TIE BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN CONFED
ER4TTON

The English people are proverbial for their
ignorance of the affairs of their colonies 1t is
only on this ground that we can account for the
fluctuations in which we find the English press
indulging upon the legislative consummation of
the long talked of scheme for the confederation
of the British North American Provinces. 1t is
true that in any case project so fattering to
the national vanity would have been certain OF
evoking no small amount of gratulation but it
is evident from the oil but unanimous
appreciation which is bestowed upon the con-
federation plan, that the matter is not properly
understood in England. There seems to be a
few, however, who do not take quite so favor
able and hopeful q view of the transaction as
the great majority, and who evidently have
their misgivings as TO the successful working
of the scheme when brought into practical
operation. And these, we incline to think,
have reason on their side. For, in the first
place, it is fact which cannot do denied that
confederation has been forced upon the
people of tho provinces. When the scheme
was first broached it met with serious
opposition both in Canada and the
maritime provinces. Newfoundland and
Prince Edwards Island positively refused to have
anything to do with, and it was only through
q strong pressure put upon Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick by the Home Government that
these colonies were induced to become partners
in the affair Up TO the present time the pro-
ject has not been submitted to the test of
popular vote; and Lord Carnarvon, in the
speech with which he introduced the Confed-
Grafton bill into the House of Lords, referring
TO the demand from Nova Scotia that
the question shall be submitted to the peo-
plc, stated that the effect of remitting it to
the hustings for q decision would be ian in
definite postponement of the whole plan."
Indeed, there is party in Nova Scotia, of no
small consideration in point of numbers, in
Huence, and the ability of its leaders, which
openly declares that annexation to the United
States is to be preferred to submission to
the terms of compulsory confederation.
In this division of sentiment then, we
think there arc tho elements of serious trouble
And if we look closely at the scheme itself We

PRESIDENT JOHNSON MADE TO THREATEN
REPUDIATTON

That this country owes very great National
Debt, is an incontestable truth. That most of
us who are TO pay it do not regard it as Ma
tional blessing, is equally clear. True, there
are incidental advantages resulting from its eI
istence. Here is great savings bank, wherein
any one may invest his little or his much, re-
ceiving a good interest punctually, and selling
out on fair terms whenever he needs his capital.
The Debt is first mortgage on all the property
and all the industry of our people, and may be
fairly estimated as subtracting One-tenth
from the value of tho former. BY sternly re-
solving to pay off at least One Hundred Mil
lions per annum-as we did in the last calendar
year-we might wipe it out within the next
quarter of century. And we firmly believe
the People would prefer to do this, if their
true opinion could be ascertained. Of course,
they understand that this implies forecast and
self-denial; but We hold them ready to pay
somewhat higher taxes to-day and henceforth
rather than transfer the Debt incurred in put
ting down the Shareholders Rebellion to the
shoulders Of their grand children.
Yet there are many who take a different view.
Some insist that we should pay only the an
nual interest leaving the principal to be dealt
with at some indefinite future day, when our
country shall have become immensely richer
and moro populous than now; others seem to
think that it would be still more convenient not
to pay at all. And these look forward to n
time when the Debt may be sponged out by
some gigantic exhibition Of National rascality.
The Citizen Of Saturday contains Washing
ton letter from its editor. Gen. Halpne, detail
ing such portions of a recent conversation with
President johnson az relate more especially to
the National Debt. Mr. johnson figures therein
as regarding the country as on the high road to
perdition because of the policy of Congress
with regard Y Reconstruction; So Dneh is
what might, perhaps, be expected; but he pro-
ceeds TO talk as if this policy were specially
Eastern, and as if the West would somehow
be impelled by it to join the South in repudi-
ating the National Debt, which he assumes to
be mainly held at the East The President is
represented by Gen. Halpine as saying in sub
stance
but what do we now flndi The aristocracy based on
tOOOOOOOOO OF property IN slaves south OF Mason and
DxOns line has dsappeared an arstocracy based on

TIE REFORM DEBATE IN THE ENGLISH
PARLIAMENT

The proceedings of the House of Commons
on the Reform Question, on the 25th and 26th
of February, will be counted in the history Of
the Reform agitation as one of the most bril-
liant victories of the friends of Reform. 1t may
be doubted whether q passage of the Reform
bill proposed by the late Liberal Ministry
could have been of equal service to the lasting
triumph of the Liberal cause. When In the
Opposition the Conservatives denounced the
chief points in the Reform bill of the late Minis
try, the extension of suffrage, and the reduction
of the. rotten borough system, as leading to
the Americanzation' of English Institutions
It is highly amusing now to notice the
effort of Mr.. Dsraeli to make the number
of persons who would have been enfranchised
by the Reform resolutions as large as possible,
much larger, in fact than it is according to
the calculations of the leading Liberals; and to
propose to begin in earnest with the reduction
of the rotten boroughs. No more direct
acknowledgment could be made of the strength
OF Liberal principles than this attempt made
by the Tories to court popularity by claim to
Liberalism.
But while making concessions to public
opinion in some respects larger than had been
expected, the Conservatives were unable to
conceal from their opponents the still more
humiliating fact that their party itself was,
with regard to the Reform question, entirely
demoralized and dsorganized They no longer
muster sufficient courage TO defy boldly the
demands of the people, and yet they are
Mt the same time entirely unable to agree upon
any platform. The Ministry deemed it
necessary not to divulge their Reform resolu-
tions to their own party until few hours be-
fore their introduction into tho House, and there
was nothing in the behavior of the COnserva-
tive members to show that they had any
sympathy with them. 1t is stated on good
authority that Earl Derby told his supporters
that if the Ministry should fail on the Reform
measure, he would not again assume the oner-
GUS duties of the position he now occupies.
1t is probably not only magnanimity and
patriotism on the part of the Liberals, if they
omit to turn at once to their advantage, as a
party, the most humilating position of the
Tories The longer the latter remain in power,
the moro conspicuous will become, even in
their own eyes, their entire incompetency
TO settle the Reform question. Already
reunion of the Liberals has been effected. Mr..
Lowe has for once agreed with Mr.. Bright and
promised his support to more thorough Re
form measure than the resolutions proposed
by the Government. Thus it is certain that
some step in advance must soon be made. 1t
will, of course, be far from being final set
Element, but it will be an important advance
in the right direction.
New-York tribune., 1867-03-11

gineer has been replaced, in compliance with
that demand.
The case of this professed pilot shows how de-
fectve is the law concerning our ferries, and how
prone are the ferry companies to take advan-
tage of every such defect, at the risk OF the
public upon which they are dependent for their
profit. The Steamboat act, passed by Congress
August 30, 1862, provides that all pilots and
engineers Of steamboats, should be examined
and licensed, but exempted from the require
ments Of the act ferry-boats, tug-bOats, and
canal-boats. The Act of June 8, 1854, amended
the former act by extending tho requirements
in regard to pilots and engineers to those en-
ployed upon ferry-boats "when engaged In
=" commerce among the several States" The act
therefore applies to the boats plying between
New-York and jersey City, but not 10 the
Staten Island or Brooklyn ferries, their
routes lying wholly within the waters OF
this State, and upon these routes the
judgment or whim Of t9e managers
is the only security offered the public for COM
petent pilots Hence the employment upon the
boat in question Of young man having neither
the certificate of practical knowledge OF his work
which license should give to every person en-
tering pilot house, nor any experience OF nayl-
CATION among the tides and currents of the
harbor The passengers upon any of the Staten
Island or East River lines have no guaranty
against repetition of the Whitehall-slip catas-
trophe SO long as INSCRIPTIONS managers will
grasp at every advantage which defective
law can give them. We commend the instance
to Mr.. Oakley and to the Legislative Committee
of which he is Chairman. That Committee
made, some weeks ago, some sort of an inves-
tigation into our Ferries When may We ex-

shall find that it is rot quite so promising AZ
its advocates would make it appear. 1t con.
tains within itself the seeds of future dissen.
sons and strife. The confederation act pro,
vides that each Of the confederate province,
shall have legislature of its own, and beside
these there is to be supreme legislative body
The former. are to legislate on local affairs,
and the latter is to deal exclusively with gen.
eral questions affecting the interests Of the
whole Confederation. In the event of clashinp
between the Provincial legislatures and the su-
preme parliament, who is to decide between thems
The Dominion will not be an independent na-
tiOnality, like the United States, and it does not
appear, from the act of Confederation, that the
Imperial Parliament has reserved to itself any
power for such an emergency as We have sap
posed We shall be curious to see how The
machinery Of government Of the new Dominion
will work. Again, should the Canadian Par.
lament, in the exercise Of the large legislative
powers with which it is to be intrusted, adopt
policy adverse to that of the Imperial Parlisr
ment, to what court of arbitrament is the
matter to be referred, or how is the difficulty
to be settled2 Or should it provoke collision
between the Confederation and foreign power,
will England in that case stand by the Domn-
ion And, once more, by what means is the
popular will to prevail over an obstructive
Senate, should that body set itself in
stubborn opposition TO the demands of the
peoplef In England the power il
reserved to the Crown Of creating peers, in
order to obviate a threatening difficulty, as
was done in the case of the Reform bill Of
1882. But should the Canadian Senate become
overbearing and intractable, the Constitution
of the new Dominion viii furnish no such con-
venient remedy, that we can see. This Con-
federation strikes us as an anomaly, and some.
thing of blunder; and we shall be surprised
if, taking into account the contradictions it in
wolves, the working of the scheme should an
swer the expectations of its promoters and ad-
vOcates.
