From tin A', Y. Ti ibuiu:
There whs a timo !;" Hin list dying
flpeecbes ami coiiI'hsmhiim ii'Miuii.le.H ami of
highwaymen wir M order by the
garrtitetrs of Grub stivet, ami were hawked
about the a!i ya of London for n penny. The
gentleman who wa uw.'titiuy the expiatory
hemp had better lusinoH ou hand than
rhotoric and pfiiitonon; for, like Mr. Jonathan
Wild, he might ho drinking punch with the
chaplain; and lie was not unlikely to advance
to his fate with a large nosegay in his button
hole, and with a free and easy fwarrgor which
von the admiration of all beholders. But
exooutions, conmdered merely as exhibitions,
have, in our time, groatly degenerated. Our
syilom affords to the 'wretches who suffer
under it but a limited chance of drauiatio dis
play. It's but ill playing game to a sheriff 's
posse in a jail-yard; it cannot be very exhila
rating to hold long palavors with tho news
paper reporters; and the "spiritual advisor,"
good man, is, no doubt, often considered a
portentous bore. But one thing, if suppliod
with pen and ink and paper, tho moribund
prisoner can do he can write letters with a
reasonable assurance that they will find their
way into the public journals, and achieve for
him a surviving notoriety, however short.
We have, in our time, read hundreds of
these valedictory epistles; but we admit that
we have never read anything more ourious
than his last letter sont to his lather, mother,
brothers and sisters, by Nicklas, who w.is
executed at Little Valley, N. Y., on the ISth
of March. This production is, indeed, a
most singular mixture of pathos and
profanity; there is not wanting the usual
and conventional expressions of a spiritual
comfort and certainty, which good men have
wrestled for years to achieve, and wrestled
in vain; while every now and then breaks out
the savage instinct of a beast howling for a
revenge of which he has been thwarted. "Oh,
dearest mother," writes Nicklas in one
sentence, "my heart is full of pain and sor
row these lonoly hours of approaching death."
This is promising; but the promise is broken
in the very next lines. "Bat it is not," the
prisoner hurries to add, "it is not Sheriff
Cooper that is going to take my life; it is ,
the miserable hound of a murderer, dirty
thief, and scandal of humanity, and pretends
to be a Christian man. If he don't go to
there will not anybody, the murderer and
lying dog!" Instantly follows: "Oh, dear
mother, don't ory. Don't put no sorrow in
your heart for your poor lost son, lor he
will soon meet the angels in heaven, and
be saved for ever." We pause to ask all
theologians, whether they be doginatio
or mystic, and whatever may be the
views which they hold of a future state of ex
istence, what they oonsider to be the precise
value of the faith in his own triumphant sal
vation entertained by this unhappy man? At
best, it seems to be only the coarse, material
faith of the barbarian who promises himself
in the next world a succession of endless and
intensified physical enjoyments a faith quite
compatible with every unholy and unclean
passion which candehle the human heart a
faith which does not comprehend even thesim
plest elements of the Christian scheme. Here
is a man going out of the world, denouncing
a fellow creature as "a miserable hound" and
"a dirty dog," and in the same breath de
claring that "he will Boon meet the angels in
Ileaven, and be saved forever." If it were
not so serious, it would be a little humorous;
as it is, the comedy is rather grim. We do
not say that it brings the most inspiring and
the dearest of our convictions into disrepute;
but we do say emphatically that it insults
them by a low parody of familiar but revered
formulas, and by the presumption that such
convictions are compatible with the most ig
noble appetites. "I have saved my soul,"
writes Theodore Nicklas. No doubt, no fear;
none of those lingering distrusts which might
disturb the ultimate moments of the best. "I
go," he continues, "to a world of everlasting
happiness. But I want this put in
the papers, that all the people may know
that is a dirty thief. I shall
have to leave this world of sorrow and go
into everlasting happinass. God
will seon take out of this world, the
dirty dog." But we are sick of these cita
tions. If there be blasphemy in them, it is
not ours. If there be in them a dreadful
debasement of human nature, the fault may
be attributed to the society which failed to
make this man something better. But if
there be in them, instead of well-grounded
religious faith and rational religious ideas,
instead of the humility which befits a
Christian and the forgiveness of injuries,
without which a Christian cannot be, instead
of all these, only heathenish notions and
vague impressions, and a faith lower than the
lowest skepticism whose fault is it? What
guides led Nicklas into this miry ditch of
moral suffocation ?
Whoever they were, we are not writing to
censure them, and much less are we inclined
to sneer at them. The law having advised a
culprit at bar to make his peace with Qod,
the work of the unfortunate clergynnn com
mences. And what a work he is expected in
a few short weekH to do! He is to make clean
a soul begrimed by the vices of a lifetime,
and full of leprosies acquired and congenital.
He is to cauue this blind man to see, this deaf
man to hear, these lips upon which curses
are native to utter fervent and humble and
effectual prayers. What wonder if, when
these miracles are demanded of him, the man
of God shrinks appulled from labors which
would have appalled the heathen Hercules, if
other than physical tasks had been assigned
him. What wonder if "the spiritual adviser"
resorts to conventionalities: and when there
is no wther hope trusts to Heaven for mercy,
and, so fur as this world is concerned, takes
retugo in stereotypo't forms.
SUITS IN DISTRESS.
From the .V. Y. Times.
Borne recent incidents which have occurred
at sea are far too importuut to the travelling
portion oi ine puimo to no passea over with
out reflection. If captains employed on well-
known lines have lost ull sense of tmmitnitv
and deliberately made up their minds never
to go an inch out of their way to help a ship
in distrehH, the sooner wo know it the better.
We shall then be the better able to calculate
the risks of going to sea at a time when every
coimduiuuoii is sacrificed lor the sika of
making a quick passage, or of leaving somo
rival steamer "in the lurch. The British
commercial marine is rapidly gaining a noto
riety which true seamen of any country would
be the very last to covet, and there are inauy
signs that the evil is likely to increase rather
bun diminish.
It was stated a week or two ago that while
the disabled steamship Samaria was endeavor
ing to .make ber way back to port she met the
I&ohattan, belonging to the Williams and
Gui n line, now carrying tho mails from this I
country to England. Tlio .Samaria hoisted '
tho usual ni;;iials of distress, and ant all in nor
power to attract tho attention of the Manhat
tan. Tho latter uteainer paid not the le.ut
attention to this appeal, but pissed o:i as
rapidly as she could quite indifferent as to
tl.o fate of the bmnnriii.
This statement vns at once contradicted by
Iho captain of tho Manhattan and by two or
tnree pussengf-rsj uui it is now may corrobo
rated by the narrativo of tho cabin passen
gers of the Samaria. It seems to us tint
their evidence is conclusive as against tno
evidence hitherto brought forward on the
other side. They allege distinctly that tho
Samaria exhibited the regular signals of the
commercial code, intiimtting, "I wish to
communicate," "engines disablod," and that
the maintopgallant sail was lowered a
well-known fiignal of distress all the world
over. The Manhattan answered these signals
by setting her ensign, but declined to render
any assistance. Guns were hrod irom ine
Samaria, and two sailing vessels, at a greater
distanco from the steamer than the Manhat
tan, bore down for her ho that it is most
' . . - - . . t
improbable that the guns were not neara, or
the signals not seen, on board the Man
hattan. It is impossible that a case of this kind can
be permitted to rest here. If the captain of
the Manhattan cannot ciear nimsen, we uo
not see how any respectable company can
continue to place confidence in him. Con
duct of the kind ascribed to him must
not bo tolerated on tho high seas. We are
all deploring the disappearance of tho City of
Boston, and it is quite impossible to avoid
the suspicion that she, too, may have been
seon in distress, and barbarously left to per
ish by some captain who cared for nothing
but making a quick voyage. It is to reassure
the pubuo mind on this point that an inquiry
ought to be held into the charges brought by
the passengers and crew of the Samaria
against the Manhattan. The authorities in
England are bound to let us know the whole
truth of the matter, and that without delay.
Contrast the behavior of one British cap
tain to another with that of an American
captain towards the British mail steamer
Venezuela. This vessel met with an accident
which makes us marvel that she remained
n float a single hour afterward, but being skil
fully and gallantly commanded she was kept
above water for some time. In the midst of
her distress the American steamship Camilla,
from Palermo for New York, came in sight.
Her captain did not run away as fast as he
could when he was appealed to for assistance.
To be sure he was not in command of a rival
steamer trying to carry the mails at a decent
rate of speed, but still he might have found
an excuse for refusing help, for the weather
was extremely boiiiterous. Instead of adopt
ing this inhuman course, he took the passen
gers of the Venezuela on board, and brought
them to New York in Bafety. The captain
and crew of the British steamship declared
they would stand by their vessel to the last
and there is too much reason to fear that
they have lost their lives by so doing. They
were brave and faithful men, and if they
have perished their fate will awaken sympathy
ana regret wherever the story ot it is heard.
IfoWe are approaching the season of the year
wnen many tnousanas ot Americans travel in
toreign steamships, it is ol great conse
quence that we should understand whether
the policy is henceforth to be adopted of
passing unheeded vessels in distress. If so,
it will not be of much use for any ship in
peril to keep in the beaten track. We prefer
to nope that the cases we have recently heard
of are only exceptions, and will be regarded
rather in the light ol a warning than an ex
ample by the great body of seafaring men.
ARE WE INGRATES?
From the AT. Y. World.
General Sherman's letter in regard to Mr.
Logan's bill compares the moneys which he
received at the time he was commanding
Mr. Logan, and a hundred thousand other
better and worse men, with the Balary of the
Duke of Wellington's secretary. Thence
General Sherman infers tho ingratitude of
republics.
lhe inference is illegitimate. Has Gene
ral Sherman forgotten the tokens of the
nation's gratitude to Grant ? Are houses in
all the chief cities of the republio nothing ?
Are horses without number nothing? Are
wilderness of honorary saddles and an in
finitude of gratuitous boots, are free rides
and free dinners, are perpetual cigars not
to be reckoned, that we should be twitted
with neglecting our benefactor and turn
ing our superannuated Behsariuses out to
beg?
uut perhaps wo may find it in our minds
to forgive General Sherman, seeing that he
lives in Washington and not in Hew York.
Certainly there is no other city in the world
where the pecuniary rewards of public ser
vice are so numerous and so rich aB here
under the sway of universal suffrage. Take
Mweeci. wnen tuat great man first offered
himself for tho suffrages of his fellow-citizens
he was deep in debt. Notwithstanding this
drawback and the further fact that the direct
income of the places which he has tilled is
barely sufficient for a comfortable mainte
nance, Mr. Iweed relied upon the Generosity
and right feeling of his fellow-citizens to
make good to him the losses which he sus
tained by devoting himself to their service
instead of his private emolument, lie scorned
to count tho cost when the commonwealth
demanded his devotion. The event has proved
mat lie uas not trusted in vmn.
Mr. Tweed's native modesty shrinks from
blazoning abroad tho exuet extent of his pre
sent wealth, or the exact means by which it
was acquired. Iiis sensitive soul revolts even
at the partial publicity of the income list
We are tossed upon the boundless ocean of
conjecture, lint we do know from his own
reluctant lips that this publio servant, who
entered the publio service a bankrupt, has
become, iy au entire abandonment of him.
self to the publio good, "one of the largest
taxpayers in new luru. llis lnlluenoe is co
extensive with his cash. Tho docile Legisla
ture sits at Lis feet, aB Saul at the feet of Ga
maliel, and waits, in reverent inactivity, for
ins signal oeiore proceeuing to action.
"Turned by his nod the stream of honor flows;
Ills smllo ulcmu security bestows."
Are we to ignore so shining an example of
the gratitude ot repuuuesr Does not Mr.
Tweed's palace in town, Mr. Tweed's villa in
the country, Mr. Tweed's sumptuous stables,
and Mr. Tweed's numerous stud, as plainly
show forth the gratitude of New York to its
Tweed as does Blenheim the gratitude of
England to Marlborough, or Strathfieldsayo
to Wellington?
It is true that theKo substantial tributes to
the virtues and genius of Mr. Tweed were
not made over to him with the formal pomp
with which British honors were paid to
British beuef actors. But it is incontestable
that they were equally derived from his
constituency. The exact manner of the ope
ration we cannot in all cases know. We only
know that Mr. Tweed's strictly olflolal remu
neration is abmirdlv inadequate for the main
tenance of Mr. Tweed's personal glories.
We are left to imagine how grateful constitu
ents, overcomo by their feeling, falling
upon the neck of Tweed, surreptitiously in
sert chocks for vast amounts in his waistcoat
pockets. We are driven to hypothecate de
putations of the taxpayers of New York wait
ing upon Mr. Tweod with the title-deeds of
mansions and pediarrees of horses, and the
shrinking violet Tweod bogging them to par
don his rosy blushes, ond lor his Hako to
forbear making public montion of their act.
Upon no other supposition is it possible to ac
count for the rapid und astonishing growth of
J. weed.
There is another protended explanation of
the phenomenon of Tweed, but we montion
it only to spurn it with horror and disgust.
It Is that Mr. Tweod has prostitutod his pub
lic employments to his private ends. In fact,
some envious persons have gone so far as to
say that Mr. Tweod has, by various more or
less circuitous processes, swindled the city
which his political eminence ia it disgraces
out of tho whole of his fortune. In confuta
tion of such sneers, it is only necessary to
point out that Mr. Tweed's course has mot
tho unqualified approval of his constituency,
to which alone ho is responsible. Ho has
been chosen and chosen again to every one
of the comparatively humble public functions
to which ho has aspired. We are asked to
accept the incredible assumption that tho
voters and tax-payors ol tho city ol New lorK
are so stupidly vicious that they insist upon
renewing the reposal of betrayed trusts, and
granting olhce to a man whose whole incum
bency of it has boon spent in the successful
effort of devising new modes for swindling
them.
No ! Mr. Tweed's wealth is honorable
wealth, and it proves that republics are not
ungrateful- Yhcn forugn royalists point us
to the V elhngtons and the Marlboroughs on
whom
"Lavish honor showered all her stars.
And atlluent fortune emptied all hr horn,"
with the stale old sneer, we can hereafter
briefly confute them by proudly pointing to
our Tweed.
THE
REPUBLICANS OF
DELAWARE
JUSTIFIED.
From the Wilmington (Del) Commercial.
The Republicans of Delaware have in the
present situation of affairs anew proof of that
which none of them should ever dare to doubt
namely, that a just principle, earnestly
advocated, is sure to triumph
When the Republican Convention of this
State, at Dover, in April, 1803, adopted a
resolution calling for the amendment of the
.National (Jonstitution, ly such moasure as
would "secure impartial suffrage throughout
the republio, it was a step boldly aad reso.
lutely taken, in advance of the general pro
gress not only of the people at large but
even of the Republican party. It was a step
of no ordinary character for a "border State
to take. In so radical a proposition we
were almost alone, with Maryland. Even
Massachusetts, at her convention of that year,
Bat under the conservative influence of men
like Richard Henry Dana, Jr., and gave
no word of endorsement to tho demand
which had been made for a constitutional
amendment. Worse still, at the National
Convention at Chicnoo the platform framed
placed its heel, as if purposely, upon all such
propositions, and declared, with an incon
sistent absurdity that stamped the name of
political unfaithfulness on its face, that while
the guarantee of suffrage must be maintained
in the lately rebellious States, in those that
were loyal, the question "belonged to the
people of each, separately. The representa
tive of Delaware on the committee that
framed this resolution (Hon. N. B. Smithers)
raised no voice against this most scandalous
departure from the broad ground of pnnct
pie, and the action of our State stood, in the
presence of the National Convention, as
though rebuked and silenced.
But, as we have already said, there oan be
no permanent repression to the cause of jus
tice, lhe work commenced in .Delaware
scarcely paused by this untimely interruption.
When Congress met,its first care was to frame
and propose just such an amendment as the
"Ihird Dover Kesolution had plead lor, se
curing impartial suffrage everywhere in the
nation. Late in the session it was passed by
both houses, with the requisite two-thirds
majority, and when the President came to de
liver his brief but most comprehensive inau
cural address, he entertained the hope and
expressed the desire that the sun rage ques
tion might now be settled, forever, on the
basis of justice, by the ratification of the
nrnnosfifl nmfiTirlnifiTit.
r. s..
'Ihus was the movement made national,
and placed first by Congress, and then by the
Executive Department ot me Government,
within the scope of the declared purposes of
the Republican party. The radical action of
Delaware was not only sanctioned but
adopted, and written on the banners under
which three millions of American voters
marched. The seed sown by our Delaware
Convention bad sprung so soon, in spite of
the unfriendly storms of Chicago, into so
ereat a tree that the whole party were will
insr to come beneath its branches. This, we
say again, not because of Delaware s influ
ence as a State, but because the position we
took was the true one. We had Btripped the
political situation of that time, and dared to
speak of it as it really was. Our "Ihird Re
solution" was the truth boldly spoken, and
hence it has triumphed.
In the light of to-day, with this great
measure of enfranchisement approve 1 by
thirty States of the Union, we have taken
the eccasion to thus reioice. Not only Con
gress and the President, but every Republi
can Commonwealth, has joined in approval of
the amendment. Never were any set of men
more fully justified by time and the progress
of great events than the KepuDiicans oi Dela
ware. They took the field first; they never
left it: they find now their early plan of
action, then denounced as rash and prema
ture, not only adopted by their party, and
not only accomplished as a fact, but written
forever on the broad page of the republic's
Constitution, and regarded oy a groat nation
with pride and joyful approval. Thus does
the nooduess of God sanction and crjwn
with success the effort in behalf of Jus
lice and Truth, no matter from what souroe
it comes.
TnE REBEL RAID BILL.
Fnm th llarrixhurg Topic
The bill commonly known throughout the
State as the "Rebel Raid" an appropriate
name was killed in the House. Only
sixteen men could be induced to cast
their votes for the measure, and the seventy.
three who voted against it did so because
they believed the almost universal feeling
of the people was decidedly against it. The
bill is dead, we hope, beyond resurreotion,
and it ia well. If it had passed the House it
oiiKht to Lave been defeated in tno bonate.
And if it had passed both houses it would
have put tho Executive to tho puinlul neaos
sity of vetoing it. There is nothing like
putting down a Rebel raid on its first appear
ance. It discourages further efforts, ftnd
gives the people some assurance that they
will not flfaiu be tilaood on tho iinxious Rtool
nervously waiting to seo themselves robbed.
Iho bill was radically wrong. It paid cer
tain individuals for persona! losses at the
hands of a publio enemy, while millions who
lost more than these people on the border
wero to be left in tho cold, with scarcely a
word of sympathy. We say there were mil
lions of good an (1 loyal men and womou in
this nation and thousands in Pennsylvania
who suffered far moro than out fellow-citizens
along tho tout hern borders. They were
fathers and mothers, and sisters and brothers,
and sons ond daughters, whoso tears of trrief
for the losses of those near and dear to thorn
on tho sunny but bloody battle-fields of the
South and in tho filthy prison pens of a
barbarous and inhuman enemy, have
been allowed quietly to tricklo down
the cheeks of living, agonizinct lovers
of their country, whose only consolation ia
that all they had, all they loved most dearly,
all that was given tneni by a good God for
companionship, support and sympathy, they
sacrificed for their own great nation. The
losses on the border are paltry, mean and
ridiculously insignificant compared to those
heart-losses which can never, never, never be
repaired. What is the loss of a horse to the
loss of a human life? What is the loss of a
hen-coop to the loss of a brother? What
is tho burning of a house to the killing
oi a latner r now ridiculous these
border claims appear when you com
pare them to the souls of gallant
men gone to eternity in protecting and de
fending these people s habitations and per
sonal property! When we review the ques
tion in the true aspect in which it should
present itself, we feel certain that the sensible
people on our bonthern borders will them
selves indignantly repudiate the idea of
claiming indemnity from the people of Penn
sylvania for losses and mishaps which they
know to be the common losses and mishaps
of the whole nation from the lakes to the
gulf.
lhe bill is dead and Uod be praised, lie-
quicacat in face!
THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION AND
THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
Frtm the S. Y. Sun.
The Secretary of State has issued his pro
clamation, and ine mceentn amendment is a
part of the Constitution. Negroes can now
vote everywhere on the same terms as whites.
The first State in which the amendment will
be put into practical operation is Connecticut.
This opens a glorious field for the display of
strategy on the part of the Demooracy. The
contest in that Slate is sharp, and probably a
thousand votes will turn the scale. There are
about fifteen hundred colored electors in the
land of steady habits. The Democracy are
hard pressed from Kye Neck to Stomngton
Point. Let them make a bold stroke for the
negro vote, and carry it, or even half of it,
and their victory is sure.
President Grant, contrary to all precedent,
and without the slightest authority from the
Constitution, has issued a congratulatory pro
clamation over the event of the ratification.
This is intended to help Governor Jewell.
Now, let Governor English, in his own behalf,
conntercheck this movement of the Republi
cans by issuing a proclamation congratulating
the negroes ot Connecticut upon their admis
sion to the ballot-box. It will secure his eleo-
tion, and make him a prominent candidate
for the Presidency. He may thus take the
wind out of Senator Hendricks sails, who, in
his New Orleans speech, showed that he is
trimming his canvas to catch 1)00,000 nigger
votes.
There is no time for delay. If Governor
English hesitates, let Messrs. Eaton and
Burr of Hartford, Mr. Walker of New Lon
don, the eloquent Democratic candidate for
Secretary of State, and Mr. T. L. Parinelee of
New Haven, a man of first-rate common
sense, bring him to the scratch at once. If
Governor Lnglish will do this, his congratu
lations oi tne great J. weed, at Albany, on
Monday, will be returned by Big Six in per
son on iuesday next.
WE GIVE IT UP.
FVcmi the Cleveland Leader.
For the past month we have studied the
daily Associated Press reports, we have porei
over the Wtrla, the Litizcn, the xnbune.
the Brooklyn Eagle, and the Albany Journal
to keep pace with the political situation of
New Yoik. We have heard of rings being
smashed, of Tweed being sent to his country
Beat to rusticate, we have seen the World and
the Citizen strike bands, and declare that all
rings must, should be, and in fact had been
eternally crushed. Dictionaries had been
searched and letters of inquiry written to
find out precisely what was implied by "silk-
stocking Democracy," "cheese-press and hay
loft Democracy, "rough-and-ready Demo
cracy," and all the other varieties. Just as it
appeared that the rings were valiantly
Bmashed, and everything was lovely, there
comes the news that the hay loft and cheese
press faction uniting with the dastardly Re
publicans have given tho rest of thorn a
Waterloo del eat, but upon what question, or
with what result, we doubt if any sane man
west of Albany can explain.
To add to tho confusion, Aow lork is now
running on her seventh charter within three
weeks. Every man in the Albany Assembly
seems franlio to immortalize himself by
giving the great metropolis a charter from his
own pen. Three new charters in one day is
a light yield, and the crop often reaches a
dozen. The only parallel to this legislative
hilkc nnv hciht is to be at present tound in
Cincinnati, where five newspapers are strug
gling through daily columns of brevier to de
monstrate which has the largest circulation,
who gets the sheriff's printing, who wrote the
"Red Haired Maiden of the Big Miami," and
whether the Republicans, the Democrats, the
Independents, the Reformers, the Indepen
dent Reformers, or the "ring" should be
allowed to elect members of the Board of
Education and control the city printing and
paving contracts. All this may be very line
for Cincinnati and New York, but for the
outside barbarians who read newspapers from
those cities it is loo much much too much.
