not betokcn wholesome state OF pubhc con-
science in the Senate that the defenders OF the
President should rely upon such line OF
argument for his vindication. lie mas been
accused and convicted by irrefragable proof
of several distinct and glaring violations OF
law. The only answer is an obstreperous
clamor from Mr.. Logan that Mr.. Sumner is
graduate of Harvard, and breezy argument
from Mr.. Carpenter that nobody is hurt by
these illegalities, and that Mr.. Sumner sits up
nights to write his speeches.
1t appears that the case is to go forth to
the country on these successive discourses.
Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Schuz have arraigned
the President in arguments which in careful
preparation, close, unhnching logic, beauty of
style, and elevation of sentiment, do honor
to the Senate, are worthy the careful consid-
Grafton of all men, and the acceptance of his
tory. They are met by vulgar and violent
stump speeches from men who are scarcely
able to understand the discOurses to which
they are attempting to reply, and who avoid
the questions at issue to indulge in blatant
abuse of the Senators who have done their
duty by accusing the President If any ono
were asked to name the three Senators who
at this hour best represent the highest intel
lect and character of the Senate, the reply
would almost universally be, Sumner and
Trumbull and Schurz. These three have de-
liberately judged and condemned Gen. Grant
as unfit to be President. This solemn and
authoritative Judgment can never be disturbed
by the clamOr of Carpenter Logan, OF
Flanagan.

similar acknowledgment, in rather different
terms. is due to the leaders who restrained
their spirit on Monday and allowed the people
to express their wishes in their own way. The
party managers, with all their experience and
ingenuity, could not have made the expression
any stronger.
Now we are to have at Philadelphia ratifi-

This country cannot bo especially disturbed by
m insult from an ill-tempered old gentleman
With the exception of Lord Russelrs ebulDtion
of senile anger the tone of the whole debate
vas excessively fair and candid. We desire
esnecially to call the attention of our Wall-st.
contemporaries to one passage of Lord Gran
ville,s speech. "He defended the right OF the
&" American Government to place its own con-
"struction on the Treaty of Washington and
"tO introduce the indirect claims" The British
Government adopted different construction,
and the supplemental article was devised to
harmonize the difference. He was not yet
sure of the success of the negotiations, but
did not despair of it, Before the debate closed
Lord Denman made a remark which has
charm of its own. We have been often as
sured that the excitement over these claims
was purely matter of honor and not OF
the money involved. Lord Denman said that
che thought their LOrdships were needlessly
ALARMED: that even if the indirect claims
"passed the Board of Arbitration the Com
"mons would not pay them" After all, the
cash does seem to be an important element in
the question, even in the serene attitudes OF
the House of Peers. The debate grew very
animated as the night wore on, but the MAJOR
ity appeared to be with the Government. AT
last, motion to adjourn until Thursday, mace
by the Lord Chancellor and seconded by Earl
Granville, was passed at one o'clock this

THE NEETTNG-THE CONTENTION

"Nothing,v said The Times in speaking of
the meeting at Cooper Institute, could be
more striking :. than the relative feeble
ness and want of spirit of the leaders in it.n
And yet from early in the evening until mid
night a multitude, greater and more enthu-
siastic than any similar meeting has attracted
in New-YOTk for many years, filed the great
hall of the Institute, surged around the outer
stands, blocked up the squares, and gave eX
citement TO the streets. For hours the neigh
bOrhoOd resounded with shouts of "Greeley

moved through the avenues fireworks lighted
up the night all the manifestations of pop
ular sentiment which party managers usually
spend so much labor aud money to prepare
for occasions of this kind, were even more
marked than we have seen them before. Ger

The keen competition existing between
European producers wasno doubt the main
argument of NJ. Jules Favre in the powerful
address he has delivered in the French Ma
tional Assembly against duties on raw ma
terals. lie holds that when commodity
cannot, from natural causes, be produced at
home, the manufacturer who procures it on
the best terms can sell the finished product
cheapest. President Thiers, as a veteran Pro-
teetionist, comedies this; but the French are
opposed to the income tax, and, as he must
have revenue, he favors the imposts which
his ex-Foreign Minister so strenuously opposes.

WISHING N-JEFFERSON- CARPENTER.

WISHING TON-JkFFERSO
We are concerned to discover that the Hon.
Matthew H. Carpenter disagrees with George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson. The first
fathers of the Republic judged it wrong and
a degradation for a President to appoint a
relative TO office or accept a gift; but our
later reverend Senator thinks it ridiculous to
concur in their opinion. Look here upon this
picture, and on this:

could do his duty in brass buttons better than in

those ntrusted by the testator with the direction of
the Academy have determined to make it a training
school in preparation for college. The course of
study will give thorough preparation in the classics,
mathematics and other studies necessary for admis-

town of Quincy will be admitted without charge;
for all Others the annual fee will be 800. The
Academy will be under the head-mastership of Prof
William Il. Dimmock, late of Williams College.
Those who are interested in photography will like
to know that Mr.. Adamss private library Will be
placed in the Academy; and we can give assurance,
from personal observation that this small but ex-
tremely curious collection is well worth visit to
Quincy TO examine. There is hardly one OF the
great early printers Of whose work it does not con-
tain good specimens covering period In
typographical history extending from the Al
buses down to Baskerville. All tho cele-
brated presses-the Italian, French, Venetian, En-
glish and ScOtch-are represented by fine editions
most of them in their original binding. There are
scores of books in this library which rarely met
with outside great collections and many of them
are enriched by Mr. Adams's autograph annOtations.
II is TO be hoped that the library which has been
somewhat neglected, will now be put in good order
that the books which need it will be carefully re-
paired and that an opportunity Will be given to
scholars under proper restrictions to examine the
collection with the aid of good catalogue.

Some years ago, Mr. William Lloyd Garrison
and Mr. Wendell Phillips had bitter personal
quarrel over the burial of the Anti-Slavery
Society. Now Mr. Garrison makes bitter
personal issue with Mr.. Sumner over the re-
election of Gen. Grant, which he somehow
seems to consider an anti-Slayery measure
Mr. Horace White thereupon takes him TO
task in a cogent letter which we elsewhere
reproduce from this mornings Philadelphia
Inquirer. The contrast which Mr.. White
draws between Mr.. GauisOn's ani-Slavery

Brown whom he opposes, Is not encouraging.

1t is persistenly argued in reply to the conclusive
demonstration that the majority of German news
papers, both Republican and Democratic, are In
favor of Greeley and Brown, that some of the
largest circulation, notably the Stats Zeun0, are
against them, and that this proves that the great
mass Of the Germans are against them. Very we'll
then. THE TRIBUNE has greater circulation than
any three of the Republican papers in New-YOrk-we
had almost said great as all Of them put
together; ergo, the overwhelming majority of
Republicans of New-York are in favor
of Greeley and Brown, notwithstanding the decla-
ratons of the subsidized press The Chicago Tribune
has greater circulation than any three Republican
papers IN its State probably greater than all of
them put together ergo, the overwhelming ma
jority of the Republicans of Illinois are in favor of
Greeley and Brown. The Cincinnati Commercial has
a larger circulation than any daily Republican pa
per in Cincinnati; ergo, the overwhelming majority
of the Republicans of Ohio are for Greeley and
Brown We don't clam this. but it is what the
logic of our antagonists proves for us.
