puhlieams." A careful: investigation of -the.

'General Canby's position is the correct one,
-andthat'he cannot pursue any other course

elf the Spirit of the law. The situation'is
.74:3eitain rebels were disqualified !by theforiginal
. .,,'"reeonstruction acts,: from 'holding , office, and
.::. , Voting. Last April, Congress passed an act
the .registered voters ' -in
Ito vote at the same time •for 'Congress
••!, ;for !Members , of the Legislature,
, for a Constitution, and upon, the question
• whether disqualification !and digfranehiSement
- of certain clasSes of rebels should be continued
under the new Constitution: There. was a
heavy vote against the disfranchiSethent clause,
and it was rejected. But. •the -Democrats, at
• the same time;
; had elected numbers of men
who were disqualified under the old law, and
whose , disabilities would . not be removed until
' the new' Constitution • was approved by Con
-• press and permitted to go. into operation. As
• a matter Of course these Ifersons are clearly
ineligible now, Mid !•as 'they cannot take the
oath, their election i,s-tibsibintely null and void.
The rebels amiDemocratsiareidefeated at their
own game. They, were eager to place in
power the men• who • won i.popularity by efforts
to :destroy the Union, that they failed to per
ceive the absurdity of voting at the same time
• . for disqualified men, and ;for the instrument
which was to remove their disabilities at some
period in the future. •
When Congress passed. the law requiring the
• election for Legislators and for the Constitution
•to be held upon the same day, it, intended, of
eourse, that eligible Men only should be
'selected for. candidates. The Democrats con
, Sidered it a smart bit (*business to assume the
.
i• guise of. Republicans, and beneath the veil of
loyalty to seize the opportunity to elevate to
power their most objectionable friends. No
body will regret that they have been disap
pointed, and that at least a portion of !the
• '• Walker ticket, which triumphed by chicanery
. and fraud, is as incapable of harm-as if it had
been defeated.
We here General Canby will enforce the law
vigorously and refuse to permit the disqualified
. men to-take their seats. .We want to have •
Virginia reconstructed, and if there is a clear
. majority of the votes in ;favor of rebels and
Democrats, we suppose they cannot be pre
, • vented from gaining -eventual control of the
• Nude. Rut it ishy no means certain that this
. is the case, for multitudrs• of Republicans, '
white and black,' were. hetrayed into support
.of the Walker ticket by its assumption of the
_name 1 - )1' "ConservatiVe Republican." When
~, •
Congress meets, it will, of course, order new
' • • elections to be 'held in the -districts represented
now. by the disintalified .men.. By that time

The Age this morning publishes an article
upoif "Music in Boston," in which it a
great deal of pains to' misrepresent thq,, mean
ing of a sentence contained in a recent article
in thiS paper Upon the subject of the introiluo
tion of music to our public schools: We, as
serted that the children in the higher classes of
the Boston public schools could "read intricate
music at sight, sing it correctly and analyze ,its
construction," The Age scoffs at this, and
branches out into an essay upon the abstruse
ness—cif musical" thee — failure even`
r tMM . I
satisfactory extent.
Any reader who knoWs anything about the
sUbject,' and who did not choose
'deliberately to misunderstand what we
I - said, must 'haVe' perceived • that the
,ibove sentence was not open to any such
'construction as that put upon it by the Age.
It was not pretended that the school children of
-Boston, or of any other city, are competent to
"pialyie" a musical composition as Bach could
haVe analyied it. We know, just as well as
this querulous writer, that these youngsterS are
not familiar with the science of harmony; that
' their acquaintance with thorough bass amounts
to just nothing at all; that they know nothing
of acoustics; that harmonics 'are not 'to thexik
as plain as the... English alphabet. We did not
intend to conAWAhe idea that they could
dash off " -- Sythp' honies, and operatic
scores, and , masses, and oratorios as
readily as they can write compositions upon
The Horse, The Elephant or A pay in the
&c.; or to. impress the public
with the belief that Boston is 'raising a genera
tion of children, each of whom will surpass
Rossini, ruin Mendelssohn's reputation, and
consign Meyerbeer to oblivion. The simple .
Meaning of the sentence is this : Bostor
teaches her children to analyze simple songs
so far as to enable them to tell in what
manner the scales are constructed; to state
the differences between the major and minor
sidles ; to tell why the key of G•lnajor has one
sharp and the key of E major four sharps ; to
explain the relation between minor and major,
keys with the same signature ; to understand
the grand divisions of time, and the necessity
and uses of the sub-divisions; 'the meaning of
the several clefs; something of chords and their
intervals, and other small but very .important
and generally neglected matters of the same
kind. ,
, These things usually are not t. night by or
dinary music teachers, but it .ismecessary and
desirable that children should learn them if
they are to gain an intelligent knowledge, of
simple music. Boston does teach these things,
and Prof. Jean Louis intends to teach them in
our schools. Whether he will succeed with
his system or not remains to be seen. 'We
have nothing to say of • his qualifications as a
teacher. At the presen', moment that is not a
subject for discussion. The fact exists that he
has been placed at the head of the musical de
partment of the public schools, and we believe
:in giving bim a fair chance to carry, out his
views, which seem to be correct and judicious.
if be fails, Ave : - shall advocate'his-- removal:-
Until he tides fail, it is the worst kind ofpolicy
to hamper him with objectionsouul to.preju
dice the people against him by sneering at him
and depr2ciating
We hope that the Age will now understand
our position upon this subject, and Will be able
to write more intelligently upon it, when it at
tempts it again. if it ever should venture into
such unfamiliar waters a second time, and it
has occasion to allude to Mr. Julius Eichberg,
may we suggest that it shall give that gentle
man credit foi• something more than simple
skill as a violinist Those who know hint at
all, either personally or by reputation, know
him to be a Scientific Musician of .as hiph ac
quirements as any in this country;

• These minors were, fortunately, hicorrect, but

There is a practical lesson taught by such a

to assume ithat this great destruction of prop

ehted American authoress, published on. Saturday, Sep
tember lit h, by T. ii. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia.
The novels of Mrs.. Stephens are productive of ' both
pleasure , and excitement. They are, moreover' always
successful. for the reason; that while this gilts 4 author
is a conscientious follower ; of_uature, she has alsd that
'fine artistic sense 'Which - leeches - that nature; - when:
shown Within the Aloes of rirt ' moat- be IneneurablY
heightened, colored and enlarged: Thin lathe real secret
of successful writing—it...secret appreciated by 'such
masters of fiction as Dickens and Thackeray._ There is
no previous work of Mrs. Stephens so full of her Deem:
liar power and genius, none so absorbing in conception
and development, as " Ruby_ Gray's Strategy." It is
fully eonal to her' Fashion and Flifflillo."

out Uninjured; although some of the:en haye .
since been quite sick froM , intalinrtheygau
and foul air. - They taw .no''great came , for.
alarm in the shaft, and fought the =fire for
several hours in a vain endeavor to tictinguish
it. The blast which fired it was not in the coal,
but in the reek next, the ceal, through which
a tunnel was cut, in the , " second vein," or
upper vei.n,.as we believe itis called. The fire
is still burning, and the steam and smoke that
come from the mouth of the shaft are so hot
that a person's hand cannot be' held over it.
A stream of water through a three-inch pipe
is running into the shaft, brought from the
pond 'which feeds Miner's The water
usually pumped from the mine is also run
in again at the month of the shaft. IThe most
to fear' is an explosion, which is likely
to occur at any mornent, and to act as a pre
ventiVe carbonic acid hi being made, which is
to be forced into the shaft, after which, if it has
the desired effect, that of putting out the fire,
the mouth of the shaft will be entirely closed,
and the mine filled with water (more will be
brought through a fiix-inch / pipe) to cool, off
the rocks and the mine throughout. That an
explosion may not -.do - anv damage to: the
breaker that may be avoided, the boards have
been torn from. two sides, the carriage taken
out, Bzc. it is :thought that it will be. two;
weeks, at least, before 'the, shaft is again in
working order. -

gentlemen in connection with the Chinese
mission, not. 0130 of whom has heretofore,
been named as a candidate. There appeared to
be no one in favor-of returning Mr. J. 'RCM
Browne again, and it Was definitely itedded -
to make an appointment of his' successor
soon.
Some disettssion ensued as to theprospective
ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. In
response to an inquiry Secretary Fish said
that tweets-one or.twenty.two States had riled
official notice at the 'State Department that
the Amendment had been ratified. From in . -
forrnatien in the hands of the President, there
appeared to be no doubt but that Tennessee
would reject the Amendment.

not known, but the meeting is considered a
very important one, being so regarded by the
members of the C 4 .',l.let f tliernselVes, although

Boss Browne's Failure.
The Washington correspondent:of' the NeW
York Herokl contains the following:
The vacancy occasioned at the Chinese
court, and particularly at a time when .all the
email impressions-left by Mr. BroWne in the
abandonment of his post are still fresh, is
deeply felt by the government, •and there is
evident anxiety to send out a responsible,
minister plenipotentiary at once. It is under
stood some despatches were received in regard .
to the Browne charges, which were produced
at the Cabinet - meeting, giving a reliable
statement of the situation of the treaty ques
tion with:China, and, it is said, added unde
niable evidence of the falsity, and' it would
seem almost malicious statements of
Browne, which after manly consideratibn and
calm reflection even Browne himself has Seen
tit to .reverse. Mr.. Browne's diplomatic career
may be considered. inglorieuslylinished.
The Chinese question" is rapidly aSsuining
that dimension which has been anticipated in
regard to it ever since the beginning of Presi
dent Grant's administration. It is for this
reason and the prospects of increa.sing the
dignity of the mission by legislation - , next
winter that the selection Of a representative of
the government is receiving special considera
tion. The present stage of the Chinese ques
tion and its rising "importance have already
proven the rallying call of a number of • sq-
called travelers, adventurers and impostors
