G A DAY WITH RICHARD C03DEN. ' BY nox. .IAMK8 M. SCOVKL. I irariB maj be the cltjr of tbe senses ; but I prefer London, " and can readily understand why the philosopher of the Tribune, indignant ' at being shown the inside of Clichy because he lad once the ill-fortune to be elected a director of the New York Crystal Talace, shook the 4uSt off bis feet aa be left the "godlena, sol fish, egotistical city." London gives one an impression of stability and of power. Paris is France, and in Paris all France seems to look down upon you, not "from the Pyramids," but from the shop win dows t Gallic civilization seems to have left a trace behind, for the "Mobtlitas ac leoiias" of which ('.Tflar speaks are still characteristic of the French. An anecdote related by Mr. Cobden will illustrate what I mean. A Frenchman once saw in London, not far from Morley's Hotel, a shoemaker busy at his last. Twenty years later he returned again to London, and at the same oorner of the street, in the same estab lishment, there sat the identical cnbbler still at his last. "Mon Lieu," said the French gentleman, "how tan we ever think to com pete with these English 1 They neccr change." My friend Preston and I spent two weeks at that most delightful of hotels, Morley's, front ing on Trafalgar Square, and enjoyed every thing, excepting, perhaps, the English guide, well dressed in swallow-tail coat, white gloves, and irreproachable necktie, spotless as that of James the First, of Presidential me mory. Preston insisted that he should be introduced to the "American Consul," as he called the owner of the spotless necktie, and reluctantly yielded only when be heard the ancient guide accost me, before supper, say ing. "Please, Sir 1 and would you like to see the habits of the people at seven shillings a day." We respectfully declined. At twelve the next day, breakfasted with George Washington Wilkes, the American editor, so called, of the London Star, a morn ing and evening paper, whioh was then, as now, the organ of the Cobden-Bright-Liberal party. Wilkes, for I must pause to honor, if imperfectly, the memory of one of the bright est minds, and one of the gentlest spirits liv ing, with mind and heart and soul in perfect accord with the unwritten laws of humanity Wilkes was, perhaps, the most youthful of the brave band of Liberals (among whom to-day we find Mill, and Vincent, and Hughes) who spoke for America in England in the dark days succeeding the Trent affair. He died in the summer succeeding my visit, in the midst of a brilliant speech, upon the American question, and bis last words were "the American Re public" In answer to Richard Cobden's message, that be ought to seek rest and relaxa tion, be said to me, "Tell him I had rather wear out than rust out." Of the many bright mornings that I passed with Wilkes, as he traced for me the history of English liberty, as we sat where Shake speare read the Tempest to Queen Elizabeth, or wandered in front of St. James' down the same path where Charles II trilled with the wealth of an empire of these days and starry nights nothing is left but their memories; for they were bright and beautiful exceedingly, and I can only sigh as I say: "O, vhe tender grace of a day that Is dead, Can never come back again," We sat at breakfast, looking through the low window at the surging crowd below, when the Bervant brought in the morning letters, three in number, and placed them on the table: one from over the water, another from Rochdale, and still another, in a plain com mercial hand. "I know that band," said Wilkes. "Richard Cobden's ?" "Yes." Among my letters of introduction was one from Mr. Lincoln, and one from the philoso pher of the Tribune. I had sent the latter to Midhurst, and this was the reply: "DrjNFORD, weak MiDntJR8T,8ugSEX, Dec. 12, 1863. Dear Sir: I have received your letter here. It will give me pleasure to see you, but I am lu an Inaccessible place, owing to the want of railway communication. "if you will take the trouble to come and see me, I shall be happy to receive you, and shall liave a bed at your service. "I send, on tbe other side, particulars of the railway trains. Tbe train wtifoU leaves Water loo fetation for Huzelmere, at 5 P.

You take your ticket for Iia.eltuere. Yours, very trulv, "KlCHARD COIIDKN." The other letter, which I am tempted to ; quote here, was from the friend and com panion of Mr. Cobden, on the hustings, in Parliament, or at the fireside. Their communication was constant, and I think there was scarcely a day in the week when they bad not some tidings of each other. If John Bright had more of the fire and verve of the Cromwellian period, Mr. Cobden did not fail to move and mould the world around him by his sincerity, his foroe of character, as well as by his winning and womanly delicacy of soul. Richard Cobden, too, was re markable for the keenness of his per ceptions and tenacity of purpose. Once grap pling fairly with a question, he never let go till he bad vanquished bis adversary and saved bis cause. Richard Cobden was an ex emplification of the truthful saying attributed to Coleridge, that be never knew a "truly great man that had not more or leas of the leimmne element in him " John Brighfs letter, 'written in a bold, yet delicate businees baud, read thus- ,'Tnteto uffvT.u6," felr:-" most convenient to us for you to come hem unTiimi. day of next week, the 3Ut Inslaut or on Vr lrH.2 the first day of the New Year.

The news Irom the Htates, this morn?" la satisfactory, but I am auxluus to see the of the message. J text "The winter will sorely try the Southern armies, and I suspect they will not be hirom7r in the spring than they are now. or "The proclamation if amnesty and secvtrltv of property, other than slave property, will I think, tend to bieuk down the Rebellion during "Yours, very truly, John Bright," At five o'clock, after sunset, of what, for English skies, one might safely call a bright day, the train whistled off and out of Waterloo Station, in the heart of London. We sped to where the fields stood "dressed in living green." It was late when we reached llazel inere "and all I remember of that station is a pleasant impression of the seashells, artisti ' cally arranged along the hillside, so that they epelled the word "llaaelmere." . Tbe regular stage ooach took me to Mia Lurst an old-fashioned English town, with no thinc'remarkable except the landlord of "mine inn " Here I found Mr. Cobden's servant await Ing'me with the "liy" mentioned ia the great Commoner's note. Jt was a brief ride and a delightful one, through the valleys and over the hills of Bnssex towards the borne of this madest great ium. whose whole life, and whosa latest, as THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH- PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 18G7. well as his earliest utterances, had shown bira to be the true friend of the human race, "whopasole aim was so to modify existing in stitutions, by proper and equitable methods, that all who live under the same government may bo equal partakers in K lwtieflts, and to bring all the blessings of life within the reach of the largest number." At !) o'clock the driver reined up in front of a two-story house, not remarkable for splendor, but suggestive of wealth and comfort. The great Commoner came out to meet the "fly" and welcomed me most cordially to Durford, for though bis country home was usually designated Midhurst, Durfbrd was the name of the place since the day of his birth, and it was only after the Anti-Corn Law League gre in power and popularity; after the Com Laws were repealed; and after na tional gratitude had assumed the shape of a gift of 350,000, that Mr. Cobden was able to buy the old homestead which had been sold from his father. Here he wa born; here he died; and here bis widow and daughters yet mourn the loss of the manliest spirit that ever tenanted human form. After accompanying me in person to the guest-chamlwr, we came down together to supper, and enjoyed a substantial meal, not forgetting a glass of rare old Madeira. Of the household 1 saw only .Mrs. Cobden. a noble woman, with what Tennyson might designate "quiet eyea still faithful to the truth;" for she had been her husband's companion in the bitterest strife attending the Anti-Corn Law agitation, before Sir Robert Peel became con vinced, against the remonstrances of the landed and agricultural interests, of the jus tice of the people's cause and of the wisdom of the Commoner's course. Richard Cobden may le said to have begun his public life in 1841, in the first year of Sir Robert Peel's second administration. In 1M7 Mr. Cobden had visited France, Bel gium, and Switzerland. In 1838 he went through Germany, and came home a Free Trader. In 1S:3D Mr. Cobden first established the powerful Anti-Corn-Law League, after Mr. Vil liers' motion to repeal the bread tax was de feated in the House of Commons. It was evident that the struggles through which he bad gone had made Mr. Cobden, in appearance only, an old man before three score and ten. He was born in 1804, in Sussex county, near Midhurst. His hair was silvered with grey, but there was that sympathy in him the Italians name it mjmpatico added to the glow of a conscious and cultured intellect, which made him seem much younger than he really was. He was seated by a pleasant wood fire, and began at once to talk of American affairs; for the two subjects which seemed nearest his heart were: First. The ultimate triumph of the Union against the combined powers of the Rebellion, the Devil, and Jeffer son Davis; and tbe success of the Union arms he never permitted himself to doubt, in side or outside of Parliament. Second. His hope, cherished till he died, that Lord Palmerston could be permanently driven from power, for he confessed to extreme contempt for the jaunty ways and cynical optimism of the Premier. In our conversation, Mr. Cobden expressed his opinion that Mr. Seward was a "light weight;" thought he had a fatal fluency with his pen; wrote too much and thought too little. He was Englishman enough to regret that Mr. Seward had taken ground that England had no right whatever to send arms to the Rebels, Mr. Cobden contending that the contrary of this was the law of nations, and thought the right of individuals to furnish arms to aid rebellion even could be traced to the days of Thomas Jefferson. He told me an amusing anecdote of Mason, of Virginia, who was a United States Senator when Mr. Cobden first visited America. The English Commoner was the centre of attrac tion, partly because he was well known to en tertain Free-Trade notions, chiefly, perhaps, because he, Mr. Cobden, was then a notable man. Much to his surprise, Mr. Mason asked Mr. Cobden to take a glass of whisky from some point in the immediate neighborhood of his place in the Senate (N. B. this liquor is now called, by the Hon. Garrett Davis, the vernacu lar drink of Kentucky.) After extending, as above mentioned, the courtesies of the Senate, Mr. Mason observed Senator Seward walking across the Senate Chamber, when, with true Virginia hauteur, he drew himself up, and said, looking towards Seward, " Mr. Cobden, profligate demagogue, that ! !" Mr. Cobden never told that story without a merry twinkle in his eye. I had just finished the life of Cavour, who was personally known to Mr. C. lie com pared him to Stephen A. Douglas ; and thought Cavour was bis equal in audacity and power, but a statesman not great in moral purpose. He talked much of Mr. Seward, and ranked him with Lord Palmerston, whom he cordially hated ; but gave Mr. Seward the credit of being one of the most adroit and suc cessful politicians in the world, but denied him the rank of a first-class statesman. Mr. Cobden said that he was not sure Wen dell Phillips was not the foremost thinker in America, and he was very clear that Phillips was the best man in America to send to Eng land to give the English an idea of the length and breadth of our struggle for self-government. He said, the clear ringing sentences of the Boston orator were pleasing to the Eng lish ear; and that his terse, epigrammatic style would make friends for America wherever he went. On the evening of my arrival he had just written his last letter to Delane, of the Loudon Times. The "Thunderer" had always, prior to this time, hid behind its "impersonality ar gument," that no one man was responsible for anything said in tbe columns of the London Times. Walter, who, Mr. Cobden said, wanted to be a Peer, and hence his toadyism to the aristocracy, and Delane, the chief writer for the Times, had made bitter and continued per sonal attacks on Mr. Cobden, ever since he negotiated, at tbe request of his own Govern ment, the celebiated French treaty at Paris. But of this newspaper war between the Times and Cobden came this good result, which was a substantial victory for the latter, that the editor of the "Thunderer" henceforth avowed bis responsibility, and gave his name, no longer hiding behind the shield of "iniper Bonaliry." In ilia .,., .D. t nrl.l'r.1. T.nrl Pol tterston's name was connected, and about which ase London society was then on tbe qui mv'i .lmi3 thought tbe witnesses would and oU8ly ditiaPPear wlien most needed, , at the appliances of corruption, so si1,i.OuV0,w.n t0 tue Jaanty Premier, would be nBbful in whitewashing him for the public wrong. tLe Prol'kecy was not far tb'MSaya9 fo?KBlrPon the fact the Literary Vt l ni from America, vilifying 0ur 7 travllln& through ing secession Liters 0ve aild "nt- wax with groat prudeaoe m dignity aa con. sidered the election of 18(14 aa deciding tho fate of the 'Republic. Ho did not know whether any Republic was strong enough, peacefully, to elect a President at the ballot box during a civil war. He seemed to have a lurking tenderness for McClellan, but said it was on account of his reticence under attacks from the newspaper press generally. He paused a moment at my expression, that the "abuse of greatness is when remorse disjoins from power' He thought the line expressed a great truth, and said "Jeff. Davis will never die of remorse." Osborne, of the Illinois Central Railroad, had written to him, naming a great number of the prominent leaders of the Rebellion who had died so soon after the war commenced. Alexander H. Stephens, he thought, would outlive most of tbe others, because his heart was not at first with the Rebellion if, indeed, he said, it ever was. He gave me to understand that a large investment had been made by him in the State of Illinois, and he once cherished the idea of coming to Ame rica to live. He soon abandoned this idea, believing tho true work of his life was iu England. He seemed more solicitous about the condition of the English peasantry, and more ready to converse on this subject, than npon any other. His fine eyes filled with tears as be explained to me the fearful ignorance and destitution among so many thousands who could never hope to turn a furrow of land which they might call their own. It was here the character of the man Bhone clear as day. He said there was no class in England like the tenants in America, who, if they did not at first own their land, with thrift and reasonable economy could soon become owners in fee of as many broad acres as they could cultivate. He talked on this subject till long after mid night, deploring tbe fact that the English peasantry were divorced from the soil on which they lived. He named his neighbor Lord Lincolnlleld's park, with twelve miles of stone fence protecting it; its owner too rich to spend the half of his income, and rich enough to buy all the land within a day's ride of him. The question of elevating this disfranchised class, he said, was the one nearest his heart. And 1 did not wonder, as he explained to me that the English landlords were assessed now for their landed estate just as they were as sessed in the days of William the Conqueror. As he explained the long system of outrages practised by the oppressor at the expense of the oppressed, I did not wonder that he looked with eager gaze and longing eyes for "good news from the States." I no longer felt any wonder that the name of Richard Cobden had become almost a household word beside thou sands of American firesides. I knew, too, how he bad grown to feel a love for the peasant class, for whom he had labored so long, and who, for sixty years, had not advanced one step towards light or knowledge, or the posses sion of a just share of political power a love, in the words of a deep-thinking and much abused poet, as "Tender as tears, as fair as faith, as pure As hearts made sad and sure At once by many sorrows and one love." The clock struck one, when I suggested that, however delightful such a conversation was to me, he must be worn and tired, with so long a sitting. He, laughingly, said no, and reminded me that when Parliament was in session it was always among the "wee sma' hours" when they were permitted to go to bed. He urged me to spend the remainder of the week at Durford, but I declined, because I had soon to sail westward. As he accompanied me to my room, I recall even the tone of voice in which he said, "I suppose, then, we must 'welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.' " , Speaking of Louis Napoleon, he said, when he was leit to himself, be could on occasions write "monumental French." While not im pressed with his conversational powers, he thought he knew how to govern. The last and only political prediction I heard him make was, that unless the aristocracy of England consented to some modification of the laws regulating the tenure of lands and while he might not live to see it, I would I would see a revolution which would forever settle all disputes between English landlords and tenants in such a way that popular agitation would not again be invoked, for the power of the present governing class in England would be overthrown. Only a few months after this conversation, the conduct of the English Gov ernment (for it is charged and believed that the Ministry were responsible for it), towards Garibaldi, gave color to the supposition that the aristocracy feared the people then as they do now. The Italian patriot was welcomed with spon taneous enthusiasm. All Englank took holi day, when, suddenly, the popular furore at its height, Garibaldi was quietly invited to leave England. The published reason given was that his health would not permit further ova tions. In the morning, before I left Dunford, we had a conversation which I may yet give the world, but not here. He was. answering his letters as early as seven o'clock in the morning. As his five daughters, one by one, came to the breakfast room, each one saluted him with a kiss. An artist should paint that picture of do mestic happiness and contentment. Here was a man rich in the recollections of a well-spent life. A generous nation, chafing under the odious yoke of privilege, could not bind about his neck, as they would gladly have done, the highest crowns of civio honor. Once offered a place in the Cabinet, he peremptorily declined it, be cause coalition with such a Ministry might have been regarded a defection from the people's cause. But a confiding and grateful people had heaped wealth upon him, and hoped for him many years of usefulness and honor. Blithe is dead. Shrined in the affection of the world, he yet lives in the hearts of that generation chiefly benefited by his great and self-sacrificing public service; and posterity will lovingly take up the name of Richard Coben, and build to his memory a monument more imperishable than marble, fo r his sim plicity, his integrity, his nobility of soul, have made him immortal. . , Some future historian writing for a world walking, at last, the triumphant road of jus tice, will write above his grave , "He consecrated his best energies to a people for whom he lived and whom he loved. He died, as he had lived, an honest soldier and a great commander in that grand army ever fighting under freedom's flag for the libe ration of humanity." from the New Jersey Magazine. Woman is a delusion; but men will bug delusions. The best capital to begin life with is a capital wife. Tbe pleasure of doing good is the only one that never wears out.
