We are Riad to -seo that a sufficient number

The Great Eastern must now 1m? near her des?

have Usen any anxiety in England for her
?safety ; but it is assuring to leam that fche was
Kjtoken by another vessel a month after her de?

The most striking feature of the Womnn's
S ti Ara gc campaign at Washington is re? ned
for tho last. We print on the second page
this morning a careful and very interesting
accouut of the interview between tho Commit?
tee from the Woman's Suffrage Convention and
the Joint Committees of tho. House and Senato
of tbe District of Columbia. If Umso excellent
women do not appear to bo good advantage
when subjected to the calm cross-examination
of the Committee as they did in the midst of
their imperious eloquence on the platform,
they must not charge the blame of it upon us.
Mr. James Fisk, jr., figures at large length
in our columns this morning. Ho paints
the portraits of several persous with in?
different success. He succeeds very ill in
attempting to daub the President, though ho has
fair suceess in making known his precise and
accurate opinion of the President's brother-in
law. Ho fails lamentably in bis descrip?
tion of tbe "Uaion League fellows," and
cannot be said to bo entirely accurato in bis
portraits of Mr. Jay Gould, or Gen.
Butterfield, or Mr. Speyers, or any?
body else whom he mentions, save one. He
does mako a very accurate portrait of James
Fisk, jr. Withal, his testimony has a refresh?
ing na?vet? about it which will mako it tho
most interesting feature of to-day's news.
It makes many things in the great Gold Con?
spiracy seem a trifle plainer and moro coherent,
but it cannot be said to add much to the sum
of our positive knowledge on the subject.
Wo print ou the next page the proceedings
of the Cartuien of our city who deem themselves
aggrieved by a recent order from Collector
Grinnell designating the manner in which the
carting of goods while they are under the con?
trol of the Custom-IIouse shall be done. There
aro plausible reasons for the new rule; and
yet we suspect its adoption might belter have
been forborne; for the Collector has stirred up
a hoi net's nest, and will be apt to hear from
it for many days yet. The fact that a parti?
san aspect is given to the matter?that Ropuh
licaii8 only are to be employed as cartmeii hcie
after?makes it wear a repulsive aspect. We
want to pass Mr. Jeuckes's Civil Service bill,
and thus restrict the sphere of partisanship in
public .?-flairs; but this rule extends it. Must
proscription descend at length to boot-blacks
and laundresses ?
We pray the aggrie? ed merchants and cartnien
to unite with us in demanding the utter al-oli
tion of the Warehousing system. It is full of
iniquity, and ever must be. Let all goods re?
main on shipboard till the duties are paul; and
then the owner may give tbe carting ol' them
to whomsoever he will.
TUE RESTORATION OF CIRC IXI A.
In April last, the present Congress saw fit
to pass a bill providing for submitting to
a vote of the People of Virginia tho Constitu?
tion which liad been framed for her by a Con?
vention chosen by her electors, whereof a large
majority were Republicans; and that Constitu?
tion was such as they (chose to make. Tho
terms and conditions of submission were all
dict.ited and shaped by the Republican majori?
ty in Congress; no one else had aught to say
respecting them, and they were agreed to by
the votes of Republicans alono. Bj these con?
ditions, the President was authorized to "sub
"mit separately snell provisions as he may deem
"best;" and he accordingly submitted ?sepa?
rately those provisions only which proscribed
and excluded from office such Virginians as had
taken a prominent part in tho late Rebellion.
The election was held accordingly ; and, wbije
the Constitution was ratified by an nlinost
unanimous vot?, the proscriptive clauries were
voted down by a large majority, carrying with
them the State Ticket which was claimed to be
the regular Republican. The ticket actually
chosen was partly composed ot undoubted Re?
publicans, partly of persons not previously
Republicans, but nil avowedly favorable to tho
XVth Amendment and to Gen. Grant's Admin?
istration. All the Members of Congu-ss chosen
were such as could take the oath of consist? nt
loyalty required of thom.
Part of tho members chosen to the State
Legislature had been Rebels: so tim question
was raised by the defeated party?"Can tlicso
"8ervet or are they excluded?" Tb? question
?vas brought before the President, and by bim
submitted to his Attorney-General?a Massa?
chusetts mau, B hereditary Abolitionist, and a
jurist of unquestioned ability and integrity.
He, after due deliberation, decided that they
could 6crvo?that there was no legal obstacle
thereto. We quote from his opinion (of Aug.
Mt- last) as follows:
" By the stauito of April m. 18C9, the registered voters
of Virginia ware auttwi'i?ed to vote on the ?.uretioii of
the adoption of a Constitution for the -tate, atid u*. tin
same tune to elect oflloers tinder it, aubject to the up
pint .ti of Congress. The vote has beeu Liken In pursu?
ance of the provisions of the act, and tho ?Ionian held,
and some parta of the Constitution aubnilttcd have been
adopted by the people, ami others rejected. The parts
of the proposed Conetltutlou thus adoptad, If they shall
be approved by Congres.?, will bo the Constitution of Vir?
ginia, under which all Its officers will be re'.uircd to act ;
and the qualifications, as well as the ?bules, of those on?
cers will be determintkd by It. When Virginia Is r?:stored
to ita proper relation! to the country as a Ktute of the
Union, its officers and I-egUlature will be such as the Con?
stitution of the Hute provides, deriving their powers
from that Instrument; and It will clearly not be lu the
power of Congress to impose any requirement of addi?
tional' qualifications upon them difreimt from those
which, under the Constitution ol tho United Ht ates.
may bo required in all the Statis. If, thara
fore, any test? were to be imposed ?pou meru'iei? or tho
Legislature not provided by tho Constitution of Virginia?
or any restriction imposed upon the. pet.pi?, of the ?State
lu their choice of officers not recognized by It, uii?l nut
made applicable under the legitimate power of Cutigiiss
to all the .-states, the l."g:*iliituie and ofbcoTi wculS not,
In my opinion, t?o the I-ogislaturc and ?.fllecri of Virginia
under Its CoiiBtltutlCiD. I do not ino Hint Congi e?s cm
iiiiil?i!.ike to furniah the Htitle with it suitable legisla,
turo to sturt with, or to einreise any cotitrul over Its
conipoMltuii which ?oul.l not be exercised over subso'
quent legislatures. I am, therefore, of opinion thuttho
oath prcsoribed by the statute of ISC-, and hy the statute
of July 1?, i?>~"*, chapter no, section 9, required to bo taken
by all petrolia 'elected or ni pointed to ? ?lilt o lu laid mill
tary district*, under auy so-called K'Titi or municipal
authority,' ia not to bo icquircd of the ofllcers of the
Stat? ?>f Virginia, ?t members of the Ix guiatur* eleotvU
under its in w Constltutlou."
?Thus instructed and guided by the highest
law olficcr of the Government, whose opinion
was adopted and ucted on by the President,
the Legislature met, organized, ratified the
XVth Amendment without dissent, cboae loyal
U. ?S. Senators, and adjourned to await the
action of Congress, as had been virtually
directed from Washington.
Congress met on tho 4th of December ; and
Virginia Btill awaits -Remission to rea um? her
properplaceinthoCouucilsof the Union. Noone
doubts that she has done all that was required
of her by the act of last March, na expounded
to bcr by the Attomey-GeBeral ; but still her
admission is dslsyed, and nsw exactions, new
cavila, ieterposed from day to day. In tho
H ??ino, ibe-K* wera overborne under the lead of
Mr. Btagfcaffl of Ohio; tho Senate talked, and
tnlketf, until the patience of the country was
e\liau*ted; and then imposed new and hsrsh
conditions which seem to us a violation of the
faith of Congres? implied in the requirements
of last March. Hy these conditions, it is
"Prmidrd, That, before anv member of the Uetalstare
of sal?! Watt? shall take or roatinio his seal, or any oflli <T
of said ?tate shall enter upon Hie duties of lils oflti-r. he

passage of this act, to take, subscribe, and file ?inli on! li
as aforesaid, shall Ik. ?loomed mid t-kcu lo all lutontB and
purposes to have vacated his office."
?The eflect of this provision will bo to ex?
clude from tho present Legislature a consider?
able proportion of its members faiily chosen,
after they have voted to ratify both tho XlVth
and XVth Amendments, and havo done every?
thing required of them by the opinion of
Attorney-General Hoar. And it must for some
time disorganize that Legislature, and perhaps
give the majority therein to the party beaten
at tho late election. And all for what! Who
dreams that any good can come, of this to the
country or to the Republican party t
Those who like such doings are at liberty to
approvo them; MO do not, and shall not try.
They seem to us just of a piece with the con?
duct of the Democrats of Georgia in expelling
the Colored members from her Legislature,
though thoso members had allowed proscrilnd
Hebels to tako their seats without objection.
Wo hold that good faith and sound policy
aliko required that the representatives of Vir?
ginia should have been welcome?! to seats in
either House without cavil or hesitation, and
that the Legislature should at once havo been
reassembled and tho State Government put
into full operation. If that Legislature had
tlieiciipon acted in luid faith, after tha Georgia
pattern, Congress has power to set it right, us
has just been done in th?. ca.se of Georgia : but
tliosc who walk uprightly should not suspect
ticachery WOMBO none has been shown to exist.
In a few days, a Colored Senator from
Mississippi, representing her whole people, will
take the seat vacated by JeoYoiOOB Davis when
he went home to lead the Rebellion, and will,
as unanimously instructed by tho Legislature
which elected him, ask Congress to relieve
every Mississippian from all disabilities or
proscriptions growing out of the Rebellion.
We shall cling to tho hopo that ho will be able
to inspire willi magnanimity even the breast
of Charles ?Sunnier; but it grieves us moro than
wo can express to realize that there is need of
commending liberality, good sense, and practi?
cal statesmanship, to the acceptance of Henry
Wilson,_
THE NEW PEXTilES1 LEA.
When Sir Harnett Skittles encountered poor
littles Mr. Paps at Dr. ."limber's hall-yeaily Re
ception, whe.ro tb?< hour waa half past seven
o'clot'k and where the object was quadrilles,
and when Mr. llajis, with a look of unfathom?
able piofuudity, inquired of bim, "What are
" we to do with our raw materials when they
" come into port in tatara for our drain of
" gold T" the groa! man explained his theory
with admirable succinctness. " Hut suppose,"
pursued Mr. Baps, out of a deeper depth
of linaneial intelligence, "suppose Russia steps
"in with her tallows I" Sir Harnett, not hav?
ing contemplated the situation lo the light of
Russia's tallow, complacently responded that
then we must fall back upon our agricultural
resource., ho supposed. Hut hearing Mr. Haps,
immediately after, asking "What are WO to do
"with our raw material*, when they come
"into port in retata for our drain of
" gold t" of Mr. T?iots (who responded "Cook
"'em"), the distinguished Parliamentarian
wa? moved to say to Dr. Hlimber
that Mr. Hups was plainly a remarkable man,
a mau of science, a man of ligures ! Where?
upon Dr. Hlimber was driven deprccatingly
to admit that he was indeed ?1 man ol' ligures?
"in short, Sir Harnett, our professor of
"dancing!'' Whereupon, again, Sir Harnett
glowered al the wretched cooajpirator for the
rest of the evening as if be bad been (?uy
I'awkes himself.
This apologue has frequently commended it?
self to us, but uever so forcibly as when we
heard, some weeks ago, of the advent of two
young women iu Wall-st. as' stock operators.
Two professor? of figures trying to lind out
what wo should do with our raw materials,
Toots's of imbecility nt every corner, Skittle?'?
of society in every window, to remind them of
their dancing days, and sneer down their aspi?
rations! Alter all, there was nothing really to
surprise one. Hoad i cea in her chariot dri?
ving over 'the slain, Mis. Woodhull in her
coupe following the rise or tho ruin,
of speculations?in both behold tho femi?
nine thirst for power and glory at the expense
of somebody else! Not that we object. Hut
we are forever getting new light on the Actual
Woman, and finding out bow ?lillerent she is
from the Ideal Woman in whom the world has
believ?al, us a churchman iu the Virgin, for 1111
nuiiilkcred yearB. What gracious illusions WO
lose by the illumination we will not biro
pause to consider. Wo certainly mai.?- bonie
gains. It is proved that tho Actual Woman,
for instance, has capacities for sound anil
fury, unpleasant in themselves, bal sif-tti
fying a superfluity of energy Beck?
ing some MiOlcicut use. It is proved
that she has great infrcnuity in transferring the
peace Of the money-making sex to her own
c?.11? rs, as witness the feminin??tve had almost
wiitteii the diabolical?arts of tho cliarity-fair
and charity-ball and chan'ty-ralllo business. It
is proved that she lins a geuius for managing
men, as witness the daily history of every
household. Now all lliese unmistakable
talents being misapplied, great waste and dis?
comfort ensue. Wo have conventions, bazaars
for comatose churches, domestic differences as
a result. The mutches are laid away
for safe keeping and bandines? in the
powder-keg. Every woman who linds an inter.
? sting, secure, and honest vocation is enabled
thus to pr?vido a safo for the matchei, and a
vault foi the powder-keg.
The enterprising linu of Woodhull, ('billin
At Co., having, if we may say bo, skirmished
along the line for some mouths, proposes to
enter the numerous und preteriiatiirallj activo

.Some of our newspapers apparently need to
b? reminded that Prince Arthur, who it at
present visiting this country, is neither re?
sponsible nor culpable for being ft son of the
(..Mu cn of I'.nplitinl, and it scion of one of the
gnat governing dynasties of the world. If it
be enckneyish and iin-Amctic.in to indulge in
snobbery on the appearance of a Prince, it is
iiii less un-American find mean to hold any
man, even a Pi ince, responsible for the "a-cci
" dent of his birth.''
Prince Arthur has not made tho slighest dis?
play of any royal jin tensions on coming to the
l.intcd States. His advent was not heralded,
except by our own enterprising telegraphic
??m respondent. II?* came here quietly, and put
np ?it a hotel, where he was lodged on the third
door. He was dressed, as the reporters have
tal?? u the pains to tell us, in a style suited to
an ordin?r}' gentleman. He has behaved him?
self in a manner entirely becoming and modest.
The Prince has not como hero to seek
any honors, and wo feel quito sure he
desires no hospitality beyond that which
is ordinarily accorded to travelers. It is un?
derstood that, beside his entertainment by the
British Minister, he has been invited to dine
by the President and the Secretary of Siale ;
*??..l wo I...VO i... tli.ulat time. these courtesies
will be duly appreciated. Tho l!iiti?!i Minis?
ter has also taken the occasion to give a bull,
at which come 500 guests will bo present.
The Prince has promised to attend our own
Charity Hall at the Academy of Music ; and
it is likely that there may be some other so?
cial festivities during his visit. Hut what was
ho to do about such matters 1 Should he have
declined tho President's invitation ? Should
he havo refused to be present at the ball in
" Ma-sonic Hall?"
In short, Prince Arthur, in coming here, is to
be regarded simply as a young gentleman on
hi*, travels, and is to be treated with courtesy
nml respect, so long as he does nothing to show
that he does not deserve them. If llunket ism
be out of place, on the one hand, so are all
ineanucAs, vulgarity, and impertinence, on the
other. Kvery newspaper should understand
this, m it is evideutly uudciotood by the body
of the A?ri?an peopl?-.
A SLPEER Gil I.
For many years past, scholars have known of
the existence in this city of n private library
and gallery of marvelous value,coinpiising col?
lections of uneqiialed importance in several de?
partments of literature, and containing ti? a?
nits of ?lit whose Worth could Dot he computed
by dollars, or compared with any that cxi?t< ?1
elsewhere in the country. It has b? ? n known
that an American gentleman who was boin to
fortune, mid who is a scholar and student ot
high cnlture, hud devoted forty years of hu
ba? lu lor life to the formation of what he Iitiit
sell has authorized to be designated as a " Col?
lection of manuscripts, print? ?1 book*?, engra?
vings und maps, statuary, paintings, draw nits,
and other woiks of art.-' It was known that?
to employ a phrase which has almost entirely
lost its meaning by repetition and misuse?he
hail " spared neither time, labor nor expense"'
to obtain whatever was ot the highest value in
the literature or archaology of those special
studies to which he hud devoted his attention.
As ho possessed tho habits of a recluse with
the tastes of a scholar, tliere'wcie but few even
of his more intimate acquaintances in scholar
ship who ? v?r had had itnjthing like a full
coiiiprthcusion of tho value ot his collec?
tions, mid it is doubtful whether uny
b???ly but himself could make u catalogue
of his library, or give a statement of his treas?
ures. It conveys no idi-a lo say that in the de?
partment of early ?American history?rcf? i nug
to the times of tho Spanish, Knglish, Piiiich,
and Dutch explorations, conquest, and go\ein
ni?:iit--his library contains niau rial, literary ami
urclui-ologicul, of gn atcr volume mid value than
all tho other collections in the country; that
among his documents ni?, many of a conse?
quence no U-ss than the oiiginal manuscripts
of the letters and journals of Columbus ; that
there are many books invaluabL* to the student
of which he has tho sole copy in existence;
that theio are muny historical fragments?and
inonumenta that ho lins gathered and cl.issi?ed
with a patieuco ami assiduity which aro uo
common feature? in the cliauctcr of Ameiicau
m hel?is. It would convey no idea to refer, in
a passiug way, to his collection of emly Amcii
cau theology, his collection of Hibles, among
which, wo bcliov/. *8 t0 bo found one of tim
three or four existing copies of the Mazarin
Millie, his Hibhological manuscripts, his sculp?
turesque collection, embracing many iuvuliiablo
antiques, his collection ?Jof pictures, including
originals of the old Italian, Spanish, and Dutch
muht??-?, gg well ?a the moro modern niasteft,
?uch as Turner, iii whoso works he I? particu?
larly rich. In fact, it will lie iii. posai bio to
ifiv? the public, or eren acholara ?ml eonnoit
n ort. mu idea of Uni impoiuncti of il? .i? roi
lections, until the possessor himself has taken
the initiative in making it known.
It is b< cause of the inoccmailulity of ihis
lilu-try and g.Jlery that so little has lu cn
known of tin-ill. Dining the long p? rio?l oi
their collection, the owner has gaBBiad them
with a jealousy and rigor which luiv?* effectually
discouraged all attempts of outsiders to enter
the sailed pt erin? ts. In former years, wc be?
lieve, he wa* accustomed to invite, from time
to lune, small and ??-lect bodies of scholars to
view his new acquisitions; but we understand
that this has been an extremely rare 00COT
rence in recent times. De had reasons for this
course that c?tuld ouly be appreciated by a
scholar; but, it was always known, to those who
knew anything of the mau himself, that they
were based on neither sclti-liness nor egotism.
Persons who were discomfited io their attempts
to penetrate the arcanum often indulged them?
selves in vigorous denunciation of its watchful
guardian. We have heard artist? and authors
deny tho ri{jht of any man to keep such treas?
ures from the public gaze; ami wo remember
that, soiuo years ago, a well-kuown popular
preacher dashed the vials of his wrath against
the determined millionaire who bad positively
refused bim admittance to the treasure-house.
Hut theso things never nf.ccte?! the owner,
who had his own idea and feeling about the
matter, and his own purpose in regard to it.
In now coining forward to oller this supeib
library and gallery au, a gift to the people ot
this city, the collector and owner, Mr. James
Lenox, has won the gratitude of tha public
and especially of American scholars. Wecon'-l
make no attempt to indicate or e?timat?' the
value of the oil"? ring, for, .'is we have said, it
is inestimable; but relicta wo are that the act
Of tho donor will be a;>a < ??atcd by the classes
who have occasion to Know its worth. We
will not mako ?my eOBiparisoil betwOOB this
gift ?im! that of the Alton, or thooi of Bay
other public benefactors in tin? dir?*?-lion ; bat
wo are quite suie that, when opt aed tja the
public, Mr. Lenox's offering will bo fottod to
p(>??s<'S8 a value of it? own, uuequaled by thal
of any other collection in the country.
The act incorporating the Trustees of the
Lenox Library passed both branches of th??
Stat?- Legislature last week. II appears by this
act that not only has Mr. Lenox ?tiered his
collections as a freo public gift, but that, in
addition, he has offered stn li real estate in the
vicinity of the Central Hark as may lie n-quired
for B site, and, still further, the sum of fflXM-OO
in money, Of this sum two-thirds ure to be
expended in the erection of a building suitable
for tho collection, and the remainder is to be
used in defraying the iie?-es?sary expenses of
keeping, and in such other ways as may accord
with the doiiofs design?the delivering of
public lectures, for example, being cxpiessly
specified. We understand that the work of
ereetiog tho building will Ik? begun within a
reasonable time, and wo may expect, before
three years have passed away, to have the long
bidden treasures of the Lenox collection publicly
< psaed to the view and for the service of
American scholars and students.
On Saturday afternoon there ran through
the town a wild rumor of a fresh atrocity, a
rumor coming no one knew whence, but estab?
lish? ?1 in the mouths of a thousand self-con?
stituted witnesses. It declared that James
Fi-k, stock gambler, bad been shot in the
street by John Morrissey, ex-prize-fighter,
proprietor of faro-banks, and member of Con?
gress. It declared, furthermore, that Fisk had
cheated Monissey out of large sums of money
la the late gold excitement, that Morrissey ?had
threatened to pno Lah hita publicly unless ho made
restitution, and that the killing was as delib?
erate ?is the threat of public chastisciueut had
1 BO. TWO hours later the whole story proved
a canard, hatched, probably, by some uiisciu
pulous reporter.
Hut the talc has a moral. Commonly | mur?
derer so .shocks the moral sense of the commu?
nity by the cowardice and the malignity of his
net th.it public sentiment is disposed to defend,
if not to vindicate, the victim so brutally de?
prived of the opportunity of self-defense. Yet
when this report was at its strongest the
business world received it with a mild acquies?
cence in the fitness of the agent to his horrible
wauk, if not with positive and expressed
satisfaction. Nobody seemed horror-stricken,
nobody cried out for retaliation in blood. No
doubt this apathy or carelessness was due in
patt to the convocation of horrors which has of
late .sick? ned, disgusted, or appalled the com?
munity, one woo treading upon another's
heels, so fast they followed. Hut an
explanation beyond this lies in ?the feeling
of the public that James Fisk is | man whoso
hand is ogainit cveiy man'?; in the feeling
of the public that I man who made sport of
coiiinioii bonesly, of truth, of decency, in his
own life and iu his dealings with men, living
literally an outlaw, in some sort satisfied the
claims of society upon him in dying the death
of an outlaw. It isa test of the hollowness of
the " suce?sa" which this mau bad achieved
that BOBOdj, cared for him living, and nobody
mourned him dead. It is a meet startling com?
mentary on the recklessness of public sentiment
and the mockery of justice which pervade the
time that his own woild was neither shocked
nor Bin prised.
