riN AFORE PIETY.
From the AT. r. Sun.
Every one who is at nil familiar with the
names of celebrities in the serious world will
at once recognize that of the Rev. Edward
Tayson Hammond, the distinguished revival
ist, who is now "reviving" the children of
Newark. It is not to be doubted that his in
tentions are excellent and that he works ex
tremely hard in developing them. We, for
one, are not anxious to delect a wolf in every
one who comes amongst us wearing the cloth
ing of a sheep. If the bleat sounds natural
and the wool looks white and none of our
ewe lambs are missing or injured, we have
every disposition to allow the new comer to
have his bah out, and then to carry the tink
ling of his bell into other folds.
At the first blush, therefore, we are dis
posed to feel rather kindly towards Mr. Ham
mond, believing that he conceals no detest
able passion beneath the guise of religion,
and that he is content to work without money
and without price, and to experience reite
rated surprises whenever the community
whom he has last been reviving present him
with a handsome gratuity of several hundreds
or thousands of dollars. In this world there
are men worse than he men who cloak an
unutterable amount of crime beneath a pro
fession identical with his. We believe that
Mr. Hammond, at present over in Newark,
is preaching there to infants a span high
if we may be permitted to borrow a
figurative expression which is frequently
used in a very different application
and is exherting children in pinafores
to pause and consider their ways, and inquire
what they shall do to be saved. Where is the
hardened child of Bix that Hammond will not
in as many minutes reduee to tears? And
where is the lost reprobate of four-and-a-half
who cannot be convinced in one short sermon
that he (not Mr. Hammond) is a miserable
sinner; that he would rather (infinitely!
starve than steal, and that there is no chanoe
for him on the other side of Jordan unless he
buys Hammond's New Praises of Jesus, only
twenty-five cents, from which Mr. Ham
mond's publishers make a profit. We do not
belive that Mr. Hammond could so long have
labored In Newark, or anywhere, for the mat
ter of that, without these effects legitimately
following.
We are not prepared to enter into any ar
gument as to the age at which suoh a senti
ment of religion shall enter into the heart
of a child, or will lead it to try to put religion
into its daily life. But we think that children
are such tender little plants that, as a rule,
the religious handling of them had better be
left to their fathers and mothers than deli
vered, even for an hour, to any sensational
religious rover, who bruises their young
souls with harsh theological dogmas. We
believe it was the immortal Mrs. Pipohin
who informed her young pupils that children
who sniffed in company never went
to heaven. Mr. Hammond is a masouline
Pipcbin, more unctuous and amiable,
apparently, than that old lady was, and the
doctrine that he preaches to the baby men
and women of the day is a doctrine that
glooms life and too often paralyzes action.
To every one of them life will soon enough
bring experiences of sin and sorrow, with
out their having those experiences antici
pated by the morbid paintings of an un
healthy mature mind. However much our
readers may disagree among themselves in
their religious convictions, we are not afraid
of offending many prejudices when we re
mark that the religious training of the
children should not be put into the hands
of every pious proletarian who endeavors to
print his narrow viewo upon their pure and
plastic spirits.
THE PEOPLE AND THE PRINCESS.
From the London Spectator.
There is something very perplexing, and to
us at least not a little irritating, in the sudden
outbreak of popular feeling against the mar
riage of the Princess Louise, an outbreak so
bitter that it may yet provoke a discreditable
seene in the House of Commons. In every
great borough the first question as-ied of a
representative is whether he intends to vote
against the grant of a dowry to the Princesp,
and a reply in the negative very
often evokes an unmistakable
hiss. Mr. Forster at Bradford turned
tb.9 subject with the happy mot that he could
not fine the Princess for marrying a Scotch
man, but at Halifax Mr. Stansfeld was pes
tered with the question, at Chelsea the aietn
bers nearly lost the usual vote beoause they
would not clear themselves upon the matter,
at Brighton both members stand pledged to
vote against the grant, and in every metro
politan constituency the subject is as embar
rassing as the Permissive bill or the Conta
gious Diseases act, or any other topio upon
upon which there is a misunderstanding be
tween the electorate and the political classes.
What in the world does it all mean?
What has the clever Princess done, or
what is she about to do, that she should be
treated with this exceeding disoourtesy, her
name bandied about by all manner of lips,
and her settlement criticized as if she were a
pauper applying for 2s. a week and a loaf por
day, and suspected of hoarding money? Of
course the tax-payers have a right to discuss
any grant submitted to Parliament nobody
questions that but It is possible to exeisa
any right in an atrociously potty and
stupid way, and that, with all respect for
them, is the way in which they are exer
cising this one. Possibly taut may be the
fault of local orators, who know that they are
Riving expression to a latent and indefinite
discontent, but do not know how to put their
case on any intelligible grounds; bat it is
most perplexing and annoying to see how
readily the householders, just invested with
power, join in an insulting and unreasonable,
and above all, a trumpery complaint. They do
not even take the trouble to make the grouads
of their ill-feeling clear. Are their
members to resist the dowry because the
electors dislike the marriage ? That would
be intelligible and just, the electors having
a distinct interest in the marriage of any one
within the line of the succession, but there
is no trace of any feeling of the kind. The
German princes, it is believed, with the Kaiser
at their head, condemn the alliance as dero
gatory to the royal caste, and decLire that
they will not receive the Marquis of Lome
any more than the Marquis Kapallo, but the
English electors certainly do not sym
pathize with the Hohenzollern prido.
As little are thev in accord with
the feeling of the peers, who see a
new order of nobles introduced between them
And the throne; or with the philosophic con
stitutionalists, who feel that monarchy is
weakened whenever the Biahuiinlike sanctity
of the royal caste suffers a derogation. That
notion is muoh more widely diffused than
the court is quite aware, but that in certainly
not shared by the people who hurl these ques
tions at representatives who are half-ashamed
to offer a reply. If the noise had been con
fined to London we should have Raid it was
mere expression of a temporary irrita
tion against the sovereign, of very
little political or even social import
ance. There is no doubt that in her capital
Queen Victoria has at last exhausted her
long-enduring popularity with the masses.
They think it her Majesty's daty to live in
her capital, to be the visible chief of her
realm; and they resent her preference for re
mote wildernesses, and,her abhorrence of city
life, as a dereliction of duty. That feeling,
however, is confined to London, and
it is out of London that the op
position to the Prinoess' dowry is fiercest and
most loud.
Is it possible that the real cause of the fuss
was explained at Brighton, that a consider
able section of the electors really do object,
as one man objected there, to giving away
such a quantity of money to a lady who is
marrying a great noble, and therefore can
not need it? Here we are, says the orator, in
utter distress, and here is the Queen taking a
sum of that kind out of the pockets of the
tax-payers! We are greatly afraid that this
is the true explanation, and we cannot con
ceive one whiob should inspire less
confidence in the future. The one
hope for Great Britain is that its
electorate will prove in the long run a
sensible one, that it will not be hopelessly
vulgar in sentiment, and that it will take
some trouble to obtain accurate information.
Yet what is to be hoped from men who en
dorse a speech of this kind, who cannot see
that grants to the children of the Sovereign
are the conditions of that staleliness of cere
monial life without which a throne in
England would be a meaningless nui
sance, who raise trivialities of this
sort into grave public questions, who
object to appanages bocause they injure the
poor man, and in the same breath object to
dockyard reductions, because they also injure
the poor man, who, above all, will nevor
recollect or attend to the simplest matters of
fact?
It is of no use, we smppose, tor us to
ro-
state those facts, for we cannot roach
the
class which ignores them; but we will
once more. There are grave reasons
try
for
questioning the utility of monarchy in Eng
land, for doubting whether its existence does
not wider the chasm between the national
aspirations and the national power of realiz
ing them, for suspecting that as all real
power has passed to a sovereign assembly all
responsibility should be transferred theie too,
But there is no reason, or justice, or common
decency in attacking the monarchy on the
ground of its expense, or for haggling with
the royal family about allowances which are
necessities or their position, and, so long as
the people deliberately prefer monarchy, of
publio dignity. The British throne is the
cheapest in Europe, costing, with all allow
ances, appendages, and expenses for symbols,
less than half as muoh as any first-class
tnrone supported out of revenue,
Its whole expenditure, even if it
came out of taxes, would not be
equal to ten farthings in the pound, or 1 per
cent, upon the gross collections an laden
nitely small amount, if the monarchy really
secure the order, permanence, and habit of
obedience supposed to be ensured by its ex
istence, and as it accidentally happens, little
more than the sum which any republican
change would of necessity add to our
direct expenditure in the shape of pay
ment to members. Lacking the throne
and the system it supports, we must
pay our representatives as the Union
does, and the sum required would of itself
exceed the Queen's share of the money voted
for the Civil List. Nor is this all. The
Crown lands were undoubtedly the property
of the Sovereign, so much so that he could
give them away; and Parliament, when it
interfered to prevent waste, did so on the dis
tinct plea that it had the right in all cases of
entail to make laws to prohibit wastry,
ine ale interest is surrendered by every
new sovereign on conditions, one of
which is certain . payments, which are
specified, and another is, certain possible al
lowances as to dowries, etc, which are un
specified, and are, in fact, governed by an
unwritten etiquette varying with the temper
of Parliament and other circumstances,
These lands produce more than the Queen's
allowance, or 350,000 a year, and if deoently
managed, managed like any noble's pro
perty, would produce 100,000 more than the
sum-total of all the moneys drawn by all
members of the Royal Family. The
mismanagement is not the fault
of the Court, but of the people.
Under these circumstances, to refuse a
customary grant, always hitherto made, very
moderate in itself, and essential to the dignity
England desires its princesses to maintain,
would be little less than dishonorable. We
entirely admit that Parliament reservod a
right to place a practical veto ou any royal
marriage, by refusing dowry; but it mu3t be
on the ground that the marriage is inimical to
the nationul well-being, ground which ia this
instance ia not pleaded.
We are rather ashamed to discuss the mat
ter thus, when we know that the simple sen
tence "The Princess is a daughter of Eng
land, and must have such dowry as befits
England to give," will seem to most of our
readers the all-sufficient reply, but it is a
great mistake in English politicians to disre
gard the prejudices which every now and
then seem to fester in the common mind.
Those who entertain them are now the elec
tors, and they ought to be informed
by speakers who can reach them much more
readily than we can. It ia a melan
choly confession to make, but we
believe the statement could be confirmed by
thousands of squires, clergymen, and school
teachers, that the greatest danger of the
throne in the country districts where loyalty
is a religion, or, to speak more accurately,
where "Queen, Lords, and Commons" are
supposed to be self -existent, is the belief that
the "Queen's taxes" are levied by the Queen
herself, and spent at Her Majesty's discretion,
which just now is to give some of the money
to a Scottish noble who does not want it, but
who is to be made fat. Londoners will
laugh, but the statement is literally true,
end some day or other we shall see some
of these odd engrained political superstitions
ccme to the surface with a rush, it may be with
en explosion, just because nobody thinks it
worth while to answer anything so silly, or
because some Liberals have a latent idea that
any prejudice against monarchy or aristo
cacy, however baseless, tends to strengthen
the popular cause. It is not in the interest
of our own tide, but of common daoenoy and
justice, that we condemn Liberal meiubars
tor allowing ignorant constituents to utter
tLese slanders unrebuked. It ii not by false
Mattiutnta as to the cobt of the monarohy or
by dirty little stoppings at the gold fringe ou
its robe that the cause of Liberalijni, even if
Liberalism and republicanism be identical,
ought to be promoted. The throne may be
an injury, or a surplusage, or an anachronism,
but at least let us sneer down the men who,
keeping the throne an a symbol, would sub
stitute for its covering cotton velvet.
THE MISSING TENNESSEE.
From ts S. T. World.
The Tennessee left this port on January 17
en toyage for San Domingo, commanded by
one of the most experienced and skilful cap
tains of the United States navy, and manned
by some four hundred men. Sue has not
since been heard of, and as she ought to have
reached San Domingo in ten days, it is widely
believed that she has met with some serious
accident. The hypothesis of her destruction
by fire seems to be out ' of the Question.
remembering the discipline observed on ves
sels of war, the number of men constantly
on guard, and thejresonrces at command to
extinguish it. Rarely, if ever, has a case
been heard of in which a man-of-war wan
destroyed by fire. But if she were burned
some boatruis of her passengers ought to
have been picked up. That it was perfectly
possible and even easy for a storm to break
her amidships there has been too much evi
dence already published to allow of any
doubt; but fortunately she has not been ex-
rosed to any storm. The Ions list of arrivals
from the latitudes through which her course
lay, already published in the World, proves
that there was no heavy weather until the
fleet of arrivals was off Hatteras, and this
was long after the time which she, slow as
she is, could have occupied in sailing beyond
it. There is the possibility of her steam-
chest exploding, and of course of this
it is difficult to affirm anything; but va
rious seemingly authoritative statements
have been made concerning the strength and
satisfactory character of her boilers and ma
chinery. Again, it is possible that she was
cast ashore; but this is improbable, for other
wise she would have been hnard from long
since. If cast on the American coast it would
be a matter of but a few hours; if cast An any
of the deserted islands on her oourse between
this and San Domingo it would be a matter
of a few days only, remembering the distance
end the number of ships plying in the region,
to send word to an American port. That one
of her boats is much less likely to live in At
lantic sens than the boat of the recently
wrecked Saginaw was in its long voyage to
Honolulu is hardly to be supposed. The state
ment made by Mr. Dickerson to our reporter
should be borne in mind by those account
ing for this prolonged absence of the Ten
nessee. He is not one of those sanguine be
lievers in the character of her machinery,
which is "marvellously cumbrous and com
plicated." Assuming that some accident
short of explosion and fire has occurred to
this cumbrously complicated mac'iinery, the
Tennessee would be as manageable as a log
in a hurricane." Mr. Dickerson thinks that
in this event "she may drift into the Florae
latitudes with some hope of being struck by a
portentous trade wind which would land her
on tho hospitable shores of Africa." So
that if she is not soon heard of from Havana
there may yet be news of her from the oppo
site hemisphere. Finally, there should be
borne in mind the statements of many of our
shipmasters and shipowners that communica
tion between Havana and San Domingo is
neither frequent nor regular, which may ao
count for our not hearing of her arrival at
Samana, but whue this ground for hope is
not much relied on at present by the publio,
and will lessen every day that we yet remain
without news, still, taken in connection with
the other facts mentioned before, there seems
no reason for supposing that we shall not yet
have happy tidings of the Tennessee and her
goodly company.
But while there is still much reason to hope
for the safety of the vessel, what a ojmment
on the radical mismanagement of our navy is
this popular panic! Hero is a new vessel
which has been "dootored" and patched to
the satisfaction of our naval authorities so
that it is put forward by them as one of the
finest representatives of our naval marine,
end selected by them to convey a United
States commission on an important inter
national mission. She is hardly a few weeks
overdue when nearly the whole nation, judg
ing that nothing was more natural, believes
that she is lost. Compared with the confi
dence felt in the safety of the City of
Boston, of the Inman line, last year, which
almost every one possessed, even after she
was overdue from six weeks to two months,
this absence of popular reliance on the work
of cur naval administrators is not very flat
tening.
THE SPRING TRADE.
From the Newark AdvettUer.
The New York spring trade promises to bo
a peculiar one. England, Austria, and
Switzerland have endeavored to supply the
deficiency of French production, while Ger
many, despite her immense drain of men
and money, has hardly diminished her pro
duction. Manufacturers, however, now only
work for orders, while formerly they pro
duced at haphazard one hundred pieces more
of certain classes of goods for contingent
customers. Much of these poods found
their way to our market in the shape of con
bignments, and interfered with the regular
trade. Another consideration to account for
the adequacy of the supply of goods, is the
fact that over a million men in Europe have
been wearing coarse uniforms for the last
six months, that the consumption of the
better goods has therefore been enormously
diminished. Still there is no reason to ex
pect a glut.
In France the war upset in twenty days
what it took ninety years to build up. All of
the French manufactured articles were bought
of the inevitable commission merchant in
Paris, but now buyers must go direct to
manufacturing towns. No interruption has
as yet been experienced in the silk trade, as
Lyons has been uninterruptedly at work, and
has sent the ordered goods on regularly,
But in the various kind of dress goods, from
worsted and cotton or bilk and worsted, great
difficulty is experienced, although the facto
ries have in no way been interfered with.
The trouble is, that while the yarn is spun
and woven around Lille, the dyeing establish
ments are around the enceinte of Paris.
The cloth is Bent there to be dyed; then
it goes back to be finished; and then goes to
Pans to be done up in oeaumui packages,
The siege having stopped this trade, our luer
chants found that they could not get the
cloth in color. One large dyeing establish
ment cf this class of goods is Cauibray, and
did not suffer much from the war, but this
ilace cannot do all the wore. Of course
considerable amount of goods is being turned
out. Ofthe supply the writer says: tier,
njiin fabrics will be in moderate supply, EaS'
lifcb, Swiss, ard Austrian goods iu full sup
ply; of French silks we shall have the usual
quantity and perhaps more, inasmuch as the
immense home consumption has, by reason
of the war. fallen off rreatly, and tho stores
will naturally seek au outlet for accumulated
stocks. llut all kinds of J? rencn uress goons,
not silk, nre likely to bo scarce and en
Lanced in price.
Ah for the home trade there will probably
bo a light stock of home-made cotton goods on
aooount of the prolonged drought. It in
therefore perfectly certain that owing to light
tooks stitTprices will prevail, notwithstanding
the fact that new cotton has touohed the
lowest price since 18G1, especially since the
high duties prevent the possibility of importa
tion. Home-made goods in woollens have
also suffered from the drought.
The general financial tone of trade is sound.
Payments have been met very fairly; and,
since the sharp setting in of the frost, an im
mense amount of old stock has been dis
tributed among the people, whioh will both
relieve stocks and give an impulse to a re
newed demand. Indeed, that Btooks through
out the country are exceptionally light, both
of home and of foreign goods. Despite the
fall in cotton, the South is in a sound condi
tion and owes little in our Northern markets,
and a moderate and healthy business, especi
ally in domestio goods, may be confidently
anticipated.
Considering all things, especially our rapid
approximation towards gold during the part
year, this is quite as favorable a showing as
could be expected.
THE CANADIAN FISHERIES.
From the rail Hall Gazette.
The acoount given in President Grant's
message of the dispute with Canada about the
privileges of American fisherman undoubtedly
caused some uneasiness in this country. The
proceedings of the Dominion Legislature are
not much known here beyond the walls of the
Colonial Cilice, and it was feared that this
young community, in resentment at the re
fusal of the Americans to continue recipro
city of commercial intercourse, bad been
adopting pome measures not merely of doubt
ful policy but of doubtful legality. The
documents which tell the story of all that has
been done have now been received from
Canada, and we are happy to say that, though
there may still be a question of the wisdom of
some of these recent enactments, they striotly
com or m to law and precedent.
Untho assumption that Canada and the
United Slates are dealing with one another at
arm s levgth, the American case is of really
astonishing weakness; and the assertion of
respectable American newspapers that the
grievances of the fishermen are too plain for
argument can only be explained by the Ame
rican habit of taking for granted that Amen
cans comdiaining of a British Government
are uecef-saiily in the right. As the latest
correspondence states the capture of several
more American nshmg-boats on tue Canadian
coasts, it may be well to describe how it
comes that euch captures are regarded by
Americans in any light different from the
capture of a Yankee smuggler running a cargo
of brandy on the west coast of Scotland.
The history or the American eudeavors to
obtain a share of the rich fisheries belonging
to England and her colonies begins as early
as the treaty of 1783. The United States had
secured their independence, but had failed in
all their attempts on the territories bejond
their present northern boundary, and peaoo
therefore Lad to be made with Canada and
tho neighboring settlements still in the hands
of the British. Iu ceasing, however, to be
British subjects, the Americans showed great
reluctance to divest themselves of some of
the privileges which they had derived from
their allegiance to the Crown, and by obsti
nate perseverance they succeeded in getting
a provision inserted in the treaty of peaoe
which gave them some limited rights of
taking fish on the coast cf Newfoundland and
in other British American waters, and of
drying and curing their fish on the unsettled
shores of countries whioh were then for the
most part; desolate. The article conferring
these privileges was extremely ambiguous,
but it was abrogated, under the well-known
rule ofgthe law of nations, by the outbreak
of the war of 1812.
The Treaty of Ghent followed: it contained
no stipulation about the fisheries, the British
Commissioners having declined to renew the
old privileges, except in return for the free
navigation of the Mississippi, which the Ame
ricans refused to grant. Both countries were
thus remitted to their international rights,
but, as might be expected, American fisher
men were constantly trespassing on the waters
now forbidden to them, and a long series of
remonstrances from both sides produced at
last the convention of 1813, which is still in
force The right which the Americans were
most eager to recover was the right to take
fish on tbe coast of Newfoundland, and this
was conceded to them; but as regards the very
fishing grounds now in question the conven
tion contains the following very distinct pro
vision: "The United Statei hereby renounce for ever any
liberty heretofore enjoyed or claimed by the Inhabi
tants tht-reol to take, dry, or cure ObU on or within
ttree marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks,
or harbors of his Bnuunlo Majesty's dominions ia
America not Included within the above-mentioned
limits; provided, however, that the American Usher
men ahull be permitted to enter such hays or harbars
for tbe purpose of shelter and of repairing damages
then Id, of purchasiBg wood, and of obtaining
water, and for no other purpose whatever. Hut
they shall be under such restriction! as may bo ne
cessary to prevent their taking, drying, or curing
tlsh therein,or ia any other manner whatever abusing
the privileges hereby conceded to them."
President Grant's remonstrance is a new
application of that most dangerous doctrine
of international benevolence which threatens
to take away the whole value of international
law. In point of strict legality, he has abso
lutely no case whatever, as is more than
shown by our extract from the Convention of
1818, which itself merely declares the rule of
the general law of nations; but for want of a
case in law, the President transfers his litiga
tion to a new and a wholly irregular forum.
Appeals to the friendly consideration of a
neighbor may be made, and ought to be en
couraged; but the proper position of the par
ties is wholly inverted when, instead of a re
quest for friendliness, we have a oomplaint of
unfriendliness. If American diplomatists
begin a negotiation about the fisheries with
an admission that the Canadians are only
doing what they have a right to do, we may
hereafter state the reasons which lead us to
thick that some concessions may be made.
