2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPIT-PIIlRaiiDELrillA, "WEDNESDAY, . JUNE 14;, 1871. sriniT OF ins MESS. EDITOBIAI. OrmONS Or THB IiEADIHG JOUBNALS UPOS CUEREHT TOPICS- OOMPILKD EVEBT DAT FOB THE EVENING TELEOBAPH, H. G. AND TIIE BLOCKHEADS. , From the A. T. World. We needed not Mr. Greeley's speech la Union Square last night to satisfy ua that he had returned to New York. Any one who opened Monday's Tribune could see "with had put his foot in it. "The World lies as half an eye" that II. G, Quoth the Tribune, usual." A hard saying thin from any one but II. G. From II. G. it only means that he is disgusted to find the World catching him on the flank. Which, indeed, the World has done. For whereas the lribune,'fot what reason we know not, now seeks to make it Appear that H. G., in speaking of the Union Leaguers as "narrow-minded blockheads," meant only a committee of the Union Leaguers, the truth, as the Tribune itself shows, is quite other wise. It was on the 12th of May, 18G7, that Horace Greeley, first in the list, signed the bail-bond of Jefferson Davis. On Thursday, the 23d of May, 18G7, Horace Greeley, having been summoned "by an official note from the president of the Union League to attend a special meeting of the club," called for that night to consider his crime, published in the Tribune over his own initials a reply to that summons. In that reply he says, "I shall not attend your meeting this evening," the said meeting being a meeting not of the commit tee which had moved that a meeting be called, but of the club, called by its president. "I do not recognize you," he continues, "as capable of judging or even of fully appre : bending me. You evidently regard me as a ' weak sentimentalist, misled by a maudlin philosophy. I arraign you as narrow-minded blockheads." This language, as the oontezt shows, was addressed and could have been addressed only to the club. ' It was the club by its president which had summoned H. G. to appear before it. It was before the club that II. G. refused to appear. Nor was his refusal a hasty, impulse. It was the deliberate result of a long brewing quarrel between H. G. and the League. This his own language in the letter we refer to' clearly proves. "Chancing," he says, "to enter your club-house on Saturday evening, the next after the assassination of President Linooln, I received a fell broadside of your scowls. I Wag soon made to comprehend that I had no sympathizers, or ' none who dare seem such, in your crowded assemblage." Can the force of language be plainer? But II. G. goes on: "Some maladroit admirer of mine having a few days afterwards made the club a present of my portrait, its bare reception was re ' sisted in a speeohfrom the chair by your then , president." , i ; Who can wonder that H. G. should speak heads" which refused even to receive as a present a portrait of himself, without being compelled, like the subscribers of the Trib une, to take the Tribune with the portrait? But who can repress his wonder at finding H. G. now attempt to placate the block' ' heads whom he then defied? He actu ally stoops so low as to pretend that they did not sustain the indiotment whioh they had brought against him, when in truth . the record shows that after a long and stormy -debate the club adopted a resolution de nounoing the bailing of Jefferson Davis, and ' declaring that "a decent regard for the pa- triotism of the people, for the sacrifices of the war, and for the saoredness of justice required that he should be detained in prison until tried for his crimes." This resolution was enforced as the condition of acoepting the proposition put forward by a lawyer, Mr, ! , D. B. Eaton, that "the club had no legitimate ' 1 perpetrating this outrage upon patriotism," ' the "sacrifices of the war," and the "flacred- maoi itl inflflrtA ' In other words, the Union League deoided that it would have expelle 1 Horaoe Greeley had it been leeallv entitled so to do. And this decision, we submit, fully justified H d. in pronouncing the club whioh made it to be a collection of "narrow-minded block heads." T -A. - JjCI US UttYO yeuue THE TllADE OF LITERATURE. From U S. F. Tribune, Somebody ought to write a hand-book of literature. We are apt to fancy that author ship in the golden age used to be a matter of divine afflatus more or less. If a man wrote 1 a book then it was, we think, wrenohed out of him by the immortal longings which he felt or fancied he felt. Penny-a-liners, if the creatures existed in that time, are swept into nothingness with the gad-flies that flattered -out their poisonous summer day a hundred j ears ago. Now everybody is a penny-a-liner, from the great divine who sells his last Sun day's sermon to his sectarian magazine at $10 per page, to Madame B. clearing the expenses of her fortnight at Cape May by her descrip tion of her own and her friends' dresses lor the Flunkey's Journal at $5 per column. In old times, when a woman wrote a book, how ever meagre, men, with great aoolaim, crowned her Sappho on the spot, and all other women ai promptly turned their backs cn her as a social Pariah. ' Now literature is the money-making trade to which all young girls just out of sohool, and needy widows, first turn. The popular idea is that it is a genteel business which can be carried on at home and which requires no : preparatory culture, as would sewing or teach ing. Every magazine and newspaper editor is overwhelmed with applications for places on his corps of contributors: the peculiarity ' of which is that there is rarely any apparent conviction on the part of the applicants thit they have any word to speak or song to sing which must be uttered, or which will benefit the world when it comes. They need money. - There, to themselves, is the force of their appeal, made often with all the pathos of despair. Then, too, their ideas of the rewards of authorship are such veritable dreams of Alnaschar. A young girl of eighteen proposes herself as managing editor of a political newspaper; a Southern lady offers to sell her three-volume novel for ' "a sum sufficient to repurchase her lost plantations and restore her family to ea-te and affluence." In behalf of these hopeful hungry aspirants and hopeless struggling publisuer who sutl er their attacks, why should not some htnd-book or plain expose ot the business and scale of prices be set forth? Why should the editor wrap himself and LU business in a haze of mystery? sit in a nebulous glory at the gate of the desired eity? Would it not ease his soul and his loiter-box to tate plainly that the city wiiLin has neither goldea street nor gates of pearl? that its laws are tUoae dictated by the most downright oouiaioii Berue and expediency? and that greenbacks and not gloTy are $beir prevailing- motive power? There is Uw profession of whioh the public is so ignorant of the boniness details as that ef authorship, and perhaps this would be- proper if every pub lisher was a M.-roenas, and every author an aitiBt or a genius. The glittering veil suits Isis in her temple. Bat the fact Is, that in England and this country two-thirds of the reading public demand magazines, newspa pers, and books which pomess neither excep tional wit, fancy, nor knowlenge. The stories, the poems, the essays (as well as the sermons), which best suit this greedy, half taught public can be furnished to order byany decently-educated active adaptive, tnan or wo man; and such literary matter is well paid for. We see no reason, therefore,, why this host of needy wonld-be authors should not earn a livelihood in satisfying this incessant demand for evanescent matter, as long as their productions ate not immoral and are reasonably clean. In the higher clans of magazines and jour nals there will be found a certain individu ality belonging to each which, if the contri butor would study his chance of success, would be greater. The article whioh would not suit the atmosphere of a speculative. quiet Boston audience would be welcomed in New York for its subjective dramatio mode of setting forth truth, and vice versa. Bat the tyro, with his first MS. in hand, goes trembling to an editor's door, supposing it is the one portal ot tne temple of Fame, inside of which the Immortals wait, watohf ol and jealous, to admit or reject him from their company, if tne fateful yellow envelope oomes back to him, Fate, ho thinks, has pro nounced against him. His wisest plan would be to take it to another dealer, precisely as if it were a package of sugar or tobacco. If one does not want it another may. There is no conspiracy among suooessful authors against his early genius; the editor is quite as anxioas to obtain good matter as he is to furnish it. lhe half dozen leading magazines represent very fairly the phases of the best thought in tne country; and if there be anything worth buying in his addition to it, he will not fail in a sale. If he does, let him still hopefully begin to take a lower place. The inferior popular journals are probably his field. Our advice is intended for the trader rather than the true artist, perhaps, and smells of the shop more than ParnaBsus. But we think it suits the want and temper ot the time. YALE AS AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY. From the N. Y. Times. An article recently published by Professor Dana contains a rather Borry report of the re sources of one of our two leadmg universi ties. When the sum of $785,000 is impera tively demanded to meet the "urgent needs" of an institution like iale (Jollege, and when it is further, stated that at least $3,000,000 is necessary to "place all departments of the nniversity in a good condition" and further, that a deficit of five thousand dollars is antici pated for the current year people will be much inclined to question the right of any such impecunious college to the name even of a nniversity. A college staggering along under an effort to carry the weight of bo com prehensive a title is very much like an over freighted beast of burden. Better lighten the load. i . And yet, theoretically at least, Yale Col lege has a perfeot right to claim the title to which it aspires. , It has a weak school of law, a fair school of medicine, a good theo logical department, and an admirable sohool . of science. The gifts, donations, and be quests have been liberal and numerous. The citizens of New Haven alone, within twelve years, have contributed $!)00,000; two new dormitories have been reoently ereoted, eaoh costing about $100,000; other gifts during the past twelve years amount to $240,000 more, and besides these sums there has been over $300,000 given for special departments. And yet, as Professor Dana . has truly stated, "Yale College is poor, far beyond the know ledge of its friends;" and he adds that, unless its needs are met "by the corporation and those who can give help, Yale College cannot keep np to the mark." Briefly stated, the 'urgent needs" of Yale are: New professors and instructors, new buildings, and funds for beneficiary purposes and scholarships. Har vard is enabled to give annually to its needy students $21,000; Yale can only give $8000v And so, if a comparison be farther instituted, the ratio of inferiority is found to be about the same. It is true that there is a bright side to this poverty, sinoe it is a measure of the growth of Yale, its poverty is due to its prosperity, to "the inorease in the number of its students; the demands ot tne age as regards education; to a natural outgrowing or Its old clothes, and not a little, also, to the cost of produce in the market." The question is how to Buppiy mesa wants, and tliis question, with the other two of Alumni representation and the election of a new President, are likely to form subjects for discussion, and we hope also, of action, at the coming Commencement, There is no reason why Yale should not be enabled to maintain the position of a leading American university. At present it rails tar snort or the standard,-and in almost all respects ita rival,' Cambridge, towers head and shoulders above it. The latter' is more liberally en dowed, more energetio, more in harmony with the demands of the time; it enlists in its service the ablest minds it can obtain, admits to its governing board its younger sons, and thusm ingles the enterprise and ac tivity of youth with the experience and wis dom of older heads. The suooessful advance ment of Yale College rests largely with the alumni. On their shoulders falls the respon sibility of seeing that its needs are supplied. But to appeal to them successfully, it is re quisite that they should be made, in some way or ether, active members of the govern ing board. This much they have a right to ask. It is all very well to say, Give us your money and see how well we will spend it. It would be much more effective to Bay, Give us your money, and assist us with your a I vice as to how it may be best expended. Yale con stantly asks for "a nniversity fund," money for general use, and wonders that all gifts should be for special purposes or for a desig nated end. Yet this is but natural, for in the one case the donor has no voice in the dispo sition of his gift; in the other he knows ex actly to what purposes his money is devoted. Of course we do not consider that the ad mission of the alumni to representation in the corporation is the sole care for the ills complained of. It is only one of the reme dies needed. Muoh depends on the man chosen for the next President. Bat it looks very much as if the "alumni question" would be pressed to a settlement, one way or the other, bo far as the alumni can settle it, at the next meeting. It is easy to predict that on ita solution depend, in many respects, the position of Yle College as an American univfcrtiity. ICONOCLAS1I. Frttm the .ouJfn Saturday Jleview, - Tie first impression made on most readers of the Megrmu announcing the destruction of the Yeudowe column wUl have been thit expressed in Wsdnesday's Times, of regret that the Versaillod Government had not shown suf3cient promptitude in mastering Paris to anticipate this act of wanton vandalism. Many and bittor will be the reproaches levelled at the TLilistine brutality of Red Re publicanism, and' for a long time to com e English visitors will take up their parabl 9 about the curse of: mob rule, as they turn im angry disappointment from the vaoaut site ot what has been for the last sixty years one of the most conspicuous ornaments cf the French capital. V. are very far from saying that such reproaches will be unreasonable. The love of destruction for its own saLej and especially destruction of anything that may he considered a badge of superior authority, is a passion strongly developed in the manly bosoms of those who delight to call them selves "the People;" and we may well believe that the men of Paris gawd on the downfall of the column in the Place Ven dome with much the . same feeling of coarse satisfaction which inspired- "the men of London" as they witnessed or helped to effect the smashing of the ilyde Park rail ings. Only their satisfaction would be so far more intense, as the column was not only a symbol of sovereignty, but a very boautifal and costly work of art. We are not disposed to think very highly of the culture of the Commune, notwithstanding Mr. Bridges' favorable estimate of It as compared with the results of an Oxford education; and the indig nant censors of the iconoclastic tendencies of Republicanism might point their moral by reminding us that the Parisian democrats of to-day are but treading in the footsteps of their ancestors- in the first Revolution, who destroved tho statue of Louis XIV on the . very spot af terwarda selected by Napoleon I for the monument to commemorate his victories. Nov is the analogy merely one of outward form. Neither Louis XIV nor Napoleon was a model of exalted virtue, and history has a heavy indiot ment to bring against the principles and policy of their administration. But that they were two of the greatest rulers that ever swayed the destinies of France, and that they raised her to a height of material spendor no equalled at any other periods of her history, is beyond question. Their rule may not un fairly be characterized as an immoral des potism; but Frenchmen might be expeoted to treat with some decent respect the memory of despots- whose faults repre sented and flattered the national character, and who oontributfd so inuah to the realization of its ideal of national greatness. The sans culottes of the '8'.) Revolution, hke the Commune of to-day, were otherwise minded. No sense of historic continuity or icBthetio graoe could avail to Btay their hand in defacing the beautiful reooad of a mag nificent but monarchical past. They quite deserve all the hard words that are said of them. But it wonld be a mistake to regard iconoclasm as a mere incident of republican excess. It is one of those nataral instincts, partly good, partly, evil, whichi have played en important part in tho- history of the world. We spoke just now of the passion of de struction for its own sake among the unedu cated masses. Perhaps Mr. Darwin would tell ns that it is a relio of that earlier stage of development when we were gradually fighting onr way to full humanity by the prooess of natural selection, and withi the aid of those destructive organs which have gradually dis appeared since the struggle tor existence ceased. At all events it i a fact. The plea sure felt by a baby in smashing a toy is very much akin to the pleasure felt by a boor in smashing a work of art. Probably in both, cases it consists parti; in a rudo sense o? power, or "consciousness of the,, ego,' which finds its intellectual expression in the man fuhlt sich of the German student who is breaking loose from the trammels of hereditary belief. It is the same sort of feeling that leads a sava to value himself on the number of men he has killed in battle. . To ' make is of course a much Higher test on power man to nnmake, but it is also muoh more diff.ru.lt, and children and engages naturally catch, at that exercise of independent action whioh comes readiest to their hand. And men who have little or no edueation remain in, many respects grown-up children all their lively This goes far. to account for the often quite purposeless mischief of a aiob who are set free for the time from all restraints.of ess torn or police. There is a story in the life of John Wesley of a lawless rabble who sur rounded the house where he was- staying, somewhere in the North of England, and spent half the night in carrying him about fiom one place to asother, with occasional threats of ducking or more serious outrage, and then took him home again. Yet they had so particular spite against him, and cheered lustily when he addressed them. It was simply a stupid and brutal frolic-, which the local magistrates were too orthodox or too inert to interfere with. The midnight revel lers who destroyed the Hermes busts at Athens were probably of a very different class, but probably also they were drunk; and the characteristic "insolence" of Aloibiades mad him act more like an overgrown school boy than a man of genius, and high culture. Bat his iconoclasm was not the mere instinct of mis chief, Btill less the boorish pleasure in da facing what one cannot appreciate. The Hermes busts, like most popular idols, are said ta have been exoeedingly ugly, but they were the object of profound if not very in telligent veneration, and to deface them was to inflict one of the keenest possible insults on the national religion. It gratified the sense of power, not so much by an act of wanton destruction as because it waa an out rage on publio decenoy, whioh, if suffered to go unpunished, would show that the perpetra tors could hold themselves superior to the laws by which the rest of their countrymen were bound. And thus it was a more refined, but not one" whit a nobler, form of ioono clasm than the vulgar pleasure of a Parisian mob in pulling down imperial statues, or of a Protestant mob at the Reformation in tossing elaborate missals and vestments into a bon fire, and dancing to the iuusio of an ecclesi astical chant round the burning pile. It must not, however, be supposed thit the iconoclastic instinct is never anything more than the aimless passion for destroying with a consciousness more or less realized of the exercise of power in the act. In coarser natures sueh a sentiment is almost sure to be present, even when it does not predomi nate. The reformer who breaks with axes and hammers the carved work whioh his an cestors had reverently labored at is apt to be quite as much influenced by love of misobief as by hatred of idolatry; bat the latter motive has dominated some of the strongest, if not the largest, minds among those which have shaped the course of history. Iconoclasm, when it rises above mere wanton destrnctive ness, expresses abhorrence either for the thing destroyed or for the ideas it is sup posed or intended to convey. The distinc tion is necessary to be borue in mind. 1 The column in the Place Yendorue was designed to coumetuorata Napoleon's German victo ries? but the more rational events- m the piece of vandalism perpetrated there- last Tatsdav meant to signalize their hatred,-not of French victory, but of imperialism. So, agin, the Puritan zealots who smashed crucifixes and images of the saints did not, we must presume-, wish to assail the saored -personages re presented at all events as rogcrds the cru cifix but what they considered an objection able method of honoring them. . But icono clasm implies feelings and tends to produce results very much beyond what the iconoclasts themselves are think ing of. This may be illustrated by two comments which have been made, from very opposite points of view, on tho great iconoclastic controversy of the eighth and ninth centuries, whioh ended ' in the use of images as distinct from pictures we need not trouble ourselves here with the point of this somewhat fanciful contrast being pro scribed in the Eastern Churob, and aathori t ativelv sanctioned in the West. The bitter- s ess of feeling which it evoked may be judged from the opprobrious sobriquet of Copronymus bestowed on the Greek Emperor Wiho had made himself most notorious as a lender of the iconoclast party. Yet why shinld the question between images and "icons," as the Greeks called their pictures, so violently embitter those who had no disagreement in their belief about whtit their symbol represented?- It was hint ed at the time, and has often been said since, by Latin writers, that the doctrine of the Incurs at ion was at stake, and that the dislike to images of Christ was prompted by a repnlnion of the subtle Greek intellect from the anthropomorphic side of Christianity. There improbably some force in the criticism, but the Easterns certainly had no consoioas intention of disparaging the Incarnation, and the first decree against images -was imme diately prompted by the reproaches of the Ma hometans against the idolatry of the Christian Churoh. On the other hand, modern writers bavespeken, not without reason, of .the Greek Church rejecting in her prohibition of images the influences of Christian art and civiliza tion, and. have contrasted her oondnct with that of Rome-in asceptiag the Renaissance. It is certainly true that the close of the icono clastic - controversy marks the period of the decadenoe of all religious and intellectual en. ergy in the- East.. We need not adopt Mr. Fronde's- extreme, no!) to say extravagant, view that the Eastern Christiana stood on an immeasurably, lower level .than - their Ma hometan assailants, Irat there can be do doubt that Eastern Christianity, for the last thousand yests, hoa. presented very much the appearance of a. sterile petrif notion of its former self. Yet- it would be absnrd to- suppose that the iconoclastic Emperors and i3ynodv. of tho eighth century had any conscious intontioa of repudiating art, and the. civilizing , ialluenoes which it indicates or effects. Bat the icono clastic, insiinet, though it has ita nobler side, and hes-not nnfreqneatly beca .the vehicle of righteous indignation against falsehood and oppression, is in itself essentially narrow and debasing It belongs to the lower, cot the higher,, part of our natura, and inclines us directly not so much to reject tha evit as to refuse to recognize what is zood. The religions narrowness of iconoolasm, was illustrated at the Raformation in the reckless demolition of all outward adjuncts- of devo tion, because soire-of thorn., had; Ibeen per verted to idle or superstitious uses. Its poli tical narrowness 1a not the exclusive badge of any one party, .though for reasons already referred to, it has a natural alSnity with the violence of domestio agitators. Napoleon I, whose statue ha3 just fallen la Paris, dis played an almost, puerile littleness in his anxiety to effaoa ever? visible memorial of the ancient monarchy of Franco. The statue of Louis XIV had indeed fallen already, bat bis stringent orders to obliterate the Jleura delis, wherever, found, were hardly less ab surd than the. attempt to expunge from French literature all mention of the former state of. thiags, as though he really thought it wonld be possible to make Frenchmen forget that they had any history before the 18 Brumaire. This is no- doubt an extreme, but it is also a highly. characteristic, instance o the genuine spirit of iconoclasm. As there can be no image worship without images," so there can be no iconoclast without images to break. It is essentially a protest against what has hitherto been held in honor, an I Its radical vice is the resolve to break, with the past, because in the past there have been errors and abuses, as thougb forsooth the present or the future were at all more likely to be free from them No doubt there are some idols which deserve to bo utterly abolished, but it is not often that the outward symbol even of a rejected creed or a justly dispossessed sovereignty has no historio or artistio interest whioh gives it a claim to live. The most ardent Christian would hardly think it a discredit to the Popes that they have done their best to preserve the relics of Pagan and Imperial Rome, although the Paganism was a coarse and heartless superstition, and the Empire a gigantio system of tyranny and corruption. To make a clean sweep of the past is an un hopeful augury for the future. The life of nations, as of individuals, is made np of their accumulated experiences, and France can as little divest herself of the traditions of the monarchy or of the Empire as England can ig nore the elements of national life whioh the Stnart reigns or the Commonwealth have be. qneathed to her. We should have more fiith in the stability of sou.e future Government in Franoe if she had shown less eagerness in effacing all traces of those which are passed away. 6PEOIAW NOTtOES.
