NOTES AND CLIPPINGS.

FECHTER has gone to England to secure "talent" for his theater in New York.

JOSEPH PARKER, a veteran actor and scenic artist, died in Baltimore last night.

WACHTEI/, the new tenor, said 'To be sixty, very little over, forty. He owns a fine estate near Weisbaden, on the Rhine, and affects horses..

THE most contemptible thing the Dem ocratic journals have been gnilty of for some time past, is their levity over the illness of Mr. Jesse R. Grant, the President's father.

"WELLING'S Life of James Buchanan'' is about complete, and will soon be ip the printer's hands. Mr. Welling was editor of the "National Intelligencer" for some years before its light was extinguished.

THE Connecticut Democracy hold their State Convention at New Haven on the 6th of February, at which time it is proposed to elect delegates to the Democratic National Convention, "if desirable"—in the significant language of the call.

SPEAKING of the dimensions of the projected jubilee building in Boston, the New "York "Post" says that a dozen twenty-inch columbiads will seem like a toy battery of pop-guns in it, and an earthquake will only pass for a solo on the kettle-drum.

THE petition of the clergy of Alsace to the Emperor of Germany, "boiled down," amounted to this: Give us unlimited control of church and school, and promote our interests in every way, and we shall •refrain from telliog our parishioners to hope for re incorporation with France.

Old Billy is able to grapple with this kind of modesty.

AN impulse toward reform in existing methods of legal instruction, is now exciting attention among the London Bar. A joint Committee of the Inns of Court has recommended that after the 31st of December, "no student shall be called to the Bar unless he has passed an examination, and obtained a certificate of fitness from the Council of Legal Education." If this recommendation prevails, the old, pleasant fashion of eating one's way to the Bar will be sadly interfered with Probably in England, as well as in America, no harm would result from raiding the standard of legal qualification. Poor lawyers make poor judges.

LONDON papers of the day after the late solar eclipie, arrived by the last steamer, and contain some further in formation of the success of the expedition. In all places of observation the weather was unusually fine, clouds and mist lifting at the proper moment and giving spectroscopes and cameras a clear field. No scientific details will be possible until the return of the party, but the greatest hopes are excited of a success entirely unprecedented. A thorough Rtudy and comparison of the corona sketches and and polarizations promise to result in a pretty accurate knowledge of the sun's atmosphere and the source of its unfailing heat.

REV.Tiros. W. IIIGGIMSON, of Massa chusetts, a Colonel of colored troops dur ing the war, a radical in religion and politico, and a man of letters, is not a victim of extravagant expectations regard to civil service reform. In an article in the "Independent," he protests against placing reliance on "competitive examinations," wisely insisting that they should be taken only as an experiment, not proclaimed as a panacea, and demands to know who shall guard the guardians, saying that there is no reason why a work which is necessarily corrupt ing if done by a President or Congressman, will lose all elements of corruption when done by something called a Board

THE New York "Times" explains how the doctrine, popular among a ceitain class of people, that drunkennesss is a palliation of every crime, has lately had a notable confirmation in Switzerland. At Berne, not long since, a man named Sig ismund Lafour was brought to trial for murdering his wife. The prisoner had been peaceable and industrious, until his wife became bedridden, when he toofc to drink, and soon sank into a confirmed drunkard. Then he grew morose and cruel, frequently beating the woman, un til at last she succumbed under his violence. On the trial no defense was offered, except a certificate from the Communal Council of his district, that the prisoner "had always fulfilled his religious duties in an exemplary manner, but that he had a weakness for drinking brandy, which caused him occasionally to beat his wife rather more severely than a good husband should." On this showing, the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty," rebuking the prisoner's "weakness" only by condemning him to pay costs. So that hereafter any man in Berne who wants to get rid of his wife cheaply and expeditiously, has only to acquire a reputation for piety and a weakness for brandy, and then kill her with entire impunity.

THE "Home Journal" says: "Mr. John W. Harper, eldest son of John Harper, of the firm of Harper Brothers, has built and funiished, jntirel at hie own expense, a Methodist (Aurch at Port Washington, L. I. The Harpers are strong Methodists, while tfce other great publishing hoanea of New York, the Appletons, are sturdy Episcopalians.''

REAL ESTATE matters in Texas, in not a few instances, have got rather mixed up on account of a recent judicial decision. An administrator daring the war obtained an order from the probate court to sell the assets of his intestate for caeh. Under such orders he made sales for Confederate money, which he paid to such creditors as would receive it. After the war closed the probate court permitted him to resign his trust and settle his accounts on Confederate money returns and voucher*. The eupreme court decided that the probate court's order and judgment was not only erroneous, but null and void, and that the administrator would be held liable in legal tender for the value of the property sold, and that the creditors could revive their claims, so paid in Confederate money, against the estate.

Fun at Fanerals.

Whatever there may be in the profession of journalism that dulls the finer sensibilities we do not propose in this article to inquire, but simply to deal with the fact. From the long homilies hitherto read us by our Jefferson street neighbor, we had inferred that if there ever was an avocation superlatively calculated to polish the keen edge of the inner man, journalism was just that avocation, and nothing else. And yet in the very next issue ot that oracle we find, if not exactly the following brevity, 8omething so very like it that the two might have been cut by the same pattern: "He jived in Chicago,, and was named Hinckley. He was bitten about two years ago. He frothed at the mouth and barked like a dog. He died."

Now we don't intend to take lively imaginations to task for the indulgence of the half humorous, half contemptuous style when proper occcasion offers. The pointed paragraph, the petulant pop at Puritanism, the terse touching-up of the viciouB, are all very well in their placeYet we never could laugh at a funeral, wboevei may furnish the corpse. A newspaper writer should not so far lose his individuality, his personality, as to take leave of his nobler instincts altogether. That a jest at misfortune comes through the coiums of a public paper robs it of no part of its sting in truth, the very fact of its publicity will contribute to, rather than detract from, the pain it may cause its victim, if it should ever meet his eye.

A few days since, a Western journal took occasion to remark that a "Mr. So-and-so wrestled with a saw-buck, and got three of his ribs broken. He won't buck against that animal again soon."

What will that fine old Virginia gen tleman, Mr. Mustard, think of journalistic manners when he reads: "Mr. Mustard, of Virginia, lost all his strength by a fall from a horse."

A farmer is splitting wood the ax glances and ,«uts his little boy's head open. In the very next issue of his home paper he is advised that "he parted his heir in the middle." And yet that same editor exhorts him once a week to "subscribe for your county paper first."

An urchin pieks up what he supposes to be a blue marble, and carelessly puts it in his mouth. It turns out to be a torpedo, explodes, tears bis face to pieces, and blows the top of his head off. The sorrowing parents are consoled by the timely suggestion that "little Willie Waters will not jaw his mother a?ain he had the jaw all taken out of him."

If editors and reporters will just take these matters home to themselves—reflect how agreeable it will be some time to have their own funerals announced in the reckless and rollicking manner they have themselves invented—perhaps they may be all the better for their cogitations. Louisville Ledger.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Indianapolis "Journal," writing from Washington, states some interesting facts concerning the financial management of the government under Grant's administration. Treasurer 8pinneV, during his term of office, has received and disbursed the almost incredible sum of forty thousand millions of dollars, and of this vast sum $70,000 is all that has been lost by defalcations. The private business of the shrewdest men make a more this. During Van Btiren's administration ninety-two out of ninety eight re ceivers of public money were defaulters. Under some Democratic administrations from twenty five to thirty per cent of the public moneys have been lost and stolen, while under Grant less than two per cent, has been lost. Such are the statements made upon the floor of the United States Senate by Senator Wilson, and they can not be questioned. The substi tution of Democratic for Republican rule would inauguiate a carnival of raseality that would amaze the world.

ALREADY the papers of the country— those outspoken and influential tribunes of the people—have given their judgment clearly and unreservedly on the "oneterm" idea, given immediate shape and agency bv Mr. Sumner's proposed amendment. With nearly one voice the entire press sustains the one-term principle, but refuses to have it pressed as a partisan move to aflect any passing candidate This common-sense view of the people, founded in honest feeling, squares with a fundamental principle of elemental law. No general rule is to be framed for the purpose of carrying a special case. Principles must be founded on justice and right, and not on party or personal feeling. This test draws the line between states manship and petty politics, and the generous and upright feeling of the people is but the expression of that reason which is the soul of law.—Phil. Press.

A Dog Story.

A small bull pup and a Newfoundland dog were engaged in a long fight near the Lake-view, New Jersey depot, on the Erie Railway, one day last week. The battle would undoubtedly have ended in a draw had not the little dog pulled his antagonist on the track and held him there until a train came along. The little dog crouched down, and the train went over him without hurting him, while the big dog was ground to susage meat. Affidavits can be produced to prove this assertion from the Erie Railway agent of this station.

A Dlminntlre Infant.

In Danville, III., live a man and wife, named Davidson, who are the parents of a child, now over five weeks old, which weights but two pounds. Its length is seven inches, and its face about the size of a watch crystal, its tiny arms are so slender that a small finger ring can bo •lipped on either of them to the shoulder. This little creature is already making quite a noise in its part of the world, and hundreds have called to see it. The parents are of standard size.

A few days before he left the Presidency forever the Philadelphia "Aurora," a most influential Democratic paper, exclaimed: "If ever a nation was debauched by a man, the American nation was debauched by Washington if ever a nation was deceived by a man, it was deceived by Washington and Thomas Paine, in a public letter addressed to Washington, said: "As to you, sir, treacherous in private friendship and a hypocrite in public life, the world will be puzzled to deeide whether you are an apostate or an impostor—whether you have abandoned good principles or whether you ever had any." Even Andrew Jackson, just chosen a Senator in Congress, voted with twenty others against a resolution complimenting Washington on his approaching release from the cares of government.

We take the following incident from Griswold'n "Republican Court," published in 1854:

Edmund Randolph had been an object of Washington's kindly interest since his youth his powerful influence had caused him to be elected Governor of Virginia he had appointed him successively. Attorney General and Secretary of State, and had treated him in every way with unlimited confidence and almost parental fondness The vulgar and violent abuse with which he was assailed in the disgraced Minister's "Vindication" therefore incensed him to an extraordinary de gree. The occasion was one of those in which his feelings for a moment obtained a mastery over his habitual self control We have from unquestionable authority an anecdote illustrating this fact: "Upon the settlement of the boundary between Pennsylvania and Virginia, some of Washington's lands fell within the former State, and the late Mr. James Ross, of Pittsburg, was his agent for the

Mr. Ross came

sale of them. Mr. Ross came to Phila-

of the nation will not l.delphia to settle his account, and, rendered itableBho wing than jug word to the President that he would wait upon him at his pleasure, was invi ted to breakfast the next morning. On 'arriving he found all the ladies—the

Curtises, Lewises, Mrs. Washington, and others—in the parlor obviously in great alarm. Mr. Ross described them as gathered together in the middle of the room, like a flock of partridges in the field when a hawk is in the neighborhood. Very soon the President entered and shook hands with Mr. Ross, but looked dark and lowering. They went into break' fast, and after a little while the Seeretary of War came in and said to Washington 'Have you seen Mr. Randolph's pamph let?' 'I have,' said Washington, 'and by the eternal God, he is the damndest liar on the face of the earth I' And as he spoke he brought his fist down upon the table with all his strength, and with' a violence which made the cups and plates start from their places. Ross said he felt infinitely relieved, for he had feared that something in his own conduct had occasioned the blackness of the President's countenance. The late Chief Justice Gibson had this from Ross himself, and he mentioned it at the house of the late Mrs. John B. Wallace, of Philadelphia

It would bean ungracious task to spread before our readers the nauseous details of these unremitting slanders of General Washington. They would fill columns and inflict pain in many re«pectable quarters. What we have given is simply to show how faithfully history repeats itself, as well in men as in measures. General Grant is running the same gauntlet that Washington had to run. Randolph and Freneau are only the originals ot Garret Davis and "Brick Pomerov." Washington's services to his country failed to rescue him from obloquy, and Grant can not hope to escape. There was no "dictator" half so dangerous as Washington to men like Genet and Thomas Paine. There never was one so complete as Grant to General Blair and the Washington "Patriot" Not less patent is the fact that the more Washington was atlacked the brighter he shone and the stronger he grew with the people. He was re elected without opposition. Is it not true that General Grant grows in the confidence of his countrymen even as his adversaries grow more desperate? The Democrats confess their utter inability to defeat him with a Democrat. They claim solid South next year, with several Northern States, and yet offer their Totes to any Republican candidate who is willing to run against Grant. Washington had plenty of enemies when he was a second time before the people, bnt he was chosen by acclamation. We can not hope fer such a triumph for Grant, bu» history often repeats itself so strangely that we shall not be astonished if he is re elected

by a much larger electoral vote than he got in 1868.—Phil. Press.

Repeating History.

Now that Mr. GanrettDavk, of Kentucky, hay given Senatorial expression to. the floating scandals against the President, ii may serve at least a historical purpose to show hew other reckless men traduced the most spotless of all our public characters. There is a popular belief that George Washington passed from the Presidency into private life without feeling the slings and arrows of outrageous" calumny, and nothing so much adds to this conviction as the apotheosis that places him first on the roll of human wisdom and patriotism He. is the model by which the statesmen of all civilizations mould their actions No voice is raised to question the verdict of posterity. His life, exposed after his death, has conquered criticism. The most remorseless of censors bow before its majestic har mony. Eulogized in prose and poetry, perpetuated in bronze and marble, the whole world consecrates him in all its languages. And yet this man, thus deified by the generations^- was moet brutally assailed. Our libraries hold abundant proofs of the ferocity of his foes, ilow he felt their slanders we prove by hi&wn words, taken from a letter to Mr. Jefferson, dated Philadelphia, the 6th of July, 1796, wherein he says: "Until within the last year or two I had no conception that parties would or could go to the length I have been witness to, nor did I believe until lately that it was within the bounds of probability, hardly within those of possibility, that while I was nsing my utmost exertions to establish a national character of our own, independant, so far as our obligations and justice and truth would permit, of every nation oi the earth, and wished, by steer* ing a steady course, to preserve the country from the horrors of a desolating war, I should be accused of being the enemy of one nation and subject fo the influence of another and to prove it, that every administration would be. tortured and the grossest and most insidious representa* tionsof them made by giving one side only of the subject, and thai, too, in such exaggerated and indecent terms as would scarce be applied to a Nero, a itotorious.defuulter, or even a common pickpocket."
