Doctor Chapin compel ns to continue charac

If Doctor Chapin, in his private character,
chooses to consort with Sickles, in his private

to make public, we could make no objection
provided ho did it with such precaution, of
Lcrecy as would save the shocking of the
public sense of decency. Hut be has taken

but as to tho arms of a minister of the Gospel.

That ft layman, debauched by political in
terest, or hurried away by political excite
ment, should bfl williug to condone private
baseness in consideration of political perfidy,
is a lamentable, but still, in some ways, an
accountable thing. We cannot believe that
even a layman who objects very seriously to
breakages of the sixth, seventh, and eighth
commandments can bring himself to pay
public honor to a man whose chief notoriety
has been won by murder, adultery, and theft.
Lut although such a layman must be influ
enced either by sympathy with the object of
his "respect, esteem, and friendship," or by
fear of him, aud must be, therefore, either a
scoundrel or a coward, h is offense is venial
indeed compared to that of a clergyman
who does the same thing. That in the
secular is but a dirty action which in the
sacred is flat blasphemy. It is the business
of the clergyman to point out, by pre
cept and by example, the difference be
tween good and evil, as displayed in
actions and as incarnated in men. As it is
his duty to recognize and honor virtue, it is
his correlative duty to denounce and abhor
vice. He makes no war upon flesh and
blood, but upon principalities, upon powers,
upon spiritual wickedness in high places.
What kind of fight can a teacher of morals
make who comes to enforce their duties to his
flock with lips which have just bandied com
- pliinents with tho incarnate quintessence of
spiritual wickedness in high places, and with
fingers which have been polluted by the em
brace of a felon. Obviously, the words of
such a man are worthless. lie cannet hate
vice after he has endured, pitied, and em
braced it. He cannot denounce any sort of
crime, with any chance of being listened to,
after he has joined in doing honor to a wretch
who is black with every sort of crime.
Doctor Chapin, we believe, has, to his own
satisfaction, abolished hell. His substitute
for it is the penalty which he conceives a sin
ner pays in this life for his sins. He ought
at least, if there is to be no future compensa
tion for the inequalities of this life, to do hia
part towards making the burden of a saint
light and the yoke of a sinner heavy. We
never heard of him getting up "receptions"
to struggling virtue. We have seen him
doing honor to prosperous vice. It is now a
piece of brazen impudence in him to pretend
to speak, as one having authority, concern
ing the conduct of any man or any set of
men.
HIE VIRGINIA ELECTION NOT YET
OUT OF THE WOODS.
From the N. Y. Beralti.
The results of .the late Virginia election are
So very extraordinary as to create the suspi
cion of a bold political game not yet dU-
closed. The successful conservative candi
date for Governor, G. C. Walker, is a North
ern man, and was put in the field by the
moderate Republicans against Wells, the ultra
radical, test oath, and liebel disfranchising
candidate. Otherwise the two men and the
two parties occupied substantially the same
ground for the constitution, adopted by a
radical State convention; for negro political
equality, including several negro conserva
tives elected to tho Legislature, and for the
fifteenth amendment of the Federal Constitu
tion establishing universal negro suffrage,
with the power to Congress to enforce it in
every State.
Now the question arises, have these negro
equality doctrines, these radical changes from
the Democratic creed of negro inferiority and
subordination, been honestly accepted by the
lrgima Democracy in their support of the
Walker ticket and tho moderate Republican
Taction in this Virginia election? If so, the
conversion of these Virginia Democrats to the
liew dispensation is only second as a miracle
to the miraculous conversion of St. Paul on
Ins way to Damascus. Th Virginia Demo
cratic politicians are of the old Southern State

was the Southern Rebellion, will follow Vir
ginia in all the other Southern Statei; anl
then the Northern Democracy, to recover thn
Southern balance of power, will be compelled
lo go Die same way.
We have something of a leaning in this di
rection in (he nomination of General ltose
craim as tho Democratic candidate for Gover
nor of Ohio, although the Ohio Democracy
swear they will never consent to this fifteenth
negro amendment, never. They are far be
hind the Virginia Democracy, then, unless tho
Virginians may be considered as playing a
double game. If they could fight off this
new State constitution by legislative strategy
till 1870, when a new Congress is to bo cloctod,
they might hope, with the new Congros, for
A great change to their advantage in that de
partment of the General Government. Now
tho Virginians may do this. They have only
to make their work distasteful to Congress in
order to have it rejected, and thus they may
go on till 1H70 in the hope that then there tniy
be a Democratic majority in Congress which
will make everything right. It is only upon
such theory that we can account for the
astonishing concessions of negro equality by
the Virginia Democrats iu their late election.
Upon its face they have gainod a great vic
tory, but what it means has still to be re
vealed. There is a mystery about it, and we
fear there is mischief in it to all concerned.
THE EMPEROR'S NEW PROGRAMME.
From the X. Y. World.
The Emperor Napoleon's promised reforms
have come in the shape of a message which is
itself a reform, yet which may very well de
feat altogether tho reforms it proposes. If
this sentence has a slightly enigmatical sound,
that is no fault of ours. Enigmas are the
delight of the imperial mind, and they may
fitly be used in describing its work.
But our enigma is only in appearauce an
enigma. Instead of establishing by an im
perial decree a new order of things in tho
relations between the ministry of the French
crown and the representatives of the French
people, the Emperor has thrown upon the
latter the responsibility of establishing that
new order themselves. Ho recently caused
M. Rouher to submit to tho Legislative Body
a programme which, if it be adopted by that
body, will practically amount to making the
ministerial teuuro of office dependent in
France, as it is in England though clearly
not to the same extent as in England upon
the will of the Legislative Iiody. Whether
the actual majority of the French Legislative
Body will be favorably inclined to snch a
magnifying of their functions, and, with their
functions, of their responsibility, may, how
ever, be doubted. It is a general rule of his
tory that legislative bodies are disposed to
enlarge their own power. But it is
one of tho general rules which are
illustrated by notable exceptions; and no
one can have carefully considered the
actual state of things in France, it seems to
us, without convincing himself that the
French Legislature of the d ty may very well
prove to be one of these same exceptions. A
very large proportion of tho members of the
working majority in that body are men who
have avowedly little faith in parliamentary
government. Many of them are well aware
that, in such a revival of real political life in
France as must follow the delivering over of
questions of the public finance to free discus
sion and to effective decision by the Legisla
tive Body, their own chances of retaining
their places in public life would be small in
deed. Some of them probably will doubt the
sincerity of the Emperor's desire for the
adoption of tins' new system, and, on that
account, will oppose it; while others, and, we
suspect, a still larger number, will do the
same thing for precisely the opposite reason,
and because they fear to see the Emperor
commit himself frankly to a genuine and pro
gressive liberal policy.
The fact that this new programme is laid
before the Legislature and the empire by M.
Rouher, and that no changes have yet taken
place in the French Cabinet, pretty plainly
indicates that the Minister of State, at least,
by no moans regards its adoption as a fore
gone conclusion. It is not easy to believe
that M. Rouher can be seriously expected by
the Emperor, even if he were for his own
part disposed, to carry on tho Government of
1" ranee under conditions bucq as would be
made for him by the establishment of a genu
ine ministerial responsibility.
me presentation ol the programme, now-
ever, and the discussions to which it must
lead, both in the Legislature and in the press,
will undoubtedly evoke the true political feel
ings and wishes of the French people as they
have not for years been evoked. This, at
least, should be a real and an unmixed good,
if any good in human affairs ever can be un
mixed: and the 12th of July, lu!, bids fair
to be chronicled in the French history of our
times as one of its most significant, interest'
iiig and decisive days.
GENERAL HANCOCK AND HIS "EXILE."
from the iV. 1'. Times.
Not long ago, when, upon the reduction and
reorganization of the army, new assignments
were made in conmianus, tne uemocraiio
turners raised a great ontcry that General
Hancock had been "exiled by tne new ad
ministration; and, accordingly, o were all
called upon to indulge our indignation against
a "petty malignity," as it was called, which,
fearing future rivalry, had "induced President
Grant to banish his subordinate to a distant
region, far from the natural reach or political
preferment." We were all accordingly heat-
mc up our indignation, as per request, when,
just short of the boiling point, it occurred to
us to inquire "to irhat region" was General
Hancock thus "maliunuutly exiled tor
"exile" was the word. Was it altogether out
of the country, or was his but a metaphorical
"pxile" to some noint within the country;
and, in the latter case, was it to Alaska, or
to Arizona, or to the Dry Tortugas? To none
of these, as it soon appeared. Our sym
pathy had been demanded for Hancock, and
our execration for the "malignant" Grant,
because the former was sent to St. I'aul,
Minnesota
Yes, that is the place, the desolate, un
healthy, uninhabited region, whereto this
unfortunate officer was "banished" by a
"jealous administration." But their cruelty
and machinations were, it seems, unavailing,
for, so far from his being "out of reach of
political preferment," the Pennsylvania poli
ticians are all ufter Hancock to nominate him
as Governor of Pennsylvania. Upon the
whole, therefore, we are not moved to much
indignation by the supposed obscurity and
hopelessness of tho banishment to Min
nesota. And the joke of the thing is that General
Hancock is said to be reluctant to accept the
nomination. Tho exile of St. Paul abso
lutely clings to his "exilo," and finds banish
ment to be a pretty good ming. Jlo not
only does not feel ' indignant, does not be
moan his lot as the World did, but actually, if
we may believe report, prefers it to being
Governor of the grout State of Pennsylvania,
not to speak of the stepping-stone to tho next 1
Presidency 1 The St. Paul l'ionccr say thit,
from conversations with members of the Gen
eral s staff, it has been led to believe that he
will decline the nmninml nnminlin if
offered. Not that he doubts the chatioe of
Ins election, or would hesitate to "nuke
the sacrifice asked of him," but thit
he thinks other candidates are
plenty, while he can be "left
to the great duties of his profession and his
present place." So snya the l'ioneer: where
upon we inquire of ourselves what sort of an
"exile nnd an "oblivion can that bo whose
duties are not only very important, but so agree -
aiiie mat to exciiange them for those of Gov
ernor of rennsylvania would boa "sionnse?
We are forced to conclude that, despite the
late Democratic lamontations over General
Hancock's untimely fate, he can manago,
with his fine pfnxigvc and robust health and
comfortable Major-Geuoral.s, income to sup
port even the exile to St. Paul, considering
that the climate there is the most equable
nnd delicious in the country, the society good
all the year round, aud "banishment" some
thing like being sent off from Harrisburi? to
Saratoga.
LORDS AND COMMONS THE THREAT
ENED CONFLICT.
From the A'. K. Times.
Neither the Gladstone Cabinet nor tho
people of Englaud has lost any time in
making a nriu stand against tho attempt of
the Ixirds to override the reiterated verdict of
the House of Commons with regard to the
disendowment of the Irish Church. A special
Cabinet Council has been held, in order to
determine upon the line of action to be
11. j i j1 1 1 i i i 1, .
iukcu, uuu it was nuaity ueciuou mat tne
more important amendments made in tho
bill should be strenuously opposed in the
House ol Uommons. According to the ordi
nary course of procedure in such cases, tho
bill will be returned to tho lower house for
consideration of tho Lords' amendments, and
divisions will be taken probably without
mucn debate as to whether that house will
accept them or insist upon retaining tho
original clauses in their integrity. There
can be little doubt as to tho result, now
that the Ministerial policy has been decided
upon. Lords Clarendon, Granville, and Har-
tington, representatives of the old aristocra
tic Whig element in the Cabinet, are said to
have counselled a compromise, but they were
overruled by tho majority. They could un
doubtedly influence, if so minded, a large
section of the Liberal party, but they .are
pretty certain to acquiesce iu the policy re
solved upon by their colleagues rather than
endanger a schism in their party, more espu
cially as meu like the High Church Lord
Hatherly and the powerful Duko of Argyll
are on the side of tho Commons, as well as
Mr. Gladstone and the radical John Bright.
The proposal to retain the original disendow
ment clauses will be supported by fie whole
strength of the Ministerialists, and ho v. ill bo
a bold peer who dares to move that tho upper
nouse should insist on its amendments.
There will be a conflict, beyond a question.
but we do not anticipate that it will either be
prolonged or serious. The peers cannot
vield without makinc a hIiow of rnHisfnnnn.
but if the Commons act with firmness, and
yet without any unnecessary violence, they
will have the opportunity of yielding grace
fully nnd without in any way compromising
their dignity. 1 hey possibly may nominally
insist on their amendments in order to bring
about a conlereuce between the two houses.
in which they can abandon their position ac
cording to formal constitutional etiquette; but
that will be all. There is no real occasion for
popular ngitation. . Every successive triumph
of popular principles in the House of Com
mons, aristocratic as its composition still is,
tends at once to increase the solid power of
the chamber, and consequently to moderate
the popular feeling against the upper house.
The Lords must yield if the Commons are
firm, and although there may be some little
outdoor clamor, both the Commons and the
Liberal party at largo are now too well assured
of their power, and an easy triumph for their
measures, to care about unnecessarily humili
ating them if they only have tho wisdom to
yield with a good grace.
TnE SJ2NGERFEST.
Frtm the A'. I". Tribune.
The festival of German singing societies
which is making Baltimore merry and melo
dious gives an excellent illustration of the
capacity of our adopted fellow-citizens for in
nocent enjoyment, and we should be glad if
native-born Americans could taKe a little
inspiration from it. Here are some thousands
of people from all tne ISortn-eastern, or ratlier
the Middle States, who make of tho peri
odical contests of proficiency between rival
chorus societies, festivals hardly loss joyous
and hardly less important than the old tour
naments of the Jongleurs and Minnesingers.
For a week they cast aside the cares of busi
ness and the worry of money-getting, and
give themselves up to such simple pleasures
as the chanting of fine songs, the parading of
gay processions, and the cultivation of social
intercourse. Perhaps the beer-cup foams too
often; but it is characteristic of the German
pleasure-seeker that he rarely goes for a day's
"outing" unaccompanied by his wife and chil
dren, and so the wildest of junketings are
more or less restrained by domestio influ
ences. At any rate, where musio is the staple
of the feast, decorum cannot be altogether
forgotten.
We are always glad to welcome those peri
odical gatherings; and wish there were more
of them. The recent experiment in Boston,
there is some reason to hope, may result in
the development among Americans of a better
talent for having a good time than they have
ever before displayed, and enable us to wit
ness singing festivals which shall be really na
tional in their character, and unite all our
people in a general celebration. In Boston,
perhaps, such occasions are rather too solemn;
but that is a fault which wo can easily cor
rect. Already the good seed which the jubi
lee and the Germans have both sown soems to
bo taking root. Boston purposes to perpe
tuate the grand chorus by uniting it in a great
permanent national organization which may
serve as tho parent of regular monthly, an
nual, nnd centennial jubilees all over the
western hemisphere. The New York Fhil
harmopio Society promises to have a grand
celebration of some kind in this city next
year. Both plans are good, and both promise
success. In them we see the prospect of a
better appreciation of the great duty of giving
up a few days now and Ihen to rational en
joyment, and the great importance of play as
a preparation for work.
FUTURE TARTY ASCENDANCY THE
NEGRO ELEMENT AND THE VIRGI
NIA ELECTION.
From the N. Y. Sun.
Tho negro voters of Virginia, by dividing
thoir suffrages between the Republican and
Democratic parties, have shown an independ
ence and sagacity which voters of all colors
everywhere would do well to emulate. There
is no sound or fundamental reason either in
politics or philosophy why negroes more than I
whites should all belong to one party. Men's
political affinities arise from causes which lie
deeper than the color of their skins. The
structure of one's cranium, his mental charac
teristics, his early education, the strength of his
prejudices, the society ho keeps, and, quite as
much as either and perhaps all of these, his
real or supposed interests, have far more to
do with determining the political party with
which he shall identify his fortunes, than any
mere accidental or adventitious ciroumstance
like the hue of the complexion or the texture
of the hair.
Other things being equal, then, it would
be quite unnatural and contrary to precodont
for the entire mass of negroes reoently ad
mitted to the ballot-box in the South, and
that comparatively insignificant number who
will soon have access to it in the North Under
tho operation of the fifteenth amendment, to
join the Republican party. Moreover, this
would be not only unnatural and unprece
dented, but it would be to the last degree
unwiso and inexpedient for them to so act as
to make their firm and indisputable retention
of the right of suffrage to depend upon tho
permanent ascendancy of either of the great
parties of the country. The conduct of an in
fluential portion of the Virginia negroes in the
recent election shows that they clearly com
prehend the force of these vital truths.
But negToes are men; and it depends quite
as much upon the Democratic party as upon
tho enfranchised negroes themselves whether
the former shall hereafter and ' throughout
the entire Union win to their standard so
much of the colored vote as to enable the
Democracy and their white allies to carry all
the Southern States in the groat contests be
fore them as triumphantly as they have just
carried Virginia, and thereby overthrow the
Republican ascendancy in 1872. The result
in Virginia has placed the Democracy on trial.
They can bo act as to repel the whole negro
vote, or they can retain a fair share of it.
This humble class of citizens are not bur
dened with an amplitude of book-learning, but
they are endowed with a keenness of instinct
that enables them to discover their friends
with unerring certainty. For the peace of the
country it is to be hoped that they will find it
for their interest todivide their suffrages be
tween the two great parties.
