LAST NIGHTS SESSION.

The subject of the Japanese mis-

Church engaged the attention Of the
assembly last night, and drew a large
audience in addition to the regular
assembly of ministers. A lecture was
delivered by the Rev. f. B. Crissman,
of st. Louis, and formerly Of this
city. Numerous curiOsities from dis
tant Japan we're also exhibited and
explained. Among others was a ia
panese god called a statue Of Buddha,
also volumes of the works of Buddha,
with other objects used in their reli-
gious worship. An appeal was made
for contributions to the mission fund,
and a considerable sum was sub
scribed. DR.. Anderson, of Texas,
once a missionary, spoke and stated
that young ladies we're needed as
school teachers among the heathens.

"NO gentleman, says the professor,
never gives a military salute to a
lady Well, hardly we should say
he wouldn't. The military salute
varies from a simple graceful wave of
the hand to three rufles Of the drums
color, trumpets sounding the flourish
and arms presented, and so on up to
the President. who is entitled TO a
salute Of twenty-one guns and d" the
highest honors-all standards and
colors dropping, officers and troops
saluting, drums beating and trumpets
sounding" Now if the gentlemen of
America got into the habit of raising
such a racket as that every time they
met a ladyit would be rather more
startling than a chronic Fourth of
July. Professor Tanning is correct.
This sort of thing wants to be dis
| couraped.

AN UNFoRrUNATE ADMISSION.

While the Democrats have all along hoped
to fool the people into the belief that they
have sought in abolishing the existing cleo
ton laws to promote honest and free cleo
tons and fair count, some of their leaders
have made admissions during their recent
debates at the throne of King Caucus which
show the utter hollowness of these pre-
lenses. General SINGLETON, of Illinois, is
among the rabid and outspoken on that
side, and in the fever of his debate in caucus
he made admissions that show conclusively
that the object of repeating these riders is
to tear down and remove the safeguards that
they throw around the elective franchise,
and thus expose the ballot-boX to all sorts
of frauds usually practced by the Demo-
cratic party. He said that if they permit
ted these laws to remain upon the stat
ute book, authorizing the appointment of
marshals and supervisors of elections, the
result would certainly be the election of
whoever the Republican party might nomi-
nate for the Presidency in 1880. These stat
utes provide for the preservation of the
peace at the polls and for officers who shall
supervise the elections to prevent fraudu-
lent voting and fraudulent counting of the
votes. There can be no just claim that
marshals and supervisors ut the polls
tend in any degree to produce unfair or
dishonest results. Thus far history
shows the reverse to be the effect of their
presence and supervision, and it is tor this
reason that their presence is undesirable
with the Democratic party. They virtually
admit that with fair elections and honest
counts the Republican party will inevitably
elect whoever they may nominate for the
Presidency in 1880, and hence these safe
guards of right, propriety, and justice must be
removed. Mr.. SINGLETON only echoed faith
fully the sentimeutand purposes of his party,
and such admissions only help TO convince
the country that the President fully COM
prehends the case, and that the veto is
justified by every consideration of duty re-
lating to the present and future welfare OF
the country. The declarations of the Demo-
Gratis, in substance, that their only hope of
party success in the next Presidential cleo
ton is through II corrupt and outrageous
exercise of the ballot, and that of itself is
sufficient to satisfy every good citizen that
these laws, one and all, should stand be-
tween the Democratic party and these
temptations to fraud and wrong.

statement of legal point is the best argu-
ment that could be made in its support. SO
it is with respect to the refutation Of an in
correct position. A clear statement of the
true principle wipes out' the most elo-
quent arguments made against it. The APP
plicntion of American republican princi-
pies of government, which recognize no
right or power of Congress to grant public
money for any purpose, knocks all the DEM
ocratic British parliamentary monarchical
logic into pi The President conclusively
shows in his veto message that the Congress
is in duty bound by the Constitution to dp-
propridte public money for the maintain
ance of each branch of the Government,
and for other necessary public purposes
The English Parliament is sovereign in its
control of the revenues of the Empire. 1t
can even legislate Her Majesty out of office,
or, on her demise, establish n new dynasty.
English officials are servants of the
Crown" not servants of the people. Her
Majesty's privy purse is from time to time
granted money by Parliament, and such
supplies rs are granted in this way, go to
pay Her Majesty's servants their wages, and
her personal salary and expenses, and o
considerable sum thereof is paid to deserv-
ing pensioners, or flvorites of royal bounty,

raj clergymen in INDECENT circumstances,

Under the GEORGES and their prede-
cessors royal mistresses, such as the Countess
of Kilmannseck, or the Fair RosAMoND,
were provided for in handsome style by
annual or standing Parliamentary grants OF
public money; and it frequently happened
that redress Of grievances, or promotion of
eloquent and troublesome members of Par
Lament to the peerage, were made con-
ditons expressed, or secretly understood, of
such grants.
The word "grants iscorrectly used when
the English Parliament provides money and
devotes it to any purpose, public or pri-
vate, moral or immoral. With us repub-
licans the only legitimate or constitutional
political use of the word Grant" is its appli-
cation of surname to our next President
and he was not made bya Congressional
grant ora Parliamentary grant, rather the
opposite. lie granted his services to us in
the war, saved the country, and made Con-
gress, our national Congress, possible.

National Theatre-The Success of "a Freaks"
The very arccal comedy which un der the name
OF Freaks" is attracting so much attention at the
National Theatre, where II is being presented
nightly by the Criterion Comedy Company, is OF
German origin, Mr.. +. I. MnCkay's adaptation be-
ing an enlarged version OF Bluedirs "Dr. Wespe"
which has enjoyed unusual popularity in the Ger
man theatres for many years. The characters in
troduced in freaks" all more less freaky on
one subject or another, and the dramatist
has simply exhibited their eccentricities through
magnifying glass. To relate the plot nt
length Is unnecessary, not to say impossible. The
unnaking is caused by the exchange of names
between certain characters, to whom we are intro.
duced at the opening for the purpose OF furtherng
their amatory designs. The complications that fol-
low are ingeniously compounded until confusion
rcigns supreme and nobody knows who IL who or
'tother from which" The ove-making of TheOdoiildo
GOldbun, the spinster poet, who feels that her
last chance Is at hand, and the conquess of a
gaudy rt, DR.: hetchiun, furnish the strongly ludi
crous scenes of the piece, which is by far the most
enjoyable absurdity seen on the stage in long
time. The Criterion Company play their parts with
comic seriousness to the situations. The dialogue
Is always good and sometimes witty and the fun Is
incessant. We have before now spoken of the ad-
mirable impesonatons of Miss Louise Sylvester
Mr. Mockay, and Mr.. Hopper They are creations
akin to those of Lord DundICory and the
Crushed Trogedian. Miss sylveSters por-
trayal Of the typical blue'stocking is a
model of stage art, and Mr.. Hopper gives us rich
caricature Of the would.bc fascinating swell in.
stinct with the comedy. Mr. Mackay aS TheOphilts
Crank, the woman hater, is most amusing, though
the part Is comparatively n weak one for fine an
artist. ofthe remainder of the east there need be

fidelity to the right infinite credit, and is
honored by the plaudits of grateful peo-
pie, who have been made happy by this ex-
alted display of fearless patriotism under
firm discharge of his constitutional duty.
OF course the Democratic press at once
resort to the Chinese system of warfare with
noisy gongs and offensive stink-pots but it
will be of no avail. The President will be
neither frightened nor forced from his
position by any demonstration that
the conspirators may be pleased to
make. Intrenched in right, and backed by
the loyal sentiment Of the country, he can
fearlessly and calmly survey the scene OF
tumult that is raging around him, and
smile in pity Mt every miscreant who howls
fraud at his feet. These things may be un-
pleasant, but they are all perfectly harm
less, and can be endured in patience. 1t is
little amusing to witness the efforts of
those who assail the President to find some
foothold or standing ground upon which to
plant themselves to make this controversy
with the executive power. Thus far they
have two points upon which they
labor to sustain an attack. The
first is State Rights, and the
other obsolete English precedents, which do
not apply to our own form of government,
except perhaps, by way of comfy. They
ignore the Constitution and the laws of our
own country. They forget that this is a
Republic and not constitutional mon
archy, and that the people rule, when they
rule rightly, by an honest ballot, for which
the President is now giving battle. They
| seem to forget, or if they have not forgotten
they do not seem to care for the fact, that
when State sovereignty ensues Federal SOW
ereignty retires and that when we resort to
the precedents of monarchy for the form
Of our Government we cease to be Repub-
lie. The two main planks of the Demo-
cratic platform, as asserted at this juncture
by its adherents, are outside the Union, the
Constitution, and pure republican form
Of government as much as secession and re-
bcllion were, and the popular judgment
will reject them as political heresies.

THE SHIFTING UNDER DISCONTINUE

THE SHIFTING UNDER DISCONTINUE,
The Southern press, now that the Presi-
dents veto message has been promulgated,
is in frustrated and excited frame of
mind. 1t is disappointed. 1t had hoped
that the President had been captured, or that
he would not antagonize the plans and pur-
poses of its Representatives in Congress in
an effort to strip from the civil power Of the
Federal Government the means of its en-.
forcement But it has learned its mistake.
The Executive has asserted not only his
prerogative i'm fearless and able manner in
this emergency, but he has shown an un-
shaken allegiance 10 the Constitution and
the national welfare, and has done this from
position so strongly intrcnched in law
and right that there is no power to dislodge
him or weaken his fertilization and hence
the Democratic press everywhere resort to
raillery and abuse. 1t denounces him as
fraud, with display of glaring capitals
that are designed to intimidate, while the
performance is attended by grimaces
aud contOrtions that must be painful
to the performers, if they do not hurt the
feelings of the President, who is a calm OBJ
server of the performance. He has taken
his position boldly and firmly, He has
placed in the pathway of these conspirators
an obstacle that they have no power to re-
move or surmOunt lie has exposed and
checked their newborn scheme of TevOlu-
ton. In this he has done himself and his
