THE DAIL1 gENlNor TELEGRAPH PHIL ADELPHI A t MONDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1863. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. IMTOSIAL OPItUOM OF TH8 LEADING JOURNALS CPOS CDBKBBT TOPIC COMPILED RVBBT KAT rOB TBI BVEftWQ TELEGKAPH. Grant's l'clicy. From the N. Y. Herald. Apparently a man can have a policy anl not know it. The Idea that tin President elect ia a person without a policy enema merely to have ilowed fromamiiUudeioUuding in regard to the use of words, and ia part of the differ ence that arises between the community and a man who never heard a thing ''called by that name before." Grant ha3, in faot, very positive ideas on a great many subjects, and as the world pretty well knows that he is a man who sticks to his ideas, we shall be aston ished if these firmly held views do not in time make a very substantial fabrlo of policy more puzzling than pleasing to Congress. He has, ior instance, rather close notions on national expenditure and simple thoughts in regard to economy, lie believes that a nation in debt, ss this nation is, and actually not meeting its obligations already incurred, has no right to go on incurring new obligations, and we fancy that the plain people will concur with him in this, litre, then, is a point of policy of the most extensive import. It is sound in mo rality and in finance, bnt we cannot hope that the Congressional jobbers will accept it. TiiC Coming Element ia 1'olitlcs From the Cincinnati Commercial. The subject of female suffrage has been taken op with more earnestness than ever. This is the case in England, as it is the ca3e here. In nearly every city organizations have been perfected to awaken attention and provoke discussion. Nor is the time of the advocates Of female suffrage spent in holding national conventions, passing resolutions, and making epeeohes. They have taken hold of the subject in a spirit of downright earnestness, and with a determination to carry forward the agitation till it shall result in an extension of the fran chise to the sex. The politicians may as well take note and shape their conduct accordingly. The women have waited and petitioned, passed resolutions and made speeches no end of them and now they propose to foroe their claims upon the public mind, and take a hand in shaping politics to their own ends. So the gentlemen who want office and who make it part of their duties in a canvass to call upon the constituency, Hatter the women and kiss the babies, must understand that that sort of soliciting won't work any longer. They will hereafter be put to another sort of test, and must expect to be sharply cross-examined on the subject of suffrage and equality of civil rights as between the sexes. It is con ceded by experienced canvassers that the com plexion of an election depends very much on the home influence, and the side the sister, the mother, or the wife espouses. Tolerably firm llepublicans have been known to yield to this inllnence and vote the Democratic ticket, and vice vcrsd. The fact is that the influence of the sex in matters of religion, politics, and social rela tions is as unlimited as it is undefined, and of very considerable importance to one who looks well to the controlling forces in a politi cal canvass. It must be taken into the ao ount, for it is a daily-increasing aud felt quantity. The women of Amerioa, especially since the war, have taken a very lively inte rest in politics, and have so well informed themselves that it is not uncommon to find a lady capable of discussing capital questions with an intelligence and clearness of view that we expect only in those who have de Toted much time to the study of politics ani adopted it as a profession. There is no pro bability that hereafter there will ba any oom plaint of indifferentism on the subject among them. As women become enlightened in political affairs and that is to say as they grow consoious of their own power, and the ends to which it can be profitably directed they will display it in a more positive form than we have seen, and will probably follow the impulsion they have acquired, till it re sults in an almost universal demand for a direct influenoe in politics. Men, when ap proaohed on that subject, usually dismiss it with the general remark that when it is evi dent that women really want to vote, no obstacle will be allowed to stand in the way of their doing so. Encouraged by this, Lucy Stone makes a powerful appeal to working women, who wish to seoure a fair day's wages for a fair day's woik, to petition Congress for a change in the Constitution, extending suf frage to the female sex. The following is the form of petition proposed: To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Stales In Congress asHetnbled: The nndersigned citizens or the United States pray your bono; able bodies that In any pro posed amendment to the Constitution which may come before you In regard tosutt'rnge, and In any law au'eoMng KnlCruKe in the District o( Columbia, or any Territory, the right of voting may be given to women on the same terms us men. To this petition she adds: "T.ttue widow, living on her 'll'e-nie' oftuc pitiful 'thirds,' aud 'allowed to remain forty Uujh without paying rent In lue house other deceased huhbantl,' blgn 11. "IiOl the wife from whem the law taken the right to what fhe earus, and the power to mane a win wiinouii ner nubuaua'tt consent, ulna It. 'Lei the mother who has no legal right to her own children, sign it. "Let the young man Just gone out from the Dome wnere nis oesi irienu uuu counsellor nas been his mother stun It. '-Ietthe ftlher wuote little daughter looks trustingly to him for every koocI, Hlyu It. "Let the soldier who returned from battle sounder In belih and stronger of limb because ol the woman s uauil w ho dressed his wound aud minUteredio his wants In slckucHS, siiju It. "Lul every iuu wii regard UU own right to the ballot as sacred, sign It." Our sleepy politicians must wake up. Lit them not lay the flattering unction to their souls that the agitation of the question of female suffrage will expend itself, or that the wide-awake females van be cajoled aud flat tered by a few pleasantries and gallantries to give up the hue and ory that is now being raised from Maine to California, mere are signs and tokens on every hand of earnestness and perseverance, and they must remember the old saw "When a woman wills she wills. and that's the end on't. The coming element in politics ia already shadowed forth more vividly than the refreshing storm that the prophet saw in the cloud no bigger than a man's hand, and the politician whose eyes have not been anointed with the oil of dis cernment to see the future that will be, may expect to be laid on the shelf among the po litical mummies and skeletons. 11U occupa tion will be gone. Butler aud the Clergy, From Brick romroy's N. Y, Demecrat: Iu 1859 Butler made a sp eoli at Charles town, Mass., in which he called up some very ugly things for them to look at there at home, to which he requested them to give some share of their atteutlon, instea. of direoting it all to the condition of the negro. In this speech he exposed the pauper system of Massachusetts, and charged that, "according to the statistics furnished by the present State Legislature, as a report of their own oommittee, it is more dangerous to- spend a year in a Massaohusett almshouse than it would Lave been to have led the Zouaves at Mazenta." . Again he said. "Let me repeat. There was a large proportion of the regiment which led the attack at the battle of Kolferiuo came out from the battle, than there was of the paupers of 1 ST, who came out alive from the State almshouse of Massachusetts." lie went on to show that there weretwenty se'vtti hundred and some odd paupers ia the State almshouse that year, ani that of these six hundred aud sixty-six one in every four died. Poor lien's tender heart was wrung with the horrible details which he brought up to harrow the souls of his audience, and he talked piteously of "the potter's field" aud a pauper's burying-ground!" How justly, too, did he castigate the Pharisees with whom he is now in such lovinz fellowship! Hear him: "Why. this whole CimmonwoaUh fallout- raced beer-use there came a report from Kau nas that Rlx or eight men had beet) kllied; and our mothers, and wives, RUd daughters scoured the country ror old clothes ana otuer comfort to ueud to the people of that Territory. (Ltn:r,i. ter.) In the snrue year, three hu tut rod and odi children, of MafHuehusetts soil, died lilted ns In r kennel In our own almshouses, 'while we were weeping over the Imaginary wrongs of Kansas ! Afiitln I nsli, tuy friends, is It not time we looked at home? Where in Mrs. Btowe? Where Is Greeley la the Tribune? Where Is the extra philanthropy of the huma nitarians? Where is that denouncer of if rent and Rood men, Wendell Phillips? Where are all l nose good men wiin regulate the aiiairs of the people star off? In there not ample room for their charities here at home? One hundred and sixty five chlldreu dying at Brldgowater: one hundred and fifteen at Tewksbury, and one hundred and one at MudhouI Forty lu louts dead in two months! Oh! but they were white children! (Laughter.) Why look after them?" Ah, Ben, Ben, you rogue, why did yon talk so ? Were these things all true, or did you lie, you scamp ? If true, why so silent about them now? If false, how can we believe you in anything 1 Hut notwithstanding ms silence upon 1'url- tan hypocrisy, aud his "loyalty" to the Mas sachusetts "ideas," he does not escape alto gether the old-time buffetings from the clergy. A Cleveland pulpit pounder, of the name of strong, perpetrated a sermon on lien Thanks giving day, and sent him a copy. the hero ol bloodless lights retorU in cool set phrase, "turning the tables of the money changers" upon his reverenoe in a way that probably he did not anticipate. He aoouses his assailant with using "the pulpit for the purpose of personal vituperation iu the interest of capital aud the money-changers, whom our Divine Master drove out of (Jed's holy temple with a scourge of small cords. Nay, He ex pelled theretrom those who soli doves au innocent occupation compared with that of the gold gamblers aud f peculators to whom you Beem to have given the benefits of the sanctuary." Having given his antagonist this home thrust, he makes the terrible threat of class ing this clerical "production with the lucu brations of B:ick foineroy.' " O, Ban! don't do that. We object to the classification: we'll stand no such partnership. but iien grows almost pious when he gives the reverend gentlemen the following post script: T.S. iVthonld bo pletsed to hear from you a Bum on on this text. 'Why do.-t tUou Judge thy brother;' or, 'Why dost thou ffet at umiaut thy brother , for weshall a 1 stand before Lheludti- monl seat of Christ ' " That Ben should have cited that last text has completely confounded u. It can't bs that he believes in a hereafter. He talk about "the judgment Beat of Christ!" Why, what a Heaven-daring wretch! lue old pirate who preceded him upon the gallows on which he ought to swing, could not have braved it out more wickedly and defiantly than this hopeful son, who has committed more crimes and hot ter deserves hauging than any pirate wlu ever swung. Where to Lire, and How. From the N. Y. Tribune. We presume that not less than two hun dred thousand persons are now within sight of our city steeples wno have no work, no real homes, and no means which insure them a livelihood. Some of them beg or steal out right, but a larger number eke out a miserable existence by running into debt for lodging, for board, or at groceries, or by borrowing from weeK to weeK of whomsoever will lend them, or by quartering themselves on reluctant relatives or friends. When ice begins to form on the rivers, the business of our city suddenly ana seriously contracts, throwing tens of thousands out of work; and, just at this time, tens of thousands more are uis charged from farms or country residences closed for the winter, and drift down to our pavements in quest of that employment which it is morally impossible that they should find. The net result is an aggregate of want, squalor, misery, and degradation fearful to contemplate. Thousands take their fint lessons in crime at this season, under the pressure of needs whioh explain, though they do not excuse, their lau. The saddest feature of this sad business is its hopelessness. Benevolence may somewhat mitigate the sufferings of its victims, but only at the cost of increasing their number. Men and women will rush to the great cities most of all, to this city in ever-increasiDg num bers: if there were rich philanthropists ready aid willing to lodge and feed them all without charge, they would be as numerous as the leaves cf the furest. Benevolence Is the noblest of virtues; we would dissuade no one from giving; but the more you give, the more you may in a city so vast and so attractive as this is. If a hundred thousand dollars per day were disbursed here iu alms, the net result would be a steady increase iu the number and needs of the becrars. The social disease at the base of this misery is impatience of Blow returns for our efforts. Half those who crowd our cities in fruitless quest of employment might be their own employers if they would. But he who steps off into the unpeopled wilderness or prairie, with an axe on his shoulder and a few dollars in his pocket, intent on making himself a home, must work aud save and endure priva tions for years, in the reasonable hope of en joying thereafter the fruits of his exertions and transmitting those fruits in good part to his children. The industrious pioneer works four days per week for the future, only two for the present. He clears and breaks up, fences, bu lds, makes roads, etc., with a full knowledge that the benefits of his exertions must largely be realized years hence. The foresight aud thrift herein required overtax the virtue of too many, who want to realize each Saturday night all they may have earned during this week and spend it before the close of the next. Henoe, men rush to the cities, where the opportunities abound for obtaining and spending wages as fast as they are earned, and where they fancy that a spice of chance or gambling gives a zest to effort. Thus are the cities overcrowded, while the fields are but half tilled and not one new settler's cabin sends up a smoke where twenty should do so. What can be done to change all this for the Utter? Instantly, very little. The number who prefer c keeping an apple-stand on a street corner to hoeing corn on a prairie is soaroely diminished by the notorious faot that the former pursuit leads inevitably through a life of squalor to a pauper's grave, while the latter is the plain high, road to modest comfort and Independence. Men will cling to the oltios nay, they will rush hither in broader, more impetuous currents, despite all . remonstrane and entreaty. Nothing can be done with th thriftless they will not be coaxed nor driven from the pavements; aud they would be worth little on the frontier of civilization If they oould be. The almshouse and potter's flail have a mortgage on them, which must b foreclosed in due season. Give them the price of a loaf of bread when any of them badly need and you can spare It, but leave them to go their way to the inevitable end. But there la a very large class in tnu and every other great city who might improve their prospects by migration, and who ought to make the attempt. We allu ia to the great body of our mechanics, retail traders, clerks, uvva-AQrj;ria. ric w aav uaio duuio uioaua ahead, but who find it difficult to all thereto by strict economy, because their families have grown so large that rent, food, aud clothiug absorb all they can earn. There are tens of thousands of these, heads of families, who could leave the city next spring with $1000 to $51)00 each, yet who cling to the pavements because they can see no way to do better. To this large and worthy class, we say emphati cally, you can do better ! Let us briefly show how: One hundred such might combine their means and send one or more of their number to select and buy laud, whether iu the West or the South we will suppose the latter. Ten thousand acres of land lyiug in a body, and consisting of one to five or six old slave plan tations, may be bought for 30,000 to 100,000 the deareBt probably, but not necessarily , the cheapest. Be sure that the tract is healthy, well timbered, and well watered that it in cludes at least one good water-power, aud ad joins a railroad or navigable stream. Take along the cash to pay for it all down, and be very certain that the title is unquestionable. Survey the entire purchase into lots, after selecting the best site for a village, and fix a day when each lot will be sold at auction to the highest cash bidder, no matter whether a member of the company or not. Allow eaoh member who shall have contributed to the purchase money ten per cent, premium for his advance, and let certificates for the money thus advanced be received as cash in payment for anylot3 purchased, whether by members or others. Reserve such tracts as may be needed for public uses, and sell all the rest lor cash only, Ukiug care that timber and tillage are so divided that whoever will may buy either or both. We are confidebt that such a company, Vuy- mg and divldmg a tract ou this plan, aud making oue contraut for the passage of their families and the conveyance of their goods, might be located next March or April on homesteads that would b-i worth at least double their cost., with a fair prospect of a steady increase in value, hvery member who is a carpenter, mason, cabinet-maker, painter, etc., would find ample employment at his trade, ia building and furnishing the houses that would be needed; while hundreds of choppers, sawyers, diggers, ploughmen, gar deners, etc. etc., would be wanted, with grocer?, general merchants, a lawyer, doctor, teachers, and hundreds more of workers in vaiious capacities. He must ba a poor stick who could not find some paying employment in Euch a colony; and, while wages would be lower than here, rain, food, aui fael would not cost half so much. There would of course be some drones, grumblers, anil good-for-nothings; but these would soou drift away, leaving the settlement the better for their absence. There are fifty thousand plaee3 in the South to say nothing here of the West where such settlements might be.inade to ad vantage; and there are at least one hundred thousand families within twenty miles of us who might improve their oiroumstauces by helping to make them. And any company might agree on a treasurer in whose hands their money would be perfectly safe until re quired to pay for their purchases. Mr. Fisk's Suit for Libel Against Jlr. Bowles From the JV. Y. Timet. The publio is already familiar with the cir cumstances under which Mr. Samuel Bjwles, editor of the Springfield Republican, was ar rested at the Filth Avenue Hotel a few days since, at the suit of Jas. Fisk, Jr., forau alleged libel contained in his published comments on Fisk's action as a director of the Erie Railroad. Iu the mere fact of the arrest there was nothing remaikable, nor are we aware that in so planning it as to deprive Mr. Bowles of the opportunity to procure ball at once, either Mr. Fisk, cr the publio officers who evidently acted as his tools in carrying the plan into operation, did anything which they had not a legal right to do. Judge MoCuuu had a right to issue his order of arrest; Sheriff O'Brien had a right to refuse to take bail or do busi ness after office hours; his deputies had a right to act just as little like men of common sense and decency as his instructions aud their natural inclinations might require; aud the jailor had a right to refuse to permit Mr. Bowles to see any of his friends who might call to aid him, or even to send a note to his counsel or his wife. These o'llicials, we presume, had a perfeot riijhtio act juBt as coarsely and as basely as they did act; and no ono who knows them will doubt that, iu any case where a gentle man of character and position, belonging to the Republican party, like Mr. Bowles, is con cerned, they would act at least as bastly as the law would allow. In a publio point of view the case has little importance Mr. Fisk has a right to hs suit for libel, and will be heartily welcome to all he will make out of it. Mr. Bowles is none the worse in person, character, or in his feel ings, we presume, lor having spent oue night in Ludlow Street Jail; all he suffered from was the extortiou of the jailor, who charged him 1!) f0 for his night's lodging. Nor are we at all disposed to treat the case as an instanoe of judicial tyranny to dignify Judge McUuun's order of arrest by speaking of it as like the old French Uttres de cachet, a mere caprice of arbitrary power, or to raise a cry of alarm for personal liberty, as though we were all in danger of losing it. at any moment, at any body's whim. All this is nonsense, and not very alarming nonsense, at that. The whole proceeding is of interest mainly as an episode and illustration of oniutai man ners in this city, of the class of men who are in high office and with the power to browbeat, Insult, and bully decent people wnicn goes with it, and of their readiness to use that power to IU full extent and in the most offen sive manner, whenever an adequate motive exists for doing so. It is interesting, also, as showing the differ ence between a quiet, unassuming, well behaved genMeman and Mr. James Fisk, Jr., nnon whose person our eyes have never had the felicity to rest, so far as we are aware, and of whom we know nothing whatever, exoept what we. in common with the publio, have learned from his conduct in the Lrie Railroad fcandals. and from his treatment of Mr. Bowles in this libel suit and arrest. But it is not necessary to eat . the whole of a cheese in order to test its quality, nor to be familiar with the whole of Mr. Flik's life to judge of his ceneral character. A single act will decile whether a man is a knave or a man of honor, as well as a lifetime; aud It Is generally reoog nized as a Bound rule in business matters to thop a man cangM in one act of villalnv, with- nut waiting to pee what will be the general imor of his lite. Judging Mr. Flfk by this rule, wo should not expect to llnd him a man vho-n t-t- are so lelined as to make him fastidious ou nice points of personal conduct, or wIhwm -sen- of tight aud wrong i so keen as to rnak- hi-u pause lu any pioject likely to promote his own advantage, or whose feeling of wnat is due, either to a gentleuiau or to himself, would dt ter him from any action, however brutal or d. grading, that a ooaree, low nature might prottpt him to )-rpetrate. We do not, iuau to fay thftt he is nit. a philanthropist ttut he dr.es not build churches, found seminaries, or do a good deal of that kind of sanctiuiouiuui woik, though we have never heard that he did. But we incline to tV.'nk that he has little laith in nidi roudabont modes of getting np in the world. Kvidently he is uot one ot your blow and easy pilgrims, who believe iu earning what they get who have, or at least profess to have, tome regard for the decencies and decorums of life, aud who, if they must or will do a coarse, low act, pre fer not to do it lu a coarse, low manner, but cloak it over with some of the shows of civility, if nothing more. Mr. Fisk, when he has a tfrrg to do, does it; when he wants money, he gets it; when he wants to gratify a small per sonal spite, he does it regardless of every body's feelings, and of everything but the spite that prompts him. He probably enjoyed intensely that is, as intensely as such a nature can enjoy anything the belief that he had made Mr. Bowles wretched by giving him a coarse lodging for a'night, and that he had blighted the comfort of his life by making him pass that night in jail. But passion is always short-sighted. Mr. Fitk's ideas of what a man must suffer from passing a night in prison were derived, not from experience, but from imagination; and that is always colored more or less by peculi arities of personal character. Mr. Fisk may have a very clear and correct idea of what he would suffer in jail, what he would have to think of, what acts of manly heroism, sympa thy and kindness to remember, what schemes of far-reaching beneficence to meditate, aud what a splendid career of honorable well doing to ponder for the future or,on the other hand, through what an unbroken series of eelfish, reckless, unscrupulous aots of frau dulent and disgraceful "enterprise" he has grown rich and useless for all good enla of living. But Lis thoughts in jail would not necessarily be the thoughts of Mr. Bowles. A iight thus spent might be much more endu rable for Mr. B. than for Mr. F; and thus Mr. F may not have achieved the noble though somewhat coarse and brutal revenge which, iu the recesses of a tniud capacious of Bueh things, and the re3ouroes of a corporate pocket abundant enough to pay for them at current rates he had promised himself for Christmas day.
