AFTER DICKENS, WHO ? From the JahiUvHU Journal A lady correspondent asks na whether An thony Trollope, Charles lieade, or Wilkie Collins will succeed to the place at the head of English fiction made vacant by the death of Charles Dickens. This is a strange qnes tion to come from a woman, and shows our correspondent, if she will excuse the seeming ud gallantry of saying so, either illy read in fictitious literature or inapprooiative in judging its quality. No one with the least critical insight would so much as consider the claims of Buch, writers . as Trollope, Iteade, and Collins in . such a connection. Trollope is but a skilful photographer, not an artist in any sense, lleade has no humor, 1 and Wilkie Collins is but a first-claw police re porter. Each in his way has his merits; but these limits do not belong to the higher sphere of genius. Dickens' suocessor on the throne of English romance is a woman. The chronicler of the midland homesteads, the poet of the hedgerows, 4 'liberal homes of unmarketable beauty," and the great corn-stacks in the rick-yard, the busy scenes of the shuttle and the wheel, of the roaring furnace, of the shaft and the pulley" that lie "in the midst of the large-ppaced, Blow-moving life of homesteads and far-away cottages and oak-sheltered parks," is the novelist of England who nill maintain the honor of current Anglo-Saxon letters, to say nothing of their historic pres tige, against Sue and Hugo and Auerbach. There is no resisting, as there is no denying, the power of the author of "Adam Bede," "The Mill on , the Floss," and "Roniola." Everybody recognizes the charm of "the neat or handsome parsonage and grey church set in the midst; the pleasant tinkle of the blacksmith's - anvil, the patient cart-horses waiting at his door; the basket-maker peeling his willow wands in the sunshine; the wheelwright putting the last touch to a bluei cart with red wheels; here and there a cottage with bright transparent windows showing pots full of blooming bal sams or geraniums, and little gardens in front all double daisies or dark wall flowers; at the well clean and comely women carrying yoked buckets, and, towards the free school small Britons dawdling on and handling their marbles in the pockets of, unpatched cordu roys adorned with brass buttons. And in contrast with these , the dirty children and languid mothers of the grimy towns "pious Dissenting women, perhaps, who took life patiently . and thought that salvation de pended chiefly on predestination and not at all on cleanliness. The popular notion about the exccjleneo and brilliancy : of the style of George Eliot's ; novels is, . that it is simply the excellence - of a painter like Terriers.. People talk of "Silas Marter" as if there were nothing in it except Nancy Lammeter and the famous meeting in the parlor of the inn; of the "Mill on the Floss," as if it were only a rural chronicle of Oleigs and Dodsons and Tullivers; of "Adam Bede," as if it contained no more than a photo graphic reproduction of the life of midland dairies and farm-houses and apple-orchards. But besides these wonderful pictures there is a vast well of poetry; philosophy, and human nature, of wit and pathos, of dramatic fire and action,' which remind us of the old mas ters. George Eliot is the suocessor of Charles Dickens. A woman stands to-day at the head of English fictitious literature, the peer of Tennyson and Mill, and greater than all others. ' i , BASEBALL. From the Uarrinburg Topic. The American people are perhaps the least practical while the most industrious and en terprising of all the people in the world. We say the least practical because they are the easiest led away in admiration of affairs that have "nothing in them," that are meri tricions, Billy, even foolish. We are subject to periodical passions for foolish things, and when a thing becomes a fashion, however ridiculous it may.be, those, who refuse to worship and commend it are at once ' set down as the ignorant ones. We are led to these remarks by tha returning base ball fever, and its counterpart croquet. If a number of genteel idlers organize a base ball club, and engage with -other clubs in rival ries which have no meaning, it is expeoted that business should at once be suspended, that the telegraph and the newspapers should, yield all their facilities to spread before the publio a result which does not prove anything. The best base-ball players in the world are men who never did an honest day's labor in their lives, yet such fellows 'will fry what little brains they have, in the heat of a summer solstice, competing with bat and ball for a superiority which does not add a feature ,to society's good, physical powers of usefulness, or moral dignity. But it is fashionable. That's enough. The men ort man who does an honest day's work where genius and art and mechanism contribute to the wealth and glory of the land, are not made half as repu table by the telegraph and the press as is a base-ball ' club. .. Our city contemporaries would not advertise the most useful invention unless they are paid . for it, and yet daring the season they do not hesitate to force on their readers - columns of stuff about base-ball contests which are a bore to all but those who were glorified thereby. Without being accused of harshness, a similar reference to those, who delight to engage in croquet , is pot out of plaoe. We frequently see young ladies displaying great muscular force in a game of croquet, who would swoon at the base invitation to eweep a parlor carpet or prepare the vegeta bles for dinner. Herein is just where the American people bo often render themselves ridiculous before the world. Our amusements are of the impracticable kind;' and when we do engage in anything of a sportive character, instead of making it subservient to good sense, we outrage the latter quality and turn our pleasures into dissipations. This base ball fever now amounts to a ridiculous dis play of petty vanities which claim to have a monopoly of our attention. American jour nalism is to blame for this cultivation of a national tmobbUbness, and it is about, time that the telegraph were employed in furnishing newspapers with intelligence of a more use ful character than that of reports of base-ball contest?. ' ' Still another view of these lase ball con tests is tbt which reveals their criminal fea tures. Whenever a great game U played, the KDortins men and gamblers make it the means of plying their trade, until base ball clnbt are used by gamblers to roo tne public, one rlnb allowing the other to be victorious, that the gamblers may be enabled to floece tbeir victims. Fart of this money goes for paying 11 e expenses of the clubs iu drinking and gluttony. It is also a fact that sometimes those who are called expert players are the mere hirelings of rich men, who use them to win of lose a game as their interests may demand. ' From this, it will at once be seen that what is called our national sport is only a ppecies of individual degradation a game tier's pursuit outraging athletic exercise and insulting to the good manners of intelligent people. GENERAL BUTLER A FAILURE. Fnmtht S. r. BtraWL - We had great hopes of General Butler in Congress after his clever management of the impeachment prosecution against Andy John son. We thought for some time after that affair that Butler was the man to take ' the place as "tho great commoner" and leader of the. House, left vacant by "Old Thad Stevens." After a fair trial, however, he must, as an aspirant for this position, be pro nounced a failure. He is a keen lawyer, he has all the points, all the authorities, all the precedents, and all the quirks and quibbles of the law at his fingers' ends. He proved his efficiency as a lawyer all through the war; and if be was "bottled up"' as a soldier it was, perhaps, because he undertook to mtuage his own army and the army opposed to him in the field according to the rules of law laid down by Blackstone as superior to the military ideas : of Napoleon. Butler, in short, manoeuvred against Beauregard as a lawyer, and bo Beauregard "bottled ' him. In Con gress, however, where solid ability and the tricks of the law and parliamentary strategy and tactics carry the day, we had expected Butler to achieve the first position. Schenck, however, by hard labor and self-possession hits got ahead of him; and Bingham, too, always watching for his opportunity, is getting ahead of "the gentleman from Massachu setts." We have seen, over and over again, that in a regular pitched battle in the Honee, or in a sudden ' skirmish, with sharp shooters blazing away all around him, Butler, if he can only contrive to keep cool, is equal to the emergency and a match for the best of them. We have seen, however, from time to time, as in the late afrair with ' Farns worth, that Butler cannot always keep cool; that, in fact, he is too apt to fly off the handle and spoil his case by getting into a fit of ridicu lous indignation, which trips him up and lays him out fiat as a flounder. From . this weakness we have been disap- )ointed in our."great expectations'' of 13ut er; yea, grievously disappointed. He fails to come up to the mark of ."Old Thad. Ste vens." He can't begin to do it. Waat a tremendous old fellow was "Old Thai"' ia his quiet way! He was competent to lead the men around him. by the no.se, because he knew how to govern himself.' He was a man, too, of strong passions, and terrible iu his wrath; but he was not the maa to get up a tempest in a teapot, with himself in the tea pot. . He knew how to disarm his antagonist in the fiercest attack by turning the laugh upon him,' as Butler himself did on one happy occasion with his ""shoo fly." It "seenis strange that an elderly, big-hea led and i bald-headed Massachusetts lawyer, like Butler, should not be' equal to this sort of thing on all occasions. Bat he isn't. Farnsworth catches him napping, and he becomes on' his - dignity fiddlesticks as fnsey and ferocious as a fire-eater, or as a school-boy caught with a contraband water melon. We are sorely distressed at this affair. It placeB our champion, Butler, in the di lemma of . General Scott, when he was "caught with his breeches down." What are we to do? ' "I am afraid," as honest Old Abe is credited with saying of another man, " am afraid that our man is not as big as our measure, and that we must take him down a peg or two." Accordingly, we agree that But ler, incompetent to control himself, is, with all his great capabilities, reduced in Congress to the grade of an irresponsible bushwhacker, whose only safety, as at Bermuda Hundred, is under the wing of General Grant. STOP SQUANDERING THE PUBLIO LAND. Prom the X. I'. Tribune. The sooner this land-grant business for rail roads is now stopped the better. The other day the Senate wrangled for weary hours over a proposition to give a solid block of publio lands, fifty miles wide and two to three hun dred niiies long, to comparatively useless local railroads one of them running through out almost its entire lengtn wittun ten or twelvejmiles of the other. A Senate that can do this can do anything. We appeal to the House to watch for and put its foot squarely on this bill. For the rest, we ask . that the only remaining great through railroad to the Pacific be generously treated, and that there this giving away of the publio lands to cor porations be brought to a peremptory stop. We do not care to argue the question with which the Senate dawdled away the day, about tne legal claim of tne Central Branch Kansas Pacifio Railway to Government bonds beyond the amount already issued. We do not believe it has such a claim, either legal or equitable; and the Senate, more than onoe or .twice, ' nas formally recorded tne same opinion. But if it has, we are utterly and unalterably opposed to so costly a mode of extinguishing it. Let every tub stand on its own bottom. Let the railaoad enforce its claim to the bonds. If it can make the claim good it will get them. We can better afford to pay the bonds thrice over than consent to the threatened alternative. . For it is nothing less than the overthrow of the whole judicious system on which grants of lands for publio improvements have hitherto been made, that id threatened. We have consistently and most heartily favored the great grants , hitherto liberally awarded. We believe that every one of them has added as much to the available area of our publio lands as it has taken away. It is a case where giving has not impoverished where the half that remained was better than the original whole. ' The railroads built by this means have opened vast regions to travel and trade, have made settlements possible, and brought the market to the pioneer's door. Every acre of publio land within a huudrel miles of the Union Pacific, between Omaha and Promontory, was doubled in value to the Government by the wise gift tha t made the railroad possible. Bat the whole system depends for its virtue, for its very essence, upon the rigid reservation of the alternate sections. Abandon that, and you convert it from a beneficent civilizer, dot ting the prairie with villages and covering the plains with waving grain, to a monstrous incubus, m monopoly of land in speculators' hands, a wall that will turn aside settlements more effectually than ever tne Chinese wall repelled the advancing Tartars. That thins the Senate has consented to do in the case of a local road of insignificant importance. We prav the House to stop this bill: but. above all, we pray House and Senate to put a peremptory baa upon the baneful principle L - A J 4 - 1 . T t L ll promises it) lauuuuie. xi wo i-uuuui pre serve alternate sections for actual settlers, let us preserve all. Better be without rail roads fur tbe accommodation of settlers than witLoiit stttlera within twenty-five miles of the railroads. We can afford to dispense with these local roads for the present; we cannot afford to dispense with the lands for our pioneers. The policy of the Senate is fatal; we entreat the House to resist it at the outset.' i v ' FIREWORKS IN THE SENATE. From the S. T. Timet, The Senate has joined In the general pas time of letting off fire-crackers. It has just prepared five for the especial benefit of the insurgents in Cuba. Like other composi tions of the same kind, they will splutter and "fizz" for a brief space, and then be no more seen or heard. Mr. Sumner can be almost as skilful as Mr. Banks in the manu facture of these noisy but useless articles, when he is in the mind. His hand is very plainly to be seen, in the new Cuban resolutions reported from the Committee on Foreign Relations. The rhetorio of the resolutions is striking, although the grammar is defective a fault which may perhaps be ascribed to the heat of the weather. Jaded Senators are apt to fly in the face of Lindley Murray when the dog-days are close upon them. The principal objection to these new reso lutions is that they commit Congress to an interposition in foreign affairs which would be utterly without purpose or effect. The voice of the United States ought never to be raised in vain. If Congress is to interfere, let it interfere in a manner worthy of the nation which it assumes to represent. - The system of "meddling and muddling" only tends to weaken our influence abroad, and connequently cannot possibly help any cause in which we may happen to be interested. Mr. Sumner's resolutions amount to nothing more than a protest which may instantly be shelved by the power to which it is addressed. This is frittering away the influence right fully possessed by Congress. If we cannot give any assistance to the . cause of Cuban independence, we need not go out of our way to weaken those with whom we profess to sympathise. ...' The didactic tone of the resolutions is very nearly enough to kill them. "In the name of humanity they (the people of the United States) solemnly ' insist that these things shall cease." "Instead of terminating this pretension at once, the Spanish Government propose to protect it for an indefinite period by an impossible system of gradualism." Tbe lost sentence may well puzzle all the wise men of Spain. What is the use of ad dressing a remonstrance to a foreign power couched in the tone of a stump speech ? The sentiment which is at the bottom of. . the resolutions is admirable. But .Mr. Sumner might have put in ten lines all that he hi spun out into a hundred. This stvl j "preaching" at Spain is worse than nonsen sical. Congress ought to do more than pass windy resolutions, or else do nothing at all. W hile the subject is thus being trifled with, we learn that the Spanish authorities in Cuba have been suddenly seized with a great anxiety to keep clear of awkward complica tions with American citizens. 1 They have not arrived at that frame of mind a day too soon. We had submitted to as much abuse of their power as we could well bear. Henceforth a severe reparation will be exacted for every outrage committed upon men who can law fully claim the protection of our flag. TERRIBLE ' SWEEP OF THE FOUR- , TEENTH AMENDMENT. From the N, Y. Bun. Judge Bradley of the United States Su preme Court made a very remarkable appli cation of some of tne provisions of tne four teenth amendment, while recently holding the Circuit Court in New Orleans. About a year ago the Legislature of Louisi ana passed an act forbidding the slaughtering of animals in and around New Orleans, except at specified points and under certain regula tions. The same act created a corporation, called "The Crescent City Live Stock Landing and Slaughter House Company," and con ferred upon it the exclusive privilege of carrying on the business of slaughtering cattle within tbe prescribed , limits, though it was made the duty of the company to slaughter cattle for any person on the payment of a small fee. . , . , . ' . , . Suits for violating the corporate privileges of this company finally reached the United Slates Court, and a bill in equity was there filed to restrain the company from exercising its privileges under the act,, on the ground that it was unconstitutional. Judge Bradley overruled the decision of the State Courts w bich bad sustained the validity of the act, and he held that it conflicted with those pro visions of the fourteenth amendment which declare that no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any persons, of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor. deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, He also held that the Civil Rights bill gave the Federal Courts the authority to enforce those provisions of the amendment. ' And therefore he pronounced the Louisiana law unconstitutional, and issued an injunction against the company. The question i" whether this novel decision can stand fire. It has produoed great com motion in New Orleans, Judge Dibble, of one of the j local court, declaring that if it is' sound law, then "Wendell Phillips' construc tion of the Government is true, and the States are reduoed to mere counties.". At all events, if it is affirmed,' then doubtless a good deal of the legislation of the States, and many of the ordinances of our cities, . will come within the range of the fourteenth amendment. Let monopolists of all grades hasten to make their peace with Judge Bradley by aban doning their exclusive privileges. Big Six is especially in danger. What if we could get an injunction to deprive . Tammany of power to rob the people of this city ? ; x . j, ; POLITICAL QUIET. ' From the London baturdat Review. ' ' Jn agitated times everything is agitated, and in quiet times everything is quiet. Why this Is no one can exactly say, but the truth of it is apparent to everyone. Things are very quiet just now. Causes of rupture do sot lead to ruptures, and insurrections do not create much terrror, nor disappointments much regret. If a little wild effort is made here and there, it is snuffed out as if it were the mere explosion of a cigar-light. In Canada, a general goaded into action by the reproaches of maid-servants led his Fenians to the fight, until he was whipped off the scene by a hum ble American official, who, with the aid of a couple of followers, swept him away in a fly. In Italy, a most incomprehensible person,- of the name of Nathan, appears to have descended - from Switzerland, and led for ward a fiery band of wild people, exactly as if they , were the chorus in an opera, to the overthrow of the Italian Goverumei but finding that the Italian Government de clined to be overthrown, he gave his chorus ten francs a head, and sent them home again. In Portugal there really has been a revolu tion, and a successful one; but then it was all got over before breakfast, and the chief anxiety of the King appears to have been that the revolution should not wake , the Queen before she was ready to get up. A revolution so contrived as not to wake a Queen, in, if possible, something more quiet than no revo lution at alL In Spain, an indefinite inter regnum, ordinarily the worst and most dan gerous of political states, appears todo.no harm, and to be compatible with a cnrioui amount vof lazy, quiet, and gentle politioal excitement. In France, the Emperor has within the last few months thwarted, en couraged, obeved. and baffled Imnerin.1 Libe ralism, according to his guesses at what would suit him best, and yet no one is very much set against him by his conduct or very much drawn towards him. At Rome the Pope is going to invent a new dogma said to in volve awful consequences and the vast ma jority of Europeans look on with wonder and good-natured contempt. Lastly, here at home, the Upper House, an assembly com posed almost entirely of great landowners, is about to discuss a measure until lately pro nounced to be subversive of the best and holiest rights of property, and the only ques tion ia whether any of them will think it worth while ' to oppose tbe second reading. Certainly we have fallen on quiet times, and nothing seems able to break the quiet; and yet how short a time is it since everwhere great shocks of . change had begun or were expected, since the sun of England was an nounced ns positively going to set in gore, and since Germany, France, and Italy were supposed to be trembling on the verge of war, and Air. Beales and his friends were tearing down our railings. What are the reasons of this reign of peace through almost the whole of the civilized world ? Probably it is only a momentary reign, but still its existence, even if acci dental and temporary, is remarkable. The obvious' reply is, that material interests not only bind nations together every year more end more,' but that they occupy a larger share of the time and attention of persons of every rank, and calling in each nation. Political power tends constantly to fall into the hands of busy men, and busy men wish politics so to go on that their business shall, if possible. not be interrupted. Of all nations France has been the most changed by the absorption of its activity in industrial and commercial enterprise; and it is. true, to an extent of which . frenchmen are' proud, that when France is content Europe is at rest. Tbe French can do so very much mischief if they are in a mischievous mood, that it ia of primary importance that they should have innocent work provided for their idle hands to do. 1 The revolutionary classes are also getting more discredited as common people begin to understand better what misery their success would cause, and as the better of their members become interested in the working' and maintenance of that which exists by the wider diffusion of political life. The recent plebiscite in France shows tho frantic zeal of ordinary Frenchmen for any man and any political system that simply oners them safety. And the number of per sons who dread war and revolution, not only in their own country, but in the world in general, is continually increasing. The enor mous and incessant creation of foreign loans, for example, which excites and attracts the speculative publio, binds over a new number of persons from ween to ween to watch, over the peace of the world. Within the last few days Englishmen have been invited with great success to stake considerable sums on the continuance of peace, good government, and prosperity in Spam, lioumania. and Peru. The notion widely . prevails, , and is in the main well grounded, that it is better to trust governments than any private companies, and experience shows that men who will dis appoint every other hope with the most ready carelessness shrink: to the last extremity be fore the terrors of national repudiation. Bat .the peace that now prevails everywhere rests also on something more creditable to man kind than the speculations and anxieties of private peceniary interests. The chief coun tries of the world are quiet because they have all, with scarcely any exception, got i recently , something that they wanted. Their - desires for change have been satsified. They can repose with some sort of dignity and satisfaction to themselves. Germany and Italy have made themselves, and recoil from anything that would tend to unmake them. , Spain, manages its affairs in a very eccentric way, but at any rate it has managed to give the Bourbons and the priests a very severe lesson., , The United States may well pride themselves on' the courage and pertinacity with which they fought oat their great fight, on the vast resources they dis played, and on the enlightened patience of taxation which they have manifested. In England we have had a Reform bill, and we cave done away with the Irish Uhurch. The , first has contributed to political peace, partly by. stopping" the agita tion of reformers, but still more by placing the nation in harmony with its repre sentative assembly, ine wcarv time of com plete Parliamentary ineptitude, when scarcely anything could be proposed, and very little of that which was proposed could be carried, is over; and tbe nation finds once more in the House of Commons an instrument of effective and bold legislation. The disesta blishment of the Irish Church has taken away from Englishmen that barrier between themselves and justice to Ireland which made all salutary legislation for Ireland im- possible. Great things have been done; and if.it is natural to feel satisfied that they have been done, and if there is a calm now in which English statesmen may rejoice, it cer tainly has been attained alter very arduous efforts, and in spite of the gravest difficulties.

It is tbe property of the stimulant to diffuse, and by the aid of its peculiar nutritious component parts to invigorate. regulate, counteract and restore, and it is by the happy union of the principle of activity with the principle of in- vigoration and restoration that enables To accomplish beneficial results.
