LIFE AT MANCHESTER.
From the London Saturday fievitw. ,
We are not disposed, and were we disposed
we are not able, to mitigate the storm ok in
dignation which is sweeping over the whole
country in connection with the Greek massa
cres. Apart from the natural pity and terror
w hich is aroused by the destruction of human
life, and the appeal to vengeance from our
brothers' blood, we blush with indignation that
such a deed could have been done in a Chris
tian land. We have been many a long year
teaching the tottering steps of the infant
State of Europe to walk, and this is what has
come of it. And now it is proposed, perhaps
seriously, that we should treat the fractious,
or incapable, Greek brat with serious disci
pline, and send him to school in real earnest.
We are ready with tutors and governors.
There are able and competent administrators,
military and political, prepared, and no doubt
willing, to instruct the child of neglect and
mismanagement. Indian generals with
out employment, and Indian financiers
cn conge, are to' 1 be, had for
the asking. ' The successful captains' who
could or could not hunt down Nana Sahib or
Tantia Topee, and the able civil servants who
have in sucoession, whether with or witheut
success, produced the wonderful series of
Indian budgets, would not refuse active ser
vice and salary in Greece. Sir William This
or Sir Charles That are just the men, it is
hinted, to stamp out brigandage in Attica
and to set the exchequer of the Pira?us all
straight. Anyhow, Greece as it is, political,
moral, and social, is a disgrace to Christen
dom. We admit it all. But when we come
to look at home, and go back a hundred and
fifty years to the social condition of this em
pire and the Greece of to-day is not un
fairly to be contrasted with the Great Britain
of the beginning of the eighteenth century
seme ugly memories present themselves.
The Catherans of the North, Honnslo.v
Ileath, Finchley Common, and Maidenhead
Thicket, have their ' records of robbery and
blood. Even London streets of that day
were not so much better than Oropos of this.
But we may go further, or rather come nearer
to the question. Greek brigandage and
Italian brigandage are very horrid things; but
anyhow they are traditional. They seem to
be regulated by a sort of hideous etiquette,
and to be adjusted into a system, if not sanc
tioned, at least acknowledged, by a long and
inveterate abuse of right. But if we look at
Greek brigandage from what they call the
standpoint of outsiders and bystanders, the
question may perhaps profitably occur to
some of us, how the general critic and stu
dent of current and extant humanity
would estimate certain domestic
faots of the social history of the Great
Britain of the present day? For instance,
what would he think of landlord-shooting in
Ireland? what of murdering a small trades
man because he was thought to be enhancing
or reducing the price of butter and eggs ?
what of slitting a man's nose up because he
was agent to somebody whom somebody else
denounced ? what of the state of London at
this moment as regards the security of pro
perty ? what of the open hire by an associa
tion of assassins at the cheap figure ef five or
ten pounds per victim ? Given the relative
iroportions of the civilization, education,
aw, and public authority of Greece against
England, and taking into consideration the
very remarkable facts that landlord murder
in Ireland and Broadheadism in England are
new things, and are both of them novelties
in human wickedness, and therefore in
some sense products of our present
and living civilization, whereas bri
gandage survives as a part of
ancient barbarism not yet grubbed up, we
very much suspect that an impartial critio or
philosophic historian of civilization would be
tempted to pronounce that, crime for crime,
place for plaoe, and time and circumstances
for time and circumstances, Broadhead's
crime was of the two more hideous and more
disgraceful to us than the arrangements of
the brigand captains are to Greece. Our
blood boils with indignation that the Home
Secretary, or whatever he is, at Athens, can
not or will not detect the murderers of our
poor fellow-countrymen in Attica; and at this
very moment Mr. Secretary Bruce so he
says in his place in Parliament has received
no complaint that the Manchester ma
gistrates have not done their duty, either
in preventing or detecting the perpetrators
of the outrages on Mr. Johnson, or in pro
tecting that gentleman's life and property
for the last twelve months. Indeed, the
Town Clerk of Manchester rather takes
credit, not for preventing the outrage, but
for considering it at all. That is to say, au
thority in its most official impersonation
owns that the state of things at Manchester
a mere matter of systematio arson and mur
der directed against a tradesman only because
he carries on his business in a way displeas
ing to an organized band of brigands, calling
themselves Trade-Unionists is beyond the
control of the ordinary administration of the
law of England.
Let us see what this attack on Mr. Johnson
is; and first let us describe who this Mr.
Johnson is. He is a builder, engaged in very
extensive business. At Manchester a Unionist
ordinance existed prohibiting the shaping of
building stone at , the quarries, and the
consequent use of cut stone on
the site of new buildings; another
ukase forbad the use of maohinery
in the manufacture of bricks, and we believe
there was a similar decree issued by the Man
chester bricklayers limiting the hours of
labor. In fact, here was the working-man at
work introducing all sorts of restrictions into
ft particular trade, coercing employers of
labor, and, in short, prohibiting a certain
manufacture that of new buildings by
making, or tryingto make, profit in that
trade impossible. The natural and unavoid
able result of the success of this policy of
trade unionism would be of course the simple
Annihilation of a special and hitherto profit--ble
trade. Against these tyrannical re
strictions, and against these attempts to
make it impossible for Mr. Johnson to
earn his bread, Mr. Johnsan rebelled; and
of considerable measure of success has at
tended his efforts to secure his own inde
pendence and to break through the tram
mels of Trade-Unionism. The work-stone
rule baa failed, and brick-making machinery
has been to some extent introduced at Man
chester, chiefly by Mr. Johnson's untiring
efforts. This is the head and front of his
offease'againBt the majesty of Trade-Unionism;
and he has been denounced by the
Yehm-Gericht. And this has been we
quote his instructive autobiography his
recent manner of life. ''I have had to take
the greatest precaution during the last twelve
months with regard to myself, so that
scarcely any one knows anything about my
movements, or where I am at night I have
not been at home on Saturday and Sunday
till last Satrndsy for five weeks; and then,
from the inquiries made at the door
whether I was home the Saturday previous to
the outrage, something even more serious
.might have happened than the attempt to
blow me up on Saturday Inst. If I
go to bed, it must be dog sleep, and always
n the alert. My coachman has not dared to
drive me home .fit eight for the last twelve
months. My servants wish to leave,
as they dare not slop in the house; my friends
dare not come to the house. No
one at pretent knows where I sleep.
For the last twelve months I have gone home
in a cab, and been seen safe inside, because
it was unsafe to walk from the railway station.
I have applied to the county police to protect
my house while I slept at night, and
to the city police to protect my brick
machines at night. They reply
they will give me as much protec
tion as I like, but I must pay 8d. per hour for
each man. I say no, on principle, and if I
have to pay at all, I will have my own armed
men, and that will be a disgrace to the Gov-
ernment of this country, if the Home Secre
tary allows it." Prosaic and stupid and sim
ple Mr. Johnson 1 who believes that it is the
first duty of a government to maintain the
security of life and property, and who cannot
understand now it is that every or any unof
fending citizen is, as things are, assumed by
authority to be bound to maintain at his own
expense an armed force of personal retainers
to guard him to and from and at his dwelling
place, and who really thinks it hard that he
cannot sleep two nights in the same bed for
fear of the fate of Darnley .
Fear of the fate of Darnley; why the Edin
burgh tragedy of 1507 has been, at least in
purpose, repeated in this year of grace and
civilization 1870, in the second city of England,
the very home and metropolis of manufac
ture, education, and progress. Oh Saturday,
April 30, Mr. Johnson's timber-yard at An
coates was fired; but this was a mere trifle.
On the very same night and it was the first
night for a fortnight that Mr. Johnson
had entered his own house, at Levenshulme,
for the purpose of sleeping there a violent
explosion of gunpowder took place in his
drawing-room, and three bottles filled with
powder, and enclosed in tightly-compressed
clay, were found in and about his premises.
It was only because the night was damp, and
because the explosion took place outside the
window, instead, as was intended, of being
inside the room, that the house, and probably
all that it contained, was not blown to atoms.
There is a grim pathos in Mr. Johnson's
quiet appeal, "Truly my lot is a hard one."
Bather, we Bhould say, and so we think the
whole country will say; and we venture to
hope that, in our righteous indignation
against the bloody deeds of Arvauitaki at
Marathon, we shall not forget the duty of
tracking out and aveDging this hideous crime
committed on and by what Mr. Gladstone
calls our own flesh aad blood. In some re
speots the crime perhaps equals Broadhead's;
at any rate, it is a new development of the
trade-union policy. At Sheffield rattening
and murder were carried out by workmen
against their fellows. Now it is at Manches
ter against an employer and against an em
ployer whose whole life has been, so we are
assured, spent in bettering the condition of
the workingman, and in attempts, costing
much time and money, to elevate him
socially, physically, and morally. Mr. John
son's only offense is that, in the in
terests of Manchester labor quite as much
as in those of Manchester capital, he in
tends to conduct his business as a builder
under such conditions as alone can prevent
the prohibition of all new buildings at Man
chester. No doubt the Manchester brick
makers are too debased and stupidly igno
rant to see this; and they answer Mr. John
son's argument for free trade by the con
vincing argument for protection of trying to
blow him and his family to pieoes, and of de
stroying all his stock in trade. Of course we
shall have the old story. The Trade Unions,
with more or less indignation, and with that
well-known indignation more or less ficti
tious, will disavow all participation in these
murderous outrages. The Sheffield farce will
be played over again. And all that Mr.
Johnson gets from authority is the permission
to defend himself, his life and property, and
family, if he can, at his own cost. The Gov
ernment cannot protect him further. They
cannot, we suppose, issue another special
commission. Between Manchester and Shef
field there is not a pin to choose.
WHAT SHALL WE DO NEXT ?
From the N. Y. Time.
When the Republican idea, after years of
discussion, had gathered sufficient vigor to
justify the formation of a party, it was essen
tially different from what we recognize as
Republicanism to-day. The policy of 185G
was the germ of the creed which has since
been developed. Emancipation was an end
too vast to be hoped for at first, and the
utmost the infant party dared to assert was
that the Federal domain should be dedicated
to freedom. Outside of this issue the party
had little or no capital. Its apparent po verty,
however, proved a source of strength rather
than weakness, by consolidating the senti
ment and action of the party to such an ex
tent as to enable it to suoceed in the canvass
of 1800. It is questionable if, with a more
diversified policy, the party could have elected
Mr. Lincoln. On that one issue, however, it
harmonized the otherwise discordant political
elements of 'conservatism and radicalism, and
achieved a victory.
The leaders evidently understood the ne
cessities of the occasion, and were governed
by those necessities in the construction of
the Chicago . platform. We have always re
garded the great settlement arrived at on that
oocasion as a masterpiece of strategy, simply
because it avoided all mischievous complica
tions, and left the way clear for a combina
tion of all the anti-Democratio elements. It
is curious to recall the issues of that cam
paign, and to note how moderate they wore
in comparison with those which prevailed in
1804 and 1808. Yet it is clear that had it not
been for the Rebellion the party could not
have been long maintained, and in all proba
bility it would have gone to pieces amid the
dissensions wLich would surely have attended
the attempt to enlarge its policy. The war
averted that catastrophe, end turned the pro
gressive genius of the party in the direction
of emancipation. It took two years to bring
the party up to the assertion of that idea as
a policy, and it has taken ever since to adjust
the details, and bring the States into prac
tical conformity with the measures since ren
dered necessary.
That great work being ended, the Republi
can party is now in a critical position. Filled
with impulses of progress, it finds itself with
an accomplished mission, ' but without any
settled or affirmative issues upon which to
construct a new ground of action for the
future. The elements of which the party
was composed still retain their old character
istics, and cannot remain in perfect combi
nation, in a btate of rest. A very Urge soo
tion of the party requires a broader field of
action, and is unwilling to dolvo any linger
among the political ', MrJs of the past four
years. Having wrought out the principle of
emancipation, and fortified; it beyond all
possibility of harm in the future, it desires
to move forward and grapple with the
political 'necessities which are rapidly being
developed. The negro has ceased to be a
central figure, and the animosities and re
venges of the past have to a very great extent
died out. V ! . .
The impulse of progress still remains as
strong as ever in the party, and it will surely
find exercise in some direction. Within the
last few months a very curious phenomenon
has appeared. That section which, five years
ago, was thought to be dangerously inclined
to progress, is now clinging to past achieve
ments; while the conservatives of that time
ere clamoring for the adoption of new issues,
and the enunciation of a broad national
scheme of future action. Congress affords a
striking example of this anomalous condition
of the party. Both houses are arrayed in two
factions, the one seeking to inaugurate new
end harsh measures toward the South, and
the other to secure pacification, and to con
struct some wise and prudent policy indepen
dently of the old issues of the war. There
is no question how the great body of the
people stand as between the two. They are
tired of the struggle which has so long
existed with regard to the negro, and desire
to march with the times. The world does not
stand still, although the Republican party
may. We must deal with the live questions
of the hour.
How this can be accomplished is the prob
lem which is pressing for a solution.
Although we do not believe that the policy of
a great party can be suddenly formed, we
are sure that it is the part of wisdom
promptly to grapple with all difficulties of
politics and government. It is idle to attempt
to evade or postpone action. It is not to be
denied that the Republican party lacks a
broad national policy with regard to
finance, taxation, and imposts. For six
months, Republican leaders in Congress
have been at loggerheads on those subjects,
and the country is apparently no nearer a so
lution of any one of them than it was at the
beginning of the session. Yet the approach
ing campaign will probably largely depend
on these issues, and the whole nation is
anxiously waiting to have them cleared out of
the way in order that it may comprehend its
true position and prospects. It is to be feared
that the people will refuse to wait much
longer.
CANADA AND THE FENIANS.
From the N. F. World.
We have already seen at Pigeon Hill what
the Canadians think of their Fenian visitors,
and what sort of reception they are disposed
to extend to the liberators of Ireland. Ca
nada, of course, contains a certain proportion
of citizens of Irish birth or descent, and the
history of the relations of Great Britain with
the ancient provinces of New France is not a
history of perfect maternal tenderness on the
one side, nor yet of absolute filial affection
on the other. But it is plain that the Irish
republic will get no help from Canada towards
its establishment save such incidental advan
tages as might possibly, in case of a serious
Irish revolution, be derived from the diver
sion of British troops to the New World to
meet a serious invasion of the "Dominion."
Equally plain is it, we think, that these re
peated incursions of the Fenian forces tend
rather to diminish than to increase the dispo
sition of the Canadian people to throw in
their fortunes with those of the United States.
The tone in which the leading Canadian jour
nals comment upon the events of the last few
days may be fairly estimated from the extracts
which we gave in Saturday's issue. It is by
no means respectful to the Government at
Washington, or sympathetic towards the
American people. Indeed, our Canadian
friends are so much irritated and excited by
the news from the border that they charge
upon republican institutions a calamity for
which the corruptions and brutalities of a
monarchical system are alone really respon
sible. There would have been no Fenians in
the world had Ireland been governed upon
republican principles. The hatred of England
and the English which gives life and earnest
ness to the Fenian cause oomes of the secular
wrongs inflicted upon a helpless and subject
race under the authority of a foreign crown.
Nor is it true that under republican institu
tions alone armed expeditions can now be
fitted out in one country to disturb the public
order of another in a season of peace. There
is no overt war between the Italian monarchy
and the Papal court. ' But not the less are
the partisans of the fallen dynasties of Parma
and Modena, of Naples and Tuscany, suffered
to recruit troops, to organize regiments, and
to set on foot adventures for the invasion of
the dominions of the house of Savoy. Neither
at Florence nor at Rome have such decisive
steps ever been taken within the last decade
to arrest Italian expeditions against the
Papacy or Bourbonist raids upon Italy as have
been taken by President Grant to crush the
hopes and paralyze the efforts of the invaders
of Canada. Those Irish pariots who are
really and gravely bent .upon the independ
ence of their native land will do well, we
think, to consider the question of how far they
are likely to be helped forward to their object
by enterprises which alienate from America the
good-will of her Canadian neighbors, and so
postpone that natural gravitation of Canada
into the American system which, if Buffered
to work out its natural results, must enor
mously reinforce the power of the United
States, and so make brighter and brighter the
prospect of final liberation for Ireland.
That England has no hold upon the Cana
dian mind so strong as Canadian anxieties on
the Eiibject of the relations between Canada
and the Union is also made plain by the tone
of the provincial press in this juncture. We
do not very distinctly perceive of what par
ticular advantage it can be to the cause of
Irish independence to strengthen this one
hold of Great Britain upon a dominion the
forcible conquest of which, while it must cer
tainly exhaust no inoonsiderable proportion
of the Fenians or the American force at any
time available for the liberation of Ireland,
could never draw very severely upon the re
sources of a metropolis already fully resolved
to abandon its colony just so soon as its
colony shall have exhausted its own capacities
of self-defense.
DEATH AND JENKINS.
From the Jf. Y. Tribune.
Some Jeames Yellowplush from the rural
regions, making his first visit to town the
other day, was fortunately bidden to a funeral,
ane at the first sight of death, in a fashion
able outfit, fell in love with it, and wrote
home a glowing description of the corpse a
la mode, and his own enraptured feelings at
beholding it. A more widely circulated
organ of backdoor literature in town has
copied his rapt effusion as a model of the
fine writing and delicate sentiment most -in
vogue with the school for which it caters,
and so has given us the opportunity of wit
nessing at second hand the interview be
tween death and the lackey. In everv
nation there is a feeling implanted in the
breast of even the most idiotio or brutal
which gives to death its awe and solemnity.
"When God. speaks the kings of the earth
keep silence." Jeames alone, however,
skips and frisks victoriously, over any such
old-fashioned prejudices. The ape of
fashion wears a shield of vulgarity, mail
proof against even death's arrows. He re
pairs to the awful tryst with the dread
silent monarch on buoyant wings of expec
tation. It was given, ho tells us, with an ex
ultant cackle, in one of the largest and
most elegant houses in a most fashonable
thoroughfare.
It was a child who was dead a little girl,
dearly beloved. Her father and mother stood
over her coffin. Here, one would think, was
matter to silence the most frivolous. Even
his footman-soul might have warned him to
lay his hand upon his mouth and know that
the place whereon he stood was holy ground.
With his handkerchief over one eye, however,
he notes with the other the parlor, the car
pets, the friends. "Such friends! The Rev.
Dr. -I Authors! Artists! Two Ver-
monters from Vermont ! Men of Wealth ! 1"
There were, in fact, no ordinary persons pre
sent. Jeames becomes a very "card and
calendar of gentry" in rolling their titles like
sweet morsels under his tongue. Even the
mother, who had lost three little ones in three
weeks, is "a Vermont gentlewoman." When
he reaches the appointments of the funeral
and the furniture of the house, however, he
positively stammers from the excess of his
rapture and emotion. We fancy we hear Mr.
Mould himself assure us of "the unspeakable
depth of affectionate regret. Nolimitation,actu
ally no limitation to the expense !" The only
cause of surprise and disappointment to our
reporter is, that "the dead child was wholly
unmindful of hor magnificent surroundings,
even of the paintings which hung on the
wall. She not I was regardless of the
original oil painting of 'The Secret of Chim
borazo.'" She was also, it appears, "un
mindful of the authors, the artists, the men
of wealth, and women of fashion." This last
immobility which strikes amazement into the
soul of Jeames he apologizes for by surmising
that "6he had gone on ad antra before."
Jeames has not studied Mr. Mould on Death
in vain. "It is the laying out of money,"
says that astute observer, "that can bind the
broken heart and shed balm upon the wounded
Bpirit." Authors! artists ! men of wealth and
fashion! "Why should we call gold dross
when it can soothe our loss with things like
these?"
Seriously, to put the Yellowplush reporters
aside for a moment, there is no place where
the tawdry vulgarity of half-eduoated people
is so grossly aggressive among us as in the
presence of death. . The natural impulse of
the refined or nobler nature is to go apart
with its dead, to hide from its fellow-men
where only God can Bee its pain. So, doubt
less, it was in this case, dragged, with such
vulgarity, before the public. But now-a-days
the possession of a dead body seems often
rather to be accepted in a house as an apology
for calling in the world to see our display of
money and fashionable acquaintanoos. Not
only is this the case among the plebeian rich,
but the infection is spreading among those
classes who have neither money nor the com
mon sense to keep them from such follies. A
poor man has hardly time to grieve for his
dead wife or child, in the more exacting
anxiety of finding money to give them a
showy funeral. It is one of those subjects
upon which sermons, however, are useless.
The man, rich or poor, who sacrifices his life
to Mrs. Grundy will be oomforted in his
death if sure of her approval of his exit. The
only cure we see for the evil is a few more
letters from tnis Rutland reporter. Jeames aa
a mourner would terrify any man from his
coffin.
