DARrES TREATY LAND GRANTS. Darien
treaty recently negotiated by Mr.. Gushing pro-
vidcs for the laying of Of all the lands in a
strip ten miles wide on each side Of the Darien
canal, and the assignment Of alternate sections
to the United States and to Colombia. The
immense expenditures on the isthmus which
will be required in the construction of the
canal will make these lands worth millions Of
dollars, and this in itself will constitute sufi-
cient benefit to the petty and incompetent gov
ernment Of Colombia for the concession Of the
right of way. We therefore call upon the
Senate to strike out Of the Darien treaty the
stipulation that the canal tolls shall be aug
mented one-third for the exclusive benefit OF
the Bogota government. No such tax on the
commerce Of the world should be established
at the toll gates Of the American isthmus.

Another Shaking UP Of Mexico-esenernI
Grants Policy.
The volcanic republic of Mexico, always
smoking and rumbling, with frequent dis
charges Of gas and scoria, seems to be once
more in state Of active eruption. BY way Of
Havana-itself in the midst of revolutionary
ordeal--we have the intelligence from Vera
Cruz that on the Sd instant General Negretc
(revolutionist) had captured the important city
Of Puebla, and had issued the usual proclama-
the 9Th, with the approach of the government
troops, he left, bag and baggage, taking the
road towards Matamoros that the revolution
lists Of San Martin, on the Cth had levied
forced loan of two hundred thousand dollars on
the merchants Of the town; that the rcvo-
lutionary General Zeputa, at Sisal, had flown
on being attacked by General Vargas;
that o revolution was expected at Guada-
lajara, the Governor having resigned and the
courts having declared their inability to admin
ister justice; that revolution had broken out
In Flascala and another In Nueva Leon, where
Quiroga, with twelve hundred armed men, had
pronounced in favor OF General Santa Anna
that 4 force OF troops on railroad near the
city had pronounced, and that q proaurcia-
msonto had been issued In Tamaulipas, where
the revolution Is increasing.
This Is worse than Cuba; and yet, although
the receipt Of all this stirring news made at
first lively sensation in the Mexican capital,
the excitement, we are told, had been allayed.
They are used to such things in Mexico, and
the oit-badgered and pundered inhabitants of
city, town and hacienda do not give them
selves much trouble except in the immediate
presence of raid. We hear very little Of
Juarez; but II woald appear that he has very
considerable army in the field scattered abo,k
in squads from Ydcatan up to the Rio Grandc
and thence across to the Pacific Ocean, that
they find abundance Of employment and that II
Is no uncommon thing for squad here or there
to pronounce in favor Of some iusurgent leader
whom they were sent to put down. From Maxi
milan TO Juarez the transition Of Mexico has
been only the change from a foreign despotism
to domestic anarchy--'only this, and nothing
more Napoleon was right in his opinion
that the Mexican people, such as they are, are

Comments ON Its Rejection.
Various comments were ELECTED from the
London press on Saturday morning by the
failure of the United States Senate to ratify the
treaty recently concluded between Lord Clar-
endon and Reverdy johnson for the settlement
of the Alabama claims. One journal said that
this treaty has testified the amity Of England,
and that its failure does not endanger the
friendly relations between the two countries,
but will rather serve as a warning In arrang-
ing the points Of new convention. Another
regrets the rejection OF the convention after
the protracted and laborious negotiations, add
inO that the advances for q new treaty must
come from the United States--that England is
now unfettered from concessions and will only
treat hereafter on terms Of absolute equality.
A third journal regrets the rejection Of the
treaty only on account OF the delay IL win 90
casion in the restoration Of friendly relations
between Great Britain and the United States
After all there need be no trouble in the

The Reception of the Foreign Ministers b,
the Japanese Mikads.

Our latest advices from Japan show that
most cordial understanding exists. between the
Mikado and the representatives Of foreign gov
ernments at that court. 1t is thus evident
that the Japanese are feeling the impulse Of
the age and desire TO be foremost among the
Asiatic nations to seize upon the advantages
which the more civilized world is about TO pre-
sent to the Eastern Asiatic coast. Hitherto the
fiow OF trade In the history of the world has been
westward; now there Is every indication that
IL Is TO turn to the eastward. 80 far as the
greater part Of the Asiatic exports are con-
cerned. In view of this IL becomes of moment
for Japan to consider her geographical position
with reference to this coming trade, and seize
upon the advantages which she possesses to
assist In its distribution-in fact, aid In
the transportation Of Asiatic products to the
coast OF California and to the Isthmus OF
Darien. japan, to the future commerce OF the
Pacific, occupies much the same position that
Great Britain does to the trade OF the Atlantic
Great Britain and Japan flank the Eastern
Continent--one on the west, the other on the
east Therefore let the japanese prepare for
the role they are destined to play; for the
Pacific Ocean will throw the smaller trade Of
the Atlantic into the background as, compare
lively, pigmy effort Of the past
We cannot cultivate too extensively the ap-
parently friendly feeling Of Japan to draw
closer to ms in her commercial relations, and
there, as elsewhere, our very best and ablest
men shonld be sent to watch over our inte-
rests; for much of our future growth in that
direction will depend upon the ability with
which our affairs are managed. If the foun-
dations are broad we shall have room for
vast structure; IL they are narrow they win
require constant tearing down and rebuilding.
With Japan and China we want the most cor
dial understanding, and every effort should be
made on our part TO effect II.

Legal Tenders-DecisIon Of tho Supreme
Court.
There has been q great deal Of hair-splitting
and unnecessary multiplication Of words in the
press upon the decision Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States on coin contracts. The plain
language and whole scope Of that decision are
based upon the intent of contract and in the az
firmation that both coin and United States notes
are legal tender; that is to say. where con-
tracts have been made providing for payment
in coin, whether before or since the act was
passed making United States notes legal ten
der, coin paymentcan be enforced, and where no
contract for payment in coin has been or may
be specifically made United States notes are
legal and sufficient tender. So there are two
kinds of lawful money and legal tenders-the
coined money of the United States and the
greenbacks The latter is in all cases legal
tender when contracts do not provide for pay
ment in coin, no matter when made; but all
contracts requiring in specific terms the pay
ment of coin, whether made before or since
the Legal Tender act was passed, can be en-
forced according to the terms. This is the
sum and substance Of the decision and settles
the question of coin contracts.
The court only decided upon the Law Of the
case and did not enter into the question Of the
constitutionality of the Legal Tender act author
izing the issue of United States notes. Wa
know not whether the broad question Of the
constitutionality of the act will ever come up
c,s ba dad hu ho
Court but if it should there need not be any
fear that the decision would be such as ia
undo the work Of the government and throw
the whole country into confusion. There is
law of necessity before which even the highest
courts bow. Before this doubtful questions OF
constitutional law or nice technicalities give
way. The people may rest perfectly easy,
therefore, with regard to the legal tender
question since this decision Of the court on
coin contracts. Nor need there be any con-
fusion of ideas or trouble about having two
kinds of money or legal tenders. We have
always had two kinds of money-paper and
specie So has England, and so have all great
commercial nations. Indeed, it is impossible
to do without paper money in some form or
other. There is not specie enough in the
world to do fifth part of the business, to say
nothing of the greater convenience Of using
or handling paper representatives Of value.
The decision Of the Supreme Court may prove
valuable in facilitating coin transactions in
business and in tending to bring the country
nearer to specie basis. That ought to be
sufficient for the present, and the less Con-
gress does with the currency the better. The
operation Of natural laws and of individual
action in the matter of contracts and trade will
regulate the currency and bring US to specie
payments as soon as they can be safely reached
without creating a revulsion or disturbance in
the values and business Of the country.
