2 TliE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAF1I PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1870. grim? or Tun muss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for tho Lvening Telegraph. MULT, Oil NO 1)1 RLE? From the S. Y. Time. In the trial of what N now known an tho 'Cincinnati UiMe C'nt-o," one of the coutiHol denied in plnin ternm that wo have any right to be cnlled a Christian notion, and argued at some length to show that Christianity had conferred no real bencQts, even of a moral kind, upon the Lurann race. Most people would be rotich shocked at this view, but it is the only view any one can consistently hold who demands that tho Bible shall be made a proscribed book. When a man says plainly, "The Bible is a pernicious notion, and cannot be read in publio without doing injury to the hearers," we can understand his position. But it is not so easy to under- i stand how any Christian minister can recon cile it with his dnty to consent to plane the Bible under a perpetual interdict, so far as our common schools are concerned, and to assert the principle that the daily reading of the Scriptures is too unimportant a privilege to be worth contending for. People who enter into unworthy compro mises usually find that they have sacrificed their own convictions without securing the object at which they aimed. The contest which is now forced upon us is pre-eminently one of this kind. We are asked to throw the Bible out of our schools and for what? To conciliate the Roman Catholics ? Not at all, for they have had the candor to tell us before hand that they take very little interest in the question. "The issue," one of their journals has told us, "is not about the reading or not reading of the Bible in schools. We insist upon having this apprehended and acknow ledged. Bible read, or Bible not read, in the publio schools, cannot alter the objections of Catholics, obedient to their faith, against the . popular method of publio schools. We insist on having this recognized." This statement has been repeated by almost every Catholio who has discussed the question; and it is enforced afresh in the April number of a publication which may almost be regarded as the official organ of Catholicism in this country the (Jatltolic World. It is not, there fore, even to make peace that we are invited to expel the Bible from the schools, as if it were an exploded collection of old wives' fables. We ar6 merely asked to proclaim in the face of the world that in our own opinion we have arrived at a stage of perfection at which we can disponse with the revealed Word of God. It is important to consider that we are not situated as a people would be who had just begun to found a national system of educa tion. It is not a question with us of intro ducing the Bible into schools, but of delibe rately ejecting it. If it were the former, we should, in the highest interests of future generations, counsel the use of the Bible. But when we are asked to reverse a settled policy at the instigation of those who are irreconcilably opposed to our entire free school system, how can wo hesitate about the answer we ought to return? The pupils at present in our schools are suddenly to see the Bible turned out of doors with igno miny. What would be the impression created upon their minds ? Would not every principle of religious faith in them be deeply outraged, if not severely shaken ? Would it not be taken as a confession that we have found out that the Bible is a mischievous book? It may be said that they could still hear the Bible read at home. But only casuists say so. In practice, there are too few fathers and mothers who begin the day with reading a chapter in the Bible. They have no time, or think they have none. But they rejoice to know that the loftiest and most sublime appeals to man's nobler im pulses and capabilities to which it can ever be our lot to listen, fall on their children's ears once a day in school. If they are infidels, they will yet admit that the Biblical code of ethics prescribes a method of life which is best calculated to insure happiness in time and after it. If they are sectarian bigots they may, indeed, wish to consign our Protes tant Bible to tne names, as tyrants ana perse cutors have done in past aces, but snail we basely yield to their audacious conspiracies? Are we to be formally placed under the dominion of zealots of an alien faith? Itoman Catholics say they want "free dom of conscience." Yes and so do we! We want to enjoy the privileges which our forefathers handed down to us, and for which they suffered innumerable hardships and dangers at a period when men were not ashamed of the faith that was in them. "Freedom of conscience" in the mouths of too many Roman Catholics means freedom of their consciences, and suppression of every body eWs. When foreigners come here they enjoy every freedom the heart of man can desire, but when they seek to overturn insti tions which exist for the general good, or to change us from a Protestant into a Iloinan Catholic people, they ought to fail and they trill fail while we are a great nation and not a degenerate race of cowards. "It will be a glorious day for Catholics in this country," says one of "their journals, "when, under the blows of justice and morality, our school sys tem will be shivered to pieces." We answer; It is beyond your power to destroy our School system. Try to do it, and you will rush to certain destruction. If we must have this fi"lit, by all moans let us have it quickly, and get done with it. Mankind will attest that in tho transfer of the Old World conflict Letween Protestantism and Popery to the New World, Protestantism was not to blame. If tho Church of aggression once more invites a trial of strength between her self and the Protestant principle, she mint have it; but well w ill it be lor her if sae emerges from it without undergoing the most fatal reverses she has received bince she lost England by her intolerance. As for us, we as a people ought to resolve, at once and for ever, to defend tlio Bible and the common school sy&tem against any adversaries who can be arrayed against us, relying for suocess upon mm who iius solemnly warned man kind, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but A.. 111 r.ni If COTTON PLANTING. From the Memphis A oalanehe. Uar receipts 01 couon to tiate sum up 231.010 bales, against 214.317 bales for the " corresponding period last season, showing an increase of about ten per cent. Prom the 13th of March to the 31st of August, 18li!t, our receipts were 33,381 bales. Estimating that our receipts for the remainder of this Beason will maintain the rate of increase realized up to this time, the result for the entire season will approximate 208,000 bales. . The receipts for the whole of last Beason were UH7,t)'.m bales. It is generally admitted, now ever, that there is more cotton in the coun try than at this time last year, and it will not be surprising therefore if receipts should roll up a total" of 27.",()0O bales. Estimating the value of the cotton at $100 per bale, tho J money handled by our merchants for this one product, and distributed among the planting community, will be close upon $28,000,000. The bulk of this wealth will remain in our midst and be applied to the improvement and development of the coun try, the effect of whioh will be to promote the interests of our city in every wny con ceivable. Surely Memphis, surrounded by such elements of wealth aswe have indicated, increasinc from rear to year, cannot fail to prosper and grow rapidly. It needs but wtae local and State legislation, reduced taxation, a vigorous administration of the laws looking to the protection of life and property, enter prise, and a nign sianuara oi mercantile in tegrity, to ensure the doubling of our popu lation and weaitn witnin tne next ten years. Since the war Memphis has labored under tho most adverse circumstances, and that she has not only kept up but progressed is evidence of remarkable vitality. Uur population is steadily on tne increase and new interests are rapidly spring ing up, the extent and influences of wnicn will be more sonsibly felt and recognized in tho near future, binoe September last, ac cording to the books of one of our emigra tion agencies, the population of Memphis has been increased some four thousand irora tne Northwest, one thousand of whom are skilled mechanics, the others being laborers, and variously employed on the railroads ana in BhopB. stores, foundries, cardons, and the like. The introduction of this element has been attended with the most gratifynng results, and the stream will continue on an increas ing scale. It is the class of population whioh will stick and prosper, and of which our city and section have been sorely in need. The majority of them are foreigners, but many are thoroughly Americanized so far as the language and customs of the Country are concerned, and are well able to take care of themselves. In addition to this accession some nine thou sand of the same class have located within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles of Memphis as plantation hands and small farm ers, and give promise of thrift and prosperity almost unprecedented. The addition of this element to our planting interest will largely increase the products of our section and con tribute to the advancement of Memphis in a greater measure than heretofore experienced. It is safe to assume that the cotton trade of Memphis next season will not fall short of 300,000 bales at the lowest estimate, while a very marked increase in our general trade for the next few months is a foregone con clusion. MAIDEN SPEECH OF THE COLOltED SENATOR. From the A. I'. World. The motive which caused the Senate Chamber to be thronged with eager listeners was mere curiosity to witness a spectacle so odd and extraordinary as the participation of a negro in the debutes of the highest branch of our national legislature Nobody sup. posed that anything said by a Senator so raw, so inexperienced, so untrained in publio life and the proceedings of deliberative bodies, and so out of place in his new asso ciations, could have any influence on the de cision of the question debated. Nor could anybody have expected to learn anything of the capacity of the negro intellect from this exhibition. Bevels is not a full-blooded negro, but an octoroon; or at least it was so stated by some of the Republican Sena tors when he was admitted to his seat. Whatever ability ho may possess is probably inherited from his white progenl tors, as the talents of Fred. Douglass are from his white Maryland father. It is a striking illustration of the deep and in eradicable repugnance of the white to the negro race that no amount of dilution can remove the taint of negro blood, and that, in spite of seven parts in eight of white blood, Bevels is classed as a negro, and is con demned, even by his ardent radical friends, to stand on the negro side of the gulf by which the two races are separated. If Bevels were married to a white woman and had sous with only one-sixteenth of negro blood in their veins, there is no radical Senator who would permit his daughter to degrade herself, and forfeit her social caste, by uniting with one of them in marriage. The curiosity to hear Bevels' Bpeech was simple curiosity to hear a negro in the Senate, and it attests the ban of social ostracism which attends the slightest intermixture of negro blood. Bevels himself is fully conscious that the seven-eighths of white blood which flows in his veins cannot redeem him into classinca- tion with the white race, and he accepts his position as a black sheep in the Senatorial flock. He recognizes the impassable barrier, and regards himself as a representative of the black race, and as identified with its in terests. The crowds that flocked to hear him merely because he is a negro bore un witting testimony to the ineffaceable distinc tion which separates the two race?, and which no legislation can obliterate. He is seven eighths a white man, and yet is irreversibly doomed to be classed as a negro, and is uni versally recognized by the negroes as a repre sentative of their race. This is a signal proof of the ostracising taint whioh inheres in negro blood. No traction of it can pass the insuperable line which divides the two races. We are more willing to find reasons to com mend the negro Senator's speech than to de preciate it; for, though it cinnot have the weight ot a leather on the legislation of Con gress, its influence upon his own race is of home importance. His position in the Senate secures him the attention of all the negroes in the country. All of them who can read will read his speech; and to those who cannot it will either be road by others, or they will get a general idea of its contents by descrip tion. It is of no small publio consequence that those who are likely to be leaders of the negro mind should exert a beneficial influ ence. Tho weight of Bevels in Congress is too despicable to be regarded; but his power to mould the ideas and train tho sentiments of the negroes is very considerable, and in this view his speech must be looked at as something more than a transient topio of stupid Radical curiosity. In point of ability, it is beneath serious criticism. It is easy and fluent enough in language; but it is merely soutiraental, not argumentative, and is garnished with stale quotations of poetry, as if the recitation of such scraps could have any effect on legisla tion. But such school-boy decorations are well enough adapted to the negro mind on which the speech will operate, and may help the influence of the speech in the only quar ter where it can be of any oonsequnce. If the negroes think it fine, and esteem its trash as eloquence, they will the more readily fall in with the sentiments it is meant to incul cate. The only question in which the white publio can be interested is, whether these sentiments are salutary. ine particular side of the Georgia question which Revels espoused is not worth regarding, that being a matter in whioh he had no choice, and was obliged to take his cue from his radi cal patrons in the Senate. But the grounds on which he attempted to vindicate the negro character were selected by himself, and do him no discredit. If what he singles out as topics of eulogy are accepted by his negro constituents as just grounds of pride, the speech is calculated to do good. We hope it may steady and confirm them in the senti ments and conduct for which they are praised. Mr. Revels dwells, with warmth and satisfac tion, on the fidelity of the negroes to the families of their masters in the late civil war. lie makes it a merit that they did not then rise in insurrection: that they took no advantage of the helpless and exposed condition of the wives and children of their employers, but served and protected them with dutiful obedience throughout a straggle in which their own freedom was at stake. It cannot be dispute! mat their faith fulness in such a season of temptation was creditable to their character; and when they find themselves praised for it by their own Senator, and see it put forward as a ground of confidence in their moderation and good intentions, they are taught to measure their conduct by a really excellent standard. And to when Mr. Revels disclaims, in their behalf, any intention to thrust themselves into power and domineer over the whites, the disclaimer ought to operate as an inculcation of duty. So far as they defer to his opinion and re spect his judgment, they must regard his dis- avowments as furnishing the rule by which their political aspirations ought to be re. strained. If they will act in the spirit for which they are credited by their Senator, and make a merit of their moaeration and fidelity, they will greatly increase their chances of cordial, pleasant relations with their white fellow-citizens. - TENNESSEE AND MISSOURI. From the St. IaaiU Republican. Two precisely similar wrongs ought to have precisely the same remoay Dy an rules of 1 us- tice and science. But we are about to have an example in which the name of the patient is to make a difference of treatment which the case itself does not suggest nor call for. The radicals want to rule Tennessee, and have adopted a plan to gain their end. Butler shouts "murder" in the House, and a com mittee of Tennessee radicals wait upon the President with a grievous complaint of "out rages on loyal men," which nobody ever heard of, and ask for troops to be sent to the State. The President, we are told, has made up his mind to send the troops if Uovernor Senter will make a request for them; and, if Gover nor Senter does not make such a request, he will send them anyhow, on the plea of sus taining the Federal officers in enforcing the revenue laws. As there is no notable opposi tion to the collection of the revenue in Ten nessee, not one-fourth as much as there has been in Philadelphia and New York, where no troops were thought necessary, this plea must be regarded as only a pretext for doing a thing which it has been decided to Ao, for another renson. Such a step is not only un warranted by law, and unworthy the Presi dent, but is in direct opposition to his own conduct in the lawless radical war in Lafayette county, Missouri, in 18t. In that case an organized mob of radical ruffiins called State militia, sent by the Qovernor of the State, drove off the Federal revenue imsessor. Richard Vaughan, threatened to kill him if he should attempt to return, threatened the life also of the United States commissioner, Amos Green, and held the peaceful citizens under a reign of terror. General Grant, then Gene ral of the army, happened to come to St, Louis at the time these outrages were being committed, and was appealed to for protection against them. At first he thought he had no right to send troops to Lafayette county, without a request from the Governor of the State; but, being represented that he had a right to send them to protect the threatened live? of the Federal officers, he yielded, reluctantly, so far as to order a few troops from Leaven worth to the Bcene of lawlessness. But the radical press began to denounoe the act as an illegal and unwarrantable Federal interference in the affairs of a State, and to hint to the future radical nominee for the Presidency that he had better limit himself to the bounds of his authority. The general of the army took the hint, withdrew the troops almost as soon as they had arrived on the spot, and left the United States Revenue Assessor, the United States Commissioner, and the unoffending people of Lafayette county, to the fury of Governor Fletcher, Baoon Montgomery, and the militia who robbed Mitchell's bank, and dragged Mr. Berry, editor of the Richmond Freeman, to Lexington, with a rope round his neck, after navmg smashed his type. All these things General Grant did not regard as giving him any warrant for interfering in the affairs of Missouri, but a much less grievous condition of things, we are told, has determined him to interfere in the affairs of Tennessee. As Missouri was governed by the party which afterwards voted for him for President, while Tennessee is under the more peaceful rule of a party that did not vote for him are we to accept such insufficient and personal consid erations as thi.t, as the motives for the Presi dent's important official acts? THE TWO MISSING STEAM EES. Prom the If. Y. UeraUL The villanous and senseless hoax which, through the telegraphic news agency of the Associated Tress, was perpetrated upon this community on Wednesday, in reference to the missing steamer, the City of Boston, very naturally excited the publio indignation. But the virtuous declarations on the part of the responsible news agency of aotive efforts to solve the mystery, and their offer of a reward of five hundred dollars for the discovery of tho author of the canard, do not repair the mischief. The telegraphio operator who sent 11 v 11 T.i-l '1 1 over ineacspaicn permittea nis zeai, pernaps to outrun his discretion in giving as a positive fact some loose conjecture or idle rumor float ing in the street. Ho such thing as this, however, should be permitted in any tele graph office. The duty of every such office, where an irresponsible report is handod in, involving an important matter of faot, is to inquire concerning it ia the right quarter before, and not after, sending off such report as a fact; and this rule, it is to be hopea, will be more carefully observed hereafter than it nas been by the news agency ot the Asso ciated Press. We do not. however, vet abandon all hope of authentio news of the safety of the City of Boston, disheartening as it is to think of her chances after being forty-nine days out from xiauiax ana no authentio report concerning her. Uur latest news from the Azores Islands, however, is of the 2Cth of February, since which date the steamer may have drifted in mere, with eight or ten days later inteui cence from Faval. if we hear nothing of her, we shall be thrown back upon the painful conclusion that, crushed, perhaps, among loe bergs, or suddenly foundered in heavy storm, she has gone down, like the President, the Pacific, the City of Glasgow, and the Tempest, leaving not a soul or a vestige afloat to tell the point on the sea or the nut are of her disaster. But still we hold to the chance of the Azores Islands. Some distrust is also bflginninar to be felt as to the safety of the Cunard steamer Sa maria, now eighteen days out from Quoons town, bound for this port. The Cunardors nave boon so remarkably punctual In tnoir trips uv uu Hansons that, where one oi tuoso steamers is concerned, a detention of four or five days beyond her appointed time is a mat ter for some apprehensions of at least a dis abling accident. But the Samaria, we dare say, has suffered nothing worse than tho Smidt, and we may expect a report at any moment of her appearance at the Hook. In real stormy wintry weather the passing winter seems to have been crowded into the month of March, and so the lengthening of a steamer's passage six, eight or ten days across tne At lantic is no cause for any great anxiety. THE FALSE EXCUSE FOR OUR DI3- GRACE. From the y. T. Bun. The apologists for General Grant's neglect of his duty to protect American citizens in Cuba set up as an excuse that the Navy De partment is helpless, and that Admiral Por ter has no ships to send to the West Indies for such a purpose. How false this pretense is may be seen from the fact that the Benioia, "a magnifi cent sloop-of-war, carrying a battery of four teen guns of heavy calibre," sailed from Bos ton on Saturday, the fith inst., for Rio on her way to China and Japan; that tho Alaska, sloop-of-war, likewise, carrying fourteen guns, is to sail for the same destination to day; and the great frigate Colorado, car rying forty-nine hundred-pounders, is nearly ready to join them. If the administration were governed by common sense and Ameri can feeling. Instead of being in the interest of Spain, it would not pretend that it had no ships with which to save the lives and pro perty of our citizens in Cuba, when it is sending these three fine vessels to China, where there is no pressing need for them. Neither would it employ one or two of the men-of-war that belong to the existing West India squadron in carrying rreside&t JJaez of St. Domingo about on pleasure trips just as the Tallapoosa was kept here to carry that great bon vivnnt, Mr. Robeson, about on pleasure trips last summer when she was imperiously required for duty on the coasts ot uuba. One great difficulty with this administra tion is that it thinks a great deal of its own pleasure and very little of its duties. Gene ral Grant desires Congress to adjourn early in order that he may enjoy the pleasures of Long Branch, Saratoga, free travelling, and tree entertainment in ail parts of the conn try. Mr. Fish administers the Government in the interest of Spain, and leaves our citi zens and consuls to be mobbed and murdered in Cuba; and he has for his reward the plea sure of complying with tho wishes of his son-in-law, the Spanish agent. Admiral Por ter carries on the navy for his own pleasure, and sends onr ships everywhere but where they are wanted. Mr. Robeson eats rich dinners, looking upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it movetn itsoit aright, and great, no doubt. is his pleasure; and among them all, the United States is become the scorn of the world, and the citizen of the pettiest dnke- dom in Germany is safer and more respected in any foreign land than the citizen of this famous and mighty Government. GOLLADAY. From the Lexington (A'y.) Gazette. Before the name of this individual shall have become embalmed in infamy or sink to an infamous oblivion, we would say a few words by way of expressing the indignation wnicn an jientuckians leel at his most ab horred conduct. He has confessed the crime with which he has been charged, and for the paltry sum of $2000 has brought shame upon this old commonwealth and caused a blush to mantle the cheek of every man who hears his name mentioned. We might have expected such conduct from carpet-baggers, scalawags, and niggers, but that a white man, represent ing a Kentucky Democratio constituency. should sell himself to the devil for $2000. is a sin and a shame that passes our comprehen sion, lie resigned, but we hope that the Governor will not accept it. He should be made to face the musio, and to stand up in his place in Congress to receive the sentence of expulsion amidst the jeers and scoffs of the House, galleries, niggers and all, and then to be branded with infamy eternal. If he is guilty, and we see no escape from it, we do hope that his constituency will hang him as high as Haman was hung if he should ever put his foot on Kentucky sou aoain. lie is attempting to bully it out by announ cing himself as a candidate for re-election. Ihis is all sham. He would as soon go into a cage of hyenas as to return to the people whom he has disgraced and outraged. He is the first Kentuckian that has ever disgraced himself in a high office, and may his punish ment be so terrible as forever to deter an other from the commission of a like offense.
