Whether or not the Washington printers,
forming the Columbia Typographical Union,
shall admit themselves into the society of n
son of Mr.. Frederick Douglass, is question
that has created some stir, and has finally been
postponed until the 10Th of June. As the Ma
tional Typographical Union meets in Albany
some days before that date, we presume it will
take the opportunity TO settle this question for
the printers of Washington, and those of the
whole country as well, in accordance with
the liberal principles that should govern so
enlightened a craft. Meanwhile it is nOtewOr-
thy that the rolls of the NewYork Union al
ready contain the names Of women printers,
and, if VIC are not mistaken, negro compositOrs
at one point in the South have received the
recognition of the local Association.

This denunciation is tolerably sweeping
and, of course, there are many exceptions 70
its application. There are bright ornaments n
the dramatic profession now, as there alwavs
have been; but Miss Logan is right in the
spirit of her remarks, and we think II was
quite time that the little army of women who
aim at the abolition Of social and polticol
wrongs turned their batteries against this hor.

The dirty drama makes more sin and misery
than low wages and unfair determinations Of
sex. Women ought to be much more concerned
about domestic purity than tho right of suf.
frage, and will do a better deed by looking
after the morals of the young than
by getting themselves into Congress
or the Common Council. Tie loose
drama can be reformed by woman, we believe
and by her alone. Let the priestesses of fash
ion put the wild license Of opera boufEe and
the orgies of the leg drama under the ban, and
such performances will soon be swept from the
theaters. 1t may be said that if Responsibility
holds alOof lower class of sensualists win
rush in, and the plays get worse instead of
better. But experienced managers will tell us
how mistaken is this fear. The bulk Of ouI
places Of amusement must depend upon the
respectable classes for support The feverish
passions of the viler sort of men are hard to
satisfy, and their patronage is always an I'M
stable dependence. The theater offers q grand
field for the exercise of wOman's reforming
abilities, and she can exercise them so easily
that we shall be surprised if Miss Logan'S hint
is not taken.

cialy IN TimbuctoO and the Cannibal Islands.

There is reason for believing that the present
period will probably be regarded by future
historians as extremely important so far as the
social relations Of mankind are concerned.
The dominant distinction Of our own time
seems to be, that whereas in other ages, as
nations advanced in opulence and refinement,
the number of their slaves steadily increased,
IL ia now the rich and polished peoples which
are striving to be rid of Slavery as an impedi-
ment and an incumbrance. In Athens the
slaves exceeded the freemen in the proportion
of between two and three TO one, and in Rome
the proportion of inhabitants reduced to scryi
tude was probably much greater. In notes
furnished Boswell by DR.. johnson, for a law
case in which the former was retained in
EdinborO', the Doctor says: at must be
"agreed that in most ages many countries
"have had part of their inhabitants in a state Of
slavery; yet it may be doubted whether Slay-
Gerry can ever be supposed the natural con.
edition of man."
The Southern Shareholders used to say, in
tone of deep complaint and indignation, that
they had tho whole civilized world for an
enemy; and we believe that Mr.. Calhoun once
made similar remark in the Senate. 1t must
he admitted THAT lll6 teHuCnCJ VI CtNllHtLlVh
is in the direction of emancipation; and II 1t
were not so, the value of material and intellee-
tual progress might well be questioned for
the enlightenment which fraternizes with the
naked and bIood-smeared chiefs of Africa, IN
the most detestable commerce conceivable, Is
like the whlted sepulcher, full of blackeaing
bones and of rottenness.
The expedition under the command of Sir
Samuel Baker and the patronage and protec.
ton Of the Government OF Egypt, for the sup
preston of the Slave Trade on the Nile, seems
to us TO be full of significance. This is liter
ally carrying the war into Africa; and if Slay-
cry can be extinguished, or even materially
modified throughout any considerable portion
of that continent, the advance will be marked
and encouraging. Slavery may be considered
as substantially doomed in the Western World.
1t must disappear in Cuba, and, sooner or
later, in Brazil. We do not know with pre-
cision what social forms may succeed it; but
| in the necessity of things, must they not be OF
an advanced and ameliorated type9

pressly to pay that Debt (See Legal Tender

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-12-08

As WE anticipated, when we saw
the statement, Professor AGAssIs de-
mics saying that "if any man was a
believer in the book Of Genesis, he
did not wish him to come TO his lee
lures" What he did say was this,
that " Se theological Interpretation
Of the work Of Genesis giving six
thousand years as the age of the
world was a ~hindrance to the under
standing OF geological evidence. and
no who started with this idea.
and allowed his researches to be in
huenced by it, could be a geoIogist.U
This is very different thing from i'm
pugning the Book Of Genesis itself.
when he only calls in question the in
depreciation which some have given
to it.; and especially when the idea
that the elements Of the earth e
first created just six thousand years
ago is exploded even among theolo-
gians themselves. No man can sue
cessfully pursue a science and set out
with prior conclusions, which it may
or may not confirm.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-12-08

THE Philadelphia Age will not posi-
lively say that Mr.. GREEDY is a hard
swearer, though he sometimes comes
close to the description, but does posi-
lively affirm that he is occasionally a
sly joker. And in proof refers to the
wandering %innocents composing the
Committee of Ways and Means of the
House during the last summer vaca-
ton. The Age says:
He cOngratulates them on the de-
lights Of their summer travel, and the
. seducing luXuries' they found on
their route; concluding with the fol-
lowing polite hint about the cost of
these trips, and who ought to pay for
it: All the members of the Commit
tee had a hand in this gorgeous eXcur-
sion except Mr.. Schenck, and he went
to Europe. The whole body ought,
therefore, to be in excellent training
for the winters work, and we shall
expect from them during the next ses-
sion the most intense application to
business. We need hardly say that
the honorable gentlemen will of course
defray their own expenses. Mr..
-Schenck undoubtedly paid the cost Of
his European tour out Of his own
pocket, and the country would like to
take it for granted that his colleagues,
who enjoyed their summer junketing
on this side the ocean, win follow his
excellent example, In the emphatic
language of ArtemUs Ward, 'Sar-
kasm.' Did Mr.. Schenck pay his eX-
penses? VIII the Committee pay
theirs?

AT the time of impeaching Presi-
dent JOHNSON, it viii be remembered
how the country was ransacked for
Impeachment testimony, true or false.
SAMUEL B. ARNOLD, one of the Tor
tugas prisoners, has published in the
Augusta Chronicle an account of his
arrest, trial and confinement on the
charge of completely in the assassina-
ton Of Mr.. LINCOLN, in which APP
pears the following paragraph:
About the time Of the impeachment
Of Andrew Johnson, and when the
Radicals were endeavOring to impli-
cate the President in the assassination
Of Lincoln, a carpet-bagger named
Gleason, the present Lieutenant-GOV-
ernOr of Florida, Was sent to the Dry
Tortugas for the purpose of taking the
" voluntary statements Of the pris-
Oner5 with regard to that affair.
When Gleason arrived, Mr.. Arnold
was sent for by the former and asked
to make his voluntary" statement.
Gleason at the same time giving him
very plainly to understand that if
cDLlAt Ollt El.t tDNlu Dt implicated
in the assassination that il would be
all the better for the prisoners-thus
offering them inducements to commit
perjury and ruin a man as innocent as
themselves. Arnold and his fellow
sufferers, however, nobly spurned the
bride, and stated exactly what they
knew about the affair. After Arnold
had drawn up his statement, Gleason
added an affidavit entirely changing
the construction of the document,
which the former refused to sign.
Gleason then applied to Major An
drews, the cOmmandant, who or
dered Arnold to sign as directed, upon
pain Of being shot if he again refused.
Arnold told him that he was his pris-
oner and he had the power to do with
him as he liked, but that he would
die rather than sign the paper. An
drews, for a wonder, did not have
him shot, and Gleason departed with
his voluntary statements. Q
