The indiscriminate cramming prac ticed so extensively In our Public Schools is to be greatly deplored. To cut down the number of studies, ami the hours for study, would do much toward securing a marked improve ment. ■ '• • - The New York Herald urges that there must be some defence for the publio against tho pica of insanity now brought up regularly in favor of every murderer for whom no other defence can be found or invented. Is sues of Insanity must not bo left to an ordinary jury. Either the judge must have power, when such a de fence is made, to immediately rofer the caso to a commission of experts to determine that particular point, or the trial must be had exclusively on the issue of insanity, and that pica, if made, must be referred to the Governor in mitigation of tho penal ty if the caso is against tho culprit on the issue of fact. Without some such change it will soon become im possible in this city to oven try men for murder, much loss to punish them. The United atatfs ami Npaln. The New York Hun reports that the statements made by t.bc New York Herald respecting General Grant's communication to tho Span ish Government, are unfounded. President Grant, according to the Hun, has not demanded the indepen dence of Cuba, and hnsnot intimated that the United States may Interfere to secure it. The demunds which have really been made upon tho Spanish Govern ment and which Mr. Cushing is now urging, are; First, that Spain shall send a sufficient force to Cuba to jus tify her in continuing to carry on the present civil war; secondly, that American citizens in Cuba and their rights in person and property shall no longer bo subjected to Spanish military tribunals; thirdly, that slavery shall actual ly be exti ngulshed in the island; and Anally, that Cuba shall huvo a representation in the Cortes, tho same as other provinces of the Spanish monarchy. While it is true that much pressure has been brought to bear upon Gen eral Grant by niuny of his personal friends who are large holders of Cuban bonds, we nevertheless think that the Sun’s estimate of tho propo sitions that have been laid before tho Mudrid Court will be found to be cor rect. Tho idea of the New York Herald that the British Government would view with dissatisfaction tho acquisi tion of Cuba by tho United States is a mere Agineut of tho imagination. England would bo very glad to seo Cuba united to this country, because sum'll an arrangement would put an end to slavery there as well as to a civil war that is very Injurious to British interests, and it would con siderably enlargo the market for Brit ish manufactures in the island. Eng land has no reason whatever for jeal ousy toward the extension of Ameri can influence or authority in the West Indies. The annexation of Cuba would rather gratify than dis please her. “To Capture the Moiithrrn Vote.” A Chicago dispatch stated the sub stance of an interview with Secretary Zacharlah Chandler, published in tho Morning Courier, of that city. It says Mr. Chandler ‘‘behoves war with Spain probable, iu order to capture the Southern vote.” Upon tins the Hartford Times remarks: “It may not be readily believed that Presi dent Grant would precipitate a war with Spain, in order to continue him self in office for a third term. There is no grievuuco that would warrant such a rash measure, which might re sult in complications and wars with other powers. In such a ease, the people of tho United States might haruly hope to ever get free of debt, or to get pay for the bonds they hold. Taxation, now large enough,'would become distressing. But there uro in dications that the President would like to complicate our relations with Spain; tiiat he would gladly plunge the two countries into a useless and uuoalled-for war. The rumors from Washington that he is to commence the agitation of tho matter in his forthcoming message may not be ful ly borne out. We hope they may not bo. But thero is certainly danger from this very idea that a war with Spain is considered at the White House as a good thing for ‘eapturiug the Southern vote.’ The President cannot declare war, but ho can do very much toward making a war.” It is not Impossible that as a third term card Grant may endeavor to in volve the country in a war with Spain under pretense of putting an end to tho Cubau rebellion. But if lie does so with the expectation of capturing the Southern vote ho will And himself ruefully mistaken. Tho people of the South want no unnec essary war with any foreign power certainly not with.Spain for the an nexation of another negro-carpet-bag State to the Union. In a war with Spain our Southern coast cities would bo exposed to tho attacks oi the Spanish meu-of-war. our commerce would be interrupted, our labor di verted from the production of crops, uud we would have the satisfaction of paying our share of the cost or making a negro carpet-bag State out of Cuba and bringing that once rich and prosperous island to the forlorn condition of Soutli Carolina and Louisiana. Such a programme is not calculated to captivate the Sou th em people, or secure the vote of the South for Grant fora third term.— Savannah News. Kouthern Christian Advocate. As our readers are aware, our paper Is not, in any sense, sectarian, nor does it even profess to be a religiou| paper—being simply a news papt'r. As such, while it is not the organ of any church, we always give place to any matter not sectarian which mem bers of any of the churches may wish published. Hence it is that we give place to the following communica tion, which is published by request of a highly respected citizen. Tor the Hon then Wetclimau, Mr. Editor:— The subjoined com munication wae written by request. Of course, the details of the project must be determined by the wise, pru dent, experienced ministers and lay men of the Conferences, and of such u body the present managers and con ductors of the Southern Christian Advoeato should be prominent mem bers. ‘‘The Advocate must have more sub scribers.” —H. C. Advocate. Tho above announcement suggests one of two facts either that tho pub lishers are losing or making very lit tle by the paper, or that it is not do ing the good which might reasonably be looked for, if a greater number wero taken and read by the people. Of the lirst of theso two proposi tions I know nothing, nor is It mate rial to the matter I propose to con sider ; for the paper was not estab lished for the benefit of any one man or company, but for the good of the Methodist church and of the commu nity. Of tho trutli of the second fact I have no doubt. The present sub scription to the Advocate ought to be doubled, yes, trebled, and I huvo a plan to propose for the thoughtful consideration of the wise men of our Conferences, which, it is believed, will effect this very desireable object, and at the same time do a vast amount of good in another direction. It is proper to say that tills idea did not originate with tho writer, but was suggested (during aconvcrsation on the subject of the support of aged and wornout and disabled preachers and their families by the ablest and most far-seeing financier in the State. From all we hear, this year will be as remarkable for the deficiency in the umount contributed for ministerial support, as it has been for tho great number added to tho membership of the church. The truth or error of this however, will appear at the Con ference. Of one thing the writer is assured, that the church of which he is a member will surely full consider ably shorter of paying our preacher t he amount promised him, unless the Stewards borrow the money; and if we do fail, it will be the ilrst iu titty years. I mention this us an indica tion that tho collections for wornout and disabled preachers and their fam ilies will be lamentably small, and much suffering and destitution ap prehended. This is a mutter which touches the heart of every Methodist. It is a universally acknowledged debt, which has never been fully met. To do this is the objeet of the plan pro posed by my friend, above alluded to, and it is this: It is believed that the 8. C. Advocate can be printed as well as is now done, and onus good paper, for at most unc-htdf tho present sub scription price. Homo practical men think it can bo done for $1 a copy for a year. Now. if this can be done, and tlie subscription remain as uow.it re quires very little knowledge of arith metic to see that a very handsome sum of money, even witli tho present subscription list, would bo realized, to be devoted to the support of the worn out preachers and widows with helpless families. But very impor tant results, in addition, would be reached, by publishing the object of the plan to tho world, tiiat, every dol lar over the expenses of printing and publishing tho paper shall be appro priated to this and cognate objects, that thereby a fund would bo realized which would do away with tho neces sity of the yearly Conference col lections. Every preacher, traveling and local, every warm-hearted Met h odist, would become an active agent for the paper, and tho number of sub scribers would soon reach twenty, or perhaps thirty thousand. Now, if there Is nothing erroneous or extrav agant in this proposed plan, it is very obvious that great good would grow out of its adoption. An annual fund of ton thousand dollars, or more, could be raised for the noblest of all causes, aud every contributor would be more t ban remunerated for every dollar paid for a good paper, in addi tion to the incalculable good which, by tho blessing of God, would flow from the largely increased circulation among the people of a religious fam ily newspaper. Now, Mr. Editor, let me say that in the conversation above mentioned, (which was among warm friends of Methodism;, a decided and emphatic approval of the paper, us now con ducted, wus expressed by all. We should ho exceedingly sorry, if by any change in the plan of publishing, thoro should bo any change in tho oditors and managers of tho Advo cate. Of course, we would rejoice, as you would, to see the paper growing in the oxoolleneo and interest of its contributions, and we believe this would be one of the results of the plan, for a much greater number of people would feel solicitous for the prosperity and high standing of their paper. IM Sll.lt 1 OPINION. We should be reluctant to think tiiat President Grant could resort to foreign complications aud incur the risk of a foreign war as a means of influencing our domestic polities on tho eve of a Presidential election. This is one of the devices by which Napoleon 111. maintained his power in France, but the linal result was a warning, not au example.—New York- Herald. "Well, we can’t tell what may hap pen.’—The President of the United States. The above are the words of the President iu response to an inquiry as to what lie thought of a third term. The End Will Come.— Since the election tho Wall street bunkers have concluded to charge a higher rate of interest on all loans to borrowers. They call this "a healthy movement iu the money market.” Healthy for themselves, but not for their credit ors. Tilings ure ripening on for lS7ti. Travel on, gentlemen. The end will oorneby and by,—Buoyrus Forum. Senator Bayard says: "How wise aud eloqueut are the words of Web ster: ‘Of all contrivances for cheat ing the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effectual than that which deludes them with paper money.’ This is the most effectual of inventions to fertilize the rich man’s held with tiie sweat of the poor man’s brow. Ordinary tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation these bear lightly on the most of the com munity compared with the robberies committed by a depreciated paper money.” The paper money of which Web ster spoke was the paper money now favored by Bayard, viz.: State and local banks, whose notes are redeem able in gold. Who lias been cheated by a greenback? Who that has a genuine one failed to pass it at its face? The money we had before the war, to which Bayard desires to re turn, was nearly worthless. We are to exchange the faith and power of the Uuited States Government for the lying promise of a bank. Of course we are to talk about legal-ten ders being “inconvertible,’’although they will pay all debts, and they buy everything which pleases any of the senses.—Cincinnatti Enquirer. Wrath of Vlrr-f*m.litcnt Wlhon. From telegrams received wo uro apprised of tho death of Vice-Presi dent Wilson. His death was not alto gether unexpected, ns he had been sick for some time.

His repeated avowals since his return home were encouraging to us. From his ex pressed convictions we had a right to expect substantial friendship from him in the future. He had aspirations for the Presi dential chair, but now he is as hum ble as the poorest dependent that lives in his native State, Massachu setts. lilt. TON IU LOW ON WttM’.K AMI LINT/. MUSICAL CHITtCIHM. Tiie opinions of one of the greatest living musicians are worth reading, in so far ns they eriteise musicians who are dead, at least. A reporter of the New York World recently elicited the following criticism : I am a great admirer of Meyerbeer. The greatest impression I ever felt in my life was when I ilrst heard Meyer beer’s Huguenots. Apropos of Gou nod, he fluid tiiat the best opera of that composer was “Le Medeciu Mal gre Lui,”and, judging him from that work, he might be called the musical Moliere. Speaking of Wagner, Dr. Von Bil low said that ho had been extremely unjust to Meyerbeer, and added: "But we, his pulpils or disciples, are not forced to fall into tiie same error. It is my opinion that great composers, in their self-estimation, must be neg ative in their admiration of others. In answer touquestion as to wheth er the. Wagner school is making much headway in Germany, l)r. Von Be low said that Wagner lias many imi tators, but none worthy of being classed with him. His imitators, so far, have shown no special talent, at least in the line of composition for the stage, and they have, therefore, hud very little success. But the in fluence of Wagner is making itself widely felt in tiie performance of clas sical works. The Doctor then began to tell of Wagner’s great genius and : influence. Tiie doctor explained the difference between the old and new school of music by quoting an anecdote of a minister of state under Louis Phil ippe, who had just gone into office and was asked iu what respect Ins administration would differ from the preceding one. "Mon eher,” lie re plied, "nous ferons exactement in meme musique, sentement noustaeh orons do la fairo mieux.” “And this,” said Herr Von Bulow, ‘‘is tho ease with us. In Wagner’s heart the rich est melody in existence is in Beetho ven. When Wagner conducts an or chestra he does not correct the indi cations of Beethoven ; he only com pletes them.” Wagner is of opinion that Beethoven’s music lias still to be made popular and intelligible by the real interpretation, but in inter preting it is necessary to read be tween the lines and discover the com plicated polyphony and make it clear to the ear of the listener. Dr. Von Bulow then explained that polypho ny the giving of three or four melo dies at once—is the special feature of tho now classical school, and tiiat one of the difficulties it has to encounter is tho training of the human ear to the perception of two or t hree melo dies at the same time. This is now more easy than it was in Beethoven’s time, for then the instruments were not as perfect as now, and in render ing Beethoven’s music in our time wo can give notes that the instru ments in his time did not have. Dr. Von Bulow spoke admiringly of Beethoven and called him "tho Columbus of tho new school in mu sic.” Wagner, ho thought, was to some extent a follower of Gluck in dramatic truth and in perfect accord ance of sentiment and tune. Gluck, however, ho said, was a poor musi cian, of whom Handel had spitefully remarked, “My cook understands more of counterpoint tluußHuek.” Herr Von Bulow spoke of Liszt: “I cannot give to Liszt, ’ ho said, "the same place I give to Wagner as a composer for orchestra. His princi pal merits are in composing for the piano, and in this line he has hail pupils like Raff, who is well known iu this country. Liszt’s instrumenta tion is splendid. He is more harmo nious than Berlioz and less extrava gant. In the Dante symphony, it is true there is a great noise, but this is no reproach, besides it is a solitary exception. But Liszt cannot attain the same plane as other great mas ters, because his music is based on homophony, ami not on polyphony, which is the special character of the German music. Besides, Liszt's life is against being a great composer; he is too much in the world. Great composers cannot be soeeiety men or men of the world. Look at Bach; he was like a hermit, and Beetho ven's deafness, which was a great curse, was still in some respects’a blessing. Hearing too many voices outside you, you ean not heed the voice of God within you.” Tho Italian school, Dr. Vou Bu low thinks, is in decadence. It lias been corrupted by Paris, as tho French school was corrupted by con tact with others. “ Internationalile ,” said he, meaning the mingling to gether of different styles, "is the cor ruption of all art—at least iu music. Douizetti’s ‘Don Pasquale’ is real Italian opera, but Donizetti was less happy in 'La Figlia del Reggimento' when lie became vulgar and a precur sor of Offenbach.” Continuing, the Doctor said he should greet an Ital ian composer who had studied the good Italian schools, but he saw no promise of such a one. The Italians are making a feeble effort to imitate Wagner, but in fact they mock him because they do not understand him. They avail themselves of the effects of German music, but they do not know how to use them. When they played ‘Lohengrin'and‘Tunnhauser’ they failed. “Once Italy was tiie cradle of art," continued the doctor, “and therefore, as an Italian journal recently said, it is no wonder all their musicians are asleep.” Of the new opera, "Die Folkungen,” recently brought out in Leipsic and criticised in a late number of the World, the doctor said it was a weak imitation of Wagner, and probably reached the dignity of “respectable rubbish.” I. 0.0.
