r TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1870.
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. .

Ihe Perfection of the Art of Refining Whiskies.

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. . . . '.. '
Members of the medical faculty, the trade, and the publio generally are cordially invited
to call and inspect the machinery and process, and examine the liquors and the impurities
extracted, at the Refinery and Warerooms, Nos. 24G South FRONT and 117 DOCK Street.
This is the only process in operation in tbe State of Pennsylvania for refining whiskies ia
