The Senate has ratified the secret Russian
Treaty by % secret vote, in which it is under
stood there were but two nays, and over thirty
yeas. We do not understand the rea-
sons for this secrecy in regard to mat
ter claimed to be perfectly frank and just.
Secret treaties are rare even in Europe where
political interests are involved, and we are en-
tirely at loss to perceive why what is said to
be a mere sale of land should be carefully kept
from the people, who certainly have right to
know more Of the treaty than Mr.. Seward
chooses to disclose.
AS sailors are sometimes seized with passion
for the land, and insanely run their ships on
the nearest shore, so with the Senate. Land
we must have in obedience to the territorial
mania, and if il is at the North Pole, no mat
ter. But though the Senate has ratified the
secret treaty, the purchase OF Russian
America cannot he effected without the
assent Of the House, which has the power to
refuse the appropriation. The sober sense OF
the people will, We trust, have sufficient intiu-
encc with the House to nullify the action OF
the Senate.

with cOnidence-men and these, as is usual
! upon such occasions, having exhaled, it follows
that the sad and the swindled may whistle for
their money, as so many sad and swindled
have whistled before. The payee may be pas
sionately rampant, but the payer is not to be
found. If people will lend their money to
phantom States and ghoStly Governments, they
must take the consequences, among which
prompt payment Of principal, or even of inter
est, is hardly to be reCkOned. There are only
three parties who can possibly be called upon
to protect these bonds. viz
1. The Confederate States" which are
slightly hard to get at about this time.
.. The Reconstructed States, which are not
the parties that borrowed the money.
3. The United States, which can scarcely be
expected to pay for the pctards prepared for
thcir own hosting.
1t is true That Admiral Wallis, the Chair
man, hit upon what he evidently considered an
exceedingly brilliant and conclusive illustra-
ton. "By all international law" said this in
iured tar, "the country which was the con-
"Queror recognized the debts of its predecessors.
PRUSSIA, for instance, had conquered Hanover,
"and had recognized its debts but 1t appeared
"that the United States were determined to
"repudate those of the South" which is
equivalent to saying: 81 lent money to
"thief upon pledge of stolen goods; but now,
GAS the owner has received back his property,
81 expect him to pay my little demand" This
ia very bad logic indeed, even for an Admiral.
Moreover, it is hardly likely that Prussia
would have undertaken to pay debts con-
tracted solely for her own ACKNOWLEDGMENT and
Decentralization.
We cannot see that this meeting did any
thing more than resolve "tO raise large sum"
to which, we suppose, the lawyers will not
make the least objection. The larger the sums,
the stronger will be the opinion OF eminent
counsel that somebody ought to pay poor Adj
mirai Wallis. But, sagacious mariner as he is,
he will see, sooner or later, that for plalntlif
TO recover there must be defendant to re-
cover from. The loan, in the very beginning,
was a naked gambling transaction, and by this
time the operators should have had enough OF
it. But hope springs eternal Ill the breasts
even of Admirals ont of pocket; and the vic
tins of the Southern COnfederacy," having
still little money left, are determined to
throw the dice again. Such desperation Is very
common, but it is also very pitiable.

the suffrage shall be as impartial as it is in
New -England-that property tests shall not
apply to one class of citizens that do not apply
TO another. We propose to labor until every
law, custom, act, or ordinance, North or South,
which makes any distinction i'll citizenship or
even remotely imperils the civil rights of any
man, shall be removed. Itmay be well to do this
by the sword but we cannot always live under
the sword. Tomorrow the people must rule,
and we work for tomorrow, SO that when re-
construction is over, and the Southern States are
in the Union, we shall have Republican delega-
tions from them all. This can only be done by
educating the people, by teaching them pollt-
ical truth, by overcoming falsehOod by organ
zatiOn and counsel by purifying the bench,
the press, and the party. Above all things ana
here we must answer The Times PLAINLY
at the risk of offense, it can only be done by
disdaining to follow the false leaders who
behaved so cOwardly in Connecticut and Who'
whenever another crisis comes, may propose 10
hurry off to Philadelphia and cry over Copper
head ideas,r and defend treason, and treachery,
and massacre We have not forgotten the perll
of the late Midsummer days, and the men
who then proposed to capture the Republican
party and sell it at the shambles of Secession
and Democracy. SO when we say "Where
Captains are unworthy, or timid, or time
"serving, let them be cashered," we mean
that to escape the perils then threatened we
must not trust the men who created them.
This is the best explanation we can give OF
the article which has distressed our contemporary,
and we trust that we have in some way sOOthed
his disappointment

LIME DUCKS IN COUNCIL.

To crowd the mourners, it must be allowed,
is an offense against good taste and equally
against good feeling, and therefore when an
AmericaQ laughs ut the Confederate Bondhold-
eTfs, he Should do it like the elder Mr.. Weller,
"inwardly." A cOnvOcation Of these 6ntefpfis4
ing hut unlucky spectators was held at the
London Tavern on the Goth ult., with gallant
but low spirited Admiral in the chair. Many
were the questions asked and many were the
speeches made, but the sum total of the
whole matter was an assessment of 1-16
per cent upon the ideal value of
the bonds, TO enable the Committee TO hire
lawyers, and make attachments, and carry on
suits, and send good money after bad with
courageous recklessness and desperate protu-
sion. The Admiral stated that the Committee
had been taking an opinion of cone of the
" first counsel in America" who thought not
only that the bonds ought to be paid but that
they would be paid at no distant day" Zap
plausel The lawyer turns ont to be the Hon.
John L. O'Sullivan, for whose "opnion" we
hope no very extraordinary sum was disbursed.
The best way, as his faith was so lively, would
have been to pay him in the very bonds of
which he has such an excellent opinion.
Most Iof the speakers upon this interesting
but melancholy occasion yseem to have been
both morally and intellectually in a muddled
condition. Men who talked so freely of appeal
ing to judicial tribunals should have remem-
bered that treason is felony, and that felony
taints every transaction into which it enters as
an element. Those who hypothecated cotton
to secure this loan, began by stealing the mer-
chandse which they pledged; for every ounce
of il had, by the most elementary principles
of public law, been long before forfeited to the
Government of the United States. The cash
was borrowed by linen who had no legal
authority to borrow it; it was employed in an
effort to change the political character of States;
it was expended to destroy American
nationality; and now, the experiment having
disastrously failed, those who lent their
money for these benefcent purposes have sim
ply nobody to look to for repayment, for the
papable reason that they lent to nobody and
nobody borrowed. They transacted business
with myths, with shadows, wi,h ptctcndcrs,

The Rev. DR.. StOrrs delivered, last night, at
the Brooklyn Academy of Music, remarkable
lecture on "Seven Years of Change among
Nations" Ii is seldom that an audience has
an opportunity to listen to a statement OF recent
European politics, so compact, and clear and
so crowded with information. DR.. Storrs's ora
ton embraced the transformation of the Rus
sian Tmpirr undor Alexander by tho onlnncipa-
tion of Twenty-Five Millions of serfs, tho final
extinction OF the Polish nationality, the
growth Of Prussia and consolidation Of Ger
many under the lead of Count Bismarck,
and the establishment of the Kingdom OF
Italy, by the triple efforts of Cayour,
Victor Emanuel. and Garibaldi. This is wide
sweep to take in one lecture, but DR.. StOrrss
audience, which filled every seat in the Acad-
emy, paid him the high compliment of listening
with undated interest for two hours and a
half. An outline of this admirable address is
all we can find room for; and is printed on the
eighth page.

.yEFrERSON DAVISS GREETING.

We have not seen one Southern paper which
dcnounces the Reconstruction law rs insulting
and barbaric, and Congress rs a body of traitors
and tyrants, which does not hail the Democratic
success in Connecticut as q Southern victory.
There is not one paper of the kind which does
not advise postpOnement Of reconstruction, III the
hope that other Democratic successes will gam
for the Rebel States unconditional representa-
ton in Congress, and the ultimate repeal OF the
law. AS during the war the Democratic party
was the acknowledged champion OF secession
and rebellion, so is it now OF the rebelllous
spirit which survives the dispersion OF the Rebel
armies.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis has recently added his
reioicings to those of the Democrats III Con-
nectcut and assured them of his sympa-
tbies. As he mOurncd when Grant drove
Lee from Richmond, when Sherman car
red the Stars and Stripes through the
heart of the South, so he mourned over every
Republican triumph at the polls; and as he
rcioiced when Union troops were routed
at Charlottesville, he rejoices over the
election of Mr. English. That IS
very natural-we do not expect the
leader OF the Rebellion TO-. exult in any
success Of the party which crushed it-but
it is also very significant. Great must
be the comfort felt by the Democrats
TO know that Mr.. Davis believes E" the Connec-
' ticut election to be one of which that State
"mav well be proud" 1t il a compliment
which we rejoice he never paid to the RepuO-
lican party; ue ask approval from the loyal
people, and not from the men VINO sought TO
destroy the Union.
jefferson Davis rcioiccs in the Connecticut
election because to him it appears to be the
turning point in the political struggle ana
"will have great effect on the political
"baIonce of power. and on succeeding eico-
TONS In almost these very words he
babe the Rebel armies take new
hope from the Democratic victories in
1862. lie thought the election of Horatio Sey-
mour in New-York the turning point of the
war, as he now affects to believe that the cleo
tion of Mr. English indicates the readiness of
the North to abandon the party which saved
the Union.
Let the Conservatives and Democrats make
the most of jeff Dayis's pride in their Con-
necticut victory. We do not envy them the
approval and alliance of man who did his
utmost to divide the Republic, and to establish
an empire upon Slavery. They may profit
if they can. by the fact that Andrew
Johnson's administration can only be
sustained in way which encourages
the hopes of the chiefs of the Rebellion.
Every vote for his policy is "a vote for the
policy of jefferson Davis, and the fellowship is
not NJ our making. We are perfectly content
that Mr.. Davis should be proud of the Demo
Gratis and that the Democrats should be proud
of Nh Davis.
New-York tribune., 1867-04-10

The anticipation that for the present France
would be anxious to avoid war, is confirmed by
the statement that the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs has made pacific speech, But
for the future the Luxcmbng affair may yet
prove the germ of a great war. The city of
Luxemburg is one of the strongest fOrtresses in
Western Europe. and if Louis Napoleon de-
clares its acquisition indispensably necessary
for the defense of France, he is likely to carry
the public opinion of France, always dcsirous of
glory and ag2rarsl,ement, with him. The cur
rent of public opinion will he made all the
stronger by the defiant attitude of Prussia. To
a patriotic Frenchman, the thought that France
should comply with the behests OF Bismarck,
must be intOlemble. Germany. on the other
hand which now smarts moro than she has
ever done before under the loss Of Alsace and
Lorraine would enthusiastically support her
great Minister if he should, at any risk, oppose
the sale of Luxemburg to France.
