futile as those last night. The people, the

The Literature of the Day.

In this utilitarian age, book-making is entered
into with the same spirit that would actuate
us in starting new mill or forming a corpO
ration. In the universal scramble after the
almighty dollar" we throw aside all ideas
OF attaining superior excellence, cast away
all hope OF attaining tame, and think only of
the quantity, not the quality, OF what we
produce. Our HterdE grind out their lite
rary grist as our mills grind out meal There
Is not the same elaborateness, the same care
full revision and close reasoning so visible in
the hastily written productions of the present
era as in those of former times. We have
no VirgIls, because, forsooth, it would not
pay. Who could be brought to spend years
OF study over a single work, when all his
reward would be the recognition of few,
when, by throwing off score or more,
be could gain the plaudits money
OF the many? In our own country,
moreover, especially is the prostitution of
genius to gain visible. We are too much
absorbed in gaining wealth to think of enrich
ing our land with enduring monuments of art
and literature. Often, indeed, is the man of
genius passed by without a nod OF recogni-
ton, whilst the one-idead millionaire is gazed
after as if he were demi- god. 1t is great
national evil, and one that the American peo-
pie should correct 1t is narrowing our ideas
and stunting our growth in true national
greatness. Our daily journals, the periodi-
Gals intended for the family fre-side, and the
volumes that daily, nay, hourly, issue from our
prolific presses ale nearly all put forth with
the same idea.
This is not the spirit that fosters literary
enterprise. 1t is MT the spirit that evokes
genuine works of genius. If more attention,
more regard were paid to truth, excellence,
and correctness than to popularity, we might
hope to see works issuing from the press that
would rank as classical literature for ages to
come.

The Fourth Ward Outrage.

THE occurrence last night in the Second
Ward furnishes food for the contemplation of
all thinking citizens. An organized band or
ruffians from the Fourth Ward proceeded to
the tavern in which the Assessors were sit
ting, and endeavored by violence and, if
necessary, by murder to obtain possession of
the books. There can be no doubt of their
intention. For three days the Assessors have
been at work, and last night was the time
when the books must be closed, and the
extra list published. If this list could be
destroyed, then all those frauds which
existed previous to the passage OF the present
law would be put in full force, and such a
majority rolled up for Clymer in that portion
Of our city, that the vast loss in the other Dor.
tions would be counterbalanced. These would
be murderers were the friends of Mr. Hester
Clymer. We know them by name. These
are the local politicians who rule that Five
Points of our city - the Fourth Ward.
They were surrounded by the Democracy; !;
they were the representatives of that party.
These men are but the ignorant tools of
others more intellectual than themselves.
They are but the miserable puppets to dance or
vote as theirmaster directs. These slaves these
small pot-house demagogues, would not have
dared to act thus unless they received their
cue from higher powers. And this act is but
an evidence Of what is the plan of our adVer-
