JENKINS AND TIIH BRUNETTE3. From the Chicago Pott. Dancing has long been in favor as a soml rdigious rite. Miriam worked off Lor aaper floons piety by f risking and gamboling along the sand of the lied Baa, and David Rliuilled around the ark to tho great mortification of Michal, one of his nnmeroun femnle attaches, who told him plainly that he ought to be ashamed of himself for nutting up in that manner. In the old Oreek choruses, all the population of the cities turned out to join in the breakdown before their partionlar god; and even the distinguinhed Jupiter is said to Lave hhftken a leg, when he felt good, on more than one occasion. The monastic) dervishes express their woe by swinging part ners and crying "all hands round!" and the shambling Bhakers show their emotion by a motion crooking their elbows, ducking their beads, and agitating their lower extremities to propitiate the divine wrath. Our oolored brethren are a dreadfully imi tative race, and it is natural enough that they dhould copy the practice of devout dancing. In Omaha, Nebraska, instead of celebrating he fifteenth amendment evening by prayer nnd praise and solemn genuflexions, they em ployed 'a band consisting of five pieoos," and whUed the night away in antics saltatory, ro atory, and also, it appears, amatory. In Chicago they prayed and proached; in Omaha they pranced and promenaded. The knee was bent vertically instead of horizontally. And the faithful Jenkins was there he is always just where we want him! with his eagle eye and his inkstand full of delicious descriptions. They met, he says, "to enjoy such an even ing as is only to be enjoyed through the me dium of the giddy mazes of Terpsichore." That is handsomely Eaid. It shows learning. The hall was "tastily decorated" by "a com mittee of ladies and gentlemen who had been appointed for the purpose, and presented a fine appearance." At an early hoar coaches brought "ike elite oi the colored population of the city to the soene of joy. Among the fine turnouts we saw," continues the genial Jenkins, "was the dashing affair of Mr. John eon and the stately equipage of Mr. Smith." Jenkins has completely conquered his preju dices, as the great Webster adjured us all to do only in just the opposite direction. He knows his duty, and goes straight at it. "The scene quite reminded us," he oonf esses, "of the opening night of the Italian Opera in New York, or a pleasant July evening at Long Branch." And Jenkins is a judge. lie fre quently gets enraptured sometimes ecstatio but he never loses his self-possession. "At about the usual hour, the hall being well filled, the tuning of instruments was heard." There seems to have been admirable order. Everything was done at its proper time. The clarionet and the fantastic fiddle were not allowed to "jangle out of tune and Larsh." But we have not yet come to the interesting part. We will hurry past the brilliant account of the operation of selecting partners, and the paying "of a thousand attentions by the gentlemen to their respec tive sweethearts," because we consider the latter not legitimate as a feature of a religious dance. Jenkins noticed "several costumes that are veil worthy of mention," and he stood in a corner of the room and took notes as the sable seraphs flitted by. "Mrs. Luker was attired in a beautiful white silk dress, finely fitted to her handsome form with leather colored gloves and a beautiful general ap pearance." We cannot imagine anything neater. Leather-colored gloves to sot off a white silk dress a delightful contrast, like well, say like autumn leaves and snow flatter ing down togother on a black loam. "Mrs. Cash was very similarly attired, and none the less exquisite in her make-up and figure." Jenkins is mathematically inclined; he has a lynx eye for figures. Here he goes again: "Mrs. Withiers wore a black pique dress with a white stripe and black kid gloves. Her hair was nicely dressed, and with her tall, queenly figure, she looked quite a Venus." The Venus here so elegantly referred to is not the Medicean, who had only one leg and one arm, and couldn't have swung partners; nor the planetary Venus, who has no satellites, whereas Mrs. Withiers had several; but Venus Aphrodite, the wife of Vulcan, who, as she ia known to have been born in the from of the Black Sea, was undoubtedly a colored person at the very least an ootoroon. Jenkins goes on. to declare that Mrs. Frank Burns, "who is of a really polished f tamp, was another of the greatly observed;" that several others were "quite stylish and dressed in the best of style;" and that "Mrs. ltobinson, very much inclined to embonpoint, and extremely graceful, -with a beautiful, mild expression, and fine mould of feature. was, in the abstract, second to no lady i the room. Jenkins is delightful, but we cannot follow him entirely through the mazy. His first attempt to work up polished ebony is un doubtedly a conspicuous success, and ear new citizens are to be congratulated that the fif teenth amendment has not only given them justice at the ballot-box, but Jenkins in the ball-room. THE INCOME TAX. From, the Toledo EUde. The wealthy capitalists of the East are now using the press vigorously - to denounce the resolution of the Senate to continue in force the lnoome tax, with the exemption increased and the rate of tax reduced to three per cent. During, and immediately after the war, the tendency to severe and sweeping tax laws was quite extreme, and now a tide sets in from an opposite quarter, which threatens to be quite as extreme on the other side. The time has come doubtless when duties on imports of a certain character should be taken off or greatly reduced, when larger exemptions and reduced rates should be introduced into our Internal revenue system, but we are not yet out'of the wilderness of debt far enough to relieve the classes most able to bear taxation of all burdens of the Government. Tho in come tax ' reaches only the rich and coin pels tribute irom snrewa ana craity men who so shape and contrive their invest' merit" as to escape all other modes 'of taxation. Are we prepared to exempt the wealthy bondholder, for instance, who devotes his industry and enterprise solely to the business of clipping his coupons semi annually and collecting his gala thereon? Every one knows there are men who build no business, nouses or dwellings for putmo ao commodation, who invest in no manufactures. who lend no capital to assist needy men of business, who run no risks, and confer no benefits on the community, and who buy bonds chiefly because of their entire safety and freedom from taxation, who can never be reached exoept through a tax on their annnalincomes. Shall this claua be favored with complete and absolute immunity and exemption from their share of the debts of the Government ? The Deruocratio press is joining in the cry against the income tax as it does against very measure oalonlated to give efficiency to the Government, but in case the party in power accede to their demand in this par ticular, how shall we answer Demoorats in coming election campaigns, when they shall charge us with taxing the whole country to fatten and enrich a bond-holding aristooracy, who are by law wholly exempted from taxa tion ? What can the party in power respond to such an accusation as this ? The New York Independent asks if Sena tors are aware that the war is over, that peaoe has been declared, and that last year 100,000,000 of the war debt was paid off ? We may ask, in reply, does not the Tnde. pendent know that as yet a mere shaving of the war debt has been removed, and that we have only fairly begun to establish the credit of the Government on an enduring basis ? The burden should, doubtless, be lightened all round, but it is not just, now or ever, to make exemptions in favor of any wealthy class, especially of the bondholders, against whom it is so easy to raise a popular clamor, and who already have too large a privilege in this direction. While the poor man's tea, eoffoo, tobacco, and sugar are taxed, while many article of clothing, food, and luxury used by the labor ing clauses are made to pay tribute to the Government, we are not at liberty to spare the inoomes of the very wealthy from mode rate taxation. Let tariff and tax rates be thoroughly revised let the inoome tax be reduced equally with imposts and excise du ties, but let the classes reached by this tax be compelled to do something for the Govern ment until the burden of the war debt is re moved. It is easy for the rich men of the East to use the columns of the Independent, Tribune, end Herald to promote their own interests and to threaten political ruin if their demands are not acceded to. But the work ing classes have a right to insist on being first in order for relief. When they breathe easier their richer neighbors may oall out for relief with greater propriety and consistency. TILTON'S LITTLE GAME. From the X. Y. World. For some time past our happy country has been blessed with two rival woman-suffrage associations, each one claiming to be the only genuine, and denouncing the other as an imi tation and an imposture. This state of things naturally vexed the charitable soul of Mr. Ineodore Tilton. It was a direct violation of the peaceful precepts of the moral Watts, who, though he urged the propriety of non-inter vention in the case of dog-fights, on the ground that dogs and cats were expressly cre ated for fighting purposes, strongly insisted that the little hands of babes and women should never be permitted to tear anybody's eyes out. Wherefore Mr. Tilton determined to put a stop to the disputes of the rival associ ations; and so, taking to himself two other peacemakers more peaceful than himself, he summoned the rivals to meet him and lay down their arms. Six persons of various sexes, three of whom represented one association, while the other three constituted themselves the represen tatives of the other, accordingly met Mr. Tilton and his two backers at one of our hotels. But, in spite of Mr. Tilton's exhor tations, they made no progress towards union, jacn party was quite willing to ab sorb the other, but each stoutly refused to be absorbed. And so, after everybody had written his or her opinion on slips of paper, after the fashion of children who play at "con sequences," and after it was found, on reading these opinions, that everybody believed that everybody else was frightfully in the wrong, tbree of the delegates seoeued, and Iett the other six to follow the devices and desires of their own wilful Tilton. Which devioes immediately manifested themselves in the shape of a plan for a new woman-suffrage association, which was disgorged from tne Tiltonian pocket as soon as the seceders had departed. This plan met with the warm ap probation of Mr. Tilton, and was enthu siastically adopted by him, bis five com panions yielding an easy consent to his elo quent proposal, and immediately electing him to all the offices of the new association. Thus did Mr. Tilton triumphantly carry out his purpose of uniting the two existing asso ciations by the sudden establishment of a bird. But, strange to say, there are certain bigoted persons who fail to see that the founding of a new association has brought tne mends of woman sunrage into any closer union than exist-sd while there were only two rival bodies. These narrow-minded persons even go further, and impute to Mr. Tilton tne vaulting ambition of a seeker atter omoe, and assert that he has organized a new association merely for the pleasure of being its president. This view that amiable reformer indignantly rejects, and insists that he has practically accomplished the union which he professed to advocate, inasmuch as the origi nal rivals have only to disband their organi zations and to join his own private association in order to render the union of all the friends of woman suffrage complete. However this may be, the merely masculine world is de lighted to see a third division in the ranks of the aggressive females. The opponents of female suffrage point scornfully at the three hostile bodies into which the party of women's rights is now divided, and ask if this is a specimen of tne capacity ox women tor or ganized and effective political action. And the wrath of the veterans of the woman suffrage cause is kindled against the unfor tunate Tilton, who meddled only to mar, and who, by rashly plaoing himself in a position so conspicuous and splendid as that of the head of an association of six distinct and eparate persons, has made himself the mark for the Bbaits of rival reformers, who, but for the temptation of shooting at him, might have poured their fire into the common enemy. THE EEV. MR. FROTniNGHAM'S IDEAS ON THE RESURRECTION. Prom the K T. Uerald. The most remarkable reunions disooarse delivered within this metropolitan district on Sunday was that at Lyrio IlalL of the Rev. O. B. Frothingham. Recent events have brought him into bold relief among the new scnooi oi ruruan aooiors 01 uiviniiy as an expounder of the mysteries of Christian free love and spiritual affinities. The discourse in question, like all the other sermons of the day, was on tne resurreotion a texi, now ever, which this belligerent dispenser of the Gospel of peaoe oouia not retrain irom per verting to the condign punishment of his supposed enemies. He said, for instance, that "some men nav. almost all men noia seinsu views in relation to immortality and the resurreotion, as if it was their inalienable right, and that they would go to heaven no matter what was their condition and status in this life. "It was only the other day," he remarked, in illustration of this human weakness, "that a poor wretch imbrued in the blood of one of bis fellow-men, who regarded not life, and who killed another poor man with no more compunction than he would have shot a deer, went out to be exeouted, and as be went by the cells he shook hands with another, and they both said they would rest in the bosom of their God. And then," said this benevolent ' teacher of Christian charity, "think not of the caricature of this, but of the blasphemy." Did he forget that the excellent institution of purgatory, where the sinner of the darkest crimes may be purged and purified by fire and then released to a better state of exist ence did this horrified divine forgot that here we have a provision whioh takes away all the alleged blasphemy of this reported earthly farewell between Jack Reynolds and Daniel McFarland? We fear that Brother Fxothingham is a believer in the eternal roasting of the offender against his peculiar faith. We have no complaint to make of this preacher's denunciations of the gods or god desses of "fashion, drink, and debauchery," as tho gods mostly worshipped at this day. We agree with him that "many things ought to be changed;" that "drink should not be allowed to men to make beasts or murderers of themselves;" and that "the press, if things were changed, would not be allowed to insult people, and corporations, and everything, with their bold calumny of unoeasing asper sions;" but that "the sweetness and blessed ness of the marriage relation should bo con sidered with a view to its bettor development" is a proposition which, coming from this reverend gentleman, is open to the suspicion of free love and free-love leave to the Oneida community of the Rev. Doctor Noyes, where all things, including husbands and wives, are held in common. But the most remarkable feature of this very extraordinary sermon is this that while it has for its text the sublime theme of the resurrection, it is in reality a rambling dis sertation on the opinions and personal grievances of the Rev. Mr. Frothingham in reference to the Richardson-McFarland case. His mind is filled with it and his wrath is great. Hence his allusion to the blasphemy involved in the farewell between poor Jack Reynolds and McFarland; hence his passing side blow at the press for its "insults to people, and corporations, and everything," and its "bold calumny of unceasing aspersions;" and hence bis peculiar philosophy on "the sweetness and blessedness of the marriage relation." The friends of this exasperated and thick-headed free-love parson ought to take charge of him; for otherwise there is no telling the extremes to which his strange notions and foolish rage may carry him. He is not fit, in his present condition, to preach the gospel. THE FREE-LOVE LADIES' LETTERS IN THE McFARLAND TRIAL. From the Boston l'ost. Next to the clerical scenes which have been sketched on the sombre background of this tragedy, the ragout presented the jury, which is compounded of the bumptious, conspiring, moralizing, dramatic, and rebellious letters from Mr. Greeley's female literary associates to the wife of the prisoner, is for its almost indescribable qualities beyond the reach of parallel. One hunts his library shelves in vain to find a proper match for these dia bolically devised hand-grenades for exploding all domestio peace and social morality. There are the "Lettres Farisiennes" of Madame de Girardin; there is Madame de Stael on Rousseau; there are Madame Sevigne, Lady btannope in memoir, Miss Mitford, Mrs. Child, Madame Recamier, Mrs. Trol- lope, Fanny Wright, Hannah More, and George band one in letters. another in memoirs, and all in personal sketches and practical biography. But until the world beheld the passionate twinkle of the Calhoun addresses to the mother of Mo Farland's innocent little boys, adjuring her to be constant to her noble womanhood and re ligious in her rebelliousness, to look to the stage and to pew No. 89 in the Rev. Mr. Frothingham's church, to borrow her "pana cea, Kichardson, and play the "Queen, if she can, to Edwin Booth's "Hamlet," to be duly mindful of her personal attractions in a "beautiful voice, "changing color, "vary ing, soulful face," and "freshness of nature" until this new illumination dawned in the world of feminine letters, we have really had nothing worth speaking of in a line of literary effort, left untouched for want solely of true Tribune inspiration. "buch larks, rip! Aha, and, indeed, "such larks, Pip I" Now. who is Pip, and what are larks ? And her purse is wide open for the yet loyal little wife, when its owner is studying that impossible art in female econo my, doing without a new dress for another year. And her home is all ready for the tempted and distracted little mother to nee to from a loving husband, and there be at rest. And she is going to do some extra literary work, to the extent of $75, such as showing up the utter hollowness and corruption of home influences and domestic affections, out of which trophy of brain-labor she will de fray the cost of a visit, with accompaniments in keeping with the errand that quickens her steps. And a pair of loving arms are all open and waiting to give the bewildered little woman such tight-fitting blessings as she can not hope to pull off with her garments as long as she lives. Such a friend is not to be caught for the shaking of every bush. Her intent is to gobble her np and carry her off bodily. To carry her off bodily to "Mr. RichardBon." She has spotted the prize; her covetous arms are outstretched; her decoy is the continued call, "my darling," "my darling;" her purse is free; her home doors are open; and "Mr. Richardson" stands all ready to "find a way into smooth paths" for her. Very smooth are these verdure-clad paths to the eye of unoorrupted innocence, and verj swift the descent to the preoipioe whither all of them conduct. And all along by the way, only flowers blossoming thickly, inviting grottoes and sylvan recesses, mossy matting for little feet, the music of dripping waters, and "suoh larks, Pip!" The end is the ashes of every hope of hap piness. The distraught little wife and mother cannot but be overwhelmed with such wretchedness as her heart never dreamed of. Her husband's life is in the hands of a jury of twelve men. Her children enter on the world with such a black shadow aoross their inno cent vision as will never lift itself and release them. The one for whom all this wicked plotting was hatched has died by the insane violence he did not scruple to defy. All these trumpet-tongued letters proclaim the whole of the criminal secret to the world. The cause and effect are too close together to let the seasonable lesson be lost between. Even Mr. Greeley cannot swear down the force of these letters. A DEVILISH D. D. From the Ecuton Argue. In the published proceedings of the Pitts burg Convention, to whose deliberations we referred in our article of last week, upon "God in the Constitution," we find it re ported that one Dr. Page (a D. D.) declared "that if Christianity was not incorporated into the Constitution a religious war would be inevitable. As for himself, old as he was he was ready for the conflict, and if it is to come, the sooner the better." (Applause.) Bah I Page would no doubt like to see fighting, but he would like other people to do it. This kind of boasting and threatening is cheap stuff and also very nasty. We had plenty of it during the war, when nine-tenths of the pulpits of the land wore devoted to bloody instructions, which the reverend gen tlemen who gave them prudently declined to Eut in practice in their own persons. We ave no doubt that Page was a loud then as he was the other day at Pittsburg. lint, greedy as he was for gore, the old ass liked the plenteous fodder and the soft bedding of bis ecclesiastical stall better than the touted field and the roar of battle, and staid at home to bray and blaspheme to coax candy money from the pockets of children into his hungry hat to stimulate young men to enlist and young women to hemstitch his handkerchiefs and hold fairs and donation-parties to re plenish his larder and wardrobe. Oat upon such blatherskites and impostors as this Page (D. D. forsooth!) and the creatures who applaud him. Ministers of the Prince of Peace they claim to be, and coolly discuss and anticipate with open delight the chances of what they call "a religious war." When such varlets demand pay and got it for preaching tne Gospel of Jesus, they are guilty, clearly, of obtaining money under false pretenses, and ought to be indicted like common rogues whose cravats are not white, and sent to cool their heels and chew their politics in the County jail. 6EWINQ MACHINES.
