A telegram from Baltimore praises the de-
pertinent of the German visitors to that
city during the late Singing Festival; and We
do not know city in which an example OF
the kind was more needed. The truth is, the
whole German people, for several ages, being
cut off from participation in public affairs,
have been studying to good purpose the
science of social enjoyment and the art of do
nestle festivity. The popular taste in Ger
many has been refined, and the popular ma
ture kindly and if the TeutOns have not had
the grace of their French neighbOrs, neither
have they been cursed by o peryading French
selfshness. From the German element in our
population we anticipate a great many good
consequences; and one of these will be, We
hope, general increase of gTegarious amenity.
my heart" says Addison, naturally over
L" flows with pleasure at the sight of pros
porous and happy multitude, insomuch that
" at many public sOlemnities cannot forbear
expressing my joy with tears that have
stolen down my cheeks" We fancy, there
fore, that the great moralist might have had a
good comfortable "cry" in baltimore last
week. Perhaps it was the singing for music
is o wonderful mOllfier of the passions, unless
it be of the martial variety, or joined with one
of the Boston cannonades. Perhaps it was the
lager which mildly stimulated the Baltimore
good fellowship-perhaps the excellent smOk-
ing tobacco which can be purchased in that
city. Whatever the cause, we gladly accept
the resulting serenity.

We shall hear, of course, that the verdict of
acouittal in the murder trial at Washington
yesterday, is due TO the facts that the defend
ant was a negro and that six of the juTymen
who tried her were negroes. We take leave in
advance to pronounce the inference absurd.
1t will be quite possible, by proscriptive laws
and unjust determinations against colOred
| men, to arouse feeling among the Southern
negroes that might lead to their looking upon
| crimes against white men as q pardOnable re-
taliation, to be lightly punished. But the
facts show that wherever they have been
treated with any approach to justice, negroes
have been quite as ready to enforce
the law against criminals of their own
color as the most exacting whites could
demand. There have been many such
instances already at the South, and the case
of acquittal yesterday in Washington is not so
different from some notable jury trials in our
own State, wherein no colored men were con-
cerned, as to warrant inslnuations against the
blacks.

some such way, something may be done IN
correct lOng-existing evils, and to elicit thu
better qualities of the Red Men, so that thew
or TIER children may be fitted to enjoy the
benefts of our political institutions. On the
plan here proposed, the money invested for
them in payment for their hunting-grOunds,
with the cash saved by abolishing the present
expensive SYSTEM, would enable the whole
Indian tribes to be supported as comfortably
as any equal number Of our farming pOpula-
tion--even suppOsing the Red Men lazily re-
fused to earn anything for Their own support
and profit. If the Reservations for receiving
the remainder of their race should be located
CONTINUOUSLY, they might, with the Inhabitants
sufficiently civilized, be entitled to organization
as a Territory, with ultimate prospect of be-
coming o State of the Union, as the present
"Indian Territory" occupied by Cherskees,
Choctaws, &C., should be.
BY bringing into contiguous Reservationslp
on one fair-sized tract the relics OF tribes now
scattered over vast regions, the management
of Indian affairs can be simplifed, cheapened,
and improved. Error and abuse would thus
be more easily detected and corrected; cOrrup-

can possibly be while Indians and pioneers
are intermixed over regions so widespread as
the present frontiers and hunting grounds"
It may be objected that such concentration
would be inconsistent with the preservation of
"tribal distinctions" to which some people yet
cling with a sort of antiquarian reverence, in
harmony neither with the spirit of the age, nor
with the genius of our Government If such
savage distinctions should be encouraged,
why object to organizations for preserving the
cannish peculiarities of several natiOnalities of
civilized white men that are represented by
millions of emigrants on our shoresf The true
policy of American nationality is to discourage
rather than foster such distinctions among
the people under its protection, so far az poiti-
cal and civil rights and organizations are con-
cerned.

many princes, the distress of finance, the com

There can no longer be doubt at home or
abroad that the American Government means
to perform its unpleasant duty of neutrality
with something like grim earnest. On Monday
night with company of marines and sailors,
Marshal Barlow captured a party of fifty Gu
ban recruits, and lodged them in Fort Lafay-
cite, whence, we are glad to hear, they will
soon 90 free. The loss of this band is depress-
ing to the local energies Of the Cuban cause,
and, to add to its gravity, we understand that
the Cuban Junta have mysteriously disap-
peared. Their work will probably make their
whereabouts known again.

People find fault with Packer, the Demo
"cratic" candidate for Governor of Pennsylva-
mia, because, they say, in all his enterprises
"he has steadily worked for Packer aud for
Packer only" Meaning to see that in the
coming battle Packer has fair play, we beg
leave to ask whom Packer should work for il
he does Mt work for Packerf To the best OF
our knowledge and belief, that is 1.-THE Demo-
"cratico style, and has been ever since the
primitive age of Andrew Jackson. We hardly
ever knew PROMINENT and active "DemOcrat'
who did Mt coin nlcley out of his politics; and
we will say if the gubernatorial stool of Penn
sylyania is for sale, and Packer has the money
to buy it, that at the end of his term nobody
will be able fairly to accuse him of making
bad bargain.

The Car, by an act of wholesale and arbi-
trary liberality like his ukase manumitting the
seIfs has abolished at one sweep the hereditary
character of the Russian priesthood, body
numbering, with their families not less than
seven hundred thousand. This giant reform
has been accomplished without injustice to
vested interests; the priesthood is better pro-
vided for than before, and more equally dis
tributed. 1t is true that such a reform would
have made revolution in any other country
than Russia, and it is also true that Russia is
a great despotsm, tempered not by epigams,
but by such measures as this.

to any others, is clearly implied in the extra
ordinary admissions of Mr. John Graham
counsel for Justice Bowling, who in the course
of weak speech said: "NO man not insane
"would employ him" (Mr. McClelland, the
plaintiff) Gin that Court while Judge Downing
remained on the bench. Judges were but
"men, and the complainant, if he went there
"must speak to deaf ears, or to ears already
"preiudiced against him." If that is not
throwing up the case, we are at fault in our
understanding of his language.

We cordially commend the action of the Pa
cifc Railroads in reducing the fare for emil
grants to San Francisco. They will soon find
that their course will prove as sagacious as it
is patriotic. Fifty dollars from New-York to
San Francisco is q sum so small, that it cannot
fan enormously to increase the emigration,
which is to help build up the Territories on
which these railroads must, after all, depend
in the future for their main business.

The primal principal OF progress is to
hold fast to that which is good and yet
frankly to accept the teachings of the
advancing age, to open the eyes with
untlinching vision, yea, with a stern
provision to the light that is shining
about us and even to that which is yet
emily dawning. Short.sighted, dull,
narrow men grope by the aid of formu-
laries as blind begger follows his little
dog with staff and string: and on the
other hand yisionaries are for vaulting
over the well fixed fences of use with
out fearing the ditch beyond; and hail
with enthusiasm any experiment, if ii
is only novel. To preserve the just
mean is the true secret of wisdom. This
law of progress, applicable to society
in its wider aspects, we see violated
daily by the Red Republican inno'
vators, who arc trying all manner
of rash experiments in government
In the narrower field of education
one upon which less general inter
ests are brought to bear, these same
revolutionists are trying the education
of both sexes and all colors together,
are abolishing the study of those sub
iects that have proved the successful
discipline, the fertile ed-bed, and the
elevating and refining influence that
have formed the mighty teachers, sages

yirginia.

The people of Virginia nominated
candidates for Office on GRANTS public
declaration that the vague oath that
they had "never given aid or comfort to
the rebellion" would not be required
of them. Informally instructing Cen
eral in Louisiana. GRANT had expressly
declared that he had so instructed CAN
BY. in Virginia:
repeat to you, as heretofore, that
the members of the Louisiana Legislature
are only to take the oath prescribed by their
Constitution, and are not required to take the
test oath prescribed in the Reconstruc-
tion Acts. Generals MEADE and CANDY
are acting on this view of the case.
(Signed,) U. 5. GRANT.
1t is said now that he will go back on
this; after doubly confirming it by a
submission of the very question to the
people of Virginia, and receiving their
Overwhelming answer. There is in this
something too shameful to be credited
without sure and final confirmation of
it. For GRANTS own sake, for his own
fame as soldier and man, we hope
he has not made so disgraceful surren-
} der to Radicalism. Even the New York
Tribune hears of it with no satisfaction,
and said on Saturday:
We do hear that General Candy per
ssts in his purpose of exacting the iron
clad oath of every member of the new
Legislature, and deeply regret it, We
see no end to be achieved by it but that
of converting the triumphant Walker
party into an anti-administration party,
and embittering the political feuds of
Virginia for years to come. If the eff
feet be to deprive the majority of Uni
ted States Senators and enable the
minority to elect them, the wrong will
be greater and the blunder more fatal.
We must cherish the hope that General
; Candy will yet be induced Ito accept
the situation" as fully, if not so hearth
! ly, as the late rebels appear to have
done.

LETTER FROM WHITE
SULPHUR SPRINGS.
Fire ut the Springs-A Dry Goods
sierra Partly Burned-Narrow Es-
cape-The Loss and Insurance.


WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
GREENBRIER COUNTY, w. VAr 7
August 10.
At 3 o'clock this morning an alarm OF
fire was sounded, causing much alarm
among the inmates of both the hotel
and the cottages, each fearing for the
safety of near and dear friends. 1t was
soon agcertained, however, that the 1lre
was in the dry goods store near the
Springs, and, with the exception OF n
number of gentlemen who FASTENED TO
the spot and aided in extinguishing the
flames, everybody returned to their beds
and resumed their slumbers. The origin
of the fire is unknown, though 1t is sup
posed lot of matches may have been
ignitcd by rats. From the appearance
Of the store this morning, the fire started
about the centre of the rear wall, where
the flames had eaten quite through. a
quantity of valuable silks, said to have
been stored in drawer here, were en-
tirely consumed, as well as large guam
tity of shirts which were on the upper
shelf. The flames must have been very
hot, for though they did not extend a
tensiyely Gharred and blistered, and a
large quantity of goods destroyed. Much
damage was also done by water. The
upper story of the building, occupied as
millinery store by Nine. GrOdet, and
as sleeping apartments, escaped damage.
Two young men, clerks in the dry goods
store, were sleeping in back room last
night, but having been up late they did
not awaken easily, and thealarm was
gwen by young girl occupying front
room, who was awakened by the smoke
finding Its way into her apartment,
There was keg of powder in the store,
which stood just under a quantity OF
cotton batting, that was all in a blaze
when the young men reached the spot
but one of them, with great bravery and
presence of mind, rushed into the flames
and, Seizing the keg, threw it out of the
window. A barrel of coal oil was on the
other side of the store, but was not
reached by the fire. Had the powder
exploded nothing Could have saved the
whole row of buildings from destruc.
tion, and there might have been serious
loss of life. There is an insurance ON
the stock of $4,000 in the Franklin Fire
Insurance Company of Wheeling. West
Virginia. The loss will probably moi
exceed half that sum.
The fire has, of course, been the grea,
topic this morning; and while many
freely admit that they did not hear tbe
alarm, Others declare that they thought
it ruse to get them out of their rooms
that others might gain possession.
