The PARIS EXHIBITION Misunderstanding to
the great disparity between the awards to
French and English exhibitors, the New York
Tribune of this morning says:-"Judging from
the awards OF prizes made by the Commissioners
of the Paris Exhibition, we should conclude that
England is behind France not only as regards
excellence in the fine arts, but-eontrary to the
generally received opinion--as manufacturing
country. Thus, for paintings in oil and other
paintings she gets only one great prize, while
France gets four. In sculpture she does
not compete, and of the four great
prizes under this head France receives
two. For architecture, of the great prizes
England obtains one and France one.
For engraving and lithography, all the great
prizes have gone to France. For printing and
books, out of ten great prizes, one only goes to
England, and no less than seven are carried off
by France. For photography, the two great
prizes are taken off by France, and England
gets only bronze medal for Photographic por-
traiture. For furniture and other objects for the
use ol dwellings, nine gold medals are allotted
to France, and but one to England. OF the six
gold medals for excellence in glass and crystal,
five 20 to France and one to England; and OF the
five for paper hanoings, France takes four and
England one. For cutlery, France receives two
gold medals and ENGLAND one; and out of the IL
gold medals for gold aud silver plate, seven
are distributed among Frenchmen, and three
awarded 10 English houses, For the manufac'
ture Of cotton threads and fabrics France
shows fourteen gold medals to i've for Great
Britain and the disproportion is still greater
for lace, embroidery, and trimmings, France
receiving eleven gold medals aud England one.
For iewelry ard ornaments France obtains six
gold medals and England one. Fer railway
appai atus. the great prize and EIGHT gold
gold medals; and in telegraphy France takes
four gold medals, ard allow one to England.
The veTdicts of the Commission are likely TO De
anything but satisfactory to the Eughs1, ana
opinion that France mas received more than
her fair share Of honor in the distribution oi
the prizes"

Sunday in Paris,

TIE Press published yesterday a letter Ito
which it had previously directed special atten-
tion) from Colonel Forney, on the way Sunday
is spent in Paris. We doubt whether any
sOber-minded citizen, anxious for the moral
welfare of his family, his neighbors, or the
community, could rise from the perusal of
that letter without the conviction that the sub
stitution Of the French Sunday for our
Christian Sabbath would be a great calamity.
In Paris the idea of making Sunday a day of
amusement, rather than one of physical rest and
religious observance and culture, has been
carried out to its legitimate conclusions. 1t is
not only day for those rural excursions into
green fields and beside flowing streams, oi
which we have heard so much in the discus.
for every kind of amusement as well. In one
of the suburbs we are told that, few Sab
baths ago, ''seventy thousand people wit
messed the illuminated fountains and fire
works, which cost the municipality an i'm
mense sum-" At another popular rura
resort sthe afternoon winds up with a fret
concert. a theatre, and dancing by the visi
tors.n ''The races on Sunday are always tht
hest" SAN the markets are open on th'
Sabbath day" All the places of amusement
ara open, and filed with spectators.

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH -PHmADMPmA MONDAY m

SHALL CRIMINALS GO UNPUNIsHRp BECAUsK
THEY ARE DBMocRATsY-At special meeting Of
the Select Council, called upon Saturday after
noon, for the purpose Of considering the bill
from Common Council relative to the appoint
ment OF joint special committee for the pur-
pose of investigating into the cause of the late
riot between the Hope Engine and Moyamen-
sing Hose Companies, it was found impossible
to obtain quorum, the Democrats in body
absenting themselves. We should be sorry
to suppose that party which is just now
prating so loudly about purity, and about
keeping politics out of the judiciary, would
deliberately place itself before the community
in the attitude of shielding the leaders of a
disgraceful riot simply because they happen
to belong to its household. Yet such must be
the inevitable inference if the Democratic
members of the Select Council persist in the
course of conduct they inaugurated upon
Saturday Bad men, breakers of the law exist
in all parties; and it is unfair to hold a party
organization responsible for their crimes, un-
less the party in some representative capacity
steps in to shield them. 1t would seem that
this is what the Democratic party in this city
is now doing in the case of the leaders of the
late riot.

REVENUE BOARD. - The Secretary of the
Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue have just formed Revenue Board
for this city, composed of the following gentle
men, holding Offices under the United States
at Philadelphia, viz.:-Charles Gilpin, United
States District Attorney; Chambers McKibben
Assistant Treasurer; Henry R. Linderman,
Director of the Mint; and Henry H. Bingham
Postmaster. Congress, at its late session, vir-
tually sanctioned the appointment of this and
similar boards. Anything will be welcomed
by the people which tends to put stop to the
enormous frauds which are constantly being
perpetrated on the revenue. We trust that
the gentlemen named above will proceed to
business at once, and will be successful at
least in making revenue frauds little more
difficult than they have been during the past
year.

ABUSE OF THE PARDoNING PowER.-President
Johnson has just pardoned the notorious coun-
terfeiter Samuel Stewart, convicted less than a
year ago, and sentenced by Judge Cadwalader
to seven years Imprisonment. OF what use
are laws, and the expense of courts and Off
GERS of ofjustice, when the President systemati-
cally nullifes their action by pardoning con-
victed criminals Among the many misdeeds
of Mr.. Johnson, we know of none more glaring
or more destructive of the best interests of
society than his gross abuse of the pardoning
power. He has turned crowds of criminals of
the deepest dye loose to prey upon the COM
munity. We cannot imagine how he pretends
to justify such action to his own conscience.

( Elysee. parades OF the Imperial troops, and
| private parties without number T.
One of the chief arguments used among us
for breaking down the Observance OF the sab
bath according to the immemorial customs OF
our fathers has been ostensibly in the interest
| of the ,goyEino classes. They must have more
opportunities for recreation, for getting into
the country, for innocent amusements, ETC..
Il is interesting, therefore, to note the effect of
the Partisan Sunday upon this class OF the
people, and to see whether the destruction of
the religious character of the Sabbath would
be likely to be followed by any amelioration
of the condition of the toiling masses. Upon
this point Colonel Forney says:-
while many stores and shops are closed on
SUNDAY, 4 HOttced UerY littLe difference among

The day thus spent is followed by a night
whose unveiled and unblushing features"
the facile pen of the correspondent can
scarcely find words to describe. Theatrical
representations exceeding the "Blacz Crook"
in ''splendor novelty, and abandon, " and going
beyond anything ever conceived of by Anne
rioan playgoers," are witnessed by packed and
crowded audiences. "The balls of the demi.

tatic exhibitions"
Such is Sunday an Paris-fit exponent of the
character of that atheistic people who once
formally abolished the Christian Sabbath and
crowned a prostitute as the Goddess of Rea-
son. Who would wish to see the Sabbath, as
it is observed in our own noble and beautiful
city, supplanted by this foreign day of revelry
and icentious dissipation

SOUTH CARoLNA.-It seems that the Demo-
Gratis of South Carolina have offered to support
colored candidates for Congress, if the colored
citizens will give the conservatives control of
the State Government. As very large majo-
rity of the citizens of South Carolina are
colored men, they may not, perhaps, be able
to exactly see the pertinency of this PROPOSE
tion. The Republican party is now we'll orga-
nized in that State, and will be quite compe-
tent to run the State Government as well as
to elect members of Congress.

REV. STEPHEN II. TYING, JR., TO BE CALLED TO
ACCoUNT.-We regret to learn that the Rev.
Stephen H. Tying, Jr., has been guilty of a
very grave ndisoretion-shallwe say crime p
for which he will probably soon be brought to
trial before the authorities of his diocese. 1t
seems that he lately oficiated in a Methodist
church-'meeting house"-in New Bruins
wick, N. j., in defiance of the express prohibi-
ton of the Episcopal rector there resident
whereupOn the latter preferred charges against
him to the Standing Committee of the New
York Diocese. Similar charges were made
against the distinguished father of the accused
in 1859, but no action was taken in the
matter. Our Saviour, when He sent His dis
ciples out to go into all the world and to
preach the Gospel to every creature, evidently
made mistake in not excepting those crea-
lures of His who are wont to assemble in
Methodist "meeting houses"

An Ignorant CIamOr About Churche

An Ignorant ClamOT About Churches,
New YORK letter, complaining of the prac-
tice of certain churches in closing during the
hot months, says
There is not one of them that could not be
hlled three times every y Inday, even in the
warmest weather, il the middle classes who
must stay in town all summer because tney
cannot afford toleave it, we're cordially invited
TO their pews. But they are not Invited; on the
contrary, they are repelled, driven into reli-
gtous indiherentism, by the fashionable stand
ara III vogue in three-fourths of the churcnes"
Such extracts as this generally have quite
run in the newspapers about this season of
the year. For the most part they are written
by persons who do not visit a church as wor-
shippers from one years end to another, and
who know next to nothing at all of the sub
ject upon which they profess to speak. The
truth is, there are an abundance of churches
open in all our cities every summer for all
who desire to attend. Strangers are received
and welcomed and are publicly invited from
the pulpit and through the press to attend
''The fashionable standard in vogue in three
fourths of the churches is a pure matter of
Imagination. 1t has no existence in fact. If
some of our newspaper Bohemians who con-
coct paragraphs like the above would Occa-
sionally go to church themselves, they would
know more of many subjects concerning which
they are now excessively ignorant.

The Legislature refuses, by proper Leg

The remedy is to put young men in the
