PROGENY OF MEN OF GENIUS.

A writer in the Quarterly Review presents very
striking fact in relation to Il family history of men
eminenty distinguished by their intellectual attain
ments. He was discussing an objection to the copy
right b-that pe,petuity IN literary property would
tablish arstocracy, would found another obesse-
and shows that there is danger of This result from
the bill in question
"We are not going to speculate" he says " about
the causes of the fact--but fact it s-that men
distinguished for extraordinary intellectual power
OF any sort very rarely leave than very brief
line of progeny behind then Men of genius have
scarcely ever done so-men of imaginative gen us
we might say, almost never. With the one excep-
ton of the noble Surrey, cannot at this moment
point out representative the male line, even so
far down as in the third generation Of any English
poet, and we believe the is the same in France
The blood of beings of that order can seldom be
traced far down even in the female line. With the
exception of Surrey and Spenser, we not aware
of any great English author of at all remote date
from whose body any living person claims tie be de-
scended. There is no other real English poet prior
to the middle Of the eighteenth century, and we be-
eve great author ofany sort, except Clarendon and
SALISBURY, of whose blood we have any inheritance

RHODE ISLAND.

Mr.. Webster passed through this city yesterday on
his way to Boston, but not in the rumored character
of Plenipotentary from the President to treat with
the insurgents of Rhode Island. No other member
of the Cabinet has been here of late.
We have no doubt, however, that this Rhode Island
business will be settled, and satisfactorily
too to nearly all the parties concerned. The Presi-
dent has so decisively shown his determination to
maintain the Charter and the Laws of the constituted
Government till it is legally changed that the nsur-
gents must, and will yield, their excuse for which
will be to their partsans, promise the part of
the Charter People 10 create reform Convention,
where the charter can be amended according to Law
and not by insurrection.
There is no disposition In Rhode Island, and there
has not been for some time to maintain the existing
Charter unchanged The resistance has been to the
change by revolution The principle of such action
bad, the example bad that the faces Of all
sound and people in the country have been set
against the insurrectionary movements. They have
been sustained here and there by party fanatics who,
wish to make party capital out of their movements
but the SOBER sedate opinion of the country has run all
counter to their acts.
These disputes, however we believe are now nearly
over. There will be, think, no more arrests, no
more attempts either to put the constitution in
force and in due time, new constitution will be
made, in way that will satisfy nearly all

From the Philadelphia american Sentinel

Our respected contemporary of the United States
Gazette, takes exception to remark made by us, a
few days ago, that for one offence the Veto Of the
Bank, Mr.. Tyler has been cast off, by portion of
the Wing party. He says, that offence was not
simple VOTE" but that the bill passed was a com
promise, proposed by the President HIMSELF and
urged upon members Of Congress, at his solicitation
by members of the Cabinet" and that therefore the
Veto was not only offensive per Sc, but "by the means
taken to the passage Of the bill, personal
and party offence" After the many labored state
ments that have been made relative to this matter
not only by all the members of the former Cabinet of
President Tyler, but by other gentlemen, should
despair of throwing light the subject. 1t has
been impression, since the dissolution of the
Cabinet, and the consequent Developments that there
was some misapprehenson in relation to the second
Bank bill that vetoed by Mr. Tyler 1t true that
several distinguished gentlemen who were connected
with the getting up and passage of that bill think
President Tyler did not act with perfect candor in
relation to it and when the rupture took place,
veral communications from thcm were published,
with view to show that he had deceived the par
ties whom he had consulted on that occasion. This
was, however, most positively denied by Mr.. Tyler
and his friends and we recollect that we received
strong impression, at that time, from some of these
statements, and especially that of the Hon. John
Bell, the Secretary Of War, that the charge against
the President had not been sustained by the evidence
and that the retiring Secretaries had been led astay
by their own excited feelings rather than by any de-
clarations of Mr.. Tyler. He said explicitly, before
the second bill passed. and while the whole was UNI
der discussion in Congress, that he could not sign it,
clear and decided proof that the bill not in the
shape that he desired it to assume, if it intended
by its supporters, that he should officially approve
Of it.
With regard to the appointments under the national
Government, we do not profess to know much beyond
the limits of Philadelphia. We have supposed, that
elswhere well here, they were given, at least
as exclusively as has been the case, to active
wings, to make room for whom, active democrats
were removed. The recent feud among the wings,
the of Mr. TYLER has necessarily created hos
tile feelings among members of the wing party, which
are manifesting themselves daily, by abuse of Mr.
Tyler by section, and the attempt to remove his
violent opponents on the her. We readily con-
cede to respected friend of the United States
Gazette, that the effect of all this is to weaken the
great wing party and to strengthen their opponents.

COURT MARTIAL-CASE OF CAPTAIN u. p.
LEVY
WAsHrNGroN, April %. IS42.

WASHINGTON, April 90, 1912
Sir Upon a mature consideration of the records
of the Court Martial, have come to the conclusion
without designing any disrespect to the Court, that
the punishment denounced against Captain Levy by
the sentence of the Court is exceedingly severe, and
dspioportioned to the offence charged The punish
ment, in order to be just must be proportional to the
crime. In arriving at this conclusion have not per-
mtted myself to look beyond the charge and its spe
cfcation. Whether the officer be good or bad-whe-
Their his department in general be correct or other
wse ought not TO enter into the inquiry.
My respect for the Court sustained as it is by your
opinion, would lead me to desire to carry out its
tence, but for the fact that in doing should esta-
blish precedent which would bind me in all other
cases. and adopt rule for future action that which
might involve in similar fate any other officer who had
departed, in any respect from the rigid rules of the
service.
DESIRE therefore, that you will subm the sem
tence to the Court for its reconsideration with d.
rectons that their judgment shall be confined to the
single point of the treatment of Thompson, and that
on this point ally testimony, either in illustration
of the motive or the fact, may be admitted the
part of the prosecution or the accused Be assured
of my great respect.

LIGHTNING.

Last evening, May 18th, within a few minutes OF
nine o'clock, whilst standing in the Bowery, and
looking about Il. S. E. at the smoke ascending from
burning buildings, at the corner of livingston and
Forsyth streets, which large quantities of water
had, for about half hour, been pouring from fire
engines observed in the direction of the hot air
above the buildings, and apparently in this air, two
electrical discharges, at interval of several mi
nutes. They resembled streaks of lightning, nearly
vertical, and at an angular altitude of about thirty
degrees The sky was in every visible part perfect
ly clear and on examination some minutes after
ward, from different locality, from which the
light Of the fire was projected different part of
the sky the latter found to be clear in the dircc
ton from which the apparent lightning had been
seen. thunderstorm had ended about eight o'clock,
but the direction in which it had travelled was forty
or fifty degrees farther north.
The writer is DESTROYS Of ascertainng whether any
person saw these streaks-not mere flashes--about
nine O'Clock, in the direction Of the fire, when look
ing along Forsyth street or along Rvington street.
in the opposite direction. Such fact would prove
them to have been generated by the steam which
was condensed above the fire. II would be fact
analogous to that of the electrical sparks from the
steam locomotives and would, like that, throw light
on the of lightning and of the aurora borealis

Public sentiment with regard to the affairs of Rhode
Island stands upon pivot, and will turn easily either
way. The universally Of suffrage in almost all the
States, shows how opinion is and has long BEEN on
the fundamental matter of difference between the two
parties vast majority of the American people
sympathise with the Suffrage party in this In their
attempt = carry out that principle however by es-
tabishng new government to override the actual
government, public sentiment ought to be, and we
nave no doubt is, strongly against them That pro-
ceuure was inconsistent with the integrity of all our
institutions Since the adjournment Of the Suffrage
Legislature, the legitimate government have done very
right, seems to U.S. in arrestng several of the Suf.
lage leaders, and the gentlemen arrested have done
honor TO themselves American citizens, in submit
ting to be arrested and yielding the proper course
of law. They have thus exhibite their regard for
order, and their confidence in American institutions
TO bring them out right. Public sentiment will go
with both SIDES in this procedure, but doubt whe-
necessity for arresting every who took part in
the nsurpation Enough have already been commit
led TO establish the supremacy Of the laws and test
all the principles in the The legal government
IS now established, and if more il DONE the infu-
ence on the country generally will be salutary. 1t
would DC most unfortunate if should be pushed
50 Tar as to produce counter current Now it seems
70 u.s. the time Tor final settlement Of the whole af
fair As yet, the controversy has not gone beyond
words and demonstrations. Nat drop Of blood has
been shed-not blow struck. The laws have held
the Rhode Islanders as they always should. This is
abe time for the legal legislature 10 show their
~, and by calling convention giving the people
generally the right Of voting for delegates to put an
end to the controversy in this happy moment We
care not to know what would have happened in
Rhode Island, if either party Of our fellow citizens
there had forgotten American nerests and American
principles, and given themselves up 10 the control Of
stubboinness or revenge.

RHODE ISLAND AGAIN-PRESIDENT TY-
LER'S LETTER

Governor King has issued proclamation calling
attention to letter which he has received from Pre-
sldent yler, in answer 10 of bis own dated the
4h AS this letter will probably be misrepresented
and its language perverted by political opponents of
the President, and of the Freehoder's party, we
have deemed it expedent to publish it entire It
will be seen the President has resolved to employ
armed force against the suffrage men only in case Of
actual violence and bloodshed To do this is % per-
form duty imposed on him by the Constitution
from which be cannot possibly escape, no matter
how painful its performance be. We do not fear
however, that crisis which will render the interpo-
sition Of the US troops necessary, will ever
rive. We have stated this opinion distinctly, and at
several times, and have no reason TO change
The threats of violence uttered by the opponents Of
the Freeholders' party unquestionably made to
ovcrawc opposition and hasten those concessions
which the Assembly men must sooner or later make
The Suffrage party are daily losing prominent mem
beers from their ranks, and il appears if an AMIGA

would be effected before long
