The report of Mr.. EmersOn's lecture, this
morning, is the best that corps of phonOgra-
piers not to be excelled in this city could
make, under the very unfavorable circum-
stances. Some whimsical notion led the janitOr
to interfere with them, and 40 10 impair the
pleasure with which that larger audience,
counting thousands for every single individual
reached last night by Mr.. Emerson's voice,
follows to-day his seer-like utterances. The
vexation is one of frequent occurrence; and it
is not likely to be remedied until those having
such matters in charge get it beaten Into their
heads that, for all practical purposes, the first,
not to say the only, persons in such an audience
requiring special attention are those through
whom the orator addresses the Continent and
the Civilized World-not the beggarly thousand
or two of other listeners gathered in tho Hall.

one quality that distinguishes the American
from all other men is his Discrimination to rest

tan life. The spirit of protest against political

of knowledge and the organization OF its sup
ply: the sense of individual responsibility to
God that led to a corresponding sense OF IN
dependence before men, were the influences
that shaped tho character OF that mighty

We need not copy the exaggerations OF their
gloomy and ascetic orthodoxy. but the spirit

We profess and practice more Christian and
catholic tolerance than they, acquired by the
light which they transmitted to VA. But this

We cannot afford to forget or neglect the
lessons of our origin. There is no knowledge

our brighter day. The nearer we can folio"

ideal never yet reached.

THE NEW COURT HOUSE.

The original plan of the New Court House
contemplated, among other things big dome
with u statue upon the top of it. But the new
Commissioners have changed all that They
have found out that the dome will cost good
deal of money; that domes are not now in
season that in short, there are many reasons
for mutilatlng the original plan of the archi-
tect. The sapient Commissioners proposed to
substitute for the dome a Mansard roof. but
the brutal stupidity of that suggestion being
at length made apparent to them, they have
left the change to their new architect, who
ayows his ability to cap the structure with
tasteful and appropriate ornament
We should like to be informed what the new
architect considers q tasteful and appropriate
ornament. Does he intend to put a steeple
therei Or q pavilion after the pattern of
monkey cageq Or q pagOda with swinging
bellsf Or flagstaff with gilt ball upon its
summit That it will be something m0nstrous
we have every reason to apprehend What
else may we expect when we make Of Michael
Norton our Michael Angelo, of Alderman
Conan our Sir Christopher, of Ingerson our

As we would rather that the new edifice

TO itself others that we know not of, we
suggest that the Commissioners take up the
new Park fountain and deposit it upon the roof
of their building. Then let them get by pur-
chase or conquest the Vanderbilt bronze and
hang it up over their portico. An accunHula-
ton of such valuable ornaments upon the va
rious coigns of vantage of the new Temple of
Justice would lend to it n bizarre and light
some aspect which is now wanting.

Courthouse thus far, and it will doubtless

construction, il is entitled to have it completed
in such manner that it shall not be sign Tor

no reason to believe that either of the present
Commissioners knows any more about tho
graces or proprieties of architectural decora-
ton than is usual among average beer

are placed under critical surveillance
their ignorance and stupidity may occasion the
worst results. We shall be glad il volun-

THE NEW ALLIANCE.

Major Goliah O'Grady Gahagan, who tele-
graphs from the front those extraordinary bull
letins of French victory 10 our esteemed friend
The World, has a rival mt last. The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Independence Beige
has developed capacity in the manufacture
of canarls before which the inventive powers
OF the gentleman at Tours sink into utter in
significance This newsmOnger at the capital
Of the Gar has discovered the contents OF a
private letter from President Grant to the
Emperor Alexander, and he not only states its
substance with the most impressive minute
ness but gives what he solemnly guarantees
to be very nearly tho literal text. We have
in fact good reason to believe that the Gar
actually read the letter to the correspondent,
and would have allowed him to take copy OF
it had they not both been on horseback at the
time, reviewing tho troops, under when CIR
cumstances copying was impossible. President
Grant. it seems, has written that "at the
" first word from Russia tho whole naval
" force of the United States will concen-
{" trate in the Mediterranean, and Will there
81 help the Russian vessels to force the passage
4" of the Dardanelles," and it il knowledge
of this pledge which has induced the British
Government to moderate its opposition to the
proposed abrogation of the XIVth article OF
the Treaty of Paris. The correspondent omits
several other statements which are quite az
authentic M those he has given; but through
the courtesy of a correspondent of The World
we are enabled to supply them. 1t has been
arranged that the combined Russian and Ameri-
can fleets shall be placed under the command
of Admiral Porter, who will claim the pTiyi-
lege of receiving the surrender of CONSTANT
nople IA soon as the Grand Duke Constantine
has demolished the Turkish fleet and passed
the Notifications of the city. The general plan
of operations has been devised by the Hon.
Gideon Weles, who has been made an hercdl-
tary Grand Duke of the Russian Empire,
and we understand that the TallapOosa has
already been ordered to Hartford to convey
that excellent man to the scene Of his future
glory. But this is not all. Gen. Grant has also
offered the Gar the use of the United States
Army, not only for the purpose OF opening
the Black Sea, but also for combined descent
upon British India in case Lord Granville
should persist in his warlike attitude. The
land forces of the allies will be under the
command of Gen. John A. McClernand OF
Illinois, commonly known as Grants Brans,'
while tho Cossacks of the Don are to receive
new leader in the person of MnjOr-Gen.
Benjamin f. Butler. Uniforms for these two
eminent generals have already been received
Mt Washington, and Buffers in particular Is
said to be- of the most gorgeous description.
We are chagrined Of course that the first news
of an alliance which promises to mark such
brilliant epoch in the history of the world
should reach us through a Brussels journal;
ont we have at least the satisfaction of know
ing that The TRIBUNE has been the first to
learn and publish the full particulars.

it once made professions of sympathy with
Republican principles, which it has justified by
incessant disparagement of Republican men
and measures. Recently, it has given its best
efforts TO the advocacy of Free Trade-which
is its own business, and would never have
provoked remark from Us.
Tie Nation, when the Free-Traders had their
late banquet in our City, remarked that tho
speeches were quite fully and fairly reported
in THE TRIBUNE-a fact which it deemed
worthy of its ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which.

had q counter demonstration and that journal
does not remark that no full and fair report

on our side ever does appear. But The Nation

DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRY.

The Cotton crop of this country in 1870 viii
considerably exceed in amount that of 1869;
but no advantage will result therefrom to the
planters. The average price of last years
crop was 500 per bale; total proceeds, S31O,-
100000. This years crop is selling at $50 per
bale (of 400 lbs.) at which rate Four Millions
of bales will put less money into the pockets
of the planters than Three Millions did at last
years prices. Hcrcupon, The augusta Chroni-
Gle Dem.) suggests that
"An0ther ak months may bring about decided
change The area planted cotton will probably be di
mnished while that put IN wheat and all the diverse
industries Of the farm will be augmented and thus. in
both ways, the planter will gainirst by enhanced
price Of his and next by raising the arti
clos he would otherwise have to purchase"
1t is amazing that some people fail to see
that the application of these truths is far
wider than The Chronicle is prepared to admit.
The doctrine propounded is precisely that of
Gen. JacksOns letter to DIR. Coleman, wherein
he asserts that ak hundred thousand persons
diverted from Agriculture to Manufactures
would give our farmers better market than
all Europe then afforded them.

yBOUCBTS FOR TOMORROW.


There ia an odd superstition that on Christ
mas morning all over the world the beasts in
the stall kneel before the new born Infant
that the Christmas daylight has in it some I'M
known significant quality which tells the story
to dumb Nature; that the wind the rock the
very beasts of prey, know by this mysterious
means, and rejoice that the Infinite Life in
and over them ALL the possible good in the
unquiet maltreated world of human nature
has taken visible shape and is born into
it this day, significant, beautiful Childhood,
an eternal promise and beacon to us forever.
Before we offer our Christmas greetings We
should like to know if we comprehend this
meaning of Christmas as well az these beasts
of the stall? Has the story of the Stable and
the Child any deeper meaning to us than q
passing gust of good humOr with the world
at large, hearty dinner and happy children
at home3 If it has, there are one or two
places in this city from which we wish to
know why the Christmas daylight, with its
story of divine healing and cure, is to be shut
out tomorrow morning, before we join in any
carol.
There ia a damp room in house in Centre-st.
in which a man will still be left tomorrow
morning with nothing to do but to count off
the days he has to live. There are not many
of them. 1t is not so long, either, since his
life began. 1t was in a cellar His father Was
thief his mother, worse. Naturally be fol-
lowed them. Yet we still see traces of Gods
work in the man, no matter how society has
married it. Even now he is strong limbed,
quick witted; generous kind-hearted, too, with
friends who would 90 to the death for him to-
day. One wonders what the world had for this
young fellow besides vice and poverty. and
whisky as cure-all. There were times, per-
haps, when the warm sunshine or an idle day
in the Park, or hymn heard accidentally, or
a pleasant talk with a lady, gave him odd,
yearning thoughts of better life than his own
of the Good Man, as he called Him, and His
people here, and the heaven kept exclusively
for them beyond. No wretch on earth but
looks at times with longing eyes over the gulf
at decency and pure homes and God on the
other side, hoping for a friendly hand to be
stretched out TO him to cross.
The Christian world took no notice of this
boy, however, until one day, in moment
mad with passion or liquor, or the vice left to
ferment in him upShecked he took life.
