the matter, however. He has, apparently,
made provision in the negotiation for many
jobs; and it may prove that he has given 1t .
greater weight In that sort Of commodity than
1t can carry. Tho jobs, whatever they are
express jobs, California jobs and all-are his
part Of the diplomacy. Undoubtedly they
constitute weak point n our case; and If this
attempt to settle the trouble shall fail, the
failure will be due entirely to the fact that the
Commissioners were embarrassed with this new

INPORTANT IMPROvENnNT OF OUR HARBOR AND
CoAsr.-We have made frequent reference or
late to the condition In which the coast is left
by the Lighthouse Board Of the Treasury De-
partment; but remonstranoe seems to be Of
little avail, and Commodore Shubrick takes no
steps to remedy the evils which are daily COM
planned Of by our seamen. Every day for .
month past the ship news column Of the HERALD
has contained notices Of the drifting or total
disappearance of buoys and lighthouse ships,
and accounts of numerous disasters in oonse-
quence. II is well that accidents Of minor
character only have resulted from this neglect
Of the Lighthouse Board. Let there be an
appalling disaster In consequence OF similar
neglect to some ono Of the large European pas
senger steamers to this port, like that OF the
Evening Star In consequence of her defective
machinery, and the Board will find itself
reused by the indignation Of the people from
the lethargy into which they have lapsed.
While the admirably lighted coast Of England
is being improved every season, (our columns
yesterday contained official notice Of the plao-
ing of not less than eighteen buoys and light
ships ON the English coasD, no effort is being
made to improve either our coast or harbors,
and our merchant marine is continually ex-
posed on q coast Of which they know nothing
positive. Commodore Shubriok and his board
should wake up to their duty or give place to
more active men.
We hope our representatives in Congress
will take an early opportunity to bring before
that body the subject of the improvement of
our coast and of New York harbor, by the
deepening of He'll Gate channel, thus giving
the English lines of steamers the advantage Of
the short route by Long Island Sound. When
the overcro wded state Of the lower part Of the
city forces business, as is being done every
year, higher up the island, similar move
ment to accommodate the shipping will be-
como necessary. With He'll Gate channel ron
dsred safe and available for the largest YES
sells docks will be built on the East river,
and business will tend in that direction, ~ II
has done on the west side, This would tend
to relieve the lower part q the olty and
rapidly improve property in that direction.
The advantages to be derived from tho deep
ening Of He'll Gate will be felt and should be
appreciated now by every merchant, shipper,
shipowner and property holder in tho city,
and the subject should be seriously thought Of
and actively advocated BY them.

LORD DERBYs AFTER-DNSER SPKEcH.--In
Lord Derby's post-prandial grafton at the
Lord Mayors banquet In London the other
day, he stated that the Atlantic cable had estab-
lished England ~ mistress Of the seas. He
did not definitely state, however, whether II
was Of the bottom Of the sea, where the cable
lies, she was mistress, or Of the surface, where
she used to 'rule the wsves"-in song Lord
Derby ought to know, after the events of the
late war, that this country Is bound to be the
mistress Of the seas In . very few years, II she
Ii not so already, with or without the Atlantic
cable; but II Is very we'll for the Premier 70

pletely under the power and at the mercy Of the
North. The will Of the Northern people, and
consequently Of Congress, as representing the
Northern people, Is the absolute law in the
case. The South has placed itself In its pres
emit excluded situation and must bear the con-
sequences. All appeals to former constitu-
iOnal rights are useless II even strict techni-
cal Interpretation Of the constitution might
seem to favor Thorn, because the war power
the power Of the conqueror over the CON-
Quered-i superior to everything else. We
may regret that restoration has not been
brought about or could not be reached under
other circumstances; but that Is not the ques-
ton now; We have to deal with facts; We have
to take things as they are and make the most
Of them.
Under oil tho circumstances We conclude,
therefore, that il Is best for Congress, - soon
a. 1t shall assemble, to legislate for the entire
and complete reconstruction Of the Southern
States. The President has tried his plan, from
tho best motives, doubtless, and it has failed.
The people have not accepted 1t. Now lot
Congress begin anew at the foundation. Let
an act granting universal amnesty and unlser-
sal suffrage be passed under tho war power.
Let the Southern States be Immediately recon-
structed on this basis. Let the whole
machinery Of government spring into action
upon II, and then let the members and Sena-
tors from every Southern State be forthwith
admitted to Congress. This would be prac-
teal. early and complete restoration. Our
political troubles would be at an end. As far
as the South is concerned that section would
have larger number Of members in Congress
than ever. It would control the negro vote
for years, and in time to come the white popu-
lation would grow so largely over the negro
that there would be no danger from negro
suffrage. The most dwelling radicals of the
North would be disarmed in their hostility,
and, the cause Of trouble being removed, We
should have peace. This is, we believe, the
most logical, safe and prompt method Of re-
s;oration under the circumstances. We hope
Congress will adopt 1t and let us have q
thoroughly restored Union before next March.
1t will save the South and give universal
prosperity to the whole country.
