our authority; in the fourth, the formal terms
of the exchange are defined; the fifth pro-
vides for the withdrawal of Russian troops; in
the sixth, the cession of territory and domi-
Mon is declared to be free and unincumbered
by any reservations and in the seventh the
date of ratification is fixed.
1t is at least a satisfaction to know that the
treaty binds our Government to no more than
the payment of a certain sum in gold. and the
admission of Russian settlers to citizenship,
and that any slight value the oession may
have is not lessened by reservations in favor
of British hunters and traders. To share the
questionable advantages of the territory would
be to yield them entirely, for there are some
things which are too small to be divided
But though this is theoretically a satisfaction,
practically it would have made no apprecia-
BILE difference to the people of this country if
all the traders in North America had been
given equal rights in the territory by the
treaty. In the deserts of Russian America the
hunters around the Geart Bear Lake will care
little for the 14lst degree of west latitude. We
simply obtain by treaty the nominal possession
of impossible deserts of snow vast tracts of
dwarf timber, frozen rivers, inaccessible
mountain ranges, with few islands where
the climate is more moderate, and a scanty
population is supported by fishing and trad
ing with the Indians. Virtually we get, by
an expenditure of seven millions in gold,
Sitka and the Prince of Wales Islands AL
the rest is waste territory, and no energy of
the American people will be sufficient to make
mining speculations in the sixtieth degree
north latitude profitable, or to reclaim wilder
nesses which border on the Arctic Ocean.
We may make treaty with Russia, but we
cannot make treaty with the North Wind,
or the Snow King. glance at the map will
show that this mighty acquisition, with the
exception of as few islands scattered
along a mountainous and sterile shore,
lies above the sixtieth degree and is divided
into nearly equal portions by the Arctic circle.
Ninety-nine hundredths of Russian America
are absolutely useless the remaining hun
dredth may be of some value to the Russians
who settled it, but is certainly not worth
seven millions of dollars to nation already
possessed of more territory than it can decently
govern, and burdened with debt. On the con.
trary, it is certain that the expense and trouble
of Territorial government-or six govern.
ments, as we hear Mr.. Seward proposes-in
this distant and inhospitable land, would fal
outweigh any advantage from its Goldfish OF

to us it would be an embarrassment, and 10y
the next session of Congress we trust the folly
of the purchase will be made so plain that the
House will refuse to make 1.-The necessary

The Next Great Step,

Editorial correspondence of the NJ Y Independent.
Down here in the Delaware Water Gap the
majestic cliffs are just now clad equally with
winter and with spring; not yet having put
off their snow, but already putting on their
green. In to-day's universal sunshine the
streams glitter, the sheep are silver-heeced,
and the school-children's faces are glorifed.
| am at this moment looking out of my car
window on a bevy of these youngsters at their
noon recess-the girls dressed in old and faded
calicoes patched and picturesque, the boys
bareheaded, and playing leap-frog. The cattle
those half-human beings-are standing idle in
the fields, gazing at the merry children, and
hungering for sweet clover. If were an artist,
/ would paint these almost cloudless clouds,
and send you dreamy picture instead OF
prosaic letter. The tardy larks ought to be
here to spread their wings for a flight into
such a sky; but those prudent birds have not
yet returned from the South-perhaps in
view of the backwardness of reconstruction.
Meanwhile, here is a positive flavor of nut
meg in the air-wafted, think, from Con-
necticut. have been smelling it ever since
the lst of April.
o backsliding Connecticut few minutes
ago the newsboys brought the Tribune into the
car, and my eye fell on a statement by GoV-
ernor ssHawley concerning the recent election
1T has been the curse of the RepuDhoah
party, " he says, 'that it has permitted certain
men in the State to act as its leaders who have
cared only for its offices, and not for its prin-
ciples; and the influence of these men has con-
tinually eaten away the pith and manlness OF
the party" Truer words were never spoken
| nor by truer man. And, although the
defeat OF gallant and noble gentleman like
Governor Hawley carries with it a necessary
touch of sorrow to the legion of his friends,
! yet, on the other hand, the dishonOr which
the Republican party of Connecticut brought
upon itself two years ago was altogether too
great to be overlooked by that Nemesis which
men call poetic justice and so the discontinue
of the 1st of April must be regarded by Just
men as one of the inevitable reyenges brought
round by the whiTlgig Of time

In most of the places carried by the Re-
publicans their majorities are less than those
obtained by them at the preceding election,
while the Democrats in several instances
increased their previous majorities. The
returns that have reached us fIom New
Jersey are quite meagre, though sufficient to
indicate that the Democrats have made sub
stantial gains.
Those who have not yet learned "the lesson
of Connecticut" should devote a little study
to the returns of the city election in Hartford
last Monday. In 1865, in total vote of 1855,
the radicals carried the city by 300 majority.
This year, in total vote of 473S-the largest
vote ever cast in a city election in Hartford
the Democrats gained a majority of 565, and
elected four out of six aldermen, and sixteen
of the twenty-four Councilmen. Leading radi-
Gals confidently expected that this election
would be a repudiation of the Democratic
State success of April l, but the Democrats
actually added one hundred to their majority
of the preceding Monday, suggesting the pro-
priety of quoting pet phrase of radicalism,
that revolutions never go backwards

gains as compared with those of last year.
Albany, which gave only 533 majority for
Hoffman, elected Democratic Mayor by over
1900 majority; and in Lockport, which gave
majority of l07 votes for Fenton last fall, the
Democrats elected their candidate for Mayor
by 270 majority and three aldermen and three

chosen.

The War Panic.

From The Herald.
Public securities here, as well as abroad,
have been unreasonably affected by the result
of the negotiations for the purchase by France
of the duchy and fortress of Luxembourg. 1t
turns out that Holland has no right to sell
either, and even if she had, Prussia occupies
the fortress with her troops, and as possession
is nine points of the law, the Dutch prudently
refuse to conclude the bargain. France cannot
well make a caSuS 6elH of this but if She
were disposed, she is not ready to do so. Her
new plan OF military reorganization will take
at least twelve months to complete, and Louis
Napoleon is not fool enough to enter upon a
campaign against Prussia, strengthened as she
now is, until he is prepared at every point.
second military failure, following close upon
that of Mexico, would destroy his prestige with
the French people and probably lose him his
throne. 1t is all very well for the purposes of
stock operators to start such an alarm, but a
great many things may occur before it has a
chance of realization, France is no more in a
condition than Prussia to commence contest
fraueht with such tremendous consequences
The revenues of both have need of nursing.
and it would be an act of supreme folly on
their part to provoke an expenditure which
would burden them with debt for half a CEN
tury to come. Still there is no reckoning on
what the ambition or fancied necessities of a
ruler like Napoleon may drive him to. There
is only one thing on which we can count il
his regard, and that is that he will not prOvOk,
a European war until he is prepared for it
and that will certainly not be within perioC
which should exercise any present lnhuenc
upon our stock market.

1t is understood that the Mississippi appli-

Supreme Court to-day. We suppose that
not even Judge Sharkey himself has any
sanguine hopes of the success of his applica-
tion; but if there were one chance in thou
sand, he would probably feel bound to make
the attempt. If the law cannot be defeated
by this method, it can be defeated by none;
for long before a repeal is possible, the law
