2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEQI.APll PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1870. sriniT or run muss. Editorial Opinions of th. I-enrilna- Joiir.rils I'pon ('nrrrnt Tapir Compiled Kverv Day lor the evening Telnarn.pt-. INTERVIEWEES Virni thf X. Y. Time. It is rather dismal to think tlmt therein, after all, nothing new under the min, but it in greatly to bo feared thnt it 1h true. When l'remdeut Lincoln was informed by an inter viewer of tho period that ono of his Gonerals took too much shiaky, he archly expressed the winn that somebody would Rend a barrel ff the same sort to divers other of the com manders. We all hoped that the witticism was original, lint, alas, Charles II had said Bomething very like it before. Drydcn tells jis, apropos of his indecent play of Evening Lore, the plot of which he took from Calde ron, that some one aoensed him to the King of plagiarism, but that the monarch "only desired that they who accused me of theft would always steal him plays like mine." We fear, too, that the "interviewers" have been beard of before, and that, like many words and phraaos branded by some of oar English cousins as "Americanisms," but which are lo be found even in Buch well-known pages B8 those of Shakespeare and Chancer, inter viewing is no thing of modern growth, but claims the reverence due to antiquity. Whan we say that two of our Lite Presi dents were killed by interviewers, we are apt to think that great men were never before slain by such a cause, and that the cases of Harrison and Taylor are unique in history, liut probably Alexander the Great saw his convivial interviewers too often, and there is not the least doubt that the interview of E. i. riaminias with the King of Iiithynia was Ihe immediate occasion of the death of Han nibal. The universal practice of interviewing t Home furnished a plausible opportunity for the assassination of Julius Cti'sar; . and, to come down to more modern times, it is be yond peradventuxe that the interviews of Sir Hudson Lowe hastened the death of the Great Napoleon. The truth is that history and tradition are packed with instances of the mischief wrought by this prying class, and that from the days when that luckless nuiri sage of a Menelaus went to Crete, leaving bis Helen to the passionate assaults of Par's, down to oar modern era, when the same thing happens every day and is chronicled in the newspapers, interviewing bos existed as an art more or less fine, and probably will do so until the end of the chap ter. There are, however, periods of action and reaction, of rise and decline, in this as in other arts, which are brought about by various accidental or providential circum stances. Thus, after the interview of Mar eyas with Apollo, or that of the eager day god with the lovely Acantho, we can readily understand how interviewing went out of fashion for a time among the Greeks. A later instance was that of poor Willis who perhaps deserves to be styled the first great American interviewer whose experience was almost as discouraging for disciples in the art. The memory of catastrophes like these dies out, however, in time; the beauties and joys of interviewing again loom up to dazzle the imagination, and an era comes, as among ourselves to-day, when the delightful old cus tom blossoms like the rose. The cardinal principle of interviewing is, of course, that no man has a right to his own time. He may have a right to his own coat, dinner, or horse, which take time to earn, but these are clearly very different things. It is plain that idle or imprudent curiosity, or a desire for self-aggrandizement at the expense of others, warrants any species of intrusion at all hours and places, and that only absurd fastidiousness will object to it. The ridi culous old custom of sending up cards im plying the right of accepting or declining visit on the part of the recipient is, of lourse, exploded by the triumph of this prin tiple. There are other coterminous prin ciples but this is the basio and immutable tine. Its sense and significance can be abun dantly illustrated. None can dispute that it is of more consennenoe that public men should devote their hours to defining their nosition to half-drunken reporters, to the end of satisfying prurient inquisitive ness than that those hours should be devoted to the nnblio service. Equally manifest is it to compare great things with small that authors and artists and their agents should consume without introduction the moments of the journalist who criticizes their work. Their own opinions of the latter are obvi ously of so much more consequence than those of a distinterested observer, and it is of so much greater moment for public in formation that the former views should be promulgated than the latter, that the delicacy and propriety of this custom cannot for an instant be questioned. These instances are fairly typical of a host of others. So long as morbid curiosity or short-sighted selfishness can be gratified in a Liee country it would be ungraceful as well as inconvenient to attempt opposition. Besides, opposition brings its punishment. It is true that the mud thrown by the inter viewers brushes off easily when dry. But who likes to be pelted for all that? More over we should remember that although the interviewers collect much dirt, they occa sionally gather in something bright and pre cious as well. They go about, indeed, like the suite of the first Russian Ambassador painted by Macaulay, who says they swept through the London ballrooms dropping pearls and lice. Let us take the good and the bad together, since it is not given to our generation to enjoy them apart; and, so long as omnipotent public opinion tolerates the interviewers and their mediums, let us have patience and endure. LIBERTY ACCORDING TO TIIE GUIL LOTINE. From the Ni Y. Tribune. One of the political phenomena of the time was the grand banquet in Paris to celebrate the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI. Need we say that Gniseppe Mazzini wrote a letter to the assembled patriots of the guillotine, offering a tragio toast about Rome and ram? uariuaiai, too, represented nim self to these melodramatic liberals by th humane and decent sentiment: "JL.et us drown in blood the putrid catafalque of the desDotism of the priests." Rochefort must Lava sent his MartciMaue sentiment that the gallows and guillotine should be abolished except in the case of sovereigns. M. Louis lilano has apparently received just censure for writinn- to the same meetinc of blood- drinkers, though he redeems himself, we un derstandl by the faith that the dead return, and that murder is bad polioy. Each of these men has been at some time a nrofessed enemy of capital punishment, Each of them is a declared champion of the larcest liberty. Each of them believes in norne olan ' whereby the world's fortune can be distributed, so that the rich shall be "nwivt nj Poor richer. Most of them Ire as their sentiments express, men of fearce humanity, who would be cruel only to be kind. All of them have had to deal with I exasperating phases of monarchical oppres- aion, and we daro not lightly judge them. liut when Messrs. Garibaldi and Mazzini wrote their toasts to the deadly banquet in Paris, thoy helped to celebrate not only the drain of one weak man who, when he went to the guillotine, was for once the noblost be cause the most Christian man in France, but the bloody ontgushof torrent-like massacre of which this execution was tho awful source. They celebrated not only the death of King Louis, but of his wife and family; not only of princes, but of the people the vices of Mira beau, tho horrible audacity of Danton, tho reptile cruelty of Marat, tho fatal hoartloss- ness of Robespierre in short, all that makes intellectual men devils, and tho Pandemonium of the Ilrifn of Terror a favorite drama for a certain order of the French enthusiasts. They Rat down to feast on horrors, and might nave remembered that last night when the Giron dists supped together. Jiv suramins a point thev might have brought themselves round to celebrate the massacres of the coup d'etat; for murder is murder, whether done by king or Uemncoerue. 1 earful and wonderful, in some points or view, is the spirit which, after decades of un availing bloodshed, reioices in such an event as the first mardor. Perhaps it is right for :. . . . 7 ... . us, however, to accept the late politic convo cation of French worms over the memory of sad King Louis as in tho natural order of a Eeculiar train of events. It is natural, per aps, that great self-absorbed, all-absorbing monsters of personality should have grown like tumors on a country which has witnessed the hideous loosenoss of morals and disre spect of all persons shown in the days of the guillotine. It is natural for the country which had Robespierre to be punished with Napoleon, and for Napoleon to be stung with Rochefort. The worst commentary to be made on the perniciousness of the Empire seems to be that in this day of grace men calling themselves liberals assemble to feast over the natne of a poor blundering king who, after all, was less blundering than the scores of his executioners who perished miserably by the very instrument they erected whoso offense against France was slight compared to the crime of its present ruler, who may soon die, but will not soon resign or be killed. After nineteen years of probation, has France not outgrown the Reign of Terror ? Has Napoleon only been an educator of saint culottes and king-killers? Has he been training up executioners only to have it asked who shall put them to death in their turn ? A new French coricature represents Napo leon speaking to a ballot-girl who wears the liberty cap. Tho new revolution in France must oppose the idea of imperialism with something better than libertinism. The ex cesses of the guillotine, the saturnalias of terror, were the fruits of libertinism, and not liberty, carried out into the extreme of horror. Frenchmen are as able as other men, but they cannot sot riht their disjointed society by new dislocations. They have ter rible children among tnem, ready to do Tranpmann's work for liberty's sake in an age when there are plenty of generous people who hardly understand that liberty can be robbed for and butchered for like other selfish prizes, and that intellectual men can be fasci nated with great problems of revenge, and come to view conventional assassination as a necessity. M. Rochefort quotes Robespierre and Danton and Mirabeati are the apostles of the young students who in Belgium echoed Proudhon's teaching in a cry of "Down with God!" to have it caught up in Spain by a mad Republican, Suner de Capdevilla. It is plain that the liberty of the guillotine counts out one important element in the direction of human an airs the Almighty. GENERAL AMNESTY From the Richmond State Journal. The bill which passed Congress yesterday, and only lacks the signature of the President to become a law, includes the names of many of the first men of the State who have hitherto been in bitter hostility to the Gene ral Government. After having swallowed so huge a camel we cannot see the necessity of straining at gnats. Our own views are well known on this subject. We have been in favor of a general removal of disabilities from all the people of the South, although it would militate against both oar personal and political interests. The only difficulty in our mind was to discover the simplest method of accomplishing the end. the Constitution re quires personal application and it is doubt ful if there is any other way of getting over the difficulties which environ the question of universal amnesty, than by an amendment to the four teenth amendment wmcn snail striice out the disabling clause. Such an amend ment would have to be adopted by three. fourths of the votes, and the process would consequently be very slow. Personal appli cation is too troublesome to be thought of, for we mast recollect that it 1b not alone those who are disabled by the fourteenth amendment, but ninety-nine hundredths of the white inhabitants of the South, who are almost equally disabled by the test oath. A great many of those whose disabilities have been removed were men or tne latter class. This very large class could be restored to all their forfeited rights and privileges by a aim. pie law of Congress repealing the oath of office of 1 8Gi, popularly known as the test oath or ironclad. This oath, it seems to us, has accomplished all the good purposes that it was intended to accomplish, and has prevented all the evils that it was intended to provide it might now be repealed menfc to the publio good. against, and without detri Unscrupulous men have not been deterred, either by con science or publio opinion, from subscribing to it, when their interests stood in tne way; and it has, therefore, been of late years little more than a ban upon honest and conscien tious people in the South, to keep them out of offices and employments under the pro visional State and Federal Governments. Consequently, as it will only place the poor soldier of the Confederate Army, who held no office before the war, on the same footing with the leading politicians of Virginia who were . . i, , . . ; i; . . 1 r. 1- - i a restored to au tuoir political riguis yesieruuy, and give them an equal chance in the Fedoral offices, we say let the test oath be re pealed, and the humbler class be thus placed upon the same footing with the old office holders. Let us see how the tost oath operates: Mr. Raleigh T. Daniel was yesterday relieved of his political disabilities, which also relieves him from the Congressional test oath, which is required to be taken by all officers of the United States Government, whether in the North or the South, and all Senators and members of Congress, no matter where they were born or reside, and even though. they may have been in the United States army during the war. air. Daniel is now ruiiy re habilitated, and can be elected to Congress next fall and take his seat in that body, or he can be eleoted or appointed to any othwr office in the State or United States;, and. yet there ace 100,000 inea ia Virginia, any one of whom live or northern men Republicans than Mr, Daniel or Mr. Stuart, who cannot accept an office nndor the Federal Government, who cannot run againi Mr. Daniel for Congress or the honato, simply beoause they would not be able to sulikcribe to the test oath. Therefore, as matters now stand, tho very men whom Congress intended to punish are boing fnlly pardoned, whilo those it intendod to pardon are still undergoing punishment. The repeal of tho test oath would open up the 1 ederal ofllces to all who are not aisquaiiueu by the fourteenth amendment, and would furthflrmore rentier nerinrv unnecessary, n w ould be a favor granted to the real people of the South which they would fully reoognize and appreciate, as it would at onoe open up to them all tho avenues to preferment in the General Government, and so long as these arc closed we cannot expect much of that oiu love for the flag to return. Were it in our power, we would at once restore every nmu, woman, and child in tne soutn to every num. that has been forfeited, and thus show that we had forgotten and forgiven the past, by our willingness to trust them in the future. If, therefore, the disabilities or tne iour- teenth amendment cannot be removed by general law, why, then, at least, let the oath 1 . ..A.lrtJ Tt-of n if -n.-.11 -.! t of lAaaf if . -,x . .' ... ; . . i . be repealed. J.nat net win restore at least nine-tenths of our people to a position of equality in the Union. And then let tne old office-holders, who are disabled by the Con stitution, bide their time patiently, and await the pleasure of Congress. Ve make this appeal in behalf of the soldiers of the late Confederate army, who surrendered in good faith when the war closed, and who are anxious to take again to their hearts the flag of their fathers, but who feel that tney are held in distrust by the country, so long as they are deprived of an equal participation in the Government. REVEL. From the X. T. World. The sound of Revel which by night pre luded Waterloo bids fair to be repeated day and night in the Senate. The mud-colored Mississippi parson has been led to his seat in that august chamber, and his membership acknowledged by the united voices of his radical coadjutors. There is at last a "nigger in the national wood-pile," and no mistake. He did not come there because the citizens of the State which he assumes to represent wanted him. Capua would as soon have sent a Lestrygonian upon her embassies, or Achaia summoned a hairy Colchian amid her Am phyctions. Mississippi didn't want him, but he comes at the behest of those who, since the termination of the war, have , imposed upon the prostrate bourn every species of tyranny and outrage. It would be inconsis tent in them not to receive mm with ceremo nious honors, and we are not surprised that Sonaor Wilson, whose sensibility of odors is not acute, should have played the part of gentleman usher and escorted him to his seat with a profusion of obese genuflexions. It is noteworthy that Senator Sumner, who does not share his colleague's olfactory apathy, did not fall upon the brunette bosom of the murky Mississippian and consecrate him with a baptism of tears. He could not have made any use of his emotional brine which would have been more consistent with his antecedents and principles. Hut he with held that desirable aspersion, and the "nig ger" took his seat without moistening. Ifo was slapped on tne deck wun recKiess cor diality by Nye and other muscular radicals, and his hand was vigorously shaken by at least a quorum. It remains now to see what he will do ceyona maiung nis imme diate neighbors uncomfortable. According to the radical theory his advent in the Senate ought to usher in a new era. They . i n ' ... m ?it i have promised au manner oi millennial beatitudes as the consequence of letting the nigger vote and be voted for. Well, he votes. He generally votes the radical ticket, but has been known in periods of excitement to deposit turnpike tickets, champagne labels, and mottoes. His representative sits in the highest deliberative body in the nation, and we await witn interest tne saiutary results which the radicals have promised us. What will he do ? Will he purge the legislature of those i who sell cadetships for a price, and those who interpose pettilogging vindications of that infamy from their place in Congress ? He oueht to do tnis. lie carries a carpet-bag himself, and he ought to exact punctilious be havior from his white brethren who are similarly handicapped. Perhaps he will give ns a new scheme of finanoe which will roll the stone from the grave of our national in dustry. A necessary preliminary to this would be to teach Boutwell some of the rudi ments of arithmetio and political economy. This, wo take it, he would nnd even less easy than to instruct Robeson as to the difference between the jibboom and the lee scuppers, or between the anchor and the admiral. The latter has been tried with considerable assi duity, but with no other result than to break the heart of the instructor and hope lessly cloud the nautical perceptions of the Secretary. oo we can nave oui iuue uopes of the eflicacy oi tne iormer. ne may, per haps, chasten the asperity of Hoar and read him dulcet lessons oi courtesy, anu may set an example of good manners to Butler, and of temperance to unanoier, ana oi evangeucai piety to Nye. He may set his face like a dark-colored flint against the removal of the capital, and muy in sundry and divers ways vindicate the wisdom which has summoned him from the oanebrake and the cotton-field to the seat of the lawgiver.

It would be an august spectacle to see Wilson, with backward step and slow, ushering Susan B.

If she should likewise turn out a failure, and the truth dawn upon ns at lost that neither coffee-colored preachers nor matrons of alabaster and rose are to bring about our political salvation, it will be admitted that a great deal of wind has been wasted. THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH BILL TIIE ARGUMENT OF Mil. ORTON. from ths X. T. Btrald. Mr. Orton. President of the Western Union Telegraph monopoly, continued his speeoh in fppoHition to tne rosiai j.eiegrapn um ueiure the Senate Committee on Post Offloes on Saturday. He claimed that it was unjust to reduce the rates of telegraphy in this country to the basis of rates where the wires are under governmental control in Europe, and held that as the telegraph was ''essential" only to the few here, legislation could be better directed to lowering the prices of food and clothing for has been less proscriptiv and Republicans than the many. As to European Governments assuming control of the wires, he claimed that the system of government in Europe gave privileges to the people rather to keep them quiet and in subjection than to extend any benefit to them; and ns ours is not a paternal government we should leave it to tho people not only to govern themselves, but to promote in their own way everything re quisite for social Intercourse or business inte rests. As to the proposed consolidation of competing lines, ho held it to be the true policy of Congress to favor competition and thereby encourage cheap rates, rather than to control all tho wires itself by the proposed postal system. It is meroly begging the question to say that reducing the price of food and clothing for the many should be the object of Con gressional legislation rather than reducing the taxes of the telography for the few. Con gress can very easily attend to both matters without rushing its business. The one is a question merely of tariff, and is always affected by prices in Europe and the duties imposed on imports, in order either to pro tect our own manufacturers or to obtain a revenue for the Government. But the rates of internal telegraphing are not affected by imports, and are not at present a source of much Government revenue. In the event of Government taking control of the wires, how over, they will become a source of revenue at such reduced rates as will make them accessible, as they are already essential, to the many. As to Mr. Orton's idea that we should leave the people to promote their own social and business intercourse, it Is a true and good one, but it is his own monopoly which prevents their carrying out the idoa. Our Government is a Government of the peo ple, and while they could promote their own business and social intercourse through the uovernment telegraph, they are debarred from doing so through his monopoly. The im perial autocrat of France, to whom Mr. Orton refers as extending only the minor privileges of cheap telegraphy to the people, while he is held upon his throne by the bayonets of his soldiery, is prototyped here not by our Gov ernment, but by such monopolies as the Western Union, except that the latter does not extend even such a privilege to the peo ple. But Napoleon finds this very privilege of cheap telegraphy the deadliest weapon against his soldiers' bayonets, and the Western Union seem to think it equally deadly against their monopoly. As to the fostering of consolidation by the purchase of the wires for the use of the Government, Mr. Orton, as President of the Western Union Company, can certainly enter no just protest. He cannot seriously argue against it on the grounds of monopoly in the same breath in which he says that his company would be able to get control even of the governmental organization proposed in one of tho postal telegraph bills. His com pany has been regularly in the habit of buy ing up smaller lines and weaker companies, and now own three-fourths or more of all the lines. They will admit of no healthful com petition. A monopoly of telegraphing by the uovernment would be a people s monopoly. if one at all, like the present postal system, cheap and efficient, and not what it is under the Western Unien, essential to the few and inaccessible to the people at large. iiyvTt i)irso4 EDITIONS or THE HOLY BIBLE.
