NEW YORK.

New YoHK. May 1.-THE Times, in
speaking Of the recent advance 10 gold,
says: "Uader an administration OF re-
trenchment, economy and revenue col
lection, the premium on gold ought to
fall, and the public credit in all respects
be strengthened. Such large, quick and
unexpected advance as that of the last
month, deranges business, and works
greatly to the detriment of the mersan-

the carrying out Of the ideas Of General
Grants inaugural, with a sound treasury
policy and a proper treasury administra-

The main plank in the platform OF TINS
party, then, was understood to be eppos'-
ton to the Radical party. That was the
great sine qua non which united us under
one partisan flag We named our new
organization without reference to princl'
pie, as man would call his favorite rid
inr horse Stonewall JACKSON, without
any particle of likeness between the
two, by which the memory of the old

Now, one word to our contemporary OF
the Union and american, who is so
fond of caressing Andrew johnson.
In swinging round the circle, this old
Rip Van Wrinkle journal says that we
d not spare its pet, the old deme-
gogueing tailor, and to use its own Ian
guage, when that gentleman was laboring
to restore to the people the rights Of
which they had been deprived by an
arrogant and usurping faction. Will
some one who is on terms of intimacy
with the editor of this sheet be so kind as
to inform him of what has been passing
before the eyes of every one awake in the
country how the very faction that he
speaks of as having deprived us of our
rights was headed and spoke into exist.
ence by no less parsonage than
Andrew johnson, the man whom he
now caresses with such fond affection?
And as to this old politician going
round laboring to restore us to our lost
rights, it is contrary to what he himself
states his purpose to be. If we mistake
not, and every one can see by looking at
the published speeches of Andrew John
son that we are correct, he said his pur-
pose was to spend the remainder of his
days in vindicating his political record;
not to free us from the chains he himself
placed upon US, but to defend bis own
record against the attacks Of his enemies.
When this declaration came out, we
thought it not wrong to assist the gentle
man in bringing his record properly be-
fore the people whom he was addressing.
Our action was fully approved by our
friends, and we are now content.
In a line to the Republican Banner
we would say that, in supposing Mr..
Swingley one of the editors of this pa
per, it has fallen into an error. That
gentleman has nothing whatever to do |
with the LEDGER, and is not responsible
for anything appearing in its columns.
We would beg our friend of the Banner
to confze his attacks to the editor of
this paper, who feels himself capacitated
to take care of the LEDGER, snd to an
swer anything that may be launched at
him or his friends. The letter, as pub
Iished in the New York Imperidlist, was
intended as a private communication,
and therefore might have baen signed by
any number of the friends Of our paper
and the Empire.

THE vELocfPEDE AND THE PARK.-The
velocipede is an institution already. It
affords . graceful and splendid means Of get
ting over the ground for all who have good
muscles, quick eyes and tolerably hard heads.
Its cultivation promises to become first rats
sport also. But training ground better than
the streets Is wanted. Well, there is the Park,
every one says at once. Who would believe,
however, that this institution is ruled out or
the Park ? Who would guess that the Com
missioners are so slow as thatp They say IL
frightens the horses. Does It frighten them
more than the snow plough or more than .
locomotive? Nonsense. Horses have sense
enough to get used to everything. The veloci-
pede is entitled to admission in the Park, and
the Park is big enough even to give the culti-
vators of this sport course to themselves.
Govern the velocipedes in the Park by what
rules you choose, restrict them to certain
speed or certain quarter, but dc not exclude
them.

Mr.. Burlingame and his Chinese friends are,
1t appears, receiving every attention in the
French capital. According to an onicial
journal Mr.. Burlingame's position as chief OF
the Embassy Is entirely satisfactory to the
Emperor. The Ambassadors have not yet
been received by him, but formal audience
Is to be granted them on an early day. As we
have said on more than one occasion already,
the most cordial reception awaits the Ambassa-
doris at all the courts Of Europe. The mission,
In truth, is destined to be great success; its
fruit Is already revealing itself. The old bully
ing policy which has been followed by most Of
the European Powers towards the nations Of the
East Is played out. England has been greatly
to blame In this matter. At the present
moment Cinnamon are indignant because Of .
fresh outrage committed by British officials at
Yangtchow. So outrageous has been this pro-
oeeding that Englishmen resident in China
have raised their indignant protest against q
policy which, while It ID unjust, is also suicidal
One policy for Europe and another for Asia is
no longer safe. It begins to be seen that un-
less q change takes place and the Asiatjc
nations are treated like other civilized States
China may arise and surprise the world by her
strength. China has now warm friends in the
United States, and In the event Of another
war with England or with France and England
combined she might be backed by the strength
Of the United States on the one hand and that
Of Russia on the other. Such combination
would be certain to revolutionize India, and
might prove destructive Of French and British
power on the Asiatic Continent. There is but
one course which can now be followed with
safety, and that is to admit China into the
family Of civilized nations and treat her accord
ingly. This is the great aim Of the Burlingame
mission. The times are ripe for it; its success,
therefore, is certain. The initiation Of this
just policy viii rebound to the lasting honor
Of the United States.
