GOVERNMENT BY GARTER.

ROYAL orders have done good service in their
day, or Her Majesty's servant who sent a note
to the British Coumbians which their annexa-
tionists now deem an insult, would not be
called Earl Granville. TO what special order
the new Canadian knights belong; whether
financial Sir Francis Hincks is Companion of
tho Bath merely, and whether Sir John
Mcdonald is Commander; whether Sir Francis
Doyle is q spurred champion Of the new order
of st. Michaels, whose honors are thrown
away upon colonial politicians; and whether
Sir John Young, Governor General. is a true
Knight of the Royal Order Of the Garter. we
have not the means of ascertaining. Canada
has her baronets and may have her marquises ;
she has her dominion and may have her king
dom, if only her sovereign and untitled
democracy like it. Still, we confess to no admi-
alton of this ruling by diplomas and titles. this
governing with the baton of master of cere-
monies. Did We in all gallantry imagine the
wand of fairy queen calling up out Of the
vastly shalowness of British American politics
knights and barons where before were but
plain Jacobs and Ebenezers, we should not be
at all exhilarated. Canada would be- as ever,
a poor school for social genufexion, and bet
ter ground for thrift without humbug, and
craftsmanship without decoration. Ruling by
garter and bringing up by hand, though tho
Queen be Victoria, and her premier Mr.. Glad
stone do not constitute, it seems to us, the
most natural and indigenous way of managing
a People who have wilderness to open and a
Pacific Railroad to build.
Thus reason, perhaps, the Nova Scotians and
those British Columbans who are begging the
Queen for separation and tho President for
annexation, with peculiar reference to the in
consistency of a Confederation which can only
impose new burdens upon them without yield
ing them adequate protection. The Red River
folks, in their wild, half-bred fashion. have
also protested against garter government IA

communication in another column discusses
the pecuniary value of immigration to this
country. The writer takes broad ground and
makes case that will challenge criticism but
whatever fault may be found with his deduc-
tions, his premises will stand the closest scrutiny.
He argues that the acquisition of labor
force is a positive gain so far as its production
exceeds its cOst-that is, what it takes to sup
port it-that a skilled workman, or any
workman, adds just so much to the wealth Of
the people as he creates over his net expenses
for living. He estimates the capital
value Of an ordinary farm hand at
$1,000; that is, every such laborer
coming from abroad to reside here adds that
much to the wealth of the country. Besides
their brains and sinews, the atoms that make
up the great tide of immigration bring with
them absolute money to an aggregate seldom
appreciated. This years influx will exceed
800 900, of whom third will be able-bodied work
ers Rated at only ST. 900 each, they will contribute
one hundred millions, besides their spare cash,
to the productive and consequently the actual
capital of the nation. This question, though
familiar to scientists, will be novel to many
people. and is well worth general attention.

There is something rather amusing in whole
family having souabble concerning the dis
tribution of the portraits of their ancestors.
and getting to blows about the same. This II
what occurred, however, a few days since, IN
Plainfeld, CT. One brother assaulted another
with a cane; one Of the combatants was de-
prived of his Shirt which was torn in streamers
from his person; and one lady performed
prodigies of valOr with the family carving
knife--that implement which is so suggestive
of the pleasures of the social board! The
whole town of Plainfeld was agitated by the
occurrence, especially as all the parties are de-
clared Ito be rich and respectable" 1t is well
for them that they are; for that little demon
stration with the carving-knife was rather q
serious business.

The well-informed correspondence on our
second page from Mexico and the Argentine
Confederation represents a more creditable
state of affairs in those Republics than is
usually brought to our attention. While the
Argentines, under President Sarmiento, arc
educating, colonizing, and building railroads
and bridges, Mexico continues to be victim
to the pronouncers. But we do not do her half
justice in saying this, for it is plain that her
Government has managed to keep its seat with
exceeding skill on the back of q mustang Of
revolutions. Great respect, likewise, should be
given to the statement that the land which
seventy -four years ago had but twelve schools
worthy of the name, has now 3,742 schools,
with an attendance of 276,S54 scholars. There
is an Inconsistency between the in
crease of the Mexican population at large
and the decline of their chief capital
for which we cannot account; but the statistics
elsewhere given are nevertheless interesting.
Unhappily for every well-meant effort to re-
port Mexico at its best, her most Infamous
criminal, Maj.-Gen. CantO, remains untried.
Until this great scandal is removed, the Gov
eminent of Mexico assuredly stands on trial
for murder in the first degree.

1t gives us pain to state that the lecture on

But while the people have been thus con
slant, her aspiring, pushing politicians have
been good and bad in streaks-some streaks
rerp bad. To go no further back than 1866,
the Legislature of that year Chosen with the
Lincoln Electors in 1864, and overwhelmingly
Republican, managed to choose as U. s.
Senator for six years Mr.. Daniel S. Norton,
who took the seat and still sticks to it, voting
every time in palpable Ostentatious defiance Of
the party to which he professed to belong
when elected, and to a great majority of his
constituents. We presume he will do so to
the end of his term.
At the State Election OF 1862, Mr.. Ignatius
Donnelly, young lawyer recently from Penn
sylyania, was nominated for Congress by the
Republicans of the lid (St. Paul. District, and
elected. He was renomnated and reelected in
1854. and again in 1866; receiving the full sup
mort of his party. In 1865 he desired fourth
nomination, which the Convention did not see
az to accord him; whereupon he bolted, and
made himself stump candidate. Fearing the
loss of the district. the regular candidate with

The observance, yesterday, of the truly
American, and, at last, we may properly say,
National Day of Thanksgiving, was commend
ably general. We have not before seen so
general suspension of business nor have we
ever recorded day of the kind so free from
the sins and sOrrows common to great
city and O great country. The genial temper
AZURE, the bright Autumn sunshine, the cessa-
ton from partisan conflict, the satisfaction of
all good men with the financial condition
of our great Government, the crafty
ing progress of our work of recOnstruc-
ton, the general disposition to let the sOftening
influences of time cast mellow shade over
the sad memories of the war, the irresistible
tendency of our best people TO forgive and
forget the past and bring us all into that
"Union, one and indivisihe," for which the
great Massachusetts, statesman prayed, the
natural gratitude to Him who doeth all things
well, united in one universal expression Of true
Thanksgiving. Never before have the American
people, and the strangers within their borders,
felt so impressively and celebrated so unanimous
ly this honored anniversary. We record the facts
with unalloyed satisfaction, and trust that all
kind friends who were happy themselves ana
made others happy yesterday, may live to enjoy
many and even more widely celebrated days
of THANKSGIVING.

In other times, Mr.. Thomas Carlyle used to
laugh wildly, and not very beautifully, at the
idea of "Quasheen going to school, "Quashee"
developing his intellect. and all that sort of
thing. In those days, poor "Quashee" had
not much chance of going to school, and as
little chance of finding out that he even had
an intellect. But now it is "Quashee's" turn
to laugh ut the ideas of the bewildered phil
osopher, as he, "Quashee,' brings to his books
such intellect as has been developed by the
help of the preposterous schools 1t appears
by the facts given in the report OF the Super
intendent of Freedmen's Schools in the South
ern States, that hundreds of thousands of col
ored boys and girls are now engaged in learn
ing that alphabet and grammar which enabled
Mr.. Carlyle to write, and which will enable
them to read even the Later Day Pam
"phlets." Mr. Carlyle will doubtless be happy
to have them all subscribe for the new edition
of his works which he is getting out in his old
age, but which he ought certainly to revise In
some particulars-and especially in regard to
the particular laughing-stOck he found IN an
intellectual "Quashee."
