A Middle In Nova Scotia.

The disjointed Confederation Of British
North American colonies known as the New
Dominion appears to be greatly perplexed about
the action of Nova Scotia. That discontinued
province will neither go into the Confederation
nor annex itself to the United States, thus
attempting to maintain a kind of hybrid con-
dition. Attorney General Wilkins declared
in his late speech that Nova Scotia was about
to assume a position of practical indepen
dence, would take care of her own revenues
and so forth; but when questioned as to his
meaning by the Lieutenant Governor of the
Dominion he announced himself as 'truly
loyal to her Majesty's government, and de-
nounced the thought that he favored annexa-
ton to the United States-in truth, he de-
tested the idea. For all this IL looks as
though Nova Scotia was disposed to play the
same game that South Carolina did with
regard to our government in the days Of Cal
houn; but she is not advanced any further on
the road to success than was the Palmetto
State when Jackson put his foot down on her
aspirations and threatened to hang her leading
chieftain. There is no harm in the politicians
Of Nova Scotia keeping up the agitation, If they
only do II within the limits of the law, and,
TINS conducted, agitation may lead to annexa-
ton by very easy path. There Is plenty OF
discomfort with the new order of things In all
the British provinces to help II along. In fact

Stntc Of Affairs In Japan.

Our news from Japan does not warrant the
hope that trouble in that country will soon be
ended. The government is still in the hands
of the Mikado party, but the Mikado party has
already itself given birth to revolution. Not
finding the young Mikado quite to their mind
they have removed him and placed his uncle
on the throne. While such is going on in the
North the Southern princes are up against
the new Mikado and demand his resignation.
The ex-Tycoon seems to keep aloof from the
contest, and 1t will not be surprising II he
ultimately marches TO power on the ruins Of
both parties. The truth is, japan is in
condition almost identical with that
the old feudal system began to break
up and before the present States system had
yet taken practical shape. There was a
time when there was general confusion and
anarchy. Leaders had not yet appeared.
The only form that stood out with distinctness
was that of the Holy Father. But even he
was powerlcss in the circumstances. The
empire on which he leaned had crumbled
to pieces, and it was in vain that the sue
cessive occupants of the Papal chair tried to
bring order out of the universal chaos. 1t is
precisely so with Japan. In the person of the
Mia they have their Pope. In the person of
the Mikado they have their emperor. In the
person Of the Tycoon they have their mayor OF
the palace. The mayor of the palace has not
yet been successful, but we have no reason to
conclude that he will not come Off in the end
victorious. When the end comes-come when
it may-Japan will be the better for the
ordeal through which il shall have PASSED, 6

the whole British system there is in muddled
situation, and the unity of the New Dominion
is by no means established.
The new proposed reciprocity treaty, too,
seems to be in bad way. Mr.. Seward hangs
back from it. The seductions of the British
Minister, Mr.. Thornton, have not prevailed
with the Secretary of State, as, indeed, they
ought not, because we need no reciprocity
treaty with Canada. The expired treaty was
worthless to us, and its revival would be simply
stupid. If Nova Scotia, any other British
province, or the whole of them combined, want
admission to the United States, that is fair
question. There is no obstacle in the way.
The door stands wide open for them.

South German States which is SO well pre-
pared that officials will only have to change
their uniforms to make it complete; but he
may reasonably expect to balance that aggran-
dizement of Prussia by vigorous use of the
magnificent army of France in the Iberian
peninsula.
From any point Of view revolution in Spain
is ominous to the peace of the whole Cont
nent. 1t is 80 universally thought that there
needs but beginning to light up general
war, the present state of Europe is so COM
monty regarded as merely provisional, that
these very facts keep alive the elements that
tend towards change. Should the revolution
in Spain maintain a contest with the govern
ment, or should it displace the government
France, for one reason or another, cannot
keep out of the quarrel France once en-
gagged, Prussia will consolidate her power.
This will but heighten the rivalry of prestige
between the two nations, and with the war
fever on the contest will come surely and i'm
mediately. France cannot be worsted in
Spain, and she will come out in position to
use the whole military power of that country.
Italy must then fall into the same line, and the
nephew will pursue the policy of the uncle in
making war with foreign blood, giving spirit
only to his military masses with the purely
French part. Russia, on terms already fixed,
will rally to the assistance of Prussia, and
England is already weighing which side she
must take in such a contest and doubling if
she will be able to keep out altogether. Such
is the future that cannot be far dista mt. 1t is
only doubtful at what point the train will be
fred, and this revolt in Spain may as likely
apply the match as any other event.

The Hon. Jack Rogers and the Manhat
tan Ring.

The Hon. Jack Rogers and the NIanhat.
tan Ring.
The democracy Of this city are cut up into a
good many factions, cliques, rings and lotteries
but on the Presidential issue they may be re-
duced to two grand divisions. One of these
embraces the fat and sleek managers of the
Tammany ring and the 'bloated bondholders'
of the Manhattan ring-the four-in-hand, jew
elled, powdered and perfumed aristocracy OF
the party the other division embraces demo-
cratic masses of the school of which Brick
Pomeroy, the Hon. Jack Rogers and such are
be properly styled the red hot democracy.
We learn, too, from several well informed
sources that this aforesaid division of the per-
fumed aristocrats have about the same affec-
ton for the masses of the red hot democracy
as the old Bourbon nobility of France enter
tanned for the liberty, equality and frater-
nifty" boys Of the red hot Jacobin Club. For
instance, the managers of the organ Of the
Tammany ring Of Corporation spoilsmen and of
the Manhattan ring of ''bloated bondholders"
of Jack Rogers and Brick Pomeroy, while
actively laboring in various underhanded ways
to suppress them. Neither Pomeroy nor
Rogers can get hearing through the organ
of the "bloated bondholders," and the whole
coalition of these democratic aristocrats seem to
be resolved to silence or drive off every out
spoken red hot democra. or to put him down.
Now, in behalf Of fair play, we have to sub
NIT that this is o shabby business, and that
when q clique Of ''bloated bondholders"
undertake to put on the silly airs of Monsieur
Mantilini, what Mantilini would call the
''demnition total" on election day will be apt
to turn against them. Pomeroy, Rogers and
their colaborers of the red hot democracy stand
upon the platform and preach the principles
and dogmas of the National Democratic Con-
vention. They support Seymour as having
accepted that platform, with no evasions or
reservations. They cannot understand that
there is cheat in their platform or their ticket,
and 80 they fight their fight without mincing
matters in favor of bondholders, money lend
ers or democratic aristocrats of any sort. MOI

ignored or set aside, or refused hearing by
the managing rings of the city democracy. Mr..
Jack Rogers, for instance, in simply stating
his case before the democratic masses from
point to point, may, If he thinks fit to do so,
get up such hue and cry against these dainty,
kid gloved cliques of democratic managers as
to bring them to terms on very short notice.
He is good speaker and an out and Out
democrat, who speaks from the democratic
platform without lodging, and the democratic
masses are with him; and if these kid-gloved
masters of the ceremonies will not give him Q
fair show he has only to run as an Independent
out and out democrat for Congress to prove tc
the Tammany and Manhattan rings that wher
they presume to sell out the principles Of the
democracy for five-twenties, payable in gold
they are presuming too much.

RIOT IN GEoRaIA.-Our dispatches this
morning contain an account of riot in
Camilla, Ga, on Saturday, which appears
to have been an affair of sufficient import to
serve both parties in political capital until the
October elections. Two accounts of the affair
are given, one evidently from rebel
and the other just as evidently from radical
point of view. Our readers may have the
estimable privilege of taking their choice. The
gist OF the affair seems to be that radical
meeting was held in Camilla, at which a
drunken democrat made disturbance, fired a
pistol and started train of evils which re-
suited in heavy loss to the republicans, some
fifty to seventy-five Of them being killed or
wounded. The republican candidate for Con-
gress was dangerously shot. No democratic
casualties are noted.

The details of the evacuation of Fort HUI
malta by the Paraguayan forces, published in
this mornings HERALD, show that the allies
have still hard and long road to travel. In
stead Of capturing the whole garrison and thus
ending the war, as Marshal de Caxias sought
to do, they have merely gained some ground
at the expense in men and money of three
years war. And the Paraguayans carefully
fell back to as strong position along the Rio
Tebicuari, where the past campaigns must be
fought over. There will be this other STUN
bling stone in the path of the allies, that the
shore in front of the Tebicuari line belongs to
Bolivia, and the allies cannot work there as IN
the Chaco region of the Argentine Confederacy,
opposite Fort Humaita. Should they attempt
il Bolivia will take hand in the fight, and
probably draw in the west coast republics,
who protested so theoretically against the
allied policy on the River Plate. So
This contest, which has been waged 50
vigorously for the control Of the chief
South American watercourse, should be
brought to an end as soon as possible.

one Power should control said watercourse.
But that Power must be republican; nothing
else can be allowed to govern the destiny of
South America. All Instructions to free trade
must be done away with, as well as the Power
or Powers that will seek to raise the like. No
such state of things as has prevailed under
petty European governments, where tolls and
taxes were levied at almost every city gate,
and which still holds in Mexico, can be longer
tolerated on this Continent. Paraguay made
treaties with all the leading maritime nations
securing the free navigation of the Paraguay
river; and the sole reason why she took up
arms in this contest was to prevent Uruguay,
her weakest sister, from falling prey to
Brazil, the latter on frivolous pretexts having
sought to overrun Uruguay and thus get con-
troll of the River Plates mouth. The same
policy that governed the United States in our
purchase Of the territory at the mouth of the
Mississippi, and that banded our Western and
Northwestern States together to prevent the
Southern confederacy from controlling said
mouth, will eventually bring the South Ameri-
can republics to the rescue Of Paraguay.
