"He who was in Them, in whom these were,

vulgar after all these fine things, we
should like to say just two words.
and those two words are, Goodness gra-
cious! Why, how nice that little allusion
is to the Pagodas! To say nothing Of the
Eremites! And nothing of "He who was In

not at all surprised to observe that the gen

Master of Arts We should think sO great
many of them The Man who was in the
pagOdas and the eremites and the shrlnes ana
the pilgrims and the temples and the beliefs
and the knowledge, and who, we are pleased
to observe, is still living, must be an extraOr-
dinary character, to whom, should opportunity
offer, it will give us great deal OF pleasure
to be introduced. He must be Man worth
knowing, especially if he also has the PagO-
das and things inside of himself still. But
we doubt. He is described as a person "in

be expected to carry them, and especially the
Pagodas, forever.
1t was curious, perhaps it was reviving,
when after a great many more OF these beau
tifully mystic and awfully Orphic remarks, a
spoken party got upon his legs and said
something about the Taxes He did not make
the most distant allusion to Socrates or to
Plato or to POntus PLATE or to Beranger, as
the other speaker did, but he said, in plain
bomespun way: "No tax is so cheerfully
"paid and brings such substantial returns as
"the school tax. which does more TO avert
"crime and anarchy than any other agency"
If this be true in Camden, then is Camden to
be congratulated, although that respectable
town may not have a single Pagoda, and Is
even extremely short of Eremtes.

TIE ARKANSAS MIDDLE.

The Arkansas muddle, or rather the attempt
of the Administration politicians to make a
muddle of Arkansas affairs, illustrates the
effect of Federal interference with State Gov
ernments, and the influence of corrupt and
self-seeking politicians and demagOgues upon
whatever they touch. Here is this man Smith
claiming to have been elected Lieutenant
Governor in 1872 upon the Republican ticket
with Elisha Baxter for Governor. In the
course Of series of political changes and
bedevilments of the most bewildering descrip-
ton, it happened that Baxter, the Republican
Governor, and Brooks, his opponent changed
places squarely, the former becoming an Op-
pOnent and the latter supporter of the Ad-
mnistratiOn, The men Clayton and Dorsey,
United States Senators-save the mark-Chief-
Justice McClure-knOwn as Poker lakeland
Others who had cOnspired to cheat the people
in 1872 by counting out Brooks and counting
in Baxter, undertook to make amends to
themselves for the detection of Baxter by con-
Tossing the frauds by which he had been
counted in and demanding his removal. They
went TO Washington with their demand That
has come to be the habit of these people.
Through some piece of good luck the Presi-
dent did not interfere, and Baxter continued
to discharge the functions of the Executive
Office. Ht-,
This then was the tangle of affairs Baxter
and the State officers voted for with him had
been counted in Clayton and his gang had
urged the Administration to recognize" them
as the State government--that fOrmality being
essential to their legal existence according to
modern authorities--and they had been" recog
"nizedn; Baxter having quarreled with some of
these patriots, and 80 of course arrayed him
self against the Administration, they disclosed
the frauds in the election, and proceeded to
Washington with tho demand that Baxter

QPENING A NCUOOL.

We are always sorry for the boys and girls,
when there is an opportunity for giving them
something in the way of an address, and they
do not get the best of the kind, like Dr.
Chanpngs admirable Sunday school Sermon,
for instance, or Prof Faradays Lectures for
the Little Ones. The Opening of New School
affords an excellent chance for speaking kind
and wise words, good alike for the grown and
the growing; and however much we might
yearn for the presence of Mr. Walt Whitman
and his extraordinary Tyre upon different oc-
casions we should hardly follow the example
of Camden, N. j., and send for that bard to
pronounce the Ode of Conservation in the new
temple of education. The Camden people, or
perhaps their Committee, did this with
dubious taste on the 31st ult., and Mr.. Whit
mans production is printed in the local news
paper of the 7th inst. OF this we shall attempt
no description. The shortest line is: "And
YOU, America" and the longest contains 90
words, and is constructed according 70 the
prosody of no language with which we are
acquainted, or wish to be. But we are not
disposed to be too critical of man who is out
of health and who has been cruelty encouraged
in his occentricities by absurd fattery upon
both sides of the sea.
The principal address given upon this oc-
casion was by gentleman who asked "Was it
&" Beranger who said, Let me write the songs
"of people and care not who makes the
CLAWS pm We can answer the question dis
tinctly-it was not Beranger. Who it was,
everybody would be glad to know and nobody
ever will know. Fletcher of SaltOun says he
knew man who was Of this opinion, but he
does not give us the mans name. We hardly
think that the next age will trouble itself too
curiously about the authorship of the following:
Himself withdrawn from the sensational
| "realms of the arts, commerce and the pro-
" fessiOns-sensationa in the early and evan
escent appeal of their successes to q ready
/" and undiscriminating appreciation himself
| retired from the cumulative act and competi-
| /" tive life of richly compensative spheres, he
"hurls amid earth's intense strifes, with a

"tellects, young, strong, newly awakened and
maturng.r This sentence, it will be observed,
has many of tho various characteristics
of different writer's it is long, like
some of Jeremy Taylor's; it is verbose, like
some of Macaulay's; its thought is recondite,
and 30 sometimes is Mr.. Emerson's. We are
willing to believe that to the citizens of New
Jersey who listened to it, here was uttered
wisdom in any quantity but what readers in
the neighbOring States will make Of it is more
than we can undertake to say. Here Is some-
thing which those who caro- only for verbal
opulence may like better: palace and city

should be turned out and Brooks put in.
They did not propose, however. to turn out
the remainder of the ticket, which had been
counted in by the same process, or to annul
the election of Senator Dorsey by Legislature
which was also fraudulently returned. 1t was
such snarl that interference was impossible,
and it was left for local unraveling by the
people themselves The State Legislature last
summer undertook to do this by ordering
a Convention for the formation of new Con-
stitutiOn. The Convention met and sub
mitted new Constitution for the vote OF the
people in October. 1t was adopted by an
overwhelming majority. A resolution of the
Convention provided for an election OF State
officers and Legislature at the same time with
the vote upon the new Constitution, the result
conditioned of course upon the adoption Of
that instrument. Anti-AdministratiOn State
officers and Legislature were elected by de-
cisiye majorities. There was no room for
doubt as to the wishes of the people. In ac-
cordance with that result, Gov. Baxter has
tnrned over his Office to Garland, the newly
elected Governor, the Legislature has as
sembled. and the State machinery has been
put in motion.
And now comes Mr.. V. V. Smith, who was
counted in two years ago as Lieutenant-GOv-
ernor, and claims to be Governor. He has
asserted his claim, and, as the fashion is,
besought the President to recognize" him,
and set him up in Office by means of Federal
troops. Meantime he hides somewhere from
officers seeking his arrest, and the Depart
"ment of Justice" is puzzling over the legal
complications of the question. 1t occurs to
us. while the Department of Justice is en-
Gagged in overhauling the law, examining
precedents, and prosecuting the search for
pretexts upon which to crafty those eminent
supporters of the Administration, Messrs.
Clayton, Dorsey, and Mcclure, at the cost Of
the peace and good order Of the State, that
the common sense of the people has reached
a conclusion by a much shorter process. This
is their reasoning. The people of Arkan-
sas are entitled to government OF
their own choosing Clayton and company
cheated them out of it in 1872 and then tried
TO take advantage of their own wrong in
1884. They have now, in their sovereign ca
pacity. adopted q new Constitution and are
acting under it. BY whatever legal precedent
or techncality they may be again turned over
to the Clayton gang and cheated of their
choice. there can be but one name for it; the
public will denOunce it as tyrannical out
rage. A straight line is the shortest distance
between two points. The question here Isl:
"What do the people of Arkansas want 2"
To that they have already made answer, and
"the Department of Justice" had better let
that answer stand, even against the advice of
Powell Clayton and Poker Jack"
New-York tribune., 1874-11-20

an official explanation of the allusion had
been asked for he might have declined to give
it, and his refusal would have been justified
on the ground that his speech was purely
domestic matter concerning which no foreign
power had any right to question or complain
It cannot but be annoying to the patriotic
self-love of the British nation to see their
present Prime Minister reduced to 80 awk-
ward position for the purpose of avoiding
misunderstanding with Prince Bismarck, and
his predecessor, the leader of the Liberal
party, endangering the very existence OF that
organization by a politico- religious controversy,
which appears merely like the contre-coup in
England of that contest which the inde-
fatigable Chancellor is waging in Ger
many against the pretensiOns of the Pope.
