THE TOLITICAL FUTURE IN THREE STATES. -From the tf. T. Timre. The tie men ts are being moved in three States with reference to approaching political conijiliciitionR, acd we are thus afforded a fresh illustration of tb constant necessity of foresight in our political thought and aotion. There is no other country in the civilized world in which the mind of the people is kept BO conhiantly and thoroughly cnritjrport with present as well as future political neces sities. No sooner is one event decided than the electors begin to study the future, and to calculate its probabilities, its necessities, and the persons who ought to deal with it. Every body, from the highest to the lowest, feels a personal interest in these issues, either through individual ambition or a desire for the general good. The result is that when any great political question is presented for definite action, the people are prepared to act intelli gently upon it, and in a great degree to oon trol their representatives in its decision. The people of Maine are now busily dis cussing the question of a successor to Sena tor Morrill, whose term expires on the 4th of March next. The merits and demerits of a number of candidates are being canvassed, and the prospect is that the struggle will be a triangular affair, like Jack Easy s duel, and perhaps time will produce some four or five contestants. Mr. Morrill, Speaker Blaine, Governor Chamberlain, and Governor Israel Washbnrne, Jr., have all been strongly re commended, but Mr. Blaine is reported to have declined a contest. The State is fortu nate in having Buch an abundance of good material from which to choose, and still more fortunate in being able to oonduct the can vass without that bitterness of feeling which usually attends personal struggles. In Vermont a lively discussion is going on as to the Republican candidate for Governor. Among the names most prominently put for ward are those of Hon. Francis Billings and Hon. Julius Converse, both of Woodstook, and both "West side" candidates. The "East side" presents Hon. A. L. Miner, of Man chester, and Governor Hendee. Apart from the question of locality,' Hon. John W. Stewart, . of Middlebury, has recently been brought forward as a new candidate. Ver mont is so nearly unanimous in its Republi canism, that the struggle is ended in the nominating convention, and the poll is a mere matter of form. In Ohio both parties have actively begun the canvass for the State election, which takes place on the second Tuesday in October. The Republican Convention is called for the 10th day of August, and the Democratic Con vention for the 19th of June. The State officers to be chosen are Secretary of State, Judge of the Supreme Court, member of the Board of Public Works, and Controller. The greatest interest, however, centres in the . members of Congress. It is understood that Messrs. Schenck, Winans, Upson, Garfield, Bingham, Ambler, and perhaps others on the Republican side, are candidates for re-election, as also Mr. Cessna, Democrat. Judge Welker, of the Fourteenth District, declines a renomination, and Hon. James Monroe, of Oberlin, is urged to suoceed him. The result of the canvass is assured, although the De mocrats promise a lively fight. With the colored vote which will be at least five IhnnRnnd solid lletmblican the State is counted good for at least fit teen thousand Republican majority. In each of these States there is every prospect of that harmony and success which ought to attend our party contests in every Slace where we have won victories before, o dispassionate man can doubt that the Re publicans have, upon the whole, deserved well of the country. They have endeavored to carry out the will of the people with fidelity, and in the teeth of innumerable obstacles. The President has honestly fulfilled his pledges, and avoided all those errors into which his immediate predecessor fell, to the great disturbance of public affairs. We be lieve, then, that we may appeal with confi dence to the people in all the approaching elections. We have yet many things before us to accomplish, but what we have aohieved in the past is the best guarantee for our work in the future. With reduced taxation, and a revision of that part of our revenue system which checks rather than enoourages the prosperity of the nation, we shall be able to say that no other existing organization could or would have done naif so much to promote tne common good. II itepubncans in (Jon gress will only do their duty, we need not fear that the country will indorse them. AN INTERESTING AND DOUBTFUL QUESTION IS MR. GREELEY A PRO FANE SWEARER ? From the A'. Y. Sun. Among the many side issues which have arisen during the trial of the Mcrarland case. oue of the most singular is the question whether the Hon. Horace Greeley doos or does not swear. We do not overstate the matter when we say that the public take an unusual interest in this subject. The great. though of late rather low-toned journal which Mr. Greeley oonduots is probably read by a larger number of evangelical clergymen than any other secular newspaper in tne country. and the fame of its founder has extended be yond the boundaries of this republic Common rumor, too often disposed to ill, would perhaps decide this question against Mr. Greeley, in advance of a fair and full investigation of the facts. For example, it was charged, and even believed, that Air, Greeley, while a member of the late Consti tutional Convention, and within the very pre cincts of the State Capitol, swore vehemently at Colonel Duganne, another distinguished member of the convention; and that when he finally departed from the hall, shaking the ust from hia feet in condemnation of the dilatory proceedings of his colleagues, he left stream of expletives behind which casual listeners mistook for swearing. But all this, as we bare said, is a matter of rumor, and is not auDDorted by any legal proof. Though clergymen, according to the canon law. may be arraigned, and even condemned, on common rumor, no manager of a progres sive journal in this enlightened era, and especially not tne pnuosopuer oi me i rwunn, need submit to be irieu oy a ruie wnicu origi Bated in the dark ages of monkish supersti tion. Mr. Greeley's case is to be disposed of on ita merits; and if he is to be rudely ac cused of profanity, he is entitled to the benefit of every reasonable doubt which can make in bis favor. According to this just rule every body who knows Jar. Greeley would, at tne first blush, render a verdict in his favor with out leaving their seats, except for one or two careless answers given by him while a witnas ui the Mcl arland trial. Sometime ago one Isaac G. Reed, Eij., author and journalist, published over his own signature a statement that Mr. Greeley, in the course of a conversation about the Rich ardson McFarland affair, and while laboring with intense feeling, uttered several nouns. verbs, and adjectives say six or a dozen which, in ppite of the most charitable con struction that could be tnt upon them. amounted to swearing. While on the stand as a witness Mr. Greeley was asked, in refer ence to the truth of Mr. Reed's statement: "Did you swear in the expression that you made use of? Did you make use of any oath?" To wbich Mr Greeley promptly replied: Oath? No, sir! His case now stood upon a rock, and, as the lawyers say, he Bhould have rested. But he was further asked: "Didn't yen Bwear in conversing with Mr. Reed?" Quite off his guard, and withont seeming to see that his answer could be twisted to hU prejudice, he responded, "Not once where he bos published five times." When further pressed with the question, "Did you swear at all?" he replied with that candor which ever marks his character: "I miht have said once something to that effect." After record ing this answer, the reporter of the trial adds, ns he might well do, "Sensation!" Nothing, however, is absolutely proven by these admissions: and with candid mind they will hardly outweigh Mr. Greeley's own explicit declaration, made a few minutes previous, that he did not make use of any oath in the course of the whole interview. But even this does not dispose of the sub ject as it ought to be disposed of. Here we have the Hon. D. C. Henderson of Michigan, who certifies in the Allegan Journal that he has "held for several years intimate confiden tial relations with Mr. Greeley," and that the last-named gentlemen "when he is mad will swear like a trooper in good plain Saxon English." This declaration from such a source for Mr. Henderson seems to regard swearing as rather commendable throws the whole matter into doubt again, and, we are sorry to say, leaves the matter as much befogged as ever. We are aware that men of high standing will sometimes swear, when they are brought under unexpected mental excitement. General Washington swore at Monmouth; General Sherman swore at Chickasaw Bluffs; and ueneral hneridan swore turiously at Cedar Creek. But profanity is none the less an ungentlemanly and wicked thing; and we are glad to testify that General Grant never swears. If it be true that Mr. Greeley some times gives way to this shocking practice, we trust that he will lose no time in beginning to fight within himself against it until he shall conquer his evil predisposition, and achieve a thorough and lasting reform. Why Bhould a good man like Horace Greeley be habitually a profane Bwearer ? We hope he is not; but if he is, we entreat him to go to work at once and earnestly to overoome the depravity which leads to such a habit. CUTANEOUS DISEASES AMONG THE DOCTORS. From the K: V. Tribune. When the Hon. James Brooks turned his mind to corsets and hair-pins, we hoped we should hear no more shin-bone speeches in Washington. JJut tne eminent advocate of the Caucasian race who represents the Eighth district of New York seems to have left his mantle to the American Medical Association, and that eminent body has been bearing tes timony against cutaneous pigments and prog nathous jaws with a fury which would do credit to a whole temple full of raving Sybils. The question seems to be whether local so cieties which admit colored physicians to membership are fit to aniuate with the Ameri can Medical Association. Judging from the proceedings of the last few days, we should say the question ought to be whether the American Medical Association is worthy to affiliate with them, and our impulse would be to answer, No. The gentlemen who have made such a ridiculous pother in this highly aristocratio and exclusive society have such horror of a dark skin that they won't even sit in the same room with a white man who has been sitting in the same room with a black man and now much further back they extend the ban we really don't know. Whether they fear that color is contagious, like smallpox, or be lieve that the innate infamy of the Afrioan race is so awful that it degrades every man who comes for a moment in contact with a negro, is a point upon whioh they have not yet enlightened us. They have given no reason why a physician who is qualified by education and character to praotise his pro fession should be disqualified merely by a dark skin to attend the meetings where his professional brethren exchange experiences; - . i l 'i ii : . oi course tuev uuveu t. iur lueio in uu rowuu they have only shown that in the estimation of a certain class of members of the associa tion a colored man id almost as bad as a homceopathist, and that in the estimation of the public a certain class of American physi cians are very little better than donkeys. A CRITIC'S RECOMPENSE. From the rail Hall Gatettt. At last, after many years of patient ex- pectation and more than one disappointment, Jules Janin we bad almost written the vene rable Jules Janin has attained the great object of a life devoted, with rare simplicity and singleness of purpose, to literary work and literary culture. In these latter days it is seldom that one meets with a man to whom the constant labor of his pen is at once a business and a pleasure, who writes to live and lives to write, and who, in writing and reading, rinds the constant and only ocoapa tion and delight of a life exempt from vulgar ambition, content with a modest and let tered ease and the "high society" of his library. Such is this veteran man of letters whom the French Academy has so tardily elected to a vacant chair. For more than thirty years, undisturbed by revolutions, uu tua&eii uy puuiiuiu vicistmuaes, undepressed by publio calumny, Jules Janin has con i i i i:.r i . , . , tributed to tne ueoats, Monday after Uon dav. a seven days' his tor t of tha Parisian stage; and tne volumes in which he has col lected these studies of the dramatic art and literature of his time will be at onoe the most ef 9 e faithful and the most agreeable reoord of a period in which Victor Hugo fought and won the battle oi tne romanuo arama; and Wile Mars yielded her sceptre to Rachel, the little Jewish girl, who had followed the wandering fortunes of a tamoounne oeiore ner genius relumed for a moment the expiring lamp of the tragio muse at the national theatre. Such is the fertility of that dramatio literature to which the English stage owes so many original adaptations, and such was the conscientious ness with which Jules Janin fulfilled hia criti cal duties, that a Monday without a criticism of some new drama or vaudeville or farce (for he left nothing, however trivial, unno ticed), or of some revival, was tne rarest oi occurrences. If the field of criticism lay fallow for the moment he was never at a loss for a text upon which to throw, use an em- broidery, his most sparkling, abundant, and verious chat, strewed with quotations from Lis favorite Latin poets and Irenen essayists, and oocasioiiully, but not, pciuaps, so spiu taneously, from the Greek drama and philo sophy, and of late years, with a decided pre ference, from Shakespnare. The loving zeal and fidelity with which Jules Janin has per formed his literary and journalistic functions should be an example to those who treat dramatio criticism as an occupation for any Jack of all trades and master of none. In a country where dramatio authors are origi nal i adapters, . there is most excuse for this low appreciation of the olfioo; but certainly Jules Janin's enthusiasm was more conducive to the dignity of the press ana tne seit-respect of publio writers. ills judgments may not always have escaped the charge ot partiality; undoubtedly he had his favorites and his fancies, but if he sometimes erred on the side of indulgence, he never sinted against integrity and charity in his criticisms. And thus it happens that this prince among critics has reached the confines of old age beloved by all the surviving con temporaries of his earlier years, and by his younger brethren; and in the chorus of con gratulations from all sorts and conditions of literary men in Paris saluting the new Aca demician there will not be a discordant voice. His signature in the Debats has been cordially welcome to many readers beyond the frontiers of his own country, and has won him many friends who never saw his faoa. Nor were his dramatio criticisms tha only credentials with which he presented himself to the suffrages of the Academy. He has written several short novels and a history of the revolution. But these were his "pot boilers." His labor of love was his translation of "Horace;" and if sympathy of nature and congeniality of tastes and temperament are tne qualincations of a translator, it would not be easy to find a more Horatian interpreter of the delightful Roman poet than Jules Janin, whose cottage at Passy (where Ponsard died; is his Sabine farm. JUNIPER MORALS. From the Albany Evening Journal. The Rev. Charles B. Smythe is a lively genius. He achieved notoriety by denouncing the bare ballet in sermons more sensuous than the Bensational exhibitions he affected to deplore. He has tasted the virtues of the mixed product of the berry of the juniper and the patient beast from Orange county, pronounced them exceedingly valuable for the stomach s sake, and promotive of vigor and steadiness to the nervous system. He has even run the gauntlet of the press and the priests, and got nothing worse therefor than an admonitory rebuke, which he ac cepts with all humility and kindly feeling. we Know not which to admire most, the effort at exculpation of the presbyterial court, or the frank acceptance of the censure by the admonished minister. The committee find certain "facts of an unfavorable cha racter," to wit: The revereud gentleman lunched on a Sabbath day, at a restaurant in which a bar for the sale of intoxioating liquor is kept; during which he called for gin and milk, and his guests followed: one uniting with him in his favorite beverage, and the other preferring ale, and this in violation of the excise law, which prohibits the sale even of the juice of the juniper on the Sabbath day. Not only this, but he actually paid his bill, although too conscientious to do so on the day sacredly consecrated to rest and holy pursuits. No blessing was asked on the repast, and, worse than all the rest, he sent his son to decipher his manuscripts in order that the Sun of Monday might blaze with the light of his sermon. Certain "ex tenuating circumstances" are found. The first one gravely put forward is, "the ac cused did not ask any of bis guests to take any intoxicating drinks," but simply said, "What will you have? Evidently, the oom- mittee do not frequent bar-rooms, either on the Sabbath or any other day, or this dis crimination would not have been made. Let it be known, however, that "What will you have ?" is pronounced by the committee who tried bmjthe to be an unobjectionable for mula before a bar, even though the response be immediately "gin and milk," "ale," or any other article. The other extenuatingcir cumstances are, tkat the aooused was undar a considerable degree of physical exhaustion, that the quantity drank was not large, and that he did not get intoxicated. In other words, he was tired; it was but a tiny little thing, at best, and all the possible conse quences did not follow. The committee then proceed in a very grave argument to decide several delicate questions. Going to the restaurant was indiscretion; calling for gin was a temptation of the barkeeper to break the Sabbath; it is "at least very perilous'' to drink gin and milk in a restaurant, and it may, therefore, be "fairly, questioned" whether the accused did right or not, and his conduct was calculated to en courage others in the use of intoxicating liquors. It seems to be a matter of doubt, with the committee, whether drinking gin and milk is censurable or not, and whether it is proper toimbibeitin company of reporters, and thus lead them from the paths of reoti tude; but on the whole they conclude that he is censurable, recommend that he be rebuked, and made to promise to walk more circum spectly. The reverend gentleman was equal to the occasion afforded by the report of the com mittee, lie believed "the document had been drawn up with a great deal of care, kindliness of feeling, and impartiality," and while he would like to have had the Hun eensured sharply, yet he accepted it in the spirit in which it was onered. and ac&nowieagea tne distinction between the facts and the ex tenuating ciroumstances, but thought these latter would have justified a mere admonition and not a rebuke. Nevertheless he submitted to the judgment of the committee, expressed his sorrow that he had given cause for the same, and promised to walk more circum spectly in the future. And thus the farce closed, after the rebuke had been formally administered. It is unfortunate for the Church that the Rev. Smythe had not been in other hands. The result is more scanda lous than the original transaction. Such shabby whitewash can never hide from view tie conduct it proposes to oover. Already the attempt is made by scoffers to deduce from the trial inferences derogatory to minis terial character and church consistency. But the deduction is unwarranted. Smythe is an exception to clerical conduct, as is the tribu nal before which he appeared to ecclesiastio courts. Nowhere else could such a result have been reached. NAPOLEON AND HIS PROFESSED MIS SION. From the Baltimore American, If the late alleged plot for the assassination of Louis Napoleon is not, as supposed by some, a mere invention of the Government for political effect, it is the fourth attempt of ine Kind which has been made upon ms me, TLe first of these ooourred in 18"2, when, as Prince President, he was passing through Marseilles on a triumphal journey. An in fernal machine wai constructed, consisting of more than a hundred musket barrels placed in a room upen the ground floor of a house, fo as to sweep the street with certain death to all before it. It was designed that these guns should be discharged simultaneously by a fuse as Boon as the President, with his ojr tege, was in front of them. If the plan had been accomplished, the carnags, in the crowded streets of a city on a fete day, must have been terrific; but it is one of the amiable cl arficteristics of such conspirators to con sider it better that ninety innocent persons f-hcu'd suffer than that one whom they con sider guilty should escape. Fortunately, the plan was discovered, by the vigilance of the police, on the day before the President passed by that window. The second attempt was made upon the Emperor's return to France from his visit to England in 1855. On the 28th of April a man namtd Pianori, who does not seem to have had any accomplices, approached very near the Emperor while he was riding on horseback in the environs of Paris, the Em presR accompanying him in a carriage. Tne assassin fired twice at his intended victim with a revolver, one Bhot grazing the Eru jeror's bat. The criminal was instantly seized, and afterwards executed. The Senate, in a body, onlled upon the Emperor with their congratulations for his esoape. In his reply he said: "So long as I Buall not have accom plished my mission, I incur no danger." The third attempt was made by the Italian ievolutionist Orsini and his accomplices, vbo, as the Emperor and Empress, on the 14th January, 1858, were approaching the opera in their carriage, a dense crowd being around, threw under the carriage several bombs of terrific power. A large number were killed and many more wounded by the explosion, but the Emperor and Empress escaped entirely unharmed. Here again was displayed the recklessness of innocent life pe culiar to these extremists in their plots, as well as the bungling execution which kills its friends and lets its enemies escape. In view of these and the result of the latest attempt at his assassination, the Em peror, it is presumed, still considers his "mis sion" unfulfilled. lie appears, however, in his measures for establishing parliamentary gov ernment and perpetuating his dynasty, to recognize the approach of the inevitable end, but with the determination to be "master of the situation" to the full extent of human capability to the last moment of his own "recorded time.
