Not the pride Of race, but the strength
of blood, will make him master again.

scHOFIELD's SPEECH,

Here is the speech. which Schofeld
made at the Evarts dinner in New
York and to which no one seems to at
tach special Importance. We do, and
publish it for future reference.
Among the maxims of the old world
it is said the army is the safety of the
Emnire. With equal truth it might be
saidin this country the army is the safe
ty of the Republic. While equally true
yet how different the meaning OF the
words in their application to the two
cases. The army which the Republic
relies upon for its safety is no body of
idle, ignorant men, drilled and dicip-
lined to execute the will of q despot !;
nor yet is il q little NUCLEUS of regular
troops in which is preserved knowl-
edge OF the art of war, ready to be dis
seniinated to an unlimited extent in
time Of need. The army ofthe Repub-
lie is great body of the young men of
the nation, men who are habitually en-
ployed in the arts of peace, but ready
to spring to arms when their country
calls, [cheersl and follow the body OF
regular officers and men who are ready
to lead them to victory. fCheers. How
pCTieCIiy, thouSu pCihdpo uiCOICiDusiy
the country feels this truth-that its ar
my is its main reliance for its prot &C.
ton. [Checrs.l The men whose fidel-
ity, patriotism, courage ard ability have
been tried on the field of battle, wheth-
er it be in the road of commerce and
trade and finance, whetheri it be in the
Legislative halls OF the State-these are
the men the nation trusts. [Cheers.l
They on the other hand ask no reward
from their country for their services
save frank recognition of what they
or profit, but with honest fidelity en-
deavor to do their whole duty in any
sphere to which their country may as
sign them. Let us hope that the army
of the Republic may ever retain its high
character of power, motive and patriot-
ic devotion to duty. [Great cheering

TEST OATH DECISION OF CHIEF JUSTICE
CHASE.

Richmond, Va, November 25.-Chlef
Justice Chase decided this morning that
the iron-clad oath should not be admin
istered to grand jury men, as it rather
hindered than furthered the ends ofjus-
tice. A new grand jury was then sum-
moned under this decision, and its menu
bers will only take the oath to support
the constitution of the United STAKES.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES,

Messrs. PoTT & AVERY, 5 and - c oop-
er Union N. ", have sent us The Pope
not AntichriSt, by the Bishop of Vermont;
The Comedy Of CanOnisation, and The Peo-
pies Magazine.
Bishop Hopkins is so great favorite
with the Southern people that anything
from his pen will be welcomed by them.
In this little posthumous volume (Which
is printed on fine thick paper, very
prcttily bound, and sells for only s1,25,)
the good Bishop recants his former
opinions and fortifies his new position
by an allie and searching exposition Of
the prophecies and the Book of Reyela-
ton in so far as they relate to Anti
christ His arguments will be deemed
conclusive or otherwise according to the
prepossessions of his readers. 1t would
be well if the Protestant mind could be
convinced on this point, and the Bish-
ops book will go tar towards producing
that conviction.
AS an intellectual performance, "The
Comedy OF Canonization" is not, so
clever rs "The Comedy of Convoca-
ton" to which it is reply, but the Ro-
man church is so open to assault that
any scholar or historian could hardly
fail to plant his weapons deeply. The
pamphlet is handsomely gotten-up on
the best paper, and sells for fifty cents.
"THE PRopLE's MAGAZINE" is incom-
parably the best for its price, 25 cents,
published anywhere. 1t is issued in
London by the Society for the Diffusion
of Christian knowledge, whose aim
seems to be not to make money but to
carry out In good faith the object which
its name implies. The colored plate in
the number before us could not De

or four times the cost of the Magazine
itself, aud is equal to some of MIR.
Prang's acknowledgements. Thewood-
cuts are fine, and the reading matter

of the most eminent divines in the
church of England contribute to this
magazine. Those who may think our

GRANr AND THE TEST OArH-Phil.
Sheridan, the great barn-burner of the late
war, 10 recent conversation with some
friends at his home 10 Ohio, is reported In
the Ohio State Journal to have said, in re-
ply to the question why be had stated last
fall that Grant was more Of q Radical than
himself: 1When first took command of
the Fifth District, Gen. Grant sent me an
order to allow no man to sit on q jury who
could not take the ''iron clad OATH /
mildly demonstrated against this, and wrote
to the General requesting modification Of
the order, SO that all who might cote, might
also sit upon ajary."
1t will be- seen from this statement that
the great smoker and horse-talker is not so
reticent as some simple people have been
led to- believe. Whenever it has been
deemed advisable to turn the screws Of op-
preston little tighter upon the Southern
people he has been at no loss for words to
direct his subordinates' how IL, should be
done. II is only when he Is desired to say
something in behalf Of civil liberty and the
preservation of the Constitution, that his
nodesty has SO overcome him as to pre-
vent bis giving utterance to his thoughts.
The horse-talk dodge can deceive the pub
lie no longer. 500

OF opinion, on the basis Of the position of
affairs as shall then be present to them,
the course and methods Of action proper to
be taken on the rnomentous issues before
hecountry. The circumstances OF the po-3
sition are constantly shifting. The modes
Of relief, and the duties Of the crisis will
have to be adapted to exigsncies which no
foresight caa discern aud concerning
which advice at this time would BE rrehfa-
ture, if not presumptuous. i The lines Of
defense in which we are TO bear odr share
If we be permitted I'd do volunteer service
in our own cause, are to be determined
elsewhere, by the general counsels of the
conservatives, and greatly by tie fields Of
action which the aggressive policy Of our
enemies shall expose to ts. Discord may
break them asunder; the executive may
recover some of hia constitutional func-
tons; the military dictatorship may break
down under the universal odium; or the
judiciary may be triumphant in the strug-
gle, change the whole moral aspect Of the
controversy, and enfold us once again
within the embrace Of the Constitution.
In all these possibilities, as ia the worst
conceivable case of being constrained to
confront the full tide Of revolutionary VIC
lenca, it is of the least importance that the
people should be Id condition to commu-
nicate instantly and freely with each other,
and TO take counsel for action with the de-
liberation and unity which become those
who are marching forward to struggle in
which to be defeated is frightful ruin
We therefore implore you to send up to
this convention your ablest, most trusted
and patriotic men. It matters nothing by
what political names they may have been
heretofore called, so they come up accept
ing as fuality all that the war decided on
the points which were at issue, and all the
legitimate consequences Of the abolition of
slavery, and are willing to devote time and
mind and energy in aid of the great object
of the Democratic organization, the estab-
lishment of constitutional rule in the gov
eminent, of peace sud concord among the
people, Of content aud prosperity through
out the land. .5ss.. u Z
