2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1870. onn.iT or Txxn russs. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topic Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. LEAIiNED LADIES. From the t. Y. lYibune. This Leirg the annual saeson of Univorsity jubilees, it would be impossible not to notice tlia spcce vrbich young women now claim in the reports of tLofie highly interesting cele brations. A great uuany girls, wo observe; in different parts of the land, are receiving the degree of A. 11. t which, for obrious reasons, in their CRRe, scents to have been substituted for the liacculaureate. It is utterly impossible to call a fresh, blooming, and beautiful de ruoiKt llo a "Bachelor of Arts," for the most enthusiastic tea-drinker of the Sorosis must ece tbe solecism of such an addition. Neither, an we understand it, is the feminine "A. M." to be regprded an an initial expression of "Aitium Maginter," for that would bo eiivully ininropor. It signifies, as we are told, Mia tresa of Arts," and means about as much . when it is given to women as wIihu it is given to men which is very little in deed. We have always felt that this Mas ter's degree Mas about the absurdest leg'icy sent down to ua from the scholistic ogep. V are tempted, about this time au nuH'ly, to enquire: "Master of Arts! What Aitsi' All of them? Tainting? Poetry? Sculpture? Architecture? Law? Physic? TLeology? Civil Engineering? Tho Useful? The Mechanical? The Liberal? The Polite? Tbe Arts of Wex or the Arts of Peace? Ali! the cabalistic letters give us no information upon these points respecting the fortunate indi viduals who have been decorated. A student taltes his "A. D.," and goes immediately iuto the cod-fif;h or cotton business. Three years after he boldly approaches his Alma Mater with the requisite fees in his hand, and do niftuds of bei a Master's diploma. The com plying dame battens to grant his request; and be watches proudly away, to the music of a brass band, bearing the attesting skin neatly tied up with bonny blue ribbons. We have looked over the programmes of several of the female commencements, and, lor ail that we can see, they are exactly like the programmes in the colleges devoted to the other kind of young human beings. These graduating girls, equally with the boys, develop a prrpeumty to select ambitious sub jects, and what is reported of the exercise shows the same queer aping of profound wisdom and the same suspicion on the part of the writers, that the reading of their per formances subjects the world to some danger of i premature conflagration. Here, for instance (:.n a Chicago newspaper), wo had an account of the coramencemeut of tho No? lb western Femalo College at Evanstou. Everything was according to the orthodox pattern, including a "Salutatory" (in the P.oman tongue), "Music by the Band," and "Ibo Valedictory." The reporter is kiud enough to give bis opinion of the performances, as reporters are sure to do upon such occasions. Of the "Salutatorian ess" it is observed that "her motions were extremely graceful." The next address was well digested, and bad a vein of humanity running through it." The third "went on a little too fast." In the fourth, "Homer, Cicero, Demosthenes, and several other well known gentlemen now dead, were compli mented. The fifth "was historical, geo logical, astronomical, romantic, high-flown, and comprehensive." The sixth (on "Geo logy") was "written with a dashing and flow ing pen." The seventh "regretted the un solved condition of tbe problem of the North west passage.'' The valedictory followed, "bringiug tears to many a bright eye," for it wbb (says the discriminating reporter) "couched in choice language, went straight Loie, and was delivered in a feeling man ner." Then certain young women were made "Laureates of Arts,' aDd certain "Mistresses of Arts," and still others "Mistrusses of Scnnco;" the alumni had the usual dinner and all was over ! Wo have but little to add to this account by way of comment, but we feel that we should show ourselves devoid of sympathy ind wanting in gallantry if we failed to con dole with tho joung mistresses of the N. W. University upon the extremely flippant and flabby way in which all their fine things (which no doubtcost them gallons of mid night kero.ieno.) have been reported to the country. But repo-ters who are of an iudo lent disposition, or who are pressed for room, find a ready resource in adjectives, of which their assortment (especially of those which are complimentary) is usually (as the haber dashers suy) "large and well selected." It is thought to be quite enough to inform man kind that a speaker was ''eloquent," or "af fecting," or "bumorons," or that "his re marks were well received by a large and "apprecintive audience;" and what he really did bay is generally considered of but little imvortanco. But apart from curiosity, to a fair amount of which we are willing to make confession, we think it would be interesting and instructive to know something of the t Sect which a quasi collegiate course of in struction has upon the minds of youug v vmen. Does it, for instance, serve to de velop tnd strengthen the logical faculty iu which most women are deiiciont, so that hereafter, with these Mistresses of Art at least, we may be able to hold high argument without a jumble of premises and conclu sions, without perpetual begging of the ques tion, and without that most irritatiug of ex pedients, the argumentvm ad homincm ? Un questionably, the Female University must be a va.il improvement upon the old-fashioned t oai ding-school, to which misses were con B'grjed vith the "two towels and ajspoon" re ouired bytberules. Under any circumstances. it is, at least in opportunity, better than the curriculum of worsted work, painting on vel vet (with a verv little French, music, and drawing) which was formerly pursued in young Indies' seminaries; but it is an improve ment only as it is likely to ailed the imiauits and tastes of a more advanced period oi life. To be sure, tbe tule here i the same which, ia common fuirness, we must equally apply to institutions for yoaug men. If student spends four years in acquiring an elementary knowledge of the ureek language, and at once upon bis graduation begins to forget tbe little which ha knows of that noble tongue, it may perhaps be saying too much to aver that bis time has been wasted; but apart from a necessary improvement of his literary taste, that will bo unpleasantly near to the truth. Ho if a young woman who nron leaving ber "university' can construe Virgil or Horace without mora than au occasional reference to an English traus lation, gels married, 1ms half a dozen children, and is forced to devote her re'it to the constantly multiplying cares of fcer household, it is probable that iu ten years she will Imraly be abl to read even the simplest Latin irose. Tun the ( biection to sjitnding too much time upou the flatties fpplit vi'b equal force both to boys and girls. It is only when there exists in the student of either aex an absolute and well-marked tst-te for these studies that they can be pursued with muoh hope of advantage. Still, the young women, who have now their colleges well endowed, and each with n re spectable faculty, can no longer complain that they are debarred from what is usually called a liberal education. In this, as in runny other matters, there no longer exists uriy reason for ancient protests ana stereo typed fault-finding. For ourselves, we have always considered discussion of the equality of the sexes as a lamentable waste of time which should be precious; for the question, it appears to on, is not one of equality, but of difference. But when so much is to be decided, we must not object to experiments; and woman can no longer plead that she is cruelly and despotically cut off from Op portunity. ENGLAND'S RULE IN IllELAND. Frcnti tht A. Y. 2vus. Mi. Glaitstoue's Government resorts to singular expedients by way of proving the esri.c h-tness of its desire for the pacification of Ireland. The reconciliation of the Irish people to English rule was one of the pur poses professed at the formation of the Min ihtry, whose strength in the House of Com mons Keen ed to be a guarantee for the ful filment of its pledges. All its perform ances, however, have been inconsistent and unstitisfactory. Each succeeding attempt to do justice to Ireland has been followed by messures equivalent to a confession tuat no real progress towards an enduring settlement hud been achieved. Coercive measures have cast a sbsdow over measures avowedly friendly in their nature. The dises tablishment of the Protestant Church was attended with the enactment of authority to "proclaim" districts, and to subject news papers to processes and penalties not known in England since the days of Castlereagh. Ibo diKcussiou of the Lai-d bill in the House of Lords proceeds simultaneously with the passiige of a Felony bill through the Com mons. An anectation of friendship and a stern exercise of force go on together. The Ministeis who set out with a promise to give order and security to Irelund practically con fess that they do not understand the causes of ber trouble, or that they are unable or un willing to apply adequate remedies. A liberal government, after months of trial, virtually acknowledges that the maintenance of its power in the disaffected isle depends upon the free use of weapons, from which even the despotisms of the present day have instinc tively sLrunk. 1 Le suppression of Protestant ascendancy for that is what disestablishment logically means was doubtless the removal of a sub stantial grievance. But though it went too far to please the Anglican bishops, it did not f.o far enough to satisfy the liouian Catholics. The latter insist that the repudiation of An glican pretensions in ecclesiastical matters should be followed by the restoration to tho liouian Catholic Church of edifices and pro perties of which, in other days, it was de- spoiltd; that the confiscations which were among tbe earliest evidences of England's su premacy should now be revoked. At the moment, then, that we were led to look for peace us the consequence of a great stroke of le(tislaticn, we actually witnessed unusual out bursts of popular discontent. Violent resist ance to law became, in some districts, more frequent than ever, the "Nationalist" Press urging with increased vehemence the futility of all attempts at compromise. Then came the enactment of fresh coercive measures, which stand upon the statute-book a melan choly commentary on Mr. Gladstone's Irish policy. the pending .Land bill promises to be not oi.e wliit more effectual. Judged by old- fashioned notions of landlords' rights, some of its provisions are radical enough. It asserts a right of interference which the land- ov neis of England and Scotland cannot view with unconcern. But what to them would savor of agrarianism, only half meets the exigencies of the case in Ireland. The old, uiidjing feeling of the conquered towards the conqueror complicates a question otherwise not difficult of solution. The tillers of Irish Mollmxe no faith iu the intentions of their "alien" lord. The sense of a common in- teiest, and the presence of kindly feel ings, which make possible harmonious re lations between tbe owners and cultivators of tbe land in tho other parts of the British islands, exist only to a very limited extent in Ireland. Tbe result is, that ere the Land bill becomes law its failure as a measure of pacifi es turn appears to be assured. The Irish journals are analyzing its provisions, and de monstrating their lusumoiency as means of averting the cruelty and wrong-doing which biive rendered Irish evictions infamous throughout the world. Again, therefore, the spectacle is presented of the passage of a measure purporting to be for the removal of injustice, and designed by its authors as an indication of England s good will, but which is so manifest a failure tnat a uew Felony bill must be contrived to make England's autho litv secure. The gotnl intentions of the British Govern ment towards Ireland we cannot doubt. It has dared much and dene much to prove the genuineness of its desire to remove chronic evils and mitigate chronic discontent. And jet there is no abatement of the popular aversion to English rule. "Where there is smoke there is tire" is a maxim as applicable to Fenianism to-day as to Chartism thirty yeais ago; and it is to confront Fenianism that felony bills are couoocted and troubled districts "proclaimed." Tbe revival of the repeal movement, which has slumbered since the death of O'Connell, is another sign of the popular fever to which imperial sedatives are in vain applied. More significant still is the recurring expression ol a conviction on the pait of the men who aie neither remans nor Itepealera, that to Ireland must be conceded control over its own local concerns, leaving the Imperial re pre sentation possessed under the act of Union exi lnsivtly applicable to Imperial affairs, W batever shape the final settlement may assume, this now seems certain there can be to eff ective legislation for Irish grievances which does not recognize the means by which XLe union was consummated as the crown ing grievance of all. The organio relations ot Great Britain and Ireland need revision si.d amendment as conditions precedent of peace. If England will act as frankly and as boldly toward Ireland as Austria has acted toward Hungary, Mr. Gladstone will realize the happy results union, unuer nis present policy, re. main beyond bis reaeh. The task to which Count Beust hart addressed himself, with no ordinary sitcccbn. is identical in its nature with that which bathe the uritisb Minister. 'lbeie iuny be differences of opinion as to son e of tbe results which have rewarded the exertions of Count Beust, but there is none in reward to the fact that uuder his adminis trillion tbe Hungarian difficulty has dwindled down, and tint solid progress baa btien mide in tbe woik f oruuiziug an. I consolidating He Aubliiun-llui uuriaii empiro. That id tho lesson which English statesmen may advan tageously study. . Their greatest hindrance in an unwillingness to measure Irish grievances and Irish discontent by other than English ideas. Let them allow Ireland to be the in terpreter of her own wants, and the true union will, for the first time, begin. THE KEVISION OF TnE BIBLE. From the London Standard. Mr. Buxton hardly mended his case for transferring the revision of the Scriptures to a royal commission by changing the terms of bis motion bo as to invite the co-operation of the Government of the United States. Ori ginally he called upon the House of Com mons to affirm that "it is desirable the work should be placed in the bands of a royal com mission, instead of being left to a committee of convocation," but upon further considera tion be omitted all reference to convocation, and simply moved for an address praying the sovereign "to invite the President of the United States to concur with her Majesty in appointing commissioners to revise the autho rized version of the Scriptures." Now it is a debatable question whether the work of revi sion should be left to a committee appointed by convocation; but, as the Premier and Mr. Beresford Hope pointed out last night, there can be very little doabt as to the inadmissi bility of Mr. Buxton's second proposition. It is, of course, highly desirable that we should, if possible, produce such a version as may be acceptable to the thirty odd millions of English-speaking people on the other side of tbe Atlantic, but if tLis is only to be secured by tbe co-operation of American divines there are obvious difficulties in the way. Biblical scholars are few and far between in, America, and it unfortunately happens, from their po sition in the religious world, that tbe three or our whose services might be acceptable wculd by no means contribute to render the new version popular among their country men. Moreover, there is a fundamental hin drance to the proposed joint action of the President of the United States, seeing that the Constitution expressly and designedly bars the chief magistrate and his colleagues from ident:fying themselves in their public capacity with any distinctively religious movement. As Mr. Hope reminds us, the in fluence of Jefferson was successfully exerted to exclude any reference to the existence of a Supreme Being or any official recognition of Christianity. Even if this obstacle could be removed, it would not be wise to overlook tbe dangerous influence which the Urge and nourishing liouian (Jatholio commu nity would exercise in the composition of the American contingent. The sects are at war, but tbe lloman Catholics are a powerful and united body, and their efforts would be directed, not so much to improve tho Protestant version as to bring it into harmony with the llomish version. It is ob vious, however, tbat Mr. Buxton s proposition to enlist Amei ican co-operation was an after thought, and that bis main object is to take the question out of the hands of convocation as the representation of the Established Church. The member for East Surrey asserts with perfect truth that the authorized version is tbe property not of any particular Church or sect, but of the nation at large, and, as a corollary, that no one Church or Beet is en titled to monopolize the work of revising it. But we are not aware that either convocation or tbe Church have set up any claim of this kind. Perhaps, as the largest and most in fluential Christian body in the eiapire, the Church of England had a right, and was in Borne measure bound, to take the initiative; but no one who examines the constitution of the proposed committee and remembers that the most eminent Biblical scholars, totally irrespective of Church or creed, were invited to share in its labors, can doubt that convo cation approached the work in the largest and most enlightened spirit. We can under stand and sympathize with the protest of churchmen like Messrs. Henley and Newdegate, who shrink from tampering with the authorized version. We think their fears are exaggerated and that they overrate the danger of making the text of the Bible a subject of "free handling;" but they at least take up an intelligent ground of ob jection. But we cannot understand why the Church of England is to be debarred from playing a prominent part in a work in which she is so vitally interested and in which the scholarship of her clergy entitles ber to take the lead. Mr. Percy Wyndham considers tbat ecclesiastics are unfitted by their profes sional habits for the work of Biblical revi sion; but is not this equivalent to saying that experts are specially disqualified, or that an architect is the last person to be consulted about a design for a house, or a railway en gineer about a tunnel or a viaduct ? It is easy to sneer at convocation as Mr. Buxton does. It is a venerable, but, thanks to State ty ranny, an almost impotent body, and it is simply absurd to speak of it as given to "usurpation." Possibly it might become very tyrannical and despotic if it had the chance; but.considering how it is fettered and gagged at present.it would be as reasonable to charge a man bound band and foot with abus ing bis liberty. All tbat convocation has done in this instance is to take the initiative in giving effect to the almost universal demand for a revision of the Scriptures. It has nominated a committee to undertake the work, which comprises, in addition to an impartial selection from the most learned divines of the Church, all the most eminent Biblical scholars among the Nonconformist bodies w ho could be induced t J co-operate. No one can doubt the bona fides with which the committee has been chosen, and we ques tion whether Dissenters will not be disposed to applaud rather than condemn the zeal which prompted convocation on behalf of the Church in taking initiative. We do not hesi tate to Bay that under no other auspices would tbe labors of any body of revisers have had a chance of ending a general acceptance. Mr, Buxton contends that the work ought to be undertaken by the State ; and Mr. Gladstone and bis supporters appear to have at once perceived the awkward anachronism which would result if a liberal government were to assume the supervision of a purely religious enterprise just at tbe time when it is the policy of tbe liberal party to break down every tie which links the Mate with religion Of course Mr. Gladstone did not justify his opposition to tbe motion upon grounds like these. He declared that the Government were decidedly opposed, as a matter of prin ciple, to placing such a work as the revision of tbe Scriptures in the hands of any civil or publio body. He admitted it was highly necessary that tbe revision should be pro ceeded with, but proteased himself persuaded that it could not be usefully undertaken by the State, and that it was undesirable that any version should be prodnced under cir cumstances which would warrant the impres sion that it was imposed upon the country by authority. The present version, it is well to remember, was tbe fruit of long-protracted labors, and was not adopted as the authorized version until it had been stamped by the acceptance of a whole century. Kemiuding the House tbat tbe motion, if carried, would compel the Government to ask for a very considerable Bum of money, th Premier in sisted that it would be best to leave the mat ter in the hands of those who were properly interested in it, and for his own part he was not disposed to censure convocation for undertaking, at its own cost, and on its sole responsibility, the conduct of a great work of publio usefulness. Mr. Buxton was fain to withdraw his motion. DEPRECIATION OF DICKENS. From the K. Y. World. Of all disagreeable ways of saying disagree able things, commend us to the way of saying them as things tbat one would not say on any account, and shifting the responsibility of their utterance upon some imaginary and scandalous third person, whom one avails one self of the occasion mildly to rebuke. As thus: "The late so-and-so was a person whose estimable social qualities endeared him to a large circle of friends. It may perhaps be said by the censorious that the develop ment of these very social qualities led to oc casional manifestations of dissolute conduct abroad and domestic violence which estranged tbe fond heart of a once devoted and trusting wife and blasted the prospects of his unfortu nate children, but far be it from us to revive these unpleasant reminiscences at such a time. W e prefer to remember only his bet ter traits." Tho advantage of such a course is that it affords ready recourse to the excuse of the street boy when collared for throwing injurious snow-balls "Please, sir, it wasn't me; it was the other fellers as throwed it. Of this sort, in a marked decree, is the eulogiBtico-depreciatory style very commonly adopted by pulpit orators and by the reli gious press; and nowhere has it been more prominently displayed than in the case of the late Charles Dickens. We have had praises of bis morality sandwiched between hinted doubts of his Christianity; admiration of his genius and the philanthropic use he made of it in the alternate paragraphs with godly innuendoes of bis want of reverence to the "cloth;" and now the secular side of his character is attacked in an impersonally per sonal sort of way, and even his literary abi lity apologetically decried. "The genius of Dickens was not kingly; he was a kines jester," says the Independent, writing of him w ho, more than any other author of our time, guided his pen to a right royal, earnest pur pose, is or did be "invent the characters which be drew. As a matter of course, how ever, "this is not Baid to bis disparagement. But alas that dreadful harbinger of fur ther onslaught: But his peacll took wild freaks till its llbertv be came license. If lie found a character, he made a caricature oi it. ir ne cnacovereu a situation, he made a travesty of it. Deficient in Dlot. loose in style, frivolous in details, Cailyletsli In expression an inese criticisms may ne justly urged agauiBt cer tain parts of his many books. But who cares to pick these flaws in Dickens at any tune, and least of all the near hour of his funeral? Who, indeed ? Surely not the Independent. which would not for worlds "emphasize the fact" tbat he "was not a daring thinker;" that "bis mind was not cast in an heroio jnonld;" that "he was never quickened by that nne mBtinct lor popular liberty which. in a land of kingcraft, ought to have made him a democrat, a radicaL-an iconoclast." No, the Independent would "do him no in justice of that sort, but "contents itself "with what he was a lover of his kind; a friend of the friendless; a champion of the poor, the degraded, the outcast, the forlorn; whose "career was a prolonged beneficence to bis fellow-beings." Let you and us, dear reader, thank our stupid stars that in our ap preciation ot the latter qualities we were not profoundly critical enough to discover that their possessor could be a mere jester and ca ricaturist of unheroic mind, and devoid of the tine instinct which inspires in conoclasm and radicalism.
