be brought under proper regulations. Why
not try the same plan with the Africans' The
words Of Lord John Russeii's PROPOSE
ti0n-the second branch of his ELAN
for putting an end to slavery-is emigration
from China. regulated by the agents of Euro
pean nations in conjunction with the Chinese
authorities" The British government may dis
guise this as they will. but it Is nothing else
than proposition to increase, legalize and sys-
temalize the white slavery which has grown up
to supply the place of negro slavery in the
British West India Islands. II is copy of
Louis Napoleon's recent plan to regulate Afri-
can emigration to the French West Indies. It
is folly to talk of sham contracts. What
chance will poor Chinese apprentice have Of
fair play in the British West India Islands? What
is in name? Call slavery by the name Of ap-
premiership, and it is just the same. The truth
is that the wants of civilization increase the ne
cessity Of slave labor. While the English viii
have sugar and cotton and rice, there must be
slave labor to produce these articles and this Is
the reason why Buxton's motion In Parliament,
TO compel Spain to refund the e400, 900 paid her
for abolishing the slave trade, and to suspend
diplomatic relations with her till the treaties
are carried out, has just been Withdrawn. Bril-
fish hypocrisy, as the London Times intimates'
would be rendered too glaring in the face OF
the world. w.

PROFITS AND Evils OF THE CRY RAIL-
RoAps.-Few people, perhaps, who travel or
our city railroads and are compelled to expe-
rience the miserable want of accommodation
so characteristic of them, have any idea of the
immense profits which they accumulate every
year. With the smallest possible amount OF
comfort administered to the passengers, the In
corporators of these roads reap golden hAr-
vest from the half suffocated, crushed and
badly used people who employ them as
means Of travel through the streets and ave-
nues Of the city.
The official return Of the traffic, outlay, earn
ings and profits of the five principal roads for
the year 1859 shows the following figures

AFFAIRS IN MExIco.-The monthly arrival Of
the British steamer from Vera Cruz at Havana
brings us regularly the news that Miramon Z
pent up in some tight place from which he can.
not possibly escape, and that the civil war In
Mexico is about to be brought to an end by his
immediate humiliation. By the last accounts
he is reported to be somewhere between Lagos
and Leon, surrounded by overpowering const-
tutional forces, while other bands of liberals
were gathering in immense numbers round the
city Of Mexico. Taking the wheat without the
chat in the late news, 1t amounts to this, that
Miramor, having saved the important city of
Guadalajara from Uraga and Ogazon, ia now
on bis way back to the capital to drive from
there the forces that have gathered around Il.
This has been the precise character of the
struggle in Mexico for the last two years. Mira
mon is the live lion of the field, and whenever
be has come to blows with his antagonists he
has always triumphed, and whenever he
has turned his back on any place he
has lost or imperilled his csnquests.
His cause is the unpopular one; but he
has the remains of the veteran army In

rest of the leaders of both parties together. He
cannot triumph, for the people are not with
him nor can Juarez conquer him, for he IL nei-
Their soldier nor an energetic statesman. What
Mexico now wants is leader equally at home
in the saddle and the cabinet, and as ready with
the sword as with the pen. The Mexicans are
beginning to look again to Comonfort, who Is
still reposing in this city; and If his cause IL
well managed he may soon become again their
President. He has good defence for all the
past accusations against him, antecedents that
might compel respect, and ability such as none
now in power in Mexico possess. His friends
commit the error of letting these Lie fallow, and
the republic is meanwhile becoming moro
and more disintegrated. As for Miramon being
near the end of his career, we should not be
surprised if Juarez were equally near his, and
some third name about to come into view in the
kaleidoscope of Mexican affairs.

violence Tn return it is askcd-for even those
octs which never should have been required, are
TO be paid for-that all Northern laws be re-
pealed which render it difficult to take alleged
fupityes. These, of course, are laws against
kidnapping, for there are no others, nor are any
others probable or hardly possible.
Such arc tic concessions, as yet the most mode
rate. which the South has put forward under the
name of Compromise. They demand that we
should give up all that Legitimate, constitutional
victory, the fruits of years of labor, inspired by
deep moral and conscientious conviction, ha'
gained; they ask what our ancestors, in days OF
darkness and peril, would never yield; and they
seek to gain what, if given now, would only be
snatcLed back again under the growing Anti
Slavery sentiment of the North, at no distant
day-sDatched back again when determination on
one side and resistance on the other would lead
to struggle to which this is as chlld's play. Ii
is fatal foolishness to make such concessions
now. We are half through this battle; let US
finish it lk men, and be done with the contro-
yersy forever.

Precipitation, which is the cant word OF the
day at the South, does not meet with universal
favor in Georgia. The Legislature will have
none of it, and has determined, in caucus,
upon deliberation, in contradistinction to her
sister State of South Carolina, which, in the
rigdiiy and enthusiasm of her virtue, feels that
she who delberates is lost" The Senate of
Georgia has voted for cooperation of all the
Southern States, and has declined to protect her
citizens from processes in the Federal Courts.
Nor has that body yet reached the point CT re-
sistance to coercion in another State, as Il prop
ositi0n to that effect did not command the vote
of Senator's There seems even to be disposl-
ton to make light of the whole subject, as it

Tonight the Board of COuncimen will proba-
bly, be called upon to take action upon the Jap
anese bills. Let them scrutinize the items care
fully, and we doubt not they will see ample
reason for insisting upon their further curtail-
ment. Why, for instance, should japanese and
Naval Commissioners be charged $40 day for
board alone, exclusive of wines, cigars rooms
and Washington which heavy bills are also rem
dcred-while other people whose bills are not
paid by the city, are not charged one third Of
that amount! Who believes that SIS, $685. or
anything like that sum, was actually expended in
getting up the ball supper! All concur in stating
that the affair was u disgraceful scramble and
that but few of those who attended the ball could
get any refreshments whatever. The bills for
the ball to the Prince of Wales, far more
elegant and costly entertainment, were only
S2S, 746 60, or ST., 500 less than is charged for
the supper and decorations of the japanese affair
In the matter Of carriages, it is incredible that
anything like the amount charged-S7, S54 30
was honestly expended. BY all means, now that
the items have been made public, let them be
thoroughly Oyerhaued.

In the United States Senate yesterday, Mr..
johnson of Tennessee resumed his speech upon
the question of secession denying, in the most
emphatic terms that the right of secession ex-
lists in any State. An attempt to do so by force
of arms he denounced as treason, and any i'll
fringement of Federal law ne declared it to be
the right and the duty of the Federal Govern
ment to meet in the most prompt and efectual
manner. His speech throughout, on this point
was characterized by the most determined good
sense and the most straightforward language
and is a very marked rebuke Of the imbecile po-
sitiOn which the Executive holds with an Obst-
macy and pertnacity which, if exercised toward
South Carolina, would ere this have nipped her
nasant rebellion in the bud. OF the consequences
of secession, in the formation of foreign ALI
ance on the part of the seceding State, and the
shutting up of the mouth of the Mississippi from
the West, Mr. johnson presented two practical
| difficulties which, sooner later must command
the most serious attention.

An interesting debate occurred yesterday in the
House of Representatives at Washington on the
Foreign Slavet trade, in which an unusual, not to
say suspicious, degree of virtue was shown by
some Of the members from the extreme South
Their zeal for the suppression of that traffic was
well seconded by members from other Slave
States, who held, sometimes England and some
times the North responsible for its continued ex-
stence. The proposition TO subject the captured
negroes to a system Of apprenticeship, purely for
the purpose, Of course, of ciyiiizing and Chris
tanizing them, met with some favor. 1t would
be cheap way of importing Africans. As the
proposition before the House was merely to make
an appropriation for obligations already contracted
the debate was altogether gratutOus. IfSouthcrn
gentlemen are really anxious for the suppression
of the trade, it is easy to accomplish that object
by law which shall compel the officers of the
Government in this city to prevent the fitting out
Of slavers at this port by Cuban dealers. It's the
defects of the law, and the cOnniyance Of its
utors with those foreign slave traders, that has
given of late such immense activity to the trade.
