W'i? publish on. the fifth page an exhaustive article on cumulative voting, which is worthy of the careful attention of the delegates to the convention about to be held ip Heading, as well as of all citizens who are anxious to preveut minorities from being completely overslaughed in future. . It is a fundamental principle of American politics that majorities should rale, but the maintenance of this principle is not inconsistent with a careful observance of the rights of minorities. An r-DrroniA.t. in a late number of liar per'' Weekly warns the Republicans that a party cannot live on the memory of good deeds. We expressed a similar opinion in our review of the address of the Republican Congres sional Committee, and politicians who wish to pave the way for future triumphs cannot safely ignore these injunctions. The people perpetually ask of candidates and parties what they intend to do, and if the response to this question is confused or unsatisfactory, no amount of patriotic service in the past will compensate for the absence of guaran tees for the future. Much was done . at tbe last session of Congress to diminish the . burdens of taxation a ad to reconcile the conflicts of opinion within the Republican ranks on questions appertaining to the tariff, internal revenue, the banking system, and the publio debt, but it would have been better if the whole party could have cordially united on a platform broad enough to embrace a solution of all these subjects, and a declaration of une quivocal opposition to every form of corrup tion. The Republican party has . nobly per formed its great mission. It has established the Union on an immutable basis, crashed rebellion, given liberty to a down-trodden race, restored the blessings of peace, and maintained the public credit. But it must be prompt to take a bold stand on the new issues that are arising, and anxious to destroy all the remaining evils that taint our political fjsteui, if it would perpetuate itself. The last thick of the tottering Napoleonic dynasty is its meanest. A Parisian journal justly denounces the attempt to save Bona partes, who think only of themselves while France is forgotyn, by persuading neutral foreign governments to demand from Prussia that their rule shall be perpetuated. The Emperor, in making this appeal, proves that La has lost all sense of honor and of self respect, as well as battles, armies, prestige, authority, and territory. If he were anxious to be forever desised, and to eradicate from the French heart every lingering feeling of regard for the family he has disgraced, he could not well adopt a more certain method than that which he has chosen. The perfidy of the coup d'etat; the cruelty of the destruc tion of crowds of an unoffending Parisian populace, and the folly of inaugurating a war for which he was totally unprepared, find a fitting sequel in the Emperor's abasement be fore kings who have always despised him. - Thk Prussians seem to have made np their minds to gobble np MacMahon's army before they reach Paris. While M. Thiers, whose sagacity seems to be never at fault, was de claring that such a victory must precede the capture of . the capital, the German forces were being massed to achieve it. The im pending battle promises to be the most deci v sive conflict of the war, and if the Germans win it they will tell the ladies of Paris what the French invaders told the ladies of Berlin -after the battle of Jena, that they had been detained on the road by a slight obstacle. It a noticeable fact that in the fasbion b!e world the ladies commenced frizzing their fcair about the time that the agitation in favor of enfranchising the colored race began. Now, since our fellow-citizens of African de scent have got everything that acts of Con gress and constitutional amendments can well give them, the tide of fashion is setting strongly in favor of pig-tails. Is it possible that this is an omen of a protracted agitation of the Chinese question, and of the final tri umph of the friends of the almond-eyed Celestials? j THE FOURTH. POLICE DISTRICT CASE. Ylstebday the Mayor heard the evidence on all sides relating to the recent alleged bru tality towards a prisoner and other disrepu table conduct on the part of the Sergeant and other officers of ' the Fourth Police district, and it was proved conclusively that Officer Prenderville struok a drunken man whom he was endeavoring to arrest three times on the head with a billy because he refused to go quietly to the station house, and also that Sergeant Coates told George D. Stroud, Esq., who attempted to act as counsel for the pri Boner, that if he would step out into the back yard for three minutes he would put a head on him and give him ten dollars. The Sergeant for his part asserted that Mr. Stroud made nee of similar violent langurge, and that he'wua threatened by various par sons in the crowd. - From the evidence of he various other witnesses it appears that Stroud ' presumed very much upon the that he was a lawyer and the son of Jndg Stroud, and that if the Sergeant was violent, k0 waa not altogether" lamb-like iu his deme,ft. This, however, (k 'no exouse whatever fothe manner in which the ofticer Okayed, and, fcooliceaaa. wh wUl Umui?r drunken man over the head with a billy, aal a Sergeant who will challenge any one to step out into the back yard and fight, are no proper guardians of the public peace. Admitting all the provocations they pro fesa to have received, " the ' behavior of Sergeant Coates and Officer Prenderville was brutal in the extreme, and the Mayor will not do liis duty if he does not make an example of them. The police officers are entitled to the cordial support of their supe riors and of the publio in the proper perform ance of their duties, but because those duties are often trying to the temper Is no extenua tion of violence of language or action on their part, but rather it shows the importance of ; placing npon the police force cool-headed bat resolute men, who will perform the f auctions of their office with resolute determination, and at the same time with a proper regard for the rights of even the meanest offeudcr. MIH1CAL AHI I) ISA VIATIC. Th Opening fth Arch Htreet Opera tlou. The new minstrel hall on Arch street above Tenth, under the management of Simmon & Slocum, was opened last evening. A largo audi ence was in attendance, and the new enterprise was launched with a proper amount of eclat. A few weeks ago we gave a general description of the building, and it is therefore only ncce&sary to refer to its appearance in its completed con dition. The front, upon Arch street, is painted in imitation of white marble, and is tastefully deco rated with appropriate ornaments, Including an illuminator of colored glas over the entrance, with the words "Simmons & . Slocuni's Miu- Btrels'' upon it. ...... A handsomely frescoed passage, upon cither side of which are stores, leads to the ticket office and the doors of the auditorium. This passage is hung with large photographs of the principal members of the troupe. With' regard to the auditorium, no more can be said than that it is the finest minstrel hall - we have ever seen, and one of the prettiest and most elegant little theatres in the country. The frescoing, which was done by Mr. John Gibson, Is rich without being overloaded with ornamentation, and the general effect of the interior la in the highest degree pleasing. The predominating colors arc pink and light blue, the wall being covered with panels in arabesque, and the pros cenium enclosed in a tastefully designed frame. The celling is remarkably beautiful, the allegorical figures upon it being evidently from the brush of an accompllfchcd artist. A crimson curtain with an arabesque border la a lighter tint of the same color adds much to the pleasing effect 6f the house. One of the most characteristic features of the new opera house is the manner of lighting. There are a few brackets of chaste design upon the walls, but most of the light la obtained from an arrange ment in the centre of the dome, which is cer tainly a great improvement over the old fashioned chandelier; or any other contrivance for the same purpose with which we are ac quainted. There are two comparatively small circles of gas jets, but by means of a powerful conca.e reflector, a soft, mellow light is distributed all over the house in a most agree able manner.' All the gas fixtures, including the reilector, were furnished by Baker, Arnold & Co., Iso. 710 Chesnut street. The parquet is provided with folding seats, which greatly faci litate the Ingress and egress of the audience. Tbe seats of the parquet circle and dress circle- are of the usual patterns, and are handsomely upholstered In crimson plueh. All the seats are eo arranged that an excellent view of the stage cau be obtained from every part of the house. The performance last evening passed off with a proper amount of applanse, and Messrs. Sim mons and Slocum were both called upon to make a few remarks ' appropriate to the occa sion. Tbe troupe which these gentlemen have gathered about them appears to be equal to the average of such combinations, and with reason ably skilful management there Is no reason wby the new opera house should not obtain Its full share of public patronage. . ' The Cllv Amniemtnli. At the Walnut itourclcault's drama of The Flying Scud will be performed this evening. At tiik Eleventh theet Opeha Hoi'se an attractive programme of minstrelsy will be offered this evening. At the Arch Istreet Opeha Hoise a va riety of interesting burnt-cork novelties are an nounced for this evening. At LUprez & Benedict 8 Opera House the "Sappho" Combination will perform the ope retta of Saetta this evening. At the American a variety entertain ment will be given this evening. the jfRANCo-f Russian war is now on exhi bition at the Assembly Buildings, in the shape of a series of photographic views, which are shown by means of the stereopticon. This exhibition includes views in ana about the principal cities of Germany and-France, the notable buildings and works ol art. portraits ot Napoleon, King William, Bismarck, and the leading generals of both armies, and a map of the scene oi connict. tsriei comments on tuo scenes and events are given by a lecturer who is thoroughly conversant with German and rrencu history, mis ought to prove a verv attractive entertainment at this time, when ad classes are excited on the subject of the war. 6PEOIAL.

It Laa been clearly demonstrated that all Liquors distilled by the ordinary methods contain a very large percentage of imparities; the degree of heat that most necessarily be em ployed, decomposing, disengaging and vaporizing all the baneful elements and noxious gases contained in the mash, which when condensed form the deleterious fusel oil so detri mental to life and health; bht, when indulged in to excess, the result is Brain Fever, De lirium Tremens, Apoplexy, Insanity, etc. Consequently Liquors, as ordinarily distilled, are apt, even when only used sparingly as a stimulant, to create Nausea, Hick Headache, In flammation, and Kidney Diseases. ' The "P. P." Whiskies, on the contrary, "stimulate and eheer" without unduly exciting the brain or injuring the coats of the stomach. They are distilled from the choioeat product of the Cereals in vacuo t the pressure of the atmosphere being reduoed from 15 lbs. to 2 lbs. to the square inch consequently a temperature of only about 90 degrees of heat is re quired in the operation, The process is entirely mechanical, no ACIDS, CHARCOAL, ESSENCES, EXTRACTS, DRUGS OR CHEMICALS OF ANY DESCRIPTION BEING USED hence the "P. P." Whiskies are not only delicate ia flavor, but pure, wholesome, and innocuous as a beverage, retaining in Bimple purity the flavor of the cereals from which, tbey were distilled. ' The "P. P." Whiskies have been tested by some of ' the most eminent of the Medioal Facnltv, by Analytical Chemists, and by the best judges of Liquors in the United States, and pronounced perfectly pure and whole'tome, and especially desirable for Family use and Medical purposes. . . . '..
