NEW YORK, Dec. Z, 1869.
The Great Clerical Scandal.
ii had the opportunity of being born once
again and my opinion were asked, should wish
to open my eyes upon some just such world as
this, where Byrons died once century for the
purpose of having their regulations raked by
Harriet Beecher Stoves, and where gentemanly
Journalists were being shot down by McFar-
lands to furnish the occasion for being g'apotheo-
sized by Henry Ward Beechers. l should like
to feel certain Of waking up in the morning and
find waiting for me damp papers full of vr-
tuous and indignant editorials; should enjoy
The prospect of hearing on Sunday clerical ex-
eases for libertines upon one hand, and very
general clerical denunciation of the
eXcusers on the other. / should not
like to dwell in some supernal COM
munity whose "sense" it was not easy to shock.
l fear that whatever the beatitudes of that
higher state of being, / should yearn after the
natural cussedness' of New York, and long to
thrill with the sensation of perceiving how
political newspapers can throw the small con-
sideration of politics to the winds when they
come to face great moral wrong! The air is so
full of gossip concerning the Richardson-McFar-
land case that feel as though but little ought
TO be expected OF me. Enough to say that Mr.
DecCnor cOnIlnueS 10 assert MS innocence, but
holds himself open to proof of his guilt. On
Sunday he artfully excited his congregation to
the highest pitch by reading to them
a chapter in the New Testament in
which express mention was made of the rela-
lions between man and wife, and of the only
crime which might justlfably destroy those
relations. Mr.. rockingham, however, with less
art, but more candor and courage explained.
not excused himself, CLOSED over the great
Objectionable feature in the affair, namely, the
fact that adultery only is sanctioned by the New
Testament as a sufficient cause for divorce and
with the glib glamour of pet parson who nm
derstands the people to whom he is taIl,ipo
probably set himself right with the majority of
his hock. AS for the clergy in general who tool,
part against Beecher and rockingham, the Rev
Mr.. Fuller represented them most strongly. and
said he thought a libertine was more than a
murderer-or that Richardson was worse than
McFarland-and left it to be inferred that his
opinion of his delinquent brethren was not ex-
cessiyely high.

"The Overland Routev NJ the Arch.

Last evening, despite the disagreeable wea-
ther, large audience assembled at the Arch
Street Theatre to witness the first performance
In this country of play by Tom Taylor, enti-
tied The Ooerldnd Route, which is appropriately
described on the bills as scenic comedy. Under
the title of The. Overland Mail it was brought
out at the Haymarket Theatre, in London, in
the month of February 1860, and enjoyed long
and successful run.
The first act discloses the saloon cabin OF the
Pacific and Overland steamer Simeon, a scene
very handsomely and effectively mounted.

The Star and the Wave.

A star, enamored Of wave, :.
Looked longingly from heaven one nighi
And as it gazed it cagci grew,
rs And trembcd with delight.
A zephyr, wandering idly by,
O'erhcard its loving words, and bore
Them to the treach'rous wave, that toycd
With the 1ow'ry shore.
The wave upStrctched its limpid arms,
And wooed the star to its embrace,
With many murmured word oil love,
And smiles upon its face.
The foolish star abandoned all
The glory of its high estate,
And piunging downward, sank for aye
In the abyss OF fate.
The parted wave closed Ger its form,
And wandered laughingly along,
Forgetting the love it had betrayed
Singing an idle song.
So many hearts are foolish stars,
That fix their love on beauty's glance,
And walk within the futal light
AS men walk in d trance
A trance that locks their senses up,
Searching their brain with simomo breath,
Then wakens them, TO maGly plunge
Through darkness into death.

Doctor LiyingstOD.

About this mans pilgrimage, life and ca
rr"rthere clusters a good deal of romance.
For months the public mind has been excited
with the question Is he dead o. alive What
has become of him 1t Is beginning to be
IA accepted fact, that the first accounts of
his death are really true, that the story Of
lis tragic, though mysterious death. Is based
upon facts.
periodically We have denial In one shape
and another Of his death. According IN
these stories he Is sometimes seen In one
place and sometimes in another, and we
have been told that certain natives have re-
ported him as alive and well.
The last story put forth to encourage his
friends Is published In some of the Cane
papers, and the declarations are that DR.,
Livingston had arrived in Zanzibar In last
January en- route for home Too much time
has expired since then If he were actually
n. r""'' for EngnOd not to have had some
u's'Ihc' AMI certain knowledge of his where
aboul'' Going to England from Zanzibor
by way of the Ret sea and Alexandria. he
must ere this have reached some noIrt az
that his safe arrival woIld have been te,e.
graphed to England md America some Tina
since.
We fear that the Doctor Las fallen n vic.
tim among the savage tribes, and that thIs
daring man and heroic explorer has laid
down Ills life and come to tragic end.

THE GROWTH OF THE UNITED
STATES.

Many thoughtful people have honestly On.
tertained the opinion and firm belief that by
the annexation Of territory and the bringing
in Of peoples who do not understand and ap.
prcciatc free institutions we should endangcr
the Government and prccpltate Its downfall.
There Is no doubt that such opinions have
been honestly entertained by many. Such
opinions practically endorsed and main.
tancd would have shut up the American
Union TO tho thirteen original States, and
We could never have grown to our present
Dimensions. Fortunately and providcntally
We ovcrlcapcd these boundaries by the Louis.
lana purchase and by the annexation of CAL
ifornia and New Mexico We have by these
acccsslons of territory heightened our cords
and strengthened our stakes, and, what Ia
more, VIC have lndubltablc proofs that we
have not weakened our power as nation by
these acquisitions. II such additions to our
territory have not weakened us, Will further
acquisitions cripple our power and our
strength and lead to decay Most assurcdly
not. 1t Is safe to claim that II the addl-
tional territory and peoples added TO orr
great and growing country has not weakened
us, all further acquisitions which may In the
process of time be made will neither cripple
nor destroy us, as some imagine.
The mission OF the United States Is TO
spread republicanlsm, free principles and
democratic Ideas over the whole earth; TO
produce what Mr.. Burlingame so aptly and
iclicitously calls the Qualification of the hu-
man race" This is what We intend; this is
what we desire. Man was made to be free.
This is his normal condition, aud while this
freedom must be regulated by law, 1t must
be universal, and one man must be as free |
as another. There must be no klngcraft or |
priestcraft, or any other craft that trenches
upon this idea Of human freedom.
The notion prevails to large extent that
ignorant men arc incompetent for self gov
eminent; that Is, that men who can neither
read nor write ought not to vote. We hear
much said about the Ignorant and yIcious
classes and the danger TO our institutions
which arises from this source. Those who
dwell upon such theories and considerations
usually Jump ut conclusions. Facts do not
warrant the conclusion that tho most igno.
rant in book lcaning-that is, thosv who |
can neither read nor write-are the most VIZ |
cious. Vice is not confined exclusively to |
The lowly and the unlettered. The ripe,t in
teIlects and the most cultured minds are
often the most vicious. Mere Intellectual
culture does not make man a lover and n
rcspCcter Of free institutions, nor does IL give
nm upright conscience nor make him saint
lie may be a groveling, miserable wretch,
