bind themselves to abide by the decision OF an
umpire designated by the United States While
Prussia and France could have no reason what
ever to dislike participation in the Conference,
the South American States would naturally feel
doubtful whether it was sofe to trust an UNI
miro who might not understand the subject
in all it's bearings, or have pre-cOnceived notions
favoring one of the beligerents.

lies. The Argentine Republic and Brazil have
declined taking part in the Conference, and
Perm and her allies will soon follow their ex-
annie We shall not stop to examine whether
the failure is to be more attributed to the ma
ture of the plan proposed, or to the obstinate
DISPOSITION shown by the several Govern
ments At all events this pacific settlement OF
warlike complications is, in every question and at
any time an undertaking so praisewOthy that
we cannot but hope that our Government, our
Congress- and our people will not cease to give
to the subject the most earnest attention. III

THE UNITED STATES as MEDIATOR


The House of Representatives gave true
expression to the unanimous feelings of the
people of the United States when, on the 18th
of December, 1866 it resolved to recommend to
the Executive Department of the Government
:" that the friendly Offices of this Government
{" if practicable, be offered for the promotion Of
"peace and harmony in South America" If
governments and peoples have, unfortunately,
not yet learned to avoid war altogether, it yet
is cheering sign of the steady progress Of
civilization that men everywhere come to regard
it as a sacred duty to look to peace conferences
rather than to the arbitIament of the sword for
the settlement of grave complications.
We readily admit that the result of the
Peace Conferences, which during the last ten
years have been held in Europe and America,
is not entirely satisfactory to those who deem
it both possible and desirable to abolish all wars
The Peace Conference held in Washington, be-
fore the outbreak of the Rebellion, was fail
ure so was the London Conference,
which attempted a peaceful solution Of
the Schleswig- HOlstein Question, and the
Conference which was to avert last
year the German Italian war did not take
place at all. But granting all this, we rejoice
at the fact that, ere any of the great wars
just referred to was begun, the idea of a Peace
Congress was conceived, and an earnest effort
made to prevent the atrocities and the bar
barities of war. 1t was, therefore, eminently
proper that the Representatives of the Ameri-
can people, in Congress assembled, should
recommend, and the Executive should accord
ingy undertake, the pacific termination of the
wars which for some time have been raging on
both the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts of
South America.
Of the manner in which the United States
Government has acquitted itself Of its i'm
pOrtant task we have now ample information.
1t appears that our Ministers at the several
South American capitals were instructed to
propose that conference be held in the City
of Washington, consisting of plenipOtentiaries
of the belligerent powers, to be presided
over by some person designated by the Presi
dent Of the United States; and that in case Of
the disagreement of the plenpotentiaries the
President designate some State or sovereign,
not the United States nor one of the belger-
ents, to be an umpire TO decide all questions
which shall be referred to him by the Con-
ference, and the decision of that umpire shall
be binding upon all the parties.
In comparing the terms of this mediation
with those of the recent London Conference it
is evident that the proposition made by our Gov
eminent demanded from the belligerent powers
greater concessions than at the recent London
Conference were demanded from either France
or Prussia. At the London Conference both
Prussia and France were left free to reject
any advice that would be rendered, and
to make their final appeal to the decision
OF arms. The South American States, on the

MIR. POuEROS LETTER.

The Mexican Minister has written letter in
which he gives certain reasons why Maxi
milan might Justly be shot by the Liberals
True, he does not explicitly declare that the ex-
Emperor should be killed, but the meaning of his
letter is that he might be. We do not agree
with Mr.. Romero, and out OF Mexico he will
find few people who will accept his argu-
ment as sufficient II Macmillan is allowed Ia
go back TO Europe with IMMUNITY, he
will be- says Mr. Romero, constant
menace TO the peace of Mexico. There
fore shoot him. Mexican malcontcnts
will correspond with him, and who knows but
that they may induce him to return. Therefore
shoot him. They will form a Mexican
Court at Miramar and there he will have
Mexican Government and style him
self Emperor of Mexico. Therefore shoot
him. Beside, if he is pardoned
nobody will give Mexico credit for magma
nimity; it will be said that mercy meant cow
ardiCe. Therefore shoot him. If this is not the
meaning of Mr.. Romero's letter, what
does il meant We may soften the logic
so far IA to allow the conclusion that
these terrible dangers lying in wait for the
Republic-Maximilian might be shot, but it is
only softened 50 far as Should" is different from
"must" But we deny both the right and the
necessity of the act.
Canddly, we must say that Mr.. Romero's
argument is childish; it sets up a number OF
imaginary hobgoblins and improbable situations
as living reasons why the ex-Empcror should
die. We do not think Mr. Romero is seriously
alarmed. He does not really suppose
Macmillan foolish enough to establish
mock Mexican Government in Italy
and if he did Mr.. Romero would be
heartily amused with It's supreme absurdity'
He does not fancy that the defeated usurper
will ever venture within sight of Vera Cruz
again, after nearly three years experience OF
Mexican hospitalities He really don't care
what people may say Of Mexican cowardice
in letting the wouldbe Monarch go, fol-
no one knows better than he that such mag
nanimty would receive the applause of all
civilized nations. We presume that he has
written in Tue fear that Macmillan has been
shot, and Loyalty desires to make out the
best possible case for the Government
he represents. But those who have
the best right to rejoice in the triumph
of the Liberals will rejoice to find their victory
crowned by mercy, and the now start in life,
upon which VIC join Mr.. Romero in congratu-
lating the Mexican Republic, should not be
accompanied by an act of deliberate bloodshed
absolutely opposed to the progressive spirit of
the age.
