Tho Union League Club and tho Late
Edwiu NJ. Stan, on-DIr. stewards PROPOSE
tion.
On Saturday evening last, at special
meeting of the Union League Club, Mr..
Charles Bull, Senior Vice President, in the
chair, a series Of appropriate resolutions,
offered by MIR. w. G. Bryant, were adopted,
in recognition of the great public services
of the late Edwin NJ Stanton (Which we
published yesterday, after which, on motion
of Colonel lie Grand Cannon, it was resolved
that committee of five be appointed to
prepare an address, to be given before the
Club on the life, character and services OF
the late Secretary of War.
Mr.. A. L. Stewart, man who always has
an eye to substantial business results, then
took the floor, and moved that the same
committee be requested to report any way
OF offering further testimony of esteem to
the deceased they may think Gt And we
think we can tell what this means. 1t means
that our late War Minister, who was entrusted
with the disposition and who disposed Of o.
thousand millions and more Of the public
money, died comparatively poor; that he
made no money in his great office; that
while living he declined the offers from his
fellow citizens which, we think, he might
wisely have accepted, and that Mr.. Stewart
is willing to cooperate in movement to
make comfortable in their circumstances the
widow and children of the deceased.
This, we think, is what Mr.. Stewart was
is that of patriot and public benefactor but
we hold that something more than this is due
in recognition of the public services of Stan
ton. We hold that Congress, in generous
pension to his family, can best express the
respect of the two houses for the memory OF
the faithful public officer, and that such pen
sion should be voted, with the necessary
appropriation. We consider it disgrace only
to the government that General Grant, in
order to make both ends meet at the end OF
the war, felt it duty, as il was under the
circumstances, to accept the generous offerings
made him from his fellow citizens. 1t is dis
grace to the government that the widow Of ex-
President Lincoln has been compelled to make
her home in Germany for the sake Of economy,
when pension Of few thousands year
would have enabled her to live comfortably in
her own country. Congress should avoid
similar disgrace in the case Of Stanton; nor
should Senator Sumner abandon his bill for
pension to Mrs. Lincoln. Fidelity in office is
not rewarded, and that is one great reason
why public rogues are so numerous in this
country.

The Winnipeg Rcvolution-' Manifest Des-
tiny, and Our National Administration.

The Winnipeg RcvOiufiOD-"uantfest Des.
tiny, and Our National Administrator.
The so-called Winnipeg rebellion has as
sumed the form Of revolution. 1t appears
that declaration of independence has been
issued in the name of the provisional govern
ment as republic of Ruperts Land and the
Northwest Territory, signed by John Bruce,
as President, and Louis Rielle, as Secretary
that In this declaration it is proclaimed that
forty thousand in number, we suspect), have
heretofore respected the authority Of the COM
pany of adventurers known as the Hudson
Bay Company which circumstances had placed
over them, unsatisfactory as was this govern
ment; but that as it has abandoned them by
transferring to a strange Power Che New
Dominion) the sacred authority confided to it,
the people concerned have become free from
all allegiance to said government that they
repudate the authority OF Canada that they
will not have Governor McDougall and his
companions to rule over them; that the people
Of said Northwest Territory have accordingly
set up government for themselves that they
are ready to treat with the Canadian or New
Dominion government; but that meantime, In
support of their declaration, ''relying on the
protection of Divine Providence. we mutually
pledge on oath our lives, our fortunes and our
eacred honor"
1t further appears that the offer to treat with
,the Canadians ia a mere ruse that an inde-
pendent government is the 1Itimatum Of these
Gor'westers; but that, a. "shs English speak
Ing portion Of the people have as yet no dele
CATION In the council, the revolutionists do not
want to announce their designs until the
Cooperation aud unity Of the whole
settlement has been secured, after which
they will make bold strike for independence =
This reference to ''the English speaking por-
tion" Of the people indicates that these revolu-
Nonists are Of French origin-the descendants
of French Canadians and half breeds, who, as
trappers in the service Of the Hudson Bay
Company, have formed these northwestern
settlements. We know, too, that from the
Overthrow Of French authority In the Canadas
by Wolf at Quebec to this day the French
Canadians, wherever found, have been chalng
tnder the rule Of England, and have been and
hre always ripe for revolt,

REFORM IN TIE RUNNING OF STREET CARS
We learn that the Third Avenue Railroad Com
pany will be the first to inaugurate the new
proposed system of stoppages of tho street
cars. The even numbered cars, it is said, will
stop only at the lower crossings Of the even
numbered streets on the down trips and at the
upper crossings Of the same streets on the re-
turn trips. The odd numbered cars, alternat-
ing with those having even numerical desgna-
tions, will In like manner stop at tho odd
numbered streets. They viii also, 1t is said
have scmcircular track at the lower end of
the City Hall Park, in order to avoid changing
the teams from one end to The other of the
cars. There will then be no stoppages except
90 above stated until the cars return TO the
starting point, and but one "starter." By the
adoption Of this reform the round trip will be
lessened one-quarter, and great strain will be
taken GQm The hQrses,

Our CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN Cor
REsPoNDENoE.-We present our readers to- day
with budget Of letters from Central and
South America. The Panama communication
shows the feeling with which the news of the
Darien Canal undertaking was received on the
Isthmus. From Chile we learn that the suf-
rage question has received some degree of
attention, and possibly before long reforms
will be introduced which will meet with gene
raj favor in the Chilean republic. The Morales
revolution has collapsed 10 Bolivia. The Drey-
fus loan has been decided in Peru, yet there
are fears that the question is not definitely
settled. The loan is unpopular, and though
the President is in favor of it, the matter will
not be allowed to rest. Taken altogether, the
news furnished is exceedingly interesting.

News from China and japan.

By the arrival Of the steamship China at
from China via Hong Kong up to November
10, and Japan via Yokohama, December 2.
General Van Valkenburg. late United States
Minister to the Court of the Mikado, with his
suite, were passengers by the China. The
most important items of news from China are
the confirmation of the ratification of the
Buringame treaty with the United States and
the notifications in the treaty with England
insisted on by the British government. These
latter comprise an alteration in the schedule
of transit dues between the two countries, the
opening of two new ports in China-Wachau
aid Manchau-to trade and commerce, the
working of coal mines by foreign appliances, a
reduction in the duty on native COAL the franz
ing of code Of mercantile laws applicable to
all countries, the reference to the Supreme
Court at Hong Kong of all international civil
suits that may arise, and some less important
points bearing on proper carrying out Of the
articles Of the treaty. The yohng Emperor of
China, it is stated, will be placed on the
throne early in the coming year. The Duke
of Edinburg had arrived at Shanghae and was
very cordially welcomed and rendered the
hospitalities of the city. The China brought a
valuable cargo Of silks and teas and another
instalment of FIVE hundred and twenty Chinese
and Japanese emigrants.
From Japan we learn that the Mikado had
pardoned the Tycoon and Prince Aidzu, the
leader in the late rebellion. An attempt to
assassinate the Tycoon had been frustrated.
Rumors of anticipated troubles were rife but
the government was paying no attention to
them The English Minister to Japan had
been warned Of the existence of a conspiracy
to assassinate him. A treaty with the repre-
sentatives of foreign governments had been
ratified, by which the trading with unopened
ports by foreigners is prohibited. Mr.. Delong,
the new American Minister, had arrived at
Jeddo and was presented to the Mikado. Two
English sea captains -Carnes, of the shipJ. G.
Taylor, and Peterson, of the Runnymede-
were drowned while returning to their vessels,
anchored in the harbor of Yokohama, by the
capsizing Of their boats. For further parti-
culars of the intelligence brought by the
China we refer our readers to our telegraphic
news column, and which will be found of
special and general interest.

THE DARIRN CANAL. Panama we
have news of the reception of the HERALD's
information regarding the prospects Of the
cutting of canal across the Isthmus. We are
glad to see that there is healthy interest
eyinced in the proposed undertaking, and that
the people Of Colombia are alive to the advan-.
tages Of the great work We arc assured by
the President Of the United States of Colombia
that the republic is ''dsposed to do all within
her power to forward that great undertaking."
We hope no unnecessary delay will retard the
fitting out Of the expedition to make the pre-
liminary surveys preparatory to the commence
ment Of the cutting from ocean to ocean.

THE CHURCHES YEsrERDAY.-We give our
usual full report Of the religious services
observed in the churches yesterday, the ser
mons and special utterances of the pastors on
things celestial and terrestrial, and which will
be found in another column. Parson Beecher
was more than usually himself and said some
things better and more telling than is even his
wont. lie was particularly severe on news
paper men, whom he denounced, and declared
their conversion doubtful, not excepting our
special reporter who is so close an attendant
of his church and so faithful a recorder of his
sayings and inculcations. The topics treated
of were :-"Christian Meekness,' by Beecher;
Christianity and Its Triumphs," ''The Angel
Gabriel Not to be Had on Five Dollars a
Month, 'The Incarnation" 'The Resurrec-
ton, &c. Notwithstanding the inclemency Of
the weather all the places Of worship were well
attended.

Oar Pagan Population and Our New De.
m0cratic Legislation.

mOcratic Lc0lslutlOns
The curious and interesting description
which we published yesterday Of the Pagan
population Of New York was confined to the
few Chinese within our gates. But it might
well have also embraced the vast number of
practical pagans, who worship not God bat
only mammon; who are always ready to seize
the opportunities which Wall street offers for
swindling honest stockholders; who can forge
and counterfeit, and pick pockets and commit
burglary, and even murder; who skulk from
detection In overcrowded tenement houses
those nests of crime as well as poverty and
disease and death; who glory in their shame
as patrons of pugilism, dog fighting, cock fight
ing and all kinds Of brutal sports; who are
known and feared by policemen and private
citizens as selection roughs," that actually
rule the city and live on public spoils who,
in fine, include all the vagabonds of all races
and complexions and of both sexes that make
up the rotten, fostering, pestiferous mass
which we call 'the dangerous classes" New
York had a taste of their quality during the
terrible riots of 1868.
AT the next meeting Of our State Legislature
we may expect pretty general overhauling of
the existing commissions, which now act inde-
pendently Of the Mayor and Common Council
II is.posslble and probable that all these com
missions may be fused together and put under
the supervision OF the Mayor and Common
Council. We shall, then, ere long discover
whether the promised reconstruction of our
city government will diminish or enlarge the
privileges claimed and enjoyed by ''the dan
gerous classes" in our community. The first
object of the democrats will be to strengthen
their hold upon the State. But they will not
neglect their interests or the claims of their
faithful tools in this city. We shall watch
with special interest the action OF the next
democratic Legislature. Whatever may be its
result, twill, unquestionably, be more interest
ing and important to the citizens of our me-
tropoltan district than any subject which has
agitated New York for the last fifty years

PERU AND PARAGUAy.-Peru sympathizes
in the struggles of Paraguay against the
aggressions Of Brazil and her allies. This
feeling is not Of recent origin. 1t dates good
way back, and was the cause of the suspen-
sion Of diplomatic relations between Peru and
the Brazilian empire for some time. The
Peruvian government is again beginning to
regard the persecution Of the Paraguayan
people as aggressive towards republican insli-
tutions generally in South America. This is
the correct view to take of the war now waged
against Paraguay, and the sooner other South
American republics have their eyes opened to
this fact the better II may yet prove for their
future naAcs-

Tie Herald Correspondents and the Pm
triarch Of C0nstautinOple.

In the HERALD of yesterday we published the
result Of an interview which our correspondent
had with the 'Ecumenical Patriarch" the
Bishop OF Constantinope. 1t is the first time
we believe in the history Of journalism that any
representative of the press has been so highly
favored and so frankly dealt with. We are
proud of this honor for our own sake, for the
sake of American journalism, and for the sake
Of this great country, of which the Patriarch
spoke 80 handsomely as the Country Of the
future" The PATRIARCH remarks were charac-
terized by great common sense. He did not
think much Of the Ecumenical Council. It
was based falsa principle. AN the divi-
sions of Christendom were the result, directly
or indirectly, Of the pretension, arrogance
and usurpation of Rome. In the olden time
the Pope was only "P,amus inter parcs, the
first among equals. sThe early Christian
Churches, and the Churches of Russia,
Greece and other countries in communion
with them, may be looked upon as forming
in certain sense Christian confederation-a
kind Of United States" Such was the Lam
guage of our correspondent. Precisely, said
the Patriarch; ''that gives the idea to great
degree. Each Church had during the first
centuries autonomy in administration and in
affairs of local character each country was
allowed to use its own language in the ritual
as well as to have all sacred books in the
vernacular tongue. In everything relating to
the doctrine and discipline Of the whole
Church council of the whole Church alone
had authority" In the opinion of the Patri-
arch ''for any man to claim that he is the
| Vicegerent of God and infallible is nothing
less than blasphemy." This interview will
command attention far and wide; and wher-
| ever it commands attention it will furnish
proof that the race Of Ulysses and Of Themis-
tocles has not quite forgotten its cunning, and
that the Church, which in the days of Chrysos-
tom stood at the head of Christendom, has not
after long ages of oppression entirely lost Its
spirit. In the principles laid down by the
Patriarch Of Constantinople we can see basis
for the Church of the future.
