The persecutions of the- Quakers and .-R.ntintN in earlv New England have se long been a subject of deserved reproach te the people responsible for them that again and again their descendants have sought te relieve them from the stigma bvierversiens of the historical facts, or apologies for them in aspersions of the victims of that intolerance. But as often as the champions of New England have entered the arena have they been unhorsed, SuperGcial eulogists of the boasted freedom of opinion which the Puritan nlanted in this country, like the late Mr. Garfield, have never risen te the defense of this preposition that some stout champion of the truth, like Judge Black, did net lay them low with the stout clnb of historical citations, and demonstrate that the spirit of Puritan ism exterminated rather than planted the right of private judgment. The Puritan movement in England, where its pretest against werdly follies was se powerful :is te " make it flat popery te eat a mince pie," blossomed into nothing mere genial when trans planted te the bleak soil or Plymouth Reck. They burned witches in Massa chusetts with the same holy fervor as Sir Matthew Hale, in England, sen tenced them te death while he proclaim ed Christianity te be part of the common law. They banished Reger Williams, because he preached the eternal separa tion or. church and state, while the illustrious chief justice or the realm convicted Jehn Bunyan for frequenting cenventicles. The evaugelical concern of Rev. Emanuel Downing, lest the cel eny should be held responsible for suf fering the Narragansetts te maintain the worship of the devil, did net res'rain him from gleeful acquiescence in the proposal te capture ami exchange them for lilackaraeres, deeming il right "gayupful pilladge." because lhey could maintain twenty negrees cheaper than one English servant. Their nus sienary zeal exhausted itself long before it started for Africa's sunny fountains, since in 1 GIG a slave woman was rated as a " beast," and in lTKi they had se vividly realized the historical accuracy of Judge Taney's famous declaration in theDred Scott case, that in the humane colony of Massachusetts negrees were judicially rated as horses and dogs, and the superfluous infants wen-, given away like puppies. That the adht-ivuls of Geerge Fex's peaceful sect weie treated with scarcely less consideration lias long been a matter of indisputable history, but of lateyeais it has been the fashion in pal liation of the old Puritan persecutions te represent the Quakers of that day and generation te have been lawless dis turbers of the peace, centemners el the holy religion, whose affected inner light and higher law made them despise civil forms as heartily as they defied ecclesi astical decency. A most effective answer te this defense of the Puritans by at tacking the Quaker has been furnished in Mr. Holle well's " Quaker Invasion r Massachusetts," which appears almost, simultaneously with Whit tier's recent burning lilies en the women who weie "stripped naked, from the middle up wards, and tied te a cart's tail and whipped through the town." Mr. Hal lewell's little book shows that when the Quaker visitors firs; reached New Fug laud no laws existed, human or divine, te prohibit their coming or bringing their books with them, hut that en the ether hand the " body of the liberties " professed such tolerance of opinion as te t invite people of different faith by a guarantee of ample protection from the authorities. Arbitrary persecution, in human punishment and confiscation f property were, nevertheless, at once di rected against them simply because of their faith, ample evidence of which for persecution was found in their use of the form " thee." A civilization which en ceuraged the exportation of Indians and the trading of them for rum ami negrees because it could " uriyiitayiiu twenty Moores cheaper than one Fuglislie .vr vant," interdicted the landing of Quakers, punished shipmasters who brought them and bullied these who would net cairyaway the children of the banished Seuth wiclces and jell them in a Virginia market. Net only were women stripped and exposed te public gaz., beaten till the bleed ran down their bate necks and besoms, but the ears of men were cut off and their bodies beaten te a jelly for attending Quaker meetings and at least four persons suffered the death penalty, while the number f homes broken up by banishment and confiscation can never be computed. . A reference te the letters and public declarations of the victims of these per secutieus shows that the, orgies and indecencies and brawling spirit ascribed te the Quakers of that, day, in justitica tieu of their punishment, are utterly inconsistent with their character. That they may have used plain language m expressing their opinions should have been nothing te their discredit or unpep ularity, for both in Fngland and in this country the doctrines of Puritanism and its opinion of ether forms of faith were expressed with a vehemence of expletive that no religious movement, Mahomme Mahemme dan, Jew or infidel has ever equalled. The social indecorums that have b-u:i charged upon Quaker women, Mr. Hal lewell shows, either are fictitious or wen: all occurrences long subsequent te the cruel laws and mere cruel persecutions that they have been cited tejustify, and were invariably the results and net the cause of persecution. The Quaker niele drama was "net the prelude, but the afterpiece and sequel te the Puritan tragedy." .At length, and with abundant citations of a net-superficially examined record, this last defender of the New England Quaker fortifies his answer te the Purit an apology for the spirit of persecution. It is net a pleasant record te recall ; nor is the New Englander new te be held re sponsible for the crimes of his ancestors in a day since when social and religious conditions have se vastly altered; but tfte sons of these Pilgrim fathers are se apt te appropriate te them all that makes for glory and freedom, of thought and speech, political and religious, in our early history that it is well for them te be occasionally brought up face te face with the stern fact that their fathers stoned and burned the martyrs of free thought in this blessed land. The refusal of the court of claims te grant a rehearing in the case of the cadet engineers against the government, re cently decided in favor of the former, is a rebuke of the freshness and oflicious eflicious oflicieus nes3 of Secretary Chandler jn claiming that the executive department was under no obligations te obey the decrees of the courts. He may seen learn that he can not de as he pleases, even if he has be come secretary of the navy by playing traitor te his old friends and taking up with new ones who have new power te advance him te places of trust. The very presence of William E. Chandler in the cabinet is a reflection upon our institutions, when te this he adds the office of censer of the court he becomes thoroughly ridiculous. It is plain that the secretary has never been able te get ever the idea that the office of secretary of the navy is net larger or mere digni fied that a ward caucus in his own little town, and that he governs himself ac cordingly. m The new Bosten party, which a few of .the newer blue bleeds of that city started out te organize a week or two age, has already succumbed te the inevitable and has resolved itself into its original cle ments. It had announced, with a great nourish of trumpets, that it intended te take charge of the auti -Butler force and show a waiting world hew apolitical campaign ought te be carried en. This se amused the risibilities of even the staid and proper people of Bosten that they proceeded at once te laugh it out of existence. Whatever General Butler may or may net de, he has the kindest and most accommodating enemies of any man new in public life in this country. It leeks as if the cyclones in the West will held out leuger than the Star Reute trials after all. This sigh of relief that went up fromthe jnrers in the Star Reuto tiials at their eud yesterday, was net mere silicon) than that t which the whole country gave vent. Tun Alloutewu Evening Telegram has just, completed its first year, and enters upon its second with every indication of proving itself one of the best journals in the Lehigh valley. A cuaxk went, into the Sunday school at Unity, Des Moines, en Sunday morn ing, with his arm ornamented with a live garter .snake twined about it, and .seated himself in the Bible class. The people were much put out at the introduction of the primitive fee te mankind. Enet.vnd lauded aud honored and made a peer of General Wolseloy because he bombarded Alexandria, without much risk te himself. America will only laud Goueral Creek because of his superb achievements in the Sierra Madies. But the American warrior is a modest man and don't want mero than the thanks of his country. It is new beginning te be doubtful whether the i ecent circulars issued from Heme iu leference te the policy of the Latin church in Ireland and America aie te be adhered te as at first intended or he sulfered te drop without further efforts te give them ferca aud effect. It seem te be obvious that while thou orders may represent the ssntimeuts and views of tiie Ultratnontane party iu the Vatican ceuu ci!, the peps himself appreheuds that they are likely te prove a failure Tin: annual proclamation has been is sued by Mayer King, prohibiting the use of fireworks, cracker, guu, revolver, can non and toy pistols in the streets of Phil adelphia. Certainly the mayor gives plenty of tinie by the issuance of his op position te the usual sport of the cnthusi astic youngster and festive adult en t lie Fourth, but it is likely that it matte is little te thorn when it is givea out se long as it se effectually steps their usual hilar ions pasttime. Tin: trouble batween France aud China is net likely te be smoothed ever by the interference of Germany, who has, as might bd expected, sided with China. Th-j bloody days of '71 are net forgotten by cither the defeated French or the victor ieus Gei mans, and nothing short or the most pal liable indications of failure will indnce the former te back down when they see their old enemy ai rayed agans1; them. Franca would net have much of a .show with China and Germany assaultiug her, and if both take it into their heads te restrain her from securing the firmer alh fiance of Tonquin, alie will have te grace fully submit te the defeat that would in evitably come. As additional and fuller reports are ro re ro ccived of Goneral Creek's capture of the hostile Indians in the Sierra Madre moun tains it is only seeu hew difficult and hazardous was the task he undertook te perform. Among the most impregnable fastnesses of the Sierras he found the icdskins encamped, foolishly assuming a fancied security, and quietly captured a whele camp. It was net only that there were danger and death te fear from a lurking aud bloodthirsty fee, but from the natural foimatienof the mountains thcie was much suffered and endured, and the brave general and his no less brave fol lowers may, se far as public approbation aud praise can cause them te forget their trials, remember only the brilliancy and success of their venture.

Bearding Heaie Keepers Attacking a Snlp'fl Crew at tbe Chester Wharves. Fer the past few days the crew of the ship Tillie E. Starbuck, which left Reach's, at Chester, at 5:30 Tuesday morning, have been locked in the forecastle and watched by bearding house runners from New Yerk and Philadelphia. Tuesday merniug a man named Duffy, runner for a sailor's bearding house iu Philadelphia, and Ben jamin Jinks, runner for a house in New Yerk, opened the starboard forecastle and steed ready te give an early morning greeting te the first men who came out. The first was a German and he was at once seized and thrown down. Duffy is a very large man, ever six feet tall and very stout. He jumped upon and kicked the mau, while Jinks tapped him en the head with an iron be laying pin. The unfortunate sailor was then dragged aft and placed in irons. All this time the men in the forecastle were still locked in. Leuis Brewer, ene of the stevedores from Brooklyn, who was still en beard, having just finished unloading the Starbuck's cargo, took a hand in the light. He labored under the impression that the abused party was ene of his men aud he was determined te protect him. Duffy greeted Brewer's iuterference by drawing a revolver and firing several shots without doing any damage. As soeu as this work began all en beard who did net intend te accompany the Starbuck en her veyage made quick time in getting en shore. Soen alterwards the ruuners left also aud lest no time in leaving the city. N ene of the officers of the ship had any baud in the matter. Captain Rogers se verely condemns it.

Lennex, of Philadelphia, directing him te negotiate with the United Slates government for the purchase of war ves sets te be used for the reduction of rebels iu Miragoane. " The first heard of the matter," said E. D. Barrett, the Ilaytian consul, " was from the paragraphs in the papeis this merniug. I was convinced there could be no truth iu it, and se I telegraphed te Mr. Lenuex, iu Philadel phia, asking what it all meant, aud this is the answer I rcceived : : Never heard such uonsenso nntil your telegram called my attention te it. Such stuff never came from ine. " There " continued Mr. Bariett, "that seems pesitive eueugh. Besides, it would be a curious prccedent for the government te create if it was te enter into such negotiations as these alleged without any communication with us at the legation here and through an entirely independent source. As for this man, Leen Vicra, mentioned in this absurd report as the agent of the Ilaytian government, I have never heard of such a mau until this minute, and it is net even a Ilaytian name."

At New Yerk the match game of balk line billiards, between Maurice Viguaux and Jacob Schaufcr, Tuesday night, at the Academy of Music, for $300 a side, was lcmarkabic for the closeness of the scores up te the turning of the first 300 points and the hrilli.iucyef the Frenchman's play from that point te the close. Schaefer, who evidently had a great preponderance of the sympathies of the audience, began with rather a jaunty air. He seemed te undervalue the strength of his adversary and was the first te give an exhibition of the peculiar style of nursing he had previ ously devised for the balk-line game. But the Frenchman seen showed that if he had net mastered the art at Chicago he has done se sine;), for he speedily fell te nursing with a delicacy and rapidity that astonished Schaefer himself, and added 370 points te his score in ene inning. He finished the game, 800 points, iu the 3Gth inning, with a run of 75, Schaefcr's scere being ertly CM. Hisavorage was 22 2 0, while Schaefar's was 17 8-J). Matter el Laber.

HOW BE APPEARS MOW AT HOME. Editor Wattersea'a Impressions of the Sage oreramercy Park Alter a Visit En able te Speak for Tildes. Henry Watterson, who has been spend ing some days with Mr Tilden, has writ ten the following account of his visit for the Louisville Courier journal, in which paper it appears te-day. "I have been spending a few days at Greystone with Governer Tilden, and net merely because his old friends in the West and Seuth have an ever present personal interest in him, but because his name is at the moment upon the lips of politicians of every class all ever the country, I propose te give the readers of the Courier Journal some particular account of him. " When I parted from him a year age I did never expect te see him again. Indeed I was se skeptical of the Bteries concerning his restoration te health as te feel a delicacy about intruding upon his privacy. He was geed enough te send for me and I went ever te Gramercy park in a some what sorrowful, sympathetic state of mind. My surprise almost exceeded my gratification. The old house is un dergoing reconstruction aud enlarge ment en a magnificent scale. But the old library is still the same, being held from the band of despoiling splendor for the last. I take it as a tribute of affectionate romemberance of old times, Old friends aud old books. There I found the govor gevor gover apparition had steed I could net have astonished. The days nor. If an before me been mere 0-7 seemed te have come back. His low voice was found again. His eyes were bright and his .cheeks rosy. His intellect as sinewy and clear and his wit as incisive as they were when he made nothing of riding Blackstene te Harlem and back or driving the Kentucky bays from Gramercy park te Greystone. He took me all ever the new house, pointing out the various changes, explaining his general design and discussing architecture and architect with characteristic intelli gence. He quite tired me out a favor ite and malevelent way he has of punish iug his friends climbing long stairs, meaudering through labyrinths of decora tive art aud threading the tapestried and frescoed mazes of corridor and chamber. On current affairs he talked with his usual pungency and candor. When endurance had ceased te be a virtue I said : " Gov oruer, don't you think we have had enough of this?' He smiled aud iu his dry, half-pitying, half-sarcastic way replied: If yen are tired we will go down stairs." "At Greystone his life is of the simplest and busiest. He has a farm hard by aud no end of pigs, poultry and blooded stock. Of course, I had te be dragged ever -this farm, and the devices which the old gen tlemau put shyly forth te trap me into some unguarded treason te the butter aud eggs of ray blue grass country were many aud ingenious. I steed my ground like a here, but it must be ewned that the gov ernor's farming is, like overything he undertakes, thoroughly well done. I asked him whether he tried te make any money out of it. 'Oh, no,' he said. 'It is easier made some ether way.' While at Groy Grey Groy stene net se much as the shadow or the ghost of a politician crossed the threshold or appeared upon the grounds. Snrrouuded by his nieces j.nd his books the old statesman was as unroserved iu his conversation as he was aud always is, simple aud cordial iu his hospitality. One of the young ladies told me that the little household had get through ever 200 vol umes the last winter. The governor is a veracious and versatile reader, no 103s than an attontive and wise observer of affairs, aud we talked of everythiug from Themas A'Kempis te Themas A. Hen dricks. He playfully observod that the chief objoctien he had heard te the elec tion of Mr. Carlisle te the speakership was that iu seme recent volumes published by ene Mr. Frendo thore was a suspicion that he had mistreated his wife. "Here I must step. I knew that the public is most curious te learn what are Mr. Tildeu's views of political affaiis, current aud prospective. I have little doubt that if I had the right te speak I could, by faithfully reporting him, make myself at ence entertaining and instructive. But the opinions of every mau are his own and his house issacrcd. I never knew a mau mere entirely frauk in his intercourse with his friends than this sage of Graystoae, but I am net his mouthpiece and it is net for me te ceme all the way from Kentucuy te New Yerk te de that which he is se much hotter able te de for himself. I can say however, for myself, that nothing pased which leads me te modify the opinion I have se often expressed that no power en earth could induce him te accept the ptes i lency." rOUKlIlNuKANK'S DKKiSI. The Carious Story Which UO Sends Out te the Newspapers. Jehn II. Crane, the foreman of the Star Reuto jury, wrete out and handed te a reporter ou Tues- day the following account of an alleged dream which he had had with regard te the proceedings of the jury after its retirement te deliberate upon the evidence in the pending case. The se called " dream " is generally understood here as a sort of allegorical expression of the fore man's belief that an agreementupen a verdict will net seen be reached : "Last night I dreamed Isiw twelve men locked up in a room together. They were venerable looking meu, their beards being white with the frost", of age. It seemed a long, long way off in the future way down near the sunset of time. I dreamed I was ene of them aud that we were engaged in considering the evidence in the second Star Reute trial. The evi denee seemed te lay in strata and we were engaged with pick-axes and shevels trying te oxhume it from beueath the mountains of arguments, exceptions and prayers uuder which it lay buried. We were a very conscientious jury se conscientious that we were net willing te take a vote until we had examined all the evidence One of our number had his heart set en ' Agate ' and declared he would never consent te take i vote uutil we found it. We found ' Greenhorn ' without much trouble, but peer little Agate ' was buried se deep it never came te the sur face. After we had been out a long time it soemod an age I heard the judge say te the marshal in a loud and somewhat impatient tene of veice : ' Put that jury en the old common law diet.' This threw consternation among us, for we had been dining en the best, that Walsh could afford, se we hurried up thiugs. But just as we were proceeding te take a vote tncre suddenly appeared ever all the ghost of Jehn Calvin, who comforted our weary souls with sometlung like the (ollewing: ' Yeu can and you can't.

Sema or tbe CBaraeterutics or the natives or the Emerald ' Itle The Ueaatjr and Urandenr or the Scenery. Rev. James Merrow, D. D., pastor of the Tabernacle church of Philadelphia, lectured in Duke Btreet M. E. church last evening te an audience that should have been much larger, en the subject, " Ire land and Specimen Irishmen." The speaker, iu his prefatory re marks, mentioned the great importance of all knowing something about the Irish and their country. Iu remarking upon the characteristics of the people and the country Rev. Merrow thought that the gulf stream, whose waters rise in the Indian ocean and after windiug through a part of ether oceans touch the coast of Ireland, had much te de with the tempora tempera ment of the natives and the peculiarities of the soil. Ireland, said he, is really in teresting. Men of science find iu its geology much that entertains aud 111- structs them ; men who are scientifically inclined beheld in beautiful scenery a wonderful net its pic- ture of color and form. As belonging te the scenery of the country, the lecturer mentiened the Giant's Causeway, which se many call a freak of nature It is tl.it as a fleer en the top, and one seems te walk ever, when upon it, a let of column?, iu tbe centre of which is au octagonal ea-j surrounded by many ethors, aud se close together that it is impossible te insert a ponknife betweeu thorn. Then, from below, as ene leeks upon them, the col umns bear a must perfect likeuess te the pipes of an organ. We may net knew for acjrtaiuty bow this wonder wa; formed, but probably that ferce of motion that leads te the formation of starch is the same which formed the causeway. Then there is the famous Lake of Killaruey, which was iu the parish of Dr. Merrow, when be was a resident of Ireland. Thore standing en ene of the blufis one may count beneath him the peaks of 40 hills ; ten miles away aeress the country ene may sue the great line of turfs, while ten miles iu another direction may be discerned the Atlantic breaking its waves against the shores ; aud all around are rare plants, and exquisite scenery. Dr. Merrow then spoke of the early his his tery of the Emerald Isle, aud said that in no ethor country will a knowledge of the past help us mere te au understanding of the present age than Ireland. The ancient Irish were known as Celts, and are ui t of a great race ; the iUilisiaus iu Spain, t he Gauls in Frauce are of them, and in the hills of Scotland oue can find a nation from the same division of the human race. The Celts pushed thuuitalve forward into many parts ef-the old world, and we may remember as a subject, for thought that wheh Paul addressed his cpistle te the Corinthians it was te ene of the branches of the great Celtic race. Anether point iu the nationality of Irishmen is their lan guage. It has a marked resemblance iu its formation te soma ether languages of the glebe. But te the Irish, many of them, it is, as is natural, the dearest tongue et all. Some of them will argue that their lan guage was the first spoken aud that Adam and Eve used it in the Garden of Eden. Again, ethers will say that it is the very ene that the devil cannot speak or learn, while te the lecturer's' mind, it is the best language iu wliL-h te curse, the best iu which te pray aud the bent iu which te make leve, and there is really a weight of poetry laying in the simple Irish heart aacLfee finds expression of it in his language. ,y , Anether feattre is the structure of society. It is remarkably like the patriarchal 1 1 fe of the Biqle. It is that of the clan, wherein the father Is uet only the head of the family, but of a clan, which eharac teristic still linger hi a faint degree. But thore was a time when, an O'CouueIl would net tolerate au 0'Shaughens-ey .; an O'Donnell notice a McLaughlin, and this antipathy of the elans is yet somewhat felt. The lecturer then speke of the geniality and general points of the characters of Irishmen. He said an Englishman i1; never happy but when he is growling, a Scotchman never'at home unless abroad, and an Irishman is never at peace unless he is fighting. As te the question of ro re ro ligieu, the speaker thought that no matter what might be their vices or their tendencies there is nothing among theui that partakes of iufidclism or even of materialism. They are distinctively a 10 Iigieus people. This trait has cenn: down te them from their earliest times. When St. Patrick began his work in Ire land, the Druid ical form of worship still lingered. He made his way southward te Taraand began te preach the gospel. The lecturer then told briefly of the lite of this geed Irish evangelist, aud rpnke of the intensity and impetuosity of the natives of Ireland in the prep igatieu of their ic ic ligieu. Henry Second was the first. Fug lish king who called himself owner of Ireland, but before he invaded Iivland he received a bull from the pepe allowing bin ceurse, and stipulating that the tax of Peter's peucp should go te his holiness. In the ceurse el uisr.im.irksthe lecturer I said that instead of regardiug the potato, lu which all irishmen delight as a blessing, he thought it a curse. Before Sir Walter Raleigh brought tlu bulb of tbe plant from the new world, thu IiiKh were industrious They tilled their laud and lived mostly upon grains. But when they get the potato thev soeu dis covered hew easily it could be giewn, and instead of being thrilty and industrious as before, they grew e.iineles:; aud uusteady. and then when thu darks days of the great famine come and the potatoes ictt'd and black death was everywhere the ef fects of the introduction of the plant were seen. Ireland cannot beast of her riches, but like the mother of the Gratii, in Reman history, she could point te her sons as her jewels. In. every department of human knowledge they have been found. There areGrattan, Burke, Swift, Sterne, Gold smith, Clarke, Currau, and even Handy Andy and O.ear Wilde, all from lri.ih parentage. The specimen Irishmen were then givcu, the lecturer taking Adam Claike, the author of the great Bible conimeut.iry, Oliver Goldsmith aud Jehn Phillpet Cur ran as the particular ones. Iu his portrayal of the early struggles of each aud their final successes, the lecturer gave many in teresting aud amusing anecdotes, as he did all through his admirable lecture. Rev. Moirew spoke mere than an hour aud held the attention of his audicu-ju all through. 8irawberty Festival.
