John Quincy Adam, ON the Political siiu-
One of the Boston newspapers, following
our example, has interviewed John Quincy
Adams on the political situation and prospect.
This New England democratic statesman was
not at all averse to the interviewing process,
for he remarked:-'I do not know why it is
any more Objectionable to be interviewed out
of ones sentiments than it is to state them in
stump speech. In fact, the somewhat illicit
character of the interview seems to secure for
them more extended currency than is
accorded to the more formal speech" This is
sensible and it would be we'll if our public
men generally would look at the ''interview"
in the same light. In the report of MIR.
Adams remarks we find that he goes for the
so-called democratic new departure" He
says, in fact, that it is an old
nothing in the constitutional amendments
themselves, apart from their procurement,
which need distress any democrat. The fair
purport and upshot Of them is merely to give
equal civil rights and impartial political privi-
leges to all men, irrespective Of color"
When asked about negro suffrage, he said,
81 was very sorry that it was forced upon the
poor creatures in the wholesale way it was
1t endangers their losing it altogether. The
misgovernment in the Southern States is
fearful impeachment of the attempt to found
republican government upon undluted ignor-
ance. But it has been done, and would not
undo it," Mr.. Adams thinks, however, the
suffrage might be modified, as in Massachu-
sets, where taxpaying and reading and writ
ing are prerequisites to voting, and where, it
is said, fifty thousand citizens are disfran-
chised in consequence. He considers the
whole principle Of free government.
"Control over the army to regulate
elections, and absolute power to i'm
prison by military force, without habeas
corpus, is supreme and unlimited despotism in
possibility" The democratic party, he says,
should have no negro policy, any more than
German policy or an Irish policy. ''There
can be but one democratic policy-the United
States polcy-and that should be equal and
exact justice to every citizen" No doubt this
is an excellent departure, new or old, on
the part of Mr.. Adams, and one which the mass
of the American people will endorse. With
regard TO the democratic nominee and Presi-
dental election, he says, ''the tug of war will
be in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Vir-
ginia, and that he thinks the candidates should
be taken from those parts. On the whole
these are clear and sound opinions, and if the
''tug of war" were to he in Massachusetts Mr..
Adams would be as good candidate as the
democrats could find.

The slaughter of Wednesday was the subject
of the mornings discourse in many OF the
churches Yesterday, both Catholic and Protes-
tant ministers drawing lessons of wisdom for
their congregations from the unhappy occur
renee The Rev. Felix Farrelly, of the St.
James Roman Catholic church, delivered no
sermon, but he read list Of recently deceased
for whose repose prayers were requested, and
as some of the names mentioned were those OF
victims in the late riot he very impresslvey,
and with remarkable emphasis, read the lesson
of the day, and those passages spoke
What fruit therefore, had you then In those
things OF which you are ashameds For the end Of
Beware OF false prophets who come TO you in the
clothing of sheep. but inwardly they are raVenous
wolves
Father Deshon. at st. Pauls Roman Catho-
lie church, took for his text the last verse
which we have quoted, and preached strong
sermon, touching indirectly upon the riot.
He said the clergy should instruct men in
politics as well as in morality, and it was
their duty to see that their people were not
led astray. Father Haggerty, at ST. Column
ba's church, said that the men who had had
recourse to arms the other day because few
Orangemen chose to parade the streets
ignored the restraints of law and the coun-
sells of prudence. In the Thirteenth street
Presbyterian church DR.. Burchard referred to
the riot, and very desperately denounced
Catholics, foreign renegades INSCRIPTIONS
rabble," and our ''erring Mayor" and in this
vein worked himself up into very uncomfort-
able passion, considering the oppressive
weather. rsf.~ .~tA.t,e'
DR.. Northrop, at the Twenty third street
Presbyterian church, prayed for peace, but
urged it upon those in authority that right and
principle must be maintained even at the ex-
pense of blood. Rev. Charles B. Smyth, at
the American Free church, spoke in the same
temperate tone, and hoped that the question
whether Christian federation or anti Christian
intolerance was to prevail in this country had
been settled forever.
Altogether the views of the clergy of both
the Catholic and Protestant faith were remark
ably unanimous upon the general principle in
volved in the doings of Wednesday, and the
idea of Christian intolerance was scornfuly re-
PEELED by both Sides

The American Evangelical Alliance and the
Gar Of Russia.


Gar Of Russia.
The representatives of the Evangelical ALI
ance of the United States have Just been
received by Prince GortchakOff at Stuttgart,
and the address Of the Alliance in favor of
religious federation in Russia has been pre-
sented to and been favorably received by the
Gar. We know no more noble mission than
that on which these representatives of the
Evangelical Alliance have gone forth, and we
but do them justice when we say that their
address 10 the Gar, which we printed in
the HERALD of yesterday, is in every respect
worthy of their mission. Russia has never
laid aside the spirit Of intolerance in matters
of religious belief. Within the Russian empire
nolhinQ but the Greek Church is tolerated.
Roman Catholicism has been oil but stamped
out in Poland and in the Baltic provinces,
contrary to the wishes Of the inhabitants, who
are of the Lutheran faith, the Greek Church
has been established and conformity made
compulsory. In opposition to the spirit
of intolerance the Evangelical Alliance rea-
sons pleadingly with the Gar The address
commends the well known benevolence Of the
Gar, expresses the profound sympathy which
IL felt in the United States for large plumbers

Of His Majesty's subjects in the Baltic

Of His Majestys subjects in the Baltic
provinces, points with pride to the example OF
the United States, ''where all religious denomi-
nations and forms of worship are equa
before the law, which, supporting none, pro-
tects all and never interferes with their inter-
nal AFFAIRS" and in view Of these and other
considerations respectfully requests that His
Imperial Majesty's subjects in the Baltic
provinces ''may be permitted to worship God
and to educate their children according to the
faith of their fathers and free preference OF
their own conscences 1t is still further
requested that His Imperial Majestys Chris
tian government would ''grant within the
limits Of its jurisdiction among all subjects not
belonging to the orthodox Greek Church,
liberty of worship aud religious institutions
including circulation of the Holy Scriptures
There is ething noble in all this. Let us hope
that, in obedience to the call of free America,
the Gear will reveal in higher platform that
benevolence which he revealed in the emanci-,
patton O: his serfs, and establish religious
equality throughout his vast domains. BY so
doing he will win the respect of his generation
and the homage of posterity.

The DETAILED REPORTS of the battle in the
Corea confirm in all particulars the first ac-
count OF the gallant action OF our navy. The
Coreans appear to have been exceedingly well
prepared for attack and defence, and to have
by no means lacked those modern improve
ments that have rendered warfare SO murder
GUS They seem also to have had strategical
plans we'll laid for crushing the outside bar
barians at single blow, and it is only the
indomitable bravery of the crews of the
launches that saved the Americans from a
repulse that would undoubtedly have pro-
longed the war for years. No confirmation of
the reported landing and stOrming of the forts
has been received as yet but it will be re-
membered that these occurred very shortly
after, and doubtless we shall have full details
Of them in day or two.

which may 80 be qualified as to command
general popular favor-it is not by any means
to be ignored. In its present acknowledged
characterize cannot say we like it; but in so
far as it represents popular feeling and seeks
to win popular rights we do not, we dare not
despise it.
When we consider that law and order have
been re -established in Paris, that law and order
are being maintained in Rome, that law and
law and order are made compatible with reform
in Church and State in almost every country
and nation in Europe, we can afford to speak
hopefully for the future without disparaging
popular efforts. The popular cause, religiously
and politically, has often been disgraced. 1t
was never more disgraced than in these recent
months and years. But it still lives, and
marches on to new and grander victories. We
regret not the unifcation of Italy. We regret
not the consolidation Of Germany We regret
not the reforms in Church and State which
have taken place in Great Britain and Ireland.
We cannot refuse to admit that under the
guise of liberty lawlessness has revealed ITSELF
But Liberty remains stainless as ever, and we
do not despair that in the future her votaries
will DO better organized and more perfectly
disciplined "a parliament of man, fede-
ration of the world, F" imbued with the spirit of
pure, generous Christianity is still
our hope. Is it impossible that men now living
should see the dawn of that happy day?
The Funerals Of tho Victims Of tho Riot.
The martyrs Of the Ninth regiment were
buried with an imposing military display
yesterday, from Calvary church, in Fourth
avenue. The crowd of citizens who
thronged the neighborhood to witness
the obsequies was immense; but it was re-
markable fact that no one among them seemed
inclined to discuss the late riots, even mode
rately among themselves. They were promptly
obsdient to the request of policemen to stand
back or to make room, and there has probably
never before been so orderly crowd assem-
bled in this city on an occasion that looked so
threatening. The services passed of very
decorously, and the bodies were consigned to
their graves at Woodlawn Cemetery, without
any demonstration beyond that Of heartfelt
sorrow and respect The funerals of two
Hibernians who were shot in the riot also took
place yesterday with more than the ordinary
demonstration on the part of their friends
but the greatest decorum was preserved
also at this, as at the other more
gorgeous funeral. Indeed, the angry and
infamed feelings that caused the deaths of
these men seem to have settled down to an
undemonstrative regret, that it is to be hoped
will be succeeded at once by genuine desire
for harmony, peace and good will.

questions regarding the rights and privileges

decided In the same way. But in cases
where the damage was done by Juarezs forces,

promptly allowed. These decisions are i'm

MINISTER DE LONG, our Envoy Extraordi-
nary, &C., to Japan, has had an audience with
the Mikado. This latter august functionary
is a youth of about nineteen, who, according
TO hallowed tradition and the unfortunate
accident of his birth, is compelled to keep him
self secluded from the gaze, not only of
foreign barbarians, but of his own people,
Heretofore one or two of bis highest ministers
have been permitted, for the furtherance of
public business, to enter his presence, but as
a general thing an audience with him is very
rare, and for professional reporter to inter-
view him in the style which Napoleon, Bis
marck and President Grant consent to now
and then would, doubtless, create revolu-
fion throughout the empire. II seems, how
ever, that this lad is an innovator. He had
talk with Secretary Seward some time ago,
and ventures upon quite lengthy discussions
with his ministerial council, we hear Now
that he has granted an audience to Minister
De Long he deserves to be- classed among the
progressive monsrchs of the age.

Quite an amusing embarrassment oc-
Cured at a recent wedding in the neigh
borhood of New York. The bridal party
assembled punctually, and the expec-
tant bride waited her strong arm of sup
port till the stipulated hour had nearly
sounded, when lol the groom was not.
The clergyman could here give little
consolation, for this Christian was not
in the land of spirits, and the great re-
union, therefore, could not be harped
upon. Again, if in the flesh, comfort
was impossible, for Miss Mcbride would
not be conciliated, while her fxins' ="
were losing their artistic touch and fin
ish. Deeper grew the flush upon her
cheek, and the soft eyes looked far from
angelic, when, hurrying with frantic
speed, the groom gained upon time, and
arrived just on the edge Of the last mo-
ment He had missed the train, and his
condition touched the stern
heart Of even a railroad superintendent,
who furnished a special train, which bore
him TO his place in the picture.
