and papa soon to be arraigned for the

That doctrine of “ moral suasion ” with
schoolboys is a myth and absurdity. It
is like throwing grass at the urchin in
the apple tree, and only excites his ridi
cule. There is a certain amount of com-
bativeness in the ersniums and composi
tion of hoys which must be met with
assault and battery too. in the sound ap
plication of the birch and ferule, if we
keep the ball in motion, and people can’t
and won’t buy their merchandise, if they
don’t fans what they hare to sell.
Hence the careful an 1 shifty dealer has
"line upon lint,’’ and is erer telling the
story of the great bargains he can offer,
and th* beantzful things he can almost
give away for a small consideration in
cash. The eager public read, and resolve
to «i for themselves, and then it U the
fault of the merchant alone if he fails to
sell to them.
But there is still another class who ex

and money devoted to advertising is

Most Mclanelioly.
Tho only sad thought that obtrude*
itself upon tho general gratification and
thankfulness at the escape of the country
from the evils of war is. that so much
thrilling Congressional eloquence will bo
lost to history and an admiring world.
There were, at a moderate calculation, at
least two hundred and ninety, of tho two
hundred and ninety-two members of tho
lower houso. and seventy of the seventy-
four senators, ehargod to tho lips, brim-
full of "thought* that breathe and words
that buru," to lie nvnlnnched upon tho
country next week: but who are now,
alas! doomed to bitterest disappoint
ment. Tho child Is not to be born—tho
national bird is to bo allowed to rest in
peace a littjo while longer. What a mel
ancholy reflection, to be sure. We sym
pathise with the sufferers, but we sup
pose tho country can stand it. It almost
moves us to tears, though, to think of the
anguish of some of the disappointed ora
tors. Such an opportunity for gush—
such an opening for poppycock—such a
good excuse for slopping over, has never
been hold so near tho lips of tho average
American demagogue, only to be rudely
snatched away. We shall not be sur
prised to hear that Congress insists upon
indemnity from Spain for acceding to the
demands of the Federal Government, and
thus spoiling their opportunity for wrap-
pingthemselves in tho American flag, and
going to glory on tho wings of tho Amer
ican eagle.
Traile In New York.
The Philadelphia Ledger's New York
letter give* some encouraging reports of
tho retail trade revival in New York.
The letter says: “ City trade, as regards
the retailer*, has been, on the whole,
rather more satisfactory last week than
during its predecessor. People are less
inclined to hoard money than they were
during the panic, while tho general
shrinkage in Talues presents new tempt
ations to buy. As a result of tho mark
ing down of prices by the leading houses,
there is everywhere a recognition of
lower prices, particularly for dry goods,
and this attracts custom. There may be
no profits resulting, but if there are no
losses shopkeepers consider that they are
doing well. As the holidays draw near
the jewelers and dealers in fancy goods
report business a little more active,
though customers all expect an abate
ment in prices."
Coiisrrcss anti tho Message.
Congress meets to-morrow, and our
next issue will probably contain the Pres
ident’s massage. The settlement of the
Spanish difficulty will, however, divest it
of any special interest, and it will not bo

ment has pfawp—d that the question of
the right of the seizure shall be le.t to
arbitration, and that the vassal be not
surrendered to the United State* until an
award is male. Tins is all thaAonghttO
bo a-Aed; and as our oricinid demand is
ir.-isted on. it ia evident our Government
| is endeavoring to bully Spun into an un
conditional and humiliating surrender.

that Secretary Fish knows wh. to kick.

of the mind may be wrought upon for
good, in dealing with these gentle crea
tures.
But the stubborn, irrepressible, defiant,
mischievous, truculent pnpil of the mas
culine gender, who will load his teacher’s
pipe with gunpowder, bar him out of his
own premises, dig.pitfalls for him, attack
him in ambush with rotten eggs, and
sos’i learn the difference between a pro
noun and a verb, but is mi/ait in robbing
fruit orchards, smashing window-panes,
plucking live chickens, shaving hones’
tails, unhanging gates, and every other
diablerie, must have administered to him
the argvmentum ad homines*, the final ap
peal to reason, in the shape of summary
flagellation. Talk of moral suasion and the
power of kind word* to such specimens
of American pluck and independence, and
yon might a* well Bing psalms to a dead
horse as attempt thus to influence them.
They will listen to you with long faces
mid lachrymose eyes, and then ere your
back is turned, apply the thumb to the
nose with that peculiar motion of tbo fin
gers. to indicative of derision and con
tempt. So. as long as boys continue to
be boys, hickory switches and leather
straps will form an essential ingredient
in their education. As far as tho writer
is concerned, he believes in selecting
teachers of known probity and correct
principles for his children, and then they
are made to know that there is no power
behind the throne. Ordinary complaints
aud talcs out of school arc treated with
indifference, or the young ones catch
whipping number tuo at home. More
than half the youth of tho country are
irreparably injured by tho injudicious in
terference of parent.* with the discipline
of the school-room. It is this folly on the
part of patrons that makes teaching the
hopeless, thankless drudgery it is in so
many instances. The master, so-called,
has himself a master in every rebellious
boy and his irate parent*. No wonder
that such numbers of scape graces and
ignoramuses emerge from our school* and
arc thrown upon society. They have
never been taught obedience, or subjected
to the wholesomo restraint of authority,
and as a consequence, their lives prove
miserable failures.
Of course these remarks are not in
tended to apply to tho scores of peda
gogues who. without mental or moral
qualifications, havo merely taken up the
occupation of teaching fora living. Some
of these are the veriest tyrants on earth,
and deserve a coat of tar and feathers for
their treatment of the children entrusted
to their care.
Henco jhe good which we trust will
grow out of the public school system,
properly administered. None but the
best and purest men should have the su
pervision of these schools, and every
teacher should bo subjected to the most
rigid examination, and be made to fur
nish unexceptionable testimonials of ex
emplary character.
Well may tho education of her chil
dren become tho paramount duty of the
State, and be duly provided for by law
and adequate taxation. The several
Boards of Education and school superin
tendent*. are charged with the gravest
and most weighty obligations, and to them
must wo look for an alwtement of the er
rors and evils of our former school sys
tem, and the reforms which ore so ur
gently needed.
Advertising in Dull Times.
The Milwaukee Wisconsin soys: After
tho crash of ’57, when everybody was al
most seared to death and the croakers
predicted that the country had gono to
smash, a dry goods bouse was opened in
this city, which proceeded 'on tho princi
ple that in order to reach tho hoarded
money in the pockets of the people the
proprietors must sell at very reasonable
prices. They workel very vigorously
upon this principle. Their brother mer
chants who did not advertise predicted
that the new comers would be ruined as
they paid too much for advertising.
Nevertheless they persisted. In a single
year they paid five hundred dollars in
gold to the Daily Wisconsin tor advertis
ing. and at the end of seven years they
retired from business with a fortune of
one hundred thousand dollars, while other
merchants on the same street, some of
them opposite their store, had failed. To
this tho New York Express says:
In this city, in the panic of 1S57, n
merchant continued his advertising
through the whole period of stagnation,
and notwithstanding predictions that “it
would’nt pay,” his testimony afterward
was that his rales were steady and his
profits satisfactory, while many a mer-
chant around him* **who could’nt afford
to advertise,” raw his clerks stand idle
behind the counters.
A Nwei-i-i panic does not mean that
no one has money. There ia plenty of
money in the country, and those who
hoard it are last the ones to be eager for
the “bargains" which a fall is prices hold
out.
We commend the above to the careful
consideration of our merchants and the
advertising public generally.
Some of our friends declare that they
don't with to sell goods at the present
juncture- If such bs really true, then
the sooner they get rid of store rent and
clerk hire, and wind up and retire, the
better. But we venture the assertion
that it is cnly those who sell on credit
that talk ia this way. And we commend
the resolution and hope they will stick to
it. It were far better to lode up the store
w ;th its crowded shelves and piles of
goods, and only take a peep at it once a
week to see that all is safe, rather than
send them oat on credit, and reap a har-
vestof homestead and bankruptcy notice*,
which will rery probably culminate in
tout own ruin aud dsracraUxatoon. and

lowing account of Tweed’s surroundings,
his visitors, spirits, and how he passes
his time in bis quarters in the Tombs:
A slight change came over the monot
ony of William M. Tweed’s life in the
Tombs yesterday. The cell which he
now occupies, while lacking the comfort
of his former room, is better ventilated
and much larger, and looks out upon Cen
tre street. It is situated in the southeast
end of the Tombs. The furniture it con
tains is scant, and but few other articles
are there besides a lounge and an ordi
nary hunk. No nttempt has been made
to furnish the cell, a* Twee! seems to re
alise that his stay is hut temporary.
How soon he may be transferred to the
penitentiary no one seems to know.
Sheriff Brennan yesterday reiterated his
former statement to tho writer, that his
prisoner would not he removed until his
business matters were settled. The gen
eral opinion seem to be that tho transfer
will not take place for some days yet. Mr.
Tweed’s time is principally occupied with
reading and writing letters. Up to yes
terday morning he wa* busily engaged in
making transfers of his real estate, but
yesterday none were made. He seems to
realize his poution. and remarked yester
day to his secretary, Foster Dewey, who
asked for specific instructions on some
business mutter, “Keep your eyes open
and do the best you enn; you know I’m a
dead man in law—I’:n a felon.” Deputy
Sheriff Shields says that Tweed seems in
excellent spirit*." He is quite reserved
towards the Tomb* attendants, but is very
communicative to his friends and counsel.
He seems to be in excellent health and
eats heartily of the food which Matron
Foster furnishes him. The resolution
adopted by the Commissioners of Chari
ties and Correction keep* a large number
of intruders from his cell. The visitors
were very few in number yesterday, and
two of them were there iu response to bis
own solicitation. These were bis wife
and Mrs. Maginnis. his daughter. They
arrived at noon, both dressed in deep
mourning.
We have no word of defence or apology
for Tweed, but he is not the worst man
in New York city by long odds. There
are plenty at large there and in Wash
ington City, especially, who ought to
have been where he is years ago. He is
an infinitely better man to-day than old
Corruption Cameron, or Beast Butler, or a
dozen other leaders of tho “moral ideas”
party whoso money, and particularly
their high standing in, and usefulness
to that party, keep them up. If Tweed
hail been a Radical the probability is he
might hare been at liberty to-day, hold
ing his head as high as Butler. Tho
man who tried him—Davis—is one of
the bitterest Radical partisan* on the
bench, and war, besides, once employed
as counsel to prosecute the case against
him.
We are for the punishment of all
thieves, but when we see Grant pardon
ing Hodge*—who stole from the govern
ment nearly a* much as Tweed is alleged
to have taken from jhe city treasury of
New York—after a few months’ impris
onment, wo cannot refrain from thinking
that Tweed’s politics had something to
do with Davis’ rulings, and bitter per
sonal attacks upon him in his charge to
the jury.
Stkixixu John Pattebsox.—A Colum
bia interviewer on behalf of tho Charles
ton News and'Conner reports certain rev
elation* of Dr. J. T. Moore, concerning
his brother-in-law, “ Senator" Patterson,
of South Carolina. Moore implicates Pat
terson in an extended career of small
crimes and petty misdemeanors, such as
bribery, perjury, theft and swindling*,
beginning!* a striker for Simon Cameron
in the Pennsylvania Legislature and
winding up with a wholesale purchase of
negro votes in the South Carolina Legis
lature for his present office of U. S. Sena
tor. Moore rays that Patterson boasted
to him that he bought the niggers for
from one thousand down to fifty dollars
apiece, and had no constituency in the
State, and was indebted to nothing but
his pocket for the office. Patterson is an
illustrious Senator, lmt he is a fair repre
sentative of the South Carolina govern
ment.
Coxditiox of ijLBOri Mr. Disraeli
appears to have a gloomy opinion of com
ing events in Europe. A grant struggle,
he apprehends, awaits the climax of the
present silent conflict between the spirit
ual and temporal powers of the conti
nent; and that which is now called the
agitation for home rule in Ireland, he in
timates, will be nnmasked as a part of
the general scheme, the resnlt of which
he thinks may be anarchy. While noth
ing would be particularly astonishing in
these days of sudden revulsions it must
be admitted that Mr. Disraeli is speculat
ing in rather an atrab-lious vein, and
talks very much as though he had been
dreaming of spectres and other "chimera*
dire." Europe is fall of element* of
strife, no doubt; but civilization is pro
gressive, and it will be a hard thing to
produce anarchy anywhere now in any
considerable degree.
SiAXcrrr of Game.—The Ecfaula
News rays the first of the season gave
promise of an abundance of game during
the winter. This was particularly the
case with reference to docks. It now j to a neighbor’s house where they had cie
wa* also sent after, and arrived a half
hour later. Efforts were at once made to
give Malone some medicine, which he,
however, resisted so violently that no
success was hnd. Malone knocked a glass
f rom the hand of Hinton, one of the
guards, anil declared that, though he
wasn't strong, he would make them feel
it, “if I get my teeth upon you.” Upon
consultation tho doctors decided that,
considering the time elapsed since taking
the poison, the strength manifested by
him and other reasons, that danger was
past and ho would recover. They then
left. About 3 o'clock he was heard to
call for Wise, and tho guard J. W. Owen
saying that Wi64 had gone to bed,
Malone said “it is hot important. I only
want to tell John Wise that I have
taken my second dose.” Shortly after, he
was heard speaking to hi* little tarrie dog,
and.these were the last words he wa*
heat'd to utter: "Jamp up into my bed,
if you want to.” A little later, the guard
discovered that he was apparently in a
stupor, and called np Captain Anderson.
Upon examination this was found to be
true, and Dr. Logan was ngnin sent for,
arriving about daylight. Antidotes were
quickly administered, but Malone con
tinued in a state of stupefaction gasping
for breath til! four minutes to 11 o'clock,
when tho pulse stopped and Malone lay
dead. On Thursday jiight, between jnine
and ten o'clock! Alalong S$kt a" meaeage
to John Wise, tlu)' jailor, saying that lie
desired to see Mm. This wa* ling heforo-
it was thought that he either had any
poison upon his person, or even contem
plated suicide. Wise went .immediately
to the cell, and found him. as usual,
pacing nervously no and down, • with
his pipe in his mouth. Jim Hicton, one
of the guard, was also present during
this interview. Malone then delivered to
Wise the following nuncupative will. He
stated to Wise t hat he first desired his
littlo dog to be given to “ Sister Regiss.’
We take occasion to state hero that this
“ Sister Regiss ” is one of n number of
Sisters of Mercy who havo frequently vis
ited Malone during his imprisonment.
We give her name us nearly os it was re
membered at the jail. The dog is n small
black and tan terrier.. It was given to
Malone by Wise some time in lostiFcbru-
ary, and has remained with him ever
since in his cell. The greatest attach
ment existed between this dog and his
unfortunate master. In speaking of him
the tears were standing in Malone’s eye3,
while in delivering no-other part of the
will did he exhibit the slightest feeling.
Since tho death of its master, the little
dog has been whining unceasingly and
hunting for him through the jail. His
mattress and blankets he desired to be
given to Mr. Harry Lewis, a fellow
prisoner, with whom he had been
very intimate. The blanket was
something of a bequest, as it
was unusually heavy, and made of
very fine material. His watch, which
was an ordinary silver watch.-he desired
to be given to Mr. W. L. Clifton)'also a
fellow-prisoner and a comrade.* His
crockery, glass-ware, spoons and a fork
(the latter were of silver! he bequeathed
to Aunt Eliza Hill. This Eliza Hill is
an old negro woman, who is well known
about the jail, and who did Malone’s
cooking and washing. Malone never
lived on tho prison fare. He had his
meals sent to him regularly. HU sheets,
towels, clothing, of which he was woll
provided, and also his trunk, he told
Wise to send directly to hU parent*. Mr.
Wise has faithfully observed the re
quests. Tho trunk and contents were
sent off at four o’clock yesterday after
noon to tho residence of Mr. DeWitt Sey
mour, on Pryor street, where his parents
are staying. All of Malone’s other lega
cies were also sent off during the after
noon, except the little dog. Yesterday
afternoon Wise received, through Colonel
W. H. Betts, a message from Malone’s
afflicted father, iu which the lat
ter instructed him to carry out the
son’s will to the very letter. After the
inquest had been completed the body was
washed and neatly dressed in a full suit
of black taken from the trunk. A fine
coffin was furnUhcd by hU friends hero,
into which the body was placed, and de
livered to Mr. Betts about three o’clock.
The coffin was provided with a solid sil
ver plate, upon which was inscribed
“Milton Malone, born in Columbus, Ga.,
in 1842; died in Atlanta, Ga., November
28,1873.” This plate was furnished l).v

WASiiixoToir, November 20.— Tho
transfer of tlio' Spanish negotiation from
Madrid to Washington, which was ren
dered necessary by the incapacity of Min
ister Sickles to deal with so grave a mat
ter, has imposed extraordinary labor upon
tho Spanish legation here. Last night
the prospects of an agreement between
tho two governments were considered very
bright indeed. They had agreed already
upon every point but one, namely, the
surrender of the Virginius to the United
States, Spain claiming that the question
of her right to the protection of the Amer
ican flag should bo first established. It
is believed that a suggestion has been
made to refer this question of the le
gality of the capture to arbitration with
an arrangement for tho United State to
hold the vessel meantime subject to the
decision of the arbitrators; but the State
Department refuses positively to accept
this solution of the question. Mr. Fish
was confident that the remaining point
would be yielded by tho Spanish Govern
ment. The surrender of the Virginius is
really of los3 consequence than other
points already yielded at Madrid, and it
is probable that the Spaniards are only
making a show of fight on this issue in
order to make it appear that they did not
yield too readily to tho American de
mands. At auy rate, the concession will
be insisted on by Mr. Fish as indispensa
ble to any settlement, even at tho cost of
war.
minister du bkrnabe’s dispatch.
The task of writing and transmitting
after nine o’clock last night an unusually
long dispatch into cipher necessarily oc
cupied some, time, and it was not until
very late that Admiral Polo do Bemabe
completed the transmission over the
wires. This dispatch is now before the
Spanish Cabinet for their acceptance or
rejection of the settlement which it con
tains. However unpalatable the sur
render may be, it is‘ believed that the
Castolar Ministry havo really made up
their minds to yield to tho American
demand rather than lose Cuba, and that
this decision will bo speedily communi
cated to this Government. The limit
fixed by tho American Government will
expire to-morrow night; but whether it
is in the highest degree probable that a
pacific solution will have been reached
of a quostion which has brought the two
nations to the*verge of war. Even if tho
difficulty be settled, it is still probable
that Secretary Robeson will proceed with
the work of putting the Gulf squadron in
an efficient condition, so os to make more
easy the work of the Spanish authorities
in carrying out the concessions to Amer
ica, and also exhibit to tho volunteers the
perils or resistance.
CONSEQUENCES TO THE SPANISH REPUBLIC.
There has been much speculation re
cently upon the consequence of conces
sions by the Castelar government; and
it has been positively stated that they
would be overthrown, and that any con
cessions or convention made by them
would bo repudiated by their successors
in office, thus making war finally*inevi-
table. These prophesies are believed to
be erroneous as respects the power of the
Castelar Ministry to maintain itself; and
even if they are overthrown, it is deemed
probable that their successors, rather
than lose Cuba, would say that they were
not responsible for what their predeces
sors had yielded, but that they would not
disturb accomplished facts, but would
maintain Spanish honor in the future.
WAITING FOR THE REPLY.
Up to quite a late hour to-night the
Government had no definite intelligence
from Madrid; and it is doubted whether
the final answer will come before to
morrow. Mr. Fish’s house this evening
has been besieged in vain by enterpris
ing newspaper correspondents. This de
lay in getting news from Madrid is by
no means an unfavorable indication, aili
there is nothing known to dinimish the
strong confidence felt in official circles
last evening of a successful result to the
negotiation.

The doorkeeper stopped him, and, going

for $1 50, the price paid for them. Porter
refused the money and left in no happy
frame of mind. Yesterday he met the
doorkeeper on the street, and after de
claring that he had insulted him in re
fusing, his tickets, knocked him down

A Rampant Spaniard.
. New York, November 29.—The Elcro-
nista publishes a letter from Havana
dated tho 221, in which the writer
breathes forth vengeance and slaughter.
He says that Cuba is perfectly indiffer
ent as to whether the United States at
tempts an invasion of the island. If she
doe3 she must k.ke the consequences.
The same number of the Elcronista pub
lishes a long and infi immatory article,
urging the Spanish government to main
tain a bold attitude toward this country,
and to show itself capable of governing
Cuba; for the editor asserts that the
United States would otherwise invade
Cuba without declaring war against
Spain, and on pretense o! re-establishing
in the island the authority of a peninsula.
The five points which o:u* Government
has presented to Spain are denounced as
humiliating and inadmissible. *
Activity at the. Brooklyn Navy Yard.
In spite of assurances of a pacific cli
max to the Spanish difficulty, there is no
change in affairs at the Brooklyn navy
yard, and great activity in preparation
for sea of all war ships' continues. The
work of painting of the exterior of the
frigate Colorado, were finished this even
ing, and all three of her masts are now in
their proper position. The Colorado is
literally covered with workmen. She
will be finished and ready to leave the
yard by the latter part of next week.
The torpedo bait Alarm was towed
from the yard last evening, and now lies
be paid *o tho families or relatives of the
prisoners who were shot, is also to bo
settled in a similar manner.
This decision was not arrived at by the
Government before it had confidentially
consulted with the powers of Europe *nd
was informed by all of them that repara
tion was duo for tho capture of the
steamer and the execution of tho captives.
The decision is also in conformity with
the opinions of leading Spanish states
men of all parties to whom tho question
was submitted by the Government.
Tho Loss of tho Missouri.
New York, November 29.—rCapt. C. E.
Pearsons late of Liverpool steamer Mis
souri, arrived in New York yesterday
from Nassau with ICO passengers
cued by the British ship Cherub and sent
to New Orleans via Key West. The
captain and crew were examined beforo
the Murine Court at Nassau, and the
captain was exonerated from all blame.
He attributes tho loss of his steamer to
strong southerly currents.

The Perils cf an Iron Pot.
Lewes, Del., November 29.—A special
says during the storm which the monitor
Manhattan encountered on Thursday,
compelling her to put back, the eea swept
clean over her iroin stem to stern, upset
ting tho men at tho wheel and carrying
away the log book.
A leak was sprung under the turret,
through which water poured in with
alarming rapidity.
Commander Yates expected tho moni
tor would go down, and ordered the boats
to bo cleared and life buoys distributed.
Subsequently tho monitor became easier,
but being in a leaky condition—her bilge
pumps having become choked, and every
thing and everybody drenched through—
it was decided best to return to the Dela
ware Breakwater, and givo up going to
Key West. The Manhattan will proba
