Great Britain the Tories went to the country with
lie cry for full and cotnplcte reparation for the in-
jury inflicted on the Empire through the action of
the Fenian organizations, what would be sai 1 in
America? Ye t t hey have the same .2iglit to do s', and
those who believe that if war is to break out between
the countries the soonar the better, consider that if
inevitable, the Republican party work in E•igland's
interest. Such are not party questions, and can only
be introduced into a platforin for the low object of
catching a very bad class of votes, the open disp!ay
of which does much to bring Republican institutions
into contempt. It is evident that the party in
California is in a bad way, or the resolutioa favour-
ing Chine3e immigration, but opposing Chinese
suffrage, could not have been passed. Expanded
to its full meaning, it becomes a simple subversion
of the principle whereon the party is founded. A
similar resolution might have been adopted before
the war in the South by those who desired a renewal
of the Slave Trade. It means the import of labour
without the rights of citizens, without the protec-
tion of the law, without that political equality for
which the btruggle was fought. Nor is it only op-
posed to Republican principles; for, being endorsed
by the nation equality was embodied in the two last
amendments to the Constitution, which it therefore
militates againstas well as against the natonal senti-
ment. Nor can we.see the gain to grasp which the Re-

publicans have forged s 'effective a weapon for their
opponents. Southerners always F•ai&l that Radical
theories were very line while they affected others only,
buta different matter when affecting Radicals them-

selves. The negro question inOliio audiu Gcorgia are

two distinct thillg4, for when the measure which

Ohio insisted on for Georgia was proposed for Ohio
its citizens objected. In California a quoition not
wholly dissimilar to negro slavery is arising, and is

directly favoured by a resolution like this in the

Republican platform. Hence they propose to build up
on the Pacific slope a condition of society which they
smothered in blood in the Southern States, a con-
tradiction of which the Democrats will not be slow

- •W
to avail themselves. A section of the latter party
desire altogether to exclude Chinese, which would
perhaps be a lesser injustice to that people ; but
whatever its effect on them, it would at least pre.
vent the growth on the Pacific slope of that state of
society which iu the South led to the Civil War,
embodying principles which run counter to Republi-
can institutions and the general tone of American

sentiment. They cannot be endorsed by the Re-
publican party in the Eastern States ; they could
not be carried into practice, for they would be op-
posed to the Constitution when the XVth Amend-
ment is adopted ; and all they can do is to give the
Democratic party an opportunity of contrasting Re-
publican doctrine on the shores of the Atlantic and

of the Pacific as an argument against their oppo-
nents. It may suit employers of labour in Cali-
fornia, but not the employed who desire the exclu-

don of the Chinese, and we cannot therefore see
how such a resolution will even attract votes.

The North German Correspondent says :—" There
are at this moment 1,962 students at the University of
Berlin. Of those 403 are foreigners, chiefly Americans, Eng-
lish, and Scotch. There are no less than 60 American stu-
dents, sons of rich planters from the Southern States of the
Union."—Dr. H. Vogel, who was a member of the North-
German expedition sent last year to observe the total
eclipse of the sun, has been invited to join the new
one fitted out by the Government of Washing-
ton to make observations and take photographs
of the great solar eclipse of the 7th August next,
which will be visible in the United States.—Ac-
cording to the official report of the North-German
Consulate in Yokahama (Japan), in the year 1868, 376
vessels entered that port, with a total burden of
291,229 tons. Of these 178 (87,279 tons) were British,
102 (155,128 tons) American, 44 (17,884) North Ger-
man, anti 29 (24,764 tons) French vessels. There
sailed from the same port 329 ships (219,149 tons),
of which 169 (80,896 tons) were British, 95 (154,759 tons)
American, 39 (15,238 tons) North German, and 25 (20,939
tons) French. The great monthly British, American, and
French mail steamers aro included among the shipaig of
their respective countries, which of course tends to redtice
considerably the proportion of vessels under the North
German flag. In the same year 114 ships, with a united
tonnage of 40,815 tons, entered the port of Kakodale, 40 of
which (12,370 tons) were British, 33 (14,082 tuns) Ameri-
can, `21(7,901 tons) North-German, and 5 (1,372 ►tons)
French. The number of vessels which sailed from Kako-
dale was in nearly the same proportion as that of the
arrivals.

The ocean steamers running between New York
and Europe are 85 in number, owned ono-half by five
companies, and the remainder by ten companies. The
Cunard line own 14, the Inman 10, the National 9, and 1
ou the stocks ; the Hamburg American Packet Company 10,
and the North German Lloyd 10. The more important of
the others are the Anchor line, which owns 7 ; the Wil-
liams and Guion line, 5 ; the R .gers' American lino 5 ; the
General Transatlantic Company, 5 ; and the London and
New York Steamship line, 4. With the means of loco-
motion at present in Use a tour round the world may be
ma.Ll2, in 80 days. The itinerary is as follows : —Paris to
New York, 11 days ; to San Francisco (rail), 7 ; Yoko-
hama (steamer), 21 ; Hong Kong (steamer), 0 ; Calcutta
(steamer), 12 ; Bombay (rail), 3 ; Cairo (steamer and rail),
14 ; Cairo to Paris (steamer and rail), 6; total, 81. Of that
immense route, the only portion on which steam is not
used is about 140 miles between Allahabad and Bombay,
and that interruption will shortly cease, as the works for
completing the railway are being carried on actively.
