Postal Convention Betweea the United
Statea and Great Britain.


The treaty regulating and reducing the mail
service between this country and Great
Britain, duly signed in June last by special
commissioner on the part Of the United States,
Mr. John A. Kasson, and the Duke Of Montrose,
Postmaster General OF the United Kingdom,
comes into operation this day; but the govern
ment of England has already given notice,
even before The treaty begins to work. that its
operations shall cease on the last day Of 1868.
The third article of this treaty provides that
half-ounce letters shall be conveyed across the
Atlantic for twelve cents, American currency,
or sixpence British just half the present rates.
But it appears that there is reason found in the
second article for the British government to
desire the treaty set aside, as it has a right to
do after years notice, aud that reason
undoubtedly exists in consideration OF the
interests of the Cunard line. The article in
question reads thus SO Each Office shall make
it's own arrangements for the despatch Of mails
to the other office by we'll appointed ships,
sailing on stated days, and shall, at its own
cost, remunerate the owners Of such ships for
the conveyance Of tho mails" The British
government wants to have q monopoly Of the
mall-carrying al both sides of the Atlantic,
and It wants TO decide what lines shall carry
the mail and what shall not Under present
regulations the British government sends Its
mails by three lines a week: the Cunard, the
Inman and the Bremen but II has recently
subsidized the Cunarders in the amount OF
ESQ 900 per annum. Our government employs
four lines; that is to say, we use the Hamburg
rs well as the three other lines. Now our
government is making the transatlantic busi-
ness pay by sending the mail matter like
express parcels at so much per ounce, but 1t
gives no subsidy Ut oil. &0Ald advise,
therefore, that a good American line of
steamers should be started at once, offering
superior advantages to passengers, and
moderate rates of freight, and we would urge
| the government to give such Inca hand
| some subsidy for carrying the mails. There
| is time enough within the present year
before the postal treaty expires to establish
| such line and test its qualifications. This
would be IN entering wedge in tho carrying
| trade, and, II made permanency, would COM
pete substantially against the monopoly sought
to be obtained for the Cunard line.
Our commissioner, Mr. Kasson, evidently
made q mistake when he executed this treaty
with the British government instead OF with the
directors Of the Cunard line; for 1t 10 pretty
clear now that they we're really the "parties Of
| the first part" in the transaction. However,
we have q remedy II We only PIT our enterprise
and capital we'll to work, and stir up the
| government at the same time TO liberalty and
good policy by aiding and sustaining an
| American Ii no OF mail steamships.

Tho Revolution In Pern.

The insane rebellion gotten up by General
Canseco in the south Of Peru, and It's counter
part in the north, under the lead Of Colonel
Balta, are still the most important features Of
the South American news. The only import
ant change now reported in the state Of affairs
there is the capture Of Cajamarca by Balta
and the espoussl Of tho revolutionary cause
by the provinces Of Huancayo, Jauia
and Tarma, situated directly east Of
Lima, but on the opposite slope Of the Andes.
Our special correspondent, who visited the
headquarters Of both contestants at Arequipa,
reports that the rebels in that city lack all the
means to wage successful war, and the only
serious obstacle to the entry Of President
Prados army is the massive solidity Of the
walls and buildings Of the besieged CITY. AS
is usual in South American revolutions, the In
surgent party forcibly take what they need
from resident foreigners In this case the Eng
lish and French merchants are the sufferers;
and this may lead to fresh batch Of claims
on the Peruvian treasury, and possibly to an
alliance Of England and France with Spain
against Peru, and also her allies, as natural
consequence. AT the same time Peru is threat
ened with trouble from the Brazilian side. But
with oalmness and determination that augur
success, the government OF President Prado is
taking measures to repel aggression from even
that quarter. The government Of Bolivia is
also reported to be gaining in favor at the
Court of Brazil, and it Seems that the year 1867
will close with the allied republics Of the
Pacific prey to the schemes which, at
the beginning of the year, they were accused
Of abetting for the purpose Of breaking up the
triple alliance against Paraguay. The only
results that all friends Of South America have
to fear are the claims that European Powers
may be enabled to trump up to force Peru to
cede or mortgage her guano wealth. second
seizure Of the Chncha islands will not be
attempted without at least pretext.

Who was the first Puritani Satan. On.
doubtedly that illustrious malignant was the
real original historically, as be is metaphysi-
DAILY the true type of the Puritanic character.
he set up the banner Of revolt il heaven be.
cause Of his puirlss notions. Things were not
done as he thought they should be, and he deter
mined to force his principles on the majority
just as if be had been In Massachusetts--he
"agitated" and got himself thrown out the
window. His name signifies the Adversary.
That is Puritanism In a word. Purltans are
the adversaries wherever they are. Put them
down in a monarchy, and they are the adver-
saries of monarchical principles; In republic,
and they equally oppose republcanism. Put
them in church, and they quarrel with all the
points of doctrine one by one till they get
religion worked down to Presbyterianism. As
sent then, that they shall all be Presbyterians
if they choose, and In ifty years 1t turns out
that they are such common adversaries Of even
that chosen worship that they have split 1t
into fifty strips Of shadow, and their piety and
doctrine seem In theology like the trituratons
Of a homeopathic apothecary. Satan's quar-
rel with God was about Adam. He had no
doubt very good thing of it before that but
he hated Adam from the moment Of his crea-
ton, and that hatred to our ancestor, which
the bad tempered scoundrel expressed in
offensive terms, brought on tho difficulty. He
was, according to the report made by dis
tinguished Puritan, tumbled from the crystal
batlements Of heaven at point directly over
hell, and fell into the fire. AS soon as he re-
covered from his injuries Che had bottle Of
Wolcott's Pain Paint in his pockeD he went TO
Paradise and began his operations against
Adam as the original cause of his troubles,
determined that the good old gardener
should never have comfort or ease
on earth. Could there be more abso-
Lutte Puritanism? In the history that
recounts the miseries Of Job we see the FIRST
Puritan following out the same plan-wretched,
morbid, quarrelling, complaining, soreheaded,
because there was some one happy; going to
and fro in the earth and travelling up and
down in it-not to enjoy the sunshine and the
scenery, not to gaze with wonder on Mont
Blanc or dine at V6four's, as any respecta-
BILE fellow would if he had the chance
but simply to secrete black bile and vent
spleen and kick up world Of trouble because
poor old job was an honest man and happy,
fearing God, aud having in him plenty Of the
true clay Of Adam Even to this day "the old
