A Texas paper announces the arrival at Gal.
weston of consignment of coolies, shipped
from China under ordinary bills of ladng.
"Two-thirds of these persons are females, one
"of whom is said to be very beautiful" and
the journal from which we quote adds that tho
consignees purpose selling them at auction, 10
pay freight and charges. VIII the United
States authorities inquire into this AFFAIR." Ths
chivalry are having their own way pretty well
at the South, but we would rather not have
revival of the slave-trade.

Of which the Rhetts have so long been in

that as political fact their empire is past We

The National Intelligencer is anxious that
Gen. Grant shall make himself Third Jack
son. In recent article upon the policy of the
new President, it begs that he will so conduct
himself that he may "stand on the same pin
"nacle of fame wih Jackson" Ii reminds him
that, great rs cds JdckSons military glory,
his civic renovn was far more Respondent
and thinks that while Grant has not his "ciyic
experience" he may make Jdckson's life and
conduct u model for his own. There is no ira
dlion in American politics more absurd than
this of JacksOnism The administration of no
President shows greater disregard of public
Justice than that of Andrew Jackson. No ex-
ecutive policy has been productive of so many
bitter results The egacics that came from
him have had their consequence IN war and
public calamity. President Jackson dceased

our politics, and brought into life the principle
that "to the victors belong the spOils" He was
an imperious, despotc man, rarely governed
by considerations of law, and sometimes not
even by considerations of honor. His treat
ment of Mr.. Clay, especially after the election
of Mr.. Adams, would have procured his dis
mssal from any well-conducted jockey club.
The best that can be said of President Jack
son is, that with all his nauOwness and OBJ
stinacy he was thorough American and a
positive believer in the American nation

hope never again to see and we should be very

The Union League of Philadelphia has had
the lberality to offer eleven hundred dollars
in prizes for ESSAYS on the legal Organization
" OF the people TO select candidates for Office
Four prizes, of $780, $500, $500, and 800. were
put up for those essays which, in the judg
ment of Committee of the League should
make the best argument on this point. These
essays have now been published 10y the League.
They set forth in various forms one essential
system viz that the conventions which nOmi-
nate public officers shall be themselves public
officers, elected by the members of the two
parties. The people of New York, for instance,
before voting for Mayor should vote for the
Democratic and Republican officers who are to
nominate two candidates for Mayor. When
these officers have made the nominations the
people would vote for Mayor. This would not
end the present caucus and nominating system.
Tammany, Mozart, the Republican party would
each elect set of delegates. Tammany would
nominate Oakley Hail. Mozart John Kelly,
and the Republican party its candidate in the
old way For these caucus nominations result
from the interest parties and candidates have
in uniting as many voters as possible on one
candidate. 1t would only result, therefore, in
two elections, the first sham and the second
n fact.

The AlNth Amendment does not hinder auch
action; it only provides that if the suffrage he
thus abridged the representation of the STATE
in Congress shall be diminished in tho sana
latio. There is no way of obtaining the guar
antee which the Southern loyalists have a right
to expect, except. says The Post, by authoriz-
ing Congress TO establish national system Of
suffrage. But it is best to argue this question
frankly, and when The Post tries 20 show that
the Chicago platform did not commit itself 70
the position that the question of suffrage in
" all the loyal States properly belongs TO thu
people OF those States" it is only embarrassing
itself with false issue.

The National Christian Convention, which has
closed its three days session in this city, con-
cluded as the result of its dcliberatiOn on the
question How to reach the Masses, that
the principal reason why the Gospel has
not been more universally diffused was
the lack of effort on the part Of wealthy
churches and influential Christians. Asa rene-
DIV for this shortcoming, it was urged that
there be good congregational singing, free
churches, better preaching, shorter ser
mons. moro enthusiasm. less show,
attention to the poor, education
of woman for the Church and for
the missionary field. daily religious newspapers,
and frst-class religious literature.

Mr.. O'Conor's speech at the Eyarts banquet
was in bad taste, which IS remarkable,
because Mr. O'Conor is generally discreet.
Mr. Iloffmans speech was quite as bad
which does not surprise us. The effort
to make the compliment to Mr.. Eyarts appear
to be simply mark of appreciation of his
services as counsel to the President in the I'M
parchment trial was certainly a breach OF
faith. The gentlemen who managed this ban
quet claimed to DO simply DESTROYS of doing
honor to an upright member OF the bar. They
were careful, we are told, to assure their guests
and friends that the banquet was independent
of any reference to impeachment. The N. l..
Times now speaks of "a banquet given in honor
of Attorney General Eyarts, who owes the
position he holds and the banquet he enjoyed
TO The fact that lac was the principal counsel
in the defense Of President Johnson on the
Impeachment Trial. We have no doubt The
Times thinks so but if it had made this state
ment bctore the dinner it would have been
more satisfactory to many of those who imagined
that in doing honor to Mr.. Evarts they were
recognizing simply his ability, his devotion TO
his profession and his long career of private
usefulness

Mr.. Jasper Blackburn, editor of The Homer
QLa.) Nidd, the destruction of whose Office we
reported yesterday, has been repeatedly
through the fires of persecution, and has come
out of them more resolute in his opinions than
before, as always is the case with political
martyrs. He was mobbed several times during
the war for his Union sentiments, he was
threatened with the halter and with his wife
and children he was forced to take refuge in
the swamps. 1t seems that he is hardly safer
under the rule of Andrew Johnson than he
was under jefferson Davis; but under Presl-

The Introductory lecture of Prof Goodwin
Smith at the Cornell University, OH Tuesday,
a synopsis of which we print was fair con-
trast of the new educational system with
the old, and an earnest tribute to the
claims of labor as well as learning.
Coming from Oxford, where the traces
of the medieval system are still broad enough to
the fairest example of WHAT may be expected
from our new civilization, he recognized the
new conditions fully and in nothing more than
in his reference to journalism as the great
power i'm modern culture.

There was something of panic in the Fire
Department and among the insurance offices
yesterday afternoon, consequent upon the rapid
sounding of eight alarms of fire, beside a
general alarm" 1t turned out that six differ
ent stables in Fifteenth and Sixtcenth-sts. on
the east. side. and two in Third-st,
had been fired nearly simultaneously by
incondiaries. With the exception of one
in Third-st. all were quickly extinguished
with but tlihing loss. SO extensive a piece of
inceudiarism has not been known in this city
since the attempted hotcl-burning during the
war; The stables fired are situated in closely
built districts, and fires well underway there
would be difficult to control. 1t is believed
that the incendiaries were some of the bad
boys of the neighborliood, who take to crime
as naturally as to play.
