NO. 103 8. THIRD STREET,
PHILADELPHIA. -
SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1871.
It is rumored that Sena' or Cameron ia
bout to issue a manifest surrendering the
chairmanship of Foreign Relations gracefully
to Senator Sumner, with the assuranoe that
he has no ambition to enforce against the
will of the people. Sensible for Cameron if
true!
The most difficult conundrum of the day is,
Who will be the next Governor of Connecti
cut? Jewell and the Republicans hare made
brilliant fight, but they maybe just near
enough success to lose it. This is Jewell's
.year; English should gracefully retire.
The President throws tap the sponge on
San Domingo, and practically apologizes to
the people for the unbecoming manner in
which it has been pressed upon Congress.
Now let him call off the Senatorial dogs he
Started on Sumner, demand Sumner's resto
ration to the head of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and everything will be
1 ovely. A good act only half done has not
half the merit of a good act fully and man
fully done. Halt right about face advanoe!
Conokebs is about to pass a stringent act to
suppress the Kn-klux of the South. All right,
if it is rightly done; but however well done,
the measure proposed falls far short of the
great want of the South and the great desire
of the country. The best way to stop the
Ku-klux business is to make amnesty univer
sal, and enlist every intelligent and reputable
citizen on the side of law and government.
Give the South amnesty, and bayonets and
thieving carpet-baggers will be allowed to
leave that country for the country's good. It
has been said that Butler may be blamed for
everything but being a fool. Can't he see
that, to restore good government in the
South, the men most interested in govern
ment should not be excluded from partici
pating in it ? Butler should look again.
THE TP. B. A. IN REBELLION.
The troubles in the coal region have at
length culminated in riot and bloodshed, and
it has been necessary to invoke the military
power of the Commonwealth to protect life
and property and to secure to peaceably dis
posed miners the right to work for their
living in spite of the prohibitions of the W.
B. A. The advocates of trades unionism
cannot extenuate or explain away the present
condition of affairs in the Scranton coal
region, and the bloodshed, incendiarism, and
violence of the last few days must make the
-opponents of the Workingmen's Benevolent
Association more determined than ever to
break its power and to protect themselves in
the future from any such unlawful combina
tions. The Governor has promptly ordered
a military foroe to the scene of the disturb
ance, and for this he is entitled to credit. The
eminently characteristic proclamation he
issued, however, may be set down as the very
worst state paper that he has ever signed
except the Ficken pardon and it cannot but
have the effect of making the rioters believe
that he more than half sympathizes with them.
The Governor makes the railroad companies
equally responsible with the miners for the
riots, and his pronnnciamento is directed as
much against them as it is against the men
actually engaged in the work of arson
and murder. The Governor knows perfectly
well that the railroad companies, whether
they are right or wrong in the imposition of
prohibitory rates of freight, have been guilty
of no acts of violence, and that they can
easily be held responsible by the civil autho
rities without the aid of bayonets, and the
peculiar construction of his proclamation is
merely an attempt to make political capital
by an appearance of impartiality. The effect
of such a proclamation must be to encourage
- the rioters in their resistance to the laws, and
to make the work of bringing about a peace
ful solution of the mining troubles more dif
ficult than ever.
A THEATRICAL NOVELTY.
A teleqeam from Havana reports a severe
battle in Dominica between the forces of
Cabral and Valentin Baez, in which, it is
said, "the opposing armies oonsisted of about
ten generals and four hundred troops on each
side." This proportion between generals and
soldiers indicates an exoess of fuss and feath
ers that must be exceedingly picturesque and
delightful to contemplate on parade days. Of
the forty men under command of each gene
ral it is fair to presume that a large propor
tion are colonels, lieutenant-oolonels, majors,
adjutants, captains, lieutenants, sergeants,
etc., and, making due allowance for them, it
becomes doubtful whether the Dominican
armies are deteriorated by the presence of a
single private. Each noble warrior ia of a
heroic cast, born to command, aBd destined
to play his part on the tented field in beautiful
soldier clothes.
Considering the size of the Dominican
armies and the grand display they would make
on the stage.it is surprising that some theatrioal
managers in search of a sensation do not im
port a full troupe of Cabral and Baez'a heroes,
to give fine effeot to a war scene in the Black
Crook or some other celebrated spectacle.
As Cabral's military chest, containing a sum
equivalent to several dollars in veritable
money, was captured in the late fight, he is, ne
doubt, in an unusually impecunious condi
tion, and the present moment would be a
very favorable one for commencing negotia
tions with him for a theatrical engagement.
' MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
The great case of Graham et al. vs. Stuart
et al, which has been on trial for a month
before Judge Williams at Nisi Frius, and
' vvhloh has occupied the attention of a large
dumber of the religiously interested portion
of the community for a much longer time)
came to an unsatisfactory conclusion yester
day, owing to the inability of the jury to
agree. This fight will now, we snppoe,
have to be commenced over again, and the
scandal to the cause of religion which it hai
occasioned will be indefinitely continued, to
the delight of the gentleman in black, who is
never better pleased than when he beholds
those who profess to be good Christians
doing his work for him. Now, what i all
this terrible rumpus in the First Reformed
Presbyterian congregation about, that it ia
necessary for a number of respeot
able and highly estimable gentlemen,
who are recognized as Christian leaders,
to be tbua punching each others'
ppiritnal heads, and exciting the ridi
cule of the ungodly by dragging their reli
gious quarrels into the Courts ? Is it a ques
tion of belief in God or Jesus Christ, or does
it relate in any way to saving sinners here
after or making mankind better while here
below ? Oh, dear, no; for these are matters
of comparatively small importance in the eyes
of many Christians beside the wearing or non
wearing of clerical vestments, the standing or
kneeling at prayers, the reading or extempo
rizing of petitions to the throne of grace, or
other like subjects upon which opinions may
differ, and the great case of Graham et al, vs.
Stuart et a', depends entirely upon the pro
priety of Brother Stuart giving voioe to his
thankfulness for the manifold blessings he
enjoys upon this mundane sphere, and for
the greater ones that he expects to enjoy
hereafter, by singing hymns, when the Re
formed Presbyterian Church, of which he ia
a member, rules that the Psalms of David, in
the m trical version of Rouse, shall alone flow
in harmonious numbers from his lips.
The whole case, as we understand it, turns
upon Rouse's "Psalms in Metre," and con
sidering the peculiar manner in whioh the
ideas of the Hebrew poet-king are burlesqued
in the verses of the old Cromwellian, it is
really creditable to Mr. Stuart, as a gentle
man of taste and culture, that he should wish
to give variety to his devotions by singing an
occasional hymn. If the Reformed Presby
terian Church, however, insists on standing
by Rouse, we do not see that Mr. Stuart has
any choice between giving up his hymns or
else attaching himself to some religious de
nomination which considers the singing of
hymns as commendable rather than otherwise.
The secular press is not interested in the
controversy about Rouse's Psalms, any more
than it is a great scandal to religion that can
not but do an immense injury to the cause of
Christianity. It is a matter of indifference
to outsiders whether the Reformed Presbyte
rians sing Rouse's version of the Psalms or
not, but it is not a matter of indifference if,
with such a shamefully inadequate subject
for a serious dispute-, they begin and carry on
an acrimonious public quarrel, which can
have bo other effeot than to make the religion
they profess ridioulous in the eyes of the un
believing world, and it is the duty of the
secular press to express a very decided opin
ion with regard to the folly and iniquity of all
such ecclesiastical squabbles.

To cay that our Suits at $10 are marvellously cheap
would say nothing, for the whole stock

goods are really a great deal cheaper to
the wearer.

THE FINE ARTS
Are an outgrowth of civilization and a mark at
wealth and refinement. It Is with nations. In this
respeci, as wnn men. X irst, ineir t nergies are de
voted 10 me Biruggie ior existence. Tiiea the accu
mulation of wealth is the main object of pursuit.
Wealth brings luxuries and leisure for the cultiva
tion of the Intellect and the (esthetic tastes. Thus,
finally, the love of the beautiful asserts itself, and
we have music, sculpture, poetry, the drama, archi
tecture, and all the myriad pleasing phenomena of
sight, tense, and hearing; which come under the
general designation of the Fine Arts.
Among tneBe may do included
JEWELRY AND FANCY GOODS,
Such as are found In modern Jewelry stores. Articles
of this class usually combine the ornamental with
the practical, and thus, like architect are, subserve a
useful purpose at the same time that they delight ns
with their beauty of design. Gold and silver
watches, table service, clocks, opera-glasses, fans,
etc.. ful til such a double nuroose. All these thimrs.
and hundreds more of the roost ornate patterns and
FPlfndid workmanship, greeted our en ran tu red
vision on a recent visit to the great establishment of
Messrs. ROBBIXS, CLARK &, DIDDLE,
Jewellers and Silversmiths. No. 11S4 Chesnut street,
This Is one of the oldest mercantile houses ia Phila
delphia, dating back to the vear 1800. when It was
establisheu by Philip Garrett, the grandfather ef
Samuel Biddle, of the present Orm. The original
store was In Market street, near Third. It may be
safelv affirmed that It wus unpretentious both In
architectural appearance and extent and quality of
biock compared wuii me
BEAITIFtL. MARBLE PALACE
At No. 1124 Chesnut street, la which Messrs. R . C A
K. now receive their multitude of customers. If
Phlltp Usrrett himself were again among the living,
and could step for a moment Into this Imposing edi
fice, he would doubtless be more astonished by the
elegant artistic arrangements, and by the magnifi
cent. proiuBion oi oeauiuui aua costiy articles cus
plaved on every hand, than are the strangers from
other cities who daily visit the place.
The building is four stories high, with an Imposing
marble front, and extending back nearly to Sansoui
street. The whole building Is occupied by this firm
for the various purposes Incidental to their Im
mense business, and In addition to their large
work-room directly In their rear, where engravlug
and many other branches or Jewelry work are
tram acted.
In 1821 Thomas Garrett, a son of Philip, succeeded
to the business, and carried It on at the old stand
until the year 1568, when he removed to No.-712
Chesnut street. In 186S Messrs. Clark A Biddle
assumed the business. Tney remained at the same
location until 1809, when they took possession of
their present noble building, no. 1124 Chesnut
street.
MR. JEREMIAH ROBBIKS,
who was for twenty-four years In the house of
Bailey A Co., came Into the Arm last year as an
aauuionai partner. r, w. a. wieaersueim, re

These gentlemen are all comparatively young men-
some oi tnem actually so ana possess the two
great qualities indispensable to successful business
men, viz., intelligent enterprise ana unuorm cour

Snperb and costly wares, comprising articles of
vei tu, silverware of exquisite designs, gold and silver
watcnes, goia cuains, lockets, oraceiets, necklets,
ornamental fans, clocks, bronzes, diamonds and
other precious stones, and every description of
bijouterie glisten from the walls on either side and
reflect a dazzling brilliancy from within bean' If ul
plate-glass cases.
Messrs. Rabbins, Clark A Biddle present extraor
dinary Inducements to purchasers of
BRIDAL PRESENTS.
Nothing Is more beautiful and appropriate as a
present either to the bride who Is about to begin
housekeeping, or to the matron on the anniversary
of her wedding-day, than a complete set of table
silver, especially If It be of durable quality. Such a
present may be as elegant and ornamental as any
other could possibly be, and at the same time Is addi
tionally valuable for Its usefulness. Throughout a
whole lifetime It may adorn the table of the re
cipient, recalling every day the friendship and gene
rosity of the donor, and keeping constantly warm
the sentiment of love and gratitude. We therefore
counsel foud parents who are hesitating what to
give their wedded daughters, and all other persons
who contemplate making a really excellent present,
to visit their store and select a set of silverware, i
Their stock of sterling silverware is one of the
finest In this country. The tea services, table silver,
fancy pieces, etc., of the newest and most artlstlo
patterns and elaborate workmanship, and in endless
variety, load their shelves and counters. Mono
grams and special designs are furnished when de
sired. They are now agents for the
CELEBRATED CiORIIAM PLATE,
Having completed arrangements with the Oorliam
Manuiacturlng Company, of Providence, Rhode
Island, the most extensive manufacturers of ster
ling silver In America. All the newest designs of
that Company are received and exhibited as soon as
produced.
They are also special agents for the
E. HOWARD &, CO., BOSTON, M ATCH,
And keep constantly on hand Waltham Watches, of
all grades and slits, as well as chronometers, chro
nographs, rpeaters, steiu-winaers, and every form
of elegant timekeepers. In the back part of their
storeroom may be seen a tine assortment of Vienna
travelling-bags, valises, satchels, hand-bags, etc.,
all of the best material and of elegant design. In
the extreme end of the room we saw a splendid col
lection of
PARIS CLOCKS AND BRONZES,
Presenting a most attractive variety jf beautlful'and
tasteful styles.
The young married couple who should not be able
to select In this establishment a complete supply of
silver vases, clocks, bronzes, and ornaments gene
rally, could not suit themselves even in Purls or
Vlenua. The most fastidious taste can here be satis
fied, and, what la all-Important, the prices are such
as tempt even the most economical, and persons of
even vtry moderate means.
Messrs. R., C. & B. have arrangements with
leaning
FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS
In Sheffield, London, Paris, Vienna, Locie, etc., by
which they obtain promptly the latest designs in
every kind of fancy goods, and at the Brst cost, tbua
saving to retail purchasers the profits usually made
by Importers and wholesale dealt rs.
The establishment of Messrs. Robbins, Clark A
