8ATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1868.
Mr. Stanton's Great Speeen.
Dos. Edww M. Btawtojt, the inoomparable
BeoraUr of War during the greater part of
the Rebellion, has taken the stamp as an
active Republican In favor of the eleotlon of
the Chioago nominees. Ills speeoh delivered
In Stenbenvllle was a masterly effort, and we
think will well repay a careful reading. It
Will be found on the third page of Tab
Xvinmo Tkleobath of to-day. In It the re
sponsibility Of the war and the terrible results
Whioh have followed it are laid upon the
Shoulders of those who in Justice ought to
bear them. With great clearness the Secre
tary shows how the Democracy and the Demo
cratic allies in the Southern States are the
only men whom the nation must blame for all
ts desolated hearthstones and burdensome
publlo debt, lie well says:
For every, lire lost, every drop of blood
pilled, for every dolUr expended, evury ooml
Issued, and every cent of tax collected, the
slaveiioldlng aristocracy In responsible, to
gether with their sympathizer lu the Northern
and Western Blaten, who urged them to aold
oat and carry on ibo war until they could
obtain the control or the Government at the
next Presidential election."
To every thinking man this is clear.
When the Democracy cry about the evils of
the present condition of the country, let the Re
publicans reply, "We have to thank you lor
it." When the Demoorrcy say, "Look at the
heavy taxation now Imposed," let the reply
go forth, "You are responsible; your acts
and your declarations of sympathy have
caused this oppression." Without gloves the
Secretary puts the truth home to them, and
Jt must oarry with it conviction.
After stating the responsibility of the Re
publican party, the orator goes on to show
the qualifications of General Orant for the
Presidency, the high merit whloh should re
ceive recognition as high as itself. lie well
asks what objection can there be to our great
commander being our civil leader, and states
there is but one class of men who are likely
to oppose him.
"Why, then, again. I (isle, should he not re
ceive your Bapport ? WUtu reasou has any mi a
to give for wltuuoldlng it ? If thare be uaaoti?
you any man who would hide from the boy the
ttiMket that his father curried at Donelson or
Vickibvrg, on the James, ihrouyh the Wilderness,
w at Appomattox. U'turt House, l.t him vjto
aoainst Uenerut Orant. It there la any mail
fcmouu you who would blot fro.n the page of
history the story of tnse great achievements
at Vloksburg, at the Wilderness, at Richmond,
and Appomaiox Court lioase, let such a rata
draw black lines aiound the pages and write
across them:'! have no share in tb.es 3 tri
umphs. I have done my best to blot them from
felstory. I voted against Oeaeral Grant.' "
This is the only class who can be found who
Will oppose the General. We care not what
professions he may make, what assertions of
loyalty or devotion he may indulge in, the
man who favors Seymour and opposes Grant
desires in his heart to take the musket of the
soldier's father from the soldier's son. There
can be no halting between two opinions.
Either the citizen is a defender of the Peaje
Democracy, a B.ultifier of the war reoord of the
North, a contemner of the soldier, and one wa
desires to condemn him for his action in sub
dulng the Rebellion, or else he is one whe will
reward our veterans, recognize in them the
great saviors of our country, and reward
eaoh of them by rewarding their ohief. There
is a tine which separates. On one side or the
other eaoh must stand. On which side does
the. loyal citizen desire to be found 1
Mr. Stanton reviewed the New York Con
vention. After stating the olalms which
should elevate the one candidate, he showed
the demerits which should exclude the other,
lie spoke of the cry of taxation, and very
eloquently Bhowed how it had been the key
note of the Democracy since the first outbreak
of the war:
"But this song of bard taxes Is familiar to the
public ear. It has been sung ou a harp of a
thouNand sirlDgs at every stage of the war.
Before the war hctually broke out, and while it
was Imminent, we were told, 'D a't resist Seces
sion; let the Union be dissolved, for if you re
slut there may be heavy t ixes and bloidsued.'
Who does not remember that cry going through
the laud against the Govern meat ? It rose to a
bowl at Boll Kun. We were theu told that a
heavy debt bad been Incurred, und many lives
lost. 'Hlop the war at ouot!' It rung its highest
notes at Atlanta when the war wan declared a
failure, and the cessation of hostilities was de
manded. It croaked through the Wilderness
at the heels of Grant. At every step we were
told that the dally expeuses exceeded millions,
and countless thousands of lives were lost, until
It sunk to a wblaoporat Kavaunah, wbereSuer
znan sent twenty-five thousand bales of cap
tured cot on to Mr. iitnootu, and It was choked
to silence at Appomattox Court House."
These eloquent words should be foroed upon
the attention of all the people. The cry of
taxation was the battle-cry of the Democracy
throughout the war; it is their battle-cry still.
As by the glorious viotorles of the campaign
In the field that ory was stifled, so by the cor
responding glorious victory of this civlo cam
paign will It be forever hubhednow. The
speeoh by the ex Secretary Is one of the ablest,
If not the ablest, of the campaign, and makes
our people yet more eager to hear him when
he comes among us, as we understand he

The Question of rinance in a New
Lht.
Thb assertion is constantly being made, even
by well-informed men, that the holders of the
national bonds bought them far below par, for
a depredated currency, and that there is no
Jnttloe which requires that we should pay
them in any other money than that with whloh
they became our creditors. On this subject
the Atlantic Monthly, in a suggestive artiole,
gives some figures and thoughti whioh repay
attention. It says:
"la ltafaot that gold or Ita equivalent was not
nit en lor most of tue bona of tue United States?
Of the whole amount of our national loan,
there la reason to oelleve that two thousand
millions were taken by iho fol. owing classes,
vi b :
By Mortgagees Od0 003.000
" liULkH oUO.OOJ.OOU
" Havlnes Hanks iliO.uOO.Uutf
Utlicefs and Soldier l00.ooo.OiK)
- Hhlpownei 100.000,000
" Owners of horse, niul s, and
Blur, early lu the war 300.0ft0.000
12,000 000.000
"If this be so, two thirds of the loans were
tnken by men who gave either gold or gold
values for their securities."
Now, if these hypotheses be true, which we
see no reason to doubt, then the sum men
tioned was taken in the equivalent of gold. A
moment's thought will show this. The mort
gages held at the beginning of the war were
bought with gold. They were paid off under
the Legal-tender act in greenbacks, and the
greenbacks invested in the bonds. The same
is true of the banks in 18G1-2, while the
soldiers, ship-owners, and contractors, at the
commencement of the war, before the currency
was depreciated, took it at par and bought
bonds. Thus it will be seen that, both in reason
and honor, we should pay these holders of bonds
with the equivalent of what they loaned the
Government with gold. If all the arguments
in favor of repudiation and dishonesty have
no better foundation than this ono, those who
favor the Demooratio plan of financiering had
better lay aside all claims to reason and base
their aotlon on
"The good old rnle. tbe simple plan,
That he shall tike who bath the power,
And be shall keep woo oan."
The Spirit of John lirown.
Thb Age this morning again refers to the in
famous Demooratio slander on General Ilsctor
Tyndale. But it imagines that it has done
the case ample justice by stating that "both
these papers deny the acouraoy of the state
ment," referring to Thb Evening Thlborapu
and The Evening Bulletin. It may be that the
-dispeople cannot comprehend the meaning
of plain words; that they see no difference
between a simple statement on our part that
we believe a charge to be unfounded, and the
explicit denial of that charge by direot au
thority of the person involved. Bat while the
Age, detected In the very act of giving cur
rency to a bold-faced falsehood, and in the
equally discreditable ait of attempting to
fasten the responsibility for that falsehood
where it knew the responsibility did not belong,
satisfies its conscience with a half-way apology
for its petty partisan trick, it attempts to
bolster up the charge in a way that displays
its entire disbelief in its truthfulness. No
proof is brought forward to substantiate the
Blander which, by authority of General Tyn
dale, we have explicitly denied. The Age
hopes to Injure a gallant soldier and honorable
Christian gentleman by raking up the words
employed by the committee by whom General
Tyndale was informed of his nomination for
the office of Mayor:
"Your enrly struggles In tbe cause of the op
pressed, when contumely and insult weieyour
leward, are not forgotten now that these once
despised principles are successful. In your
bean Jobn Brown's spirit early found a lodg
ment, and in you it still goes marching on."
It also asserts that "the radioal journals did
muoh to accredit it when, on the nomination
of General Tyndale, they formally introduced
him to the publlo as a disciple of old John
Brown." By such a slender thread of proofs
as this, the A ge hopes to create the-lmpres-sion
on the part of its readers that General
Tyndale, in his own private parlor, pointed to
the portrait of J ohn Brown and emphatically
remarked: "That man was a better man than
Jesus Christ I" The utter desperation of a
desperate cause could not be more pointedly
illustrated than by this weak exhibition of
ridiculous and slanderous sophistry.
The committee by whom General Tyndale
wsb informed of his nomination truthfully de
clared that "in his heart John Brown's spirit
early found a lodgment, and in him it still
goes marching on." The only difference
between General Tyndale and the great body
of the Amerioan people consists in the faot
that the former became enlisted in the oause of
the oppressed at a day when "contumely aud
insult" were his sole rewards, while it was no1
until the Southern Demooraoy had assailed
the nation with traitorous hands, that the
united North marched to victory on a hundred
bloody fields, with these words for their battle
cry: "John Brown's body lies mouldering la the
grave.
But bis soul goes marching on I"
This was the spirit of tbe war for the Union,
and the noble deeds that were done in Ver
mont and Maine show tha it is not yet ex'
tinct. General Tyndale is thoroughly imbued
with this spirit, the Republican party of the
oity and State are still inspired by it, the great
loyal party of the nation embodies it in all its
length and breadth. The soul of John Broarn
Is the soul of progress, of truth, of justice, of
earnest antipathy to wrong, of herolo devotion
to the right. The man himself was a fanatic
a madman, rather but in his feeble Intellect
the spirit of truth and justice found a lodgment
and so woiked upon it that he was prompted
to a tash and criminal act which coat him his
life. But the spirit which impelled him did
not perish with him, aud when treason became
the inspiration of the Southern Dsmioiraoy ,
the "John Brown song" arose in response
from every hamlet in the land. With the
stirring strain upon their lips the army of
the Union, led by General Grant, swept over
the South; and now again, with the same
refrain for our watohword, and the sams great
soldier for our leader, we are sweeping over
the laud, from Likes to Gulf, from 0 eau to
Ooean, and when the oolumn of the Union has
passed, the last slumbering fires of Rebellion,
the last faint vestiges of human boadage, will
be crushed and smothered forever I '
A Contrast.
Our of the choioest gifts of genius is the
discernment of the good and the true. An
unfailing instinot directs it right, and the
sophisms of inferior minds fall before it as o
old; the migio forms of enchantment dissolved
at the touch of the weapon of the stain ss
knight. Suoh a genius was ripening to matu
rity in the brain and soul of young Wiothrop,
when he fell as one of the first viotlms to that
unholy Rebellion, whioh politicians, silly as
well as sinful, are striving to rekindle in our
midst. In describing, with eostaoy those deli
cious mineral springs of the Rocky Mountains,
which will at some future day become the
gathering places of the nations seeking relaxa
tion, health, and pleasure, he exclaimed as a
fitting climax of admiration: "Champagne to
that! more justly a satyr to Hyperion;
stage-moon to Luna herself; a Democratic
platform to the Declaration of Independence!
Anything crude, base, and sham to anything fine,
fresh, and true."
Both witty and wise were these words o
the patriot, who offered his young life aud
brilliant hopes for the salvation of the land he
deatly loved. On the battle-field did the prlu
oiples for which he died find a glorious trl
umph, but the struggle is again renewed in
a new field of aotion, and another Demo
oratio platform, "crude, base, and sham," is
offered to us with the stale pretense that its
worn-out, shabby falsehoods are still "flue,
freBh, and true."
If any evidence were needed to prove how
poorly the Rebels are reoonstruoted, their con
duct towards the enfranchised freedmen would
furnish it. One day they violate Constitu
tions and laws by ejecting colored legislators
and yet on another they encourage oolored
men to seek offioe and vote for them. They
organize Ku-Klux Klans to terrify, perseoute,
and kill all oolored men whom they cannot
overawe, and yet they do not hesitate to de
clare in some of their formal politloal mani
festoes that they will respeot aud maintain all
the rights of every negro who votes the Demo
oratio ticket. Where power can be gained by
open and undisguised antagonism to the freed
man, he Is denounoed in the most unmeasured
terms; but where freed men's votes are essen
tial to Eucoess they are courted, flattered,
feasted, and caressed by the proudest seces
sion dukes and dames. At a meeting iu a
Southern State, held not long ago, a Rebel
speaker made an earnest effort to win the
votes of colored men who hung around the
outskirts of his andienoe, and yet as he left
the stand he remarked to his Demooratio as
sociates, "sooner or later we must exterminate
the negroes." Efforts are even now being
made to secure a sufficient supply of arms to
drive Republican freedmen from the polls iu
the districts where they cannot be deoeived.
The men capable of such criminal duplicity iu
their treatment of the negro will aot with no
better faith in their intercourse with the loyal
white men of the country.
The School of Design for Women.
The Philadelphia School of Design for Women
is an Institution which is performing an excel
lent and Important work in a modest and un
obtrusive way, and tbe publio generally are too
little acquainted with its objects and alms. To
furnish women with honorable and remunera
tive employments, so that they can earn their
own living, and place themselves In positions of
Independence towards the world at large,
Is one of the great social problems of
the dny. Tbe difficulty under whloh
women labor In obtaining good wages for their
work, or in obtaining work at all that will en
able them to earn a subsistence, Is at the bottom
of tbe so-called women's rights movement
and it is of far more real Importance than the
suffrage question and other points of discussion
which that movement has given rise to. No
one who will give the subject a moment's
reflection can fall to understand how muoh the
cause of virtue and morality would be bene
filed if women were more generally educated
to earn their own living, provided with
employment suited to their tastes and abilities
end supported by tbe voice of soolety in the
Idea that it Is Just as honorable for a woman to
assist herself by tbe work of her bands as it i
for a man to earn hla living by labor, whether
mental or physical.
The (School of Design for Women is a step to
wards accomplishing this great eud. Tbe re
fined and elegant tastes of women make the
field of art one In which they can enter with
moro effect than In many others, and if women
artists, as a rule, fall below their masculine
competitors, it is to be attributed, we think
to a want of systematic preparatory training
ratber tban to any deficiency in ability. It is a
too common mistake with many Intelligent
persons that a stroDg natural talent is neoes
sary for any suocess in the way ol delineatlve
art. Ills doubtless true that aucb talent Is re
quired to make a competent practitioner In the
higher grades of art, but there la a latent
artlsllo taste in the mind of most
every one, which only requires 'to bi
educated aud developed to produce results In
tbe highest degree satisfactory. In fact, tbe
mechanical part of art if we may be allowed
tbe expression can be learned by almost any
one. Thousands of young ladles are taught
muslo and beoome fair performers without
developing any very remarkable genius for the
seience of barmonj; and there is no good rea
son w by they cannot obtain an equal amount
cf proflolenoy will the pencil and burin. Art
too, has an advantage over many of the employ!
ments whloh women now engage in, from tin
act that the remuneration for art-work, In the
great majority of cases, is determined by the
merits and not by the sex of the artist, and
women oan obtain as good wages as m en if
they are equally as onpable. These are our
Ideas on tbe subject of art education, and we
believe that they are essentially those of the
managers of the Philadelphia Bohool of Design
tor Women. Kxperleuoe, observation, and ao'
unslntance wllb more than one graduate of
that Institution fcave confirmed us In thelm
piesblon that women of ordinary intelligence
and induhtry, wbo may be deficient In genius
but wbo are endowed witb a spirit of perseve
lauce and a deteimlnatlon to accomplish some
ibiiig, can and do succeed as designers, en
gravers, photograph oolorlsts, and la similar
employments, not to speak of artists In the
more generally uud-srstood sense of the word
The system of education of theSonool of De
sign begins with tbe simplest element, and
leads by degrees to tbe mote dlffloult oomplloa
Hods of lines and figures, and. aa the natural
tastes of tbe pupil are developed she Is ad vanoed
to landscape and figure painting, modelling'
ete. The collection of easts belonging to the
Institution is very complete, and It Includes
most of the famous statues of antiquity, whloh
bave never been surpassed as models of beauty
by the best efforts of modern art. There is also
an excellent assortment of architectural models'
paintings from nature or fruits and flowers, aad
other similar objects, which are set before the
students as they become sufficiently advanoed
to deal with them.
The academic year of the Bohool of Design for
Women oommenoed on the Hih lnst., and in
addition to the annual course of studies ar"
rangementa bave been made for an interesting
and comprehensive series of lectures. On every
Friday from tbe 18th olScptember to the 4th ol
December, Professor T. O. Porter will leoturo
on "Structural Beauty," and under this general
title be will discuss vegetable cells and tissues,
germination and growth; the root and lis dif
ferent forms; the stem; branches and buds; the
leer, and morphology of leaves and phyllotoxyi
inflorescence; and the vegotnble kingdom and
laws of olasblfioatlon. Ou December 11 tbere
will bean examination of the whole class on
tbe subjects of the lectnres.
Dr. A. It. Thomas will deliver twelve lectures
on the human form on Wednesdays, from
September 23 to December V. Oa the 16th of
December the class will be examined on the
subjects discussed by Dr. Thomas.
Professor Braidwood on Thursdays, October 8,
November 12, December 10, January 11, and
February 11, will leoture on tbe social status
of women lu oonneotlon with the objects of
of Schools of Design for Women; science In the
decoration of our homes; the characteristics of
historic ornament; color practically considered,
and tbe fundamental ideas lu the morphology
of decorative design.
The public will be admitted to these leotures
by applying lor tickets of admission at tbe
School of Design, North Penu Square; and we
commend them to the attention of our oltlzens
as likely to be Interesting and Instructive, as
well as affording opportunities for finding out
something with regard to tbe objeots of the
school, and the very tborouga system of train
ing Which is practised there.

Our Cl'y Council meets tgaln,
Because we're through the4umtner;
And one good Couuo"man doth call
Another one, "A Bummkb!"
At which the other Councilman
Doth rage, as If on fire;
And promptly tells tbe former one.
He thincs he Is "A Lia!"
Tbe President declares himself.
To keep good order, able;
And some one moves (to stop the row)
Te lay it on the table.
Obi Jolly Common Conoollmen,
Like dogs snd bears, delighting
To scratch, and bite, and call hard names,
With scrimmaging and fighting I
Looking on all that sort of thing
Wllb most prodigious loathing,
We call good folks' attention to
Our stock of Antumn Clothing!
11 LET US HAVE PEACE!"
Corre along peacefully and joyfully, Jolly fellow
