TUESDAY, JANUARY 1G, 1800.
Tbe Intent Acrobatic Attitude oi Hon.
John Hell.
It was a favorite similo of Ossian to repre
sent the spirit of tbe Scottish forefathers re
clining on the bosom of the wind, and howl
ing forth the tale of ilieir wrongs for the
special edification of posterity. It would
fcceq that the force of this Imagery has stirred
the lion. John Bell, ol Tennessee, and that
jealous of the monopoly heretofote exorcised
by the primeval bards, he enters into a tour
nament with them to see which can complain
the loudest, and hold forth their grievances
the longest. Although the hardy life of the
Highland ancestors mmst have secured for
them strong lungs, and a great amount ft
'breath, yet still we cannot doubt that the
Chevalier de Bell the victor. We should
judge that his is long continued silence has been
.devoted to a diary-keeping of his wrings, and
that he stands ready to-day to flood us with
the harrowing recital. Be that as it may, so
far he has only threatened, and in his letter
i which we published yesterday, he declines for
the present to ventilate his wrongs, because
"the task was one which was beyond his
' strength," and it is delayed for the present be
cause ,(of the extreme irritability of his ner
vous system." lie, therefore, after giving us
three columns of finely printed matter, is in
duced to "reserve further remarks for a sub-
Boquent article." The present one is quite
enough in its way, and should the author's
health be endangered by a continuation, we
hope he will not jeopardize his valuable lite
even for the national good.
About five years ago, Jonw performed the
famous double equestrian feat of riding round
the political ring with one foot on a loyal and
the other on a Rebel charger. Finding the
position a strained one, he abandoned loyalty,
and became firmly seated on the side of Re
bellion. Since that time his efforts have been
mainly directed towards reaching the other
horse, and to-day, judging from the tone of his
letter, he has so far succeeded as to have once
more assumed the double position so
strikingly presented by him in 18G1. His let
ter Is an effort to favor the North, without ex
citing the South, and consequently he breaks
forth into eulogies over the policy of Axdbkw
Johtcson. Yet, after bestowing the warmest
commendation on the system of restoration,
be announces that the South is at present
. under a despotic government ; that its tyranny
in many instances is galling, and the indigni
ties te which the high-spirited Southerner is
subjected most unbearable and degrading;
J J! 1 II.. 1 i.-l J 1 it
Huuiug, uuwevur, me . cueeriui ueciaruuuu
that the condition in which they are placed Is
irremediable, aad by way of raising future
hopes, assures them "that the darkest days
have probably not yet arrived." All this
savors decidedly of plagiarism, as it is evident
that Mr. Bell has taken Mrs. Gummidge, of
"David Copperfleld" notoriety, as his proto
type. He, like the "poor lone woman," recog
nizes all the agonies of his position, but can
find no relief except in groans.
From what we b ave said it must be evident
that the tone adopted by the illustrious John
' is not such a one as is calculated to rouse the
drooping spirits ot the South. Having thus
assured them that their present position and
tuture prospects are irremediably horrible, he
goes on to speak to them in regard to the
leading questions of the day.
In this part of his letter is found all the real
common sense which that document contains
Speaking of negro suffrage, he advocates its
extension in the Southern States. He then
speaks calmly and dispassionately, andgives
forth advice which is so at variance with the
tone of views he has heretofore advanced as to
be remarkable. He frankly says :
"I am not informed what qualiflcations are
required at the present time lu Massachusetts.
But a lew years as;o. I believe, property to the
value of two hundred and titty dollurs. and to be
able to read and write, entitled the tree tneu of
color to a vote. A qrant of the right of suffrage
to the tkmthim freemen of color upon such a basis
or standard of merit cannot be dangerous. lam
persuaded it would be entirely safe and proper."
When we see men who, like John Bell
have heretofore stood up for white sovereignty,
and who have never uttered a decided opinion
in their lives, without retracting or modifying
it the next minute, coming forth boldly on
a side which, six years ago, would have insured
a trial before Judge Lynch, we may well
hope that there is a good time coming, when
preludice. shall yield to reason, and tyranny
bow voluntarily before .justice.
To te issue of admitting negro testimony
he also yielded assent, although, strange to
say, a less willing one than he did to the
extension of suffrage. While acknowledging
that'afler all the reflection I can give the sub
ject, I believe that the concession of this right
to testify in all cases where the black man is
concerned, is necessary to the security of his
own personal rights ; and, it is my opinion,
if he were allowed to testify in all cases, it
would not be attended with the inconvenience
or disadvantage that is generally apprehended,"
he at the same time goes into a lengthy
defense of the unnatural and tyrannical antipa
thy which has heretofore existed, and does
still exist in the South. The bitter opposition
to which this right is subjected is to us inex
plicable. The black can ride in the carriage,
canbe treated with kindness, and even can

be allowed to vote under certain qualifi
cations ; but the moment he is allowed to tes
tify In a court, where right and justice
only are to be secured, the greatest frenzy
Is visible among the members of the chlvalric
South. Can it be that the privilege thus
accorded to the blacks would render many of
the crimes, even now, openly committed dan
gerous, and thus place the master In a position
of constraint before his servant ?
The remainder of the letter from the Hon.
Jorrj is devoted to a retrospect, the object of
which is not apparent after a careful perusal.
He endeavors, In fact, in the last part,"to
modify the outapoken views declared in the
foimer portion. Had the letter ended in the
middle, we would have given praise to the
author for the enlightenment of his opinions,
but the good effect of the whole is nullified by
the fierce attack on ' the modern enthusiasts,
the radical Republicans." It is in part a bid
lor Southern popularity, an attempt to white
wash the South by abuse of the North, a
second, and even less successful attempt at
the double equestrianism of tbe days of 1331.
We are leady, however, to pass by the bad be
cause of tbe good contained, laying the
former to the score of a naturally weak will
and Irritable nerves, and impatin? the latter
to that flash of sunlight which has illumined
even a mind so vacillating in Its opinions as
that of the Hon. John Bell.
The London " Times" on General Grant.
The London Timet is unquestionably a pow
erful organ in forming the public opinion of
Great Britain. Its opinions are delivered in
tuch an oracular way that imperturbable
John Bull has long accepted them as the very
climax f wisdom and astuteness. To be
mres it is not always reliable in its geographi
cal and general statements in regard to Ame
rican affairs, having sometimes located New
York on the banks of the Rio Grande, and
announced the startling fact that Daniel
Websteb had been arrested for the murder
of Dr. Theodobb Pabker in Boston. These
trifling mistakes will occur occasionally, just
as an American editor might say that Dublin
was beautifully located amid the highlands of
Scotland, or that "a mill" was in contempla
tion between Tom Sayeks and Lord Fal
mkbston, whose recent deaths are not ex
pected to have yet reached our benighted
shore. We do not desire it to be particularly
decided upon the subject of fact the philo
sophical deductions drawn from the premises
are all important.
During the late war the Times was ex
tremely reliable not only in its assertions, but
also in its prophecies. It early announced
that the North lacked the ability to coerce or
force obedience to established authority in the
South. It indulged in the most fulsome flat
tery in commenting upon the heroic daring
of the Rebels, and spoke slightingly of North
era valor it swallowed and apologized for
the cruel system of human bondage which
existed in the Southern States, and compared
it f avorably with the well-rewarded labor of
the factory operatives of Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, forgetful that . Manchester,
and Birmingham, and Sheffield, had been
assisted in the hours ot their need by generous
appropriations from the very operatives that
it has so ungenerously maligned. But it is in
the region of our politics that the " Thun
derer" is at home. - Its American corres
pondents have committed such gigantic
blunders that even stolid England has been
forced to convulse her fat sides with laughter.
We cannot recollect of a single instance in
which the Times has fairly or even intelli
gently represented any of our great public
measures. It never thoroughly caught the
idea of our policy ; or, if it did, persistently
misrepresented us.
Among others who have come in for a fair
share of abuse is our Lieutenant-General
Grant, wno was generally spoken or as "a
blunderer," a "butcher," with very strong in
timations of his. being a coward if not a brute
But for a few weeks past the tone of the paper
is changing, and General Gbant is patron
izingly admitted to be a rising youug man
who, if he has the proper opportunity, will yet
make his mark as a fair military com
mander. We have no doubt that the General
will accept this mark of condescension with
becoming modesty, and not be lifted out of
propriety by the compliment. He must feel
somewhat elated, after having by his indomita
ble energy crushed to atoms the most gigantic
rebellion the world ever saw, to receive fifty
lines of local notice in the London Times.
We do not regard the hypocritical admira
tion of the Times as of any special value to
us. It comes at a wrong time. It might
have been considered as a kindly office when
we were struggling for national life; but
being withheld then, it is simple insolence
now. The crocodile sheds tears, but that is
no reason why we should trust ourselves
within reach of its dangerous jaws. If we are
seduced by a syren Bong, we may awake too
late to discover that we are engulfed in the
seething vortex. " We fear the Greeks bring
ing gifts." We mistrust the newly awakened
kindness of some of our English - friends.
Their soothing cordials and kind nepenthes
may be very pleasant restoratives of former
friendships, but they may turn out to be the
poison of the asp and the venom of the cocka
trice. We desire to have a little more expe
rience before we can clasp our English
brethren warmly by the hand. They may be
very honest, but there is no harm In being
what the Scotch call "a little canny." Our
circumstances have materially changed withiu
the past twelve months, and we can imagine
a great many reasons why John Bull
should be so desirous of establishing pleasant
relations with us. We desire no conflict with
anv foreien nation, much less with one bound
to us by so many tender ties, but it is neces
sary for our Belt-respect, if not to our safety,
to be cautious how we make overtures to
those who have resson to make every path
plain for their own future easy and com'
iortable travel.
The Nenantional.
The French have been long noted for their
fondness for excitement and sensation. Theo
hobe Hook, once stated the fact that it was
a providence that Niaeara Falls was not
within twenty miles of Paris, for if such had
been the case thousands of mercurial French
men would have made morning excursions to
it for the purpose of committing suicide by
casting themselves into its turbulent rapids.
But of late years we have rivalled the French
In our disposition towards the exciting. New
York has been especially active in the matter.
We can recall many things that were myste
rious, but interesting. It got up a bogus baby
in connection with a fearful murder. The
Postmaster absconded with the Government
funds. Tbe female scion of a wealthy house
espoused the coachman. A distinguished
Cuban Inaugurated diamond weddings, greatly
to the benefit of the jewellers, who hired out
the ornamentation at remunerative returns.
A well-known physician was murdered in his
private office, and no trace of the offender
could ever be discovered. A notorious prize
fighter carried a pistol ball in his heart tor
several days before he would consent to shuffle
off this mortal coll. Persons of a lively tem
perament make their wedding trips in a
balloon. A youthful banker peculates a few
millions from his father, and receives two or
three years of confinement at Sing Sing, amid
the falling tsars of the spectators. The wife
of a wealthy merchant is charged with a want
of chastity, and the court-room is crowded
with moire antique and velvet, to listen to the
disgusting details. The last sensation is the
sudden disappearance of a broker, taking with
him seven thousand dollars belonging to his
firm and a young French actress, and leaving
behind him a ruined reputation, a wife and
some little children to suffer the consequences
of bis sin.
Perhaps the metropolis is not singular in
this matter, lucre is too much of the ex
citable in our people. We are at present
living a little too fast. Prodigious crimes are
the order of the day, and we labor under the
stern necessity of visiting retributive justice
upon , broadclothed scoundrels. Petty and
inconsiderable telous, who only steal enough
to eat and wear, never escape conviction, and
society winks at show made upon money
made dishonestly. Herein we are giving a
premium to vice and crime. We are practi
cally saying that intensity of guilt makes it
venial. It has passed into a proverb that it
Is impossible to convict when the pocket is
well lined with gold or greenbacks. Every
citizen owes it to himself to labor to change
public sentiment in this direction. "Vice will
never be punished so long as jurors fail to
come up to the discharge of their duties. The
law is never vindictive, but it should admin
ister justice without fear or favor. When we
begin to frown upon and detect great crimes,
they will cease, and certainly not before. It
is our duty to measure the punishment of
crime just in proportion to the enormity of
the offense, and then we may hope to see
righteous retribution meted out to the high as
well as the low.
The
Punishment for Countcrfetlng The
Necessity ot a Rigorous Law.
The immense volume of currency which has
flooded our eountry, and the extensive variety
of its denominations, size, and design, has ren
dered counterfeiting tne national notes a
matter of considerable ease and no great dan
ger. The profits accruing from the crime are
sufficient to counterbalance all fear of detec
tion, and the successful engraving of a single
plate is rewarded by an almost unlimited issue
of fraudulent notes. The damage thus done
by a single daring encroacher on the law
may be almost irremediable, and in proportion
as the danger to our credit increases, so also
siiouia tne rigor ot punishment, it is em
phatically necessary, in order to protect the
people and continue their confidence, that
every step should be taken towards prevent
ing all persons from attempting to flood the
land with spurious notes.
borne time since we referred to such a ne
cessity, ana we are giaa to see that tne argu
ments first urged by us in favor of a more
rigorous law have been approved by our con
temporaries, and the subject is now being
agitated in various parts of the country. A
number of cur brother editors are favoring the
making of counterfeiting a capital crime. We
cannot agree that death, and only death, will
restrain such as are desirous of leaving the
paths of honesty, and creating through crime, a
colossal fortune. We do not approve, our
selves, of making counterfeiting an offense of
an equal magnitude, and consequent equal
punishment, with murder. Should such a law
be passed as to make conviction punishable
by imprisonment for life, and such a restric
tion be placed upon the pardoning power as
to incapacitate it from granting forgiveness to
such as have bee a legally convicted, after a
fair trial, we consider that the law would be
much more effective, and much oftener exe
cuted. It the stupidity and prejudice of our
juries will not allow them to convict a pretty
woman of murder, when she is known to have
wilfully killed two men, because her neck
would come within the nocse ; if two homi
cides cannot induce them to deem her worthy
of death, what prospect is there that any of
these intelligent peers would consider a man
worthy of death for counterfeiting a bill ? The
very severity of the law would act as a nulli
fier of its full effect. Tbe result is that either
a more moderate, yet not less fearful sentence
must be secured, or else pass a statute which
wo aid be merely nominal.
We therefore faver Imprisonment for lite, in
solitude, without the power being given to
any officer to pardon. By such a course the
enforcement of the sentence would be produced
and a much more salutary eflect secured,
than by Imposing a sentence which will never
be enforced, and whose ouly power would be
in Its name, and against which, also, all Chrfatl-

An Attempted Senatorial Assassination.
Th Attaok on Sknatob Wade. Tho threaten
ing demonstration madr on Senator Wapk, of
Uhio, on Wednesday night, was by a man well
known to another Senator, and upon whom he
ca'lcd a short time alter loavinir Mr. Wadk, but
not in the way ol menace. The offender is from
Massacnusetts, and has hnretotore been in trou-
DiO'Uotu here and elsewhere.
The above lucid and satisfactory despatch
was published In yesterday's papers as an
explanation of the rumored attack, or Intended
attack, on Senator B. F. Wade, and is a fair
sample of the ambiguity which characterizes
many ot the telegraphic messages sent by
the Associated Press. The information con
veyed is darkly mystarious, and smacks of the
days of tho Borgias. ' " The man who called
on Senator Wade" was known by "another
Senator," on whom he " called, but not in way
of menace." "The offender is from Massa
chusetts." What offender? The Senator
whom the despatch insinuates employed the
man "of gigantic proportions," or the "man
himself?" If either of them design to injure
Mr. Wade, they had better hide their heads
for shame the Senator for hiring a man
whose only recommendation was his having a
size to rival the Arabian genii, and the man
for allowing his intended victim to quietly
leave the room and secure a pistol.
In fact, the whole tale of this tragedy has
something of the fabulous about it, and until
it can be cleared away, we object to tho Asso
ciated Press exhausting the energy it pos
sesses in tangling up the skein of evidence
and casting an insinuation at another Senator,
and that without any circumstantial testimony
being given. There is no news conveyed in
talking about another Senator knowing a man
who endeavored to assassinate the occupant
of the Ohio senatorial chair. If there has
been any misdeeds, let the names ot all im
plicated be given, as well as the skeleton
theory, which has no material apparently for
a foundation.
Is STEriiE8' Letter Genuine ? A
contemporary having stated that the letter
from James Stephens to John O'Mauont
bore internal evidence of being a forgery,
it seems to be but due to those who have
accepted the letter as a genuine communica
tion from the President of the Irish Republic,
that all doubt should be set at rest. We
are requested to state that Mr. Michael
Catille, delegate from the Philadelphia
Circle to the late Congress, saw the manu
script of the document, and having known
Stephens for years, and being perfectly
familiar with his writing, takes his affidavit to
the letter being written in the President's
hand, and to its being in tone similar to the
one published in the public press.
