to shoot shall first take outa license. This, by © master stroke of political wisdom, at once puts the would-be shooters in the same class with the liquor dealers, hack drivers, carmen, &c., and we shall see “a tail” of them out in front of the Mayor's Office some day, each one Proudly stepping up in his turn to get the warrant, certificate, commission or license from his Honor that shail authorize bim to carry a pistol, and, of course, to shoot, as the carrying a pistol implies using it, It is an excellent thing to live in an age of law. In future men may be shot in the streets, bar- rooms, public places generally, or private ones ether; but the victim in each case will have fhe grand consolation of kuowing that the man who shot him had @ certificate from the Mayor. Dont Be in a Hurry, Tammany. There are reports afloat that the backbone of Tammany has been broken by a Vesuvian eruption in the State Senale, It has been ‘sated that ten democratic Senators have swung off and hinged themselves to the repub- licansin a matter affecting Governor Hoff- man’s nominations, Anti-Tammany journals have taken the cuefrom this apparent disaf- fection and given: their whippers-in of the Albany lobby and their hireling correspondents {instructions to keep up the fire and strive to widen the rift. Now, there are but two or three things which the Tammany Regency must re- member in this connection. Oue is that it is too early for them to commence a row; an- other is that the opposition radicals are in- trinsically too weak to make much of a demon- stration in either house, and the more they fass and flutter the worse it will be for them in the end. The Tammany Regency should not be in too great a hurry. It must not be too Grasping or too exacting. The reported schism may no doubt be likened to the fire of ® skirmish line—intended to draw out the artillery of the enemy and require him to de- fine his-position. In doing this Tammany does not weaken itself, but rather gains opportunity, like a thoroughbred at the three-quarter on a four mile race, to recover breath preparatory to the struggle on the final stretch home. Briefly, it may be said that Tammany at this moment is stronger and more united than ever, and that when the time comes for it to mar- shal its forces its ranks will be found serried and‘ actuated by a common impulse—namely, to establish a democratic court in the city of Washington in 1872. It is time the ladies of the democracy of the nation had a chance of this kind. But don’t be in too much of a hurry, Tammany! Take things coolly. Ratificatio: id Ratlocination. The Chicago Tribune says the “State of New York having once ratified the amendment and transmitted the ratification to Washington her powers are exhausted, and when, including hers, the requisite number of votes of States ate obtained, we believe the President will declare the amendment ratified.” It is the opinion of some of the best legal minds in the country that the question of the adop- tion or rejection of the amendment is an open one, like a case in court, until final judgment Is rendered. The democrats of New York hold this position, and until the President by public proclamation declares the amendment to be Fatified any State can either reject or adopt It, or, even after having done one or the other, reverse its decision at wil! until action in the premises becomes manifestly futile. It is the provision authorizing Congress to enforce the Bmendment by appropriate legislation that creates the most apprehension among its oppo- Rents, It is feared this power will be stretched to an arbitrary extent, even to the appoint- ment by Congress of inspectors of elections in the several States for candidates for Presiden- Hal electors and members of Congress, which will be nothing but a restoration of the military ballot system in vogue during the war, by and through which the votes of thousands of good Union war democrats were never heard from. Furthermore, it is feared that these votes will be counted, not where they may have been polled, but under the eye of radical commit- fees of Congress, who can “‘strike” and ‘‘repeat” at will. 1t is believed that this is a part of the radical programme—indeed, it has been openly aimed in this city to be such by a leading lew England radical. Hence it is no wonder @emocrats should become aiarmed, and, whether the gmendment be finally adopted or not, to @onceive it necessary for them to warn the Gaithful of the wiles and machinations of the @nemy. The Tammany Regency are neither lazy nor asleep. \ A Fast Wrstern Srare.—Governor Mer- rill, of Iowa, in his annual addross is ‘“bewil- Wered” at the extraordinary strides the State Is making. He is ‘‘astounded” to think that “with the density of Massachusetts Iowa would have six and a half millions; with the density of France, eight and a half millions ; with that of England, sixteen anda haif millions ; and with that of Belgium, nearly nineteen mil- lions.” The Legislature had better start a State Innatic asylum at once, for there will be mo holding that Governor without a straight facket, if lowa keeps going on at the ‘‘dense” Bate his Excellency proclaims her to be. “TROTTING MATCH ON IGz.

The steamer from Rio Janeiro, which arrived at this port last night, brings intelligence of the death of this distinguished pianist on the 18th of December, alter three weeks* iliness. He was born in Louisiana, and at an early age exhibited a talent for music, in the develop- ment of which he was encouraged. His first public appearance was a success, and ever after his professional career was a series of triumphs. After perforining in the various cities of the United States Gottschalk went to Europe, and tn Paris re- ceived a perfect ovation. One of the most distin- guished musical critics io tne French capital, io reviewing lis execution, expressed We opinion that it had a finish, a neatuess, @ rapid ity quite astonishing.

NIGHT. ud Found= S. 8. Cox on the Progress of Spain ling Hospitals. ‘The Cooper Institute was last night crowded tn every purt to listen toa lecture by the Hon. 8. 5. Cox on “The Progress of Spam." The Rey. Father Starrs presided and introduced the jecturer to the Jarge and appreciative audieace, Mr. Cox lectured on behalf of the new institution for foundiings, and 1t is believed that the profits of last night's lec- ture will yield about $10,000 to tus very excellent object, ‘The lecturer prefaced kis remarks on Spain by reference to the Foundling Hospital, He said that this institution had been established next door to his house, but thas he knew notting of it until some ume after the Sisters had commenced tucir labor of love. Seeing so many Sisters going in and out he thought some one was 1ll, and 1% Was not unc he inquired that ho found he was so near a founding Hosptial, Such an institutiou had been established in the oid couatry, in Lonaon, 12u years ago. lt was Interesung and exciting to hear tie resuit of Sister Irene’s work. Since Uctober, 184 of these littie pledges haa been iefi; of these only one-tuird had died, a lower percentage than any hospital in Europe. ‘Yhese children included all ciasses aud religions and ail colors. Jt was a significant fact that more babies came than the Sisvers could care for. in speaking of Spata Mr. Cox said that ne held a ditterent opinion vo Mr, Buckle, wo in lis “sistory of Civil- iation” had said that her decay was owing to her religion and her superstition. For, ou the contrary, never had Spain been more prosperous than when sne was governed by Catholics and ail tis insucu- tious were under we direction of Catholic clergymen. He then described the domestic lute of the Spaniards, im @ very bumor ous vein, and im referring to garlic was particularly noticeable, much of & necessity as the hash to an America He described also the physical and cumatic influ- ences of Spain; ber large sea coast, indented with so many Une harbors, employiag i her coasting trade alone nearly 40,000 satlurs. As to her interior, e Spain as the Tarshish of Seripture, dence Of Spain was attributabe to her bad goverament. Alter the great King of Spawn died—Philip L.—tue throne was occupied by nobodies, with but ove excepuon. Add to this degeneracy of her kings the luxury and lazi- ness incident to the conquest and rapine of & new and precious world of coloazies. Add the unconsequential yet Costly actempis of Spain to hold them from revoit, and you need 10t consult philoso- phy to know why the mistress of the world, 1n the Hiteepth and sixteenth centuries, is now straggling to hold her grasp on her colonial pearl of the An- Ulles. In coaclusion he drew upon tue history of the various kingdoms and provinces o1 Spain to show that Spain had a history of trecdom, of free Sieros, or Magna Charias and Parliaments; that these were at last embodied in her uational Cortes. He be- heved, trom what he saw and beard in his travels, tbat the form of government in the United Staves was the favorite form of government. Ho belie Prim to be a very liberal minded man, a5 he was cer- tainly one of the democracy, for he was tue son o1 a wasnerwoman. Tbe lecturer was certainly entitied to all tne dp- plausi received, for it was @ great iiterary ana historical treat to have had the privilege of listening to It, the diet Lecture by Rev. Dr. N. BH. Schenck. ‘The last of a course of lectures was delivered lass evening in Steinway Hall, under the auspices of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, vy the Rev. Dr, Noah H. Scheuck. There was @ large and appreciative audience m atcendance. The speaker began by saying that names are words and words govern tne world. There were names at the mention of which the world grew pale, whule there were otiers that suggested everything that was pure and gvod. Events, ne said, are ofcen forgotien, but there are names that wilt live lorever. When would the names of Napoleon, Alexander, Shakspeare, Milton, and maoy, very many others be forgotten ? ‘The name of Napoleon uad raised wighty armies and won great victories. It preceded the exile from Kiba and unsheathed thousands of swords in his defence, ‘There was fo heroism so grand as the vindication of aname. Who was not desirous of & good name, and was it not tar betier toan riches? ‘1ne lecturer spoke at some length and tm a very amusing manner of the origin and meaning of many names. Cicero, tor insiance, meant, when translaied into English, mari. The name of Snoaks derived its origin trom seven oaks, He'sald there was scarcely @ bug, @ bird, a rade or @ profession that had not given its mame to map. Some names were very @ppropriate aod suggestion, as the name of Mary, which suggests all of woian’s grace and glory. Give a dog a bad name and every one was ready witha Kick. He spoke ol the peculiarity of some pevis in naming their cildren, and closed by ask- ing if person supposed he would have namea himself ‘‘Noanh” if he could have had a say about it.
