CHINESE INDEPENDENCE.

The false dispatch published some time ago,
that the Chinese Government had rejected the
Burlingame treaty with this country, seems not
only TO. have fastened the ratification OF that
treaty, but 70 have led Prince Kung to take
prompt action upon the treaties negotiated with
other Governments by Mr.. Burlingame. The
cable telegram announcing the ratlncation OIL
the American treaty at Pekin, has been quickly
followed by another telegram announcing the
ratification of the treaty with England. AS the
same principle is embodied in each OF the other
trcatrs negotiated by the Chinese Embassy,
there not the slightest doubt that they will
all b. duly ratified as they are received at
PekiI
Tn ugh Mr.. Burlingame's mission was in
some respects difficult, it was exceedingly
simpln. 1t was merely to secure the establish
ment of the principle that the Governments OF
Eurole and America would deal with the CHI
nese Government as they are in the habit OF
dealing with each other. China did not ask
any special privileges, or seek to be
rele sed from any of the obligations or re-
$40, sibilities of international law. She merely
sought to obtain the ordinary rights of nations,
and if she was to be held liable for public
obligations, she also claimed the privileges OF
.ubic Justice To those unfamiliar with events
China during the last half century, 1T may
OF seem much that Mr.. Burlingame, has ac-
Omplished in securing the recognition OF the
'ekin authorities, as the power through whom
II negotiations must be conducted, and to
hon all appeals must be made but 1t is in
.eality nothing less than the securing of those
ew inherent rights belonging to all indie
endent nations, and without which the claim
independence is q farce. There was oil
curse no difficulty in securing this recognition
rom the American Government, which had
,ejther relations nor interests In China
ntagonistic with justice: and consequently, as
Don as Mr.. Burlingame had drawn up his
reaty here it was ratified by the Senate and
signed by the President. But he had very
formidable opposition to encounter in England,
and he had serious difficulties to overcome i'll
France aud the remarkable success he has
met with i'm these and other countries shows
that his labors have merited the commenda-
ton they have received from that most lntelll-
gent and distinguished of Chinese statesmen,
Prince Kung
BY the ratification of these treaties China is
for the first time admitted into the family OF
nations as n sovereign power, equal IN rights
privileges, obligations, and responsibilities, with
all the others. BY these treaties the Govern
ments of the world have for the first time
recognised the independence Of CHINA, and
given her a guarantee for the maintenance OF
her independence such as she has never here
tofore possessed.

REpUBLIcAN REoRGANIzATION IN THIS

The Committee of Twelve who have under-
taken to superiutend the enrolment and reor-
cauization of the Republican party of this
city, have announced through our advertising
columns tho several places where the names
of Republican electors will be received for en-
rollment between the hours OF and " O'Clock
this evening and tomorrow evening" we
publish elsewhere the list of Inspectors, four
for each Assembly District, who are to receive
and enter up the names. 1t is understood tha'
two of the Inspectors for each district are APP
pointed by the Twenty-secOnd-s organization
and the other two by the Twenty-thlrd ana
Twenty eighth-st. organizations.
We regard the appointment of some OF the
Inspectors on the list as wise and others as
decidedly otherwise. If the reorganization OF
the party is to be of any practical utility ex-
cept to a few Ring politicians, it must be done
not only fairly and sQuarely. but so obviously
so rs 20 leave no doubt upon the subject IN
thc T.. nds ofsthe honest and intelligent Repub-
lican voters of the city. They are heartily
tired of being hoodwinked and swindled by
selfish and self-appointed leaders, who parade
their pretended devotion to the Republican
party while secretly working in the interest OF
the Tammany Hall Ring. We trust that there
is no warrant to justify the boast of Mr.. Sheriff.
OBren that he will appoint the President OF
the new Republican General Committee.
Although we detect the names of a few
trafiickers in politics and patriotism in the list
of Inspectors, we see a larger number OF
reputable names there; and we earnestly
urge an Republicans, not only to enroll Their
names, but to see to it that improper names
are not foisted into the Associations. After that
it will be well enough for those Republicans
who take an interest in good government, and
have 4 regard for the welfare of the party, to
pay little attention to the primary elections
now and then.

The United States mails continue to be
carried Tor miscarried, or not carried at ALL
with the most exquisite and punctilious
irregularity There is a deep growl in St.
Louis; there is q deeper growl in New
Orleans; there are growls of greater or less
depth in all parts of the country. For our
own part, we pretty much gave up growing
long ago, for it would be a waste of our bass
vocal resources. When we are in particularly
bad humor at some particularly provoking
disappointment, we mean hereafter to solace
ourselves by reading the last Annual Report
of the =. NJ. c., which, we fancy, will not fail
TO satisfy us that all is as it should be-or at
least as it must be, which amounts to the
same thing.

We are rather doubtful about the sentiments
of the suffrage ladies on the subject of Mis-.
Pierce of Cambridge. They asked her to come
here and preach to them and she does II I
preach the gospel they are used to. She tells
them that the remedy for woman's wrongs Is
not the ballot, but cooperation; that Wo-
mans vote is not worth as much as a mans, and
that the women of NewYork in particular are
guilty, in the sight of heaven, of flood Of
folly, frivolity and extravaganza which is mum
dating the whole country. Finally, she goes so
far as to hint an unfavOrable comparison be-
tween Fifth-ave. and BeacOn-st-and then she

with which good government in Mexico has
to contend. Mr.. Seward will marvel at the
variety, the misery, and the liveliness OF the
troubles with which the Juarez Administration
have had to contend Proportionately he Will
wonder at the endurance, astuteness, and indif-
ference with which they have been encoun-

inouire about the Canto case. Our problem Is
to find out to what degree Mexico's mlsfor-

reconcileable with astuteness, endurance, and,
in short, with the character OF the Government
which Mr.. Seward compares to the Govern
ments of Bolivar and Washington

will be an interesting discussion of a class of
questions which are now exciting a great deal
of earnest attention among thinking people.
Science has but recently entered upon the
grand problem of the forces of the universe,
but results of great interest and impressive
ness have been already reached. They need,
however, to be translated into popular shape,
