narbans has been developed in modern ages,
and one which is fruit of human intensity,
tbat tbe most powerful and comprehensive
minds are the outgrowth of well populated
Countries. But the food OF the people OIL such
countries must be ample in variety and supply
an0hence not only must the soil be fruitful
but commerce must contribute the productions
of otter lands. 1t is manifest that the questloh
of POPULATION branches out into an lnhhite
variety If considerations, and we can only pre-
sent somt of the points which are OF greatest
Importance to our day and age. lie e11ect Oh
fish diet is eferred to as having been declared
favorable for an increase Of population, but the
evidence is MT sufficiently supported. A hsh
diet seems deficient in the elements when
impart vigor ami vitality, and Dr. Johnson
long ago observed that no people could i've
long on fish. Tea is supposed to have decideu
influence to increase the number OF Births
and if this is true it may help to explain
why China is so pOpulous. Early marriages are
also favorable for an increase Of population
and for the abundant reason that economical
and careful habits are soon established, and
the moral and religious sentiments receive an
early and natural development.
We conclude that an increase in population
cannot arise from any one cause, however ex-
citing and powerful, for the reason that man
has two-fod nature, one being physical and
the other intellectual, and continued reflex ac-
ton establishes completely requiring the con-
currence of many favorable conditions, and
this more and more as society advances, until
now, in our age, an equable development OF
body and mind is becoming imperative. Still,
adverse influences will arise, even when lndl-
yduals and cOmpacts cOnscientiOusly observe
every law, because man has brought the seeds
of Reorganization and decay out of dark and
forgotten ages, when in his foul novels mala-
ria chilled his blood, when the sting of insects
destroyed sensibility, and when disease and
plague hoated upon the midnight air. Gould
we have q comprehensive view of the causes
which have implanted disease in every tissue
and organism, from the crown of the head to
the sole of the foot we would tremble at
the sight; but it is given us to understand, if
We Will, that the human race is pressing for
ward to the achievement Of grand evOlutiOns,
such as in the end amply will compensate, even
in the eye of the Creator and Father OF us all,
for that which, to our limited comprehension,
seems to make this a world Of mourning and
despair. The lesson is, and the lesson ever
must be, that when much is given much will
be required

"IRREG ULARITIES.1

We sincerely hope that the Investigations
instituted in the Custom House in this city by
the Treasury authorities, a few days ago, will
be earnestly prosecuted to q full and thorough
completion. A suspicion of fraud and cOrrup-
ton has been justly earned by an Administra-
ton so reckless of principle as that which went
out some four months ago; and we shall not
be surprised if traces of the dishOnOr be dis
covered in the Custom-House here. Indeed,
already it has been pretty satisfactorily proved
that frauds exist-tO how large an extent
should be determined by unfinching, per-
sistent inquiry. The zeal inspired for
tho work, proceeding from genu'
ine honest purpose to correct hagrant
evils, WILL we predict, realize commensurate
reward in results. Mention has already been
made in THE TRIBUNE of certain ex-weighers
who have been arrested and certain other ex-
weighcrs who have the service of warrants
issued against them, on the charge of manu-
featuring false pay-rOls, wherewith several
thousands of dollars were, rs alleged, fraudu
lently obtained from the Treasury. In the
examination of Weighcr Doolittle, discharged
from arrest tho other day, by Commissioner
White, tho force of evidence against the
accused seemed to us to point pretty
squarcly at transactions worse than "iTreg-
"ular." A newspaper printed somewhere
in Judge Smalley's bailiwick Qhe official
conduct of n son of the Judge being also
under a cloud) pleads that Irregularities should
not be harshly judged. But in the evidence
thus far adduced, the indications of positive
peculation crop ont very decidedly, and if not
exhibited in completeness by further develop
ments, we mistake the bearing. So much has
been whispered, or talked out, about Custom
House /" Irregularities" that we want to see
the subject for once thoroughly prObed, now
that the beginning has been yentured. Impli-
cate whom it may, if anybody be found with
filching fingers in the Government till, unmask

the amount of church property With
would come to be disposed of b.
Parliament would be between thlrty-hVe
and forty millions of dollars, and that, after
nrovidpo for certain vested interests, the
surnlus vould be over thirty-five millions
The Lords temporal proposed to swallow
nm these sums in amendments Tor
the benefit of the Establishment. BY an
amendment of the Archbishop of Canterbury
an amount of 100000 representing the con-
fiscated Irish property known as the Ulster
grants, and long list of ancient private
endoyments, so called was to be consumed
proposition of the Archbishop OF 1Ork'
respecting the life annuities OF clergyheh'
would have taken up $S.OOOOOO. The amend
ments of two other Bishops, who wish
to see their clergy provided 1or'
amount to $5,OOO,OOO and altogether the
propositions of the Lords spiritual alone would
involve a cost of $2O,OOOOOO. Counting in the
cost of other amendments by the Lords tenn
poral, among them that of concurrent endow-
ment, the total demand of the Lords would reach
as high q sum as S5O,0OO,OOO, or an amount con-
sderably in excess of the surplus contem-
plated by Mr.. Gladstone. We do not oVerstate
the case when we say that the conduct OF the
Lords, and especially The Lord Bishops, with
respect to the bill, has been grasping and
worldly.
Two courses were open to the Ministry
since the rejection of Earl Granyille's motion
either to withdraw the bill instantly and ap-
peal to the country, or to await the returning
reason of the Lords. 1t is maintained that out
of very large number of amendments of va
rious degrees of Importance, offered by the
Lords, the Commons have been moderate in
rejecting less than score of them. Our
impression is, however that nearly all
the amendments which the Lords deemed vital
have been refused by the Commons. English
progress is in general an affair of ingenious,
and, in some respects of most painstaking and
complicated compromises; and we shall
not be surprised if, at the end OF
its career, the original bill of the
Commons shall have lost somewhat of its
integrity. 1t seems enough for tho people of
England that the Church shall be pensioned at
all, and the gift is certainly enough to satisfy
tender conscences. AT last, however, grave
Parliamentary crisis has come to an end in the
surrender of the Lords. Upon that result
liberty the world over may be congratulated.

Communication with the outlying country is
what we most pressingly need, and for that
reason we hail still another railway to Newark
and the fresh fields of NewJersey. That State
is usually off the track politically, and has a
well-earned reputation for highway robbery of
the unfortunate travellers who are compelled
to cross her territory; but she is reasonably
kind to those who settle within her
lightly taxed borders, and has dealt kindly
by many thousands of NEWCOMERS who have
sought homes with her. Every road that gives
frequent and cheap communication with the
country is most welcome to New-YOrllers
We trust the Newark and New-York" will
prove to be one of the best of them.

The vast value of our telegraph system was
never more forcibly illustrated than upon the
Goth inst when the whole country was in
formed that upon the morning of that day, at
Long Branch "the President took stroll along
"the beach after breakfast" But even this was
as nothing to the thrilling fact that "Ex-Sen-
"ator Thomas Murphy sent his team for tho
"President's use, which was accepted and
"long drive was taken along the sea-shore"
Then follows this valuable and interesting
statement: "But very few recognized the Pres
"ident he being alone" Good heavens tho
President of the United States actually alone!
If Mr.. Murphy's team can thus secure for Gen.
Grant q short season of precious privacy, we
beg its owner to present it, coach, horses, and
all. TO the President. 1t must be swift span

THE BRITJSH CRISIS.

The question between Lords and Commons
has ended in a sudden compromise. Lately
the Lords rejected the preamble Of the Church
bill as it came back to them from tho ether
House. In point of retaliation they have done
no worse than their opponents in the Com
mons, who made no scruple, in the first place,
to reform the preamble rs returned to them
from the Lords. But, morally, the Peers,
though body of the most elaborate debaters
the world has ever known, were at fault. The
point they insisted upon in the preamble was
q proposition to cOncurrently endow the prin-
cipal churches in Ireland, in order that the
English Church might plausibly take to itself
four or five times more of this worlds goods
than its rival could. The English Premier con-
ceived that such plan of endowment was
opposed to the spirit of his bill. The rejection
of the preamble by the Lords was peremptory
and emphatic, and its motive could not have
been mistaken after the rejection, in a similar
way, of the University Test bill lately sent to
them by large majority of the Commons.
But at the last hour the Lords have yielded,
and, if we are not mistaken, the crisis is past
But one judgment can be formed of the
course of the Lords from democratic point
OF view. Their course has been reactionary in
the extreme. Seldom could men with the edu-
cation Of the Peers, and the character Of the
Bishops especially, having contact with the free
tendencies of the age, have been more unwisely
opposed to what in the end must be inevita-
bic. The war Of the Lords upon the Church
bill was waged upon grounds of bargain. 1t
was not that Disestablishment might be
prevented, for the downfall of the
Church was fOregone; but that the party of Es-
tablishment, including bishops, priests, and the
numerous body of clerical pensioners who made
money from the wrong imposed on an angry
and unhappy country, should be handsomely
paid before it yielded up its opposition to a
vital measure. What the Lords have de-
mandcd from the bill, as respects endow-
ment, exceeds everything within the view
Of the bill. Mr.. Gladstone calculated that

The Lancaster Pa) Intellgencer gives US the
gratifying intelligence that the Hon. Asa
Packer ain the gubernatorial chair will form
ga rampant to the rascalities of corrupt legls-
"lators,n which is a nice thing to say OF man
who VIGOROUSLY bought his nomination. Gen.
Jackson defended New-Orleans behind ram
part of cotton-bags :Yare we to understand thae
the Hon. Asa will defend the pennsylvania
Treasury behind rampant OF his own money
bagsQ If the Hon. Asa Packer has assumed
the responsibility of supporting corrupt leg
"islators" out of his own pocket, so much the
better for his State; but the human nature OF
Mr.. Packer being like human nature in gen.
eral we fancy that, under any circumstances,
the shrewd gentleman means to make himself
whole. 1t is poor Pennsylvania that will
bleed at last.

Mr.. Geo. B. Vashon, colored lawyer formerly
of this city, has just been admitted to practice
at the bar of the Criminal Court of the District
of Columbia. We have now colored clergy
men, DOCTORS lawyers, schoolmasters, printers,
and clerks; yet there are still a plenty of
people who insist substantially that the Black
is not human being; that he is of the same
kind with the gorilla; that he must not vote,
though he may pay taxes and that, in an in
credibly short space of time, his race will be-
come extinct. Every day the monkey theory
is reduced to still deeper absurdity; and
these chronological sciolists in trying to prove
the imbecility of the African seem to be in a
fair way of demonstrating their own.

We cannot say how sorry we are for Mr..
Asa Packer, the Democratic" candidate for
Governor in Pennsylvania. He is saidto be
worth $20OOO,0O0, and the way in which he
will be phlebOtomized by the party is painful
to think of. He was rich enough to buy the
nomination, but he is MT probably rich enough
to buy an election. Great numbers of hungry
fugemen will profit by the depletion of Mr..
Packers purse; but it is pretty hard that the
man should be forced to pay for the precious
rib roasting which is in store for him. We
have always thought that Democratic" candi-
dates should be handsomely paid for running;
but here is an unfortunate who is set up to be
Knocked down, and then has to foot the bills
Poor Mr.. Packer!

The agents of the Government of Brazil
having promised to the American emigrantS
who went there great quantity OF acres,
rations, and supplies generally, it seems to us
a proof of baseness and treachery that in no
instance did the Government perform its con-
tract. One who started out with three thou
sand dollars came back without penny. BY
many vicissitudes the emigrants appear to
have tested the hospitality of a Slave Power,
and to have earned a claim upon our sympa-
thy. Henceforth they will be able with more
philosophy to endure the ills of life under free
institutions.

We fail to see the wisdom of the decision
Gen. Candy is said to have reached to compel
every member-elect in the Virginia Legisla-
ture to take the iron-clad oath before admis-
sion to his seat. We cannot sec the neces-
sity of imposing exactions in the case
of Virginia that were not thought need
full for Louisiana, and we judge the Presidents
decision to submit the question to the Attor-
ney-General wise. Whatever may be the re-
suit, we hope nothing will be done to drive into
the Opposition those Virginians who have 10y
ally accepted the new situation Of affairs, and
who stand ready to ratify the Fifteenth
Amendment. Let us take the good we can
get and not imperil the Amendment by clamOr-
ing because we cannot get more.

The Rev. DR.. Cummings of Chicago having
preached sermon against "Ritualism," the
Episcopal Bishop of the diocese orders tho
warden of Trinity Church not to allow the
Rev. DR.. Cummings to preach in that pulpit
any more. Now, we have not word to say
about the matter in dispute; but we may
observe-we hope without offcnse-that DR..
Cummings, if cut off from preaching in one
place, will probably preach in another, tho
silencing of DR.. Cummings being the one thing
which the Bishop is powerless to accomplish.
On the contrary, the Rev. DR.. Cummings will
discourse against candles and vestments more
vigorously and volubly than ever. The Chicago
bishop should take pattern from the excellent
diocesan of NewYork, who allows his clergy
to do anything not positively immoral except
to preach in Methodist meeting houses.

We have heard for two years that certain
Gen. Vega, always fugitive and vaga0ond
in and about Mexico, was Immediately to rev.
olutionize the States of Sinaloa and Sonora
and make a confederacy of them. In that un-
happy, striving, and long-suilering country,
military gamblers, to quote the expressive
phrase of Juarez, speculate in revolutions"
and play for territorial stakes. To them States
are cheap, and lives are as half-pence, and
probably no country on the face of the globe
is held at so poor a rate by its natives as Mex
leo is by her rascals. BY and by we shall
hear the last of La Vega, as of Santa Anna
and Negrete.

The advertising forces of the Boston Jubilee
are not by any means expended. An enter
prising apothecary in Boston announces that
he placed in the hands of the chorus eighteen
thousand boxes of his cough lOzenges, at a
cost to himself of $3.50. We are not prepared
to say how much of the clearness, sweetness,
might, majesty, and sorority of the singing is
to be attributed to the thoughtful act of this
philanthropic pharmaceutist; but we think that
eighteen thousand boxes, containing, probably,
about $4,000 troches, should have had some
effect Now, we want to know who furnished the
rosin for the fiddle bows, and whether he fur
nished it without money and without price.
