who rejoices over the late Republican reverses
who is not for Grant; and many of them are
venomously hostile to Impartial Manhood Suf-
frage When Gen. Grant demonstrates on this
point, we hope he will be found standing
square on the platform of Equal Rights. And,
when he does, we shall very heartily support
him for President, if he be the Republican
candidate; but we suspect he will then be no
stronger than another capable and worthy Re
publican. He may get some votes on personal
grounds inJview of his eminent public serv-
ices: but so would Gov. Chase; so would
Speaker COlfax or Senator Wade. Those who
now seem7devoted to him on the assumption
that he is not Republican will of course be
off whenever it shall be established beyond
cavil that he is. BE sure that principle, not
personal choice, will govern the issue. of the
pending Presidential contest. There will, there
can, be no Sinking the Main Question.

BY the official canvass in Brooklyn it appears
that Jacob Worth, Republican, is chosen AS
semblyman in the With District instead OF
John Raber, the Democratic candidate This
result has so much moved the Democrats that
they set up the cry of fraud, forgery, &c. Per
haps it is too bad that the Unadulterated
cannot have all the members of the Lower
House. Were such the fact, we ought not to
doubt the dawnng of the millennium at Albany
on the first Monday in January. Of the thirty
eight members below Newburgh and POugh-
keepsic, the Democracy have thirty-six 1t ia
to be hoped that the two lonely Republicans
who are counted in will not seriously shake
the nerves Of the Unterrilied.

The circular of Prince Gorchakoff on the
Eastern Question indicates the irrepressible APP
proach of war between the Mohammedan
Government of Turkey and its Christian sub
iects, who, in European Turkey, constitute a
considerable majority of the total population
BY declining the advice rendered by the great
Christian Powers, Turkey has in the opinion
of the Russian Government, forfeited all claims
to sympathy. The whole and outspoken sym
patty of Russia viii be with the Christian
provinces, whose rights as Prince Gorchakoff
emphatcally asserts, have been utterly disre-
garded by the Porte When such sentiments
prevail, war cannot be far remote. The sgniti-
canoe of the circular is not weakened by the
official announcement in the speech OF the
French Emperor that all the Powers were
agreed upon maintaining the integrity of the
Turkish territory. Under the pressure of new
considerations and circumstances, these agree
ments are as easily terminated As concluded

A correspondent sends us a little note upon
Judge Agnew's decision in the matter OF the
privileges of colOred people in Philadelphia
The writer evidently intends to be severe on
the Judge; but when he congratulates His
Honor upon setting God Almighty right in
this negro business, we think he goes just
little too far. No doubt there are many Judges
who differ with the Creator as to His intentions
but then Judges are loyal to law if to nothing
else, and as they have thus far no appeal from
Heavens High Chancery, we take it that not
even Pennsylvania lawyer has really taken
exceptions to the decision of the Supreme
Judge of the Universe

THE S0CIlL SCIENCE ASSOCHION

THE SOCIiL SCIENCE Association.
The first meeting of this Association that has
been held in New-York closed last evening
after a session Of three days. We have been
disappointed, as no doubt the members have
also BEEN that so little interest has been mani
tested in the meetings by the educated and
cultivated class of our citizens But while We
frankly admit that this result was partly to
have been expected by those who know the
character of our society best, we believe, also,
that much of this indifference is owing to II
want of proper management by those who had
the arrangements of the meetings in charge
1t is one thing to hold meetings of this char
acter in Boston where there is n largo audi
cncc always ready to turn ont on the slightest
intimatiOn that there is something abstiuse to
listen to, but it is quite another matter to
waken an interest in NewYork in anything
philosophical or scientific. III Faraday himself
were to come to New Iork-at which the
ScOtchman might say he can I, being dead
it would be long before he would collect
an audience that would pay the rent of his
lecture-room, and even then those who came
to see the brilliant experiment would go away
as soon MS he began to draw deductions. THIS
is true of what we call the upper class OF our
society, and it il, perhaps, not to be wondered
at when the composition of that class is care
fully examined but at the same time 1t would
be unjust to deny that there is sufficient
audience for thinkers and speakers on the
highest topics if only proper measures were
taken to collect IT.
AS a society, the Social Science Association
has hardly passed the chaotic period OF its
creation. IL exists in the mind of the general
public as something vague in purpose and
fcaturcless in organization. People ask du-
biousy what it is all about; when they read
the newspaper reports Of the meetings they find
little of everything, and have a feeling that
they have been walking in HOrtus Siccus;
when they cautiously approach the meetings
TO learn for themselves, they find SO little that
is materially attractive, and the danger from
borcs so excessive, that they incontinently take
themselves of, and the Association seems to be
equally Indifferent rs 20 whether they go or
stay. This is not wholly the fault of the pub
lie nor should We DC in a hurry to charge il
with barbansm; the Association must take a
portion of the blame on lis, own shoulders.

If the Academy of Music had fulfilled the
promise of its origin we should never have been
cut short in our seasons of opera by such a
ridiculous revolution as that of Monday night.
The first purpose, if we remember rightly, of
the corporators of that establishment was not
simply to build play-hous but to found an
Academy. We were TO have IN New-l ork
something like the Conservatives OF Paris,
Vienna, and other European capitals; school
in which pupils might be trained to proficiency
in the musical art, and educated for the stage;
q great public institution which should foster
and develop taste and talent among the
people. as well rs afford theater Tor
their exhibition. There were to be classes
in singing and instrumental music, lnstruc-
tons i'm lyric action, and well-selectedl corps
of competent teachers. What has become
of all these splendid plans What care
have the stockholders of the Academy shown
for the progress of art What have they to do
with music except to occupy all the best seats
in the house without price, or to sell them TO
others when they do not care about attending
themselves If the Academy had really been
an academy, it would have supplied managers
with copous reserves from which all less I'M
pOTtant members OF their tr0upes might he
drawn. If discord broke out in the orchestra,
or war ragged among the chorus, hundred
substitutes would have been ready to take the
places of the unruly, and the quaTels OF the
mimic lords and ladies never would have been
heard beyond the Hobbies or the greenroom.
As il is, there are only twenty-five or thirty
men in New-York upon whom manager can
call to sing in an opera, the sum of whose
choruscs does not exceed ten minutes in length,
and when twenty of these get obstinate the
house must be closed, and thousands of citizens
must be deprived of their amusement. This
ought to be good lesson to some of our music
loving rich men. IL the recent strike in Four
tccnth-st result in the creation of genuine
public Conservatory of Music it will have been
public blessing.

the course to be pursued in organizing the next
meeting held in this city, we would suggest that
three points should be carefully attended to.
In the first place, proper place OF neetlng
should be secured, and all the proceedings
should be concentrated there. AS TO where the
place of meeting should be we have, of course
no right to dictate if we had we should put
our foot down that it must not be in part OF
the Cooper Institute We would as lief attend
a meeting III a menagerie as i'll that cherries
den, and as for speaking there, no one who Is
not lifted by a sense of duty to his race far
above all considerations of material comfort
would think of it for moment. Beside it is
impossible, except i'll the large hall, to gather
cultivated or intelligent audience in that fated
building. There is something repulsIve in its
very atmosphere.
In the next place, the Association ought to
limit its public work to what can be thoroughly
and prOftably accomplished without WEAKNESS
at a few carefully planned meetings. They lay
out altogether too much work, and promise
great deal more than they can reasonably hope
to perform. Much of what they promise, be-
side, would not be profitable 70 the public,
although we are glad to admit that the greater
part of it is of real interest and value. But
they crowd into three days what would take
week to present properly, and they have but
little control, apparently, over the papers that
are read
The need of this control is the third point
that ought to meet with earnest attention from
the Association. What is the of having
any organization at all, if there is no guaranty
from the character of the officer that every
paper presented shall be pertinent, valuable,
and interesting? Every paper might be so, but
every paper that is read, is not, by any means.
On Thursday evening, for example, nearly
third of the session was consumed by one OF
the most unmltigated bores We ever had the
misery of listening to. What his name was, is
no matter, but it was neither Mr.. Barnard, who
spoke well and to the point, nor Mr.. White,
the President of Cornell University, who might
have spoken an hour without weaIyiDg any
body. But the Association ought either to
know beforehand by actual perusal of the
speakers manuscript what is to come before its
mecting-and this ought to be the positive rule
in the case of stranger-Or 1t ought to be
insured against disappointment by the we'll
known character of the man. But these are
mistakes that can easily be remedied and
there was so much that was good at these
meetings. we hesitate little to find fault
with obvious defects. Criticism, however, Is
much needed upon the general management
and we venture to hope that the Association
will act upon our suggestion, remembering that
Faithful are the Words of Friend

MEANS IND ENDS

The n. Y. Times copies from Mr.. Greeey's
"RecollectiOns" i'll The Ledger a paragraph
indicating Messrs. Weed and Seward from
the charge of cheating Mr.. Clay out of the
Wing nomination for President in 1910, wherein
be says in substance that they chose what
seemed to them the safest and most effective
means TO secure the ascendancy of Wing prin-
ciples. Wherein, says The Times,
better definition Of the scope and purpose Of poll
tics than this could scarcely be given; and II is illustrated

apply the same rule to our pending city election
Comments In The Tribune.
Gen. Harrison and Mr. Clay had both been
in political life for nearly forty years prior to
the assembling of the Wing National Conven-
ton at Harrisburg in December, 1899. The
most complete accord and sympathy had ever
existed between them. Together they had sup
ported the Administrations of jefferson, Madi-
son, and Monroe. Gen. Harrison had warmly
supported Mr.. Clay for President in 1924, and
had concUred with him in supporting Mr..
Adams when compelled to make a second
choice Gen. Harrison had, as a citizen, warmly
supported Mr.. Adamss reelection in '2S, having
steadfastly supported as a L. S. Senator the
Administration of Messrs. Adams and Clay.
lie had supported Mr. Clay for President in
'32, and been in turn supported by Mr.. Clay in
1896. In short, they were as nearly identical
in their politics as two men well could be.
How, then, does the preference 10y Wings of
Cen Harrison to Mr.. Clay as their candidate
for President in 1Sl0Taiford ga rule' whereby
Republicans are to vote for "A lifelong bitter
Democrat like Hoffman rather than a steadiaSt
Republican like Darling7 We cannot detect
the analogy.
AS to Gen. Grant, we hope to find him On
the Republican platform of Equal Rights to all
citizens of the United States; but we cannot
now point to any act or declaration which
places him there. He may be all right-we
hope he Isl yet we cannot help seeing that

the adverse party, and who helped it to beat
us badly ON the 9Th inst, are all noisy Grant
