Relief Spectators,

CHICAGO, April PA series of meetings
have been held lately by ladies who have
either been refused assistance or only par
TALLY relieved by the Relief and Aid Society
during the past winter, for the purpose of
giving expression to their Indignation, and
securing an investigation Of the transac-
tionss of the society. While they don't d.
rectly charge the principal officers with dis
honesty, they hold them to have been negli-
gent and incompetent, and their employees
rude and corrupt. The charges against the
latter are circumstantial, and of a very
grave character.
One instance is given in the case of four
families occupying a single house, of three
receiving an abundance of everything by
paying the visitor five dollars each, and the
other, the most needy, receiving nothing,
because they refused or were unable to
bride the visitor.
Not receiving from the public the active
cooperation in making the investigation
they expected, at the meeting last evening
the following gentlemen were appointed a
committee to select five Of their number to
make such investigation: ThOs. Hayne,
Robert Hervy, DR.. n. S. Davis, r. G.
Wright, DR.. PaOli, the Presidents of the
various benevolent societies; DR.. Reynolds,
of the Cambrian Society; VIM. Wagner, of
the st. Georges Society; Gen. Macarthur, of
St. Andrews; Nix. We,ch, Of the Hibernian
Society; DR.. LeVerin, of the Dominican
Benevolent Association; Il. G. Goodwillie
and j. B. BrodWen.

OLD TIMES AND NEW.

1t has been the custom, from time inme-
mortal, for men to decry the age they live
in, and to contrast it unfavorably with
former years. Many delight to grUmble
over things as they are, and grieve over
things as they used to be. The world, &C
cordiDg to their estimation, goes backward,
and its inhabitants are running rapidly to
destruction. The degeneration of the race
is the favorite theme of this class, who
would have US believe that the world was a
paradise a hundred years ago, but that
now all was going to ruin and disaster.
1t IS claimed that because the present
generation has more money, and because
men of large incomes spend them freely
and generously, that we are all upon the
brink Of some vague and terrible catastro-
phe. 1t is deemed highly creditable in our
grandfathers that they spent less money
than their descendants co, but the reason
was, no doubt, that they had not the money
to SPEND. There is no crime in having
handsome income and making use of it,
and the man who would abridge his legiti-
mate enjoyments for the sole reason that
his forefathers were obliged to economic,
would subject himself to doubts on the
question of sanity.
The "Original simplicity of our forefa-
theirs" is a myth. The dresses of those who
could afford it, in olden times, were more
elaborate and fantastic than anything the
present age has seen. The rufIles, frills,
silk stockings, swords, silver buckles, top
knots, wigs, perukes, high-heeled shoes,
and thousand other devices of attire,
make modern costume simple by COMPARE
SOD. In manners and customs, it seems,
like joke to speak of the simplicity of old
times, when the most ridiculous ceremC.
MES were practiced in the first circles Of So
ciety, and studiously initiated by all the rest.
As for the "highway of extravaganza" of
which we hear so much, our fOrefathers,
with all their virtues, travelled it quite as
often and recklessly as their pOsterity The
idea that the race is tending rapidly to de-
cline, is the merest nonsense. On the con-
trary, it is undeniably true that mankind
has made amazing strides in social and
moral reform within the last hundred wears,
In liberal religious views, in the diffusion of
books and literature, in schools, in neYspa-
pers, in temperance, in the love of liberty,
and in all that contributes to the enlighten-
ment Of the people, the present age is far in
advance of the ages past.
Sanitary reforms have greatly elevated
the condition Of the poor, and many dis
eases have, by human agencies, been shorn
of their chief terrors. Yet, in the face of
all this, it is common to hear of the degen-
Grafton Of the race! OF all the false and
fallacious statements which we are con-
stantly meeting in the papers Of the day,
none are more false and fallacious than
those we have referred to. The "wiser and
weaker" theory will do to quote, but it is
the exact opposite Of the truth.-EostoR

FRANCE.
The status in Ono.

BERLIN, April 20.-The North German
Gazette to-day denies the truth of the Lon
don Daily TelegrapFs alarming statement
in regard to the relations of France and
Germany, but takes occasion to remark that
the last speech of Theirs previous to the
adjournment of the National Assembly has
produced an unpleasant feeling throughout
Germany and that the character of the
French war budget dictates caution on the
part of Germany. alt is evident" says the
Gazette, "that the Government cannot per-
nit France hastily to relinquish the pledge
she has made to Germany and consequent
ly the occupation of French territory by
German troops will be longer than would
be necessary if the relations between the
two nations were more favorable"
VERSAILLES, April 22,-The adjourned
session Of the National Assembly was re-
sumed this afternoon. The House dis
cussed the order of business. Theirs
waited taxes to be disposed Of first, then
the formation of Council of State might
be taken up, but he hoped disposition of
the army bill would be deferred for grave
Political reasons. The Assembly, however,
decided to consider first the scheme for a
Council of State and next the army bill,
leaving the tax question to the indefinite
future,

FEDERAL SUPREME COURT.
Decision; on the Validity Of Notes
Received fOrFsIave Property.

Received fOrgSIave Property.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Supreme
Court to-day decided a case from the
Georgia Supreme Court in relation to the
validity Of a note for the price OF slaves.
Georgia held that it was prohibited from
taking jurisdiction of such a case, and gave
Judgment for the defendant on the following
grounds: 1st. That when the constitution
Of 1868 was adopted, Georgia was not
State in the Union. She had surrendered
her connection as such, and was conquered
territory, wholly at the mercy of the con-
OuereOrs: hence the inhibition Of the State
by the Constitution of the United States
to pass any law impairing the obligation OF
contracts has no application to her. I'd.
Her constitution don't affect the contract,
but only denies jurisdiction to her courts
TO enforce it. Sd. Her constitution was
adopted under the dictatiOn and coercion OF
Congress, and it is an act of Congress rath-
or than the State, and that though State
cannot pass law impairing the validity OF
contracts, Congress can, and that for this
reason also, the inhibition in the
Federal Constitution has no effect in this
case.
This Judgment is reversed by this court.
The first proposition has been frequently
decided, and the court again atfirms that
the late rebellion was without an clement
Of right or sanction Of law; that the duTa-
ton and magnitude Of the war did not
change its character; that the States in
rebellion were never out of the Union and
and absOlved from the duties, liabilities and
restrictions incumbent upon them. Upon
the second point, without remedy, con-
tract NAV not be said to exist. The ideas
Of validity and remedy are inseparable, and
the Senial Of remedy by the State was not
valid because it annihilated the contract.
The third point is clearly unsound. The
action of Congress upon the subject cannot
be INQUIRED into. The case is clearly one
iu which the Judicial is bound to fol-
| low the the political department OF the
/ Government. 1t is concluded by 1t in SINH
! lar case from Arkansas, in which there was
/ a warranty that a slave was sound and he
! was a slave for life. The court say such
/ warrants don't extend to the exercise OF the
sovereign power Of a State 10y which the
! slave was emancipated. The thirteenth
/ amendment don't appear TO be the question;
! that the contract being valid when made,
/ was euforcible in the courts and subsequent
! LEGISLATION, either by statute or Congress
! si6nal provisions, could not render it in
valid. The Chief Justice dissents and will
give his opinion hereafter.

DANCING AS A FINE ART.

The English girls are noted for their
health, good sense and good looks, but
dance they cannot. TrHe, they hobble and
waddle about on the stage, and 90 through
the figures, but their performing bears
about the same relation to the graceful
fairy-like movements Of their French
sisters as those of the clumsy, slow
paced truck-horse do to the steps of the
fleet-footed racer. In Paris one of the
famous Jokes is to burlesqUe the English
dancing. OF course, the French girls have
to pad considerably to get up to the aver
age of English feminine sOlidity, and
they waddle out Oh the stage somewhat
in duck-fashion. Then they dance as if
heavy weights were attached to each
limb, attendants with handkerchiefs
being present, who, in the pauses, wipe
Off the perspiration brought to the dan
GERS faces by what must be very hard
work. The French laugh convulsively
when at these performances, and though
the thing is overdOne, the caricatures
suggest the truth. 1t is evident that
Providence never meant that English
danes should indulge much in the
light fantastic toe, but should be con-
tent With good, simple, solid amusement Of
another sort. Although much more money
is expended in getting up spectacles in Eng
land than in France, it is wonderful how
much more brilliancy appears in the
French pieces. 1t is said that nothing
ever witnessed in England can at all
compare with the humor and dis
play with which they bring out King
Carrot, which, on account of the burlesque
of Napoleon III, in it, has European repu-
tation. People are made up to represent
all the vegetables of the garden, and all the
insects that feed upon them, in exquisite
perfection of fancy, even the touches of
green at his knees assisting to give King
Carrot his vegetable character. There is
nothing on the French stage which
approaches the coarseness OF The
Black Crook" but some Of the
actors wear scarcely suspi-
cion of clothes, and it requires powerful
magnifying glass to discover the gauze
which is the only covering Of one beautiful
girl. Victor Hugo and other French writers
attribute the French fondness for the nude
to their child-like innocence and classic
taste, inherited with their Greek blood.
Mr.. Conway suggests that if this be the
true explanation, the EVe-angelic age of
Eden cannot be far off in Paris.

New YORK, April 22.-Ata meeting of

Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Con-

were adopted cQndemning the vacillating

OF the nomination to Parker thus long, who
has been ready upon notification of the
committee to present his views at length.
1t is said that Parker endorses the platform
entire, and would accept the nomination
on condition that the National Democratic
Convention endorsed him. I'D
The above delegations refuse to send

National Executive Committee which has
been called by the chairman to meet in Gin

action is sell, and say they will not lend
themselves to it, nor consider the action of
the committee binding. Letters have been
received from delegations in other States
and from the Presidents of the Labor
Unions in Pennsylvania and Tennessee,
indOrsing their course. Influential mem
bers Of these delegations privately express
their opinion that the whole Labor Reform
movement so far as National ticket is
concerned will be quietly dropped out.

BERLIN, April 19.-The Minister Of
Public Worship has given formal notice to
the Bishop of Ermeland, that as sentences
of communication against German SUBJ
iects clash with the civil law and affect I'M
favorably their social status, therefore the
consent of the Government must be OBJ
tanned before such sentences are pre-
nounced. The Ministry insists on obedi-
enee to the laws as a duty incumbent on
all, and intimates that failure in that duty
on the part of the bishop viii lead to the
withdrawal by the Government of its Off
cial recogDi ion of his ecclesiastical func-
tions. The bishop answers apologeticalIlIy,
affirming that civil honor is in no way af-
fected by accommodation,

American Consul at Kingston is very active
ly prosecuting Melitchor Aquero, the leader
Of the Edgar Stewart Expedition on a
charge ofhaving committed an act of piracy,
and also against the Captain of the Edgar
Stewart. The arms and ammunition of the
Stewart are being discharged. The Spanish
man-of-war Borja, is anchored alongside
the Stewart with orders to prevent her leaY-

Another telegram says the Edgar Stewart
after running along the northern and
southern coasts of Cuba was unable to land
anything and put into Kingston where by
an agreement with the American and
Spanish Consuls she is detained.
