B. r. WALKER
New-York tribune., 1871-07-15

suggest that cure in these cases was 20 be
found most probably in the rational treat
ment of an inebriate asylum, in the
skill of a physician who understood
cerebral disease, and in a drug shop
and if our friends had shown to their weaker
brethren that the Divine Economy is not only
Almighty but the basis of all system that it
underlies all human means; that drugs, doc
tors, and asylums are its appointed agents, as
much as Ferries and miracles in crowded con-
venticles, they would not only have done more
honor to their Master, but to their own ca
pacity for cOmprehending Him.
With all respect also for their sincerity
of motive, we read with amazement the
account of childrens meetings, melted and
urged on by fathers and mothers, whore
babies of five years old led in prayer the
mass of children and admiring adults, and
other infants of seven and eight gave their
version of Gods dealings with their souls.
Whether a child left to its ball and
doll, and proper insigniicance, and taught the
simple story of Jesus on its mothers knee, or
perched on a pulpit chatterng, parot-likc, with
inflated vanity and feverish brain TO an APP
plauding crowd of its morbid attempts at self
analyses, is on the surest way to a healthy
manhood, or to reverence and humility we
leave for our brethren to determine. The
question demands more consideration than they
appear to have given it.
New-York tribune., 1871-07-15

There was no flinching any where at any
point below the Mayors Office And, when
ever it was understood by the rioters that the
Militia would fire, and that each cartridge
included ball. the riot was oveI
'. Politics will not mislead our people very
far. SO far as we could see or learn, Oakley
Halls surrender in advance to the rioters was
as promptly and as vehemently denounced by
American Democrats as by Republicans
VI. Men called out to face an angry mob as
Militia must not be expected nor asked to
Illustrate the principle of non-resistance Tor
they will not. 1t is possible that veteran
regulars, led by officers they both loved ana
feared, might for a time be subjected to a
shower of brick-bats, paving-stones, pistol
shots, &c, from a riOtOus mob immensely out
numbering them but Militia will do nothing
of the sort When dangerous missiles are
rained upon their heads from crowded streets
and house-tops, they will shoot, orders or no
orders and, if you object to this, you must
manage to get on without them. If called out
to preserve the public peace at the peru Oh
their lives, they will stand nothing stronger
than shower of dead cats. Whenever the
heads of a dozen of them have been laid open,
they will object to the performance going on
without their being allowed to participate if
permission for this is not accorded, they will
take it.
VII. Finally, there must be no more riots Let
it be understood that the first shot fired at Po-
lice or Militia, acting in the line of their duty,
will be answered by bullets, the next by grape,
and riots will henceforth be as rare here as at
St. Petersburg.
New-York tribune., 1871-07-15

English Tories have been astOnishcd by an
assault upon the purchase system in the Army
by Earl Derby. AS things now stand in that
aristocratic institution. commissions and ad-
vancements are accessible only TO men with
long purses and influential connections !;
and refomers and others interested in
the pending Army Regulation bill hope
to secure a fair scheme for the COM
mission, promotion, and retirement of officers.
Among these, Earl Derby, Tory with liberal
ideas, has somewhat suddenly appeared, and
his advocacy of the proposed change will un-
doubtedy have great weight. As an indica-
tion of the general expectation concerning the
fate of the BILL it is noticeable that those
who have purchased their advancement over
the heads of their seniors are demanding that
their money be returned in case the bill be-
comes a law. There is flavor of the trades
man about the demand which is simply gro
fpSUUp
New-York tribune., 1871-07-15

Judge A. r. Wright, a highly conservative
Georgian, who has just been before the Con-
gresS Committee on Ku-Klux, gave utterance
to some very queer thoughts about Negro
Suffrage. He has an abiding faith in
good time coming when the people
of the North will retrace their steps
and consent to take away the ballot
from the cOlOred man. If it were not for this
hope, he would despair OF a peace and safety
III the South, and would not 90 bail for the
Southern people, though he is confident that
there viii be no rebellion. If tho conserva-
tive Wright expects that peace is only to be
maintained in the South by remanding the
coored men to their former voteless and
vOiceless condition, he and his following may
as well make mp their minds to begin with
their scattering of frebrands forthwith. Re-
bellion or no rebellion, there is to be no
retrOgression in this direction.
New-York tribune., 1871-07-15
UOFFUAN ONCE MORE.

The Brooklyn Eagle has sometimes shown so
commendable a disposition to say what 1t
thought right, in defiance of party, that we
are disposed to accept the following as the
honest opinion of a writer, bewidered by facts
he has not oven yet clearly cOmprchended:
cone is led almost to despair OF human nature when one
sees fraction Of the press charging the responsibility
for the riot the suppressOrs OF IT, and when another
fraction frantic because the elected and appointed
to put it down really did So and at The course ot
THE TRIBUNE Is monsrous that II any other ana were
needed to lift the Governor high in public opinion tho
Republican reco from the conduct Of their organ would
furnish that aid"
Assuming that Gov. Hoffman may be III
some limited sense called "a suppressor of
"the riotn we do charge him, nevertheless,
with responsibility for it. Why
Because it was his duty to prevent the riot;
because he could have prevented it, as Gov.
Randolph did in New-Jersey; because he neg
leoted that duty, until his action only aggra-
vated and did not prevent it.
We charge distinctly that the plea of igno-
rance entered in Gov. Hoflman's proclamation
as an excuse for his tardy action is not true.
We charge distinctly that Gov. Hoffman was
in New-York on Monday; that he had,
through a stafl-Officer specially detailed for
that purpose, a conference with Mayor Hall
as to the policy to be pursued; that he might
then have reversed it if he had chosen; that
instead he acquiesced and went to Albany.
He has denied no item in this statement, no
friend has denied it for him, and no friend
will.
We have judged this matter without any
paltry consideration of political advantages
We gave cordial praise to the Democratic
Governor of New-Jersey for the prompt action
which prevented riot and saved life. We
award severe condemnation to the Democratic
Governor of New-YOrk for the criminal
acquiescence in the shameful surrender on
Monday, and for the crimnay tardy action
afterwards which created riot and wrought
murder. We call all honest men of all paities
to Judge if this be not naked justice.
