Jhe Republican ItwmlPRtioH Tor Dis
trict Alturnejr.
Inn Republican Convention for the nomina
tion of District Attorney Lava a diffioalt and
delioate duty imposed on them by the with
drawal of Mr. Hazlehnrst and Mr. Mann, a
dnty whioh wa greatly fear they do not ap
preciate, and which they will not prove eqaal
to. The position of looal politics la pecaliar.
This Convention came near, very near, saorl
Joirjg the entire Republican party in our city,
if not in our State, for the gratification of a
merely personal preference. Thla self-da-Btr
notion was resisted by the minority, and
the two branches separated. Force of circum
stances has compelled a re-union of
these opposing elements, and if 'they
sre to select a candidate on whom all
can unite, they have to give their choioe to
an existing popular man. There is nothing to
be gained by denying that Mr. S hep pari is a
jrentUman of large popularity and eminent
litness for the post of District Attorney. Bat
his qualifications are not so tranaoendaut that
ve cannot select a dozen Republican lawyers
every one of whom is equally unobjectionable.
He is an honest man. We have honest men
on our side. lie is a good lawyer. We could
bi'ggest a doz-n other equally good and half-a-dozen
far superior. lie is a new man; but thii
is no exclusive requisite. Bat these qualities
vhich, when matched by a worthy choice,
give him no advantage, are certain securi
ties of victory if we do not have
as our candidate one who possesses them as
'well as Mr. Sheppard. lie id the strongest
man by far of all tke Democratic nominees,
and if we want to beat him we must make
our choioe the strongest of our ticket. What,
then, are the requisites f In a cardinal paint
of view, we deem that the nomiuee should be
a pure man. We must have no one around
whom lingers the corrupting and effete odors
of the Quarter Besbious under the old regimt.
Every man who has beeu iu the ring undr
the Mann administration, be he ever so dis
tantly connected with it, must not dare to
seek the nomination. The suspicions of the
people are strongly aroused. They look with
mistrust, and most properly, on all the
clique, and under the new administration
these men must have no voice.
lie must also be an able man. Dull mudi
Oority will not succeed. The court over whioh
he will have to preside, to a great extent, is
One which requires consummate ability. It re
quires on many special occasions a singularly
powerful and fervid speaker, and one whom
the people feel sure cau be eqaal to any de
mands which may be made upon him. Ia this
connection we may add that we want a nominee
who has the power of systematizing the affairs
Of the court, which have become so disarranged
by the oontinued retention of one man as to
make them need a thorough revision.
The third qualification demanled is that he
be a new man. We oannot disguise from our
selves the fact that the people are tired of sur
feiting certain men with ofilje. When for
twenty years a gentleman has held a position
of publio trust and emolument, the miss of
men think he has had his share. When there
are others who have had nothing, they desire
that such men should have a ohauoe. We say
if other things are equal, a new man should
receive the nomination. There are con
tingencies, however, which would au
thorize the retention of a tried o.H-
cer, who
has proved
faithful
to all his trusts. If it should be impossible to
Beoure harmony on any other candidate, or if
be should possess pecaliar merit, then we can
unite most cheerfully in this eel-otion. Unless,
however, such a force of circumstances arises,
toe favor a new man who has never held office.
We do not deem that such an occasion has
arisen which oalls for any such renomination
of an office holder, and most earnestly urge
the Convention to act wisely in its choioe.
Let the candidate, whoever he is, unite the
qualification of honesty, ability, and freedom
fyom office. holding in tbe party, and we can
assure him viotory. To the nominee all of
our support will be most heartily aooorded.
The Age of Indifference.
Thb present age has been variously called the
Age of Marvels, the Age of different kinds of
enlightenment, material progress, eto. We
have often thought, looking to our own
country especially, that it might, since the
last three years, be called the Age of Indiffer
ence. We hear, and daily read of events
transpiring around us, whioh, onoe upon a
time, would have caused us to pause, think
over, and talk over with our neighbor suoh
as instances of plighted faith, violations of
honor and integrity, especially of frequent
malversations, evil practices of all sorts the
committal of any one of whioh offenses a few
years ago would have aroused a feeling of in
dignation. In the smallest of country villages
all suoh matters are now heard of
With the calmest indifference, or for
gotten with the calmest freedom.
Almost everybody remembers when
It beoame known that Mr. A., who for many
years held the responsible position of clerk in
tuch and such a bank was suddenly discovered
to be a defaulter to the amount of a few thoa
Band dollars, bow shocked the community was;
how men met each other in the publio streets
and spoke of the event as of a publio calamity;
Jojirthe offender was talked of as a ruined
man Irretrievably rained in oharaoter anl
position, never more to rise ia the worll; with
a wife and children doomed as it should seem
te ruthless poverty. We manage these mat
ters differently now-a-days, not that we would
appioveof a proper sympathy being withheld
from the erring, but to our own erring in the
opposite extreme. ' It Is soaroely too much to
say that if in looking into our daily Joarual
we should read that Mr. B. was yesterday
arrested by the Government officials for de
frauding the Government of a million of dol
lars, it would by no means occasion not to
say as muoh talk as the comparatively trifling
bntraotion of the few thousands we have just
been speaking about; but bo frequent is the
oeourrenoe that we would not think it worth
while to talk of the matter at all, so accus
tomed are we become to peculations of all
kinds, gigantio robberies, City, State, and
Governmental, which are almost dally being
made known, the aggregate amount of which,
could any one be found to sum up the entire
mass, or rather oould any approximation by
any possible means be made, gigantio as
these frauds would appear, and heavily as the
taxes are continued on everything we eat,
drink, or wear, yet it only affjrds another
proof ef the worth of our argument, when we
say that beyond a slight shrugging of the
shoulders, people would for the most part
remain as indifferent to the ulterior oonse.
quences which inevitably must ensue as if
nothing wrong had been going on at all.
The revelations made by Mr. Parton of th
misdoings of the New York Board of Alder
men, although they would compare in auda
city and magnitude with some ef the greatest
feats ever attempted by the fictitious rascals
of fiction, are but as a drop in a buoket, when
compared with the great maelstrom of rob
beries which before and sinoe Mr. Parton
made his statement have been proved too
clearly to have been committed, even to reour
to his statement as a further proof, if any
were seeded, of the general indifference. Here
was given names, dates, amounts received, ac
counts of jobs parcelled out by this board of
conservators of the publio morals with as
much nonchalance as if the parties were en
gaged in meritorious employment. So deep
rooted has the evil become, so indifferent has
the public become, that we doubt whether
anything short of a general collapse, partly
indnoed by this deep-seated cancer, shall
awaken the community to do something more
that listlesi-ly connive, if we must so
speak, by their manifest indifference, at these
outrages.
One of the most striking instances of this
almost criminal apathy is in the selection o'
jurymen. Indeed, when we reflect on the
subterfuges resorted to by many to escape
jury duty, our wonder is that bo many good
juries are so often constituted. A business
man is summoned to serve on one; he is vexed
that he should be asked to leave his business,
te bother himself, as he calls it, about other
people's affairs. It never seems to ooour to
him that if he should have an important case
coming on before one of the courts, how dis
appointed he might feel if it should be left to
the judgment of men in whose opinions and
probity he might have little ootiflience.
If we turn to the political situation, we see
faint glimmerings of the signs of a little fright
on the part of the old whisky and water
caucueses. The exhortations of the Union
League, have not been without their eff-fot
As we remarked lately while on the aubjeot of
parties, we think neither party need disdain
to take a useful hint from the other. Oar
Democratic friends will want all the good men
on their ticket they oau muster, to counteract
the good example adopted by their Republi
can opponents. If in this we see a slight
hauge for the better, it ia some consolation at
least that there is a little attempt being made
to chake off the slough of utter Indifference.
The Growth of Fine Arts in the United
States.
Whek a nation ia young and poor, it naturally
devotes itself to material prosperity. It has
no time for the refinements of life; it seeks
only to eecure the comforts, if possible, but
principally the necessities. It is the same with
an individual. When a pioneer first breaks
the sod, he does not think of terraoing or beau
tifying it. lie does not louk for pleasure
grounds or fountains. He seeks only to culti
vate sufficient soil to give hia family a supply
of food, and never gives a moment's attention
to any attempt at eleganoe. But when pros
perity has increased Lis worldly stores, and
he finds himself the possessor of an assured
income, and he has beoome a man of
means, the things slighted at first now claim
his care, and he begins to ornament
where before he sought only to utilize.
The, same is true of any nation. In
the early period of its existence it
strives to enrich Itself. It devotes all ita time,
talents, and energies to the seouring of wealth.
The mechanical genius is fully strained. The
moscles are used to the eaorifloe of the brain,
and no thought is given to literature or the
fine arts. But wealth brings leisure and sta
bility. The acquisition of money or the im
provement of resources now divides attention
with elegant accomplishments, and letters
and the arts flourish. It has been questioned
whether the arrival of the era of leisure does
sot indioate a deBoent in the scale of national
greatness, and whether any true lover of his
country can with justioe find any satisfaction
in such a "decline;" for so many call it. The
instanoe of Rome ia cited so continually as to
become extremely hackneyed. She was
great and secure so long as her sons de
voted themselves to her material prosperity;
bnt with the arrival of fine arts and the gene
ral cultivation of letters her deoline dearly
began. We are too apt, however, to confuse
the result of other infiueuoes with the events
which aooompany them. We oannot esteem
the arts as the cause of the death of the Ro
man empire. A spirit of luxuriant ease
carried to an exoeBi, and the general deterio
ration of aational pride and individual honor,
were the real seoret. It is unjust to lay suoh
a failure at the door of the arts, when, in
truth, they were bnt the offspring of the
elegance which ran to suoh exoesa as to oaase
national destruction.
It is therefore without the feeling of sua 1
cion which many of the oroakera of our 1 nd
entertain that we view the great Inorease of
the publio interest in the fine arts. What
was but a few years ago oonfined entirely to a
few of the richest of our oitlzens is now shared
to a great extent by the masses of the people.
It is sot a deoade alnoe, when the exhibitions
of our Aoademy of Fine Arta were but fcllmly
attended, and then by those only who felt a
personal interest in the works of some artist.
Now they present a different pioturo: we
see the poor man there as well
as the rich, and the instances are not rare
where the families of the laborer go to enjoy
the pleasures whioh must result from the in
spection of works of real exoellenoe. We de.
hire, however, that thla Spirit should receive
ytt more liberal enoonragement. The effect
of a popular love of art would be refining and
ennobling. It would afford sincere pleasure
to the people, of tbe most rational, instructive,
and innocent oharaoter, and we would, there
fore, rejoioe to see it more widely spread.
If there are now a number of families of the
laboring classes who are willing to spend their
money to enhance the collection, we cau
imagine the immense Inorease of interest
which would result if the Aoademy was to be
thrown open to all the world and thoroughly
popularized. If it should not only be free to
all, but more emphatioaily of the people. If thu
Directors intend to ereot a new building, and
thoroughly remunerate the whole corporation
we hope they will seek to make their institu
tion emphatically for the masses. With the
experience of foreign countries to guide us,
we think it only right for the rioh to do all
they can to be friends with and of the poor.
The interests of the community re
quire thac there should be sympathy
between the two classes. The same
spirit which dictates the propriety
of expending publio moneys in parks, drives,
statuary, and every class of publio pleasure
giving enterprises, including within its soope
a liberality iu the cultivation of a taste for fine
arts, and knowing that the most liberal of our
citizens are fully alive to all the requests of
the case, we look forward confidently to the
day, not far distant? when the popular taste
and appreciation of the beautiful will be edu
cated by the free exhibition of an annual col
lection of paintings and sculpture whioh will
be worthy of the city of Brotherly Love.

THE KEV. DR. SOMEBODY-OK-OTHER
Makes a practice of giving half of his marriage
feea -to his wife. This generally works well,
and the amiable aad accomplished lad is very
fond of it.
Bat, on a recent occasion, the learned cler
gyman was bothered about making the divi
sion. A thoughtful bridegroom presented
him with a magnificent suit of ROCKItlLL &
WILSON'S CLOTHES; coat, vest, and pants.
The wife olaimed her half. But how should
the lot be divided f Neither coat nor vest fit
the body, and as to her wearing the panta.
loons, it wouldn't do at all. So the olergyman
had to keep the whole fee himself; and he said
that he never had a better fee in his life; and
that be wished that in future, when folks came
to get married, they would bring tbe fee in
like manner, from ROCKUILL & WILSON'S.
Gentlemen who intend to get married, also
those who are already married, also young
men and boys who won't get married for seme
time to come, together with all other sorts and
conditions, are invited to call and see the tre
mendous stook of elegant summer raiment,
