THE DAILY EVENING TELEGU API I PJ 1 1 L AD I L PUT A , TIIUlDAV, JANUARY 12, 1871. srxxuT or r:iu run as. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journal uponCurrentTopics Compiled Every Oay for the Evening Telegraph THE FENIAN AMNESTY, 7 Vm! lie London Spectator, The condition which the Government have affixed to their liberation of the FenUu pri soners seems to us to be a miserable mistake, nnwiae, ungenerous, and unjust. To c-Uim credit for it 4,ns an act of pure clemency," which not even the most malignant enemy of the Government dare venture to misrepre sent, ia hardly worthy of Mr. Gladstone's keen intelligence and seiious character. If it be proper to append Queen Victoria'H name to an act of amnesty granted to Irish rebel., it should not be coupled with conditions which even Lonis Nnpoleon would have been ashamed to subjoin to an am nesty offered to the most dangerous and unscrupulous of the French lieds. After all, the condition affixed to the liberation of these unhappy men is neither more nor less than banishment for life. They are required to leave the United Kingdom, and to undertake not to return to it. This sweeping and perpetual sentence is made applicable to all of them, though there is a wide variety in their degree of guilt, and also in the terms of imprisonment to which they are liable. Some of them, like Burke and Mackay, have had sentence of death for levying war against the Queen commuted to imprisonment for life some, like Luby and Mulcaby, now five years in gaol, have gone through a great part of the period of punish ment imposed upon them for writing news paper articles which the Irish courts consi dered treasonable in the good old time when Sir Robert reel, being Chief Secretary, de clared that he and Lord Falmerston would stand or fall with the Irish Church, and when Mr. Card well solemnly warned the Irish people that Parliament would never listen to their demands for tenant-right. If Farliament has been wise in the work it has done during the last two sessions, there was surely some little excuse for 6trong writing in those days. To pass a fresh sentence of perpetual exile on such men, and on others whose sentences were only for spaces of seven and five years, and who would, therefore, be absolutely entitled to their liberty after a comparatively short pe riod of further restraint on men who have, in many cases, suffered so considerable a propor tion of their sentence as has often sufficed to let some hardened thief or desperate garroter loose on our streets with a ticket-of-leave on men the degree of whose guilt it would be impossible to distinguish from that of their comrades to whom a full and uncondi tional pardon was given two years ago to do this is, we do not hesitate to say, simply, utterly, and flagrantly unjust. But apart from this general consideration of the case, these unfortunate men are, we venture to assert, entitled to claim their libe ration from Mr. Gladstone, if not as an abso lute right, still in virtue of an undertaking on bis part, in some degree conditioned by circumstances which very decidedly deprive it of the quality of "an act of pure cle mency." When the Peace Preservation act was before the House of Commons last March, the late Mr. Moore, M. P. for Mayo, had given notice of his intention to bring the case . . 1 T " 1 I " 1 I . . . oi ino iriau ponucai prisoners ueiore parlia ment. Such a motion at tho moment might have proved embarrassing. The Government was, at all events, exceedingly anxious to be come possessed, with as little delay as possi ble, of the necessary but formidable weapon of law then in rapid process of fabrication. Some communications of the kind usual in Buch cases no doubt took plaoe, for Mr. Gladstone on the 17th of March submitted to the process of an interpellation on the part of Mr. Moore, the course of which had evidently been arranged beforehand. A cer tain vague and gloomy amphibology never theless pervaded Mr. Gladstone's answer, which dissatisfied Mr. Moore, a man of vivid and precise phrase; and four days afterwards, when the question came on again, it tran spired that Mr. Gladstone had agreed before hand to give an answer in terms somewhat more distinct. These are the precise terms -which Mr. Moore embodied in his notice of a second question which he addressed to the Prime Minister on the 31st of March: "That the consideration of this question the liber ation of the prisoners must necessarily de pend upon the restoration of law and order in Ireland, and as soon as the disorders now prevailing in that country are repressed, Mr. Gladstone trusts that he will be able to give a very different answer to Mr. Moore, and to announce the liberation of the political pri soners." Mr. Gladstone said in reply that this was the very meaning he had intended to convey on the previous evening. But what, may we et-k, did Mr. Gladstone mean by the word "liberation '('' Did he mean transportation for life ? We know no case in which a politi cal amnesty has been so interpreted except that of Poerio and his comrades, who, having been deported to the United States by the King of Naples, mutinied on the voyage, and carried their transport into Cork. But it is evident that Mr. Gladstone did not mean to transport the Irish political prisoners to America at the time that he gave the answer to which Mr. Moore objected as deficient in olearness and savor; because in that answer be spoke of the cruelty it would be to hold out misleading hopes prematurely to the friends of the prisoners. If it had been his intention then to release those prisoners on Christmas Eve, with the one condition that they should never see their homes, families, and friends again, then, we must say, so much and tuch ostentatious consideration for the feelings of their friends and families might well have been spared. Nor need the whole population of Ireland have been bound over to keep the peace on publio conditions expressed in Parliament, if such was the sort of political amnesty that her Majesty's Minis ters uiumaiejy contemplated. It was not, perhaps, wise statesmanship so to identify the case of the political prisoners with the con duct of the general population, that their liberation should oe maae to depend on the amount of crime perpetrated uurina the fol lowing six months or so. But at all events.the peace preservation act appears to have an swered 1U purpose. Juaw uu uruer nave been, so to sneak, restored in Ireland. The disor ders which prevailed in that country last March have been repressed, Air. -uoore, now. ever, no longer lives to claim the very differ ent answer which Mr. Gladstone held oat the hope of Lis beinc able to give. Under such circumstances, to interpret "liberation" as weaning "banishment is at least ungene rous. Of all the causes which have contri buted to make the relations between the two countries bo bitter and bloody, hardly any hai been so potent as this holding the word of promise to the ear at one time and quibbling r . ... t : ii i i It away at anoiuer wun proiebious uut nave, to tho mind of a people at once simple and fcuppicious, all the effect of a some what solemn and exuberant insincerity. Hut the unwisdom of sending these men to the United States at this moment for the United States in, of conrso, tho one country outside tho United Kingdom open to them in the present stale of the world has in it something so inconsiderate as to be almost appalling. What must these men do of mere net-easily when they arrive there ? It would be too much to expect that a feeling of loyal p ratitude should grow in their bosoms during the Atlantio voyage In consequence of the degree of "liberation" in which they have been indulged. These convicts, who were picking oakum or breaking stones a week ego, will arrive at New York and find them delves the idols of n popular ovation and in recognized command of a great political Influence. The Irish vote will be at their bidding, at a time when the rotations of America with England are again assuming a very anxious character. The city of New York will doubtless receive them with publio honors. They may be admitted to the floor of the Berate and entertained at the White House. The Fenians of New York, in public meeting assembled on the 1st inst., came to the following resolution: " Whereas, Gene ral Butler has avowed himself a friend of America and an enemy of England by his determination to have the plun dered American citizens repaid for the depredations committed on them by tho Alabama and other Southern cruisers, and having signalized the Irish as the men to fight England and humble her, be it, there fore, resolved, that we who love Ireland and wish ber liberation, do hereby pledge our selves to General Butler that the moment he Bays 'rally,' we will be with him." The terms of this declaration are sufficiently absurd. But the fact remains that at a lime when the Fenian organization in the United States had fallen into a state of almost complete collapse from lack of leadership, we are sending its most daring and able spirits to the very base of the operations of the conspiracy. Ere many weeks we may reasonably expect to hear that Luby and Mulcaby are "stumping" the Union in aid of General Butler and the llusso-Prusso-Arnerican alliance, while Burke and Mackay are directing operations on the Cana dian frontier to illustrate President Grant's peculiar views of that "irresponsible Do minion." It certainly ia not wise statesman ship to send these men to the one part of the world where they may, and almost must, make much mischief; where there is every temptation to them to resume their old courses, and where those courses at present are the high road to popularity, influence, and means. If it were proper to couple conditions with an act of pure clemency, there is one which might with advantage be substituted for that which Mr. Gladstone has imposed. The po litical prisoners might have been bound to return to and to remain in Ireland. There they would find that the great injustices whose existence made political conspiracy possible ten years ago have been summarily abolished. They would find a popular Exe cutive armed with powers ample and effectual to enable them to answer for the peaoe of the country. They would, in their own despite, serve as living monuments of the clemency of a wise and fearless Government. The Irish administration would hardly shrink from such an addition to their charge for this is not a time to make things easy to the Irish Executive at the expense of the empire. Is it too late to hope that before this ungen erous and impolitic condition is enforced, the sovereign herself may object to have the quality of her mercy strained after suoh a fashion? If such an act were possible, that is to say constitutional, it would make the royal clemency a word of pure and serious meaning from shore to Bhore of Ireland. RAILWAYS AND ROMANCE. From the N. T. World. The name of Stokes, though respectable. is hardly romantic; and we suspect that even tne author of those remarkable works of fiction known as the novels of Ouida would be slow to elect Mr. James Fisk as a hero of romance, ilow, then, can we sufficiently admire the audacity of the Tribune, which has invented and issued a "tale of two cities" wherein Mr. Fisk and Mr. Stokes are made to appear, now as Achilles and Agamemnon quarrelling over the beauty of Briseis, then as Richelieu and Cinq-Mars at odds for the favors of Marion, and then as Jack Sheppard and Jonathan Wild inflamed to deadly feud by the fascinations of a more lovely than Moll Flan ders ? If we are to believe the Tribune, Mr. Fibk has a soul so far above the railway bonds and the golden buttons which have been in cessantly declared to divide hisjaffections.that he fell into a perfect transport of fury on finding himself supplanted by a rival in the tender regards of a modern Lais, wLjni he had loved neither so wisely as he should, nor, as it would appear, so well as she would have him; upbraided the inconstant fair one with her fickleness, and vowed a vengeance deep and dire upon his rival. Had the scene of the Tribune's tale of love been laid on the Bosphorus or in the middle ages, it would doubtless have depicted Mr. Fisk to us in the character of the Grand Turk causing a saok to be clapped over the head of the Giaour who had. extinguished the "Light of the Harem," and him to be dropped silently and succinctly into the seaward tide whioh makes forever westward through the Golden Horn. Or it would have represented the passionate Prince of Erie armed cup-a-pie, at the head of his retainers, storming by night the castle of Sir Lancelot do Stokes, and mingling the blood of that deluding knight with the red wine mantling in his goblets of price. As it is, we are invited to believe that Mr. Fisk brought to bear on his foe not mango nels but injunctions; that he invoked not the "fair devil Venus" to aid him, but Astrea from her temple in the City Hall; that he laid not military but hnaneial snares to entrap the too enchanting Stokes; and that he succeeded in wielding the whole ma chinery of the State to effect the commercial annihilation, the arrest and the imprison ment of his successful competitor. Could we suppose this story to be true, we should Bfek Miss Anthony and her agitating sis ters what possible need there can be of enhancing the influence of woman in a community wherein such darts can be shot from "a white wench's black eye." But the story, of course, cannot possibly have origi ' nated elsewhere than in the Aroadian soli tudes of Chappaqua. It is a mere jumble of "Daphnis and Chloe" with "liinaUo Ilinal dini'f and "The Monk" and the "Mysteries of Paris." In comparison with suoh corusca tions of amorous moonshine as this, the Tri bune' story of its little triplex correspondent who sat on the crupper of a dead horse, and drank beer with King William sitting on it head, becomes almost credible. THE WRONGED WOMAN. JVem the H. T. TiiUuTt. One of those Boston essayists whose cheer ful humor and good English have drawn our . literature into a chatty, good tempered moo J, took up lafct week the social evil a his text, and, after protesting that tho wronged wonun had become the bugbear not only of society bnt of literature, proceeded to give ns a very effective sketch (after Hawthorne) of her dead in a cart and draped with a shawl. Oar cBPfljist Fpoke a deeper truth than, perhaps, be knew. Ia literature or art the one more unfortunate is always when lugged in pic turesque and effective whether as the Mig dalene with face repentant, if not reformed, bending over a skull, or plung ng out of life's mystery into death madly by night. But in real life the wronged woman is the problem that faces the reformer at every corner, un clean and commonplace, and, by virtue of its very commonness and nncloannoss, the one problem yet nnconquered. Hers is the sole iiguie about which in real life you can throw none of the softening shadows or half lights which beloDg to it in fiction. The wronged woman, dead in a cart, or drawn from the river which had drunk her down at last to easeful death, is a something which wrings our heart with pity; but Anonyma alive, brazen, starving what will you do with her ? She has made for herself a place, though oa the very edge of tho pit, and society (by which we here mean decent woman hooi) re fuses, with perhaps a reasonable instinct of self-protection, to give her an inch of safe btauding ground. Wholesale reformatories, we cannot but perceive, are of but little practical value in her case. The very Excess of the animal or emotional nature which caused her to fall renders it impossi ble to reach her by any machinery of gene ralizing system or rules. She will not be made to see the error of her ways by the clockwork routine of a decent life or instruc tion ia needlework. You -cannot marshal her nor her like by platoons into conversion. Ten to one, when she leaves the Rosine Asy lum or the House of the Good Shepherd she goes back with redoubled zest into her old life. She is the leper at our gates. Say what we will, it is hardly safe or practical for many families to receive her within their homes, and by intimate fellowship to attempt her enre. We cannot legislate for her; we cannot ignore her. She is there, night and day, an inexorable, obstinate, death-dealing fact. We cannot even drown and make her the picturesque shadow of literature. We find in our late English exchanges an account of an experiment for the redemption of fallen women now making at Brighton, which seems to us to embody so many ele ments of success that we wish to call to it the attention of our own reformers. The idea originated with a woman, the first essential of success, by the way, in any scheme for the help of woman. This lady (only known to us by an initial another good sign) appears to have stamped her individuality upon every detail of the plan. The house whioh she gov erns is not a reformatory, but a home. "A girl who leaves it to go back to evil ways is not received into it again; other means are taken to help her, but that privilege sho is held to have forfeited. Surely we cannot learn too early," says Mrs. V., "that justice is the backbone of mercy, and that the most merciless thing you can do in the world is to make sin easy to the sinner." Opposed to this necessary sternness in her system we find the keen tact and womanly tenderness by whioh she makes the home cheerful and heartsome; avoids clothing the inmates in . uniform, giviDg them instead well-fitting and becoming dress. One hint we find especially sugges tive in the story of a woman who had at tempted suicide, and whom she wished put in the way of earning a decent livelihood. "I want you first," said Mrs. V. to her agent, "to hire a room with a nice sunny aspect, and get some flower-pots to put in the window, Mind, the plants must be in full flower." An other still more significant hint is to be found in ber remarks upon the benefit of vehement religious excitement upon the women whom she has in charge. They are, she tells us, pe culiarly susceptible to any such appeals. "A single, earnest, and rather sensational ad dress to them on the Prodigal Son, or some moving portion of Scripture, with some allu sion to their mothers and their early ho cues, is enough to throw them into an agony of uncontrollable weeping. But what have you gained ? You have only ministered to the very want of self-control which has been one of the great sources of all their misery. Satan knows well enough, that just as a pot boiling over, for all the noise it makes, will end in putting out the fire, and half emptying itself, so if he can get but a Joung convert to boil over into much talk, oud professions, and preaching to others, before he can well stand himself; above all, if he can get him to boil over in his own estima tion, and fancy himself something wonderful, he will soon cool down and be left half empty with the fire gone out." In conjunction with this sound sagacity we hear of the childlike practical faith which prompts her, when a butcher refused to sacrifice the rent of a night-house, and so prevented the reclama tion of its inmates, to go down upon her knees with him and pray to God to show him his duty. Tho quiet, earnest prayer had its effect; the butcher yielded. The whole story appears to us full of mean ing. A fallen woman, to be saved, must come in contact, not with a system or rule, but with another woman. Not only Christ-like charity must go out to meet her, but careful, shrewd sagacity and knowledge of human nature. And underneath all must be that faith, downright and absolute, now, as in the days of the first Magdalene, in a power above earthly effort. A faith which, in order to accomplish God's work, would appeal as con fidently and quietly that reason might be given to an obstinate butcher, as that the Angel of Death might be stayed in its course. TnE PULPIT AND THE PRESS. From the Baltimore American. There ought to be, if there is not, a close svmpatby between the pulpit and the Dress. They ought to bath aim at the elevation and improvement of the people, morally and physically, as well as religiously. We do not think the press fulfils its entire mission by the discussion of politics or dissertations on State and national affairs; neither do we think that the pulpit comes up to the full meed of duty or usefulness when it confines its labors to expounding the Scriptures and the discussion of church dogmas. The twa most popular and useful ministers now occu pying pulpits are the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, of London, and Henry Ward Beecher, of Brook lyn. It will not do to say that they are sensa sionalists, for the truth is there is nothing sensational about either of them. Mr. Spur geon is more of a conversationalist than a preacher. There ia no effort made by him to carry away the minds of his ten thou sand bearers by brilliant flights of fanoy or by high-Bounding rhetorical flourishes. On the contrary, he merely converses with his people, leaning leisurely over the pulpit; but every word he utters is addressed to the heart and the understanding. He abounds in original expressions, quaint similes, and striking comparisons between Scripture inci dents and the ooourrenoes of every-day life. He does not confine himself to the expound ing of Scripture texts which have been worn threadbare by repetition, but shows his henreis wherein tbey fail to corue up to Scripture requirements in their action1? and thoughts, as well as in their conduct to their fellow-men. If preaching a charity sermon, he would not confine himself to a frequent repetition of the Scriptural assurance that "he who giveth to the poor loudeth to the Lord," but would reach the pockets of his hearers by showing them wherein it is their dnty to give of their abundance to their suffer ing fellow-creatures choorf nlly and ungrudg ingly. He would appeal to their hearts and understandings, as well an to their duty as professing Christians. When the presi un dertakes a charitable work it is genernlly more successful than the pulpit, because it presents the points of the caso in a more practical light, and depends on appealing to the hu manity and sympathy of its readers for suffer ing fellow-man. Some eleven years since we had the plea suie of listening to Mr. Spufgeon, forming one of a congregation of eleven thousand. It was an ordinary occasion, and to this day we can remember many points of his interesting and practical discourse. He had then bean preaching in London for ten years, and for eleven years since he has been holding forth twice every Sunday to congregations of ten thousand, the building being thronged to overflow. If he was a sensational preacher the novelty would have worn itself out long ago, and the vast edifice which has been erected for him would have been a failure. But there is no flagging in the desire to hear him. The vices and sins "which do so easily beset us" are handled without fear of giving offense, and his listen ers feel that at least a portion of his dis course is directed especially at their indivi dual follies. In the thousand other churches of London one can always find abundance of vacant seats, but the ten thousand seats of Mr. Spurgeon's tabernacle are always filled, and the doors closed on hundreds of others seeking admission long before the hour for commencing service. Nor will it do for any one in this country to ray that Mr. Beecher is a seusalionalist. He has at times meddled with matters not strictly within the province of the pulpit, end has committed some errors, but no minister has a more devout or devoted congregation. He exercises a wide spread influence over the hearts and minds of the people, not only in New York and Brooklyn, but throughout the country. Everything that emanates from his pen is eagerly perused, and ho recognizes the power of the press and a part of its mis sion to be the inculcation of sound moral principles and the correction of vice and im morality. He is not satisfied with merely expounding the Scriptures, but discusses the incidents and events of the day, not only in the pulpit, but with his pen, and seems never to rest from bis labors. The venerable Joseph Gales, a few years before his death, declared that an editor "should never write unless he has something to write about" unless "what he has to say will interest and instruct his readers." As a general thing editors try to follow his advice, though they may not always be able to attain the point of securing the attention and ear nest thought of those whom they address. They, however, nearly always write with this object in view. Can the same be said of our clergymen Could not most of their hearers sit down intheir libraries and read old sermons on the same texts, more vigorous, earnoit, and applicable to the present day, even though they may have been delivered a century ago ? A clergyman has a whole week to prepare his sermon, and one would think that he ought always to have something brilliant and in structive, as well as entertaining, to present to his congregation. The editor has to write one or two articles a day, and to make up the subjects on the spur of the moment, without time for preparation or research. He cannot shut himself up in his study, and revise and improve to-morrow what he has written to-day. The first portion of the editor's article is often in type before he has completed the last pages, and it is frequently the case that he has not even an opportunity to see the proof sheets. Thus the minister has the decided advantage, and if he preaches a dull and uninteresting ser mon a sermon that will not give his congre gation something to think about after they have returned to their homes why, we rather think he has mistaken his calling. ' In neither Mr. Beeoher's nor Mr. Spurgeon's churches are there any pageants or ceremo nials, which some at the present day think necessary in Protestant churches to get up a sensation among the people. The services are of the simplest character, and the attrac tion consists altogether 'in an effort on the Eart of these divines to please the ear and the eart, and improve the understanding, rather than to dazzle the eye. They flock to their churches to hear what ia said, and not to see what is done. They expeot to be enlightened, edified and instructed, and neither to be dazzled by brilliant rhetoric nor amused by tinkling ceremonials. There are no old sermons revamped at these churches. Their discourses are original, fresh, earnest, and sparkling. They, like the editor, never reproduce the labor of previous years, and put "old wine in new bottles." Would that we had a few such live teachers of the peovle in Baltimore! Our churches are, many of them, sadly in want of a "sen sation" of this character something to draw the people beyond the mere formal duty of "attending stated preacning. WATCHES. JEWELRY, ETO.
