Our Csamerciai Rclasisss with Japan.
When the first Japanese embassy arrived in
New York enthusiastic speculations were
indulged in in regard to the intimate CONNER
cial relations which it was likely to open up
between the two countries. Some seven or
eight years have elapsed since then, but these
hopes have only been partially realized.
Owing to the exclusive policy of the japanese
government difficulties Of one kind or another
have supervened, and it is only by slow de-
grees and by an occasional resort to force that
they have at length been overcome. The
people themselves, more enterprising and less
prejudiced than the Chinese, have been ready
to trade with us; but, restrained by the tram
mels of rigid despotism, they have not been
allowed to develop such of their industrial and
other resources as would have enabled them
to consume largely of European and American
products in return. Their expectations have
been almost entirely confined to silk and tea,
and of these they have shipped only small
quantities
viii the replacement by more liberal minded
rulers of the Daimios, who advocated this re-
striciive system, th re has come change of
policy. There now appears to be a dis
position to extend commercial intercourse
with other nations, but more particularly
with this country. The arrival in New York
a sufficiently satisfactory Indication of
this improved condition OF feeling, but it is
rendered more positive by the character Of the
instructions given to II. The Japanese govern
ment, il seems, has formed such high esti-
mate Of our commercial and Industrial enter
prise, as well as of our naval and military
systems, that it has ordered its commissioners
to devote themselves to a careful study of our
institutions. The effect OF all this will be to
develop in its turn the internal resources Of
| their own empire and to enable it TO export
such variety Of products as will largely ex-
| tend its trade with us.
We are preparing ourselves for the brilliant
commercial future opening 70 us in connec-
| tion with China and Japan by multiplying our
means Of direct communication with those
countries. Already we havea monthly line Of
| steamers running to their principal ports,
and before long we shah have weekly
ones. The Pacific railrpad Will COM
plete the chain Of connection, and then their
exports, instead of having to make their way to
| US by tedious aud circuitsus sea route, will
be expedited for great { podI6n " lie dissspce
over land. One great saving of expense that
will be effected by the change will be that made
by the facility Of dropping the goods at inter-
mediate places Of consumption, thus econo-

Tho Indian bIes-Hostiiities Imminent.
Active operations Of serious nature have
actually begun on the plains, and the next
news heard may be the destruction OF the flying
Cheyennes by Clusters cavalry, unless, indeed,
these fhgitives have the art to draw their pur-.
suers into an ambush and repeat In part the
Fort Phil Kearney massacre. 1t seems tnat tne
Indians did not like the tone Of what was said
to them by General Hancock on the 18th inst,
reported In our special correspondence pub
lished few days ago. General Hancock said
ne had heard that "they had proposed to stop
travel on the roads. If they did this they
would do wrong, and the Great Father In Wash
ington would be angry and hit them hard"
This was said to . deputation which came to
rtLarned, and was reported by the deputation
to the tribe, no doubt and when General Han
cock, starting next day, pushed on to the Chey-
enne villages, they were found deserted. The
Indians were not disposed to hear any more, or
their awaiting the advent Of the troops might
be inconsistent with some arrangement pre-
viously made with the tribes.
The tendency Of Indian thought in these dis
tnrbed times may be seen in what was said at
the above conference by leader named Tall
Bear, who confined himself mainly to the Cen
erals declaration that the Indian must in GER
tain circumstances depend upon the white
man for food Tall Bear indicated difficulty.
"He had made his treaties and had kept them.
The buffalo were becoming scarce They had
never been SO scarce as during the past win
ter. The white man had made them scarce.
When the Indian was hungry he had gone to
the fort for food. The officer in command had
told him he would shoot him If he came to the
fort" That, as Tall Bear saw it, is the way
the white man is to feed the Indan-he comes
to the fort for bread and gets bullets. Now
Tall Bear put the case very moderately. We
alluded few days since to the way in which
the massacre Of December was brought
about, and to the habit OF assuming that In
dians are animated by hostile intentions and
shooting them when they come in sight There
is no doubt our officers have gone farther than
merely making such threats as that Tall Bear
alluded to- The government is thus enabled
to see one place where our Indian relations
may be greatly improved by so simple
measure as appointing only men Of discretion
and calm judgment to frontier posts.
While the Indian difficulties thus seem to
threaten immediate hostilities in one direction,
we are glad to note, on the other hand, by the
news from General Sulley's commission, that its
conference with division of the Sioux promises
the best results. The agreement Of this divi-
sion TO accept the policy Of the government
and 60 on reservations is an important point,
and may yet influence all our Indian relations
for better or worse, rs the policy is wisely or
indiscreetly carried out

Tho War Chances and the Neutral Powers
In Europe.

Tho War Chances and the Neutral Powers
In Europe.
The telegraphic dispatches from Europe for
the past few days point to the probability OF
interference by certain neutral nations in the
completely which threatens to lead to war. Il
is insnuated that an effort will be made to
patch up the difficulty. Now, assuming that
Prussia and France are disposed to 90 to war,
we should like to know what Powers are likely
to interfere, with any effect to prevent the
contestf It is not to be presumed that Russia
will enter protest against it, because we can
hardly believe that the French alliance with
England in the Crimean war is forgotten at
ST. Petersburg. There are memories which
decade cannot easily wipe out. In case Of q
war between France and Prussia 1t is not at
all improbable that Russia would be found at
the back of the latter country, refreshed by the
recollections Of Sebastopol, and French victo-
ries won there. England Is too old-wom anish
and too shaky just now to exercise any in
duence In continental affairs. She has enough
to do with her domestic troubles and even II
she were disposed to proffer friendly media
tion, her Interference would probably be re-
jected with contempt It would undoubtedly
be argued that country which cannot govern
its own people and is actually in state Of
progressive revolution has no business to in
terfere with the question Of peace or war be-
tween other nations.
We do not see very clearly, then. from wha'
quarter mediation is to come between Prussia
and France, II Prussia is resolved to bring
about quarrel; and we should not be at all
surprised to hear within week or so Of
Of hostile armies towards the Rhine.
The telegraphic straws apparently show that
The wind Is blowing in that direction.
