of African slave-traders and a perjured villain; when we have from the party journals, repub- Hoan'and democratic, a general interchange of #4lar,” “scoundrel,” “‘knave” and “public plunderer,” what can we expect from the Agnorant followers of such party leaders on ¢ither side, excited to the fighting point on election day, but scenes of disorder and violence? But the overshadowing peril in this city is in those dangerous elements of a metropolitan population which have nothing to lose and much’ to gain in carrying our elections— “peaceably if they can, but forcibly. if they must.” We may truly say, too, that when we. find the demooratio journals of this city harmonious in nothing else so much as they are in counseling « violent resistance to these new election laws of Congress, it is s bad sigo—a sign of a premeditated progratome of violence. Nor do we believe the law-abiding and law-respecting men of this community will be satisfied upon this point in reference to the Hanocence of the Wigwam short of some authori- tative manifesto from the inner temple repudi- ating the seditious teachings of our democratic city journals and advising an exemplary sub- mission to the law. Short of some such vermillion edict’ the President of the United States will only be doing his duty in holding Conveniently in reserve the army and navy of the United States on our November election day. to see that ‘‘the laws are faithfully exe- cuted.” What ssys Tammany Hall? ‘The Fine Arts in New York* City. There are many encouraging indications that our metropolitan community is acquiring & greater and more intelligent interest in the fine arts than it has ever before manifested. The numerous fine new edifices, whether temples of religion, palaces of trade, hotels or private mansions, which are rapidly trans- forming New York into one of the most aplendid modern cities attest both a growing demand for improved architecture and a growing capacity to supply the demand. Every successful. builder in New York must henceforth be an architect. The marvellous transformation of rocky wastes into a park which yields universal delight to our citizens and their children, shows to what degree the love and the faculty of landscape gardening have advanced. The Park is to be rendered still more attractive by monuments and statues. Those already adorning it and those now: being made for it will further develop the taste and talent specially evinced by Americans for sculpture. It is needless to claim decided appreciation of music and of the drama for a population which welcomes with such bearty enthusiasm a Nilsson, a Seebach and a Janauschek. Our public contributed liberally towards the building fund of the National Academy of Design. | They eagerly visit its galleries when- ever at too long intervals the Rip Van Win- kles of the Academy awake and condescend to.admit and exhibit truly admirable pictures. The crowds that daily throng 'the galleries of Kaoedler and Schaus, and other prominent pic- ture dealers, are sometimes so great, particu- larly on Saturdays; as ‘almost to suspend their regular business.. If they were to charge a small admission fee the aggregate sum col- lected wouid soon amount to what would be a haadsome contribution for the relief of the German and French wounded in the dreadful war now raging in Europe. It is ot impro- bable that one result of this ver, —_r will be to enrich largely the valuable j: collec- tions of which New York may boast. Should the rumor prove true that Gérome, Rosa Bon- hear, Meissonicr and ‘other distinguished French artists are about to visit this city their arrival would give a fresh im- pulse to the increasing interest of New Yorkers in art. That this interest is really increasing is shown by the efforts of ihe pro- gressive party in the Academy to carry out faithfully the original design of its founders by means of lectures and of practice in. life schools.’ It is also shown by the anxiety of the multiplying number of pupils at the art schools connected with the Cooper Institute to secure the best instructors and to enlarge, in- etead..of restricting, their course of studies. But perhaps, the most active agency in promot- ing what may be called a revival of art’ inte- rest in our midst is: new association of artists and lovers of art. This association, under the appropriate‘name of The Palette, numbers two hundrod members, although it was organized only one year ago. Its arrangements’ for a life school, to be opened this week, and for, regular art exhibitions and musical concerts are‘now complete. Most ‘of the members of The Palette are Germans by birth or vy origin, but itis cosmopolitan in character, and not a fow of onr most diligent and ambitious young American artists belong to it. | Thorough study and hard work are. the ,avowed. objects of this associttion, and if daly kept in view will enable it to do much for the fine arts in New York. Suwpay Evening Coxornts ar Tie GRAxp Orgea Hovse.—Sunday evening concerts have become a permanent institution in, New York, andthe public, which bas fall swing during the day for its various religious observances, can hardly complain if a certain latitude somewhat greater than that aythorized by the blue laws of Connecticut should be ullowed in the evening to those who enjoy good music, Even in Connecticut the blue laws did not pro-' hibit the lads from kicking football o1 the ' vil- lage green.or escorting the lasses home from singing sohool, A Sunday evening concert at the Grand Opera House is: no worse than one at Steinway Hall.

A Noble Charity—Laying the Corser Stene fer the Home tor Destitute Catholic Chil- bien Bosron, Oct. 16, 1870, ‘The Irish Americans in Massachusetts are prover bial for their liberaiity, generosity and their zeal in all matters connected with Catnolicusm, and this was never more strongly evinced than at the present. While they are engaged in erecting a splendid cathe- ral at @ cost of $500,000, matters of a smalier ino- ment do not escape their notice or suffer negiect. Some six years ago Bishop O'Reilly, whose diocese 13 Western Massachusetts, started tho idea of a home for destitute Catholic children, and since that time the subject has been agitated by friends of the faith until the culmination has been reached to-day in the laying of the corner stone of an edifice which will do credit not only to the sect whose money and efforts have inaugurated the movement, but to Buston and to Massachusetts. The building is to be known as the “Home for Destitute Catholic Children,” and ts located on Harrison avenue, between Stough- ton and Concord streets, and directly opposite the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Fronung on Harrison avenue the building will be 185 feet in length and will set back thirty-five feet from the street, except the central portion, which, projecting from the generat face, will, with tts porch and fight of steps, extend to the sidewalk. The facades of the building on Concord and Stoughton streets will be sixty-five feet in length, ‘The structure will te four’ stortes in height, each twelve feet igh in the clear, with # cellar under the ceutrai poruen. The latter Will be used for & bakeroom, furnace room, coal and Wood and vegetable cellar, ‘The ground floor in the central part of the buituing will contain the kitchen. and oilices. On the right of the central building Will be situated the Sisters’ refectory, boys’ piay- room, bath and wash rooms, &¢., aad ou the left the gris’ refectory, laundry, playrooms, bath and wash rooms, &¢, ‘there will ve eutrances on the front of the main building on this floor, but the principal entrance Will be on the first Noor by a filght of stone steps trom the sidewalk 10 the porch in the central portion. On-the first floor will be situated a large reception room in the central pari, and flignts of stairs at either Gnd wilt afford access to the chapel ou the floor above. here will also be a large hall Jor the accommodation of ctildten who may be left there during the day while their mothers are at work, aud on the right the Sister Supertor’s room, superintendents old coinmittees’ room, dressing rooms and boys’ schoolroom wit be located, wolle the clothes and sewing rooms, Olices and giris’ schoglroom, will be located at the leit of the central aon. Pevae chapel, to be situated in the centre of the second story, Will extend trom the front to the'rear, and wilt occupy the height ot the second and third stories, On the right of the chapel on this foor will be situated the boys’ Qurmitories, commurtty room and spare rot nd of the leit she Sisters’ dormi- tory and girls’ dormitories. The third floor will be occupied 1p the centre by the upper portion of the ¢enapel, and the end galleries will be entered from this level. ‘The remainder of the third story will be occupied by nurseries aud intirmaries, we latter being planned witn an entry, in which wil be a ven- tiiator and lantern light, and trom which the in- firmary, nurses’ room, bathrooms and scullery will be entered, so that in case cf it being used tor those attacked with contagion: diseases all communication can be cut off from the rest of the estabitshment, The architectural character ot the building will bo Gothic, the gable of tne chapel, with triplet window and niche, the belfry, with spire, and the porch, with its flignt of steps, tormmg the central and dominant feature; the angies and towérs, with ven- tUlation shafts, termimating in spiralewes, the sec- ondary features, and the general face of the struc- ture having’ buttressee at equai distances, with The chapel, with galicty, windows between them. 1s dest.ned to accommodate between 300 and 400 people. ‘The building will accommotate upwards of 200 children, in addition to those provided for day by aay. The ceremonies of laying the corner stone to-day Were of an imposing and interesting nature, and were witnessed by at least 30,000 people, who filled the ampie space in front of the building and contiguous to it. The most Notable featnre of the day was the procession, one of the most remarkable, in point numbers, ever seen In this city. Nearly ali the Irish socteties and organizations of Boston and its vicinity turned out, and these, numbering nearly three thousand, and representing about twenty-five associations, headed the Ime, which was augmented to twelve thousand or upwards by children of the various Sab- ath sebools, under'the marshalshtp of the:superin- tendents, In reference to the day and in respect Lo the requesé of the bishop tie sound of music was not heard in the streets to disturb che devotions of other denominations who were worshipping in their churches, and but few banners were displayed. Tae procession was under the direction of Daniel J. Sweeny, who acted as chief mar- shal, and had for his aids Michaci Moore, John Dugan and George Wiclose. The col- umn was formed tn three divisions—first, the adult organizations; second, the Sabpath schoois from the northern part of the city, und third, those jrom the southern portion. The several organiza- Uons and scliools wer: igned postuons according to the time of their arrtval. The procession started quite promptly, aud as the row.e Was short, no delay Was occasioned by their arrival at the Home, although some contusion was apparent in assigning positions to the Sabbath schools, and, as @ conse- quence, a countermarch was necessary to ‘complete ‘the formation of the line. When the procession nad reached the site ot tne Home a halt was made, and the chief oficer of the diverent orgauizations depusit- ed the contributious upon the corner-stone. Many of these were quite large, one society which numpered less than fifty giving a purse of $2,0y0, When the procession had passed the contri- bation box was locked, aud will be opened on the evening of October 24, when in Music Hall the soclety and the Sabbath senool donating most Jargely Will be awarded a silken banner, ‘Tne exercises at the corner stone were very in- teresting and included music of a high order, pre- pared under the direction of Professor John Falk- enstein, and was performed by thirty selected in- struments, one thousand trained children and a picked choir of thirty voices. The five ims of the oltice were chaunted by the clergy, led by Rev. Sherwood Heely. After a voluntary aod a hymn of invocation, the Right Rev.

The Causes of Seerctary Cox’s Resignua- tion—Cameron’s and Chandler’s In- fivence . with the Acministra- tion—The —Irrepresstble Darkey Again. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16, 1870, Causes of Secretary Cox’s Resiguation— Cameron and Chandler Running the Gov- ernment. ‘The despatch which I sent you last Friday about the resignation of Secretary Cox and the causes therein stated have been fully confirmed since by very positive information obtained from a source entirely reliable. The withdrawal of Mr. Cox is un- doubtediy. due to the influence of the Cameron- Chandier cliques, who have for months been levy- ing @ most bitter war against the head of the Interior Department. The mistakes, in a political jpoint of view, made by Mr. Cox, and his raid against the political strikers, con- tributed to hasten the crisis, which has had such @ brilliant result fur the wire-pullers of Pennsyivania and Michigan, Iv is understood that the President 1s greatly embarrassed by the Premature disclosure of the plotting and scheming against Mr. Cox, as he desired the fact of a Cabinet Feorganization to remain a profound secret untit after the elections. Now it ts quite probable that the omMcial announcement and appointment of a suc- ceasor will be made without delay, as the cause for withholding both no longer exists. However, yes- terday and to-day the President has refused to give out the correspondence touching the resignation of Mr. Cox. Very much exéitement prevails hero among Western men on-the subject. Some of the newspapers give asa reason for the resignation of Secretary Cox that his means are not suMcient to allow him to hold a Cubinet position,’ where the cost of living exceeds the salary of the oMice. It is safe to say he was influenced by no such considerations, An Ambitious Darky Comes to Grief. Another case under the Civil Rights bill came be- fore the police courts yesterday. A colored man named Brown bought a ticket for the circus, having an understanding with the ticket agent at the time of purchase that {t was good for any portion of the tent. When he reached the door the usher told him to go over on the left hand side, which he refused to do, stating that he had a first class ticket anit would take the place that suited him; but upon demanding his rights he was put out of the tent. On these re- presentations the proprtetors of the circus were ar- rested and brought bvfore Judge Gray, The ushers testified they did not make any difference about color, as all were admitced on the same terms, only a alstinction was made of not allowing gentlemen unaccompanied by ladies to have seats with the ladies on the right hand side. They stated they had told Brown he was not allowed to go on the ladies’ side, and it was only when he became dlsorderly and boisterous that he was ejected. The jadge dis- Tnissed the case, Letter from Geueral Sheridan. General Sheridan has written a etter to a friend in Washington, tn which he says there ts spont the same per centage of desertion and shirking from Tullitary duty in the German and French armies as there was in the United Stales auring the late civil war, and speaks of the fall of Paris as merely a ques- ton of time. Reviston of the Patent Laws. The question of the effect of the repeating clause in the new Patent law came up some weéks ago before the present Board of Commissioners ior, revi- sion of the statutes, These Commisstoners are:hold> Ing daily sessions in Washington for the purpose at present of examining all acts of Congress ana determining wnat sections are in force and how they shall be revided, It isa part of their duty to ascer- tain what previous laws are repealed by each par- ticular act, and in the course of examining the acts Of the last Congress they gave several sessions to the examination of the Patent law. The Commis. stoners have adopted the view that the law admits of a consistent construction by treating the head- ings “patents” and “copyrights,” under which the acis affected by the repeal are ’ arranged in the “schedule,” as indicating’ how much of each act %% repealed. To ascertain whether an act mentioned is repealed entire or only in part, they have examined each act through- out, Af it relates wholly to patents or copyrights, they construe the schednie as meaning that “the act’ is repealed. If only some parts of it relate to those subjects they construe it as meaning that those Parts only are repealed, They have found no practi- cal dimculty in applying this construction to all the acts enumerated in the schedule, and they think it reconciles and gives effect to ail the language of the act and schedule and to the evident legislative pur- pose, without creating any confusion on or embar- rassment in other brancues of the public service, Appointments by the President.

The imanities of mere sensations and the trash of London concert saloons have found their level, and the public now demand Something more than blond treases, red fire and impossible tableaux to satisfy them. The tnfuence of two such artists ay Janauschek and Seebach is already productive of good fruit and giving a more artistic tone to the drama. ts The pale, intellectual German Rachel, whom Mr. Grau introduced to us at the Fourteenth street theatre, who from her first appearance com- manded the admiratton of all overs of art, has a 14 pertowe of the most extensive and varied kind. She has already given evidence of her great powers ag Gretchen, Mary Stuart, Jane Kyre, Loutsa Mil- ler and Valerie in. comedy, and this week she will essay Mathilde, iu Benedix's great work, and shortly will appear in “Adrienne Legouvreur,” “Taming of the Shrew” and “Romeo and Juliet.” No greater test of her wonderful versatility could be given, The name of Marie Seebach. will be long remembered- as one of the brighetst in dramatic annals. A companion picture, although in a very diferent line, is the superb acting of Fanny Janauschek at the Academy of Music, under Daly's management. ‘This extraordinary woman has won two great Vic- vorles at once—one im her pure pronunciation of English after a short study of the language, aud the other ,an old triumph repeated, by ihe way) In mak- ing her, power felt even in the wilderness of the Academy.
