JArAN.-The Emperor of Japan has made
large concessions of privileges to American
residents. He has released them from per-
sonal surveillance-given them the right of
trading freely with the natives, and allowed
them the right to travel into the interior.
We are likely to gain many volumes of
curious and interesting information of this
singular people, as the result of these new
grants to visitors to the Islands. The En-
peror is represented as very enlightened
man, and his chief advisers are men of ca
pacity and intelligence. The expedition under
Com. Perry, carried models of q railway and
the electric telegraph, MS presents to the En-
pcror. His Majesty was greatly pleased with
both, and had the latter fixed up in his pal
ace; he thoroughly understands it, and appre-
cistes its importance. He has ordered that a
line of telegraph shall be constructed from
Jeddo, his capital, to simoda, where Prince
Hayashi is to reside.

ANTI-LECOMPTON TRIUMPH!
TELEGRAPH.

This morning gives the arrival Of the
Arabia. with Liverpool dates to the Oath
ult. The aspect of the commercial news
is favorable. All the money markets Of
Europe were rapidly improving.
The hare-up in the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes on Saturday, which was more
the effects Of too frequent rotations than
Of sectional animosities, is likely to lead
to no further trouble. The parties are
content with the glory already won.
The Administration Defeated. - The
vote on the reference of the Kan
sas Message to the Committee under
Mr.. Harris's resolution, is triumph for
the contemporaries, and signal de-
feat of the Administration in the House.
The signs are now that the House will
sustain the Douglas doctrine, and the
Administration must yield or fall. In
dications Of a desire to compromise are
already visible.
The Lecompton Constitution has re
ceived its death blow. We are curious
to learn how the Representative from
the first District, in this State, voted on
this important question. This vote will
have its effect upon the Senate, and mo
dify the sentiments and conduct of some
of IT'S members.

THE CANAL SwINDLE.-The Sullivan DEM
ocrat, commenting on the silence of the sth Of
January Convention in regard to the scheme
for re-transferring the Wabash Canal to the
State, confirms what We have long believed
was the design of certain political leaders.
1t says:
"We have well-grounjed fears that this
grand scheme OF villainy and robbe.y will
yet be accomplished. unless the people are
watchfGl Of their interests. The question
should be agitated at every election. Only
those should be elected to the Legislature
who will pledge themselves to oppose it at all
times and in every way. The bondholders
have not given up the scheme merely because
the Legislature saw fit to pass the resolution
in question. They obtained foothold last
winter, when they succeeded in getting their
memorial" spread upon the journals. They
did not ask any action them they only wanted
the matter to be considered by the people.
That is just what we want, also. We wish
it to 60 before the people, with the great
Democratic party of the State fully COM
mitted against it. No reasonable man will
doubt that an attempt will certainly be made
to induce the Legislature to assume the canal
debt, and the application will just as surely
be backed up by MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
"Thc bondholdcrs are with those who
oppose the Mass Convention :"

DIRECT SOUTHERN TRADE WITH EUROPE
The Hon. Ballard Preston was sent as del
egate from the Convention held at Bristol,
Virginia, last Autumn to promote u direct
trade from the Chesapeake to Europe. The
project was to establish line of steamers
from Norfolk to England or France. Mr..
Preston succeeded in making a very favora
bic arrangements with French steamship
company who have agreed to run line from.
Norfolk TO Orleans, in France for freight and
passengers. There are no reasons but the
want of the right sort of commercial habits
in the people of Virginia why they should
not have large commercial city on the
waters OF the Chesapeake. Norfolk has the
finest harbor on the American coast. If the
Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee
railroads which now terminate at Petersburg
and Richmond could be extended to Norfolk,
as the common depot. there could be concen-
trtaed at that port large portion of the trade
of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, the
Southern portions of Kentucky, and of North
Alabama, region extensive and fertile and
| =
est commercial cities on the continent. Nor
folk is the nearest Atlantic harbor for the
whole region South of the Ohio, and Eas,
of the Mississippi. 1t possesses every natu-
raj advantage for a depot of foreign COM
merce. 1t can easily be connected with the
extensive systems of Internal improvements
that arc rapidly being extended through
Virginia, North Carolina, and through Ten
nessee to the Banks of the Mississippi, and
thence beyond towards the Pacific. Thes,
connecting with the beautiful Bays, capaci
Gus harbors, deep rivers and noble road
steads, ought to build up city on the arm
of the sea where nature seems to have de-
signed location for the maritime metropo-
lis of the country. Such city would de
much to cement the bonds of the Union, an6
the people of every section would rejoice t.
see Virginia availing herself of her position
to build up such a commercial mart.
