ISAAC TOUCEY,

The maxim De m0rtuis NIL Risi b0RVna is
credltable to human nature, but as a princi-
pie it has been sadly abused and perverted to
restrain honest criticism and condemnation of
evil-doers. 1t is fitting that when man dies
the personal strifes in which he has been en-
gagged should cease, and that those with whom
he has been most warmly engaged in the
great battle of life should pause at his grave,
allow their passions to subside, and endeavor
to take more liberal and more charitable
view of his character and works than it would
be possible to do when living. Indeed, it
Seems proper that when any man passes away
from EARTH fair summing-up of his life
should be made in the interests of truth and
justice, nothing set down in malice, nothing
evil In him extenuated beyond making rea-
sonable allowance for the weaknesses and in
frmities of human nature.
In judging of such man as Isaac Toucey
what can the largest charity urge in his favor

RALPH WALDO EMERSON has declared him
self in favor of womans rights. At least he
has given expression to ten lines of printed sor-
row because of his inability to journey twenty
or thirty miles by rail to attend a gathering
ofthe Fighters. tits true, however, that,
unlike some of the women Fighters, he does
not regard the advocacy of female suffrage as
absolutely imperative" upon him. Moreover,
while he regards woman's claim to the ballot
as founded in equity" and thinks that "the
seriousness and thoughtfulness with which it
Is urged seem to mark an important step in
civilization, he has some doubts upon ''the
precise form in practice it will and ought to
take Evidently, Mr.. Emerson has not for
gotten that he is himself man, and that, as
man, he has some rights which woman is
bound to respect. He is not as enthusiastic
in the woman's rights business as he might be.

THE JUBILEE BUSINESS at the Hub proved
so profitable and poetical that Gilmore finds
rivals springing up on all sides. Philadelphia,
as President Grant and all the rest of the world
know, is to have grand musical tournament
IN the course of six or eight years, prepare
tlons for which are already under way. But
Springfield is much nearer the ''burning axle
tree of the universe than the Quaker City,
and therefore sets down her own particular
Jubilee for the Sth of September. Being
comparatively a small town, and correspond
ingly modest, in pretensions as well as in re-
sources, she exhibits decent regard for the
prophecies of the case 10y limiting her chorus
to three hundred voices, and her big drum to
diameter of three feet. With all this mode
ration, it to be hoped that the Boston papers
will not attempt to suppress the whole affair
by frowning upon the preliminaries.

THE FOLLY or WISE.

WHEN Wise received the tidings of the result
of the Virginia election, he was, unhappily,
at the point of death. But the news infused
new life into his limbs. and enabled him to
take up his bed, although it did not set him
as firmly on his legs as it might have done.
He lifted up his voice also, which was bad
sign, as it has always been for Wise, and be-
came very noisy in returning thanks for his
deliverance from the niggers and the scala
wags. Wise evidently, although able to lift
up both his bed and his voice, is yet
in very bad way, or else is of such devout
turn of mind that he is thankful for the very
smallest sort of favors, and when he has moth
ing at all to be thankful for, is thankful in
spite of the world and fate. The carpet-bag-
ger, Walker, whose election to the Guber-
material chair of Virginia caused both his heart
and his legs to leap with joy, is not a whit
better than the xeriest scalawag that has
emigrated to the late G. S. A. in search of
Office, if his public utterances both before and
after his election are to be taken as indica-
tions of his sentiments; while several negroes
were candidates for the State Legislature on
the Walker ticket, and elected in opposition
to the despicable creatures over whose defeat
Wise became so iubilant.

NAVAL STAFF RA NK.

THE subject Of naval star rank is one OF frequent
and, at this time, necessary discussion in the medi-
cal and general press 1t is be regretted if any
disposition to take sides and contend for "a party
triumph should induce either line star to overlook
the merits OF question which concerns the whole
navy. AS no stafr rank in any way conflicts with the
military authority of the line, it would seem to be
essentially the interest of the line to demand that
every encouraging induCement be offered to bring
into the service their aids AMI associates the most
capable and respectable star officers, and espe-
Cally as their dignity is increased by the worth
and dignity of those they command.
The principle ii may be said the natural law upon
which the whole matter can be settled, is so simple
and clear that any in the service or out of it,
can understand ii. The principle is tnat gentlemen
rendering service in the stan corps OF the navy may
confidently look TO reaching position OF rank and
emolument corresponding to that which respectable
men of their vocation would attain civil life. This
principle is such natural law that a unanimous
agreement of the whole service, and OF Congress- to
compromise or arrange the matter short of the law,
would leave the same ncOngruity and elements OF
discord which now exist. Individuals are no more
responsible for the disturbance than for the power of
gravitation. compromise against principle is
equivalent to agreeing that water should run up hill
and unless the service recognizes this law, it cannot
enter into competition with the inducements to
remain in civil life, and must be content with an nfe-
riOr and incompetent staff.
Those who recognize the breadth and power of this
principle will have the statesmans honor of giving
efficiency and harmony to the naval service, peace
and harmony never known in its existence, and
never to be known while there is such dspace-
ment OF any part OF the machinery The next and
subordinate condition is to arrange the position of
staff officers in the naval service so that it SHALL
with advancing years. not be inferior to that of able
and honorable members of the same vocation in
civil life, and shall keep pace with that of line Off
GERS Of equal years.

PRESIDENT SARMIENTo, of the Argentine
Republic, who was for several years the en-
lightened representative of his country at
Washington, has infused new life into the
nation over which he has fortunately been
called to rule. Since the Spanish colonies of
South America first threw off the yoke and
set up for themselves none of them has
been favored with another chief magistrate
who possessed so many admirable qualifca-
tions for the position. The result is already
manifest. Despite the oppressive drawback
of the Paraguayan war, the Argentine Re-
public is showing unmistakable signs of pros
perity During the past year between twenty
and thirty thousand emigrants have sought a
new home within its borders, while not more
than twelve thousand, in the same period
ventured to take up their abode in Brazil
The latter country has for years enjoyed the
reputation of being the ouly one in South
America which was blessed with a stable
Government, affording full protection to per-
son and property, but the Argentine Repub-
lie can now fairly and justly claim to be
added to the meagre list. And if Brazil is to
be weighed down for an indefinite period by
the incubus of human bondage, it will not be
long before its smaller neighbor will lead il

SUMNER AS AN EULOGIST.

In his prosy euogy on Thad Stevens, Sena-
tor Sumner prated almost entirely about what
the deceased had done for the negro and against
slavery, and said monuments ought to be erect
ed to Josiah Quincy, Joshua r. Giddngs, and
Old Thad., whom he selected as the three of all
who had ever served in the House since the
Government was formed that deserved to have
their memories COMMUNICATED by the Ameri-

Sumner made an apt selection. 1t was Josiah
