New York CITY. December Is, 1854.
The EQuestrians of the Capital.

While this beautiful December weather
has drawn people out of doors to enjoy the
succession of sunny days the eqnestrans
have sought the country roads about the city
in greater numbers. The President is fine
horseman, and Secretary Lincoln is fond of
brisk trot, and though Mr.. George Ban
croft, the historian, has given up horseback
riding for this winter, there are many other
prominent men who take their airings in
that way. A number of young ladies are
seen in the saddle every afternoon, and rid
ing parties are frequently gotten up TO scour
the country around the city. Secretary Nc
Culloch's daughter is fine rider, and APP
pears to advantage Ia her dark habit, aud
Miss Morgan, daughter of the New York
banker whose family has resided here for a
couple Of winters, is a most indefaiigable
horsewoman, and is always followed by an
English groom, who is the despair and envy
of all the other swell riders. Miss Pende-
ton, Miss Rockwell, Miss Edgar, Miss Eus-
tbs. the granddaughter of Mr.. Corcoran, and
Lieut.. Emory and his wife are others OF the
equestrian parties. The daughters Of the
preceding British minister, Sir Edward
Thornton, used to ride regularly while they
lived here, and only the severest weather
kept the Misses Thornton at home. Mr..
Vests daughters having spent so much of
their lives at French convent, are not such
| typical English girls, and as the elder Miss
West has taken very prominent place in
| society, she has little leisure to cultivate
| these pleasures.

Mr. Edison is no longer mayor of New
York, and on the whole we should think he
would be glad of it. The last weeks of his
administration have been filled with trouble.
Mad because the County Democracy did not
nominate him for reelection, he has been
trying to get even with them by filling the
offices which it was intended the incoming
mayor should fill. The County Democracy
have fought him at every turn, and at every
meeting of the board of aldermen for the
last week an injunction from the courts has
been brandished in bis face forbidding him
to exercise the powers of his office. One
OBrien, contractor, made oath that Edison
in bis character of Aqueduct Commissioner,
promised him lat contract if O'Brien in re-
turn would get two aldermen to support Ed
sons appointments Mr.. Edison denies the
charge In toto, and alleges that it was
trumped up simply as a foundation for an
injunction. True or false, it has served the
purposes of the County Democracy, and sew
-srai iDjunctions have been founded upon it.
Despairing of getting the last injunction dis
solved before his term expired Mr. Edison
took the bull by the horns and proceeded in
spite of it, nominating Roland P. Squire for
commissioner of public works, nomination
which the aldermen promptly confirmed.
Whether under the circumstances Squire
will be allowed to hold the Office remains to
be seen. 1t is altogether probable, however,
that Mayor Grace will contrive some way to
get rid of him, even il the courts sustain the
legality of his appointment.

In recent letter, mainly in correction of
some false impressions which he felt I had
derived from reading his Harvard address on
Greek, Mr.. Charles Frances Adams, jr., wrote
thus: GAS respects English, for instance, l
agree at once that the classic education has
lugged by neck and shoulders into the Ian
guage of the Bible, Bunyan, Defoe and Cob
bett an accumulation of jaw-breaking, poly
syllable bsrbarisms, which, to me, are the
disgrace and bane of modern English. 1
never come across. them without jar of the
artistic sense; indeed, they, at one time, sue
ceeded in degrading the pure English of Pill
grim's Progress to the level of that of 'Ras-
selas.' Accordingly, for myself, am forced
to say that, as one whose maine business is
to write English ard whose success in life is
largely due 10 the power of doing so, the
chief advantage that l have derived from
my classic education is that have been able
to detect to certain extent and expel Lat
inisms from my composition"
1t may be observed that this passage gives
a good, or fair, example of Mr.. Adams's well
we'll known mental and literary character
isties. One may observe, also, that the
writer seems never TO have heard of what
another judicious author has called ''the
rhetorical warning that the weakest way Of
stating thought is to oyerstate it," With
the best of good nature, in the spirit of
''gentle hermit" and in the interest of
truth and fact, wish to look little into
these remarks of Mr.. Adams.
In the first place, the idea of Mr.. Adams
here is that English, or the English Ian
gusge, has been injured, even disgrdced, by
the introduction into it of classical words
aud "barbarisms," as he sees fit to
call them; that is, words and phrases de-
rived from the Greek and Latin and that he
been able to expel, to some extent, such
'4nts from his own writings.

The Hon. Samuel J. Randall as he pr o.
ceeds southwark is gradually warming to
his work. His initial speech at Louisville,
aside from few platitudes about taxation,
had very little in it OF a political nature. At
Nashville, however, hs boldly advocated the
abolition of the internal revenue system,
characterizing it as ''inquisitoriar' and con-
trary to the genius of our institutions. There
can no longer be any doubt that Mr.. Ran
dalPs trip South was undertaken, not for his
health or for his pleasure, but solely for the
purpose of strengthening the protection SEN
timcnt of that section. The battle between
the free traders and the protectionists of
the Democratic parry has yet to be fought
out. Randall may be said now to be skir-
mishing for position.

We should infer from Judge White.
houses remarks in passing sentence on
John S. Baker, who murdered Julia F. Tuck
at Albion, which are published elsewhere.
that public sentiment in Kennebec county
condemns the eniency shown Baker by the
jury as strongly as public sentiment does
everywhere else. 1t is usual in passing SEN
tence for judge to address his remarks to
the prisoner; but the character of Judge
Warehouses; shows pretty clearly that they
were intended fer the public rather than for
the culprit. The Judge evidently is anx-
ious that the public shall understand that
the responsibility for the verdict rests entire
ly with the jury.

that an attempt is likely to be made in the
legislature this winter to repeal the capital

gallows argue that the frequent murders the
past year show that capital punishment has
no restraining influence. Perhaps it would
be well to wait until some of the murderers
are hung. 1t may be that the men who are
capable of committing murder need to be
convinced that the law will be executed

Here let me state one or two fundamental
truths in this matter of English. What is
English, or the English language? Is it
Angio-Saxon? Is it Celtic? Or Danish? 1t
is no more these, in any sense, than it is
Greek or Latin. English is a fact, not a
fancy, nor an opinion, nor a preference.
English of the English language is the ag-
gregate of the words actually used by Eng
disappearing people. To write or speak
English well and purely, is TO write and
speak the actual English language purely
and well. Mr.. Adams raid on Greek and
Latin derivatives is precisely as unwarrant-
ed as would be an attack on Anglo Saxon
derivatives.
Now bunyan, for example, wrote good
Engish-first, because he knew the actual
English language well, its Greek and Latin
words, as well as its Anglo-Saxon, and even
better; and secondly, because he had an
instinct or genius which guided him to the
use OF choice, picturesque and telling word s.,
without reference to their source. So of
Defoe, Goblet and King James's translat-
ors, and all our great English writers, ex-
cept that hardly any one has owed so much
to genius alone as Bunyap. John Bright
uses, as matter OF fact, Greek and Latin
words, just as freely as Gladstone, and the
beauty and power of his style lie as largely
in THIS fact as do the same qualities in Glad
stones. John Bright has never wasted his
time in the impossible and improbable
work CT trying to ''expel Latinism" from his
composition. He has used the language as
it is, and used it as great master, of
course. The difference between Bright and
Gladstone, in this respect. is, in the first
place, one of temperament, native endow-
ment and genius, aud, next, of training.
Bright, probably by force of greater natural
gifts Of speech, is the greater orator, bat not
at all because he expels or tries to expel
''LatiDisms,' for he does not, as matter of
fact.
Tbe question of Greek and Latin studies
in colleges and schools is merely the ques-
ton, what course Of study will best secure
what Bright has got by genius and industry,
unaided by classical or academical training,
and what Gladstone has got by such training,

Ralph Bingham.

The boy orator, Ralph Bingham, as
was mentioned in last issue, made his APP
pearance in the NJ. Il. Church here on
Friday evening of last week. On account
of the inclemancy of the weather, but
small audience greeted Ralph. At about
s o'clock he appeared before his audi
ence, and after few explanatory re-
marks, proceeded with his program. As
Il personator, he ranks high, and al
though admirably acquitting himself in
all, yet in no other role did he more
greatly please and amuse his hearers
than in this. Ralph also masters the
violin and rendered selections. Should
he ever return to Newark, there is no
doubt but that Il full house would well
come him. For one, so young in years,
he displays unusual talent and has been
enabled to please people in many places
where older actors and lecturers have
failed. Young Bingham, will visit Chris
tiana village, the second time, in the near
| future.
