TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1884.
In a Presidential Point of View.
Regarding all the fluctuations of the war,
the unspeakable interests involved in them,
and the consummate wisdom which has a
controlling hand in making the one subser
vient to the other, it is the part of duty, of
patriotism, of honor, of the love of national
glory, to pay into the hands of our Execu
tive those treasures of fidelity which are due
to him as the guardian of the rights of the
- United States. For nearly three years. he
has unceasingly done what few do com
pletely, even in the poor degree which is
required of them. He has done his duty.
No one can lay his finger upon one act
of the Presidential term which is not for
the well-being of the people which that
Government represent. There has been
more than one side taken with respect
to the manner in which the measures of Mr.
Lnecome should be viewed. Prejudice, and
ignorance, and bigotry, and party spirit
have clashed together, and have time and
again raised a great hue and cry. Partiali
ties have distracted the popular mind, an
tipathy and malice have run full tilt against
pure love of country, and they have been
wofully discomfited in the tournament. The
man whom God selects out of millions to
hold the first place in the gift, as he holds the
first place in the hearts, of the people, is the
man who will outlive all the distortions and
malversations of time. The man who, in
spite of the malice-woven meshes which
seek to entangle the operations of himself.
and his constituency, preserves the honor of
the nation unsullied,and leads her on through
darkness and through danger to prosperity
and peace, is he who deserves and will re
ceive the entire confidence of the people
whom he has blessed with such jurisdiction.
The schoolboy learns by rote the best of
rulers who have determined, 'from century
to century, the progress of the world. When
riper years mature his inteilgence, he per
ceives with a sagacious eja the varied
nature of those teeming shores of humanity,
thus governed, between which the stream of
life forever continues to flow. Centuries
backward along the course of that rapid
river, the bed is dried up, and the banks are
parched and desolated. Equidistant from
that remote past and from the turbid pre
sent, the waters disclose treasures and splen
dor in bewildered confusion, and the shores
are lined with a luxuriant prosperity not yet
wholly dead. And so the mighty liver
rolls on, between and among the United
States of America, where the fee-simple
of independence is forever to be in
herited, rolling through the years through
- which eixteen Presidents have presided, and
growing furious and turbid as it had never
grown before, at the era of the inauguration
of the last. The merest schoolboy is fa
miliar - with the Presidential list, and possibly
has compared the history cf the nation thus
far with that which awaits !t, under the rulers
which shall regulate its career. But the
=an of intelligence, who sees the end from
the beginning, and who argues just conclu
sions for posterity from the premises of his
own time, will speculate with interest upon
the genius of each Presidential term, corn
-paring the spirit and workings of each with
those of its forerunner and successor. And
he must come to the conclusion that the
Union has never been protected and de-
fended with a firmer hand than under the
Administration of President Lmcorx. He
perfonns his duty out of love—love for the
Union; his ruling star has been the star of
principle.
It is this which loyal people love and ad
mire in the Administration of the last three
years, and it is this which will influence
them in their election for the Presidential
term which is to come. The Union is to be
preserved. Slavery is to become extinct.
And these two truths have become so amal-
garnated and interwrought that they are
absolutely hiseparable. The man who is to.
consummate this good work is awaiting the
- voice of the people_ Already from several
quarters it e names of several are proclaimed.
The people, as a people, are united in one
faith. The Union is to be, and to continue
to be, a matter of fact, and not au Utopia
- which shall fertilize the brains of idealists
The time is approaching for the voice of the
people to be heard, and all over the land the
people are agitating the question.
ABRAHAM Lrscorat is a man who has
ruled with wonderful efficiency in the hearts
of the American people. His name has be-
come synonymous - with everything good in
Government, wise in policy, merciful in
justice, and yet j ust in the exercise of m.erey.
To the principles which have clung around
him and sustained him, the loyal people of
America cling. According to the bias of
theseprinciples will their suffrages be given.
His_ eyes perceive the evils which afflict the
country, and assiduously distinguish the
right frcni the wrong. In their opinion of
his principles—the tenets of his patriotism—
the loyal people of America are converging
In the Presidential terms that
to a centre
are past, there is much that would have
been irretrievable under any other .&dminis-
tration then that of Mr. LINCOLN'S ; in the
Presidential terms tlxpt are to come, it is
almost impossible to conceive either greater
calamities than have already occurred, or
surer means of their speedy retrievement,
than have been witnessed during the Ad-
ministration of the last three years
The Burning of the - church of the Jesuits.
The account we publish to-day of the de
struction of the Church of the Jesuits, in the
city of Santiago, the capital of Chikl, will
be read with horror. It is less like the
record of a fact than the wild description of
a dream of evil. Santiago, on the Bth of
last December, realized the idea of hell, and
two thousand women and children, who
thronged its magnificent church to save
their souls from the torture of fire in
another life, found, in the very act of
worship, foretaste of the punishment
they feared. The descriptions given seem
written with pens of fire, yet they but
darkly picture scenes which transcend even
the fierce imaginations of DANTE. The
death that seized in its fiery arms those
women, " the flower of the beauty and the
fashion of Santiago," leaped suddenly out
of the glories of a religiousfestival, instantly
transformed into infernal splendors. Not
one element of horror is wanting—the devo
tion of the victims ; the illumination of
• twenty thousand lights ; the sudden fire
that ran like lightning from the foot
of the statue of the Virgin to the glit
tering roof, and thence rained the agony
of death upon the helpless throng ; and
that terrible scene at the solitary open
door, of women who stretched out
their burning arms to men, and perished
within a few feet of their friends. " Wo
men, seized in the embraces of the flames,
were seen to undergo a transformation as
though by an optical delusion ; first daz
zlingly bright, then horribly lean and shrunk
up, then black statues, rigidly fixed in
an writhing attitude." Securely walled
up by dead and trampled bodies, in one
hour more than two thousand women were
changed to shapeless, crisped coals. Not a
priest was scorched I Not a priest is known
to have saved one life except his oa. , n ; but
the officiating clergy barred the door from
the vestry—by which' hundreds might have
escaped—kat the fire s hould reach, the church
property, and then succeeded in saving
several wooden saints, many silver chalices,
and much holy matting and sacred carpet. As
if to heighten the horror, before escaping
by this door, a priest turned to the anguished
women and absolved them from their sins,
and the miserable monk ITearerz told them
to die happy because they were going to
Mary. Thus, having administered the con
solations of religion, these ghostly fathers
snatched all the silver candlesticks within
reach, and saved the wooden saints from
Impious Eames.
The fluid glare of this guilty sacrifice
lights up the haggard features of a cruel su
perstition. The people of Santiago rightly
accuse the priests of the murder of these
innocents. To prevent the fire they took
no pains ; it was evidently caused by the
grossest carelessness ; and even where they
had the opportunity of saving many lives,
they - , with a diabolical spirit of indifference,
abandoned their victims with a blessing.
"This is the third time that the Church of
the Compania has filled our homes with
weeping," says a Chilean paper, yet the
priests insist that it -shall be rebuilt, while
the people declare that it shall never again
affront the light of day. The Government
has ordered the demolition of the ruins.
The Church seems to have been devoted
to the lowest ceremonies of supersti
tion. Murals actually established at
the entrance ' a celestial post office, in
which the daughters of Mary deposited
written letters to the Virgin, and
no doubt received such answers as her
interpreter thought best. Yet the people of
the city seem to have been so broken in
spirit by their misery that they have done
little to end the religious tyranny which
caused it. In the almost universal apathy,
we are proud to find Americans true to
their manhood and the honor of their
country. The American minister, Mr.
THOMAS N. NELSON, was one of the first
persons to reach the burning building,
and with his own hands, and at the
risk of his life, hewed down the doors,
and dragged all that could be reached,
out of the flames. He was nobly as
sisted by Dr. SILVEY, American consul
at Valparaiso, SAMUEL HAVILAND, Mr.
RAND, HENRY MEIGS, HENRY M. KEITII,
W. EATON, GEORGE COLTON, C. T. PEARCE,
and other Americans and Englishmen.
The majority of the Chileans stood by para
lyzed with horror. In his correspondence
with the Secretary for Foreign Affairs of
Chile, Mr. NELSON has faithfully expressed
the feeling of his countrymen.
This is all we have learned of the most
horrible event of modern times. We have
read nothing in fact or fiction that rivals the
burning of this church in Chile, and the
burning alive of two thousand helpless wo
men.
A Work ibr Pennsylvanians.
Under caption of " How to Avoid the
Draft," we present the important address
of Major General WINFIELD S. HANCOCK
with reference to recruiting for the 2d Corps
d'Armi:ie. He has made Harrisburg the
headquarters of this service, and is autho
rized to recruit his command to 50,000 men,
for such special work as the War Depart
ment may require. Volunteers enlisted for
this corps will be credited to the town,
township, or ward, which they may elect.
" Every locality," as General HANCOCK
remarks, "is, therefore, interested in in
creasing the number of enlistments to the
extent of its quota in the draft, and any
stimulus given by local bounties or other
efforts will have the effect of preventing
those who desire to volunteer from leaving
the places of their residence and enlisting
elsewhere where the inducements offered
may be greater."
General HANCOCK' is a Pennsylvanian,
and one of the bravest and most popular
soldiers of the army. His carps isjPenn
sylvania corps, to which and to its general
the State lir nation owe so mach of the
glory and safety won at Gettysburg. Ten
redments and four batteries, all of them
from Pennsylvania, are named for filling up.
A rich bounty, a heroic veteran organization,
a chivalrous young leader—perhaps the most
popular corps commander in the army—and
the prospect of special service and fresh
glory, are striking and appealing induce
ments to volunteers of every kind. The
plan sketched by Gen. HANCOCK for avoid
ing the draft presents the means most feasi
ble and welcome for that object. We can
avoid the draft, but we cannot in honor
avoid in filling up the ranks of the noble
Pennsylvania corps, whose claims - and
prestige have conic to oijr help that we may
help it in turn. Nothing could be better to
our pride and our interests than to have in
the field another grand corps, to add new
renown to the special fame already won by
Pennsylvania soldiers. The arrangement
by which this is rendered necessary is
creditable to the wisdom of the Government,
and is flattering to the patriotism of the
people.
TEIR PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY.— Captain S. D.
Franklin, who Jibe strved his country so einciently
Under Colonel Wynkoop, w,ll to-morrow couaniersoe
recruiting a company for three yeareerervice or the
war. His rendezvous will be at 132 south Fourth
street, under Granello & Taylor's well-known tenor
ing establishment, and we predict for him a large
business. Captain Franklin does nothing by halves.
When the 20th Cavalry was raised, he left a. lucra
tive position under the Guardians of the Poor for
his country's service. Captain Franklin is not con
tent to remain at home till the war is successfully
ended. He has the energy, bravery, and ability to
make an excellent officer, and we recommend all
good men who desire active and commendable ser
vice to join his command. Of course, he will pay
the largest bounties.
Public Entertainments.
NEW AnCH•STREET THEATRE.—The short season
of standard comedy, announced by Mrs. John Drew,
was inaugurated last evening, on which occasion
the fair lessee made her first appearance after many
months. There were good reasons for visiting the
Areh•etreet Theatre last evening, in spite of the 'cm.
propitious weather. In the first place, there was
Mrs. John Drew to see, after a long absence from
the stage. In the second place, there was a standard
old English comedy to be produced, in a idyls which,
following the advertisements in the Sunday papers,
should be first-class. In the third place, there was
the natural curiosity to learn whether all the pro
mises of the management would be carried out to the
letter, and whether the Lady Teazle of the evening
was the Lady Teazle that she used to be. Mrs. Drew
has adhered throughout this season to the star sys
tem, and abjured the stock system altogether. It
would tax the trea■ury of any theatre to unite the
t wo so as topay. Wandering stars, like wandering
minstrels, sometimes play very wretchedly, and
unless they are diligently conscientious, will ex.
cure, and even applaud, wretched playing in their
support. The shade into which the stock performer
is thrown relieves the fancied brightness of the star,
whose delineations are Must forward with the de
finiteness of a stereoscopic view. Consequently, a
thoroughly good stock company, where the star
system prevails, is by no mean. necessary. The
„ sticks" which are from season to season engaged
are tied up into a faggot of a company, and, at the
New Aroh•street Theatre, an attempt is made to
blend the two systems, and Mrs. Drewmust learn to
pursue either the one or the other, or else so to or-
• • •
ganize her troupe that no member of it can be above
taking a rOle it can well perform, or below one it is
foreea to accept. The present season at the Arch
does not consist merely of the few nights annually
set apart for the benefits of the very worthy mem
bers of the company. It, for the time, ignores the
star system, and rests upon its own capabilities to
produce, in brst-clasa style, standard comedy and
other entertainments, and, should it pecuniarily pay,
no overwhelming compliment will be due the taste
and intelligence of the public.
Not that we would by any means undervalue the
ccmpany at the Arch. It embraces several talented
performers, and we have not the slightest doubt that
the style in which the forthcoming plays will be
performed would produce enthusiasm out in Kansas.
Neither should we insist so strongly on our ob
jections, if the management of the Arch did not put
forth such glaring claims to 'public patronage, and
promise, in term a of good faith, to play pines in
first class style. Either the claims put forth must
subside into a diminuendo, or the management must
expect to take the consequences of its own rashness.
The " School for Scandal was not produced last
evening as the public had a right to expect it would
be. Neither the cast, nor the stage appointments,
nor the adherence to the text, at all approached the
promises that were given.
Mrs. Drew had a magnificent reception and looked
quite fresh and youthful. Old theatre-goers have
seen Mrs. Drew before as Lady TV6=IE, and will bear
witness to her delicate discernment of that charm
ing character. in her delineation one feels just as
Sir Peter feels, that a little mortification is very be
coming in a wife, and that though he can't make Lady
Teazle love him, there is a groat satisfaction in quar
relling with her. In the scene, with Sir Peter, when
Lady Teazle tells him her " note or hand will do as
well," and when husband and wife seal their peace
making with a delightful quarrel; and when she
makes the explanation to her husband in the libra
ry of Joseph Surface, Mrs. Drew was particularly
good. In the few passages of a pathetic nature her
voice possessed a tremulousness and meaning which
were very touching,and which contrasted exceeding
ly wellwith the archness of her tone and gesture in
lighter scenes. hits. Drew was &egged with exqui-
Ole taste, was applauded with furore through
out the play, land at the dose received the usual
compliment of a call before the curtain.
When, in addition to this, We remark that miss
Mary Carr was fair BB Mrs, Candor, that Mr_ Griffiths
as Sir Peter Teazle, and Mr. Wallis as Sir Oliver Sur
face, were excellent, and that Mr. Barton Hill as
Charles Surface was only three-quarters as good as
he might have been, praise ends. The rest of the
characters were not worth mentioning, and the in
terpolations of one or two were in the most wretch
ed taste. The stage appointments were decent, and
would be termed elegant out in Michigan.
In conclusion, we have a word of advice to give to
the Arch-street management, acknowledging, first
of o n, and with pleasure, that Mrs. Drew is a
finished comedienne and energetic manageress. We
would advice it not to attempt to delude the public
into the belief that its present company is capable
of producing standard comedy in the beat style.
Whilst Mrs. Draw and one or two of her company
may be very good, and every member painstaking,
the whole troupe is totally incapable of doing justice
to whatever they lay their hands upon. The Arch
must either then come down a peg or two in its pre
tensions, or must continue to rest its chief attraction
upon some eminent star, or must incur the obloquy
Watt attaches to a management which makes pro
mises that are not kept, and which turnisheS the
public with a prospectus that la not realized.

Six deserters from the 9th Alabama regiment and
four contrabands came into our lines near Mitchell's
Station yesterday morning. They forded the Rapi

reached our pickets. They had no coffee for months,
and have not had meat more than twice a week.
Nine men of their regiment were shot only a few
days since for trying to desert.
Picket firing was suspended by agreement made
under a flag of truce two or three weeks ago; but
yesterday our cavalry pickets were fired on neap
Mitcheirs Station, though without end.
Col. Elimaker, of the 119th Pennsylvania Volun

promoted to the colonelcy of the regiment.
Gen. Kilpatrick left for Washington this evening
on a special train. It is conjectured that his visit
to the capital has some connection with a new and
important cavalry command to which rumor assigns
him.

SPERCHEe AT THE UNION LEAGUE
Houss.--Itwas announced yesterday that Brigadier
General Joshua T. Owen would address the mem
' berm of the Union League, at the club house, last
evening. This announcement drew a number of the
'members together, and, about eight o'clock, the
General Woe introduced to the audience. Be as
cended the stand, and spoke in substance AS fol.
lows:
It must be a cause of congratulation with you
that the dark days of our country are passing away.
The war in which we are now engaged, though it is
not to be justified, and is an outrage noon thin carnal
try, yet it hoe been made the means of strengthening
us as a people, of prod ucing a spirit of nationanty
that has bound us toge ther in stronger bonds than
ever before. All a dents of - history must have
noticed one remarkable fact in that. of our country
and other 'nations, when they were engaged in a
strife similar to ours, and were tottering away; they
possessed but little foundation when they had ar
rived at that State of existence when they were
on the decline ; but we are having our a
triotism put to the utmost test, and, if we are tr ue
to our Government, we will without doubt succeed.
We are young, vigorous, fntelligent , and, he trust
ed, we were all virtuous; and if we are all this, we
can stand this teat, and come out of It as a good man
would. We can then look to the future, and believe
That we will be remunerated for our trouble. We
are a peo ple
_ gathered from the four quarters of the
earth. We possess bravery, calmness, fortitude, re-
Henna trillium& and morality to a greater extent
than ever ebarroterized any other nation.
He thanked God that at the very breaking out of
this rebellion he had the privilege of casting himself,
without reservation, for the °wintry and the Union.
Uncivilized and unchristianited as Rome was, it
took one hundred years for that place to die. it
porsible then that the experience of history, pored
over by our learned men, le to be set st naught, and
the country to be severed, at the very beglumagnfito
nationality? No l God in His infinite E0042"11 wilt
prevent it. Light now begins to shine upon orit na
tional 'pathway, The North is not the unit that it
ought. o be. Who can estimate the immense Win
mum and poWor that this country can wield among
the nations of the world when this war Is forever
done away with.
God In Has providence has already given us a
stark upward, and if we are true we will_yet.become
whet history will fail to describe. Swat.% war has
rover been waged. Such a people never before be
tithe antagonized. The armies aril the *aced tolk%
have ever been sent into the Reid, and equipped in
the shortest time. An extent of country has been
taken the Like of which tuas never been paralleled.
He knew what the effect of the President's pro-
elamation wee in the Army of the Potomac. He
had heard (Meer' say they would not light under
such principles, but he was able to say for himself
and nearly all the °Meer* of the army that it has
been adopted by them as the only means of crushing
this rebellion. [Cheers.] The President has been
dedicated to us by Providence to be the means Or
saving this country. [Cheers ] Who does not be
neve and say, if he is honest, tnat slavery was not
at the root of this war ? [Cheers.]
Who does not know,
from the developments of
our national interests, that white free labor is that
to which we owe our greatness? [Cheers.] No
good citizen desires to deprive another of his pro
perty without a just warrant. In order to make
this war produce what Providence designed -it
should, stavety must cease. [Applause.] Shall we
be able to recompense this people for. their loss?
Yes t The freemen of the North will emigrate
there, and by their inventive faculties make it such
a country as It should have been long ago. If cot
ton has Inch king in the past, they by their indus
try and tact will make it emperor in the future.
Thus shall the Southern men be amply repaid for
the loss of their loved system. The speaker said
he had been a Democrat all his lifetime. He went
into this war as such, and considered himself for a
long time what is called a War Democrat; but when
I found that the leaders of iny own party failed to
comprehend the issues that ale at stake in this con
test, I left them—[applause]—and I will never
again associate with a single one that fails to see
where he belongs when his country is in danger.
[Applause.]
The men in the army have an abiding faith in the
ability and integrity of the President, and all those
whom he has called to his assistance in this great crib
sib. They intend, with a devotion that knows no lack,
to adhere to this Administration until they prove
their unworthiness to perform that great duty which
the people require of them. Near the close of his
remarks he made a very strenuous appeal to those
present, who, wielding great influence, should make
some movement whereby the Government might be
induced to erect a suitable building for the purpose
of giving a permanent home to those men who have
fought to maintain the honor and integrity of the
country, and while performing this duty received
wounds which have unlit them for business. These
remarks were received with great applause. •

One FOR HARRISBURG. The regular
trains and several special ones started yesterday
afternoon and last evening from this pity for Harris
burg, well filled with soldiers, and citizens generally
ann distins,ulshed men, who desired to participate
in the second inauguration of Governor Andrew G.
Curtin at the State capitol, which important event
will take place to-day. We also observed several
prominent gentlemen of New Jersey on Come of the
trains. Quite a number of members of the Union
League were also among the passengers. The
Weather was vely unpropitious indeed for any out
door display ; the rain at times falling is torreata,
and a fog so intensely , think as to 1 , / tud travelling
somewhat. It was just such weather as that which
generally delays railroad cars beyond the Banal
time of running.
TENNESSEE EUFFERERS.—NOtWithiitillld
ing the inclemency of the weather last evening, yet
there was a goodly attendance of ladies and gentle
men at the Union Methodist Church, on Fourth
street, below Arch, to listen to ex-Congressman N.
G. Taylor's appeal for the sufferers in East Tennes
see, who have felt all the horrors of the infernal re
hellion, though they still cling to the flag of the
Union. There is no doubt but that a handsome sum
will be realized by such meetings as these. It is a
subject that appeals to humanity, and it cannot fail
to touch the heart end the pockets of the people of
the great loyal metropolis of the country.

SEVENTH WARM—A large and enthusi
astic meeting was held in the Seventh ward, at

D. Lewis was called to the chair and John P. Ca
bot appointed Secretary. It was unanimousy re
solved to give an extra bounty of $lOO to all new
recruits credited to the ward, and a committee was
n
appointed to raise the ecessary and the

mit

DRAFT MEETING IN THE TWENTIETH
WARD —A large meeting of the citizens of this

FINANtIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
PHILADELPHIA. Tan. 16. 1861.
Third street Was the scene of much exeitement to-dal
on account of the large and violent fluctuations in the
price of gold, which opsned strong at /69X, rose to 9. 7 4,
fell off to DS, and, after various figures, closed at 169.
The heavy importations and the prevailing impression
that more currency will have to be issued by Govern
ment. is receiving the credit of this heavy advance.
Would it not be better for Mr. Chase to remove the re
striction s on free trade in Southern cotton, and thereby
create a medium of foreign exchanges, Instead ofattempt
ing specie payments and paying out an intermit. bearing
legal-tender for a non-interest-bearing note?
