Our advices from Jamaica show that the new
Governor is vigorously carrying out the policy
which, on assuming the Government he de-
cared should guide him in administering the
affairs of the colony. He insists upon justice
to the blacks, and has latterly given directions
for the prosecution of collectors of dues for
alleged extortion of illegal fees from the people
Under the old state of things, it appears that
the complaints of the negroes against officers
of the Government were treated with silent
contempt in high places Not so now, inquiry
being promptly instituted in every case in which
Government official is charged with taking
advantage of his position as such to wrong
and Cypress the people. In these circumstances
it is by no means surprising to be informed
that the Planter party is up in arms against
the Governor, and that every effort is being
made to embarrass the Executive and bring the
Government into contempt. The Shpendiary
Magistrates recently appointed from England
are coming in for their full share of misrepre-
sentation and abuse, but the effort to destroy
their influence is likely to prove abortive, steps
having been already taken for the prosecution
of certain parties who have been induiging IN
false and slanderOus statements respecting one
of these gentlemen.

The Mexican Government begins its era of
peace with unquestionable resolution. A vol
ley of muskets makes short work of its enc
mics. Santa Anna was shot before he had
scarcely time to issue proclamation, and upon
the ground, probably correct, that he intended
whether his death was necessary to the safety
of the Republic. He was an old man-nearly
20 years-had long ceased to be feared by
any party, and it is still very doubtful whether
his departure for Mexico was not altogether
the result of foul conspiracy against the old
mans property. The Republicans have begun
without showing mercy. 1t remains to be seen
whether this severity is the evidence of strength
or weakness.

Mr. Anthony offered resolution in the
Senate yesterday, which had previously been
adopted in caucus that the business of the
session should be limited to the removal of the
distinctions to the execution of the Recon
struction acts stubborn opposition to this
was led by Mr.. Sumner, who took the ground
that the Senate could not perform its duty
under such a limitation. He was sustained by
Mr.. Ross, Mr.. Upton, and others, who desired
legislation on the Indian difficulties. The de-
bate was finally converted into. a dispute upon
the binding nature of caucus, and the ques-
ton settled by the adoption of the resolution
by a vote of % to o. AS Mr.. Conkling sug-
gested, the majority that passed the resolution
has the power to rescind it, should the public
interests demand such action

fresh uses. AS people, we are terribly deil-
cient in knowledge, both of the principles and
of the methods of social science Having no
speculative class to speak of, being absorbed In
business all the time, our intellectual training
and accomplishment bearing no proportion to
our rapidity and adrOitness in affairs with
everything to do, and with limited experience
to guide us in doing it compelled to do hastily
what should be done with the greatest deliber-
alton driven to swift expedents where knowl-
edge is the only safe conductor; theoretical
because we have had no time to be expert
mental intensely deductive because induction
is so slow, we are in danger of falling into the
gravest mistakes. simply from not knowing
what has been done, or from cOnjecturing too
rashly what can be. And while our problems
are our own, from the strangeness of our cir
cumstances, the solutions of them are mostly
foreign. The literature of Social Science Is
French and English, not American, and, how
ever competent the French and English writers
may be- the facts on which they reason, the
political civil and social relations by which their
reasonings are conditioned, the human factors
with which they deal, and the limits appointed
for their hopes of progress, are so entirely diff
conclusions can be but partially accepted, ard
their rules but doubtfully followed. There is
not question with which the American AssO-
citation proposes to deal that is not more or
less among us a new question. Education u.s.
in spite Of English commissions and Prussian
experiments. The public health is, for with us
the people having, fortunately, no parental"
government, must look out for themselves, and
do things in their own way. 1t will fare i'll
with us we copy European economies"
whether plblic or private, or follow the com
mercial AID financial and civil precedents OF
the older civilizations. This Social Science AS
ISOLATION las, therefore, an important work to
do. Let it teach the people how to live
healthfull,, comfortably, and decently; how
to educae their boys and girls; how to
organize heir industries, and combine their
interests N friendly services how to distribute
their populations how to employ their ldlers
utilize tlrir paupers and criminals, equalize
their laws adapt their institutions to the people,
extend without dissipating their political rights
and PRINCIPLES, and it will render inestimable
service in generation which needs reflection,
and knowledge to balance an inordinate enter
prise. We are particularly glad to see the
respect it pays to women. We recognize the
names of several who have already rendered
admirable service to the community by their
deeds and heir writings. They will not. neg
lect the interests of their own sex, and those
are interests that in this country are too serious
and pressing to be neglected by a society that
has at heart the interests of our civilization.

MAYORS OFFICE.


L. r. Richards, Esq, City Register,
will observe the opinion as herein ex-
pressed of the City Attorney, in regard
to issuing liscense to tipping houses,
and in all cases comply with the require
msnts of the ordinances of the city.
HENRY j. LYNN,
Mayor pro TEN.
These documents were read to the
Board and referred to committee Of
three, consisting of Aldermen Smith,
Powers and Lemon.
Thus the matter stands at present.
There is little question as to the action
of the committee. 1t will undoubtedly
recommend resistance to this latest effort
to emasculate the city charter and place
almost the total revenue of the city in
the hasds of the Metropolitan Police
Commissioners The law under which
the Commissioner acts was procured
through partisan representations. The
bare assertion that it was another blow
at the Memphis secesh" sulficed to
induce the virtuous Legislature to
promptly pass it. A bill to place every
department of the city government into
the hands of the Police Commissioners
would have succeeded as easily. Had
Conservative Legislature been chosen at
the late election, probably Colonel Beau
mouts liquof.license order would not
have been issued. But that body is over
whelmingly Radical, which is taken as
an earnest that no measure looking to
grinding the " Memphis seeesh " will fail.
This is the secret Of the sudden springing
of the license question.
If the city charter has any power at
all, it is that of controlling city licenses
and we hope no effort will be omitted to
secure a thorough test of the question.
The fact that the Legislature is simply a
Radical executive machine, controlled
By politicians, aud the fact that the Su-
preme Cowrt Of the State was filed in
the same interest, should not cause any
hesitancy. It is only by persistent resis-
lance that illegal laws can be overthrow.
This is not merely a question Of dollars
and cents to certain class. 1t is one Of
life and death to the city charter. The
question. is Shall the Metropolitan Pc
lice Commissioners or the municipal
authorities, acting under the charter,
control Memphis2
Theisaloon keepers have moved in the
matter in selfdefense. A meeting was
held yesterday afternoon, at which Mr..
d. Haulsy presided. Il was resolved to
