BRITISH COLONIAL INDEPENDENCE. - The
attempted consolidation Of British North
American Dominion In Canada Is still re-
pugnant to the political opinions, popular ten
denotes and commercial interests of the inhabi-
tants of Nova Scotia, and the colony has con-
sequently renewed it's agitation for indepen-
dence aud self-government During the session
of the Legislative Assembly in Halifax on
Wednesday Mr.. Murray, member for Pictou,
expressed the wishes Of the colonists on both
subjects in the words Of the plain and unmis-
taxable resolution which appears in our col
umns. The gentleman decidedly protested
against the onc-sided union Of Nova Scotia
with Canada, denied the right OF the home gov
ernment to force his constituents to observe IL,
and sketched out plan of cure by annexation
to the United States. Mr.. Murray approved of
zone more" appeal to the Queen, and submit
tod his resolution for debate on Tuesday. He
is on the right track. Incorporation with our
Union would settle the fisheries question, give
vast impetus to the timber trade and stud
Halifax harbor with trading sails.

AMIABLE SoLIoITUDE.-I is stated that the
Secretary of State has expressed much solicit
tude in regard to the whereabouts of General
Mcmahon, our Minister to Paraguay, who has
at last turned up at Asuncon. 1t was not the
fear that the so-called bloodthirsty tyrant had
''slashed the wizzen" or put few bullet holes
through the body Of our Minister, but it was to
know his address, so that note might reach
him announcing his recall and the appointment
Of his successor, General Cochrane. Now let
the General start for Paraguay with his COM
mission at once. He became accustomed to
finding hot places during the rebellion. Give

THE EXCITEMENT IN WALL STREET.-The
s'buls" and ''bears" in stocks had severe
engagement yesterday, the latter beginning
the fight and relying upon the assistance of
Secretary Boutwell, and his three per cents to
turn the fortunes of the day against their ad-
versaries. But Mr.. Boutwell, proveda Blucher
in this financial Waterloo, and authorized the
statement that he would not cancel the three
per cents, which would contract the currency,
make money tight and break stocks. So night
came with defeat for the 'bcars' and victory
for the 'bulls.'

HAULING THEM OVER THE CoALs.--Ken-
public appreciation II aims at an inquiry into
the private lives of the policemen, and tends
to inform the Police Board what portion Of
their subordinates lead irregular lives. There
can be no greater insult to common deoency
than to have on the police grossly immoral
men, since the police are in so great degree
charged with the care of public morals.

THE CRY RAILROAD DEsPoTIsM We ask
again whether the city authorities are going to
sustain the action Of the horse railroads in
crowding every vehicle off the streets, In OBJ
structing the transit Of private carriages,
hacks and wagons, at their own sweet will
The city railroads are undoubtedly vast
accommodation, aud we could not get on very
we'll without them but that Is no reason why
they should monopolize all the rights which
belong to the citizens on the public highways.
We contend that private individuals have
some rights and privileges which corporations
like the railroad companies are bound to
respect. Citizens are taxed pretty heavily to
keep the streets In order, and they are GER
tainly entitled to an unencumbered travel,
without having their vehicles blocked up and
stopped by the railroad cars whenever drivers
and conductors choose to do 80. This is an
evil which should be corrected.

the latter was in Office, and the difference

nations since commerce was known, appeared
sun TO be hers But behold we confront her
in Asia also. We are there using with the
Chinese only the reasonable, manly terms
that are the outflow of the spirit developed by
our institutions, and the contrast with English
arrogance and avarice Is such that we carry
everything before us in our desire to secure
the favor and trade Of that industrious and
productive people. For the first time China
begins to know the age in which we are living,
and Indicates power to sympathize with the
outside world and readiness to accept ideas
not her own, and to take a share In the great
drama of human progress.
How long can the Indian empire of England
endure the contact of that people and those
ideas that have thus revolutionized Europe
and awakened even China? Here we shall
soon have completed machinery for the trans
mission Of intelligence so perfect that a word
spoken in New York may be repeated in Can
ton at the same hour in which 1t was spoken In
this city, and whatever is published
in the New YonK HERALD may be
known at the Chinese as at the
American breakfast table of the same day. 1t
ia hardly an exaggeratiOn to say that that
ocean, one shore Of which is Chinese and the
other American, is destined to become only
modern Mediterranean for to the steam of
this day its distances are hardly greater than
were those of the smaller sea to the canvas
of former days. Already our great steam
packets are traverslng that ocean, and our
merchants are seeking beyond it the channels
of trade. AS we become familiar figures

as the American becomes recognized for one
Of race that was also subject to England 80
short time siuce, as he moves up and down
in that country, political missionary, spread
ing American ideas Of the rights of the people
and the province of government, none of those
now under the hand and heel of British
domination but will inquire among themselves,
why cannot we also do as these Americans
have done, and live for ourselves, no longer
the slaves of British tyranny? That Is the
question that will unsettle British dominion in
India, as 1t has unsettled 1t in many other
places, and that question, once fairly grown to a
mental power, will make rebellion not to be
put down by the blowing Of few men from the
mouths of English cannon, even with all the
refnements Of English atrocity. Here is our
case against England and hers against us. It
is because we are preparing the ruin of her
last hold for empire that she assails us with
such acrimony as characterizes present British
utterances

who held office under Johnson, for that reason

deal of holding in order to make it at all

In all the discussions which agitate the two
General Assemblies and their respective
churches we fail to find any recognition of the
great fact which is now developing among the
religions of the civilized world. History pre-
sents to us several instances when, under the
influence Of peculiarly excited condition, the
popular mind has thrown off the accumulated
teachings of human error and recurred to the
sublime truths of revelation. Such was the
outburst Of Moses against the Egyptian poly
tbesm, that which St. Paul taught against the
pagan religions Of Greece and Rome, and, in
a partial degree, those which Mohammed and
Luther respectively led against the accumula-
tions of degenerate Christianity. The mental
activity which Is following the developments
Of steam and electricity is preparing similar
outburst against the accumulatons OF modern
teachings. The Old and New Worlds of Euro
pean civilization are preparing for its coming,
and Japan, China and Hindostan are being
rapidly brought into the held where modern
theology will exhibit its grandest development
It is the decay Of the pure and simple religion
of our Saviour, the want Of that charity which
beareth all things, and It's failure to recognize
The spirit and influence Of the coming event,
that is sapping the life of the Presbyterian
Church, as IL ia that of all our other modern
and sectarian Churches. Neither temperance
nor any other Of the minor issues can save
them; nor will stringency Of rule in matters not
essential 70 religion restore them TO new life.

An incident of the sad side of life oc.
curredtn connection with the smallpox
hospltal.a week or two ago. A young
lady oflGerman parentage was taken
there to remain under treatment for the
smallpox, just at the time she was to
have been married to an estimable
young man connected with one of our
most flourishing business houses, Dav
after day he came to the Cincinnati Hos
pital, on Twelfth street, to hear from
his affianced bride. The time for the
wedding passed by, and the news came
to him that she was worse and must die.
With the characteristic devotion of a
woman, she sent him word not to
visit her or to be present at her
funeral. She also made the request
that she should be buried in her bridal
dress. SO, about the middle of last
week, in the white vestments with
which she was TO have been arrayed at
the marriage altar, she became the
bride of death. In the hearing OF ten
der though strange voices ahe had pas
sed away. The hands OF strangers
clad her in the bridal garments and
laid her in the coffin. Tha eyes of
strangers dropped tears as they closed
the coffin lid over her, and thought of
what she was, OF what she had hoped
TO be, and of the one heart left sad By
her departure. Friends, but not old
ones, saw her deposited in the earth,
and marked the spot. that those who
knew her well might find her resting
place.-Ci1l. Cd<eESe.
