Progress OF Civilization at acknowledgements
of Another Imdiun Wnr.

According to despatch from San Francisco
published in the HERALD yesterday, our new
possessions of Alaska have started on tho
march Of civilization. A billiard saloon, res
taurants ana pawnbroker's shop had been
opened. Besides, number Of burglarics were
reported aud "brutal fights are not untre-
quenL" This is the commencem mt of civiliza-
ton In those high ATTITUDES of our late pur-
chase and among the Esquimaux and Russian,
there. However, there will DO an improve
ment upon this state of things in time. Cali
fornia was pretty rough place in the early
days OF its settlement, but has become an i'm
portant State, with highly civilized commit
nifty. We learn that number of buildings
were being erected at Siika and that a gov
eminent engineer had designed plan Of city
improvements. There is another sign or con-
comitant of the march of civilization In Alaska.
The Indians are disconnected and begin TO
exhibit hostility. They do not like interference
with their customs Many strange indians
continued to appear and to disappear In rather
a mysterious manner, and some were making
savage threats against the whites. These may
be symptoms OF another Indian war; for such
wars appear TO be inevitable whenever our
people come In close contact with Indian
tribes The governm mt should do everything
to prevent such catastrophe. Our officials in
Alaska should restrain tho bad white men who
often bring on such trouble, and should treat
the Indians with kindness and firmness COM
bined An Indian war in that 10y region would
be difficult, painful and costly. Above ALL let
the government keep a sharp eye on those fell
lows who want army contracts aud who thrive
! amidst wars and exctements.

Russia Taking n Look Into China.

AAusssH Xakln8 n LOOK into Chinas
The Chinese officers in command on the
frontier Of the empire which adjoins the
Russian territory have ordered military move
ments, the execution of which is regarded
by the Cabinet In ST. Petersburg as "warlike
and offensive" and an imperial protest has
been forwarded in consequence to Pekin. The
trouble has originated, most probably. in some
difficulty relative to tho working of the newly
discovered gold mines on the banks of the
Amoor river and tho repressive measures
exercised by the Russian soldiers with the
view of preventing tumult and keeping of
unlicensed adventurers from the "diggings."
When Russia announces, however, that the
Chinese have become warlike and offensive
and that she is about to protest, 1t means
exactly that the Gear Is determined to take Q
sharp look into the internal arrangements Of
the neighboring empire and endeavor to
ascertain, If possible from what source all these
next door rebellions crop up-what Is the exact
nature, extent and direction of the Greek Triad
the Chinese Fenians) Society, what is the
character Of the Burlingame mission, how 1t
is proposed to honor and decorate Mr..
Burlingame If he is successful, and other
matters of o like nature. In fact, Russia is
about to assume tho role Of prominent
military surgeon, and, being on the spot, COM
mence the treatment of the Case Of the second
"Sick Man" Of the East before the more
distant Western doctors can arrive at his
bedside.
The Gar has fine representation already
in Pekin, but as it obtained entrance in the
garb Of religion its members ara forced to
wear the ecclesiastical cloak still, and must
consequently be conten. TO offer ghostly
advice and spiritual consolation solely, and
not look too much after worldly profits. This
system does not "pay." SO Russia has deter
mined to enter China as q lay practitioner also,
and take keen survey both Of the condition
of the patient and the amount and value of
his testamentary effects. Ii obliged to resort
to the famous modern counter-irritlnt remedy
of war the present "warlike and offensive"
movements of the Chinese will afford as favor
able excuse for that course of treatment as
any, OF those presented in Indil, Algeria,
Turkey, Kaffreland and other places.

this subsequent amendment as proposed
in each Of the bills Of Mr.. Sumner
and Mr. Bingham, because II the first amend
ment under consideration has been duly rat
lied the second has been, and the latte can
not be ignored without forfsiting the other.
The issue, then, before Congress is simply this
whether they will leave the abolition Of sla-

claiming the amendment which fixes in the
constitution the regulation Of the right Of

Lord Stanley on tho Condition Of Ireland

Lord Stanley on tho Condition of Ireland.
Ga the evening Of January % a ministerial
dinner was given at Bristol Lord Stanley, it
appears from telegram Of yesterday, was
present and made a speech on tho occasion.
Ireland, Of course, came in for a prominent
share of attention. In the opinion Of Lord
Stanley Ireland was never more prosperous
nor was she ever more disconnected. Our
cable despatch did not inform us how bis
lordship reconciled these apparent opposites.
We have little doubt that his lordship
made some attempt to do 50. Lord Stanley il
OF opinion that Church and land reforms must
be left over 10 the new Parliament, which, IL II
does not come INTO existence earlier, must come
into existence in 1869. or course the Scotch
and Irish Reform bills will be passed this year.
Lord Stanley, In making these remarks Ia
regard to Ireland showed that no thoroughly
understood the situation. II is glory enough
for the present Ministry to broaden the area Of
representation over tho three kingdoms. A
reformed Parliament, as Lord Stanley well
knows, will be In better position to deal with
Irish questions than any Parliament which has
yet existed. The early redress of Irish griev.
ances Is as certain as IL is necessary.

Licensing Physicians and Ap0thecuries.
There has been . proposition made in the
present Legislature to establish State board
for the examination of candidates for the
degree Of medicine, and now the Constitutional
Convention has the same subject before Il II
is subject that is hardly in the sphere Of the
Convention, but there can scarcely be two
opinions among thinking men as to the neces-
sity OF some legislative enactment defining the
limit to which tho public may be at the mercy
of pretenders in medicine and providing for
the safety OF the people from the incompetency
OF apothecaries. We.have constantly to report
cases of death resulting from one medicine
having been delivered by tho apothecary
where another had been ordered by the
physician. Sometimes this is mere careless
ness, against which no laws can secure us !;
but oftener this bad consequence flows from
the fact that drugs are dispensed by men
ignoran. OF their nature. II Is highly probable
that q law requiring every person engaged in
dispensing drugs for medicinal use TO be
medically educated would pretty amply pro-
vide against this evil. Such law we should

Revival Of Railway Jobs mt Albany.
"Put not thy trust in princes" must nova
days be translated, Put not thy trust in
politicians" Notwithstanding all promises to
the contrary, onr legislators at Albany have
opened the sluice-gates to food of railway
jobs. Day before yesterday number of rail
road bills were introduced in the Legislature.
The Senate bill for "the Peoples Railroad" to
run over the routes of the Third and Fourth
Avenue Railroads, was presented, together
with bill for the incorporation of the Twenty
third street and Fulton Ferry Railroad Com
pany. Bills were also introduced to provide
chat it shall be unlawful for the Third Avenue
Railroad Company to charge moro than five
cents for q single fare for any distance on the
entire road within the limits Of the city; and
also 10 provide for the enforcement Of similar
reduction Of fare on the Second Avenue Road.
A bill was introduced in the House to secure
the rights of passengers, which have so long
been disrogarded on all our city railways.
The Manhattan Underground Railway measure
was revived. Notice was given Of bill for
crosstown railway, running from Tenth street
ferry to the Jersey City ferry at Cortlandt
street. II is said, moreover, that the New York
Central Railroad Company is about to be
indicted by the Grand Jury, ostensoly for the
purpose of abating the nuisance of obstructing
travel at the Broadway street crossing in
Albany, but in reality for the purpose Of
removing the depot from the Dclavan House
10 The vicinity Of the bridge crossing the
Hudson Some Of these newly proposed
measures are avowedly steps towards reform
too sorely needed in our railway system. But
there is too much reason to suspect that even
these measures are brought forward by parties
who confidently expect to be "bought of" by
various railway companies, and jobbery is but
too legibly inscribed on almost all the railway
bills presented to the Legislature on Thursday.

Tho New House Hill ON tho Rights o.

Tho New House Hill ON tho Rights Of
Nataralized Citizens.
The bill just agreed upon by the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, and which
will soon be reported by Mr.. Banks, Is
very fair one and appears to cover the
question pretty closely. II defines accurately
enough when q naturalized citizen ceases to
have any right OF protection. For example,
when he violates the law of any foreign State
within the jurisdiction Of that State, or In case
Of desertlon from "actual" service in the army
or navy OF his native State, Or il he removes his
domicile from the United States 10 the country
OF his birth and abides there for one year.
The President Is empowered, in case any
naturalized citizen OF the United States has
been arrested and Is detained by any foreign
government in contravention OF the intent and
purposes Of this act upon the allegation that
naturalization In the United States does not
operate to dissolve his allegiance to his native
sovereign-that any native born citizen shall
have been arrested and detained without
charge OF crime committed within the jurisdic-
ton Of such State, and whose release shall
have been professionally delayed or refused
to order the arrest and to detain in custody
any subject Of such foreign government who
may be found within the jurisdiction Of the
United States, by way Of indemnity or reprisaL.
It is probable that this latter clause will not
become law; but 1t is not bad idea, though
somewhat savoring Of the old feudal times.
STILL such power being placed in the hands of
the President foreign nations would be likely
to deal with little less arrogance in their
transactions with citizens of this republic. It
is eminenty just and becoming the dignity Of
this government that 1t shall, as this law pro-
vides, use its influence and authority to secure
the recognition by other governments of the
principles Of public law which have been
insisted upon and maintained by the govern
ment Of the United States in regard to the
rights of naturalized citizens. In other words,
that American law and not that of any foreign
State shall interpret sa American citizens
rights. This is precisely what the public
voice, which is now being expressed in all
parts of the country at various mass meet
ings evidently demands. Such law strictly
administered would settle the whole question.
