2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY 2. 1870 snn.iT or tub mass. Editorial Opinions of theLeadingJournals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. WANTED, A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY. Frm the X. Y. Sun. As long as Qeorge II. Thomas was alive, the Republicans hml a sure candidate for the election of 172, No other man could have beaten him. , The manses of the people were for him: the radicals honored and trusted him, and the conservatives would have ral lied around hint with enthiiHianm. His nomi nation would have been equivalent to his election. Siuce the death of this wildered leaders of the great man the be l&epublican party have been vainly scanning tho roll of their Presidential aspirants for a name to fill the I)lace made void by the fall of Thomas. The ist has become hackneyed and stale, and bears the name of no HtateHtnan who has any such hold upon the confidence of the people as the crisis demands. Same shallow politi cians believe that Grant will be taken; but no disinterested person with sense in his noddle supposes that Grant can be available. Gene ral Grant himself, of course, does not think anything is the matter with his prospects; and what dispenser of patronage, breathing the incense of adulation, ever could be made to see that his role was played out, till the fall of the remorseless curtain that fihut out all hope lor the future? Franklin Fieroe, rather a shrewd politician, and not over san guine, could not be made to believe that the Democracy were not going to renominate him until tne telegraph told him that his rote in the Cincinnati Convention had dwindled down to 4. The flattery of o (Bee-holders and office-beggars has addled brains a great ileal larger and clearer than Grant's. In this condition of affairs a singular change is coming over the minds of the more intelligent and prudent members of the Re publican party. They are turning their eyes back to their ancient champion, Salmon P. Chase! For a year or two past Chief Justice Chase has been counted as a Democrat. In the impeachment of Andrew Johnson he broke with the extreme radicals, and thereby did the Republican party a service which all sensible men among them will now acknow ledge. But this does not constitute the rea son why thoughtful Republicans are led to inquire whether it would not be better to make friends with Judge Chase once again, with a view to running him for President in 1S72. The fact is that on the essential doc trine of RepublicaniHiu, as it stands to-day, there is no man in the country sounder than Judge Chase. He is a Republican, and not a Democrat. We mean, of course, the great principle of universal suffrage as set forth in the fifteenth amendment. Opposition to that principle a considerable body of clamorous, stupid old Bourbons, who have nicknamed themselves Democrats, propose to make the main issue in the next Presidential campaign; and who so fit to lead the Republicans in such a fight as Salmon P. Chase? But even this does not constitute the most . powerful among the motives which are lead ing so many intelligent Republicans to look to the Chief Justice as a possible candidate for 1872. The great reason is that Judge Chase can certaudy be elected. This renders the movement we are speaking of one of the most interesting ever developed in our politi cal history. It may not result in the actual nomination of the Chief Justice by the Re publican party, because there are plenty of Bourbons in that organization as well as among the Democracy. But it affords a most impressive illustration of the present rather chaotic state of politics among us, and of the scarcity of commanding talent and popu lar availability, that any number of Republi cans should perceive that they cannot possi bly be so safe with any other candidate as with the ChW Justice. PAREPA-ROSA AND THE CHICAGO ORPHANS. JVoti thn Cleveland Leader. The Chicago papers seem quite out of hu mor with Madame Parepa-Rosa because that lady recently declined to sing in opera for the benefit of an orphan asylum in that city. Mr. Hess, her agent, explained, upon convey ing the refusal, that Madame Rosa was hoarse and overworked, and that though she felt very kindly toward Chicago, she was at pre sent compelled to decline. At this the papers have very ill-naturedly reminded Parepa of the fine audiences which Chicago has always turned out to listen to her, and suggests that gratitude for such earnest appreciation should have taught the great eantatrioe to have yielded to so slight a request. None of these malcontents seem to remember that if Parepa has enjoyed large audiences everywhere, she has given more as an equivalent than any singer Chicago has ever heard. The Garden City is not given to investing its currency lavishly without tolerably certain prospects of a profitable re turn, and this principle obtains in music as well as brnk stock and real estate. While, therefore, it would have been a gracious act for Madame Rosa to have sung for the or phans, it was a matter in which she was fully untitled to act her own pleasure without being abused for it. Cfrcugo has no better right to blackmail a singer or au actor than Republi can election committers have to demand of their local newspapers unlimited free printing and advertising on the ground that Republi cans are the leading subscribers to those papers. Just as every good newspaper gives to its subscriber his money's worth, so Parepa gives a full equivalent to the audiences wno buy seats at her entertainment. If the news paper Bees fit to advertise, or the eantatrice to sing, for charitable purposes, that is their own affair. In either case, it is a free gift which no one has a right to abuse them for giving or not giving. WANTED A POLICY. From the Baltimore American. With Andrew Johnson expired the policy of modern Democracy. That "humble individual" had one, but it failed to secure from loss those who took a lien upon it but it is baldly generous to revive such reoollec tions. At present our good Democratic brethren are sorely posed. They want some thing to insure them, and a risk on the life of the party is what no company, not even one of the buckram, curbstone new ones, who will do almost anything for the sake of . business, will take. As for one against five, there is a conviction that too much whiskey lies around loose for risk, and an accidental is. out of the question. As 'for a marine policy, none is ever taken on Salt river craft. fceriously, it is to-day the most woe-begone specimen of a party that hag ever stood be fore the public It is muddled about finance. Its leaders would like to writo "repudiation," but dare not, for they know the temper of the men who must furnwh the money for their next campaign will not endure that. They know also that the taxation of United States bonds involves the same deadly paril. Tax the bonds of Belmont, Tweed, Hoffman A Co., and who will pay for the drinks in No vember, 1872 ? And without drinks but the possible contingency is frightful. It is almost as bad about the tariff. There is absolutely a hesitation about using the old war-cry of free trade. But the saddest muddle is the fifteenth amendment ! It is confusing to a degree in deed, to several degrees. 4 'Negro" cannot be spelled with "2 gs, ' and how else can they spell it? Is not that the ripe, traditional method ? Was it not the orthography of good old times, when they sold well and constituted the assets? Was it not the orthography of those conservators of the social status auc tioneers of men, and women, and babies? How give up that good old ripe not to say rotten method ? Next to the question of "g" or "gg" is Harris. Never, since the candle of Sairy Gamp went out, was there such a bother over the name Harris as there is this day in Maryland. He is now believed to have been the "hus band's brother" of Sairy's devoted friend whom she describes as "marked with a mad bull in Wellington boots on his left arm." And the mad bull is rampant. It is also be lieved there was a double "g" tattooed at the same time, for Sairy's husband said "Harris had it done afore marriage at ten and six, and wore it faithful next to his heart, until the color run, when the money was declined to be give back, and no agreement could be come to." What shall be done with Harris? If he is not to be sent to Congress, the true, staunch Democracy bolt. With them it is "2 gs and Harris," or nothing. If sent, the Conservatives, once sold and once betrayed, are outraged. For them Harris sings no JS wan-like notes. Harris is a representative man, and as Harris is dealt with, so are repre sentative men and representative questions disposed of by the ancient Democracy, which picturesquely stands with its back to the future and its face to the past. The American must come to Harris' aid; and does bo, ex pecting, of course, his gratitude. It would Bay confidentially to its many Democratic readers: Better take Harris. He is a thorough "2g" man. His position is clearly defined. Then you owe it to him. You know how and where he stood during the "late onpleasantness," and it will be ungrate ful to cast him overboard. Besides that, it will be more moral. It will be understood that the effort to secure the colored voter by bad whisky is abandoned. Better take Harris. It will be equivalent to giving up tho contest, and, though it will savor somewhat of a re treat with colors afloat, will yet leave the ground clear. By all means, Harris. It shows the "dispogician" to be ugly, but will amount to nothing, which will secure con sistency and harmlessness. To come back to "Policy," from which a diversion was made by Harris who, by the way, is just now the most diverting man in the country we urge the early adoption of a policy on this subject. We very well know that Democracy is not so blind as to mean armed resistance to the fifteenth amendment. But is it meant to defeat its operation by strategic foils ? To prevent registration ? Is it meant to Bet it aside by judicial decisions ? s it meant to carry, for instance, Maryland, by the aid of promises made to oolored voters, and then seek the rescinding of the amend ment and the remanding of the colored voter to vassalage, if not slavery ? In brief, np to the proclamation of the President, the entire Democratic party stood in avowed hostility to the amendment, and did its utmost to prevent its ratification. Does it occupy the same ground to-day? Colored voters, no more than white ones, can be driven with bandaged eyes. We are approaching a Congressional elec tion. It is time to learn where the parties agree and where they differ. The attitude of the Republican party is known. It needs no declaration of its purpose to carry out in good faith the intent of the fifteenth amendment. That is as well known as its unfaltering deter mination to pay off the national debt. How stand our Democratic friends ? The experience of 1864 and 18C8 ought to convince them that facing one way and row ing another don't pay at a time when the public conscience is sensitive as to its sol emnly incurred obligations and manifest du ties. Such a time is now and we serve the best interests of the once great and powerful Democratic party by asking a full and explicit avowal of its policy concerning the fifteenth amendment. THE FUTURE OF RAILROADS. From the X. Y. World. Governor Palmer, of Illinois, in a letter to the convention of farmers recently held at Bloomington, in that State, suggests a method by which the carrying business of railroads may be thrown open to the largest competition, without detriment to the com pany, and to the great benefit of the pro ducer. Tnis letter tne (Jnicago mount quotes, with extended and favorable com ment. The Governor's plan is not new in fact it is identical with that advocated by the late Liuman bherwood, wno died in this city a little more than a year ago. It may be briefly stated tnus: Inere is no necessary connection between the ownership and man agement ef a railroad ana the business ol a common carrier, and the same principles may be made to apply in its management which regulate the business of the turnpike and the canal. Railroad tracks may be converted "into common highways upon which all com peting parties wno choose may put and run their rolling stock, at such prices as they choose," paying the company for the use of the road and the motive power, thus giving rise to competition between the common carriers on the same road, in addition to the competition between the different roads. Illustrations of this system are not want. ing. The various express companies and the proprietors qf sleeping and drawing-room cars put on their own stock and maintain it at Heir own cost, paying the road only for the Uhe of tne track and the locomotives. On the street railroads in some cities, and for short distances at various points in this city, two or more companies run their cars on the same track, thus creating competition. ertatly conducive to the comfort and conve nience of the travelling public On some of the railroads in Pennsylvania the merchants doing business in the townB along the line have their own freight cars, whioh are switched off en to side tracks leading into their warehouses. The plan of the Illinois Governor would kive to this system the broadest application, by compelling the rail roads to admit all freight oars and coaches on terms equally favorable applying strictly the principle of the common law now applicable to turnpikes, femes, etc The general adoption of this suggestion would doubtless create au entire revolution in the freighting business of the' country, necessitating many minor changes in the management of railroads. The most obvious reiirement would be a uniform rate of cpeed for all trains, to prevent danger of accidents which would arise from the largely increased traffic. This, in time, would lead to the multiplication of tracks, so that rapid express and lumbering freight and cattle trains might go safely and securely over the name road, neither interfering with the busi ness or the safety of the other. A VERY IMPARTIAL MAN. From the X. Y. Time. Mr. Oliver Johnson, a writer in that pe culiarly "religious" paper, the Independent, testified on Thursday, on oath, that he con tributed one or two paragraphs to the Inde pendent on the subject of the MoFarland case a few days after the shooting occurred. He swore that those articles were not intended to take any particular side. Now let ns test this btfltement. In the Independent of December 0 there is a long article full of denunciations of McFar land, and apologies for his wife and Richard son. The shootiug was spoken of as a murder "perpetrated in cold blood. It bears all the deliberate evidences of malice afore thonoht. It was the fulfilment of a lone- harbored revenge," with much more to the br me effect. Is this what Mr. Johnson calls 'taking neither Bide ?" To most men it will seem like pronouncing a positive decision on every important issue in the case. The week folio wine; the assassination a long paragraph appeared in the Independent, in which Air. Richardson was described as a 'high-toned, honorable man," while of McFar- land the writer said, "he must be regarded simply as a murderer, and should be dealt with accordinolv. Is this what Mr. Oliver Johnson means by "taking neither side?" In the same article McFarland was called a "bloody-minded man;" and yet Mr. Oliver Johnson states on his oath that he was a friend of McFarland's, and did not write to prejudice the case. A letter of Mr. Oliver Johnson's was put in evidence, in which he applied to Mrs. Met arlond language which. in Holy Writ, is used to describe the Re deemer of mankind. Is this what people ex pect from a "religious" writer, or from a paper which wears the cloak of religion, and under that disguise endeavors to do a stroke of business by puffing off bubble specula tions 7 Is it not clear from the above extracts that Mr. Oliver Johnson, or the Independent, or both, strove in every way before the present trial began to prejudge the case of McFar land, and to hunt him down at all costs? Said the Sun the other day, "If the editor of the Independent is anxious to get at the true and honest sentiment of this community, let him Ein the name of his paper on the front of is hat, and be about the court house." That advice will not be taken during the present trial. SCANDALIZING RELIGION. From the X. Y. Commercial Advertiser. We submit that it is about time for the New York Independent to throw off the garb surrounding it, and show its true colors. To speak plainly, it has played the "religious dodge" long enough. Here is a journal which, claiming to be a religious guide to point sinners to the straight and narrow road, disseminates the most pernicious doctrines and scandalizes the cause of Christ. Under the disguise of piety, this sheet openly advocates tne abrogation of tne marriage ties, and the union of "affinities, inserts advertisements which would be refused by a respectable secu lar paper, indulges in disgusting wood-cuts, Annnnvflnoa v run f ViinlriTinr' in fVta Aiaf. a . vuvvumgua wuauuau www noiuv nv ceptation of the term, and in various other ways seeks to break down the barriers of reli gion and morality, and to hasten the coming of an era of unbridled license. It is emphati cally a "religious paper," with religion left out, grasping the horns of the altar with one hand and stretching forth the other to the temple of the money changers. What kind of men are associated in the conduct of this sheet may be inferred from the following let ter, written by one of them to Mrs. Met ar land, and read in court last Friday: "In depkndbnt Office, Nbw Yobk, Aug. 29, taw My Dear Mrs. McFarland : Pardon me! I have been at home for more than a week, and my promise to send yon the hard-shell sermons has not been ful- niiea. leuwui una mem, nowever, m me same envelope with this not, and I trust they will be blessed to your spiritual comfort and edidoatlon. They have been the means of converting a great many sinners, of whom you are the chief among tea thousand, and the one altogether lovely, and of such is tne Kingdom or Jieaven y We here have the managing editor of a self-proclaimed religious paper indulging in tne most blasphemous language, and apply ing to a woman who was heartless, if nothing more, fhe scriptural term applied to Christ. We having nothing to do with the religious tenets of any one. We protest, however, against men who boldly disavow their belief in the holy writ claiming to edit religious i'ouraala, and, under thw guise, corrupting he foundations of morality and religion. We protest against men planting themselves upon the watch-towers of Zion to make themselves conspicuous, and not Him whom ye indeed do not worship. We protest against men setting themselves np before the public as teachers and trainers whe privately ridicule religion and amuse infidel social gatherings by deliv ering mock prayers upon the bended knee. lbe Independent can say whatever seemetn best to it, and resort to all manner of clap trap for increasing its revenues. That is its own business. When, however, the Inde pendent cl&ima patronage and support as a re ligious journal, it obtains money under false pretenses, and deserves public condemnation for so doing. SHALL WOMEN ATTEND CLINICS? From the X. Y. Tribune. We are all the more concerned for the result of the election at the Pennsylvania Hospital to-day, in which the right of women students of medicine to be present at the clinical lectures of that institution is to be determined, since there is just reason for serious fear that their banishment from the clinics there will be followed by their ex elusion from Bellevue and other hospitals throughout the country. This would be a deplorable result in everv aspect in which we may view it. The issue is of importance not merely to the young ladies who demand the right to the most comprehensive instruction in the profession they have chosen, but to society, whose security in large degree de pends on the thoroughness of the medical education winch is sought, 'mere is cause to be clad, for this latter reason, that society and not the medical fraternity will be called upon to decide the question at the l hiladel pbia election. As we are informed, the con tributors to tne 1'ennsvlvanla Hospital wno are to vote on the issue are largely mothers and their children. Any person contributing the sum oi tuirty aoiiars to tne nospuai is en titled to a vote for life in the election of its managers and the decision of questions like the one in issue. Many parents nave made contributions in the names of children still minors, but these, we are told, are entitled to vote, and we hope will vote in tne interests of society for the' admission of women to clinics. The lady contributors have never heretofore voted at all, but for the sake of themselves and their struggling sifters, wo hope they will do so now. There has been 1 an effort made to discourage them on the foolish ground that for them to vote will give color to the charge that the managers are encouraging "Women's Rights." We are not ourselves ardent admirers of the cl of ladies who have leen prominent agitators for what are misnamed "women's rights," but we are heartily in favor of giving each and every one of the sx every opportunity for acquiring an education that makes her an independent, useful member of society, and a positive, not mere negative Ad vocate and agent of social reform and advance ment. After all that is said, the real iftsne in volved in this election is simply whether or not women shall have a larger liberty to do good, and that they may be no far enfran chised ought to be the wish of every true man and woman. There is little doubt that the medical practitioners who oppose tho admis sion of women to the clinics will take advan tage at the Philadelphia election of the votes of their children, and perhaps their wives. Let the women and children who favor the admission of women students see that their votes are not uncounted on the other side. And since they cannot vote by proxy, let them be sure to attend the election to-day. We have examined with care two pamphlets put forth anonymously in the interest of those who oppose the admission of the women, and have searched them in vain for a plausible argument. There are many misstatements of tacts, evident to tne most casual reader. Beyond certain weak efforts at satire, in which neither wit nor point is apparent, and a great deal of abuse of the Quaker gentlemen who have long managed and largely supported the Pennsylvania Hospital, we can find nothing that deserves to be stated or is worthy of reply. Very few of the large-minded persons who were wise enough to direct their charity to the noble purpose of supporting such an institution as the Pennsylvania Hospital will be deceived by the specious reasoning of these pamphlets. We published on Saturday a second com munication from "A Mother on this subject. It is a strong argument in favor of admitting women to clinical lectures that, in time, their presence will redeem those scenes from much that is indecent and disgraceful. The ribaldry and profanity on the part of male students, and tne display of neartlessness by the pro fessors, are often far more degrading than can possibly be tne exposure ol the human form. It would be a gross slander on our men's na ture to believe that the presence of women on such occasions will not after a time curb this wanton and wicked spirit. SPECIAL. NOTICES.
