So many people have a lively recol- lection of the many merits of this distin- guished actor and playwright that it will be difficult to convince them that he would wrong any man. The details of the prelimi- Bary examincticn into this remarkable suit will be found in another colamn. A Comarxarion has been formed by the Manhattan, the Metropolitan, the Mutual and the New York gas companies.for fleec- ing thé city treasury in a fashion that shows unblushing audacity, and demonstrates anew the insolence of monopoly.

Each of these factions is getting wilder and hotter day by day. When we read the President’s extra official, and as we venture to hope after-dinner utterances to the reporters, we see clearly that he, who ought proudly to regard himself as the President of the whole people, has got himself into a humor of narrow and purblind partisanship which is nothing less than disgraceful in a citizen holding his exalted position, and it is even more shameful to see that men like Secretaries Cameron and Chandler, Senator Logan and others having aceess to His Exceliency, so far from feeling hu- miliated at his attitude, boastfully make it public, and endeavor even to exaggerate the reports both of his partisan language and the unruly temper which produces it. Tbese men appear to have lost all sense of decency and propriety. They conduct their . | side of a most grave and danerous contro- versy as though it was a pothouse brawl, in which thoy must triumph by force of bellow- ing out epithets and threats. On the other, the democratic side, thero is also a faction which goes about utter- ing silly and nnpatriotic threats, and we regret to seo that some of the more respectable. democratic organs are taking an offensive tone, and indulging in “charges” and ‘counter charges” and nonsensical threats and forebodings of what will happen in certain contingencies. These organs are becoming the mouthpieces of men whose folly makes itself more distinctly heard in private, where one may hear dis- cussed schemes of taking possession of the ports of New York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia; of raising regiments and grmbbing oustom houses in case Mr. Tilden is not nonsense as this is gravely discussed among a few democrats not without influ- ence; and while we resent it we cease to wonder at it when we seo to what depths of partisan folly the President of the United States condescends. Each side urges the other on, and, as we said before, these peo- plo, if they had the settlement of the ques- tion, would decide it with clubs. Cannot the President of the United States seo that he is degrading himself when he talks such stuff as was reported of him in Monday’s papers? Cannot the democratic factionists see that they put themselves fatally in the wrong with the country when they talk of the seizure of custom houses and ports, and take for granted in their organs that they are to be ‘‘cheated” out of the election? Committees of both houses of Congress have gone down into the disputed States to investigate the elections. Sup- pose these committees, which are composed of honorable and responsible men of both parties, should report on their return, for in- stance, that the count in Louisiana was not fair or honest; that the Returning Board did throw out parishes on evidence which was incompetent according to the law which de- fined its duties. Would not President Grant feel*very much humiliated and cha- grined at the miserable exhibition of parti- son feeling which he is making in these days? Yet such a report is by no means improbable. There is good reason to believe that the Returning Board did accept evidence which the very law by which it exists forbids it to accept or con- sider. Or, take the other side, suppose the different committees should return from Lonisiana, Florida and South Carolina, and declare that those States did really and fairly cast their votes for Mr. Hayes, would not those . democrats who are now vaporing in so silly and un- American a way become pbjects of contempt and public odium, and justly so? What is the use or tho sense of this hectoring on both sides? The whole matter in dispute is in process of settlement ; it isin the hands of Senate and House committees, carefully chosen, composed for the most part of hon- orable and patriotic men, not rigid parti- sans, and having a membership of both par- ties, in which respect, by the -way, they are conspicuously unlike the President’s parti- san ‘visiting statesmen.” These commit- tees are at their work. Now, then, let the whole small army of partisans and politiéal camp followers of both sides hold their tongues until the committees report. That is what the American people require, and that is what they will presently, if this nonsense goes on, demand in thunder tones. This Presidential squabble is going to be settled peaceably, honorably and satisfac- torily to the country, The American peo- ple are going to see to that. Tho sensi- ble and patriotic men on both sides in Congress will take care of it. The factionists of both sides are now indulg- ing in reckless and foolish bragging ; and we grieve to see that the Presi- dent of the United States has no more sense of propriety and decency than to make himself one of these factionists, But when the time for action comes we warn these vaporers that thero is going to be no non- sense, no revolution on either side. If they carry matters too far they will suddenly find themselves left in the lurch by the peo- ple, and will have to retreat in disgrace and contempt. Pray, who is going to fight? Suppose Mr. Hayes is declared properiy elected by the Congressional committees, are the Northern democratic leaders going to shoulder their muskets and go to war? If they do they will | do much more than they did in 1861, when they left the South in the lurch to fight out ® battle to which they had urged and per- suaded them. Do these Northern democratic leaders imagine Southern men have forgot- ten that turn? Let them ask any Southern man who fought against the Union in the late war and they will get a very disagreca- bleanswer, The Southern men are not going to fight. They have been through all that, and have learned that war is not a pleasant or useful way to settle political disappoint- ments or wrongs. Or suppose Mr. ‘Vilden is declared elected by the committees, who is going to fight? Shall we hear of Major General Chandler and Major General Cameron and Major General Tynor shoul-~ inaugurated. Such | | community ? "dering their swords to resist? Not they. They are great at blustering and manipu- lating. They know how, most adroitly and shamefully, to impose upon the ignorance and inflame the prejudices of the poor soldier in the White House. They will brag, probably, to the end; but they know per- fectly well that if Mr. Tilden is elected they will have to submit, because the American people of both parties will mako them submit. Who will fight? We can tell the poli- ticians of both parties whom both can equally count on. Not the decent, indus- trious men who earn their bread and sup- port their families. No; their army will consist of the Five Points thieves, the burg- lors, the robbers, the roble corps of tramps, the assemblage of the an- detected of the rag-tag and bobtail who happen to be out of jail. These would answer to their summons, and marching at the head of such a Falstaff's brigade, what reception do these vaporers imagine they would get from tho respectable part of the be to rob, to steal, to set on fire private dwellings, to empty shops, which will’ sec an enemy in every bale of dry goods, and whose greatest triumph would be an act of arson which would send it, rank and file, to State Prison--that is the kind of army on which General Chandler and General Cameron and Gen- eral Morton, on the one side, and a set of unfledged democratic generals, equally in- nocent of war, on the other, may count; and we wish them joy in advance of their impa- tient recruits, We advise the factionists nnd partisans, including the President, to keep their tem- pers. Their innings are nearly over. They have come nearly to the end of their rope. They have gambled with the country’s in- terests long enough. We counsel them, on both sides, not to go too far. ‘This country does not belong. to the politi- cal gamblers of either party; it is the property of the people. They were dragged into a needless war in 1861 by a set | of the Hesaxn studied the glaciers and vol- of reckless politicians and they are not going to suffera simiiar calamity now to please either side. They care little who is to be President, bat they mean to tolerate no vio- lence, and they are right. Whichever party is disappointed in the eventual result can | appeal to the country two years hence, If it has grievances they will be settled then, but only on the condition that now, what- ever happens, there shall be quiet and orderly gubmission. That is what the peo- ple require and what they will insist on. Firemen at the Theatres. The orders which Mr. Eli Bates, Chief of the Fire Department, has issued, and which will be found elsewhere, will be read with interest by the public. We congratulate the Fire Department upon the promptness with which it has acted upon the advice of tho Hrnarp. It has, in the first in- stance, ordered a thorough investiga- tion of all the theatres in the city, and the experienced firemen who are intrusted with the inspection aro di- rected to report as soon as their important labors are finished. In the second place the Fire Department has detailed some of its men for duty at the Union Square Theatre, and they are instructed to remain on duty from the time the doors open till’ they shut. ‘All theappliances for the extinguishing ofa spark are to be supervised and every precaution taken. We are glad to learn that the Union Square Theatre and the Fire Department have adopted this pradent measure, which will go far to restore the confidence of the public, All the other managers should fol- low so excellent an example. Theatres are realky not as dangerous as is supposed, but when a fire does occur it is likely to be disastro1s, Churches frequently are quite as unsafe, buta church is generally open but one day ina week, while a theatre is open six nights. Yet the accidents to audiences in American theatres are not as nu- merous as many persons believe. The burn- ing of the Richmond Theatre and the Brook- lyn Theatre is without dny parallel. Still the absolute importance of better protection is comprehended by the people who trust their lives to the guarantee of a manager, and the measures taken by the Fire Depart- ment will meet the hearty approval of the community. The Latest Incendiary Canard. Some of the democratic journals have been asserting that President Grant is about to transfer General Sheridan to this city to “bull-doze” its ‘‘banditti” and intimidate the democratic party, and that iron- clads have been ordered to our har- bor to be in readiness to bombard the city. This extravagart story bore the im- press of reokless invention on its face, but we have nevertheless caused inquiries to be made of the proper authorities at Washing- ton to find if there were any facts which might have served as a hint to ‘the fabri- eators. The result is an absolute de- nial of the story as a whole and of all its parts. General Sherman declares that there is no _ thought of sending General Sheridan to this city, and denials equally positive are given at the Navy Department to the marine part of the story which is @ veritable ‘‘story for the marines.” / Next to the wickedness of sending Gen- eral Sheridan here gs menace in the present excited state of the. public mind is the wickedness of inventing such lies and disseminating them through the com- munity; for President Grant to do’ what he is charged with the intention of doing would have an inflammatory effect on public feeling at a time when every true patriot should aim to calm and quiet it. The fabrication of the story has precisely the same effect so far as the story is believed, and is as wanton a trifling with the public tranquillity as the fact would be if it wero true. There could not bo a more incendiary species of lying than this when the public mind is so excited and inflammable.

NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1876,<TRIPLE SHEET. daeccdd mane toate, shikai with The reader who with equal appetite for | a central pressure of only 29.28 inches, is news and breakfast takes up the Hznanp in the morning, and by his comfortable fire- side feeds at once both mind and body, takes as little thought of the manner in which his information is obtained as of the pedigree of his bacon or eggs. He reads a cable despatch from Africa or Asia, at- tractive stories from all parts of the globe, “strange ventures happed by land or sea,” and- accepts them as mere matters of course.’ Yet how few know by what toi!, through what energy and experi- ence, at what personal risks, these facts are collected! The correspondents of a great paper are like tho best soldiers of an army— they are ordered to the front. They lead the ‘forlorn hope” of journalism ; and, as Thackeray said, the couriers of the press march with every army, and its am- bassadors are in every Cabinet. They an- ticipate the action of governments, as has been a thousand times shown, and even Disraeli waits upon the London newspapers for facts about the Turkish complications. Diplomacy, which once ran in advance of the knowledge of mankind, now follows it, and governments now simply register whint the newspapers have anrounced. government instructed the press, an in the time of George III., but now the press in- | structs the government. Examples of this kind are frequent in the record of the Henarp. Our roll of honor is tco long to repeat, but among tho men who have braved danger and some have saifered death for the sake of duiy a few may be men- tioned. No soldier of the Legion ever dared mofa than some of them, who, like Marco Polo or Sir John Franklin, went forward as the pionecerg of discov- ery and civilization.. The other day we published a letter from Mr. J. J. Roche, descriptive of of General Mackenzie with the Indians, ob- tained only at personal risk and by sure prising industry. Dr. Hayes in the service canoes of Iceland and graphically told the story of her celebration of a thousand years of self-government. From Central Africa, Dr. Livingstone, an apostle of religion and enlightenment, sent us letters rich in in- terest and value, and Stanley, follow- | ing in his steps and penetrating fur- ther into the mysteries of the continent, has solved the .problems of the Niyanza. In this expedition Mr. Stanley gives all his energy and ability to the service of the public and journalism. Then there was Mr. MacGahan, who marched with the Rus- sian army to Khiva, who,was with the Car- lists during the civil war in Spain, and who went in search of the passage to the Pole with Captain Allen Youngin the Pandora, in each event as the correspondent of the Hrnatp. Mr. Edwin Fox, in the famous Modoc war, traversed the In dian country alone, and bravely interviewed Cap- tain Jack in his - rocky fastnesses. Mr. James J. O'Kelly, as the representa- tive of this newspaper, visited Cuba in the most stormy period of the war, was ar- rested, condemned to be shot, transported to Spain, and only was saved with diffi- culty. He, too, served the Hzratp in the Indian war. Another of our correspondents, Mark Kellogg, was killed with Custer, and did his duty to journalism exaotly as the sol- diers did to the government. Mr. Reuben H. Davenport, who went to the frontier with our troops, after Custer’s death, endured hardships not imagined by those who calmly read his letters to this journal. Then there was Mr. George Alfred Townsend, who placed his life in danger to find the truth of the Swamp Angel troubles in South Caro- lina, and Gerald McKenny, who penetrated the frozen Northern Ocean when the Juni- ata sailed for the relief of the Tigris. Many others might be included in qur roll of honor, yet we need not prolong the list. It is enough to give ‘these illustrations of the great responsibilities of our modern jour- nalism, which “point the moral and adorn the tale.” 3 i The South Carolina Senatorship. The republican or Maekey Legislature went through the form of electing a United States Senator yesterday, the choice falling on D. T. Corbin, United States District Attorney. It is not probable that he will ever take his seat as a Senator. There are too many sound republican lawyers in the federal Senate toadmit a member whose claim has so little foundation. The Mackey House has never had a quorum and therefore no right to participate in the election of a Sena- tor. To be sure it does not depend on the courts of South Carolina, but on the Senate of the United States, to determine whether Cor- bin’s elcetion is valid; but the Senate must de- | cide with reference to the State constitution, The point of law involved is so clear that the ablest republican Senators can have but one opinion upon it. We assume that the Senate will reject the claim of Corbin on the ground | that he was not elected bya valid Legisla- ture; but this decision cannot be reached until some time in March, during the extra session of the Senate. But the Mackey Legislature meanwhile exists by a frail ten- ure. It is already on the point of tumbling to pieces, The democratic Senators will probably secede to-morrow, and, it is expected that some dosertions from the other side. will give them a quorum, when the regular Legislature will be fally organized, Wade Hanipton inaug- urated and a democratic Senator chosen. This result may be facilitated by the fact that the democratic members are getting their pay, whilo their rivals are never likely to receive a cent until after they shall have taken seats in the Wallace House, The Weather—A Rapid Succession of Storm Centres, _ A remarkable feature of the present meteorological conditions in the United States is the rapidity with which distinctly marked storm centres are traversing the region of the lakes and Middle States from tho Northwest toward the Atlantic. Since Saturday last not* less than four of these depressions have moved over this course with their attendant areas of rain and snow and high winds. That which pro- Onco the | | | part, and tha Mnterview rapidly advancing over the lakes. Thewin- ter storm belt is thus agitated by frequent storms which cause extraordinary alter- netions of temperature throughout its length. For instance, at North Platte the temperature has ranged within a few days between zero and sixty-two degrees above, while at other points the changes have been still.greater. Yester- day morning snow was falling along the storm track from Pembina to Halifax, and in the evening in two areas-—one in the Northwest and the other in the Northeast. The wind at New York varied between five and twenty miles an hour as the depression moved eastward, while the temperature sen- sibly rose toward night. To-day the weather will be cloudy or partly clondy and warmer, probably with light snow toward evening. Mr, Mr. Hewitt gives his version of the inter- view between himself and the President. There are some discrepancies between his statement and the President's, but they are not greater than often hap- pens when different persons repeat a long conversation from memory. The conversation related to two subjects, Louisiana avd South Carolina, Mr. Hewitt admits that the Louisiana part of it was con- fidential, but asserts that there was no such understanding about the South Carolina t he had, in fact, the Pres- ident’s permission to muke it public. Both accounts agree that the President did say that it required sixty-three members to form a quorum of the South Carolina House of Representatives ; and if it be true that the President consented that HMewiltt’s Statement, this statement might be given to the public be is hardly entitle. to call it a merely private opinion. the battle }Be that asit may, it is difficult to see what right a responsible officer acting on an important matter has to discriminate be- tween his private and his oflicial opinions. He was bound to act on his real views, As a proof of his own accuracy Mr. Hewitt refers to motes of the first conversation, which he took down im- mediately after leaving the President and sent to him for correction, if they were in ‘ any respect inaccurate, and that the Presi- dent made no suggestions that they were inexact. Those notes were given to the President for his own protection if his con- duct on the occasion should ever be called in question. We think it clear enough that the President expressed himself in the first with great and unexpected liberality, and in the warmth of conversa- tion went further than his judgment ap- proved on cool reflection. Mr. Hewitt, on the other hand, caught eagerly at these ex- pressions and founded hopes on them which he was unable to conceal. His want of reti- cenceput the President in an annoying posi- tion, and he ought to have foreseen the effect of his indiscreet disclosures and his at- tempts to force the President to go further than he wished. If Mr. Hewitt had been wise he would have guarded the President against any suspicion by his own party friends of acting in secret collusion with their adversaries and giving them aid and comfort. He weakly subjected the President to this kind of imputations and put him on the defensive before his own party. Aside from its self-defeating folly the disclosure was personally unfair to a gen- tleman who had talked to him with singular frankness, relying on his continence and discretion, We suspect that political op- ponents will hereafter be in no great haste to make a confidant of Mr. Hewitt. Peculiarities of Divorce Cases. The strange aspect which divorce cases frequently present affords features of inter- est toa better class of people than usually interest themselves in legal contests between husbands and wives. In a case which was concluded-yesterday in Judge Brady's Court o husband sued for divorce on tho only ground recognized by the statutes of New York, and ao referee was ordered to take the testimony and report thereon, Meanwhile a counter suit was begun by the wife, and the cross-examina- tion of the witnesses for the husband re- sulted in the burden of proof being against the husband, and the Judge consequently visited upon the man the disgrace which he had sought to inflict upon his wife. In another suit, upon argument as to alimony and counsel fees, the husband, who was the defendant, declared that his income was not half as large as was alleged, an enormous overdraft of salary having been neces- sary to liquidate expenses incurred by the wife. It also transpired that the defermant’s business prospects were en- dangered by the publicity which had been given to the suit, he being an attaché of a house whose business consisted principally of the sale of Sunday school books and Bibles. The moralist will find in both these | eases considerable food for thought. That @ man may prefer trumped-up charges against his wife’s honor without sub- jecting himself to any penalty that is of the nature of punishment shows that the divorce laws of New York are not as faultless as they are pure, while the spectacle of the religious public being served with its special mental food by a man charged with the most dangerous crime that can be com- mitted against society is anything but a pleasing one. Both cases are eloquent ser- mons against marrying in haste, with the attendant repentance at leisure in a court room. Help the Poor, We again call earnest attention to tho ne- cessity of immediate action on the part of the benevolent for the relief of the poor of the city, We quote from the interviews of our reporters with several’ workingmen to show how patiently they are struggling against their miseries, A painter snys:—‘tI don’t believe that even with good food every day Ishould be able to work steady for a week.” A baker says:—‘During five months I worked about seventeen days; and after stating that for-seven weeks he and his fam- ily had lived on a few loaves of bread, adds, with o simplicity and plaintive humility that touches the heart, ‘I don’t expect that duced the snowfall of yesterday morning at | my wife will be ablo to do as much sernb- New York is now moving off the const of | bingas she thinks she will, as sho is well be . va] i ee ‘ nigh eee! down.” A tailor states that in three weeks he did not average & meal a day and knew oa man who had not eaten a mouthful for three days and had slept in the parks. These are but single instances, but they represent thousands of honest, good citizens, who are starving be- cause there is a want of systematic effort to save them. The Board of Apportion- ment yesterday appropriated thirty-five thousand dollars to several societies for distribution among the needy. This will afford relief to some if these societies are prompt in using it. In addition to the work of such organizations if every family that has the means will seek out those that are in poverty the benefit that will follow will be incalculable. We wish it understood that we are calling upon the / readers of the Henatp for spontaneous charity. Let them stretch out the helping hand before those who need help are be- yond help. There is a dignity in poverty that wealth should respect, and there is no gencrosity that adorns the character like that which is unsolicited, Leay- ing the question of moral duty aside, an intelligent selfishness snggests that it is well for the rich to protect themselves and society from deeds that the desperation of want frequently creates. While many a thief strives to cloak his sin with the mantle of necessity and many a worthless woman excuses the wearing of the salmon shawl of Pelagin because she wanted food, there are undoubtedly many cases of crime and degradation which are the offspring of stare vation.
