kansas to reject this peace offering, with the delusive hope of thus reviving this exhausted sectional quarrel throughout the country; but we apprehend that they will utterly fail in their calculations. Taking into the estimate the facts, that with the acceptance of the Lecomp- ton constitution Kansas comes into the Union at once as a State; that shé thus secures at once three millions and a half of acres of the public domain; and that the free State party, with a two-thirds majority in the organic State Legislature, will thus have the power at once to send two free State Senatorsto Congress, and to provide forthwith for a new constitution—we do not believe that the Lecompton constitution will be rejected. We do not believe that the peo- ple of Kansas will cast away the solid sub- stance for the mere shadow of “popular sove- reignty.” But suppose that they do reject this land or- dinance offQongress, and that thus, with the rejection of the Lecompton, they accept the alternative of providing a new constitution, does anybody suppose that cither Congress or the administration will be bound by the restric- tions of the present law, should it be found ex- pedient to disregard them? The act of the present session requiring 93,000 population as “the condition precedent” to the formation of @ new constitution, may even at the next session be repealed; and we hazard little in saying that it will be repealed should Lecompton be rejected and a new constitution presented as the instrument of the people of Kansas under which they desire admission inte the Union. We will not beg the question by pleading that, even at the next session, Kansas may have the full ratio of people required for a new constitu- tion ; but we say that, should the adminstration deem it expedient to recommend the admission of Kansas under a new constitution, with her existing population, the thing will be done. We predict, too, that the administration will deem it expedient so to act, should Lecompton be rejected by a decisive popular vote. Thus, whether the people of Kansas accept or reject the Lecompton constitution, Kansas, for all purposes of political agitation, is done for. We think they will accept Lecompton, but their rejection of it will just as conclusively settle the whole trouble. Numerous and violent were the complaints made from various quar- ters against the Missouri compromise, but it gave peace to the country and silenced the sectional agitators for a quarter, of a century. So in 1850 the compromises of that year were met with the most violent denunciations from Northern and Southern ultras. The fire-eaters of the South attempted a sectional revolution against the admission of California; and in the North John Van Buren led off in a crusade against the Fugitive Slave law; and yet by the year 1862 the people, North and South, were so well satisfied with those peace measures of Hen- ry Clay that upon that platform they elected poor Pierce to the Presidency almost by accla- mation, over the greatest living soldier of the age. “The people of the United States are a practi- cal people, and when a great political question is settled they drop it. They do not care to waste their time in fighting mere shadows and empty abstractions. They will accept this Kansas compromise, as a eettlement requiring only the final action by the people of Kansas, yea or nay, to put it at restforever. Kansas has occupied the field long enough, and new issues connected with our foreign and domestic policy will now come into the foreground. Simultaneously the country has had to bear the pressure of the slavery excitement, a financial revulsion, and a religious revival epidemic, and now we all need repose, and we have every reason to expect it. Kansas is out of the way: the revulsion has done its worst, we are slowly recovering from ic disasters, and our religious epidemic is rapidly cooling down. So now, what with the pruning of speculators and stockjobbers, and the slaughter of politicians and the saving of sinners, and the great triumph of the administration, we may look hopefully to the future. Tue Law on Opera Hovses.—Mr. Booby Boooks is no less a booby in matters of law than of newspapers, In his legal commentary on the recent émente at the Academy of Music, he de- clares in one part of his opinion that the law laid down by Judge Russell is wrong, and yet he concedes that the decision of the Judge is right, before he closes. He pretends to refer to several cases before the courts, in which no de- cisions have been made; but he does not seem to know that decisions were made ten years ago in the courts of this city on this very question of the right of the proprietor and the public as to entrance to places of amusement. Ten years ago Judge Hoffman decided the same way as Judge Russell has done now in reference to that question. The proprietor of a place of public amurement can refuse entrance to any one, even if that person possesses a ticket, and the reme- dy of the person eo refused admission is merely an action at law for the sum paid, and dam- ages. In the affair at the Academy, on Monday night, the parties attempting to obtain entrance are clearly liable to an indictment for riot, and if the next Grand Jury do their daty faithfully to the public the whole batch of them thould be indieted, and tried before the Court of Seesions, The arrest of these parties was per- fectly legal, and their discharge by the Record. er the same night wae contrary to a statute of Mee Claw Specially provided for susa cases, | NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAY 2, 1888, There is no doubt that there has been a con- piracy in some quarters to get up a riot at the Academy, aud it ought to be the duty of the di- rectors and stockbolders to send the matter be- fore the Grand Jury, and have the first attempt of the kind brought before a court, and the at- tempted perpetrators punished. Itis ouly by carrying out the principles of law that peace can be secured to the Community, Acquirtar. or Dr, Brrwarp.—By the Borus- sia, which brings one day later news from Eu- rope, we have intelligence of the acquittal of Doctor Bernard, the Frenchman who was tried in London on @ charge of conspiring with Orsini and Pierri against the life of the Empe- ror. The reader will find elsewhere an excel- lent abetract of the eloquent speech for the de- fence delivered by the prisoner’s counsel, Mr. Edwin James. It was to the effect of this speech that the ver- dict of the jury was mainly due. The evidence was certainly very telling against the prisoner. His complicity with Rudio and the other con- spirators was very fairly made out. It was shown that he was aware of what was going on, that he purchased part of the materials used in the composition of the bombs, and that he offi- ciated as the best friend of the conspirators in England. No person, on a calm review of the evidence, can doubt but that Bernard was real- ly guilty to a greater or less degree, and de- served greater or lees punishment. Yet the jury, seemingly without difficulty, agreed to ac- quit him. They must have done so because, in their opinion, the Emperor of the French is so po- tent a usurper and so decided a tyrant that it is almost allowable to take his life. This is the English of the verdict. The jury saw before them the massacres which preceded Louis Na- poleon’s rise to power, and of which Mr. James drew a moving and vivid picture, and they came to the conclusion that, after all, Rudio and his fellow conspirators were only resorting to fair reprisals. The verdict is the most crush- ing censure that has perhaps ever been render- ed upon the Imperial system in France. Other incidental matters also had weight with the jury. The course recently pursued by the French press toward England quite justified Mr. James in telling the jury that the Emperor of France “ demanded the life of this man, or else he would make war.” To expect a verdict from an Anglo-Saxon jury under such a threat as this was of course out of the question. They would have acquitted Bernard ten times over rather than appear to be coerced imto convicting him by the warlike demonstrations of the French. The event will prove a wholesome lesson to the Emperor. Ever since the affair of the Rue Lepelletier he has acted with unusual indiscre- tion and folly. He has brought the alliance to the verge of ruin. He has done himself great injury, and raised the hopes of the crazy revo- lutionists to a pitch which they never reached before since the establishment of the empire. This last check will doubtless sober the Empe- ror’s feelings, and correct the error in which he seems to labor, with regard to the extent and scope of hie dominions. Rerormation or Crumats.—The insecurity of life and property in this city is notorious. It is the constant theme of discussion by the press, and the often recurring topic of conversation in private circles. Itis the one grand defect in our system of municipal government. We can stand Weavy taxation, plundering officials and grasping governors. We pay without a mur- mur. We only growl because we get nothing for our money. We say, justly, that that gov- ernment must be bad which allows its own offi- cers to be shot down in the public streets in the execution of their duty, without discovering and punishing the murderer. We say that there must be something wrong in those laws which cannot punish a rowdy boy that stabs to death a respectable citizen who is walking in the street with his wife on his arm. We say that when menare stabbed through the heart and thrown into the river, there should besome effort made to discover the authors of the crime. We say that the city should be freed from those organized bands of ballics and thieves, outlaw- ed from society, who in broad daylight fight out their quarrels in Broadway, surrounded by an armed guard of friends. Well, then, the public sentiment is quite una- nimous in condemning these things. The pub- lic sentiment gays it isa sin and a shame that such a state of affairs should exist, But what does the public sentiment do when it is called into the jury box? It is ingenious to find excuses for the criminal. It says he justly deserves the halter, but think how young and interesting he is. He only killed an inno- cent man, or shot a policeman, or choked to death a poor old woman. Let uskeep his case on till all the witnesses are dead or gone away, or get a new trial, or recommend him to merey. Poor child! how he suffers! Let us roll him up in rose leaves and perfume him with lavender; or, at the worst, only send him to prison for a few years, and then introduce him again to the world that has treated him so shabbily. That is the real meaning of the cant of modern phi- lanthropy. Te fact is, that though we may abuse the courts and the Judges and the laws as much as we please, the truth rémainsthe same. It is we who are alone to blame. The courte and Judges and laws are good enough. We have too much sympathy for crime: we weep too much for the criminal, and we lose sight too soon of the vie- tim. No sooner is our first horror at the crime over than we begin to sympathise with the criminal, and we are ingenious in inventing ex- cuses for him. We are not savage, not barbar- ous enough. We have not enough of that old Mosaic epirit which demanded an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We defend as well as prosecute our murderers at our own ex- pense, and thus absolutely pay people for shoot- ing us down in the streets. We do not enforce capital punishment because public sentiment is said to be against it; but, on conviction of our murderers, we incarcerate them in the State prison, where they are always sustained and soothed by the hepe of a pardon. And what are the prisons themselves? In Europe they will show you over vast castles, splendid palaces and superb chateaus. They are the residences of the magnates of the land— the brave, the wise, the good perhaps—but cer- tainly not the criminals. In the United States the State prisons and penitentiaries are the palaces. The convict ix treated in the most polite and considerate manner. He is the guest of the State during his term: he is pardoned by the Executive—popular sentiment demands it or political friends desire it—he walks forth with his civil rights restored; his health, like that of Huntington, has been improved by resi- deuce iu @ gives sauilary iusiiiuiiou, aud Le ‘ appears again in eociety pure and unsullied as a young lamb just come from the washing. Hereafter rheumatic or dyspeptic patients need not pay away money to water cure estab- lishment: let them eteal some spoons, forge bank check or shoot some one, and they can be sure of a miraculous cure without any expense whatever. Legally they may be immured in a State prison; really they will only be the in- mates of a splendid palace, where they will have the best of food, constant attendance—med- ical and otherwise—and just sufficient exercise to keep up the circulation of the blood. They will be constantly cheered with the sympathy and good wishes of the friends outside, and when they do emerge to the outer world they will receive the honors of conquerors, If they have any political influence whatever they may elect whether or not they will go to prison at all, and if they go precisely how long they will stay. FA ie a charming system; but, in all justice, it should be open to the whole public. We are quite opposed to paying for the restoration of the health of thieves and murderers. A little infusion of barbarism would neutralize this mock sentiment for criminals, and do us all a great deal of good. Tux Last Apri. Foor Story.—A noted lobby member, who in consequence of the discovery of his operations last session at Washington, was expelled the House of Representatives, haa re- cently gone to Kansas, where he is devoting his leisure to the elaboration of funny April fool’s stories. The last of these refers to a reputed Mormon renegade, named Loba. This Loba has, through the aid of our lobby member, fur- nished a full account of his trials and sufferiags to a cotemporary. Loba was a Mormon, and didn’t like it. He took one wife—“ a young woman from Bedford, England.” The “young woman” sufficed to make his home happy, and he would have no other, “though no man could obtain high station unless he had at least three.” There- fore Brigham “ ordered his private execution.” Lest this unreasonable Governor should carry out his threat, Loba with “the young woman from Bedford, England,” resolved to run for it. He started on ist April (we should think so), The snow was deep on the ground; the young woman wore breeches; Loba carried seventy- two pounds of crackers, some tea and sugar, a double barrelled gun, some powder and shot and a keen edged sword. They “journeyed over the tops of the moun- tains,” apparently jumping from crag to crag. The “nights were so cold that it was impossi- ble to sleep;” so, we preeume they kept jumping all night. At last “the young woman from Bed- ford, England,” gave way; she could walk no more; so her husband shouldered her as well as thé double barrelled gun, the biscuit, the tea and the twoedged sword. He not only marched over the mountains, but he forded creeks and had his clothes frozen to his back. All he bere stoutly. Nothing could daunt him; nothing could draw him back. We have no doubt but he met giants, and slew them; we shouldn’t wonder if he had had single combats with bears, buffaloes, panthers, eagles, and unicorns. We feelcertain that he could, if he chose, give us a thrilling account of his nocturnal meeting with forty Mormons in buckram who tried to tear away the young woman from Bedford, but were slain in the attempt by the two edged sword. If we have a complaint, in fact, it is that Mr. Loba should have concealed so many things which would have been so interesting and could not well have been less authentic than the facts he has already given to the world. Surely he could try again.

The bill as passed ig viewed as under all the circum- stances better than the original measure, because it bas ‘united the democracy in Ohio and Indiana Itis confidently believed that Kansas will giadiy accept the offer of imme. diate admission, and this will knock the bottom out of the republican platform. The seasion of Congress will scarcely close on the 7th of June. A great many members are determined to oppose the passage of the Appropriation bills, unless some general legislation is also bad. An effort will be made to abolish the preseat pian of paying members by the year, and reverting tothe old system of per diem compensa- tion, This is all for buncombe next fall, but it is not im- probable it may succeed. Mr. Herran, the Néw (ranadian Minister, called at the State Department to day to say he had recolved no des- patches by the Moses Taylor, but was still of opinion the treaty would be ratified, ‘The ratification of the Yrisarri treaty has given great satisfaction to the government. A distinguished member of the Cabinet remarked to day, that ‘‘it was but the be- ginning of a system of American policy laid down by the administration.” The British Minister expressed his ap- proval, and remarked that this treaty is similar to the one Great Britain made with Honduras. He thinks it does not interfere with the Clayton- Bulwer treaty. Those here who are interested in the Shepherd and Haly (Mosquito) grant are on the qui vive. The news of the ratification of the treaty with Nicaragua and of Kin- mey’s movements seems to have galvanized the corpse of that gigantic land speculation.

The special committee of the Councilmen that had the subject ef the expediency of locating a foundling hospital in the city of New York referred to whem, held a meeting on Friday to hear parties interested in the subject. Dra, Mort and Hauispsy spoke in favor of having a hos- pital in the city, They would not be in favor of calling it 1 foundling hospital, but an orphan's home, because of all the children who come under the care of the Ten Gevern- ore and are subsequently sent to Randall's Island, only a Proportion of ove fourth from that to one-third are found- liegs. They believe the catablishment of the hospital to be a necessity. For this year the number of children whe are under the charge of nurses paid by the city is 242, and of course the number bas increased and will continue to increase with the population of the city. Many of the children are miserably treated by the nurses who have them in charge. They are geverally persons of the poor- cot class, who receive the children becauge tho allowance of one dollar a week, Which they are patd by the city, is taken with a viow of contributing to their own support. The nurses reside, for the most part, in the Sixth ward, in places of the most wretched order. Here the children live amid lth and an unhealthy atmosphere; they have neither proper care, medics! atteadance nor nourishment, and they are too often naked or half naked. Ir, Halliday related many painfully interesting anggdotes of his owa personal observation in visits paid to the piaces through Out the city where the children are nursed. The childrén in these abodes of poverty and filth are exposed to dix eases to which they would pot fall victims, as they do now, if a hospital was established where they would be provided riy with what infants require. There is a reat dei for the adoption of children, but it would ¢ much greater, and many more would be adopted, if the children were clean, healthy and propossessing in ajpoar ance, instead of being flithy, diseased and repulsive, as tbey are at present. Dr. Revs spoke on the eubject He agreed with the other gentlemen in all they ead except about the name of the institution, which he thought should be called a founding hospital. He considered that it should bean imstitution distinct in iteelf from all others. He gave many tangible reasons for advancing this opinion. He proved that New York requires @ foundling hospital more than ‘any other city in the universe, and in addition to his other reasons for forming this opinion he stated that more in- fants under the age of one year die in this city than ali the persons who exceed that age, or in other words, that upwards of half of the numDer of deaths occurring in the city at present are amongst infanta who bave not attained the age of one year. The want of a hospital for tound- linge be believes to be one of the greatest causes of this melancholy troth The committee, after hearing al] the parties interested in the matter, adjourned, subject to the call of the Chair. Return of the Overland Matt Bspemidion. [from the St. Louis Republican, April 27.) A portion of the exploring party sent out by the Over. land Mail Compeny, for the purpose of examining the routes for the carriage of the mails from the Valley of the Mississippi to the Pacific coast, which left this city on the se January last, reached Fort Smith, Arkansas, on their return home, on the 17th inst., accompanied by four of the party which left San Francisco on the 16th of January, to examine that portion of the route from the Pacitie to the Kio Grande. They left Fl Paso on the 22d of March, thus accomplishing the distance from the Rio Grande to Fort Smith—nine hundred and thirty miles—in the short space of twenty-five days, which, we believe, is the quickest “time on record” in crovsing the Miains. The party was compored of only sight men, as followe Major George W. Wood, Jerre Tal Charles P. Cole and J. a. Lilly, of the St. Louis part, Meissen: Frank De Ryther, James ‘Swart, and Jom rield, Jr., of the San Francisco party. They with (bem ove wagon and thirteen animals, which left at Fort Smith, the party proceed in he route travelled on the return trip was different! the one passed over in goiny moiy, via the F Tanks, Los Cornudas and ths Guadalupe Vass to Pope's new crossing, the Pecos, below the mouth of Dela ware creek , thence down the Rio Picos to the ‘Emigrant Crossing ’’ thence to the Mustang Springs, the Big Springs of the Colorado, Camp Cooper, Fort Belknap and Gaines Ville to the Red River. thenve to Fort émitly, The party from San Francisco passed through the San Frencisco valicy to the San Jose valley; thence to the const range of mountains; thence by the San Joaquin river to the Tulare Valley, through Fort Yuma and Tacgon to El Paro In cronsing the Arizona territory the party took a middie route between Beale’s and the southern route, (but little travelled heretofore.) and is pronounced by them an excellent natoral road. Hoth expeditions pronounce the entire ronie trom San Francisco as perfectly practicable for staging purposes. The worst part of the whole route, #0 far we the roads Are concerned, is from the Red River to Fort Smith, through the Jndian territory. The Nesert, or Llano Petacado, the greatest impediment on the route, was crossed by them in twenty seven hours, the distance being sixty five miles. They saw no Indians, either hostile or trienaly, after leaving San Francisco, un til they arrived at I'reeton, Texas, excepting three friendly Camanches, near Camp Cooper, An ample supply of wood, water and grass is found on the route, with the ex- ception of the Leno Ratacado, which jg covered with a loxuriant growth of gramme grass. — Thoy passed Cay Pope's « Camp of the Artesian Well Expedition,” near the Rio Pecos, where he is engaged in Lente jay Well for the purpose of procuring Water on . ~~ Calo.

Rev. F. G.

The principal manifeentons which God made of himrelf, and of his covenant macy to Abrabam, were made when ho was alone, apart from lis Mumerone tamily, Isaac received that special giftot Get to him, Rebecca, when walking alone, moditating in thy Held. ‘Jacob wae retired for prayer when he wrestle: with the Angel of the covenant and obtained the blessing God revealed himaeif to Moses in the bush, when he waa in avolitary place in the desert, in Mount Horeb; aad af- terwards, when he was admitied to the closeat commanion with God which he ever enjoyed, he was alone in the fame mountain, where he continved forty days and forty nights. God held communion with thore great ots, Fiijah and Euisha, and conversed with them freely chiefly in their retirement. When Jesus Christ had the prelibations of his fature glory, it was not when ke was with the multitude, or with the twelve disciples, but when retired ina solitary place with only Peter, James and Jobn. And when John, the beloved disciple, was favored With those wonderful visions of Christ, and of bis future diepeneations towards the Church and the world, whieh are recorded in the Revelation, he was alone in the Isle of Patmos. Ido not deny that there are also instances of gront favor received by the saints when in company with othore, or that there is not much in Christian conversa tion and in socinl and public worship tending greatly to refreeh and elevate the minds of the aninte, All | alm at. by What | have sid is to show (bat trae grace, however mech it loves Christian society, in a peculiar manner de lighta in retiroment and recret communication with God. If porsens are much engaged in social religion, and but littie in the rengion of the closet, and but little moved When alone with God, there is reason to doubt the reality Of their religion.
