Not Catching, We Hope.

The humor of the Massachusetts, canvass
is not all on General Buffers side. The time
worn controversy concerning the use Of the
Bible in the schools is varied in Boston
this week by dispute concerning the
compulsory reading of political pamphlet
issued by the republican State Committee
and entitled Cutters Record" AS may
naturally be supposed, this pamphlet.
coming from such a. source, does
not discuss the Generals record in
complimentary manner, and some Of
his supporters not unreasonably object
to the prescription of it for lessons
in public evening schools. We hope that
the example of the teacher or school com.
mitteeman, whichever it may be, who is
responsible for this joke, will not be CATCH
ing in New York. Otherwise we may have
our children practising spelling exercises
upon Mr.. Pierrepont's orations, Mr.. Kelly's
stump speeches or Mr.. Tilden's correspond
ence with Cyrus Field, one or the other,
according to the political majority in the
Board of Education.

Our special cable despatch from London
bringing us anaccount of the progress of the
-Labouchere libel case before Sir
Robert Gardens court will be found ex-
ceedingly amusing reading. Certainly our
readers may be thankful that the two
wrothy editors did not take the boat
across to Belgium, and there settle
their difficulties with coffee and pistols
in the most approved French fashion. OF
the droll scenes that occurred yesterday in
Guildhall, to the delight of judge, janitors
and audience, we should, in that case, have
been unfortunately deprived; for the
comical fracas in King William street
needed farce as its conclusion-not .
tragedy

BY our special despatch from Pittsburg
it will be learned that DR.. Lemoyne, the
apostle of cremation, has finally proved his
faith by his works, and at least portion of
him has been waited heavenward from the
chimney of his own crematory. His man
tie, however, does not seem to have fallen
upon competent shoulders, for it is re-
ported that the furnace was not hot enough,
and what should have been the almost in
stantaneous incineration described by its
leading advocate was unpleasantly sug-
gestive of q common culinary blunder.
If the ghost of the would-be reformer of
mortuary customs looked through the peep
hole Of the retort, as it certainly did if al
lowed to have its own way, and saw that
the furnace was only cherry red instead of
at white heat, it must have desired to wit
ness just one more case of imperfect and
long protracted cremation (of which SER
mons occasionally give supposititious de-
tails) and to provide the subject therefor.
Imagine, if possible, the sensations of a
lone ghost contemplating the body which
in scientific enthusiasm it had given to be
burned, and seeing that feshly tenement
change its nature in a manner the very re-
verse of that which had been promised to
other people, and all this after the ghost
has lost its amanuensis There is, however.
one hope with which the disembodied
spirit may stay itself-Mr. Kiddle still lives
and may perhaps find room in another COL
lection of manifestations for such criticisms
and explanations as the Doctors shade may
desire to offer.

tariffs. A party which has such
history will be found to possess
great tenacity of life. Even its cop
perheadism during the war did not
ruin it, but only prostrated it for few
wears and its alliance with infiationists
merely scotches but cannot kill it. With
it's rich inheritance of proud national recol-
lections the democratic party has irrepres-
sible powers of rejuvenation, and only long
persistence in blunders can ever disband it.
It's recent defeat in Ohio will probably
cure it of the initiation insanity, and If
Tammany and Tilden mutually destroy
each other in the New York election the
field will be clear for reorganization of the
party under new leaders who will be faith
full to its principles and make it the
worthy heir of its illustrious history.
Divorced from initiation, purified from Tam
many, and freed from the incubus of it's
Old Man of the Sea and the cipher de-
spatches, the democratic party may, even
next year, present a formidable front to its
political adversaries.

The Enulish Mission.

Why is the English mission Kept vacant
Is it possible that the government cannot
find man whom it is willing to intrust
with the important diplomatic relations
between London and Washington Is the
place kept open for some one2 Is Mr..
Evarts keeping it for himself? We have no
great faith in our system of representation
at foreign courts, but the law provides for
o certain diplomatic force and for the pay
ment of the Ministers, and while it does SO
it ought to be acted upon. We ought to
have Minister, unless it is decided by law
and public policy not to have one. If the
places are to be abolished we shall not OBJ
ject, but while they exist they ought not to
be used as bats or as prizes neither to ex-
cite favor nor to reward it. Is the English
mission held open now with any such un.
worthy object?

President Seelye, of Amherst College, an
experienced publicist and independent
thinker, discusses the freedom of the ballot
from partisan tyranny in a we'll written
letter to one of the young republicans in
this city who intends to scratch the name of
Mr. Cornell from his ticket and asks
counsel of his former preceptor on the
subject. The tenor of this letter, which
we print elsewhere, is IN encouragement Of
boiling and scratching at large according to
the conscience of the individual voter,
but save by inference it does not answer
the question which his correspondent
appears to have proposed. We perceive no
reason why President Seelye should assume
that it was only disquisition upon gen.
eral principles that was requested from
him. There is no more impropriety in his
giving specific advice to New York repub-
licans concerning the pending nomina-
tions in particular than there is in the
volunteering Of such advice by any other
citizen of Massachusetts General Banks,
for example, who has addressed q repub-
lican ratification meeting here this week at
which the election of Nj Cornell was
recommended as an encouri6 6ement to the
denomination of General Grant for Presi-
dent Of the United States.

There was an ancient time when an Amer
lean tourist who had travelled in Europe
and come safely back was regarded by his
neighbors with the samo admiring interest
which now attaches to Stanley or Nor
denskjold. The experiences of common
Atlantic passage, at present SO familiar,
were almost as unwonted as adventures in
Arctic seas or Central Africa. Our New
York revenue officers are doing something
to restore this old romance of perilous adj
venture to passengers from Europe. An
honest father of family, landing at this
port and running the gantlet of the Gus
tom House, seems fairly entitled to be re-
ceived in the bosom Of his home with the
same congratulations as if he had escaped
from the clutches of savages along the
Congo.
