Governor HoMman's Return.

Governor Hoffman is reported as due in
this city on his return from an extended
foreign tour. He has inspected the Pyra-
mids Of Egypt and puzzled himself over
those heavy riddles with the aid of guide
book. he has contemplated fallen Rome In
what remains of her Colosseum. He has.
indeed, gone over great deal more ground
than old Rip Van Wrinkle did in that famous
ramble which led to his absence for so many
years; and, like Rip, he once more returns to
The scene Of his former activities. There are
some relations which may suggest that his sur
prise VIII likely be as great as Rips was when
he saw that famous picture of gentleman
in q blue coat with brass buttons con-
spicuous on a signboard that once gloried
in the efigy Of His Majesty George III.
There have been great many changes, and
yet, what is different2 Men Of the same type
and style as those he knew are waging the
same political warfare in tho same way, and
animated by the same motives. There are
little differences in the names in some cases
unessential and unimportant variations on the
great theme-but the principles" are in the
same characteristic activity. And no doubt
when he hears from one side and the other
that all the candidates are rogues together,
and observes the small tactics Of chicanery
and vilification and the earnest activity for
spoil that is so universal, he will feel thor
oughly at home and be oppressed with the
comparison between our republican liberty
and tyranny abroad

Wauack's Season.

We are delighted to find that the manage
ment OF this favorite house have resolved to
present such series of attractions this season
as must command success. New plays will be
produced from the pen Of the foremost living
dramatist and old ones that have won for
themselves the undying affection of the popu-
lar heart will be presented with splendor
and completeness never before witnessed on
the metropolitan stage. But what will give
most satisfaction to the public will be the to-
tai exclusion of the prurient drama which some
speculative managers imported from Paris in
the hope of naturalizing it in America We
are happy to say that the attempt has proved
an utter failure in those theatres that sought
to achieve popularity by pandering to the
coarsest passions. We have had strong proof
that public opinion will not suffer the produc-
ton on the stage in this country of i'm
moral lessons thinly covered over by
sickly sentmentality. Our people want to
be amused, but not at the expense of decency.
Fortunately too, we may depend on the
severe censorship of the press in the absence
of any governmental control of the stage.
How powerful that censorship may be made
for good we have seen in the withdrawal of
the ''Timbale d'Argent," under the protest
of the press. Other pieces, still more un-
healthy in their moral tone, have been i'm
ported but, instead of the splendid success
anticipated by the hawkers of the depraved
doors with disgust 1t is true these enter
prising showmen threaten us with further ex-
hibitions of the vile stuff, but they are likely
to find difficulty in disposing of their wares
which will bring its own punishment. We
turn from the contemplation of this unpleas-
ant subject to the consideration of the sound,
healthy food provided by the Wallack man
ayers for their patrons with q feeling
Of relief. Partners for Life" one of
II. j. Byron's best efforts, opened the
season last night. 1t is o charming comedy,
without one Objectionable line A play
withal not wanting in interest. 1t will be fol-
lowed by new Irish drama by Dion Bouci-
cault, which will give pictures Of Irish life
differing widely from those with which the
stage has familiarzed the public. The
scenes too, will be laid in one of the most
ron nantic spots in Ireland, giving full scope
for the introduction of scenic effects. Two
plays ore promised from by the same dramatist
for MIR. Lester Wallack, in which characters
specially drawn to suit the peculiarities of
that favorite comedian will be introduced. In
addition the ''School for Scandal will bo
produced with a completeness and splendor
not hitherto witnessed on this side of the
water. Not alone have the settings been de-
signed with magnifcence, but the cast will be
one IF the strongest on record. With such
bright promise does Wallack's begin the
season that we feel justified in prophesying
for this house splendid success.

"ROs0m FrfenGiship."

There is touching little story in morn
his bosom friend, Matsell, wandering through
an uptown fair-Matsell affectiopately ad-
dressing His Honor as 'fWilliam," and ulti-
mately purchasing plaster cast of the Mayor
for twenty-five dollars. When the bust came
TO Matsell's Office the Commissioner ''re-
mained in profound contemplation for nearly
an hour" Then Disbecker came in, when,
according to our historian, the admiring
Matsell slowly raised his index finger and,
pointing to the storied features of Havemeyer,
said, 'There, look! The noblest Roman Of
them all ~"
We cite this beautiful and affecting narra-
tive as illustrating the new sentiment that has
come into our politics the divine
principle of "bosom friendship" The founder
OF this dogma was the Honorable William
M. Tweed, now in state Of suspended ami
nation as leader of Tammany, but who
crystaiiized the glorious maxim that ''ofice is
first for ones sell, and then for ones cronies
relatives and bosom friends"
See how this maxim has fourished. We
look to Washington, and in the Presidency
we have that illustrious bosom friend Ulysses
s. Grant. Think of the cronies he has called
around him and sent off to foreign honors.
His Cabinet is group Of bosom friends,
and with one, or perhaps two, exceptions,
men who have no claim on the party,
the country, or the Office but the per-
sonal preference of their doting chief. See
how this principle has Influenced our dip.o-
macy. Bosom friend and brother-in-law
Kremer is in Copenhagen; bosom friend
Jewell was in Russia the other day, but the
afectionate Ulysses could not stand the
separation, and now he is in the affectionate
Cabinet. We have bosom friend and brother
in-law Casey in New Orleans as commander
of the army and navy in the interest OF KeI-
logg, while in New York we had Tom Muir
ply as Collector Honest Tom, the bosomest
of bosom friends, and far dearer to Ulysses
than any brother-ln-law.
Not only do we see this divine principle in
the Mayoralty, where our venerable Have
meyer lives life of rapture with his Matsell
and Disbecker, and in the Custom House,
where the spirit Of love beams like Mediter-
ranean sky, but in our reformed Tammany
Hall. Honest John Kelly and honest John
Morrissey have regenerated Tammany But
the regeneration means simply that other
peoples bosom friends shall 60 out and their
own go in. For was not this the golden prin-
ciple upon which the absent Tweed acted,
and which he proclaimed as a dogma of
Tammany faith? And who are Morrissey and
Kelly, ''honest' as they are, that they dare
question this sacred commandment? In Tam
many, under the new regime, bosom friends
will be first served. For them the tender
loins and juicy morsels. AS for the bones,
they will come eventually-if there are any
bones left, which we doubt-to the hungry
and expectant multitude who really believe
they control Tammany Hall.

The jerome Park Races.

When the brief season Of watering place
gains Its accustomed appearance OF hustle and
gayety those lovely autumn days can nowhere
be enjoyed with such keen zest as at the
charming park devoted to equine contests and
embosomed amid the hills of Westchester
The fall meeting of the American Jockey Club
comes opportunely for those who are fresh
from the mountains or the seaside, and who
do not desire to be enclosed at once within the
murky atmosphere Of the great city
without o parting visit to the coun-
try. Nature is now clothed in her
choicest raiment, and drive through Central
Park and across the hills beyond Harlem
River reveals scenes Of beauty that the eye
can long linger on with delight. Then there
is tho gay scene on the road and at the course
itself-beauty. fashion and exciting sport-un-
marred by single Objectionable feature. The
smallness of the attendance on the opening
day of the meeting was to be regretted on &C
count of the positive attractions of
the occasion, and it is to be
hoped that the splendid programme
offered for to-day, comprising six races, will
induce more people to leave the dust of the
city and breathe for a day the pure brac-
ing air Of the road and Park. The first race
will be for five hundred dollar purse, the
distance being one mile the second for the
Hunter Stakes, one mile and three quarters;
the third for the Maturity Stakes, three miles,
the fourth for another purse five furlongs;
the fifth for third purse one mile and halt,
and the sixth will be q handicap steeplechase
The management of the meeting should not
have the race days SO far apart Spreading a
meeting at Jerome Park over two or three
weeks is calculated to cause dissatisfaction. In
the early seasons of the course the arrange
ments we're different, and one gala week sufficed
for meeting. There is no sufficient reason
why the same plan should not be followed
to-day One grand race week would be more
successful in attracting large attendance
each day than the present system can ever
hope to attain. This may afford cew to the
scanty attendance on the opening day of the
present meeting.

MacMa hons Opportunity.

The recent elections in France decide two
questions that there is an irrepar-
able breach between the two branches of the
House Of Bonaparte, and that the feeling Of
France is true to the idea of a republic.
We should think that the Bonapartists
would naturally husband their strength and
win the throne before quarrelling about i'm
perial honors and precedence A party whose
chief is pretender to power would
naturally attain power before the leader deci-
mated his following. But Prince Napo-
leon has labored for the disruption
Of the family since the death of his cousin
the Emperor. 1t became necessary for the
followers of the Prince Imperial to decide be-
tween the heir to the throne and his cousin.
They made the issue in Ajaccio, the homo of
the great Napoleon, where Napoleonism is not
merely principle but religion. The result
is that the Prince has been defeated and an
other Bonaparte more loyal to the Prince In
perlal has been elected. There are now two
factions in the Bonaparte family, just as there
have been two factions in the Bourbon family
since the time of Louis Philippe.
This alienation must aid the Republic.
Prince Napoleon will act with the republicans
as far as they will allow him. In the meapr
time the republicans, in spite of the opposi-
ton of MacMahon and the Assembly, have
been largely successful in the elections. We
cannot commend too highly the wisdom, the
patience, the steady, silent, orderly discipline
of this party, especially since the advent Of
Gambetta to it's leadership. His polite good
sense is the highest form Of genius, and
in the end it must win. If MacMahon
were wise he would read events
at their true meaning, place himself at the
head of the republican movement and found
permanent conservative republic. In doing
this he would become the Washington OF
France and win title to Immortality more
enduring because more patriotic and self
denying than that Of Napoleon.

Tho Arrest of Won Arnim.

The arrest of Count Henry Won Arnim in
Berlin is on event of 80 startling character
that without further information we shall not
presume to explain it. Minister Bancroft,
editor Medill and other learned American
travellers, have been telling us SO much about
the freedom" Of Germany, the respect for
personal rights, the resemblance of the new
Empire to the United States, the liberty, en-
ightenment and progress that have come with
the new dispensation, that it is hard to COM
prehend this sudden arrest Of great noble
man and diplomatist and his imprisonment in
o Berlin police station like common thief,
simply because of q political quarrel with
Prince Bismarck. Count Henry Won Arnim
is one of the prominent statesmen of Ger
many. He signed the treaty with France
at the close of the war. He was
Minister to France in time of
peculiar embarrassment, md he showed
the utmost loyalty and delicacy of feeling in
that mission. But he quarrelled with Bis
marck, who disgraced him. He now proposes
to vindicate himself in a publication, and
Bismarck suddenly arrests him, seizes his
papers and locks him up in q police station.
All of this is extraordinary, and we wish
Minister Bancroft, editor Mediu or some of
the eulogists of the new Empire would explain
it We can understand how statesman Like
Bismarck would, to use on American phrase.
'shave no nonsense from his foes. But what
shall we say of the freedom Of country
which enables any minister, no matter how
powerful, to send rival minister to
police station like common felon?
When Voltaire left Berlin with copy of
Frederick's poems which he meant to print,
that great King had him arrested at Frank
fort, and kept him under duress until he re-
turned the volume. But this was done by an
absolute King, at time when kings were alb
solute, and, Notwithstanding, it made great
scandal. The arrest of Won Arnim, pro-
ceeding no less arbitrary than the arrest of
Voltaire, takes place under q free empire
"much resembling the United States in it's
laws and customs
We are afraid freedom and personal rights
in Germany means-when it suits the interest
or the pleasure Of Bismarck. In any aspect
of the case the arrest Of Won Arnim is 80
hgh-handed o proceeding that it must do
Germany great harm in the public opinion of
other nations.

The GLENDENNING case will come to q trial
to-day before the authorities of the Church of
which Glendenning is a minister The ses-
sion will be secret, we are informed. This
will be blunder. This extraordinary case
is one that requires the utmost publicity and
for the sake Of no one so much as
that of Glendenning himself. If he is
innocent he cannot have too speedy q
deliverance. As it is Christianity is now suffer-
ing from the moral epidemic that seems to
pervade the ministry. More souls are led into
doubt, despair and ultimate wrongdoing by
the Glendenning and Beecher scandals than,by
all,the other evil influences of Satan combined.
Would it not be well for our pastors to think
of these solemn facts?

Those who look cheerfully on politics must
not be amazed at these phenomena. II we
confess ourselves as the victims of misplaced
confidence we have the comfort of knowing
that we are not alone in our blighted hopes.
We ought to have known better For six
months we have seen these new saints in the
high places of the Tammany sypagogue-their
hats labelled with their honesty, their voices
full of devotion, the air vocal with their
promises. How could we help believing?
We might have known that nothing was more
useful before an election or moro use
less after than an Iishman-but we
could not believe this of Honest John
Kelly. We might have noted that all of our
modern politics is based upon the benevolent
principle of bosom friendships Grant,
who begins his administration by exhausting
the domestic records of his own family Bible
who sent Mr.. Jones to Belgium, Mr. Jewell to
Russia, Mr. Kremer to Denmark simply on
the score of personal intimacy, down to Dog
berry Havemeyer, who nominates Verges Mat
sell and Charlick to high Office because they
are his cronies. Tammany now follows in
the same direction, and the present Ring par
GELS out its honors to cronies and companions,
as Tweed did in his bediamonded days.
Tweedism is not dead The master Is in ex-
lie, but the shadow remains-just as when
Napoleon was in st. Helena Napoleonism was
the accented and in time became the ruling
element in France.

LOUISIANA Conservative Committee in
Louisiana have issued an address, the purport
of which is that all conservative people should
take hold and vote and endeavor to overturn
the Kellogg government The address is o
little bit wild and declamatory, and is too
feverish in its tone to be accepted
as calm statement Of the condi-
ton of affairs in Louisiana. But some
thing can be pardoned to the spirit
of resistance, especially to government
like that of Kellogg. We trust the con-
servative men will accept the advice Of the
committee. There will be fair hearing for
Louisiana when Congress meets. The public
opinion of the North is too earnest on this
subject to permit any more injustice to the
people of this and other suffering Southern
Commonwealths There is more potent in
fuence at work than Kelloggs checkbook.

The UNITED STATES CONGRESS of the

DR.. vinton in his address called attention to
the missionary work necessary for the ad-
vancement of the cause of Christ-a point
upon which the reverend divine dwelt with
special emphasis DR.. Smith read paper
on o church question which led to an interest

point before the Church was "What are we
going to do with the millions of souls that are
to be saved?" There could be no graver
question than this, and our reverend friends
cannot too earnestly discuss it.
