Th .- Bayard's Peace Speech. Certain journals of influence Lave as sumed that the republication of Mr. Bayard's speech in favor of peace, made te the people of Delaware at the outset or our civil war, necessarily takes him out of the field of presidential candidates ; and this, net because he may be charged with any unfriendliness te the Union or lack of sympathy with -its cause, after the struggle had been fairly entered into, but solely because of his belief that the war should have been avoided. The idea is net that Mr. Bayard's disloyalty un fits him for presidential candidacy, but that he is tabooed, because his judgment was against the inauguration of a war that resulted successfully and in a re stored Union. 2e accusation of disloy alty is made ; it is simply one of false judgment; and a judgment which, if false, would at least have spared the bleed and treasure, the debt and death, that the war cost. It is net even a question wlrether this war was net am ply repaid by the restored Union ; for it cannot be assumed that the separation of the states, if then acceded te, would have been a permanent one. The inter ests of all the people of the United States summon them te union with each ether in one government ; and if this is the fact the states would net have remained long apart. If it is net the fact, then certainly the Union would net have been restored : and it ought net te have been ; if it is net the fact the Union will net long exist, new that it has been restored. It is net te be disputed that a single democratic government cannot be perm anently maintained ever sections of di- verse interests when their political union is, upon the whole, found te be disadvan tageous te any of them. The guarantee of the perpetuity of our Union is based upon the mutual interest of the states in it, or it is founded upon sand. Tlt Mr. Bayard has ceased te be available as a candidate because he was for peace instead of war, even for two months after Fert Sumter had been fired upon in 18G1, is net se certain as it has been assumed te be at first blush by very many, if notmest.of these who have con sidered it. The enlyweight it is entitled te is as an indictment of his political judgment, if he was wrong. He boldly assumes new the full responsibility for what belaid then, and declares that he stands just there te-day. " I am op posed," he declares, te "internicine strife "and he challenges the Jlepublican party, and asks the Democratic party, te make this the issue of the political con test this year. The demand is at least worthy of con sideration. Mr. Bayard has this advan tage in his position taken in 18Gl,that it was taken by the great mass of the Dem ocratic party at that time. Their advice wasnettaken and their judgment was net followed. "We are net convinced that they were mistaken ; but it would scarce ly be wise in us, new that we have paid our full share of the cost of the opposite policy, te put ourselves in a position te reject the profit that may come te us from it. The Union is new in our hands and its power is ours te control the po litical element that found it te its advantage te bring en the fratricidal war and which did bring it en for selfish purposes. It is net te our political ad vantage te maintain our position of 1861 ; we can well afford te try the idea then act ed upon that a Union of force is the kind we have. It is certain te be reversed whenever the interests of the states be come tee diverse, if they ever de ; but meanwhile the idea will answer te sub due every weak show of rebellion. But we can frankly assume a full share with Mr. Bayard for our peace proclivi ties in 1S61. "We have no reason te be ashamed of them. If we were wrong-headed our hearts at least were right ; and we would net be at all afraid te put up new a candidate who declared in 1SG1 that he was for peace. The people are net se senseless as te strike down a geed man, loyal te the Union all through the war, because he did net want it te be. Tti'ucjhave this disposition we have very little available presidential timber in the Democratic party ,and even the Repub licans would find their public men mere than decimated. Mr. Tilden was thor oughly with his party in its opposition te the war, and of course, it is net he who cists this first stone at Mr. Bay ard. Fer Mr. Tilden and Mr. Biyard te contend ever this matter would be a veritable Kilkenny cat fight. They had better both boldly stand by their position in 1861, and the Democratic party will stand there along with them. It is paying a very peer compliment te the intelligence of the voter te suppose that the war Democrat or war Republi can of 1SG1, who believed in war from the very outset and never doubted its expediency after Fert Sumter had been fired en, will vote against Mr. Bayard because he was then for peace. If we are te have another civil war seen, or te be threatened with it, it would excuse the Union men for voting against him ; for he could net be for such a war, he said then and says new. But as such an issue is net contem plated in this generation it hardly enters fairly into an estimate of Mr. Bayard's presidentialqualificatiens. "We have objec tions te his candidacy, but this is net one of them ; and we de net believe it affects greatly the question of his eligi bility. m m The Sherman club, of Cincinnati, has published and te its courtesy we ewe a copy of it "The Life and Public Ser vices of Jehn Sherman," by Ben Perley Poere. It is most remarkable for what it does net contain. It neither explains hew Sherman became a millionaire with no ether occupation than chairman of the finance committee of the Senate, nor does it make any reference te his labors as " a visiting statesman " in Louisiana. Unless we have received a defective copy we cannot commend this biography for its fullness. The pious editor of the New Yerk Independent is greatly outraged " in his mind," because of the preposition which did net become a law that Seuth Carolina should adept the educational qualification for suffrage and disfran chise all who cannot read nor write. In the opinion of this orthodox Republican journal this would be "infamous," "robbery," "stealing" and an "enor mity." But Massachusetts has the same law and the Independent's editor lias never lest any sleep ever it. Premature Despondency. The New Yerk Sun is very despond ent ever the political situation, which, te its mind, is involved in portentous gloom. Last fall the Sun was engaged in daily giving te the country a new can didate whom it premised could be elected. It new concludes that nobody has any chance at the Republican nomination ex cept Grant; his election it anticipates will be the utter overthrew of our con stitutional system, and the only hope is in Democratic success; such success it deems well-nigh impossible in the pies sent condition of the party. It seems te think that no Democrat can be elected without Mr. Tilden's consent ; that Mr. Tilden himself cannot be elected, and that he will net interest himself in the election of anybody but himself. Se it reaches the melancholy conclusion that all hope for the Democracy, and hence for the country, is well-nigh extinct. Its conclusions are mere logical than itsprcm ises are well taken. Grant may or may net be the Republican nominee. If he should be he is as likely as net te prove the weakest candidate that his party could select. Then, en the ether hand, Mr. "Watterson tells us that Mr. Tilden is looking around for some one en whom te cast the burdens of a presidential can vass ; an authentic report from "Wash ington has it that at the late conference there of representative Democrats, " while Mr. Tilden had net many mem bers of the committee favorable te his nomination, the general sentiment to ward him was respectful and conciliatory. The opinion was expressed that he would net be found making trouble in the con vention ; that he would be recognized there as an influential Democrat, whose advice, if he gave it, would receive re spectful consideration, and that, while his own nomination was net proba ble, if he offered advice as te a candidate, and did it judiciously, this would have much weight." Thus, nothing is mere likely te happen than that the party will find a candidate with whom Mr. Tilden will be abundant ly satisfied, whom the whole party will heartily support and triumphantly elect ever any possible Republican, by a ma jority that will make the Sun shine bright and clear through the eclipse of doubt with which it is new overshadow ed. PERSONAL. Lizzie Price, the American widow of Fcchter has returned te the stage. Bessie Turner has married the stage carpenter of the "Williamsburg (N. Y.) theatre. Prince Oscar, the second son of the King of Sweden, will make an educational tour of Italy.

The Mexico City Academy of Fine Arts will present General Grant with a medal commemorative of his visit te that institu tion. Tiie dinner given by the American colenj' was a brilliant affair. The speeches were many and cordial. Geerge DeB. Keisi, vice president of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad company, sailed en Saturday for Europe for a trip en tins continent. It is stated that he will make arrangements for ex tending the coal trade of the company while abroad. Recently Miss Sciiomhere, of Philadel phia, gave a dinner party at her villa, at Nice.

Countess Caithness were black satin embroidered in geld, Lady "Wallcy blue satin and Miss Scliemberg silver-gray satin. James Russel Lewell, appointed te the court of St. James, will leave Madrid for England the middle of this week, having presented his letters of recall. There is much regret expressed at his departure in diplomatic and political circles, where he received many marks of regard, having been named corresponding member of the Spanish academy and vice president of the geographic congress. Minister Lewell will only stay in Louden a few days te present his credentials. He then returns en ac count of his wife's health. The new minister is expected te arrive before the end of March. The principal journals speak in flattering terms of Mr. Lewell. THE HAPPY JfABlILY. Concerning Mr. Cameren's Editor. Xcw Era. Mr. Cameren had te risk tee much te secure his third term unit-arian delegates, in open defiance of the popular will, te take any chances in allowing the people te pass judgment en his usurpation, if he can help it by summoning te his aid all the desperate resources of himself and local lieutenants. Concerning Mr. AVarfei's Editor. Examiner. A restless agitator, who is never happy unless he has some row through the columns of his paper with somebody. In his distempered mind there is always some great crime about te be perpetrated, and when it fails him, he complacently says, ""Well, I prevented it." Mr. Warfel, pack him in ice, cool him down, he is making a " feel of himself." and trying it en your readers. Rebellious Military Students. Twenty-seven students have been ex pelled from the Virginia Military institute, at Lexington, for disobedience of orders and breaking arrest. The dismissed stu dents had requested General Francis II. Smith, the superintendent, te grant them additional suspension from duty, te en able them te prepare for an examination in descriptive geography, which he refused, as he was en the point of leaving for Staun ton en a business yisit. The students re fused te obey the commandant of the insti tute in the superintendent's absence, and were dismissed upon his return. Seme few of the class declined te join the rebel ion and three or four of these who did re turn te duty. MTNOB TOPICS.

' Tue news that Prince Ilohenlehe, the German ambassador at Paris, has been re called te lighten Bismarck's labors at Ber lin, and the rumor that Bismarck himself is meditating a speech of warning if net of menace te France, will net allay the un easiness excited by the proposed increase of the German army. Mr. Grinnell, United States consul at Bremen, predicts a large emigration from Germany te the United States in 1880, owing partly te the contemplated increase of the imperial army. The number of cm igrants in 187'J from Bremen te New Yerk was 26,230 ; in 1878 it was 20,746 an in crease of 5,504, or mere than twenty per cent. Jehn Burroughs, the prophet of out door nature, says : "It is a fact in the natural history of the country that in the Seuth birds run mere te beak and claw, and in the "West te tail, than they de in the North and East. The beak and claw, I take it. mean ferecitv. mean bowie- knives and Kuklux, and the tail, I am leth , ' w . . . te say, means brag. The "West is windy, the Seuth is fierce and het." Tiie New Yerk Herald's Irish relief fund has mounted up te $258,014.93. Its committee has had a meeting in Paris, all being present except Cardinal McCleskey, who has made the archbishop of Dublin his proxy. The committee has concluded that the most urgent need for immediate assistance is in these remoter regions of the country that have as yet scarcely bceu touched by the various committees organ ized in Ireland and England ; and, that, bad as the trouble is new, this may net be the worst of it. Prevision must be made te feed the people for at least three or four months till the next harvest, indeed and therefore that if they are in want and sere stress new their condition must necessarily be worse by and by. The Herald's committee will personally visit and inspect the needy districts. Of the prizes for architectural designs of school buildings awarded in New Yerk, the metropolitan architects wen nine, the first gees te California, a state that is sec ond te none in the attention she pays te her school system in all its branches. The ether prizes go te Bosten, Milwaukee and Philadelphia. The committee declare that they have net been influenced in any way by the exterior architectural features of any plan. It is te be noted that the com mittcc is of the opinion that no school building should occupy mere than half the ground allotted te it that a large build ing cannot properly be lighted unless all four sides contain windows. But out of the huudrcd or mere plans, many of them admirable, that have just been ex amined, the committee does net find one that fully answers all requirements. New Yerk is agitated ever what it deems its insufficient harbor defenses, and the Sun declares that against some of the world's great ironclads the metropolis could offer as weak resistance as an African sea coast village against a British cruiser. The proposed important addition te the present forts and submarine mines is twin screw vessels, carrying each an enormous gun, arranged te fire ever the bow ; steam rams ; and vessels te operate movable torpedoes. The Sun thinks that we had better carry out a skillful method te neu tralize the great foreign ironclads than te spend millions copying them. A well managed ram, a few hundred pounds of dynamite or torpedoes playing around them in deep water, would make these monster vessels only gigantic coffins for their crews. The Telegraph AVar.

A Missing Bride. " Margaret Frederick, nee Lee, of New Yerk, nineteen years old, five feet in height, dark hair and complexion, full face, stout build, blue eyes, were a blue dress, black cloth sacque, black Derby hat, and button shoes ; had three geld rings en her fingers," was married te Ed ward Frederick, a young mechanic, at the Church of the Hely Redeemer, en the 5th of last January.

Jehn Blair disappeared mysteriously. He had sold his farm and put his household goods upon a raft, intending te go te Cincinnati by water. Several weeks afterward his de composed body was found in Piny creek. A small hole was noticed above his right eye, but no attention was paid te this, as it was thought that he had fallen from the raft into the river, striking a sharp stone and causing death.

The Union Bethel Mission Chapel The new mission chapel of the Union Bethel (Church of Ged), erected at the cor ner of Christiau and Grecu streets, was dedicated with appropriate services yester day afternoon. At half-past two o'cleek there was a Union Sunday school service which occu pied about half an hour. The service opened with a song of welcome by the children, after which the lessen of the day was read by Mr. W. A. Lavjrty, superin tendent of the school. Rev. D. A. L. Lav ertj", the pastor, offered a prayer, and fol lowed by giving a brief history of the mis sion, from which it appeared that the Sun day school was first organized en the 1st of June, 1879, in a room in a private house Ne. 509 Christian street. At this meeting thirty five Sunday school children were present, the whole number in attendance including teachers and visitors being fifty, nine. JDn the 21th of June a deed for the let corner of Green and Christian was secured. The let is 46 feet front by 103 feet in depth, the price paid for it being $323. On the even ing of the 23th of June Divine ser vice was for the first time held en the let, a large congregation being in attendance and ground was formally broken for the construction of the new building, by Jehn S. Gable. On the 30th of June the mem bers of the Yeung Men's Temperance Union commenced the work of excavating the cellar, and worked at it almost every evening, after their usual day's work was done, until it was completed. Their work was a free-will offering te the cause of the mission. On the afternoon of the 24th of August the corner-stone was laid by Rev. Laverty in the presence of a large congre gation. The Yeung Men's Temperance Union next organized a fair te raise funds te assist in putting up the building. The fair was held In Relcits's hall, Prince street, opposite Fulton opera house, con tinuing from the 13th te the IStli of Octo ber, and netting about $100. The build ing was proceeded with and with some as sistance from the parent cliuich ras finish ed. It is a substantial and attractive brick building, 32 feet front, 50 feet in depth, anil covered with slate. It is in general appearance net unlike the new African church, having a handsome front with heavy cornice and spacious doers and windows, and, as it is located en high ground, makes quite an imposing appear ance. The interior walls arc finished in white, the pews and pulpit being grained walnut. At the conclusion of the pastor's histor ical sketch of the mission, the children were addressed by Jehn S. Gable, Jacob Lighter, of Iowa ; Peter S. Geedman and Rev. J. F. Wcishaiupel. Between these several addresses there were a number of appropriate hymns sung. The school was then dismissed te nuke room for the large number of persons caigrcgated outside. After the usual preliminary service Rev. A. II. Leng, of Miytewn, preached the dedicatory sermon, lis theme being "the universality of tlu Kingdom of Christ," and his text the 2d verse of the 2d chapter of Isaiah : " And it shall come te pass in the last days tha: the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the meuntaiis, and shall be exalted above the hills ; aid all nations shall flew into it." The reverend speaker quoted largely from the scriptures te show that the kingdom of Christ will be established in all the earth, and quoted from history te prove that the prophecies te this effect are being rapidly fulfilled, and that the signs of the times unmistakably show that the establishment of the kingdom of Christ is near at hand. At the close of the sermon, which was attentively listened te, a collection was lifted which in amount far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the friends of the mission. Rev. J. W.

Tebacc Journal continues its creakings, though it finds nobody as yet te sympathize with it. Its last issue says : The inactivity continues. Everybody in the market leeks sleepy, but nevertheless in conversation evince a commendable hopefulness that as seen as the '79 crop comes into market business will take the shape of the much-talkcd-of-beom, and that the sun of great prosperity will shine directly en Water stnet and vicinity. It will ccrtaiuly be a matter of unusual in terest as te who will be the first seller and buyer of packings of the crop named. There will be such an overwhelming majority of sellers as compared with the purchasers, that the latter will find themselves in a predicament, especially as both the late and early purchasers claim te possess packings of such magnilicance that the very sight of them will be sufficient te threw the prospective buyer into a severe purchasing spasm, and that price will be a thing of net even miner, but of no consid eration at all. Iu the lace of the daily in creasing number of purchasers in and about Lancaster, and also in the tobacco growing regions of Connecticut, packers evince a decidedly jubilant disposition, while the predictions of the U. S. Tobacco Journal are sneered at and treated with haughty contempt. These people probably forget that with every new buyer in the country, another chance of disposing of their own tobacco is lest. Tiiis very acti ity in the country is what will act detrimen tally te the packers who expect te sell their investments in bulk. It almost seems as if the jebbeis, large retail dealers and manu facturers of sonic note are imbued with a spirit of rebellion. They aie turning pack ers, and even if their purchases are net very large they will enable them te bear the market for a long time and till weak hold ers sell out at low figures. The great error of the first buyers of the '79 Pennsylvania crop was that the excellent leeks of the tobacco made them forget the quality that could be had. If they had paid one-half the figures they actually did pay (and they could have done se) and then had purchas ed twice the quantity, the crop would be confined te fewer holders and an easy nut let found iu the jobbers and maiiufai'tuieis. Hopes of an extensive expeit business arc booming up agaiu. Everybody knows thai only cheap tobacco can go te Emepe. and our Pennsylvania and Connecticut leaf has cost tee much te permit its being put te such use. The '79 Ohie and part et the Wisconsin ciep aie at the disposal of the exporters. These, however, de nt t interfere with the hen.e ii;uket if thi-y remain in this country or find users in Europe. The wiseacies who contemptu ously smiled at the earnest apjieals of the If. S. Tobacco Journal early in the packing season, will sorrowfully i egret it when the time comes te sell their he-ealled bar gains. Tiie sales of last week wc enumerate as fellows : Pennsylvania Crep '77 : fiO cases wrap pers, 28 cents; crop '78 : 472 cases running, 15 te 19 cents, fillers, 12j cents.

In your mind ! The lobacce Journal has a long and al leged humerus account e the Bunzl-Rcis-nian fight in this city, with illustration of the teeth lest in the fray.
