denoe from the armies of Scott and Taylor,
Doniphan, Kearney and Fremont Yet again,
in the honors conferred upon Napier, we have
but another example of the great secret of
Englands strength among the nations. She
rewards her faithful servants with liberal
hand. The people of the United States, too,
from Washington to this day, have not forgot
ten the wisdom of this policy. Hence the
commanding position in which General Grant
now stands as candidate for the next Presi-
dency AS the saviour of their government
and country from dissolution, it is the will of
the sovereign people that he shall take the
helm
Finally, In this late Abyssinian expedition,
regardless of COSTS hazards or consequences,
for the rescue of certain English subjects we
have an example of the vigilance of the gov
eminent over it's people which we must adopt
and everywhere enforce in the protection of
the citizen, before our government can be pro-
perly respected by the Cabinet of England,
the ''greasers' of Mexico, or the King of the
Cannibal Islands.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1868-07-12

The geographical situation of New York is
health OF its rapidly increasing population.
The winds that sweep through il from the un-
rivaled bay below and from the rivers on each
side daily purify the atmosphere, and single
shower washes away more filth than the most
faithful and energetic contractor could remove
in a week. At the last meeting of the Board
of Health. however, two evils seriously detri
mental to the public health were quite properly
denounced-the bad and insufficient food, to
which the recent lamentable increase in the
mortality Of children must be directly attri-
buted, and the poisonous odors from the gas
works that spread disease and death through
out the whole region between Fourteenth and
Thirty-titt streets. The latter evil would be
remedied by the adoption Of the new magne-
stun light so highly commended by Professor
Doremus in late number of the HERALD.
The former evil demands the immediate atten-
ton of our authorities to the suggestion OF
Commissioner Smith in favor Of the publication
OF series of rules for diet TO be distributed
among the poorer classes OF citizens who live
in tenement houses. This suggestion has been
referred to the Sanitary Committee, with power
to act in the premises.
1t is not too late to insist also upon the i'm
portance of all requisite means to guard against
the danger Of the importation of contagious
diseases, such as the yellow fever, the cholera
and other plaques. We trust that the Board
Of Health will not relax its vigilance and that
this year we may again escape every form Of
| pestence.

A Proclamation from the President.

In compliance with an act of Congress passed
on the 18th of last month the President has is
sued proclamation announcing that the Legis-
lature of North Carolina has ratified the
pending amendment to the constitution known
as ''article fourteen" The President makes
reference to his having received the resolution
of the Florida Legislature ratifying the same,
but announces the fact that it was passed prior
to the act of Congress mentioned, which act is
prospective in it's bearing For this reason,
doubtless, the action of Florida is entirely ig
nOred. The tenor of the proclamation is
quite remarkable, and shows that Mr. Johnson
is determined not to recognize the recon
structed States He speaks of receiving
paper purporting to be resolution OF the
Legislature of Florida, from g Harrison Reed,
who therein signs himself Governor Again,
the other paper was he says, transmitted by
and under the name of w. W. Holden, who
therein writes himself Governor of the State
of North Carolina and so with the other
parties whose signatures are attached All
of this implies that in his official capacity the
President recognizes neither Mr.. Reed nor Mr..
Holden rs Governors of their respective States.

Votes Of the southern states In the Electoral
College.
The question Of admitting the votes of the
Southern States in the Electoral College has
been creating good deal Of discussion in Con-
gress, and bill has just passed both houses
excluding votes of those States that may not
have adopted constitution Of State govern
ment since the 4th Of March, 1867, under which
State government shall have been organized
and in operation, and unless the election Of
electors shall have been held under the
authority Of such constitution and government,
and such State shall also become entitled to
representation in Congress pursuant to the acts
Of Congress. II was necessary, no doubt, to
define precisely the status Of the Southern
States In this respect In order TO prevent any
dfRculty when the votes of the Electoral Col
iasa sAsi, - counted. A. Ooaress he's ~

Our special correspondence from Japan and
China, published this morning, Celebrates in i'm
pOrtant detail the telegraph news from both
countries, dated at Yokohama to the 4th of
June and Shanghai to the 18th of May, which
appeared in our columns a short time since.
The writer's report the origin and progress of
the reactionary CONFUSION produced against
the MikadO of Japan by the aristocracy and
hierarchy after the abdication of the Tycoon,
calling attention at the same time to the man
ner in which the movement had already
affected the foreign interests in the chief ports
of the empire, and its probable future influence
in bar to the opening Of the territory to outside
civilization.
From China we have the latest mail intelli-
gence respecting the demonstrations of the
Northern rebels against Tientsin, news of the
disgrace Of the most talented and formidable
of the imperial generals, useful notes of the
tendency of British diplomacy, advces of the
efforts which are being made by the Emperor
to encourage railroads, with very comprehen-
sive commercial and naval reports
This special correspondence reveals the
fact that hoary prejudiccs, coupled with feudal
selfshness alone prevent the complete
opening of Japan to Christian enlighten

however. The present reception of our letters

sumec the power to say what States are in the
Union and what out which shall be entitled
to representation in the national Legislature
and which not, it will decide, of course, what
electoral votes shall be counted and what not.
Congress has become absolute in the matter,
and there is no going behind its decisions short
of another civil war. Under this condition of
things it is better to have the question
definitely settled in advance of the meeting of
the Electoral College. We want no more civil
war or strife. If Congress be acting unconsti
tutionally and despotically we must wait till
revolution can be effected at the polls. That
is the only remedy. In the meantime the
Southern people and the country generally
must make the best of their dilemma and wait
patiently the turn of events.

By telegram dated in Berlin yesterday and
forwarded through the Atlantic cable We
learn that the Naturalization treaty lately con.
cluded between North Germany and the United
States is in full and pleasing operation in Prus-
sis. King Williams government had ordered
that all prosecutions undertaken against
adopted American citizens Of German birth
should be stayed, and that all such persons
now in prison under former sentences for viois-
ton Of local laws repealed by the treaty shall
be released forthwith. This intelligence win be
received With joy By our German fellow citi-

of capital even this byss..h o. the snipou'iaing
intersst must languish, and thus eventually
pass into the hands of foreign artisans. Yet
1t is well known that as carriers iron ships
''sweat" their cargOes in low attitudes and are
unexpectedly hot Besides, they require to
be frequently locked to be kept clean, and can
never enter the lists of competition with
wooden ships for freights in the tropics.
The shipbuilding interests of the United
States were never in such languishing crcum-
stances as now. The unsound condition of
the national currency, by enhancing the cost
of labor and materials, has doubtless con-
tributed to produce this deplorable state of
things, and the only hope for the revival Of
this important branch of American industry is
in speedy and energetic Congressional legisla-
ton. Stringent laws are needed for the better
protection Of life and property at sea. Amore
rigid inquiry should be instituted into the
capacity of navgators and engineers and
every effort made to encourage the endOw-
ment Of marine schools. The natural result of
these measures would be to attract the capital
OF the merchant and to stimulate the skill of
the mechanic and the shipwright In the
event of war the entire force of the private
shipyards thus called into. life would become
available for government work Let us,
then, urge upon Congress the pressing
necessity of relieving our shipbuilding interest
from the trammels and drawbacks which now
depress it.
