SDITOBIAL OriNIONS OF THB LEADING JOUBNA.LS UPON CCBRENT TOPICS COMPILED EVEBI DAT FOB THU EVENING TELEOBAPH. MATRIMONIAL DESIGNS. From the Cincinnati Times. ' Not even the delicate skill with which Shelley, "sweet-voiced bird of song," built tip his sensuous fabrio of "affinity" could tender it acceptable to civilized humanity; and though the world has moved, they are still less likely to take up with the coarser dish that the free-lovers of to-day would set before them. Still, coupled with that pecu niary independence whioh Anthony believes to be the basis of feminine virtue, the thing has a certain merit, in that it would eliminate from our social system a great and grow ing evil one that is becoming a barrier to pleasurable relations between the sexes, driv ing the one to the hot house development of solitude and Ouida, and the other to beer house and club. Until a young man reaches the ftdvanoed age of sixteen, we believe it is still permitted him to wander among feminine pastures, in baling fragrance and beauty,, without danger of being asked bis "intentions." But when once that mystio period is passed, he very quickly disoovers that he is either game or not game in the first case to be trapped; in the other, expelled from the presence. And in this we mean no censure upon the femi nine persuasion. So long as tho chief end of woman's existence is to be comfortably mar tied to a sufficient income, so long mast every action tend to its consummation, and every hindrance be repugnant. However inevitable a consequence, it is none the less disagreeable to tb.it large class of mankind who are either unwilling or una ble to marry, but who are yet civilized enough to admire feminine society, and to be sur feited with a constant diet of street and bar. Bash the mortal who heroically resolves to war against custom. lie enters the modern drawing-room, and, if ineligible, id withered by the excruciating coolness of mamma; if a good jxzrti, he is immediately suspected of matrimonial intentions, and his actions gauged with the nicety of a graduated scale. We knew a man in the far West who had acquired a continental fame for his success at poker. His system was simple: a pair of king was worth so much; two pairs, so much more; and so on to a complement of aces; and from this valuation be never varied. So with the system of an American matron a smile, "he admires;" a dance, "he esteems;" and so on by rale, till some tender indiscretion results in a big brother's demanding a "sight," and yon lay down the cards with the sorrowful knowledge that though you have lost the game you must take the stakes. This thing in America is all the more un acceptable from its incongruity. In England, and still more in Germany, where marriagea ble girls are constantly chaperoned, it is to be expected; and we marvel not at the Ame rican student at Heidelberg whose fraulein asked him at the second call w,hen he was going to "see father." But our young wo men are bred to take care of themselves, and may be left to themselves in the matter of permitting attention that is not "serious." At all events, we demand a reciprocity treaty that shall establish how far we may go and how far not. The thing is getting dan gerous, and if two dances and a tender look. or one sigh and a backward glance, necessi tate a marriace or a lawsuit, we want to know it. Can there not be some arrange ment say by the wearing of a label, "No Matrimonial Designs" by which we may be permitted a little respectful attention, a little of the light from laughing eyes and winsome lips, a little of that softer, gentler fellowship whioh smoothes the angles of the world, and that without the disagreeable necessity of taking anybody for better or for worse till death do us part? WILL THE TREATY BE RATIFIED? From the N. Y. Timet, So far as present appearances are an evi dence, there are but two important sources of opposition to the recent Washington treatv: the extreme Canadian party, ana a email party in Great Britain, apparently led bv the old Whigs. The opposition in this country is apparently very Blight. Mr. Sum ner objects to certain defects in the treaty, , but is understood to aocept it as a whole. ' Various f mall Democratic politicians will ' attack it, because it is to be ratified under a Republican administration. Another rabid faction will oppose it, because they want no union or agreement with England, of any sort whatever. These, however, are all un important forces in opposition. Tue solid good sense of the country, the Christian feel. Id a of the best men in all parties, and the sentiment of the great majority of the Re publican party, will support and approve it Tney approve it, because in itself it is an advance in the method of settling quarrels between nations; because arbitration is in fact the application of right reason and Chistianity to the differences between oppos ing peoples; and if the world is ever to pro gross beyond the heathen mode of arbitra ments, by battle, it must do so by some such method. .Moreover, tne treaty is singularly favorable to American interests and regard ful of American feelings. The expression of regret is all that could be expected from the Government of a great nation, who now feel that they were in tire wrong. More important still is the reoognl tion of those principles or rules in interna tional law which the United States have maintained since their independence, and which Great Britain has always opposed Ihe administration of ureal Britain now admits that these wise rules in regard to neutrality and its observance are the sound and practical ones, and they are willing to amrm. that henceforth they shall be interna tional law, though not admitting that they were bo when the oases of grievance arose, The damages from the Rebel cruisers are to be determined in the wisest manner, and on the very principles which we approve. The only doubtful features of the treaty to a por tion of our people are those relating to the fisheries. But as both parties object to these Stipulations, mere win 86em to impartial ob servers a probability that they are fair and reasonable. At the worst, u tne rriaoea refuse to . ... j . ai . . ratify this portion 01 me aty, is will not movent the more important articles from being approved and ratified by both govern ments, ana becoming me i uuumiou of a lon era of amity and good feeling between the two countries. It is aevouny to e nop that "His Imperial Majesty of Uerwauy wju manage to understand the points in reri to San J aan. and the division of the channel better than most Americans and English do, who, " as a general thing, are ignorant even where it is. When his decision is made the last of the unsolved questions between the two governments will be answered, and sothiag will remain but the ques tions about 'bait" and "fishing rights," and the legal distance for pisoatory privileges on the coast of British America, which can cer tainly be arranged without serious difficulty. The opposition to the treaty in England will not count for much. It has been called a "Tory" opposition, though without very obvious reason, seeing that the Tories have thus far taken no important part in the affair. The last Tory Minister tried hud to settle the dispute, and Mr. Disraeli is cer tainly in favor of doing so as speedily as pos sible. Earl Russell is the leader of the op position, and nobody can call him a Tory. He may advocate the harsh principles of international law whioh prevailed in the last century; but the solid sense of the Brit ish people will recognize that "the rules" laid down by the treaty are just and reason- ablo, and ought to be law if they have not been. They know well that Earl Russell's course during our civil war was not a model which they would desire other nations to imitate, if they themselves should be in volved in war. They Rfe that it is to the advantage of Great Britain to have the Ala bama claims settled, and no such open ques tions, lull of bitterness and danger, left for the future. Many will beein to appreciate. in the threatening aspect of the continent, how immensely important it is for England to have a friend and an ally in the stormy years to come. Despite the opposition of the old Whigs, therefore, we look to see the treaty mined by the British Parliament, as we have no doubt it will be by the Senate. The marquis of Salisbury, a lory, seems half inclined to join Earl Russell in unfavor able criticism, but his influence was never very great wnn liis own party, ana it is now rather smaller than ever. MORE RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION. From the If. Y. World. The New Jersey Central Railroad Company is believed to have fallen under the ban of the displeasure of the Pennsylvania Railroad magnates by combining with the Lehigh and busquenanna Kailroad to break the dead-lock of coal transportation, and bring the Wilkes barre Coal and Iron Company's coal to market, thereby compelling the Schuj lkill and Scran- ton companies to resume before they had fully starved the miners' association into sub mission. It is reported that the Lehigh and Susquehanna and the Jersey Central compa nies are both to receive the punishment which their wicked conduct merits the former by being deprived of its outlet to this city, tne latter by being absorbed into the ding ltailroad. Wall street has it that the Jersey road has been leased by the Lehigh Valley road, under a guarantee from the Reading Company; and, if true, the next step win, ot course, be tnat me .benign and Sus quehanna Company will build an independent line to JNew lorU, making one more competi tor for a business which even now is insuffi cient for those engaged in it. JNew xom city is, of course, largely inter ested in all these railroad combinations, since they all originate in a struggle for the honor of supplying us with coal. But a larce Dart of Ne w York has a most particular interest in this last-reported scheme. For several years past the New Jersey Central has been the one local road leading out of New York city that New Yorkers could point to with pride a3 a model road, conducted upon the principle that the safety, convenience, and comfort of its passengers were the best , guarantee of its own financial success. Under admirable management it has built up village after vil lage along its line, until from the Jersey shore-line up to Somerville extends one vast and beautiful suburb of our orer-orowded city. It will be a sorrowful day for the resi dents of Elizabeth, Flainfield, Scotch Plains, and other lovely Jersey villages when the Central road passes under the control of the Reading or Lehigh Valley companies. It will be worse than when the Morris and Essex became a mere tributary to the coal trains of tbe Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western, for the Morris and Essex management never was good. Yet the change drove many people away from Orange and Morristown. What will be the fate of Elizabeth and Flainfield when Colonel Gowen, President of the Phila delphia and Reading Railroad, dictates its time-table ( The report is that the lease will guarantee 7 per cent, per annum on a capital stock watered to the extent of 33 per cent., which makes a very good thing to the owners of the Jersey Central fctook, especially if they have great confidence in the solvency of that worst watered of all watered concerns, the Reading Railroad. But it can scarcely be satisfactory to the public which uses the New Jersey Cen i . i - v I - 1 ti Ai. i i the lease is to drive the Lehigh and Susque hanna traffic off tbe road, and thereby largely dimmish its income from that source, the general publio will in some way be taxed to make up tbe deficiency; and slnco the eamiDgs of the roads must not only be pre. vented from declining, but mast be largely increased so as to pay the additional dividend on the water put into the stock, the prospect is that the residents along the road will have to undergo a system of extortion and oppres sion of which their friends on the Morris and Essex road can give them an excellent illus tration. This whole business of railroad consolidation is based upon the monopolist idea of extorting from the publio whatever it can be made to pay, by depriving it of all the protection which competition ordinarily af fords. The publio endurance has already nearly reached its limit, but the appetite of the conbolidators appears to be on the in crease. What next? SHALL WE SAIL OR DRIFT INTO THE FIGHT ? From the .V. Y. Tribune. We believe the next Presidential campaign will be the hottest within the memory of this generation. At the last, with the enormous odds of a popular soldier as our candidate in the first election after tne war he had tri umpbantly closed, our contest was so close that the change of a few thousand votes in three States in the October elections would have turned the soale against us. Such as the victory was, our opponents may claim that tbey won it for us themselves. The Democrats elected the Republican ticket, in Tammpny Hall, in July, 1808. If Mr. Cle. ment L. Vallandigham did not perform the work when he forced uoratio Seymour upon the astounded New York delegation, General Wade Hampton fairly finished it when he se cured a place on the ticket for the author of the Broadhead letter. Mr. Vallandigham' late resolutions, and their indorsement by the Democracv of the leading city in bis State. are a notice that they don't intend to repeat the performance. . From another quarter John Quincy Adams takes up the word with bis treble note and swells the new Demo cratic cry for "the Constitution as it is." For that, if the incongruous elements of tbe new movement can have their way, is to be the watchword of the Demooraoy in 1872. What Mr. Vallandigham means now is what Alexander Lone meant and the Wvrlrf shame facedly struggled for in 18C8 to put the war ana an its fatal memories behind him, to ao cept its results, to bow to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Oonstitntion,not as articles originally to his liking, bnt ai in tegral parts now of the fundamental law of tbe land, and therefore entitled to his un questioning support. Mr. Vallandigham does not in ten cU again to insure in advance the adverse decision of the people who put down the Rebellion and hold in perpetual detesta tion its allies ana supporters. lie will avoia arousing alarm for the safety of what we fought for; will go as far as the Grand Army of the ltepubiio or Mr. Wendell Phillips in maintaining the right of the late slave to his ballot, and affirming the perpetuity of the indivisible Republic It is not, indeed, clear that the Democracy con be brought to this patriotic platform, or that if it is the people will care to aooept its too late repentant authors in aay other way than on probation. The Cincinnati Enquirer, the great organ of Mr. allandigham s own State, regards him askance, and the St. Louis JicmiULican, the organ of the farther West, openly flouts him. Give the Democracy a few local triumphs between now and their nominating convention, and they may lose their heads as completely as they did after tbe Oregon election in 1808, and fall into the bands of the Reactionists once more as com pletely as they did three years ago in Tam many nail. On the very heels of the Tax payers convention the other day, at uoium- bia, came the Ku-klux outburst and attempted murder at Newberry. All the fine efforts of Vallandigham and Adams may lead to an ex actly similar end. But we cannot count on it; and we tell our Republican friends, wrangling over the pub lication of a treaty at Washington, or divid ing the spoils of office in New York, or frit tering .away their influence elsewhere in needless contests and relentless personal feuds, that the new movement means danger. lo repeat our warning: Ihe next Presiden tial campaign is to be the hottest of a gene ration, ltuncorous wrangles and inexcusable tyranny in the Senate; a crusade against the press of the whole country, aroused with absolute unanimity in defense of what it thicks its right; persecution of prominent Re publicans because they favor this man for Senator, or do not favor that man for the suc cession to the Presidency; warfare upon the Republican administration in the hope of killing off a Republican candidate; inter ference in local politics in the hope of build ing up one are alike unwise means of pre paring for the contest. Whoso taketh the sworu shall perish by the sword. The men who begin and force upon their associates puch struggles may not suoceed in digging the grave of the Republican party, but they will not tail to dig their own. BIGOTED BUSYBODIES. From the N. Y. World. In what respects the Presbyterians of America need reforming we know not, nor yet by what commission from earth or heaven a body calling itself the "Presbyterian Re formed Synod, now in session at Philadel phia, assumes to reform the Presbyterians atoresaid. But this we know, that until the 'Presbyterian Reformed Synod" shall have suoceeded ia reforming itself in the three trihing particulars of Christian charity, com mon sense, and ordinary historical knowl edge, it will do well to leave Presbyterians in general to the care of Providence. l or this synod has just seen ht to favor the public, most unprovokedly, with its view upon the present state of affairs, not in the Presbyterian Church nor yet in America, but in Paris and in Franca. And the aucu of tnrte "views" briefly is that "the present condition of France in general as desolate i by storms of war, and of the city of Paris ia particular as now drenched by the blood of her own citizens, is a righteous retribution for the martyrdoms of Saint Bartholomew's day, and the tangible fulfilment to the Church of the divine promise 'that.no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper. This conclusion the synod reaches on the very day when the news comes to us that the Commune of Paris has been defeated by the troops of Versailles. Now, the Commune of Peris has certainly "formed a weapon against tne (jhurob, ana that weapon certainly has not prospered; so that in this respect the scripture citea Dy the synoa may be held to have been "tangibly fulfilled." But the Church against whioh tbe Commune formed its weapon was by no means the Presbyterian Church, reformed or unreforuiad. It was the Catholic Roman Church. The pastors of that Church have been cast into prison and threat ened with death, among them men like the ve nerable Deguerry, cure of the Madeleine, of whom all decently educated Presbyterians ought to remember that twenty years ago and more, on the 24th of August, 18 ID, he pub- licJy embraced the famous Reformed clergy. man of Paris, M. Athanase Coquexel, on the platform of the Congres de la Paix, as a sign and token that the cruel memories of the St. Bartholomew were and ought to be forever pni aside from among Christian men. The Archbishop of the Roman Church in Paris has been plundered and abused by the Com mune. Its religious edifices have been sacked and desecrated. If the Scripture of tbe synod has been fulfilled in behalf of any Church. then it is claerly in behalf of the Catholic Korean Church. But this hardly tallies with the synod's no tions of a "righteous retribution for the martyrdomB of the St. Bartholomew, which are commonly understood to have been per petrated, not by enemies of the Catholic Church, but by persons who claimed to be acting in its behalf, and covered with the cloak of the faith their own personal hatreds and political plottings. From the point of view of the synod the weapon formed by the Commune was a very sword of the Lord and of Gideon; and if it were possible for such people to be logioal, they ought to pass a resolution of censure upon Providence for failing to muke this weapon prosper, even to the hanging of Archbishop Darboy. If the synod, in a large, loose, radical way, means only t lump all Parisians of the nineteenth century together in expiation of the crimes of an Italian Uaeen of France who happened to inhabit Paris in the sixteenth century, it still must be ad mitted to be hard measure for the Commune that the earnest desire of its leaders to murder an archbishop should not exonerate them in the eyes of the "Presbyterian Reformed Synod" from being tarred with the archiepis conal stall'. If the world were governed as the Presby terian Reformed Synod would have it be, the chastisement of modern Paris by an atheistic Uommune in 1871 in atonement for the mas sacre of the Huguenots in 1572 ought to be followed up by a Chartist insurrection in London and the execution of Mr. Gladstone to atone for the massacre of Glenooe in Scot land and for the protracted martyrdom en dured by Catholio Ireland at the hands of Elizabeth and of Cromwell. Between the horrors of the St. Bartholomew and the abominations of the present civil war in Paris one wonld Bay, looking at matters from a purely human and humane point of view, that blood enough has been shed in the ' i rench capital in one way ana another to sat isfy the most exacting of raisanthrooio accountants with a God of retaliations. Even if the Presbyterian Reformed Synod has direot apocalyptic authority lor regarding me otiense of hating God as identical with the misfor tune of being hated by it, it should be re membered that the Catbolio Roman Church, which labors under that misfortune, has passed through the Red Sea of the revolution of 1792. If the age of faith had its awful rubric of August, the age ot reason had its rubric not less awful of Soa! ember. One would say that the Presbyterian Reformed Synod will only forgive Providence for sooring the one on condition that Providenoe will agree indefinitely to repeat the other. it is not pleasant to be toroea to spean bo harshly of any convocation of men which even professes to be organized in the name of religion. But when such a convocation deviates into secular questions in search of notoriety, and assumes to drag Divine Provi dence into the service of sectarian spite and stupidity, its practices dispense us from even pretending to respect its professions, and its members merit that they be promptly bidden hold their peace for a parcel of bigoted busy bodies.
