Canada and Annexation.
TFrom the New YORK T.

FROM the NEW tribune
It can readily be understood why
any sentiment in Canada favoring an
nexation to the United States should
be very slow to make its appearance
in the Canadian newspapers. Official
influence. the sense of loyalty, the
dread of agitation, the common tend
ency of the well-to-do classes, es-
pecially under British inspiration, to
deprecate change, combine TO make
men whisper the new heresy with
bated breath. When it passes this
stage of nominal Reproduction by every
body, and enters the fields of ordinary
discussion as a thing to be openly
talked about, il has made a long
stride toward securing the approval
of the cautious and conservative ma
jority. That it can be mentioned at
all without being condemned is in
itself significant progress.
Yet we find reputable daily Jour
nal IN Montreal, the Star, In its com
ments upon the news of an approach-
ing visit from the British Minister tn
this country, to look into the reports
about desire for annexation. hold

like a geographical pontif, the keys

through which pass the manufactures
of one continent, and the corn of
another, and which commands the
great highway between Europe and
Asia. And country which. while
possessing these treasures, like a
cock on dunghill, would give

THE New York EUening Post calls
attention to these interesting facts:
The present century has seen four
great events:
/. MoRsE's invention of the tele-
graph,
2. The laying of the Atlantic Ca
BILE. ~
3. The death OF slavery in the
United States.
4. The completion of the Pacific
Railway.
In twenty-five years the continent
has been spanned by the wires of the
telegraph. Ten years ago the light
ming began to run beneath the sea.
Five years ago the war for freedom
ended, and slavery died. Last week
the iron track was made complete
from Portland to San Francisco.
The young man of to-day. who has
seen all these things accomplished,
will have tales to tell to his grand
children such as no grandsire of our
day can summon from the. stores of
his memory.

LegalIlE OF Nae RatIflcaflor.

As advised by telegraph, our read
ers are aware of the passage, by both
Houses of the State Legislature, of
the joint resolution ratifying the Eff
teenth Amendment to the .Constitu-
ton of the United States. Owing to
the resignation of the Democratic
members. ID is question with many
whether this ratification will be recog-
nized by Congress aud the Supreme
Court of the United States. The only
cause for doubt is the provision of
the State Constitution which requires
two thirds of each branch of the
Legislature to constitute quorum
for legislative business. There can
hardly be a reasonable doubt of the
regularity Of the A proceedings Of
the Senate, where there was
quorum present at the time
of the passage of the resolution of
ratification; but in the House only
fifty seven out of one hundred mem
bers of thai branch were present.
ffty-four voting in the affirmative,
clear majority of that body While
there is no question but that State
Constitution may prescribe the man
ner in which State legislative action
shall be had, it is contended Con-
gress has a right to determine what
shall be valid legislative action. so
far as the General Government Is con
cerned. This is no new question in
legislative proceedings. but has been
fally discussed and decided upon, in a
case in which this same provision Of
the Indiana Constitution was iHvolv.
ed. The Indianapolis Journal very ap-
propriately views the facts as establish.
ed by good Democratic precedent. i
says that the Senate of the United States
settled the question efectually in the
memorable case of JESSE d. BRIGHT
and GRAHAM N. FITCH, elected
Senators by joint convention of 8
majority OF the whole number oil
members of the Legislature. but con,
vened by the vote and consent of but
one house. with but minority of the
other house present. Here, there
was totally lacking the form of con.
sent to the electoral convention by
one house, and totally lacking ma,
jority of one house to give validity t
the action of that convention. Yet
the Senate held that, as majority OIL
the one hundred and fifty members
who compose both houses, was pres
emf, there was the substance of the
State authority present, aud the sub
stantial power of the State having
been exercised, though in disregard
Of forms, the United States woulc
recognize and accept it. In the pres.
ent case a majority of both houses
one by full compliance even with
the forms of the State Constitution
the other by the majority required By
the State Constitution, but in disre
gard of form, which the BRIGHT
case decided to be unimportant, have
ratified the amendment. The sub
stance of the State authority, and q
portion even of the non-essential
State forms, were present and exercis.

CONFESSION OF LORD JoHn :

CONFESSION OF LORD JOHN Rus
sELL.-Ihe London correspondent of
the Liverpool Journal says that Lord
JOHN RUSSELL makes no secret of
his opinion that the whole course Of
the British Government toward the
United States until the point when it
declined to recognize the South, was
wrong. It is very easy for him to see
the blunders of himself and colleagues
now. Tie present administration
should not perpetuate the blunder by
refusing to make due reparation.

THE Hon. JACOB THOMPSON, of
Mississippi, recently made a speech to
his neighbors at Oxford, in that State.
on his return from Europe. He took
rather hopeful and or serful view of
the situation. The people of the
South had attempted by force of arms
to set up and maintain a separate Gov
eminent, and had failed. It was now
their duty to accept the result Of that
failure in good faith; to struggle with
hearty good will TO build up the
waste places, and thus secure pros
perity and plenty to the people. Mr..
THOMPSON said:
In all ages the God of battles has
made some curious and inexplicable
decisions. But it is not for US to find
out the reasons which controlled
Him. It is ours only to obey the de-
cision, because from it there is no ap-
peal. In the late war the power oil
arms decided that we should remain
Que people, now and forever. The
God of battles decided the case IN
favor of Union. Now the true Chris
tian must justify the ways Of God to
man, and therefore he must say it was
wisest and best that the case should
be so decided. From this position a
duty is devolved upon every man
Each individual is bound to con-
tribute his mite to max this people a
great people, strong, happy, prosper.

A PRESIDENT THAT KNO VVs
NOTHING.

The belief grows, that President
Grant, who was to discard all poll
ticians knows less about the Govern
ment doings at Washington than
any other man in that city. The fol-
lowing. which we find in the Cleve-
land Leader, q Radical paper, is one
of many cases in point to show how
Grant is imposed upon by the de
signing men around him:
"a story which is told about town
will show how little the President
really knoUa whom -hR -aPPointS or
removes. 1t is said that Hon j. B.
Hawley, Radical member from the
Fourth district, waited on the Pres
ident, some time ago, with the an
nouncement that-he had come to-
talk little about the appointments
In his district The President saId
he was very willing to accede to the
wishes of his friends, but, said he;
"Mr. Hawley, there is one request
you must not make. do not want
to remove Jack Grimshaw, collector
ofyour district. He is q good Repub-
hcan, and an honest man, and ] will
not have him disturbed" ] hen,
says Mr.. Hawley, "Well, Mr.. Presi-
dent, / will not ask you to disturb
Mr.. Grimshaw, TOR the very good
reason that you removed him from
office ten days since, and appointed
his successor, who has been confirm
ed by the Senate" How the inter-
view terminated my Inf rmant does

Some of them are coming back at US

THE negro riot at Washington was
even more violent than at first report
ed About twenty of the rioters were
shot; one has since died, and others,
it is reported, cannot possibly sur
vive. The Washington Evening
Star, a Radical paper, says the police
had to guard, during the night. the
house OF the white man by whom
Stuart, the Conservative colored man,
was employed. The same paper
gives an account of drug store par
TALLY demolished by negroes, and of
an inhuman assault on a policeman
and a man named Kaiser. In each
case the negroes were the aggressors.
The Chronicle, also Radical, saws
nearly five thousand white register
ed voters remained away from the
polls. OF course they were intImi-
dated by the negro gangs who held
possession of the precinats all. day
These facts from radical papers
speak for themselves.

SOME of the Republican plpers
state with a sneer, that the grave OF
Mrs. Surratt was bountifulIy strewn
with flowers last Saturday, by her
rebel friends. We cannot conceive,
in light Of present knowledge, why
Anna Surratt should be censured for
affectionate remembrance OF a mar
tyred, murdered mother. Stanton,
Holt, and Andrew Johnson ought to
she'd burning tears for their. base and
cowardly. conduct in the case, they
should, have been the firstwith votivs
offerings at her grave, to make some
small amends for the past. The less
said against Mrs. Surratt the more
credItable for the country.
