THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1861
66 To Point a Moral.”
The last number of Punch contains two Car
toons; by John Leech, somewhat in the style
of Efogarth's pictorial satires upon the OPUS of
England's Social system.
The first, entitled cc The Stable," repre
sents a landlord exhibiting his stable to lifr.
Punch. There it is, neat and nice, clean and
well-ventilated, occupied by favorite horses,
well-cared-tor, well-fed, and well-covered,
too, with woollen horse-cloths intended to
keep the fortunate quadrupeds warm and com
fortable, to a degree. The self-complacent
landlord says (c Yes, /Ur. Punch, nice, clean,
airy boxes, plenty of light, perfect drainage
and ventilation. The best of food and water,
and kind treatment. That's my plan!"
The other cartoon bears the name of "The
Cottage." Here, however, it is Mr. Punch,
not the landlord, who acts as Cicerone. A
miserable laborer, unkempt and unshaven,
sits on the side of a wretched bed, endeavor.
lug to warm his horny hands by a miserable
fire, made of boughs and brambles picked up
by the road-side. In the bed is his wife,
with two children—one of them an infant. In
one corner, on the floor, lies a young man,—
the laborer's eldest son, perhaps,—and in
another corner, also, on the floor, lies a young
woman and another child. Near the landlord,
who seems somewhat astonished at the scone,
stands another . daughter, who has reached
womanhood, and appaiently will soon be a
mother without being a wife. Wretched
poverty reigns supreme in this miserable cot 7
tage. Mr. Punch, pointing out these things
to the landlord, significantly says, "Your
stable arrangements are excellent I Suppose
you try something of the sort here ! Eh?"
These pictures, unhappily " founded on
fact," only too truly represent the condition
of the laboring classes in many parts of Eng
land. This very month, Mr: I ? ayard, the
lately-elected member of Parliament far
Southwark, one of the metropolitan boroughs,
presided, among his new constituency, at the
opening of a ragged school. He argued that
the autna,which are now devoted to missionary
labors abroad might be spent with infinitely
more advantage at home, in educating and
advancing the children of those who aro now
left to help themselves, and repay, with toni
ble interest, the wrongs which they have rs
ceived at the bands of society. a The founda
tion of society was," he said, "that large
swarming mass of the community in the lower
walks of life, which, in point of numbers,
formed a hundred to one of the higher classes;
and, censequently, if that superstructure were
based on a mass of crime and, ignorance, the
upper classes of society would not be coal
deredsafe." He proceeded to show that the
cauclificin of this class larielk affected the taxa
tion of the country; because, so long as they
were suffered to remain in ignorance and
crime, the taxes of the country would be spent
in- ptinishing that ignorance and crime. Mr.
Layard thus placed the issue on a basis which
addresses the sympathy of the upper classes,
and makes an appeal to their selfishness and
their fears.
Recent disclosures respecting the condition
of the agricultural laborers in Wiltshire, found
ed on a personal inspection of the cottages in
which the laborers lived—some as heads of
families, others as lodgers—represent them all
as wallowing in filth, and steeped In ignorance
and nwral depravity. A further investigidion
of the subject has revealed the painful fact
that, in proportion to the population, more
criminals are to be found in the agricultural
districts than in tho most _densely populated
cities. It has also been ascertained that the
illegitimate children born in the rural parishes
form a larger per tentage of the births, and
this is attributed to the indiscriminate he7ding
of the Boxes in the small and ill-ventilated cot
tages, which are too small for the- wants, ne
cessities, and decency of the inmates; and this
system is now declared to be pretty general
throughout the farmsteads of England. Two
or three years back, disclosures hardly less
appalling occurred with reference to the con
dition of the agricultural population in Scot
land, and Punch's pictures, perhaps, may shame
the landlords, English and Scotch, into im
proving the dwellings of their tenant-laborra.
Indeed, a step has already been made in the
right direction. Lord Palmerston, who is
quick in seeing, though net very alert in doing,
what is right, attended a meeting at Romsoy,
in his own country parish, a fortnight since,
held to consider the state of the habitations of
the poorer and laboring classes. He gave, as
the result of inquiries instituted by a compe
tent medical man, that, in Romney, "there
was a great number of habitations which were
not fit for the occupation of human beings, that
they were destitute of all those accommoda
tions and conveniences requisite for a decent
dwelling-house, and that they wore positively
unhealthy, owing to the want of ventilation
and the absence of a sufficient number of
cubical feet of space for each person who lived
in them." Mr. Cowper, Palmerston's step
son, who has made the condition of the poor
his study, said 44 there are in all largo towns
and in every rural district a certain number of
dwellings in which a proper state of decency,
of propriety, and of sell-respect cannot by
possibility be attained, in which health cannot
be preserved, and in which the whole moral
atmosphere of the family is tainted and de
teriorated." Mr. Cowper's suggested remedy
is to build proper habitations for the laboring
classes, the necessary funds being raised and
the necessary operations carried on by a joint
stock company, and a profit of 4 to 6 per cent.
oa the investment being reckoned on as cer
tain.
Something must bo done, for the peasantry
of England are more badly housed now, in
their dog•holes of one roomed cottages, than
the Irish peasantry were, twenty years ago, in
their miserable cabins, with the pig ( 8 ( who
paid tho rent ") occasionally sleeping with the
family.
We really believe that the negro population
in the South are 'better lodged, better fed,
better cared for, and loss worked than ic the
bold peasantry," which Goldsmith stid, nearly
a century ago, was England's "pride."

The Crittenden Amendment.
(For The Prena
Much has boon said and written concerning
the above, but ;in this city, at least, it is evi
dent that much misapprehension exists con
cerning itareal *rector and necessary effects.;
I propose, veivlitiedyi,,tal• - cons.ider
of its features, and to - state'the keaseirts Whyt
the great body of Our Northern Senators and,
Representatives doilheepti 4124 linpOssible,
consistent with clear and .itnpaktatlvn 'duty to
their constituents and their country, td vote
therefor In the first plane, it appears eletwV
unconstitutional. One of the sections of the
so-called compromise provides it shall never
be repealed or altered. The Constitution,
in
so many words, permits and provided for
amendments thereto. Can anything be mote
simple, yet conclusive, than the propriety and
force of this objection ?
Again, it has but the name and reputation
of being a compromise r -it is not one, in fact.
To the South it gives everything in dispute;
to the North, it magnanimously surrenders
that which has long been universally conceded
to be their own. To be sure, it permits the
exclusion of slavery north of thirty-six thirty,
but that territory is already secure to freedom.
South of that line, not only is the application
of the good old-fashioned principle, "that
Congress should make all needful rules and
regulations for the Territories," prevented,
but the people of the Territories them
selves are excluded from forming and fra
ming their own institutions. Slavery can
be forced upon them, while in a terri
torial 'state, even if ninety-nine hundred
of the people have clearly (expressed their
opposition thereto. The bayonets of the
Federal army could be employed for that pur-'
pose. A Congressional slave code, if deemed
necessary, could be obtained. In short, all
the demands that the most ultra men of the •
South over made would hereby be granted.
This, then, in this respect, is this much-lauded
compromise—three of the great parties in the
late Presidential contest are tet purrender their
principles and views, and to adopt those of an
other and an unsuccessful party.. The Re
publicans are to abandon their opposition to
slavery extension; the Donslai men to give
up their adherence„ to' splatter 'sovereignty ;
the .supporters of Bolt to throw aside their
neutrality on the qtriangon, and all to tush,dike
breathless, repentant sinners, into the:arma-of
the political saints—the Brockinridge Demo
cracy. There is no escaping this conclusion:
adherence to the Crittenden proposition, so
far as the Territorial (*shell is concerned, is
practically adherence to Rio Betickinridge plat
form, and an admission that that, and none
other, is sound and right. Again, to all in
tents and purposes slavery is thus made a na
tional insthution '
existing by virtue of the
Constitution, and protected Where its power
extends. The views of the framers of, the
Government, and, with ono or two exceptions,
of all the great men that have been born to the
nation—of the Washingtons, Jeffersons, and
Madisons ; Hamiltons, Jays, and Adamses ;
Clays, Wobsters, and Bentons---that slavery is
a local, exceptional institution, existing
only when established by positive law, and
not being capable of existence in the ab
sence thereof, is trampled under foot, and the
new and . monstrous doctrine is practically
enunciated that slavery is under the protection
of the General Government, wherever the
stars and Stripes float. For, incorporate in
the Constitution the principle that slaves are
property as things are, which our fathers; wore
so opposed to, that Madison, in the Conven
tion that framed our National Chart, said he
"thought it wrong to admit in the Constira- -
tion the idea that there could be property in
man," and in vain we look for the word slave
therein, and it necessarily' follows that the
it peculiar institution" is peculiar no longer,
so far as responsibility therefor is concerned.
xt baingmatlenal, as eitizens of the Republic,
we will justly be held `ribeeuntable; In part,
for its evils. If we are not ready for this na
tional degradation, and individual liability, we
must necessarily be opposed to Mr. Craton
den's amendment, the logical consequence of
which is this condition of things. But, it is
said, that favorable action by Congress on the
matter, would give quiet and prosperity to the
country. We emphatically deny it. It has
afterwards to be submitted to the States. And
then, what excitement and agitation would
arise i The mat - eeene.ts.“eemnt be far sun;
passed in these respects. And what would
bo the result of this strife ? Does any rational
Man for a moment believe that eleven Northern
States would vote for this measure ' and there
must be that number in order to get the neces.
envy threefourthe required by the Constitution.
Or, can any one name more than half that
number that would certainly do so? Sup.
posing a sufficient number of Republicans
and Douglas mon recant their recent views
and vote with the Breckinridge party to carry
Pennsylvania, Now Jersey, New York, Ohio,
and Indiana, what purpose would that effect?
Without the co-operation of more of their
sister States, they would be utterly powerless
to act. And who helievei New England will
vote for an amendment to the Constitution
that tends to forever perpetuate and extend
slavery? or that the groat free.soil North.
west will assent to the doctrines of the great
Southern extremist, John C. Calhoun?
It appears, then, to us, that the proposition
of the Senator from Kentucky is at once one
that ought not, and cannot be carried. The
Constitution was made by the boat and wisest
of men. Under its blessings we have had up
wards of seventy years of glorious national
life ; and amid the present gloom and danger
it would, to say the least, be unsafe to tamper
with it. It wants not amendment, but °bed-.

[Correa ondonoe of The Press.]
NEw Yoax, January 29, 1891.
The itnion meeting hold last evening at
Cooper institute, was worthy or the city and
the cans). The hall—an immense one—was
packed. Brady's speech was a masterpiece,
surpassing, in the brilliancy of its passages,
anything re has done this many a day.
It is a curious fact that, since November
last, not one public meeting has been held at
the North (excepting at Boston and Roches
ter, wherothe fanatics wore not permitted to
proceed,) vhero the position assumed by the
Tribune, ant most of the Republican members
of Congress has been endorsed. I believe it
is the only instance in the history of the
country, in which men, occupying high logis-
Wive positons, have not been publicly sus
tained by tleir several constituencies. The
omission is ilginficant.
Fotr hundred poor creatures were last night
lodged at the different police stations in this
city. This is about the number that are com
pelled to resort nightly to those places for
shelter.
John Roach, a wealthy Roman Catholic' of
this city recently deceased, has made several
large beiuests to charitable institutions con
nected Wth his church. The estate is valued
at severs hundred thousand - dollars, and, after
the doathof his wife, who holds it in trust, Is
to bo divited equally between the Institute of
Mercy in 'Houston street, the Home of the
Good Shepherd, St. Vincent's Hospital, and
the RomatOatholio Orphan Asylum.
At LaurtKeene's the Union sentiment duds
vent whenuer opportunity presents. A night
or two ago,when Mr. Burnett, as Cuffs°, sang
the negro smg, in the "Seven Sisters," and
introduced she name of Major Anderson, at
the sound eiwhich the audience, a largo ono,
gave nine chmrs for the hero of Fort Sumpter.
But when Odle() quoted the words "by the
Eternal, the Union must and shall be pro
served," the enthusiasm reached its height.
"it shall! It hall !" resounded from all parts
of the house. Hats and ladies' handkerchiefs
wore waved, all it was some moments before
the cheerssand mcitement subsided sufficient
ly to allow the business of the play to pro
ceed. Such dmonstrations are frequent in
the theatres.
Vorrest's Biel°lieu, last night, at Niblo's,
attracted a created audience. It was a great
performance thnughont—in many respects,
the best ho hasgiven during an engagement
now in its twentieth week. Every passage
that contained sentiments pertinent to the
politioal troubles of the time was loudly ap
plauded—especially the brilliant apostrophe
to the pen. The piece was superbly mounted,
several now scones having been expressly
painted for it by Hilliard and Meader. The
parquetto and boxes contained many of the
literary, artistic, and politipal celebrities of
the town. Miss Illockley, the new prima
donna, who sat near me, was quite carried
away by the intensity and superb elocution
manifested by Forrest throughout the play.
The legislation threatened at Albany ad
versely to our city railways, has directed public
attention to the enormous profits made by
them. The Third-avenue railroad cost about
$465,000. It is represented by stock to the
value of $1,250,000, which not long since was
quoted at one hundred and seventy per cent.,
or, In other words, it returns 20 per cent. on
five times Its original cost. The Sixth-aVentle
railroad cost about $230,000, and is repre
sented by stock worth $BOO,OOO, which is va
lued at ono hundred ant sixty per cent. The
Eighth-avenue railroad cost about $260,000,
and has stock in the unmet $BBO,OOO, which is
said to be worth two bufdred per cent,

FINE ARTS.
THOMAS SULLY
iFrom the New York century.]
It is because of the profound pleesu.re the
coterriplation of Mr, Wife, pictures atforde,l
that wo are -always interested in writing nuct
reading of their merit. Than .Thomas Stab!
there is no name which stands
history 'of American art, and none which cethJ
wands greater admiration and respect.
Slllly, in his old age, can look back with
upon fifty years of , untlsnal—success,
'knowing that it was wonhy'true- excellence
art, and sure that while hiS noble plctureslre{
tale their form and color, his fame will kee#
its freshness. As a portrait painter, he stands
by the side of Stuart and Sir Thomas Law
rence; his portraits of women, especially,
have grage and beauty, that not even Reynolds
has summed. In portraiture he can be ac
cused of no deficiency; he gives not only
literal resemblance of feature, but that ex.
pression without which the best thawing is a
blank. His love for the beautiful sometimes
k ads him to idealize a common-place counte
nance—a liberty which is perhaps a fault— ;
but none can - accuse Sully of degrading a noble
face. Two 'generations have acknowledged
his genius in this department, and his can.-
vanes preserve the counterfeit presentmentt
of many a man and woman, eminent in litera
ture, politics, and art.
In the union of portraiture with historical
painting he excels. There is no finer
Sheksperean illustration known to us thati
his portrait of George Frederick Cooke,
as
Richard now in the Academy of the
Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Hogarth's cele
brated picture of Garrick in the same cluS
rector, exhibits Richard in an unusual light,
when his purposes are suspended, and his
character concealed by the infinence of a su
pernatural dream, and, therefoie, illustrates
an exceptional incident of hie life; but Sully
has condensed into a cunning attitude and
look the secret and entire spirit of the
usurper, and in a painting of such power and
beauty that the tragedy itself is less satisfac
tory than its illustration. It is high praise we
know to say that any artist excels Shakspeare,
even in the worst of his plays, but our Judg
ment is not hasty, nor unsnstained by authe
:rity.
Mr. Bully, now reMdent in Philadelbbia,
paints with as mO,h-irigor as ever. One of
the last pictures we - have over seen frcim his
easel, is a noble sketch of tholate , Rembrandt
Peale. It is not likely that he will give to the
world any further proof of his power in great
historical painting, but we hope to see from
his hand many a new embodiment of loveli
ness and grace, before his eye loses the mani
fold colors of earth in the beautiful blue of
heaven.
-JAMES HAMILTON
James Hamilton, of Philadelphia, who has
no living superior in landscape and marine
painting, is thus referred to by the New York
TI7TICO :
" Hamilton, who is one of the ablest, (but also
one of the most eccentric of the Philadelphian
artists,) has just finished aes its] sea piece, called
a Wreck off the Coast of Sicily piece,
which cannot long remain unbpught, and which
fully sustains his reputation for boldness of design,
peculiarity of effect, and disregard of detail. It
is well known by those familiar with his style, and
at all acquainted with his works, that some of his
moat successful efforts have been the result of ap
parent mischances. Oa one occasion he bad finish
ed a painting for the exhibition, and sent it while
yet fresh to the rooms. On the way the porter stu
pidly brushed against a passer, and daubed un
mercifully the madded paint. The picture was
hung, and Hamilton coming , into the room, was at'
first thunderstruck, then delighted, and finally
vowed the e'en was sublime, and would on no ea
count take thrrpainttng away, or remedy the mis
hap."
is a singular, coincidence that both Apel
lea and Hamilton should gain by chance what
, by, skill they could net.„acb4e7e. It is two,
thousand years since the Greek had greatness'
thrust upon him by a sponge, now the Ameri
can has it thauat upon him by a porter,!-
Henceforth, let no artist depend upon his ge
nius for success, but rather throw sponges
round the -room, and slambang his pictures
through the streets—sublime effects are sure
to be produced. What are colors skilfully
contrasted till they are smeared? How can a
quick eye and a firm hand realize an idea witb
out a clumsy porter? What the critic, means
ry aeulannE, sbae.A cisuccesstbl effort is the
result of a mischance," he should know butter
than his readers, for his English is his own pe
culiar property, and not in common use. It is
not likely that his meaning is wedded to ex
pression; so we must presume that he wished
to say that the success of the effort, and not
the effort itself, was the result of the mis
chance. Thus, having kindly reconciled his
words with his idea, we can make our reasons
for quarreling with them intelligible.
We quarrel with the assertion, because of
its tendency to lower the position of the artist.
To ascribe so much of his success to accident,
is to deprive him of the credit of earnest and in
telligent labor, by which alone the highest suc
cess is possible. It is not to be denied that acci
dent might create an effect in color that would
seem artistic, bat that any of Mr. Hamilton's
best pictures have been thus produced is not
to be reasonably asserted.
The anecdote is too old to be dangerous;
but a statement may be weak, and the infe
rence be strong. The story would convey the
false meaning that Mr. Hamilton is an eccen
tric,, unreliable painter, greater as a genius
than an artist—while those who know his
works know them to be the results,
never of
accident, not merely of genius, but of a life
of study, and long years of industry and emu
lation.

A FORGERY is LYCOMING COUNTY.—William
J. Schuyler, a gentleman who has been engaged
in the milling business in Moreland township,
Lyooming county, for some time past, and more
recently in the meroantile business, and who
left this part of tho country some three weeks ago
for parts unknown, is charged with having ob
tained money from the Danville flank, Northum
berland Bank, and West Branch Bank to the
amount of $1,560, upon notes upon which the
names of the endorsers were forged, as follows
Danville Bank $3OO, Northumberland Bank $4OO,
and West Branch $3OO. Besides this, it is said there
are Eoveral notes of smaller amounts in the hands of
private individuals, which Schuyler had disposed of,
with the names of prominent men of Moreland at
taohed, which aro also pronounced forgeries.
During his operations in Moreland it is stated
Sohuyler repeatedly got accommodations at the
banks in this section, and his paper was oineldered

to prosecute his business, was obtained with forged

have been made to ferret out his whereabouts.

Harris for all arms and stores on hand; to be ac
counted for to the United States, at any future
settlement, and the right was reserved to salute
the Federal colors
On the part of Georgia, the only objeot was
scoured by the possession of a Eno battery of two
twelve-pound howitzers, and two cannon, and
some twenty-two thousand muskets and fillet,
many of them Of the best kind. There are also
large stores of powder, cannon balls, grape, eto.
The terms aro considered perfectly honorable to
the brave officers in command, and we hope are
eatisfaotory to them.
Thirty-three guns were then fired, one for each
star on the old flag, Georgia's among them, and it
descended between the thirty-second and thi.ty
third fire. All the officers of the company, and
NM of those of the Governor bad seen service

In reply to an address published in the Rich

candidate for delegate to the State Convention,
Boil. J. M. Botts publishes a card defining the
position which he now bolds. Be is -prepared to
insist upon every jot or tittle of right, which Vit
. ginta can demand under the Coneututlen, but be
will never consent to make the existeuee or de
struction of the Government dependent-upon any
abstract or, tram° able question thatmay or may
sot arise, outside of e Constitution, such as is now
proposed, or guaran log slavery by constitutional
amendment, in all nitwits hereafter to be ac
quired south of 36 deg. 30 min., whether In Mexico,
South America, or the Sandwich Islands. Yet he
would be willing to vote for any compromise which
would be satisfactory to the people. Mr. Botts de
nounces tho efforts to drag Virginia into the disn- •
nion movement with his Usual vigor; deelares that
to the Disunionists pgr se he bee nothing to offer
but resistance and opposition ;' that in their course
be sees nothing but inevitable 'ruin to the South,,
and that he is ready to saorillee himself end his
property, if thereby he can save the Union. Vir
ginia, he insists, should remain In the Union, and
act as mediator and peace-maker between the two
sections. Mr. Botts says that he takes this me

TES Leer OF ate RICIL—A live Pennsylvania
elk in these latter days is a eight which cannot be
witnessed at any time—and ere many years have
passed away the last vestige of this beautiful and
gbirious animal will have departed. The only
animal of this species now known to exist is in the
possession of our friend, Simon Nagle, of Marietta,
and a utibla beast it is. Its weight is fell six hun
dred pounds, and it carries aloft a magnilleent pair
of antlers. Although It was oapttlred Some years
since—after a six days' ohase- , -it is still as spirited
as when it roamed the wilds of, its native forest.
Those of our readers who admire such a ?ara avis
in the Animal kingdom should not fail to call upon
Mr. Nagle when visiting Marietta..— Lancaster
