A LEVEE OF CIIAULE3 V.
From the A. 1'. Tribune.
The court circles in Madrid Lave recently
been indulging in a ghostly sort of pio-nic.
The Minister of State invited the diplomatics
body to accompany him to the Eioorial. 1 he
court journals give a decorous acoount of the
expedition, showing how "they arrived at the
royal seat in a vernal temperature, and at once
directed themselves to the palace which they
visited with minuteness. They then passed
to the grandiose monastery of St. Lawrence,
which they went through, expressing their
admiration of the rigid architecture of the
immortal Ilerrera, the tapestries and other
works of art contained in this eighth wonder
of the world." Here the official account dis
creetly goes off into generalities, vailing the
great event of the day. We have seen a let
ter from one of the participants of these
Castilian high jinks, which enables us to sup
ply the hiatus of the chronicler.
The party was introduced to the corpse of
Charles V himself, whose sarcophagus, in the
great crypt under the chapel, had been opened
for the occasion. There was a scaffold in
front of the niche appropriated to the great
Austrian, with ascending stairs, and the heavy
coffin-lid was slid back on beams disclosing
the mortal shell of Charles Quint. The
slothes had mouldered away, and some
priestly tinsel was thrown over the mummy
to hide its dry brown nudity. The chest was
bare, massive, and drum-tight, giving a hol
low sound when tapped, and still measured
thirty-six inches, after the waste of centuries.
The head was thrown back a little, and the
forehead bound with a gold cloth. There
were no eyes only a pair of plastered-up
pits. There was no nose only a high bony
ridge, looking down into a brainless hollow.
The mouth was merely a distorted three-cornered
hole, and the incisors had fallen down
the yawning throat. But the chin was there
as in life, thin and aggressive, with an un
wholesome brown stubble on it yet, that
looked wonderfully like the Titian in the
Mnseo. The gay pleasure-party went np the
ladder in groups, and came down rather silent
and thoughtful. The scintillant remark that
Emperors are but men, after all, wai made in
all the modern languages for diplomats are
never wasteful of wit.
They then moved off in a pensivo proces
sion to the toy-honse of Charles IV, "whose
preciousnesees," says the court journal, again
beooming communicative, "they observed
with attention, regaling themselves with an
exquisite punch.'" They took the evening
train for Madrid, loud in their praises of the
delicate courtesy of Mr. Sagasta. This keen
and witty intriguant doubtless remembered
the story of the Cid, who won his last battle
the day after his death, strapped upright in
his saddle, and must have thought how much
more of majesty there would be in the im
perial mummy of the Escorial, throned in
the palace of the Orient, than in any live
princeling now open to a royal engagement
TIIE INDIAN NATION.
From the X. y. Sun.
South of Kansas, lapping the southwestern
corner ot Missouri, lies the Indian Territory,
or Indian nation, as it is called by the Mis
sourians; a region which embraces within its
boundaries 70,45G square miles, one-half
more than the State of New York, and which
has been set apart by treaty stipulations for
the occupancy of various Indian tribes. This
territory includes some of the richest and
most fertile lands of the United States, and
is abundantly irrigated by numerous rivers
and streams. The climate is delightful the
greater portion of the year, and the grass re
mains green all winter. The soil is well
adapted to corn, wheat, oats, cotton, tobacco,
and garden vegetables of all kinds. As a
fruit country it is unsurpassed.
The population of the Indian Territory is
estimated at 53,000, thus giving each man,
woman, and child about 1000 acres or land.
The Indians who people it are the Cherokees,
Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Seminoles,
-and other tribes and nations, who have been
driven from their f or mer homes by extermi
nating wars, and induced to settle there by
our Qovernment under the promise that their
rights should be faithfully protected. Each
nation or tribe has its own reservation and
regulates its own affairs. Many of the
tribes have made great progress in civiliza
tion. The Cherokees number about 16,000,
and own in fee simple 4,000,000 acres of land,
while the United States (government holds in
trust for them $4,000,000, upon whioh annual
interest is paid. Before the Rebellian, in
proportion to their numbers, they were the
wealthiest nation on the globe. They pos
sessed immense herds, one individual
alone owning twenty thousand head of
cattle, while the man who owned less than
three hundred was considered a poor Indian;
but it is estimated that 30tt,000 head of stock
were stolen from the Territory during the
war. Schools have been established through
out the Territory, and general interest is
manifested by the Indians in the instruction
of their children.
A grand council of all the tribes has re
cently been held at Oomulgee, at which
measures were taken for the establishment
of a general Territorial Indian Government,
subject to the several treaties of the United
Btatea with the different tribes, and the com
mittee entrusted witn tne matter made a
unanimous report in favor of such a gov
eminent. Commissioners Campbell, Far
well, and Lang, who were present at this
council, say that the discussions were con
ducted with dignity and ability; after which
the report was adopted by a vote of forty
eight to five, and a committee of twelve was
appointed to draft a constitution. Bat the
most interesting and important feature of
the proceedings was the disposition shown by
the Indians to invite the wild tribes of the
plains to come in and participate in the ad
vantages of those who had preceded them in
civilization. The Commisbioners say that the
project of inducing these wild Indians to
come tinder the care of the civilized tribes,
through the instrumentality of the latter, in
co-operation with the wnite peouie, lojks
already very encouraging; and they believe
that its success will tend greatly to solve the
Indian problem and to put'an end to future
Indian troubles on our extreme borders.
There is a very serious danger, however,
which threatens the success of the schema
from which the coinwisaiouers Anticipate
such cheering results. This is the greed and
injustice of the white men, who seem to think
that the Indians have no rights that tho whites
are bound to respect. From various sources
we learn that in the region bordering on the
Indian Territory, and even far up ia the
Northwestern States, it is the prevalent opi
nion among all claques that the 'lYrri'ory
should be thrown open to hettk-n. au I tUi
Indiana confined to as limited reservrtions as
the homestead laws wonld allow to an equal
number of whites. The facts that the lands
have been ceded to the Indians in perpetuity
by solemn treaty stipulations, and that they
were occupied by them at a time when no
white man would have dared to live there,
are not considered of any consequence by the
railroad monopolists and unscrupulous specu
lators who are coveting their property; and
it may be deemed a certainty that the most
strenuous efforts will be made to wrest this
rich domain from its owners, in utter disre
gard of the pledged faith of our national Qov
ernment. If this injustice Bhould be per
mitted, it would be the crowning infamy of a
long series of outrages perpetrated by a pow
erful nation upon these weak and defenseless
tribes.
REMOVAL OF THE DUKE OF MECKLEN
BURG A GLANCE AT THE MILITARY
SITUATION.
From the Ar. Y. Uerald.
A correspondent at Versailles sends the
information that it is reported at the head
quarters of KiogWilliam that the Grand Duke
of Mecklenburg has been summarily dismissed
from his command. The Duke commanded
the right wing of the army of Prince Fede
rick Charles. The task assigned to that army
was the annihilation of the Army of the Loire,
if possible, but at all events to push it back,
and thus reduce its chances of being able to
give Paris the slightest assistance. In this,
however, the Duke failed. It is plain, then,
that this French army, whioh we were told by
bulletins was badly beaten at Orleans,
Beaune-la-Rolande and other points, cut in
two, forced to retreat in a disorderly condi
tion and almost completely "used up, "was
in reality not so badly beaten after all; and
as for being demoralized, the best answer to
that allegation is to point out that, notwith
standing all those disasters of which we have
heard so much, the Army of the Loire was
able to preserve the stores which had been
accumulated for the relief of the capital. If
more is needed to convince us that this
"routed, demoralized and undisciplined army
of Frenchmen" is not only a formidable
force, but now a threatening fo roe, it is the re
moval of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg
from his command for not being able to stay
its advance.
For some time past the Grand Duke and
General Chanzy have been manoeuvring,
with advantage accruing somewhat in favor
of the French General. There is no impetu
osity, no seeking after grand dramatio effects,
no grand charges, as have in many campaigns
distinguished French movements, but instead
there is a steady, solid, almost slow move
ment forward not at all palatable to the Ger
man commander. France has now too much
at stake, and from the very nature of circum
stances must act with the greatest caution
The life of the nation is set upon a cast which
the French armies must shortly throw. The
French Generals appear to realize this, and
are acting accordingly. It may seem a little
strange at first sight that the Germans do
not pursue the same polioy which rendered
their strategy so successful in the early por
tion of the campaign. It now appears evident
that the successes of the Red Prince and the
Grand Duke and the Bavarians of Von der
Tann did not accomplish as much as their
royal master intended the world Bhould be
lieve they achieved. We see no more of the
hurling of heavy masses of troops against
inferior bodies which snatched victory from
the imperial forces of Napoleon. Suppose
this plan were now attempted. Fancy that
in order to crush Chanzy s force Prince Fred
erick Charles marched to the assistance of
Von der Tann, what might we reasonably an
ticipate as a consequence of sucn a move
ment? Bourbaki unwatched would most cer
tainly advance and possibly appear some
where close to Fontainebleau. The army of
Bouibaki, with the late reinforcements which
it has received from Marseilles, Lyons, and
other points in the southeast of France, can
not fall very far short of one hundred thou
sand men a force, it will admitted, which
requires watching.
ltegarding the army commanded by Gene
ral Chanzy, his force is vastly superior to that
of the Grand Duke oi Mecklenburg, and is
daily increasing in numbers, figuring up to
between one hundred and twenty-five and one
hundred and buy thousand men. It is the
slow but steady approach of this large army
to the investing lines around Paris which
causes anxiety at the Prussian headquarters,
and the inability to drive it back has lost, if
report speaks truly, the Grand Duke nis
command. It is noticeable, too, that the
German soldiers have lost much of that vim
and spirit which formerly distinguished them,
lney nave grown tired and weary ot tne
campaign and are anxious to return to their
homes. In the next great battle near Paris,
which we believe is imminent now that the
Seine is frozen over, tnis lack or spirit may
tell against the investing armies now threat-
ening the capital of 1' ranee.
WHY JOURNALISTS ARE SO MUCH
RESPECTED.
From the X. Y. Times.
It appears that we are all strangely in the
dark about the leading events of the war be
tween Prussia and France. To begin with,
the battle of Wissembourg, early in the war,
was won by the French whereas most of ns
thought that the Prussians were viotors. It
is commonly supposed that MoMahon failed
to effect a junction with the forces under
Bazaine; but this is not the case the two
Generals combined their armies, and are still
fighting with great success. Again, it
is generally believed that Bazaine was
obliged to surrender at Metz; but this is
merely another of our delusions the General
. . . i 1 1 I, i
in question lias won innuiueruuie great uai
ties, and to this hour Metz has not surren
dered. To take still another instance, there
is an impression abroad that Paris is now in
vested by the German armies. We eanaot
account for the prevalence of this idea, but
the truth is that the Germans are now dis
tant at least ten days' march from Paris, and
ine wuoie oi Trochu g army is posted out
side the city. This version of the history of
the war is furnished by the World, of thU
city, which has the reputation of being ex
ceeaingiy wen miormed on all foreign sub
lects. We suppose there is no denvinor its
statements. The Tribune on Tuesday gave a
complete summary of the World' special
history of the war, and people who colleot
remarkable specimens oi journaustio enter
prise had better get that summary, and learn
to admire tne "brilliancy oi me world cor
respondents and editors. The treatment of
war news by the World is one of the things
of which journalists ought to be proud, and
which help to explain how it Lj that journal
ism is so mvich respected by the public
Another artiole. published by the Tribune
on Tuesday, will also be interesting to jour
nalihts who take a sincere pride in their call
ing, and wish to see it universally respected.
To begin with, the fact uiuut be well known
that notoriously bribed journals always bring
charges of corruption against all papers
which try to do their duty honestly. Hence
the W'vilJ, caurht with its h&nli full of
Tweed's money, invented a story about an
unpaid bill for the enormous sum of thir
teen thousand dollars, as accounting for the
opposition of the Timet to the ring; and
hence the satellite of tne Ueraia, and a tew
other unprincipled sheets, have been in
structed by the ring to repeat this story ever
since. The Tribune now expresses its
belief that not less than $50,000 was paid
by Tammany in one way or another to
the Herald and the Telegram during last
year alone. No one supposes that the
proprietor of the Herald is aware of this
turpitude on the part of his servants still
less that he touched a dollar of the money.
But the nature of the support given to the
Tammany Ring by the Herald ought to be
sufficient to oonvince everybody that dirty
work has been going on somewhere. The
Tribune goes on to assert, upon the authority
of a pamphlet just published, that William
M. Tweed secured the services of the Sun
during the late canvass "by the payment of
so much cash down and the promise of
monthly stipends." What answer will be
made to this charge remains to be seen; but
we cannot ignore the fact that a similar accu
sation brought against the Sun, in regard to
a transaction with James Fisk, Jr., was pub
lished in the Tribune a week or so a?o, and
was not denied by the paper implicated.
Instead of refuting the charge of taking a
bribe for suppressing a certain article, as
everybody must have hoped the Mun would
do, it Bimply singled out and abused a gentle
man connected with the Tribune. This was
a clear case of allowing judgment to go
against it by default.
Ine s3-stematic corruption of the press by
the Temmany and Erie cliques will begin
to excite proper attention whenever the
public once iuo'6 shows any disposition to
regard corruption as a thing wrong in itselt,
and fatal to the best interests of society.
Any journalist who now faithfully performs
his duty is made a marked man by all the
bribed hacks in the country, and any paper
which refuses to take bribes ia sure to be
denounced as "corrupt" by the rascals who
accept money from any hand which offers it,
For example, the aocusations made by the
J c-ma against Tweed and his gang have
never been disproved, but the hirelings
employed by Tweed have simply been in
stiucted to trump np some insane charge
concerning the motives of these attacks,
There are possibly some who reolly believe
that the World calls Tweed a swindler one
day and an angel the next from sheer con
viction, and that the Jimes would not abuse
Tweed if somebody paid it thirteen thousand
dollar?. People who put any faith in the
World' 8 foreign despatches must be fools
enough for anything. Thus, the task of
serving the publio with fidelity is obstructed
by the efforts of the very journals which
have taken money to betray the publio. If
tne exposures made by the Inbune on Tues
day could accomplish a wholesome change in
publio sentiment in regard to all journals
bribed by the lammany gang; and if those
exposures further tendt d to purify the atmo
sphere of journalism general!?, our oontem
porary would have accomplished a signal ser
vice. JJut we tear mat the time is not vet
ripe for reform, and that a great portion of
the publio think none the worse of a jour
nal because it is proved to have taken
bribes.
MEDICINE AND MERCHANDISE.
From the N. Y. World.
It appears that the question of medical
education for women, after exciting the
faculty of Edinburgh almost as much as it
did the faculty of Philadelphia, has been
finally settled by a decision of the corporation
of tne former university, that although women
may imbibe instruction they cannot take
prizes, it is, according to the faculty, an
admissible thing that women shoald con
tribute to the support of their institution, but
a grievous and intolerable thing that they
should pront bv its endowments, and upon
tms logical ground a scnolarsnip lias besn re
fused to a woman who is admitted to have
won it fairly. This decision is doubtless
satisfactory to the male students, who would
otherwise be in danger of seeing members
of an inferior sex taking prizes away
from them, and particularly to
the male student npon whom it
devolves by default the prize which a woman
had won. But it is scarcely in accordance
with anybody s notion of justice, and the ad
voeates of it seem to have felt the need of
an authority which should outweigh reason,
when they invoked npon the discussion the
declaration of her Majesty Queen Victoria
"that she greatly disapproved of women
studying medicine." By way of enforcing
this august opinion the faculty decided by
one vote not to prohibit women from the
study of medicine in the university, which
would involve the less of the fees derived
from women, but only to prohibit women
from receiving the prizes whioh proficiency
in that study might entitle them to. Which
is a frugal and "canny," whether or no it be
a very high-minded, procedure on the part of
tne faculty of Jdinburgo.
The same mail which brought us this news
brought us also an acoount, published in
Sunday's World, of the adventures of an
American woman in China. This heroic
female person has penetrated the secular
secrets of Cathay, and at the date of her
letter was comfortably sojourning in the town
of Chefoo, engaged in what has hitherto been
considered the exclusively masculine f unotion
of buying tea, rather than the chiefly fenii
nine function of imbibing it. Whether the
aspect of this American lady, who has tra
vexsed the flowery Kingdom not only with
out molestation, but, according to her own
aocount, with great profit and satisfaction, is
as alluring to the Chinese as that of the ven
turesome virgin who traditionally traversed
the Emerald Isle was to the Hibernian eye,
we have no means of Knowing, any more
than we have whether "rich and rare were
the gems she wore," or whether she preferred
to carry her valuables In the shape of tne nn
obtrusive bill of exchange. In either case
she is there buying tea, and fearing not the
face of man, and it is to be hoped she may
prosper. And we are not aware that before
setting out she wished the advice of any
male person or set of male persons as to the
propriety of the course she was about to
pursue.
The moral to be drawn from a comparison
of these two cases is that the sphere of
women is to be ascertained not by argument
but by trial. The Soottish women ask the
acquit nee cf the faoulty in their studying
medicine. The American woman does not
ask the acauiescence of anybody in her buy
ing tea. When the pupil of Squeers had at
tained a theoretical knowledge of plants out
of books, that prudent pedagogue sent him
into the garden to cultivate the same, or, as
Suueers himself condescended to explain, "he
goes and knows 'em." When Mis King ha
settled in her own mind the probable profit
bl noss of buying tea, she goes and buys it.
When, on tLe other hand, young women
yearn to know medicine, they rite article j
in newspapers and deliver lecture.- upon plat
forms, and berate hidebound institutions of
instruction in that science, in defense of
their right to know it. They had much bet
ter go end know it. "Nothing sncceedi like
success." Nobody will deny the right to trade
in tea to a woman who has made a fortune by
it. And nobody will deny the right to be phy
sicians to those women who may succeed in
proving themselves competent ones. A few
successful female tea merchants and a few
successful female physicians will do more to
wards dissipating whatever disbelief there
may be of tho competency of women to those
arts than the most extreme and irrefragable
demonstrations a pi tori that it is the inalien
able right and the peculiar province of women
to heal the siok and to make fortunes in the
Chinese trade.
