Standing on the verge of an ex- ‘citing and doubtful Presidential campaign, the ‘air about us already hissing with the flying shafts of partisan calumny, the following ex- tract may with advantage be taken to heart by that curions product of imperfect civilization, the party organ:— Political and party, journalism has, to a large ex- ‘tent, adopted system, renouncing 80 far all alle; ve to the laws of conscience and scrupling “at no devices or arts that will serve its purpose. Committed to the interests of a party and its candl- dates, it treats all op) candidates as victims, to be ruined and Ce ag in the public esteem. Misrepresentation of facts, false coloring, unjust combinations, concealment of truth, ridicule, and giten the lowest and most vulgar biackguardism— these and the like are far too much’ tiie characteris. tic qualities of party journalism. The amount of sain in the way of evil speaking and evil writing at- tendant Upon 8 great popular election, if estimated -by the biblical standard of morality, would be fright- ful. Tho people are armed against cach other as if they were belligerent forces, violent hatreds are engendered, and public morals sre seriously cor- rupted by this system of political and personal lumny. The Christian Union hasa second paper on “Christian Unity,” and strives to show that it is best expressed by the existence of a sympa- thetic bond of affectionate friendship, not by a visible unanimity upon questions of doctrine. “This is its peroration: — Our life is a training, and we should be constantly from its lower stages to the higher ones. First as children we are taken into the lives of our rents, ‘then come personal friendships; and en, in the order of nature, the perfect anion of marriage. And then is given the sublime lesson of giving ourselves to others, not for the sweetness Which their natures yield to usin return, bat in Christ's spivit of pure disinterestedness, That is Christiunity. When all the family of man shall ‘havo fuily entered into that spirit then will Christ’s prayer, be fulfilled, “that they all may be one, as ju, Father, art in me and [in thee.” Verily, a, beautiful dream! But it is only a dream, ifwe look simply at the present and the immediate future. Let us remember, showever, that the millennium is among the promises of the Good Book, and that, remote though it be, it must surely come at last, and the sooner the better. ‘The Metropolitan Record has a sensible article on the opening of the libraries on Sunday—a question which has agitated during the last month, and especially since the publication of Mr. Beecher's manly and spirited pronuncia- mento, most of our other religious com temporaries. We are among those who think ‘that since Satan finds work for idle hands and brains to do, and since it is impossible for the ‘average human being to be kept at the high- pressure point of religious ecstasy for twelve hours at a stretch, it is eminently wise and proper to allow the out-of-church hours of the Sabbath to be spent in harmless social pleas- ‘ares, or in communion with the great spirits of our literature, or even in turning over the leaves of a good novel. We therefore heartily endorse the following from the Record: — ‘The time for nomen all classes to comply with the Yankee idea of Sunday is no longer here. It has passed away, and we trust its counterpart will mever again be scen. The solemn hypocrites who still observe Sunday in the old Puritan way, except that they do not now hold it criminal in a husband to kiss his wife on that day, or cling to the notion of retributive justice illustrated in Hanging a cat on Monday, For killing of a mouse on Sunday— these solemn hypocrites object to opening the libraries on the ground that to do so is to ‘“dese- crate the Sabbath.” In the same way a few years ago they protested against the running of strect ears on Sunday, but their protests did not avail, and far as we can judge there has been no diminution in the proper observance of that day in consequence of their prejudices being disregarded. 7 as many people go to church now as there ld twenty years ago, and the day is in every respect as orderly as it was then. The Evangelist also takes ground in behalf of opening the libraries, and says, with much weason, that if a preaching service be estab- lished at the Cooper Institute at the same time ‘that it is thrown open to readers ‘‘the library ‘will be the best feeder to the congregation.” ‘Thus, too, there might be gathered together a throng of worshippers ‘unique in its cha- acter, composed largely of those who would mot go to the regular churches.” So, slowly Dut surely, the progressive spirit of our age frees us from the bigotry of the dead past. Film after film the scales of superstition fall from our eyes, and we obey the spirit, and not qerely conform to the letter, of the Living Word. The Christian at Work is as true to its title ‘and as charmingly written as ever. We have always contended for earnestness in well-doing, and believe heartily, as it says, that Religions work is like music—it is worth nothing ‘without soulin it. One may imitate a tune by turning the crank of a hand-organ, but he only is a mousician who thrilis us by the vibration of his own heart strings, who makes us feel that he fecls the gentiment which the tune expresses. The present issue of the Catholic Review is a decided and handsome improvemeut upon ita former appearance. It has a long article upon , the prospects of America becoming Catholic, which is gonerally hopeful in tone, though it alludes to many depressing moral influences. Its sobér opinion appears to be that, as De Tocqueville predicted, the ultimate religious destiny of our people is to be split up into two ‘wast camps of fluctuating strength—one Catholic, the other composed of Indifferents, Disbelievers, Unbelievers, or whatever name may seem to be most appropriate. Such a result, however, seems to us to be very remote. According to the Reformed Church Messen- ger there is the same struggle in that commu- nion over the revival of ‘‘external religion” ‘which has divided the Episcopal Church into High Church and Evangelical. This ferment of active thought is a very hopeful sign of the living reality of any religious body in which it breaks out. Tho Golden Age has a curious editorial en- ‘titled “Justice to Jesus,’’ whose matter, as woll as its title, seems to us to be pervaded by afaint tinge of blasphemy. The key note of the argument may be found, perhaps, in the following extract: — He who called himself now the light, now a door and now a vine, and sald nounced the Pharisees as whited sepulchres, must not be interpreted in dry literainess, as though His words were the selected terms of metaphysics or of a lawyer whose document must stand the scrutiny of @ court.

PHILADELPHIA, May 4, 1872, It will be remembered that Mr. Dana, editor of the Sun, was arrested a few weeks ago, en route from Washington to New York, on complaint of William H. Kemble and others, on a charge of libel preferred by them for publishing in the Sun’s Har- risburg correspondence that Messrs.

A remarkable speech was delivered in the National Assembly to-day by Deputy Andif- fret Pasquier, upon the conduct of the army contractors, whom he stigmatized as “shameless and dishonest,” and said the Government should see to it that the frauds of the past which led to such disastrous re- sults should not be tolerated in the future. In the army only could be found the best school for the young generation, and all must serve in it alike, and it should not be subject to demoralization con- sequent upon the bad service of contractors. ‘The speech created a genuine enthusiasm in the Chamber which was unprecedented, and the Assem- bly passed a resolution ordering it to be p inted and copies circulated throughout all the Commuoes of France.

There was a consultation to-day at the State Department between the President, the Secretary of State and the members of the House and Senate Committees on Foretgn Relations. The fact created earnest comment in news circles. Much interest is manifested to learn thhe resuit of the conference. The republican members of the committees only were present, the democratic mem- bers not having been invited. Those who have been questioned on the subject of the conference say they do not feel at liberty to disclose it—the under- standing being that their business should be kept secret. The object of their being called together was to consult on the national policy in the matter of the Alabama Treaty, as fully foreshadowed in these despatches yesterday. Theo Japanese at the Naval Academy.

The company were escorted through the various buildings containing objects of interest, and in the afternoon were entertained with refreshments. They returned to Washington that evening.

The Most Popular Living German Com- Pposer—His Arrival from Europe—His Reception by the Licderkranz Society and the Allegemeine Sacngerbund—His Visit to the Stesmway Fostival and the Philharmonic Concert. The greatest living German song writer of the present day, Franz Abt, whose songs have become household words all over the world, arrived yester- day on the steamship Rhein, and was received by his fellow countrymen in this city with all the honors one could desire. First the principal members of the New York Liederkranz Seviety welcomed him to the land of the great republic before he even set foot on our shores. Unhappily, on account of the steamer ar_ rangements at this port, the great German com- seat was obliged to tand for the first time in joboken, in the foreign land of Jersey. | Yet even here the members of the Liederkranz®yesterday afternoon found a “refreshing” if not a restin place for their distinguished guest. Busch’s Hotel ‘was calied Pned pay pt anda jolly Teutonic party congregated within its walls before the Christopher street ferryboat started. The party proceeded immediately to the Belvidere House in Irving place, whese Mr. Abt is domiciled during his stay in New york. At four o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Abt went to Steinway Hall, to the celebration of the firm of Steinwa} & Sons in reaching the twenty- five thousandth plano made by them. Here a uumber of speeches were made by some of the immense congregation of artists resent, and Messrs. Mills, Mason, Bonawitz, Berge, Vogt, Von Inten, Boeckleman and other planista erformed, and Messrs. Graf, of Philadelphia, and ‘red Sterns, with a fine chorus from the Lieder- kranz Society, sang some admirable selections. In the evening iferr Abt attended the concert of the Philhammic Society and was very much pleased at the programme and the rendering of the same. The programme was as follows :—Symphony, in C—1.

The orchestral works were delivered with more than ordinary ability and were fully up to the old- time standard of the soctety. The soloists were not equal to the situation, at least as As the opinion of Abt is concerned. Miss Sterling's selections werejentirely unsuited for a Philharmonic concert, and each and all fell dead in the scattered audience present. Mr. Hoffmann played like a pupil of a conservatory—mechanically correct, but nothing beyond. No more ineffec- tive planism has been heard here for many years. Abt was perfectly disgusted with,it, and expressed his ideas at once. DEPARTURE OF MR, NEWENDORFF.

Wher the annonncement of the pro ject was first made the names that appeared im connection with it gave rise to expectations thet the result has certainly not fulfitied, For this our too ardent imaginations must principally be blamed. ‘Those who from’ the first rumors that reached this country had formed ectutions as to the quality of the will be somewhat disappointed on visiti hibition, The united German and Frepel tions number some two hundred and eighty and form a fair representation of their schools so far a# style and habit of thought are com cerned. But with only quality of the work is voi many of the paintings having any claim te" sidered finished. Some of the humbler have, indeed, done their ae but only result they have obtained to clear their want of power. The German collection is especially bad, without one redeeming feature: It is worthy of remark that some of the most careless paintings come from men who derive consi incomes from American patronage, while’ of comparatively unknown, have at least striven to: better, Owing to the cireumstances connected the collection we do not care to criticise too but we cannot refrain from expressing an a that men who are largely patronized in Ameri¢a ought to have contributed something more ant than clever sketches as a testimony of pathy.

Gérome and Hodbner, on the other hand, have just done well enough to escape censure, but not well enough to sustain ther ow reputation, If we omit the works of those artists and a remarkably able sketch by Fortuny, the re- mainder of the collection must be classéd as in- different. We regret that we cannot speak more highly of acollection which certainly has a claim. to the most indulgent consideration, But we fee’ that the circumstances lend to the paint ings a factitious interest not justified by’ their merits, and it 1s therefore our duty to speak plainty; in the interest of the public, The quality of the works, no doubt, influenced the committee charged with their mth to reject the propos te make the collection the nucleus of an ai celery Chicago. This seemed to be the most natural position of them, as we understand the authorities: of that city havea large surplus relief fund on which they are puzzled how to dispose of; but the committee, after some deliberation, resolved to dispose of them. The collection will remain om view until the 16th inst., when it will be sold by auction at Clinton Hall. “We Mourn Our Loss,” Say the Ladies ae their “glory” diminishes daily under the action of the comb.” But why “mourn” when PHALON’S HAL INVIGORATOR will stop the devastation and cause living roots to put forth stronger fibres? | Thero is noth! truer in history than that the INVIGORATOR has sa tens of thousands of both sexes from baldness during the last forty years.
