tbitber in l754 but the assassination, in the inter
vel, of Tonoms, above mentioned, put an END 70
all hopes, at that time, Of S modification IN the ei-
elusive policy Of the japanese.
Recent events would seem TO have strengthened
the Jsparese snsi-frOg- n-the- well party and II me
accounts of the Cologne Ga-.te can be relied upon
the experiment of European ship-bulding and na-
val tactics seems likely to be introduced into Japan
III der very promising auspices.
The idea and the experiment are, however, maca
older than even the time Of TitsiDgh and Ton 'm,
William Adams, the first Engliahman who visited
Japan, which be did as pilot 70 Dutch vessel,
during bis detention there from 1899 10 1912, built
two ships for the Emperor on the European model
At that time the japanese were decidedly mari

East. They made voyages not merely to the Phil
ippres and the peninsula Of Malacca but even 10
Ber gal and, after an intercourse was opened with
the Spaniards to the Pacific coasts Of Spanish
America. 1t was part of the exclusive japanese
policy subsequently introduced, to suppress this
spirit Of foreign traffic for which, by natural daring
and dexterty, the Japanesesppesr to be particularly
qualified The introduction Of vessels on the
European model and the revival on the part Of the
Jspsne.e themselves of spirit of trading to for

toward the re-intrOduct on Of Japan into the family
of commercial nations.

even unquestioned for the false assumption Of an
authority wich-even suppOsiDg his appointment
as Sheriff to be vald-he did not possess; to batter
down hotels, destroy printing Offices, and to rob
people Of their arms.
So long as we find that in Kansas murder, arson
and robbery go unquestioned, while men are arrested
imprio ned and tried on such frivolous charges as
those above referred to, and tried, too, by men
who ought themselves to stand in the dock, II Is
rather premature to talk about the pacidcation OF
Kansas. As yet it even remains doubtful whether
the infamous Lecompte will be got nd Of Mr.
Toombs, as will be seen by one of our dispatches
from Washington, with very natural feeling seems
determined to make desperate stand for him.

The old division of this city into Wards requires
to be altogether changed in order to properly repre-
sent the population of the city. Can any good rea,

Are the emigabt runners and dOck-wolloper' pos
.essed Of 80 superior degree Of intelligence and
political virtue that they are entitled to larger
share of political power At present they form
the rotten bOro1ghs of the eligible Old Sarum
of New-York All this should be changed, and tho
dviiiOn of the city into Assembly Districts accord
ing TO the late census, presents fit opportunity
to equaize the Wards.
A line drawn from river 10 river in front OF the
City Hall would give one Ward with population
equal to some of the Upper Wards. division
line from Murray street up Broadway 10 the Sixth
avenue and up that Avenue 10 Harlem River, would
form proper base line on each side OF which
Wards, extending to the East and North Rivers,
could be laid out, containing the proper number Of
inhabitants. II Is to be hoped that the present
session will not pass without the accomplishment
Of this just and necessary reform.
