J. G.. Birney on Colonization.

James G. Birney is not dead, or YVES not
on the goth ult., when he wrote letter
from Cincinnati to his brother in Phiadel
phia. But he has written an Address to
the Colored People" recommending Emit
grafton TO Liberia. I'VE know that, for. we
have it now before us. Ii concludes with an
elaborate and unsparing Examination Of
the Decision Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, in the case of Stroder, Cor
man and Armstrong against Christopher
Graham "a slave case decided over year
since. The whole pamphlet is Intensely and
elOquently Anti-SlaveIy in its spirit, as was
TO be expected; for when we said on Mon.
day that Mr.. Birney was reported as having
abandoned his ultra Abolition yiews.n we
referred to that sort of Abolition which
quarrels with every thing that isn's Adolf
tion, and therefore with African Colonial
ton, because shareholders are among its ad.
vocates.- MIR. Birney in his pamphle. ar.

Hanging n Remedy.

The Tines lately adduced the fact that
solitary imprisonment for a great length
of time tends to produce insanity, as an
argument against the substitution of the
prison for the gallows as a punishment for
murder. In such cases the dictate of mer.
cy, according to The Times, was to hang
the criminal rather than expose him to men,
tai alienation. A similar argument may
be drawn from the following paragraph in
the recent report Of the special Legislative
Comittee upon the condition of our prisons ::
" In the course ofthe investigation, the com pt,ee
were struck WITH he numerous cases OF mental
alienation amons the conyicts. much larger
number Of the inmates Of our prisons are more or
less insane than the public imagine, or than the
officers OF the prisons themselves seem to be fully
aware. Indeed, II is matter Of doub. whether aay
pSTson comes out OF prison, after serving out a
sentence OF SIX or more years, with toeraoly
sound mind"
This being the fact The Times, to be
consistent, must at once go for abolishing
for all oilenses that are now
punished with six or more years, and for re.
tuning to the good old English practice of
hanging the culprit. If humanity requires
US to ill murderers, il would seem to be
much more imperative in the case OF bur-
glars, horse thieves, counterfeiters and the

Exploration of the China Seas. &c.

Mr. SEWARD, from the Committee on Com
merce, reported a bill to the United States
Senate, for the employment of one or two small
vessels, with competent officers, to explore those
seas in the line of our commerce and navigation,
to and from China II is said that the bill viii

will probably be appointed to the command OF
the expedition. The following is Mr.. Stewards
report, which will be found to contain interest
ing facts
The Committee Commerce to whom referred

That in the summer OF 1913, Captain koyS, OF the
whale ship Superior penetrated the Arctic Ocean
through Behrng Strait, and encountered all the dan
gers of Polar Sea une xpored, but that his enter
prize richly rewarded, and that since that time
regions thus explored That in this trade, during
the last two years, there have been employed two
hundred and ninety-Dine ships eight thousand nine
hundred and seventy seamen ana that the value of
the ships and cargoes was seventeen and half mil
iiOIs OF dollars, and OF the oil AMI wheleb0ne OBJ
tanned about nine millions but that the disasters
attending the trade had been unusually caamitous.
Seven vessels were wrecked within the las: year,
and there painful reports of others
There is no chart OF these seas, AMI IL Is so mani
testify the interest and duty OF the nted States to
pToect ana iSSlef 50 greas commercial enterprise,
that the Committee do not think it necessary TO en-
large upon this subject.
The trade with CElna and other Oriental States has
received new impulse from the colonization OF
California by the United States, under crcums!an-
ces sngularly proptious, and steam navigation al
reae opening ~ltn certain prospects eat and Cd
curing enlargement.
But It is known to all persons engaged in that
commerce, that the travereed are full of perils
OF which there Is no sufficient warning in existing
charts or In the experience OF navigators. Every
consideration Of commercial interest, of naval COM
petition, and of humanity, enjoins upon the Govern
ment an exploration and reconnaissance OF seas

MEETING OF GERMAN REvoLUTIoNIsTs.-
A Congress of German Republicans, who place
their hopes for the freedom OF their country IN a
successful revolution was held at Philadelphia
on the 2gth, 3Oth and 3lst ult. Mr. y Schmltt
was chosen President, Messrs. Wagner and
Furst Vice. Presidents, and Messrs. Gopp, krug
and Never Secretaries The meeting was adj
dressed by Mr.. Gogg Of the London Agitation
Union, who urged union and perseverance among
the German patriots Prolonged and able dis
cussions were also had upon the various points
brought before the meeting. The organization
of en- Anerican Revolutionary Union for Europe
was determined on, and the following platform
adopted
object Of the Union.--The practical emancipation
of the European Continent and therefore
al Tire overthrow OF Monarchy and the establish
me Mt OF the Republic because II Is only by the re-
public that the enorZltles OF tyranny can DC Pfe-
vented.
80 Universal and direct suffrage, and the right OF
the majority the electors TO revoke their represen-
:sives because thereby, the future institutions Will
most surely be founded upon the will Of the people.
80 Abolition OF standing armies and inylolaollty
Of the peoples right TO bear arms, because 1t Is only
by the hnal possibility OF violent resistance that me
final possibility of violent usurpaton is prevented
81 For these ends, let all persons, societies. par
ties and nations combine, so as to destroy the op-
prsssors OF the people-because, without such com,
binaiion il is impossible TO overcome the disciplined
power Of tyrants. /.
Neans-a Agitation as well in Europe as In
America b. Collection of revolutionary fund c.
Formation into military corps OF those VINO wish
personally take part IN the struggle, and VINO Will
be drilled for the purpose beforehand"
1t is proposed to extend this organization
among the Germans in the country, with State
Committee at the capital of each State, and
Central Committee either at NewYork or Phil
adelphia at present this Committee is fixed at
the latter city. Its office is to have charge OF
the revolutionary fund and generally 10 manage
the concerns of the Revolutionary Union. 1t
will have a representative in the European Cen
trail Committee at London. 1t also calls future
general meetings or Congresses OF the Union.
Such Congress has been called at New-fork
for the 18th of May next. 1t is hoped that this
movement may unite the party of Kinkei with
that of the London Agitation Union in harmo-
monious efforts for the great end they have III
common.
