THE DAILY E s KG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1869, THE ANCIENT C1T. The governing spirit of Greek and Roman axwietj was pagan religion, and its organisa tion was not feudal, bat patriarchal and ssoer dotal. Every publio and private act of life was. more strictly even than with the Hindoo f the present day, also an act of religioaa Irorauip. tJooiolj w&1 oonfederntiou of fATnllieft. eaob fatally buirig under the abso lute inriediotion of a patriarch, or pater, who was both king and priest in his own family. Irery family had its own gods, its own i)n manes (J heoi phthcnioi mucltioi), the Bonis asd tombs of lis own ancestors, its own kearth-worBhip almost everything Wong lug to the family was proteoted by religious aaotity. The house was a temple, its hearth Was sacred; the threshold was sacred, the walls Were saored, the very boundary-stones were Mored, and in later times beoame divinities. Bvery meal was partaken of as a saored rite; marriage was a sacred rite, whi ih required for elebration no holier plaoe of worship than the house itself, and no priests of greater anctity than the fathers of eaoh household. Maoh family, however, was divided into two ajtes the patrioians, the t ipa'rulcs, and the lienta (tbe Thetcs), formed of the deurenda nt 0 of the domcstios and slaves of the family, in Athens the olient catte disappeared under the aeeisiation of Solon; but at Kome, as is well kn "wn. they remained up to a later perioi. Tie multiplication of families in theooarse of generations prodnoed the gens (genvs), eaoh number of whioh worshipped the same oorn Bkon ancestor of the gens. Hence it was that females who married out of one gms into another co lorjger formed a portion f the former, and neither she nor her descendants could inherit from her own ances tral family since Bhe was initiated into another family worship, the preservation of which was the chief care of piimitive legisla tion, and it was inconceivable that any one onld inherit frcm a guns who was not bound to maintain its family worship. The gens might thus in the coarse of ages comprise many thousands of individuals, not yet suffi cient to form a Ktate. When, however, the notion of formiDg a State was first oonceived, there was an iuiuienae obstacle. How could families form any union who worshipped as chief deity of their raoe different divini ties T for the very presence of a stranger was a profanation of the household hearth f Jthe household gods. The difficulty was avoided by the choice of a divinity who onld be worshipped alike by all the families joining in a confederation, with a fresh set of rites not interfering with, but in addition to, the domestic rites of the household divinities. This confederation was the curia or phratria, and its religious worship was modelled pre cisely after the fashion of the old domestic re ligion. The cur a or phratria, brotherhood Sanscrit. LuUlntr. frater), had its protecting 4eity, and the chief religious rite was that of eating a meal prepared in common oq the altar of the god. The confederations of tbe fhratri,a were further similarly confederated anew in the inbe. That which had been done for the tribe could be done by further eon federation to form a city; and a new deity ould be selected for th8 city, and rites insti tuted in whioh all the tribes might Join. ThuB, the whole State was knit together in a eompact organism by the bonds of religious rites and common presiding deities. The bond of union between members of the same city wao worship of the same city goJ, Theos poh us the bond of union between members of the same tiibe was worship of the same tribe god, '1 litos jihuUvs, the bond of union between members oi the same phratria was worship Of the 9ame 1 twos phratrio?, Juno curialis the bond of union between members of the same family was wombip of the same famiiy gods, 2 heoi patroii, Da gentiles and in public life, as in private life, ovry ad was performed under religious auspices, aud its magistrates Were all priests. The city being thus constituted und.ii reli gious auspices, the next thing to do w3 to found the town for its habitation for no act, pnblio or private, could le conueived as law ful without religions consecration no tosvn oould be formed, as modern to vus have been founded, by a casual agglomeration of thauce corners. Ail tbe recordi which tell us of the founding of Greek aud liomau oi'.ies prove that the foundation of a city was the result of pre Tions disign and confederation, performe 1 at a plaje aud on a day determined ly the eou snltation of religious auspices. The day of the loundition was fcucvn iu every city, and was kept as a sacred festival; and duriog the brief existence of a Roman republio in IMS), they celebrated the fi'te of the foundation of the city of Rome. Wueth'sr j the Btory of Romulus be true or not, the ! aecount of the rites performed at the founling ! f the city of Rome must have been in har mony with those which were generally prac tised on such occasions. After Etruscan fa.-ihioa, Romulus consulted the auguries in the flight of birds he offered a sacrifice he and his asso ciates lit a fire of brushwood, and leaped across the purifying flames, to intimate that the people of the new city must be pure. Romulus, with his head veiled and in sarcerdotal costume, chanting a prayer, traced tho limits of the city with a plough, and this furrow was acred, just as the walls of a house were lacred. Remus, the Btory is, leaped in deri sion across the saored farrow, lie had thus committed an impious aot; he had profaned the city at the very moment of its birth, and it could only be purified by the blooi of the Bender. The walls, indeed, of the city were considered bo sacred that no one had a right even to touch them without the permission of the pontiff; henci the pomarium, the sacred tpaoe on each tide, which no plough might pass over and no edifice profane. Bo impossible, indeed, was it considered to found a -city without the proper religious rites, that, according to Pausanias, the Maasenians, when trunght back into their country by Spaminondas to found a city, were in despair how to begin it, having forgotten their here ditary rites of foundation, uutil a Messeniau opportunely had a revelation by dream of an am buried on the new site, containing plates of metal on which tbe whole ritual for found ing a Meeeenian city was engraved. Tbe city when built was placed under the protection of the (toils of the spot, to whom no stranger was allowed to pay worship; and it was imagined no c ty could be taken till tue gods baa departed from it. Hence iu a be sieged city all sorts of devices were invented t Induce the gods to remain; while the be siegers made the ho utile sols all kinds of pro mises to coax tbem to pass over into their oamp. tometimes tue besieged attaoUed their divinities by chains to posts, sometimes tbey hid them. The Romaos invented ah artlilce Which teemed the safest possible they kept the name of their chief divinity a pro found secret. Ho long as the enemy onld not invoke it by name, they believed St would never leave them. They had, moreover, a formula of inoantation, presrved Vy Uaorobius, for invoking the gods of the towns they besieged to desert their enemies; and some formula were bo powerful, it was tWHeved, that if properly pronounced, with cut change of a single word, they were irre sistible. The Athenians, aocording to Heredo tus, wanted to make war against Salamis; bat BaUuiU had for protection a very powerful 2c4a Aub, ibe Athenian! delayed making war on Salamis fur thirty years, in order to build a temple to JHaons, and to pay court to him by continual sacrifice, in order to get him to leave the Balaminians to themselves and desert to the Athenians. In the same way as eaoh city worshipped their ancestors, bo eaoh city worshipped its own founders and heroes, as well as tbe gene ral gods of pature, who assumed a local onarao. t is each city lit whioh they beoame gods. There were thus almost as many JaP'rs as there were cities. One Tallas was on he side of the Greeks, another on the side of the Tio jans. At Rome there was one Juno, but Veil bad another, invoked by Camillas to leave the city before be took it; and after the conquest he carried her statue to Rome, and Rome pos Ksscd two Jonos. To take possession of your enemies' gods and not part w ith your own was the treat policy of all antiquity. In the HKdipns Coloueus" Thebes and Athens con tend for possession of the body of a king who is shout to become a god. Of the tyranny of religion iu a State thus religiously constituted, it is diffioult, very dif ficult, now, to form any adequate oouoeption. Men relied little on the good nature of their gods, who were envious of human happiness (phtln.no) and very irritable, and took every opportunity of catching their worshippers trip ping and taking reveuge upon them. All the cares of men were devoted to keeping their gods in good humor, parts deorum nmirere and the diversity of rituals of the different ways of performing sacrifice to these innumerable divinities were as numerous a3 the divinities themselves. Kvery gesture of the priest, every portion of bin costume, must be adapted to rule and precedent. Iu praying to one god the head must be veiled; in praying to another it was to be uncovered; for a third the lap of the toga was to be drawn over tbe sbonlder. Some prayers had no validity unless the priest 6pun around from left to right after repeating them. The kind of the victim, its color, the manner of killing it, the form of the knife, the kind of wood employed in the Ore for saoritloe, all were to be different for each god and for each sacrifice. The consuls and the dictators of Rome were obliged to know all these nice distinctions, and were degraded by the Senate if it was discovered that a mistake was made by them in any sacrifice, fccicli was the per petual state of terror about giving offense to their gods which pervaded the ancient oity. Since, then, no man worshipped any other gods than thoue of h's city since outside the walls of his city he was a member of no so ciety, admitted to no religious rites, protected by no laws, incapable of possessing a-ny pro perty without ancestors, compelled to live as the plebeians were fluid to live, more ferarum it is not surprising that patriotism wa3 so energetic a sentiment with Greek and Roman, and death itself was regarded as preferable to exile or loss of couutry, by which he was de prived of every right, both humau and divine, and an excommunicated accursed being, like a pariah or a canot. The word "tyrant," which has come to have such an ill-omened sound, was usedaknply at first to designate a political chief who was not a priest; for the advent of the tyrant denoted the conception of a new political idea the submission of man to man, apart from a reli gious organization. This new idea sprang up in the mind of the democracy of every city. After the aristocracy had succeeded iaabolisu ing political royalty, the people everywhere sought for a political chief to make head against their opponents and oppressors. And everywhere, also, the increase of the political power of the yhbs went on fcimultaneonsly with the disintegra tion of the old sacerdotal form of society, till their final conqm-st of political right3 trans formed entirely the character of the ancient city. Everywhere the course of revolution was the Bame abolition of royalty, govern ment by the aristocracy, disintegration of the gens, enfranchisement of clients, admissioa of the piths into the Sta'.e. The very fact of the pltis receiving recognition at all as a body with whom engagements might be entered into and observed, denoted a chaoge in the moral and religious ideas of the inhabitants of the Eccient cit.y. Io solidly constructed was the sacerdot.il form of society that it might have continued as it wa3 for centuries longer had the hitherto outcast plcbs nol been growing up out side it as a dirtHolviug power had the plehs also leen originally enrolled in the hierarchi cal constitution of the Ftate. Hut the pUls originally a mingled race of outside pariahs, composed of foreign settlers and trader, of men exiled from other cities, er discarded from theii fnutes, of fieediimu, illegitimate children and foundlingn who were alniitiod to no participation iu religious rites, were bound by no tie1), roliious or civil, to tho established orders of the city, who3e sacred rrecincts thev were not even allowed to lu- halH, but dwelt iu a kind of outside Ghetto cy themselves. However, in course of time they grew rl'h and enterprising, in spite of the disabilities under which they labored, and perhaps even in consequence of their freedom from theall-euvelopine trammels of sacerdotal society; and when they were called upon to support a part of the State tardens, they naturally also demanded a share of State protection. The first great struggle between plebeians and patricians appears to have arisen, both at Rome ami at Atnen, Irom tne severity witn which patrician creditors treated their debtors. The contest was lr- tight to a conclusion in Athens much more rapidly than iu Rome, where the plebeians consumed four centurlea in the prosecution of their claims to oitizen ship. Trie re orms of Solon and CleistheueB broke the chains of servitude for the plebeian in Athens; while the first reform wrung by the Roman plebeian from the patrician wan the institution of tribunes and the publication of the laws of the twelve tables. Hoth of these re forms were followed by immense changes in the religious beliefs of the citizens. Tbe tribunn, like the ty rant,wa" tbe first non-sacerdotal pub lio magistrate, the flint msgiotrate whose politi cal functions wore not an attribute of an heredi tary sacred character; aud in the code of the twelve tabhsit is no longer the mysterious voice of religion wbi.di speaks, but the legis lator, who represents the peopla aud reooj nizes the principle of publio interest as a due motive of actiou. Tbe Introduction of this new profane dogma the welfare of the rexpub lira, the to kanon o( the Greeks into StitH affairs was the beginning of a nnw order of society aud of the d-ath of the Anoient City.

A case has lust hi en consummated here which, In these days of magnificent crimes, would be deemed nn worthy of uoVloe in oomparieon, but for seve ral points of interest in the manner in which it was "worked up." Briefly, the case Is as follows: At an early hour on the morning of the 31t of December last, Edward II. Ktog, agent of the Virginia Express Co., while on his way to the depot of the Norfolk and I'etersbnrg Railroad, Just as he was passing the mouth of King's lane, was knocked down and robbed of a Bum of upward of $10,000. The money had been drawn from tbe Exchange Bank the day previous, on a check drawn by H. V. Tomp kins in favor of Edward U. King.. fc-oon after this ooourrence, and while Mr. King was yet in bed suffering from the severe blows he had reoeived from his assailants, tt came to be suspected that no robbery had been committed, and that the whole affair was merely a ruse to enable King to keep posses sion of the money alleged to have been taken from him. Accordingly the matter was banded over to our poliae, who were sup posed to be hard at work upon it until the patience of the president of the com pany was exhausted. Application was then made to 1'inkerton'a National Police Agency, in your oity, and about the beginning of this month Mr. H. E. Thayer, Superintendent of the Philadelphia branch of that establishment, arrived here, and was operating upon the case before any pen on but Mr. Tompkins was aware of his presenoe in town. He was not long in fastening suspicion of the crime upon King, and caused his arrest, as also that of some other persons with whom the money had been divided. King had so involved himBelf that it became necessary for him to seal certain mouths, and this conld only be done with money. A man named l'otts was in the secret, and with him two women, one the favorite of King and the other his own. While Mr. Thayer was at work, Mollie Johnson, one of the women alluded to, left for Baltimore, but he telegraphed to another of 1'inkerton's men in Philadelphia to start for Baltimore, capture Mollie on her arrival, and brirg her hither. Accordingly Mollie arrived here before Bhe bad been long away. In her possession was found $1500 of the stolen funds. This amount she got from Fotts, he having received from King $2500. Maude, another of the party, who had reoeived $450 to seal her lips, was robbed in jail by a negro, at least so it was alleged. Tbis brought three of our officers "to the manor born" into requisition. Ihey made the negro disgorge, and for their trouble kept $110 of the $220 which they re covered from him. King was very desirous of settling the matter, and he is not without friends who are willing enough to restore the whole amount, providing he can be set free, but Mr. Tbajer declined to entertain any pro position of that kind. King and Fotts, feeling that they were pretted bo bard by the detectives that escape was impiobable, broke down and told the story, I nt not until the disposition of every cent of the money had been accounted for, and the evidei.ee of KiDg's guilt so conclusive that conviction was a necessary consequence. Mr. Thayer's deductions are as follows: King retained for biraelf $5000; gave to Potts, $25X0; to lawyers, $1200; Maude, $450; King's father, $500; Mr. lirown, 1"jO; board, SliOU; spent for whisky, $100-13; total, $10,10tM3. Of tbis amount the whipky money, $30 the negro spent for clothing, $110 in the hands of the detectives, and $1200 in the hands of the lawyers, is all not. jet re covered, as Mr. Thayer obtained all the rett and deposited it in the bank to the ctcOit of tbe l3.-e-idcot of the Virc;iuia Einrcg Company, bdore leiw'mjr n.
