SHAKESPEARES STATNE.

The dedication to-day of a new monumental
memento of Shakespeare in a great city which
hardly had an existence while he was writing,
does not so much suggest q critical estimate
of his genius as q consideration of the curious
and unique character both of his work and Of
his fame. There is hardly any man who has
achieved so enduring and general reputa-
ton, and there is no parsonage of whose
outer personality so little is accurately known.
1t is as if he had bequeathed to his critics and
biographers some fragments of his own limit
less imagination. Those who reverence insist
upon painting ideal portraits of him, and,
in the absence of biographical particulars,
we make the most of trumpery lot of le-
gends which are neither authentic nor of
much Importance if they were so. Then it
would seem as if the huge proportions of his
genius had grown less imposing to us through
the friendly influence of his simple humanity
and we venture upon taking liberties with the
demi- god, like children playing at the feet of
the Phidian Jove. We do not so unreservedly
reverence the seer, because his revelations
have become part of our homely and every
day stock of wisdom. This, and the influence
of scenic representation necessarily made
duate, have made us less respectful, and taken
something of the divinity out of his fame.
1t is remarkable fact that no great writereveI
had such a shabby company of critics. His
works were originally printed without any
literary or mechanical advantages and thou
sands of pages have been written about their
typographical errors. 1t is quite evident that,
either from literary or commercial jealousy,
Shakespeare was stupidity found fault with,
not only by Jonson, but by much meaner
men. The little epitaph by Milton is charm
ing, and occasions us no surprises but who
was there afterward who seems to have had a
tolerably adequate estimate of the poets great
nessf r., The hum and the haw and the hair
splitting, the now-up and the now-down of
the mass of English commentary OH Shake
speare, from Dryden to DR.. johnson, is
exceedingly irritating. 1t even reminds
us Of the blasphemous Frenchnan who sud
that if he had been consulted at the creation
of the world, he would have saved the
Almighty many absurdities. Dryden was man
of genius and scholar, and could not help
having a glimpse of Shakespeares greatness
but, for all that, he had no doubt OF his
ability To improve the plays. lie was always,

4 GREAT CONCESSION.


The porIlar and almost universal demand
that the civil war should be considered closed
has had at least one benclcent effect; it has
given us partial Amnesty. We heartily thank
the Senate for the great concession made yes
terday in the passage of the House Amnesty
bill. The country will be grateful and glad,
and it will be everywhere considered as a
triumph of the popular will that measure
so wise and kindly as Universal Amnesty
should at last receive the partial approval of
Congress. By the passage of this bill, which
has been signed by the President, over 10000
men, active in affairs and recognized by
the Southern people as leaders and form
ers of public opinion, are released
from political disabilities which have re-
strained them since the close of the war;
They are eligible to Office and are henceforth
restored to all the privileges enjoyed by any
citizen of the United States. There yet re-
main some four or five hundred persons politi-
cally disabled under the clause which excepts
from the provisions of the bill Senators and
Representatives in the XXXYIth and
XXXYIIth Congresses; officers in the Judi
cial, Military, and Naval Service of the United
States; heads of Departments, and Foreign
Ministers of the United States. In this COM
paratively slender category some prominent
names will be recalled. Many of the men on
whom the stigma would have yet rested are
passed away.
1t must be regretted that this generous
measure lacks completeness and universal ap-
plcatiOn. 1t stops just short of Universal
Amnesty in order to punish few individuals
whose oilcnses are not more fragrant than
were those of the men now restored to the
privileges of citizenship. People will ask why
the Vice-President Of the COnfederacy should
be received back again while an obscure Mem
Der of the XXXYIth Congress continues under
the ban. The concession, large as it is, is not
complete enough to make an end for
ever of the ancient contentious which
have come down to us with other
relics of the last decade in our civil history
Why fan these lames2 Why permit the root
of bitterness to remain in the ground to spring
up in rank growths hereafterq But, with all its
shortcomings this partial amnestyis better than
the miserable and exasperating law of disabili-
ties which has, for six years, kept the natural
leaders of the South out of the work OF re-
forming Southern opinion. Though an imper-
feet remedy, it will do much to alleviate exist
ing disorders.

ton did not originally proceed from
within but from without the Church.
The triumphant election of candidate who.
q year ago, was supposed to he the least likely
man in all his denomination to receive its chief
honors, is an unexpected proof of the latent
yet potent radicalism of thought which, like a
bodies as well as in political parties. 1t is
not our province, as secular journal, to pass
judgment on the episcopal elections of yester-
day-to say whether they were wise or otherwise;
but so signal an event as the election of the
chief radical of great religious denomination
to the most elevated and conservative
office in its gift, is one which could never
have taken place in any other country than
America, or at any other time than the era of
Spencer, Tyndall Huxley, and Mill.

tempt for the universal voice of warning they
havo received from their constituencies.
This is fact of especial significance. 1t
would not be difficult to imagine the reasons
which might induce Senators, anxious for in
fuence at their Ostensible homes and afraid OF
their own people, to vote this force bill against
any objections. But the fact that the Admin
istration members have supported 1t In solid
phalaDx shows that it is earnestly desired by
the Executive, and that this strong and
unscrupulous will is silently exerting it
self to accomplish this temporary Dictator
ship. If it were not for the stimulus OF q
powerful self-interest there would be no dis
position to endure the open ill-will which even
the prospect of this legislation has excited in
every part of the country. The measure Is
clearly political one. Its object is to use the
army in the canvass in the interest of the
faction now in power. The present military
Administration has determined to remain III
Office. The men who are strongest in it are
men who know but one way of accomplishing
their purposes-by direct and not very pune
tlious action. They can easily persuade
themselves that the good of the country re-
quires that they shall be continued in place.
When you make q soldier Dictator and Presi-
dent, and virtually give him the classic
charge, q" to take care that the Republic shall
receive no detrmcnt"-you give him very
wide range. In his opinion the Republic
could receive no greater detriment than to
fail to rcGlect him.
We still have strong hopes of the House OF
Representatives. They have once or twice
shown favorable symptoms of Discrimination
to be mounted by the rough riders of the
Government They are nearer to the people
than the Senate and this fact serves to
preserve in them a certain sense of responsible
ity. We believe they will refuse to join in this
last desperate effort to revive the old policy OF
hate and distrust which has ceased to have
any reason for existing. 1t is time, now If
ever, for q resumption of the reign of law.
1t is time to sheath the sword which has
been brandished too long over the people of
the South. Let us have a true republican
government once more. In the South, as III
the North, let us have peace.

YESTERDAYS BISHOPRICS.

The warm contest over the eight new bishop
RIGS in the Methodist Church terminated yes
Serday in the election of the remaining three
Bishops-the first five having been disposed of
the day before. The audience that crowded
the Brooklyn Academy during the second days
balloting was even more excited than on the
frst-Owing to the fact that the last batch OF
candidates were more evenly matched in party
strength, and might more easily win or lose
their election by the whiting of few votes.
The victors were the Rev. DR.. L. j. Andrews,
q well-known Brooklyn pastor, and the only
Bishop of the whole eight who has been
elevated directly from pastorate to the epis-
copate, without passing through some inter
mediate honorary Office in the Church as the
stepping stone to his promotion the Rev. DR..
Jesse II. Peck, q veteran and patriarch both
as preacher and organizer in the den0mina-
ton; and tho Rev. Gilbert Haven, whose
unworn d. ID. means Electorate declined,n
and whose election, in view of his peculiarly
representative position, is noticeable ecclesi-
astical event.
The Rev. Mr.. Haven (spurning the semi
"lunar fardel') has for years past been the
most conspicuous journalist in the Methodist
CDulCD. ZtOHo VI DObjOH, WHICH Ub
edits with singular boldness and fervor, is, on
the one hand, in it's theological status, de-
voted to tho most ancient and severe type of
orthodoxy; yet on the other, in its attitude
toward the current questions of the day, is
more advanced than the majority of extreme
radicals even outside the Church. Thus Mr..
Haven has defiantly advocated not only tho
civil and political but social equality of the
two races in this country, and is combative
exponent and champion of Woman Suffrage,
and especially of female preachers for Metho-
dist pulpits The idea that so pronounced o
radical could ever reach the blshOpric has
been ridiculcd for the last year by half the
Methodist press. His election by the General
Conference was almost as much surprise 10
that body as it has already proved
10 the Methodist public. 8 His nonina-

sHALL 4 CANDIDATE BE DIcrAroR,

SHALL A CANDIDATE BE DICTATORP
SO far as the Senate are concerned the coun-
try has abdicated its right of self-gOvernment
during the Presidential election. The law en-
powering the President to suspend at his dis
cretion the writ of IIabeas Corpus yesterday
passed the Senate by vote of 2S to 10. There
was little genuine discussion in regard to it.
The partisans of the Administration and tho
men who hope to be reelected by bayonets,
wasted few hours in vague or scurrilous talk.
The ashes Of the extinct Rebellion were raked
and blown upon in every sense, to see if some
lingering spark of danger could not be cOaxed
out of them. The fact that seven years of
constantly increasing quiet and tranquility
have passed since the war; that throughout
the South it is the first wish of nine out of
ten of the population that peace and order
should prevail, that immigration should in
crease, and good will between the races and
the sections be restored-all these evident
facts produced no effect upon those stoid pol
iticians, intent only upon drawing possible
ephemeral advantage from their reckless and
ungracious act. They have seemed to
care as little for the North as for the
South. Every utterance of public opinion
has been against this deporable leg
islation. The great majority even of those
papers which sustain the Administration have
deprecated the further extension Of this Ku-
Klux Act, as useless and dangerous. But certain
Senators of the South have appeared to thin
they could gain more from the presence of tho
soldiers than they could lose 10y voting to
bring them, aud their Northern allies hayd
steadily SUPPORTED them. Hih d sulen COM

The failure to obtain legislative investiga-

appears all the more TO be regretted since the
new Commissioners of the recognized de-
partments elected by caucus of Federal
office holders on the express condition that
they support President Grant for denomination

fusing to permit investigation by the tax
payers themselves. The success of the Com

of partisan Commissioners was not remarkable
as a reform measure, while the Committee of
Fifty seems to have had no success at all.
The latter organization INDUCED, yesterday,
in a long complaint, of which we can find
room only for a brief but comprehensive sum-
