as that in the Board of Aldermen yesterday
should have been allowed to pass in the law
making body of the foremost American city
but so much is humiiating in our
local politics that no one will be
likely to give way to agitation upon the
subject, and many will not grant it thought.
This much can be said, however, that Mayor
Cooper could not retire from Office with
better certificate of character than the coarse
abuse Of fellows like Sauer and Haughton.
The Park Commissioners get no nearer
harmony. Andrew ii. Green seems so consti-
tuted that he can see no good in anything
which he does not suggest himself. No doubt
he means to further the public welfare, but
he has painfully circuitOus way of getting at 1T.
There was one cheerful CLEAN of sunshine,
however, in the tempestuous proceedings the
day before. That the Central Park is one of the
most impressive examples of landscape art in
the world is due to the creative genius of
Messrs. Olmstead and Vaux, and it was their
executive tact and force which avaied to
work out the design with such thoroughness.

The decision Of the President to grant
Whitaker a trial by court martial, which is
announced in our Washington dispatches, must
receive the approval of the public The sug-
gestiOn that it would be better not to grant
the trial because a verdict against Whitaker
would create new embarrassments and would
make him liable to punishment for perjury, is
the voice of expediency rather than
of justice. The trial he has al
ready had neither established his innO-
cence nor proved him guilty, and the
American people have not that confidence in
the morale of West Point which would make
them sure he had full justice there. lie per-
sists IN asserting his innocence, and in de-
handing a trial by court-martial that he may
make ii clear. 1t seems only just to give him
the chance. If he fails, and is convicted
of the double crime of imposture and per-
jury, that will be an advantage to all sides.
The truth never hurts. The change which will
be m de In the command of West Point be-
fore the trial is ordered will give Whitaker
added assurance Of fair pay-which is all he
seems to want.

THERE seem to be some grounds for the
talk that has prevailed here for the last few
days, to the effect that several Democratic
senators, including Hampton, Butler, Pen
dleton, Ransom and Davis, will vote
against unseating Senator Kellogg, of Lou
isiana. This explains the delay in the
case, which was unaccountable before, as
Senator Hill, of Georgia, who has it in
charge, has said that it should be forced to
an issue without delay. If this is the Pro-
gramme, it will excite the displeasure OF
Hill and other radical Democrats, who are
in favor of every measure possible to re-
duce the chances of Republican restoration
in the senate. But the conservative Demo-
Gratis, including the Tilden men, are deter
mined, it appears, that this session shall
give no chance of complaint to the country.

WHY WAS 1T DONE?


Quite number of our Democratic
friends are disposed to criticise,. with much
severity, the want of sagacity displayed by
those other Democrats who participated in
the reception and entertainment of General
Grant in Cairo. These carping gentlemen
profess to see in these public demonstra
tons, that OF which Others appear to be OBJ
livious, viz; that underlying all such ebuli-
tons OF popular admiration for Grant there
is deep purpose on the part of Grant Re-
publicans to make "cats- paws" of Demo
Gratis in the work of pulling the presiden-
tial chestnut out of the fire Of future uncer
tainty. SAIL these popular outbursts," in
sist the same cautious and far sighted fell
lows, "are inspired by Grants henchmen
and wire-pullers; and while the ostensible
object is to give the people sight OF the
"Great American warrior" the ulteri-
or purpose is to intensity the "boom"
that is intended to carry him
intothe Republican nomination for the presi-
dency. If this be not So" ask our suspicu-
Gus and disguised Democratic friends,
"why were the swingings-about OF the Gen
eral, with their accompanying tumult and
uproar, delayed until the very eve of the
national convention that is to name the Re-
publican nominee for the presidency"
II is to be confessed that Democrats who
argue thus do not build without the sem
blance, at least, Of foundation; but we are
disposed to insist that the affair in Cairo
had no political significance whatever
| It was no more "boom" for Grant at Chi
cago. than for Grant at Cincinnati The
most active and conspicuous participants
were prominent Democrats whose intelli-
gence and forecast are certainly equal to
the intelligence and forecast of those other
Democrats who now find themselves in the
complaining mood The idea that quite all
our leading Democrats were Cheated" into
a participation in demonstration that
had for its moving cause the
advancement OF Republican aims, is an
idea that every stage of the demonstra.
ton contradicted. General Grant was in
vited to Cairo because of his distinguished
military services he was entertained as q
great soldier, was welcomed as such, and of
the three or four thousand Republicans
then here, we do not believe there were
half dozen who did not regard the whole
affair as purely non-political an affair
IN which it was the duty, as we know it
was the pleasure, Of Democrats as well as
Republicans to participate. We had been
Doors, indeed, had we refused to partici-
pate; and, in our opinion, no fact connect
ed with the demonstration reflects more
credit upon the Democrats Of Cairo and the
surrounding country than the active and
full-handcd part they played in the Gen
erals reception and entertainment. We
honored him, not as Republican, but, as
was well remarked by Judge Green, as man
whose name must, for all the ages to come,
be intimately associated with the union of
these states.

ENGLISH UNDEFILED.


Among the studies which should be thor
oughly taught in every public school that
of the English language holds high posi-
ton. Every scholar should be instructed
in the art of expressing his or her ideas in
clear concise, pure English, and no edu-
cation should be considered at all satistac-
tory which fails to give the learner this
power
The end desired cannot be fully secured
by merely teaching the rules of grammar.
These are good as far as they go, and
should never be omitted. But they need to
be supplemented by careful study of
good models, and 10y the example of the
teacher. If children are supplied with
books and papers which are written in
pure and elegant style, and which are also
good in their moral influence, they will in
sensibly be drawn toward correct style of
expression for their own thoughts. Then if
the teacher is always careful in the use Of
language, and aids the scholar in the selecss
ton and study Of models, his progrtss will
be both certain and rapid.
But it is not in the school alone that the
education of the child is secured. The
home influence will be strong either for
good or evil. In some cases it reintorces
the lessons taught at school, but 1t too Oft
en- neutrali2es them and renders them Of
little practical value. If there is no refine
ment at home, if no care is taken to use
pure words and pronounce them correctly,
if the rules not only of grammar but Of
common propriety are constantly violated,
the child will certainly be influenced there
by, and this influence will be both evil and
permanent In after life the marks Of
coarse surroundings and unclean speech,
and improper pronunciation will be upon
him, and will prove a great hiudrance 70
his progress, if not an impossible barrier to
success. BY these means he will be shut
out from many positions of influence and
profit which in other respects he is quah-
fed to fill.
The ability to use pure English is Of
great value to its possessor, whatever may
be his station in life, and should be sought
by every one whose mind is still in the
formative stage. Parents should insist up
on its being taught in school, and should
see to it that home influence and home eX-
ample are always in its favor.
None are too old to learn, but the young
can form good habits Of speech much more
readily than the old can break off bad
ones. The methods are simple. Apply
the principles of grammar to common con-
versation and to all the writing which is
performed. II will not do to have one
vocabulary for ordinary use, and another
and much liner one for special occasions.
Such method will prove impracticable.
If coarse words are ever used they will
sometimes be spoken almost unconsciously
In some moment of surprise or excitement
they will come out and thus betray those
who do not wish to use them in the pres
ence of others. Travellers Record.

PROF. G. w. EMERSON in his lecture
upon "The Coming Man." before the Moral
Educational association of Boston, among
other valuable and pertinent thoughts, has
the following:
I'd. What is the coming man to be So
ciallyl Upon the purity Of the domestic
life, all social life depends. That mans
domestic life is purer than in the olden
time no one can doubt who thinks and OBJ
serves. Once, IN poetry and in song, wo-
man and wine were inseparably connected.
That is all gone by. Woman is now asso-
ciated in mans mind with the church, with
charity, with literature; and though she is
yet looked upon as too merely minister to
mans comfort, that too will pass away in
time. Again, it is beginning to be believed
that man should be brought up TO the same
standard OF morals as woman. The old
idea that woman is the keeper of her own
virtue and mans also, is dying out. The
time is coming when man shall feel that he
is responsible for himself, and that he is in
duty bound to make every part OF himself
the servant of his will.
"Cuture is as much part of true relig.
ion as good works. BY culture is meant
the perfection of the whole man-the slow,
harmonious development of the head and
heart. There are no safer guides
to happiness than sound judgment
and good Celia P. Wolly.
