The above we quote from The Baltimore Sun.
The writer is in the confidence of President
Johnson, and we presume that, in this case, he
speaks by authority.
There can be no "third-party movement
now. Every such attempt is an intrigue.
There is no issue that is not represented either
by the Democracy or the Republicans. The
only two men, in fact, who seem anxious to
stand upon third-party platform are Gen.
Cary of Ohio and Miles 0'Reilly. AS Gen
Cary has devoted himself to the wOrkingmen's
interest and Miles O'Relly is singing songs
about the apple-tree, it is hardly worth while
to hold Convention to crafty these two dis
gushed people. No, gentlemen the issues are
made up the lines are forming, the battle is
about to open. You must stand upon either one
side or the other

When the question of ratifying the Treaty
remained undecided by the Senate, we did our
best to defeat ratification. Beaten there, we
have not felt justified in urging the House to
refuse the requisite appropriation. We believe
it was advisable to pay the money. Having
received it, we wish Russia would consent to
receive back the territory as a free gift from
this Republic. We should deem it very
happy radiance.
Of course, we readily agree that there arc
fish swimming around the isles that are in
cluded in our hard bargain. There is timber
on the Yankou and its southern tributaries.
There may be gold and silver-anything you
please--under the Alaskan SHOWS and MOSES.
But they who catch the fish. or cut the timber,
or dig the gold, will keep it for their trouble,
as is right They will dearly earn all they get.

which correspond to our northern ones, and it
is not improbable that Northern Australia may
be as unfavorable for sustaining civilized
people as the warm countries are on this side
of the Equator.
There are many establishments i'll Australia
for working up coarse materials, such as wood,
stone, and iron; but manufactures are few,
and most of the clothing of the people comes
from England, even if made of their own
wool. 1t has always been the fixed policy OF
England to discourage, in every possible way,
the manufacture Of goods in her colonies. Her
object has been to receive from them great
variety of coarse articles, to have her laboring
people add from 10 to so times to their value,
by the help of machinery which, with various
other goods, are sent to the colonies, where
they are to be paid for in more raw materials,
and particularly in breadstuffs.
Mining is carried on by only small part of
the people, and upon sheep and grain their
prosperity has depended. An occupation re-
During so little skill and intellect as the care
of sheep in a pastoral country, and where 1T is
unsupported by variety Of other pursuits,
never can establish prosperity; for when
straitened times come the only remedy is to
increase the focks. But though this may
bring relief to few who out of the vastness
of their possessions save something, to the
many only disaster will follow The sheep
business in Australia has reached this point
reached it because there is no home market
for wool to furnish employment when wide
spread casualties in other interests ensue, and
to furnish a balance for all the various in
dustries; and now, being overdOne, the sheep are
slaughtered for their pelts and tallow. This
is done upon such a large scale that single
establishments have each boiled down as
many as 10000 head. The profit in
this boiling down business is estimated by
some at six cents a head, but others think
this too low, for the value of the pelt must be
added, which is 10 cents more. Some complain
because the headquarters are not saved and
cured by smoking and dryng-either to be
used for home consumption or to be shipped
abroad. This might be done, because the hind
quarters of SOuthdown mutton are imported
from England and sold in Australia-an aston
ishng circumstance This is an astonishing state
ment; but nothing should be astonishing in a
country which is the subject of another in
trade. and which learns to be dependent We
ourselves have seen grievOus days for the
same reason and even now are only beginning
TO be emancpatcd; but, in proportion to the
population, Australia exports eight, and imports
ten times, more than the United States.

AUSTRALIA.


The arrival Of the Panama mail yesterday
nut us in possession of late Intelligence from
Austraia-much later than anything which has
reached us by the way Of England, whence,
until recently we received all our news from
the Western and Southern Pacific Every day,
in fact, multiplies the evidences that New ork
is destined to be the great entrepot OF lntell-
gence and commerce for the whole world aud
as our facilities for communication with the
opposite shores of this continent are increased,
the Importance of our position as an interna-
tional center will be rapidly augmented. 1t is
evident, too, that with this growth our rela-
tons with Australia, the young America of the
South Pacific, with its yet undeveloped wealth,
its active population, and its thousand island
dependencies, must become daily more intimate
and more interesting. 1t has prospcred with
apidity to which no country but the United
States affords parallel. 1t has an area nearly
half as large as our own, population Gnclud-
ing w-Zealand) of nearly million and
half, and climate corresponding to that of
our Southern States and the West India islands.
For the most part the settlements lie along the
southern, eastern, southeastern, and western
coasts, and they are not dssmiar to such as
the Revolution. Sidney has about $4,000 nhab-
itants, Adelaide $1,000, while Melbourne, having
not far from 100000, has lad growth, since
1910, only equaed by Chicago. Some of the
newspapers printed in these cities resemble in
size and appearance the best New-York daies.
Sheep growing has been leading pursuit of
the cOlonist since the first settlement by
whites. The Government has had the credit
of being liberal in disposing of lands, but large
quantities have fallen into the hands of spec
ulators, many of them belonging to noble En-
glish families, while other large bodies are con-
trOlled, and perhaps owned, by gentlemen farm
eTs, who use them as sheep walks or runs
where immense flocks have been kept, to the ex-
clusion of other branches of industry. This has
prevented the establishment of such settlements
rs have developed our own Western States. 1t is
difficult to decide upon the value of n country
for agriculture and for sustaininga large pOpu-
ation, where special pursuits become monopO-
lies. Nothing but the small farm system, and in
n free country, will develop all the latent quail
ties in the soil. 1t is alleged that Australia is
subject to terrible drouths, and it is stated
that the river bottoms are sometimes covered
with water from an unknown source, and with
out previous warning, from 30 to 100 feet deep.
Still, it is n country Astounding in every kind of
stock; fruit and vines flourish and wheat has
been produced in enormous quantities. This
has reference only to the more southern regions,

TIE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATON

The determination of President johnson to
thwart the operation of the laws as far as pos
siblc, was never more signally manifested than
i'm his recent Proclamation, under the Omni-
"bus Reconstruction Law" Refusing to recOg
nze the Governor of North Carolina, except as
"W. w. Holden, who therein writes himself
Governor of the State of North Carolina" he
also refuses to certify as to Florida, because
" the said act seems to be prospective" and be-
cause the Florida ratification was received at
" the Department of State on the 10th of June,
"prior to the passage of the act of Congress
referred to-
"The act of Congress referred to- is entitled
" An act to admit the States of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama,
"and Florida to representation in Congress"
and, as quoted in the Proclamation itself, " it is
"made the duty of the President, within ten
&" days after receiving official information of the
ratification by the Legislature Of either Of said
States of proposed amendment &c, to issue
" a proclamation announcing that fact" That
duty is present, not prospective; and the assump-
ton that it " seems to be prospective is but a
bubble.
The President states also that the Florida
ratification was received on the 10th of june"
and that the law passed on the 18th OfJune,"
showing that the ten days had not expired when
the bill became law, and binding upon him.
But let us look little further into the dates.
The act of Congress referred to-" having
passed both branches of Congress- was presented
to the President by Mr. Holman, of the House
Committee on Enrolled Bills, Saturday, June
10. The President kept it to the furthest limit
of time allowed by the Constitution ten secu
lar days and two Sundays, and returned it
with his veto, Thursday, June 25, twelve days
after it had been presented to him; when it
was promptly repassed in both Houses of Con-
gress over his veto. While he was thHs keep
ing it, he received the Florida ratification; and,
having delayed its becoming law to the
latest hour possible, he refuses to recognize or
proclaim that ratification, in spite of the explicit
language of the act. And this he calls fulfilling
his oath that he will take care that the laws
abe faithfully executed

Manners are bad enough in Congress-; but
other legislative bodies are given to hard Ian
guage at times, and it seems even that all the
peers in the British House of Lords are not
Lord Chesterields. In the course of debate
on the Boundary bill the other night, there
was so much bandyng of vituperative names,
such n resoute repetition of what noble lord
delicatey stigmatized as "persevering misrep-
reservations" that Lord Derby felt obliged

We are glad to notice that in Philadelphia
the Republican party has concluded to with
draw Mr. Mann and Mr.. Hazlehurst, the rival
nominees for the Office of District-Attorney,
and to nominate a candidate who will be
acceptable to all members of the organization.
This is wise There is no need of breaking
up upon local issues, or dividing 'front.' when
we have so many higher questions to be
solved The course of Mr. Mann and Mr.
Hazehurst in declining is worthy of all COM
mendation, and shows a spirit of true patri-
otism. The Republican party should unite
upon some popular, good man, like Mr. Daniel
Dougherty, Mr.. Acknowledgement Brewster
Judge Allison, Mr.. Clayton, or one of twenty
other gentlemen who might be named.

the accident occurred in broad day, there was,
