THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1870. 5 Is it a v7-tc oymnaiB. From Our Own Correspondent. Niw YORK, Aug. 18, 1370. The Ice QumiIm. It Is not easy to learn the entire truth with reference to the ice q ties t ion, the subject is bo llppery. The majority of ice-consumers in New York suffer under the suspicion that they are being swindled, and nothing that the Presi dents of the two rival Ice companies do can remove this suspicion. The cause of complaint is that the price which private consumers are obliged to pay for ice is $1'50 per hundred, and that there is a rumor of the luxury's going up to $3 per hundred, or to just five times the price asked for it last summer. To fathers of families such figures are distracting. Such a state of things is almost as bad as it would be to put a tax on sleep, for ice in summer may be described as a sort of frigid dream to whose enchantment the stomach never tires of delivering itself. That dream, however, was sadly (.battered this summer. The ice that has been shoved upon private consumers in New York has been of that equivocal character known as snow-ice, and the average price of it has been four times as great as that charged a year ago. The Presidents of the Knickerbocker and the Washington Company protest that they are as innocent as the babe unborn. With those who believe in the doctrine of original sin the protestation will not go for much, since it is not contrary to that doctrine to hold that the embryo contains a good deal of incipient de pravity. Those presidential gentlemen, whom I have wenlioucd twice already, likewise declare that the false newspaper rumors with respect to a contemplated rise in the price of ice have P'icked the ice-dealing Yankees, from whom we obtain the article, into making extortionate de mands. Hence it is no longer possible for the ice companies in this city to obtain Kennebec ice at eight dollars per ton- The Kcnnebeckers see, by extracts from theTlew York papers, that the New York ice-dealers are making inordinate profits, and the Kenncbcckers themselves wax proportionately greedy. "Go to!" say they. 'Now let us sell ice at $10 a ton." And behold they sold at $10 a ton ice which it costs the New Yorkers $15 a ton to import. And that is the reason why the crystalline gelidity is now carted round at $150 per hundred. That's what's the matter with the metropolitan Hannah! Dir. Jefferaon's Opening IS'lht. I have never seen Mr. Jefferson play before a larger, more intelligent, and more enthusiastic audience than that which last night waited upon his performance of "Hip Van Winkle." Although I confess to a growing feeling of weariness with eo long a repetition of the same thing, however perfect, yet I also confess that Mr. Jefferson portrays the character with no diminution of delicacy or force. If he has made up his mind to remain an actor of one character, aud to let a noble ambition be lost sight of in the desire to make money, it must at least be acknowledged that he rests his claims to consideration upon a role in the delineation of which he puts some of the rarest gifts to use. I freely own, however, that I have no respect for the character of "Rip," and but little sym pathy with it. I doubt whether any right thinking person has such a respect and sympa thy. In their enjoyment of the perfection of the art with which Mr. Jefferson photographs the character, the vast majority of Mr. Jefferson s admirers lose sight of the moral worthlessness of the character itself. The sympathy lavished upon such incorrigible "ne'er-do-weels" is not altogether a healthy sympathy. "Gretchen" might, to be sure, have chosen a finer night in which to have put him out ot doors, but her spirit had been sorely tried by years of decep tion and broken promises on the part of her worthless husband. Let us not give all our sympathy to the vagabond and drunkard. His easiness ot nature was very different from goodness of nature, and does not deserve to be exalted into a virtue. It would have been a great deal better for every one, himself included, had he been less easy with himself. Mr. Jefferson is certainly responsible for not eo modifying the character as to make purer and wiser the moral lesion which it is capable of teaching. But how many actors, I should like to know, make it the habit of their lives to connect a moral purpose with the prac tice of their art? And yet I can see no reason why the stage 6hould continue to be much more atvariance w ith such a moral purpose than lite rature Is. Nathan Murder Goaalp.. The Nathan murder is rapidly taking its stsnd beside the Rogers assassination and other bloody mysteries. . There are, however, a large number of gossippers who continue to cherish a suspicion of Frederick or Washington Nathan, or of both, for no reason other than that of unreasoning prejudice. What, for instance, ought to be thought of an intelligent woman's declaring that she thought it probable Frederick was the "one that did it he toas go dough Jaced !'' Does innate criminality reside in the complexion, and is "doughiness" of feature in dicative of murder in the first degree ? If so, may Heaven have mercy on the entire race of feminine American blondes, for in the whole realm of confectionery you will find no flabbier or paler pastry than that which is suggested by the sickly cheek of the blonde United State belle. Frederick and Washington poor fellows! have had a hard time of it, not only because of the anguish re suiting to them from their father's manner of death, but also 'from the cruel gossip of the world, and the malignant falsehoods of more than one newspaper. They cannot appear in public without becoming the centres of vast -circumferences of scandal. Surely, next to having a member of one's family hanged, ranks the misfortune of having a member murdered. If that misfortune is yours, every spot, however slight, upon your cloth or your character, be comes a blood-spot then. Am Baha.

Ill Rroi I ninrmell en the realties ( f:lf4-"Araaed NenlrvUltv" and the Dalle of ftentrls. We published recently the speech of Mr. Dis raeli in the English Parliament on the condition and prospects of the country in relation to the present war. At a subsequent session the Prime Minister replied to the ex-Premier. The follow ing Is an abstract of Mr. Gladstone's remarks: 1 In the character of mediator, when a complaint of France was made, we so far admitted the Justice of that complaint, although without ever admitting that it would have warranted In our view a resort to arms, that we thought for the sake of the peace of Kurope, and under all the circumstances of the case, that the nomination of the Prince of Hoheneollorn sh' uld be withdrawn. For that purpose the British Govproment interfered, and rny noble friend, aided doubtless by similar eHorts from other quarters, was successful In procuring that withdrawal. And I need not say mat it was a deep disappointment to us, when, after the nomination bad been set before us as the cause of the existence of danger, and that cause so declared had disappeared from view, we found the horizon was not clear. We then endea vored to Improve the position of matters between those two great States by suggesting to France, who had frtven us a title to make such a suggestion, that she could not be justified in demanding from Prus sia an engagement which was to cover all the un seen contingencies of the future with rospect to the throne of fpain and the Prince of Hohenzollern. we represented to 1'russia at inn same time tnat it was but just that as the King had been associated wlih the nomination so he should responsibly and visibly associate himself with the withdrawal, on the side of Prussia that purpose was gained, though, perhaps, its first reeeption by Count Bismarck hud not bi-en favorable. On the side of frame it was put aside by the occurrence of the incident to which the right honorable gentleman has alluded la no unbecoming and inapplicable terms the inci dent of that supposed Insult to the representative of France which, as far as we have sinoe been in formed, appears to have vanished in thin air. (Hear, hear.) We then, as a last attempt, nisde our appeal to that protocol of Paris, which we had always thought remained as a noble monument of some reul advance in civilization, as an acknow ledgment of a public authority in Christendom, which was to be entitled to exercise a control over the passions, the caprices nay, over the strongost convictions even that mifrht be entertained by parti cular States. That appeal was declined by France as unsuitable to the case. It was received by Prus sia with the declaration that France had taken the initiative in the war, and that under such circum stances it was impossible for Prussia to take the initia tive in recommending mediation. No we arrived at the outbreak ot war, and the right honorable gentle man now asks us what is our position in respect to that war. Our position is, au he has truly said, that of a neutral. I shall presently allude to the phrase that ne used wnen ne saut mat we ougnt to observe an armed neutrality. (Hear, hear.) As far as I know the historic meaning or that phrase, it Is eminently unsuitable to the present circumstances. An armed neutrality, If I remember the instances to which the phrase has been authoritatively applied, imports a disposition of mind very far, indeed, from that which we hope we may still claim without reserve an unequivocal friendliness to both parties In this unhappy contest. (Hear, near.) i cannot aumit that an armed neutrality is a proper phrase, and I regret that it has fallen from the rips of the right honorable gentleman. I am sure that what the right honorable gentleman means is that we should discharge the duty or neutrals, which lias no variety of purpose whatever, and that we should establish such a state of things that we shall be competent to fultil whatever duties may attach to us. lAKtklng at the matter in that point of view, we have considered the duties of neutrals, and we have done our best thus far to fulfil them. Those, indeed, arc not easy duties. They are duties which the most sanguine of statesmen or the most sanguine of governments can hardly hope to fultil in such a manner as not to give otlense on one side or the other, and probably on both. We had that misfortune in the case of the great conflict which devastated the continent of North America. It may be that we shall have to encounter it again. but whatever care, diligence, patience and temper can do for the purpose of averting even the slightest misunderstanding by means of an anxious discharge, according to me best or our light ana Knowledge, of every duty incumbent upon us, I am quite sure tne country may anticipate witn commence irom niv noble friend who holds the seals of the Foreign Ollice. The right honorable gentleman has referred to the ublicatlon this day week of a document termed 'Project of a Treaty Between France and Prussia." That was a document of a grave and serious charac ter, and we cannot conceal irom ourselves tnat it gave a considerable shock to public confidence. It may be said that we eught to feel indebted to those who brought it to light. (Hear, hear.) We have endeavored to take into view tne wDOie or tne cir cumstances before us, up to the time of which I now speak, and we have also endeavored to adopt such measures In relation to them as we think, on the whole, best calculated to establish the perfect con fidence and security wnicn are so necessary to the well-being of Europe outside the sphere of this deplorable conflict. And now, sir, I come to the churge which has been made by the right honorable gentleman. The right honorable gentle man puts many a question In respect to the state or our establishments, and he likewise arraigns the policy or the Government, He thinks he has now reached an occasion on which he has the right, aud considers it his duty, to charge us with having pur sued a policy or reduction that has weakened the defensive means of the country (opposition cheers) and that we are now compelled to retrace our steps. (Kenewed cheering.) I meet the right honor able gentleman wuu as empuuiic a contrauiction (Ministerial cheers) as the forms of Parliament will permit to the assertion on which he founds the charge. We refer with satisfaction to the reductions that have Deen niaae; we are giaa mat we nave been able to lessen the burdens of the people (hear, near, from below the gangway) and we are specially glad to have been ablu to afford that relief, because we contend, and we think we can prove, that in the midst ot all that relief and all that reduction there has been no diminution whatever : but, on the contrary, there has been a husbanding and an Increase of our real domestic available force. By comparison with our predecessors I think we Stand the test: but I admit that there in a hialier standard than such a comparison. The deepest re sponsibility is imposed on those who, at a period like this, are charged with the conduct of affairs. Her Majesty's government have maturely weighed what the eountrv reaulres. and we now submit to Parlia ment the result of onr deliberations in the belief that what we ask is calculated to tit us for the discharge of our duty, to enable us to maintain such a digni fied and friendly position as will carry with it no suspicion, and wUl not. under the idea of securing safety, Introduce new elements of danger and dis turbance ; to give us tne oest nope we can possess of accomplishing that which is the object nearest our hearts namely, to maintain intact the character and fame of England while this unhappy war shall continue, and possibly at some blessed, moment to be, either alone or along witn others, tne chosen bearers or a message or peace, (tueers.) THE SUKDAT LAW. How It Works with Louisville Beer-Drinkers. The Louisville Journal of Monday says: Several days ago the Chief of Police announced bis intention of enforcing what is known as the Sunday law in this city, commencing with yes terday. Early in the morning yesterdav the saloons of the city were opened as usual, and about ten o'clock the police vlBited them and requested the proprietors to close. This they did promptly, and at 11 o'clock Third street was crowded with thirsty beer-drinkers, who appeared to be spoiling for only one class of latrer. Thev amused themselves by knocking on the doors of the various establishments where the beverage is usually sold, but there was no admittance. About noon, however, it was quietly whispered around that a back door "up yonder" was opened, and in a short time one of the most popular establishments on that street was crowded with people; but how they got in no outsider could tell. After a while the front door was opened slightly to allow esrress, and the rush was so great that it became necessary to open two doors, until finally they were all opened and business began as usual. Other saloon keepers noticing that their neighbor had opened his house also opened theirs, and at two o clock In the afternoon the beer business was even more flourishing than usual. The saloons where "John Barleycorn" is considered the best drink remained closed for the better part of the day, and some of them were closed during the entire day, but these were few and far between. Taverns where bars were attached were allowed to keep open, but an order was given not to sell whisky or other drinks; but this, in some cases, was totally ignored, and one well versed in the appearance ot L,ouisvuie on unaay couia per ccive no chance in this respect during the after noon. The Chief of Police aunounced his deter mination of enforcing the ordinance. irt fi A A. PARTNER WANTED IN AN Jp .." '''old itahitslied business tr-at will uet mat tuuouut per year. Address, T. J.
