TBS PABALLBL8 OT AB HOBDBBD TBABS.
We very often bear gentlemen of th*
elderly aoMMr of politics lamenting th*
absence of the amanita* which ones ohar-
eetsrtged the gratae off the uMnSwld
parti** that la anooemion ruled th* conn-
try, oad tha ability and oourtaay with
whiah editorial warfare was taflRatad.
Forensic debate then, they aay, win modi
fied by the graoea of a proud, brave and
gtotla naiahood, and newspaper diaoua-
siona with tha dignity end oendor
becomes polite aooiety. Ifndh
of the glamour of th* past has,
> swept away under the sway
of the. truthful historian, who searches
for feat, and ia not controlled by tha mar*
loriae of others who linger ia th* miata
of tha past, and to whom distano* lands
enchantment. Who of the ordinary alee*
*f reader* Mould believe that th* Grant
Washington was abased as a treasury
thief, ay* even traitor daring hi* Presi
dency by th* papers of th* opposition;
yet it is a fact, be astonished aa yon may.,
Men are the same always. W* rather
draw now tbe distinction* more delicately
than in th* “good old days” over which
age lingers ao fondly and reoannla aa an
inspiration of hop* and troth to th* youth
and manhood of th* present.
A few instanoea of the modes of those
old times may b* interesting :
Washington, in 1795, endorsed th*
treaty which Jay had negotiated with
Great Britain, and urged it* ratifloation
by th* Senate. The opposition not only
disparaged the merits of Washington aa a*
soldier and a statesman, bat violently at
tacked bia personal oharsotar. He was
actnally aoousad of having overdrawn hia
salary and appropriating the money to
hia private nae, and that h* ahonld b*
impeached for antkorixing tbs nagotialion
of a treaty without previously consulting
the Senate, because in doing so he bed
violated tbe Conaliintion. Prominent
advooates of the treaty ware burned in
effigies in Boston and Philadelphia.
Won* followed. After tbe ratification
of the treaty by tbe Senate, the House by
resolution claimed its assent was neoeasa-
ry to tbe ratification of a treaty of oom-
meres and demanded of Ibe President a
copy of tbe Jay instructions and othsr
doonmenta relating to the subject. Wash
ington refused to aeoede, saying a jnat
regard for the duties of his office forbade
a compliance. A fnriona debate ensured
for fifteen days, in whioh Washington
caught it hot and heavy from tha “pa
triots.” Resolutions praotioaliy endors
ing him finally paused by s very dose
vote.
Whan ha ran tha second time for Presi
dent, it wu even alleged he was a traitor
and in ascrat alliance with England.
Certain questions uked by him of tha
Cabinet being made public, war* da-
nounoed beautifully in the papers. Per
fidy and ingratitude were stamped on
their front. “They were s stupendous
monnment of degeneracy,” end similar
expressions were plentiful.
When he had served his seoond term
and was oa hi* way home an opposition
paper said of him:
Th* man who ia the eonroe of all the
misfortunes of our oouutry is this day ro-
dnoad to a level with hia fellow citizens,
and is no longer possessed of power to
multiply evila npon the United Htstas. If
ever there wu a period for rejoioing, this
is the moment. Every heart in tiuiaon
witbtb* freedom and happiness of the
people ought to beat high with exultation
that tbe name of Washington from this
day oaasea to give aurrenoy to political
iniquity anil legalized corruption. Nefa
rious projects cun no longer be supported
by a name. It ia a sabjeot of the giwat-
eat astonishment that a single individual
ahonld have parried his designs against
tha public liberty ao far as to have pnt in
jeopardy its very existence. Such, how
ever, ere tbe facts, and with these staring
na in the fece this day ought to be a jubi
lee in tba United Statu.
This wu tbs msnuer th* opposition
spoke of the Father of his oouotry. It
oould hardly be improved upon in these
“degenerate days"—Wuhington wu not
ao intensely loved in thou “good old
timu" u onr school histories teaches.
Th* patriots had aa sharp tongues and
cross, vixaniah pens u onr “ootrnpt nine
teenth century" brethren, end that age
would probably have developed Belknap*,
Robeson* and Grants, if the polite and
honored forefather* had bed the keenness
and honesty to follow ap the trail end
thoroughly investigate matter* u they do
in theae latter times.
While Pauldent, Wuhington wrote t
letter to Jefferaou, in whioh this occurs:
'To this I may add that until (he lost
year or two I had no oonoeptiou that par
tiu would or oonld go to th* lengths 1
have been witness to; nor did I believe
until lately that it wu within the bounds
of probability—hardly within thou
possibility—that while I wu using my
moat exertions to establish a national
oharsotar of our own, and wished, by
steering e steady coat**, to preserve this
oountry from tbs horrors of a devastating
war, I ahonld b* aoousad of being th* en
emy of onr nation and subject to th* in-
flneos* of another; and to prove U, that
every aot of my administration would b#
tortnrad, and th* grossest and most ia-
aidtona misrepresentations of them be
made by giving one aid* only of a sub
ject, and that, too, in snob exaggerated
and indecent terms u oould soarcely be
applied to a Nero—to a notorious default
er, or even a oommon piokpooket.”
It la really refreshing to know that
they did thus things in the “purer day*''
of the republic. It gives na th* satisfac
tion of hoping that the machinations of
Blaine, Horton A Go's, attack* on the
Bonth may prodaea a reaotion in the
Northern mind and tha bright rays of
troth may yat reveal thair hateful work
ings and bo oontemned, and thair falsity
displayed *0 dearly u to result in a grand
Demooratio triumph. They have abused,
villified the Booth u bitterly u thou
false “patriots" did Washington, and they
may yat be u badly defeated by th* pop
ular will u his snemiu were overcome,
and that qoiokly too. Vituperation snob
a* they iadalge in most reooil on those
who otter it.
In this comparison there ia no kind of
parallel between Great end Washington.
The Utter wu sustained by men of both
parties, and men of honor nod integrity.
Great* ia held ia power only by the brat*
fore* of a party majority ia tba Senate.
Th* Hons*, elected by th* direct vote of
the people, is utterly
to him end his meunru, showing
Th* Deflate ia only held by the party
lash. In this case Grant ia opposed not
on aooount of any party measure, but be-
oauaa of his, appototslants, and firmly
olinging to W4WWto, fbr villainy, have
bean sentenced to the penitentiary. Q*
amp porta tba vary waasl characters in th*
United Diets* with all the power of public
patronage. Washington wu not influenced
by smllaual IMOv ThXonth receive* ell
the abom, end this ia tya parallel to be
drawn.
UIICBAL MOVING BAT.
Hay lat U the general tim* ia Raw York.
Never before ia the history of tbe city
have so many house horse th* ominous
bills “to let” and “for ule” on their
front*. Thee* bills, aeye the Herald, are
aot oonflnsd to any elan of houses, yet
they lie particularly noticeable on the
doorways of third-rate house*, whioh rent
at from $800 to $1,506 e year. It seams
that (ha people, owing to tha hard timu,
are moving out of these houses, not being
able to pay th* rents, end are oontentiag
themselves with ths occupation of single
floors, whioh offsets a sensible redaction
in their axpensu. Long lenses ware op
to the eloaa of the war a mis, now thay
era ths axeeptioa. A five years' lease mu
an ordinary thing ^a business nntil 1866 ;
now tha iron hu entered the soul of those
Mho have to rent houses, rest estste
owners era in tha depths of despair, and
rants have had to fall perforce. The
landlord is anxious to aak tha same rent
that ha did five years ago ; hat th* family
who held a whole hone* and its accommo
dations u aeoeultlea, which they oonld
not exist without, are compelled to do
with one-third of the room end to dis
charge any servants that they have em
ployed. The Frenoh flat system hu had
its effect also, though in reality there Is
little gained u far u economy ia oon-
osroed by ths new eystem. Th* landlord,
who never loess oonrage, still has the
temerity to uk for u high rent as ever;
bnt the tenant's argument 1* non pouu-
mui. He doea not quarrel u of yore—he
■Imply luvea the honse end seeks apart
ments at a more moderate rent, and snob
is the ebnndanoe of honse room that it
rsqnirea bnt little trouble to snit himself.
Tenants tbis year have bean vsry earn
est in their demands to havs their rents
rsdnosd, and have threatened to leave old
aasooiatioaa sooner then submit to whet
they deemed to be extravagant rata*.
And ia many hundred instances the land
lords havs bean forced to give in end re
does their rents to save good tenants from
leaving thair houses. Thus mutual oom-
promisas have bun effeoted.
Falsi Rifobts.—Several of tha papers
of Georgia, notably opposed to Governor
Bmitb, are industriously busy in cireola-
latiag tbe report that onr paopl* ue
against tha dalagates to tha St. Lonis
Convention, end that they wero manipu
lated to snit contingencies. Any man of
common una* would know from tba very
nature of (kk appointment* such a courts
would be itnpMSible. In this district
there wu none, and oonld not b*; and
ths anna condition muethave existed elss-
whara. If not, the influence of Governor
Smith must be most popular and powerful
in Georgia, Th* editore charging the
fraud admit hie popularity with the great
masses of th* Btste, for it wu thair fault
if the people ware aot folly advised of
th* intended manipulation. Try some
other took.

Thus oleriotl scandals have, unhappily,
become too freqnefat of late. They htv|e

or any seotion, any more than sin is lim

ia it not wtll to inquire whether others
are not to' blame besides the priests of

and disgrace upon their saerad calling?
A young sod talented minister is called
upon to take oharge of * oburob in h
strange community. In every obnrch
women ere nensily the most aselons and
eatbosisatin of members. They are

by the eloquence of tbe new putor. They
spoil him with attention and flattery ;
they seek his society and bsre their
hurts to hia visw, little thinking of tbe
temptations which they offer and the
danger* they incur. Ministers ue bat man.
They have tbe frailties and tbs passions
of their fellow-men. The graoa of God
end the power bf religions discipline may
have enabled them to shbdne their incli
nations and hold their desires in oheok.
Bnt they are only human, and when sub
jected to strong temptations they may fall
in spits of their piety, in spite of their
own WiU, jdat u tha chosen servants of
God have fallen before, and jnst as they
