FRAUDS OF CONGRESSMEN ON THE . TENSION BLT.HAU. From. Ou S. Y. Herald. A very serious allegation egainst a Tennos see Congressman comes irom Washington. It 1h paid lb at one of the honorable members who were implicated in the charge of selling .oauetsLips is . now suspected of the more grave charge of defrauding the Tension .ltureau, by moans of forced receipts and power of attorney and the illegal use of a county 6oal. The frauds, it seems, extended also to a poor widow, who was the worst vie- ', tim, tiring in a feecluded part of Asb count, North Carolina, whose name he forged and whose penbion he pocketed. If these facts can be proved it will go hard with the Congressman. So far has the Commission been con vine 3d ct the truth of the charges that he has had an order issued for the arrest of the accused, and he will be brought to Washington imme diately. Similar oharges are reported to lie against a Georgia member, but they have not been fully developed yet. These, although but single cases of such a crime as forgery, ere but feeble evidences of the vast mass of putrid demoralization in which Congress is immerged. The sale of codetships was shabby, nngentlemanly, unparliamentary, and altogether scandalous. This matter of cheating a poor soldier's widow out of her pension, and committing forgery in order to aooomplish the purpose, is, probably, btill more in keeping with the general atmosphere of corruption which pervaded the Fortieth Congress. There was a time when Southern members, whatever may have been their faults, however bombastic, quarrelsome, and sometimes tidioulons they may have been on the floor would shrink from anything petty or con temptible. They were men of honor at least. But, .unhappily, the element which represents that region of the country now is of entirely different character. It would seem as if the email vices imported there from the North of Jtte have been exported to Washington in the lorm of gigantic crimes. Taking into con sideration the entire corrupt course of the last Congress and its utter worthlessness for all purposes of good to the country, wo are not much surprised to hear of isolated cases of grave offense like this discovered by the Pension Bureau brought home to members. Indeed, we expect to hear a good deal more of them; but we hope that a few examples will be made and condign punishment will be inflioted upon the guilty, in order to serve as a warning to those who may stand upon the brink of infamy and have not yet fallen into the gulf, if any such Congressmen there be vho have this day of graoe reserved to them. TIIE NATHAN MURDER. from the K. Y. Tribune. If the police have not succeeded in cap turing the Twenty-third street murderer, it in not for lack of volunteered advice. Most of . the newspapers have invented theories which if not exaotly ingenious are certainly striking. One journal proves to its own satisfaction in - one column that there must have been at least - two persons implicated in the deed, and in another that there could not possibly have 4iati morn than one. A ronorter of a nhvslo- 1 logical turn of mind has a theory that the murderer struck his victim twice witn nis lists, and then made use of at least two instruments to infiiot the fatal wounds. Another, after ' long reflection upon the problem how the assassin oould have got into the house, arrives . at the sagacious conclusion that he must have ; climbed up tne columns 01 tne street door, ' and crawled through the second-story window! Another etill drops some mysterious utte rances about a blood-bespattered saw, to ' which he hopes the police will give a very particular scrutiny. Of those theories which designate any particular person as the pro bable criminal ana more tnan one unfortu nate man has been , publicly pointed at by auspicious reporters there is, of course, nothing for Us to tav. Conjectures of this kind are grossly cruel and unjust. They rest upon no suiiioient ground, and tney may do irreparable ana awiui injury to tne innocent The difficulty of the present case is, as we said on Saturday, that the mode in which the - murder was committed is so evident, and yet , thtf traces of . the culprit are so slight. If -there were any obscurity about the motive for " the deed, anv Question about the instrument. any treasonable perplexity in understanding now the assassin entered or lett tne House, we - - might hope that in the course of the solution of these problems we should light upon some cine that would lead to the detection or tne murderer. But it is easy to see how the deed was done, and why it was done; . we can almost trace tue guuty man step by step, and yet we find no traces , but a few finger marks that cannot be iden tified, and a (shipwright s tool which nobody about the house had ever seen before. There ' is really no valid objection to the currently . accepted theory that the murderer concealed Himself in the house during tne day, anj it is net necessary to suppose that he was very well acquainted with tue construction of the house or the habits of the inmates. On the contrary, it is clear that on one important point he .was not acquaiuteajwitn Mr. Na tha&'g habits, for it was not that gentleman's custom to keep money in the bafe which aroused the murderer's cupidity. It is noto riously a common practice of thieves to sneak into a house by day or in the earl? evening, and bide themselves until all is quiet; a very large proportion of the bur ' glaries annually reported are committed in this way; and the condition in which Mr. Nathan s - house was left last Thursdav afforded a thief every opportunity he could desire for an operation of this kind. The ladies of the family were all absent; the gen. tlemen came in late; the door was left unfast ned even by a sight-latoh; and workmen . were continually going in and out. There is some dimouity about tne supposition of the murderer's getting out again by the front door: but it is more apparent than reaL Mr. '. Washington Nathan testifies that he came home at 1280, and locked, bolted, and chained lha front door. The murder, ao- cording to the medical examination, was pro Lably committed between 1 and 8 o'clock. The officer patrolling . Twenty-third street tried the front and basement doors of Mr. Nathan's house several times in th nnnrM of ; the early morning at 130, at 430, and again aoout o, oniy a lew momenta before the murder was disoovered, and each time he found the doors fast. Yet when Mr. Wash. ingtoa Nathan ran down to call the pohco, he is reported to have declared that he found the, front door "partly open.4 If this was the oase, Uiei murderer must have waited in the house at least three hours after commit ting the crime, and then gone out into the busy street by broad daylight. Of course no murderer would run such a risk, and indeed the appearance of the room 1 Indicated that he bad gone away in baste. The probability is that Mr. Washing ton Nathan found the door unlocked and unbolted, but not unlatchod. In the horror of the moment it is natural that his memory and his perceptions should have been con fused. If the door was latched the policeman of course could not tell that it was unlocked; and the criminal, if he retained his self, po&seshion, would have been careful to latch it, so that the police might not take alarm at its standing open, and discover the crime before he got safely away. This explanation is based tipon the supposition that Officer MaDgum did try the doors at the hours he says lie did; but it is within the bounds of self of a suspicion of negligence he has exag gerated the story of his own vigilance. Some surprise is expressed that the mur derer should have left so few marks of blood in the stairway and iu the hall. It is assumed by many people that he must have been actually drenched in gore and dripping from every limb; but this is a great mistake. hen a man is struck down as Mr. Nathan was struck, the blood does not gush forth like water from a hydrant, and it is possible that the murderer may have Btood in such a posl- . , a! 1 ,!aal- - f . lion as to receive comparatively nme oi iue crimson stain, and to get none at all on his feet. When the body was found a wide pool of blood was all about the head; but this pool it must be remembered had formed gradually as the veins and arteries drained away. The murderer may have left the room with com paratively few traces of the deed upon his person, except sucn as mignt be wiped on with a handkerchief. It has been proved that the house was so built with "deadened" walls and ceilings that the no.se of the struggle could hardly have been heard by the sons or the servants, even bad they all been awake. It has been shosrn that the mysterious carriage &een waiting op posite Mr. Nathan's stable was there on an errand sufficiently disreputable indeed, but not felonious. So the difficulties and "sus picious circumstances" one by one resolve themselves into thin air; only the one absorb ing problem remains who was the assassin ? We nave little nope mat no will ever oe found unless the rewards tempt an accomplice to betray him, and it is very doubtful whether he has any accomplice. If he be longed to a gang of burglars, his companions would be apt to know tnat be meant to at tempt Mr. 'Nathan's house that night. But the police are conndent tnat lie was not a professional house-breaker, because one of that class would not nave used tne unneces sary violence employed in this case, and be cause proiessional House-breakers generally operate in couples. He was probably a wretched 6neak-thiei, working alone, and peihaps without a "pal-' to whom his move ments would have been known, let at ins home, if he had a home, there may have been some creature who saw him return from his night's work, or saw him put out of the way the evidences of his crime. The main depen dence of justice must be on the hope that immense rewards will tempt some such per son to reveal tne truth. MR. BUSKIN'S NEW GOSPEL OF AHT. From the H. Y. Timts. '- Mr. John Buskin, as all the world knows, has lately become Slade Professor of Fine Arts at Oxford. Mr. Buskin has for some time been held to be a better authority upon painting than upon political economy, and contemporary judges have by no means kept this comparative estimate of his powers in reserve. Nothing daunted, However, tne author of Modern Painters his taken oocasion in his inaugural lectures at Oxford to affirm his peculiar tenets with considerable empha sis, and to repeat at the same time some of those unpleasant statements that the English people so much dislike to bear, lie declares, for example, that his countrymen will never excel in decorative design. Such design is usually produced by people of great natural powers oi mind, wlio nave no variety or subjects to employ themselves on, and no oppressive anxieties. The English have too much to do and to think of to attain a high degree of excellence. JSor can they be sue cessful in the highest fields of ideal or theo logical art, for the reason that ever since the Conquest, if not earlier, there has ex- lbted in that people a strange delight In the forms f burlesque "which are connected in Borne degree with the foulness in evil." And yet, bad as such a tendency is, 'you will find," Mr. Buskin tells us, "that whenever Englishmen are wholly without this instinct, tteir genius is comparatively weak and re stricted." Now. the first necessity for execuliccr any great work in ideal art, he goes on to explain, is the looking upon all foulness with norror, as a contemptible, though dreadtul, enemy; and he adds that we shall easily understand what he means "by comparing the feelings with which Dante re gards any form of obscenity or of base jest, with the temper in which the same things are regarded by bhakeapeare. It may be some comfort to the many Anglo-Saxons who will feel outraged by this slur on the immor tal bard to learn that Mr. Buskin acknow ledges English superiority in portraiture, as illustrated by Beynolds and Uainaboroiigu, and confesses that tbey (the English) have a sympathy with the lower animals which is peculiarly their own, but which, although "it has already found some exquisite expression in the works of Bewick and Landseer, is yet quite undeveloped. In subsequent lectures Mr. Buskin prooeed to instruct the ingenious young Britons com mitted to his charge that there can absolutely be not alone no right art, but no right morality or happiness, in a country the cities of which are built as they are in England, lie said as much twenty-two years ago in the "Seven Lamps of Architecture;" he says it again now with increased force and confidence. "You must have," he urges, "lovely cities, crystallized, not coagulated, into form: limited in size and not casting out the scum and scurf oi mem into an encircling eruption of shame. but girded, each with its sacred pomceriam, ana wnn garlands of gardens full of blossom ing trees and softlv euided streams." Mr. Buskin anticipates that this will be declared Impossible; but, with a fine discrimination avers that he "has no thin cr to do with its possibility, but only with its indispensa bility." But more than this. There must be no iron roofs, and no steam-power at least, nowhere in sight. Unholy machines of all sorts must be banished from houses and fields. "Agriculture by the hand, and nt.sn. lute refusal or banishment of unnecessary igneous force, are the first conditions of a school of art in any country. And until you do tnis, be It soon or late, minga will oon tinue in that triumphant state to which, for want of ' finer art, your mechanism has brought tuem tnat. tuoucn England is deadened with spinning-wheels, her peo ple nave not not lies; tnougu she la buck witn digging of fuel, they die of cold; and, though she has sold her soul for gain, they die of hunger." Mr. Buskin subse quently lays down a number of propositions, most oi which are so far from being objec tionable in themselves, as to be obvious truisms; but they are rendered ludicrom by the dogmalio assertion of their necessary co-relation to art. inus, be insists, tne people must be made clean, must live in tasteful houses, and eat wholesome food, before there ran be any art school or art taste whatever in the country which they inhabit. No doubt there is truth of a broad and general sort in thtse assumptions; but their trustworthiness, as practical guides, dissipates into thin air in the light of very common experience. Aris totle taught the republio under Alexander; Tnrner painted the most glorious of English landscapes among a people more wretched than can now be found in Liondon; all manner of lovely works in literature as well as art, ranking among the most perfect in existence, have been produced in evil times and amid the moBt corrupt society. " The truth is that Mr. Buskin has mixed op his rolitical Economy with his Art Criti cism, until neither lie nor his readers cai tell where one leaves off or the other begins. The consequences of over-population, the entail of real property, and otner special ana local matters, are associated by him with the development of art in a manner tnat is often plausible and eloquent, but not always either . . a ? 1 -T 1 - - , - . 1 . conerent or rational, ne is no wiser iu tuts regard than are our own native philosophers who insist upon imputing to democratic in stitutions all the beueficent results that have sprung from vast area and sparse population. Hut Air. liuskin has told us so mucu in his former works, and even in his present lec tures, that if not invariably new, has been not only true but beautifully expressed, and full of' healthful morality; so that adverse criticism in his case must always be over- balanced bv gratitude. Sharp judges may say of him that he knows not logic, and that he is even at times absurd; but there are few writers of our generation in whom we can sooner overlook weakness in the application of the laws of reasoning or more easily for give occasional absurdity. HANDCUFFS AND HISTOKY. From the S. Y. World. A mild controversy is in progress in a sister city on the interesting subject of manacles. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Aye, who is described, no doubt justly, as a rospectable person, whose testimony is to be relied on, alleges that when, at tue outbreak ot tne civil war, the Federal army took the field it carried with it a vast quantity some 8O;Q0f) of handcuffs; and that the manufacture of the article continued to be a very profitable branch of industry among our ironmonger- ing neighbors. lo this the 1 rcss, always ready in the cause of manacles, replies: "A Democratic contemporary asks, with mysteri ous and hypocritical horror, why it happens that a large contract for handouts appears In the Govern ment accounts during the wiir. We can tell him. Thev were purchased to use In enforclnor the draft. and the expense or buying tnem ani tne necessity of using them aTe, like most other war expenses, directly chargeable to the Democratic piirty." It is not easy to determine which, if true, is the most discreditable to America the Democratic allegation or the Republican gloss. We recollect distinctly hearing (but in our simplicity we thought it a vile Bebel slander) that on the battle-field of the first Manassas were found, amidst unopened champagne bottles and untasted sandwiches, a vast number of shackles for hands and feet. It was a new element of war. "I went on the field of battle the next day," wrote an eminentman a civilian from Warrenton "with ice and medicine and wine to minister to the Northern wounded, who, I thought, might be neglected, and there I found quan tities of new handcuffs scattered on the ground.'' . And so this story, which we onoe doubted, now turns out to be true. We have heard of an army terrible with banners, but never before of a host horrible with hand cuffs. In speaking of Bunker Hill our good friend Bancroft, before he turned Bepubli can, said: "The gloom in the quarters of the British was deepened by the reflection that they had fought, not against an enemy but against their fellow-subjects and kindred; not for the promotion of civil or religious free dom, but for the supremacy of one part of the empire over another!" But he does not record that "loyal" Boston men went out to frolic on the field of blood, or that with the drum-tap of Bigot's advancing British grena diers was mingled the clink of the manacles forged for the limbs of Prescott, and Putnam, and Warren. But "No," says he of the Press; "we admit the handcuffs; only they were purchased, not for rebels, but for our own conscripts for recalcitrant Democrats." This makes the matter worse, and explodes instantly the whole theory of Northern popular enthusiasm. Handcuffs by retail for sporadio mutiny we can comprehend, for every provost mar shal ashore and master-at-arms at sea has a few on hand, but this purchase by wholesale this contract system in Pennsylvania to be applied, not to captured enemies but to our own reluctant recruits, is something unparalleled out of Mexican history, and we should not credit it but for the high and "loyal" source whence the story comes. This superfluity of gyves was not, however, without its uses. Passing by the horrid possibility that the Pennsylvania iron dealers may actually have furnished the chains that may have been put on our prisoners at Andersonville and the Libby, we are quite aware that a remnant of these "jewels" came later into play, when a helpless, feeble old woman was brought into court at Washing ton chained by the order of Holt and Hunter, and again when the crowning infamy of the war was perpetrated at Fortress Mon roe by Halleck and his soulless subordinate. Handcuffs, Halleck, Hunter, and Holt his tory will hardly suffer this charming allitera tion to pass out of men's minds. PERILS OF EPISTOLAUY LITERATURE. from the Whttling InLeUiptncir, It is recorded among the sayings of some wise man that the pen is mightier than the sword. It is also more dangerous than the sword not perhaps to him against whom it is wielded, but to him who wields it. It is one of the things not to be rashly touched. Many a poor wight has been self-impaled on it, only to wriggle there in hopeless ridioulo sity the balance of his days. More trouble has risen to plague mankind from slinging ink than spilling blood; and, indeed, most of the blood spilt in modern wars has been due to some unlucky blunder on paper. See how all Europe has been agitated for a week by a little memorandum jotted down two years ago in Berlin by a fellow named Benedetti. Of all the uses made of the pen the episto lary is the most perilous. Who ever wrote a letter that did not some day rise up in judg ment against him? How many men have been ruined by a single epistle. If nenry Cisy Lad not written a certain letter about bis views on the tariff, he would have been elected President some twenty-six years ago. If he had been elected tl.ere wouldn't have been any annexation ! Texas or any war wib Mexico; and pt-rhwps the whole current of events for these twv nty-air years would have been changed. Ho many a politician has found himself ruined by some unfortunate letter, sure to be resurrected just when he leant expects or desires it ! It was a maxim with President Van Buren, we believe, that a: man in political life had better walk fifty miles any time to talk with a man than to write him a letter. ' How many politicians can testify to its wisdom I - IS penmanship is a dangerous diversion when a man writes over his own name, it is doubly so when he signs the name of some body else. Many a follow who deserved to be successful has destroyed himself by writing other people's names. There was young Ketchnm, for example, rich and popular, who tried it in a city where justice is notoriously blind; and he had to look through the grated windows at Sing Sing ever so many weary months. It was a fatal skill that Ketchnm had with that most treacherous weapon. How many like him have good reasons to wish so such instrument of self-dost motion had ever been invented! But it is a poor sort of talent that contents itself with mere mechanical accomplishments in penmnnship with the mere ability to write another man's name quite as good as he writes it himself. Beal genius disports itself in another way. To be able to "put yourself in his place," to know that another man ought to write a letter, to know just when ho ought to write it, to know just what he ought to say, and then to write it for him without his knowing it, and bring it forth at the proper time and place so thatlhe letter when written and read shall be a besom of de struction among one's own enemies to slay tbem as the jawbone did the Philistines, and clear the path to office and renown this is the work of genius in its highest flights, and one who can wield the pen with such brilliant effects as these, has only to go forward in the same path conquering and to conquer. FRANCE AND PRUSSIA. fVow the London Saturday iJctriw. It is for the French people to judge whether their Government has played on a real or assumed natioual weakness by its noisy menaces of a causeless war. It is more than doubtful whether the blustering levity of the more bellicose politicians of Paris is shared either by the intelligent part of the com munity, or by the mass of the population. The JovrnnUks Debata, the Sicclr, and one or two of the Republican papers have been distinguished by a prudent reserve which was unfortunately not displayed by every English journalist. It is difficult to believe that either the rural supporters of the Empire or the trading classes in the towns wish to double tho taxes, and to increase n vet old tne burden of the conscription, for the frivolous purpose of excluding from the throno of Spain a prince who had, seven hundred years go. common ancestor with the King of Prussia, or for the still weaker reason of resenting a project which has been abandoned. If an unpardonable crime and a dangerous blunder have indeed been avoided, it may be alleged that a victory has been achieved without 6neuding a drop of blood; but if there has been a French victory, it is over Spain or bigmaringen, for Prussia has incurred neither defeat nor humiliation. It was not worth while wantonly to alienate the good will of Spain; and if time is allowed for reflection, French politicians will discover that the policy of the Government has given a fresh impulse to the completion of German unity. The maladroit brawlers of the war like press have openly declared that the French protests were directed, not against the Hohenzollern candidature, but against the past and prospective aggrandizement of Prussia. The obsolete project of an nexing the left bank of the Bhine has been ostentatiously revived in all the ancient ignorance of geography, of history, and of practical possibility. The- agitators who declaim against the independence of a neighboring rival have yet to learn that Ger many is a great and patriotic nation, not in ferior to France in the arts either of peace or of war, and superior in numbers. The coveted provinces have never belonged to France, except during the short period of the Republic and the Empire; and they are inhabited by a purely German population. To believe that Germany would, even after suffering military reverses, submit to dis memberment merely because a portion of the national territory is traversed by a great river, is an antiquated delusion. It woult be but prudent to profess that the opposition to a Prussian King of Spain, in the absence of any other justification, was at least serious and sincere. If the menace of war was intended to extort any other conces sion than the withdrawal of the Hohenzollern candidate, the bloodless victory, if it has been achieved, assumes the character of a defeat. No material impediment will in that case be offered to the more complete union of Germany, and the motives of patriotism and of interest which recommend it have become more urgent and more operative. If the terms oi the Duke of Gramont's cir lar have been correctly reported, the Fronoh Government must share the discredit which attaches to the violent section of the press. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is said to have officially declared that the aggressive ness of Prussia causes legitimate apprehen bion for the maintenance of the political balance of Europe, France has, as he unne cessarily declares, always kept in view the policy of not allowing itself to be swallowed up by the neighboring States, "This has been the policy followed since the times of Francis I by Henry IV, by Bichelieu, by Louis XIV, and by Napoleon I." Such a despatch, if it has really been communicated to Lord Gran ville, must have taxed his patience and his courtesy. It is useless to guess at a decision which will in a few hours be known in all parts of Europe. The French Government has by this time ascertained that a wanton disturb ance of peace is universally reprobated, for Lord Granville's despatches can scarcely have failed to correct the misapprehension which was caused by the blundering subserviency of one or two newspaper writers. Napoleon I never attacked a neighbor without more plausible pretexts than any which can be alleged by the Duke of Gramont. A war will be an act of deliberate wickedness; and even if the crisis is now finally terminated, the peace of Europe is obviously inseoure. The chiefs of the army, and the literary advocates of war, are eager to try the instru ment which has been brought to perfection by Marshal Niel and his successor. A great army is raised and equipped because there is a supposed risk of war, and then it is thought that so admirably organized a force ought to be used before it declines in efficiency. The Ministers and the Emperor himself will not be trusted, even if they sincerely adopt a pacifio policy. Late experience has shown that an apparently clear sky offers no security against the sudden rise of a thunder-cloud. 1L Ollivier's rashness, and the calculated violence of the Duke of Gramont, may at any moment reappear. On the other side, the Germans will be reasonable jealous, and if any controversy - arises, tbey will be more than ever charv of 'concessions. Although the Hohenzollorn candidature or election was a matter of indif ference to Geruany, great annoyance will be felt at the withdrawal, which was an aot of deference to French exigency. The fulfil ment of the terms of the treaty of Prague will probably be still further postponed, and though Baden may not at onoe be admitted into the (Joniederaiian, rrushlan policy will be more active among the South German States. The prospect of disarmament is in definitely delayed, for it is impossible that Germany should incur the risk of a capricious attack without making due preparation for resistance. The personal reasons which induced the Emperor to invent and precipi tate a quarrel will remain ' in force, lie may at any moment wish to revive his own popularity, to silence domestio agita tion, or to exhibit his son on horseback on a field of battle. The far weightier reasons which ought to bind him to a policy of peace have been shown to be insufficient. A graver cause of provocation than the Hohenzollern nomination might always be provided at five minutes notice. It is now certain that the French Ambassador at Madrid and his gov ernment had known of the candidature as probable for several months, nor can the definitive adoption of the scheme have caused genuine surprise at Paris. A change of ministry would afford no guarantee for peace, for the Empe ror is absolute master of the foreign polioy of France, and some, sections of the Opposition are professed advocates of war. M. Gam betta supports in the legislative body the de mand of the Emperor's confidential agent, M. Clement Duvernois, that the frontier for tresses of Germany should bo dismantled. It would be as reasonable to require that William I or the Prince of Prussia should surrender himself as a hostage for the renun ciation of the project of German unity. SPECIAL.
