The War Clamor I'm England-ShnN We
Fight for Sam Juan with Cotton or front
Our English cousins seem gust now to be full
flight. and the San Juan difficulty on one side,
and the'oattle of Taku on the other, are SUBJ
jects of comment in very nearly similar terms
by the British journals The United States and
the empire of China are both to be brought to
strict account by these penwranglers
According to the London Post, Lord Palmers-
tons mouthpiece, England must assail the
whole empire of China and storm the capital;
and if the Cabinet at Washington does not at
once disavow the acts of General Harvey, the
British government will take immediate and
efectual means to vindicate its right to the ter
ritory in question. This is all very we'll for the
London Post, but it is quite another question
for England. She caught Tartar at the mouth
of the Peiho, and if she chooses she can try her
hand at catching another in Puget Sound. Pur-
suing her usual policy, she insists that the
Chinese Tartar was no Tartar at all,
but Russian; just as, in the last war with us,
she was always insisting that it was not Yam
kee but English sailors that enabled the Anne
rican ships SO constantly to capture the British
ones.
Now the Chinese can fight their own battles.
as Admiral Hopes report very clearly shows.
whether they do it with eight inch guns or
Mandarin diplomacy. But we hope the Cabi-
net at Washington will do no such thing as
disavowing the act of the gallant Harvey. If
England wants war with US, she can have it to
her hearts content. We will give her cotton
war or saltpetre and iron one just as she
| may choose. If she does not want to 60 in for
| the hard hits from the young giant of the'West,
| we will refrain from hurting her feelings in
that way, and wage the battle after different
manner. To oblige her, we not only will keep
our war ships at home, but our cotton ones
too. We will make more machinery, and work
| up the two millions of bales OF cotton that we
| now send her yearly into yarns and cloths for
the rest Of the world. We can do it
with ease. In six months we can
quadruple the number of looms we
now work, and consume our own and Eng
lands present share Of the cotton crop
Such step as this would set every forge and
anvil stoutly at work, would give an immense
| impulse to our iron and coal mining interest
| would double the money value Of every water
privilege, and would stir every industry among
US with the strong fever of high prices and
short supply.
| But we do not believe that England wants
| either cotton or an iron war with us, or to
try her hand at catching Tartars in Puget.

is clear enough, for it is his old game, and one

into trouble on one side, he Immediately COM

Italian question is his trouble now, as it is that
of every crowned head in Europe. A satisfied
nationality coolly voting to depose dynasty
hoary with centuries Of misrule, like the Bour-
bon, is terrible example for Europe. The
people gaze in admiration, and may initiate.
Their attention must be drawn of. Kings do

the merits of the Napoleonic Code, or Of popu-

meddling and always looking to sustain the
dynastic claims, is endeavoriHg to draw the
attention of Europe from Italy to the United

| BANKRUPTCY OF TAMMAsY HALI.-The sa-
chems and other potentates of Tammany and
Mozart Halls, wander around the purlieus of
those places, with sorrow and tribulation de-
picted upon their faces. Starvation stares the
great army OF rowdies in the face. They not
