All other temporal blessings are comparatively

4 New Theatre for Readings.

The multitude of READERS" who followed In
the wake of Hon. Mrs. Yelverton, Mr.. Charles
Dickens, Mrs. Kemble, the Countess de la
Morliere and Mrs. Scott Siddons have gradu-
ally disappeared. But an altogether new thea
tire for readings" was opened yesterday in
the Supreme Court, where, in the course Of
the ssGrifith Gaunt" and Round Table libel
suit, Charles Reade VS.. Charles II. Sweetzef
ct 01, Mr.. George vandenhof, the well known
actor and elocutionist, was invited, on behalf
of the plaintiffs, to read ''GrifIlth Gaunt," in
order to enable the jurors to determine upon
its alleged impurity as literary work. A
novel scene in court was thus presented. Mr..
Vandenhoff, who at first seemed to be reading
against time at velocipede rate, became in
terested himself, as he rapidly turned over
page after page. and his interest was commu-
nicated to the jurors, whose faces, intently
fixed upon him and expressing the different
emotions excited by the story, reminded the
spectators of one of Hogarth's famous pictures.
It must have been relief to the jurors to
enjoy SO unusual an entertainment as that
given by Mr.. Vandenhof-an entertainment
which might have been still more interesting
had Mr.. Charles Reade himself been the
reader. As it. was, the counsel for the de-
fendants became impatient, and, seeming to be
apprehensive that too favorable an impression
would be produced by the ''reading," abruptly
interrupted it by motion for the exclusion OF
the book from being offered in evidence, and
for judgment on the pleading, upon the
assumption that the plaintiff had not proved
that he was the author Of the book. The qnes-
ton was argued at length, after the jury had
been dismissed until Monday, when Judge
Clerke win probably decide the questions
which were raised yesterday. The case Is
fully reported in another column.

ne n1sfrSpslisan Exoiss Law.

The discussion Of tho Metropolitan Excise
on Wednesday and Thursday does not seem
likely to lead to speedy repeal or even modi-
fcation Of the present law by the New York
Legislature. Nevertheless the arguments
which several democratic representatives and
German republican delegates from New York
city have presented to the committee In favor OF
essential notifications are undenably strong.
General Sigel, who headed the German depu-
tation from this city, introduced bill Of Mr..
Hodges, Of Brooklyn, which, he said, was not
intended to repeal this law, but to amend such
portions OF 1t as were, In the opinion of
large number Of citizens of New York, oppres-
siye and immoral He objected to- arbitrary
arrests by the police, and denounced as
unnatural the section which compels child
TO become the accuser Of its parent He
asked that liquor stores should be closed only
during certain specified hours on Sunday. He
proposed, not unreasonably, that violations OF
the law should be punished by fine and
imprisonment like other misdemeanors, and
the violator should be reported to magistrate,
and not arrested and imprisoned by police
man. Other delegates opposed the law as
unconstitutional; as converting the police and
the Excise Commissioners into Judiciary; as
placing upon particular. trade restrictions
from which othor trades are free; as distin-
gushing In favor of q class, the rich versus
the poor-in fine, as being at once despotism
and failure. II was shown that there Is
more liquor sold in New York without than
sumption Of liquor and Sunday drunkenness
illustrate the old Scriptural statement that
''where the law is there doth sin much more
abound" General Sigel earnestly defended
the rights of his countrymen to enjoy the
habits to which they are accustomed, whether
on Sunday or any other day, and Colonel
Murphy was shocked at hearing Rev. Mr..
Taylor call upon God to palsy the arm Of any
body who disagreed with his own Sabbatarian
opinions. In replying to General Sigel Rev.
Mr.. Taylor had made this pious invocation,
after declaring that s'the Sabbath was an
American right, and no foreigner should be
permitted to bring European Sabbath here. =
He also made the mild declaration that ''he
was not only in favor of the law, but if he had
his will he would sweep the whole liquor
interest and trade into the deepest pit" III
the Germans persist in going to the opposite
extreme and demanding the removal Of all
restrictions upon the Sunday trafic-against
which the feeling in the Legislature is still too
strong-''they may says our Albany cor
respondent, 'spoil all the efforts Of the friends
of modification. 1t win be some time, how
ever" he adds, ''before the bill comes out of
the hands of the committee" Meanwhile
public opinion in favor Of rational and just
modification Of the Metropolitan Excise law is
steadily gaining ground.

The ALASKA Investigation FizzIc.

We publish to-day the report Of the Com
mttec of Congress relative to the bribery in
vestigation concerning the Alaska purchase
money. There Is nothing new In the report
beyond what has appeared from time TO time
In the HERALD, except the conclusions OF the
committee, and in these II Ia stated there Ii no
evidence to show that members Of Congress or
the press had been bribed. But II n clear from
the evidence that some OF tho Bohemians In
Washington did make desperate efforts 10 get
hold Of q portion of the Alaska purchase
money. The committee exonerates, however,
the respectable portion Of the press and the
press generally. The only lobby fund used, ss
far as was proved, was that paid 10 Mr.. X. ).
Walker in the shape Of fee. According 10
the statement OF the committee seven millions
and thirty-flvc thousand dollars were forwardedI
to Barring Brothers for the Russian govern
ment, though IL is known there was one check
drawn for only five millions. The balance Of
two million one hundred and sixty-ave thou
sand dollars appears 10 have been swallowed
MP in commissions, fees and costs. The COM
mittee complains that Il could not get at all
the information desired; 20 that there still re-
remains q cloud over the Alaska purchase
transactions.

A RAILROAD WAR Of large proportions is
threatened between the English bondholders
of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway
on the one hand and the directors Of that

cause Of the dispute is the alleged failure Of
the latter or their agents to pay the interest,
due and past due, on the mortgages Of the
ATLANTIC and Great Western Railway, as agreed
to in the lease accepted by the Erie Company.
As several railway kings and an English

John Bright ON Ocean Penny Fostase'
AT banquet Of the Associated Cha tuberS u

AT banquet Of the Associated Chs, ,ubers u
Commerce held the other evening in London
John Bright made Characteristic speech. and
urged, we are told, the Importance and neces-
sity Of adopting the system Of ocean penny
postage. There is no public man living now
in England whose name is SO extensively
and honorably associated with reform as John
Bright. Since 1882 up until the present time
there has been no reform movement in Great
Britain to the success of which he has not
largely contributed. Mr.. Bright is the very
man to take up the question of cheap ocean
postage. 1t is one Of those improvements
which to prove successful requires only the
advocacy Of such man. The times are
ripe for change. There is but one argument
that can be useds against ocean penny post
age-that it viii not pay. This, however, is
an argument that has no solid foundation to
rest upon. All the facts are against 1t. 1t is
truth which cannot be gainsaid, that in pro-
portion as national and international postage
has been cheapeued so has it become SER
viceable and so has it proved remunerative.
The ties which now bind Great Britain to the
United States are SO numerous and SO strong
that facilities for the communication of thought
and feeling, not to speak Of more substantial
interchanges, for the present cannot be sufi-
ciently multiplied. A two cent postage be-
tween this country and Great Britain would be
Immediately followed by similar arrange
,nent between this country and Germany. The
arrangement would be a gain to all con-
cerned. It would be o special gain to the
United States, for which reason we hope, not
merely that Mr.. Bright win keep up the fire,
but that it will be warmly responded to on this
side. The thing has but to be started to
prove success.
