Shaking llands Across the Bloody Chasm,
Wears still shaking hands across the
bloody chasm, bnt ss onr eyes are cleared
of cigar smoke, the tears of patrlctlo
impulse, or something else thst usually ac
companies these occasion*, we eee some
fellow wsving a flag, and the bloody ohasm
Is still agape.
It is filled np with speeches, champagne
bottles and the debris of feasts at the re-
onions of soldiers, at the gatherings of the
forefathers, at the meetings of commercial
non, and even when the loeomotive engi.
peers assemble In good feilowehip, or onr
friends the drummers rally, only to be
emptied agein. Alts! the bloody ohasm
seems to have no bottom, and a maw that
defies eloqnenoe, no matter how great the
chunks may be.
Immediately after hoatilltiee, and just at
soon as the polities! instincts of Andy John
son could smother his personal revenges,
the Pbiledeiphia convention tu called.
The grand act of that convention was the
shaking of honde across tbs bloody chasm,
by Vtllsndigbam, of Ohio, and Orr, of Booth
Carolina, the ones Gartias, who w^fld
beve gladly ridden into the chasm to save
bis country; the other, a prudent, business
politician, who, no matter how severe or
snddeu the fall, always alighted on hU feet
Since that day to this, in onr merry mak
ings, in the idle day* when men meet to
gether over good ohoer, wo have been
steadily shaking.
Sometimes we have indulged in this per.
Zormanoe in a somewhat more
serionB mood. The Booth, throw
lug aside her animosities, went np as
a man to call IIom:o Greeley to tho head
cf the nation beoanso he was for s genuine
peace. Tho proffered hand waa njeoted,
tho chasm was rod nnb open, and grew
ladder and deeper still with tho rape of the
Presidency.
We have said the ohasm was deep,
looks so. Soldiers, preachers, poets, mor-
chants, lawyers, oil hsve failed to hide its
horrors save for a time. The bosy snd
mUchiovioas politieianjkeeps it for bis own
and finds it stilt profitable.
The latest exhibition we have hod ct this
symbolical restoration of the sections oa-
aarred bnt a few days since, at s dinner at
Tale College. John llsndolph Tneker, of
Virginia, waa s guest snd a speaker, snd
Mr. Tneker is on admirable speaker any,
where and everywhere. The scene is thus
'described:
•‘lAi Mr. Tneker sat down President
Dwight arose and exolalmed, ‘Yale Unlvit
Bity and tha Htata ot Gonneotlcnt extends
the right hand of fellowship to Old Vir
ginia.' Mr. Tneker aprang to his feet and
groeplng President Dwight by the band at
tempted tc respond. The andienoe, how
ever, was too quick tor him and burnt oat
in nprorlona applanae which continued for
SMveral mlnutea. Preeident Dwight and
Mr. Tnoker stood on the platform with
bande clasped and tha distinguished per
sonages who oompooed the andienoe were
cheering as load as they could, waving their
bats and eanes In approval of the remarka
ble toe no."
Nothing eoald be better in its way, bnt
we have heard of many anoh scenes, and
have witnessed soma What guarantee has
the oonntry that John Boorman, ss
threatens, will not wavs tha “rebel flag
business" in Connecticut, and cause Dr.
Dwight and tha Yale student* to forget Ur.
Tnoker and his tloquenoe ?
We have seen all appeals to patriotism
till to bring about a duelled cordiality
tween tl!0 sections. Mon will not preach
sing in harmony, and it business men are
bound together it is only by bars of gold or
silver. But there may be a remedy yet un
tried. A few months sines sndthoTxui-
okju'H and the Boston Advertiser had s
friendly boot over Georgia barbecues snd
New England clam bakes. This baa boras
good fruit. We have observed with pride
and pleasure that Boston is becoming, if
such a thing were pouihle, almost ss con
servative as Macjn, and that tbs Advertiser
is not behind in patriotic endeavor.
It we cannot control men through their
pride, patriotism, ambition or interest, per-
baps if we eon fill the chasmi in them with
barbecat-s and clam bakes, we may jetibaka
hands over the reunited hearts of the whole
country.
OLD ENEMIES FRATERNIZE. pbohuhtion in mawe.
the long and painful search for tho remains
Alexander T. Stewart, which were stolen
from a graveyard in the city of New Yotk.
Even now, many doubt that the bones over
which the magnificent cathedral stands are
the real bones of Stewart, the merchant
prince of his day. A detail from the
United States army stood sentinel
many months aronnd the graves
Garfield and Grant, two of the great men
the North, whose last days should have
softened the animosities borne against them
life. A long line of Presidents gone to
their account sleep in unguarded graves.
Washington, Uonroe, Madison and Jeffer
son have no armed and paid guards aronnd
their tombs, nor have McLelian, Haneock,
Mobile and other distinguished Federal
generals. Bat Vanderbilt, the money king
America, rests in a tomb constantly
watched by hired warders. A letter in the
Boston Herald thns describes the snrronnd-
ings:
'But what does this wonderful tomb
signify ? After all the vast expenditure of
money there is no rest rent for tho living
kindred or safety for the earthly remains of
the man whose will and purse it typifies.
This mausoleum, into which has been erowd-
all the ingenuity and protective devioee
known to scicpoe, is not even adequate to
guard tin bones of the ‘dead king.’
night and all day six detec
tives, well drilled and well armed, watoh
over this huge granite pile and its mould
ering contents. Even stone is not security,
granite is not strength, iron is not protec

grafted \>J bis life-work. Money to him was
the end of alb The lesson he tangbt gov
erns bis dcoendants, and they wisely oon<
elude thst what the money klDg taught the
cunning may carry out. The man to whose
memory it has been erected has been dead
year and a half, yet there is no panso in
the watoh which great riches have made es
sential to the baffiing of enpidity. A
sentry box standi near this grand receptacle
for the dead, an amazing comment on tho
peace and seenrity of the place. The men
are kept constantly on gaard like soldiers,
addition to these human vigils, a system
signals or burglar alarms is added, which
penetrate many different parts of tho
ground. At stated intervals these ore set
off by the Bingle man on his Bix hours' turn
dnty, and the reserve rapidly assemble at
given point It is not dress parade, bnt a
sort of drill, that the chief detcotive exacts
the men whom he employs to gaard this
mausoleum from pillsgo. At night tho
watoh is even more vigilant, When dark
ness brings greater danger from those who
would steal the body for a ransom, a pow
erful flame is llgntea in tne cupola, wmon
shines ont over the humble graveyard be
low. Into this dome one ot the detoetlves
most go every half hour and touch another
alarm, which records the fidelity of those on
daty. Every twelve bonrs the ohief enters
the bnilding to see from this new eleotrio
register whether each man on daty daring
the night bos gone his ronnds at the pre
scribed moment This preosntton against
theft tarnishes many interesting refieotiona.
Tho ooet ot guarding tho remains of Mr.
Vanderbilt amounts to n small fortune each
year. The interest on the $500,000 said to
have been expended on the twenty-one
acres of ground and tho mortuary edifice
which adorne it is a big item. Add to this
at least $30 a day tor tbs detective guard
which is kept constantly oa duty, and it
foots up a total of about $50,GOO a year of
outlay to keep at rest tho ashes of one man.
The place, its surroundings, the gnstd and
the other curlons evidenoes of a new fash
ion about graveyards, tlnet great wealth has
men avaricious to the criminal point, all
auggest thought! of our new tendencies.
This republie is one hnndred yean old.
Men of great parts havs arisen and have
carried on the government, in war, pesos
and diplomaey. Names that the world have
calls! great have been among onr fathers.
The civil war itself was not by any means
destitute of men worthy a people's homage.
Waa there something ao hard in the Uvu
of tbeis men, that they cannot be permit-
ted,rest in peace? Are there men in North
era society prepared to make the graves
of the rich and great the subject ot spoils?
Did these men become experts at tbs bus
iness by rifling the graveyard* ot the Booth
during the wot? These are questions which
will present themselves to every thinking
mind. If Northern society has becems
demoralized that even “the eitlee of the
dead’* cannot he protected from ghouls, by
ordinary lews end executive officers, may
not the Booth congratulate herself that in
the midst of her many woes, she ho* escap

tamination,?
has addressed himself to this matter, and
his views meet with the quasi endorsment
of the Courier-Journal. Mr. Breckenridge
says:
Practically to accomplish legislation, the best
way Is for tha Secretary of tho Treasury, with the
open approval of tbs President, to submit to Coe-
gras a blit, caretuUy prepared and upon which
Ur. Cleveland Is willing ,to stake his sdminlstrs-
t ration; this bill ought to bo taken nnder advisement
by the Democratic cancus, snd tbat caucus ongbt
to reach some egreement; snd tbo bill thus pre
pared. ooneldered snd agreed upon, should be
mede a party measure, snd either paeeed or made
e Issue lu the Presidential canvass.
tu other words, it is proposed thst the ad
ministration formulate a measure for a re
duction of revenues, whioh shall be sub
mitted to a caucus of the Democratic party
in Congress. If Mr. Cleveland can be thus
marched up to on emergeuoy, we eee no
special objection. It is our conviotinn that
if the administration is sent into the next
Presidential canvass on a free trade pint-
form, it will be beaten.
Other people do not ooncur in this opin
ion, bat hold that it can alone win as an open
and avowed advooste of free trade. We
areqnite snre that one or the other should
be taken. The Democratic party itself will
be frittered away, by two more sessions of
Congress like thn last two, Mr, Itrcnknr-

The morning was spent in sight-seeing and

Elltors TxLEQUArn: In a recent spetch
in the prohibition contest in Tennessee,
Slate Senator Hon. J. W. Sparks made me
of the following language:
"But I will pass on now to 1857, when
Maine passed what was aud is now known
as the Maine lnv, nnder the leadership ot
Neal Dow; sod this same man, Neal Dow,
after figuring in prohibition in Maine and
the country ever sines 1851, now says, or
has said recently in public speeches, that
tho whole thing is a failure, and that pro
hibition does not prohibit.”
On being informed of the foregoing state,
ment Hon. Neal Dow replied by giviog this
summary of facts:
“1 am not a little surprised tbat ‘this
same man,' J. W. Sparks, did not provide
for a decent retreat from the falsehood con
tained in the few lines whioh you sent me.
If Air. Sparks bad said, -I am told so,' or,
the newspapers say so,' be wonl-1 have es
caped all responsibility for the lie. But bo
aaya, 'It ia so.' *' Perhaps Mr. Sparks may
be surprised to learn that I never said tbat
at any time nor anywhere. On tie con
trary, I have said a thousand times—in the
newspapers, the magazines, and on the
flatforui that the Maine law is now and

Woit a pity it is tl.at all the Republican
editors of the Union have not arranged to

Tbs Boston Herald pays this tribute to
the Democrstio party: “The South hu

the Cleveland adminiitration came in, snd
in the same time it has made more material
progress, than in any other corresponding
period.” The two go together, end these

“10. Before tbo M .ino law onr people
were shiftless, thriftless, poor; now they
they are active, industrious, enterprising,
thrifty, rich. The liqaor traffic earns
nothing; its influence is to waste the wages
of labor snd to ruin *11 who come under its
influence.
“11. The liquor Infflo etill lingers on a
small aoale, and more or loss on the sly,in our
larger towns and oities. This is due to cer
tain defeeti in the law which are perfectly
well known to us, which we shall have cor
rected by and by; we are working for
tbat now. Liqaor will be sold here and
everywhere, in violation of law, as long as
it is profitable to do so. Ia amending onr
law, as wa shall do in the near future, there
is nothing required but eueb penalties of
fine and imprisonment as will make it un
profitable aud uncomfortable to everybody
who shall persist in its violation; at the
same time providing for the prompt, quick
administration ot its reproofs, with no
power in the oourts to postpone trials or
sentences, nor in any way to diminish or
soften tbs punishment It mnst be to
