glEjOAILY jgESS. ICnOBt AND rlOFEIITOU. official paper or THE CITY. FHIDAY SKPTEMBEIl The Free List and the Newspapers. Our citizens, and especially the journalistic pong, were edified by a highly virtuous article in the Enquirer of lust Sunday, on the theatrical free-list.

Perhaps it is hardly fair to hold papers responsible on week-days, for nny spasms of virtue that may afflict their ifsues on Sunday, as it is sometimes thought necessary to cover the slight fracture caused in the Sabbath by issuing a paper on Sunday, by a sanctimonious mantle on that day. Thus, when our new Democratic cotempo-rary lanched its Sunday issue, it had a very affecting leader on the blessed Sabbath, which ras calculated to convince good people that its sole object in issuing a Sunday paper was to keep the Sabbath holy; although, according to the law given from Mount Sinai to the Jews, every one connected with the Sunday paper, from editors to news-boys, would have to be taken without the camp and stoned. Te formed high hopes of a paper which started so devoutly, but the fit of grace only lasted through the first Sunday issue. Ever since that the Sunday reader has been fed nothing but partisan, political husks. So the Enquirer1 virtue may have been only its Sunday suit, which is not to be worn on working-days; for, if it really thinks the dead-head system an evil, nothing is easier than to reform it altogether, in its own case.

Why not show its faith by its works? Why not enforce Its preaching by example? Is it because its preaching is on Suuday, and its practice on week-days? Incase of acknowledged social and moral evils, they who preach reform are expected to show that their own skirts are clear. People do not justify their own immoralities because others will not reform. What would be thought of a man who preached agninst gaming, drunkenness or fornication, and who justified the practice of them in his own case, because all would net simultaneously reform? The En quirer is, at least, known on the free-list. If it is so objectionable as that paper represents, why endrre this? We never heard that the free-list was compulsory 1 Newspapers publish theatrical notices partly as matters of news, as they do notices of lectures and public meetings. Proprietors of theaters consider it for their interest to furnish editors and reporters with facilities for making these notices.

That is the foundation of the free-list at theaters. If it is abused, It is not because abuses belong necessarily to the system, but because some people will abuse any thing. It is fouaded on the interest of the theatrical proprietors. The notices which they receive in the papers give their performances more publicity than all their advertising; and every editor who has not imposed on the free-list, knows that the obligation is on the side of the proprietors of the theaters. If the proprietors do not think so, they have the right te cut off the free-list, and no newspaper man would have so little self-respect as to make that a cause of hostility.

As to the amount which the free-list is nsed by editors and reporters, it is merely-nominal. They are too busy to sit out a play, and their use of the free-list is usually to drop in for a few moments, a custom which is no infringement on the revenues of the theater, nor often on the seats, when they are needed. Immemorial custom has given public jour. nftls the right to criticize theatrical performances. It is, perhaps, the safest policy not to abandon any admitted rights of the press, reserving them for occasion, if it is preferred not to use them.

It is said by the Enquirer that there is as much propriety in criticising the goods and business of merchants, as the entertainment offered by theatrical managers. The same may be said of criticism of books, lectures, sermons and works of art. We are not disposed to curtail the privileges of the press quite so radically as that. There i in the nature of the case an impel -ibility in generally carrying out true criticism. Its standard is supposed to be the highest style of art, or, perhaps, an ideal perfection.

Artists are exceedingly rare who come np to the highest model. One or two in each line suffices for generations. Consequently, most theatrical criticism must be the application of a high standard to a performance which, compared with it, is inferior, although it may be quite up to the popular taste, and fully as expensive as the manager ought to risk. Consequently, criticism, after the highest standard, can only be constant disparagement. This might be true criticism, but it would not be just to the proprietor, who has invested at much money as he ought to in a company, and who has one fully np to the popular taste, and who may deserve to succeed, even though he have not a company of Gar ricks, or Keans, or Sid-don ses.

Therefore, we say that true criticism that is, after the highest standard is impracticable; so, also, it is neither useful nor desirable. Practical criticism can only be comparative, and must necessarily be without rules or standard, and indefinite; depending on the Judgment, taste and good nature of the critic, and graduated entirely by the world be lives in, instead of any foreign or ideal world; not assuming the stern aspect of the critic in "Hogarth's Laughing Audience," as if determined tohow that he could never smile, but willing lo be pleased when the audience are pleased, for they are really sovereign in this matter. The right of criti- cism is not the right to ruin the business of the manager, and the livelihood of actors, merely to show the independence of the critic or hiB bijh standard of art. The fact that the company are not Talmas and Jiarbels, is no warrant for this. The manager plays to suit the popular taste.

lie has a right to do so, and the average popular taste is as high a standard as the critic has any right to set np. rj There is in this city a newspaper habit of extravagant puffery, which does not belong to the free-list at all, but is a part of the job- printing business. The newspaper advertising of theaters is not extravagantly re mil-. nsrative, aad ordinary business notices of the programme are a sufficient consideration for the free-list; but their Job-printing is Urge, and this it is which hat degraded the theatrical department of the press. The style "onsista Intxbaustingths superlatives on or-diaary sad all performances, without tact or Jud gaunt, the job requisition being to pile it on tb.uk.

This makes it impossible to do jiwtfoe to real merit, and the oft deceived people haMuaally elaas the tbatters with the linmbuggery of the newspapers. TLesyste'm is as injurious to the managers as It is dishonest to ths people, au4 degrading to the press. Its effects may be, seen In this city, where, under the regular practice of the most superlative puffery, the receipts of theaters have regularly declined, and in particular cases the excessive eulogy has marked the most rapid decline. It is the strife for this job printing that has expanded the Cincin nati theatrical notices into a system of indiscriminate puffery. Managers suppose this vital to their success, and Buccumb to the threat implied by the demand, "The whole or none." And if it is divided between different offices, it begets a puffing competition.

This it is that newspapers desire to suppress by combined action. The mere free-list any of them can drop at any time without inconvenience. To drop the free-list, and keep up the job puffery, would be the shallowest affectation of impartiality. The Prince. We understand that the programme for the reception of the Prince has been satis factorily arranged.

The Mayor has given bis undivided aitention to it, and has for a day or two shown symptoms of a sense of uncommon responsibility. The entire police force have been ordered to appear in clean shirts and in the best coats they can muster or borrow, at the depot, at half-past nine o'clock to-night, to receive the Prince and keep the people straight. The city will be left to the care of Providence for the night, as it is supposed that "such divinity doth hedge a Trince," that no harm will be allowed to befall a city in which he is lodged-. The arrangement is said to include a ride through the principal streets, accompanied by the Mayor. The Committee of Reception at the Opera-house Ball was announced yesterday, and is such as to satisfy the most tender con science on that head.

The responsible editor of the Gazette has decided that it is not snobbish to rush to church on Sunday to see the Prince. It was the irresponsible editor that said it was. The responsible editor says he is going him self. This makes it all right; though at first thought, to the unregenerate, rushing to church for sight-seeing, would seem about as proper as ppening a circus with prayer, The Commercial feels the same for the peo ple in this emergency, that Mr. Titmouse felt for himself when he was invited to dine with the Duke an anxiety lest they will not be equal to the occasion.

We hope they will icei a uue Fense 01 tne importance ot the event, and that we shall be duly thankful. A Hair-Trigger Union. Most persons familiar with the Lakes under the ancient steamboat-runner regime. have heard of the polite runner who per-sunded the timid old lady to take passage on the steamboat Ohio, because she only warmed the water in her boilers a little, and avoided the dangers of hot water. It seems that if the Republicans will carry the election of Lincoln on the same plan, and only make the enthusiasm a little warmer, the South will stay in the Union.

Senator Iverson is reported as having recently said, in reply to an inquiry whether he was for a dissolution of the Union, in case of the election of Lincoln: "That would depend on circumstances. If air. Lincoln should be elected by a small vote, he (Mr. Iverson) would not advise a dissolution! If, however, the people of the North should show their hostility to the South, and elect Lincoln by a large majority, then be (Mr. Iverson) was for dissolution." The Republicans should show their moderation.

Let them not turn out as strong as they can, and when they vote let them do it deprecatingly and with a meek countenance! A large mnjority will be regarded as hostile to the South. A moderate one will be ac cepted as fraternal. The existence of the nion nangs on it. "Ureat Uod, on what a sienuer inreaa, sc. The Douglas Demonstration.

We think that those who saw the turn out last night, must be satisfied that there are Douglas men hereabouts, and that they are alive and kicking. The other parties may have a great many voters delicately done up and luxuriously stowed away, but none, nor all of them, can make such a turnout in public. The torch-lights were numbered by thousands. Compared with it, the Breckinridge party was like patience on a monument. The Breckinridge organ throws a little cold water, by saying that it is assured that "a levy was made on all the Bell lanterns in the city, and that they were carried by Bell men and boys." This may be so, but the prevailing features and accent were Hiberniun, and if the American Spread Eagle, which but a few years ago was so fierce and proscriptive, has smoothed his ru filed plumage and affiliated with the Hibernian lamb, it is gratifying evidence of the progress of fraternal feeling, and of the wonderful virtue of politics in muking bedfellows.

A Special Wonder. "Cleveland," of the Enquirer, is discover ing some places of equine incubation so immense, that they must have belonged to the mate of the Trojan horse. The most brilliant one is a horrible rumor about the House Chairman of the Committee on Printing, that is Mr. Gurley. The Superintendent of Public Printing, an executive officer, is required by the new printing law to purchase a Government printing-house.

Both Wen dell and Hives want to sell theirs, and it is expected that the Superintendent will find it necessary to buy one of them. Now comes the horrible mystery. Mr. Gurley, who has nothing to do with the purchase, is suspected of being favorable to both these printing. houses pretty good evidence that he is in favor of neither.

The Fairgrounds commenced filling at an early hour to-day, the people being anxious to see the Prince of Wales, who accepted an invitation from Captain Harpce, President of the Association, extended to him in Canada, to visit the Fair. The party arrived on the grounds at noon, having driven through the principal streets in company with the Mayor and a few prominent citizens. There was loud cheering when the Prince entered the arena, to which he gracefully raised his hat in acknowledgement. Passing around the urena, the royal party alighted in the center and ascended the second story of the pagoda, the band playing God Save the Queen," "Hail Columbia" and "Yankee Doodle."

At three o'clock the carriages entered the arena to convey the distinguished visitors from the grounds. After ridinst entirely around the arena, the Prince acknowledging the waving of handkerchiefs, by raising his hat, the party proceeded outside of the amphitheater and rode around the track.

The royal party were received every-where with demonstrations of high respect, but nothing obtrusive or offensive. Political News. Pittbburo, September 27. The Republican Convention held to-day was the largest assemblage ever convened in Pennsylvania. Hon.
