are, as yet, neither satisfied nor in fair way
OF settlement. Our experience of great ex
plosions of impetuous frendliness should
make us little cautious how we attach to
them any other value than belongs to the
transient glow and qualification of generous,
hIospitable feelings. The Burlingame blaze,
IKE SO many others, was too much of the tar
barrel order TO serve any other purpose than
mere festive illumination.
The text of Mr. Burlingames treaty is all
that is needed to show that he had no policy;
no errand of n business-like character; no
objects to accomplish which were capable of
being embodied in specific stipulations be
tween China and the Western nations. The
treaty provides for the opening of no new
ports, for the removal of no distractions to
trade, for nothing to which our merchants
engaged in the China trade attach any i'm
portance. 1t is all the same to them whether
the treaty is ratified or rejected. One of its
articles stipulates that China may send con-
suls to this country right which she had
before, and which there is no probability
that she will ever exercise. Another article
stipulate' that the educational institutions of
each country shall be open to the inha-
bitants of the other Another stipulates
that the inhabitants of neither country shall
be forcibly abducted and taken away-a purely
imaginary danger as regards citizens of the
United States; and if the coolies are in dan
ger OF being kidnapped, Congress had
already, long before the treaty, passed a
law to meet this case The treaty requires
nothing of us on that head which we had not
already voluntarily given, and it is ridiculous
for the Chinese Government to bind itself by
treaty to protect its own subjects. One arti-
Gle of the treaty stipulates for the protection
of all religious persuasons in the Chinese
empires but as the treaty of 1853 protects all
Christians in China, the people of the United
States can feel little interest in Mr.. Burlin-
games supplementary stipulation. His treaty
makes this toleration reciprocal-as if any
treaty were necessary for securing religious
freedom in the United States! The whole
treaty is made up of stipulations equally
stupid or nugatory. 1t permits schools by
foreigners in all the parts of China where
foreigners are permitted to reside-a prvi-
lege which has been conceded and exercised
for the last twenty years. There is nothing
in the whole draft on which practical man
can lay his finger and say that it is of the
slightest consequence; much less that it
iustities all the jubilant parade which Mr..
Burlingame has made of his wandering en-
bassy.

THE COWARDLY COUNSELS OF THE
NEW YORK TIMES
From the n. Y. Sun.

From the NJ Y. SUM-
The Times urges that we must not recog-
nize the Cubans as belligerents for fear that
Spain may make war on the United States
Here is its reasoning:--
'sThe Cortes will assemble at Madrid on the 18th
of September. Whoever is chosen King, and some
probably will be, his first act probably would be
declaration of war; if any decent preleXt offered.
A concession OF beigerent rights to the CubanS
would furnish such preteXt 1t would rally every
Spanard around the new monarch; it would thrill
through the nation; II would hush feuds and sup
press local resentments and contention
Considering that Spain has been making
war on the Cubans for the past ten months;
that she has exerted her utmost strength to
put down a small colony without military or
political experience, without arms, without
organization, without preparation for fight
ing, without skill in warfare, without trans
portation, without a commissarat, without
one of the requisites of a successful war ex-
cept just cause, and courage, and heroic de-
votion, and that, without having fought q
single important battle, she is now far less
able to subdue them, far weaker and more
hopeless than she was at the beginning, we
must say that the bugbear with which the
Times endeavors TO scare the people of the
United States is one of the most absurd and
cowardly bugbears that pusilanimity ever in
vented to terrify great nation from the per-
formance of its duty.
Has the Times forgotten that within the
past six months the Spanish Government has
been obliged to contract a new loan, and that
the utmost it was able to obtain for fifty mil.
lions worth of bonds was fourteen millions OF
dollars And this it realized only by appeal
ing to the patriotism of the Spanish people
who gave the money magnanimously, il
order that their revolution might not go ou
in nothingness before it had even tried tt
establish a government Since then the finan
cial condition of Spain has grown worse AM
worse, lust as its internal order and its mill
tary power have deteriorated and become les
and less sure and available; and new issu
of Spanish bonds would to-day hardly brin
more than ten cents on the dollar. Flow, il
such state of pecuniary collapse, and wit
conspiracies and insuTectionary movement

Hunter who offers some portion of bis

be used for city lots before long. When
land is selling on Smiths Point at twenty
