The Churches and the Theatres.

In few weeks from now the watering
places and summer resorts will be giving back
to city life their present incumbents. Like
young giants refreshed with new wine or Con-
gress water, the citizens who have sought the
sunshine and the shade, the salt water and the
sweet milk, will be coming back to us, eager
for the fresh novelties of the churches
and the theatres. 1t is pleasant to see
that both these classes of institutions
are Frightening up to receive them and
impart additional relish to last season.
performances. The preachers are already
dropping into the city after their summer vaca-
ton, their cravats bleached whittier than ever,
their brains reburnished and in good trim for
new flights of fancy, and their chronic bron-
chial affections chronic no more until they
want another vacation. The managers, like
the politicians and the bees, Improve each
shining hour" by laying plans for the fall sea-
son while they toss in the surf OF recuperate
at the bars of fancy country hotels. Therefore
we may be certain to have food of redundant
piety in the pulpit and more sensations than
heretofore on the stage during the coming
winter What between the diplomatic ma
nGuvres of Grau and Mapleson Maretzek,
and Pike, and Wallack, Bateman, Tayleure
and Broadway Barney, and Booth and Brough-
ham, there will be no end of variety but it is
to be hoped that the drama will not be for
gotten in the programme. 1t is nearly time
now that some substantial pabulum should be
furnished to the public, both in the theatres
and the churches. The popular palate is about
surfeited with tribes and sweetmeats in the one
class of establishments and with dull political
patitudes in the other.

Ouin,ou. or the British Press.

People in the United States, though sensi-
tive to foreign opinion, have always been able
to indulge their contempt at the ingenious
laundering of the British press in regard to
American politics. London newspaper men
ought to have known us better than any other
class in Europe, but they were usually wrong
in proportion to the ways that were open to
make themselves right, and we were discussed
with less error in Berlin, st. Petersburg or
Milan than in the capital of the British empire
Recently there has been change for the
better, due TO the fact that the war compelled
English journalists to study the United States
merely that writer's might not be behind read
ers in knowledge. An indication at once of
the Improvement and Of the stupidity that
remains in spite Of all efforts Is given in the
appreciation of the character of Thad Stevens
The news and telegraph are accurate and clear.
So is the Times, so long as IL strictly views
the character of the departed Congressman !;
but when it institutes sweeping comparison
with all other Americans il gives us this -
He is the last of the leading Americans who
had the courage to rise above political parti-
sanship." We suppose this judgment of g lead
| ing Americans is framed by accepting as true

Secretary seward ON the situation.

An entertaining and instructive little CONVEX
sation occurred the other day quite inciden-
tally between Mr.. Seward and HERALD cor
respondent, which sets forth satisfactorily the
present views of the Secretary on national
politics. AS to the possibility of great excite
ment in the campaign, Mr.. Seward said: =
''That is something can say nothing about. y
lie hazarded an opinion, however, that slime
would develop" the fact, yea or nay. As to
what the future policy of the administration
will be, that is something ''for him 10 know

suggestion that man of his experience and
position would be heard with great attention
by the people, he gives this lucid thought; =

say anything, If have anything to say. they
will have chance to know what il is.s There
you have him. When he has anything to say
he will say Il, and when he says it it will be
his saying, and will be said. Here is profound
political philosophy, and this nc doubt re-
fleets the precise state of the Premier's mind
He has no political convictions just now and
no opinions that he dare venture. His vacuity
is the consequence of the fact that he actually
does not know where he is in the political tide
This Tammany Convention sent the administra-
ton adrift, and Seward is with it, covering a
careful silence with hint of diplomatic guile
How different from the past, when Seward, at
the close Of every Congress and in the opening
of every struggle, was not happy man till he
could get up to Auburn, get the people together
and make clean breast of his own part of the
case! How instructive fact that man of
fifty years active political life and study of
parties has at the last got no other wisdom
from his experience than such as teaches him
to hold his tongue!

The Negro shooting at Washington.

The scene at Washington the day before
yesterday, when the colored guard was going
to the Capitol to do duty over the remains of
Thad Stevens, has taught us that the negro is
good for something. He can fire into crowd
and kill brother negro; he can also carry
loaded weapons through the streets of peace
full city and Pop away At the passe ri BY with
q sublime indifference as to who may be hurt.
1t is remarkable about the negro that when
ever there is any indiscriminate shooting done,
whether by whites or blacks, there generally
seems to be negro in the way who happens
to be put out of the way, as in this case at
Washington. Without attempting to justify
any assault which might have provoked the
firing, we would like to know why theIe COL
ored troops, who were merely relief guard
Of honor to the deceased Thaddeus, came to
have their pieces loaded while passing through
the city from Georgetown to the Capitol. Does
military rule require that precauton or want
of precaution Does the firing party at a
funeral load with ball cartridge or is a guard
Of honor required to protect the dead with
loaded guns9 We are sure that no such rule
exists. The danger, therefore, of permitting
these poor negro soldiers to carry loaded
weapons, in the use of which they have APP
parenty no discretion, is manfestly great. :.
But this incident in Washington is not the
only evidence Of the questionable proprety Of
employing colored troops in the service unless
reduced to the severest discipline. On the
Plains, where great caution is required "a
avoid collision with the Indians, the colored
troops at the different frontier posts frequently
create much embarrassment by hasty aud in
discreet action, to say nothing of the perpetual

Mexico promises to grow into grand machine
for financial jobbcry. The very name of the
thing has put new life into legion of old
jobs, given up and half forgotten even by their

territorial magnates see vast projects, hitherto
very airy, taking definite form. The labors of

arduous and, as they will be peculiarly i'm

publics, it is of the first Importance that the

course, framed in complete ignorance of what
he was and of all that he ever thought or said.
He was the most absolute partisan that ever

else. Let any one analyze his career casting
away what is due to partisanship, and see how
infinitely little is left.

The NeWark steam Rlnn.

Few men, says the Newark, New
Jersey Advertiser, have been more talk
ed of or wondered at during the past
fortnight than Mr.. Deddrick's steam
man, certainly none in as short an ex-
istence have become so widely famous.
Many persons incredulous1y received
the story of its creation, and ridiculed
the idea of an iron man moved bv
machinery. Several accidents in ex-
perimepting persuaded others that the
project was only visionary, and could
never become an available power. "A
few practical machinists, however,
sympathizing with Mr.. Deddrfok, were
confident of success. Their hopes have
been realized, and now the wonderful
piece of mechanism, If it could but
speak, would undoubtedly exclaim
Homo SWn1l" The delays that were
experienced in Introducing his maies-
ty to the public were accustomed by
weakness of the knees, brought on per
maps by over excitement in view of the
9rtal to which he was to be subjected,
The old spiral springs which we de-
scrlbed as being necessary to throw the
loot forward have been superseded by
stronger ones of more simple construc-
ton. Yesterday steam was generated
sat1sfaltion of admiring friends. Last
night. a trial trip was made through
Rroad street, to Crump's garden, oppo-
site Military park, where the machine
will be exhibited to the public during
the coming week. Mr.. Deddrick has
been almost beseiged by the calls of the
curious, and floods Of letters have
poured in from all parts of the country.
A crowd of Newarkers, the day after
the publication of the description Of the
invention in our columns, thronged
the doorway and e6ectually darkened
the windows of the shop, threatening
to deter the mechinists from completing
their work. Alarge United States flag
which some enthusiastic Individual
has presented to the inventor, has been
arranged so as to allow the "man"
some privacy, and the besiege1s are
dropping off in their attentions. One
day last week committee of five gem
tlemen from Albany called upon Mr..
Deddr1ck, to decide a bet as to whether
there was any reality in the thing, as it
was thought by some that it was only
newspaper hoax. Nearly fifty let

a Kentucky View of j. Y. Brown's
RefeCtfOn

The Louisville Democrat says that it
opposed the nomination of John Young
Brown to Congress, because it. knew
that the House would not receive him,
but says he was fairly chosen. 1t adds:
The issue, then, is, shall the people of
his district or the Congress Of the
United States choose their representa-
tve2 We can consistently answer but
one way-Mr. Brown must be re.elec-
ted. 1t will not do for his district to
take any one else-that would be Civ
ing up the issue. 1t would be saying
that Congress has right higher than
the people, to dictate who SHALL or shall
not represent them. It would be better
to re-elect Mr.. Brown, If the conse-
quence was that his district never had
representative on the floor of Con-
gress. If we give up the right of the
people to choose whom they please un-
der the Constitution, we give up the
right of representation altogether. We
would as soon allow Congress to ap-
point member from the Second Dis.

The Practical Effect of woman suH
rage ON the Size of Political
Parties.
AS to the practical effect woman
suffrage would have upon the relative
size OF political parties, Gail Hamilton
says: no.
Does any one suppose that if female
suffrage were established in any State
to-day, the vote would be materially
changed? Would the Republican party
or the Democratic party be largerin re-
lation to it's rival than it is now? Is il
not true that, as a general thing, the
women of family are, and always
will be, of the same political faith as
1t the other way, and say the men OF
the family always think as the women
do-not necessarily from subserviencv
on either side. but from the great
natural law that birds OF feather flock
together. The contrary is sometimes
assumed. Female suffrage is opposed
on the ground that it would disturb the
harmony of families. That is, women
must not be allowed to speak
because they will oppose men. This
Is tyranny pure and simple. It shows
that the light parts of our maps are q
deluston, and that we are still in bar
barism. But do not think the har-
mony of families would be disturbed,
We know that in religion, which is
equally the t'sphere" of both sexes.
tEere is little disturbance. Many hus.
bands Indifferent to religion have wives
who are interested in it, but it is seldom
that positive, aggressive Universalist
and similar orthodox are yoked to-
gether. When there is any marked
religious leaning, husband and wife
usually lean one way. What difference
does it make then whether the male and
female thought be represented by one
vote or two? Now the one Republican
vote is met by the one Democratic vote
of the neighbor over the way. Then
the two Republican votes will be met
by the two Democratic votes; but the
be few Democratic wives of Republi-
can husbands, but there will be also a
few Republican wives of Democratic
husbands

CoNoERNINa CHEEsE.-I will tell my
readers why epicures eat cheese first.
"Cheese," says Grimod de la Reyniere,
"has the property of taking away from
the mouth and palate all ltaste that may
have been left there by the preceding
dishes, and thus prepares them (mouth
and palate) for the appreciation of the
succulent and delicate things OF the
desert, and the favors of the wines" !"
After cheese, there is no order for the
other plates of desert; they are par
taken Of according to taste. A plate
of desert that is always relished, espe-
cially by gentlemen, is the QIt1tTe mem
didnts. II is composed of dried grapes,
figs, hazlenuts, and sweet almonds. IT
is not eschewed by the ladies either, and

at the effect produced by berry at the
bottom of glass of champagne.-PFof.

JERRY BLACK,
An Unpleasant Chapter In HIS Past
History.

An Unpleasant Chapter 1n HIS Past
We find the following in the Balti.
more Post:
During the latter part of April, 1861,
Judge Black passed through Cumber-
land, Maryland, on his way from
Washington City to Somerset, Penn
sylvania.. It was just after the 10th OF
April, when the Constitution-lovinR
Democrats of this city had shot down
unarmed citizens of Massachusetts, who
were fastening to defend the threatened
capital OF the nation. The people OF
Maryland were considering the ques.
ton whether Maryland should secede.
Judge Black was consulted in the Re
we're House, in the city of Cumberland,
by a citizen of Maryland, on that grave
question, and gave it as his opinion
the only hope for the country was to
adopt the Montgomery Constitution,
which, in his judgment was a better
one than the Constitution of the Union,
and that the secession of Maryland
would conduce to this end, and ought
at once to be accomplished. at the
time, in Cumberland, no secret was
made of this opinion of Judge Black.
1t was publicly given as a reason for
secession by the friends of that meas
ure, and had a great weight, coming
from man who had just held a posi-
tion in Buchanan's Cabinet. This man
Black is now one of the leaders of the
Democratic party, as he was then. He
shapes it's policy, makes it's platforms,
writes the Messages of the President,
and disposes of the patronage of the
Government. Should the Democratic
party come into power, the nation
would be obliged to go to war again to
save the Government from destruction.
