TllETTY LITTLE MISS COUZENS, i ET AL. From the T. TYibune. It is customary to speak with derision of the tempests wtiioh now and then break out in teapots. From an outside point of con templation these turbulences doubtless seem trivial, but it is likely that within the teapot the commotion is tremendous. We do not usually pay muoh attention to these circum Boribed and isolated cyolones, but one of them has recently summoned our attention. The teapot in which it ragss is the Revolution, and the storm is merely a breeze among those women. We will it litila more room to blow in. To keep peace among magpies, according to Paulus Kilentiarius, assures scars but forbids glory. Doubtless in trying to keep peace among the women we shall be in similar case. We don't want glory. If we get scars we shall at least get them in a generous cause. We want first to assuage the ranoor of pretty Miss Phoube Couzens, a beauteous maiden of eloquenoe and wrath who dwells in St. Louis. She shooti the lances of her resentment from her citadel by the Mississippi, and they glance across the continent and are more difficult to dodge than the arrows of Apollo. Unhappily, she seeks to transfix one of our correspon dents, whom she calls by name and pro nounces a "girl of immature thought and idea." Of course we come to the rescue of the Eastern dove from the talons of the Western falcon. We beseech Miss Phoobe to tell ns what she means by such language as this. Has she not yet learned that the Tri bune ripens all it shines upon ? How, then, can a correspondent who basks in the full effulgence of our noontide beams be "imma ture ?" If destiny should reserve for Miss Couzens the unspeakable distinction of some time belonging to our staff of reporters, we venture the prediction that within six calendar months even she would be riper than a Smyrna fig or a Maltese cucumber. We have taken some pains to ascertain the cause of Miss Couzens' little outbreak of temper. We find her debut on Eastern platforms recorded in the Tribune in these lofty phrases of eulogy: "Little Phabe is piquant, sprightly, mode rately clever, and twenty-six. When she is older Jshe will probably know more." This generous and unequivocal recognition of her personal charms and her latent capacities of improvement does not appear to have quite met her views. We are sorry for this. Knowledge, the poet says, comes, and wis dom lingers. In the arduous pursuit which Miss Couzens has chosen she will find use for all the knowledge which comes to her, and all the wisdom that lingers with her. It certainly would be most ungenerous to say that she had closed her mental acoounts, and would henceforth learn no more. We find a further introduction of Miss Couzens in the sprightly Washington correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial. This corres pondent thinks the young lady is about twenty-one. She is tall and handsome. Her "chin rounds out a little too much," and her mouth "suffers thereby, and exhibits a tendency to "dish" a verb ot mystery, whioh we can neither parse nor interpret, ller complexion is delioate, her eyes glorious, her hair of raven hue, and her face one of the most intellectual on whioh the correspondent has ever looked. "When she opened her mouth, the sweet voice came ringing out like coins dropped down a many fathomed well." We are pleased to discover that the lady thus copiously and gorgeously described does not consider this correspondent immature in thought or idea. She says he is 'high toned. " Well, he is. These are treble octaves of ap preciation. We don't see how he could have made them more high toned without going up Btairs. What Burke says of Marie Antoinette is tame, and the rhapsodies of "Borneo" are cold in comparison. To be censured as "im mature" by a lady whose chin rounds out in suoh an intellectual manner, and whose en dowments are so numerous and gracious, is a very bad business indeed. If she were an elderly apostle with a false front and a visage of vinegar, her aspersion would not amount to much. It is the privilege of the afternoon to animadvert upon the morning. But we don't expect half -past 8 to turn upon a quarter- past 7 and aoouse it of being too early. Pitch into the enemy, abuse the men, call them all the names which Joe Bagstock called his native; we will not interpose to protect tnem, But if these voluble and reformatory young women are going to lay lanoes in rest only to run tuts at each other, we shall call a truoe, have their armor taken from them, and give them back the distaff instead. Those who wish well to the woman's rights crusade welcomed the advent of youth and beauty in the ranks of the crusaders. Wis dom, and experience, and antiquity of days are all very well, but to carry a great re f ormatory movement to a successful issue, they need a little of the bright alloy of sparkling youtn and impetuous mailonuood, Finally they got it. The timorous girls came forth from silken boudoirs, and shaded gar dens, ana perhaps loss luxurious hiding places, and from noisy platforms beamed star-like upon the world. They did not always bring good grammar with them, and their pretty curled heads were not burdened with much wisdom, but they spoke nice little pieces, lull oi adjectives, ana extublted in all cases the precipitate and sanguine en thusiasm of inexperienoe. A good many per sons went to hear their little chirrupings who would not have gone to hear the wiser- and more frumpy elders sound their tremendous ' clamor over the roofs of the world. It will be a source of genuine regret if the handsome young recruits exhibit imperfect discipline, ana turn their rhetoric upon each other, They will injure the cause whioh thev seek to promote. They will strain thoir voices and get their hair out of curl. More persuasion lies toiaea in meir curia than is likely to be won by their logic, so that their ooiffures should not be subjected to this peril. If they are in earnest, they must subordinate itheir resentments, chastieo their vanities, and ry to make the brains inside their heads balance the deck nair on the outside. Without neglecting graver duties, they -ought ' occasionally to peruse elementary treatises on English composition. We find Miss Couzens. in her rage at female reporters. actually printing sentences like this:"! trust that ere long we may nave nouie, uroaa, cultured women in their places who will have sufficient respect and reverence for those noble, cultured women, whose hairs have grown grey," etc., "at to write respectfully of them." Now this chormiug young ludy. who would reform the social and polniou. Bystems of civilization, should begin by radi allv reforming ber own parts of speech, We express this admonition in all gentleness. A little industry will do much towards correcting her shortcoming, and when she has herself been taught, she may worthily become the tencher of others. Until Rhe In- I curs that discipline she should be sparing of I, reproach or inculcation. Thore are some rights whioh are unjustly withheld from i Women, inai oi learnmg to speas buu write the English language correctly is not among them. Anybody can do that without break ins the laws or getting up a revolution. It is superfluous to point out to Miss Couzens the importance of these accomplishments to the orator or the literary woman, or to demon strate to her the weight which they will lend to any lessons which she may nereafter be called upon to teach, or any reproaches which she may be moved to bestow. We had a word to say about the evolu tion, the teapot in whioh these little tempests break and ravage. It assails, with great coarseness and Indecency, a lady wno is em ployed upon our staff of reporters. Its lan guage is bucu that we cannot quote It without offense to our readers, so we had perhaps better pass it by. The lady thus assailed does not clamor in publio for rights, but accepts duties and performs them faithfully; and the language in which the Revolution refers to her is a reproach upon itself, which it will take much time and good behavior to oblite rate. Some respectable ladies are, we be lieve, associated with its conduct. If they accept contributions from unworthy editors, they ought to revise them, so that the paper may be read by their daughters without shame. TOE NEW NOMINEE FOR 1872. Frtm the Jf. T. World. It is our duty, and gondtally it is a plea sure, to chronicle events in our sister and neighbor commonwealths, especially such as may be supposed to have an extra-territorial interest. One has just occurred of great and general influence. It relates mainly, we admit, to the future of the Republican party ox the country; but as its organs, for some unexplained reason, are disposed to be silent on the subject, and there is no knowing what the dark and perplexed future may give birth to (pontics being in a transition state;, we wish it hereafter distinctly to be reoolleoted that the World is the first accredited organ of publio opinion which gives publicity to this momentous incident. It is no less than the formal and irrevocable nomination of Gover nor Geary, of Pennsylvania, as the next Fre Eident, in opposition to General Grant; and it comes to pass in this wise. Governor Geary has, or rather bad, a pri vate secretary named Gihon. They were, of course, near and dear to each other. If Geary tried on a new uniform coat, Gihon was there to smooth out the wrinkles and tell him how it fitted. He trimmed his beard and mustache. He held up the glass to enable him to arrange his back hair, no wrote his dinner invitations; and when the Geary muse went dry was at hand with a fresh breast of mild rhetoric to fill up his messages. If a poor man or woman from Lowdon or Fauquier came to Harrisburg to inquire after some missing articles spoons or a family Bible taken in the raids of 1802, Gihon was there to belt the door in the Ilebel face. If some ill-natured Democratio press intimated that ueary ran away trom stonewall Jacuson, or dug up an old gun at Harper's Ferry as a trophy of fresh war, uinon was at nana to write the contra diction, and, if necessary, swear to it. As was Lear to Washington, and Coles to Jef ferson, and Tod to Madison, and .Bourrienne to napoleon, ana uuzwooa to Wellington, so was Gihon to Geary. He was the confidant in white muslin ! Now, it seems Gihon has resigned "in order to engage in business which will demand his entire time and atten tion," that business being to make his friend and patron President of the United States; to which arrangement the Governor, willingly, without vow or protest, assents. It is done, too, in a way which entirely puts an end to all objection or scruple from without. "Your cast record." writes Gihon. "is ausoi- cious of the higher honors that await you. "You have expressed, Bays Geary in reply, "kind wishes that I may be the reoipient of higher honors, in which I most heartily join you. 'J. he whole thing is settled at once, and a little newspaper called the Topic, auspice Ixinon, is issued at Harrisburg to give form and effect to the arrangement, liivals are easily disposed of, for, says the Topic, sweep ing away in an instant Grant and Butler and t orney and bhernion: "The Republicans are Inharmonious and discord ant upon several subjects. There Is no great leader to ruie upon me wainwina ana airect tne storm.' General Grant Is calm, placid, and self-possessed, hopiDg for the best. General Butler U active, vital. and energetio, and Is tolling with unabated Industry to bring order oat of chaos. General Butler Is evi dently tne leaner at present, witn a powerful lnnu ence to back him In the next Presidential contest. His late unaccountable lukewannness In aid of the struggling patriots of Cuba has done him Immense damage. The recuperative energy of General But ler, however, has never yet been sounded, and he will doubtless come ud attain. Our old friend. Colonel John W. Forney, lias gone over to the Spanish side, and deserted the great principles of civil and religioas liberty. Drop a tear! The Fund ing bill or Mr. Sherman, which has passed the Senate, will pass the House, unless General Butler and a few others oppose themselves to it with all their power. This bill, If it becomes a law (which may kind heaven forbid), will euslave the white aud colored laboring men of this nation, and place them unuer tue perieci control oi taskmasters more in tolerable and oppressive than those of the South bo I ore me war." Thus, then, without any of the superfluous machinery of nominating conventions is the nag of Geary hoisted; and as the Gihon organ has a vignette at the head of its leading column representing a gentleman in his shirt-sleeves, with a brandished hammer and a muscular arm, we read with surprise the motto: "We (Gihon and Ueary) have un furled our banner to the breeze and nailed it to the mast. So be it; and it will be for the people of this country all the blacks and suoh of the whites as are allowed to vote to determine whother he shall be elected. For our part, looKing at the question ironi a distance coolly, and free from the enthusiasm which no doubt now agitates Pennsylvania, we do not hesitate to say that, should the choice be narrowed down to one between Grant and Geary, we rather incline towards Geary. He has, in the first place, we believe, a very small family and no brothers-in-law. No one, at least, has married into the Geary circle on speculation yet. He is not very fond of Philadelphia, nor Philadelphia of him. No body has given a house there, and very few have asked him out to dine, lie is a man of perfectly respectable private character, and never had anything to do with Sickles, or condoning murderers of any kind. He pays his way when he travels, and don't steamboat it gratis with 1 ink. In his own way, he did a good deal of fighting during the war, and was wounded severely, if laboriously, lie was more careful of his men than of himself, and never, in mere stolidity, hurled them upon useless slaughter, lie did ngnt for bis own btate gallantly at Gettysburg; and cer iiumy was no party, witn bickles and Hut terneld and Pleasonton, to a conspiracy to ruin me modest, brave soldier wno won that day and saved the North. The3e certainly are reiauve merits, at least, wnicn it is only the part of common candor to state. We do not commit ourseives to Gearv vet. however. for hero is Fenton doolaring himself also a candidate for the Presidency, after his own methods of affirmation: "I'wiTRn State Hknath, Washinotok, March 1 1870 . Deferring to the pustorlpt to your letter, could anuhlng be more weak on the part of friends, or mnre'wleked on the part of erv.mlea, than the talk about my being a candidate for President? 1 ceriBiiuj entertain no Hucn pmpimti, um, un.o ral Grant's administration Is doing so well, can I deem It necessary or wise for its supporters to take Into consideration any change of leadership. "very truly yours, . ramun. THE NEUTRALITY RESOLUTIONS BE FORE CONGRESS. From, the X. Y. Ilerahl. Almost everv dnv. for some weeks past, the Washington correspondents have been telling the publio that the Committees on Foreign AHairs of both houses ot congress were auons to do something, or had agreed to do some thing, favorable to the Cubans. A number of resolutions to thot effect have been offered and referred to these committees. But the mountain has brought forth nothing yet; and if we may judge from the latest reports it will only give birth to a little mouse after all. The result of all the resolutions, speeches, confer ences of the Foreign Committees and labors of the friends of Cuba is likely to be only a string of neutrality resolutions that will put tne Spaniards ana me Cubans on the same footing. This is a very small mouse for such a mountain to bring forth. Terhaps this would be better than nothing, though it comes late to bene fit the insurgents materially, and after Spain has received all the aid in war materials she needed from the United States. Never before did so great a nation as this exhibit such weakness and vacillation. But the ad ministration and Congress seem paralyzed by timidity. Neither the publio voice nor publio policy can dispel their fears or nerve them to face this question in a manly spirit. No won der that Spain is boastful and threaten ing; no wonder that American citizens are slaughtered with impunity by the bloodthirsty Spanish volunteers; no won der that our Consuls, the representa tives of this ereat Republic are obliged to flee for their lives aud to take shelter under a foreign flag. The conduct of the Govern ment must make every true-hearted American feel deeply the shame and humiliation brought upon the country. Instead of these neu trality resolutions, why does not congress direct the President to acknowledge the bel ligerency of the Cubans ? No unprejudiced Eerson can deny the fact that the Cubans are elligerents. Eighteen months of war against all the power Spain could bring to bear and the successes of the Cubans prove beyond doubt that these people have won the charac ter of belligerents. This country ought to hail the opportunity afforded to extend republican institutions in this hemisphere,' instead ot aiding a European despotism and the worst despotism in the civilized world to crush the rising liberties of an American people. Every principle of policy, right, justice, and liu inanity calls for a prompt recognition of the Cubans as belligerents, bpain would nave no just cause for complaint. We owe her nothing. She recognized the Confederates early in our war and gave them most efficient aid. Are we afraid of Spain? If so let us tell the Cubans plainly that we abandon them, But let us not pursue a weak and vacillating policy, for that will make the mighty Ameri can republic contemptible in the eyes of the world. THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY. From the N. T. Sun. The Young Democracy have a glorious op portunity before them. - They can now re- foim tne government of this city, give us honest elections, honest voting and honest counting, honest enforcement of the laws. honest men in office, honest taxes, and honest municipal expenditures. They can produce here a better condition of publio affairs than has existed within any man s remembrance. The way to this happy consummation seems plain and easy. Ihe great enemy of tne Young Democracy announces that ho will now do the very work he has prevented their doing. The Urand bachem of lam many proclaims himself the champion of municipal reform ! buch is the virtue of a little adversity. It has "converted Tweed himself. He will bring in a charter in whioh no man will be allowed to hold more than one office; in which the Board of Supervisors will be abolished, and its functions be oen tred in the Board of Aldermen; in which that board will be elected by general tioket; in which there shall be no commissions, save possibly such as are ornamental and receive no pay; in which the Mayor shall be charged with suitable responsibilities, and have powers in proportion; in which the tax levy shall be fixed here without reference to Albany, as in other counties of the State; and by which efficiency will be secured and rob bery prevented in every department. Now, we say this is good news, almost too good to be true. If Mr. Tweed really introduces such a charter, he will be doing precisely what the Young Democracy have desired to do, and what he has done his best to defeat them in. Let him go ahead, then, and if he succeeds as well in this new character as in that he has hitherto sustained, why every- body will admit that he is a wonderful man. The opportunity of the Young Demooraey is to stand by judiciously and help the Grand Sachem in this novel line of business. It matters not so much to them what indivi dual proposes the necessary measures as that they shall be radical and comprehensive. The gallant men who have so far led this memo rable combat in the Legislature need not fear thnt they will be forgotten by the people because they have forced the foe of all reform to come forth as the advocate of the very chances he detests. Let Mr. Tweed hurry up his vaunted charter, and lot it be made a law as soon as it is examined and found to oon tain the features he has promised. REMOVAL. THE OLD-ESTABLISHED .
