evening bulletin.
Frldayi June 5, 1868*
the woman of
A writer in late numbers of the London
Saturday Review ha* made a series.of at
tacks upon woman, in which he accuses her
of an appalling number of sins of omission
and commission, Mid labors to prove that she
not only is completely lost and degraded her
self, but that she is effecting the utter demo
ralization of society. The persistence and
bitterness with which this writer defends his
position, seem to demonstrate that he has
been very unfortunate in his domestic and
social relations, and in his choice of female
associates. • But he is, at the same time, the
representative end mouthpiece of a very large
class existing m this country as well as in
England, who de not tire of declaiming
against the degeneracy of modern women,
with an earnestness that argties their belief in
the theory that the doctrine of total depravity is
applicable only to the female sex. The Sat
urday Review only concretes this senti
ment, and gives it able expression, and it
is not surprising that its views have been
widely copied in the newspapers of this
country, and placed by the side of those pop*
nlar moral essays which instruct women m
the art of getting . husbands, and keeping
them; dilate upon the fact that her .“sphere”
is by the “domestic hearth,” and teach her
that her highest 'aim in, life should be to
patch trousers nicely and "'make good bread.
Sensible women, and men too, are disgusted,
at this impertinent lecturing from men who
will do well to care for their own duties m
life, and with this fault-finding on the part of
those who do not demonstrate their own
matchless excellence as the token of their
authority to teach virtue
The fact, is, that women are better, socially,
morally, intellectually and politically, than
tbeybave ever been in the history of the
world. Society has progressed,; and has
, reached abigher plane than it ever before has
done. No man can deny that its general tone i
is purer and healthier; that vice and immor
ality cannot penetrate to it unless in disguise,
and that a regard for religious and moral duty
is its prevailing sentiment. - And if society
. has advanced, women must have advanced
with it. It is impossible that they should at
the same time either have stood still or
tetrogadea. They are an integral por
tion of society. They are the most important
portion of it. Men do n6t give society its
character and tone. Women do. Women
make.social lifewhat it is,and if it is pure and
beautiful now, it is because its most import
ant constituent part is so. If it . depended
upon men for its morality, it is to be feared,
alas! that it would be much lower
level. Every thinking man knows this, and
all men recognize it by their jealousy of the
purity of women, and their demand that they
-shall he superlatively good. This very outr
cry against them is ah evidence of man's
sensitiveness to their slightest lapse from his
high ideal..
-furtherevidence of this relation of women
to social life ib found in- their condition in the
various stages of civilization. In Bavage life,
where they are slaves and beasts of burthen,
excluded from the exercise of any good in
-fluence by the humility of their position, men
are brutes. When in the middle ages they
assumed the character of pretty playthings,
men began to cultivate some of the decencies
of Jifc, and to practice the rough virtues;
■when, as in the 17th century, women in the
higher ranks of life were kept in elegant in
dolence and ignorance, men were polished
debauchees. But when men began to re
cognize women as important and responsible
members of society, with acute intellects and
rare intrinsic, excellences, and they were edu
cated and, admitted as men’s equals—socially
~r at least—the whole form of civilization
changed, and the world advanced with vaster
etrides-thanevri before. If they, and society
with them, have not attained highest perfec
tion yet, it is because men will not see the
inevitable dependence of effect upon cause,
preferring rather to complain of the good
quality of the thing they have, than to en
deavor to make it better. For the upward
progress of the sex does depend somewhat
upon the enlightenment ot man kind. In
some degree women conform to men’s indis
’ tihet conceptions of what they should be. If
they are frivolous idlers, it is because men tie
their handß and couple a certain degradation
with that labor '/which is thought honorable
for men, but improper for women, 'jlf
they are bad, it is because men close
-all the avenues of trade, all the learned pro
fessions, all the mechanic arts to them, and
by excluding them from the great opportunity
and confining them to a harrow field of labor,
at the same time depreciating the value of
their work, drive them to ruin and despair.
Wel&e not entirety civilized yet. There is
in ebriety' a grealpeal of that coarse chivalry
which, in the huddle ages, honored woman
in the drawing room and. kicked her in the
kitchen. When idleness is as (liscreditable
in women as ,it is in men, and labor is com
pensated for its quality, and not for any dis
tinction of sex, it will be time enough for men
to grumble, if women are not among mortals
the very nearest to angels.
But the fault finders have little ground to
stand upon as it is. As women are the~coa
, servators of the morals of Boeiety, so are
they the executive agents of what active
>’ T goodness it possesses. Two-thirds of the
- church members are women; they are the
; . - most consistently pious persons ir every
Community.lt has been Well said, that cne
reason why there will'be no marrying or
giving in marriage in Heaven, is, that the
women will so largely outnumber the men

every ,*6bjnnirimty the£ are the ministers of.
good, going about nursing the rick, garing
for the. Buffering, and supplying the wants of
the" naked and hungry; • And, as the late
war fully demonstrated,, they flo .flot hci9 ‘'
tate in great national emergencies 1d assume
labors more abundant, make hoblPr sacrifices,
and exhibit even more unselfish devotion:
than the men. The man who can think of
these things and then decry, the. women of the
present day, is not honest; he who cannot think
of them and at the same time presumes to pen
philiipics against them, is a fool. It will be
a sad day for the world, and there will be a
melancholy prospect; for our children, when
women reach tho level to which these wri
ters wonld drag them. As it is, they , progress
.with our civilization and in precisely .the
samp ratio, and each year brings to them
higher duties, larger liberty, greater cultiva
tion and a nearer approach to their destined
porition as the most important and responsi
ble half of humanity.
'/' PABI¥ SIONS AND EMBLEMS. _
Emergencies are said invariably to bring
forth men and things that are equal to them.
By this token there seems to be no end to
the resources of American politics and Ameri
can politicians, particularly in respect to
visible signs and emblems. In our earlier
presidential contests French politics became
so mingled with American affairs that the
tri-colored cockade was adopted as the badge
of one of the contending parties. While the
Jefferson Democrats were ’sporting the red,
white and blue, the Adams Federalists deco
rated their hats and the lappels of their coata
with the black cockade; and in the good old
times when party feeling ran high, the com
mon battle-ground in front of the State-
House, upon election days, was the scene of
many a hard scuffle, wherein cockades were
tom from hat-crowns and trampled under
foot, as banners were torn and trailed in dust
in more ancient and perhaps more chivalrous
times. In those primitive presidential con
tests the services of the poetic muse were
invoked to give life and spirit to election cam
paigns, and doggerel verses that made up in
scandaj and broad hits for what they lacked
in rhyme and rythm Were published upon
broadsides and sung in the streets.
The canipaign which resulted in the elec
tion of General Jackson was the first of
American presidential struggles wherein tan
gible things were displayed as emblems of
principles and- men. Jackson s soubriquet
of “Old Hickory” ' doubtless furnished
the original hint, and great was the
demand among the “unterrified for
hickory poles with which to grace taverns
and party headquarters. Cotton bales, as a
reminder of New Orleans, were also in de
mand. The Adams men tried to offset the
luckory poles and cotton bales, by erecting
liberty poles with their summits graced with
the orthodox cap; but liberty poles and caps
were too old-fashioned and slow for the rug
ced hickory, and the latter swept the country
froip Maine to the Gulf of Mexico. The’ car
icature was also a potent weapon of oflence
and defence in those days, and engravers and
lithographers were kept busy in getting up
pictorial lampoons. Politics also ran largely
in the line of transparencies in hiokory and
cotton-bale times, and Jackson as soldier,
farmer and statesman Was made to grace the
headquarters of the Democracy. With such
material signs and emblems, and such in
spiriting battle-cries as “Remember New
Orleans,” “Beauty and Booty," “Down
with the Bank!” and “Old Hickory forever!”
defeat was out of the question.
The political friends of General Harrison
were not slow to profit by the hickory-pole
hint, and they improved largely upon it.
Log cabins, coon-skins, and hard-eider were
the visible signs and emblems of Whiggery,
and the “Sage ot Kinderhook” went down
before these potent influences, that were
made still moi\e powerful by the multitudi
nous rhyming effusions that sung the praises
ot
“Tippecanoe and Tyler too.”
The Clay campaign brought forth repre
preseptative “Mill-bpys of the Slashes,” and
it would have been an incomplete and un
satisfactory Whig turn-out that did not have
in the ranks at least one young gentleman well
dusted ■frith flour, mounted upon an
old horse, and, making a side-saddle
of an empty sack. The Polkiteß
adopted ‘•poke-berries” as the neatest
thing they could contrive as a party emblem.
Poke-berries carried the day against Mill
boys, notwithstanding the fact that the en
thusiastic . Whigs of the' time actually
achieved a-rhyme on the names of their
nominees, and sung it to music.
11 Seo our hopes are all a risin'
For Henry Clay and Frelinghuysen,”
•was the way it was done ; but the rising
“hopes were doomed to fall again, “Cayuga
Bridge ” being the stumbling point at which
Whig hopes failed and the poke-berry star
gained the ascendant.
The Fremont and Buchanan struggle ran
mostly in'the way of campaign songs and
torch-light processions. Buck’s antlers were
adopted as the sign-manual of the Democracy,
and- they - certainly gored the Republican
candidates to their undoing.
By the time the first Lincoln campaign
came around the torchlight procession busi
ness had been elevated to a fine art. “Invin
cible” young Republicans mounted uniform
caps and capeß, and torch in hand,
nightly performed marches and evo- ;
j lutions that would have done credit
to thoroughly drilled soldiers. Fence-railß
and mauls, as Indicative of rail-splitting,
were carried in the serried ranks of enthusias
tic Republicans; and Douglas, Breckinridge
and McClellan successively made but feeble |
resistance to good Abraham "Lincoln, with"
his “invincible” friends, and his rail-splitting
and fiat-boating heraldic bearings.
We are hbw about 'Entering on a hew'
Presidential campaign, and the friends of the
candidates who have thus far been nomi
nated are already casting about them for
signs and emblems. In the State of New
York a club has been formed which calls
its members “Tanners,” and which re
quires the wearing of a leather apron

Grant bae the good lock to have said some
''good things which will tell, well as party
catch-words and rallying cries. “I mean to

will be gof off with telling effect; while the
Democratic nominee, whoever he pray chance
to be, will constantly be reminded that Gene
ral Grant “proposes to move upon his works
-at once.” The struggle will be a spirited one,
and while the patriot will feel a deep interest
in the importance of the issues involved,
every appreciative- person will be amused
with the humors oi the campaign and will
1 find material for speculation and thought in
its visible signs and emblems. ;
AIUEBICAN A.UOIEWCES. .. .
One of the most .singular phenomena con
nected with the social life of America Is the
uniform stolidity of-the audiences at places
ofpublic entertainment. With rare excep
tions, anything like a real outburst of enthu
siasm over a favorite actor, an eloquent
orator, or a striking: spectacle is unheard of.
A round of applause sometimes follows a
happy hit, but eveh this is only evoked under
very unusual pressure. As amle, an Ameri
can audience pay for their admission and.
then settle themselves down to be
amused -as seriously as possible.'
Excitement is not elegant. Enthusiasm is
not quite genteel. It is not fashionable to be
demonstrative; and this being a free and inde
pendent country no, one feels quite at liberty
to be natural until perfectly satisfied that his
or her neighbor will approve or second the
demonstration. Illustrations of this remarka
ble coldness of American audiences are of
daily occurrence, andthere is rarely a for
eigner who comes to this country, represent
ing any branch Of literature or art, who is not
painftdly. impressed with the defect of our
audiences in this respect- -
This<S point was strikingly illustrated on
the occasion of Mrs. Kemble’s recent appear
ence at the Academy of Music. , The occa-
sion was, in all respects, eminently calcul
ated to awaken the utmost enthusiasm.
The audience was composed of the most
intelligent and refined men and women of
Philadelphia. All that Mrs. Kemble’s great
powers could add to the genius Of Shakes
peare; all that exquisite music and beauti
ful flowers could convey to the senses; all
that the presence'.of the lineat representa
tives of Pennsylvania’s dead soldiers
could impress upon the patriotic hearts
of ,pur people, were blended to
gether in one spell of enchant
ment, whose influence wa3 felt by every
man and woman in the crowded
house. But how did it affect the audi
ence? • As the hundred orphan boyß marched
upon the stage with their martial music and
their honored flag, and' stood before the
assemblage, a living monument to a hundred
brave men scattered in distant graves, Mrs.
Kemble, with true English instinct, rose to
receive them,'but the audieiice, though moved
to tears-at the touching exhibition, sat still
in 'their seats. There was a clapping of
hands, and a universal indication of deep
sympathy and interest toward the little fel
lows, but there was not that spontaneous up
rising to greet this visible presentation of our
great national idea, that would have been
seen in any other part of the civilized world
but America. It was natural for our people
to sit, still and look on as spectators, intensely
interested, and it was equally natural for the
Englishwoman to rise to her feet and thus do
honor to the memories of the soldiers who
died for American liberty. The
American character is not devoid
of enthusiasm, but American society
is, aB yet, under the domination of certain/ 7
subtle conventionalisms that suppresses, any
general and hearty exhibition of that enthu
siasm. The case just referred to waS'not a
peculiar one, but.owing to the strong incite
ments that existed for an open manifestation
of the deep feeling of the audience, the sup
pression of any such marked demonstration
j aB Mrs. Kemble invited by her example forms
I a good illustration of this well-known habit
j of American audiences, which, one of these
i days, we shall outgrow.

Tlie Kingston, mass., Murder.
f Plymouth. Mnes. (Jane S), correepondence of the Boston
Post!
In the case of Samuel Andrews, charged with
the murder of Cornelius Holmes, at Kingston,
the prisoner has waived an examination and now
awaits the actlon of the Grand Jury, which sits
at Plymouth on Tuesday next, although It Is uu
' . derstood that no action will be taken in his case
until the other business shall have been disposed
of. Although nothing but circumstantial evi
dence has yet been discovered, recent develop
ments tenet strongly to connect Andrews with
the murder. In at conversation with him
■ 'at the jail yesterday, an intimate friend (also a
relative) informed him that he came to assist
bim. -that he did.! ppt believe him guilty, and
~ , would do all that ne could to enable him to prove
" his innocence, when he eras astonished by the
. following reply: “They may coniine mo or hang
me, but I’ll never confess it.” A pair of rubber
*• . overshoes have been discovered in a closet where
.Andrews kept his clothes in Newcomb's fac-
tory (at which place he was employed), covered
• with mud, corresponding with the soil or. jus
garden, also with .blood and gray hairs.
A. rail was also : discovered- ln Andrews's fence
' —— this morning, by Mr. Kingston, having
marks of blood upon It,apparently made by the
fingers of-the murderer.. Andrews is Visited
dally by a large number of friends and appears
. 'quite calm, although it has been ascertained that
' -• he has been constantly under the Influence of
’ - - ether for several weekssbeingiiow,-however, de
prived of-the use of. it by order of Sheriff Bates.
;; Public opinion, in. Kingston and vicinity, which
' was at first,very favorable towards Andrews, has
■ . nowondorgone a.deciclecLchangc.as new circum
■ ' stances, are daily discovered which leave very
■ ' : ; ' little doubt as to his guilt.

This has been a broken day in the market for govern

Treasury at 2 o’clock and the formal adjournment or toe
Sold room at 1 out of respect to the memory of ex Preai
ent Buchanan. Strong efforts were made to bear down
prices during theiorenoon by some of the dealers, who,
having sold out, were anxious to buy at the decline: out
quotations yielded very tlightly,and there win an absence
of prceßure to sell in the afternoon, while before the close
