Of this movement in the way of reform, re-
trencSment and the recovery Of revenues due
to the government. The line of the Missis-
sippi has beef, especially since the war, a
favorite line of operation for the smugglers
After the echoes of the Boston Jubilee shall
have ceased and the administration shall have
found out what to do about the Cuban ques-
ton, the Alabama question may be left over
for while until still further steps shall be
made in the way of retrenchment and reform.
The question of the enormous frauds in petro-
leum, tobacco and whiskey might well be re-
vived. 1t is now Of the highest Importance
that all revenues legitimately due to the gov
ernment should be collected and that all leaks
should be stopped.
The New York herald., 1869-06-21

The services and sermons which were OBJ
served and delivered in the different churches
in New York and some of the more
adjacent States, yesterday, are reported
at considerable length in our columns,
affording a consoling and encouraging ex-
hibit Of the useful influence of pastoral dis
cipline and pulpit oratory when spoken and
received with the soothing adjuncts of fashion
able dresses, convenient and well cushioned
pews and congregations at full liberty to crit-
else, approve or reject, ''call again. or stay
away, just as each member pleases, or his
convictions or whim may dictate There is
little doubt but a consi derable amount of
good in the work of the ''cure of souls was
accomplished, while it is equally certain that
the crude efforts made by some of the preach
ers with view to originality in Interpretation
and argument of and on Bible truths sent many
of their hearers home in a confused state of
mind as to the infallbility of the assurance that
the ''yoke is easy and the burden light" In
this city Methodism lost one of its ministers,
who renounced his clerical fealty to John
Wesley and his successors and proclaimed his
belief in the faith of Swedenborg. Rev.
Charles B. Smythe, on the subject of ''Pro-
testantism and Popery," was considerably
''hard" on the Papacy, slightly unchristian in
expression towards our Catholic brethren as
slch, and rather pointedly in opposition to the
constitutional guarantee of freedom of con-
science to all secured by the charter of Ameri
~ liz oh, of
New York were crowded, and the other de-
nomnations hsalthfully represented.
Brooklyn was pious and exceedingly well
clad. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, minis
tering amongst persons of wealth and fashion,
considered it discreet to reaffirm the apostolic
adjuraton of Paul in the words, ''Let love
be without dissimulation." The ladies were
evidently in triumph for moment. Breaches
of promise" with the insincere writings which
lead thereto, were, to their minds eye, about
to be emphatically condemned, and would
soon disappear both from the calendar Of the
courts and the pages of the newspaper press.
Their elatfon was short lived, however, for the
reverend gentleman applied the holy words
universally, but with pointed reference to fe
male ''dissmulations" in love. This style of
reasoning induced very evident disposition
to vote Saint Paul anything but an "a No.
one" pastor, and a man who did not really un-
derstand the state Of ''sne's feelings"
Rev. M. Bolles, who has just been
called to Universalist charge in Brook
lyn, gave his first sermon in explanation of the
mystical and visible union and org ganization of
the Church.
The temples in the river towns had rather
slim attendance, . good many persons who

toms of the heavy storm which prevailed dur

Our Relations With Brazil-Generai James
Watson Webb's Mission.

Watson Webb's Mission.
General James Watson Webb, Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the
United States to the Court of Brazil during the
past eight years, in terminating his mission
if he has really closed it-created grand fuss
not merely in Rio Janiero, but in the imperial
palace, the Office of the Minister and Secre-
tary of State for Marine, and generally ''all
round, previous to his departure for New
York. With pen in hand, paper. and ink
before him, and hanked by the mahogany
stocks of that ''almost fatal fray" the
General was warlke, and came out on
the Brazilians in an official correspondence
which covers many pages of large
sized ewspaper-equalling any of the
Seward Alabama letters in length, and
far superior to any particular one Of that
famous series in vim and personality of ex-
preston The subject matter was our claim
relative to the loss of the whaler Canada on
the Garcas Reef, more than a dozen of years
since, and tho alleged unauthorized appropria-
ton by the Brazilians of the proceeds of the
sale of her cargo and outfit to the national
treasury. Having a whaler in tow. the Gen
eral handles an epstolary harpoon Of the
sharpest sort with great vigor. He charac-
terizes the diplomacy of his Excelency the
Minister as ''undiplomatic, irregular" and
''grossly improper" and speaking of an at
tempt to remove the consideration of the
whaleman's case from his hands to Washing
ton, asserts that it was ''a gross and unpardon-
able breach of faith, violation of an honor
able compact between gentlemen and direct
personal offence to the representative OF
the United States, which would render
with the Minister in future" General Webb
next comes to attribute motives, hauling the
Cabinet in Washington into his quarrel very
adroitly thus :-''Your Excellency, in the name
of the Imperial government, has persisted in
course absolutely uncaed for by any consid
erations of justice or expediency, well know
ing that such would be deemed exceedingly
offensive both by the undersigned and his
government The undersigned would have
spent nearly eight years at this Court with
very huOWicuSc VI "uoe 10 paoSihB
around him if he had not become cognizant Of
the fact that dislike of all foreigners is ma
tional trait that such dislike is more intense
towards his countrymen than any other ma
tionality, because they have got rid Of the in
stitution of slavery" And again :-''The un-
dersigned, in closing his mission, has the sat-
isfaction to reflect that he has on all occasions,
and at no considerable personal sacrifice,
proved himself very sincere friend of Brazil
and of the Brazilian people," General Webb
is fully primed with abolitionsm and gun
powder. He is here in town on his way to
Washington, where he is almost certain to
fight somebody. Secretary Fish had better
post himself concerning Brazil He may be
forced into war or challenged on the spot.

General ThOmas-A Good Movement and
What We Think a Good Suggestion.


What We Think a Good Suggestion.
1t is given out that General George H.
Thomas, the new commander OF the Military
Division of the Pacific, including all the
Pacific States and Territories, has resolved
upon scientific exploration of the southeast
ern section Of the State of Nevada, an exten-
sive district in the heart of Fremont's Great
Basin still unexplored and unknown. We
have no doubt that General Thomas came to
this resolution from what he learned on his
late journey to San Francisco via the Pacific
Railroad of the wonderful White Pine silver
mines and of their accidental discovery on the
border of this unknown region, and that the
idea readily occurred to him of the thorough
exploration suggested. We say readily Oc-
Cured, because we are informed by distin-
guished Union officer in the late war that Gen.
eral Thomas is not only model soldier, but
one of the finest scholars in the government
service, possessing, among other things, rare
knowledge of geology. Our informant says
that Gin making once, with General Thomas,
the ascent of Lookout Mountain l forgot the
man of war in the man of science" To such
a man, Sin these piping times of peace" the
command of the Military Division of the
Pacific affords fine field for scientific explora-
tions; and we dare say that his projected re-
connoissance of Southeastern Nevada and the
contiguous Territories will be in its discoveries
of great value to the government and all con-
cerned.
We hope that General Thomas however, as
it is not yet too late, will provide for some
scientific explorations during the present sum-
mer of that enormous and mysterious white
elephant of ours called Alaska. He ought to
send up special steamer, with company Of
savans, along with Mr.. Seward and the steamer,
without loss of time, should push forward to
the mouth OF that great Arctic river the
Yukon. From the report of the British ex-
plorer Captain Whymper we think it proba-
BILE that a steamer entering the mouth of that
stream as late even as the middle or the last
of July might ascend it thousand or fifteen
hundred miles, or more, if there be no falls
or rapids in the way, and get back again be-
fore the locking up of the river. From Whym-
per's description and illustrations it would ap-
pear that the Yukon carries down to the sea
a larger volume of water than the st. Law
renee or the Mississippi, and all that we know
of it is from this British traveller. We think
that steamboat trip, then, up the Yukon
is due to Mr.. Seward, because the river
and the unknown land it waters are his
purchase; and as he may never again have
the opportunity to inspect this large farm and
its grand water course General Thomas ought
to send him up with corps of savans, and as
far up as they can go in order to return before
the first Alaskan frost. We respectfully sub
nit this suggestion to the consideration o
General Thomas and the administration, and
we hope it will be adopted.

The Future Of Cannda-Indepcndence or
Annexation.

The Future Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES or
Annexation.
The correspondence between q Canadian
gentleman and Mr.. Gladstone, Premier Of
England, on the subject of the present gov
ernmental system and status of the Dominion
of Canada and the probable future position Of
the colony, as independent territory or an in
tegral portion of the United States, which we
publish to-day, is worthy the attention Of our
readers. The Canadian, dating in New York,
is explicit in declaration and convincing by
facts and argument, that the British North
American Province cannot preserve its present
relations to the mother country and at the
same time develop its resources and strength
in healthy aud profitable ratio; so that, con-
sequently, its inhabitants must either be
permitted, in o quiet and friendly spirit,
the fullest and most complete citizen privi-
leges, with the right o7 managing their own
affairs, or their country will inevitably be abb
sorbed by the United States, through the
healthy action Of social progress and com
mercial faterlacing and consolidation, or be
btlEcu oud uGuucuiy 0uucAcu Ny but Sdilo
power as an sct Of war against Great Britain.
This subject has within the past few years en-
gagged the attention Of some Of the most COM
prehensve minds in the English Parliament
among others that Of the late Richard Cob
demand the general conclusion, notwith
standing the exhibition of pure John Bull
''never say die" tone in many of the high
places, has been to the effect that Canada can
not be defended against the people Of the
Union, and that the transatlantic Britons
must eventually be left to ''choose
their own form Of government" the
polite and diplomatic words in which
the thrones Of the present day acknowledge
their inability to further subjugate people to
their rule. The writer expresses the opinion
that If England would declare the Dominion
On independent nationality the United States
would never initiate movement for its annex
alton. This is correct. The American gov
ernment has never in its history acquired ter
Yitory by the exercise Of force or against the
will Of the population. The Canadians of to-
day are educated and Intelligent If they
think II better to remain in the position Of
quasi emancipated colonists Of England it is
good. Should they decide for Incorporation to
the United States it is good also, and they
know very well how and where to apply.
Under orr dag they will enjoy the fullest Sc
curity. Peace and quiet will follow, except
on election days and the Fourth of July, when
they must vote--early aud often-and thsw
