The Necessity of Good Manners at Con-
CeTts, Lectures, and Other Public
Places.
PROBABLY no person who attends our places
of public instruction and amusement has
escaped being annoyed by the impertinent
whispering and talking OF a class of people
who infest such places, and who seem to
delight not only in not listening themselves,
but in preventing others from listening also.
We know of no annoyance more rude, more
thoroughly marking the Ill-bred person, than
this one, and yet we regret to say that the
chief offenders of this sort are of the female
sex. Not long since a lecturer of high char
acter and position in our city was obliged to
stop in the midst of an address, and inform
the audience that he should feel compelled to
terminate his remarks unless the incessant
and disturbing conversation OF a couple of
young ladies ~ was stopped. The ofense
has become so general that it is a public
nuisance.
A lady correspondent, who is a cultivated
musician, and whose experience of this i'm
pertinence has been so extensive as to stir
her spirit to the point Of public remonstrance,
sends us the following appeal, which we
gladly publish, and which we trust the fre-
quenters of concerts and lectures will both
read and heed
81 would willingly keep silent but that my
heart is hot within me, and l make one more
appeal to my fellow-auditors at concerts and
lectures Great are the abuses pructised and
permitted at all such entertainments; great are
the suferings of those who go TO hear music or
eloquence, and not promiscuous conversation.
Afternoons and evenings are wasted, tempers
are tried, pleasures turned into penances
because few (sometimes alas many persons
cannot otremember that there is a time TO be silent
Perhaps some illustrations may add force to the
complaint. 1t seems TO be to be supposed by
attitudes OF young people that the rehearsalS
of the Germania Orchestra are occasions
for more than usual freedom in talking
and laughing, or even in lunching for the last
advertisement has been noticed). Now IL Is
scarcely for this end that the sinfonies Of
Beethoven and the finest operatic gems are so
carefully performed: and even il it were not an
impertinence to the musicians, 1t may be that

IF IT WAS a rule to bestow the richest
offices in the gift of the Government on such
men as Hon. George Bancroft, who, we are
told, has been nominated as Collector of the
Port of Boston, there would not be the storm
OF indignation which has swept over the Coun-
try whenever Presidential appointments are
announced. The selection is one which will
meet the warmest approval of the Boston
community, and receive the ready confrma-
tion of the Senate.

Is the Deadlock About to be Removed
THE speech of General Banks in the House
of Representatives on Saturday, in opposition
TO the pending bill for the military reconstruc-
ton of the South, is worthy OF particular
notice in two particulars-flrst, in holding
out the hope of a reconciliation between
Congress and the Executive, and, secondly, in
pointing to the final resort of impeachment
If the present deadlock" between those two
departments OF the Government cannot be
otherwise removed. His idea seems to be
that law fully equal to the necessities of the
case may be passed. which shall either COM
mand the assent and cooperation of the
Executive, or shall make clear and indis-
putable case for impeachment.
1t is needless to say that the country would
gladly welcome a return to that practical
cooperation between the Executive and
Congress- which the Constitution contem-
plates, and which the most vital necessities
OF the Government so imperiously demand.
The difficulty hitherto has been that acting
President Johnson has assumed that the
Workof reconstruction was Un fdit GccompH;
that his own action in reorganizing the late
Rebel communities was final; and that Con-
gress had nothing whatever to do in the pre-
misses except to admit Senators and Repre-
sentatives from the so-called States which he
has erected. So long as he maintains this
position, it is evident that nothing can be
done. The deadlock is irrefragible, eX-
cept by a resort to that supreme remedy
hoa cori iY1of
such extreme and perilous cases.
But it, as it is intimated, and as we hope
may prove to be the case, the acting Presi-
dent has concluded to retreat from his unite
nable position, and to regard the whole
question of reconstruction as an open
one, to be decided by the constitutional law
making DOW er in the Government, instead Of
by his own mere ipSe dirit, then we see no
insurmountable obstacles to the prompt and
peaceful settlement of all our national diff
eulties. The only thing that has prevented
the governmental machine from working
smoothly ON this question has been the
anomalous and unconstitutional position Of
the acting Executive. There are no ques-
dons so difficult that the legitimate workings
Of our form of government will not solve
them; but when one man attempts to set up
9is sOiU as LaaU, then the machine stops, and
he must either get out of the way or be
crushed by it. We shall be most happy to
see the acting Executive remove the "dead'
lock" by ceasing to attempt the exercise Of
any but the constitutional functions of his
Office, leaving the great questions growing
out of the late war to lie settled by the con-
stitutional law-making power of the Govern
ment. Such course of conduct on his part
will restore harmony and order to the Gov
ernment, and will have the way Tor happy
exit from all our perils.

The Law of BankruDtcv.


THE Senate, by twenty-five to fourteen, re-
considered on Saturday the vote by which
the Bankrupt bill was defeated few days
since, and the proposed law is once more
before that body. We do not know what may
be the fate reserved for it, but we think that
the opposition which it has encountered must
arise from some of the minor provisions
rather than from antipathy to the main idea
which it embodies. The cardinal aim of the
bill is eminently just. 1t is to enable a man
of business who has been unfortunate to once
more regain mis- feet, and stand an equal
among men. The law which would crush
down and keep forever beyond the pale of
hope an honest but unsuccessful merchant, is
derived from the ancient Roman law, which
allowed creditor to imprison debtor, and
not only during his life to keep hold on his
labor, but his disability was hereditary and the
children might also be held in durance for
their fathers misIortunes. Gradually, how
ever, civilization has ameliorated the condi-
ton Of the debtor until, in this country, we
have no such scenes as Dickens depicts in
Little Dorrit."
Our civilization has no such blot as that
shown in the pages of the "Pickwick
Papers" We yet, however, have on our
statute books provision which tends to crush
all hope and energy out of a debtor. His
creditors can at any time seize any pro-
psrty which he may accumulate. By this
means all incentive to rise is removed, and
the man, once down, has no inducement to
become an active member of society. The
Bankrupt law should provide Tor his holding
property which he may afterwards earn. For
while one villain may avail himself of it to
escape the proper penalty for fraud, three un-
fortunate but honest men will have new life
infused into their action, and have an aim
in their exertions to once more pass as equals
among their fellows.
