again routed the negroes several of whom
were wounded. Our latest dispatches report
the city comparatively tranquil, with the
streets patrolled by Mayor Ellyson's police.
IL is evident that Mr.. Chahoon has acted
without judgment in this matter. The law
under which his successor was appointed may
be unconstitutional, but no private citizen
possesses the power of deciding upon the
validity or invalidity of legal enactment.
Until the regularly constituted courts. having
Jurisdiction in the premises, pronounce a law
unconstitutional, it is valid, and is binding
upon all. Now, the case in Richmond is
simply this:-Mr. Chahoon believes that the
law enacted by the Virginia Legislature
vacating all offices held under military ap-
pointments and empowering the Governor Of
the State TO appoint new officers, is in conflict
with the Constitution, and he has resisted its
enforcement, not by legal process but by
force. There cannot be anything more dan
gerous to the liberties of this republic than
contempt for the laws. We fear that the era
of military government in the ex- Rebel States.
when force was the only law, has done much
towards causing the deplorable disregard OF
civil authority SO manifest throughout the
South.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-03-21

In this case, can there be any doubt as to
the immediate and imperative duty of Con-
gress? That duty is to withdraw the present
''close corporation" system of appointments.
Let two, three, or five times the present num-
Der of nominations be made; let them be
made not only by Congressman, but also 10y
such authorities as presidents of colleges and
certain general officers in the army, or other
eminent official personages who would pre-
sent fit candidates; then, out of the nomi-
nees, let those who stand highest in the
points of mental, physical, and moral develop
ment and promise, and in obvious aptitude
for the career of arms, be chosen after COM
petitive examination severe enough to elimi-
nate all but the best.
We have accommodation for hundred or
two hundred more cadets at West Point and
Annapolis than now receive instruction, and
that without q serious increase in the corps
of instructors In order to get the full bene-
fit of our established schools, as well as to
employ the talents of the academic faculties
on the most promising pupils, we must have
a wider sphere for appointments, and new
method of selecting the persons upon whom
they are conferred.

THE ROW IN RICHMOND.
From the N. Y. Herald.

from he N. 4. HeTGt0.
The disgraceful conflict of authority in
Richmond, Va, has thus far resulted in riot
and bloodshed and in partly depriying the
city of civil government. On Thursday night
a party of negroes endeavored to break
through the line of policemen besieging the
station house. and were resisted fight
followed, which ended in the negroes stampe-
ding, after one of their number had been
killed and two others wounded. Yesterday
morning General Candy endeavored to effect
compromise between the rival Mayors;
but Mr.. Chahoon, the old official, rejected the
propositions of Mr.. Ellyson, the new appoin-
tee. Meantime the siege was vigorously kept
up, the citizens congregating in large numbers
abound the station house, greatly excited over
the events that we're transpiring. This state
of affairs lasted till half-past two o'clock in
the afternoon, when General Candy summarily
raised the siege by taking possession of the
station house. AS the special policemen of
Mayor Ellyson formed in line and moved off,
the negroes, whose sympathies appear to be
with Mr.. Chahoon, assaulted them with clubs
and other weapons. A riot ensued, and the
police, aided by the white citizens this time,

DIR. SUSAN SMITH.
Eno1n khh n Y. Tribune

II
Another Susan has distinguished herself in
the cause of "Woman's Rights" to wit, Dr.
Susan A. Smith, of Philadelphia, a medical
gentlewoman, who insisted upon carrying on
the business of her profession, and upon not
paying the special tax required by the Inter
nal Revenue laws. Wherefore, this learned
lady was persuaded (by deputy marshaD to
visit commissioner. Unto this functionary
declared she that, in her opinion, the law was
an unjust one, and that while she was not al
lowed to vote it was gross despotism to oblige
her to pay special tax as a healer. She an
nounced her intention of refusing to pay while
continuing to prescribe, until she should be
permitted to vote, and be made eligible by
law to Office. This was view of the case
which the Commissioner could by no means
take. Wherefore, the said Susan was held to
bail in the sum of $500 for her appearance at
Court. Whether her conscience permitted
her to give bail or not, the account does not
state. Possibly she may even now be the in
mate of a cold and gloomy dungeon. Posi-
bly,, she has made up her mind to stay there
until Qike ''The Prisoner of Chillon'O
.'Her hair is grey, but not with years;
Her limbs are how'd, though not with toll"
But, meanwhile, what will become of the
patients Who will minister unto them the
cooling salts and the cathartic senna
Seriously, we wish that Doctor Susan would
be little more logical; for if she were, she
would see that paying tax as physician has
nothing whatever to do with voting. A
young doctor, some fedgling of Esculapius,
and still minor, might be called upon to
pay it, and yet be refused the suffrage
foreigner not naturalized might be compelled
to pay it, and yet he would thereby acquire
no right to the ballot. The law simply says:
eff you physic and bleed your fellow
r
the privilege"-and SO you must Paying
this sum does not make you voter, although
failure to pay it may make you prisoners
we hope poor Doctor Susan is not.

OTIUM CUM DIGNITATE.

From the Chicago Post.
Mr.. Seward reached Auburn-loveliest vii
lage of the plain-a few days ago, after his
long and lofty journey, if we may so say, to
California, Alaska, Mexico, and Havana. 1t
is noteworthy fact that though the friends
and neighbors of the sage desired to meet him
with enthusiasm and brass bands, he dex-
trously avoided the heartiness and noise of
such a reception, and in peace and quiet,
worthy of the philosopher that he is, betook
himself to his beautiful home. And there he
| is, enjoying his ease and dignity with more
| pleasing complacency, we doubt not than was
the case long ago with the illustrious Roman
| crater Cicero.
| 1t is true that Mr.. Seward said, on de-
| clining the attention of the brass bands that
| he might, on some future occasion, give his
| friends and neighbors an account of his
| travels. But it is not to be doubted that this
was one of Mr.. Stewards diplomatic and most
fascinating ways of putting the brass bands
behind him forever If it were Beelzebub
himself who should approach Mr.. Seward, he
would surely say SECT thee behind me,
Satan, but his courtesy would cause him to
add, 'if you will be SO good, or something
of that chivalric sort. The Sage of Auburn
has retired, we think, for good Henceforth,
TO the end of his life, he will be not only
private citizen, but quite retired from all
active contact with the scenes of world in
which he has borne conspicuous, oftentlmes
a brilliant, and for many years benehcent
part.
1t is true that Mr.. Seward for his own
bright fame, has liAed too long. He failed
to comprehend the great times in which he
lived. Had he died IN 1861 the ideas he had
announced the brave words he had spoken,
when to speak brave wordsrequired courage
nobler than that which carries man to the
cannon's mouth; the political organization
which, on the broad basis of universal free
dom, he had done the most prominent work
in organizing, would have preserved his
memory green in the hearts OF his country
men for countless generations. But political
blunders are rarely pardoned. Mr.. Stewards
blunder was most serious, and led to other
blunders, which, had they not speedily been
corrected by Mr.. Lincoln, imbued with the
superior craftsmanship of the people, would
unquestionably have resulted in the ruin OF
the republic.

OPEN LIBRARIES ON SUNDAY.

From the Boston Tr rauelley.
The passage, by our Representatives, of
Mr.. Woodbury's bill, to open city and town
libraries on Sundays is one of the signs of
the times. 1t is part and parcel of the great
conspiracy to dethrone God and Danish Chris
tianity from the nation. A work in which
men of very different, and opposing views
even, are engaged; some unwittingly, having
themselves only half-measures in view. But
the leading spirits while cunningly enlisting
persons of every description to do portions
of their work, contemplate nothing less than
the utter overthrow of the institutions Of
Christianity in this country, and the introduce
tion of atheistic opinions which made hell
of France during the first revolution, and
which have cursed Continental Europe ever
since, though hitherto repressed and kept
under by the overwhelming power of public
opinion and the hand of strong government.
A few simple souls can be made to believe
that it is kind and liberal thing to open our
libraries on Sundays to those who have no
homes, no churches, nor employments, nor
enjoyments for that day. But a moments
reflection will show them that this is sheer
pretense. This class of people do not ask to
have the libraries opened; and they are not
the people who would visit them if they were
opened; and if they did visit them, they would
not find ommodations-not one in a hun
uIeu. 10 prOVlue ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS lOr Iue
countless hundreds who lounge in our streets,
or waste their Sundays in vain and vicious
amusements, would require halls which would
hold thousands, instead of few score, as our
largest reading rooms now do. But everybody
that has given any attention to this subject
knows that this is not the true reason why
the advocates of Sunday opening urge
the measure. 1t is dislike to all the re-
straints of the Lords day that impels them
to urge this measure. This is only a little
wedge; but perseveringly driven, it will make
room for a larger one, and yet larger one,
until this great foundation stone of the
Christian systematic Christian Sabbath
is split and rent asunder. The Sabbath
broken down, and we can have no more
''pliestcraft" more preaching-no more
control of the church-going people by the
clergy. And then, no more reading of the
Bible in our public schools; no more religious
teachings of any kind. Instead of sober
Christian men and women to educate our
youth, we shall have open scoffers at the
divine authority of the Bible, and ribald de-
nouncers of the faith and manners and rites
| and institutions of Christianity.
| This is the end towards which our innova.
| tors and ''reformers" are tending: not all
with equal directness, but all tending never
| theless; and yet some good men can be made
| to help them in their destructive work, and
| more is the pity.

WHEN |?
Ero1n The N. Y. KorId-

FTOHt tNe N. Il HOftd
Will the Tribune, Herald, or Sun-three
conspicuous touters for the Republican party
tell us 9ohen Congress will do justice to
Cuba? Decision in the matter does not now
necessarily depend on Grant or his admins
tration, which, in respect to Cuba, our neigh
bors insist has been controlled by Mr.. Fish.
The whole subject was handed over to Con-
gress by the President in his annual message,
and Grant has told us that he will have no
policy in opposition to the will OF the people.
The Republican party is now supreme in
Congress- Responsibility of action or of no
action on this important subject belongs,
therefore, exclusively to that party. When,
we repeat, will it do something?
For many months the Republican organs
pointed us to Senator Morton as the outrider
and forerunner of the party on the Cuban
question. Wonderful deeds by him were pre-
dicted. In time he came with bill, which
he sent to the committee of the Senate of
which he is a member. 1t directed the Presi-
dent to declare ''an armed insurrection" ex-
listing in Cuba; it prohibited Spain from buy
| ing or our manufacturers from selling in this
country arms or munitions of war to suppress
the insurrection, or Spain from procuring
vessels here for that purpose. In due time
| the bill returned from committee; but how
| changed! Morton was compelled to endure
the humiliation of producing before the
| D6udJ6 Ju6 buIlN0hCO IuloB pOAhAAOOCu W l6dNO
the committee-room. All instruction to the
President about armed insurrection was
eliminated. Nothing was contained in it
prohibiting the purchase here by Spain of
munitions of war. Poor Morton! Poor Cuba
After that the Republican cldgueurs point us
| to the lower house. Banks is now the fruit
| flu. one in respect to Cuba He and his commit
tee are pregnant with a beatifc progeny.
| The announcement of SO interesting and
| critical condition of both was made many
weeks ago, and no parturition yet! Why
| this protracted CESSATION? General Quesada,
the accomplished accoucheur, has been, at our
suggestion, called in consultation, and so has
| Mr.. Robeson. When did labor pains ever
continue so long? Seriously, we ask either
of our Republican neighbors we have named
to tell us when ''any good thing" for Cuba
will come out of the present Congress-this
Nazareth of the Republican party? Having
Great ed hopes in Cuba of aid from the United
States, will the House of Representatives
now, like Nazareth of old, make effort to
destroy its offspring by casting it out down
| the precipice to die?

GENERAL GRANT IN THE LOBBY OF
THE SENATE.
From the N. Y. Sun.

from the N. I. Sun.
The Dominican treaty is mere job, and
being prospectively prolific one, the Wash
ington lobby have taken it in hand.
The visit of the President to the ante-room
of the Senate, to influence its action in fav or
of this treaty, establishes a dangerous prece-
dent. If it is tolerated in respect to an OBJ
iectionable treaty, it will soon be employed
to secure the confirmation of unsuitable
nominees for Office, and by-and-by it will be
resorted to to pervert the ordinary legislation
of Congress.
Three centuries ago the Kings of England
used to take q side seat in the House of
Commons to overlook and influence its pro-
ceedings by their presence. In process of
effect that these royal visits were violation
of its ancient privileges. They were then
discontinued for two or three reigns
Charles 1, after protracted quarrels with
Parliament, finally resorted to the desperate
expedient of going in person to the hall of
his refractory Commons, and arresting Pym
and four other eminent members of the ibe-
raj party. The spirit of the House rose up
against this unusual attempt to dominate and
obstruct its action in an unwarranted manner.
The progressive and independent sentiment
of the nation supported the Commons, and
within q brief period the head of Charles
rolled from the scaffold into the basket OF
the executoner. Though guilty of many
crimes, the turning point in the career of the
unfortunate Charles was his visit to the halls
of Parliament in order to coerce its action
or unduly control its decisions by his roya
presence He was an amiable prince, but he
had not carefully studied the times in which
| he lived
We repeat, the Dominican treaty is q cor
rupt, and to the nation an Improbable and
discreditable job. BY ratifying it we shall
certainly annex to this republic an uncon
senting people, incur large pecuniary
liabilities, and purchase an unpropitious in
terest in the civil commissions now shoulder
ing in that island
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-03-21

The rulers of the United States carry out
their plans, and the people execute their will,
by methods different from those employed in
England during the rule Of the Stuarts.
Charles went down to the Commons. Grant
went up TO the Senate. Charles arrested five
Commoners with his own hand because they
would not yield TO his arbitrary will. Grant,
with his hands full of favors, only sent for
half-a-dozen Senators in order to persuade
them to yield to his pleasure by ratifying a
treaty reeking with corruption, and which,
at that stage of the proceedings, was solely
within their jurisdiction. Grant might have
sent message to the Senate, like his prede-
cessors, expressing his views on the pending
treaty; but he chose to go to the Capitol in
person. Charles might have caused his royal
will to be announced in the Commons by one
of the retainers of the court; but he preferred
to repair to their hall in person.
OF course, there is no danger of the head of
General Grant rolling by and by from a scat
fold. In these days, lobbyists, however
distinguished and persistent, are not put to
death. The only penalty inflicted upon the
President for his unprecedented mode of
mixing in this unseemly business will be, that
he will be pushed off the platform of the next
national convention of the Republican party
not, as was also the case with Charles, for
this one act alone, but for his incapaeity to
catch and keep up with the spirit of the
times.
General Grants fate in respect to a renomi
nation is fixed. But for the honor of the
party that elected him, let him keep out oi
the 1obbv of Conpress,

If IL were possible to eliminate from Mr..
template him, in his retirement at Auburn,
as having been there since the fall of 1860, 1t
would be pleasing thing indeed In that
case there would be no more agreeable, no
more noble associations connected with the
memory OF great statesman, than the asso-
Citations which should cluster evermore around
the memory of William H. Seward.
