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.
