PoLITICs AND RELIGION IN JApAN---AccordiDg to
statements made TO the Philadelphia Ledger, the Ja-
panese have temporal and spiritual Emperor.
They are thus abundantly safe in this and the next
world Their spiritual chief is real body and soul
but resides in the interior and is wholly invisible to
the populace. What his Offices are--whether he is
mediator, intercessor counsellor, or directorate
discoveries so far do not disclose. From Mr.. Con-
sui General Harriss statements, the Japanese are
not only extremely kind, hospitable, and obigirg,
but manifest high degree of national courtesy--a
great deal more, we should say, than friends Of
provided an escort for Mr.. Harris from Smoda to
Yeddo and lodged him the way by comfortably
provided houses all prepared for the occasion. We
are not disposed to discuss the proprety of this kind
of cvity; but it strikes that if it is feature of
barbarism the Christian States Of the world have
left something behind them which might well const
tute part of their habits Of life. II will be sub
iect of curious and interesting inquiry to ascertain
the habits functions, and peculiar Offices of the two
Japanese Emperors. The political chief is impris
oned in his palace, being allowed egress only
in two years while the spiritual head of the State is
confined for fe and never to be seen except as we
may suppose, by certain angelic subjects who CON
stitute the link betwe en- the material and the cees
tial people The curious reader will discover in
these relations very much of the theory generally
adopted by Christian sects in reference to the attr
butes and government of the Supreme Being.

ART AND ARTISTS IN THE METROPOLIS.

We publish this morning a full report of the
speeches delivered at recent meeting of the Wash
ipgton Art Association. We have been led to de-
vote SO large portion of space to the subject,
because in addition to the intrinsic value Of the ad
dresses their delivery, and the enthusiasm they kin
died furnish the best evidence that at last healthy
sentiment exists in art circles We long regarded
with dissatisfaction the dissensions which not only
were very injurious to the best interests of our
Metropolitan artists but, in 80 far as they cramped
the movement of the art power here We're also re-
tarding the national growth. In the natural course
of events, sooner later, the art interests of the
country must centre in Washington; hearty CO.
operation Of all who love art may hasten that day.
1t should be remembered by these gentlemen that
they are not yet strong enough to Indulge in
the luxury of quarrels. Byand-by we hay have
schools of artists rival factions and litth warares,
to the advantage Of all parties by the stimulus thus
given to art by these rivaries At present cannot
afford to restrict the work of cultivating metro
politan taste even to artist Association J" it is
wiser and more practicable to blend all sorts of cul-
tivated, refined, and carpest men into one potent
"Art Association where all lovingly laboring for
the Beautiful, bearing and forbearing they may see
the good work growing under their husbandry into
wide-spreading tree with leaves and blossoms for
the coming generation. We congratulate the artists
and their fellow-laborers the bright prospect
which is now before them. They have marked out
plan for an exhibition sorees and lectures in their
very attractive hall during the winter, and anti
cpate that these with the many accessions they
receiving to their membership, will enable them to
present bold front and equip them with full treas
ury. The next meeting will be held in the new ball
over sibley & Guys store, Pennsylvania avenue
on Tuesday evening ~

REc1rRocIIY TREATY.

We adverted in our issue of the 7th instant TO
the proceedings Of the New York Chamber Of com-
merce in reference to the construction given to the
Canadian reciprocity treaty by the Treasury Do
partment in subjecting to duty -four manufac-
tured in the British provinces of wheat grown an
the United States, the article not being, in the
terms of the treaty, of the produce and growth
Of Canada fAt#
These proceedings, as well as the newspaper com
mens on the subject justified the inference that our
provincial neighbors not only felt aggrieved by the
weight Of the burden thus imposed, but that they
thought the Treasury construction was arbitrary,
hostility against the policy established by that
treaty.
1t will be seen, however, by the following extract
from leading Canadian paper, published at Toron-
to, c. W,,-"The Leader" that that paper, at least
appreciates the soundness Of the Treasury construc-
ton of the treaty in regard to -four manufactured in
Canada of American wheat, and denies that there is
any Just ground of dissatisfaction with it on the
part Of the Canadians.
After referring to the regulations in respect to the
reciprocity treaty the Leader" in its issue of the
18th inst, thus proceeds
Without pretending to know the shape in which the
complaints of put Ia THAI OF Wash
ngton have hesitation In expressing tho opinion
that some of the complaints which have been made in
Canada, this subject, not reasonable For in
stance il is not reasonable to expect that the United
States should permit this country under cover OF the re-
ciprocy treaty to monopolize large portion of their
milling business Since manufactures not and can
be included in the reciprocity treaty, we have no
right to expect that it will give us the manufacture OF
American wheat We cannot complain in honesty or fair
ness that not allowed to import American wheat
grind it -four and send back the produce of Cana
dian growth To contend for this right to abandon the
entire basis of the reciprocity treaty and to raise point
which, if insisted on by the United States, would have
rendered anything in the shape of reciprocity OF trade
between the two countries impossible 1t IL the old ques
ton of including manufactures again The whole
scheme of reciprocity that it confined to raw pro
ducts On no other basis could it ever have been con-
cluded; and we have right to claim more than we
bargained for This has been done, however, by few
mers and other persons interested But this is not the
way TO get our rights. To do that we must ask only
what we can Justly claim. Any surplusagc in the de-
mands would only furnish argument against their
entire reasonableness =

OPINIONS or THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The Attorney General has approved the title of the
Masonic Temple at Boston, purchased by the United
States for courthouse site. He has also given an opn
ion to the Secretary of the Interior the construction
of the pension act of July 1885, and to supplements
including the act of February g. 1853. The question
raised the pension of Sarah Hunt whether allow
should begin at the date of the act at the date
the completion of the proof in the He holds that
the pension begins at the date of the act unless the sol
dicr died after that time then it should commence at
the time of Death
The Attorney General also decided that ministers resi-
dent, &c. not entitled to any constructive allowance
by way of Unfit, but that they only be paid for time
actually and necessarily occupied in travelling from the
post of duty to place of residence minister on leave
and at home at the time of recall is not paid for time
occupied in returning.

THE RETURN OF GEN. pAEz TO vENEzUELA.

THE RETURN or GEN PAEz TO VENEZUELA.
The watehful and erudite economist Of the New
York Times is greatly horrifed at the proposition
Of the President 70 tender to Gen Paez and suite a
passage in government ship to Venezuela. The
Times does not venture to estimate the positive loss
10 the Treasury from this act of international courte-
sy, but leads its intelligent readers to infer that it
win be very considerable, if not more"
The facts fthe case are that the Secretary Of the
Navy chartered certain steamers to join Brazil
squadron with view of acting against the govern
ment of Paraguay, The Times should be informed
that Paraguay is of the States of South America,
situated on the eastery side Of the continent and
that Venezuela is right ON the way, and has very
convenient seaport at about twelve days steamiDg
from New York. Now il is proposed by the gov
efnment that one of the chartered steamers shall
carry the eminent aud patriotic exile, Gen. Paez and
his family, to their homes in Venezuela. 1t strikes
us as an act of courtesy more justly due from the
United States than 10 the noble old chefain who has
long been our guest. We have not measured the
cost of this little act Of cvily, have counted
the political benefits to result from it. The heart
had much more to do with it than the head and in
this spirit must charitably infer that the article
of the Times indicted at the hungry hour of four
in the afternoon, when the poor writer's good nature
was quite exhausted. But it is possible that our
contemporary ignorant, and not really malicious,
after all Imay be, too that it entertans hostility
to the Paraguay expedition, because its business is
in the South, but surely it ought to know that the
steamer which is to take out Gen. Paez will proceed
Immediately on its way to the Brazil station.

THE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION RIVER oBsTRUC
TJONS ~


1t is stated in the newspapers that the government
of Paraguay are making elaborate preparations to
resist the ascent of the naval forces of the United
States upon the river to the capital of that country
There seems to be sufficient evidence adduced to
give authenticity to this report; but it is ncverthe
less possible that President Lopez has adopted some
such system of defence. DISTINCTIONS thrown into
such water course, to be effecual must involve
the government not only in serious expenditures,
but operate hereafter greatly to the annoyance of
the people themselves. But it is extremely doubt
full whether any impediments thrown into the river
will be able to obstruct the running of vessels
of light draft. They may or less de-
lay by exacting greater caution in the pilots, and
perhaps material will have to be removed in some
instances but we have belief in any very serious
difficulties to grow out of this species of defence.
The very able Secretary Of the Navy has provided
feet of of light draft precisely the force
required meet the contingency adverted to by the
English journals, and the country may well confde
in the sagacity, forethought. and thorough under
standing of the whole case by Gov. Toucey.
We apprehend that, after all, the reports, which
come by the way of England, have little any prac
teal foundation, and that the greatest difficulties
which the expedition will have to encounter viii be
found in preparing to do what is required of it by
the department.. 1t is the part Of wisdom that such
preparations should be complete limited
means will admit Of; and the country has the very
best guarantee in the experience, sound judgment,
and energy of Governor Toucey that nothing will be
wanting on his part to render it completely success
full We are likely to encounter more or less obsta
clcs in the prosecution of such enterprise and it
would be strange, indeed, if naval expedition,
looking to possible hostile encounter with the
forces and forts of foreign power should come off
without damage in some way and 1T must be re-
membered that We propose to visit nation whose
population are twelve hundred miles from the
with forts and military establishments, all of which
may be brought TO bear against us. IT, then, we
find the river Paraguay INSTRUCTED, it will be our
service to get rid of such obstacles best wo
If the work shall be serious, it viii take little
of our time and labor if tring, that will be our
good luck The Paraguay expedition, however, in
any event will be likely to visit the capital of Presi-
dent Lopez, and we trust and believe, only to pro-
cure from him all the satisfaction our commissioner
may demand.

composing these clubs Instead of coming into tho field
boldly and deploying their forces the game opened
in close and cautious and although, after

brilancy, yet lost on both Sides aud the

impossible to form those intricate combinations which
