Modern Civilization. . New York is one ‘of the most remarkable cities in the world, whether we regard the tures that mark its progress, - It comprises in its population almost all the varieties of the. human race and embraces almost every phase of modern civilization. In nothing more than in its amusements does it exhibit this extraor- dinary mixture of apparently opposite charac- »| teristics. Take for instance the case of Ristori. There never has been such a reception given to any foreign artist as this lady has had from us. Her professional success has been unpre-, less marked. In New York the’receipts at her’ performances were larger than she had ever iment toWards xe¢oguition of ttetnpor- made .in Europe, not .excepting even. her own sa yy ol legislation regarding it,. > - ie ‘Gest, eenoansed--Mormonion vat that of: the people.. When she went to the provinces it might reasonably have been ex- pectéd that there would have been somewhat ‘Téss curiosity manifested in her regard; but the reverse has been the case. In Boston, Phila- delphia, Baltimore and Washington, and even in the smaller cities, the interest attending her appearance, has been equally great. Socially no artist that has visited this country has re- ceived such general and marked attention. The most distinguished people in our city have vied with each other in .showing their appre- ciation of her genius and personal worth. Din- ners, balls, receptions “and visits ‘have been ‘erowded upon her in such profusion that they have interfered to some extent with her com- fort. Nor have these attentions been confined to the cultivated society of the metropolis. In’ all the other cities that she has visited she has heen equally overwhelmed with kindnesses. Even the President, in the midst of his official anxieties and responsibilities, found time to do her honor.

All this involves an increase of burdens upon the already overtaxed masses, and with them the increased necessity of revolutionary changes. ‘The equivocal position in which France has been placed by the mistakes of Napoleon ren- ders this augmentation ot her military estab- ‘lishment indispensable; but the question is' whether the French people will be satisfied to submit to it -very long. We believe the time is japproaching when these immense: military establishments will) work out the downfail of the dynasties based upon them and when the popular voice. will insist upon such reductions of them as will consist with ‘purely national objects. Tae Oxty Way wrra 7H8 ExcivpEp Spates.— _ The constitutional amendment adopted by Con- gress as the basis of Southern restoration has been contemptuously rejected without even a -respectful consideration of the subject by the Legislatures of the excluded States, if we are not mistaken, without a single exception. Thus, when we look at the fair and easy terms of the’ amendment, it is manifest that nothing can be done with those States so long as they are under the local authorities which now control them. They do not propose to do anything ; but they have deliberately resolved to remain out in the cold, trusting to the chapter of acci- dents to turn up something in favor of a new move for a Southern confederacy. Now, what is to be done with such intractable customers? The only way remaining to bring them to Teason and to an honest submission to the issues decided by the war is to reconstruct them from the beginning, as proposed in the bill of Mr. Stevens. In their contemptuous re- jection of the constitutional amendment, after the solemn warnings of the Jate Northern elec- tions, the States concerned have betrayed a frame of mind which it would be folly to tem- porize with any longer. THE SOUTHERN LEGISLATURES. Ciar.estox, Deo. 16, 1866. The Courier of this morning contains the report of the Legislative Committee appointed to take into considera- tion the question of the adoption or rejection of the constitutional amendment. The committee state that they have given the importarit question a careful consideration, and have come to the conclusion to re- commend to the Legislature that the awendment be not adopted. This recommendation will no doubt be acted on at once, and the amendment may therefore, so far as ar State is concerned, be considered as re- jec The Governor, it is fully agrees with the de- cision which has been at by the committee.
