MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 18G6. The Loss of the "Aew Ironsides." The Iobs of the United States frigate New Ironsides Is a national calamity. Sua was the best Iron-clad In our ntvy, ami one of the most formidable war veesels in the world She was associated witli some .of the most brilliant achievements ol the late war, and gained a world-wide reputation. The circumstances attending the destruc tion of this vessel would seem to reflect upon the naval authorities. It Is evident that no sufficient preparation had been made to guard against just such a disaster as has now over taken our best vessel. Wh en the fire broke out there wore no appliances at hand for sub duing it, and the best that could be done was to batten do w n the hatchways, and send to this city for assistance. Before that arrived the Teasel was a mass of flame, and it was only by the most strenuous exertions of the firemen that the fire was prevented Iroin spreading to the neighboring vessels. Congress, too, In the loss of this splendid and costly shlp-of-war, may trace the work ings of its short-sighted policy in regard to the League Island matter. Ilere are our iron-clad vessels the very life of our navy laid up on private premises, and confided to the care of a handful of watchmen. Had League Island been accepted for a naval site, a9 all the Interests of the country have ong demanded, this vessel could hardly have been lost. As matters now stand, it was by mere good luck that the Dictator and the Atlanta were not consumed also. We hope that this disaster will arouse Congress to the necessity of immediately making adequate provision or the wants of the navy, and that the naval authorities will meantime take measures for the more perfect protection of uur iion-clads at League Island. M Little Pleasantries" That debatable ground for conflict of arms botween the North and South the city of Washington has again witnessed a little melee between "distinguished gentlemen." The facts of tfie case are rather interesting. Dr. Sidney, of Mississippi, has been a staunch Unionist throughout the war. Judge Abel has been an intense secessionist since "reason held her sway in h's distracted globe." Some two years Bince a difficulty between these gentlemen resulted in a rencontre, in which pistol shots were exchanged, but "nobody hurt." After this slight exhibition of frlen-lly relations, the parties did not meet until, on Tuesday last, they came face to face in the CaDital prniinrfa Immediately upon behold ing the Doctor, the J udge advanced, and with in, any orevlous provocation, saluted him Southerner 1" Sidney, s;iuuui.,.l.rn(yaift adage that '' Actions speak louder than words," preserved a sublime silence, and knocked the Judge down. One would have supposed that the Judge, when he made such an attack, would have naturally been pre pared for such a catastrophe, and have armed himself for the emergency ; but no such fore sight was exhibited. Ho sooner was the form of his Honor picked up, than he peace fully departed, and in the afternoon sent a challenge, which, being accepted, waj fol lowed in the evening by a note of apology, in which the legal functionary stated that his salutation to Dr. Sidney was intended as 'a little pleasantry." . "Now, if you leave a man at two in the morning," says Dickens, "la the best possible humor, and meet him again at ten, and he, without provocation, calls you a serpent, it is natural to suppose that something has happened." The same logic applies to the present case. If you fight a duel with a man on a political difference, and the next time he meets you he advances, without a word of explanation, and calls you a ('d d rene gade," it is natural to suppose that he desires another fight. But this logic has proved fallacious.' An oath and an epithet of oppro brium Is merely a "little pleasantry!" We have our own theory In regard to the probabilities of the case. We cannot but think that the Judge did not expect the Doctor to resent the insult. Imbued with the idea that the supremacy of the South for courage was still an acknowledged fact, he thought that he could Insult with impuuity a man who bad been true to his country. The rapid blow and the immediate acceptance of challenge proved his mistake. It is seldom that we find a case in the code of honor in which the party who is struck, and who sends challenge, is the one to apologize. A blow generally calls forth something more than a mere explanation. We should suppose that the notes which contained the "little pleasantry" gave a word of warning lor the future. "Twice you have kicked me, sir; three times you have smacked my face ; now beware of a Nixth offense." The despatch which tells us of the occur rence also adds that "the friends of the par tlis are very indignant at the result." It Is strange, for most irlends design to act as seconds. The dramatist represents the unfortunate "Bob Acres" as begging his friend to Rive bU love to ids family, which la entirely dependent on him lor support, and eagerly asking ilm whether he does not think his duty demands that he should rifce above passion, and live to maintain them. And the fliend assuring him thai he will TIIE PAlLY EVENING TErjEGliAPII. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, i DECEMBER IT, 18GG. give his exact words, and see that h'a famIN y is made comfortable', Is a very good lostance of the solicitude of friends for your honor. ' From this foolish Instance we can draw a lesson. Let us advise our Southern neigh bors to dispense with all "little pleasantries," nnd we hope that for Its own Rood the South will acknowledge that all Its course In regard to reconstruction Is only a "little peasantry ," and with an apology rectify the errors of ita way. If the South had a few more Judge Abels, It ' might have less courage, but It would certainly possr-B more common sense. Manufacturing Popularity. " Philadelphia. December lfi. The lamest PVuVence ever assembled in the Academy of Music waR nspmb1pd lust nl-iht to witness the performance of Histori as 'Queen Kllr.abeth.' t-lie was heqiientlv billed with acclamations of rtelieht. To morrow niht she will perforin in lelxrrah, nnd on Tuesday repeat 'Mary Stuart."1 Special despatch to Vie 'Ntw York World. . The above despatch Is a lair specimen of how popularity is manufactured. In addition to its being on a subject in which' the New York public can take no interest, it is false In its statement. The house on both occasions on which Elizabeth was played was good, and enly good. The stockholders' seats were empty, and the upper parts were thinly scat ercdwit'a people. Madame. Kistori has ap peared five nights only, two Of which have been good, the remaining three barely pay .'ng expenses. When. she-played Thxdra the scene was, fearfully dreary. About one-third of . the audience was . asleep, By means of these false despatches It Is hoped to create & furor In New York. If the metropolis Imitate the Quaker City, it will not go Bistort mad. ... . , Howard on Steedman and Fullertou. Tde report of General O. . O. Howard, In re lation to the published accusations of General Steedman and Fullerton, in. the Freedmen's Bureau, bas been made public. It is a scath ing review of the course of these officers, and boldly lays the cilme of suppressing and altering facts to their charge. He naturally observes that It seems strange that officers so long relieved irom duty shou'd have been selected to perform so important an investiga tion. The article utterly annihilates the at tacks of the Inspectors, and places the Bureau In the true light that of a protector of the weak and an administrator of justice. General Howard conclusively proves that the safety of the blacks and the peace of the Southern States alike demand its continuance. Discussion Between Messrs. Wade and Sumner. Messes. Wadk and Sumiteb had some dis cussion in the Senate on Friday, as to whether Congress was committed to the ad mission of Representatives from the so called Southern States upon the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment the former con tending that it was, the latter that it was not. Practically, this question is not likely to amount to much, as the Southern Legisla tures ate refusing t adopt the amendment. Should they adopt it, however, during the present whiter, there is no doubt but that their Representatives would be immediately admitted. The precedent set In the case of Tennessee would undoubtedly be followed. Judge Worbell, of New York, has Issued oiutiB, uo iuu,bi TTejt.en," and "orders them to be held to bail In $3000 each. The com plaint is made by one Odell, who has lost $35,000 in his policy 1 flips. It Is strange that we never hear of complaints made by those who win from the bank. Probably none ever win. The Hon. M. C. need not fear imprisonment, as after the 4th of March it would be a breach of privilege. We think we can understand the feelings of the faro dealer when he franks letters. Probably the lines apply to him which say: ''lie feels as hlph aain As a dozen nobler men ' Wbenhesipns himself 'the Honorable John."' SPECIAL NOTICES. gggP NEWSPAPER ADVEHTISING.-JOV; COE A CO..N.

The rapidly Increasing use or these Instruments in drawing rooms has espeoiallr encoar sged the manufacture of a variety of rery elegant styles, which lll compare farorably in beauty of design and flnleh, with any p eces ot furniture produced la the country. It has always been tbe Inflislble purpose of Mason A Ha HUN to secure the VEBY BEST qualities of mate rial and workmanship, and the nearest approach to per fection possible In every depaitment of their work, Borer allowing any sacrifice of excellence to economy of manutaolure.

Ia order .to meet the demand, for low priced instru ments, Mason & Hamlin have commanced the manufac ture oi a new series of Organs, the design of which is to furnish, really good Instruments In the most economical form, and at the lowest prices possible. Ihey are smaller In flze and more compact than the Cabinet Organa. and hence wl l be known as The mason 4 Hamlin Tobtablb Oboans.
