Majority
Another Democratic Plana !Movement
Proposed—Grant to Deceive the
13nanimons Vote of, the Electoral Col
lege.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York HeraUlu this doubtful story :
The movement in favor of giving Grant the
unanimous vote of the Electoral College seems
to be assuming a shape that promises results.
Several Democratic politicians, mostly from the
South, have put their heads together and agreed
to recommend to the Electors of the States which
have given Seymour a majority to cast their
votes in favor of Grant for President. They urge
this step as a grand stroke of policy for the De
mocrats to'rulopt at the present juncture. By
casting aside party considerations in thls in
stance and giving Grant a , unanimous vote for
the Presidency they contend he would be lifted
above all petty distinctions of Democrat, Repub
lican, Conservative and Radical, and made to
feel that he is the President of the whole people,
and as such free to deal with the issues of the
hour in a spirit of enlarged and liberal states
manship. Acting upon this idea—which, by the
way, was thrown out in these despatches some
weeks ago—these Democratic politicians have
prepared a number of letters, addressed to lead
ing' men North and South. suggesting the prompt
adoption of this plan. The following Is a copy
of one of these letters, which has been shown
tome:
"WAsniimroN g D. C.,!Nov. 8, 1868.—General—
In my judgmentthe wisest thing the Democracy
could now do would be to throw their entire
electoral vote for General Grant, as indicative of
the fact that should he pursue a liberal, generous
and magnanimous course they will sustain him.
It would also have the effect of not having him
altogether in the hands of the adverse faction,
and would doubtless strengthen any purpose he
may, entertain towards the conservative send-
Went of the country. This vote cannot possibly
do Seymour any good,and thrown in 'the manner
suggested would at least, produce a conciliatory
•Inipression."
Letter - a slnillar to this - have been sent to Gov.
Stevenson, of Kentucky; A. H. Stephens, of
Georgia; Wade Hampton, General .Gordon, Gen.
'Preston, Robert', Tyler, of Alabama, and es-
Senator C. C. Clay. - These are all Southerners,
but lam informed prominent democratic politi
cians in the North have also been notified of the
movement and urged to go into it promptly.
Southern View of the Situation.
Under the title of "A Political Honeymoon,"
the Richmond Enquirer of the 9th inst. has the
'following article upon the recent contest and its
results:
The Emperor of the French, In speaking of
-Spanish affairs -the other dayria - reportedlrrhave
said that the Spaniards were enjoying a ,"revoin
tionary heneymoon." He alluded to the public
tranquillity which succeeded the dethronement of
the fipaniah sovereign, and the mutual good-will
which thereafter seemed to pervade the laconic of
that peninsula. We may adapt the idea to the
present condition of public sentiment among
"oar Northern brethren." They really seem to be
having a sort of political honeymoon among them
selves. Something more than the mere suidt of
mutual toleration seems to exist betweeff the
two great parties lately arrayed against each
other in the North, in what we were assured was
to be an enduring struggle between irreconcilable
adversaries. But ff we judge from the almost
'universal shout with which the successful war
rior's civil triumph has been hailed, we shall con
c exults
ender rit Leo is almolt --- 0 - a unanimous in rejoic
ing over the defeat of Seymour. Their ante-elee
, tion denunciations 'of Grant, and loud
acclni for Seymour, are to be taken
in a l'ickwicklan sense, as also are
their protestations of devotion to principleii The
bunting and illuminations, which cost so much
money, - the 'peripatetic dispensers of "Demo 7
credo" doctrines, arid the "wild enthusiasm,"con
'earning which we have heard so' much; have rill'
' , vanished on been put-away like the'
properties; having, served . the - 'purposes of the
- mimic fray. Instead, we are told that "Seymour
and Blair Clubs" in some places now parade in
the Radical ranks, - joining in • the • choral chant
over Grant and Cplfax, and bearing
their old transparencies, repainted with the love
liest legends of fraternity.. ;hi other places pro
minent "Democraticl leaders like Vallandigham,
: for instance, =give tongue to= their satisfaction,
and predict the transfer of the whole party to the
support of the successful Deneral. Even in the
"nation's capital" some of our , "Democratic"
organs have begun to set their .pipes to triumphal
tunes, and have made ready to " take , position "
in the ranks of the " conquering hero when he
"comes."

Should we come to biqtdris tho meaning of
them political phenomena - and the cause of this
amethystine loveliness in the political atmo
aphere,we would not long have the answer with
held. lris, that 4rt the 'North the Presidential
election was really regarded ass sectional comsat,
and all sides are ready to shout for the result as a
sectional triumph. When we ask the fate of the
principles involved, we shall be told, as Mr.
Toots would say, that it Is of "no consequence,"
and we shall find, - sooner Or later, that - the COM
balanta whom we anxiously watched in their ap
parent fierce encounter were really only wrest
ling in mimic fray upon an arena which they had
previously prepared for the occasion by o perip
terlotes process, known only to themselves and
the makers of feather-beds. A fall doesn't hurt
them In the least. •
Let u/3 Vary the figure. To our apprehension
the contest in the North resembles a fierce com
bat between a crowd of felonious old rats who
have made their way into the interior of a ple
thoric cheese, and only contend , for precedence
In taking the first nibbles. It doesn't matter
'with them whose cheese it is, nor who starves '
on the outside. They know that it is large
enough for all of them and are content to share'
it in harmony after their frolicsome fighting.
We of the South do not get even a taste of' the
rind.

j Victor Hugo to the Spanish Nation.
; Victor Hugo has issued an address to the Span
ish nation, which concludes as follows:
The Spanish people is being reanimated; will
it be petty in Its revival, or will it be great? Such
is the question. To resume its rank, Spain has
the power, and it can again become the equal of
France and of England. An immense offer of
Providence! The opportunity is unique. • Will
Spain allow it to escape? An additional monarchy
on the continent, of what use ! Spain subject to
a king, himself subject to the Powers; what a
falling away. ! Besides, to establish a monarchy
at present is to undertake a work which will
last only a short time. A republic In
Spain would be a loud warning to Europe;
and such a menace addressed to kings is peace; It
would be France and Prussia neutralized, and be
tween the military monarchies impossible for the
sole fact of the revolution being present; a muzzle
placed upon Sadowa as upon Austerlitz, the per
spective of butcheries replaced by that of labor
and fecundity; Chassepota set aside in the interest
of the Jacquard-loom; it would be the equilibrium
of the Continent suddenly achieved at the expense
of fictions by the weight of truth In the balance.
It would be that old Power, Spain regenerated
by the youthful force, the people; iewould be, in
point of view of marine and commerce, life re,.
stored to that double seacoast which reigned in
the Mediterranean before Venice, and on the
ocean before England; it world be industry
swarming where wretchedness Ilea rotting. Cadiz
tqual to Southampton, Barcelona to Liverpool, -
Madrid to Paris. It would be Portugal at a
elven moment turning toward Spain by the sole
attraction of light and prosperity. Liberty is'
the loadstone of annexations. A republic in
Spain would be the establishment, pure and sim
ple, of the sovereignty of man over himself—a
sovereignty which M Indisputable and 'cannot be
put to the vote; it would be production without
tariff, consumption without customs' duties, cir
culation without bonds,_ the workshop Without
Proletarianism, wealth -without.' parasit
ism, Conscience without prejudices, speech
without • a gag, law 'without lies, strength
without an army, and , brotherhood without
Cain. . -It' would be work for all, in
struction for all, Justine for ~all, the scaffold
for,none. It would be the files ) become
palpable, anti, as there is a guiding swallow, so
there would be an exemplar nation. Of danger,
none. Spain a citizen fa Spain powerful; Spain
democratic is Spain a citadeL The republic in
Spain would be probity administering, truth
governing, liberty reigning; It would be the in
expugnable soyereign reality , liberty is tranquil
because she is invincible, and Invincible because
she is contagions. Whoever attacks gains her.
The army sent
,against her rebounds upon the
despot. That is why she is left in peace. The
republic in Spain would be on the horizon
the irradiation of, the True, a promise for all, a
menace to evil alone; it would be that giant the
Right, erect in Euree, behind the barricade of
the Pyrenees. If S p ain once more becomes a
monarchy she is pet ; if a republic, great. Let
tier choose!

Mr. Johnson. and Mr. Laird, AG P.
LFrom the London Star, Oct. 260
The question as to whether or not Mr. Jo .
Laird, M. P., should be' present at the banquet
given by the American Chamber of Commerce t at
Liverpool, on Thursday, has been a most fruitful
subject of debate •at Liverpool, not only in the
press, but on 'Change, and among all classes of
society in Liverpool and Birkenhead. The pros
and cons of, the case may be thus stated : The
American Chamberlof Commerce consists almost
exclusively of merchants engaged with North
America, and the majority of them are
(or were) strong Northerners. In
making out the list of guests to
be invited to meet the American Ambassador, it
.and covisable,--Dartieuhnigtur election-I
rids, to likvite - the members, bah in esse
and In posse, and Mr. Laird, being still the mem
ber for Birkenhead, it was impossible to omit
him.' As soon as it was known that he had been
invited, he was taken to , task very sharply by
many Liberal papers, both in London, Liverpool
and elsewhere, and 'whatever his privatelbedngs
may have ' been, it became - almost ' inapossblelor'
him to avoid being presentat-,t,he lanquet with
out even tacitly acknowledging himself; guilty of
the grave aectufatioris made against him, or leav
ing himself open as the tirget for ,•,even, more
violent attacks. At all events Mr. Laird accepted
tbe invitation, and went - to the banquet.
When; be entered ~ room A Ito sappeared •
somewhat nervous and flurried; 'but several of
his friends at once entered into conversation
with him, and after.ntrief interval qf suspense
the American Ambassador sked to be introduced
to. Mr. Laird.""rThe introduction OVer;-Mr.:John
eon said.. he was very.glad to make Mr.,Laird's.
acquaintance; thatte - bnit °bine tci ; England ail a

that Mr. Laird joined Mr. Johnson's party during
an excursion on the river. .
The Settlement ;or the r Alabama
", (Front the London Observer of October 25.1
Notwithstanding the curt contradiction given
by the Globe to the statement of the Daily Nem
"that it has been agreed •between - . Lord Stanley
and Mr: Reverdy, Johnson that the respective
claims of British subjects and Amexican• citizens
arising out of the Southern rebellion shall be
'determined by an international commission,
composed of an equal •number of British and
American members," we are ABl3tged that the im
portant announcement, la substantially true;;
inasmuch as the approval of the Ameri
can, Government is alone required to: render
the Arrangement between Lord Stanley and. Mr.
Reverdy Johnson complete. We have also reason
to believe that Lord Stanley is willing not only
"that the British and American claims arising
out of the late civil war in the United States shall
be adjuited by a mixed commission, to sit in
London,' , but that he is also willing to submit to
the arbitration of the Emperor of Russia the
'knotty question, "whether the sailing of the Ala
bama .frorn Liverpool was or was not a breach of
international law." Should the Czar decide in
the negative, the 'United States will withdraw the
so-called Alabama claims. In the contrary case,
these claims will be examined and adjusted by a
mixed commission, which will sit in either case

Illness of the Pope—Convocation of
Cardinals*
The Pope has lately summoned to Rome Dr.
Malagadi, of Fano, a physician in whom he has
• great confidence, and who has carefully examined
his kg. The frequent suppuration is regarded by
the doctor as, a bad symptom, and he is under
stood to have spoken despondingly of the Pope's
condition. The Holy Father, however, is very
active, and appears to be in good health'.
The Rome correspondent of the Pall Mall Ga
zette Says:
I am still without positive confirmation of the
statement as to the the, made by Count Ar-'
mend to the Pope to cede to Italy the provinces
of Frosinone and Velletri ; but an extraordinary
convocation of the cardinals was held at the
can a.few days ago, and there is no doubt that the
Pope laid before them a copy of a note addressed
by General Menabrea to the Italian Ambassador
at Paris.
lloebefort and Isabella's Loves,
The following extract from the last number o
• the Lanterne gives a solution of the reported duel
between Senor Marfori and M. De Rochefort, on
Saturday, Oct. 17:—
An innocent plaisanterie inserted in the last
Lanterne gave rise to a supposition that Mr. Mar
fora, of Spain, seriously intended to send me a
provocation, and as distance enlarges - objects
even when not repeated, the rumor eoon pin
ground that I had engaged in a duel with pistols
with that milk sop, from which I returned with
a broken collar bone. My two collar bones are
intact, and Marfori never intended to demand
satisfaction. This 113 the &nth. Besides if such
a whim should seize him I think I can do much
for him, by simply requesting my friend Brdbaut
to serve him np a la maitre d'hatel.
DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
—Messrs. Bentz and Hasaler's fourth orchestral
matinee, at Musical Fund Hall on Saturday, at
tracted an audience nearly as large as that which
attended upon the preceding week. The per
formance was very satisfactory. Mozart's so
calltd "Jupiter" Symphony occupied the first
place upon the programme, and it was admirably
executed ; the only fault worth remarking being
an occasional want of precision and unanimity
among the various instruments. But in an or
chestra selected from miscellaneous sources, and
brought together only upon occasions, this is
perhaps unavoidable. It was not a very grievous
defect, at any rate, and probably did not give
offence even to the most critical and fastidious
listener. This symphony can never excite as
much enthusiasm in a promiscuous audience
as the Reformation—Symphony of Mendels
sohn, given last week. -It is more intri
cate and elaborate ; it has profounder
meaning; the harmonies are more learned and
more peculiar; and the theme is not as boldly ob
vious. To appreciate and enjoy this work
_prop
erly, a higher degree of culture is demanded than
is usually found, excepting among Profeasional
musicians and very accomplished amateurs. But
it is well for those who have musical taste and
inclination, to hear just such compositions as
this, that - they may be educated up to its level.
Managers hardly dare undertake such schoolmas
tership unless they lighten the lesson with more
popular music, and on Saturday Messrs. Bentz
and Hassler had, for their dessert for this repast,
a fantasies for the violoncello; one of Strausa's
waltzes, a fiambeati dance and a march.
The most attractive of these afteypieces was
the violoncello solo by.. Mr.. RudolpltHennig, who--
made his debut in Philadelphia at this concert.
Mr. Henn* played with most exquisite grace and
feeling, and established himself at once in the
favor of his audience. He is destined to be very
popular, and he richly deserves to be. He cert
ainly is without an equal in this city now, and
we question if he has ever had a superior among
our resident Musicians. His playing is charac
terized by breadth and strength of tone, by un
sual power of expression, by delicacy and
ethos, and by a depth of passionate feeling
ich belong only to a genuine, devoted artist.
. Hennig will play at Mr. Wolfsohn's concerts
ng the winter, and upon other occasions in
Ile, and we warmly recommend him to those
are fond of hearing that most eloquent of
ged instruments, the violoncello. It is nn
/lad that - Messrfk - Sentz -- & - ffassler will rep t.

—Arrangements have been made by the Young
Mainnerchor to give a concert in Musical Fund
Hall on the 19th inst. The reputation of the so
ciety% a sufficient guarantee that the affair will
be a very fine one. Twelve choruses, written, by
a distinguished German composer, especially for
the Society, have recently been received. Some

also be solos by Mr. Wm. Hartmann, the leader,

FINE•ART GOSSIP.
Water-color art is all the rage among the New
York painters.
The Artists' Fund Society will open an exhibi
tion of oil paintings and water colors on or about
the 24th inst.
We have seen the Album prepared by the artists
of the Fund for their subscribing members. It is
admirable. The photographs, which follow the
nicest half-tints of the originals with unfailing
comprehension, are the work of J. Moran, Esq.,
the only truly artistic photographer we know of
in the country. They are taken from grisaille
paintings done upon canvas, the colors having
been mixed simply with turpentine to avoid the
gloss of oil, which would have interfered with
the copying. The following are the subjects:
Schussele; "Expectation," a woman classically
drawn, interrupting her- toilet to look from the
window. Her costume is German. and a glimpse
of roofs like those of Nuremberg appeitr.thrOugh
the casement: this is a. rounded, masterly, firm'
sketch. •
L L. Williams; "Wind storm." Figure climb
ing a path between trees that twist in' tho gale;
Mr. Williams his changed his usual forte, and
produced a bit of vigorous effect.
G. C. Lambdln; "A Good Day for Sunnies."
Three figures on a rustic bridge, angling for sun
fish: .one of the good: things of the book, success
ful effect of a murky. warm day.
Thomas MOran; "The Pictured Rocks of Lake
SuPerlor;" a fine, drop-curtain sort of composi
tion.
• D. R. Knight; "The Inventor." Every once in
a whlle this artist astonishes us by coming out
in an unaccountable genre. An American pain
ter, brought up, in Paris, where on earth has he
found this thoroughly English conception, the
figures in which ought to have been drawn by
Muiready? Here we have the thin, flat shading,
the defectively-accented outline apparently cut
out with scissors, and the characteristic poses, of
some contemporary of Sir David Wilkie. A pe
culiar preeoness belongi to this little sketch,
so unlike an American drawing. You would ac
cuse (ourself of having cribbed some furtive and
costly English crayon of the beginning of the
etntnry, from the portfolio of a collector. The
figure of the old man, immersed in study
and surrounded by strange machinery, while his
patient child warms herself at the furnace which
contains his crucibles, tells a plain and moving
story.
W. T. Richards; "Jnngfrau" in the distance.
A minute but broad landscape. The painter ap
pears to have transplanted some of the decorous
Germantown trees he loves so well to the valley
of Lauterbriannen. It is perfectly characteristic,
and a picture fall of fluttering life,
Peter Moran; A stampede of .cattle before a
storm. Amass otviolent wooden cows in zoo
chattical motion, suggesting a Noah's ark upset
under a fire-plug.
S. J. Feiris; "Agrippina in the Camp
of the Rebellions Romans." A strong draw
ing of a female plebeian of the Roman
period, clenching a magnificent fist, while with
the other hand she clasps the laughing infant
Caligula. A hard, firm crayon, cut up with little
spotty triangular shadows.
W. H. Willcox; "The Roadside Spring." tin
worthy.
E. Moran; "Lost at Sea." Effective and to the
point. A man tossing on a mast in the focus of an,
absoltitely lonely horizon. The easy touches of
Mr. Moran are photographed., so minutely and
mosaically by his brotherthat you could count
the number of times the brush was laid to the
canvas.
S. A. Waugh; "Winter;" a very good head,
photographed from a painting in colors.
Hamilton--, our — old friend, the Shipwreck
scene from David Uopperlield. reduces and
photographs - remarkably well.
N. 11, Trotter. Noonday effect with sheep.
The most manly and vigorous bit of work we
ever eaw from Mr. Trotter's brush.
T. Henry Smith : "Castle Building." Culpa
bly careless.
S. Sartain ; "The Little Mariners." A fair
coast-scene, with very white figures, and very
black thunder-cloud rolling away in a crescent.
E. B. Bensell ; "Serenade."
Faulkner ; he has allowed hi's handsome paint
ing of the Glenieloraine River to bo copied for the
Album,:_m place pfpreparinganythkg expressly._
G.:8. - Wood ; "Twilight." A very good effeel,
arranged in four horizontal stripes across the
picture. Peculiar and sympathetic.
T. J. Fenimore. "Morning on the Lake," with
mist crawling np between the mountains. A
good decorative landscape.
Thesetinete,en subjects place Philadelphia art
in a very favorable position before the eye,though
some of our prominent painters, as Rothermel,
G.Bensell,L6wis, do not participate. The volatile
will come from the binder's hands during this
week, and we believe a few coples will be Ipft,
after the complimentary dietributiOn, for Bale.
-A, story is going the . . rounds of the. English
press, under the head , of "Um:mutable: .no
rante," to the effect that a tea ye a r s
old; examined, at an' inquest on the body, of her
father, could not tell where little girls went who

that having asked a little girl tendered as , a wit

if she told alle, and the child replying "No, sir,"
the 'judge was overheard , 'to'mutter to himself
"No more do I."
