OUR DIPLOMATIC SYSTEM.

We have been favored with copy Of Letter
addressed to the Hon. A. P. BUTLER, Senatorfrom
South Carolina. by WILLIAM Henry TREscoT, of
that State, :" On the Diplomatic System Of the
United States" The Letter, though in print, has
not hitherto been published; but the subject is
public, and of such interest withal that we are
glad to have the opportunity of placing it in our
columns. Mr.. TREscoT became favorably known
on the field of diplomatic history and literature by
the publication, year or two ago, of work emit
tied The Diplomacy of the Revolution" which
was noticed, with the commentator it well deserved,
in the columns of this journal of the 4th of Septem
Der, 1892, in communication from one of our old
subscribers and friends-hmselfa an eminently quail
fed commentator on such matters Mr.. TREscoT has
since been Secretary to our Legation in London
and we have reason to know that the post was con-
ferred on him, without any application or approach
on his part to obtain it, by our late able and ae-
compshed Secretary of State, on the merits of the
above production. Our diplomatic system is still,
under some aspects, new and unframed, its ten
denotes to eccentric movement seem to be becoming
more and more SO pcrceptble, and SO few of our
citizens who are endowed with the proper quail
fcatons give their time and study to the treatment
of it on broad and elevated grounds, that Mr. EVE
RETT's attention was naturally attracted to this
effort of Mr.. TREscoT; and his recent experience
in the London Legation, though brief, may be sup
posed to have enlarged his opportunities Of obser-
walton and knowledge.
Without expressing opinions on all his positions
in this Letter to the distinguished Senator of his
State, we may at least say that that name in con-
junction with the writer's past investigations of
the subject, fully cntitle the Letter to large
perusal. We mainly urge the probable benefits to
be derived from more permanence in our diplomatic
corps, and better compensation to its incumbents.
-Four new Ministers to London during period Of
about six years four to Berlin within the same
time four to Paris, when the fresh appointment
supposed to be intended is made-we believe we are
nearly if not quite right in this rapid recapitula-
ton, and we omit the frequent changes at st. Pc
tersburgh from our inability at the moment to
recall them agive striking, not to say startling,
account of the instability Of our foreign appoint
ments We allude to them as facts, intending no
more at present than to invite attention to Mr..
TREsCoT's Letter.

GOOD HOPE FOR IRELAND.

We are sure that not less than ninety-nine hun
dredths of our readers will unite with US in the
glow of satisfaction we experienced when the fol
lowing portion of the contents of letter from
gentleman of high responsibility in Ireland to his
friend in Washington were first communicated to
us. That new era should have dawned on Old
Ireland-for it is no less-s fact second to none
in point of gratifying interest which has occurred
in our age, at least:
81 suppose you have been to the New York Exhibition
and that il is very beautiful show Our Irish Exhbi-
ton has fully equalled surpassed expectations in all
ways but one namely, that fear it will pay the
cost Of getting it together The building about
seven acres, rather more and well filed There
two large picture galleries collected from various parts
Of Europe and have many good pictures
in room-I modern pictures-as are here dis
played 1t is the great feature of the Exhibition. The
Irish lace and muslin aeork is also extremely beautiful
This is branch of industry which had its origin in the
charitable exertions Of few ladies during the araia
years prior which there scarcely any thing of the
kind done in Ireland So great the change now that
the last statistical report four hundred thou
sand persons in various parts Of the island more or
less employed IL this kind of labor and the produce
to several millions sterling. Some the mothers and
elder children only engaged sewing for
part Of their time the younger ones, boys well
girls fully employed Teachers have been imported from
Belgium and France to a model school in Dublin where
every variety of 6obb lace is made and whence
trained pupils scattered the country So that in
few years Ireland will produce lace and rpy enough
for oil the world At present the engaged cannot
supply fast enough the demand especially since the
Australian market has been added to the others This
activity Of labor together with the drain Of population
from emigration has advanced the prcesof every thing
here, and at the time added greatly the comforts
Of the laboring poor. rapid change for the better
at last dawnng for poor Ireland If the politicians
will only let us alone. In politics, however, we are as
bad as ever"
