THE Post this morning very upjustly ac-
cuses THE CRITIC of incendiarism and in
citing disorder and resentment. The charge
which would bea very serious one il not SO
fully disproved by the course THE CRITIC
has taken, is based mainly upon tho fact
that newsboy yesterday afternoon at
tached to the bulletin-board in front of this
office piece of paper that was, it is re-
ported, intended to announce that Demo-
Gratis who participated in last nights
demonstration would be shot.
The scribbled, misspelt and meaningless
words were torn down as soon as their
presence was made known to the office, and
did not remain up more than a minute
altogether.
THE Critic was CAREFUL yesterday to
counsel good nature, order aud forbearance
on both sides and particularly addressed
itself to the Republicans of the city.
The statement that any publication yes
terday was incendiary in tone or intention
is utterly unlounded.
In the news columns THE CRITIC state
facts merely, and in an inonensive form,
while editorially it urged peace good
temper and good-feeling upon everybody
and protested very earnestly and sincerely
against violent or ill-tempered display o.
partisan feeling.

THE present season is ono of unusual in
terest to church-goers. Many important
questions are pending, and many iunova.
tions have been made. Tho approaching
conservation of an Episcopal bishop, tho
dedication Of o Catholic cathedral, the
completion of new churches OF almost
every denomination, the recent appoint
ment and expected arrival OF successor to
DR.. Rankin, tho efforts to fill the Taber-
nacle pulpit, and the selection of q sue
cessor TO DR.. Paret as rector of the Church
Of the Epiphany, arc each Of them events of
unusual interest and Importance in local
religious circles, and coming SO close
together form au almost unprecedented
combination OF topics of discussion and
speculation.
In DIR. Rankin's successor the city has Sc
cured an eloquent and able man, who will
command respect and attention aud awake
general interest by his pronounced views,
forcible ard original manner and convinc-
ing logic.
The indications favor the belief that the
Epiphany and Tabernacle pulpits will be
filed by two of the ablcst clergymen of the
land Of their respective denominations.

How Shall we Elect Our PresIdenisg

In be ginning thoughtful and carefully
written article In tho November Century
on "IIow Shall we Elect our Presidents?" "
George Ticknor Curtis quotes an American
writer who said TO his countrymen soon
after the Constitution went into operation,
'You have nothing TO fear from your Con-
stitution; your Constitution has everything
to fear from you" Mr.. Curtis then goes
on TO demonstrate how the people have
broken away from the Constitution in the
matter of eecting their President. lie
shows that the Constitution contemplated
the Presidential electors as a body of men
wholly independent in their action, tied
down by no pledges and intended to act as
nee agents in choosing the President. "rhe
design Of this intermediate body" says

the tumults that might attend direct vote

ing the election should be fairly rcpre-
sented.
1t is by such an adaptation of tho present
system and not by any fanclful and inn
practicable Constitutional amendment that
the will of tho majority of tho people can

TO curtail tho power of the people, but
rather devise a method whereby that power
can most Justly exert itself.

The disgraceful affair that marred the
occasion was the outgrowth of that violent
partisanship which it is tho duty of all
good citizens to discounsenance and as far
as possible to obliterate.
The procession was organized in the right
spirit, the feeling that prevailed was cred
liable alike to all concerned, and the good
humor with which the boasts and cheers
and iecrs of the respective parties were
given and received is to be commended.

THE GAVOTTE.

The gavotte, more modern. though
in tbs present day quite as old-
fashioned as the minuet, belongs to
the last days OF the French mon
archy, which it survived to become
for time the fsvorite dance OF the
"Mervellleuses" and the "Incroy-
ables' of the Directory. Like 30
many other dances il ia of national
or rather local origin, and takes its
name from Gap. whose inhabitants,
called 'gsvots" and "gavottes," say
that their little town is at equal dis
lance from Geneaa, Lyons, Turin,
Avigpon. and MarseiIIes. The
":gayotte" was introduced as a pend
ent to the minuet; probably at time
when people were beginning to get
tired of the more ancient dance,
from which it differs in the first place
by being danced to music in two four
instead of like the minuet in thrte-
four time. As musical form it has
never possessed for composers the
same attraction as the minuet; though
of late years it has been cuItiva ed to
some extent by composers who seek.
ing for the new have only been able
to find it in a revival of the oil.
Every one has heard at orchestral
concerts the minuets and gsvottes OF
Boccherini, and there lie charming
example OF the gavotte il Ambrose
Thomas's opera OF Aignon. The
gavotte was first brought into general
favor by Marie An:oiuetta, who
danced it at court as &c 1uel to the
minuet. Hence the name menuet de
la couT given to the two dances con-
sIdered as one. 1t was replaced for a
time during the Reiga of Terror by
the more lively Carmagnole; and
though it foarished again in the
luxurious lays of the Directory, il
died out under the Empire, which
