THAT great "JLiberal" leader. Jonii D. DEEBEES, never omits an opportunity to howl about "Radical corruption." But JOHN the meantime, manages to keep clear of Detroit, Michigan, where an indictment is pending against him for conspiracy to defraud the Government.

HENDKICKS glories in GREELEY'S pledge af "civil service reform." That means only Democrats in office. Mr.

GREELEY'S Tammany friends are lsvely -civil service reformers! And, should GREELEY be elected, Tammany will come in for the spoils even though WBATZ

BBOWN has to be promoted over GBEKtEY's coffin.

'LLKM^R ^VVABD BEECHES, in whose bierling common sense the people of this country hare abiding faith, says in the ^Christian Union: "In all truly civilized nations the avoidance of personal display, manly simplicity and directness are highly honored. No American President was ever so absolutely unpretentious, so sim^jle and modest in hia manners, as Gen"eral GBANT." I

TBUMBuiii is going up and down the -country trying to help the 'poesnm arj^ rangmeEt by denouncing the "bayotfet G'elecUon law." LYMAN seems to forget that *'the hoyonet elcction law" was HORACE npwKT.wv'g pari icttlar pet. But for GREEjy.gr and his Tribune there is no reason to suppose Stich a measure would ever re" been adopted. It requires great, -care to denounce Republican l^ialaion without hurting H. O.

HOHACE GREELEY, in his later on civ il service reform, published in this issue argues that the President should be ineli giblc to re-election, so that he may not be tempted to use the patronage under his control corruptly to gain re-election. If the sage of Chappaqna distrusts himself, he had better withdraw from the canvaes. If be is likely to do all the mean things: which he says Presidents will do if temptation is left in their way, he is unfit, by his own admission, for tbe chief magis tracy of the nation.

MB. HENDRICKS, late ot the North western Confederacy, takes great stock in GBATZ BBOWN. In this connection it worth remembering that no President who differed upon important political ques tions. from the Vice President ever survived his term. HARRISON, TAYIOB and LINCOLN died in office, and the death of each, strangely enough, led to a change in the politics of the administration, is at least suspicious that no President has ever died unless there stood behind his chair, ready to step into it when vacated, a man of different politics. GBEELEY should be made President, and should obtrude in any manner his antiDemocratic notions into the adininislra tion of the government, there would likely as not be another dispensation Providcnce, and GBATZ BBOWN would rulo in his stead.

THE executive ot a nation should be man of good judgment concerning men Perhaps no one has shown greater capacity in selecting fit. agents for work than President GRANT. During the War he »_vk c*"x,n,ii»A« iru—Wurity, supported SHEBMAN when that great geuv,.— not stand well at headquarters, and brought to the surfaee such sol^fff, "in unknown, as SUROh'Tie has brought about •fiffs'meu, some of whom were obscure, but all have done well the work assigned •them. Ho has made mistakes in choosing assistants, but he has quickly discovered errors. On the other hand, Mr. GBEE LEY'S knowledge of human nature is of the smallest. He submits to be managed now by JOHN COCHBANE, one of the most unscrupulous politicians in the country and the names of the weak and incompetent men of whotn Mr. G. has been the especial champion would fill many pages

THE Philadelphia Press lorcibly reminds protectionists that the election of GREELEY and BROWN would be virtually a free-trade victory. Mr. GREELEY'S own honorable record as a distinguished champion of American industry is completely nullified by his pledge to 'leave the subjecf of the revenues, including the tariff, to the decision of Congress, t. e. not to bring to bear any Executive influehce upon tariff legislation, nor to veto any such bill, however repugnant to his own convictions of what is. best for tbe country. For all practical purposes Mr. GBEELEY as President would serve the Biitish manufacturers and their missionaries in the United States in the same stead as an out-and-out free-trader.

TRUMBULL, in his Dixon speech, is reported to have eaid, "OGLESBY is an honest and large-hearted man, who deals ^much in glorsfication of what was done in the war." Wheretfpon the Chicago Journal remarks tiiat since TRUMBULL has joined the party of the rebels it is not surprising that he sneers at those honest and earnest? patriots who indulge "in glorification of what was done in the war." It is to be remarked, also, that while General RICHARD J. OGLESBY was in the very front, gallantly commanding his division in the Uoion army of the Weet, during the war, TBUMBULL, in the Senate, was engaged in the tioble work of1 sneering at and annoying President LINCOLN, and doing all he dared do to destroy confidence in his Administration.

SPECIAL dispatches from Washington to Western newspapers of yesterday say that among the documents contained in the rebel archives, recently purchased by the government from the rebel General PICKEXT, is the report of JACOB THOMPSON of his operations along the northern frontier in 1S63-4. This report has been prepared for the press, and will be given out this week. It is dated December, 1S63, and indorsed by JCDAH P. BENJAMIN, as received by him February 5, 1SG4. It details the attempt to organize a rebellion in the Northwest, and proves the existence of, aid gives considerable history of, the Sons of Liberty, and this order is stated to have been abandoned because a Democratic candidate on an Indiana State ticket threatened to expose the whole thing if it was not given up. It was the design of the conspiracy to burn New York and other Northern cities and those of the frontier. The names of the parties entrusted with the project of burning Cincinnati are given,and the amount of money used to secure the end is stated. The successful burning of steamboats at St. Louis and the partial success on the Ohio are reported. The details of the plans for releasing the prisoners on Johnson's Island are set forth. In one part of the report THOMPSON writes that he had been considering the propriety of starting south until he saw by Beigaman's personal in the New York News that it was necessary that he should not. These in charge of the preparation of the document are very reticent about it, but^the above are heliered to.be the main points,,

THE FIGHT FOE SPOILS. If the Democratic supporters of HOBACE GBEELEY are battling for anything other than office, the fact is not apparent unbiased public. No one will asfert that they are impelled by enthusiastic regard for Mr. GBEELEY to rally to Lis support, inasmuch as no man has been more cordially hated in the past by

Democrats than their present candidate. That they have become suddenly fascinated by Republican principles, including negro sufirage, military reconstruction &c., is even harder to believe than that they are infatuated with Mr. GBEELEY. A party may give up its life-long belief and abandon its most cherished principles, as the Democratic party has done but it is unreasonable to suppose that this can be followed by the adop tion of all the most hated doctrines of its enemy, unless there is some motive of interest at the bottom. Such conversion is altogether too astonjhing. SAUL'S change from the persecutor to the great apostle of Christianity was less remarkable than this. The student of GAMALIEL embraced Christianity because he saw in it the true faith. If SAUL'JS support of the church had been like the advocacy of GBEELEY by Mr.

HENDBICKS, Mr. VOOBHEES and Demo cratic leaders generally, he would have said at Damascus: "I stand by my ancient principles I take back nothing I have changed in nothing. I do aot regret that I assisted in stoning STEPHEN, or that I cherished the raiment of them that slew him, or that I caused men and women to be thrown into prison because of the faith which I now embrace. But Christianity is the easier road. It don't pay to be struck by lightning and made blind in this sudden way. The forces are against me, and I gracefully bow. Good policy requires me to fight on the side which controls the thunderbolts."

If SAUL had put himself on record in this way his position would have been just as manly as that of the Democratic leaders of to-day who are rallying their cohorts to vote for Mr. GBEELEY.

The position of the GBEELEY Demo crats is despicable. It is the story over again, as revived by the Louisville Cou rier Journal, of ABTEMUS WARD'S proud Virginian who was found starving by the Yankee showman after the fall of Iiieh mond, and who, being invited to regale himself at the showman's expenMJ, re plied: "Despicable Union brave! I abhor you, but 1 will eat with you

No leading Democrats have yet said "We support a Republican on a Reptib lican platform because we believe in the man and his principles." They do say by their acts, if not in words: "We-stuliify ourselves because it is politic to do so we fly a Democratic flag we will surely be beaten. We 'do this thing' that we may gain '.office, though our principles will certainly trail in the mire forever."

Shaaie on such treachery! Shame on such dishonor! The movement will surely come to grief. The Democratic masses have not yet been heard from The place-hunters have talked loudly at Cincinnati and Indianapolis and Balti more. They have been harmonious. They have agreed without dissent that this fight must be made for the spoils. The Democratic voters will not be heard until they speak at the polls, and then they will pronounce in a voice of thunder. The people pierce sham and dishonesty and subterfuge quickly in these good dayd. The time is not far off when men will be ashamed of their connection with the war for office in 1872, just as decent

politicians dislike now to admit association WLIU •iY "T'?'a,OJ£® !Mr. VOORIIEES will particularly desire in the neiu—. to erase the campaign of 1872 from the story of their lives. The year in which they laid aside life-long convictions, in order to engage in a race for spoils, will not have for them many pleasant memoriep.

The result of the election will prove whether the masses of the people can be cajoled into voting for a movement which has for its object the change ef federal place-holders—simply this and nothing more. If the movement fails—and it will fail—the people will put themselves on record as caring little for offices, provided that they are filled honestly and well,

SEVERAL allusions have been made, in these columns, to repeated and deliberate forgeries with which Mr. GREELEY'S organs seek to help what they call the "Liberal movement." Names of citizcns, in various places, have been forged to calld for GBEELEY meetings. A letter from CHABLES SUMNEB was dated' forward a year, two paragraphs left out, and others altered, and then the base forgery was given to the press of tbe country as "a letter just received from Senator SUMNEB I" But the most shameful villainy in this line is the publication of extracts from a Know-Nothing tirade delivered in this State about eighteen years ago by a blatherskite named WILSON, and palming it off as a speech by Senator WIL90N, candidate for the Vice-Presidency. This dastardly forgery has been repeatedly exposed. Every editor who prints it knowB that he is guilty of a villainy which, any other business but politics, would brand him so deep with infamy as to forever exclude him from the society of any but the vilest classes. And even that mistaken charity which permits looser morals in politics than in business, is not PO broad but that all honest minds regard this sort of political forgery as unsuited to any other character than a corrupt, unprincipled scoundrel.

IN HIS speech in the House oi Representatives on the 13th day of May last, Mr. VOOBHEES declared, concerning Mr. GBEELEY'S candidacy for the Pressdency, that he (Mr. VOOBHEES) "did not halt or hesitate." "Whoever believed in Mr. GBEELEY'S protective principles might support him, but he (Mr. VOOBHEES) «vould not. GBEELEY was a life-long champion ot a doctrine which he (Mr, VOOBHEES) opposed the great champion of the protective system the most clamorous advocate in all the land, of the Ku Klux legislation, which desolated the whole Southern people. A red sea of blood had not been enough to satisfy this man, but he had also insisted on the confiscation of the homes and property of the women and children of the South. Others might do as they liked, but as for him and his household they tcould not do this iking. Parties, to be successful, must be united on a common principle. No other combination of men mu tcoriky of success. No one desired success more than himself, but there was something better and sweeter than success. It vas better be right than to succeed."

MB. THEODORE TILTOK says: "What we need is to shuffle the North and South together like a pack of cards." The advice is good but the country can't afford to trust the man to boss the game who wanted the North to throw up its hand daring the war. It needs still the cautious determined player who held the cards in front of Sonelaon and Vicksburg and Lookout and Richmond.

AID now Mr. SUXNKB purposes to ask the colored people of the nation to vote for GBXXLKY. Mr. S. cai call, but they will not anewer.

SCUU. ON GRANT.

It wonld seem that the charges of Senator SCHUBZ against President GBANT are, in the mainj trivial and unimportant. The Senator Fays that he was 'offered unlimited atronage by two agents of the administration if he would support the San Domingo scheme. Dispatches from Washington yesterday

Bay

that the President will deny promptly that any such proposition ever was made by him. Mr. SCHUBZ has either misstated facbt, or he has permitted himself to be imposed upon by some officious lobbyists. That men do engage in the disgraceful business of buying, selling and bargaining for the votes of Congressmen, and that they are entirely reckless in their statements of influence with persons high in authority, is well known. Mr. SCHUBZ has done himself little honor in charging upon GBANT the sins of two irresponsible persons. The statement of President GBANT will set this charge at rest entirely.

The Senator says that President GBANT by no means a monster of iniquity— that he means well enough, but he is a great blunderer. The most pointed a?cu sation is that the President has not sought enough advice—that he has run things in his own way, with little regard for precedents, and that the advisors and friends he has gathered around him have been personally distasteful to Mr. SCHUBZ. In fact, the whole trouble seems to be that President GBANT has never shown profound and humble ap' prcciation of the services, nor dread of the enmity, of the Senator from Missouri. Unquestionably, GBANT has strong personality. The triumphs of his life, and they are no mean victories, are the growth of his own sturdy self-reli-ance. He has worked out his plans silently, without ostentation or show, but his labors have none the less borne good fruit.

The old charge of nepotism does not seem any more formidable since it has been ground through tbe SCHURZ mill. If the accusation is serious now, it was serious three years 8go when the appointments were first made, and when Senator SCHUBZ was a warm admirer and sup porter of the administration. He should have spoken on this charge then, or now hold his peace.

The Senator acquits (he President of Ciesarism, and thus gives tbe lie to the BLAIB school of accusers, who pretend to fear that GBANT stands ready to turn the nation into a monarchy and grasp its crown.

The pith of these charges against President GBANT is that he takes things easily and comfortably, that there is no grand idea in his administration, and that it is bare of striking achievements. And why should he not take things easily and comfortably? Why should he worry his life eut seeking to startle people by striking achievemonts? His fame is such that the plaudits or disapproval of the world do not move him. He needs no higher motive than to do right, and give the people good government. And has he not given them good government? Has not loyalty been protected and made respectable in the South under his admistration? Has not taxation been lessened, and has not the debt been diminished $333,976,916,39 since he was inaugurated? Have we not peace at home and abroad? Have not the war differences been quickly healed? Is not the commercial condition of the country sound?

GRANT'S administration has been more useful than brilliant, but in these matter-of-fact days brilliancy is at a discount. wuutijr picfara a safe light, furnishing a steady flame. Pyrotechnics are not

mayPB%%B^'iinp^fiaenfences at the quiet man in the White House every day from now until November, but he will not shake the faith of the people in their President.

the House of

YESTEBDAY afternoon in Commons, the arrival of French Communists being under discussion, Sir ROBEBT PEEL, alluding to the expulsion of Jesuits from Germany, asked the premier if the government intended to enforce the Roman Catholic law of 1829, which provides for the banishment of Jesuits from England. Mr. GLADSTONE replied that the government had not yet determined upon its policy in reference to this question. The act referred to was originated by Sir ROBEBT PEEL, father of the baronet who made inquiry yesterday. It was really an act of Catholic emancipation. Up to 1780, the law of England made it felony in a foreign Roman Catholic priest, and high treason in one who was a native of the kingdom, to teach the doctrines or perform the rites of his church. Catholics were debarred from acquiring land by purchase. Catholics had no rights in property which Protestants were bound to respect. A'Roman Catholic was disqualified from iaking the guardianship even of Catholic children. Catholics were excluded from the legal profession. It was a capital offense for a priest to celebrate a marriage between a Protestant and Catholic. Some of these outrageous restrictions were removed by the acts of 17S0 and 1791, but most of them remained until 1829, when PEEL'S bill swept them away. But that bill did not remove all disabilities imposed upon Catholics. I left Jesuits under this ban: "Jesuits, and members of orders bound by monastic or religious vows, must register themselves with the clerk of the peace of their counties. Jesuits, not national subjects, who have come into the country since the passing of the act, are liable to be banished. Persons admitting others to such societies in the United Kingdom, are liable to fine and imprisonment, and those who have been so admitted are liable to be banished."

The English premier intimates that these infamous rules may now be enforced. They smack more of mediaval years than of the present time.

IN 1868, GBANT carried North Carolina by 9,000 majority, but this is not a good criterion as many were disfranchised. The last election of any significance was that of two years ago for Attorney General, when the Republicans polled 86,427 votes and the Democrats, 87,628 votes giving the Democrats a majority of 1,221. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, who gives these figures, thinks the Democrats did not poll their full number at the former elections. If they did not poll it then, there is little ground for believing that they will poll it now. However, the North Carolina election will be close. As it went Democratic two years ago, it would not be astonishing if the Republican ticket is beaten this year.

SENATOR SCHURZ is bitter upon carpetbaggers. But here is there a greater carpet-bagger than Mr. SCHUBZ? He haa been a citizen of many States, and he waa a resident of Missouri only a few months before being elccted to the Senate. He should not sling rocks at carpet-baggers unless he wants to hit himself.

THEBE seems to be some trouble at Geneva, but tbe arbitrators preserve such lofty reticence that the agents of the press are not able,even to gueaiat the trouble.

OBATIOX BY KALPH WALDO EMEBSON, AT AXHEBSr, wit 1L GENTLEMEN OF XHE SOCIAL UNION:— There is a prise which we are all aiming for. The more power and goodness we have, so much the more energy. Every human being has a right to it and in the pursuit no man stands in another's way. Tbere are as many degrees of skill as there are .individuals, and every one, by success in his pursuit, not hinders but helps. Success is variously termed. I might call it completeness—might call it character. I might prefer to cat 1 it greatness—the fulfillment of a natural tendency in each maEter. It is a fruitful study— that of the humanities. Gifts of the intellect and sentiments of the moral nature have the preference. This is the worthiest history of the world. Not the solder, not the Governor, nor strong hand* represent the highest force of mankind but wisdom, civility, laws, letters and art. We call these humanities.

No man stands unrelated, and we admire eminent men, not for themselves, but for their relation. The intellectual and the moral sentiment which are in the last analysis cannot be separated. There are many men who say that thought rules the world. Who can doubt the potency of an individual mind It is this that fires the ambition of every man. Il gives them moral character. We count as the world's great masters Alaric/Mohammed, Mirabeau, Napoleon —even Henry VIII. But I am bound to say that no way has been found to make heroism easy. The keynote of the true man is greatness, that which belongs to us all, to which we are sometimes faithless, but of which we never quite despair, but hope to make our monitor through the eternities. It is only the best anecdotes of mind that we wish to hear. I know that' men of character think that they must go to Africa, to Rome, to China.

We have learned that the college, parlor and counting room demand as much courage as the sea or the camp. It is very certain that we are not, nor should be, contented, by any glory we have reached. Every man comes one day to be superfious. How soon we become sick of the playthings of the nursery, and tbe time will come when Homer's poetry will sound like tin pans. The praise we give to the true hero we shall unsay. The very word "greatness" provokes a feeling of hostility. Greatness! Is there hot something unfeeling in the word? There sre points alike between the old way and the new way of the road to the stars.

SELF-BESPECT IS ONE.

To use a homely illustration, we are at once drawn to that man in a tavern that maintains his own opinions in tbe face of all the bystanders. We know his selfrespect. Tbe common laborer refuses money for saving your life, and makes himself your equal by the act, and asserts his self-respect. What a bitter-sweet sensation we have after pouring out our praises on one to find him quite indifferent to our good opinion. One sometimes meets a gentleman who, if good manners had not existed, would have invented them, showing what man was originally to man. Self-respect, then, is the following of an inward leader, and is one of the main elements of. greatness. There are functions of nature supplementary to the bent of individuals. Thus, for geology, there will be men born for an eye to viewing mountains and making the diflerencesof strata. Such a man will have a desire for chemistry, for natural physics, for fishes and for plants.

Men of the present find a stimulus through the wonders laid open by means of the solar spectroscope, finding the same or similar elements in the sun and distant planets as in the earth. Again, one boy longs for the sea, another for foreign lands, another to be an architcct. Thus there is not a man born but, as his genius opens, turns in that line to his pursuit. There is the poet, the orator, the schoolmaster, the college man, the physician and the jurist. It is singular to seethe adaptations of men to the world and every part of it. I remeuiber that Sir John Humphrey Davy said:—"My best discovery was Michael Faraday." In 1848 I had the pleasure of listening to Faraday lecturing on dia-magnetism, or cross magnetism. He showed the force, by experiment with several gases, that when ordinary magnetism is from north to south, in gases it may be from east to west. Further experiments led him to say that every chemical substance had its own polarity. Is not there a 6UKU: man differs from every other mind as it opens. There is a teaching from within leading him in a new path, which signalizes him and makes him more important to society. We call this his bias. No one will ever accomplish anything commanding unless he listens to this so-called bias in his mind.

EVEBY INDIVIDUAL HAS A PBOPBIUM.

Swedenborg calls it a passion. The ir dividual must obey this as it becomes developed, and only as he develops this does he gain true power in the world. It is his magnetic needle that leads him through the world. In morals this is called conscience in the intellect it is called genius in practice it is called talent.

Young people should not leave out the one thing a discourse would say. I have observed that in all the public speakers there is a desire to please rather than to speak their deep convictions when the thought that he stands for gives him fuller greatness in the intellectual powers, so that mankind seems to epeak through his lips. There is a certain transfiguration to a man thus speaking. When the true speaker has appeared he is the true orator, and all who wish to similate him. Shall we ask what is this self-re-spect? This would involve a search into the highest problems. A man needs all the armory of thought, and .must wait sedulously every morning for the thought the spirit will give him. And in this self respect, or hearkening to the perfect oracle, the man ought never to be at a loss in respect to his deep religious convictions.

This is our practical perception of the deity of man. "We do not pretend to any revelation," says the Quaker, "but if, at any time I wish to perform a journey, something interposes in the mind, I let it lie. If it don't pass away I yield to this deep conviction in my religious nature." If you ask the nature of this I cannot describe it. It is too simple to be described. It is like a grain of mustard seed. Yet the opposition of all mankind could not swerve me from its leadings, nor.the consent of all mankind confirm it Reject the bias of the individual mind. The world is created as an audience for the scholar, and the atoms of which his world is made are opportunities. Let the scholar use genius to cope with giants. Another would show what? Stick to your own. Do not engage in a local, social or national crime.

Thus will you develop a character somewhat more clear and incorruptible than the midnight star. The man with catholic genius draws the extreme 0fB0eiety so that the very dogs believe in him. We have had such eramples in this country. In politics, Clay, Webster, Lincoln—a man who commanded the admiration of all. There was not room in his heart to hold a wrong. In the pulpit we have Father Tyler in England, Fox, in Scotland, Robert Burns, and I have some convictions that this can be justified even where there is graat imperfection in character. Perhaps the old Trouvere poet was ri?ht— 1 oft have heard, and deemed the wstnesi true. What man delight: in, God delights in, too."

Every sensible man drops out of his narrative all allusion to himself. He is content with putting his theme on its own ground. Yon shall not tell me that yon hare learned to know moat men your saying so approves it. You shall not tell me by their titles what books you have read you shall not tell your house is the best and your pictures the finest you shall make me feel it. I am to infer it from you, conversation. A celebrated TP^mhal of France said of Albert Daren, 'It seems as if the sea stood in awe of that nan, so strong was his personality." What a difference there is between man and men in history. The inventor's skill never dies. One man tends a stocking loom, another makes shoe pegs, Newton, Laplace and Leibnitz are ready to conetrnct a world if this one does not suit them. Biographies of Raphael show what he accomplished.

Of Napoleon, even in his downfall, what a power remains, and what an infinite handed down to his decaying dynasty! He pierced through the surface

to the heart of a matter by the speed of his action, and his letters of instruction to his broth^r'Joseph in Italy were, "fie master." When an Earl of Ireland was brought to London some one said. that, all Ireland could not govern this '•king. "Then let him £svern Ireland," was the reply. Gibbbo pretended to vices he did not possess that he might escape the ccnsure of hypocrisy. Men of great perception appear to have an enthusiasm approaching insanity. The favorite of wealth, more than the educated man, is preferred. "I never knew a bad man without some good in him." The Five Points in New York are even said to have their virtues. Diderot was the best man in France. Ilis humanity knew no bound*.

A certain man wrote some lampoonery about him, and afterwards was obliged to come to him to write an introduction, which he did, and thus secured twentyfive guineas to save his poor lampooner alive. The great man is he who fills the relation to all humanity which he possesses. He exists for the widest use. He is the friend of schools, churches, &c. All greatness is in degree—there is more above than below. We have seen an intellectual Torso, without hands or feet, and only working by presence and superior intelligence. Snch I call not men, but rather influences. There is a clars of men who, without address, posaess talent —in whose persons genius is admonished for itself.

We admire the intellectual gods of the world—Homer, Plato, Shakspeare— but who were the gods these gods delighted in? They are the silent, poised lovers who make the sense and conscience of the mind—only working in the intelligence as a living force. Such are our influences. Miners in California tell us that there is au ore from which the gold cannot be separated without loss.. There are men from whose mind nothing can be detached without the disintegration of tbe whole. How often, then, we lament when we see talent suck the substance. How often we are unable to separate general from specific ability. Some one has said, "Blessed are they who have no talent for the live." It is impossible to inventory the minds of tbe gods. We meet people who read us, but do not tell us what they read.

The only real benefit of which we are susceptible is what has been dignified for us. We must ask with M. AntoniiiB, if a picture is good what matter who painted it? What matter who does good if the good is only accomplished? It is always desirable to collect examples in which greatness is dwarfed by greatness of a higher grain. You must not wait until the sun is entirely downj for this is a subject which ends only in eternity. I must read you a story of humility: Brazier, a Jesuit, was once in his cell when the devil appeared to him. In his humility he arose and asked him to sit in his chair, deeming him tbe more worthy. Tbe secret of the true scholar is humanity. Every man is my master in some point, and of him I learn. Young men, you may, perhaps, think the°e questions belong to the church. I must say that they belong'to the daily service of the college, the profane service, if you so term it.

Young gentlemen, I have detained you perhap too long. I only hope that from the study of these humanities you may have gleaned something worthy for a useful life.

BLUNDERS OF WRITERS AND TYPOS. From the Philadelphia Bulletin.]

The amusement afforded by ludicrous typographical errors will be inexhaustible while printers are fallible and editors write with abominable indifference to legibility. One of the most astonishing blunders of this kind was committed 8ome years ago in an editorial in the Bulletin. The writer, who had cautioned his readers against "casting their pearls before swine," was amazed and grieved to see that the compositor had warned the public against "carting their pills before sun rise." This was corrccted in the proof but the reporter who declared of a certain new store that it had "sixty fancy windows," was even more indignant than the storekeeper whe he saw in his paper the statement that tbe establishment contained "sixty faded widows." And then there was the poet in Muncy, who sought to soothe the wounded feelings of a bereaved family by publishing in a local paper a poetical tribute to tbe deceased daughter, Emily, in which he declared that "we was pursued'next morning by Emily's exasperated brother, because tbe printers insisted that "we will harrow her grave with our steers."

The poets suffer most deeply. Nothing could be worse, for instance, than the misery of the bard who asserted in his copy that he "kissed her under the silent Stars,"only to find that the compositor compelled him to "kick her under the cellar stairs." A certain Jenkins, also, was the victim of an aggravated assault because when, in his report of a wedding, he declared that "tbe bride was accompanied to the altar by eight bridesmaids," the typos made it that "the bride was accompanied to the altar by tight bridesmaids." These things are peculiarly unpleasant when they occur in remarks upon death as in the case of the editor, who while writing a sympathetic paragraph, observed tbat "Mr. Smith could hardly bear the loss of his wife," only to find that the printer had made it, "Mr. Smith could hardly bear such a boss of a wife."

But the printers do not make all the mistakes. We remember the laughter and comment provoked by the statement of a provincial reporter who called the attention of the constable to the fact that "on Sunday last some twenty or thirty men collected in the hollow back of Thos. McGinnis, and engaged in fighting all the morning." Mr. McGinnis' back must have been uncomm6nly large.

During the Franco-Prussian war a great deal of fun was poked at aNew Jersey editor who read in the cable dispatches that "Bazaine has moved twenty kilometres out of Metz." He thereupon cat down and wrote an editorial, in which he said he was delighted to hear that all the kilometres had been removed, and that the innocent people of Metz were no longer endangered by the presence of those devilish engines of war—sleeping upon a volcano as were. And then he went on to describe some experiments made with kilometres in the Crimea, in which one of them exploded and blew a frigate out of water.

Another editor clipped from an ex' change an obituary poem, which he sent to the composing room with some introductory remarks. He said: "We publish below a very touching production from the pen of Miss It was written by her at the death-bed of her moth' er, and it overflows with those expressions of filial affection which are the natural outgrowth of a pure, untutored gen' ius that has developed beneath tbe sheltering influences of a mothet's love. The reader will observe how each line glows with ardent a flection and tenderest regret."

Somehow in attaching thij introduction to the poem, the editor turned up the wrong side of the clipping, and the consequence was that the editor's lines led the reader gently into an article on "Hog Cholera in Tennessee." It was rumored that the relatives of Miss were seen irowling around the office the next day, ut this has not been traced to any reliable authority.

STRIVING FOR POPULARITY. They have a candidate for the Legisture in Virginia who thought, some time ago, that he had hit upon a first-rate plan for gaining popularity. He used to go out by a railroad track and pick up the first child he saw playing around anywhere near, and he wonld hold the infant until he saw a train approaching. Then he would place his little victim upon the track and hide in the bashe*. Just as the locomotive got almost to the ppot he would rush out and sieze the child and drag it off j:ut in the nick of time. Upon other occasions he wonld push little children off the canal boats and bridges and then dive for them. The consequence waa that for awhile ne was tbe most popular man in the county. Bat he did so much of this kind of business that people at last began to grow soSpicioos, and certain of his political adversaries determined to watch him. One day they came upon him while he was placing a little boy on the track. They kept quiet until the train approached, and then the whole crowd started up in front of him. He waa so unnerved tbat he forgot to sieze the child, and the train ran over it. He lad to wy ten thousand dollars damages for the oss of the boy's leg, and he is now in jail upon a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. It is thought he will not go to the Legislature next winter.

UNEARNED GREATNESS. "Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hare greatness thrust upon them," says the letter that doped Malrolio. The United States can famish many illustrations of the "achievement of greatness," a few of "greatness by bictb," and an occasional rare instance of "greatness thrust upon the wearer. Mr. Thos. A. Hendricks is the- most conspicuous of the last within our knowledge, or within the records of political promi nehce. He has "achieved" nothing, sim ply because in the whole course of his long public career he has attempted noth ing. A constitutional caution, running into cowardice, has tied his tongue from positive opinions and hi* hand from positive action. The fear of to-morrow has impaired the decision of to-day. He has seen opportunities dritt idly by, because his timidity dreaded the chance of their destination. Without the sa gacitv to foresee results, or the firmness to accept them, he has floated like a cob in a creek, wherever the movements of his party bore him. He has never been a leader, because he never formed or dared to declare a sentiment for his party, or his country to move up to. He has directed no action, because he has had no manly con« victions to energize his impulses. He has devised no public measure, because it would fix him in a position which the future might make hard to explain or impossible to defend. His fears have governed him always, his convictions never, from the first appearance in the constitutional convention of 1850 till his speech on Saturday night, he has been a man of negatives, a man to be recognized, not by what he has done, but by what he has never tried to do. Six years in the National Senatesaw him come out as bare of positive work and definite achievement as he went in. Four years of dreadful war saw him as undecided and unsafe at its close as at the firstshot that struck the walls of Sumter. Three contests for the Governorship have seen him the same dodging, paltering, political coward. We dare him or his friends to put their hands on any record of his sentiments that was not made after his party had expressed them. We defy anybody to find an instance of a manly and unequivocal declaration of his in advance of a convention, or with any view to mould the purposes or feelings of his party. He replied on Saturday night to Governor Morton's accusation that "he was not opposed to putting down the rebellion thus:" "He has known all the while that during the first month of the war I made a brief publication of my views, in which I said that I regarded it as the duty of the citizen to respect and maintain the national authority, and to give it an honest and earnest support in the prosecution of the war, until in the providence of God it might be brought to an honorable conclusion." Governor Morton never saw that 'publication, and this is the first time we ever heard of it, and we have kept a pretty close watch on the war reGord of Hendricks. Bnt, without questioning his averment, it is easy to see that in the rush and roar and fierce enthusiasm of "the first month of the war," even his moral cowardice might have been animated into something like positive patriotism. If it was, it speedily declined, and the remaining fonr years showed him to the State, and to the whole country, a silent approver or accessory of every act of treason, every scheme of domestsc revolution, every combination of resistance to the government, that made the community a bubbling cauldron of riots, bloodshed and disloyalty. In the convention of the 8th of January, 1862, what word did he sav for the war that would jncite any man to sustain it by vole or volunteering? Not one. Its whole tenor and spirit were to discourage its prosecution and alienate his party from his support. He declared for a confederacy of the Mississippi Valley States if the old union were dissolved, and nowhere did he titter a word that encouraged a hope of its preservation. He truckled to the disloyal sentiment of his party as he truckled to every sentiment that traversed his own. When Senator Cobb introduced his resolutions denouncing the war, and declaring that "Indiana, will not voluntarily contribute another man or another! dollar to be used for such unholy, wicked and inhuman purposes," what^did Mr. Hendrick'ssay? He had

Legislature, to be sure, but he had, a very few days before, been elected by that Legislature to the United States Senate, and his position made it incumbent on him to speak. He never spoke a word. When Sullivan county sent up a petition asking that "no more men or money be voted to prosecute this infernal abolition war," and it was respectfully referred, while a petition from nn Eastern county asking a declaration in favor of the war was rcjectcd without reference, what said Mr. Hendricks? NothiDg. When a joint resolution was introduced in the House on the 14th of February, "condemning the war, but not the rebellion" (see Brevier Reports of 1863) what said Mr. Hendricks? Nothing. When Braiin, of Wells, introduced a series of resolutions denouncing the war, and proposihg that the State should make peace on her own account, independently of Congress, and should appoint delegates to meet others from the rebel and border States in Nashville,on the 1st of June, 1863, for that purpose, what said Mr. Hendrick, who now declares that he "supported the war?" Not a word. His cowardly soul shrunk from its duty and his cowardly tongue "clove to the roof of his mouth." He dared not speak, though his party was pushing head foremost, with its eyes wide open, into an irreparable breach with tbe nation. It was time for an honest man, a true man, a manly man, and a patriot to speak as if his lips, like Isaiah's, had been "touched with fire" from heaven. But Mr. Hendricks never spoke. When the resolutions of the Sixty-sixth and Ninety-third regiments, denouncing the treasonable influences that interfered with the prosecution of the war, were presented to the Legislature that made Mr. Hendricks Senator, and they were rejected, kicked eut, what said this "supporter of the war?" Nothing. When Bayless W. Hanna introduced, and carried to a third reading, and would have pasted, if the Republicans had not "bolted," a bill displacing Governor Mor ton from his constitutional command of the State militia and putting it into the hands of the Democratic State officers, three out of four of whom were notorious "Sons of Liber ty," what said Mr. Hendricks to so flagrant a violation of the Constitution, and so bold an attempt to take the State out of the war, which hesays he "supported?" Nothing. When on organized band of Democratic rebels, in Morgan county, fired upon a detachment of troops sent down to arrest a deserter, what rebuke of their murderous meanness did Mr. Hendricks utter? None. When Democrats broke up the draft box in Blackford county, Mr. Hendricks was silent. When the house of James Sill, an enrolling officer of Putnam county, was mobbed and fired into sixty times by Democrats, what said Mr. Hendricks? Nothing. When Fletcher Freeman, an enrolling officer of Sullivan connty, was murdered by Democrats, Mr. Hendricks never opened his lips or unloosed his tongue for censure. When Captain Eli McCarty was murdered by Democrats, in Daviess county, while serving notices on drafted men, Mr. Hendricks, the "supporter of the war," stood silent. Mr. Frank Stevens was murdered by Democrats while enrolling Rush county what said Mr. Hendricks? Nothing. The advocate of "an honest and earnest proseclition of the war" was dumb. When Sullivan county Democrats drove off their loyal neigh bors and burned their houses and grain stacks, what did Mr. Hendricks? Nothing. And this man of "nothing," this embodiment of cowardly silence, when every impulse of duty and every suggestion of honor demanded prompt and earnest rebuke, claims that he "supported the war I" The impudence of the claim is only equalled by the cowardice that refutes it. Throughout the whole war, whatever may hsve been his votes in the Senate, Mr. Hendricks gave no word or act at home, where his word would have gone far to make his party quiet if not loyal, toward strengthening the government or promoting the imperative duly of filling up our ranks in the field. HU whole course of conduct was discouragement, his whole life a cowardly and oontemptibleevasion of responsibility and positive opinion*. Such a man can be "great" only when-"great-ness is thurstupon him." He can never "achieve" it. He can cerer achieve anything but tbe contempt of men with decision enough to form their own opin-

and courage enough to avow them, waa "born** to some share of "neat

nese," as on* of the "first families" of Indians, bat the chance of birth, and tbC convenience of a candidate who had nerer advocated views obnoxious to bis party, have made all of him that has ever shown itself outside of his law office. What he wasn't born to has been "thnrst upon him,n and he h«s become "great" with less desert and le*s positive achievement than any man ot his opportunities that ever lived.—Indianapolis Journal. GENERAL GRANT'S PRINCIPLES.

The following extracts from the published correspondence of General Grant explain the principles which guide him in conducting the affairs of the nation: "I care nothing for promotion so long as our arms are successful."—[Gram to Sherman, February, 1862. "If toy course is not satisfactory, remove me at once. I do not wish in any other way to impede the success of our arms —[Grant to Halleck, February 6, 1862. "No theory uf my own will ever stand in the way of my executing in good faith any order I may receive from those in author ity over me."—[Grant to Secretary Chase, May 29,1865. "This Is a Republic where the will of the people is the law of the land."-[Graiit Letter to President Johnson, Aug., 1867 "I shall have no policy of my own to interpose against the will'of thq people."—[Grant's Letter, May 29,1868. "Human liberty is the only true foundation of human government."—Grant's Letter to the citizens of Memphis. "Let us have peace."—[Grant's Letter, Mav 29,1868. "On all leading questions agitating the public mind I will always express my views to Congress and urge them according to my judgment and wh^i I think it advisable will exercise the constitutional privilege of interposing a veto to defeat measures which I oppose. But all laws'will be faithfully executed, whether they meet my approval or not. I shall, on all subjects, have a policy to recom mend, but none to enforce against the will of the people."—[Grant's Inaugural, 1869.

GRAND CELEBRATION.

COMPLETION OF THE EXPOSITION BUILDISO AT LOUISVILLE, LOUISVILLE, July 20.—The completion of the Industrial E celebrated to-day by an immense mass meeting of citizens in the building. Twenty thousand people were in attendance with music and speaking. The doors were thrown open at 5 o'clock and speaking commenced a few minutes after. Mr. Bi' jnr sspoke in behalfof the contractors, de livering the keys to the directors. Hon B. J. Webb responded on behalf of the company. Among the speakers were Gen Wm. Preston, Gen John W. Finnell, exGov. Bramlette and other distinguished citizens. Three of tha oldest citizens of the city were present, being driven into the center of the lower hall in a carriage. The crowd is regarded as a thorough test of the building, which is of a most substantial character, capable of sustaining twice the weight that can be put on it. Many business houses closed in accordance with the request of the Board of Trade, in order to permit their employes to attend. The building is the largest of the kind in the United States, being 330 on Fourth street by 230 feet on Chestnut, covering an area of 76,000 square feet, with extensive galleries and a basement 90 by 100 feet. Tbe en tire floor spnee is over 125,000 square feet. The interior is well lighted and ventilated. It is the coolest place in the city. It iB closed now for decoration until the opening of tbe exposition, September 3d. The success of the exhibition is assured beyond question. Applications for space for novelties are coining in daily. The occasion to-day was one of more general interest than any that has occurred in Louisville since the Commercial Convention here. The proceedings closed with a banquet to the prrs.« at night. The building will be lighted at night with three thousand gas jets.

EMINENT*"PLAGIARISTS.

UN1VEBSAL PBEVALENCE OF LITEBABY HIGHWAY BOBBERY. The British Quarterly Review, in no ticing the charge of plagiarism which is brought against Dumas, pleasantly illustrates the various Bhades and degrees what commonly passes by tbat name. Tbe most inventive minds have not disdained to borrow from their predecessors. Virgil borrowed from Homer Bacine '••om Eyiiuides Corneille Lin.his Ciil) from aTSpanTSh aramatist: fivii oetiue those who have said or written our good things before tis," was the-half comic, half-serious exclamation of truly original wit. Shakspeare drew largely on chronicles, popular histories and i-tory books for his characters and plots his Greeks and Romans freqently speak the very words placed in their mouths by Plutarch. "Julius C.-csar" was preceded by a Latin play on tbe same subject, and among other things the famous "A7 lu Brule, which restB on noclassical authority, was taken from it. Voltaire sedulously ran down Shakspeare to throw dust in the eyes of tbe French public and prevent their discovering his obligations to the barbarian, as he designated the author of "Hamlet." L'Ermite in "Zadig" is a mere paraphrase of Parnell's poem— "The Hermit," and the fable of Voltaire's of "Le Lion etle Marseillaise" is borrowed from^Mandeville. The framework of all the solid portions of Mirabeati's best speeches were notoriously supplied by Dumont, little being left for the erator but to infuse the Promethian fire and vivify the mass. A note in the handwriting of the brothers of Talleyrand exists, to the effect that the only breviary used by the ex-Bishop was "L'lmprovisateur Francais," a volumions collection of anecdotes and jests tbe fraternal inference being that his'conversational bril* liancy was partly owpg to this repository. Pascal copies whole pages from Montaigue without' quoting him. Sheridan was indebted to Farquhar for the "Trip to Scarborough the most admired bit of dia» logue between Joseph Surface and Lady Teazle is the recast of a fine reflection in "Zadig and consciously or unconsciously Tom Jones and BliBI must have influenced the conception of Charles and Joseph Surface. "With regard to the charges about shipwreck, wrote Lord Byron to Murray, "I think I told you and Mr. Hobhouse years ago thai there was not a single circumstance of it not taken from fact not, indeed, from any single shipwreck." So little was Tasso ashamed of occasional imitations of other poets, or iBC9rporated details from history, that"in his commentary on his "Rome" he takes

pains to {joint out all coincidences of the kind in his own poems. Scott lays particular stress, in his preface, on the fideli-

ty with which he has followed the narra lives and traditions on which his romances are almost uniformly based, but he forgot to note tbat the scene in "Kenilworth," where Amy is kneeling before Leicester, and asking him about his orders of knighthood, was copied from the "Egmont" of Goethe. Balzac has appropriated for one of hia novels an entire chapter of "The Disowned. Lamartine has been tracked to (gleaning grounds, which he hoped to visit incognito, by Sainte-Beuve. Dr. Ferrier has unsparingly represented the poaching propensities of Sterne, who, besides making free with Rabelais and Burton, has been indirectly the means of bringing more than one author from obscurity by stealing from him- Iiord Brougham left a translation of Voltaire's "Memnon. on la Sagesse Humaine" to be published as an original composition of nis own, and his executor, entering fully into the spirit of tbe testator, has puplished it as be left it, without a hint, happily without suspicion, of its quality. One of the fine images with which Canning wound np his peroration on the indemnity bill of 1818, was certainly anticipated by Mme. de Stael. The embryo of Macaulay's "New Zealander" has been discovered in Horace Walpole's "Curious Traveler from Lima," and the Theodora of "Lothair" bears so strong a resemblance to the Olympia of "Half

Million of Money" as to raise a compromising conviction of identity. "But these are trifles," continues the Quarterly Review. "On one of the most solemn and memorble occasions within living memory, in expressing, as the leader of tbe Bouse of Commons, the national feelling of gratitude and admiration for tbe hero of a hundred fights, Mr. Disraeli took bodily and boldly, without the change of a word, rather more than a third of his oration from the translation of an article in a French review on a French Marshal by IL Thiers."

THE progress of the Democratic party towards Greeley is happily expressed is this calendar, framed by a ootemporaiy
