TIE PEACE Society is about to hold
its "May Anniversary, !" In Boston, on
this side Of the Atlantic, and at Exeter
Hall, In London. 1t is to be regretted
that one cannot congratulate them up
on the "look out" ahead, as furnishing
any satisfactory manifestation of the
progress of their principles. There.
for instance, is England, sending a
fleet to lombard Cadiz, with view to
the summary settlement of the lorna
do case. France is threatening to re-
plunge Germany into the horrors OF
war, In order that she may posses her
self OF the Duchy OF Luxembourg,
Turkey Is threatening to issue formal
declaration Of war against Greece, be.
cause Of the Cretan troubles. Ireland
has just been, II 1t Is not even now, In
insurrection,-while Russia is suspect
ed of having an hostile eye on ConsIan-
tinople. None OF these powers talk OF
settling their differences by ''arbitra-
ton" and as the ''arbitration" idea Is
the hobby of the Peace Society, the
plentiful lack of encouragement which
1t Is receiving, 1t seems TO us would be
enouR b to disgust philosophers of u less
sanSuine temperament.

ENGLAND is evidently preparing to
Withdraw from this continent. The
London Times explicitly represents
the Imperial guarantee to the projected
Intercolonial Railroad as the equiva-
lent for the withdrawal of English
troops from the North American
Provinces. ''It is the intention of the
Queens Government to withdraw at no
distant time all British troops from the
American continent" are the sugges-
tive words OF the London journal on
the occasion. FROM this point OF view,
the Intercolonial Railroad is ''mock.
cry, a delusion and n snare" As a
means of facilitating the transport OF
British troops, It might be possessed OF
advantages commensurate to its cost.
In any other sense 1t Is a monstrous
folly. The Provinces, left to them
selves, would be powerless; and when
the English Government aids the rail-
road in consideration of the withdrawal
OF its troops, Canada and her sisters
must make up their minds to face the
difficulties and the expenditure OF a
new existence. Nothing that has trans
ptred warrants the belief that the
Provinces in any respect appreciate the
delicacy and danger of their new po-
aition.

Following the lead Of the English
Liberals, the progressive party in Bel
GUM are agitating there for an extern
sion of the suffrage. The Conserva-
tives affect to ridicule the movement.
which has already attained large i'm
portance in public opinion, while the
clerical party denounce II as the begin
ming OF drama whose denoueme,tt will
be the ruin of their national institu-
lions and the apotheosIs of revolution
tionary ideas. The Independence Bekqe
shows the impossibility OF taking Sc
riously Doth the sarcasms of the Com
seryatives and the fears of the clergy,
and we'll says that this afIectation OF
contempt or ofterror can have no other
result than that of imparting anew i'm
pulse to the movement. II warns the
players of this dangerous game that by
disdaining public opinion they only
render 1t more aggressive in its de-
ma1ds, and refers to the example of
England to prove that in REFRESHING
popular manifestations they will only
stimulate them, and In refusing mod
crate demands they only provoke others
more violent. The republican leayen

Just now the country is shocked by
repeated instances ofspecial brutality
exercised by parents toward their
children under pretense of family gov
eminent. 1t may reasonably be doubt
ed whether on the whole parental yio-
lence has increased. 1t is safe to con.
clude that some OF the worst cases have,
owing to concentrations OF circum.
stances, been recently brought to light.
1t is graceful and poetic to speak of The
beauty and strength of the love Of ma
rents for offspring. That such love
really exists, and frequently In the
most excellent sense, does not Init of
contradiction. But, IL the children
should be adduced as witnesses. and
tell all they have felt of parental brn.
tality, the other side would stand out
in revolving contrast. Multitudes of
fathers and mothers are SO badly or
gained that they, are incapable OF en-
ploying any other sort OF discipline
than force. Their usual method is a
word and a blow, and much of the
time the blow comes first. Parental
authority Isl in It's very nature, neces-
sartiy irresponsible to q large extent.
II sounds pleasant to say that the love
that comes with children constitutes
their best protection against abnse.

WE had a conversation yesterday
with a gentleman formerly of this vi
cinity now a resident of Lawrence
county, Ala, who gives US some inter-
esting information in regard to that
country. Henow owns and works a con-
siderable plantation in that county and
employs some 40 or so negroes. The most
prominent fact connected with their
employment Is their increased value as
laborers since their Acknowledgement.
They are now given on many of the
plantations a certain pro rata Of the
crops, and their ambition is constant.
ly stimulated to produce the great
est possible yield. He informs US that
all the reports of their vagabondtsm are
the merest fabrications. The very con-
trary Is the case within the scope Of his
observation. The idea of the negroes
is to make head in the world, and, il
possible, acquire the status OF property
owners and OF substantial citizenship.
The change that has been wrought in
them, in the estimation of our friend, is
wholly beneficial, and will ultimately
tell with great effect on the wealth of
the communities where their labor is
80 advantageously employed.

THE speech-making tour which Sen
ator Wilson has undertaken in the
Southern States. is probably as hard a
piece Of political service as any man has
rendered since the war broke out. We
do not refer to any personal risks, the
experiment at Petersburg has shown
the probable safety of the undertaking,
even lift had not been otherwise appa.
rent, and while it is still possible that
In more distant and less intelIl-
gent sections, Nj. Wilson may find less
tolerant opponents, we have no fear
that he will have trouble anywhere in
securing u hearing. But 1t Is neverthe-
less the hardest sort of service to deliv-
er political gospel to dreary success
sion of audiences of which the most
sympathetic elements are ignorant,
uncertain of their future, and not vet
accustomed to Independent action,
while the least ignorant portion Is sui.
len or openly hostile. The narrow and
selEsatisfed provincialism of the
Southern mind must chill and its in
grained prejudice discourage, quite as
much as the quick bat perhaps unsta-
bic sympathy ofthe freedmen will cheer
the speaker. To argue upon the past
and advise upon the future in the pres
ence Of such an unparalleled mixture
ofinterests and hopes, Is hard enter
prise, which only a veteran campaigner
like Mr. Wilson could think OF at
tempting.

Peace costs something in Europe.
The inquiries of the Belgian War OF
flee, show an aggregate of three million
two hundred and eighty thousand small
arms which this year will have been
either newly manufactured or altered
to keep pace with the terrible efficacy
OF the needle gun, since the war of
Prussia made its capabilities evident.
What with Crete and the Sublime
Porte, Russia and the DardanelIes,
Holland and Luxembourg, French
armament and Prussian arrogance, the
Continent seems fairly bristling with
belligerency as well as bayonels, and
the preservation of peace may be only
preparation for war. But amid all this
dreary prospect there is one island OF
tranquil delight. John Bull has tired
of exertipg even a 'snoral Influence" in
European politics, and now declines to
tender. his advice, much less to back it
up. his course Will ne found in the end
the most econOmicala at all events.
