been admired bad be been 90 Outside, instead OF an
inside barbarian, made every concession which
cauId be made consistently with honor and equity.
We think DO one csn read the corresPondeoce With
out beng convinced that Admiral SeJ mour was d.
teruined at al hazards 10 force ms way INTO Can
ton. This vas tie project Of pirate and no: OF
Christian and civilized commander; and we think
Il no. a. all improbable tina: the course both Of the
Prti.b Admiral and Consul will be disayowed
BIZ the British Government. In such case, what
ever obloquy usy attach 10 the sttack upon much
abused people must be shared by the nited states.
And in TIM. II must be conf sed, we seem 70 have
incurred most unnecessary responsibility. The
story of three American beads sent INTO Canton.
ard exhibited upon the walls Of that city, seems 20
us little spocryphal. We should Ike, IN the first
place 20 be sure that they were American heads at all
and in The next place, We should Ike to b. sure that
they were no. tie heads Of Americans VITO IN the
souabbes of the time had not taken sn active part
against the Chinese. In the matter Of the Barrier
Forts We think il must be conceded tina: the Amer
lean commander certainly in the first place acted
with rashness and with undue severity. The
truth. We suspect, is that our naval officers
SO seldom smell empower thst they are too resdy
for brush and for little gun practice, particu-
lsrly against stOcksde forts. We do not relish the
.vidiiy with which post-c,ptsns change Themselves
into plenipotentisnes and unmn dful Of the ameni-
ties Of diplomacy, exchange round-shOt iRstead Of
notes. In this case Or. Parker, our duly ac-
credited representative appears to have e1eried
himself 10 the utmost 10 preserve peace, and there
is no evidence that be finally acque.ced in the pro-
ceediDes. At pref@t, ne spPears TO have been
laughed down. sneered down and snubbed By the
Anglo Chinese newspapers.
1t will be said that the Chinese are peculiar
people and We shall hear much of their arrogance
and txcusipness Al nations have their pecu-
lariiies, and other nations are a. arrogant and ex-
elusive as their necessities will permit them 10 be.
If shy Of intercourse with other peoples, il must be
remembered that the Chinese are self-sustalned,
and only desire Of the rest of the world TO let them
sore. Commercial cupidity has already forced
upon them, at the pont Of the bayonet, conventions
and treaties which are dstasteful 10 them, and un-
der the impOstiOns Of which they are naturally
restye If this game is to b. tried again, We sim
cerely trust that no hope Of mercantile advantages
i'll lead the United States h participate in the dis
graceful enterprise.

shown the result 70 be the choice Of Republican

We print to-day the report Of the House Com
nittee on TOonbss bill. which passed the Senate at
the last session, 10 authorize proceeding, toward
Organizing State Government in Kansas. Upon
81 historical review Of the anomalous social and
pot cal condition of that Territory, the Committee
find the state Of things 10 be such that to secure
free ard unsdutersted expression Of popular
opinion 81 the polls requires safeguards OF new
and extraordinary character. resident minority,
assisted b. mob of invasive voters from Missouri,
have succeeded in reducing the majority OF the
population TO complete and most tyrannic,l sub
lection. The Committee do not perceive in the
bill from the Senate any safeguards sganst the per-
petua.on of this abuse at au adequate to the
emergency, airy security for the free expression OF
opinion upon tie question OF state organization,
OF for any free action at the polls in the election Of
delegates 10 form a constitution. The bill Itself
gives even 8 certain countenance to past frauds
ard yiClences, and an encouragement 70 their repe-
ttion by recognizing as valid the local legislature
elected by such means. 1t proposes, indeed, so
far as the elections provided for IN are concerned,
TO supersede that legislature by placing those cleo
tons and all regulations concerning them in the
hands of five commissioners to be appointed by
the Pres dent; but the committee have not been
able to discover anything in the character of the
Presidential appointments hitherto made for that
Territory, or in the Presidents general course IN re-
lation TO the outrsges committed there TO inspire
them with any confidence in the impartality of {,
Poard the appointment Of which should emanate
from him.
One great security much relied upon when the
bill passed the Senate was, tina. the election pro-
yded for in il was 10 have been held on the same
day with the Presidential election, when the Mis-
sourians would be busy at home. The lapse OF
time has nulifed that security against invasive
voting; and the other provisions on the subject be-
ipu examined one by one, are found wholly made
quate to the emergency.
But why provide for forming q State Constitu-
ton when Kansas has already formed one, and
that in exact conformity to presidents, and is sus-
tanned in Der right to DO so BY the doctrines on
this subject of the Democratic party repeatedly
enunciatedl Even this very bill admits the expe-
diency and propriey Of the erection OF Kansas into
a State The only question that remains seems to
be, does the State Constitution already formed
enbody the views and meet the approval Of the
majority Of the people of Kansas The Committee
believe that it does, and they consider that fac! to
be established BY certain statistics Of the Kansas
elections which they embody with their Report.
Such being the case, they recommend as a .ubsti-
tute for the Senate bill bin to admit Kansas as
State under the Constitution which she has already
formed.

A Chief Engineer Of the Fire Department is to
Sc chosen tomorrow by the votes Of the liremen.
There are two canddates-Afred Carson the
prestnt Chief Engineer, and Harry Howard, now
Receiver Of Taxes, lucrative Office which he will
probably continue to hold even ii he achieves thi.
new honor.
Mr. Carson is an experienced Chief Engineer,
and good officer. Perhaps better man for the
place might possibly be found but tina. man Is GER
tanly net Mr. Howard. He is totally unfit 20 be
charged with its responsibilities; but he ought
above all. 20 be defeated because he is the can
ddaie Of Fernando Wood, who aspires TO control
the Department and convert il into political ma
chine for his own purposes. Ii our Judgment no
greater calamity could befa the Department than
its prostitution TO the uses Of political partsanshP
such as that. We Al know what benefits have
been derived from the establishment Of the Board
of Commissioners, by which the general sdmini'-
trstion OF the Department has bees taken out OF
the very mire in which such calamity would
bury it anew. We trust, then, that the hremen
will to morrow indicate their own sense OF their
personal dignity and the interests Of their n)ole
organization by eectipg Alfred Carson, snd keep
rg politics, rowdyism and political intrig1e' on! OF
the control Of the Department.

erre.trr the Judge of the Federal Court OF Washing

dollar in the HANDS Of such man. and thought that IN
the days Of the Roman Supremacy no outrage equal TO
this was ever pepeused in he most remote province
of that empire.
Debate r5lowed respecting the policy pursued toward
the Indian tribes on the Pacific Coast.
Amendments were then agreed on approprating
