IMPORTANT FROM JAPAN.

The Paris Pays publishes intelligence from Japan to
the 10th of july according to which the authorities
doing all in their power for the faithful execution of the
of the treaties An imperial decree authorized the
erection of commercial exchanges at Smoda, Nangasa
and Hakodadi, and appointed number of merchandise
brokers facilitate commercial intercourse with the
rious nations included in the treaties.
IL will be recollected that the Americans presented a
railroad and telegraph to the Emperor The latter has
been put up by Japanese engineer and is in successful
operation 1t is five leagues in length The Emperor is
so well pleased with the invention that he has ordered
Geographic communication to be established between
Jeddo and the provinces of Gokinaih Tokado Fekuro
Kudu, Sangodo and Saikaido. An American house es-
abshed at Simoda has offered to furnish the requisite
materials.
The most important act of the reignipg emperor Is the
revocation of the edct against the Christians issued by
tho Emperor Daa-Fusam in 1914 In future, foreign
agents accredited at Japanese ports will be privileged to
bring with them more Christian preachers for
their own and their oountrymens benefit.

A PROPER REBUKE.

We republish, in another column, from that excel
lent democratic journal, the Patriot and Union, of
Harrisburg, the central organ of tho Pennsylvania
democracy, an article containing some very appro-
pirate reflections upon the singular course pursued
by Judge Knox, the attorney general Of Pennsylya,
nia in the present in that State It appears
from the article that Governor Packer, whatever
may have been his abstract opinions on the Kansas
question last winter, disapproves and condemns the
conduct of his attorney general in his attempts to
disorganize the democratic party. The same course
which has been pursued by Judge Knox in Chester,
has been pursued, understand, by other officials
of the governor in other parts of the State who are
now conducting crusade against the reelection of
the Hon. j. Clancy Jones, the regularly -nominatcd
candidate of the democracy of Berks-a man who
has endearcd himself to the entire democracy Of the
Union.

PUNCTUATION. The points used in punctuation
introduced into writing gradually, time after
the invention of printing. The Greeks had none and
there was space between their words The Romans
put kind of division between their words, thus Pub
licus Scipo, Arcanus. Upon the end of the fifteenth
century only the period colon, and comma had been in
roduced. The latter into latest and only
perpendicular figure line proportionate the size of
the letter.
To Aldus Manutius an eminent printer in 1870, we
indebted for the semcoon and also for the present
form of the comma. He also laid down rules OBJ
served in regard to their The notes of Interrogation
and exclamation not added till years LATER and

first used by Monsieur Ailemount, French printer, and
intended by him to supersede the of adic let

THE pARAGUAYAN EXPEDITION.

We regret to find that the Inteliigencer dissents
from the general appreciation of the opposition
press to the objects and purposes of the govern
ment in sending out an armed expedition to sustain
our diplomacy in Paraguay. We do our cotempo-
rary the justice to say that it is not in the habit of
joining in the clamor INDUCED by many of these pa
pers against the National Executive for failing to re-
sort to extreme measures Of redress whenever an
American citizen has grievance against the officials
of foreign governments but had anticipated that
SO clear case had been made out against Paraguay,
that even our cautious neghbor would perceive and
admit the necessity and propriety of some positive
and effective action. It is with no little surprise
therefore, that notice, the fthe departure
Of the commissioner and Of the commander Of the
naval expedition, an apparent effort to defend Para
quay by limiting that her view Of the difficulty has
not been heard--that the action of the American
government has been taken without hearing the
counter statements Of President Lopez and we are
still more greatly surprised that this defence of Para
quay should be made to rest upon representation
of facts somewhat different from that derived from
official documents
II is alleged that one grievance to be redressed is
" the attack made the LIST of February, 1885, by the
guns of Fort Itapru upon the United States steamer
Water Witch while exploring the Parana river with
in the jurisdiction Of Paraguay This is an error
too frequently made, which examination Of official
documents would have recti6ed The Parana,
where the Water Witch when fred into, is the
common boundary between the Argentine confedera-
ton and Paraguay, and consequently the latter gov
ernmcnt has only concurrent jurisdicon with the for
mer. The inference naturally to be drawn from the
quotation above is that the Water Witch was the
time, within the undivided jurisdiction of Paraguay.
On the contrary, that vessel was on public high
way for vessels, and had right to it without
interruption from any quarter.
The Iegencer is still further in error in its refer
ence to the reasons assigned by Lopez for refusing
to exchange notifications of the treaty of March A
1853 1t states that Lopez refused to exchange rat
fications Sin the year 1856, on the ground of the
long delay practised tho part of government
in transmitting to him the intelligence of its ratca
ton by the Senate, and because of certain ransac-
tions which had subsequently given rise to pending
disputes between the two countries" President
Lopez refused in 1854 to exchange ratfcations the
ground according to the official note Of his Minister
of Foreign Relations that the communication from the
officer Of the United States commissioned to exchange
notifications, informing the government Of Paraguay
of that fact ,cas teitea IN English No other reason
