SUMNER'S CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

The committee to which this bill was re-
ferred have agreed upon report, and it ii
said that the most Objectionable features
have been stricken out, and even in this
form it is not likely to pass. This is one
happy effect of the death of The vindictive
author of this bill. If he had lived, he
would have whipped his party into its
adoption, and would have forced upon the
white people of the South the most disgust
ing social equality with negroes. Is there
not matter of rejoicing to all who do not
| agree with Summers project that the Lord,
in His own way, saw fit to defeat his
nefarious purpose
AS evidence that Summers purpose had
not changed. it is reported that with his dy-
ing breath, he commended this bill to Judge
HOar. a member of Congress from Massa-
chusetts, and of ruling passion strong in
death, this was an exhibition. The provi-
sions of this bill as prepared by Sumner,
We're so searching and stringent, that they
raised an cutlery against them from many
staunch old abolitionists, and yet we are ac-
cused of narrOwness because we have no
words Of regret at his death. We have
nothing to do with his private character,
and yet had he been man of such benevO-
lence and charity-sO catholic in his views
as his tlatterers would lead us to believe
how is it that he drove the woman he had
sworn to love and protect from his door, and
forced her to become an alien from his home
and heart!
There must have been something rotten
in the man, besides his political rOttenness,
and we are forced to the conclusion that
back and behind his public professions there
was a seething cauldron of hate and vim
dictiveness animating his political conduct.
We know enough of the lives Of public men
to know that the general public away from
Washington, knows little about their secret
springs of action, and that their motives
and actions do not correspond with their
public record We shall not give currency
to the gossip that has been busy with tbs pri-
vate character of Sumner, but it is enough for
us to know that he married virtuousland
cultivated woman, against whom no breath
of SANDER was ever uttered, and that either
his habits or principles were such that she
could not or would not live with him, and
this of itself is enough to damn the man i'll
our estimation, and we would have no conf
dence in him if his Democracy was as bright
and shining as his Radicalism was repug-
nant to all our principles and feelings. His
public life, so far as we are acquainted with
it, was one of vindictive hate, thinly dis
gused under abolition pretense, willie his
private life was one of scandal and disgrace.
We know nothing in the man to redeem his
character from such dishonor.

Academy Of Music,

Variety is the spice of life, says the old
adage, and it is fully illustrated at the
Academy of Music by the clever manager Of
the theatre, who seem to thoroughly under
stand the art of catering to the public taste.
Whoever goes to see the Seven Sisters will
certainly get one evening of his existence
thoroughly spiced, for the piece is grand
combination and collection of variety.
The female minstrel scene in the first act
is most successful hit. replete with novelty,
clever sayings, and witty remarks, with the
exception of one or two stale jokes, such as
the one about the dog wagging his tail.
Please muzzle that dog. Miss Harrison won
new laurels for herself in her effective act
ng and sweet singing, but has decidedly
too strong tendency towards slang express
sions and affecting a genre canaiNe. Miss
LeOna Dare as usual carried her audience
by storm. Her peculiar grace, alriness Of
motion, and true artistic action impressed
the connoisseMr with her real merit.
1t is rarely that we have the pleasure to
chronicle such neat and unassuming stage
action as that of Misses Freidenburg and
LeBrun
The Waite Sisters please all who visit the
Academy by their appearance on the stage;
but we are sorry to say the deluson is dis
PEELED when they open their mouths. A
gasping at "H's" and struggling for Rs
somewhat incommode the public, but no
doubt this is owing entirely to some ma
tural defect rather than education.
We hope for their Improvement.

THE LATE ELECTIONS.
THEIR SIGNIFICANCE.

The Chicago Tribune, a journal which did
more to build up the Republican party than
any other in the West, in its notice of the
late elections, says:
1t appears pretty evident, from the re.
suit Of the elections in Ohio, that the entire
German population and a very large portion
OF the native vote who sympathiZe with
them have abandoned the Republican party
forever. 1t has been but very few years
since every city in Ohio, without exception,
had Republican government To CAV the
Republicans have not control Of one Of the
cities. Cleveland and Dayton have outdone
even Cincinnati in their majoritles against
the Republican party. The same may be
said to have occurred in Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota.
q The Republican ascendency in these States
has for several years been maintained by
this vote, which is now lost to it, and most
likely forever. This vote controls the three
Congressional and seven Senatorial Districts
of this county, and half dozen other Con-
gressiOnal Districts in the State. The dis
affection, however, is not confined to the
Germans. There has been SO much cant and
hypocrisy, and such an abuse of Christian
and religious names and objects to hide con-
fessed and notorious frauds and villainy,
that thousands Of persons everywhere have
resolved to cut loose from the party and act
independently"
It says that the Republican party has
received a premonitory shock Of the general
paralysis it will experience in November,
1874" Its discontinue is inevitable. 1t is
stripped Of the allies by whom it has been
kept in power.

correspondent of The Continental Her
aid, writing from St. Petersburg on the 17.b
of March, in reference to the Philadelphia
Centennial, says: 90 The Russian Govern
ment has decided not to take official part in
the Exposition, and will appoint no Com
mission. The reason alleged for this is that
the Exposition is private undertaking, and
although it has the sympathy of the Presi-
dent and Congress, it is not under their con-
troll nor is the Government responsible Tor

TIE DRY GOODS TRADE.
New York journal of Commerce. April s. J

New York Journal Of Commerce. April 81
The market has been less active for most
descriptions of cotton productions, owing
probably to the large distributions of the
previous week, consequent upon the marked
concessions in prices then made by manufac.
turers' agents upon nearly all classes OF
staple cotton fabrics. At the reduced rates
the stock of many leading descriptions was
promptly closed out, and Of others it. was
essentially diminished. The sales of the
current week from first hands have been
mostly restricted to small lots of such goods
az were required to replenish assortments,
and they have been comparatively moderate
in amount. Among jobbers there has been
steady traffic in progress, although 1t has
been less spirited than we expected. Good
Friday was generally observed by dealers as
a semi-holiday, and many places OF business
were closed soon after meridian.
Prices of plain bleached and nnbleached
cottons have been subject to a further par
tial revision, with view to equalizing rates +;
prints of most leading makes have been
marked down half a cent per yard; glng-
hams have generally been reduced one cent !;
printed lawns and percales OF popular makes
have maintained prices; wOrsted dress
goods of desirable styles have been mod
erately active; ticks, denims and stripes
have moved little more freely at the re-
Gently reduced figures; cloths and cassi-
meres have been comparatively quiet
The market for imported fabrics has been
a little more active, although there has
been no rush of business. The sales from
first hands have been generally distributed
among the different productions to an IN
creased aggregate amount, and the trafhc

The manufacture and sale of antiquities
in the East seem to be in wonderfully pros
porous condition, and are assuming many
forms. The fabrication OF Moabite statues
and vases in the pOtteries of Jerusalem is
but one expression of this enterprise, into
which the easy Turks and Arabs carry an
energy quite foreign to their natures when
engaged in honest employments. A citizen
of Constantinople employs coppersmith to
manufacture bronze plates on large scale,
which are Oxidized by means of acids, and
with so much success that Russian archeol
ogists have been unable to detect the i'm
posture upon internal evidence A Cappa-
docian named Agab is now making the tour
of Europe, selling spurious coins that are as
good as the original copies unless the differ
ence in age is known.
The magnitude of this industry and the
receptions that it has accomplished must
rather shake confidence in Trojan excava-
lions and kindred recent discoveries. DR..
Schliemann may have found Andromache's
dinner-set, or he may have unearthed tripods
less ancient than the Puritan frying pans
that hang as relics in New England garrets.
The Cardiff Giant, had it been dug up in
some disputed Biblical territory, might have
passed muster unquestioned as a Philistine
god, and been honored with a niche in the
British museum. As it is, it is nothing more
than monstrosity over which the doctors
in science disagree. 1t is reported that these
antiquarian counterfeiters of the East have
received some valuable hints from ingenious
Yankees who found therein rich and un
worked field for their peculiar talents.

Mr.. Winans, who has lately taken Mr..
Gladstone's London house, is Baltimore
merchant who made a vast fortune in the
Russian trade. The ex-Premier's is a partic-
ularly charming abode. 1t is in Carlton
House Terrace, about four doors from the
residtnc of Mr.. Russell Sturgis, the Ameri-
can partner in Barings Mr.. Gladstono's
house was formerly Lord Pembrokes, and
was then remarkable as being the most ex-
qusItely furnished in London. The houses
in Carlton House Terrace and Carlton Gar
dens are, as a whole, the finest in London.
They occupy the ground on either side of
the celebrated palace of the Prince Regent,
Carlton House, which was pulled down
about 1925. Regent street was planned
with the view of creating splendid avenue
| from Carlton House to the Regents Park.
The first royal parsonage who occupied
Carlton House was Frederick, Prince of
Wales, father of George III. A good share
of the enormous expenditure of George the
Magnificent went in this mansion, which
was furnished with unprecedented splendor.
'Even an Aurungzebe, Says writer in 1890,
"would feel surprised at the gorgeous bril-
liancy of this palace"
The rents of houses in Carlton House Ter
race and Carlton Gardens average from
$4,000 to $1,000 year. 1t is Crown prop
erty. Two of the finest houses are occupied
by Earl Granville and the North German
Embassy-Prussian House, Lord Ripon and
the Countess Frances Waldegrave occupy

long noted as Lord Palmerston's, before he
removed to Cambridge House. The charm
