An Appeal to Congress.

The condition Of the Southern States be-
comes more alarming and more pitablc every
day. The blacks are not only destitute, but
desperate. Conspiraeies TO seize the lands and
murder the white people are but the natural
results OF forcing the ignorant negroes inlo a
false position. Thcs, poor creatures cannot
be expected to comprehend the dividing line
between equality and supremacy. They have
been taught that The negro in the South Is the
superior OF The white man, and we can hardly
blame them IL they seek 70 exercise the right

The Cunard MaiI Contract-A,aericanO Ocean
Postage.


The new contract between tho British gov
crnment and the Cunard Steamship Company
for the conveyance Of the Anglo American
mails involves a very heavy oxpenliture-say
eighty thousand pounds sterling for one year,
and this outlay forms subject of comment in
Parliament. TO reconcile the members of the
House of Commons to The agreement Mr. Hunt,
NJ. r., speaking officially, assured them that
the contract would DO selfsur porting, mas
much ~ the back postage from America, for
which The Cunard Company woul account 10
the Postmaster General of England, would
almost balance the subsidy"
In this point Of view the arrang smant pre-
scnts tho most extraordinary commercial
anomaly OF the citizens OF th, republic pay
ing, without any equivalent, as 1t appears to
us, in postage rates tho cost OF en English
mail contract. This arises from the course
pursued by Congress towards tho Collins
steamship and other American mill lines
which have been permitted to languish aud
expire for want of government patronage, as
well rs tho depreciation Of our commercial

Our correspondence from Buffalo which

in the "large Central depot on Exchange
street" al the funeral OF the unclaimed charred
bodies Of the victims Of the railroad disaster al
Angola. A Platform, one hundred leet In
length by twenty dccp, draped in mourning,
was erected on the south side Of the depot.
Nineteen boxes containing the chsrred re-
mains of the unfortunate strangers" were
placed on each side of desk occupied by the

Japan Opening Her Gnses 10 the World.
From cable despatch which we printed In
yesterdays HERALD we learn that on the 29th
Of January, 1868, the two ports Of IIiogo and
Osaka are to be thrown open 10 foreigners for
settlement and commerce. A treaty has just
been signed jointly by the government OF the
Tycoon and the government OF Queen Victoria
which virtually opens Japan to the trade Of
the world, and which, from our Increasing in
tcrcourse with that country, canno: fall to prove
OF immense advantage to the United States.
Considering, in fact, that japan occupies on the
western shores of the North Pacific very much
tho same position that the United States do on
the eastern shores, II Is impossible TO doubt
that the United States will at no distant day
come In for the lions share OF the prodIs.

Great Britain and tho United StRtes-Thc
Alabama Claims.

Tho recently published correspondence OF
of the Alabama claims makes 1t clear what Is
the relation which now subsists between the
two governments. Lord Stanley has stated
what Great Britain will do and what Great
Britain will not do Mr.. Seward has stated
what the United States will do and
what they will not do. Matters have
been brought to deadlock. Further
correspondence is as unnecessary as II is
undesirable. The diplomatists have attempted
to settle the question, but have failed. The
settlement OF the question must now DO at
tempted by others. Great Britain vainly
imagines that In the excitement OF . Presi-
Dental election the question will be forgotten,
and that with the accession to power OF diff
fercnt class Of politicians other and, as they
have 1t, "wiser" counsels will prevail Such
Is grand mistake. A new Congress and .
new President, whatever they may do, will
not alter the sentiments Of the Ameri-
can people on this question; and the American
people are thoroughly satisfied that In recog-
nizing the Southern confederation as bellige-
rent Power Great Britain not only violated
principle of international law, but made her.
self answerabls for the destruction Of our COM
mcrcial navy. There Is only one way Of
escape for Great Britain, and that Is to make
handsome apology and to pay down the
money. France is not without guilt In the
matter. But we have had ample satisfac ton
in that quarter. We have seen Napoleon, with
his tail between his legs, waddle away from
Mexico. What more can we ask Napoleon,
after all, Is q gentleman.

Mr.. Colfax says, "You need not fear that
Congress win take any backward steps In re-
construction" This assurance was not needed
by The people at large, however much II may
have been by Mr.. Colfax's friend. The revo-
lutionary character Of Congressional leaders Is
too we'll known for ii to be thought that body
can take backward steps. Did Robespierre
take any backward step, or Danton, or even
Napoleoni No. The remedy that the men
who come to thc surface in revolutionary times
fad for every difficulty is TO 20 little farther
forward. and they 60 forward, never finding the
limit ill they see it in their own rain; aud 1t

society that they have such an intellectual con-
stiluion ~ 10 force the events that destroy
them.
