MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1885. THE SITUATION. There will be in a short time the hardest •fighting of the war. Both parties are pre paring for a struggle which will decide the fate of Richmond,. On our side the cap * ture df Charleston and the occupation of the sea coast will be merely preliminary •operations—of vast intrinsic importance, it is true, but far more valuable In their re sults. On the rebel side there is un usual activity. Shbbman’s movements on Charleston and Augusta, the broad sweep of his columns, will compel the gradual retreat of the rebel armies under Hardee:, Beauregard, and Bill, and mass them in North Carolina. In the rear of Sher man there will scarcely be found a rebel garrison, and Georgia,, will probably .have no more part in the spring cam paign than Pennsylvania. Lee and Johnston will need every man they dare draw from the Southwest. This concentration of forces will bring into Virginia enormous armies. The fighting will be upon a colossal scale, and no easy victory will be won. General Lee will bring into the struggle the weight of sixty thousand veteran troops, carefully kept throughout this winter behind formidable entrenchments, and this army, which has on so many, fields given proof of its quality, will not be crushed at once. It is the strong right arm of the rebellion, able to give blows as well as to take them. It is on this army that we concentrate. Hood’s panic-stricken forces have been driven out of the field ; their movements are of third rate importance. Hardee's troops have only the dependent value of reinforce ments ; but every day shows that in Rich mond and under Lee is the great enemy of the Union. The rebel army of Northern Virginia has from the first'been the bul wark of the rebellion, and it is now all that we have left to conquer. To over match it Sherman left Atlanta; for this he moves on Charleston ; for this Wil mington was taken. Ve think it will be \ overmatched,’fold if it is once driven from that network of entrenchments, five miles deep, which encircles Richmond, that It is certain of decisive defeat. It was folly to suppose that with this army in his hand Jeff Davis would submit to the Union, and that Messrs. Blair and Singleton could come back with his re cantation in a green bag. Their efforts have only proven what did not need proof, that we can make peace any day with Jeff Davis by consenting to a division of the Union, and upon no other terms. No thing more has been gained. Of how far the Southern people endorse the determina tion of their leaders to fight to the last for separation, we have learned nothing; The nation has been again assured that a body of influential conspirators, backed by a large army, are resolved to resist as long as that army will fight. Of this assurance it must make what profit it can. It ought to put an end to tbe talk of armistice and ne gotiation, which is the periodical folly of a class of well-meaning men in the North. Even Mr. Blair must now be convinced that conciliation is useless, except when it is extended to the people of the South, as in Savannah, and that to the War is en trusted all the hopeß of the Republic. Enough has been gained by the war to justify our faith in it. It has been long, hard, bloody, expensive, and for two years doubtful. Only in the last year did its suc cesses satisfy the nation. But all that we have sunk on it makes it more valuable. Into the gulf have gone the lives of thou sands of our bravest men; every army is attended by its train of ghosts; Sumner, Wadsworth, Bibnry, were not useless sacrifices; Sedgwick still leads the 6th Corps. Immense treasure has been drained into this unfathomable gulf; we have thrown into it McOiellanism and other enormous experiments, valuable now only as warnings. We cannot afford to waste all that we have expended; the honor and the prosperity of the nation are in the in vestment, and it-must he made good. In a few months three hundred thousand men will be put into the field, and this immense reinforcement is worth a world of peace embassies to Bichmond.. At this moment, with great victories won, and great battles before us, with the rebellion dependent on its last anny, and eagerly bargaining with Europe, the nation must put ail its energy into the war. It is the climax of the struggle. British Governing Classes. Whenever the besom of public economy shall be brought into use among our Bri tish Mends across the water, it will make a dean sweep of useless and overpaid offi cials. When wages, in the agricultural parts of England, are only two dollars a week, taking an average of receipts all the year round—there being seasons in * which out-door work is almost wholly sus pended—-it may be imagined how misera bly the masses must crawl through life, in a condition only a little higher than starva tion point. In most instances the fleld-la borer has a wife and children to support, and certainly to provide rent, as well as food and clothing, out of his miserable earnings. This, too, in the midst of plenty, elegance, and luxuries which would satisfy even the palled-tastes of- a pampered Syba rite. Such utter poverty, amid the utmost splendor and extravagance, is peculiarly an European institution, and would not be en dured, indeed, it could not exist in this country, where every honest man who de sires to work can have it almost for the ask ing, with wages the amount of which would he considered fabulous by laborers, each of whom has to support himself and family upon an average of thirty-six cents a day. The inevitable prder of events will bring about a wholesome revolt against this con dition of things in England, as it did in France in 1780. The [Revolution in the latter country arose rather from social than political causes. The peasantry were wretched, oppressed, ill-paid, well nigh ■desperate in their hopeless poverty. The nobles were rapacious, contemptuous, and extravagant in their pride. The Many finally took courage; and threw off the hard yoke of the exacting and oppressive Few. That the Revolution did not mate rially improve the condition of the workers must be admitted. Political schemers' got in and pulled the wires for personal advan tage, which was opposed to the general good, but the haughty nobility were swept , away, as by a deluge, and though a new Aristocracy was created and some of the exiled nohlem crept back to their titles, feudality never did, and the French know that it never can return. The British aristocracy, consisting of wealth as well as rank, cannot be charged with exercising that oppression over the masses which caused the downfall of the privileged and titled classes in France. In very many instances, they are even very kind to them personally. But the powerful Lords and Commons who compose the Bri tish Legislature make the laws under which taxes are levied and the public money distributed. They would not be human if, having the power in their hands, they did not legislate in favor of their own class and their own Interests. Taxation is very unequal in England, fall ing heaviest upon those who can least afford to pay it, but its fruit, the public revenue, is spent in a manner the best suited to be of advantage to the wealthy classes. Were it not so, .could it ever happen that, paying only twenty-six cents a day to each prijate soldier in the British army, he having to feed himself out of that miserable dole, there yet should be over six hundred gene ral officers, on handsome pay, in that small army, being one general to every 365 soldiers? An Oriental proverb tells us: “The last straw breaks the camel’sback.” -Much is borne, up to a certain point, and then endurance ceases and discontent becomes practical. In England, when that point is reached, the details of the public de partments will be overhauled, sinecures swept away, pensions examined and adjusted, perquisites- repudiated, need less offices abolished, and salaries adapt ed to the quantity and quality of work performed for them. This .would be “ most tolerable and not to be endured.” The noble, the landed estate man, the rich manufacturer, the wealthy shipowner, the millionaire merchant,'who desires to con tinue or to forma little .dynasty of his own, by aid from the law of primogeniture, (which gives.extensive property to the eld. est son, leaving a pittance to younger children,) calculates upon having the cadets-pf his family quartered upon heavi ly-taxed John Bull, and would chafe terri bly against any reduction of offices or salaries by which their interests would be affected. Practically, the prospects of these cadets would be limited, if office, which is held for life in England, were not open to them. It would be a dreadful blow to the family pride, if any of them sought to live by mere mechanical pursuits or by trade. The bar, the church, thenrmy, and navy are open to them, but it takes money to en ter these professions, whbreas it costs nothing to go into a Government office, and, indeed, until lately it was not considered necessary that, for this, their ability to read, write, and cast accounts accurately, should be tested, by examination, competitive or not. There were plenty of poor hard-working fellows, sons pf tradesmen and shop keepers,- who did the business of each office, leaving the young gentlemen to figure as its ornamental caryatides—im posing in appearance, but really supporting no burthen. Reduce the public establish ments, and what would become of these popinjays? For|opr own part, we firmly believe that there is a decided revolutionary tendency in England, among the milllons*- that the time is rapidly approaching when the Many in that country will refuse to submit any longer to the exclusive and usurping Few. The refusal or neglect of the two powerful parties, Whig and Tory, to grant such a reform as will really make the Lower House represent the Commons of England, is likely to advance rather than retard the coming change. The public mind in England is prepared for thatr change, and, when it is made, it will pro bably be effected without damage to life or property, for (he ruling classes know of old how great is the power of the many, - when once agitated ;by the conviction of common wrong. Passenger Railways. Passenger railway companies are com mon carriers of passengers, and are bound to receive and carry all alike, without dit iinction of persons, provided their fare be paid or duly tendered on demand. This includes all individuals, whether Chinese, Japanese, Arab, Abyssinian, Copt, Spa niard, Portuguese, Cuban, Brazilian, Mexican, Octoroon, Quadroon, Mulatto, Mestizo, Indian, or colored even to jet black, and whether they be citizens of Philadelphia or of the interior, or of other States, or foreigners. All these persons, if. well behaved and. decent in their apparel and appearance, have a legal, fixed right to ride in these cars upon payment of their fare, and if'the conductor refuses to admit them. into the car, he and his employers are liable to an action for damages, and, if the slightest force is used, to an indictment upon which he must be convicted. If this exclusion of any class is done by a general agreement between the presidents of tbe companies, then they -are liable to indictment for conspiracy, and may possibly be provided with lodgings in tbe Eastern Penitentiary. Besides, the Legislature has ample power, by the gene ral railroad act, not only to regulate, but to punish the derelictions of all passenger railway companies. » Our attention has been drawn to this sub ject by an illegal attempt to hold an elee : tion to-day and to-morrow in the cars by the chance passengers of those days. The decision, one way or -the other, will not alter the law, and it is a miserable shift to escape responsibility which two of our cotemporaries have treated with considera ble but not undeserved severity. An elec tion might as well be held by tbe inhabi tants of Spruce street to ascertain whether colored persons should be allo wed to use the sidewalks. In the last letter written by Mr. Meade, who killed himself in New York last week, the unhappy man said : “I trust my sad fatff may be a warning to those who in dulge in liquors, and make them reform. It is the enrse of the country.” This is true. , A great temperance movement is as mueh needed now as it was thirty years ago. In this city there is a tavern on almost every comer; and the country is filled with drunkards. Those who have travelled through the State know that it is a land flow ing With whißky. The nation is not sober and Something must be done to check the growth of this evil. In Phi ladelphia the authorities might make a small beginning by closing at once every rum shop without a license, and licensing as few new taverns as possible. Washington! Wx&HTNQToir, January 20,-1*65. AKDBESS OF BECBBT.ABY SEWABD TO THE U. S. CHRISTIAN COMMISSION. Tie Christian Commission Bold a meeting In the Hall of Representatives to-night. The floor and galleries were densely crowded, and very many persons were unable to gain admittance. Amongst the prominent auditors were the President Of the United States and members of his Oablnent. Secre tary Sewa ed presided, and on taking the chair said: In coming once more into these haUs of the Na tional Legislature, although only for an occasional purpose, my thoughts revert to the circumstances under which I lelt here four years ago. Misguided legislators had found at last the long-delayed ocoa- ElODyand had organized a fearful rebellion. They had appointed their leaders; hod seized by surprise Important forts, ports, and places, and their armies were rushing Into the fiold, one after another. The conspirators then threw off the mask and departed from the capital, .hurling back curses and defiance against the Government. Foreign nations, oon founded by the boldness of the Insurrection, prepared to acknowledge a divided empire. On the side of the Government were seen and heard only alarm and confusion unavoidable. Appeals to reflection and propositions for conciliation came forth from every Seotlon of a oountry which regarded fraternal war as the greatest of crimes and the most irre trievable of calamities. The people called first upon the outgoing President, then upon the In coming President, and then successively upon each of our bravest generals and most honored states men, to save the Union, anti to save it <iuiokty, and by one master stroke. To these frantic appeals only one truthful answer oould be given, or was given; ana that answer was that .by no one act and by no one man oould the Union he saved. It could be saved only by the voluntary, eaefgisite, he»}«i persistent efforts or the whole people. The people promptly arose to make that supreme effort, and they have failffully persevered In it, and it is now sesn to be successful. - Lost forts, portß, and places, without which the insurrection cannot succeed, have been regained, the corner stone of the rebellion has baen uplifted . and oast out, and we wait only at the hands of the rebels for the submission which, however delayed, necessarily follows military defeat and In this achievement the people of the United States have not waited to follow, but they hove gone before the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judi cial authorities of the Government. I have, here tofore, borne my testimony to the popular energy lu the departments of war, finance, and politics. But the war has opened another field of activity and labor—a field not less important or Interesting than thOße which usually lie direotly In review: that field Is the department lof charity. ,We have here In our country no established church or recognized eoole.. siastlo authority. They taunt us-wlth not even re cognizing a God in onr national Oonstitution. AU ' effort, all association and all submission Is purely voluntary. Nevertheless the Christian Commis sion and the Sanitary Commission, working to gether in perfect harmony, unorganized, unpaid, unprompted, and even unnoticed by the Govern* ment, have cultivated the broad field to which I have adverted with complete and lull success. They have left no wounds, or sickness, or sorrows unheeded and unrelieved which could be reached by any other than a. Divine hand. I have consented to tako thls chair only because It affords me a fitting opportunity to proclaimmy sincere conviction that the charities of this the greatest and most frightful of aU civil wars, though voluntarily rendered, have nevertheless been administered as becomes the Christian people of the United States, without any sacrilegious holding back, and in a spirit of lofty patriotism, and pure and undeflled religion. Mr. Gbokgk H. Stuabt made a statement, by Whioh it appears the Christian Commission received during the past year $2,882,000 in cash and stores, whioh makes the total receipts since Its organization over $4,100,000. * General Fisk of Missouri, General Patkick of the Army of the Potomao, Senator Foster of Oon- - neotlcut, Chaplain MoOabb of Ohio, Rev.

SI'EOTION. . Tbe United jstates Christian’ Commission, last week, proposed to Hie rebel authorities; to sand Bishops Mollyainb, Jayne, and Lbb, and Ho- HATH) Jokes, of Philadelphia to visit all the re bel prisons and ascertain the condition of the Union prisoners. General Quant forwarded the appltoar’ tlon to General Deb, with hta approval endorsed* and giving permission for an canal number of cler gymen and other oivlllans from the South to visit the military prisons In the North on a like errand. These visits, General Grant added, would do much to relieve the anxiety In the public mind on .both Bides, caused by exaggerations or misrepresentations as to the treatment of prisoners. Yesterday 'a reply was received from the rebel .Government; through Commissioner O'uld, declining to permit the visit of the Bishops as “ Inexpedient.” GAPTUBE OF A VALUABLE PRIZE. Admiral Porter reports to the Navy Department the capture of the blockade-runner Blenheim, on tbe sight of the 24th, In Cape Fear river.

ITS BEAL RESULT—THE PRESIDENT POR UNION, DAVIS FOB SEPARATION. •Washington, Jan. 28.— The result of Mr. Blair’s visit to Richmond is this: That Jefferson Davis is willing to waive all formalities, ayl send to Wash, ington, or receive from there,.oommlB3laners to treat for peace upon the basis of separation. The President of the United States, on the other hand, is willing to. give a hearing to any person of tofinence who may oome from the Stateß to rebel lion, with or without authority from Davis, to treat for peace on the basis of submission to the Union, Of the above facts there is nq doubt.

Lowell, Jan. 29.—Msj or General Butler arrived here at noon yesterday, and last evening addressed his fellow-oitlzen3 at Huntington Hall. There was a large and enthusiastic gathering, probably not less,than four thousand persons being present. , , Major Peabody briefly weloomedthe General, and then Introduced him to the audience, whose demonstrations were most flattering. General Butler said he should speak to them of what had happened to the country, and of what had oocurred in the Department, to take com mand of which he left them a year ago last November. On assuming the position which had devolved upon him by the President, he found 18,000 freedmen needing his attention. It seemed Ms first duty was to them, and he established an organization of labor, and'meanwhtle provided them with food, raiment, and protection from the inclemency of the weather. The result of this portion of his work had been to bring 5,000 colored troops into the army,. It has' been demon strated that the former slave population oould make itself self supporting, and that they were ca pable of education. He said his next step was to attend to the exchange of prisoners, and he had settled every point but ono, viz: in regard to co lored troops. The rebels threatened to enslave them and set. them to work. Hethen proposed to himself to carry on a system of special exchanges until ho had re duced the proportion of prisoners, so that while they might have some five hundred in their hands, he would have fifteen thousand, and then he could say, “ Make slaves of those 500, and I will set these.ls,ooo at work, and we’ll see.” General Butler then referred to the orders he had received to stop all exchanges, and said If he was asked why he left 16,000 men starving in rebel pri sons, he could declare that the stain of their blood was not upon Ms garments. lie-next alluded to the fall of Plymouth, N. C,, and the evacuation of Washington, N. G, and spoke somewhat In detail of the movements- of the Army of the James upon Bermuda Hundred, and of the Army of the Potomac firoia.the Bapidan upon' Mecbanicsvills, the design of these movements, and the causes ef their failure, and' then proceeded to speak of the affair at Wilmington and. Fort Fisher. Ha sold that as early as August last, Admiral Porter’s fleet had . assembled at Fortress Mon roe in preparation fbr the movement, but through a great flourish of trumpets Its design became known, and the time fbr sailing was postponed. He alluded to the preparations Anally made for the undertaking, bird the delays vTIJCiI oocurred whefi the expedition reached its destination, and then spoke of the powder-boat whioh was stated to have been prepared by him. He had lived ambng them, man and boy, for forty years, and, with their consent, expected to live amdhg them thirty years longer, and they knew be would not misrepresent facta. He had never seen the powder-boat, and had only or dered his ordnance officer to turn over a quantity of powder to the naval officer la charge. The thing was planned by the navy, and they had lt'all their own way. The despatch whioh stated that he was the author of the scheme was a lie, and the truth was not in It. He had been assured he should bo Informed when the boat was to bo exploded, but he was slxty-flve miles away, at Beanforti when the explosion took place, and Admiral Porter knew he was there. In regard to the assault on Fort Fisher, General Butler said he had been distinctly told, by Ms most faithful engineer offloers,that If he ordered an attack it would be murder. ; It was charged that he was not in command of the expedition, bnt oould he evrfn then have done other wise than to follow the advice of General Weitzel 1 He did Ms duty according to his best judgment, and as he lived, and as God lived, if the occasion were to recur, even in view of the fall of this storm of oblo quy that was-pouring upon Mm, ho would do so again, praying, however, “Lead us not Into temp tation,” for the temptation was strong to take it. He did not care a rappee. He.had stood much worse storms, and If he lived would stand a thousand more. He was there on a letter from .Lieutenant General Grant to the President, but .no word of Fort Fisher, no word or Wilmington, wax assigned as a reason for Ms presence. What the true reason was he had not received permission to divulge. He had been called by name “ the hero of Big Bethel ■ and Fort Fisher,” and he accepted the honor. He then spoke of the explosion of the Dutch Gap oanal. It did not, perhaps, make so large a hole as No. 10, the mine at Petersburg, but he had not filled it with American dead, and until it ran blood. He desired to,have it inscribed on Ms tombstone in that little enclosure where his remains would one day bo laid, “Here lies the general who saved the lives of his soldiers at Fort Fisher and Big Bethel.” He bad criticised no man, and no army of men, btsf-he had criticised somewhat sharply the froth which Is always the accompaniment of lively porter ! General Butler then proceeded to dismiss the prospects of the national cause, and said he was prepared for more endurance and more strife In the service of the country. If at any time in the future the country needed his sendee, it would be- freely rendered, a£ In the past.

Do everything yon can to sustain the Government, and the President at the head of the Government. He Is honest, patriotic, and oa» peble, and he will do all he can. General Batter said he would have them, how ever, as far es possible,' by voice and Vote, oppose the method of filling up our armies' by moans of large bounties, E&rge bounties did’ not get the best men, and the? were patting a great burthen ef taxation upon laboring men, besides being lit other respects a measure of questionable utility. General Batter next referred to the proposition which he made just after soldiers of the Army of the James had raid to the mob of New York, “ Peace, be still!" That proportion was one of nnoondi. tional pardon to rebels if they would submit to the laws. ■ It was objected that this made no provision for the freedom of the negro. Why not l He regarded the emancipation proclamation of President Lin coin as the law of the land, and if the rebels would not acoept that proposition he proposed in filling np the Union armies for a continued contest to substi tute for the large bounties now paid pos session of Southern soil, taking it from those who made it a curse to the oountry, Instead of the. blessing It was intended to be. In conclusion Gen. Butler apologised for speaking at aucb length. He was ordered to report at Dowell, and he had now reported in full. They had a right to kuow if their welcome waß worthily bestowed. He referred to the a pparent prosperity of the people, and said ,General Terry would send them-that firom Wil mington which would make all their spindles tarn with the hnm of industry. Never, had the interest or welfare of Dowell been other than tffe object of iifs thought. With thapks for their hpgrty wel come he then bade Ms audience good night, fie spoke over one hour, and was continually inter rupted by loud and applause.

The following orders have just been issued from these headquarters: ■ .- Army of tub Potomac, January a«, 1808. To the end that a proper spirit of emulation may be aroused among the enlisted men or this army, and meritorious conduct recognized and rewarded, furloughs-will be granted to such men as by atten tion to duty, profiolenoy in drill, conduct on the march and in battle, and care of arms, horses, and equipments, have proved themselves to he the be3t soldiers in the brigade to which they are attached.

If ORTH has produced a feeling of indignation throughout all others than strictly political circles. The truest friends of the Government are inclined io cavil at 'the manifest unfairness which has been officially evinced towards those who were connected with the Infamous soldiers’vote fraud, such unfairness re sulting in the terrible punishment inflicted on two of the guilty parties, while Col. North is so uncere moniously released irom durance. It is argued that -if he were guilty, he too should have been consigned to prison for life; whereas, irhis innocence has been proven, some official announcement ehould remove the stigma which at present rests upon Ms name. The whole affair Is looked upon by many as the re sult of mere wire-pulling, and an outrage upon those proprieties of right and justice which, even In times like these, should be preferred to the dictation of howling politicians. The Government cannot af ford to barter away the confidence of Its great me tropoll In behalf of “pressure” and “Influence” brought by worthless politicians, be they whom they may. . rad CASE OF SUIOIDB.
