RAITIMORR.

The adjourned Democratic National Convention
will become as great bore as the original sitting
at Charleston, if it goes on as it has begun. The
talk of proceeding with the ballots so soon as il
should be called to order, has proved the emptest
babble: the Convention does any and everything
but that. Contested seats-the legitimate effects
of botingthe natural right of boilers to return at
pleasure to the seats they have kicked over--the
right of their constituents to put others in their
places-squints at Platform revision-efforts TO
bedaub and befog everything which excites interest
in one of those muddles termed Compromises--such
are the themes which have engrossed the apparent
attention of the delegates since their reassembling.
The real business transacting behind the scenes
has been the squelching of Douglas, which is
understood to be as good as bargained for. The
South is in due time to concentrate on candidate
agreed on-probably Horatio Seymour of our State
and then New-York, nothing 10th, is to desert
Douglas for her own fayOrite son Such is the
programme, as it stood up to last evening: what a
night may meantime have brought forth, the day
must reveal. 1t is nearly certain, however, that
Douglas is sold out.

THE sLAyK.TRADK I'm NETWORK

On Friday morning last, the Superintendent Of
Police was informed that the schooner Mariguita,
lying at Pier No. 9, Z. R., was manifesty fitting
Outfo shaving expedition to the Coast of Africa
and that two separate notifications of the fact had
been sent to the office of U. S. Marshal Rynders,
apparently without eliciting any action on his part.
The vessel was obviously on the point of setting
sail as box going on board her the evening before
had broken open, disclosing goody array of
shackles; and it is well known that a SLAYER does
not put her shackles on board till about to sail
1t being manifestly useless to trouble the Mar
shal's Office further with this case, Mr.. Kennedy
sent his private clerk to the Office of Judge Roose
welt, U. s. District-Attorney, to notify him of the
facts. Judge r. was on the point of going into
Court but designated one of his assistants to look
after the suspected SLAYER. That assistant seemed
far more anxious to learn whence Mr.. Kennedy OBJ.
tanned his information than to look after the SLAYER;
but he finally informed Mr.. K. that they had been
watching that vessel for day or two! He per-
sisted in saying that she would not sail very soon
though Mr.. X. urged that no SLAYER ever takes her
shackles on board till on the point of sailing. The
Superintendent having no jurisdiction in the prem.
ises, was obliged to leave the matter thus. Next
day, just as the japanese were landing 10 our City,
the Mariquita slipped of, and is probably well
away toward the Slave Coast by this time. How
much money her safe exit from our harbor cost
her owners, we, not knowing, cannot say. "a
Another strongly suspected SLAYER slipped
away from the foot of Ninth street, East River, on
Saturday night or Sunday morning. New.York is
fast acquiring a monopoly Of this lucrative but
rather hazardous traffic. We mean that it eas
hazardous; but our delegate to Charleston, who
there declared himself with Mr.. Goulden in his
willingness to reopen the Slave-Trade, has
changed all this. 1t is somewhat expensive to
clear SLAYER from this port but 1t has ceased to
be extra hazardous. We shall be disappointed II
there is not change in this respect soon after the
4th Of March next, If not before.

A big job was preached in the Councilmen las
evening The Common Council are anxious t6
make good thing out of the repaving of Broad.
way, but fear that in the hands of Mr.. Street.
Commissioner Smith they would not have the
chance. So they have inquired of the Corporation
Council if they have the right to take the contract
taking power out of the Street Commissioners
hands, for the purpose of putting this Broadway
job through on just such terms and conditions as
they please. Clearly they have no such authority
1t is the Commissioners duty to advertise for and
award all contracts for work in his department,
and the Common Council can only approve or re-
ject the contracts entered into by him. This
scheme, the raising of the salaries of two subordi-
nate clerks in the City Inspectors Office from $500
to $1,025 year, and the reference of the Geo.
Law Battery plumber project to Committee, com
prised the work of the evening. .D

MIR, HYATT,s CASE.

Mr.. Thaddeus Hyatt has been released from i'm
prisonment at Washington, and has returned, we
presume to his home and his business. We wish
we could realize that his long and close confne-
ment has been as beneficial to the public as it must
have been rksome to himself There was opportu-
nifty and necessity for good blow in the direction
he contemplated; yet we cannot see that Mr..
Hyatt has struck that blow. The most that can
be said is that he has helped to draw public atten-
ton to grave danger to personal liberty and indi-
vidual rights. If il be indeed lawful for either
House of Congress to send mere servant of one
of its servants into any State or Territory and drag
thence any number of citizens not accused nor even
suspected of any crime, haul them to Washington,
ask them whatever questions an irresponsible Com
mttee may see fit TO put, and imprisOn them in
definitely in case their answers are not deemed
satisfactory then it is clear that we hold our right
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" by
very frail tenure. Our Constitutional rights,
modified by an unlimited power to issue lettres de
eaohet by fraction of Congress, become highly
nebulou9 and uncertain. This power must be
limited, defined, circumscribed, OF no mans liberty
is safe from its abuse. We thought Mr.. Schell
made well-considered and timely stand against
such abuse, and we backed him. though political
adversary, againts our political friends; we
thought Mr.. Hyatts resistance, though equally
well intended, not well adyied, and We did not
sustain it, though he was Republican and his
questioners were Democrats. We will hope, how
ever, that his course has not been in van and that
Congress will now be constrained to define by law
answer.

AMERICAN INTERCOURSE WITH
IADAN.

The first American attempt at opening a CON-
munication with Japan was made in 1887 by mer-
camille house established in Macao near Canton.
There were at that time in Macao seven Japanese,
three of whom were the survivors of the crew of a
japanese Junk which had been driven by storms
across the Pacific. They had landed on Queen
CharlOtte's Island where they fell into the hands
of the native Indians; but had been redeemed by
an agent of the English Fur Company and sent to
England, whence they were carried to Macao and
placed in the family of Mr.. Gutzlaff the missionary
The other four belonged to another japanese
junk which had been wrecked on the Philippines,
whence they too were sent to Macao.
The return of these men to their homes seemed
to offer good opportunity for attempting com
muncation with Japan, as well for mercantile as
for Missionary purposes. The American house
above referred to fitted out the brig Morrison for
that purpose, and there sailed in her, beside the
Japanese and one Of the partners of the firm, Dr.
Parker, an American Missionary, physician, who
has since acted as our Minister in China and Mr.. G.
w. Williams, then editor Of the Chinese Repository
and who afterward acted as Chinese interpreter to
Commodore Perry's expedition. On the 9th of
July, 1887, the Morrison made the lower bay of
Yeddo, and anchored near the shore. She was
visited by number of boats, but the crews did not
seem to understand the request handed to them,
written in Chinese characters, for provisions,
water, and Government officer to communicate
with. During the night, cannon were planted on
the hills nearest the brig, and though the firing was
unskillful the Morrison was obliged to weigh She
was pursued by three gun-boats each with thirty or
forty men, which bore down upon her, firing
swives; but when she lay to to wait for them, they
retired.
The Morrison then ran along the south shore Of
Niphon, till, having reached the southwestern e1.
remity of the Island of Kiu-siu another attempt
was made to communicate with the natives. For
this purpose, she anchored near small village, and
at first was Hospitality received. But before long
soldiers made their appearance, and fire of mus.
kerry and artillery was commenced. With diff
Guilty. the vessel got clear of the shoals, and aban-
doning all hopes Of friendly intercourse or of re-
turning tho shpwrecked Japanese made sail for
Macao.

answer.

The favorable condition of the wheat crop
throughout the country, and especially iu the long
ravaged wheat districts of Western New-York, is
most acceptable. The result Of this season s
growth will undoubtedly settle the question as to
whether the nudge is rapidly becoming extinct, as
the Hessian fly has in great part already, or
whether We are indebted to last years Juue frost
for the tolerable harvest which was reaped If
only the latter is true, exemption from extreme
ravages by this pest will be but temporary and it
will resume its everlasting work whenever new
myriads are Matched in other places
to pour in upon their old fields of
operation. In one of his New-Hayen
lectures, Doctor Asa Fitch stated that the nudge
came to this country BY way Of Canada in 1880,
having been imported in some unthresbed wheat
brought thither from England. In England it's
unreasonable multiplication is checked by para
site insect, a small kind of ichneumon fly, which
preys upon and destroys it; and we should have
saved over sl5,OOOOOO per year if this ichneumon
fly had been imported. Should it be proved this
Fall that the nudge is not decreasing it is a
matter of national importance that Doctor Fitch
or some other good entomologist should procure
the ichneumon from Europe and hatch it on
large scale.
Since last week there has been no material
change in the crop prospects of the country except
that timely showers of rain have fallen on some
districts, especially in Maine. where they were most
needed, and the crops are showing the effects in q
gratifying manner. From Illinois, We learn fur.

Congress is disposiDg of its time much faster than
of its work. We judge from the drift of yester-
days proceedings that Baltimore absorbs a good
share of attention and that the Senate will not be
ready to adjourn at the time agreed upon-Monday
next.
The Mail Steamer gentry contrive to have their
own way, at whatever cost. With nearly every
body professedly in favor of Daily Overland Mail
to California by the shortest and quickest route, it
is clear that we are to have none this season, and
that the COmmodores have MS by the throat for
another year.
