Mrs. McMABsN AND THE PREss.--The city
press, with one or two exceptions, assailed the
lady who recently made Der dtbm at the Acade-
my with unprecedented severity. Such how'd
ing has never been heard since the time when the
bears dined off the forty and two wicked youths
that Knocked the Prophet Elijah The Bufaoes
couldn't compare with it. The reviewers have
evidently been astonshed by their own rashnes..
and somewhat frightened withal. The lady con-
tinues her performances earnestly struggling to
become Americas brightest daughter" but the
newspapers say nothing more about her. Per-
baps they have exhausted their supply of invec
tive or perhaps they begin to be afraid that they
may be brought up to the riDgbolt and compel.
cd to pay six OF ten thousand dollars damages
each for killing off an incipient trggtd,mne She
Is not quite killed yet as it appears, and bears up
with astonishing heroism under the circum
stances. No one doubts that she has energy and
perseverance, and they will overcome great OBJ
staeles In the meantime we trust that the pre-.

chief of the socialist party-a man of remarka
BILE abilities, but Of impracticable views-suc
ceeded in throwing the empire into confusion by
his theories during several successive regns, and
the result of Els efforts at reform was only to
render still worse the condition of those whom
ne desired to benefit. IL is curious how in dife-
rent states of society, at two different epochs of
the worlds history, and amongst nations SO en-.
trey distinct in their characteristics as the French
and Chinese, the same causes should have worked
out such identical results. Politically speaking,
at the present moment the condition of the one
people is but little better than that of the other
The reason is that the political experiments of
both have all been carried out on wrong princi
pies, and that the Encyclopedias were guilty of
as many bunders as were the early Chinese re.
formers.
The above facts viii show, we think, that not
only must all great social and political changes
amongst the Chinese originate with themselves.
but that they have arrived at phase of their
condition which must bring about some extensive
and proximate disturbance in their present poti-
cal system. The movement headed by Thae-
png-W ang to which a religious character was
sought to be impaired is in fact only an up-
heaving OF the discontinued masses against the
despotism under which they are grooming, and
which is not the less oppressive because it is the
tyranny of pedant aristocracy. 1t is to great
internal commissions like these and not to the op-
eratioDs Of few ships of war, that we must look
for the prospects of an extended intercourse with
China and the opening up of her internal COM
merce to the rest of the world. Four hundred |
millions of people animated by common senti-
ment Of contempt for Western manners and civil
lization are not to be terrified by means so made
quate into the abandonment of measures which
they deem necessary to their security.

We don't know, but we have many rea-
