President Hayes the Republican Senators. It is not to be dissembled that Mr. Hayes is put in a difficult and trying position by the declared hostility of a majority of the Senators of his own party to his policy and his methods. It may-be expedient under these circumstances for him to revise his action with a view to discover whether or wherein he has fallen into. errors; and in | points where he may find that the complaints against him are well founded it would be wise and manly to make concessions and yield his former views. Of course he should not yield to the mere will or the party dic- tation of Senators, but only to reason and justice. He, and not they, must be the final judge as to how he will discharge du- ties laid upon him by the constitution and of which he alone must bear the responsi- bility. It would be weak and pusillanimous to allow himself to be driven by party clamor from a course which he is convinced is clearly right and conducive to the gen- eral interest. The demand of a majority of the republi- can Senators that the President shall sub- mit himself to their guidance under penalty of having his nominations rejected would be more formidable if they had power to fulfil theirthreats. But in point of fact he is not dependent on them for the confirmation of good appointments. Although they are a majority of the republican members they are not majority of. the Senate. A minority of that body has no power to coerce the President into making nominations to please them. Of quite a proportion of the Senators who are mak- ing this demonstration against him the | terms will expire in less than sixteen | months from the present time, und the drift of this year’s elections shows that several of them will be replaced by democratic suc- cessors. For the last two years of Mr. Hayes’ term he will be confronted with a democratic majority intheSenate. He may, | properly enough, consider now how he will conduct his administration when that not distant prospect shall have become’ a present fact. The public is not likely to condemn him for trying to begin as he can hold out. The time is rap- idly approaching when he will be entirely at the mercy of a democratic Senate for the confirmation of his appointments, and if he treats the democrats with no consideration during the brief interval how can he cx- pect any fairness trom them when they be- come a majority? The exceptional cir- cumstances in which Mr. Hayes is placed emancipate him from the strict party fealty which the republicans might claim witha better show of reason if they possessed an assured majority of both branches of Con- gress. It commonly happens that a Presi- dent in office has this advantage, which is an equal advantage to the party that elected him, since it gives them an efficient super- vision of his policy and a restraiming power over his possible aberrations. But if they have not been strong enough with the peo- ple to save the President of their choice from dependence on an_ opposition Congress, by what title can they assume to dictate his course? The constitu- tion, which makes it the duty of the Presi- dent to administer the government, docs not clothe him with the power of an abso- lute monarch, and we trust we may never witness such a spectacle in this country as has lately been exhibited in France, of a President of the Republic attempting to rule in arrogant defiance of the representa- tives of the people. When, as_ will soon be the case, Mr. Hayes has both branches of Congress in oppo- sition it will still be his duty to admin- ister the government according to his best judgment; but when that time comes he might as well abdicate as to attempt to carry out a narrow party policy. No public officer can reasonably be asked to undertake im- possibilities or butt his head against a solid stone wall. Sixteen months hence there will be a democratic majority of the Senate. Let us suppose that time arrived and that the re- publican Senators then hold a caucus like that. of last Saturday. Let us suppose further that instead of being divided, as they were on Saturday, they are unani- mous, and that they issue an inter- dict to the President forbidding him to nominate enybody but republicans for office. With an absolute power of rejection in democratic hands what would such a mandate, amount to? It is only one or two degrees less absurd for a caucus of re- publicans to attempt to issue such a ukase now, when it would so certainly be annulled by the force of circumstances on the 4th of March, 1879. That may make no difference | to recalcitrant Senators who will then be consigned to private life, but it would make a difference to the President whose term is ; to extend two years beyond that date. Why should he be asked to adopta line of action which he would be compelled to abandon sixteen months hence? During his last two years he can make no removal nor any ap- pointment without the consent of a demo- cratic Senate, and this seems a conclusive reason why he should not ride a high | party horse in the — interval provoke political opponents to | barrass his administration when ho can do nothing without their permission. If he treats them with fairness now he may expect fairness in return, He is bound under all | circumstances to look to the usefulness of the government, which would be deplorably impaired by a deadlock between the Presi- dentand the Senate, His steady adherence | toa course dictated by moderation and patri- otism will secure for him the confidence of the country and the respect of the demo- cratic Senators, and will save him from the vexation and the government from the and | em- serious evils of a factious opposition to his appointments by a demo- cratic Senate. His own party should not act like the tyrannical Egyptian task- masters who required bricks to be made without straw. He can only act through such instruments asit has given him. Its failure to elect a republican Congress renders a rigorous party administration im- possible, and, whether with party support or without it, his first and highest duty is to the country. Every political party bas equal rights in the Senate, What a majortty of one party ; deemed humanity. may do, in, relation to appointments, the other party would have precisely the same justification in doing when it, in turn, has a majority. If it be right fora republican Senate to decide that it will reject every ap- pointment of a democrat to office, then it would also be right for a democratic Senate to refuse to contirm the appointment of any republican, The example which the melcon- tent Senators are attempting to set wil] have an undesirable effect on their party if the democrats should imitate it when they get control of the Senate in the next Congress. These republican Senators are trying to load a blunderbuss which they cannot dis- charge without a recoil which would make its breech a more dangerous place than its muzzle. Some of the republican Senators who are most active in trying to load it will be safely out of harm's way in private life when the recoil comes, but President Hayes must remain in office two years longer. He needs to look far enough ahead to see how he/ is to get through the last half of his term with cither comfort to himself or usefulness to the country. Whatever personal pride or party spirit might impel him to do, he has no right to destroy his own usefulness by provoking the democratic Senators to such antagonism as would deprive him of all liberty in making appointments, As he must necessarily depend on the fairness and magnanimity of political opponents for the success of the latter half of his ad- ministration it behooves him to treat them with fairness, at least, it not magnanimity, during the intermediate period. The fortune of politics has put it quite out of his power to be a party President. ‘The republi- jeans have no right to demand it of him since their failure to give him such a Congress as would sup- port him in that réle, His position will be embarrassing at best. His only chance of being serviceable to the country lies in rising superior to machine politics of every description and inspiring public confidence by single minded devotion to the national weifare. A successful party President he cannot be if he tries ; but to be a wise and patriotic public servant is within his power if he will dismiss all feverish anxiety to con- ciliate the unscrupulous politicians who wish to dowineer over him. Golden Traths from Earnest Hearts. The pastoral letter of the House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church is an earnest and timely exhortation 1o more de- voted labor on the part of the clergy and to a better observance of the obligations and duties of a Christian life on the part of the lnity of that faith. It has all the force and eloquence of a plea coming from the hearts of sincere men, and points out in plain language the perils which beset the path of those who swerve by ever so little from that high standard of morality and purity of lite demanded by the Church. The daily hu- miliation of the land by financial crimes, frauds, defalcations, betrayals of trust and especially domestic scandals, is attributed to the looseness with which in these days religious obligations are apt to sit upon men's consciences, inducing a forgetfulness of the Great Shepherd by whose ex- ample we are taught to frame our lives. True religion teaches honesty and truthfulness, sincerity and constancy, moderation, sobricty and purity of lite, gentleness, compassion and charity; and it is only by a disregard of its teachings that the offences, unhappily too common in these days, can become possible. The remedy is to be found in greater efforts on the part of the ministry and greater ‘watch- fulness on the part of Christian parents over those whose early lives are committed to their care. The pastoral especially deplores the grow- ing disregard to the principles of moral purity which give honor and strength to Christian wedlock. Marriages are entered into without a proper appreciation of their sanctity, and as a consequence divorces are lightly sought and readily obtained. There is, unhappily, too much reason for the warning words of the bishops in this direc- tion. The columns of the daily journals bear evidence to the fact that many of the divorce cases which crowd the calendars of the courts may be traced to recklessness in entering into the marriage contract. Jt is not alone the lives of the parties to such miserable suits that lie wrecked along the perilous shores of passion and indiffer- ence, The children of unhappy marriages are too often the principal sufferers, and upon their innocent heads the sins of the parents are heavily visited. The bishops urge it upon their people to ‘preserve the chastity and constancy of that divine bond between husband and wife which our Lord has chosen as a living image to represent the mystical union of Himself with His bride, the Church.” The pastoral touches upon the evils of a disregard of the sacred- ness of the Sabbath, condemns fairs, festi- vals, lotteries and theatrical entertainments as a means of raising church funds, and urges efforts to teach labor and capital their mutual obligations, so as to bring them into harmony ‘upon the common plane of a re- " The letter is full of | fervor and truth and cannot fail to make its impression on the Church. Congress Yesterday, The Army bill was passed by the House yesterday. Nearly 2 month ago Congress was called together mainly for this pur- pose, and there was no good reason why it should not have been disposed of during the first week of the session. ‘To have done so would have saved the officers a good round sum in interest and the rank and file the necessity of sacrificing their claims for much less than they were worth, As the bill stands the army is limited to twenty thousand men and it is provided that four regiments of cavalry shall be re- eruived to their full strength for service on the Rio Grande and Indian frontiers, The republicans voted solid on this amendment, and were reinforced by the Texas delega- tion, Secretary McCrary's communication in regard to the maintenance of the army and the enlistment question was made the text of a short debate, in the course of which Mr. Hewitt spoke eloquently about Charles I. and John Hampden and ship money, all of which was y fine, and shows Mr. Hewitt to be thoroughly | sition in which they are now corralled up in English history, Among the bills introduced was the Texas and Pacific project, which is fathered by Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, and one asking aid for the Southern Maryland Railroad by Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, which was rejected at the last session. In the Senate Mr. Voorhees was sworn in as the successor of Mr. Morton; a memorial of the New York Chamber of Commerce against the repeal of the Bankrupt law was presented, and Mr. Maxey offered a resolution directing the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire into the condition of the Rio Grande frontier, upon which he promises a speech, The Army bill ought to be finished by the Senate this week. The Conkling Interview. The report of Senator Conkling’s recent conversation seems to have stirred up a livelier and more extensive commotion than has often followed a publication whose sub- stance was so trivial and gossiping. It has been reprinted, in whole or in part, by all the press of the country, with comments as checkered and various as the moods of the writers, "Judging from the Utica letter which we print this morn- ing it has roused a _ hornet’s nest in Mr. Conkling’s own town, and its sensational effect elsewhere, though not so great, is still very remark- able, especially in Washington. Like the passions in Collins’ ode, politicians of every stripe and description have been excited in one form or another, ‘‘possest beyond the Muse’s painting,” until Mr. Conkling him- self has canght the reverberations, And back recoils, he knows not why, Fen at the sound himself bas mar He yesterday rose in his place in the Senate and made a personal explanation, of which we do not quite perceive the point. He says that the report of his conver- sation was not what in newspaper parlance is called an “interview.” But the Henarp said that, too, in publishing it. He says that parts of it are not a verbatim repert of his language. The writer of the report did not pretend that it was, and was very care- ful to state that he wrote it ont from mem- ory after the conversation had ended. Mr. Conkling says that he could not have been otherwise than in a pleasant | mood at that time, when the New York republicans had done so well in the election. The writer of the report also represented him as having been not merely cheerful, but almost hilarious, rattling off his smart and pungent sayings with the easy gayety of a schoolboy. He says that ; things attributed to him occurred in various conversations, and here again the reporter exactly agrees with him, having given notice of the beginning and end of each episode taken from » conversation of a previous date to that of dast Friday, as for ex- ample :—‘‘At this point the listener recalled another conversation with the New York Senator on the subject of the back pay. I will repeat it here.” And then at the end of this digression :—‘‘But to return to the contemporaneous conversation.” With so many points of close resemblance between the personal explanation and the report we regret to find one in which they do not tally. Mr. Conkling does not recollect having said all that the reporter ascribed to him, but the reporter affirms that his memory is better in that particular than Mr. Conk- ling’s. He knows he did not invent, and it is possible that in so excursive, copious and rambling a conversation Mr. Conkling may have forgotten some of his unpremeditated effusions. As he does not select any par- ticular statement for denial it is needless to say more until he chooses to be more spe- cific. Of course he could not expect any reporter, writing from memory, without notes, to retain all the point and felicity of his own brilliant diction. As our reporter made no pretence of doing so we do not see what new light has been shed on this small subject by the Senator's personal ex- planation. The Russian Constriction of Osman's Army-+ Like a monster boa coiled around its prey the Russian army encircles that of Ghazi Osman, and by a process of constriction not unlike that of its reptile prototype it strives to crush the Turks. In a strict mili- tary sense the days for strategy have passed away from Ghazi Osman, and his safety now depends on the courage and endurance of his troops as well as on the number of pounds of beef and flour he can command for their support. If his troops lose heart he is lost; if the provisions give out his fate is as certainly sealed, The escape of the Turks at Plevna from the po- | depends almost entirely on the ability of their compatriots outside the constricting Russian lines to break or weaken the dendly folds, Every day that passes brings the end nearer and reduces the chances of escape for Ghazi Osman’s army, Unless Suleiman Pacha, Mchemet Ali and Reouf Pacha can make some effort to relieve Plevna its fall is merely a question of a few weeks, We hear of rumors from Constanti- nople that fighting favorable to the Turks has been in progress around Plevna for the past two days, but such rumors from that source have reached us before and have proved unfounded. ‘The fact is, that like the serpent whose coils crush its victim while, its head is free for offence or defence, the fighting head of the Russian army continues to snap up Turkish positions t> the westward and inflicts serious loss#s on the forces sent to crush it. The, attack on Sko- | beloff’s lines was a / failure; in fact a defeat for the Tvrks, because ‘the Russian commander kn/w of it beforehand and made his preparations to meet it. It therefore seeins unlikely that any impression has been made on the Russian lines by the besieged, and Orchanje, the nearest point to Plevna where the Turks could win a victory, is yet too disfant for such a success to seriously disturb/the operations of the siege. If the Russians waste theirstrength on useless assaults they may afford by one fail- ure the wished for chance of escape to Osman, Another Russian disaster like that of the first assault on Plevna would open a gap in the line of ipvestment through which the Turks would pour with overwhelming force and probably destroy all the Russian detachments westof Plevna, Such an escape | | J would crown Ghazi Osman with the bright- est laurcls. It would save the greater part of his best troops and might at once reverse the whole of the Russian successes recently gained at so much cost in blood and time. whe Health of His Holiness, His Holiness, who was supposed to be dying last week, has again recovered and agreeably disappointed, almost for the hun- dredth time, the expectations of those who had assembled around what they believed to be his deathbed. He was very ill Friday night; but, according to our special de- spatches, he revived slightly on Saturday morning. As night came on he again grew worse, and it was indeed believed the last hours of the venerable Pontiff had come. Our correspondent says that ‘the death rat- tle was heard and he seemed to be sinking fast.” But Sunday morning there camo another change for the better, and Monday he insisted not only upon performing his usual priestly and official duties, but upon receiving delegations that called upon him, ‘This devotion to duty on the part of His Holiness has become almost ao life sac- tific, No advice of his physicians, no remonstrance of his counsellors, can induce him to forego the most trifling detail of his sacred office, which will account for what may otherwise seem strange and unaccount- able in the reports of his condition—being at the point of death one day and performing his ministerial functions the next.. There can be do doubt that he is now seriously ill and his death may occur at any moment.

A young woman of much dramatic potentiality and ol great hisirionic possibilities won a rare triumph jast night atthe Fifth Avenue Theat She played Pauline in Bulwer’s romantic and super-sentimental play, “the Lady of Lyons.” For a yoar or more notices of Mary Anderson, a “leading Iady” hailiug from Louisville, Ky., have been floating hither in the exchanges, They were generally enthusiastic notices, and if thore is anywhere the old newspaper man sus- pects gush it is in the dramatic column of the Peoria Banner and tho Paducah Keview. Hence when it was aunounced that she had secured an opening in New York there was amo: the critical public a general muttering of ‘Well, we'll sce.” Tho Jarge and brilliant audience that thronged the theatre last evening was not, however, wholly made up of cynical censors of dramatic art, Tho story of tho lady’s youth and beauty had gone bofore her, She was not coming with the stamp of the golden calf from London or Paris upon her, it is true, but she was an American girl from the warm blooded South and that certainly gave her some claims, Atany rate she had a fairly sym- pathetic house to meet, despite the fact that it was resolved not to distribute its favor too lightly, It had, of course, an entire act of the play without ber, Tho laying of the well kuowo plot to entrap the hauguty beauty of Lyons tell on rather impatient eurs, and Mr. Tilden, iu one of tho proscenium boxes, divided attention with Mr, Eben Plympton as Claude Melnotte oa the stage.. At length Pauline appeared. Tall, willowy and young, a fresb, fair face, sbort and rounded, asmall, finely chiselled mouth, large, alinond shaped eyes of durk gray or blue, hair ol light brown, a long white throat, a sieader person met the eye and made a pleasant first impression. She was dressed in a tryiog costume of yellow silk and black velvet. She betrayed but little signs of nervousuess, and (hese only seen bere and there iv a posture that was not ull grace.

Still, while we admire me, Juvauscbek’s periormance in ‘Chesney Wold,’? wo must give the preference to her “Brimmhild,”? which reaches the sublimest heights ot the histrionic art, Mr. Fred Warde played Inspector Buck part which did not suit bi which be played with thorough cogscientiou: 3, if Mr. Taylor wanted to make bis audience feel like kicking Tulkingborn off the stugo ho accomplished his object, for he made bim a vory villain indeed, Miss Ada Gilman was excellent as Joe, but Mr. Le Clorcg had no idea of the character of the young man by thy name of Guppy. Tue other actors played their parts more or | acceptably, but only the ono wag carried bome aud stored away in the heart ot every auditor last night, and that was played by Mme. Jannuschek. He who misses s-eing this periormunce misses something that he will live for years before seeing equalled, if ever, WALLACK'S THEATRE —“‘fALSE SHAME,” Mr. Frank Marshall’s beautiful comedy, entitled “False Shame,” was reproduced last evening at Wal lack’s Theatre, before a large, critical and fashionable audience. The pluyis nota new ove to the theatre goers of New York, having been performed at Daly’s old Fitth Avenue Theatro just prior to its destruc. tion vy fire on the Ist of January, 1873, On that occasion tho part of the hero, Arthar, Lord Chilton, was playod by Mr. George Clarke, but last eventog the audience were fortunate exough to see the réle filled by Mr. H. J. Montague, the English original, for whom the play was writ- tev. Upon his endeavor depends the success or failure of the performance, inasmuch a8 he carries from beginnlog to end tho salient idea that ts expressed by the title. Falso Shame” ig essentially a one part play, und in this charactor of Lord Chilton centres all there is in it of plot or sentiment. ‘the other characters are but faintly . drawn, and aro intended chielly as foils to the leading This 18 Vigoreusly drawn, and affords a je scope for the display of exquisite cormedy and discriminating character acting, Ao aflected indolonce and a pretended cyaiciam aro the distinguishing traits of tho young ‘ord, but underly. ing these isu strong, brave, sturdy English nature, which crops out at the most unexpevted times and re. voals even before the déuoucment the admirable purpose of the author im depicting certain taulty phases of society. Mr, Montague repro sented this idea to perfection, and from the beginning to the end of the threo acts exhivited a combination of strength and delicacy im treatment of his difficult subject that elicited the warmest commendation. He was avly supported by Mr. E. Arnott, who, as Ernest Bragieivh, represented the gentleman villain of tho play; by Messrs, John Giloert, W. A. Eytinga and ©, E, Edwin as the Royal Bulls,” and by Mr. J W. Shannon as the Earl of Duashington, Miss Rove Coghlan played the part of Magdalen Athorielgh with spirit, aod Madamo Ponisi lent her aco customed charm to the character of Mrs, Howurd. Miss Stella Bonifuce, as Constance Howard was likewiso sprightly and filled no mean place in making the evening’s success. The scenery was vew, beautiful and worthy im all respects of the purpose of the management of Wallack’s to prezeat to the public only those plays which are calculated to elovato and refine. If one may judge from its hearty reception last evening ‘False Shame’ is likely to occupy the boads for many days, EAGLE THEATRE. Miss Lydia Thompson, with her liv.ly troupe of blonde burlosquers, appeared lust evening at the Eagle Theatre in jobinson Crusoe.” This burlesque is by no means untamiliar,to New Yorkers, but it i@ always so well acted by her troupe and so well put upon the stage by Miss Thompson that it seems to gain new life and vigor with oach successive repre- sentation, There was no exception to the rulo last i evening, as the hearty plaudite of a larga and fasbionable audience abundantly testified. Al- though many of the old bypiays on words which made it so laughable when it was rendered at Wallack’s last September are still retained there was much that was new aad sparkling and bright last evening in the joke: and geveral dialogue and song to give to it a charming freshocss throughout that mado the entertainment a most enjoyable ove. The fair Lydia was in ex. cellent voice and the liveliest of spirits, and of course was tho chicf attraction, Edwin Yriday waa, us usual, uproartously funny, bis laughable representa- tion of the savage after a little overdose of the ardent fwrly convulsing the audience at times, Mr. Fred- erick Mursball as Jim Cox deserved the applause with which he was greeted throughout the play. He has the true art of so uccompanying lines with a joke bidden under them by @ look or u gesture which acts like fe on an audience and makes tho tug plain to the dullest wight Mr. Saker’s part of bill Atkins did not give him tho sevpe tor hia abiiiiies that Marshall’s possessed, but for ail that he fairly svarod the honors with him during tno eveulng. Miss Alice Burville’s Polly Hopkins was a pretty pieco of burlesque coqueltishness, bot over done, and therctore well dove. Miss Elia Chipman as Angelina proved guite a success. The chorus gave evidence of good truinin: and there was pot a hitch 1m the play of any kin from beginuing to end. ‘Robinson Crusoe” will b¢ continued on the bills for some time, Judging from the success it met with last night. CHICKERING HALL—MISS HELEN PcTTER, Miss Helen Potter, whose namo has become some what familiar to New Yorkers through reports of het readings and personations elsewhere, madg her aébut at Chickering Hall last evening. Tho programme Was divided into two parts, tho first consisting of readings, the second of mimicry, In neither cid Miss Potter realize the expectations raised by her managers, though fairly clever and en- tertaining m both, The lady is not so young as to jusufy tho impression that her style is unformed, It is certainly untntished, however, and irregular, though she is possessed of talents of no moan ord iu their exp: jon she discovers an uneven 1s the legs tolerable becauso of tho hopes ra! her at the outset, She puts fortn her best firat, but these efforts are not invariably well sus tained. The selections read last eveniug were mosuy of « light sort, tending more towara the humorous than the forcetul or patheto In their delivery Miss Potter showed that she possesses a flexible, sympa= thelic voice, which she can and does use at times to good effect. Sue is vorsatile, too, though lapsing ab times in a rather inurtistic way in the imidst of some réle assumed, or drifting into her natural voice and manner irom some plane above or outgide of 1. These, 1t 18 true, aro generally slight faults, though they servo to mar what would other- wise be, no doubt, a very fine performance, Apart irom these considerations Miss Potter has what may be termed a sort of popular style. Her talent tor mim jery is quito good, Last night she gave character sketches of Anna Dickinson as Anne Boleyn, of Susan B. Anthony, of the late Char! Cushman’s Meg Merriles, and of John B. Gough & temperance lec- turer, A very good house greeted Miss Potter and bo a her readings aud personations very favors ably.
