,ttr. Dickens and Hi- Visitlo the United
Mates.
Th arrival of Mr.' Dickens u pnn the steamer
Cuba is announced Arrangmnt8 for hU
''readings" hare already been completed
In all of our principal citipn, and thfjr will
donbtleM form a distinguishing feature in the
Intellectual recreations of the winter. Thou
sands among the multitudes whom Charles
DUkens has charmed by the marvellous power
Of his works, will feel it to be a memorable era
In their Uvea when first they nee and hear the
great magiolan whose wondrous ppell called
into being Captain Cuttle and Little Nell, Paul
Dombey and Mr. Pickwick, and whose geoias
lias wrought scenes of enchantment in colors
that will live and glow while books are read
or human heaits can sorrow or rejoloe I All
rho have read his inimitable works will want
to seo him, to know what manner of man this
is who for bo many years has held the hearts
Of young and old at his command.
Mr. Dickens was born at Portsmouth, Eng
land, In 1812, and was educated, by his father's
yish, for the life of an attorney a fact which
trill explain his familiarity with the forms and
technicalities of the law, a familiarity which
lie has tamed to such good account in some of
iis works as to secure the extensive modifica
tion of many of the most serious legal abuses
In England. But the profession did not suit
Diokens, whose mind, already forecasting its
destiny, was turned towards literature; and
lie became first a newspaper critic and re
porter, and afterwards a writer of sketches
and tales, in which his peculiar powers of
Jnind soon began to reveal theuiBelves. In
183G these "Sketches of London Life" were
collected and published. The 'Tick wick
Tapers" followed in 1837; and the thirty years
that have since elapsed have bean years of
liard labor, of keen and careful observation,
and of almost unexampled success.
In 1842 Mr. Dickens made a visit of about
Elx months to this country, publishing on his
Xetarn his "American Notes" a work which

many of our critics, and which even yet
causes a foolish prejudice against its author in
the minds of thousands who have never real
the book.
It seems scarcely necessary to oall atten.
tion to the distinctive characteristics of Mr.
Dickens' writings. No books are more wi lely
known; none have gained a firmer place iu the
i&ffeotions of the masses. Inimitable in humor
and pathos, they have stirred to laughter
and to tears many who are not easily moved
ly fiotitious scenes, and have prepared the
(hearts of some for a readier evmrnthv with their
neighbors' woes. 1 Their power is tstriotlv origi
nal. The style is unique, that of no other
author being traceable in them iu any degree;
fand it has been noticed that they are almost
: i - r . . . i n . i .
jr iuiwj nee iruiu quotations me luougui
and the graphic form ia which it is pre
sented are alike the fruit of the aathor's
'geuitu. Of this peculiar character are his
'Pictures of Italy." We were aooustomed
o the artist's sketches of Italy, to the histo-
an's comments, to the poet's verses; but
-Diokens alone visited that land of romance
pimply as a humorist; and as a result, he has
given us a view of every scene, however solemn
:or sentimental, illumined by flashes of his
wn peculiar and irresistible humor.
In every department Dickens seems at
tome. Thackeray portrayed with astonish
ing power the follies of fashionable life, but
Diokens has found in the tavern and in tho
prison cell, as well as in the drawing-room
and the office of trust, materials for his facile
pen. Hawthorne - painted the quiet soenea of
our own domestio life as a background on
vrhioh to trace some one startling figure
Veird, beautiful, unlike any other; but among
the bosta of DickenB' characters, who can Say
which are the unimportant ones ? And sud
denly turning aside from his wonted themes,
be has given us, in "The Tale of Two Cities,"
Buoh scenes from the gloomy terrors of the
French Revolution as would lead us to say
that historio painting was his furte, did we
not remember the myriad other forms in
Which his power is displayed.
Some persons have objected to the works of
tfr. Diokens that they portray too fully the
vices of society, especially of the lower classes;
tXat too many of his characters are such as we
would shun in real life such as we ought
Boaroely to mention to "ears polite." But
there ia a virtuous silence in regard to acknow
ledged evils which o(Un amounts almost to a
toleration of vioe. If in Mr. Dickens' heroes
or heroines vice was dressed in attractive
color and rewarded with final success, a very
jierlona oharge might, indeed, be brought
ftgainat him; but in the very reverse of this he
lias one of his prominent characteristics and
an enviable distinction among the writers of
fiotlon. "We must all admire him," as the
Lord Chief Justice well remarked at the late
Diokens dinner in London; "for the unvarying
Loneatr of purpose which has never induced
liim to pander to vicious tastes, which has
made him teach us unconsciously, perhaps
to admire only that which is beautiful and
true, and helped u to hold up to execration
and scorn all that is lof.tbso.ue, vile, and base.
In these works he has known how to invest
With interest, and has ever promoted, those
feelings which bind man to man, and tend to
(develop that catholic, large, and generous
THE PAHA EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY.
humanity which is the noblest attribute ol
human kind."
Mr. Dickens has been a true reformer. Alike
on abuses in the Government, in the courts,
in social life, in K hools, and in benevolent
institutions, have fallen his unsparing blows.
Overseers and trustees, parish officers and
pedagogues, prison-keepers and judges of
courts, have had reason to quail before his
pen; while many of the victims of their
abuses have had equal reason to thank the
thamplon whose soul hated oppression and
whofe genius held it up to the execration of a
wot Id. We never think, without a new thrill
of amusement and satisfaction, of the story
that, after the rublioation of " Nicholas
Nickleby," a whole room-full of irate school
masters from different parts of England waited
npon Mr. Dickens, each in a frenzy of rage at
the thought that hU portrait had been given
to the public in the person of the celebrated
Squeers, of Dotheboys Hall. Probably it was
a leBS pleasing incident to the hundreds of
boys throughout the kingdom who were suf
feiing the privations and persecutions over
whose story alone we have so often waxed
indignant.
Since Mr. Dickens visited us the first time
"a vast and entirely new generation," to use
his own words, "has arisen in the United
States." During that period many of hla best
works have been written, and millions of
readers have made his acquaintance. With
reference to his meeting these, Lord Lytton
eloquently said, In his farewell speech to
Dickens:
I cannot but think that wherever oar Ame
iH'tin kinsfolk welcome ttiat pro'-euoe or liann
pell-b uud on thai voice, mey will irresistibly
leei how much there U of fellowship and unlsou

Mr. Dickens has not come among m un
heralded. The creations of his own genius
have prepared the way before him. For the
sake of these of little Florence and Aunt
Betsy Trotwood, of Oliver and Mrs. Perry
bingle we will bid him welcome, hoping that
with new eyes he may look upon our renewed
country, bo lately baptized in blood, and con
secrated forever, as we trust, to those great
principles of civil and religious liberty which
are the glory and hope of both England aud
America.
Which Will They Favor T
At a meeting of all the property holders on
Broad street, held last evening, it was unani
mously resolved that they were" in favor of the
widening of the pavements below Master
street, and called npon Councils to reconsider
their action, and give their permission to carry
out the design. They asked why the Mayor
should refuse the petitions of all those most
interested? The reason is kuown only to his
Honor, for it seems to those ignorant of any
personal cause, inexplicable. All of the pro
perty holders favor it; all the great body of
the people favor it; the owners of carriages do
not object, as they have abundance of room
under the new arrangement. Who, then, are
its opponents r The contractors for the Niool
8 on pavement and the Mayor of Philadelphia.
Which party will give way f The people, who
send their servants to Councils, demand that
their will should be obeyed. Unless Councils
act to-morrow as the voice of their constituents
dtmands, it will be too late. Those who op
pose a reconsideration place themselves, how
ever Inadvertently, in the attitude of oppo
nents of the masses, and in favor of the con
tract and the few flashy drivers, who dasu
along in double teams, regardless of anything
but vulgar display. On whioh side will our
representatives appear r
Representative Jleform.
Laet evening Hon. Charles R. Buckalew de
livered in our city an address on "Representa
tive Reform." We are glad to be able to do
the Senator justice by Having that he most
carefully avoided giving the least political
complexion to his able and clear essay. lie
discussed briefly the subject of "cumulative
voting," and favored it most strongly. While
that portion of his address which pointed out
the evils of the present system was most con
vincing, and will meet the heartiest approval
of all thinking men, without any regard to
party, yet the remedy has not yet been suffi
ciently discussed for us to yield to it our
hearty support. We hail with great satisfac
tion this commencement of a free discussion of
this great question. It is destined, in the
course of a few years, to monopolize the atten
tion of all our statesmen, and it is a pleasure
to hear a United States Senator diaoussiug in
a masterly manner a question of political
ethic?, and not, as is too often the case, see
them descend into the arena of party discus
sion, and exhibit a violence unworthy of their
high office. The address of Senator Buckalew
is a credit to himself, and must do good.
Mosfby. The guerilla Moseby was intro.
dnced into the New York Gold Room, and
according to some accounts well received, and
to others was treated with marked condemna
tion. It is certain, however, that a number of
the Board weloomed him. It is surprising to
us to see such au action. If a welcome should
1 extended to Lee, or any of the Rebel Gene
rals, we would not be surprised, considering
the complexion of New York; but Moseby was
a guerilla, murderer, and thief. He followed
no flag. IU fought as a freebooter, and, accord
ing to all the Uws of civilized warfare, deserved
the pallows from whichever party ho was oap
tured by. let thW man fa welcomed in a
Northern city I We nd make no further
oounnent on the political party which would
gra p the hand of such.
Hon. Jnmee W. Wall on the Election of
fllr Vnllandigham we Senator from
Ohio.
Wa have received a letter from the Hon. James
W. Wall, of New Jersey, in reply to an edi
torial which we published a few days since in
Tim Kvknino TfeLEoRArn, whioh will be found
on our eighth page.
In , replying to the ex-United States
Senator, we desire to avoid discussion as
much as popsible, and will, therefore, grant
that Mr. Vallaudigham is personally moral,
that he has eloquence and education, and will
take Mr. Wall's word for it that he is a
"highly oturteoua gentleman," although we
have never had the honor of Judging by expe
rience. We will aho pass by without com
ment the slur on the "inuuaoulate Lincoln,"
and come down to that portion of the latter
which treats of the legal right of the Senate
to reject an applicant for admission. We must,
however, first take exceptiou to the statement
that Mr. Vallandigbam is "the idol of a ma
jority of the people of Ohio." It is so long
ago since idols were worshipped that we do
not exactly understand the form of devotion,
but it strikes us that to muffle an idol up ia
gRgs, to hide it, and keep its oracular voice
from being heard, and to put it away ia an
inner chamber, is hardly the approved method
of worship. Yet Mr. Vallandigham, and oer
tain olhir gentlemen in our own State, and on
the other side of (he Delaware, wore treated iu
this manner; and how much of the suooess of
the Democracy is due to their being hidden
from sight, the change of the vote from the
time they were allowed to speak and when
they were kept qniet will show. If our
memory does not deceive us, when Mr. Vallan
digbam stumped the State and ran for Gov
ernor, he was beaten by somewhere in the
neighborhood of 100,000 majority. It proves
the ol 1 motto, that "speech may be silver,
but silence is gold."
The authority on the subject of the right
of the United States Senate to judge of the
"election returns and qualifit -ation of its mem
berb" is found in the Constitution. No limit
is assigned to the "qualifioatioiw" of which
the Senate can judge; and as they are not
defined, Mr. Wall tke3 occasion to say that
they consist in an inquiry as to whether
the applicant is a resident of the
State which elected him, is over thirty
years of age, and has resided in
that State nine years. Thie, according to
Mr. Wall, is all that the highest body of the
United States can do. It is not a power capa
ble of excluding unworthy members; it is
nothing more than a clerk to investigate family
Bibles and tax receipts. Such an opinion
places the d'guity of the Senate, its purity,
and its rcapictaliility entirely at the mercy of
a majority of a State Legislature. Such a
doctrine is preposterous. But after having
laid it down, Mr. Wall proceeds to contradiot
himself. Ho extends the limits of the inquiry,
lie goes 0 far as to acknowledge that in case
of crime the Senate can reject au
applicant. Having once broken down
the barriers, and acknowledged that other
questions than age, residence, and citizenship
can be inquied into, by what right does Mr.
Wall limit the examination to crimes of which
the applicant has been convicted ? The very
language he quotes from Chancellor Saudford
does not require legal conviction as a ground
for exclusion. "There may be an exclusion
as punishment for crime," and not that some
petty State Court must have convicted the
applicant. The Senate itself is the judge as
to whether its members have been guilty of a
crime. Each Senator not only is authorized
to act as his conscience and his oath dictate,
without regard to legal technicalities, but it
is his duty so to act; and to admit any one
whom he believes to be a eiiminal, even if no
legal conviction has taken place, is to be false
to his high office.
Not only has the Senate, without regard to
parti, maintained this view, but it has fre
quently acted on it. Ia the case of Jesse D.
Bright, who was guilty of writing a letter to
Jefferson Davis, introducing a man who had a
patented firearm, even those who opposed
his expulsion based their opposition not on
the right of the Senate to expel for crime be
fore a legal conviction, but because they did
not deem such a letter a crime. They never
denied that the Senate was the judge of
whether or not Blight was entitled to mem
bership. The reverse of such a position would place
the Senate in a subordinate attitude to a State
Court. That lofty body would have to post
pone all action on the expnldion of an unwor
thy member until his case was settled in some
County Court of Oyer and Terminer a position
of affairs utterly opposed to the spirit of the
Constitution and subversive of the dignity of
the Senate. According to Mr. Wall,
the Senate had no right to expel
Davis, Toombs, and the ten Rebel
Senators, after th.y were in arms, until
the courts had convicted them of treason; and
these men might have left the Rebel army and
entered the Senate as members, without that
body having power to redeem its character or
protect itself. And as none of these men
have been convicted, they might demand
ad mission to-morrow Jefferson Davis, aud the
whole of them if elected, and the Senate
would have no power to deny them seats.
The absurdity of such a doctrine is self-evi
dent. We therefore come down to this:
Mr. Wall grants that if a man be guilty of a
crime, he may be excluded; he also grants
that treason is a crime. The only question
on which we differ is as to who, is to be the
judge of whether a Senator is guilty. We
think such power is lodgud in the
Senate itself, and that any other doctrine
would bo utterly subversive of all freedom aud
diBhity in that body. Mr. Wall pretends to
ltelibve that, however notorious a criminal ii,
the Senate cannot refuso Lita admission
uulesa'Le has beoa convicted la a orimiuai
court, provided he is thirty years old and has
the qualifications of oltlzenship and residence.
This is where we differ; and we leave it to
precedent, the Constitution, and common
sense whioh has reason and law on his side.
Here we might pause; but we will add one
word in regard to Mr. Vallandigham's attitude
and our own views. We did not write the
paragraph favoring his exclusion from the
Senate, if elected, . in any passion or without
forethought. We expressed our deliberate
conviction that Mr. Vallandigham was a
traitor, and in that conviction we think a large
proportion of our readers will coincide. We
say so frankly, and would say so even if his
"calm, honest eyes were looking into ours."
Having spoken deliberately, we iiave only to
reiterate our earneat hope that the Senate will
exclude him from its membership should the
State of Ohio disgr are itself by eleoting him.
And despite the assertion of Mr. Wall, we
stand steadfast to our belief that Mr. Vallan
digham will never be a Seiiatur of the Uni ed
Stutit.
