The Art of (Jiving.
From the Tribune.
The presont is denounced by a great many
philosophers, and not n few poets, ns a grossly
Inaterial ago, joined to tho idols of the Kx
rliange, and given up to making money. There
Is in this a certain truth which is by no means
a discouraging one. War no longer being tho
main business of mankind and the safety
valve of superfluous human energy, produc
tion and commerce have taken its place, to
the great disgust of the manufacturers of
Torsos. There t3 an end, say they, of high
aim and generous purposes, and the world
Las grown altogether selfish and sordid. We
cannot help thinking that it will do these
grumblers good to read the newspapers.
What is mere military fame unconnected with
patriotism worth when compared with tho
reputation which Mr. Ueorgo Peabody, a plain
merchant, has established for centuries,
simply by giving away his money judi
ciously? Admitting the occasional value
of war, Mr. Feabodv does that kindly
and gracefully which the Wellingtons
and Bonapartes did cruelly and coarsely.
With our little knowledge of history, we do
not remember a period with such a power, and
we may say passion, for giving as the present.
Our charity, too, it must bo remembered, is
tolerably independent of ecclesiastical stimu
lus, laying men now give, it is true, to reli
gion, but they do not think that they will be
damned for not giving; nor does the Church
get all, and other proper objects of liberality
comparatively nothing. Alms-giving in the
nineteenth oentury is catholic in the best sense
of the word; and while our wealthy men do
not forget meeting-houses.and the missionaries,
they remember tho value of convenient tene
ments, hospitals, baths, libraries, picture gal
leiies, and universities for teaching something
besides theology. There is an established habit
of giving. The opulent are expected to
bestow, and capitalists, living or dying, to
found something.
When a rich man rich enough, we mean, to
be notable is gathered to his fathers, the
world, sure that it is coming in for a legacy,
opens its ears to hear the will read, and the
reporters go up to tho probate otlice to take
notes and to publish them. It is to the credit
of human nature, it is the sutlicient refutation
of the Kochefoucaulds and the Swifts, it is a
proof that the old parsimony of the drama is
no longer common, when we lind a custom of
benevolence established, and a tacit admission
ou the part ofCnesus that he holds his gold
in trust for his fellow-creatures.
5ut the most lavish generosity is nothing,
except by accident, unless wisely directed,
lie who founds a hospital for cats must look
to the cats for gratitude. It is the crowning
glory of our modern charity that it walks hand
in hand with science and letters, and seeks
nothing so fervently as to make men wiser,
anil happier, and better.
There are many things in themselves ex
tremely desirable which must be hopelessly
out of the reach of the poor, however indus
trious and virtuous, unless the wealthy make
them accessible; and among these we may
reckonjbooks in large collections, museums
of art and science, picture galleries, and parks.
When a rich man recognizes the value of
these, we may be sure that cent per cent has
not altogether hardened his heart nor ob
scured his brain. If some of these things are
not according to his tastes and habits, he sub
mits to be advised, waives his own prejudices,
and defers to the judgment of those who may be
more enlightened than himself. Such a conces
sion (which we suppose Mr. Uirard and Mr.
Astor both made) to the higher opinions of
mankind proves that money-getting and
money-hoarding are not incompatible with gene
rous emotions and elevated Tiews. The real,
genuine, traditional old hunks is going out of
fashion, and we trust in fifty years more will
become as extinct as the mastodons and the
megatheriumis. For this, in America, at
least, we are indebted to the abolition of the
laws of primogeniture and entail, and to the
delightful impossibility which here 'exists of
founding a family. This wise feature of our
legislation has made the rich man what he
ought to be the servant, the benefactor, the
Good Samaritan of society. He toils for the
power and the pleasure of making a will
which shall diU'tiso happiness, increase social
comfort, and promote tho morals and the
manners of his race. If he can do this he may
consider himself eminently favored of fortune.
There are many poor men to whom the gods
have not given the gift of gathering, who are
impatient only of their material mediocrity
when they keenly feel how much it lessens
their power of doing good. To these, however,
is left the rich consolation of that blessing
which is bestowed upon those who "do what
they can."
It is, as we have said, a fashion now to be
benevolent. When the historian of these days
in which we live shall record our successes
and our shortcomings, what wo did and what
we left undone, ho will be forced by his very
materials to recognizo the liberality and the
charity which are characteristics of our age;
and, if he funis no individual distinguished
and prominent, like Howard, C'larkson, Wil
berforce, or Elizabeth Fry, it will be because
the law of kindness has touched so many
hearts, and a wise benevolence has opened so
many purses and so many hands.
Soldiers oil the Sltuntlou.
From the Times.
The "summer soldiers and sunshine pa
triots "are the great obstacles to reconcilia
tion in both sections. The loss their familiar
ity with saltpetre, the more fierce are they
in invective, and the more ferocious in their
demands. Having kept out of harm's way
when real danger was to bo incurred, they are
now valiant in their vows, and their talk
Bounds like thunder. At the North they in
sist upon the right of the con.iueror to hang
and despoil. At the South they declaim
against concession, spurn the idea of peace,
and swagger with an insolence truly savage.
Of all the outcry for punishment and con
tinued exclusion, how much proceeds from
genuine heroes, and how much from charla
tans and braves who never Bhouldered a
rifle f It is not tirant who calls for confisca
tion and disfranchisement, and tho impeach
ment of every man who stands in his way
hut Butler. Sherman, too, wants peace on
the basis of mutual concession ; Butler will
have none of it. The soldiers who conquered
tlie South who did the fighting, encountered
dancers, and finally extinguished the Re
bellionare, generally speaking, anxious for
the restoration of the South to its share iu the
Government, and seek no more severe exac
tions than are necessary to satisfy the re
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
qnirements of the loyal States. They are,
almost to a man, content with the basis now
laid down, and would deprecate new condi
tions or harsher penalties. The trouble comes
from "bomb-proof brigadiers, and gallants
who wear shoulder-straps they did not fairly
earn.
To this aspect of the case the South presents
a counterpart. Thorn, as here, fiery words
are uttered, defiance and denunciation are
indulged, and appeals to Southern spirit are
urged with persistent fierceness, l'ride and
honor are invoked, anil the people aro told
to confront Yankee vandalism with Spartan
endurance. The talkers all the time aro sheer
impostorscreatures who carried on rebellion
in the recesses of a printing oilice, with no
fear of draft before their eyes, or who pro
fited by tho opportunities of Jeff. Davis' reign
to do Government service beyond the roar of
cannon. The genuine soldiers are taking
their pesitions on the other side. Chalmers
and Wade Hampton were heard trom many
days ago. Lee has spoken moro recently and
more authoritatively. He desires no renewal
of relellion. Ho sees nothing in the condi
tions of the Reconstruction act which tho
South may not and should not accept. Its
oath to him is no obstacle; it may be taken
by every Southern man, he thinks, without
sacrifice of self-respect.
If Lee's counsel determine the course of
Virginia, that State will be one of tho first to
regain its place in the Union. And now we
have tidings of Kick Taylor and Longstreet
lino specimens of tho Southern soldier, and
whose views will outweigh those of the
Georgia Jenkinses wherever Southern feeling
predominates. Taylor has for months labored
as a peace-maker. He was present at the
Philadelphia Convention, and soon thereafter
became satisfied that the South could not too
quickly comply with the conditions demanded
by the North. He would have ratitied the
Constitutional Amendment then ; he would
comply with tho terms of tho law now. He
is at present in Washington as a represen
tative of the Louisiana Legislature, upon
w hose members he has pressed tho duty and
expediency of acknowledging the facts of the
situation. To his influence, it is said, Wade
Hampton's change of opinion is in part
attributable. Longstreet's letter places him
above the chance of misrepresentation. No
false pride blinds him to the stern reality.
"The striking ieature," he writes, "and the
one that our people should keep in view is,
that we are a conquered people." From this
startingp-oint his reasoning is clear.
"Accept the terms," is the sum of his advice,
which he contends involve no humiliation.
"We have made an honest, and I hope that I
may say, a creditable light, but we have lost.
Let Jus come forward, then, and accept the
ends involved iu the struggle." Bravo words,
bravely spoken. The General does not trouble
himself concerning the possibilities of bad
faith on the part of Congress. He will not
concede their existence, because he cannot
admit that the representative men of a great
nation could make "the pledge they have
made, and then break it." The duty of the
South, at any rate, as Longstreet sees it, is
plain. "Let us accept the terms as we are iu
duty bound to do; and if there is a lack of
gooil faith, let it be upon others."
The influence of these utterances must be
great throughout the South. Lee, Longstreet,
Taylor, Chalmers, Hampton what combina
tion of mere politicians shall avail as against
these men among the Southern population f
The New Orleans Times, to whose editor Long
Street addressed his letter, remarks that its
views "are generally entertained by gentle
men of his class and position." The time is
not distant, we confidently believe, when they
will receive the practical endorsement of tho
excluded States.
Napoleou uud ilamik,
Fi cm the Herald.
Our cable announcements for the last few
days in regard to certain deeply significant
movements on the part of Prussia and France
have naturally created not a little excitement.
On the one hand we learn that, by means of
tieaties concluded with Bavaria, Wurteinborg,
and the grand duchy of Baden, Prussia has
put herself in a position in which she will be
able to command the entire military strength
of tho South German Confederation. On the
other hand, we are told that the Emperor
Napoleon favors a confederation of the Gov
ernments of France, Holland, Belgium, and
Switzerland against Prussia, and that the
recent movements of Prussia engendered in
Franco considerable bitterness of feeling a
bitterness of feeling which has doubtless been
increased by a knowledge of the fact that King
Leopold of Belgium refuses to enter into the
l.mperor's proposed confederation.
Prussia and France aro assuming more and
more the attitude of antagonists. We do not
say that there is danger of an immediate col
lision. But both on the one side and on the
other there is a visible struggle for supremacy
and an unconcealed anxiety to be ready for
any emergency. It is curious to see how, in
this, as in other matters, Bismark has success
fully reduced to practice the. teachings of
Napoleon. Napoleon was the first to proclaim
the doctrine of united nationalities; Bismark
was the first to turn that doctrine to practical
account. Napoleon was the first to announce the
theory that henceforward in Europe the safety
of tho smaller powers was to consist in enter
ing into alliances, otlensive and defensive with
their larger and more powerful neighbors.
Here again, as in the former case, Bismark
has been tho first to exhibit the doctrine in
practical shape. In this last affair, indeed,
the master has been compelled to imitate the
pupil. Bismark forms military alliances with
the smaller adjoining States. Napoleon sees
that his interest lies in adopting a similar
policy. In the one case, however, the experi
ment has been successful; whether it will be
equally so in the other our most recent intel
ligence makes it appear doubtful. The game
which Napoleon and Bismark have been play
ing, and which may be said to have commenced
at the celebrated Biarritz meeting in the spring
of last year, has been protracted and keen.
The moves which they have respectively made
on the political chess-board have commanded
the attention of the world. That skill and
caution, and daring have been manifested on
both sides all must admit. If Napoleon has
more than once been checkmated, it is to bo
borne in mind, first of all, that while his oppo
nent has been yielding up his entire energies
to the attainment of one end, he has, unfor
tunately, been engaged throughout in more
games than one, and, secondly, that this game
has not yet been concluded. The result, in
fact, is as yet doubtful.
It is by no means improbable that before the
game is played out it may assume a much
more serious character. The difficulties un
solved by diplomacy may have to be referred
to the arbitrament of the sword. In the event
of Prussia and France coming into open colli
sion, so numerous are the contingencies on
which the result Is dependent, that he would
be a bold man who Bhould venture to predict
beforehand to which side victory would, loan.
Prussia is undoubtedly a powerful military
rintion. The nunilwr, the rapidity, tho bril
liancy of her successes in her reofMit encounter
with Austria, proved that to the greatest
at modern powers she would be a dan
gerous antagonist. But Prussia since then
has added many millions to her population,
has enlarged her territory, and has proportion
ately increased her forces. Not only so. By
the alliances which she has formed with tho
members of the Southern Confederation, she
has acquired the entire military control of the
whole of Germany, with lhe exception of
those provinces which still remain attached to
the House of Austria. Nor is this all. In tho
altered and rapidly altering condition of the
Austrian empire it requires, we believe, but the
occasion to reveal the fact that the German
population there are as enthusiastically do
voted to the interests of their common nation
ality as aro the Germans of the North and
South. Such is tho position of Prussia at
the present moment. Formidable as an antago
nist iK'foro, the presumption is that she would
be found greatly more formidable now. Power
ful, however, as Prussia undoubtedly is, it is
not to bo denied that in a war with
Franco she would labor under many and
serious disadvantages. Not to speak of popu
lation, of wealth, of unequalled military re
sources and of great military renown, France
has theunspeakableadvantageof being united,
and of moving with tho accuracy of a machine
under the guidance and control of a powerful
central will. Prussia, on tho other hand,
acting in conjunction with her German allies,
would labor under all the disadvantages which
are inseparable from a State iu process of con
solidation from supposed diversity of interests
and from a number of separate and independ
ent heads. It is a question which the result
alone could satisfactorily answer, whether the
intense patriotism of the German people
would secure unity of heart and aim in spite
of these influences. Tho game, as we have
said, is not yet played out. We shall watch
its progress with interest.
Henry Clay.
From the World.
On the 12th of April, the ninetieth anniver
sary of Henry Clay's birthday is to be marked
at Louisville by the inauguration of a statue.
Robert C. Winthrop is to deliver the address,
and ex-President Fillmore and Alexander II.
Stephens are expected to be present.
The Tribune cannot let slip the occasion of
making flings at these three gentlemen, and
affects to regard it as an incongruous thing
that they should be assigned the leading part
in honors to the memory of Mr. Clay. It
seems to think these duties should have been
discharged by men who abetted the Republi
can party in the late civil war, and approved
of its being converted into an engine of aboli
tion. It would puzzle the Tribune to make a
litter selection. There is no man in tho coun
try whose culture, eloquence, and historical
turn of mind better qualify him to make a
graceful address on this commemorative occa
sion than Mr. Winthrop. He was always a
warm admirer of Mr. Clay, and he served as
Speaker of the House of Representatives when
Mr. Clay was the leader of the Whig party,
and while Mr. Clay's favorite measures were
most strenuously debated.
Mr. Fillmore was Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committeo that prepared the tariff
of 1842, and, by his ability on that occasion,
won Mr. Clay's lasting friendship and esteem.
In 1848 Mr. Clay strongly recommended Mr.
Fillmore as the Whig candidate for the Vice
Presidency; and in 1802 he expressed a vigo
rous preference for him as the Whig candi
date for the Presidency over Mr. Webster and
General Scott. With regard to Mr. Stephens,
it was proper that some distinguished South
ern dayman should be invited to take a
leading part in dedicating a statue to a South
ern statesman in a Southern State; and we are
at a loss to know whom the Tribune would
select in proference to Mr. Stephens, the ablest
Southern Whig in the House iu the iUod-tido
of the Whig policy.
It is not, however, on personal, but on poli
tical grounds that the Tribune demurs. It
tries to make it appear that Mr. Clay's prin
ciples, had he lived, would have led him
straight into the present Republican party,
while Messrs. Winthrop, Fillmore, and Ste
phens are arrant Copperheads, or worse. But
the Tribune seems to forget that the "parting
of the wave" between the Whigs of its stripe
and Mr. Clay began previous to 1850; that Mr.
Clay was the chief architect and advocate of
the Compromise of that year, which included
the Fugitive Slave law, for whose execution
Mr. Fillmore was so bitterly denounced; and
that his preference of Mr. Fillmore for the
Presidency two years afterwards, and the con
tempt for Mr. Seward expressed in his private
correspondence, make it improbable that ho
would have co-i perated with Seward aud the
Tribune in building up the Republican party.
His principles were as opposite to theirs as
light is to darkness.
The Tribune classes Mr. Clay as an Aboli
tionist, inasmuch ashe favored emancipation in
Kentucky. The abolition of slavery in a State
by the voluntary action of its own people and
authorities, is quite a different thing from
breaking down the State Governments ami
forcing negro equality upon the people at the
point of the bayonet. Mr. Clay neither held
these high notions of Federal prerogative, nor
desired the sudden abolition of slavery. He
expressed his disapprobation, publicly in tho
Senate and privately in his correspondence, of
General Jackson's nullification proclamation.
"As to the proclamation," he said, "although
there were some good things in it, espe
cially what relates to the judiciary, there
are some entirely too ultra for me, and which
1 cannot stomach." Mr. Clay again and
again declared his steady approbation of and
adherence to the doctrines of the famous V ir
ginia resolutions, which ai;e cried down by
the Tribune as the serpent's egg out of which
secession was hatched. Here is his creed as
expressed in 181 in a private letter to a
friend: "I need not say to you that my con
stitutional doctrines are those of the epoch of
17H8. 1 am against all power not delegated,
or not necessary and proper to execute what
is delegated. I hold to the principles of Mr.
Madison as promulgated through the Virginia
Legislature. I was with Mr. Madison then; I
am with him now." As to the proper treat
ment of States in revolt, Mr. Clay differed
quite as pointedly from the Republican doc
trines of the present day. He thought Gene
ral Jackson too harsh in his mode of dealing
with South Carolina, and under his load, the
tariff was softened to conciliate her. "Sir, I
repeat that I think that South Carolina has
been rash, intemperate, aud greatly in the
wiong; but I do not want to disgrace her, nor
any other member of this Union." And in
another speech he said: "If this unhappy
contest is to continue, I sincerely hope that
the future conduct of the Administration may
be governed by wise and cautious counsels
and a paternal forbearance." For Mr. Clay's
views of slavery and the relations of the
Federal Government to it, we refer tho Tribune
to his scathing reply to Mr. Mendenhall, in
which "the political Abolitionists," as Mr.
f ;iav called them, who waged war on Southern
elavery in the name of the Declaration of In
dependence, wre scourged as with a whip of
scorpions.
We thank the Tribune for calling up these
reminiscences. Nothing could more strikingly
show how widely the Government has de
parted from the old landmarks.
