Interesting Lecture bj Cteerge 8. Bont
. well.
Last evening the' first lecture of a course
to be given under toentuspusea bT the Social,
Civil and Statistical AB»obiation,was de
livered at National Hall, toy Hon.,George 3.:
Boutweli, of Massachusetts, the'' snbjetst toe
ing end-justice in puhUphfikirs.v ,
Among those' on the plattbrm we noticed
Hon. John A. Bingham,«f Ohio, and several
members elect to our Legislature.
Col. Wm. B. Thomas introduced the dis
tinguishtd'lecturer, referring to the trials
through whicbuhtj country had passed, and
regretting that somehad not been true to the
great principles at issue. The geutletnan
that he had the honor of introducing was
not one of those, as he had always been true
to the’Union, to truth and to freedom. .
Mr. Boutweli was received with great
applause, and said his topic was not novel
and his plan of ireating it would be simple.
By justice in public affair he meant that
rule of right or equity' which men easily
comprehended, but could not be stated
save in connection with facts. Policy was'
the aciion of .some men, regardless of right
or wrong,'and any departure from justice
led us to believe that no policy at ail ex
isted. He had no hesitation in saying that
since the downfall of the Stuarts there never
was a man at the head of a government so
utterly and entirely destitute of all personal
qualifications to enter into a just adminis
tration of government tfian was the man
who has been in the Presidental chair
since April, 1865. Until the Government
was put into the * hands of a man
who enjoys the confidence of the
loyal people of this country there would'be
no permanent peaceer safety to the finances,
social order, and consequently not a reliable
government. After a passing allusion to
Mexico be said the British Geverumaut had
at the earliest moment recognized the rebels
as belligerents, and sanctioned the fitting
out of the Corsairs that preyed upon our
commerce and reduced one-third of our ves
sels. By that departure from principle and
law she reigned victorious for a short time;
hut now ehe was but a third-rate govern
ment, and would have to settle for fier de
parture irom justice. The delicate subjeat
of interfering in foreign affairs, however,
should never be entrusted to persons who
had proved themselves treacherous in do
mestic affairs. When the Government was
in safe hands would be ufinty of time to
hunch all pers ms from this continent.
It slavery was analyzed it would be found
to be only a worse form of injustice; and in
this connection he narrated an incident of
meetiDga woman in Washington leaving a
slave pen in which was the the last of her
daughters, to be sent to Louisiana. That
woman and her children were the property
of Mr. Blair, the gentleman who is under
the weather now; and if he ever had any
thing to say in his behalf, now was the time
to doit. After conversing with the woman
he made up his mind never to write a line
or utter a sentence in maintenance of sla
very, and, perhaps, he was indebted to Mr.
Blair for that resolution.
It should be the leading priaciple of every
man in this country never to vote for a man
for the Executive office who has bought or
sold human flesh. This country will never
he safe to long as a man is in the Executive
chair of the United States who has bought
or told human flesh. The tyrants of the
South had no respect for anything but force,
and so long as our army was in reach they
could be kept in subjection. Daring the
past fifteen months they had felt there was
a man at the head of the Government who
was not disposed to protect loyal men. If
we had, the scenes enacted in New Orleans
and Memphis would not now occupy a
bloody place on the page of the history of
our Government,
He was prepared to resist any project ex
cept justice was at the foundation; and he
believed justice to be where all the people
born in a country, and other people who
come here and give proper evidence that
they are going to make their homes here,
should c-Djoy the same equal rights that
every white man now eDjoys. He was not
ready to concede nniversal amnesty for
what is called impartial suffrage. We had
no right to make any barters now, for if we
needed the colored man on the battle-field,
we needed him more now than we did then
to go to the ballot-box and restrain the re
bels. A man who could read was certainly
better qualified to administer the right of
franobise.but it did not follow that all should
he excluded because they could not read,
for it was but an art, the result of education.
In Maryland the rebels had possession of
the government; and in Arkansas, after the
rebels were excluded from voting or hold
ing office by the Legislature, tjie Supreme
Court decided it unconstitutional, and now
every rebel votes. In Tennessee, if they are
not wise enough to enfranchise the colored
man, the rebels will regain that State, and
so in West Virginia, and every ancient slave
State. It was said these people would vote
for their masters if given the ballot. It was
said if they were given the musket they
would fight for their masters, but did they
do so? : ■
, These prophecies were idle,as the fact was
that the loyal colored man believed in the
Government and would vote oh the side of
the Government. Suppose Maryland had
enfranchised the colored man, would Gov
ernor Swann have had occasion to take
an interest in the registry of the citizens?
No: if the loyal, able-bodied male citizens
of State had been permitted to'vote
they would have taken car# of the State. '
Tennfeßsee could be made to give 50,000 loyal
majority, and defy the rebels, by admitting
all her citizens to the franchise. It will not
do to.dole out the reading and writing test,-
or the whole South will be enrolled against
the education of the black man, and there
are obstacles enongh no w to meet with in re
. gard to education, and such a course would
make the twelve States organize as a unit
and continue to oppose the Government for
ever. 1
Became from a State that had sent two
blaok men to the legislature, and whatever
might be said of this fact it was simply a
matter of taste, and no offence agaiast judg
ment, reason or right. If he found every
man had the right to participate in the go
vernment, and any district ohose to eleot a
colored man to Congress, it was no matter
or his. It was enough for him to know that
a loyal black man was preferable to a
rebel white man. If there was not a wise
construction of this Government the colored
people would take the matter in their own
hands.aud while they might be sacrificed it
would nevertheless be a disgrace and degra
dation to the Government that permitted,
such things by neglecting to do its duty
when it had the right and power so to do
The Governor of South Carolina com
plained that the colored people were leav
ing that State, and yet he did not seem to
know that if South Carolina did justioe to
these people they would stay there. It was
unquestionably the duty of Congress to
stand firm, and refnse the representatives
Trom the Southern States up til they had
done justice to the oolored people. ’ While
he would be happy to see the distinguished
gentlemen who represented the South In
their seats,be did not forget the country had

should be recognized at the beginning. Let
this be done, and in ten years we will have
>• people who; can -be Wafely trusted with
■ heir own affairs, and be represented in the
National Congreis. The speaker now re
ared to Andrew Johnson, and said if it.
w as reported that he was in conference with
.Alexander H. Stephens, Wade Hampton or
Joe Johnson, the people would feel some
Apprehension. If, however, the lamented
Lincoln was in office, and such a confer
ence would be reported, no appreheasiou
-would be felt,for every oue knewtbat what
ever concessions he might make, he would
never concede the substantial rights of the
yal people of the North. The apprehen
sion that is felt Johnson is
!• unded in the fact that the people have lost
i i iifidtcce in him, and he could no longer
i entrusted m dealing with these men. He
was allied with rebels, and the spirits of the
south, who look to him as their leader and
guide now as much as they did to Jefferson
Davis during the rebellion.
With rt ference to the proposed impeach
n ent of the President, he said if Congress
in good faith and in a judicial spirit find he
lias been guilty of a violation of the law or
a uiiedemeanor, as it is termed in the Con
nitution, the people of the country would
t ot hesitate, if ic was proved, to remove
lim from office. It was a grave matter to
talk of impeaching a President, but it would
t e a graver one to the people if a President
was guilty and impeachable, and .should
escape. The impeachment would have
the effect of teaching Presidents chat cer
tain acts could not safely be done.
That it was impossible to be a dictator
in this oonntry. Tnat no one should ask
the people if they would have a President
or a King, for this was an offence to the Re
public and to its institutions, the ideas of
w hich were that the people of this country
established a government founded on the
public good and supported by the popular
arm, and that ktog, crown, dictator, or
usurper would not be permitted to exist in
it, or be even hinted at. It would teach that
the lowest official in the custom house to the
executive was but the servantof the people.
Mr. Boutweli was most warmly applaud
ed throughout bis address, and at times was
compelled to pause several v minutes, so vo
ciferous were the manifestations of delight
at many of the points of his masterly ad
dress.
The “Black Swan” opened and closed
the exercises by singing aeveral popular airs,
and she, too, came in for a good share of
a; plause.
The Lincoln Institution.— The boys of
this excellent institution had a fine time of
it on Thanksgiving Day. Iu the morning
they attended divine service at the Otiurofi
of the Epiphany, and on tbeir return home
paid a fly ii g visit to the Uoiou League,
where they were reviewed by Mr. Fall, the
President of the League, and other gentle
men who were present. Atoneo’clocs they
received a formal visit from Maj or General
Meade, who is at the head of the Institu
tion. Captain J. Kendall Dexter, a bright
Massachusetts boy of fourteen, made a very
neat address to the General, expressing toe
gratitude of the boys for the care and com
i'Tt which they enjoytd in their new home.
General Meade, in reply, addressed the boys
with much feeling, in view or the sad asso
ciations presented to him by this company
of orphan boys, whose fathers had fought
aDd died nuder his command. Iu simple
at d well chosen terms he impressed upon
them those great dales of obedience,loyalty
and love to God and man, the observance of
w bich would make them useful, patriotic,
Christian men. The General’s remarks
were listened to with great attention by his
ytnthiul audience, who greeted him, at
tbeir oonclnMon, with three hearty cheers.
General Meade was accompanied by Col.
de Ghana], of the French army, who is now
in this country collecting materials fir a
work on the late rebellion. He seemed
greatly interested at the novel spectacle of
this interview between the distinguished
e mmander of the Army of the Potomac
and these little “Children of the Common
wealth,”
The boys were afterwards regaled with a
sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner, ami in
the afternoon enjoyed a romp and a game
of base ball at Fairmount Park.
Base Ball.— An interesting game of base
ball was played on Thanksgiving morning
on the ground of the Bachelor Base Ball
Clnb at Twelfth and Mifflin streets, First
Ward, between the first and second nines of

On Thursday the home and home matoh
was played between the Commonwealth
and Hamilton, Jr., base ball clubs. The
Commonwealth was minus tiva of its play
ers, whose places were filled by members of
tbe second nine. The playing of Baker was
splendid, but tbe grand features of the day
were three difficult fly-catches by Kern. Tbe
Commonwea!tb:was victorious by 11 runs.
Another Result op Reckless and
Fast Driving.— About 6 15 o’clock, last
evening, as Mr. Louis peiouze was driving
to his residence at Ron borough, passing the
Wissabickon, two men, with a pair of horses
attached to a light carriage, drove furiously
around the turn in the road. They ran into
.Mr. Pelouze’s wagoD, throwing him out
heavily, and overturning his wagon on top
of him, breaking two of his ribs, and other
wise seriously injuring him. The parties
kept on their way, and never stopped to see
what damage they had de ne. Mr. Peiouze

Amber.
■ This word is derived from the Arabic.
The well-known substance so called is a
fossilized resin of certain unknownconi
ferous trees, of the fir or pine genus
Great virtues were attributed to it by
the ancients. Pliny tdllß us that Sopho
cles: held amber to be the Detritted tears
which the birds of Meleager dropped to
the memory of that great iieroof mytho
logy. Amber has bc-en among the
moderns a subject pf great discussion.
The mysteries in which it was involved
was increased by the circumstance that
Hebrewand Arabiccbaracters wereoften
found engraved upon it, in a perfectly
legible state. Dr. Thomas,of Koeuigs
berg.has given us the explanation of this
singular fact by stating that the pieces
of amberso engraved were neither more
nor less than seals. Many of them are
preserved in the Museum of Portico, but
chiefly brought thither from Hercula
neum. It is certainly astonishing that
having invented seals, the Romans
should not have followed up the idea
and invented some sort of printing pro
cess for their writings. Never was there
a broader hintgiven to man, and yet it
took a thousand years to bridge over the
gulf which lies between seals and mova
ble types. The largest known deposits
- of am her lies on the Prussian coast of the
Baltic; it is found in a bed of lignite,
which is supposed to extend far under the
sea. Another deposit of amber lies al
most horizontally on the outskirts
of Dirschheim, at a depth of only four
feet from the surface. Pieces of amber
are often found lying on the coast after
a storm; thus, on the Ist of January,
1848, upwards of 400 kilos of this sub
stance were thrown out of the sea within
a very small space. Amber has-been
known from the highest antiquity,, aad
important medical properties were at
tributed to it; even now4t maintains its
place in our pharmacopoeias, together
with the oil distilled from it, as a
stimulant, an astringent, and an anti
spasmodic. Amber necklaces have been
found in Celtic tombs both in England
and in Brittany. Regnard tells us that
in his time the Margrave of Bronden
burg, presented the Emperor of Russia
with an arm chair entirely of amber,
and the Dauphin with a mirror of the
same material.
Moravians in the United States.
—The United Brethren Almanac for 1867,
just issued, contains the following sta
tistics of that branch of the Christian
Church in the United States: Prom the
table of statistics of the Church for 1866,
we learn that there are 35 conferences
and 2 missions; 4,255 preaching places;
3,297 classes or societies; 91,570 members,
with an increase of 7,047 during the year;
