Peckaniff on the other, and who look upon a Sunday in Paris as a great grievanca against Christianity," at once thereby giting the inference that there is an "improper Christianity." as I suppose there is. I can remember when the Sabbath in this city was one of rest and peace, albeit a "roaring trade" was transacted the while. I mean that rest and peace of good will to all men and most women. I doubt if the people were any less moral then than they are now, when the you see big bills and signs to the effect that the tailors and tinkers, the bakers and butchers, the dry-goods, the hardware and the solt-goods men nd will have their shops, stores and establishments les dimanches, et fetes, apres une heure de l'apres-midi." The fact is, you can not measure Paris Sunday by London or New York, and certainly never by Boston or Rhode Island sectarian bushels, Can you measure any day in Paris by any foreign vessel? doubt If there is a sixty-seventh of the half of oneeighth per cent. of a single family in all Paris more humanized, or more Christianized, because there are more shops shut up on Sunday QOW than there used to ba tweaty-five years ago! Iam sure that the Puritanical Rue Scribe or the lofty Babbatarian Episcopalian air about Chaussee them d'Aun, (save with a except demure the British Cafe in the former and an English ap thecary in the latter, and both open and busy), have not made a single gamin read his title more clear to mansions in the skies.

I will wager the largest coin of this Republic's mint against a small Chilian bond that there has not been pair of twins or single orphan drawn into the ranks of the "British Salvation Army." or even the "Mothers' Meetings" through the Sunday closed shops of the Avenue de L'Opera in the past ten years! I am told every Banday morning, noon and night, by the pious ladies of Great Britain, who come over here largely in their national costumes sud prejadices, that they have produced an immense glow of pious zeal and religions fervor in Parisian farailles who look upon shop-keeping and proper in a correct way on the Sabbath! forget how many tons of printed tracts they hare distributed amid the "Improper" Christians of Paris, and I signally fail to find out how many of the benighted employes unchained on Sunday and lat loose upon society from the Magasins of Rue Beribe or the mansions of the Chaussee d'Autin are enrolled in the "Salvation Army." or are embosomed in You may hermetically seal every shop in Paris on Sunday, but I defy you to close a single pore of the "proper Christian" heart of these people by any such patent padlocks or sectarian seeling-wax manufactured by proselyting Pecksniffs or tearfu! Gummajes! Take up thy tracts and walk, fair British maiden of uncertain age! Go where glory waits thee. while pious zeal Inflates thee; wipe thy Chelsea blue eyes, and gnash not thy piano-kee teeth, nor stamp thine elephantine feet o'er Paris minus Christianity!" Paris on the glorious Sabbath bivouacs in the Bols or delights on the Boulevards; chatters and laughs in and around cafes, eats, drinks and is merry: gesLiculates in theaters and concerts, and is full of generosity to all men and women, though not Christian." How many of the pubile, brutal, drunken practices that mark Sunday, with the saturnalia of Saturday night, in London and every Knglish town, do you see in Paris at any bour, day or year? How much of the public and privute intoxicat on that marks New York on the Babbath is here ever seen? And sanctimoniotis and classic Bostonians! Peckmidlan and Aminidab Sleek Bostonians!

Does your stilted piety on Sunday make you more philosophical and more really religious than Parisians? After all, what is a day of rest? And what a day of relaxation?

It is a source of much worry to some pious people that they can not make all the world after their own fashion. True, there are many in Paris I should alter at once if the municipal and clerical authorities would only be wise in their geueration, and consult with me! by some strange infatuation, however, they do not seem inclined to do so, and I am compelled to believe that this city and this people have a willful conceit that they know how to inanage their own affairs better than I dol Fatal blindness! Terrible disregard of Rule Britannia and Hail Co.umois! Was ward France, given up to beauty and the sweetest fruit of your Paris Paradise! Fascinating and fickle France!

Old or new, on the banks of the Seine ur Ohio! The love of Life is evinced in Paris and the fear of Death as entertained the world over are two of the most difficult themes to handle I know of, and the longer we study them, the re diffsuit. they grow-particuiarly in Paris. Opinions differ on them just as much as newspapers here do In regard to. at the Ve sailles Chambers. The Golos says they are of The Debats says they are "of unlimited sion." -NEW ADVERTISING STYLE.

Talking of newspapers, it is well known that in this age, and particula ly in this city, a new and astractive atyie of advertising is desirable. The man who can not read the correctly need not be surprised to find the public unwilling to constantly read his oid method ut advert sine He must prove his intelligence admitting that of the peopie. The people lize freshness. newness, healthiness and something to interest. The Paris advertiser thoroughly appreciates this, and employs his mind to luvent the novel and the interesting an well as the effective, fished and arti-le.

Nowhere is the truth of this so evideut as in London and Paris, ench city so little of the past in reality. and so much of the present in fact.

As I have said, I went to the Galete Theater last Tuesday night to witness the performance prior to coming over here. The Parisian company is now the talk of the town-indeed, both London and Paris town. There was time when a company of French comedians occupled the Haymarket Theater to the ire and denatcintion of the native players, and when Aaron Hill, the long-faced beau with injectic wig and ruffles, wrote to the younger Rich thus: suppose you know that the Duke of Montague and I have agreed that I am to have that house half the week, and the French vermin the other half." Those were days of theatrical factions and operatic confusion. when prime-donne furiously fought upon the stage like demons, and light comedi-ne punched the "heavy mau's" head In public, and low rivalry gained high patrons in the Countess of Burlington, Lady Delwart and the Countess of Pembroke. The Paris press is teeming with London re poudence to an extent unprecedented, owing to the number of Paris journalists now taking notes and reporting events of the compauy of the Comedie Fraucaise.

International theatrical amity is in a state of gracious gush, A new style also in reporting has been inauggrated. The straight-laced rigidity of "calling a spade a spade" is no mea-ure of ability in mudern reporting tor the Paris press. A newspaper man nowadays, to be of suy use at all, must arise from the fribbie and of a penny-s-liner. He must impart nets and informawin cognate. comparative and suggestive.

Special Correspondence of the Enquirer. CATSKILL, NEW YORK, June 15, 1879. Almost within sight of the mountains here is Van Windsor-on-the-Hudson, where De Witt Clinton was born. Fully in sight and only twenty miles north of the mountains is the Winderbook Valley, where Martin Van Buren was born and lived. These two men had a long war, sud both were victorious.

Clinton ultimately triumphed over his enemy, but Van Buren survived him and Came to a course without an oppouent. TOMPKINS, CLINTON AND VAN BUREN, De Witt Clinton's theory of politics tended to merger or amalgamation of all parties into one, or to a third party, which should give him individual support. Experience has shown that an amalgamation of both parties in a free State is visionary, and that three parties never can exist long. Van Buren steadily labored to show that Clinton WAS not strict party man, but countenanced the Federals and WAS dissenter. Van Buren picked out the Speaker from one of the Western counties.

As be was an opponent of Clinton, the friends of the latter cho-e quasi Federalist. Soon the Clintonians and "as the Tammany (city) Democrats were called, refused to caucus together. Van Buren, however, would not oppose internal improvements, though his faction did, because he wauted the Western vote. Marcy wrote the political papers against Clinton. The Clintonians and Federalists elected John C.

Spencer for Speaker of the session of 1819. Rufus King, an old Pederalist, was now taken up by Van Buren and Marcy for the United States Senate, because he could beat Clinton's candidate. Clinton also ported him, aud he was unanimously re-elected. At this period of his life Van Buren was magnificent in debate--not only ingenious and interesting. but strong and eloquent.

He seldom made enemies, though he had good deal of antagonism to encounter. The sons of ander Hamilton and of Rufus King took part in the crusade against Clinton, on the ground that his was a personal party; that he wanted too much elevation, and ought to be repudiated by "highminded" chaps. John C. Hamilion. still living was one of the signers of 8 petition against Cilnton's re-election.

Clinton beat them. however, by a small m-jority, and was re-elected, but he lost the Legislature. The low class Federalists-that is, the very well of De Witt Chinton. and had no faith in Daniel D. Tompkins, who was dissipated and rather a demagogue.

The latter name has almost passed out of public mention, although Mr. Tompkins was twice Vice-Pre-ident of the United States, and very prominent for President. while De Witt Clinton, who never reached the Presidency, stands far higher La the self-respect of New York than either Tompkins, or Van Burel or Flimore. The back-bone of the support of De WitS Clinton WAS that he advocated large practical measures which would enrich his State and benefit his country. He had staked his whole political fortuues on the Erie Canal, while Tompkins nad complained, and demurred at it The southern district of the State was opposed to it because they would not receive its beuefis, but the Yankee farmers of Western New Yo never failed to come up to De Witt Clinton's support.

ALthough elected, Clinton was almost solidly opposed by the politicians or the old Republican party. VAN BUREN QUITS ALBANY FOR WASHINGTON. Clinton undertook tO antagonize roe's Administration, but without much success. Clinton sent mes-age tO the Legislature, Inclosing 8 letter of Van Baren to Henry Meigs, a Cougre-sman, saying: "Unless we can alarm the Clintonians by two or three prompt removals, there is no limiting the injurious couPoquences that may result from it." By this letter the Governor sought to show that Van Buren was using the Administration and its offices to anuoy him. In 1821 Van Buren, who had gone out of the state Sen nominated to the United States Senate.

He had been for several years the active and moving spirit of his party in New York, and his restless mind sought larger theater than Albany. His opportunity was splendid: Clinton was segrogated in New York, and out of concord with his party, neither Fedetalist or a Republican; while Tompkins was in debt, irregular and out of health. It Van Buren could ouly keep DeWitt Clinton down, he bad sure thing in New York for haif a generation. Clinton's council now removed ail Clinton's friends, and made William L. Marcy Adjutant-General of the State.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE IN NEW YORK. Next came the revision of the Constitution of the State in 1821-one of the greatest revolutions of peaceable kind wh ch has happened in 8 large Commonwealth. It cont ined such men as Van Buren Henry Wheeton, Vice-President Tompkius, Kufus King, Chancellor Kent, Ambrose Spencer, Peter Jay and Stephen Van Rensselaer. Tompkins presided. Van Buren wanted only two years' term for Governor.

During the debate on "universal suffrage" Chancellor Kent said: gr wth of the City of New York is enough to startle and awaken those who are pursuing the ignis fataus of universal suffrage. It is rapidly swelling into the unwieldy popultiou, and, with the burdensome pauperisin of an European metropolis, New York is destined to become the future London of America, aud in less than a century, with the operation of universal suitrage, and under skillful direction, will govern the State. Universal sutrage once gr-nied is granted forever, and never can be recalled. There is no retrograde step in the rear of Democracy. We stund, therefore, this moment.

on the te, OIl the very edge of the Van Buren's speech in favor of universal suffrage is one of the greatest arguments of his legislative history. He Was one of sne authors of the Convention itself avowedly to extend the popular rights. He opposed the freehold estate qualitication to elect Siate Senators, which Judge Kent and Judge Spencer advocated. This opposition, of increased Van Buren's popularity and drew to him the support of the multitude in the cities. which had prev ou-ly been partially disqualified.

The new Constitution opened the way for Van Buret, whose per-onal instrumentalit es had been previously selected. He now bad the suffrage which tie wanted, and, with one naud on New York C.ty and the other O11 the rising manufacturing towus, looked to the success of his party for mans years to e.me. The Council of Appolutment aiso abolished by Van Buren's influence, and the militia officers elected by the troops. At that time ubere were nearly six thousand seven hundred civil officers appointed by the old Counell independent of the Governor. This Convention closed the career of its presiding officer, Tompkins.

Having been driven out of pince and degraded from the last office he had (of Commissioner of the Canal), the people aroused themselves in De Witt Clinton's favor, and without much distinction of party elected him by a tornado for the last time with inajority of nearly seventeen thousand votes over his predecessor. Young Clinton also nad the Legislature This was in 1824. Van Buren was greatly exercised. thouzh as smooth as ever, when, as if to oblixe him, Governor Clinton died in the Executive chair.

Rufus King retired from pubLie life in 1825. Jobu Quincy Adams, having offered De Witt Clinton the mission to England, made Alfred Conkling, the father of Roscoe Conkling, United states District Judge. On the 24 of November, the Erie Canal was opened from Budalo to the Hudson. THE DEAD LION. Van Buren did not say word either for or against John Q.

Adams' Admial-tration, and cautioned his friends to a policy of non-committal; the only que-tion was against or for De Witt Clinton. De Witt Clinton died just after the anti-Masonic excitement in New York, which raised up to opportunity his natural successor and viudicator, William IL. Seward. He died less than two sears after John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who pired on the same day of the year, July 4th. Van Buren pronounced a smouth oration over Clinton, raging about their loug fight: It is now immaterial what was the character of those collisious.

They have been turned to nothinc. and le-s then nothing. by the event we de plore, and I doght not that we will, with oue voice and one heart, yield to his memory the weil-deserved tribute of our respect for his name, and our warmest gratitude for his great and signal services. For myself, sir, so strong. 80 sincere, and 50 engrossing is that feeling that who while he lived never-D0 never- him any thing, now that he is falien am tiy tempted to envy him his grave with its honors." A greater political rivairy has never been waged New York State, and that between Burr and Hamilton was a sinali alfair compared to 16 GOVERNOR VAN.

Clinton being dead, the whole field was open to Van Buren. Having bechine the chief Senatorial supporter should of Jackson, it was resolved that Van Buten be the Jackson candidate for Governor New York Yet the memory of De Witt Clinton went to Van Buren's injury, and. except for the anti- Masonic ticket in the fieid, Van Buren would probably have been defeated. Hi- inaugural message referred respectfully to the deceased Chaton, aud 16 was full of such words IS bumble efforts," and the in-trument, The Governor, with the Presidency ciose before him, must needs abase himself to his be.ly. His D-rt was to go through the Governor's fuuction non-committal on every thing, so as not to injure his Presideutial chances.

Silas Wright, who had been in the conspiracy to humiliate Clinton, WAS made Van Buren's Comptroller. He came right out the woods from the region about Vermont. It Was Van Buren's De Witt, who gave classical names to so much of the interior of New York, such as Scipio, Remus, Ovid and Camellus.

Marcy had previously announced the doctrine in the United States Senate "To the victors belong the spoils." The banking interest was in favor of Demucratic party, and the organization was tight at every point. Silas Wright was sent to the Senate in place of Marcy, Dix was made Secreta state, Flagg Coustable ot the State, and one of Van Buren's jaw students and partners, Benjamin I F.

As President, Van Buren WAS decidedly more positive and bold than he had previously been. He showed almost scientific particularly in finance, though his Administration tended with a panic.

He posed a monument to Clintou at Albany, but it has not been erected. During the summer of 1639 President Van Buren visited his native State, stopping at all the principal cities and villages, and speaking to great numbers of people. He had very few personal enemies, though many opponents.

He was oue of the most courteous men who ever held the office, aud had a fine, natural taste at the table. in the presiding chair, and in debate. Yet his visit home did him injary. His law pupil, Eamunds, had the bad taste to refer to his party friends when Van Buren expressed his strong attachment to them particularly. The Whigs then said he was on an electioncer pg tour for a second nomination.

Special Correspondence of the Enquirer. COLUMBUS, June 17, 1879. I lately met one of the old band of Ohio Liberators, or Liberty they preferred to call themselves -the men who, twenty-five or thirty, years ago, helped to manage the underground railroad between slavery and freedom, or, geographically speaking, between Kentucky and Virginia soil and Canada This gentleman WAS Mr. Charles 8.8. Grifting, now of Pittsburg, formerly, however, of Co umb ans County.

I had known him for many years, but either his modesty or my stupidity had never brought out the fact that he was an historical character in having been one of the small band of original Abolitionist who fought slavery on the husting as far back as 1844 when Biruey was a candidate for the Presidency against Henry Ciay on the anti-slavery principle. He is an intelligent man of sixty, perhaps, and the way having been once opened to reminiscence he becomes one of the most interesting talkers I ever met. He fought the anti-slavery battles of those days along with Parker Pillsbury, William Lloyd Garrison, John and Oliver Brown, Sojourner Truth, and a score of others whose names are not lost from THE PIONEERS OF THE MOVEMENT. "Ours was a little band in those days." said Mr. Grifting, we stuck well together, aud kept fighting for the right, as we viewed it And we had the satisfaction of seeing it triumph in the end." you know John Brown personally?" well, He was one of our baud long before he went to Kansas, and while he was living out there he often came back to the Reserve.

I remember one time he came back with horse that he had be, called it. though stolen others would have said, from a pro-slavery man in Mis soury. That horse was sold at auction on the I street in Cleveland. There was no attempt to keep secret how he got it. It was perfectly understood that the money he got for it was to help old John in his fight then against the Border Ruffians in Kau-as." is your estimate of Old John Brown?" "Ho was as brave a min as ever drew breath.

He was encentric, but not crazy. He had 8 con suming idea in life, and that was to free the black man. He had no other aim. When we used to campaign through the Reserve, we had two kinds of men-men of words and men of action. Parker Pillsbury was a man of words: no man who ever lived could speak more bitterly of the cause of slavery or eloquently of freedom than he.

Joba own WAS A man of action; no one would brave greater perils or incur more risks to lead black mAn from slavery to freedom than be. I've seen him come in at night with gang of five or six blacks that he had piloted all the way from the river, hide them away in the stables maybe, or the garret, and if any body WAS following he would keep them stowed away for weeks. He would sppear on the streets without saying word to any one about it. But let any slaveholder discover the whereabouts of his charges and attempt to take them back, and he would fight like a lion." JOHN BROWN'S PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. of his military think be hadn't much of military ability.

He had seen the rough and tumble of pioneer life and knew what it was to fight from every point. But still be didn's know any thing of the science of war. He got a lot of pikes made down at Troy, New York. Of what account could they be to him? Pikes are a weapon of a former generation, and darky would be just as formidable with a pitchfork in his band as a pike. But still his campaign was not so chimerical as many people think.

You Sco, be WAS WAS forced to make his move on Harper's Ferry week sooner than he had intended to. He hadn't fixed up his arrangement with the blacks yet and he was driven like a rat into hole there st Harper's Ferry. His original plan was to move with his force down the Bine Ridge, giving the slaves their freedom as he went along, and adding the men to his little army. He intended to make a track south about thirty miles wide, running right througa to salt water; then with that to start from. he would more both east and we-t.

gathering in the slaves, but killing none of the whites unless he had to." did you see John Brown last before execution?" "He was out in Ashtabula County. I think it was in April or May of that year, 1858; then he was up in Portage County some time in the summer. That was the last time 1 saw him alive." you know others of his several of them. I knew Realf, who was their Secretary of State, as he was called. 1 knew the ppic brothers, both of them.

One escaped. but the other Was hanged and after he was hanged we brought his body back to Columbiana Conuty, where they bad lived, burled it at Salem. Never have I seen, before or since, a funeral where there was such a crowd or so much feeling. His grave is marked by a monnment now." THE OTHER COPPIC. The reference of Mr.

Grifting to the Copple who was hanged brought to my mind a little incident I had heard of the other one of the same name. of While in Michigan few weeks ago, I visited Lansing. the State Capital, stopping at a hotel where a son of Judge Isbell, formerly Chief Justice of lows, is employed as clerk Judge Isbell was an Ohio man, and married a niece of Sam Medary. Then be moved to lows, and was on the Supreme Beuch of the State at the time of the John Brown raid. When Ed Coppic escaped from Harper's Ferry he fled to Ohio, and upon arriving here was sent further West, this sine Mr.

Grifting going with him as far as Chicazo. When he arrived at Des Maines he light reruge at the home of Judge Isbeil. Te Virginia authorities had been able to keep track of him though, and found out that be WaS in Iowa somewhere. Governor Wise is-ned requisition ou the Governor of Iowa for Coppic's arrest and return, and the day it reached as the Governor of Iowa was the day Coppic reached Judge Isbel's house. The Governor went to Judge Isbel to have the answer framed aud read the requisition aloud to him, with Coppic in the adjoining room and hearing eve: word.

The Judge, however, didn't allow his feelings to betray him and assisted in framing the reply to Governor Wise's demand. Coppie was kept in his house for weeks, until an opportunity offered for him to go further West without JOHN BROWN'S FAMILY. you know other members of the Brown family, Mr. Gritting? 1 have been told that all of them were extraordinary characters?" Yes, I knew them IL. His son Johe, who now lives Put-in-Bay, is much like his father in resolution and taciturnity.

Own Brown, the one who used to be on Jay Conke's Island, was wounded and taken prisoner in the Kansas troubles. He had to en dare a great deal of suffering, and I expect it in- at jured him somewhat. But there was a brother of old John-that was Oliver-who was strange character." he an Abolitionist, too?" yes. They were all Liberty men. Oliver WaS the most original perhaps of them all.

He used to live up lu Geaugs County. He burned pulpit there once, I very well remember." was it was in the country there, and at the time we were making our anti-slavery fight. Oliver nad got a big farm and on one corner of it a little church had been built for ne ghborhood worship. was really on his land, as no deed bad ever been made transferring it to the tittle congregation who worshiped there. The church were not disposed to share it with us Abolitionists on egnal terms, though it was built with the understanding that it should be for joint use.

One Sunday after noon we had arranged to have an anti-slavery meeting there, and when we arrived we fouud the preacher boding forth. Oliver Brown dian't like this, and asked the preacher to vacate, but he wouldn't do it. Then we went out in the yard and held our meeting, and soon had most of the congregation with us. The preacher announced that he would preach again the next Sunday, but Oliver determined 5e shouldn't So during the week be run a fence around it. rail fence, not very high, but still high enough turn stock.

Sunday morning be was the first man to get in the church. He took with him basket full of bowlders and two or three good clubs and prepared to hold the fort. About ten o'clock the congregation began to arrive in their wagons and buggies. When they saw that fence they commenced to get mad, and it wasn't five minutes before it WAS swept sway. But when they got to the door it was locked.

Going around to the window they saw Oliver in there, with bymn-book in hand, marching up and down the aisle singing: from my Thoughts Vain World They called to him to let them in, but he took no notice of them. Then they commenced to batter away at the door, when he with a loud voice warned them to leave him alone, that he was worshiping in his own house and his own way and would not be disturbed. Still they tried to get in. but he pointed to his armament of clubs and stones, and they stopped for the time. In the afternoon, however.

they got into the church, and that made Oliver so mad that he vowed he would burn the pulpit 'with fire and brim The next day, toward sunset, I came along there, and sure enough and be had loosened the pulpit from the floor dragged it out in the yard, and was just about to set fire to it. Several of the neighbors had gathered there, but none of them were willing to have a difficulty with Oliver, and he set it on fire. While it was burning, little old man who felt wrought up by 1t brought out the pulpit Bible and asked him why he didn't burn it well. you wait to burn your Bible, neighbor, just throw it on replied Oliver; I won't do it, because I have against the Bible. If it will give you any comfort, just throw it After he had burned the pulpit we had no more trouble about getting the use of the church.

They had preaching there and we had our anti-alavery meetings, but there was no conflict afterward." anecdotes of the could go on with many more Brown family, as told by Mr. Grifting, but space wilt not permit at this time. CALIBAN. B. GRATZ BROWN.

Interesting Letter From the Ex ernor on Tom Ewing. No. 11 and the Present Political Situation. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Mr. George C.

Biugham, the distinguished artist, has written a long letter denouncing in severe terms the nomination of Hon. Thomas Ewing Governor of Onio on account of his Order No. issued when in command on our Western border. He describes him as "at heart a selfish and pulou- despot. and a Democrat only for place A long friend hip for Mr.

Ewing and good deal of intimacy with bit during the have impressed me with an entirly, different opinion of his personal character, his political convictions were put on only for place power he has certainly aired them in a State where Dem cracy has not been exactly the road to pointment, as in Missouri, and has clung to party through Afteen years of defeat, when could as readily have led in the councils of nation had he chosen to give in to Republican government. That Mr. Bingham is penetrated with a very tistic view of the subject matter of this order shown in his appeal made in behalf of "a helpless and disarmed and his recomme ton to the Democracy of Ohio to present him their bauners driving before him terror-stricken mothers, grandmothers aud whom deemed mo 6 woriny of his flushing blade than men in arms who could give as well as receive blows." This will do for canvas, but scarcely print. In fact 1t was ouly a few days since, in visit to the studio of Mr. Bingham at Columbia see his exquisite painting of Musidora, that, notioing his No.

11" which hung upon the wall, some conversation ensued wherein he made this remark: The public generally dues not know what constituted great atrocity of that order: it was that it forced Un on families as well as rebel families to abandon thei home- and all." Now. General Ewing wa Federal officer at that time and, however mistaken he may have been in this as a remedy for that vindictive border feud, yet the application of it impartially to both sides must acquit of any wrongful intent and show that he conceived it to be matter of military urgency, if not necessity. There were many measures sdopted by the opposing forces during the war, and especially in our own State, not at all calculated to win approval in time of profound peace: but, if the advocates of a policy of reconciliation, for which Mr Bingham has been distinguished, and of Democracy, in which he equally pronounced, insist thnt be by-gones. why shall crimination cease against those who have worn the blue equally with such as have donned gray? The very antithesis, too, which Mr Bingbam makes in his letter by virulent thrust Confederate leaders, while it acknowledges need of counter-point to such an attack at this day. yet does not give any additional weight to criticism upon Mr.

Ewing. It is not always that the qualities wh ch commend their posse-sor civil station are those that win admiration in WAr, and at present it is certainly in the former light alone that Mr. Ewing's tituess as a candidate of party is to be judged of That he great abilities, strong Democratic sympathies, much openness of expression, and large acquaintance with the workings government, all know. That he will prove equally able and trustworthy in Executive and Parliamentary position, those will have most confidence who kuow him best. And for one 1 am free to say that.

although pot acquainted with Mr. Foster his competitor yet were I in Ohio I shonid unquestionably give Mr. Ewing my support, for no other reason, because the success of Foster would go far make possible the re election of General Grant, what wonld be still might render probable the elevation of Secretary Sherman to the Presidency. This latter would install officialism prepared to crystalize into 8 permanent policy for our people rose now dominant ideas of National Banks, financial contraction, protective duties, ocean subsidies, and railroad rings, which have so plundered the great agricuitural sections at the bidding of orzanized capital as to make the States mere provinces tributary to the power throned in Wall street. Of that system Secretary Sherman is the incarnation, and his triumph or that of Mr.

Foster. who is NOcredited as his representative in Ohio, would, my opinion, pave the way to a supremacy fatal any general oqualized prosperity in this country for tong years to come. Respectfully. GRATZ BROWN, ST. Louis, June 16th, 1879, THE HEATHEN CHINES.

How He Treats Naive Christians in His Own Country. (Foochow Another outrage, more serious than any we have yet recorded tu these pages, has been perpetrated on the native Christians and preachers of the English Church Mission in the town of Yik-kau. On the 2d day of the present Chinese moon (24th ultimo) the native preachers and several of the Christian res dents of the district were induced by the Mandarins to pre-ent themselves at the town of Yik-kau for the purpose apparently of holding a friendly consultation with the Mandarins and literati, in order to make some arrangement with refe ence to the outrage on the Mission Chapel. which we noticed in a recent issue. The literati at once demanded written engagement from the Christians that they would at the expiry of the present sear abandon their chapel at Yik-kau and their right to exercise their religion in that town and its neighborhood.

This. of osur-e, the Christians refused to agree to, but at the same time they expressed their willingness to sign an agree ment to the effect that if they were found guilty of doing any thing wroug or disgraceful they might at once be expelled from the town. They asked for nothing beyond the restoration to them of their chapel and their right to be tolerated as Christians. The Mandarios appear to have approved of these proposals, and to have applauded the Christians for their conciliatory bearing and conduct. But the gentry and titerati would have nothing less than their expulsio from the place.

The meeting then broke up, and the Christians retired to a lodglux-house in the town. Very shortly afterward the Mandarins' a'a m-gong sounded the hundreds people rushed, nt the sigual, to the lodginghou-e where the Christians had retired for the ght, dragged four of them into the street, bent them most barbarously with all manner of weapous aud inflicted severe wounds on the unfortunate men. leaying them. as was supposed, dead. Two of these poor men were then thrown like dog- into the river, but managed to scramble to the other bank, and crept away till they were found by the yamen runners, who placed them in a sedan-chai and vent them to the nearest mission stat.on in the district The other two men were taken up as dead, and the brutal literati, aided by their hired foliowers.

set fire to their clothing and queues. These two sufferers were ultimate rescued, and also sent in a chair to the nea est mission station. From the station they were sent on by boat to this port, where they arrived on the 20th of March, and were placed in the Mission Hospital under the care of Dr. Taylor. The unfortunate men were, we are informed.

unable to walk or stand when they arrived in Foochow, and one of them was delirious and is 8thil in a very precarious condition. The outrage on the chapel at Yik-kau some few weeks ago WaS brought by the English Missionaries to the notice of H. B. Consul, who, we learn, agreed to represent the case to the Chinese authorities, As usual, the native officials promised to examine into the matter. Instead, however, of punishing the offenders, they wrote complainingly to H.

K. Consul that the matter was greatly exaggerated, and made the usual excuses, but meanwhile did nothing. B. Cou-ul appears to have taken the same view of the case as the Chinese anthorities and, we bear, has censured the missionaries for having reported (as the Mandarins are pleased to term it) such an insignificant affair! New Hampshire for Grant. York New Hampshire Stalwarts aunounce as decidedly as they can, without a formal and positive avowal, that their first choice for a successor to the fraud in the Waite House is the hero of Appomattox.
