2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY G, 1870. nriRiT or run muss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. FEMALE FILLS FOLi TIIE FA.G.VN. From the JV. Y. World. An argument Las been snggested in favor of thorough female medical educatiou which, we confess, never occutred to us before, an I which is conclnnive. At the recent FeuiHyl vania Hospital congress we road that a cou tribntor "warmly urged the propriety of women receiving medical training, and espe cially adverted to the need of trained female practitioners to reach the families of the various Asiatic nations." This man is proba bly a frustrated missionary. Thi3 idea of BendiDg female doctors to the Eastern heathens should be developed so as to be fully understood. A sort of oriental Liberia, whither enfranchised females might go and do, within the limits of decorum, of course, what they please, is not a bad idea. There should be a stipulation against their return ing too soon. As the exact spot is not speci fied at which this feminine experiment on Asia is to begin, one must speculate about it. Passing by Turkey, Egypt, though not Asiatic, would probably come first in order. This is the land of iShiphrah and Fuah, of whom we read in the good book, and Zip porah, who had a purgical tendency, and of ess reputable females like Cleopatra and the ady of the Captain of Pharaoh's guard. Still, if we may trust Mrs. Grey, who, with the Frincess of Wales, visited the Khedive's domestic circle, everything, bating plurality, is entirely unexceptionable. The ladies are very fat, resulting from the want of fresh air and exercise, and dirty, from want of fresh water. Here an active, wiry, clean little woman with a crop, from Philadelphia, might do great good. A sharp, angular figure and the crop would preclude the Viceroy's atten tions or the jealousy of his wives, and the Eatient would doubtless prefer being handled y a woman with a masculine tendency than one of the other sex womanly inclined. In Arabia, stony, Bandy, or happy, there is not room for any but veterinary practice, and Mesopotamia, where Adam delved and Eve spun, though excessively unhealthy, has never, since the days of Semiramis, or at least Zenobia, been a good place for enter prising, energetic women. Hindostan and China are all that are then left for this ex periment on the 'first families" of the heathen. 'What the British Government or the native princes of Bengal will say to the new American invasion it is not easy to fore tell. With one opium is an article of culture and export for mere poisoning purposes, and with the other there is a fashion of burning widows, which might cease to be voluntary, and extend to single women. We only hint at these difficulties to sue how they can be obviated. In China, we admit, there is ample space and verge enough. Chiropodio science is tne bran cn to be practised ,,here, and the American female surgeon who can . persuade a Chinese woman to have her loot put to rights, and then do it, will have performed a prodigy. Dr. Peter Parker's ophthalmic exploits will be nothing to a triumph, over inverted toes, and, if this new plan of missionary medicine succeed, it will do more to put female China on its feet than all that Mr. Burlingame accomplished. That there may be social difficulties we admit. Coctume, however, is not one of them, for in China all the men wear petticoats and the women trousers. There, as everywhere, it will be the first step that costs. When, years ago, the most enlightened of Eastern states men visited the French Minister at Macao or Canton, he wrote to his imperial master, after a dinner party where ladies were pre sent: "These barbarians have a dreadful habit of exposing their women to publio view. They actually sate at the same table with your slave, who was much disturbed there by." What Keying would have thought of a mixed clinio can only be imagined, and how the feminine matriculates of a brotherly love are to gain access to the inner circle of hea thendom we do not know. It is said that once, when Lord Talmerston was importuned to appoint a troublesome intrusive person to a consulship, he told his secretary to bring an atlas and find the most distant point on the globe's surface. Thither he sent the bore. Cannot Miss Dickinson be induced to migrate and be made dean of the new medical college at Pekin? Mrs. Stowe would find a congenial borne at Petra, and Miss Anthony, like the Triumvir, is yet young enough to try to make her "mark" in Egypt. FAR-WESTERN WAYS. From, the N: Y. Tribune. We had a number of despatches on Wed nesday from localities in the Far West Montana, Utah, Kansas which gave striking and grizzly illustrations of frontier manners and customs not yet wholly abolished in America. The Montana incident was of the lynch-law order one of those rude and terrible occur rences which have been frequent enough in the Rocky Mountain regions during the last few years, but the features of which can only be realized by people who have been present at a spectacle of the kind. Two men, charged with the crime of robbing and at tempting to kill a resident of Helena, wera caught and brought before a citizens' meeting. According to custom, a number of leading men delivered speeches to the crowd, insisting that it was Eesessary to publio safety to strike terror to the outlaws; and, as always happens at such times, an advocate of law and order also made his appearance, protested against any interference with regular authorities, and urged the people to disperse all of which advice was of course ignored. A committee of twenty-five persons was appointed from the crowd to conduct the trial. The prisoners at once confessed their guilt, and at 2 o'elook in the afternoon the committee condemned them to death, the execution to take place at half-past 4. At that time some JJOOO people were gathered near the hangman's tree, and the wagon, on which stood the prisoners with ropes around their necks, being driven from nnder them, they were left dangling, and "justice was satisfied." "The whole affair," according to the despatch, "was carried out in a quiet but determined manner. The Utah incident, which was also of tho lynch-law order, was of even a fiercer na ture than the foregoing. A man having killed a United States Marshal somewhere near Bait Lake City, was pursued by a "lot of Mormons," to whom it would appear he f?ave fight. The result was that he was finally tiLot, but not until, in the desperate struggle, he had wounded three of his pursuers, one of them mortally. The Kansas Incident is one of those hor rible eocentricitiea cf frontier life whioh soiue novelists delight to wurk up. Two "influen tial citizens" of the town of Monticello had a quarrel, -which they apreed to "settle ' by fighting it out in a dark room one of the couibntanU being armed with a ravolvei. au 1 the other ith a bowie-KLife. On tUa iep jrt of the pistol being heard by the outsiders, the door of the darkened room was burst open, when it was found that one of the "influen tial citizens" was shot through the lungs, and the other had his throat cut. Neither of them was dead, but both are believed to be mortally wounded. In other times, mortal combats of this Rort in dark rooms were oo OHniotinl incidents of Southwestern life; but, until he present affair, we have not heard of such an occurrence for many years. Gradually, yet with rapidity, the reign of law and order is extending over the vast regions west of the Missouri. In a few years, the horrible practice of lynching will have entirely disappeared, and with it many of the barbaritiea w hich have existed too long among our fighting frontiersmen. TnE REV. C. I. SMYTH, TIIE FOURTH COMMANDMENT, AND THE SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW. From the A'. I'. IleraUL The Rev. C. li. Smyth, of the Presbyterian Church of this city, on Sunday, the 10th of April last, after preaching a very good ser mon, invited two newspaper reporters to take lunch wilh him. The reporters accepted the invitation, and the party of three repaired to n neighboring restaurant, where, in the course of the repast, the preacher called for the ex traordinHry mixture of gin and milk, of which he drank or sipped a quantity; and one of his guests, in like manner, called for and dis posed of a pitcher of gin and milk, as some thing new under the pun. It further appears that in these proceedings the preacher not only violated the fourth commandment, as re corded in the second book of Moses, but like wise the Sunday liquor law of the State, and "that although the company were seated in a private room, no blessing was asked, at least audibly or apparently, on the repast." Fur thermore, the accused caused his son to assist one of suid reporters in "deciperfng or writ ing out" the notes of the sermon preached on said day by the accused. These facts were established against the minister before the presbytery sitting on the subject, Moderator Finley in the chair. Rut Mr. Harper, of the Investigating Committtee, submitted the following extenuating circum stances: First, that the accused did not ask either of his guests to take any intoxicating drink. Second, that the accused was laboring at the time under a considerable degree of physical exhaustion. Third, that the quantity of gin used by him was not large. Fourth, that the accused did not exhibit any symptoms of intoxication on the occasion. Next, in balancing the account, the committee having reported against the gin, in connection with I he time, place, and circumstances, although the facts had been greatly exaggerated in the specifications against the accused, submitted in conclusion the recommendation of a re buke to the accused for his censurable con duct, and an admonition with am engagement on his part "to walk by the grace of God more circumspectly in the future." There port was adopted, and the rebuked Brother Smyth is doubtless satisfied that his punish ment is not greater than his offense. bo much for the Church. Mow for the press. According to the testimony of the Herald reporter, whose fidelity to the facts is established, the account of that Sunday lunch, as published in the opera louffe jour nal, was a false report, and, according to the evidence ot the reporter directly oonoerned, it was not his report, but a materially diffe rent report. In other words it was a report doctored, regardless of the consequenoes, to make a sensation. Against this unscrupulous Bohemianism we, in behalf of the llerald reporter and all other faithful repor ters of the publio press, must here enter our protest. The Rev. Mr. Smyth, from a kindly disposition to serve the two reporters concerned, in reference to that 10th of April sermon, invited them, how ever unwisely, to lunch with him, and they and he were betrayed in a little affair of hos pitality by another party, and hence all this fuss about a Sunday drink of gin and milk. Why, even the professional robbers of the Arabian desert regard the rites of hospitality as a treaty of peace, which they are bound in honor not to violate. If they eat or drink with the traveller they are bound not only never to betray him, but, when necessary, to protect him within their lines of jurisdiction; and when these rules are violated by the press the press is brought into disgrace. WrEED OUT THE ARMY. Prom the X. Y. Sun. Our readers must have noticed of late the frequency with which courts-martial dismiss army officers for drawing their pay twice for the same period. This offense, now appa rently on tho increase, was formerly entirely unknown to the service. At first sight it might appear that the corruption notoriously infecting so many channels of publio employ- ment bad at last laid its festering hand upon those who were, only as late as last summer, described by u distinguished divine as "a body of men more largely incorrupt than any other in tne community. iiut to those acquainted with the circumstances the number of these convictions, so far from being an in dication of a low tone of moral sense in the army, is a healthy sign of its disposition to rid itself cf unworthy members who have been tbrut into it through favoritism. Since the war many good appointment of volunteers of proved ability and integrity have been made in the regular army; but at the same time some men have been commis sioned whose subsequent conduct costs an undeserved reproach upon tnat clas3 known as civilian appointments. These unworthy men the better disposed officers are striving to weed out, and in their efforts they should have the encouragement of the Exeoutive and the moral support of publio opinion. In this work of reform the majority of tho offi cer j perurui tneirpart, but the rresiuentnas not hitherto sustained them. For, as a gene ral rule, no sooner does a court-martial expel a man than his name is sent to the Senate for confirmation to the very grade of wqich he was deprived; and in nearly every instance the complaisant Senate has restored the dis missed officer, in the face of the probable summary muster out of over four hundred unassigued officers against whom no charges have ever been made. . Last week two more offioers were court martialled in this city and cashiered for attempting to defraud the Government; and already efforts are making to restore one, if not both, to tie profession they have dis- cTaced. Lieutenant li. Jr. ilyer of New York, formerly a captain of volunteers, was ap pointed a second lieutenant in the Seooud United States Artillery in 18GG, and was tried and dismistied the service for conduct unbe coming an officer and a gentlemas. In his remarks upon the sentence of the court General Sherman says with reference to Lieutenant Kyer: "Previous breaches of discipline on the part of an officer on trial, especially when each misoonduct has already been suitably punished, can cot justify me enforcement of entente in itself not sustained." From this it Hppeart-d Hint Lieutenant Ryer h-id more thun once before incurred the disapprobation of bis superiors for breaches of discipline. He was finally brought to trial for presenting fraudulent claims, and found guilty of four dis tinct attempts to draw his pay twioe for the same time. The Court sentenced him to be cashiered, and to be confined for three years in a penitentiary. The part relating to the penitentiary was remitted by the President, and the tax-papers of the country will hope that the Exeovtive clemency will extend no further. Lieutenant J. A. A. Robinson's record, if more brief, is not less varied. Formerly a first lieutenant of volunteers, he was ap pointed from Massachusetts a sooond lieute nant in the Seventeenth Infantry in October, lMx, and was transferred to the First Artil lery in July, 180!). Joining this regiment in August last, he was tried by court-martial for "absence without leave, convicted, and sen tenced "to be suspended from rank and com mand, and to forfeit pay proper for three months, and to be confined to the limits of his post for the same period." This sentence was so far mitigated as to inflict a fine of only two months' pay proper, equal to $100; and yet Robinson is already again brought before a court-martial, end this time for the graver offense of attempting to draw his pay twice for the same month. We learn that much maudlin sympathy is expressed for Robinson, because he has com mitted the offense but once; and strong hopes are entertained of his reappointment from the circumstance of his being a relative of Admiral Porter. Can the Senate confirm suoh a nomination? ' GIN AND JUSTICE. From the N. Y. World. The Rev. Charles B. Smyth has been found guilty of having accomplished a compound fracture of the Christian Sabbath, by in dulging in gin and milk and the society of reporters on that sacred day. With the charges against Mr. Smyth the publio is already familiar. His defence was quite a remarkable one. He admitted the gin. acknowledged the milk, and pleaded guilty to the reporters; but he alleged in extenuation of his offense that he did not pay his bill. I ordered it to be charged to me, said Mr. Smyth, "in order not to break the Sabbath by paying it" from which it appears that Mr. Smyth regards it as a breach of the fourth commandment to pay his lawful debts on Sunday. This is certainly a singular phase of clerical morality; but, alter all, it is what we might expect from a man who was capable of mixing gin and milk. The plea, ingenious as it was, did not save the culprit, who was rebuked with solemn severity by a brother clergyman. The latter dwelt upon the heinousness of Mr. Smyth's offense, and reproved him for hav ing set a bad example to the reporters who were partakers of his gin and milk. It is to be hoped that this painful example will not be withoat its effect upon the clergy. The reporters whose duty compels them to at tend the ministrations of Mr. Smyth and other popular preachers should not be un necessarily exposed to demoralizing influ ences. If they are to be brought into contact with heretical beverages in addition to unorthodox doctrines, a certain deteriora tion in their morals must be the consequence. Mr. Smyth has taught at least three reporters how to compound a beverage of which they had formerly been in innocent ignorance. If these unfortunate young men hencefor ward wander from the path of plain and legi timate drinking into tne strange and dan gerous ways of gin and milk, their fall will be the result of Mr. Smyth's evil example. Now that justice has overtaken him, let him see to it that in future he shall never so adulterate his gin as to make it a snare for innocent reporters. A MORAL FOR SCHENCK. From the Chicago Post. Mr. Schenck says if his tariff bill is killed. as it now promises to be, its epitaph will be "nibbled to death by pismires," or "kioked to death by grasshoppers. Bat we trust the bill will not be killed. Let the pismires and grasshoppers swarm about it, and divest it, as they are rapidly doing, of its unjust monopoly features, and then give it a fair field and long life. Let Schenck be warned. The pismires and grasshoppers will bo to the giant Monopoly what the Lilliputians were to Brobdignag. Numbers go further than mere muscle and meat. Another thing. Before Mr. Schenck beats the air any longer as the blind windmill of the tariff, he ought to study political economy as taught by these very pismires of which he speaks in such contemptuous terms. The ant, or pismire, is the very model of a healthy and vigorous home industry. He is tho pat tern worker of the universe, ne asks and re ceives no protection. His gains are the dim ple rewards of his own unaided labor. Moreover and to this fact we call Mr. Schenck 's particular attention the ant is the great renovator of the universe. He is the great cleanser of tho Augean stables of the earth. He feeds upon offal, and withdraws from exposure all the poisonous carcases whose noxious gases are the chief enemy of man. He has been known to consume every particle of the unwholesome body of a mam moth elephant. Think of that, Mr. Schenck ! and thank Providence for providing the ant that shall clear away the corrupt carcase of Tariff Monopoly when the House shall have slain the giant and thrown its body out upon the plain. One more word to Mr. Schenck and we are done. It is this: "Goto the ant, thou sluggard! Consider his ways, and be wise! WHISKY, WINE, ETO.
