septcd that it would be impossible to ohta.a

demands not be complied with, the British
Minister threatens coerctve measures. u Is
believed the Japanese could Readily Pa9 the
sum demanded, but compliance with the Sec
ond condition Is believed to he impossible by
all Who are At all familiar with the Const1tu-
tion Of the Japanese GoTeEnmeut,as probably
any attempt to arrest the powerful prince

once to civil war bstween the parties who

power. The latter contingency Is fully ex-
pected, ard at last reports all foreigners wore
preparing to leave the open po1ta, and many
had already left -
We have not heard what course our Miuis-
ter, Mr.. Ptuyp, Ii pursuing, nor whether he
will endeavor to secure protection for his
countrymen In the event Of war, aud advlse
them to remain. Should they be able to do
this, think they will derive great advantage
from their position, As doubtless all other
foreigners would leave. Probably uuder most
circumstances American sympathy would be
with the English; but In view Of the very In
genious policy which Great Britain has adopt
I'd IN regard to the civil war in our own conn-
try, and the facilities she has afforded the
South for fitting out formidable priyatesrs. it
is hoped Mr. PfuJn will suggest to the Japan
csc that they can Issue letters Of marqua,
There are hundreds Of Americans On thu coast
who would jump ut such an opportunity, md

magnitude in these waters, a terrible blow

In reply to tho article in yesterdays
Chicago Post. in relation to the share Of
the Irish Catholics in tho recent riots in
New York, We have only to reaflrm what
we hare before said--that the mob was an
Irish Catholic mob, and nothing else. On
tlis point The direct testimony is conelu-
siye; it cannot be questioned And we
tcll the Post again that, while we do not
make this fact q ground Of accusation
against ali 1rishmen and ill Catholics, it
is important to proper understanding Of
the relations of parties and nationaities
in this great struggle against rebellion,
that The truth should be known. We have
stated it. II the Post is suited to say that,
in making the statement, We have held
the Church responsible Tor the disorder
and bloodshed that disgraced that city,
TINT is its business, not OUTS. We know

his trip to England On Sunday morning. 1t
will be gratifying to our readers to learn that
one Of the results Of his journey was the pur-
chase Of 4, 500 tons OF iron, 1,5M Of which is

now In transit and will reach New York In o
few days.
This Is a sufIlcic1 amount Of iron to lay
the track to Watab, aboye st. Cloud, and un-
less low water prevents, the road will be COM
pleted to that point this fall. Mr. Delano,
Track Superintendent, has gone on to New
York to hasten forward the iron, and see
that there is no delay in Its being transported
to Lacrosse. From there it Will be brought

bring it all to this point, notwithstanding the
