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. MEDIOAUi
