Can heaven itself t+ heaven and 100k un- moved ap hell?” the only preludes to the festival proper, which opened on Monday, the 15th, with the composer's greatest masterpiece, the Mes- siah. Of all Handel's oratorios this one is, perhaps, his most characteristie work, and most truly reflects his peculiar genius. Not only the intrinsic grandeur of the theme, but also the circumstances of trial and troub!e under which he wrote it, com- bined to render it the great representative production of the man. To those who are familiar with Handel’s personal history, just before the year 1742, many of the fin- ° if the Messiah bear a decidedly autobio- graphic character. They are not only the musical expression of the sublimest relig- | ious feeling, but also embody the emotions which filled his own soul when dark clouls hung over his head, and he himself knew what it was to be “a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief.” This is especially apparent in the contralto air, “ He was despised and rejected,” which Madame Sainton-Dolby sang with an exquisitely tender pathos, and the series of majestic but mournful choruses that follow. Mr. Sims Reeves delivered the tenor solo with grand effect, particularly the opening reci- tative, “Comfort ye my people,” and the spirited air, “Thon shalt break them,” which immediately precedes the famous “Hallelnish.” This magnificent chorus, rendered bv such a multitude of well- trained +o:.e@s, surpassed in power any- himself may nave conceived of only as an impossible ideal. Of course, no verbal description can bring before the reader’s mind the gradations of tone, the light and shade, the hights and the depths, the broad and bold diatonic effects, the noble sim- plicity end yct ample majesty of such a piece of choral writing, execute& oy such an assemblage of vocal and orchestral is one of the most popular of Handel’s orchestral pieces, and in its execution right, or he is not a complete Saviour. This remaining corruption, which is matter work. This point was not enlarged on. est passages and grandest movements of of yesterday was truly magnificent. From the opening “ largo,” through the allegro and adagio movements, to the soul-inspiring march which concludes it, it was a most majestic and fitting prelude to what followed. In this oratorio imita- tive music attains its highest perfection, not only in the mere suggestion of sounds and the painting of great catastrophes ; but also in the moral emphasis and pro- found spiritual significance which blend with them, and are conveyed by them. The repulsiveness of the several plagues— such as the loathsomeness of the waters, the skipping of frogs, the crawling of the various insects—were given by the stringed instruments and in the vocal solos with a pre-Raphaelite minutencss and occasional spasms of realism somewhat offensive to a fastidious taste. The “ Hailstone” chorus, however, was unsurpassed in its peculiar grandeur; and the effect of that wonder- fully dramatic passage, “ He sent a thick darkness,” delivered by a gigantic choir of nearly four thousand voices blended into abiding than he had ever known. promises. into Horeb fountains, of distinct and painful consciousness after the clearest eonversion, his blood can’ wash away, or it is not the all-powerful remedy he says itis. And when the faith of an earnest, growing Christian, who is stil] distressed with the sense of remaining corruption, épprehends Jesus as a Saviour to the full extent of the need which has been thus revealed to him, he enters into a “second reat” more full, glorious, and Let metaphysical theologians dispute about the possibility of such a state; let them cavil at the terms used to describe it. The heart of the church all over the world groans after it; the Bible holds it out to the hand of faith in a host of brilliant A multitude of Christ's heroes in all ages have found it their abiding and joyous inspiration; and a still larger number of the Lord's bidden ones have extracted from this experience that which has transformed their treadmill toil into a celestial luxury, and their rocky barriers 8.

The meetings were held in the Kirk and John-street churches. Addresses on home missions were made by Rey. Messrs. Pilatte of France, Wheel- er of Harport, Dr. Clark of the American Board, and others. The evening was de- voted to home evangelization, which work is hereafter to be under the guidance and patronage of the Home Missionary Socie- ty. A report was submitted by Rev.

Heart- lessness seems sympathetic; and vice thing thac 4 nave ever heard, and must have realcea what the great composer one, can be better imagined than described. As the solos are less frequent and less prominent in Jsrae} in Egypt than in the other oratorios of Handel, I need only say that they were all admirably sung ; specify- ing only the tenor solo, ‘‘ The enemy said,” on account of its extreme ‘lifficulty and the marvelous power ana energy with which Mr. Sims Reeves rendered it, fill- ing the immense transept with his clear and resonant voice. The attendance at this festival has been greater than at any previous one, the sum total of persons present during the week being nearly ninety thousand. The next meeting will be in 1871, when itis anticipated that a still further development of resources will Jead to still more splendid results. OP. TB. _ — i Coming to this blessed state by various paths of Scripture study, of experimental acquaintance, or of theological teaching, men have described it by various epithets. It has been termed “ the higher life,” “ the assurance of faith,” “ perfect love,” “ holi- ness,” “Christian purity,” ete. What titles can better describe it than abiding in Ehrist, and swul-rest; the one the logical cause, the other the consequence? Under these two aspects, this experience, both in its want and in its realization, is admirably detailed in the personal history of one of the most gifled of writers, whose pen has greatly enriched the literature of Ameri- ca, and illuminated its experimental theol- ogy~Mrs. Stowe.

Lonpon, June 20th, 1868. To Tue Eprror oF THE INDEPENDENT: Tne British metropolis has seldom been so crowded with gay life as at this time. Indeed, the present season is in many re- spects the liveliest that has been known for many years; owing, doubtless, partly to | the extraordinary beauty of the weather, which 18 sO inspiring to pleasure-seckers and harmonizes so well with all kinds of social festivities and recreations. The cen- ter of attraction for the week just passed has been the great Triennial Handel Fes- tival, at the Crystal Palace, which closed yesterday. This is, I believe, the fifth celebration of the kind, and the third tri- | ennial mecting that has been held at the | Crystal Palace. The first, in 1857, was | merely an experiment; the second, in 1859, was performed in commemoration of the centenary of Handel's death; and the third | was coincident with the International Ex- hibition of 1862, since which time they have | become a triennial institution. None of | these, however, can be compared to the | present festival, in the magnificence of the | preparations and the array of musical tal- ent that was brought together from all | parts of the United Kingdom as well as | from the Continent. The managers of the | Crystal Palace left nothing undone to |meet the demands of the occasion.

It is peace in the midst of storms—a blessed- ness that is fostered by tribulation; Christ’s own peace bestowed according to his assurance, “ My peace I give unto you.” What iis peace was is sufficiently evident to every attentive reader of the Gospels: it was the peace which consists in a grand mastery over the most trying circumstan- ces, and keeps the soul self-poised and calmly jubilant just when it would seem as though there could be no peace at all. These two postulates will command general assent: first, that the religious ex- perience inculcated in the New Testament was meant by God to be the soul’s satisfy- The conclusion is irresistible that Chris- tians gencrally fall Jamentably short of the experience inculcated in the New Testament.

Tre essential nature of mendacity is its spirit of deception, and its expressions are as manifold as the ends that are sought by the corrupt heart of man. Using all sym- POWERS, D.D. from steaming rooms, and the hurrying sons and daughters of toil that are rung in and out, do strongly suggest a “ working-day world.” But, for all that, there are few cities whose environs provide so many beautiful drives—aye, 80 many opportuni- ties to erect splendid residences ; some of which, as in Belvidere, and up the Merri- mack, near and above Pawtucket Falls, have been well improved. Gen. Butler, when he marched through Baltimore, left a home that commanded a wild and dash- ing section of the combined Coneord and Merrimack, after their waters had been re- leased from giving impulse to such acres of machinery, which either a poet or a and highly cultivated manner with which she sang the airs, “ From Mighty Kings,” and “ Wise Men Flattering,” from Judas, fully justified.

Tle creation of an army of a million of soldiers among a people unused to war, and hardly knowing whether they could fight or not, and then the peaceful retire- ment of that army back into the bosom of society—and that too without any peril to public order, or to the civil power—this is really one of the prodigies of our times.

And far up the Mer- rimack—be‘ore the placid waters take their plunge downward, or through enticing canals accept their task to furnish so many yards of fabric, cotton or woolen, daily— far up the Merrimack, where memory clings to sweet twilight hours of rowing or floating, with appropriate songs and laughter, our present friend and former parishioner, W. E. Livingston, Esq., has erected a dwelling, from whose windows the country looks like a painting freshly laid on upon canvas; and the river, pine- edged, flashes along seaward like a great belt of molten silver. Well, here in Lowell the Congregafional ministers and churches of Massachusetts assembled for a three-days’ mecting; a sort of wedding festival, celebrating the union of the Association, a body of sixty- six years’ age, and the Conference, which has been in being but nine years. The ages were unequal; but, as the banas had been duly published and the parents and guardians were compliant, if not all ex- actly willing, the event has been actually consummated. The Association had no lay element—the element which, in these days, notwithstanding its name, like Ban- quo’s ghost, will not down. The Confer- ence had; therefore the result. The body is to be hereafter known as the Gencral Association of Congregational Churches of Massachusetts. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. Nahum Gale, D.D., in the First orchestra of nearly 500 performers; con- sisting of 101 first violins, 96 second viol- ins, 73 violas, 63 violoncellos, 66 double basses, besides 8 flutes, 6 piccolos, 8 oboes, 8 clarionets, 8 bassoons, 5 trumpets, 12 horns, 6 cornets, 9 trombones, 7 ophicleides and euphoniums, 2 serpents, 4 double drums, 1 base drum, and 8 side or military drums—-comprising the most accomplished executants that could be assembled frem the best bands of the metropolis and the provincial towns of England. Owing to other engagements, I did not attend the public rehearsal of Friday, June 12th, at which twenty-seven pieces were gone through, it is said, “ without the slightest now startling and astonishing all the cockneys within the sound of the bells of Mary-le-Bow. Yet, nothwithstanding the general character and utterly false direc- tion of the piece, the masterly genius and higher aim of the composer pervaded the whole—spiritualizing, as it were, these bald mimicries, and putting into them a deeper meaning than that which belongs to or- dinary imitative music. The execution, both vocal and instrumental, was exceed- ingly refined.

Much prayer and Scripture-searching deepen the conviction, and reveal to the soul its paradoxical con- dition, as at peace with God through faith in Jesus, and yet as borne along sometimes by a kind of involuntary antagonism to God.

Singing Congregational and from the Plymouth Hymn Book, which is used by four of the five Congregational churches in the city ; the other, Dr. Blanchard’s, using Dr. Robinson's “ Songs of the Church.” The sermon had some excellent suggestions about preaching Christ, in distinction from preaching theology. A more strict, if not more discriminating, discussion might, perhaps, have shown How this preaching of Christ introduces the doc- trines of God and man. Did the preacher intend to imply that President Edwards did not preach enough of Christ when dis- coursing on “ Their feet shall slide in due time’? It is Vinet, we think, who says: First preach the Law, then the Gospel, then the Law. But the Law should al- ways act as the schoolmaster to bring men to Christ ; Christ should be the end of it. The gain from this kind of preaching was set down to be: 1. Early conversions. In the former times, people were not expected to unite with the church until they were married. Oreeds have been shaped to the bols that are the medium of human thought, it tells its falsehoods not only by language ; but by look, by tone, by gesture, and deeds that have the semblance of sin- cerity. It takes advantage of the am- biguities of speech; colors portions of de- tail so as to change the significance of the narrative; explains results that were se- cured by fraud with artless simplicity ; directs the listener to immaterial points that divert him from the real issue ; main- tains a cunning silence where honesty would speak, and is voluble with aimable protestations where honor would be mute. its manifestation, is its seeming fairness— its simulation of the truth.

The same lying spirit is betrayed in false balances, false entries, deceitful measures, attractive specimens on the outside to illustrate the character of the whole that is offered for sale. Some seem to think that their reputation for business depends upon their success in what simply amounts to overreaching They attach exaggerated values to prop- erty when they discover the cruel neces- sity of the buyer.

What envies there spit their venom; what impurities carry on their intrigues ; what hateful passions are nursed; what low aims pursued. There baseness pays its respects with decorous speech. Dis- gust assumes the air of satisfaction. Guile walks demurely the way to sin. Individ- ual exceptions may be numerous; but this is the true outline of the character of this glittering and seductive world. The results of this untruthful spirit are as afflictive as they are manifold and wide- ly related. It betrays some to fatal indis- cretions. It causes mistakes which en- gender hatred, and inspires enterprises which end in disappointment.

The sensibili- ties that are wont to be exercised in nobie interests become indurated, and a spiritual paralysis holds the higher nature in iron thralls.

On our way we passed the encampment of Prof. Sanborn, of Boston, and a com pany of naturalists, who are sieeping on pine bushes and moss among the rocks, while they spend their days in keen search of beetles and vutterflies for their cabinet.

Now let us turn on our heel, and look westward. Do you see yonder thread of silver winding through the green? That is the Connecticut—over thirty miles aways Do you see a flashing star just below the horizon? That is a distant lake, with the sun-rays kissing its waters.

And then alittle come with an extra coach; and at sunrise we were bowling up the Conway Valley, with four fine horses, at a round rate, through the crisp morring air. Just before we left the valley Mount Washington took off his night-cap of fog, and courteously saluted us good morning. “The same to you, sir!” we replied, doffing our “ wide- awakes.” At Jackson Falls—a nestling-place for artists—we breakfasted with our noble- hearted friend Whittlesey, who comes hith- er for quictude and fishing ; he tells me that the drives from this point are incompara- ble. By eleven o’clock we had reached that paragon of summer-hotels, the Glen House, and engaged a coach for the after- noon ascent of Mount Washington. The short story of our climb, and our Sabbath at the Tip-Top, I shall tell—not for the hundreds of my readers who have visited, but for the thousands who have not visited, the monarch of our Northern mountains. At three o'clock on Saturday afternoon a half-dozen of us entered one of Thomp- son's capital coaches, with four horses, and commenced our toilsome ascent, which occupied just three and a half hours and brought us up just in time for the sunset.

Lafayette’s summit lay long and dark, like a huge tron-clad, on the vapory sea. Over this wide, silent ocean rose the crimson sun ; and at once, lo! the blue sea became one vast pavement of roses and of gold!

The larger part of the ship’s company were converted, in- cluding the captain and his wife. —Rev. Thomas Hassall died, March 29th, in New South Wales. He was the last link connecting the present generation of mis- sions with the first missionary vessel, the ‘Duff.” He was an infant on board that vessel, which carried his father as a missionary. When obliged to leave the South Sea Islands, several of the missionaries, and among them Mr. Hassall’s father, settled in New South Wales.

This has, of course, raised a great outcry from the capitalists ; but Baron Beust has apologized for it in a note, in which he asserts that there is no approach to repudiation. Strange to say, the Austrian sccurities have increascd in value since this step was taken. —The King of Prussia, in closing the North German parliamentary session, sums up the work done by the members, and congratu- lates the young people on the greater ease with which they may now get married, the unfortunate in business on the abolition of imprisonment for mere debt, and anxious parents on the closing of the abomina- ble gambling-houses not much misnamed ‘*hells.”” —The procession of the Body of Our Lord in Florence, on June 11th, had little to distin- guish it from the most ordinary occasion; whereas, only a short time since, it com- manded the attendance of royalty, and every other representative of national distinction. Even in Vienna the ceremony, though at- tended by the emperor and high officers of state, was not observed in the usual way of making a tour of all the churches, but only within the consecrated walls. Romanism is losing ground in Europe. —A novel auction sale took place lately in London, consisting of ecclesiastical vest- ments of every description and of the most eostly character. There were copes, stoles, dalmatics, atbs, tunicles, maniples, chasu- bles, caprets, bircttas, banners, and every- thing else which the most ardent ritualist could require for carrying out in the most complete style the offices of the Church. The novelty of the sale attracted a consider- able number of clergy and laity interested in such matters, and good prices wore realized for some of the articles more generally used. —The progressive women in France and England are asserting their rights in very practical and aggressive ways. In Paris, we are told, they have invaded the sacred pre- cincts of the Bourse jn great numbers, and buy and sell stock with a keen earnestness which completely disconcerts their rivals of the other sex. In England they are sub- scribing liberally toward the election expens- es of their special champions, and so will go to Parliament by proxy, if not in person. If our own ladies are not active, they will be completely outstripped by their Trans-At- lantic sisters. —The railway over Mount Cenis is now in successful operation. It gives travelers pe- culiar sensations to be drawn up or let down long, stcep inclines in railway-carriages ; but travelers become used to it, and it is believed to be safe, though some insist on walking up or down the worst hills, as our own nervous tourists do over the Niagara Bridge. The engine is made to cling to the track by hay- ing two horizontally-revolving wheels, which hug a central rail. The railway has been the work, from first to last, of exactly five years. It wasinthe spring of 1863 that Mr. Fell first submitted his plans to the Govern- ment of Italy, and the spring of 1863 has seen their full accomplishment. —The Scotch Presbyterians are trying to raise the standard of admission to their theo- logical classes. It was stated by a professorin thelate General Assembly thatata late exam- ination in literature there were fifty-five can- didates, and in English twenty-seven passed and twenty-eight were rejected. One of the questions was as to the meaning of the word “hypothesis.” One of the candidates said that it meant ‘‘a machine for raising water.”’ Another candidate said that it meant “ some- thing that happened to a man after his death.’? Another question was, ‘“‘Giye some account of Galileo and Capernicus.”’ To which one of the students replied that Gali- leo was a man that had committed five maur- ders; another that Galileo and Capernicus were two gent!emen who had fallen together in some battle; and a third student said Capernicus was ‘‘a compound of two met- als.” —Ourimported rowdies seem quite respect- able in comparison with the organized rowdy- ism of London. An example is seen in the attempts made to hold meetings in support of the disestablishment of the Irish Church. The leading Liberals of London called a meeting in one of the largest halls; and, in accordance with custom, engaged the mayor, whose sympathies are against them, to pre- side. An houror two before the time an- nounced, the hall was taken possession of by an organized crowd of roughs, who filled all the space about the platform, and who were distinguishable from the respectable stratum further down the hall by the caps which they wore instead of hate. A leader, in a con- spicuous position, directed their shouts and hootings. Not a word through the whole mecting could be heard outside of the line

/ —The church of the American Board in Sert, near Harpoot, has a suggestive history. No harm has been done there by nursing and overtending. From the first they were made to understand Christ’s terms—‘‘In the world ye shall have tribulation” ; and they accepted that gospel when they became Protestants. When organized with a membership of only six, the church at once assumed one-half the support of their pastor and sehool-teacher; and, though persecuted, have grown in the knowledge and love of the Gospel. Thecon- gregation has gone up to sixty, and is con- stantly increasing. —Mr. Chester, a medical missionary and preacher in Dindigul, India, writes to the Missionary Herald that, in connection with the native pastor and five catechists, be has visited, in the work of the itinerancy, 818 vil- lages and preached to a total of 31,360 hearers. He bas always returned to Dindigul for his “dispensary days’’ on Wednesday and Satur- day. He says of his important medical work : ‘*In my dispensary we have had 4,351 new cases this year, being 726 more than last year, and a total of 11,966 since the dispensary was first established.

Direct missionary labors there have already closed, the work being assumed by the two enthusiastic churehes, which bave 360 mem- bers and able pastors, 1,139 Sabbath-school scholars, and 393 pupils in the day-schools. These churches are perfectly independent and labor efficiently for the surrounding com- munity. They contributed over $1,000 last year for the support of schools and worship, which is remarkably liberal, considering that a day’s work, when it can be had at all, brings less than twenty cents a day. In one of these churches nearly all the members con- secrate ene-tenth ef ther ineome, and have raised $750 extra this year (geld) for a new church. In Marash preaching was first held fifteen years ago. Now the two churches number 445 members, with a Protestant com- munity of 1,741. From their distressing poverty they contributed $1,250 last year, paying all expenses. As an example of their devotion, forty men worked more than twenty days to cut down a large tree in the mountains, float it down the river, and then roll it ten miles upon the ground to Marash, for a church-building. —Bishop Williams, of the China Mission of the Episcopal Board, has recently visited Japan, and was greatly interested in the prospect of a missionary success in that land, He states, as quoted in the Spirit of Missions, that ‘‘the missionaries are much more open and free in their intercourse with and in in- structing the Japanese than when he left the eountry for a visit to the United States; and that there is no field in the whole world which scems to him so interesting, and where the prospect is so good for reaping a bounti- ful harvest. The people are all alive; changes, radical changes, are taking place every day. Theyare adopting foreign cus- toms, habits, and manners; and many are quite prepared to become nominal, and some, I doubt not, as true, genuine, whole- souled Christians as ever lived.’? Dr. Hep- burn, of the Presbyterian Board, says that many of the Japanese are adopting Western ideas. He founda native gentleman, whom he had lately visited, ona bed, with sofas, center-table, astral lamp, book-case, ete., in his parlor, where a few years ago would have been found nothing but mats on the floor— no furniture of any kind.

—In at least a dozen villages around Har- poot (Eastern Turkey) the native helpers preach regularly or occasionally by invita- tion in the Armenian churches, In one yil- lage, where there is no open Protestant, the helper preaches in the Armenian church every Sabbath, and two or three times. dur- ing the weck. The priest does not go to the church at all, and the people tell him that they don’t want him to come—they prefer this man. The Armenian priests bave almost never engaged in preaching, except as they have lately done it in imitation of the Pro- testants. In another village the priest preaches one Sabbath and the Protestant helper the next. Even the schools, with their Bibles and catechisms, have in some eases been adopted by the Armenians into their own churches. It has become a pretty settled principle now, among the native helpers, to confine themselyes to the funda- mental truths of the Gospel, without attack- ing openly the rites and ccremonies of the old church ; and this is the reason that oppo- sition is so far disarmed, and so ready access is gained to multitudes of people. This is in accordance with Paul’s practice, who was freely admitted to the synagogues, and is the same policy as is defended by Mr. Maurice in

THEODORE TILTON, Enrror. HENRY C. BOWEN, Pus.isner. NEW YORK, JULY 16, 1868.

THE NEW CIVIL WAR, Avpaciry, violence, and revolutionary frenzy blew their breath so furiously through the scrannel-pipes of Tammany that already the whole land rings with the echo. “ We regard,” says the platform— and let the American people give heed !— “we regard the Reconstruction Acts {so-called) of Congress as usurpations, and unconstitutional, NULL, and VOID.” As an official commentary on this text, Frank Blair, in the letter which secured him his nomination—a letter which that nomination unanimously approved—de- clares : “There is but one way to restore the Gov- ernment and the Constitution: and that is for the President elect to declare these acts null and void, compel the army te undo its usurpations at the South, disperse the car- pet-bag siate governments, aliow the while people to reorganize their own governments and elect senators and representatives. The House of Representatives will contain a ma- jority of Democrats from the North, and they will admit the representatives elected by the white people of the South; and, with the co-op- sation of the President, x will not be difficult to compel the Senate to submit once more to the obligations of the Constitution.” This is the matured plan! This is the Democratic party’s prospective policy! This is its beautiful method of harmoniz- ing a distracted country! This is its pro- posed use of universal amnesty ! This policy means the dispersion of the Senate atthe point of the bayonet. It means the nullification of every new siate government throughout the South. It means the crushing of Southern loyalists under the heel of rebel aristoc- racy. It means the rendition of the negro to his former master, ina serfdom differ- ing only in name from slavery. It means the putting of both houses of Congress ander military rule, till they shall receive Jaw from, instead of giving law to, the President of the United States. It means the reinauguration of civil war. The new policy is as great an affront to the American people as South Carolina’s too ready to water the fine wine of Lib- erty, Justice, and Equality. The Democratic platform is too out- rageous for a large section of the Demo- cratic party ; and that section will vote for the Republican instead. But, on the other hand, the Republican platform is too conservative for the Radicals of the Re- publican party; let the Radicals, there- fore, augment this deficiency by striking the key-note of the campaign high and loud for equal and exact justice. Cowardice is quadrennial—it attacks politicians every presidential year. The platform at Chicago ought to have made an eloquent demand for the political rights of the negro throughout the whole land. But, while it takes care of its ward on the other side of Mason and Dixon, it leaves him to shift for himself on this. Such a platform recommends it- self by its very delinquencies to all those Democrats who wish to be partially hu- mane and not wholly tyrannous—or, in other words, to all who dislike Seymour, frown at Blair, and yearn for Chase. Without pretending to read the future, it is, nevertheless, safe to predict that the progress of the campaign will show the Republican party victoriously united, and the Democratic fatally divided. We urge the Republicans, therefore, to make a nobler use of the coming campaign than the mere achievement of a partisan suc- cess. Let them not try to win the Demo- crat, but to right the Negro. In every North- ern state where this despised citizen is de- nied a vote let the question of his political rights be urged. The Chicago platform submitted the negro question in the North to the Northern states; it made this ques- tion, North as well as South, a legitimate issue of the campaign; it invited the North to put itself on as high a plat- of the North accept the issue promptly, debate it thoroughly, and decide it ‘ustlv. Fighting against a politica: party that declares reconstruction yoiu, and that proposes to exalt the Southern rebel into supreme authority over the loyal South, the only safe, brave, and just policy for the Republicans is to stand steadfastly by the negro, South and North. until a universal law of equal suftruge snall pro- tect the negro and the republic against the common enemies of bou.

HOW THE VICTIM WAS CHOSEN. How did it happen that the nomination fell on Seymour? Was it through the superior scheming of an ambitious aspir- ant, who, like Cesar, feigned a refusal of the crown only that he might the more safely clutch it? This is what The Her- ald predicted he would do; and this is what (judging superficially by the result) he has seemingly done. But this is not a true view of the case. The nomination of Seymour was neither expected by him- self, nor planned by his friends, nor desired by his party. He was simply struck by lightning. To explain the phenomenon, one must go back to January last, when the delegates to the Convention were chosen. The West had even then a candidate—it was Pendleton; but the East, up to the assem- bling of the Convention, had no favorite— not even Chase. Accordingly, while the Western delegates had positive instruc- tions to go for Pendleton, the Eastern had simply a vague intention to go against him. “ We do not wanv w eat fire!” ex- claimed a New York party leader, in

Urdinance of Secession, or her first gun at Sumter. Let there be in 1868, as there was in 1861, an uprising of the loyal masses of all parties, who, with patriotic forgetful- ness of past differences, shall reunite their forces for the suppression of a rebellion which was supposed to be crushed at Ap- pomatox Court House, but which has broken out anew at Tammany Hall.

DANGER AND SAFETY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Tok Democratic Convention—with a platform which declares the whole work of reconstruction thus far “ null and void,” with a presidential candidate who made patriots his enemies azd rioters his friends, and with an associate on the ticket who is lighting the torch of civil war—gives evi- dence that the Democratic party is laps- jng into the control of a minority of fire- eaters, and sloughing off the mass of its conservative members. Previous to the convention, there was much talk that moderate counsels would prevail; that the party would be pushed so far forward as to be abreast with the times; and that a candidate would be nom- inated acceptable to disaffected Repub- licans. On the contrary, with the single ex- ception of Vallandigham, no Democrat in the North is more cordially hated by Re- publicans, or more politely cold-shouldered by a large part of the Democratic party,than Horatio Seymour. If shorn of his familiar band of long-disciplined followers in his own state, he would long ago have been Jeft like a general without an army. “I cannot vote for Seymour!” is the frequent exclamation of Democrats even in the City of New York—a locality where a distin- guished member of that party once ex- pressed a willmgness to vote even for the Devil himself. Moreover, yoked in fellowship with the chief Copperhead of the East is a rene- gade Republican of the West, who has been “ gloriously drunk” more times than he received votes on his unanimous nom- Ination. The Tammany platform and nomina- tions, taken together, mean, if not the dis- solution, yet the division of the Demo- sratic party. That well-knit organization May not go to pieces; but it cannot re- main whole. Its fate is decreed. At the Jormation of the Republican party, the dld Democracy was sifted, and its better elements became Republican. At the breaking out of the war, it was sifted ygain, and lent its best men to the )oyal opposition. Since the adjournment ofthe Tammany Convention, that party has been sifting itself a third time; and its worthiest hearts are indignantly refusing to be accomplices in a policy which, hay- ing in 1864 declared the war a “ failure,” in 1868 declares reconstruction “ yoid.” What will become of those discontented Democrats who have hitherto been loth to leave their party, but are now unwilling }o revolutionize their country ? The Republican platform—which is not advanced enough to please the Radicals— falling far short of representing our own political views—is just about adapted to that wing of the Democratic party which flesired the nomination of Chase. All such voters will mow rally gradually and unos- ‘entatiously under the banner of Gen. rant. Of course, they will be welcome. But there will, nevertheless, be a danger to the Republican party from this accession. Republican campaign managers will be tempted to lower the tone of Republican pppeal to a level of Democratic applause. God forbid that this should be done! We Bre never fearful that the Republican party will lose its voters, or that it ‘will slacken its efforts, but only that it will weaken its principles. That great party—which could be morally greater Without belay numragically less—is alwovr answer toa plea for Pendleton. Accord- ingly, like the two nations that wrestled within the womb of Rachel, these two factions, during all the spring, secretly throttled each other while the Convention was yet in embryo. Chase—who was not then expected to be the betrayer of one party and the be- trayed of another—had not been named. The short and melancholy chapter of his aberration, suicide, and sepulture was a piece of subsequent history. Seymour, who had been looked upon as a candidate, had, nevertheless, months ago, been commanded by his physician to refrain from the excitements of a political canvass. With no disposition to speak ungenerously of any man’s infirmity, we think iv gever- theless due to the public to state that Sey- mour is not without painful apprehensions

ofa stealthily approaching insanity, which is creeping like a shadow into his brain: a calamity from which we sincerely hope he may be spared—for his worst political ene- my could not wish such an affliction to be- fallhim. It was on account of these appre- hensions that, months ago, he published a letter declining to be a candidate. Then again, just before the Convention assem- bled (these forebodings still in his mind), he stated to the New York delegation, in positive and peremptory words, that his name must not be presented. He had, moreover, some time before, informed Pendleton that, while he would not be his supporter, he would not be his rival; and it was to this pledge to which Seymour referred when he said, in one of his speeches in the Convention, that he could not “in honor” be a candidate. Hendricks had been somewhat different- ly, but not less strongly, pledged to Pen- delton by the fact that the same conven- tion which nominated him for governor of Indiana nominated also the delegates to the Tammany Hall Convention, and in- structed these delegates to go for Pendle- ton. This was, of course, supposed to bind Hendricks, like a prize-fighter, to keep the peace; and particularly to pre- vent his appearing in the ring against Pendleton. In view of this compact, and of its rupture, there is an angry, teeth- gnashing multitude of Western men who will never forgive Hendricks for defeating Pendleton in the Convention. The votes given for Andrew Johnson were merely a sop to Cerberus. Hancock, whose figures rose gradually from 33 to 135, received so many of these votes from delegates who meant to take zood care not to give him the nomination that the “ Game Cock of the Army,” after a good deal of premature crowing, was at last left in the drooping plight of a fowl caught in a shower. Chase—who, meanwhile, was on every man’s tongue, but in no man’s heart—de- veloped very little support outside of three delegations—New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. There was an outside pressure for him—some claquers in the galleries; but he had almost no strength, except this mere strength of noise. He flew into and flew out of Tammany Hall like that cuckoo which Wordsworth de- clared to be not a substantial bird, but only “a wandering voice.” Nor can one help inquiring in what groves will he hereafter build ? with what choirs sing? and of what fountains drink ? On the nineteenth ballot, which was the first after Pendleton was withdrawn, Han- cock received 135 and Hendricks 107 votes. The Ohio delegation (Pendleton’s body-guard) then rose to their pitch of wrath against Hendricks, and determined to give him a death-blow. But there was a lion in the way. The problem was how to upset Hendricks without setting up Hancock. The Peace Democracy dis- dained a War candidate. Besides, there was no serious intention, even among the War delegates, to nominate one of Grant’s subalterns to run azainst the chief. It wag at this tuncture that Olio, bethinking

form asthe South. Let the Republicans |

herself of Seymour, suddenly nominated him willy nilly, forced New York into seconding the nomination, released him from his obligation to Pendleton, gave him the support of all the Pendleton dclegates, and carried him by a rush over the fallen body of Hancock, over the pul- verized bones of Hendricks, and over the grease-spot of four votes for Chase. This piece of strategy was the work of Gen. McCook, of Ohio, and was executed with dash, brilliancy, and success. It left Pen- dleton, notwithstanding his seeming de- feat, the chief conqueror in the Conven- tion: for, as the result stands, Pendleton dictated the platform, Pendleton defeated all his rivals, Pendleton created the suc- cessful nominee, Pendleton put the East- ern Democracy under bonds to do him a good turn in the future, and Pen- dleton has, therefore, made it the right and duty. of the West to name him, and of the East to. support him, as the candidate of 1872. Such is the true history and philosophy of the Tammany nomination for the pres- idency—a nomination which Seymour's friends were forbidden to ask for—a nom- ination which Seymour did not dare to desire for fear of setting him crazy—a nomination which has fallen like snow in harvest to chill the zeal of the Democratic party—a nomination which makes the triumph of the Republican party a fore- gone conclusion. Nevertheless, it must be said, in justice to Horatio Seymour, that the priests who minister at the altar of Tammany, in singling outa victim for their sacrifice, chose from among the sacred bulls one who, having been long pampered, is now sleck and comely, and who may be reason- ably expected to suffer with dignity and die with grace se SLE “HE LOSBY.

«HE newspaper reporters were once wit- tily entitled the Fourth Estate of the Realm, in England; and they were not loth to accept the same designation here. But they have been superseded, in this country at least, by an even more power- ful co-ordinate, of late years. It were a curious inquiry to ascertain the small we- ginning and gradual growth of we mighty mischief which has made the lob- bies of our national and state capitol, more potent than the constitutional cham- bers themselves, to which they lead. But, whatever its origin, no one now denies the existence or the malign influence of the Lobby. As Burke said of another cor- rupt influence, “ it has increased, is in- creasing, and ought to be diminished.” How it isin this state andin Peunsylvania everybody knows; and, if the Springfield Republican is to be believed, the lobby took triumphaus possession even of the General Court of old Massachusetts, this last session. The question is, how this cleaving mischief, thus increased and in- creasing, can be diminished. There is but one way in which this can be done. This we indicated in our col- umns a short time since. It is the substi- THHKH INDEPENDENT. a

or Longfellow to “ sustain a thesis” before them ! It is curious to observe that the Nation, true to itself, sees no diffleulty in this self- appointed censorship, except perhaps that the dozen gentlemen may be weakly in- dulgent in their high awards, and not put the philosophers and poets through their paces with sufficient severity. It seems the habitual theory of that stern authority that nothing is needed for a judical tri- bunal but severity and a wig. Whether there be brains beneath the wig is of no importance. Whereas, the general com- plaint of literary men as to the editorial dicta of the Nation is, not that they are severe, but that they are crude and juve- nile. Every capable man likes criticism ; but it must be the criticism of his peers. And it is here, not in undue severity or mildness, that we foresee danger for the new Academy. There are not yet in this nation a_suffi- cient number of thoroughly-trained literary men to constitute an academy; just as there are not enough to carry on a critical journal. There is the root of the difficulty. The journals have no weight in criticism ; not because our people are impatient of authority, but because there is no au- thority. The Nation may command our respect when it reproves Timothy Tit- comb; but, behold! in the next column it announces Henry James, Jr., as the com- ing man; and, for aught we know, Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., is to have his apotheosis next week. Who cares for the Worth American, when its critical pages are given over to freshmen in literature, “hazing” other freshmen? Who can prize the verdict of the Atlantic, which successively an- nounced “ Herman” and “ Miss Ravenel’s Conversion” as the Great American Novel? Now, if an academy could be created by mere effort of will to remedy these evils, it would be very pleasant. But it is not soeisy. We may need an institution to look after the literary men; but it presup- poses the literary men to look after the in- titution. To create such a tribunal needs time, patience, and perhaps a little hu- mility. To organize a new socicty, with power to give honorary degrees, is simply like founding a new college. The more degree-shops, the cheaper the degrees. The weight of such an enterprise depends upon the individual reputation of the men behind it. Science must judge science ; literature, literature. Men not competent to judge can no more obtain authority by organizing themselves into a National Academy than could the nine proverbial tailors of London by heading their mani- festo ‘“‘ We, the people of England.”

A NEWSPAPER ARTICLF A Goon article for @ newspaper 13 a thing of its own kind, not so easily pro- duced as perhaps many imagine. It de- mands art and skill. Whatis it in some of its leading qualities? First of all, it has a good title—short, terse, and eminently suggestive. In this respect it is well advertised. Whether an tution o1 a higher class of men in the legislative halls of the nation and the state article will be read or not depends very much upon its title. One can generally make a tolerably fair guess at its charac- than the average or ~iose that now find their way into them. As we said in that article, such men can be had. if thev can be spared the ignominious ana numilia- r ting processes by which ony, as a reucial thing, they can now approach the mgh places of power. It is not true tna the best men in the community shrink from the public service and refuse to do their just share of it. They only shrink from the ignoble companionships and degrad- ing indirections to which they must sub- mit as the price of admission to it, and the dirty work which is required of them when admitted, as part of the considera- tion of their nomination. Public life is ajust object of an honorable ambition, and one which is desired vy able and honorable men as warmly pow as ever it was.

Now, tu evtfy electoral district, whether for venatot, asseravlyman, or member of Congress. there ar good store sf men whom the electors know to be as impos- sible to be dishonestly approached as John Jay, or James sent, or Caleb Strong, or Josiah Quincy, or John Sergeant, or Hor- ace Binney. There is no lack among these of men of talent, of knowledge of ter, even before reading it, by simply read- ing the title. This is the first thing upon which the eye falls, and the first to make an impression. Hence the title should al- ways be well sciccted. Next to the title comes the idea of the article—mainly one, and but one; and that, too, sufficiently important to give an ample occasion fora few well-written paragraphs. A newspaper article is not a book, with a series of elaborate chapters, or an exhaustive essay; but, rather, a brief monogram for cursory to be read at least once, and perhaps never read again. The writer must make his impression with the first blow, not expecting to get a second chance at the same reader. For this purpose he wants but one positive and centrai jaca, sufficient in itself and sufficiently devel- oped to do the work of the moment in the moment. This idea he should have well in hand when he starts, knowing what he wants to do with it, and not trusting to mere luck and chance as to what he shall write. Itshould also be a living idea— one that can be worked up into a vigorous and impressive article; and one, too, that reading,

law and of business, eminently fitted to make and execute the laws. And such are the men that the majerity of both parties (for we are ready to allow that the rank and file of the Democrats really de- sire honest government, while we are obliged to admit that there is not much to choose between their wire-pullers and our own)—such are the men, we say, whom the majority of alt partics wish to repre- sent them. And none other will be nom- inated and elected when the majority have a fair chance to indicate their preferences. This has been done in Philadelphia, and may be done everywhere. The reign of in- significance would then come to an end; for no man could be nominated who was not sufficiently conspicuous to be gener- ally known in the district he was to repre- sent. And the inhering vice of the caucus system—that rotation in office which main- tains a constant supply of inexperience and incompetence in power—would be cured, besides. For this is apart of the game of small political tricksters, who share the offices, and their direct and indi- rect emoluments, turn and turn about. The great majority of the voters neither expect nor wish for a turn at the public crib. They wish to be well represented and well served; and they would not ex- change a tried, experienced, and faithful servant merely because some one else wanted his place. These are considera- tions which should commend themselves to the thoughtful attention of all good cit- izens, and especially of all Christian men who regard their politics as a part of their religion, but who too often find it very hard to make them go hand in hand.

CRYSTALLIZING TOO SOON. 80 we are to have an Academy of Sci- ence and Letters among us. That is, we of New York; for Boston has long had an American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a body mainly scientific, but into which a stray literary man is now and then induct- ed. The world knows little of the Boston institution, save through the magic letters A.A.8. in the Harvard catalogues. Let us hope that the New York enterprise may be more fortunate. If its projectors have the good sense to attempt only a series of literary clubs— something which shall be, here and else- where, an antidote to the Stock Exchange, and Jerome Park, and the daily newspa- pers—then they may do some good. But if they are haunted by the hope of becom- ing the high court of literary reference in America—the haut jury,as Sainte Beuve defines it—then they are attempting to crystallize our crude literature a great deal too soon. The very names that appear in the pre- liminary meetings of the proposed Acad- emy are enough to illustrate this. Most worthy citizens, doubtless; but how many professedly literary men among them? How many men whose names are known to the reading public, outside of New York? Fancy any dozen of these gentle-

EDITORIAL NOTES, Tue Brooklyn Historical Society has just published its fifth annual report—an in- teresting document, and quite a model in its way. It fitly notices the death of two of its prominent members—Gov. King and Mayor Hall; and we had hoped to see in it some more extended notice of the late Dr. Jobn Barker, one of the most skillful of physi- cians, One of the most laborious of students, and one of the most conscientious of men. The library is rapidly increasing—in fact, more rapidly than the founders of the socicty had ever expected. As the books are con- sulted only within the rooms, and not circu- lated without, there can never be any rivalry between this Institution and the Brooklyn Mercantile Library. We would be glad if the Historical Society would make a special point of furnishing itself with all available materi- als for illustrating the history of art—a de- partment in which the Astor Library of New York is particularly rich. For instance, the Musée Frangais ought to be just as accessible in one city as in the other. The rich men of Brooklyn—and many of them are nobly liberal—cannot render a more public-spirited service to their fellow-citizens than by storing the Long Island Historical Society with the whole world’s published treasures of literature, science, and art. The Rev. Dr. Storrs, the president, gives a constant and daily attention to the affairs of the insti tution—a gratuitous service, for which he deserves the thanks of the community Moreover, the weleome which the inviting rooms, and shelves, and portfolios offer to members and visitors is in no slight degree enhanced by the intelligence and accommo- dating spirit of the librarian, Mr. George Hannah. —We still perceive a disposition among some of the lower sort of Democratic jour- nals to circulate the exploded story of an at- tempt to purchase the vote of Senator Pome- roy for Andrew Jobnson’s acquittal. Of course, this slander was concocted to divide and mitigate the universal odium which had overwhelmingly fallen on the unhappy Sen- ator Ross. But, instead of any purchase- able willingness to acquit Johnson, Senator Pomeroy (a8 they who know him need not be told) would have joyfully given his right arm to purchase the ren- egade’s conviction. Moreover, the very idea of bribing such a man a Samuel C. Pomeroy is as absurd as bribing Horece Greeley or Charles Sumuer. Gen. Butler’s masterly report gives the fabrication its quietus. The letters implicating Senator Pomeroy, and which purported to be in his own handwriting, are proven by Gen. Butler to have been cunning forgeries, and their authors willful perjurers. It is thus seen that Johnson’s ‘pring’? of bravadoes, who undertook the task of bribing senators to vote for his clearance, sought to shicld the rogues who committed the deed by making it appear that honest men had fallen so low as to be parties to it. —The lovers of justice and the baters of cruelty, the world over, will await with in- terest the appearance of the history which Mr. Thomas Hughes is to write of the unsuc- cessful efforts of the ‘‘ Jamaica Committee” to bring Gov. Eyre to justice for bis mani- fold crimes against liberty and law during the disturbances in Jamaica, The extraor- dinary measures resorted to by the Tories to screen the governor will be fully exposed. ° last week to givé the Democratic Convention the benefit of bis advice, and to capital invention, certainly, and one which - cannot fail to be popular.

Heis a splendid man to look upon, but a poor manto lean upon. Ambi- tion lifts some men toward things noble and good; makes them large and generous, Other men’s ambition blurs the sharp lines and distinctions between right and wrong, and leaves them, in the eagerness of over- selfish desires, to become a prey of bad men. I have for years felt that Mr. Chase’s ambt- tion was consuming the better elements of his nature. I have liked Grant from the first. Solid, unpretentious, straightforward, apt to succeed and not spoiled by success, wise in discerning men, skillful in using them, with the rare gift (which Washington had in an eminent degree) of wisdom in getting wisdom from other men’s counsels— I confidently anticipate that, great as his military success has been, he will bereafter be known even more favorably for the wis- dom of his civil administration. The seven- fold humiliations and recantations through Mr. Colfax probably owed his defeat as a candidate for Congress in 1851 tothe fact that he was so far ahead or ¢he public opin- ion of that period; but he nap alnce been fully vindicated. —Some of our readers may remember fhe ease of the Rev.

LITERARY INSTITUTIONS. Mttrerst CoLLEGE.—Commencement July 9th. Dr. Manning delivered the address be- fore the Society of Inquiry on Modern Infi- delity. At the alumni meeting, the new alumni hall was crowded with graduates, and addresses were made by Rev. D. W. Poor, D.D., of Newark, N. J., who was the retiring president of the Alumni Association, and whose address was brimming over with wit and wisdom; by Hon. Whiting Griswold, of 38; Dr. F. D. Huntington, of 39; Prof. Ros- well D. Hitchcock, D.D., of ’80; and Henry Ward Beecher, of ’34. The delay in procur- ing the memorial for the fallen heroes was regretted, and a committee, of which Prof, R. D. Hitchcock is chairman, appointed to procure a mural tablet with suitable inscrip- tions. Prof. Wm. 8. Tyler was invited to prepare a history of the college for the ap- proaching semi-centennial. On Wednesday afternoon, Prof. F. A. March, of Lafayette College, a graduate of Amherst, and valedic- torian of '45, addressed the Phi Beta Kappa Socicty in a scholarlyaddress. Graduates 38. LL. D.—Tudge W. I. Stewart, class of 1833, Logansport, Ind. D.D.—Rev. Mortimer Blake, class of 1835, Taunton, Mass. ; Rev. Enoch F. Burr, author of ‘Ecce Colum,” North Lyme, Conn.; Rev. Samuel C.

—The Sunhas “the best authority” for branding asa falsehood the statement now going the rounds of the Democratic journals to the effect that, in 1861, while yet a colonel of an Illinois regiment, Gen. Grant made a speech in which he said: ‘‘I am a Democrat ; every man in my regiment is a Democrat; and when I shall be convinced that this war has for its object any other than what I have mentioned, or the Government designs using its soldiers to execute the purposes of the Abolitionists, I pledge you my honor asa soldier that I will carry my sword on the other side, and cast my lot with that people.” The General, says the Sun, never made a speech to his regiment at all, and never en- tertained or uttered such sentiments. —Goldwin Smith, itis said, will reside in Providence during his stay in the United States, which is likcly to be prolonged through several years. He is expected to arrive some time next Autumn. His object in coming is the study of American history. The Providence Journal says: ‘‘He will be here as a forcigner, and in no public capacity. He will naturally seck a student’s privacy, and as an invalid may hold himself somewhat in reserve from gencral society. But he can hardly be a stranger anywhere in America. His political principles, his service to the American cause in its dark hour, and his emi- nent scholarship, will win for bim considera- tion and the highest respect.” A Bowpo1in Coiirar.—The address before the Alumni Association by Prof. Packard, being a tribute to the late Prof. Smith.

John O. Fiske, Bath, Me. —John Allen, “The Wickedest Man in New York,’’ has recently pledged his word— indeed, he has signed a bond—that he will forthwith abandon his dance-house business. He has been led to take this course because his little son, Chester, came home from school crying as though his heart would break, because his schoolmates said his father was the wickcdest man in New York. After seeing himself photographed in Puck- ard’s Monthly, he called upon Mr. T. C. Acton for advice ; and our police president advised him, in the most empbatic manner, to get out of the Water-strect den, and to get into more reputable business. We are Happy to learn that Allen has proved, by his apparent penitence, that he is not the “ Wickedest Man in New York’’; and we hope that he has already fulfiiled his promise. —The elder Abolitionists will remember the Rey. W. 8. Plummer, D.D., formerly of Richmond, Va., who was a “star” on the an- niversary platforms in this city thirty yoars ago, and who earned the applause of the cottonized, “lower-law” Christianity of that day by his ribald attacks upon themselves and their cause. He it was who openly coun- tenanced the murdcrous mobs of 1834-5, saying, “If the Abolitioniste will ect the country in a blaze, let them have the first warm- ing at the fire.” It was mect that this man, Organization Perfecte* large and important Conzregatio at Homer, N.

6 The Independent. THE HAUNTED ROOM. BY ALICE ROBBINS. “ SHALL you take the house, Herbert?” The question was asked by a gentle, Gelicate-looking woman, whose anxious eyes were fixed on the face of the man be- fore her with an asking, earnest gaze. “J don’t think I shall, Dotty,” was his quick reply. “ Too expensive, my darling; e thousand dollars a year. Youare disap- pointed,” he added, as her white hand fell from his arm. “0, so much!” was: the reply, in a low, pained tone. “Ihad set my heart upon it.” “Now, I'm very sorry for that. Of course, it’s a beautiful house, and cheap for the size and style—almost new, too. Why, Dotty, you're not crying about it?” “Q, it's no matter—don’t mind me,” she said, in the same low, quiet tones. “I ran’t help being a little foolish about it.

By and by, when I get a few thousands ahead—why, I shan’t mind.” “No, but we shall never see another house so completely to my mind.” Young Rutherford threw back his head and laughed. “T couldn't help it, Dotty dear. ff you could see your rueful face as you said that!” “Ofcourse, you laugh at me—you always Ao,” she retorted, a spark of anger in her poft blue eyes. “ You can always do as | you like ; I must wait your pleasure.” “Now, Dotty, that’s not fair,” he said, }, periously. ‘ You must see that I study your comfort and happiness much more than I do my own. Why, darling, you are the pride and glory of my life; and we have been very happy in this pleasant house. We never feel pinched and anx- Jous here; we have money enough to gpend on our simple pleasures, and to gratify Dol-the-less in her little fairy cra- dle, here. Why should we want to change, and take on care and anxiety ?” “TI don’t sce, Herbert, that a few hun- fired dollars more ought to signify,” re- plied the little woman, toying with her watch-chain, her tearful eyes downcast. * And you know I have been so used toa handsome home.” Herbert winced. “The rooms are very much larger than these, Dotty.” “And we have agreat deal too much furniture for this house. I never go into the parlor, and see the beautiful Steinway that U: gave me, without feeling morti- fied. It is absolutely almost as large as the room.” “ New carpets, Dotty ?” “Only for the parlor; andI do think we might have one handsome carpet. You promised me that, you know.”

darkened parlor before her mental vision —that haunted room. Never afterward could she think of it without a shudder ; it was always present, always a warning to her against the pomps and vanities of the world. As time went on, the memory softened, its hargh dreariness melted away, and an angel seemed to fill its gloom witha softened light. Constant communing with the dear one she had lost led her thoughts and affections up to the home he had en- tered. She lived for years, trained their child to blessed womanhood, and then gave herself up to deeds of mercy. Her heart was in heaven; and the haunted room had become to her like the recollec- tion of a bower of beauty.

Floating away from her forehead fair, Sweeping the coffin’s silken sheen, Are the wondrous waves of her sunny hair, With the ice-touched roses clasped be- tween, Many a time, in the winter gone, Have I twined fair flowers in those tresses bright, When the shining braids, from the temples drawn, Her forehead clasped with a crown of light.

The four French windows led upona balcony. The flesign of the chandelier was exquisite; the freshness and beauty of the decorations could not fail to please a man of refined taste. “Ah! but so dear!” he ejaculated, as they entered room after room, to find in each some new and convenient feature. “T suppose I could take it,” he said, “if I Jaw fit to help Lawson.” “In what way ?” “By working nights. But when he made e the offer, I couldn’t think of it, for I felt would be purgatory to spend my evenings anywhere but in your dear com- pany.

It hurt him to the heart to have her acquiesce so readily. Dould te have done so? No; not for all fhe houses and lands in the whole world. The place was taken.

_——-_ WHAT ONE MAN ; 49 DO, BY PROF. WILLIAM 8. TYLER. In the winter of 1828-9 the writer of this article first sct foot in Easthampton, Mass.,on his way to enter Amherst Col- lege. It was then a mere hamlet, one of the very smallest and poorest of all the towns in Hampshire County, A dingy and dismal old “ meeting-house” stood in the center of the unenclosed com- mon, and two or three shops or stores and about as many dwelling-houses clus- tering near it constituted the village. The rest of the township was sparsely peopled with plain and sensible but rather unen- terprising and not overprosperous farmers. Ata little distance from the meefing- house lived the pastor, Rey. Payson Wil- liston, ona farm which was given him as “a settlement,” upon a salary which was originally $200 and never amounted tomuch more than twice that sum. In another part of the same house, or an addition te it, resided Mr. Samuel Williston, who was ‘then just beginning to manufacture, by hand, covered elastic buttons. Yesterday I drove over to Easthampton, to attend the 26th anniversary of Williston Seminary. A little stream that used to run through the back part of that parson- age farm, and seemed hardly large enough to turn a grist-mill, is now lined by three successive factory-villages, through which you drive into town. The old meeting- house on the common has given place to three elegant churches, which, with a fine high sehool,a large hotel, a magnificent town-hall now building, and handsome blocks of stores, enclose three sides of the common; while on the other side four im- | posing edifices, architecturally pleasing and model buildings for the purposes to which they are devoted, constitute the body or the habitation of Williston Semi- nary. The seminary itself is organ- ized with a president and five professors, as they would be called anywhere out of New England, and the institution |would be styled a university. But they modestly call themsclves principals and instrietes > 77 4 ths inatitution a semi- Pep verre ey SYED) OEE ‘ey sere nary, though it combines a frst-t tate sci- entific school or English college with a preparatory school that has no superior even in New England; and its five per- manent instructors or heads of depart- ments, with the assistance of one tutor, and under the direction of a principal, who, being alike accomplished in literature and science, holds the balance evenly between

How little she had dreamed of this! How all her reasoning came echoing back—cold, cruel, heartless, it seemed. O, why did mot her heart break and let her weary spirit fly to meet him, to beg him to for- give her?

bers have begun there the new Christian life, and devoted themselves to the service of the “better country” and the Divine Master. The factories, the seminary, the beauti- ful villages that have grown up around them, the railroad that connects them with the great thoroughfares north, south, east and west, and the marvelously increased wealth and prosperity of the whole town, are all the creation of the genius, wisdom, and enterprise of one man; and that man is the once poor son of that poor New England pastor. And the beauty of it all is not so much the money he has made as the use to which he has put it. The buttons, the rubber fabrics, the cotton yarn and thread etc., etc., as fast as they are manufactured and turned into gold, are put into the seminary, where they are transmuted into the durable riches of the mind and heart, the lasting treasures of a good educa- tion. Nearly a quarter of a million has this prince of manufacturers and prince of educators already given to the seminary that bears his name. And Williston Seminary is only one of many kindred institutions, for both sexes and of various grades, in every section of the country, to which he has contributed, in all, nearly as much more. Yet educa- tion—the higher mental, moral, and Chris- tian education—though perhaps the chief, isonly oneamong the objects of charity and benevolence to which he is constantly distributing his large income. While, then, I can most cordially and conscien- tiously recommend Williston Seminary to young men as a classical and English school which has no superior, let me in- vite men of all ages, and especially our rich men, to go to Easthampton, and learn what one man can do, not only for him- self and his native town, but for education and religion; learn to be their own ex- ecutors ; learn the luxury of doing good in their lifetime, while they can direct the Ways and means and enjoy the result; learn to lay foundations broad and deep for usefulness in coming generations till the end of time; learn, in short, that great lesson, especially for our times, tle TRUE USE OF MONEY.

Book Cable. —_———— VARIATION PRODUCED BY DOMESTICATION.* Tue present work is a part of the filling up of the plan proposed by the author in his “ Origin of Species,” published in 1859. In that volume he propounded the ques- tion, What is the origin of those dis- tinctions in the animal and vegetable king- dom which naturalists recognize as the lines between species, orders, classes, or even kingdoms? But two answers are possible. Either a divine intelligence has contrived and created these various species, or they have originated through natural development and differentiation from lower and yet lower forms, The former doctrine has been, till very lately, almost exclusively held. The latter, which had been crudely presented by both French and English authors, including Mr. Darwin’s father, has been most ably defended and com- mended to the brotherhood of science in “ The Origin of Species.” Mr. Darwin believes that the boundaries between species are but vague. A species is not a primordially distinct idea from a variety, descended from other primal an- cestors than any other species, but is only the variety, which in the lapse of time has | species, | by the pollen of a distinct species than by |species may be but has not yet been achieved by the most careful experiment. We might ask again for the intermediate links which ought to be still forming between wild species, and which ought to exist in a fossil state. This demand also has not yet been satisfied. Neither of these evident proofs does our author attempt in these volumes. He at- tempts, rather, an indirect proof, He en- deayvors to show that the objections against his theory are met by the cases of domes- ticated animals and plants. He has col- lected a marvelous thesaurus of informa- tion, alike interesting to the breeder, the florist, the general farmer, the naturalist, and the theorist. His setting forth of this vast array of curious fact seems impartial enough; except that it does not seem to occur to him, positivist as he is, that the creation theory is scientifically admissible even as a hypothesis. Of course, the real interest of the work centers on those points which tell for or against his theory, and we must admit that he has done not a little to answer the objection drawn from the as- sumed infertility of crosses between species. He attempts to prove that our varicties of dogs, abundantly fertile when crossed, are hybrids from several wild species ; and that they cross readily with wolves, jackals, and foxes, producing equally fertile progeny. The domestic cat has formed fertile crosses with the Wild-cats of Egypt, South Africa, India, Hungary, Scotland, and America. Pigs belong to at least two species, and are mutually fertile. European cattle are supposed to be descended from three wild all distinct from the zebu, or humped cattle of India, yet fertile with it. The same facts are notoriously true of plants. In cultivation, the species of roses, amaryllids, have become inextricably confused. In- deed, in some cases, as in that of the pas- sion flower, the ovules are better fertilized that of the same or another individual of the same species. The whole argument in favor of original distinction between species drawn from assumed mutual infer- tility he mects by denying the facts in part, and then in so far as they cannot be denied by asserting that any changed conditions affect the reproductive organs much sooner than any other, so that many animals besides the elephant are rendered sterile even by confinement or partial do- mestication. His statements may be partially met by showing that naturalists have been too free in making minor differences specific. We may assert that Sus Indica and S. scrofa are but varieties of the pig; that the zebu is not specifically distinct from Bos pr/m:- genius or B. longifrons ; and that the dinzo, which crosses so readily with the dog, is tulips, verbenas, and gladioli | ast. ee = Tur Moprry Rerreseytations oF THE Lire or Jesus Four Discourses, delivered be- fore the Evangelical Union at Hanover, Germany. By Dr. Geruarp Unuory, First Preacher to the Court. Translated from the Third German Edition by Cras. E. GRINNELL. Boston: Little, Brown & Co. By the modern representations of the life of Jesus, Dr. Uhlhorn means those of the Rationalistic School. Infidelity, forced back from her outworks, changes her tactics and continues the battle from her new position, She disowns Voltaire’s blasphemous inscription, “Down with the wretch,” and patronizingly commends Jesus, though she disdains to worship at the feet of Christ, Strauss’s mythical theory has died before its author, and his attempt to resuscitate it in his new Life of Jesus has proved a fuil- ure, The scholastic efforts of Baur and the Tiibingen School to represent Christ as the personification of a dogma have proved equally unsuccessful. And now the philosophy which denies the incarna- tion, the atonement, the miracles, and the inspiration of the Scriptures attempts to construct a life of Christ which shall ex- plain the phenomenon of Christianity by attributing it to natural causes. In his first two discourses Dr. Uhjhorn graphic- ally portrays and critically examines the workmanship of the two chief architects of the so-called Rational Christianity. To Renan he does full justice. Renan’s work is a fiction founded on fact. He aims to paint an attractive picture rather than to relate a true history. Whatever of the Gospel narratives serves his purpose he unhesitatingly accepts. Whatever threat- ens to mar his work of art he uncere-

It may to Mr, Darwin seem hardly fair to be aske a to argue against those who withdraw species as soon as they are proved to act like yari- eties; but itis certain that naturalists have been far too ready to elevate varieties into specics. There is no good reason why our three white violets—V. blanda, | V. primulaefolia, and V. lanceolata—should | make more than a single species; nor why the Eastern and Western yarietics of Evythronium, or the white and the yellow dwarf Cypripedium, should be separated. Yet it seems probable, on the other hand, that we must yield the point that true mutually fertile. The Angora cat is specifically distinct from the wild-cat of Paraguay; and so are many roses hybrids from undoubted species. This introduces Mr. Darwin’s second

theory in its perfection implies that the | first vitalized monads—parents of all sub- sequent forms—were originated by the powers of Nature; in fact, by what is called spontaneous generation. The great addition which Mr. Darwin has made to this theory has been his law of Natural Selection, by which he attempts to ex- plain this gradual development of new species. He asserts that in the great struggle for existence those spontaneous variations which make animals or plants possessing them better adapted for their habitat will on the average impress themselves most certainly on the next generation, and will be most likely to sur- vive unfavorable seasons or catastrophes. In astate of nature the stoutest bulls will rule the-herd,to the exclusion of the feebler; and, in times of drought or danger, some slight variation—a longer neck that can browse on the branches, teeth more fully developed, a foot broader or just percepti- bly webbed, or a color that protects from pursuit—will be sure to secure what Her- bert Spencer calls “the Survival of the Fittest.” These peculiarities may in time so accumulate as to account for all the differences between living organisms. The theory is a bold one, and has been met by argument, by ridicule, and by in- vesting it with the odium theologicum, With the two latter we have little con- cern. The notion that Shakespeare de- scended from the gorilla, the lemur, the kangaroo, the salamander, the oyster, the fungus, the primal gas, may be so put as to be not alittle ludicrous; but the wit amounts to little except as based on argu- ment. The charge of impiety has too often been made against theories, astro- nomical and geological, which we have been foreed afterward to admit; and we prefer to seek for scientific truth rather in Nature than in Revelation. Especially, so long as the Bible does not assert that spe- cies were created distinct by an authorita- tive fiat, we may be allowed to hear, with no fluttering of our theologic nerves, the speculations of zodlogists. The very words of the first chapter of Genesis represent no species as introduced full-fledged upon the earth. God does not immediately create plants or animals, but during the long spaces of the several “days.” He does it mediately. The earth brings forth grass, and herb, and tree; the waters pro-

| the beast j === a duce the moving creature and the fowl; and the earth brings forth the cattle and nd then man, formed also from the dust of the earth, is made in the like- ness of God by the inbreathing of a living sow. The plain text of Scripture needs no torturing to harmonize with Darwin- ism. The only valid point of religious opposition to the theory is found in that devout thought of God who seems to our finite minds more immediately present when touching Nature with miraculous in- tervention than when governing it by gen- eral laws. When we find that “ the voice of God,” which “makes the hinds to calve,” is uttered in obedience to elec- trical laws, we may feel a little religiously sentimental disappointment ; but God is actually no further from us if his special intervention be disproved. Two methods of direct proof could be adduced to prove the Darwinian theory. As Nature’s powers of origination are as great now as ever, we might, on this theory, ask to see organic life developed without parentage from inorganic matter. at has been announced again and again, Tax VARIATION OF ANIMALS AND PLanrs UxpgR Do- mastication. By Cuanes Darwihk, M.A., F.R.S., etc. Authorised Edition, with @ Preface by Professor Asa great point in defense of his theory—that some species of domesticited annimals, | and notably the pigeon, have been so va- tied by domestication that its varieties, all demonstrably descended from the wild wood-pigeon, show more important marks of difference than many admitted species oreven genera. The author devotes two long chapters to the pigeon, describing anatomically the differences between pou- ters, carriers, fantails, tumblers, and trumpeters. The variation is wonderfal, and goes far to add plausibility to the ides that natural, as well as artificial, selection may do much to modify species. Still the admitted fact that a bird like columba vivida can be thus far varied by long-con- tinued intentional selection is fur from proving that, by changing its conditions and making it live on the water, it could develop the webbed feet of the duck, or the legs of a crane; still less from proving that changed circumstances could so far abbreviate its period of incubation that it should actually become viviparous, while its feathers changed into hair, and its wings into legs, and its whole structure became mammal. Still further are all these in- vestigations from showing how it can be that Nature, developing in innumerable directions from innumer- | destructive criticism does not deny.

able primal germs, should at Jast diverge into but four grand classes of ani- mals, bearing their respective formative | types, and into corresponding well-de- fined classes in the vegetable kingdom, or how entirely new organs could be orig- inated by development. Such facts seem to us utterly inexplicable on the Darwin- ian theory. But we wait with eager curi- osity the further work promised by our author on Variations in a State of Nature, in which he promises an answer to these objections. The chapter to which the author attach- es the most importance is that on “ Pan- genesis.” This name he gives to a pro- visional hypothesis, intended to explain the strange phenomena connected with generation, and the reversion of individu- als more or less completely to the types of more or less distant progenitors. A cross between a white silk fowl and a black game-cock produced by reversion a gorgeous red cock, strongly resembling the wild gallus bankiva, from which fowls are sprung, although neither parent had for many generations had a single red feather. Mr. Darwin’s theory is that each cell in each plant or animal produces jn- numerable gemmules, infinitely minute, and permeating the system; that these geimmules, representing absolutely every haAe- part of the hn “ayy PASS trom either parent through ovum or ovule or pollen or spermatozoon to the offspring, and are capable of self-multiplication, and by their peculiar affinities attach to the right points and develop themselves into cells and organs, or remain, still multiplying, but undeveloped, for numberless genera- tions, till some peculiar circumstances give them the advantage over the more numerous gemmules derived from more immediate parents. This hypothesis Mr. Darwin develops with great ingenuity ; yet he fails to make it sufficiently plausible to raise it to the dignity of a theory. These volumes, 80 wealthy in curious fact, so instructive even apart from the theories which they are intended primarily to subserve, we commend to the study of American naturalists and agricultural readers. It is their value to the latter class which has induced their enterprising publishers to issue them in this country. This they have done in a very neat though not expensive form. Prof. Gray’s preface is supply commendatory. He is in this country the leading defender, as his col- league, Prof. Agassiz, is the leading oppo-

signs of the theory of development The Jesus whem he depicts begins life as a fanatic, and ends it the penalty of his blasphemous assump- tion, since he is no Son of God, but only the son of a carpenter. To Schenkel our author does less justice. Schenkel’s at- tempt to explain the miracles by refer- ence to natural laws and moral influences is indeed quite irrational and sometimes absurd. Thus, for example, Christ’s cure of the demoniac in the synagogue at Ca- pernaum is reduced tothe mere tempo- rary quieting of an insane person. And the leper, we are assured, was substan- tially cured before he came to Christ. No Christian believer can accept a portraiture of Jesus which denies that the truly his- torical can embrace the supernatural. But Schenkel’s representation of the grad- ual development of the doctrine of Jesus, and his portraiture of the increasing con- flict which ended in his death as one be- tween pure piety and an_ ecclesiastical hicrarchy, may be accepted by the Church with thankfulness. Nor does it necessarily follow that this development in Christ’s outer life mirrored one in his own con- sciousness, He was the Messiah at his baptism; he was not ready to proclaim himself such till he reached the cross. In the remaining discourses Dr. Uhl- horn discusses the authenticity of the Gospels and the evidences of the miracles. Inthe former he presents in a popular form the results of recent scholarship.

We doubt the accuracy of his definition of a miracle; and we think the subject has been more ably presented, and in form quite as popular, by Dr. Bushnell, in his “ Nature and the Supernatural.” On the whole, it may be said that he who desires to find a statement in brief com- pass of some of the modern attempts to interpret away the Gospel of Christ, and in popular form their refutation, will wel- come this little volume, which does this work in the main admirably. At the saine time, we are of the opinion that the best answer to a false portraiture of Christ by a Rationalistic philosophy would be a true portraiture drawn by Christian faith and love. Hints ON THE ForMATION oF ReELIGiovs Opinions. By Rev. Ray Pavmer, D. D. New York: A. D. F. Randolph. Dr. Palmer’s hymns have made him too dear to the hearts of Christians to need any introduction from us; and the fact that this isa reprint of areprintis a proof of the value of the book. In this age, when infidelity sends her couriers with enticing words into almost every household, such a book as this should be well circulated, that our young men and women may be armed for the contest. L. Prana & Co., Boston, have added to their list of American Chromos Whit- tier’s ‘‘Barefoot Boy,” after Eastman Johnson. It is a charming picture. John- son’s brush gave us the boy so clearly de- scribed by the poet: ‘* Blessings on thee, little man, Barefoot boy, with cheeks of tan? With thy turned-up pantaloons, Andthy merry whistled tunes; With thy red lip, redder still Kissed by strawberries on the hill; With the sunshine on thy face, Through thy torn brim’'s jaunty grace ; From my heart I give thee joy— I was once a barefoot boy! Prince thou art—the grown-up man Only is republican, Let the million-dollared ride! Barefoot, trudging at his side, Thou hast more than he can buy In the reach of ear and eye— Outward sunshine, inward joy: Blessings on thee, barefoot boy!" The chromo is scarcely, if at all, inferior to Jobnson’s original; and wherever it goes it will not only give pleasure, but convey auseful lesson. Mr. Whittier pro- nounces it a “charming illustration” of his poem, and “every way satisfactory as a work of art”; and the commendation of the painter is as hearty as that of the poet. WE have received two numbers of Col- lege Days, a monthly magazine, issued by the students of Ripon College, Wis. The solid articles show a scholarly, and manly, and, we will add, in their fair pro- portion, a true womanly class of stu- dents. The editing and the miscellaneous notes prove our young friend, Mr. Duffie, to be cut out for an editor; while the nu- merous advertisements show that the publisher, Mr. J. H. Tracy, knows how the business is done. Success to it. Ce eee PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. BOOKS.

JULY 16, 1868.1 he Farmers’ Colum, THOUGHTS FOR PRACTICAL FARMERS. PLANT TreEs.—The man lives not in vain who plants trees; who plants them everywhere, in the street, around his dwell- fing, up and down the fields, along the brooks, on the hills. While living, they are in their life, leaf, blossom, and shade as near, and dear, and welcome to him as kindred or friends ; si- lent but beautiful companions, the graceful droop or waving of their branches is a continual greeting and blessing. A child brought up in familiarity with the beauty oftrees, either graceful or grand, and taught to love them and care tenderly for them, has learned something beside which name, reputation, dress, or gold ean bear no comparison, and give nota tithe of the pleasure. How dearly the old man loves to sit in the arm-chair, under the trees he planted years ago, when he was young. Th cy have grown grand, and beat rtiful, and strong. What a contrast to his weak- ness and bent form, and yet what a com- fort they give! But when he has gone, and life has ro 1ed and died away as rich as the fall f the brilliant leaf, how precious the name ond manent left behind. Existence may be lost to sight, but the trees carry his ame on forever to distant geners ations. 0 og h an ene can ask no better epitaph 1an is 4 HE PLANTED A TREP, AND THEY Taat Reevixep RISE Nits SH#apow UP AND CALL HIM | BLESSED. ALSIKE CLOvER.—A subscriber o* IME INDEPENDENT asks about Alsike Clorer— how to plant, when and where, how much to the acre, the cost, and where to getit. We reply : TI : | strect New York City year-old seedlings some asparagus, of course not very strong, has been cut the following Spring ; and, where two-year-old roots have been used, a full crop has been cut in the same time—a result no one ex- pects from Spring planting. In this re- gion the plan has taken strong hold of gardeners, and asparagus planting is like- ly to take rank at once with strawberry as a regular August operation. It will, of course, be best in such cases to cover ‘the beds, after they have once become frozen, with some kind of litter; not to keep out frost, but to prevent thawing and freezing until the natural Spring season comes, or the plants may be thrown out.” ToMATOES A REMEDY AGAINST Borers. —A gentleman in Quincy, Mass., writes to an agricultural exchange: “Mr, H. J. Foster states that he had an apple-orchard which was badly infested by the borer. Some three years ago, while removing borers from his trees, he noticed that, in- variably, there were no signs of their work to be discovered whenever a chance plant of the tomato had sprung up from seed in the soil or from manure. Acting on this discovery, he planted tomatoes ex- tensively about nis apple trees and quince bushes, and found them a complete. pro- tection against the assaults of the borer, as the beetle, which deposits the egg of this pest, will not go near a plant ef this character.” CE T THE BES sT.

AOOUMULATED OAPITAL OVER $1 0, 000, 000, re DIVISIBLE SURPLUS, JANUARY 1, 1868, $1,642,425 69, —_— ae ont During the twenty-three years of its exist ence this Company has issued policies upom the lives of more than FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, * and has paid in losses $5,000,000 to the faml- lies and representatives of those who have deceased while members of the Compans. Special care in the selection of tts risks, otrect economy, and a safe and zudicious investment of tts funds, emphatically characterize its manage: ment, Policies are issued in all the forms which experience has indicated as favorable to the assured, and can be made payable at a speci- fied time during the lifetime of the assured, orat death. Premiums may be paid annue ally, semi-annually, or quarterly. THE PROGRESS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS will be seen in the following statement:

Ten-Year fian-Ferfsiture Plan. The system popularly termed ‘‘The None Forfeiture Plan” was originated and first presented to the public by this Company, im their well-knowo “Ken-Wear Nome Forfciture Policy,” in the year 1860; andits perfect adaptation to the wants of every cless in the community, obviating every reasong jection to Life Insurance,

able ot is shown from tbe fact that every other American Company hes been gy in deference to public opinion, to adopt it, al- though in many eases it is done in ce a way as considerably te impair its value. I6 has received the unqualified approval of the best business men of the land, large numbers of whom have taken out policies under it simply as an investment. By the Table on which this class of Policies is based a person incurs no risk in taking outa policy. Insuring to-day for $10,000, if he should die to-morrow, the $10,000 im- mediately becomes a claim; and, if he shail live ten years, and make ten annual payments, his policy will be paid for and his dividends still continue, making HIS LIFE POLICY A Source of Income to Him while Livine. Full particulars will be given in our pube lications, which can be obtained at the Home Office, or at any of the Agencies. Among the advantages offered by the NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY are: Ist.

The records of this Come pany bear many acknowledgments from widows and relatives of deceased members of its liberality and fairness in settlement of all such losses. There being nostockholders in the Company to share its profits, interests adverse to policy-holders cannot 4 arise, the Trustees siinply occupying the pe sition of arbitrators between the members, with no ‘adnate to take from one and
