From the N. Y. Timte.
The action of the Ohio Republicans was
looked forward to with interest, not nnmin
gled with anxiety, by the best of the party
throughout the country. It was felt that the
present occasion was a preliminary test of the
capacity of the party to move steadily for
ward without breaking line, keeping in its
tanks both the deliberate and the impetuous.
Judging by the synopsis of the resolutions
which has reached us, and by the light thrown
on the action of the convention by the ante
cedents and associations of General Noyes,
and by the speech of Senator Sherman, the
country will be justified in believing that the
Republicans of Ohio fairly represent the Re
publicans of the nation, and that no real
seed, no live issue has been treated by them
with neglect or evasion.
In speaking with pride of the past of the
party, identified with the. highest triumphs
and severest trials of our country, the Ohio
platform but expresses the just and solid
confidence for which the past affords ample
warrant. It is true that mere gratitude is
cot sufficient capital for a party to make new
ventures with. Rut it is equally true that
promises for the future are judged by per
formances in the past, and that as long as a
party maintains a snbstantial unity it is in
evitably and rightly judged by the nature
and extent of its actual achievements.
Laurels win no new victories, but the army
that has its banners wreathed with them has
fewer desertions and more recruits than one
whose record is, like that of the Democracy,
stained with cowardice and treason. In turn
ing its attention to the present and future,
the Republican party has a right to challenge
the closest scrutiny of its previous career.
But the Republicans of Ohio do not con
tent themselves with retrospect. They un
dertake conscientiously and clearly to meet
the demands which steadily-developing pub
lic opinion makes upon them. They em
phatically dissent from that view which would
make the party the instrument of extreme
protection to special industries and limited
sections of the country. .They yield grace
fully but decidedly to the conviction which
has been gaining ground for these past foar
or five years, that the duties on imports have
been, and, even after considerable modifica
tions, still are unequal in their operation.
They pledge the party to the service of
making them bear evenly upon all industries,
and upon every section of the Common
wealth. The Ohio platform also meets the other
pressing requisition of enlightened publio
opinion, that the civil servioe shall be re
formed, and, in approving heartily the prac
tical measures adopted by the President,
shows the sense of the party in the West
that the work shall be done with all possible
thoroughness and dispatch. It is well to re
member that the purification and reorgani
zation of the civil service is a comparatively
recent demand. It his grown up wholly
since the war, and in a time when the most
engrossing questions resulting from the war,
and involving the peace, order, and prosper
ity of the country, were pressing upon the
publio mind with overwhelming urgenoy.
It belongs, moreover to a class of questions
with which the American people are some
what unfamiliar, and to which they have
given but little study and enjoyed "praoti
cally very little experience. Rearing these
things in mind, the temper of the Republican
party towards the reform must be accepted
as highly salutary and promising. If it is not
all that the most ardent and best informed
students , of this question would desire, it is
quite as assuring as, all things considered,
could have been expected. We need not say
that deliberate expression from a Republi
can convention, in connection with the prac
tical step taken by a Republican Congress and
President, is worth a thousand of the most
explioit vows of the Democracy. Civil service
reform in the mouths of the party that in
cludes Tammany and which Tammany con
trols, is a bitter jest. .
If the platform of the Ohio Republicans is
less advanced than the opinion of some por
tions of the Last on tne question of amnesty
in the South, the Southern leaders have
themselves to thank for it. . It is Jefferson
Davis and Toombs and Stephens that have
checked the growth of popular sentiment in
favor of amnesty, and it is not to be denied
that since the incontinent display of rebel
lious feeling on the part of these men, and
the reception it has met at tne bouth, the
Ohio Convention would have ceased to be
representative had it made any unqualified
demand for sucn a measure.
These points, and many others, were ably
treated by Senator Sherman in his speech on
the evening of the convention. Witn ad oil
rable clearness and energy he exposed the
flimsy pretensions of the Democracy, and
pointed out the epeciho claims of the lvepubii
can party to be trusted with the execution of
any reforms desired by the people. lie showed
tnat long servioe baa not made turn dull to
the changes of Dublio sentiment, and that he.
and the body of which he is one of the vete
ran members, are prepared to , advanoe
steadily and practically to the realization of
any well-defined popular purposes. His frank
though moderate adhesion ta the advanced
positions of the convention is one more of '
the many signs that tne Republican party is
to continue to be, as it has long been, the
representative and therefore the governing
party of the nation. It is only necessary to
add that in most essential respects the posi
tion of tne Iowa Republicans, whose viotory
is certain, Is the same as that of the Ohio
Republicass taken in the face of a determined
foe a fact which adds to the significance of
both. t ' . i

ous on the political Btage. Its leaders are
men who have grown gouty and rhenmatio
in the clover of place and power. The ma-
iority of its Senators and Representatives

and Wilson, for exampte, go back in Federal
notoriety more than two-thirds of a genera

neth not to the contrary. Whether Horaoe
Greeley really ate the first pie which ever
sate on the Stuyvesant pear tree in the time
of "Hardkoppig Pete" may perchance be
matter of doubt. It is not matter of doubt
that he fought a good fight for Harry Clay
at a' time when the grown men of to-day
were behaving as improperly in their nurses'
arms as Shakespeare says babes so placed
always do.
So is it with the whole calendar of the Re
publican saints. Their journalists, like the
great agriculturist we have just mentioned,
and his friend the trusted Forney, have come
down to us with the brave of Bunker Hill
from "a past generation." Who remembers
a time when the voice of Chandler was not
heard in the Senate? Who can recoil by an
effort of the will from the present hour into
a season of the House of Representatives in
nocent of Bingham or of Kelley? Were these
venerable men able to agree upon any set of
political maxims, their individual imbecility
might be overbalanced by their collective
force. This, however, they are unable to
do, and the world is consequently afflicted
with the spectaole of a long hucksters'
wrangle between the old women of a political
market which already threatens ta tumble to
the earth. New men of mark and force com
ing forward they have none. Friends and
foes alike recognize the aooessions of capa
city and character which the Senate has made
from the Democratic party in the persons of
Mr. Bayard, Mr. Casserly, and Mr. Thur-
man. 'ine only latter-day Republicans who
have appeared in that body whose names are
ever mentioned in its debates are Mr. Conk
ling, of New York, and Mr. Carpenter, ot
Wisconsin. And of these the Tribune
itself contemptuously tells us that the one is
an inflated turkey-gobbler and the other a pin
feather popinjay. The youth and promise
and energy of the country belong by the irre
versible order of nature to the progressive
Democracy. The fogies and the fatuity of
the land are barnacled about the place-
holding veterans of radicalism. It were reason
enough, were all other reasons wanting, to
hope for the approaching overthrow of the
Republican party, that all its great columns
are visibly cracked, caloined, or toppled over
with old age. ,
THE LESSON OF PANICS.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
The periodical braying in the mortar of
that class of beings upon whom the operation
has been called ineffectual by high autho
rity, took place in Wall street on Wednesday.
A knot of cool and determined gamblers con
spired to spoil a number of their confreres
by buying in open market a greater amount
ot a certain stock than existed. The prelimi
nary measures of this plot were taken with
sucn skill and good fortune that npon the
morning of Wednesday this combination had
bought of the securities of a corporation
whose capital stock amounted to 170,000
shares the enormous quantity of 273,000. If
the conspiracy had been carried squarely
through the day the sellers would have been
at the mercy of the buyers, and the
latter might have exacted any prioe
they saw tit for the stocks in their posses
sion, and those which they bad con
tracted for. But at this very point the or
ganization showed its element of weakness.
The old maxim of "honor among thieves is
a very silly one, and is only used by those
who know nothing of rogues or too much of
them. In a transaction which is in its nature
dishonest and illegal, there is no guarantee
against treason among those who are engaged
in it. The maxim of all despotisms, that
where there are three rebels there is one in
former, is a true one; and the same tendenoy
of human nature provides in Wall street that
where there is a pool there are "double
bankers." In this case, the one portion of
the combination found to their horror, on the
morning of decision, that their associates de
clined to keep engagements, and it' is cur
rently reported and believed that many of
them were busily engaged on Xuesday in un
loading the securities which the rest were en
ergetically buying according to agreement.
The edifice of plunder reared with such infi
nite caie and pain was found to be under
mined before it was completed, and it came
down with a crash and a fracas that ruined
some of the builders and spread confusion
and dismay among hundreds of disinterested
bystanders.
On Thursday the lesson was so fresh and so
impressive that it was heeded. Buyers for
investment were timid and sensitive. Amid
the wreck and debris with which the street
was littered, it did not seem safe for any one
to engage in the pastime which had been
shown to be so disastrous the day before. In
the abandonment of the hour, the implements
of the gamblers were exposed for the time to
inspection; and the publio, after handling
the loaded dice and the marKBd cards, was
naturally somewhat slow to lay down its
money in a game which had betrayed all its
reckless rascality. But this caution will not
last more than a day or two. The disorder
of the excited gamesters will disappear. The
marked cards will be shu filed so deftly the
gudgeonB will not see their differential backs
The loaded dice will be shaken so gayly that
their rattle will seem like the soul of fair
play, and the fever of gambling, checked for
an instant by this quick shower-bam oi panic,
will go on as before, burning out the nervous
Bystems and the moral nature of all engaged
W it. -
Occurrences like those we have just wit
nessed are not in any sense to be deplored.
It would be well for the community at large
if they could become so frequent and so fla
grant as to convince the dullest of the inhe
rent unwholesome and dishonest charaoter of
the whole Bcheme of stock gambling, of
which they are the fullest illustration. If the
timid and nervous speculators, who form the
large majority of the material npoa whioh
these predatory operators ba.se their grand
combinations, could be only convinced that
w hen they enter into a conspiracy to rob
others, thfcir accomplices are bent on plunder
ing them also with strict impartiality, it would
cease to be so easy to organize these brigand
angs. Until the business circles generally are
jiutu who itiiw imjuviouoq mere is lima nope
for a reform in the street. There is, unfortu
nately; a gTeat deal of human nature left in
the commercial world, andaa long as it fcoems
probable that A. and li. can lie in wuit for
J, and spoil him of Lis shekels, there will
1 e iu&rle these unholy alliance. But from
tie hour when it becomes impossible for these
two rogues t4 trust each other in their rob-
1-iiitH, the road will be safer to the inuocent
wevfartT.
London Clubs,
Clubs are essentially English. Though
every continental city in Europe has imitated
their institution, yet the English club still re
mains evi generig. The olubs and circles in
Paris, in Vienna, in St. Petersburg, and,
above all, those wretched transplantations
called English and American dabs whioh
flourish in every city in Europe, are as differ
ent from their Pali-Mall namesakes as the
worship of Bacchus is from total abstinenoe.
On the continent the cafe takes the real place
of the club; it is there that men eat, drink,
smoke, and read the papers; while those
v.ho belong to clubs have generally some
claim to wealth or distinction, and use them
as a fashionable lounge where bets are made
in the dav time, and jligh play is the amuse
ment of the evening. The last light in whioh
a Frenchman, Austrian, or Russian views his
club is that of a home. And here lies the
ieat difference between club life abroad and
club life in England. To an Englishmen, if
he is a bachelor, his club is his .home. It is
there that he sees his friends, writes his let
ters, dines, and spends the greater part of the
day. British respectability, in its most
severe moments, can wish for no more de
corous haunt for husbands and sons to enter
and take up their abode. As long as men are
w ithin the walls of their club they have to con
duct themselves as gentlemen. Shouid a
member behave himself in an objectionable
manner, and to the annoyance of his fellows,
most assuredly he will be reprimanded by
the secretary, or if his offense be very repre
hensible, be requested by the committee to
take his name off the books.
Since Thackeray in his Miscellanies took
youva Brown by the hand and showed him
over his splendid club, the new clubs that
have been started are legion. The host of
names down on the books of the Carlton, the
Travellers', the Athenreuni, the Oxford and
Cambridge, the University, the "Rag," the
social exclusiveness of Boodle's, Brooks',
Arthur's, White's, etc, and the long time that
men had to wait before they could enter any
of the old London clubs, caused it to be a
matter of absolute necessity that new clubs
should come into existence, unless Young
England was to be for the best part
of his life absolutely clubless. Men were
tired of hearing that the A'thenrcuni or the
Travellers', in say 1800, were electing the
candidates put down in their books in 1845;
hence committees of influential men were
formed, and, in addition to the older clubs,
we have now the Junior Carlton (the most
successful of all the new clubs), the Naval and
Military, the New University, the Thatched
House, the Marlborough (for a very exclusive
coterie), the Gridiron, the Junior Athenieum,
the Albemarle, the Whitehall, and various
small military clubs.
London clubs may be divided into four
great classes the Bocial clubs, the political
clubs, clubs requiring special qualifications,
and the professional clubs. The social clubs
are the Travellers', Boodle's, Arthur's, the
Marlborough, the Windham, the Union, the
Raleigh, Junior Athenaoum, Gridiron,
Thatched House, etc The first four are
among the most exclusive in town. The po
litical clubs for lories and Conservatives are
White's, the Carlton, Junior Carlton, and the
Conservative; for Whigs and Radicals,
Brooks' and the Reform. The professional
clubs are the United Servioe, Junior United
Servioe, Army and Navy, and Naval and
Military for officers in the army and
navy and militia; the St. James'
for diplomatists and civil servants; the Athe
naeum for bishops, judges, and distinguished
artists and men of letters; the Garriok for
actors, journalists, artists, and men of letters
(in these two last there is a good sprinkling
of men-about-town); and the Whitehall for
engineers. The clubs requiring specifio
qualifications are the Guards', for officers in
the Household Brigade only; the Oxford and
Cambridge, the University and the New Uni
versity, as their names imply, for Varsity
men; and the Last India and oriental ulubs
for Indian officers, civil servants, and mer
chants. For card playing, the Portland and
the Arlington. For billiards and the best
night club in London, Pratt's. Tinsley's

Modern Politeness.
When our friend Brown, a courteous old
beau, dines out, he considers it one of the
first rules of good breeding to appear .pleased
with whatever is set before him, and to avoid
disturbing the toupee of the host, or causing
the fall of the smallest flake of enamel from
the cheek of the hostess, by any audible criti
cism upon their menu or their oompany. But
then he is pronounced by the superior judg
ment of the fast circles to be an awful snob. He
is far too "slow" to understand the comfort
of abusing the ortolans as they disappear into
his mouth, and the Lafitte as it runs down his
throat. This antiquated creature cannot en
joy the delight of exhibiting a cool contempt
for bis entertainer and all his concerns, nor
appreciate the luxury, . on quitting a house
after dinner, of carrying with him a comfort
able feeling of repletion, and the stimulating
consciousness of having shown the inmates
than they are rather a nuisance than other
wise.
What a privation it must have been to our
benighted forefathers to be compelled, by the
usages of their time, to restrain these gene
rous impulses these natural thanks for hos
pitality ! In our enlightened days whoever is
admitted into what a few people look upon
as the fine flevr of sooiety is free from any
such restrictions, in thOBe nappy bunting
grounds he may give free expression to his
sentiments; but he must be careful that not
the slightest polish conceals the
roughness and crudity of his
proceedings, for ' even here there
are laws, and they are enforoed by
heavy penalties. He must not make the fatal
mistake of bringing with him any courtesy or
respect for the feelings or others, or, above
all, any sense, if he should have such things
about him. He might as well bring the
cattle-plague or the small-pox. His civility
will be interpreted as humbug; his feelings
will create suspicion; and his conversation,
if even moderately rational, and not carried
on in the slang of the set, will be thought
such a bore that he win be cut the next day,
or declared to be as great a snob as old
Brown.
When we lament over the gradual spread
of these habits, it is a comfort to hear from
some people that the qualities of the heart
are as flourishing as ever. It may be so, but
it is not impossible that they may be endan
gered by the total abolition of politeness.
which is an outwork of kindness and friend
ship, and which, when it shows itself in a
"desire to make oneself less," we have the
highest authority for preferring to the oppo
site sentiment, which takes iu rise in self-
xaltation. It is also admitted that habits
aff ect the charaoter. A long course of inoi-
vility and disregard of others will go far to
produce the qualities of which they are the
outward sign, and we may nnd that in repu
diating politeness we have parted with many
Christian virtues to which it is nearly allied.

Reminiscence of Coleridge and Words
worth. '
Our meal concluded, I once more tried to
ascertain the names of the new comers. But
my hostess evaded the question and withdrew
to her boudoir,' and I was compelled to
adjourn to the saloon, that I might despatch
my letters before I was interrupted. I had
scarcely entered the room, and was trying to
improve a bad sketch I bad made the day
before, when an old gentleman entered,
with a large quarto volume beneath his
arm, whom I at onoe concluded to be one
of the anonymous gentry about whose
personality there had been so much
mystery. As he entered I rose and bowed.
Whether he was conscious of my well-intentioned
civility I cannot say, but at all events
he did not return my salutation. He ap
peared preoccupied with his own cogitations.
1 began to conjecture what manner of man
he was. His general appearance would have
led me to suppose him a disnenting minister.
His hair was long, white, and neglected; his
complexion was florid, his features were
square, his eyes watery and hazy, his brow
broad and massive, bis build unoouth, his
deportment grave and abstracted. He wore
a white starchless neckcloth tied in a limp
bow, and was dressed in a shabby suit of
dusky black. His breeches were unbut
toned at the knee, his sturdy limbs were
encased in stockings of lavender-colored
worsted, . his feet were thrust into
well-worn slippers, much trodden down at
heel. In this ungainly attire he paced up
and down, and down and up, and round and
round a saloon sixty feet square, with head
bent forward and shoulders stooping, ab
sently musing, and muttering to himself,
and occasionally clutching to his Bide his
ponderous tome, as if be feared it might be
taken from him. I confess my young Bpirit
chafed under the wearing quarter-deck
monotony of his promenade, and, stung by
the cool manner in whioh he ignored my
presence. I was about to leave him in undis
puted possession of the field, when I was
diverted from my purpose Dy tne entrance
of another gentleman, whose kindly smile,
and courteous recognition oi my bow, en
couraged me to keep my ground, and pro
mised me some compensation for tne snout
nut upon me by his precursor. He was
dressed in a brown holland blouse; he held in
his left hand an alpenstock (on the top of
which he bad placed the broad-brimmed
wide-awake" he had just taken off), and in
his right a sprig of apple blossom overgrown
with lichen, llis cheeks were glowing witn
tho effects of recent exercise. So noiseless
had been his entry, that the peripatetic
philosopher, whose back was turned to him
at first, was unaware ot his presence.
But no sooner did he discover it than he
shuffled up to bim, grasped him by both
hands, and backed bim bodily into a neigh
boring arm-cbair. Having secured him
safely there, he "made assurance doubly
sure, by banging over him, bo as to bar his
escape, while be delivered his testimony on
the fallacy of certain of Bishop Berkeley s
propositions, in detecting which, he said, he
had opened up a rich vein ot original reneo-
tion. Not content with cursory criticism, ne
plunged profoundly into a metaphysical
lecture, which, but for the opportune intru
sion of our fair hostess and her young lady
friend, might have lasted until dinner time.
It was tnen, for tne nrst time, X learned who
the party consisted of; and I was introduced
to Samuel Taylor Uoleridge, William Words
worth, and his daughter Dora.
I must say I never saw any manifestation
of small jealousy between Coleridge and
Wordsworth, which, considering the vanity
possessed by each, I thought uncommonly to
the credit of both. I am sure they enter
tained a thorough respeot for each other's in
tellectual endowments. Coleridge appeared
to me a living refutation of Bacons axiom,
"that a full man is never a ready man, nor
the ready man the full one, for he was both
a full man and a ready man. Wordsworth
was a single-minded man, with less im
agination than Coleridge, but with a more
harmonious judgment and better ba
lanced principles. Coleridge, conscious
of his transcendent powers, rioted in
a license of tongue which no man could tame.
Wordsworth, though he oould discourse most
eloquent musio, was never unwilling to Bit
still in Coleridge's presence, yet eould be as
nappy in prattling with a child as in com
muning with a sage. If Wordsworth conde
scended to converse with me, he spoke to me
as if I were his equal in mind, and made me
proud and pleased in consequence. If Cole
ridge held me by the button for lack of fitter
audience, he had a talent for making me feel
his wisdom and my own stupidity, so that I
was miserable and humiliated by the sense of
it. Memoir vf V. M. Young, Tragedian, hy
