SUPPLEMENT.
Wont ol Decency Is Want of Sense."
Most of our readers have probably seen Mr.
Charles Reade'? letter to the world In general,
in reply to a criticism on his "Griffith Gaunt"
which appeared In the New York Bound
Table. In that wonderful epistle we hare
exhibited how a man of talent, education,
and literary culture can so far lose his tem
per as to descend into the lowest pit of scur
rility, and revel in epithets which might
have done honor to a fishmonger of Bil
lingsgate. We have seldom read a letter
more calculated to depress us in our
estimation of literature and literary
men than the one before us. It can have but
one good eflect to show how supremely silly
a man looks when he commits his ebullitions of
passion to paper. A man who has lost his
temper Is always at a disadvantage. Ilia op
ponent, if he keeps cool, can always defeat
him. But in a personal rencontre there is a
possibility of passion preventing passion, or of
violence cowering the adversary. When he
0ies a letter, these chances in his favor are
no longer good. lie confronts a number of
cool critics, each of whom has no cause to be
indignant, and on whom no influence of fear
can operate. His passion seethes and boils,
and almost turns his mind, while his audi ora
are all cool and collected.
Under just such a disadvantage has Mr.
Reade unfortunately placed himself. We do not
pretend to consider here what are the merits
or demerits of "Griffith Gaunt." We opine
that the criticism of the Round Table, al
though rather too severe, was in the main
just; that the book is Immoral, and a con
demnation of it is merited . But even were the
attack most just, would that excuse a
writer of Mr. Reade's fame in so far demean
ng himself and his profession as to call the
editor of a weekly magazine " a beast t" Yet
his is what Mr. Reade does in distinct
hrasea. He demands, " What can this benst
mean V Now this is really too bad.
In addition to the disgusting language ined
by Mr. Reade, his whole letter is the most
illy exhibition of vanity that we have ever
been called upon to read. We make no ex
ceptions. A school girl just from a diet of
elate pencils could not be more vain of her
curls and her poetry thaa is this man of forty
ol his reputation. To properly appreciate
one's own influence is alj very well, and it is
only right that a man should have a due esti
mate of his own powers. But an exhibition
so thoroughly childish as that ma le by Mr.
Reade makes us blush tor our profession and
sex. He originates a name which, he says,
"will supply a defect in our language," and
which, "iu a few weeks, will run around the
Union." He calls "Griffith Gaunt? bis "mas
terpiece," and states that "it has for months
floated the Argosy," and "been eagerly read
by .thousands in the Atlantic." Now, this
may all be true, but for the author to say so
is positively disgusting.
Mr. Reade tells us that he intends to "col
lar" the editor of the Bound Table and try
him before a jury of hi-i countrymen. That
the editor ot the Bound Table richly de
serves collaring, we have no doubt ; but lor
the article tor which the punishment is to be
inflicted, he deserves anything but chastise
ment lie only expressed the views of thou
sands of moral people, and he only expressed
our vie vs. If we remember correctly, we
stated several weeks before the Bound Table
that "Griffith Gaunt" was not fit for house
hold reading. Possibly we may be collared
also.
Mr. Reade will find by sad experience that
to fling dirt at an enemy is no way to excite
sympathy. Had he come in a manly, modest
letter, and appealed to the right-thinking
portion of our community Against any
supposed grievance, he would have received
attention, and, if injustice was done,
reparation. As it Is, he has only estranged
All the decent portion of the reading Ameri
can world from him, and made them think
that he is personally a man well fitted to
write "Griffith Gaunt." When the case is
brought for trial we will see some rich deve
lopments; but Mr. Reade will find that "want
of decency is want of sense," and that the
American people demand from all who ad
dress them both sense and decency. The
Bound Table concludes its reply this week as
follows :
"And so, in the course of our labors, it has
become our duty, in honesty and sincerity, to
warn tbe reading public against a wicked, im
pure, and pernicious novel. The author has
finally and fully witnessed tbe truth of our as
sertions by an inexpressibly disgusting letter.
Many I eel now that which they may have been
in doubt about before, that, as a novelist, Mr.
Iteade has richly deserved all that has been
spoken of him in these columns. Hereafter he
will be watched most closely, while those who
esteemed him for many things rannot but (eel
the gieatest regret that any Englishman of his
repute should prove himself a rowdy and a
bully. It is to be hoped that his suit at law
m ill bring to light tome redeeming feature on
its behalf." .
A country correspondent of the Pa l Mall
Oazt 9 tells about a groom in his neighbor
hood who always stipulated with his em
ployer that he should be allowed a fortnight
a year to stay drunk in a week at Christmas
and a week at Whitsuntide. Every third year
he got himself dUmlsied by getting drunk at
a unauthorized time.

Woman n a CongreaMonnl Cnndidnte.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady bTAvrow, a lady
not unknown to the public, has announced
herself ts an Independent candidate for Con
gress in the Eighth New York District, In
opposition to James Brooks. The Ucrald
grows merry over the fact, and says :
"Mr. James Brooks ts to be opposed, in the
Lieht District, by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
and is sure to be beaten. Besides the fact that
an intelligent, handsome, and educated laly
like Mis. Stanton is a far better representative
ol this metropolis than an old woman like Mr
Brooks, we have yet to see an American wb
would be tinga'laut cnoueh to vote against th
fair sex; and we consequently consider tbe Hon
Mrs. Elizabeth Gnd.y SiantoD, M. C, a futur
certainty. If sbe cannot teach our other mem
hers of Congrcus to ttlk less, she can at least
chow them how to talk better."
Another thing In Mrs. Stanton's favor
with the Democracy, is that she announces
herself as a free trader, politically, while
Brooks used to be a Whig, and may, therefore,
be liable to a suspicion of unsoundness on the
tariff question.
Cold Comfoit.
The Democrats aie vainly endeavoring to
extract some corsolation from the recent
returns. They are welcome to all they can
get. Our majorities are large enough In
every State for all practical purposes, while
on the vital question of Congress ' our triumph
is overwhelming. The November elections
ill all be one way. The Democracy cannot
make as hard a fight anywhere else as they
did here. The leal contest was settled last
Tuesday.

exception of two or three sonnets contributed
by him to the clever 'revived, Literary Qazettv,
which perished after eight or nine number,
and two or three pieces in amateur publications,

PRETTY ACTRE3SES.
The classic taste for bHrlesque which has
been so sedulously cultivated, has given rise to
a set of performers who can lay claim to being
original and primitive upon more ground than
one. That the species always existed we have
Mifficlent evidence, but it developments take
so strong and decided a part In the modern
shape, that, except in wide lines, we cannot
assume that the parent is altogether represented
by the offspring. There are, ot couro, points
of icsemblance, but they are few, and not at all
of a character to be particularized. Some of
them we may touch upon, but others do not
admit of disquisition. Without recalling the
"palmy days of the drama" to give an authority
to the opinion, we are Inclined io believe that
tlere never was a time in the history of the
stage w hen our actresses exposed themselves so
much bejond the degree required for the honest
purposes of their art as, the present.
Tbe female gentlemen of our burlesques dla
play themselves in a tashlon which Indicates the
level to which the profession has fallen, and the
manner in which their saucy altitudes are ap
plauded serves to bhow that they have indeed
succeeded in making the taate by whloh they
are enjoyed. When a famous French novelist.
habitually dressed in a coat and trousers, it was
said of her that the disguise would havo been
complete if 6he had only been a little more
modest; and when a young lady now struts her
plantation dr.nce, wriggles the jockey step, or
flings the sailor's hornpipe, one Is tempted to
indulge in the reflection that the representa
tions would be the more perfect for abiut as
much reserve as would render them decent. It
is not much for us to boant that our dialogues
are free from the brutalities of Wycherlyor
V'anbriigh, if we supplement street music with
gestures systematically unchaste, and encourage
women as undraped as acrobats to illustrate
by their deportment quite as much immodesty
as would season a comedy of the old school.
The costumes worn by actresses in our bur
lesques are evidently designed without the least
affectation even of coquetry. The singing
chambermaid, with her apron and front pockets,
moves in a legitimate circle of influence; her
nods and walk are fair business; she uses a
woman's grace to enlist our sympathies in her
part, and perhaps slightly in her own prettlness;
but it is quite another matter when the wears
ber pockets differently, whn there is nothing
for tbe sex to lelire Into, and when with an im"
pudent daring she upsets at a strut every notion
we might have had of that feminine sense which
ought to distinguish a lady. It Is a bad feature
in the pretty actrcPs, too, that in mauy cases,
not only does she look to the gallery for ap
plause, but she may oceasbnally bo detected
ogling a side box in which the occupant is
carefully retired.
We are not tbe least concernel for the special
repute of actresses; they have quite enough of
advocates in the pns. Thi critics hve ex
hausted the epithets of praise upon them.
Funny writers are funnily complimentary;
writers the reverse of comic are solemnly
tender with them lugubriously affectionate.
What the amount ot virtue amongst them mny
be we have no way of determining, and a great
deal of private virtue is quite compatible wiih
the degraded vici jusness of a branch of art;
still the actresses are, beyond a doubt, spoiled
into a style of exhibition which places them on
the very confines which divide the pure from
the Impure; and if ihey cheese to play tliere,
it can do them no har ax to learn the exact posi
tion they have been induced to assume.
It is possible we may be reminded of the
"Garter" motto, but there is little faith nowa
days In the guilelessuess of White Quakers, or
in the flimsy reasons behind which any other
form of Imprudence disrobes. Stage Dianas
may regard their Greek and natural integu
menta as quite consistent with the accepted
reputation of the goddess, aud m doing so
may loop up a single garment until It as nearly
as possible defeats the object of a garment
faltogether; but they must be prepared to have
a second interpretation placed upon the mode
in which the cold divinity is personiUed. We
have seen a feminine Apollo within a few inches
of being Belvidere, and a female Jupiter who
could, with a Blight change, have appeared as
Menken. In fact, heathendom histrionically sets
its face and legs against the innovation of cloth
ing to within a tunic such as Mrs. Leo Hunter
proposed to adopt, and such as Mr. Leo Hunter
incontinently objected to. Even this tunic is
being curtailed, and is following the wake of
the bonnet of ordinary life. When the nor
demands a long gown, the Invariable rule now
followed in such a distressing case of ob
structed talent, is to have the gown tucked to
the knee at one side at least, and the strate
geras by which that side is kept to wards the
audience proves how genius, even when tram
melled, is able to take advantage of any little
change for the employment of its choicest ac
complishment?. But it is not on the staee alone that our
pretty actresses figure so attractively. Oolley
Cibber regretted the exigency of the dramatic
calling by which the instant graces of the
player were lost to the world; but he knew
nothing of photography, or of the camera sort
of graces which the lady performers of our
time are secure of Transmitting to posterity.
You may buy thelrportraits exactly as you have
seen them perfoim. If there is a slight differ
ence, tbe difference gives you the benent of
more than you noticed behiud the footlights.
The pretty actresses are fast driving the pets'
of the bullet to a desperate rivalry of atti
tudes. In truth, they havo already done as
much for the carte shops as English dancers
and it is only the Frenchwomen who can boat
them on their own ground, and, we must
admit, give them odds. Nor are you left in the
dark, having paid your shilling, as to the
Identity ot the lady whose picture you may
purchase. Not only do you get her name, bat
you are presented with the familiar diminutive
by which she chooses to be set down in the
bills.
Our pretty actresses desire to linger in the
memory ot the swell, the cad, the snob,
nd tbe gent by those mincing names
which denote cordiality and acquaintance.
Once or twice a year an opportunity is taken 01
rendering this cordiality almost intimate; for
the swell, the cad, the enob, and the gent are
invited to a bazaar, and at a small outlay can
speakwith the deities. and 8tare at tJm t0
their eyes content. 8o that there isnoretl
cence whatever on the part of the pretty ao
treses. Easy on the stage, free and easy l the
SATURDAY", OCTOBER 13,
cartes, literal In their fascinations at special
fetes, we cannot determine whore this gene
rosity will ceao. We shall not Imitate Matthew
Prynne, and hint that the rinderpest or the
cholera are judgments for the airiness and viva
city ot those theatrical ladies, nor do we think
any worse will come of their vulgarlzfn a
noble prolesslon than the fact itself of their
debasing It; but the public will discover this in
time, and the genuine artists will get to the
fiont.
Women are by their nature fitted for thestagc;
but they are best fitted for it as women, not as
improbable boys, or other questionable nonde
scriptsv Female beauty, archness, and mobility
can all be diverted into decorous and amusing
channels, without being pressod Into competi
tion with that Impudence whose professional
fiponents had once a gallory get apart In our
playhouses. We perhaps owe all this to the In
troduction of spectacle; but there is a sort of
crave for It now which mut be regarded from
every point of view as deplorab.e. The prac
tice is imitated in a clumsier style at certain
music halls, and no enleitainment in Loudon
appears to be complete without whole troopsor
young glr?s who cannot be Intended for any
thing but exhibition, Inasmuch as they have no
idea whatever of dancing. Tbe Idiotic gambols
In which they keep time to the music are pain
ful to witness.
A thlck-ankled Tagllonl flouncing heavily
twice, and then, with immense and evident
cxeition, sustaining herself on one leg; or a
would-be Cerito coming out with a flip-flap and
a course of hops, and then running away with
the grace of a Cochin-China fowl such is the
etyle of a modern ballet as encouraged at the
singing taverns. The partners who engage in
figures with these brilliant performers are got
up like our pretty aciressas, aud never venture
a jacket longer than that of a coastguard man.
However, they are unable, in consequence of
the law, to become quite as Olympian as the
latter. Their diversions are limited to dumb
show, but they make the most of the opportuni
ties within their reach. It is really a pity to
prevent them from emphasizing their sportlve
ness with tbe slang choruses and dialogues of
the burlesque.
As far as Intellect, refinement, or decency is
concerned, there is no distinction between
what they do and what the pretty actresses do.
Both contribute the same degree of moral en
tertainment to the minds of their respective
audiences. Both arc encouraged by slnilar
expressions of approval and gratification. The
appetite fed by managerial enterprise at the
theatres is identical with that which the music
hall proprietors endeavor to satisfy. To be as
fcured of this, we have only to watch the old
boy, well pidded and preserved, with his
rbcumy eyes fixed on the vtage while Diana ex
horts her attendant nymphs, and compare the
pious and intelligent expression of his counte
nance with that of an honest old mechanic or
fhopkeeper who is makiug a night of it at a
music hall, aud rapping his dingy knuckles on
(he beer-damp tables while the premiere dan
seuse shakes her toe on a level with the top ot
his head. The London heview.
