A NEW AMERICAN STEAMSHIP ENTER-
PRISE


The establishment Of a line of steamships
built, owned, and CONTROLLED by our own citi-
zens, to run across the Atlantic and through the
Mediterranean Sea- connecting with the various
lines sailing to China and the far East, by the
way of the Suez Canal is on enterprise deserv-
ing the immediate consideration and support
of our business men and capitalists.
Such Company has been chartered by our
State Legislature, under the title of "The
atlantic, Mediterranean and Oriental Steam
Navigation Company" with all the privileges
and immunities necessary to vast traffic in
freight and passengers This Company-Or-
ganized under the Presidency of Gen. Hiram
Walbrdge-proposes to run monthly line of
new frst-class iron screw steamships Quilt in
the United States) from this City and Norfolk
to Port Said. on the Suez Canal, touching at
all the principal commercial ports on the Med
iteuanean.
One of the leading OBJECTS of the Company
is the bringing, at low rates, of organized COM
munites of emigrants from the Southern part
of Europe, for settlement on lands to be pro-
vided by the Company il the Southern States
acting in concert with the various State au-
thOrities, so as to build up by such cOmmuni-
mites settlements that shall be in a great
measure elf-sustaining and independent from
the outset, and thus establishing colonies all
over these States, whereof each shall form
nucleus for rapid increase of their present
industrial population. All kinds of skilled
laborers, including mechanics and agricultur-
lists, with their families, and sufficient capital
to start WITH will be systematically encouraged
TO emigrate and settle on the rich lands, sew
eral million of acres of which will be at the
disposal of the Company, at moderate prices
and on liberal terms.
The time has now arrived when everything
is as favorable as it will ever be, without spe-
cial effort, for the establishment on perma-
nent foundation of great line of American
steamships sailing and carrying our mails
under our own flag, in ships built owned and
commanded, by our own citizens. ANY ald that
the National authorities can render, In idle
ships or material not in use and now on hand,
should be applied at once, if possible, to enable
this new Company to send pioneer steamship
to be present at the opening ceremonies OF the
Suez Canal on the 18th of November next. We
are informed that the Secretary of the Navy
is DESTROYS that the Company shall be enabled
to do this, and Admiral Porter has expressed
himself in the strongest terms in its favors de-
claring 1t to be essential to perfect develop
ment OF our National Marine; while Gen.

The motives which actuated Judas Iscariot
in the betrayal of his master have been made
the subject of good deal of theological COM
ment and some have thought that they were
not bad ones, but that he merely meant to
force the Savior into an assumption of his au-
thority as King of the Jews. The awkward
circumstances were the kiss and the thirty
pieces of silver. However, they have set up a
Church of st. Judas Iscariot in London, which
has neither title, creed, nor priest, but obeys
conscience" We all know what the con-
science of Judas led him to do with himself;
and we shall be sorry if the disciples of the
new church are induced to go and do likewise.
Some people cannot possibly be independent
in their views, without needessly shocking the
whole Christian world.

We complain sometimes of the hard, prosaic
character of the days in which we live; yet
the world never saw any which were fuller OF
romance and adventure. The escape OF the
Spanish exies from Fernando Pc seems like
bit out of Robinson CrusOe, or chapter from
the history of Baron Trenckj and under the
magical hand Of De Foe it might have been
expanded into book of abiding interest. The
narrative lacks none of the elements of that
truth which is stranger than fiction; and yet
this ia only one of countless incidents which
the morning journal chronicles with non
chaIance if not with indifference, butwhich will
have breathless interest for the reader of the
twentieth century. Such stories, like wine, must
be mellowed by age and have their niche OF
honor in history before the world will consent
really to enjoy them. 1t is something like the
sdng frOid with which we gaze upon line
landscape, and carry off the memory of 1t to
warm the winter of our discomfort There were
IA chivalrous things done during our War OF
the Rebellion as any which are chronicled In
the wondrous pages of Froissart; men are as
knightly now rs any embalmed in the foliOs of
Monstrelet; Philip de Confines has no Drawer
memoirs than ours; but we can never get into
the same relation to the present, which makes
all the past a land of infinite and abiding

The latest special deposit we have heard of
is that made by man who, being happily
possessed of $500 in bonds, hid the same
in an ash-hole. His wife made fire there
to smoke bacon. in consequence of which the
bonds nearly experienced the fate of John
Rogers. The owner sent the blackened and
charred remains to the Treasury for redemp-
ton, and after great labor they have been
identified and restored. But it is a serious
question whether man, by his consum-
mate folly, has any right to impose this work
upon the bureau of redemption. AT any rate,
he should be forced to pay a good, handsome
per centage on the amount found out by the
long land difficult scrutiny which his hiding
propensity-one of the meanest in the world
made necessary.

San Francisco has fallen from political
virtue. Some years ago she was under the
rule of rufians, chiefly emigrants from New
York, and the devil ran loose at her elections
But the people began to consider, and the re,
suit was decidedly favorable to good govern
ment. 1t now appears that the action of the
Democratic Convention for the nomination of
local officers is not well received, and the
present outlook is directly toward repe-
tition of the acts of 1856, unless the apparently
dominant party should be reformed or beaten.

The press of st. Louis will be delighted to
hear that voyage of exploration up Chicago
River disclosed the presence of 1907 well de-
fined and separate Ibad smells, which are duly
catalogued by the reporter for The Chicago
Tribune. These odOrs were caused by dstille-
ries, dead dogs, the corpses of cats, tanneries,
poisoned fish, malt from the breweres, the re-
fuse of slaughter and contributions
from the sewers. This odd bird of Chicago
reporter has made q most unfragrant report of
his own nest, and great will be the joy of st.
Louis, and exc of Cincinnati, thereat. The
only wonder experienced by us in reading the
report was that anybody should be living in
Chicago at this moment

The citizens of st. Louis are to common
crate the Humboldt Centennial in various
ways, and AMONG others 10y the establishment
of what O st. Louis newspaper calls "a Ge-
"ological Garden" We are a good deal at a
loss to know just what kind of pleasure
ground this may be, and we have thought that
it might be explained by the fact that lager is
sometimes to be observed not only in gardens
but in quartz. In Geological Garden" we
might also behold the blooming granite, the
odoriferous mica, the fruitful sandstone, and
the luxurant felspar, with all kinds of pri-
mary, secondary, and tertiary formations thriv-
ing in their respective beds. To mark these
while the band plays "0n yOnder rock reclin-
"ing," will be pastime very proper for the adj
mirers of the author of Cosmos" Unless, in

Mr.. p C.. Friese, to whose pamphlet letter
to the President and people We have already
devoted a few words, dedicates his White
Mans Party to the perpetuaton of the curse
of Canaan and the political determination, so
to speak, of damned niggers. The cornerstone
of his policy is the principle that all inter
course between the white race" and the
children of Ham is forbidden by the divine law.
Whenever tho two races have come together,
God has pulled them apart again. The cOnfu-
sion of tongues was providential device
for the separation of white folks from the
children of Ham but Ham has been perpetu-
ally getting the better Of us ever since, and
the divine labor of segregation has to be per-
petually repeated. 1t was repeated when the
Jews went up out of Egypt; it was repeated
again after they took possession of the land of
promise. Whenever we have held intercourse
with the accursed people we have repented it.
Rome would never have fallen if she had kept
away from Carthage, and France would have
remained republic had not the first Napoleon
become stuffed full with despotic notions
during his expedition to Egypt. The trouble
with the cOlored people is not their color, but
their Objectionable habits. In fact, as the trav
eler said of another people. Manners they
"have none, and their customs are disgusting"
They are all addicted to forbidden ordi-
nances-idolatry, centralized political power,
:" caste or aristocracy, polygamy, and slavery"
Here you see we have an entirely new and
original political catechsm. Q. Why is it
wicked to ride in the same car with o niggerR
A. Because he is an idolater. Q. Who were
the shareholders of the SOUTH A. The mig
gers. Q. Who are the aristocratsf A. The
nggers. Q. What is monarchy A. IL is a

which fOrbds niggers to marry On tho prin-
ciples of this catechism-suppOsing you could
get the people of the United States to adopt
them--there is no doubt that the new White
Mans Party might easily get control of every
State in the Union; but before the people

THE NEW CONSTITUTION,

The new Constitution, TO BIO voted for by
the people of the State of New York this Fall,
provides that the Legislature shall consist OF
139 Assemblymen, chosen by counties, instead
of 1913 chosen by districts, and 80 Senators
chosen by counties instead of the Same num-
Der chosen, as they now are, by districts. The
term of Office of Assemblymen is not changed
but that of Senators ia increased from two
years to four. BY other sections of the Constr
tuition it is provided that the Legislature which
may be in Office on tho 1st OF January 1859,
shall go out on tho 3ist of December of the
same year, and that the first election under
the new Constitution shall take place next
November
When these regulations were adopted it was
supposed that the last Legislature would make
all necessary provisions for submitting the
Constitution to the people at the last general
election, and that everything would be ready
for choosing officers under it this year. This
was not done, however and it is objected that,
as the Senators and Assemblymen this Novem-
Der must be chosen under the old apportionment
there being no existing authority to make a
new one), the new Legislature, if the Consttu-
ton be adopted, will be an illegal body.
his seems 10 us mere qulDDIe' LAWS
are to be interpreted by the obvious intention
of their trainers, and it appears perfectly
clear that the purpose OF the trainers of the
new Constitution was that the change of ap-
portionment should go into effect at the next
election after the acceptance Of the instrument
by popular vote. We do MT see why tho rules
of common sense should not prevail in the
Interpretation of public as well as private
compacts. 1t is plainly impossible to make
the changes provided for in the year 1869.
Well, then, let us be reasonable, and make
them in 1870.
