' FASHIONABLE MECHANICS.
From the A. Y. Tribune.
Mr. Blanchard Jerrold is just now giving to
our over-crowded cousins over the water his
ideas of how they may most readily attain
fresh air and. food for both their cramped
bodies and minds. One of the largest and
most pitiable classes in England, he suggests,
is the decayed gentry, the ''genteel poverty
which starves and Hhrinks' from the public
eye. . The pinch of hunger," he alleges, "un
der faded bilks and satins is sharpest." We
ere then treated to a pathetic picture limned
in darkest colors of these pawres hon teux the
sons of penniless baronets and honorables
"driven to the city to become clerks, or the
daughters of clergymen sinking into seam
stresses or nursery governesses. We have a
class in America which parallels these unfortu
nates; one which, curiously enough, is as yet
xi o painted among us by either poet or novelist.
We have no .decoyed gentry to occupy that
dreadful, doubtful Debatable Land in society,
where one walks on red-hot ploughshares, for
ever aping and miming dignities which are
not rightfully ours. We have too few "good
old families and are too prosperous a people
to furnish a class who have sunk to this level,
but we do provide countlesa aspirants who
Rave scrambled up to it men and women
far more deserving of pity than the gentleman
or gentlewoman in their shabby clothes, who
are yet conscious of that strength or memory
within which passeth both show and the want
of it.
The shabby-genteel is a melancholy spec
tacle enough, but the vulgar-genteel is a sight
over which gods and men ought to weep in
stead of laugh. Who does not know the
species in all its miserable pretentious variety
from the newcomer into Fifth avenue, with
her tawdry ormolu and brocade, to the boss
xar pen tor's wife with her painted Brussels
and sleazy .silk flounces? Just now, at this
holiday noon of the year, this great factitious
sham element of American society thrusts
itself into ' notice most glaringly. It is the
matter of dress perhaps that is the most
evident symptom of the disease which has
infected our society. We have not so much
fault to find with extravagance or luxury in
outward garb of houses or persons when they
are confined to those who can afford them,
or who understand their uses. A beautiful
woman chastely and artistically dressed,
or a house .which is a home, furnished
meaningly, serve the same esthetic purpose
as a fine picture; and as to the
mere financial bearing of the matter, it is
better that Madame La Parvenue should
scatter her newly gained wealth from her
unable fingers among honest dressmakers
and upholsterers than that her son should
fling it away at the race course or faro table.
But what shall we say to Stubbs, the worn
out,' gray-haired book-keeper, half of whose
two thousand a year go to provide his wife
and daughters with cheap false paniers, cheap
false chignons, and a cheap loud fortnight
at Saratoga all modelled strictly after the
fashion of Madame ? Or to Smith, the pea
nut man, whose wife, with chignon, panier,
etc., still cheaper, still tawdrier, flaunts it
for a week in defiant imitation of the Stubbs?
Or of Dora the chambermaid, and Polly the
cook, who go with their "young gentlemen,"
glass jewelry hanging from their ears, hemp
twisted about their heads, and the calves of
their legs stuffed with sawdust, to jostle and
parade with the best at Cape May ? Madame
La Parvenue has cast into the treasury of
folly out of her abundance, but these poor
wretches have given all they had.
It heeds but an hour's walk on the beaoh
or in the ball-room at any of our fashionable
places of resort to know how culture, home
comfort, education, all chances for higher or
more honorable lives, are being sacrificed by
a large class of our mechanics and working
men to the idol of sham Fashion a poor and
ludicrous imitation of the falsest of realities.
The money which might give to the shop
keeper or smith a sound domestio comfort,
and fit his children to rise surely and steadily,
is spent in making him and them objects of
ridicule and pity to the very people whom he
servilely imitates. His daughter in mock
satin and cotton lace draggles through the
sands at Long Branch a dress whose design
and shape originally lent grace to a duchess
in her own drawing-room.' Nor is it the
present outlay which is the sole evil; the mil
dew of decay rots not only the purse but the
moral sense. Calico or silk ? becomes at last
the problem of life to the girl, as a hired hack
or a thorough-bred does to her brother. The
' whole frame of society from head to foot is
feverish, tainted with impure and worthless
desires.
Nor is it worth while to allege that the
fault lies in the wealthier classes, and that
the remedy must come from .their reforma
tion. Effective reforms in any people have
always begun in the lower strata, grown out of
their need, worked upward to leaven the
mass. There is, perhaps, among the me
chanics and tradesmen of this country a
larger amount of sound practical sense, if less
refinement or culture, than in the classes
they imitate. It is high time that this com
mon sense was put to work in their own
home aff airs as well as in the matters of poli
tics and trades unions. Let any one of them
look calmly at his own and his wife's way of
life, and determine whether a servile outside
aping of others, and ignobly debased ambi
xion as to the ends of life, about the family
artb, will not surely corrupt in future the
Ngth and happiness of the country.
WIIA.
THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON
MIGLn gflLL DO WITH ADVANTAGE.
From the
Y. Time.
The first.
$reat defeat of the French has

forced upon him by publio opinioL,MK ,
seems to have felt it would be alike val for
him to accept or refuse. The French fcople
uave long ween eager, to provoKe a .jai
oi siren gm wim rrussia. Tne "It hi
frontier" is ' the most cherished of ' i
their di earns. Since 18CG thev have been
more and more afraid of Prussia. The
Fpanish intrigue was discovered, and the
excitement of the French could no longer be
controlled. "The people have slipped out
of my hands," was Napoleon's remark to an
English correspondent who saw him. M.
Thiers, an unprejudiced witness, says, in a
lrtter puldihhed in the English papers, he
had "always been of opinion that the time
would come when the ambition oi Pruaia
would t?.ve to le resisted by Frisce." Uat
he admits that his countrymen could not be
restrained. He 'does not say the Emperor
could not be held back but his countrymen.
Impartial history will probably record that
the French people forced the war on Napo
leon, if not to his own destruction, at least
to his imminent peril.
We may well afford, while sympathizing
with the Germans in this contest, to observe
with careful eyes the events which are bow
taking place in the world events which
have never been exceeded in importance
since the French Revolution, and which are
destined, as we have always believed, to
change the whole current of modern Euro
pean history. To suffer ourselves to be
misled by the ignorant cries of wild fanatics
would be unworthy of us as men who are
living in times destined to stand out in
history with terrible significance. We may
be against France in this struggle, but it is
not necessary to insult France by asserting, as
one of our contemporaries has done, that all
the French troops are drunk when they march
to the war, and that . the people are bitterly
opposed to it. Let us, at least, as publio his
torians, tell the truth frankly, no matter
where our sympathies may be. If we believe
that Germany is in the right, that is no
reason why we should garble the news which
finds its way into our columns. As for Na
poleon, what does his life signify in this
gigantic struggle, one way or the other? He
is but an accident of the hour. Strike him
out of the scene altogether, and this war
would be waged with tenfold intensity on the
part of France for then the great present
cause of political differences would be re
moved, and every man in France would rise
to beat back the tide of invasion. Bat while
the Emperor remains there are divisions
where all should be unity. If Napoleon
were to abdicate at this moment, and
leave the war to be conducted by other hands,
he would assist France infinitely more than
he can do by pretending to lead her armies.
His health is bad. His spirits are broken.
By abdicating he would stand in a better
position before the world than he can hope to
do now, even although an accident might
give him a great victory. For he is charged
with being the sole cause of the war, and the
London Times, for instance, asserts that if
he were out of the way the war would cease.
The predictions and statements of theLondon
Times throughout our own war were so re
markably accurate, and so manifestly dictated
by a love of truth and fair play, that we
cannot fail to attach the greatest importance
to its suggestions now. Its opinion is
scarcely less decisive than the "opinion of
Antwerp," concerning which, by-the-by, the
cable has not kept us properly informed since
Monday.
In any case, Napoleon, by withdrawing
from the scene, would put the question to the
test whether or not the war binges solely
upon him. This is, perhaps, the most favor
able termination to his rule which he can
reasonably look for. If he did not make this
crisis, it is all the more reason why he should
not attempt to control it. He is a cause of
weakness instead of strength to the country.
France may be beaten under an Emperor,
but it has always been found impossible to
reduce her under a Republic Politically,
indeed, republics do not flourish on French
soil. They end in bloodshed and anarchy.
But they at least have always known how to
defend the country. The people know what
they are fighting for when a Republio bids
them to advance against an invader. In 1792
Frenchmen conld turn aside from their own
Revolution to sweep back the Austrian in
vaders. Prussia would find her antagonist
fifty-fold more formidable if a Republio were
declared to-morrow, tone mignt atiii conquer,
but her task would be more difficult. As for
the restoration of the Orleans family, it is a
hopeless chimera. There will be no King in
France until a.Republic has had yet another
trial.
TIIE FARCE OF A REGENCY.
From the N. T. Herald.
In olden times when sovereigns went to the
wars it became necessary sometimes to esta
blish a regency for the government of the
realm in their protracted absence. Many of
these puissant warriors passed years away
from their country, and it took them often
many months to go and come from the seat
of war. Richard the Lion Heart was four
years absent from England, battering away
at the walls of Acre, doppa ana Ascaion;
Philip of France was nearly two years on the
same crusade, in which they were in a mea
sure isolated from the seat and offices of gov
ernment. But how different is it now, when
kings and emperors can reach the seat of war
in a lew nours Dy rauruau, uuu uireui. iuo
councils of the nation by telegraph! In these
days of telegraphs and railroads tne idea or a
regency is a farce. And what greater could
there be in this eryigntenea age tnan tne
present regency of France? With all respect
for the estimable lady wno occupies tne lie
gent's chair, we must regard her position as
one of those stage effects in which Napoleon
so much delights. This establishment of the
Empress as Regent with so much show and

sation taking a little boy to the battle-field to
pick up bullets. What was the necessity of a
regency for France wnen tne emperor was
only going a few hundred miles from Paris,
and is actually not out of i rauce at all.''
Napoleon has been making a good many
blunders of late some very silly, like those
referred to, and some very grave indeed.
like the idea tnat it only required a
great mass of men thrown to the frontier
in order to conquer Prussia. He has dis
covered since that brains as well as soldiers
are required for that task. And he has
discovered another thing, too that there
is a fair share of brains on the other side
of the Rhine. "Our Fritz" and our "Carl"
are not epauletted puppets. They are good
soldiers, well skilled in all the require
ments of the work they have in hand, both
in council and on the field. If Napoleon
can see his way before him he will quit
these showman's tricks, in which women and
babies play the second parts, and abdicate
in favor of the French people and ropubli
.can liberty. There is nothing else left for
him, unless be can retrieve the defeat to his
arms at once.
' THE REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.
From t4 X. T. Bun.
The Republican Congressional Committee
cave issued an address to tne Republican
party. . In giving a Bketch of the rise and
progress of the party, it divides its existenoe
into i our epoens, nameiy, vue six years pre
vious to tne election oi ljincom, tne war
for the suppression of the Rebellion, the re
construction era, and General Grant's admin-
lftration. Though a partisan appeal rather
tha an impartial ht&tory, its recital is in the
main correct until it reaches the fourth
opoch, Hie present administration.
In entering upon the defense of the ad
ministration, the committee are farced to
admit that the expectations of many Repub
licans have not Leen realized in the action
t-ither of the President or of Congress. In
that there is a good deal of dissatisfaction. in 1
the Republican ' party with the failure of
General Grant to redeem the pledges made
when he entered upon tfllee. It needed no
such address to assure the country of this;
but coming from such a high quarter, and in
the form of an appeal to the people on tne
eve of elections which are to determine the
political character of the next Congress, and
perhaps settle the next Presidency, the ad
minsion is very significant.
This fatal admission is not compensated by
the committees elaborate laudation of the
financial policy of the administration, which
is put forth as its chief merit The committee
grossly exaggerate the complacency with
which the people accept this policy. By
keeping up, during the past eighteen months,
the war rates of taxation, including the odious
and unconstitutional income tax, the admin
istration has been able to call in some of the
outstanding obligations of the Government.
But before a sorely burdened community
sings ptrans to a policy that robs Peter to pay
Paul, it prefers to wait and see whether, nnder
the boasted prospective reduction of taxes,
the Treasury will be full enough to enable the
Secretary to continue to bull live-twenties on
the Slock Exchange.
The address sounds the praises of the In
dian policy of General Grant; but before the
people join in the chorus they desire to hear
xhe echo from beyond the Mississippi, and to
learn whether Red Cloud, Spotted lau, and
their brother braves chime in. It will be time
enough to smoke the calumet when the war
whoop, now in full blast on the plains, has
died away.
Ibe committee pronounce their unqualified
eulogium upon the course of the administra
tion towards the States lately in rebellion ;
but they fail to give us their opinion upon
the proscriptions, corruptions, and downright
thieving of the carpet-bag governments in
11 c-A-i vr. J ii, 1 r 1. il
tuubo outlets. i.wi uu luey luiuriu us wuoiuot
they disapprove of the scarcely concealed pur
pose of General Grant to aid those govern
ments in retaining power by f radulent elec
tions this fall, and to uphold them by the
bayonet on tne condition tnat they will sup
port his administration.
Ibe address, though long and elaborate,
omits all reference to the most prominent
feature and most conspicuous failure of the
administration its foreign policy. It does
not utter a solitary word upon this important
subject. It puts forth no extenuation for the
inexcusable neglect to try and do something
to secure a settlement of tne Alabama claims.
It has no scathing rebuke of the greasy St.
Domingo job. It is silent about Cuba.
After all, this oruisMon to relcr to the for
eign policy of the administration is natural.
For, in defense, or extenuation, or even ex
planation of a policy so imbecile, so corrupt,
so disgraceful and humiliating, what could
the 'committee say? The name of Henry
Wilson is signed to this address as chairman.
Thoroughly acquainted with Hamilton Fish,
and knowing how feeble he is, could the
robust Massachusetts Senator laud his
weak, wavering administration of the
State Department? Mr. Wilson takes pride
m obeying the benasts and reflecting the
opinions of the Commonwealth which sent
him to Washington. He does not forget that
a committee of its Legislature has recently,
in accordance with sworn testimony, shown
J. Bancroft Davis, the Assistant Secretary of
State, to be guilty of bribery, corruption,
and gross breach of trust, while acting as
director, trustee, and counsel of a leading
railway corporation. With this record stariug
him' in the faco, could Henry Wilson return
to Massachusetts after putting his name to a
document that lauded a department of the
Government whose chief officer tolerated the
presence of such a colleague ? Of course he
could not, and tneretore tne committee Keep
silence about the foreign policy of the ad
ministration. Upon the whole, we think this address will
damage rather than advance the interests
of the Republican party.
