Stewards over-zealous efforts for a treaty OF
peace There is in the dominant republican
party, including both houses of Congress, a
strong desire to give the deathblow to the
democratic party by winning over what is called
"the Irish vote'-say half million of voters.
They can be secured on the direct issue of war
with England. Next, there is large body of
men among the masses of the people with
whom reputation as consequence of war
with England has ceased to be a drawback in
view of the extinction of our burden of taxes.
In short, if the fixed wealth of the Union is
with Grant, the movable vote of the Union is
with Sumner by an overwhelming majority.
Accordingly, while exchanging congratulations
OF peace with England on the position of Gen
eral Grants administration, it will be well for
Mr.. Motley to remember that Congress is the
war-making power; that one branch of it is in
reality the treaty-making power, and that the
managing republicans in both branches are
moving for ''the Irish vote"

A War Cloud in the East.

The Emperor Napoleon Ill. Of France Is in
difficulty with the Emperor TOung Chi Of
China. It is not merely difficulty, but
serious matter, which may bring about war
between the representative Of the youngest of
the royal dynasties Of Europe and the youthful
imperialist who wears the most ancient crown
in Asia. A short time since the Count dc
Rochechouart, French Ambassador in Pekin,
was insulted by personal castigation, being
slapped in the face by Chinese Mandarin Of
high rank in the palace, and, we believe, in the
very presence of the Chinese monarch. The
Frenchman struck his flag Immediately
and reported the case to Paris. From
Hong Kong we are informed, under
date of the 1lth of May, that the
French and other ''envoys" serving there
had notified the Chinese government that the
Emperor would be allowed only three days
from that date to make an apology to
France. We are not told, however, what the
consequences will be should he refuse Pro-
badly war. Europe is jealous of the rapid ad-
vance of American interests in China, I'M
easy as to the issue of our diplomacy in Peisin.
as well as heavy loser by the revolution
which has taken place in the current of trade

PUSHING TIE NIGGER.-In Washington they
have passed an ordinance compelling the
keepers Of theatres TO admit colored people to
any part of the house. Perhaps there are not
enough of these in Washington who can pay
for good places TO quite crowd all the white
people OUT but il there should be a jam at
any time the darkics must apparently have the
preference, as we suppose there is no statute
directly compelling the admission of white
men. All the Legislation in favor Of the negro
in Washington is likely to make that an
exceptionally agreeable city tor gentlemen
and ladies of color. We should not be
astonished If this finally led to the set
Element there of all the wealthy darlsies in the
country and Of such an influx Of others as to
crowd out white shopkeepers, restaurateurs

is no need for anybody there but darkies,

place to themselves it might be better for the

Life Peerases in Great Britain.

A cable despatch informs US that Earl Rus
| sells Life Peerages bill has been passed in
committee Of the Lords. The bill has been
modified but slightly in passing through the
House. If it pass into law it will give power
to the Crown to create, on the recOmmenda-
tion of the Prime Minister for the time being,
peers for life from the ranks of literature, law,
ceeding two annually. AS the bill has now
received the recommendation of the Lords we
have no doubt that when it comes down to the
Commons it will be heartily endorsed. On
this side the water such bill excites no
general interest. To those, however, who are
watching the progress of events and the
growth of reform all over the world such a
change as that which the bill implies in the
old constitution of England is at once inte-
resting and instructive. 1t reveals the growing
power of the people, the changes which have
been brought about in modern times and
among all civilized peoples mainly by
means of the press but largely also
through the agency of steam and electricity.
The old privileged orders are breaking down
all over Europe. In arstocratic England they
feel themselves pushed into corner to main
tain the dignity of their order, to prevent the
House of Lords, in fact, from sinking into con-
tempt The Chamber of Peers has resolved
to strengthen itself by adopting from time to
time as many sons as shall be necessary from
the ranks of the democracy. So far as the
Lords themselves are concerned it is wise
and wel-considered policy. So far as the out
side world is concerned it is an unmistakable
proof of the growing power of the people. We
cannot say that the world is yet sick Of mon
archy or that titled and privileged classes are
universally out of favor; but it may now be
said that the wearers of crowns and coronets
must everywhere consult the feelings and
humor the wishes of the once despised de-
mocracy. AS the world marches on towards
the great future it becomes daily more mani
fest that the governing power has its source
not at the summit but at the basis of the
social pyramid.

Woman and Her Rights,

There seems to be a general stir among the
weaker sex, and all sorts of propositions are
brought forward by the leading agitators
among the women kind for bringing them to
the front in the 'world's broad,f field of battle.
One agitates the vote-the-w -women-a-ga
question, another claims the ballot, few
lead in voting on Church questions and ruling
the vestry, some want to assimilate with the
stronger sex in dress, others exclaim against
having anything to do with the ''unwhispor-
ables," SOrosis aims for woman's parlia-
ment, and the Rev. Mrs. Van Cott aspires to
show the way to salvation. We suspect the
truth of the matter is that these women have
tried 80 long to hammer into their husbands
heads the idea that they have the superior
Judgment in household matters that they have
come really to believe that they are superior
in all matters of opinion and business to the
sterner sex.
So long as these unsexed agitators cOnfne
their labors to the columns of some weakly
newspaper or the vaporings of an unsexed
club they do their little harm to no one but
themselves; and even the assemblage of
a parcel of scolds in q woman's par
Lament will have no other result than
to exhibit their want of practical knowledge
and their unGtness for the harsher labors Of
men, In her social duties, it is the natural
mission of woman to unfold to the dawning
mind Of childhood the loving truths of onr
Christian belief; but when she assumes to
thunder from the pulpit she only makes
lamentable imitation of the Boanerges of the
Church and weakens instead of enforces the
truths she would present. The true mission
of woman lies in the family, where her very
weakness becomes strength, her beauty an
attraction to good her soft and winning ways
an enticement to nobleness of purpose and
effort, and her loving sympathies solace for
the mischances of the strife in the outer world.
It is when woman abandOns these her strong
holds and unsexes herself to battle as o man
that she indcts a loss upon society and de-
prives man Of his most powerful stimulus.
We can conceive no worse form Of social Or
ganization than one where unsexed woman
would descend from the high level upon which
Christianity and modern civilization have
placed her and degrade her finer sympathies
by placing them upon level with the coarser
nature which fits man for the battle Of the
world

THE North Dutch CHURCH is to go for
the same reason that was fatal to the City
Hospital and Columbia College and all the

that it is good speculation to sell it and

associate, now the Post Office, in being adapted

THE VIOERoY AND THE SURz CANAL.-If
the Suez canal shall prove success, as
it now promises to do, Egypt will become q
great pathway Of commerce. Egypt of course
will be immensely enriched thereby. The
viceroy of that country likes riches quite as
much as he likes power. If he can obtain the
consent of the European Powers to proclaim
the canal ''neutral for all nations and for
all time" his position is made more secure,
he thinks, than it could be made by any fir
man of the Sultan. The Viceroy ought to
know that all such schemes are vain. The
European Powers are no longer bound by
Holy Alliance treaties. When the great dis
ruption of the Turkish empire shall take place,
Egypt will become the portion of that Power
which shall be strong enough to take and hold it.
The presumption now is that that Power will
bc England. His neutrality scheme is but a
cunning device to perpetuate the power of his
family 1t can have no good result.

TAXATION IN GERMANY.-Complaints deep,
If not loud, are heard in many parts Of Ger
many owing to the increase and proposed in
crease in the taxes. II costs something to sup
port powerful military organization, and,
however nattering it may be to the vanity of a
people to know that in time of peace they are
prepared for war, it is most aggravating to be
compelled to hand over the necessary funds
for the support Of an unnecessary and cxpen-
sive adornment. Taxes, nothing but taxes, Is
now the rule in Germany. Taxes on pctro-
leum, taxes on beer. taxes on income, taxes
on everything on which tax can be imposed,
and all these taxes to support an immense
army to do nothing.

Bad Tas,e-GenornI Lees ChromicIers.

Every day or so telegraph items or para
graphs are spread over the country through
the press about General X. +. Lee-what he
is doing, where he goes, what he says, what
people say to him, and so forth. Now, what
does all this amount to? What purpose does
it serve? Admitting that this gentleman is a
representative of the South, and very
sensible and prudent one, he occupies no
public position, and his movements can have
no public interest. II is, in fact, a sort of
notoriety and hero worship that must be as
distasteful TO General Lee himself as it is
foolish and out Of place. He is respected in
the North as we'll as in the South for his high
character and his efforts to reunite the two
sections Of the country in harmony; but the
war is not so far back in history as to admit
OF making hero OF prominent leader of the
rebellion Let the memory of that terrible
war be obliterated as much as possible, so far
as sectional feeling is concerned, and let the
brave men on both sides forget their past hos
tility; but let us avoid anything that may
revive unpleasant or illiberal reflections.
General Lee is too intelligent and modest to
desire the parade OF bis name and movements
constantly before the public. II is in bad
taste, and likely to do more harm than good in
the present state Of the public mind. Will his
indefatigable chroniclers take the hint?

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH CANADA
THE CHAMBER OF CoMMERoE.- respect
able fossil institution, the Chamber of Com
merce has been again ventating its ideas
about reciprocity in our commercial relations
with Canada Now, this idea of reciprocity is
all very well, but heretofore the reciprocity
with Canada under expired treaties was pretty
much on one side. Hence the refusal on the
part of the United States to renew these
treaties The Kanucks had the best of it,
What we want is the st. Lawrence river
through its whole length, connections and
mouth, with the land on both sides. II is one
of the most necessary outlets of the trade Of
our vast and populous interior and ought not
to be in the possession of foreigners. That is
the only reciprocity which will satisfy the
American people. If we could settle the
Alabama claims on such basis of concession
we might accept it and grant besides liberal
reciprocity treaty for the territory beyond.
If the Chamber of Commerce would lift itself
up to the magnitude of the question in this
point of view it would show more sense and
an appreciation of the interests and future Of
our great and rapidly progressive country.
