SUMNER ON rEACi:.
Prcm the Mitumtri Republican.
Cbarlea Sumner prides himself upon being
an orator notappeech-makor, but an orator,
and be is n living exemplification of the
rery wide difference there in between the two.
rut the honorable Charles upon the stump,
and he would drive three-fourths of the au
dience away in a stato of mental obfnqcation
within a half hour; for it is his pleasure to
deal in that Rort of sublimated logic and
metaphjsical bombast which is "caviare to
the general." Honest, practical people, who
want honest, practical ideas clothed in plain
and sensible language, find themselves unable
to follow tho tortuous windings of his elabo
rated eloquence, and upeedily abandon the
attempt in despair. To do tho gentleman
justice, he has a hearty contempt for what
are sometimes called the "intelligent
inasHes," find seldom or never wastes his rhe
torical ammunition by firing into Wie flock.
He prefers the more select few, who appre
ciate the art of lining a va it multitude of
words to express an insignificant number of
thoughts, and who like to have those words
nicely polihhcd and cleverly dove
tailed together until they form a pretty
piece of mosaic, charming to look upon,
but of no special value to anybody or any
thing. As a manufacturer of this stylo of
article, Sumner has no equal in the land, but
the work requires ample time, and the conse
quence is that be seldom lays more than one
or two oratorical eggs in a season; but these
are always accompanied by such a prodigious
cackling that the public are obliged to direct
their attention to the product of the Massa
chusetts hen. Heretofore the nest has been
built in the Senate, and the process of incu
bation and delivery consummated there, but
since tbe'war has eliminated "the relio of
barbarism" from our governtr ntal system,
fciumner finds scanty material 'or those pon
derous appeals which occupied rive or six
hours in the reading, and were then consigned
to the vaults of' tho Congressional Globe to
wait for au indefinitely postponed resurrec
tion. 1'ut he must speak his piece; he
cannot let the world "burst in igno
rance," and is naturally unwilling to
burst himself by withholding informa
tion which he is morally certain
no one dee can furnish; so ho f alls back upon
the last resort of overburdened minds and
delivers a lecture. Two birds are killed by
this lecture stone, for Sumner is a shrewd
fellow in money matters, and never looks
askance at hard cash. Lyceums and other
associations that feel honored by being tickled
with a senatorial ntraw pay him handsomely
for his effort, and he has an opportunity to
ride his particular hobby as fast and as far as
he chooses. That hobby is eminently charac
teristic of the man. It is not war, for S uni
ces dislikes blood in any shape; it is not love,
for Sumner's first and only appearance in the
court of Venus has not been as satisfactory
as could be wished; but it is peace. His
peaceful toils began some thirty years
ago, and the earliest of them may be
found in the school books which prevailed
in New England about that time. They have
been continued at short intervals ever sinoe,
and the last instalment has just been served
up in a lecture, the title of which is "The
Duel between France and Germany, and its
Lessons of Civilization."
Now there is a slight impropriety, aooord
ing to our view of the case, in a chairman of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
telling the European nations what they
ought and ought not to do, except when the
duties of his official position require him to
speak on the subject; but wo pass this by for
a brief examination of the advice tendered,
and the charming consistency which it dis
plays.
Senator Sumner informs Count Bismarck
that war is an awful thing, and never exists
in well-regulated communities; that Prussia
and France never should have gone to fight
ing at all, and must stop it at once; that
Prussia ought to be content with the honors
of victory, and not require France to give up
Alsace and Lorraine, or pay the expenses of
the military ball at which the couple have been
dancing these three months past; that Prussia
should insist upon a complete disarmament
on the part of France, and when this is done,
disarm herself. This, our lecturer contends,
is the proper solution of the whole question;
will save a great deal of money to France and
Prussia, assist the cause of civilization and
Christianity, inaugurate the millennium, etc.
Bismarck has not yet replied to Sumner's
suggestions, but may do so during the pre
sent armistice; meanwhile we venture a single
remark to the apostle of peace. A few years
since there was unpleasantness existing in
this country, and two sections that ought to
have been linked together in bonds of per
petual love stabbed at each other's hearts.
While that war was being kindled, we never
remember to have heard from Sanator Sum
tier any earnest pleadings for a compromise
of exiHting difficulties, but on the contrary
he did as much as any other one man to
precipitate hostilities. While the war was
in progress we are not aware that he did any
thing to soften its animosities, or lessen the
terrible calamities which followed in its
train; but on the contrary he advocated its
prosecution to the bitter end, and "cried
havoo" as vociferously as the fiercest of his
party. Since the war was over he has voted
steadily for the maintenance of a standing
army which costs the people over '.h,0iK),()ihj
annually or $1G,000,000 more than England
pays for her military establishment and does
nothing but control elections and override
law at the South, and kill perhaps fifty In
dians a year. In short, the Hon. Charles
Sumner's peace record is a very rotten affair,
and if Count Bismarck knows uuything about
it, he will, should he read the lecture afore
said, unquestionably set down our chairmtn
of the Senate Committee ou Foreign Isola
tions as either an arrant hypocrite or an egre
gious ass.
CHILD-MURDER VS. FOUNDLING
ASYLUMS.
From (A JT. F. World.
The revelation freshly made of the extent
and the atrocity of child-murder in New York
will lose the effect it ought to have if it fails
to compel our attention to the neoessity of
the establishment, upon a larger scale and a
more enduring basis, of those asylums for the
reception of the children of vice or of pover
ty whom now we consign to tho tender mer
cies of medioal murderers. It is incredible
that a woman who becomes a mother before
she becomes a wife has arrived, in many
cases, at that pitch of unnatural wicked
ness that she will deliberately sacrifice the
life of her offspring, particularly when such
a procedure puts her own in so imminent
jeopardy, when an alternative is offered
whereby she oan preserve both them and her
Own reputation. And it is probable that not
many married women who are too poor or
even who are too heartless to rear their own
children are heartless enough to pursue such
a couree or courageous enough to run such a
risk when the burden and the peril may be
alike avoided. No possible facilities that tha
public might provide for the disposition of
illegitimate children wonia no mncn towards
encouraging the immorality in women against
which such neavy social penalties are already
in force. But very limited facilities to that
end would suffice to check the graver crimi
nality of child-murder. The moralists who
denounce any attempt to limit tho spread of
contagious diseases, and who belong to the
same school as those morulisls who used to
denounce and possibly who still denounoe
the erection of lightning-rods as a "flying in
the face of Providence," will doubtless
object to this device for relieving innooenoe
from the penalties of guilt. But objections
from such a quarter we can afford to disre
gard. The Tribune, which expressed a while
ego a ctewre to secure the infliction of an in
evitable penalty of mortal disease upon any
man guilty ot profligacy, and also, by Infer
ence, upon his wife and his children to tho
third and fourth generation, would doubtless
insist, as it is logically bound to insist,
equally xipon dooming to death the children
of unmarried parents. In that position the
class which makes its living by the murder of
unborn or new-born infants is with it. But
we trust to see it made manifest that the
common senso and the humanity of New
York are against it.
An opportunity is now, by a curious coin
cidence, opened to New lork to manifest its
benevolence in tho roost practical way. The
revelation of this grievous social bane is fol
lowed by tidings of its social antidote. With
tho announcement of the exposure and the
probable punishment of tho child-murdorcrs
conies the announcement of tho progress of
the child-6avers. The nucleus of a Found
ling Asylum which already exists, tbanks to
private charity, now appeals to the publio for
the means to expand itself into a publio and
permanent institution. The Sisters of Cnarity
of the Roman (Jatholio Church, whose asy
lum, straitened and obscure as it has necessa
rily been, has already wrought incalculable
benefit, have taken for its uses a larger build
ing than that which has heretofore housed it.
They have obtained a grant from the Legisla
ture oi tfioo,0(o for their noble work upon
condition that an equal sum shall be other
wise contributed. A quarter of this sum has
already been privately subscribed, and a fair
is to be held at the armory of the 22cl Regi
ment in Fourteenth street, daring next week,
of which the proceeds are to go towards
raiting the remainder. It is not to be sup
posed that the deficit will not be nearly, if
not altogether, made up. It is to be hoped
that no sectarian feeling may be allowed to
interfere with the exercise, so freshly proven
to be a needed exercise, of the characteristic
munificence of New York. Other sects may
properly be stimulated by this example to go
and Uo likewise. And a publio institution,
altogether unseetarian, may properly be pro
jected. But the field is amplo for many more
laborers than are now employed, and, what
ever we may afterwards design or do, our
first duty in the premises is clearly to
strengthen the hands of those who are already
woiKing in it.
SKILLED NURSES.
From the X. V. Tribune.
We urged attention some months ago to the
business, or rather profession, of educated
nurses as a path open for women which would
insure thorn work that would demand their
best powers f body and mind, and at the
same time pay them a certain and comforta
ble living income. From the number of letters
which we have received since then on the sub
ject we are confirmed in our opinion of the
imperative need of such callings for a largo
class of women who are not illiterate and yet
not capable ot teaching or any artistic pursuit.
and the fullness with which this work meets
such need. Many women in our own know!
edge have studied during the Bummer to fit
themselves for the occupation, but found an
almost insuperable difficulty in the way of
obtaining instruction or preparatory prac
tice, there being only one institution which
would furnish either in the country that in
I'nuaaejpma, wmcu coma aaunt only a
limited number. The subject has attracted
attention also in England, and provision is
making tor as thorough training of nurses as
that ot physicians. A late writer in I'raser.
dii-cui-siig the demand for educated women
in the bick room, places tho proper maximum
price for a skilled nurse at three guineas per
day, which is certainly higher than they are
at all likely to obtain. "A gentleman who
educates his daughter as a nurse," the writer
says, "bus provided for her future as seourely
as for that of his son to whom he has given
a proiesuon.
However this may be, the fact heie is that
so long as there is sickness there will be a
constant demand for nurses, and tho prices
now paid to even illiterate, lnaomnetent
women who fill the post are higher thin those
commanded by ordinary teaahern. The
women are waiting, and so is the work, an!
nothing is needed but the education to briu2
them together. Will not some of our pioneers
in works of charity take this work in hand
and famish the missing link before winter
Legirs? To place tho means of self-help in
the hands of the needy is assuredly worth
treble the sum expended in alms. Be3i ns,
the expense hero is small. In the institution
inaugurated by Warrington somo twenty
years ago in Philadelphia, the machinerv of
chanty is, with true Quaker shrewdness and
wisdom, rande to react upon itself so as to
uecome seii-supponiDg. Two months is
enough for a capable and alert woman to fit
herself for the business; eduoation under
the best physicians and boarding are
iurnikneu ner at a nominal sum; a
lying-in department provides at the same
time practice to bur and attention to a large
number of charity patients; while the
house, becoming a home for the trained
nurses when out of work, pays a large share
oi its own expenses.
We hope to see a similar institution started
before cold weather begins in New York. It
would accomplish moro good for woman than
a dozen conventions to discuss their condi
tion. In a week it would be crowded with
applicants ready to bo taught how to use
their heads and hands effectively, while at
the same tiuio it would supply a deficiency
long felt anioDg us by furnishing a place
where skilled aid could be certainly found in
iime oi mncss or suauen peril.
A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESI
DENCY.
From the Xt ir Orltono Time.
The late Secretary of the Ioterior, General
Cox, has been nominated for the next Presi
dency in the West. We confess to a profound
respect for this gentleman, and we should be
gratified if his nomination should become a
popnUr and general one. He stands before
the people as a martyr to a principle which
j the people of the United States would ratify
by an enormous majority the prlnoiple of
non-interferenoe by publio officials in the
elections of the people, the selection of publio
officers with reference to their integrity and
capacity, the exclusion of partisan influence
and Uongressionai dictation in the chotoe oi
subordinate agents of the Government, and
the prohibition of the practice of assessing
those agents to raise money to buy voters
and promote the success of the party in
power.
General Cox made a direct isaue with Gene
ral Grant on these propositions. The latter
took the opposite grounds, and recognized all
the claims of partisan demagogues and com
mittees to the full right of diotating to tho
chiefs of the department whom they should
appoint, and requiring them to assess their
subordinates for partisan purposes, to apply
the publio moneys and patronage to control
the votes and opinions of tho people, and
assist the universal and corrupt schemes of
party. General Cox emphatically stated to
the President his views and intents on these
subjects; if they did not have tho approval of
the President he tendered his resignation.
lhe resignation was accepted, and Presi
dent Grant thus confessed himself as fully
pledged to continue, support, and enlarge tho
infamous system of "running this govern
ment exclusively in the interest of a party."
This is quite consistent with the antecedent,
indications of General Grant's idea of the
sole object of the establishment of this re
public. He never looked Upon it in any
other light than as a huge gift lottery, in
which no one was entitled to hold shares bat
himself and bis friends ! The oflicos are
mere pensions for men of approved partisan
service. uapnoity, honesty, personal merit
of any sort, the energetio and faithful a lmin
istri.tion of the publio trusts, go for nothing.
It is to make money for ourselves and our
party associates that we are placed in power.
llitse are the ideas of the political adminis
tration, for resisting which the most high
toned, patiiotic, and intelligent member of
the Cabinet ha been evicted from office.
It is a highly judicious and wise nomina
tion, of this gentleman for the succession to
the Presidency. A square contest between
him and his principles, and General Grant
and his, would make an issue which would
determine whether honesty, patriotism, na
tional pride ?and republican sentiment pre
vail over Eelfishness, venality, personal ran
cor, and avarice.
LO AND HIS GREAT FATHER.
From the LouisriVe Courier-Journal.
Even Lo, the poor Indian, is after the
"head of the Long Branch Government, the
cool and imperturbable Grant." A big In
dian pow-wow was held at Fort Laramie on
the 'Jlst of September, to exhibit to the In
dians a Mr. Brunot, who was sent by the Pre
sident, Lo's Great Father, to try and still
further fool the aborigines. Imitating the
example of De Koto, when he first met the
red man at Chickasaw Bluff's, on the Missis
sippi, Brunot opened the proceedings with
prayer. Ho then told them what their potent
parent urant had instructed him to say. It
was a touching tale; so touching that
Messrs. Bed Cloud, Man-Afraid-of-tlis-
llorses, Ilesha, Bed Dog, Little Pine, Little
Wolf, and a host of other natives of the
Western wilds, there and thereabouts,
were touched to tho quick, and did not like
it a "dernnition bit;" not that they had any
objection to Brunot's speech, but they de
spised the duplicity of their Great and Good
l ather, bot to be outdone in Puritanism by
Brunot, lied Cloud prefaced his speocu with
prayer, too; after which he proceeded to talk
of his gigantic papa at Washington in a man
ner greatly in contempt of parental au
thority. He said "he (Grant) has lied to me.
He has his houses filled with gold
stolen from my land. My Great Father has
told me a story. He has thrown shame on
himself. I am ashamed of the Great Father,"
and piled upon the G. F. other and numerous
epithets. Brunot tried to pacify him with
some blankets, blue and red cloth, muslin,
calico shirts, bats, butcher-knives, tobacco,
and kettles, but Bed Cloud pulled down
with bis little finger the lid of his loft eye,
ond said, "you can't fool me; I want none
of your knickknacks; I want guns and
ammunition." About this time a large
crowd of excited Indians commenced look
ing cross-eyed, and the council broke up
for the time-being. It is bad enough for
the President of the United States to have
earned the contempt of the radical members
of the Senate, but when the proud man of
the forest, lied Cloud, who carried to Wash
ington the scalps of the white men and
women he had slain, as trophies, and was en
tertained at a state dinner at the White
House, detects that his late host is a counter
feit, atd exposes him, it is enough to make
Generals Dent and Badeau, and the rest of
the kitchen Cabinet, weep.
GARIBALDI A FAILURE.
F om the H. T. Herald.
Garibaldi does not profit by experience.
Recent events have shown that popular judg
ment in favor of his political aud military
ability was premature. His reputation has
been ephemeral. Unfortunately for himself
and Lis friends he is again at once in a criti
cal aid a ridiculous position. He wai lately
leported to be in the vicinity of Besanon, in
command of a force of twenty-five thousand
French troops, made up of o Us and ends,
including many consolidated bands of Franc-
tireurp. 1 he Rational Guards and the Gardes
Mobiles refuse to light under him, and he
will find it difficult to harmonize and control
the various elements of his command so as to
make them really effective. The Ion
of Dijon is partly attributed to
the iritilieiency of his force. II U
position near Besancon was represented
as almost surrounded by tho Prussians,
and fifty thousand moro victorious German
soldiers were marching in that direction.
Only nn armisfico could save his command
from spcci'y ctplure or lo5truction. Indeed,
there is a report that ho and thirty Italian
officers have been already taken prisoners.
Garibaldi's mi'itaiy capacity especially has
been greatly overrated. His last campaign
in Italy, when he attempted to take Rome
with his "liberating army," was a miserable
fuisro, and demonstrated merely that be has
no ability as a general. After hU last
failure in tho field iu Italy he ought
never again to have left the islmd
of Caprera. As a republican ha sud
derly appeared at the theatre of war to
fight for France; but he was beginning to be
looked upon as tn interloper and aiveutnrer.
He usued an order of the day, iu which ho
reproaches republic for tluir failure to ant
for mutual defense, and in which he takes
President Grant and the United SUte to
task for not actively interfering iu the affair
of Spain and of France. Garibaldi denounc
ing Grant! That is tao ridiculous. G aribaldi
has seme good qualities, but by hU injudi
cious conduct he is injuring the republican
cance in Europe and disgracing republican
infctitutior.. It would bo well if some Liud
friend of his would escort hiui baak to (Jap.
rtra and induce him to remain there during
the remainder of his life.
