A Scene in a Theatre.

A curious scene occurred in a Philadel-
phia theatre a few Gays ago. W. Cornell
Jewett, notorious in several WAYS, went
to Mrs. John Drew's Arch Street Theatre
to witness a performance of Miss Hosmer,
and was accompanied by his celored ser
want Robert, who carried 3 huge bouquet
intended for presentation to the Star OF
the evening. Wishing to send him with
a message in the purse of the evening.
Mr.. Jewett desired Robert to remain in
the box; but the unfortunate negro was
not suffered to enjoy the play in quiet, for
very soon his removal was requested
of Mr.. Jewett by some one from
the business Office. Mr.. Jewett de-
clined. y second and more urgent mes
sage was sent, but Mr.. Jewett refused on
the ground that the box was bis property
for the evening, and that he had the right
to invite to it any well behaved person he
might choose. He also declined to have
any further discussion on the matter, ex-
cept with the manager Of the theatre. a
request speedily came from Mrs. Drew.
with which NJ Ioy-ets - -
pned, remarElng thai he was ALWAYS
anxious to yield to the wishes of a lady.
Robert left but a sharp correspondence
was the result. One of Jewett's letters to
Mrs. Drew Is in his usual style, thus:
Mr.. Jewett now answers the note with
the hope Of an Almighty dictation. that
the flame lighted by Mrs. Drew NAV burn
on until it destroys every vestiee of oppo-
sition in the land to an equality of all men
bearing the image of the Creator. without
regard to color, till the right Of that
equality is acknowledged on earth. as it is
acknowledged in Heaven, under the
Christian religion. Mr.. Jewett. during
the war, opposed the freedom of the slave
because it was sought for under a usurpa-
ton Of the constitutional rights of the
South, but-while he maintains they are
still slaves in law, and were happier in
such a positiOn-he now declares that if
now free by common consent, and as a re-
suit of the war, they are entitled to all
the rights Of the white mans government
of liberty
Mrs. Drew closed the correspondence
with the following:
"Mrs. John Drew's compliments to Mr..
Jewett, and begs very respectfully, to de-
cline entering into any argument on the
momentous questions involved in his note
Of to-day-such subjects being far beyond
her powers-but must simply reiterate
that it is against the rules of the theatre
o admit colored persons, no part of the
3ame being appropriated to their use.
Mrs. Drew begs further to suggest to
Jewett that an establishment presided
,ver by a lady is scarcely the proper place
o test any question in which a grave sub
ect of import is implicated, and trusts
hat Mr.. Jewett will see the matter in
his light"

POLITICAL.

1t Is said that the committee IN New
York, having in charge the meeting TO
back up Congress, have sent an invitation
to Mr.. Seward to be among the speakers
Probably Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens would
say in reply to the declaration that he
meditated the assassination Of the Presi-
dent, that the President had killed himself.
A Copperhead cotemporary regards the
President as full of " the spirit of the Con-
stitutieR.22 Is that the kind of spirit that
the Copperhead press declared him to be
full of on inauguration day
In d~eneuncing Messrs. Sumner, Ste
VEINS a and others of that stripe as dis
-un;onists. the President is somewhat be-
hind the New York World, which has
been hammering away at these gentlemen
as disunionists for as much as a month.
The Tribune says:
Those members Of the Cabinet, we ARE
informed on good authority, who. contem-
plated resigning their portfolios, haveeOn
cIuded, after consulting with friends, to
await the action Of the President. They
prefer to give him the opportunity Of re-
moving them, should he think proper,
rather than of accepting their resigna-
tons. Il is not improbable that he viii
| accept the alternative in the case Of one
ofthese gentlemen, in the course of a few
days. Such is the expectation at Washing
ton among persons well informed.

The Presidents Ideas of Loyalty.
We find the following in-the New lorl


7Emfs5 eds
'sThe TriBuzs furthermore bellies the Re /
ton Of the President when he speaks OF
him as desiring the admission 10 Congress
of the 80 r~ed-handed foes" Of the nations
lifey7 This is undoubtedly the calumny
upon which the Presidents foes will mainly
rely in the prosecution Of their crusade
against him. But it cannot deceive or mis-
lead the people. President johnson has
never said one word nor one syllable eapa-
bic of any such construction. over and
over again he has conceded the right Of
Congress 10 require unaduiterated and IN
mistakable loyalty as a qualification for a
seat in Congress, and to prescribe any oath
it deems necessary as q test OF that loyalty
The above sounds mighty fine in
deed; but all turns on the meaning which
the President attaches tothe word loyal
Fortunately we are not left in the dark as
to this important matter. We may judge
of Andrew Johnson's definition of
loyalty, not merely from the fact that
he has given power to such "loyal
men as General Humphreys, Of Miss
issippi, who won his rank by fighting
against the nation, but from his direct as
sertions on the subject. In his latest
conversation he has taken the position
that an oath to support the Constitution
is all=sEficient and that any man, no
matter how traitorous he has been in the
past, who would take that oath was a loyal
man. Under this decision Jefferson Da-
Wis and Alexander H. Stephens can come
back to the halls Of Congress, and that
thrice-perjured traitor Robert f. Lee
with his train of followers like Hampton,
Forrest, Quantrell and Mosby can fill the
Federal offices from which Mr.. johnson is
expelling all who do not support him in
his infamous policy.
The President has defined his position.
1t is this: TIE Southern traitors must be
readnitted to pOtoer. The Republican
party have defined theirs: None but truly
loyal representatives Of truly toyat CoHstt-
aencies shall Be aHol0ed to ruIs the Union
lOging people Of the nation, North and
South, sOhite and black. And we attach to
the word loyal no uncertain meaning. No
r~ed-handed traitor who has headed the
legions Of the rebellion or who has par
tieipated in its councils shall ever be al
lowed to give law to the people Of orr re-
stored and regenersted republic. Against
definition of loyalty which admit such
men 70 rule the nation it enters its earnest,
its determined, its unanimous protest. 1t
wants mono but loyal men to rule a loyal
nation

General Howard.

The Jackson MississipPidn make. the
following attack on General Howard
ave listened to him at~tentively when
he h~arrangued the negroes Of this place,
/ and although he did express himself in
somewhat milder terms than some Of his
predecessors, yet we could not shake off
the impression that he was a religious
humbug. His talk betokened a want Of
education ~ineXcusable in any one pretend
ing to teach even a negro. We were not
prepared TO grease him and swallow him
whole, as did some of our Contemporaries,
who now see the error Of their WAYS, and
doubtless regret it. If General Howard
was sincere in his declarations to whites
and blacks, during his visit to this State,
he was insincere in making his report at
Washington 50, in either case, he is not
to be trusted. His whole object, it may
be seen at a glance, Is to put money in his
purse, and hence his recommendation for
increased power and funds te sustain the
Freedmen's Bureau. General Howard 5
day is drawing to a close
Such attacks from the Southern press
are the legitimate results of the Presidents
veto message, which, whether meant to do
so or not, cannot fail to injure the present
operations of the Freedmen's Bureau and
its noble chief.

sver that Mr.. Rsymonds course in sup

MORE OF THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
The President, last night, in reference
to the direct question of several Congress
men. declared that he was opposed 10 all
constitutional amendments until the
Southern member We're in their seats, SO
the south could have a voice in the mat
ter. He said the question of representa-
ton was 4 small matter, and that the
North could well afford TO overlook the
two-ffths advantage which the South now
have. because emigration and kindred
causes would soon remedy it without leg
i%slation. If the Constitution must be
changed at all, he was in favor Of making
. vo.;rs population the basis. He then
asked how they proposed to get such an
fspiIy : was. in The same ne way, Mr.. Presi
dent, that you got the constitutional
amendment ~aboishing slavery through,
by a little Presidential pressure. Mr..
johnson replied that he saw no similarity
in the two cases. In regard to test oath, |
he said he was inclined to think that the
old form of swearing TO support the Con-
stitution was a sufficient test oath of
loyalty.

Shifting Terms.

Dean Trench in one Of his books show:
how the meaning of words has beer
changed in the course of the ages. He
cites several Of a religious character, and
shows the word ~"innocent, once a term
Of honor, has become an epithet of mild
reprcaeh, and how the word silly once
coincident with "happy' or blessed has
reached the Specification now impaired to
it. i took centuries to effect the changes
in these words, but We have a term in
modern use which changes front in less
than half a vear-a remarkable i~llustra-
ton of the rapid progress made at the
present time. Half a year ago the defni-
ton Of "copperhead' was zone who dis
agreed with the President" Now it
means zone who agrees with the Presi-
dent So, a year ago, to differ with the
Administration meant "hostility to the
Government, treason, rebellion Now it
is held to mean "steadfastness of purpose,
fidelity TO principle, love Of country, ele-
waited patriotism
If this lesson in definition is worth any
thing, it teaches that the use Of epithets is
absurd and illogical, and a proof of the
Weakness Of a cause which resorts to them.

To the Editor of the DaiIv Tribune:
SIR desire through your columns to
state a few fasts relative to my r~estora-
tion to health and active life through the
peculiar treatment of Drs. Hunter and
Ramsay. ! have for many wears been
afflicted with disease of the lungs, but
about eighteen months ago my symptoms
became more aggravated; my cough was
distressing in the extreme, my breathing
short and difficult, expectoration profuse,
constant night sweats, with chills and
fever, almost entire loss of appetite, and
consequent emaciation. In "a word, / was
in II PROSTATE, and almost hopeless un-
ditiOn, and l, as well as my friends, had
abandoned all hope of my owe In
this condition | was induced to consult
these gentlemen, and placed myself I'M
der their treatment il February, 1864.
In the course of the first month / began
to show evidence of decided i'm
prOvement. The cough, which had
resisted all ordinary means in use,
and which was very violent in its charac-
ter, gave way gradually to the use of the
inhaler; night sweats ceased soon after,
nearly all the unfavorable symptoms dis
appeared, one after another; my appetite
returned, strength increased; cOunte-
nance, before pale and emaciated had be-
come healthy, and my weight increased
twenty pounds in a few months. At the
termination of three months from the time
of placing myself under DR.. Hunters care,
| found myself enjoying such health as 1
had been u stranger to for many years,
and which l had not even dared 10 hope
for. l have since then retained this re-
markable Improvement, and feeling that
| owe it all 10 the attention and skill of
these physicians l make this public
avowal of the fact as due to them and
their remarkable practice in the treat
ment Of consumption. would therefore
strongly urge those suffering from pulmO-
nary disease, not to become discouraged
or give up in despair, until first giving
their peculiar mode Of treatment a fair
trial. Yours truly, JNO. r. MOODY.
