We deeply regret to learn that our friend John
Thomas has been wounded in his tenderest feelings
His dignity has been assailed. Never, since that
ornament to the Select Company Of Bath Footmen,
Mr.. Whiders resigned in consequence OF having
been compelled to eat cold meat and to carry coal
scuttle up to the second floor, has such an insult
been offered to of the profession as The Sun put
upon John Thomas on Thursday when it spoke of bis
little affair with Justice Hogan as an ," arrest"
John Thomas wishes it to be understood that he
was neither handcuffed nor sent TO Jail. He got
civil summons from the judge to 60 to court and he
went; but if he had chosen he might have run
away Nevertheless, " the story of an arrest was
published by Dana, and remains 10 be seen Uhefh1
he has not rendered himself liable TO prosecution y"
the o6ense" BY all means let it be seen. The mia
nous conduct of Dana ought to be punished to the
full extent of the law and only doubt is whether
the law provides any penalty commensurate with
the offense. But in any John Thomas on his
dignity is an imposing and improving spectacle
We cannot have too much of it. And if he should
fail 10 get all the satisfaction be wants for this
dreadful outrage, he must console himself with the
reflection that fell from his lips yesterday: it Is all
" part of the Greeley campaign"
New-York tribune., 1872-08-03

1t is well enough understood that the reelection Of
Mr.. Grant is favored by Mr.. William Lloyd Garri-
son so that it TO be hardly necessary for him
quite so often to parade the fact in the newspapers
When he thinks it a duty to do so, it is hardly cour-
teous for him to stigmatize Liberal Repubicansm
as "a stupendous imposture." to the world
that he has always regarded Greeley as man
without any fixed principles;" or that he now re-
CARDS him as "a frst-class political demagogue,"
and as one "smitten with imbecility." But Mr..
Greeley is in good company. Mr.. Charles Sumner
also shares in the heavy misfortune of Mr. Garsons
disapprobation. He holds the Senator largely ac-
countable for the great peril that threatens lis IN
the rejection Of Grant and the downfall OF the Ke-
publican party" Mr.. Garrison came late into po-
ltical life, but in his thorough nquestioning ana
somewhat blind devotion TO party organization DO
seems anxious to make up for lost time. lie was
once in the habit of rather yohementy asserting the
rights of private judgment; but he appears III MS
old age somewhat lamentably to have changed all
that.

opy payKSS LETTER.

uord rnon the declaration of Mr.. Sumner in
favor of the Liberal movement, follows that
of Gen. Banks in tho same strain. NOW IL
bannens that these two gentlemen are, each In
bis own way. representatives of both phases
of Massachusetts, Republcanism. Mr.. Sumner
sneaks for those with whom politics have been
70 some extent q sentiment; for those. who
came into the ant-Slavery ranks from the
Whig party in its penultimate days, and VINO
had always been strong opponents OF the Old
fashioned Democracy. Gen. Banks on the other
hand was a child of that party, taken up and
fostered by it in his youth, and brought at
first into public life by its occasional local
victories. Each of these gentlemen has had
long experience of practical politics, and each,
whenever he has left a political party, has
been able to point to subsequent events IN
vindcatOn of his sagacity.
Whatever else his enemies may say OF Cen
Banks, nobody who knows anything OF ms
career will question his political foresight. lie
has not been in the habit of making mistakes
In all his life he has hardly experienced po-
litical defeat, and certainly not one OF any
consequence. He saw from afar the signs OIL
the new coming Republican party. Before .hae
he had, as a Democrat, been bold enough 10
act with the Free Soil party. Coalitions, there
fore have no terrors for him, nor are they any
novelty in Massachusetts. 1t has been his
habit to shift his ground whenever new occur
rences taught new duties, and it is perfectly
natural at this moment of supreme importance
to the republic that he should shift his ground
again, especially as in doing so he is not called
upon to abandon single principle or to do
violence to single political conviction. There
arc thousands of voters of his school in Mas
saclusetts upon whom his example and his
well considered letter will have an effect who
will follow him. especially in his own district,
because they aIe accustomed to shape their
political course by the emergencies of the

"masses of the people of all parties, sections,

Barks's letter to the Lynn committee, and 1t

THE FORERUNNER OF TICTORY.

True to it's traditions, THE TRIBUNE did
not announce its triumph in North Carolina
before the vote had been counted. Yesterday
we assured our readers that in our judg-
ment the scattering returns clearly IN
dicated an Administration defeat and
the election of Mr.. Merrimon. To-day,
with the vote Of over Cne-third the State in,
with such scattering returns as may fairly
indicate the vote of another third, and with
the certainty that heavy Liberal gains have
been made in the western part from
which returns are yet missing, we
congratulate the friends of Reunion
and Reform upon an inspiring victory
at the very outset of our campaign,
on the most doubtful field we are likely to
find, We have carried North Carolina,
against the corruption fund of the Admins
tration-against the threats of the revenue
collectors, the importation of negroes, and the
persecution for alleged membership in the
long g-disbanded Ku-Klux-against candi-
date for the Vice-Presidency, Secretary OF the
Treasury, and Secretary of the Interior
against the best managed and most literally
supplied canvass ever made by an Admins
traton party in North Carolina-by ma
jority Of at the very lowest, one thousand,
as we reckon it here; of four to five
thousand, as our coolest friends in
Raleigh insist. We have swept out the thiev-
ing Carpet-Baggers and installed govern
ment of the people. by the people, for the
people. We have carried the Legislature,
with a superfuous majority of forty to
fifty on joint ballot. We have de-
feated Mr.. Thomas Settle, whom the
Two-term men chose to preside over
them in Philadelphia, and whom the people
have repudiated now, as in November they
will repudiate the President whose renomina-
ton he announced. We have Ger
tainly carried the lid, With, With,
With, and With Congress Districts,
have strong hopes of the IVth, and do not
yet abandon one of the others. In word,

the Administration might carry the State
ticket, we have swept the field!
Well done! noble North Cardinal On
your soil the first Declaration of Independence
was made On your soil jefferson Davis held
his last Cabinet Council, and the Rebellion
dissolved. On your soil has been won the first
great victory of the campaign that is to make
us once more united people. When
Cincinnati had declared the resolve of the
best brains and principle of the Republican
party, it was the privilege of Tennessee, home
of Andrew Jackson, and of the mountain
loyalists, to give the response that spoke in
advance the voice of Baltimore. Yours is a
vet more electric utterance. That was but
the verdict of a historic National Party.
You have pronounced in advance the verdict
of Nation.

Mr.. Horny Leslie writes with great good sense in
Macmillan OF the moral influence of musical societies
and of general musical instruction in Great Britain
His examples are pertinent and interesting. Where
ever choral association has been established and
put into vigorous working order, there temperai CO
and cleanliness have grown fast, with health, NOR
and physical. From the threadbare, rough hhandcd
chors in the Welsh slate-quarries to the Madrigal
Club of mill-workers at Saltairc all those lahore
of whatever class who have been bronght unC.r
musical domination have had their savagl
breasts soothed into moderation and
parative refinement. Mr. Leslie SO heartily
appreciates the result of these experiments that he
urges the establishment of musical elementary edu-
cation by municipal corporations and school boards
and of a central metropolitan institution. aided by
Government grants and subject to Government IN
spectiOn, wherein the highest, most thorough prac-
teal and theoretical musical education can he had
He suggests that tho superior talent found in go
schools should be sent to this institution and thei
go to the making of artists and not OF nero singers
and teachers. The happy influence of musical edu-
cation in Germany proves that. so far from eneT-
waiting the national character it invigoratcs

be well. study of musical theory, at least thor
ough enough to enable the pupil to read notes and
understand infections, would be of great practical
advantage both in raising the popular taste and in
developing talent AS things are now, the music in
our schools is simply ridiculous. 1t is as utterly SUI
pericial as are some other branches Of our public
Observation-Disclosures which seems to aim chiefly
at stufing quantity of facts and figures into igno
rant little minds, and leaving them without appli-
cation, to wander heavily through space. Memory
is cultivated at the expense of reason, and children
are taught instead of accurate musical knowledge,
perfectly irrational and useless mode of yelling.

In Boston, we have the unique spectacle of
Iwakura and the other Wise Men from the
East received and welcomed in public speech
by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Japan has said
and done great many curious things during
her present revolution; but few have given
sharper contrast, a more striking antithesis,
than these ambassadors from afar, greeted by
the subtle thinker and representative of New
England Brahminism. This would make Mr..
Emerson's words notable; but his eloquent
sentences will be found of themselves the
hest part of all that took place, yesterday, at
the Boston reception.

Judge Barnard's defense is so far un-
doubtedly disappointment TO his friends. 1t
was thought that some vigorous attempt
would be made to break down the testimony
Of the witnesses for the prosecution, OF, at
least, to rebut their statements. Yesterday,
however, the line Of the defense seemed to be
an endeavor to show that the plundered and
despoiled corporations were no better than
they should be, deserved any possible punish
ment, and that the orders issued against them
were honest and fair, if little irregular.
The plan Of bringing up the management Of
The afflicted corporations, to show how bad 10
must have been, did not succeed. Tho CoQu

Delaware is counted as the last refuge of
the BourboDs, who are represented by such
fossliferous Democrats as Mr.. Blanton Dun
can How vain is that hope may be seen by
carefully prepared review of the political
situation in that State which we publish to-
day. The Democracy, led by Senator Sauls-
bury, heartily suppOr, the Liberal ticket; and
the small detection from their ranks will be
more than equaled by tho accession of Re-
publicans who believe ia reform and honesty
in public affairs. We invite especial attention

.cience to the slander of Convention whose
domination he agreed to support-even if it
we're Mr.. Greeley. But our versatile friend

The Proposed School OF Painting.

The action of the students of the Academy
of Design in beginning a subscription towards
the endowment of a school of painting de-
serves the strongest commendation. It is a
good sign to see people willing to help them
selves, and it is guarantee OF success There
can be no question that such q school as is
now proposed is sadly needed in New York.
Under existing circumstances the aspiring art
student has to plod his way wearily without
efficient guidance and waste his best years
making discoveries that a moderately intelli-
gent master would have taught him in very
short time. One of the chief results of the
present state of art teaching in America is the
almost total absence of first rate figure paint
ers even the few men we have in this depart
ment owe their education to European
sources. If young man desires to become
really good artist there is no school to which
he can apply for instruction, and he is, there
fore, forced to go to Europe, If he
possesses the means, or to work his
way as best he can, with no other aid than in
domitable pluck and native genius. This is
not at all creditable to great nation proud
especially of the educational advantages en-
joyed by its people. We have not yet reached
the point of comprehending that it is not
enough to teach the youth of country to
read and write; but the progress of industrial
education in other countries will force us to
look this question in the face before many
wears. In the meantime it is well that private
enterprise should initiate the work, and it is
sincerely to be hoped that the appeal made by
the art students to the rich art patrons Of the
city to help them in founding school of paint
ing in New York will be answered generously
1t only requires few thousand dollars to
carry tho project to successful issue, and
some of our millionnaires could not leave bet
ter monument behind them than o national
school of painting, with which their names
would be associated forever
