PATE VERSUS BgowN--A NOVEL CHALLENGER
We print elsewhere a communication sent to
us by somewhat noted character, Mr.. Henry
Clay Pate, once war chief among the border
ruffians of Kansas and an old acquaintance of
Old Brown. In this letter the writer draws
comparison between the moral character Of
Brown and his own, much to the advantage of
the latter, and challenges an anonymous cor
respondent from this city, not to coffee and
pistols for two, as might be imagined, but to a
rostrum controversy on the relative merits Of
Pate and Brown. As the public would be sure
TO feel most intense interest on this subject,
Mr.. Pate periodically proposes that the sums
to DO received for admission to this novel dis
cusson shall 60 to the fund for the purchase Of
Mount Vernon or tho erection Of the Washing
ton Monument. The idea Of dedicating the
proceeds Of the entertainment in the manner
proposed is hardly less novel than that judicial
arrangement Of the Charlestown Court by
which the confession of Cook Is to be printed
in pamphlet form and sold for the benefit of
| one of the Virginia militia who was wounded
in the fray at Harper's Ferry Evidently vir-
ginia Is being inoculated with Yankee notions.

THE QUESTION OF BUTToNs.-A short time ago
we printed communication from lieutenant
in the Navy Of the United States, complaining
Of the indiscrimnate use OF the button which
distinguishes an official supporter Of our flag on
the sea over and above ordinary mortals. The
lieutenant was seriously exercised in his mind
because certain Young gentlemen Of the Coast
Survey are in the habit of sporting semi naval
uniforms on Broadway, and sometimes going
upon sailor frolics with all the buttons dis
played. 1t seems that the naval button Is as
sacred as that OF Chinese mandarin. at least
in the opinion Of "oficcrs Of the liue,y In an
swer to this we have received several commu.
nications from officers Of the lead defining their
exact position on the Coast Survey. According
to our invariable rule-fair play for all hands
we have given each side hearing; and there,
30 far as we are concerned, tho matter is at an
end. The questions of distinct uniform for
Coast Survey officers, Of their pay, their con
duct on ship or shore, and their relative posi-
ton with officers Of the line Of the navy, is
matter for the consideration of the government
We believe, however, that the country fully
appreciates the services of the officers ant
men connected with the Coast Survey Depart
ment, and that they are exceedingly important

The SCHILLER CENTENARY.-Tbe countrvmeu
of Frederic Won Schiller. who was to GERMANY
what Burns was to Scotland and BSrancer to
France, have been celebrating, all over Chris
tendon, the centennial anniversary of his birth
day. In this city and vicinity, where there is q
German population of at least hundred
thousand souls, the Schiller festivals have been,
so far as the Germans were concerned, we'll ar
ranged, and have gone off with some eclas.
They were conducted, with one exception,
strictly upon the European plan. At the AGA
deny Of Music the bust of the poet was crowned
by young girls. totleauG vivaats from his plays
were exhibited and prize poem was declaim-
ed by an actress of the German theatre. There
was also concert at the City Assembly Rooms,
where only German music was performed, aad
the Stadt theatre has presented during the week
number of Schiller's plays.
So far SO good. II is well and proper that
the Germans should honor the memory of one
who was not only great poet but good citi-
zen and worthy man in every relation of life.
But the occasion could not be allowed to 90 by
without being seized by some orators who
are more noted for the pomposity and length
than the brilliancy of their harangues. The
Germans were clever enough not to
give up one Of the precious evenings Of
the week to the Cicero Of the Common Pleas
bench and the poet Of the Post; 50 there was
q sort Of oratorical matinee at the Cooper In
stitute, which seems to be q sort Of refuge for
all the small fry lecturers and spouters of the
present day, as the Tabernacle used to be ten
years ago. Here the distinguished orators"
referred to above went into eostacies about
Coleridge's translation Of Schiller, and
had tho usual attack Of mutual adni
ration, all for the delectation of few hun
dred loungers. Mr.. Bryant puffed Judge DAILY,
and Judge DAILY quoted from Mr.. Bryant's poe
try There was quite as much about DAILY and
Bryant as about Schiller. When we consider
that the orators are not in themselves absorb
ngy interesting, and that their joint style is not
to say the least, Of that brilliant order whioh
enlivens dull subject, the sufferings OF the
audience must have been intolerable. Happily
the majority Of them were German, aud unac-
quainted With she English tongue.
Seriously, the attempt to Americanize q
Schiller Festival was absurd. The songs WHOM
have endeared his name TO the Germans cannoe
be rendered into English without losing nan
their beauty, and the plays of Schiller p'o-
duced upon our stage have all been hacHeo -
