MONDAY, JUNE 5,1871.

THE

New York Tribune, in along ar

ticle headed "How not to prepare for the Struggle," starts out by saying "To support the Administration is one thing. To advocate the renoinination of its head is another. We support the Administration."

This pre-supposes that the Tribune thinks the "head" of the Administration is 110 part of it. In other words, that President Graut is not a part of his own Administration, and while the latter is worthy of being sustained and supported, the former is worthy of neither. This is pretty close shaving to keep within the ring, and be for Horace Greeley for the Republican nomination, and at the same time keep favor with the Republican party. We do not exactly see how such a paper as the Tribune could support such a man as Grant has proven himself to be for the Presidency and it is still difficult for us to understand how it can oppose his re-nomina tion, and at the same time support his Administration. However, this is just the place where this able paper proposes to thrust the President under the fifth rib, and maintain its prominence iu the party. It knows that the individual, personal pronoun U. Grant, is wholy and entirely unfit to be President of these United States, and yet it lovea the old Republican party.

But you can not help his renomiuation, Mr. Iribune. His patronage, which he uses most lavishly, will secure this, and you will be driven to again give him your support, or leave the party altogether. Is not the latter vastly more desirable than the former? The country can hardly survive four years more of such an Administration. The cooling breezes and salt water of Long Branch will not save it.

In its clumsy effort to say something in favor of Grant's administration, the Tribune goes on as follows: "And vet, this qconomical and peaceful and law-abiding Administration is open to such plausible attacks and liable to such popular prejudices on petty but illlooking points, that it is not clear that it lias added to the Republican strength with which it came into power. A lew thousand votes, then, in three States, would have changed the result—it is by no means clear that we liavo any greater security now. In 1872, as in 18(38, we may «till ho found dependent on the follies of the en emy for success. Bnt if the enemy should abandon his folly

What is the Empire vState doing in this emergency? We tell Republicans, real and nominal, that the business in hand is not the destruction of a party to secure the renoinination of a President, but the preservation ot a party for the election of a'President yet to be nominated not the reduction of our ranks to a number con venient lor the distribution of offices, but the effort to make suro that we shall have the olfiees to distribute not warfare among our own factions, but warfare on the enemy. We are utterly weary ot this perpetual reorganization.

It rather strikes us that "the enemy has abandoned his folly," and that the "ill-looking points" in the affairs of the Administration, are being rapidly understood by the people.

The Tribune betrays much common sense, when it intimates that the renomination of Graut is the destruction of the Republican party. Of course it is, and yet he will be renominated, and as the "enemy has abandoned his folly," he will be disgracefully defeated.

TIIE

coming 15throf August will be a

gala day, not only with the people throughout England and Scotland, and Edinburgh especially, but also for the New York folks,or rather the citizens from Scotand, orof Scottish descent, who have taken up their abode in that city. The foundation-stone to a great monument to the author of "Waverley" will be laid on that day, upon which falls the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the poet, in Central Park, and on this will be subsequently erected au exact copy in bronze of the marble statue in Princess street, Edinburgh, .which was pronounced by Lockhart to be one of the best likenesses of Sir Walter Scott in existence—the celebrated bust of Chantry not excepted. The copy will be perfect in the least particular, and will, therefore, also include a representation of his favorite and worldrenowned dog "Maida," lying at his feet, seemingly awaiting his commands. This magnificent tribute to the poet is now being cast in Edinburgh, and is expected shortly 10 arrive, together with the pedestal, the entire cost having been subscribed and paid in by the natives of the "land of Scott" in New York and vicinity.

the Archbishop of

Paris, whom the Commune have had for many weeks a prisoner in the Mazas prison, and whose murder by a mob lately is auuouneed by the cable, was one of the most eminent prelates in the Catholic Church. He was born in 1813. In 1&59 he was appointed Bishop of Nancy, and iu 1SG3 he was transferred to the Arebiepiscopal See of Paris. He was a man of moderate views in matters of Church discipline and dogmas, and was in consequence not in much faror among the Ultramontanes, who successfully resisted his elavation to the position of Cardinal. During the current troubles in Paris, namely, on April 5th, he was arrested by the Communists and was lodged in a cell in the Mazas prison, where he was kept as a hostage. In personal appearance, as described by Minister Washburne, who visited him in his cell, he was slenderly built, his form somewhat bent, his beard long, aud his faeehaggard with ill health. Within the last twenty-five years two other Archbishops have been killed—one during the fighting at the barricades of Paris in 1848, and another was assassinated in phureh,

PANCOAST,

of Philadel

phia, recently performed a painful operation on the foot of an interesting little girl, which had been deformed by wearing the equally fashionable and abominable high-heeled boots. He takes occasion to warn all ladies, young and eld, against the dangerous practice of wearing the wrongly-constructed shoes, with alpine heels from two and a half to three and a lialfinches high, which necessarily force the toes against the fore part of the shoe, and thus causje the foot within a short time to assume unnatural proportions, tending to cripple, or even render lame for life, the stylish young ladies who patronize them. We condemn the Chinese practice of compressing the feet of young children into unnatural shapes and dimensions by the use of wooden "moulds," forgetting that we allow our own daughters and wives to do exactly the same thing. Dr. Pancoast expresses it as his opinion that the painful operation he recently performed "is only the beginning of a large harvest of such cases Mothers and young ladies, beware

Governor Scott, of South Carolina, had not yielded to weak fears and foolish suggestions, he never would have asked for Federal troops to quell a local riot, or called in any foreign aid to discharge a duty which he had more than abundant means to perform at any moment. A little prudence and firmness would have saved him from the humiliation of coming here to say to the President, as he has done substantially, that his former request was unnecessary, and that no occasion existed for Executive interposition. The facts have -not materially changed between the two periods of time, but the Governor's nerves are more braced now than they were a few months ago, when his emissaries appeared in Washington imploring for bayonets, and representing the condition of the State as one of practical rebellion. There was not a particle more truth in that story when it was told than there is at this time, when it is denied by those who originated it. But the circumstances have changed, and Scott with them.

THE President has issued a new commission to Mr. Bancroft, accrediting him to the Emperor of Germany in the same capacity in which he was sent to the King of Prussia and to the President of the North German Confederation. The re-establishment of the Empire has made a new issue of credentials necessary to the Diplomatic Body in Berlin. This is purely a matter of routine, and does not in the least aliect the question of the probability of Mr. Bancroft's permanent oc cupation of the Legation.—N. Y. Tribune.

It is so seldom we find anything to be commended in the present administration of the affairs of the Government, that we eagerly seize on this appointment to give it our entire approbation. The Court of Berlin is the most refined, most intellectual, most cultivated of any in Europe, and Mr. Bancroft is, by his superior mental acquirements, peculiarly fiitted for the place. Second-rate politicians, and third-rate statesmen were applying for this most important mission, and fears were entertained, that amid the wholesale blunders of the President, somo of them would roooivo tlio appointment.

ATWestfield, Massachusetts, on Decoration Daj', Gen. Kiipatrick delivered the oration, and was eloquent in his denunciation of Jeff. Davis and Breckenridge, and swore "by the Eternal God" that they should not be returned to the United States Senate if Massachusetts could prevent it.— Telegraph.

That little two letter word "if," becomes an important word in the above connection. But what Massachusetts can, by any possibility, have to do with the election of Breckinridge or Davis, we can not exactly comprehend. One, we think, is a citizen of Kentucky, and the other of Tennessee. However, there is no telling what the Ray State will attempt to do, and we rather like Kilpatrick's courage. "By the Eternal God," is first-rate, emphatic, positive and ridiculous.

We wait impatiently until the time shall arrive when Breckinridge and Davis shall be candidates for the United States Senate, and then we will stand silently trembling, to see what Massachusetts will do about it.

THE

Journal, this morning, slashes

away at the Indianapolis Sentinel in real earnest. It seems to be very mad, and strikes wildly all around, giving us several "rib-roasters" in its pugilistic efforts. It don't seem disposed to let us favor the "forward movement" recently made by the Democratic party, nor will it go for it itself. Well, good neighbor, kind cotemporary, our ever most dear sir, how will j'ou help it? How can it lessen your supply of good, pure, refreshing, mountain air, if we do breath a little of it? Don't shut yourself up in a shell, so much like a mud-turtle.

adjournment of the Senate with

out the usual formality of notifying the President was not accidental. The subject was mentioned and a committee suggested, but for a reason not explained in public, but which is perfectly understood, Mr. Conkling insisted upon abruptly terminating the session, especially when he came-to know that Mr Morton was anxious to "have it briefly continued for importaut executive business.

Welles a Democrat.

The Hon. ideon Welles, ex-Sec.retary of the Navy, lias written a loug and explicit card to the Hartford Courant defining his political status. He says "If there is any one settled principle in our system of free government, it is that which asserts the right of the people of each State to form their own constitutions. The right is inherent in the people. When the Republicans, having obtained power, assumed to dictate to Virginia and Georgia, and other States^

in regard to their constitutions, to overrun their fundamental law, to set aside their legislative enactments, to annul their Legislatures, to displace the Governors and Judges duly elected by the people, and appoint others in their stead, they committed a greater outrage, were guilty of a more flagrant violation of the Constitution than was ever inflicted upon bleeding Kansas. The laws of Congress giving the President authority to introduce the military at elections, and all schemes by which the central Government assumes to take cognizance of, and to punish offences by the Ku Klux organization, or by others in the States, are, like almost every act in what is called reconstruction, unwarranted unconstitutional, centralizing and revolutionary."

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

The following conversation recently took place between parties living in this city, and being reported to us, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. It.—I saw you with a new dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did 3'ou pay for it?

Mrs. R.—Fifty-five cents a yard. Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it!

Mrs. It.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where I got mine. Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours? Mrs. R—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORK.

Mrs. B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's? I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and am sure there is 110 pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York O'ity Store because it has put down prices. have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false, and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. B.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am told that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, aud have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I (jot it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut off a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that hod sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in I happen ad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of 110 value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you ALL your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to the buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. Uut I have one objection to those gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advprtisements.

R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one kuows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis aud Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you .see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streets— efforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation' You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or should have kept quiet. However, I'am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old 'stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging.

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to tlie New

FOSTER BROTHERS.

City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go

with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what pa tienc-e and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is wailed upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the above without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is quite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she lias spoken in our behalf. F. B.
