The 7WAfnihaa amuserl itsolf aniens lately by fiorco vindication of the dignity of the press, ant! loud denunciation of those journals which detailed the movement! of public men. The too oreduloua readers of that journal ao ceptcd thia as the real reason why the Tribune was bo far behind its iicigUord upon these matters. But the wiser mind knew fall well that it wan not a voluntary abstention, but an in voluntary incapability, which hindered these things from being related in those columns, and that beyond the domain of Jenkins, in the realm of politics and of thingi in general, it refrained from giving the news of the day with quite as serene an indifference as that with which it turned its austere gaze away from the down-sittings and the rip-risings of famous sojourners. When Prince Arthur came, however, the Tribune had an inspiration of enterprise come upon it, and it determined to report him. liut here it acknowledged a divided duty. It yearned to reconcile its duty to the pnblio with its duty to its own Consistency. If it told the sews, it would not be beaten, to be sure, but its enemies would revile it, saying, 'Go to, now. how is this Tribune fallen into the snare which it hath privily digged for another." If it did not give the news, it would not be bonght. Here was a dilemma. But the ingenuity of the Tribune was equal te the occasion, and it took the British Bull Ly both horns. De Quinoey tells of a certain peripatetio philosopher, "Walking Stewart" by title, who spent half a century in MmAtanhtiaiMtinM A -n inr.il erv at a ova rt ' Similarly the Tribune has been devoting its vast powers to Jenkinsizing Jenkins. Its method is peculiar and funny. What things concerning the eoming of the Prince it deemed "dignified" to relate were related as by its own reporter", speaking as one having authority, and not as the scribes of other journals. But there remained a residuum of things which the Tribune considered were necessary to be told, and which could not be told by the Tribune with "dignity." Conu munia proprie dicere was acknowledged to be one of the chief difficulties of composition by Horatio Flaccus; but it presents no diffi culty at all to Iloratius Greeley. After the regular reporter has had his say, he erects a hypothetical reporter of another and anony mous journal upon his ruins, and lets him tell the rest. "A youug person," we are told, "who was said to represent a provin cial paper, button-holed the pro prietor, who listened impatiently to his ques tionings," and so indirectly imparted in answer thereto ' the information for which the readers of the Tribune were supposed to be fa limbing, but which the Tribune itself would rather perish than supply. Out of the mouth of thin hypothetical babe and suckling the Prince's praises and the Prince's privacies could be innocuously sung, and thereby the Tribune save its credit and its cake. This is an interesting procedure, and not least so in that it .given us the Tribune's notion of what is and what is not befitting the dignity of journalism. "Do you know," said the bland and confiding Pecksniff, in that hour of his shame and his intoxication when unavailing efforts were repeatedly made to put him to bed, but when he persis ted in bouncing out of that receptacle and indulging oratorical flights over the balustrade "do you know 1 would really like to Bee Mrs. Todgers' notion of a wooden leg, if perfectly agreeable to herself. That spectacle has never been vouchsafed to man kind. But it is scarcely less interesting to contemplate the Tribune's notion of a wooden head, when that intellectual treat is offered, not only agreeably but even nnoonsciously, to the journal exhibiting it. It is, it seems, quite proper for the 'Inbunes reporter to relate that the Prince broke fast on "raw oysters, cold chops, and hot coffee." But that his raiment should be described in the Baine detail as his diet is a thing "most tola table and not to be endured." When it comes to this a" 'Tribune reporter draws the veil of decency, and rests in the safe generality of "a plain, unpretending travelling suit." A Tribune reporter may, without derogation of his "dignity," inform us that "the large win dows in the car he occupied furnished ample facility for seeing his whole figure as he sat, (seemingly deeply engrossed in his book, his face partially averted, though not suflL. cient (sic) to screen it." But no Tribune reporter can in his own person descend to the degrading drudgery of enumerating his luggage. At this point enter John Doe, that the trunks and boxes may Keein to be vioariously counted. This jour nalistic fiction, like the legal fiction of the same name, is a most convenient scapegoat. To him, and not by any means to the Tribune reporter, are we indebted for the soothing consciousness that there were "three black tin boxes, and a bundle of silk umbrellas with paragon frames," "hat boxes of every size and shape;" that John Doe, and not on any ac count the 2'ribune reporter, "did not fail to note the splendid material of the sole-leather trunks;" and that there was (and here the rural readers of the Tribune are expected to bate their breath) an actual "fifty dollar valise." This is really too bad. "If we like sherry wine," said the honest deacon to whom the dishonest ditto made hygienic and hypocritioal excuses for partaking that beverage, "let us drink sherry wine. But let us not lie about it." If the Tribune likes to do Jenkins, let it do him. If it likes to denounce Jenkins, lot it denounce him. But lot it not invent an ostensibly extraneous Jenkins to tell what was seen by the eyes of its own Jenkins. Let it not doubly humiliate that functionary by first setting him to do wnat it considers dirty work, and then pretending to was.li its hands of his work and him. But the Tribune's nonsense is harmless compared with the Bun. Of course, this lat ter paper does not pretend to decency. But the glaring indecency of its conduct in this matter is such as forces every decent news paper to denounce it. An entirely inoffen sive young gentleman of illustrious birth, who visits this city in an entirely unobtrusive way, oucht to be eeoure, one would think, from abuse at least. He has done absolutely nothing to deserve auy censure from any body. He has behaved himself, so far as has appeared, with entire propriety. To be sure, he is the son of a queen. But, at worst, that is his misfortune. It cannot be held to . be his fault. Yet, for no other oonceivable reason than this, the Sun heads' its account of his arrival "A Royal Snob," and por sistently reiterates this epithet throughout its account. Is it a greater offense to be a nrince. or to throw mud at a prince merely for being one? If the conduct of Prince Arthur Le the effect of hieh birth and hi h breeding, and that of the Hun the effect of low birth and low breeding, who can heiiUto to prefer the former 'C .1 When Bir Barnett Skittles encountered poor little Mr. Baps at Dr. Blimbor's half yearly reception, where the hour was half past seven o'clock, and where the object was quadrilles, and when Mr. Baps, with a look of nnfathomable profundity, inquired of him, "What are we to do with our raw materials when they come into port in return for our drain of gold ?" the great man explained his theory vilh admirable succinctness. - "But suppose," pursued Mr. Baps, out of a deeper tlepth of financial intelligence, "suppose Russia steps in with the tallows?" Sir Bar nett, not having contemplated the situation in the light of Russia's tallow, complacently responded that then wo must fall back upon our agricultural resources, he supposod. But hearing Mr. Baps, immediately after, asking "What are we to do with our raw materials when they come into port in return for our drain of gold?" of Mr. (loots (who responded "Cook 'em"), the distinguished Parliamenta rian was moved to say to Dr. Blimber that Mr. Baps was plainly a remarkable man, a man of science, a man of figures. Where upon Dr. Blimber was driven depreoatingly to admit that he was indeed a man of figures "in short, Sir Barnett, our professor of dancing!" .Whereupon, again, Sir Barnett glowered at the wretched conspirator for the rest of the evening aa if he had been Guy Fawkes himself. This apologue has frequently commended itself to us, but never so forcibly as when we heard, some weeks ago, of the advent of two young women in Wall street as stock opera tors. Two professors of figures trying to find out what we should do with oar raw mate rials, Toots' of imbecility at every corner, Skittles of society in every window, to re mind them of their dancing days, and sneer down their aspirations ! After all, there was nothing really to surprise one. Boadioea in tier chariot driving over the slain, Mrs. Wood hull in her coupe following the rise or the ruin of speculations in both behold the feminine thirst for power and glory at the expense of somebody else! Not that we object. But we are forever getting new light on the actual woman, and finding out how different she is from the ideal woman in whom the world has believed, as a churchman in the Virgin, for unnum bered years. What gracious illusions we lose by the illumination we will not here pause to consider. We certainly make some gains. It is proved that the actual woman, for instance, has capacities for sound and fury, unpleasant in themselves, but signify ing a superfluity of energy seeking some sufficient use. It is proved that she has great ingenuity in transferring the pence of -the money-making sex to her own coffers, as wit ness the feminine we had almost written the diabolical arts of the churity-fair and charity-ball and chaiity-ralllo business. It is proved that she has a genius for managing men, as witness the daily history of every household. Now, all these unmistakable talents being misapplied, great waste and dis comfort ensue. We huvo conventions, ba zaars for comatose churches, domestic differ ences as a result. The matches are laid away for safe keeping and handiness in the powder keg. Every woman who finds an interesting, secure, and honest vocation is enabled thus to provide a safe for the matches and a vault for the powder-keg. The enterprising firm of Woodhull, Claflin & Co. having, if we may say so, skirmished along the line for some months, proposes to enter the numerous and preternaturally active army of Wall street operators, with the cry of "a fair fight and no quarter." The young women who compose it, sharp, confident, daring, cautious, determined, instant in sea son and out of season, with the argot of "the street" familiar as their mother tongue, and the portents of the financial sky clear as the Great Dipper, certainly come full armed to the encounter. The men who occupy the field will probably give them a civil wel come, and no help, in Wall street every man is for himself and the devil for the hind most. But these ladies do not intend to be hindmost, and if they are, they confess by their defeat that they have deserved the penalty. We are especially glad to notioe this ven ture. We do not believe that the genius of women is financial, or that Messrs. Woodhull and Company are likely to have many com petitors among their own sex. But we are so deafened with demands for the unrestricted activities of women, so pestered with claims for the ballot and for office, that it is pleasant to see a woman do an unexpected and lmnor tant thine without iteration and reiteration of herrichtto doit, and of the injustice, the tyranny of society in withholding her. II Woodhull, (Jlamn & Co. eclipse the reputa tion of Jay Cooke & Co., or even if they maintain a firm, reputable, and prosperous place among other business houses, they will have done more to enforce respect for the business capacity of women than all the windy suspirations of forced breath that have echoed in the walls of all the conventicles where woman's wrongs have been rehearsed and woman's rights demanded, the last twelve month. If they do not ! Admirable jour nalists, dootors, poets, artists, musicians, lee turers, astronomers, bookkeepers, directors of large establishments, have appeared among women and made themselves a worthy name. We have always welcomed them. Ability, determination, perseverance . and courage Rbail have honor of us always. It is only pro fane and vain babblings from which we stop our ears. "When a boy has learned that bottiney means a knowledge of plants," said the excel lent Mr. Squeers, "( foes and knows 'em. We commend his philosophy to the attention of tho Woman s Bights Association and the editors of the Revolution. THE CONGRESSIONAL TREATMENT OF VIRGINIA, front the y. Y. Times. The trials and tribulations of v lrgima in its effort to regain admission to tho Union do not add to the glory of the reconstruction policy. Their injustice ' ii equalled only by their cruelty their harshness only by their folly. The State long ago asked to be re stored, and laws were on the statute-book providing for its restoration. But Gongrosa withheld the necessary means, and the dis trict commander was powerless in the pre mises. Then the delay for which Congress alone was responsible was made the pretext for fresh and stern conditions. These were modified at the instance of General Grant. and at the earliest practicable moment the State complied with the requirements of the Reconstruction acts. It ratified a Constitution confessedly "republican in form" and spirit, elected an Exeoutive whose record as a Unionist will bear the strictest investigation, and a Legislature so moderate in its tone that acaroely a single member will suffer from the enforcement of the test supplied by the fourteenth amend ment. The organization of the Legislature proceeded under an interpretation of the law rendered by Attorney-Uoneral Jtoar, and pre viously sanctioned iu the case of South Caro THE NEW TENTH E3ILEA. fi-rm ths S. r. Tribune . line and other restored States. The Repre sentatives and Senators elect are, as a whole, unobjectionable. And, to complete the story and remove the sole conceivable source ot op position, ex-Governor Wells, the radioal can didate in the canvass, declared hiraxolf favor able to the . admission of the State without loss of time. The declaration was honoiabla to him as a man and croditable to his sagacity as a politician. Had Congress been wise, it would in those circumstance have interposed no obstacle whatever to the admission of the State. The President recommended admission, 'and prompt compliance would have been followed by the happiest results. Instead of that, however, we havo witnessed a prolonged, vex atious, unjust, and wanton attempt to reopen the question, and subject the State to tests and torture invented tor the occasion, uooa faith diotated admission; the State had ful filled every requirement and was entitled to demand the promised privileges. But a vin dictive and violent partisanship ha sought to trample on the plighted faith of Congress, and to impose conditions for which there is not the slightest justification. The House remembered its obligations and did what it could to fulhl them, it adopted a measure providing for the unconditional re storation of the State. But the Senate, in obedience to impulses which have done muoh to weaken its hold upon the respect of the country, nurtured all manner of schemes for keeping the State out of the Union. Con trivances were invented tor taking the attain of the State out of the hands of its people, and placing them nnder the control of a few worthless adventurers. The aim of the ex tremists seemed to be, not to restore the Union, but to make reconstruction impossi ble. They proposed to enforce the test oath in defiance of the national sentiment, which is against it everywhere. They suggested conditions which have no warrant in the temper of the people or the circum stances of the State, whose general charac teristics in respect of law and order are as favorable as those of Massachusetts or New York. They endeavored, in a word, to re pudiate a solemn contract, to reopen contro versies which the law had settled, and to assert pretensions that would render the whole work of reconstruction a fraud and a farce. Fortunately, calmer, wiser, more honorable counsels prevailod. And though the simple act of recognition which the House had sanctioned was not adopted in the original shape, the privosos which have been added really amount to very little. They are ungenerous, perhaps olienaive, but there is nothing in them that need further hinder ad- minion, or that should entail upon Virginia any serious inconvenience. The President is right, then, when he ad vises the more tolerant Republicans of the House to accept the bill as it goes back from the Senate. There are mischief makers in the House who want but the opportunity to undo w hat has been done, and to consummate the evil begun in the Senate. These mon would revive the thumbscrew if they dare. The spirit which animates them in other days sanctioned the rack and the faggot. It is im portant that no chance be given them for the attainment of their purpose. The uncondi tional admission of Virginia would be most proper. But that being clearly impracticable, the Senate bill in its present shape is prefer able to more delay. Let the matter be ended at once if possible. Mississippi will come next, and by and by Texas. Are they also to experience the tor ture which Virginia has endured? THE LATE GOLD COilNER. from the N. Y. Urrald. That disastrous "black Friday" to tho Wall street bull ring on their gold corner, and the parlies concerned in blowing up tne bubble, are undergoing at Washington a Congressional investigation. Un baturday last Uonld ana Fink, ot the Ji,ne Uompanv, were beiore tne inquisatorial committee, and the substance of their testimony is that their grand experiment was made np of moonsnine ana green cneese. Gould, it appears, after a mature considera tion of the subject, gave it as his opinion that all efforts to link the name of the President or Secretary of the Treasury with said gold corner were malicious fabrications; that he believed neither of those officers knew what was going on in wall street in tne running up of that rascally corner. f isk, nowever, wno appears to nave been the head devil of the ring, had his own story to tell. In September last the Erie Road was hard up it was out of everything and was losing money, lie saw a chance ot making a raise on goiu, ana ne resoivea to go in. Gould seconded the motion, for he iad seen Gorbin, and gave Fisk a letter to Gorbin, and that Fisk, after a full consultation or two with Corbin, was assured that he (Uorbrn; was all right behind the throne. Then there were more conferences with Corbin; and Fisk naively says that while talking with Corbin he felt all right; "but as soon as he was away from kirn he did not feel so brave, and found himself getting shaky. At last, to remove all doubtn, that special messenger uhapin was sent with a letter to the President, then at Washington, in Western Pennsylvania; and with (Jhapin s despatch that tue latter naa been delivered and was "all right," the matter was clinched. The running of the gold corner and the grand smash-up, with that famous order from the Treasury Department to "sell four millions," rapidly followed, when Fisk, as he informed the committee, thought it was about time to gQ round and see that d d old fool. Corbin." It seems, however, that Corbin. with his cock-and-bull stories of let ters from Mrs. Grant, and of his intention to go right on to Washington and make it all right with the President, still managed to pull the wool over the eyes of Fisk and fooled him as a Peter Funk fools a green country gosling. Fisk, moreover, thought that he had been be trayed by Butterfield. In short, from the reports of his testimony, Fiak is still as muoh befocoed and muddled as he was with the collapse of Corbin and his bubble on that fatal "black Friday." Corbin is the man whose testimony, if truly given, will clear np this business. But where is Corbin ? When last heard from he was out in Kentucky, reported sick. Since then, we hear, his whereabouts cannot be learned. It is probable, too, that he may not turn up until this investigation is closed; and as it is apparent that, as the President's brother-in-law. be made miuseii tne conve nient instrument of the gold speculators in their scandalous, perilous, and disastrous ven- ture of tJeptember last, regardless of truth, honor, and decorum, it would porhaps be as well for him never to show bis face again, except as a criminal who, from point to point, carefully feels his way into obscurity ana xor- getfulness.
