The position assumed in a Camp street
journal concerning military interference
with the Judiciary" and referring to the
order Of General Buchanan setting aside an
injunction from the Fourth District Court to
restrain the collection of the Convention
tax, is plainly untenable. The reasoning,
of whatever force it may be after the State
has been restored to its place in the Union,
bears no application to the present condi-
ton of affairs. The argument is wasted,
for the true point is not touched upon.
By the first section of the third recon-
struction act it is declared to have been
the true intent and meaning Of the pre-
cediBg acts "that hereafter said govern
ments, if continued, were to be continued
subject in all respects to the military COM
manders Of the respective districts, and to
the permanent authority Of Congress-" The
act of March 20 directs shat the Conven-
ton for each State shall prescribe the fees,
salary, and compensation to be paid to all
delegates and Other officers and agents
herein authorized or necessary to carry in
to effect the purposes Of this act not herein
otherwise provided for, and shall provide
for the levy and collection Of such taxes on
the property in such State as may be neces-
sary to pay the same.p
There is no question as to what under
ordinary circumstances may be the juris-
diction of the Fourth District Court of New
Orleans, but simply as to whether this
court, being now part Of the provisional
government which is "subject in all respects
to the military commanders of the respect
i've districts and the paramount authority
of Congress can nolq set aside this author
ity and declare unconstitutional that which
Congress in the exercise Of It's paramount
power has directed to be done.
It is not necessary to adduce arguments
in proof Of the abaurdity Of such CON
struction. A simple statement Of the
proposition carries with it its own answer.
We again advise our citizens to pay their
taxes at once, TO avoid eosts.p

Our NEWS FROM CHINA AND JAPAN.-The
special correspondence from China and Japan
which we publish this morning the reader will
find very interesting particularly the letter
from Hong Kong in relation to Mr.. Burlingame
and his mission. The great trouble with the
multitudinous Chinese and Japanese Is that
the admission Of foreigners, with their steam.
ers and other labor saving appliances, throw4
the natives by hundreds and thousands out OF
employment, and the peaceable settlement Of
this question, we fear, will be found impossi-
BILE, because it threatens the upsetting Of
manual labor to an extent which will reduce
millions upon millions Of people to beggarY.

We notice that the new President Of the Ar
gentinc Republic Is making move In the right
direction for the progress Of the vast territory
of his country. Measures are being taken to
divide the public lands into sections after a
sy,.ccn somewhat similar to that existing in
the United States States This. however, was first
proposed some ten years since. -ue govern
ment at that time offered large amount ~ ~"
the best plan, aud accepted very elaborate
and able report prepared by Edward A. Hop
kins, who accompanied II with the proper
plans for the division Of the national domain.
IL was never carried into effect, owing TO the
civil wars which have swept over the country
Southern Europe has great interest in the
proper division OF these Argentine lands
There il now an immense emigration annually
from Italy to the Plata valley, which is making
great industrial and political changes in South

ern Europe Of its surplus population South
America appears destined to furnish home
for emigrants from the Latin nations of The Old
World.

The Elections liz Great Britain.

A late telegram informs us that the British
Parliament will be dissolved on the | It'll of the
present month that in boroughs where there
are no rival candidates the election shall take
place on the 10th, and where there is oppo-
sition on the day following. The county cleo
tions will be q day or two later: P ariamsr..
will meet on the 9th of December, when the
Queens speech will be delivered. This speech
will, as usual, reveal the ministerial pro-
s,,-staIne. 1t is believed that the present
Sneaker Of The ncnse Of Commons will be re-
elected and that the House WI proceed to
business on or about the l4th OF December,
II Is now all but certain that the Queens
speech will furnish the opportunity for a test
debate which will seal the fate of the present
Ministry. Mr.. Gladstone will then be called
upon by her Majesty to form a Ministry. An
adjournment will be the result. No real
work will be done until we are fairly entered
upon 1869. Then, however, Mr.. Disraeli
will be found a stronger man In opposition
than he has been found In office.

Tho Peace Question in Europe.

Two of our latest kilograms show how strong
is the desire in Europe for the maintenance OF
peace. King William of Prussia has opened
the Prussian Diet with speech from the
throne. The relations Of Prussia are declared
10 DC satisfactory and fears of war groundless.
Baron Beust, since Sadowa the leading spirit
In Austria, advises peaceful solution Of the
Schieswig- Holstein difficulty. This does not
mean much from one point of view, but Il
means great deal from another point of view.
Austria is not able to go to war with Prussia,
aud Austria is the only party which has just
cause to feel aggrieved by the non-fulflment
by Prussia OF the treaty of Prague. But
France, though with less reason, is more in
censed than even Austria with Prussia be.
cause of her conduct in this matter OF schles-
wig Holstein. The danger is that IL Prussia
and Austria cannot agree in the premises Aug
tria may lend her influence to France. This
would create at once serious difficulty.
Prussia would be alone unless she could call
in the aid Of Russia, which it is doubtful
whether she could do on this particular ques-
ton. Meanwhile we learn that Napoleon has
been employing his leisure hours at Biarritz
in planning map of Europe. What is the
particular purpose to be served by this new
French map we have not yet learned. The
hint has been thrown out, and it will not our
prise us if it has hit the truth. Napoleon has
his head full of reconstruction and contem-
plates once more European Congress. It Is
manifest that the nations wish peace, but 1t la
not less manifest that the horizon is not clear.
There are too many outstanding questions to
allow us to conclude that continued peace in
Europe is certainty.

Mime. Olympic Audouard and Her Lectures.
Nine. Olympic Audouard (the Countess de
la Morliere), who adds to her noble title the
double distinction which she has acquired as
writer and as q traveller, announces to-day in
the HERALD that on Wednesday evening, No
vember IL, she will begin at the theatre of the
Union League Club series of six lectures on
''yictor Hugo-his Political and Literary Ca
reer," "The Civil and Political Rights of
Woman" Tragedy and Comedy" and 'The
Condition of Turkey and Egypt" The lee
turc on 'Woman's Rights" will probably be
based on the article which Nine. Olympic Au-
douard wrote for the Repue Cosmopolite Ga
magazine edited by her at Paris), but which,
for political reasons, the Minister of the In
terror would not authorize her to publish. She
ingeniously took her revenge by leaving seve-
raj pages of the magazine blank, with the
title of the article at the head of
each page. The personal relations of Nine.
Olympic Audouard with the most brilliant
literary circles in France will lend special in
terest and value to her lectures on ''victor
Hugo and on Tragedy and Comedy" How
well qualified she is to treat of ''The Condition
of Turkey and Egypt is manifest from the
sparkling pages Of LOrient ct Ses Peuplades,"
work embodying the results of her travels in
the East, and which will be supplemented, we
hope, by narrative Of her recent travels in
America, and especially in Utah.

complishments than they could learn by three
months study Of all the grammars Of all the

Cuban Iudependence-The Naval Expedition
oil spain to Hold the Island.


The last stronghold of Spain in the New
World is slipping from her grasp. The
great central point from which her conquering
expeditions were launched upon the Continent
is finally giving way to the impulse which now
returns to it from the mainland. So long as
Spain could maintain large standing army
Upon the island she was able to prevent the
elimination of the forces which were aiming at
revolution and independence. But the troubles
at home have Embossed the grasp which kept the
free movement in allegiance, and now, with tho
island trembling In full revolt, we may at any
moment hear that the colonial government i
overturned and q provisional one established
in its place This would have taken place long
since had IL not been for the fact that almost
the entire power Of Spain was devoted to the
holding of this colony. The revolution Of 1903,
which gave the other colonies an opportunity
for freedom, yielded no such hope to Cuba,
which was held as base of operations to re-
conquer Spanish America. The revolution of
1865 brings however, more promise. and the
libcraIists are hard at work. 'Prim and Ser
rano. v the cry OF the Insurgents, anu VIA
Spain, true to her destiny, shouts back. 'Dont
disturb our treasury" and hastily fits out four
frigatos and a large number OF transports, that
she may cling to this key Of her financial sal
walton. This alone is a sufficient recognition
by her OF the danger existing that she may
lose the great jewel. In the present disturbed
condition Of the Peninsula IL is almost neccs-
City TO the Spanish revolutionists that they
cling to Cuba From her they may draw the
means to wage the desperate war against the
clergy which they have boldly opened by their
DEGREES against the property aud privileges Of
these throughout Spain. The astute revol,-
tionary leaders have carefully omitted to apply
the same DEGREES to the colonies and cunninqly
promise freedom Of the press, provincial
governments and the suppression OF unpopular
instiluiioas.' We suggest that the most ''un-
popular institution" to be suppressed on the !
island is ias Spanish government itself: and |,
