THE THREE LITTLE CHAIRS
They sat alone bYraftfbrlfth - t - wcod - fire,
'The gray-haled dame and the agel sire,
Dreaming of days gone by;
The tear -drops fell on each wrinkled.ctook, ,
They both had thoughts that ihey.eould not
speak, `
48 each heart uttered a sigh,
Fe's . their sad and tearful eyes descried' '
Three little chairs placed side by side, -
Against the sitting room wall;
Old-fashioned enough as there they stood,
Thal-ants of flag and their frames of 'Wood,
With their backs so straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his silvery head,
.Apd with trembling voice he gently said—
Citlier, those empty chairs!-
They bring us such sad, sad thoughts to-night,
We'll put them forever out of sight,
In the small, dark room, up stairs."
But sbe answered, "Father, no, not yet,
For I look at them and I forget
That the children went away.
The boys come back, and our ;Mary, too,
With her apron on of checkered blue,
And sit here finery day.
Johnny still whittles a ship's tall masts,
And Johnny. his leaden bullets , casts,
While Mary her patchwork sews;
At evening time three childish prayers
Go up to God from those little chairs,
, t3O softly that no one knoivs.
Johnny comes back from the billow deep
Willie wakes from his battle-field sleep,
, To say a coed-night to mc; more,
Buta wife and mOther no more,
But a tired child whose play-limo is o'er,
And comes to rest on my knee.
So, let them stand there, though empty now.
end every time when alone we bow
IA the-Father's throne to pray,
We'll ark to meet the children above,
In our Saviour's home of rest and love.
Where no child goeth away."

Some time ago we copied from the London
Athens:cum, of January 16th, 1869, a letter
from Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co., dated I
Philadelphia, January 1, concerning the
coprse of Messrs. Harper & Brothers in re
printing Dilke's "Greater Britain," after it
had.been announced by them, under an agree
ment with Mr. Dilke that they (J. B. Lip
pincott & Co.) should be his American pub
lishers. We invited a reply from Messrs.
Harper & Brothers, and we have received
froth them an advance copy of one that is to
abpear in the next Hal per's Weekly. Omit
ting the letter of Messrs. J. B. Lippincott &
Co.,.which our readers have already seen, we
copythe reply of Messrs. Harper & Brothers,
asfollows
The avowed object of this lette ris to
place its authors "right before the public;" in
other words, to present themselves to public
attention as scrupulously honorable publish
ere : in contralitwith the Messrs. Harper,whom
the letter accuses of violating the courtesies
of the trade; and that the public judgment may
be fully informed, we subjoin the whole eor
respondence.
From this we think it appears:
.Mrst—That when the Messrs. Harper
began,the printing of the book they were en
tirely ignorant of the intention of Messrs;
Lippincott & Co. to publish it.
Second—That Messrs. Lippincott & Co.
did not make use of the ordinary and recog -
nized channel of the trade to announce their
intention.
Third—That the Messrs. Harper did not
persist in their determination to publish, but
offered to withdraw upon condition that the
edition of Messrs. Lippincott & Co. was
printed in this country, and upon payment of
the small expense already incurred.
The allusion to Bulwer's novels in-the let
ter of the Messrs. Harper is due to the fact
that, notwithstanding the mutually Batista:-
tory arrangement between Lord Lytton and
the Messrs. Harper, his works have been re
published by Messrs. Lippincott &, Co.; a
proceeding in plain violation of the courtesies
of the trade, and the necessary tendency of
which is to destroy the remuneration of the
foreign author.
PmI.►DELPHIA, Dec. 4, 1868. Messrs.

The correspondence here ended
That Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co. may
be enabled still further "to place themselves
right before the public," we subjoin some
extracts from a correspondence, which will
HARPER AS BROTHERS
show :
Ist. That in September last the Messrs.
Harper arranged with Messrs. Macmillan &
Co., of London, to publish from early sheets
and electrotypes Sir Samuel Baker's "Cast up
by the Sea."
2d. That in October Messrs. Lippincott &.
Co. were informed of this arrangement by
Messrs. Macmillan & Co.
3d. That, by an error of shipment, the
electrotypes were sent to Messrs. Lippincott
& Co., instead of the Messrs. Harper.
4th. That in December Messrs. Lippincott
& Co. received them, and, knowing that
they were intended for the Messrs. Harper's
edition of the work, withheld them; and in
January published the book themselves, at a
low price.
sth. That not until a month after the issue
of their edition did Messrs. Lippincott & Co.
inform the Messrs. Harper that they had in
their possession electrotypes which they
knew, when they received them, were in
tended for the Messrs. Harper, to enable
them to fulfill their engagement with Sir
Samuel Baker's English publishers.
From Messrs. Macmillan & Co.to Messrs.
Harper ct! Brothers, Sept. 30, 1868.
In reply to your letter:of Ist inst.,proposing
two alternatives for Sir Samuel Baker's 'Cast
up by the Bea," we choose the first, viz.: to
deliver the early sheets and electros free of
expense and sufficiently in advance of Eng
lish publication to admit of simultaneous issue
in America; and a royalty of 10 per cent. on
your retail price for all copies of the work
sold for five years after publication.
In conformity with this arrangement you
shall very shortly have some of the sheets,
and the electros, which are for full-page illus
trations, will follow.
From Messrs. Harper & Brothers to
Messrs. Macmillan & Co. Jan. 14,1869.
* * * * Though "Cast up by the Bea" has
been reviewed in London, we have as yet no
advice from you of the shipment of the elec
tros. Your last letter on the subject (Nov.
26, 1868) says, "We hope to send you the
electron early next week." Since then we
have heard nothing of them.
The result of this delay and inattention has
been the prior publication of the book by J.
B. Lippincott & Co., of Philadelphia, whose
advertisement, from this morning's paper, we
inclose herewith.
From Messrs. an 4: Co. to
Messrs. HarpeMacmi d:: Br ll others, January
30, 1869.
We have heard with much annoyance that
the parcel of electron of engravings of "Cast
up by the Bea" has been Bent to Messrs. Lip
pincott instead of to you. * * * We can
only say that we regret the accident very
much, and the delay it has caused.
Lippinco tt From Messrs. J. B. (41 (
Messrs. Harper & Brothers, Feb. Yo.
Ito 3,
180.
Some time since we received, without ad
vice, a box containing electrotypes. Believing
it came from Messrs. Macmillan (Sz Co., Lon
don, we advised them of its arrival, and
asked them to give us an explanation, if
they had sent it. We are new advised by
them that the box was intended for you.
From Mr. George Lillie erailc (of
MeasrB. Macmillan (t- Co.) to Messrs.
_Harper cf: Brothers, February 27, 1869.
My partner is writing to you to day, and
will give you the particulars you ask about
Lippincott's receiving the electros of "Cast
up by the Sea." The business has vexed
and annoyed us much. Lippincott was well
aware that we had arranged with you
months before; and we cannot believe that
there could have been any doubt in their
minds about it being an accident, the electros
going to them. I Llame Lippincott—having
had direct information, on the 28th of Oc—
tober, that we had arranged with you—that
he did not act fairly and transfer to you at
once a package obviously intended for you.
In the words of Messrs. J. B. Lippincott &
Co., "We refrain from comment on the facts
now presented."
There will.probably be a rejoinder from
Messrs. J. B.iippincott & Co., to this reply
of Messrs. Harper & Brothers; and until it
appears, we refrain from comment upon the
case as it now stands. The Philadelphia
house is quite able to defend itself against the
charges of the New York house.
LITERARY ITEMS
THE DAILY EVENIN(3I- BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1869.
be adde,'d;:what fills most room) in Mr. Gil
bert's book is the picture of the manners and
history of the time which be,drawa.from cbri
lempory chroniclers. Theile supply - Itim"witir
details of Lucrezia's Millinery , and jewe lry
which, :though sometimes very tedious ' in
their minuteness, are more satisfactory than
his account of her charactiikand'Vith anec
dotes of Ferrarese life and history Which, but
for a plainness of style , that" borders upon
poverty, would be thoroughly 'satisfactory.
We have a sketch of a flourishing Italian city,
under the government - successively of two
comparatively virtuous dukes, the elder,
Ercole, addicted to gorgeous and costly pub
lic shows; the younger, Alfonso, to industry,
mechanics and economy—both to letters and
the fine arts; a city of palicee and pictures,
and at the same timeof _ fortifications and
improved artillery; a city Of scholars, of son
neteere, of stage-playeta; a city where,
although the poor man's careless blasphemy
was punished by a nail driven through his
tongue, the rich man's violence was not
allowed free way; a city •where luxury and
the arts were allied with something like jus
tice and public virtue; the happiest city of
those troubled timerti; and a 'favorable example
of Italy at the Renaissanee. 'And,the idol of
the city for twenty years was Lucrezia
Borgia.
"Our own somewhat puzzled impression
of this eminent lady, judging merely from
the undisputed facts of the case--from the
facts that she lived contentedly as the wife of
three successive husbands, two of them put
away by her father, one murdered by her
brother, at the most profligate Court of the
world; that she lived equally contentedly
afterwards as the wife of one husband at an
orderly Court; that under both conditions she
was thought fit to administer government in
the absence of her male protectors; that un
der the former conditions she was reputed to
combine all the vices of her house, under the
latter all the virtues becoming to a sovereign
princess; that she,
in spite of prejudices,
gained and kept the respect of her fourth
husband's relations—our own impression in
view of these facts has been, and remains
something like this, She must have been
possessed, in the first place, of that gift of
supreme personal fascination which does not
necessarily imply the possession of deep feel
ings; her strongest passions must - have been
physical, and these not ". necessarily very
strong; she must have been cool-headed,
pliable, adapting herself readily to the circum
stances in which she lived, with no strong
natural inclinations either to virtue or vice.
Such a character, joined to the perfection of
beauty, would naturally both take the tone
of its surroundings and be regarded as the
shining and central representative of the
qualities of these surroundings. Lucrezia
Borgia's surroundings at Rome were vicious,
at Ferrara noble. Piety, justice, generosity,
charity, or the ostentation of charity, were as
much the fashion at Ferrara as irreligion,
avarice, lust and the parade of villainy were
the fashion at Rome. Hence she may with
out inconsistency have lived a vicious life at
Rome and a virtuous one at Ferrara, though
in neither case so vicious or so virtuous as
her reputation. She would be on all occa
sions cool; posee, dignified, as we find her.
She would bear herself with equal grace and
facility at the orgies of Alexander, or at the
decorous festivities of Ercole. Her good and
evil deeds would be sure to be alike exag
gerated, since her high rank, not less than her
brilliant personal graces, would add malice
to her slanderers and forwardness to her flat
terers. Mr. Gilbert insists on the spiteful
motives likely to make the Roman writers her
slanderers, but not on the servile motives
likely to make flatterers for her at Ferrara.
Despots, whether benevolent or not, are apt
to become the subjects both of contemporary
and posthumous adulation. Putting aside,
then, what may fairly be set down to the
habit of slander in the one case, and the
habit of flattery in the other, the character of
Lucrezia does not, perhaps, offer a spectacle
of quite irreconcilable contrasts. None of
her virtues seem to be quite incompatible
with the truth of her early reputation for
vice; none of her vices such as quite to belie
her latter reputation, or debar her from the
possession of virtue enough to make a
sovereign princess admired towards middle
age. As to the specific immoralities charged
against her, proof is wanting ; her repug
nance to the crime of incest would probably
be proportioned to the amount of reproach it
involved, and that at the centre of Christi
anity was small; the degree of her complai
sance towards her later admirers would pro
bably depend upon the instance of their de -
mends; and this in the case of Piero Bembo,
afterwards cardinal, was likely to be great."
filoseleals Solemn Mom
The grand performance of this great work
took place at the Italian Opera for the first
time on Sunday last, before a most brilliant
audience. The boxes were full from the roof
to the pit; the salle was one glitter of dia
monds under dazzling gaslight—one wave of
silk, velvet, satin and flowers. It was cer
tainly an imposing spectacle; still, to be sin
cere, this evening was not so satisfactory to a
lover of Rossini as the first rehearsal in the
same house on the preceding evening. Then
the salle was as dark as catacombs, lighted
only by a few lamps which served to show
up the darkness, and a ray of light which,
proceeding from one of the loop-holes
in the upper galleries, fell directly
on Alboni, Krauss, Nicolini and Agnesi in
front of the stage. The background was
completely in the shade, and nothing stood
out behind the principal artists but the mar
ble bust of the departed maestro, crowned
with a wreath of golden laurel. A few guests
and musical critics had been invited, and
were dispersed in different parts of the house;
their presence was scarcely noticed unless
they moved or changed places, and then they
had the appearance of figures feeling about in
mysterious cathedral shade. Although the
choruses at times hesitated, though the artists
often sang their parts mezza voce, admira
tion was sustained from beginning to end,and
when the last piece was over, it was like
going forth from a sublime reverie into
another world. All present met in the outer
corridors with evident traces of emotion on
their faces.
The I?esurrexit and the Sanctus are two
splendid productions; they are truly over
whelming songri_9l - joy; but the Cum Saneto
and 0 Salutarze are written in the other
Rossinian style; they are -.somewhat too
graceful for sacred music, and are certainly
less expressive of religious adoration than of
jubilant delight. A German master would
have felt and illustrated otherwise,
,for these
two pieces beard out of this work would be
called rhythmic dancing music. With this
exception, the whole Mass is in keeping with
the ,Slabat. The Gratiae is superb; it is a
cry of melodious gratitude. It cannot be
denied that the Kyrie and the Christe are
the finest things Rossini has ever composed.
At the performance on Sunday Mme.
Krauss was sublime; her whole soul was
thrown into her part. Albbni, who has lost
none of her prestige, was listened to with ad
miration combined with respect, for the de
votedness shown by her in reappearing be
fore the public for the execution of the great
work of her best friend. Nieolini has Very
little to sing in the partition. Agnes', who
was foimerly a chapel-master, has now ac
quired through the press, the reputation of
the "first psalmist" in Europe. The second
performance is announced for this evening
(Thursday), but it is more probable it will be

The Irish Chuleh Question —Dleraeii 9 e
*lran went.
Louriox,, tar& 18,—In the House of Com
mons to-dayy, the bill for the disestablishment of
Churchthelrieh came up for a second reading.
Mr. Disraeli addressed the House. He com
menced.Ny deciarlag, In the words of Gladstone,
that this question was one of the most gigantic
which had ever been brought before the House,
and its conalderation demanded much sell-con
trol and mutual forbearance. He proceeded to
argue that the connection between Church and
State was a necesseryone.
The former rendered the State religions, invest-
lug its with the highest sanction. This
scheme was likely to destroy religions freedom
, and toleration. it:Was a complete violation of
the rights of private property. Corporate and
private property being Intimately connected, all
acts of spoliation were dangerous. Hitherto they
had been followed' by civil war or something
worse. Former confiseations had only enriched
the land-owner. The strength of Ireland was in
her connection with England.
The majority of the Irish people were discon
tented, and the settlement of the Church question
would be insufficient to quiet their discontent.
The:land question required settlement. The de
tails of this scheme were complicated and delu
sive. The present engagements of the govern
ment with the holders of vested interests ought
to be paid as regularly and promptly as divi
dends. If thew engagements wore compromised,
there could be no security against further spoils.
lion. The proposed grant to Maynooth College
was directly opposed tolhe preamble of the bill.
Mr. Disraeli deprecated the course of the
present government - as in antagonism to the
former policy 01 the Whig party, whose aim was
civil and religions freedom. In conclusion, he
expressed the belief that the bill was most dan
gerous to the country. He felt that be could de
pend upon the prudence and patriotism of Par
liament. He then moved that the bill be read a
second time, six months from to-day.
Mr. Gregory, M. P. for Galway, followed in
reply. He taunted the last speaker with bacon
sisteney,comparing the speech he had just made
with his former declarations, that the Mali
Church was a monstrous griev ce to Ireland.
Mr. Gregory, however, di no unreservedly
aupport the bill. He thought an equitable di
vision of the church property among the three
religious parties preferable to the presen t scheme
of distribution.
Contested Election for Associate Judge
of the District tlourt.
HARRISBURG, March 18.—The closing argu
ment of counsel, In the matter of the contested
election for Associate Judge of the District
Court of Philadelphia, took place here to-day in
the Senate Chamber. The speeches on either side
were efforts of great ability, and presented with
clearness and force the salient points of the testi
mony. The extent and character of the frauds
committed in certain Democratic election divi
sions have been sufficiently exposed to warrant
the assertion that the present incumbent will be
unseated, and Judge Thayer restored to his seat
on the bench. Such, It is confidently believed,
will be the result of the deliberations of the com
mittee of the two Houses of the Legislature upon
the testimony , which has been submitted to them.
The respondent (Judge Greenbank) was repre
sented before the committee by an imposing array
of counsel, as follows. Hon. William A. Porter,
Henry M. Huebert, Esq., George Bull, Esq., and
Senator Mclntyre, of Perry. On the part of
Judge Thayer, J. Alexander Simpson, Esq. (who
has conducted the investigation with character
istic energy and skill), made a plain but power
ful statement of the case. He commented at con
siderable length upon the conduct of the officers
of the election in the Seventh division of Third
Ward, Sixth and Eighth divisions of Fourth
Ward, Sixth and Bev ...nth divisions of Seven
teenth Ward, and Fourth division Twenty-fifth
Ward.
He contended that these officers had almost en
tirely disregarded all the requirements of law with
respect to the reception of votes, and showed, by
the evideuee7bef6xe the committee, that it was
utterly imptiitalblnfor them to have performed the
duties ineuMtmlit Upon them. Referring to the law
in its boating upon the testimony, he cited the
following among a number of authorities : In
Kneass's case, Judge King remarked that the an
assessed vote was the dangerous vote. It was the
vote of a class which could operate not at one poll
alone, but at any poll at which illegal votes could
be taken 'with facility. In Cassidy's case, the late
Judge Thompson uses language to the effect that
had not the Court improvidently struck out of
the petitions certain specifications, instead of
merely deducting the unassessed vote (as the
Court was then compelled to do upon the peti
tion as it stood), they would have struck out the
whole rethrtui from the' divisions complained of.
In tho contested-election cases of 1867 the Court
of Common Pleas (Judges Allison, Peirce and
Brewster, together) agreed in throwing oat the.
Eighth Division of the Fourth Ward, on the
ground of the fraudulent manner In which the
selection was conducted.
Mr, Simpson quoted further from the authori
ties in‘explanation of the right and duty of the
ex committeo to 'reject the returns of an election
which hadA peen proved to be fraudulent. •In
answer to the effort of the other side to induce
the committee to throw, out.the elect,lon returns
•of the Second and Tenth divisions of the First
'Ward, and the Tenth'division of the Nineteenth,
Ward;., he, /asserted that so far as Con.;
eerned ' the first-named division there was
not a shadow - of evidence to implicate
the officers of the election in any manner, shape,
or form. On the contrary, it had been satisfac
torily proved that they had fully discharged the
duties devolving upon them. In the Cll9O of the
Tenth, Division' of. the Nineteenth Ward, the
principal point of, objection was that the judge of
the election was not. authorized to act as such.
But this position Was, in point of fact, entirely
untenable, for Oh person who acted was the only
person who could have acted, and the Court of
Common Pleas subsequently so declared.
If, then, the returns of the different divisions
were corrected In the matter of the 'proved and
admitted errors on.both sides, and the fraudu
lent votes on both sides that had been established;
aid if from the
.returns of the divisions above
referred'io the excess of nitassessed and fraudu
lent votes proved to have been east tor Green
bank were stricken off, then Judge Thayer
would have not lest; thin two hundred majority
The counsel concluded In the followlng.strain;
Tbe time has arrived for every Judge to selk.e
with a ruthless hand the returns of officers of
elections carried on not only without bat against
the provisions of the law. If you.do not do this
and other judges fail in the performance of their
duty. 4, requires no , prophet tongue to tell that,
tbs day is not far distant when the people will
rise in their power and seize the offenders with
the strong , band, and fearful .consequences may
ensue from the violation of law and disregardtof
their will by those who are chosen as their agents.
Honry,l4. Decttert, Esq., followed for the , in
cumbent. He thanked the Committee for their
patience and industry. The examination of wit
nesses was begun - February 3, and the gentlemen
comprising the Comtnittee had heard the testi
mony of more than three hundred witnesses.
The contesting of the election of a law judge
was without precedent In Pennsylvania, and all
who wish to preserve our judiciary : at its
present high standard will join us in hoping that
this case will stand alone. A judgeship
of the District Court of Philadelphia Is in no
sense a political office; the judges of that and
every other law court of our Commonwealta
judge justly and without fear, favor or affection.
Under the law this committee are made Judges
of the law and the facts. The proven facts of
the case must be applied to the existing laws and
the weli-known.decisions of oar courts.
_ .
Judge Greenbank was returned by a majority
of 126 votes.
The answer sets forth a deliberate fraud in the
Twenty-second Ward, whereby Judge Thayer'e
vote was unduly increased 101 votes,and the con
testant admitted the fraud in the replication flied.
The correct starting point, therefore, was Green
bank's majority, 226.

Mr. Dechert then referred in detail to the evi
dence adduCed as to the Sixth and Seventh 4111;4-
none of the Seventeenth Ward, and the Seventh
divition of the Third Ward.
A (careful review of the testimony preson ted
for the contestant and the incumbent shows that
in all these divisions there was no disregard of
challenges, and, in fact, we can find only one
case (of a voter nav t d Wagner) in which the
majority officers de rately disregarded a chal
lenge ; in that case th judge knew Wagner to
be a voter.
Mr. Dechert farther asserted that the contest
ant had not produced In evidence the window
books of these divisions, and cited various de
cisions bearing open the several questions arising
in the case.
Hon. Wm. A. Porter and George BaU, Esq.,
followed. The argument was eloaed by Mr.
Simpson.—Press.
Important From Cuba.
HAvA.34, March 18.—The insurgents under
Aetna and Marmal have aefeated Lopez at Ma

Lopez retreated to Santiago.
A wounded volunteer reports that the Spanish
General Latour was defeated at Villa Clara on
March a. it will take 10,000 men to restore rail
road communication with that place.
The foreman on a plantation near Puerto Prin
cipe reports that the women and children are
leaving that city to join the insurgents, and the
Spanish General Lesca has warned them to re
tutu, or they will be liable to the penalties of
military law. A vague rumor is widely circu
lated that the insurgents are In combination with
some monitors, and have captured Santiago de
Cuba.
HAvANA,March 18.—Captain-General Unice has
issued a proclamation making important changes
in taxation. The direct taxes on plantation and
country real estate and the war tax recently im
posed on merchants and tradesmen are reduced
50 per cent., and no government contribution pay
able within the last quarter of the fiscal year
1868-0 will be collected. To compensate the
treasury for the loss of revenue incurred by these
reductions, new duties are imposed.
