A great man is dead! Great Iks
icause he had acquired iuimcu.se wealth;
great because he had, during his life,
given princely sums to objects of be.
nevoleuce and generosity; great be
cause he devised a way of 'distinguish
ing himself throughout the world en
tirely different from the ways pursued
by other men of similar ability.
George Peabody rs dead. It would be
pleasant if wc could always agree with
every one else in opinion, and it would
seem as if we ouht to, for it is prop
erly averred that, "what everybody
eays must be true but wc are sorry
to say that wc cannot receive this doc
triner for there has' been more than one
case of one man holding views opposed
to those Of the whole intelligent world;
jet, by and by, the world changing its
opinion completely and the one man
turning out to be right, after all.
When any one', by specially satisfac
tory conduct, has become popular, there
is!2iardly anything too good for people
to say of him. We have Mr. Pea-
body compared with Washington as of
crjual merit and entitled to public grat-
itudeybut wc beg to say, that is all
wrong.
Mr. Peabody has dispensed, in this
country, if our information is correct
some six millions of dollars out of a
fortune of about thirty-five. 1 This '.ho
has given to various public institutions,
selected by himself in favorite Jocali
tics circumscribed within limits never
ample in all their operations of benifi
cence ind good. Ho has arranged all
' J
the machinery of donations in his own
way,'hcdging them about with any and
all conditions that seemed agreeable,
and putting the disposing power in the
hands of his personal friends. lie has
done this silting in the midst of alHu
ence and case, apart from all personal
hardshirp, and with the whole world
waiting with fresh praises for his next
generous act. He has done these thiugs
with moncy amassed, not by the lone
labors of the pioneer or the wearisome
stroke of the artisan, but by the quiet
growth of compound interest, that
bloomed 'and budded while he slept.
No personal dangers have beset him,
no enemies have hated htm for his suc
cess. At one time bankrupt, it is
said, he retrieved his credit by walk
ing through tho streets, arm in arm
with llottvchilds. We have not heard
of his rising up as tho champion of
principle or venturing his gold, aLany
time, inj opposition to wrong. ( "vuth
saijliy always spread and favorableNvjds
blowing from a sunny sky, his treasure
ship has- sailed steadily on, year after
year; to land her shining cargo at la-t,
for the wonder and adulation of man
kind. ! t
Dut what comparison .can be math;
between such a carter and that of
George Washington ' A man bred to
the hardships of the camp, and that in
a day thaa fiord cd few of the military
comforts of our. A man? full 'of the
harsh -experience of border life, who
had studied the savage, and who stood
between the men of 'raddock and de
struction ; a man whoso po:eat moral
instinct, despite the opinion of the
world, made him siriko boldly for the
cau-e of the injured and wronged.
though it brought a price upon his
head arfd danger upon all his earthly
possessions. How tltaH wc compare
the rich man of peace, who never lack
ed for some one to carry him ami fan
him while he slept, to the mau of pain
and anxiety ; who felt- the crnhing
frosts ofValley Forge, and whose se
rene spirit was g)orifi.?d amid floating
ice at the crossing of the Delaware
and as the sacrifice so the result 1 Njt
single counties not States even, re?ap
today the fruits of his prayers nod
toils of: the Father of his country, but
every quit t home, every bu y work
shop, every saenid spire and .inerry
school yard are testimonies all over the
land to the blessed influence of "that
man's disinterested will, who stood out
in the days of darkness to be a leader
and deliverer for a people oppressed.
We would not in any'wise underrate
Mr. Peabody or his benefactions, but
we respect fully ask what he has done
iuot tLan his duty? What should
wc have said of the man who, out of
the profits of trade and discounts",
piled up thirty-five millions of dollars,
if he had not dispensed any of it?
Whatever mrsy be said of the rights of
property, there is an inatc and native
conviction in tho human mind that
! . '
the milHonairc who refuses to contrib
ute toj the institutions and enterprises
of his j day, and to forward by his lib
eralityi the better .development of all
that is good in man, is a species of
monster. Mr. Peabody b free of
blame; in this thing, but what more ?
The wealth that flowed to him from tho
industry of the people he has returned
to the; people again, and so ho tdiould.
Say what' wc will, he is only a fine
cxamplo of a class, of whom the truest
judgment is, that tlfey are ouly agents
for the Giver of wealth, for the order
ing of His bounty into channels it
would not reach while dispersed among
the multitudes. That kindness, phi
lanthropy and a regard for human good
had deep and strong play among his
motives may not be questioned, yet
even here he cannot be compared will
John Howard and Elizabeth Fry. His;
charity to the London poor has eccur-
cd him a burial from Westminister Ab
bey, but wo do no hear that his plan
includes any way of lessening tho ranks
of the great army of pauperism. He
scatters gold in the crowd in a splendid
manner, but to-morrow the' crowd are
as drunken and squalid, and lordridden
as ever, and so he leaves them.
W. O. P.
Ni;w YcIrk. March 8. The excite
ment in the gold market to-day, has
bceu without parallel since September
last. The anxiety of some gold deal
ers assumed a shape of mania, the
equal of which was never before wit
nessed. In the room the fluctuations
were unusually frequent. Dealers; re
corded nearly one hundred changes
during the day. The seOnewas almost
indescribable. Everywhere in financial
and commercial circles j the gold q ues
tion was the great topc of conversa
tion, as it continued its' downward
course. It was felt through all the
ramifications of business. The excite
racnt was intensified by all manner of
rumors front Washington, which caused
repeated fluctuations in price. The
decline gold had a tendency to fur
ther .unsettle business in mercantile
circles, and Wc-len .prices. This was
particularlyapplicable to tho depart
ment of dry goods.
CnieAUo, .Uarcli V. cv lork
specials say that the gold clearance in
Wall street, yesterday, exceeded 10,
000,000. The bulls suiTered fearfully,
and many rumors.of ft inures wera cir
culated. Dawson & Hopkins arc re
ported to have lost to exceed- half a
million. It is generally believed that
f prominent parties in Washington were
interested iu the gout speculation ana
invested .largely. There is great distrust-in
the drv sroods market, aud fail
ures arc predicted.
Washington, March S. The Pres
ident, in a communication to the House
to day, iue!oes a communication from
the Secretary of the Interior, relative
to the obligations of Congress to make
the necc-sary appropriation .U carry
out the Indian treaties made by thtj
Peace Commissioners' in 18(17. The
President earnestly desires that' if the
Indians are to become unmanageable
the Government, at lea.-t, should not
be responsible. Tho .Secretary of the
Interior says that compklnts arc made
hy Indians in all the Territories of ,the
'.encroachment of tho whites on their
reservations, and this lack of faith in
the promise of the Governmnnt. hx
peditioas arc constantly being fitted
out by the whites to explore tl.dlr res
ervations in search of mines or for the
purpose of settlement. Reports from
every quarter show that the uncertain
ty in regard to the-policy to bo pur
sued by the Government, and especial
ly in reference to treaties mado in 18(17,
has produced a general disorganization
The whites and settlers are denying the
rights of the "Indians, and tho laUtr
arc upbraiding the whites with breach
.f faith. Tho Secretary expresses his
belief that a fair investigation would
show that it is unfair to put the wliole
blimo on tho savage. lie concludes
by saying, asida from any objections of
a Christian nature, under suen circum
stances, ho thinks as a mre question
of economy, it will be, better to feed
every adult Indian during his natural
lif?, while the children are educated to
self support by agriculture, than it
would be to carry on a general Indian
war for a single year. He urges the
giving policy throughout.
The House resumed consideration of
the Georgia bill. Paine offered an
amendment that nothing in the bill
shall be coustrued to prolong or renew
the term of office of the Representa
tives from Georgia. Peckwith with
drew his snbstttute. believing no legis
lation necc-sary. Pingham offered the
bill and offered an amendment that
nothing contained in the bill should be
construed to vacate any office now filled
in Georgia, cither by election or ap
pointment., nor extend the official term
of any ofiicer nor deprive the people oft
Georgia or the nht to elect foermtors
nod Ucpresentatives in 1870. He do.
clarcd he would count himself lishon
ored aud a perjured man if ho ever re
corded his vote in favor of tho bill
Without these limitations he believed
the passage of the bill would endanger
the Fifteenth, Fourteenth and perhaps
tho Thirteenth Amendments. Davis,
of New York, advocated the bill, and
defended the character of Governor
1 Jul lock -
Tho Committee of tho District of
Columbia have been instructed to re-
port a bill repealing the city charters
of Washington and Georgetown, and
provide a system of government bnng
ing everything relating to tho capital
j0f the country under more direct con
trol of Congress and tic Executive.
New YwtK, March7 8 - Gen. Quo
sada has written for the Cuban Junta
a reportj of the operations of the Cu
ban army during the opening scenes
of .tho war. IIo claims that the gov
ernments of the United States and
Great Britain arc ignorant of what has
happened in Cuba in consequence of
the facility with which the Spaniards
can disseminate false reports. The
Gcnejal is expected in Washington to
day, srul it is believed that he will wait
on the Secretary of State and present
his credentials as "CubanAajbassador.
There is much excitement among Cu
baus here and in Washington on the
subject, j as a uumber of influential
members of Congress are represented
to favor Quesada's pretensions. 4
