'late lamented," :" or is he only wandering in
his mind under the presence of the abomina-
tions which he has helped bring upon our
country Nothing can be palmer than the
Il nth he states that there Is no hope for Anne
rican liberty except in the Independence and
rights OF the States" That sentence alone is
like a death-warrant to the radical party,
which has spent all its force in overthrowlng
the independence and rights of the States for
the purpose Of fixing negro equality upon the
white people of the Southern States, and ultl-
mately of enforcing negro voting over the
whole country.
But at last this fierce organ Of the worst
type of radical mongrelsm shrinks with alarm
from the consequences of this long and bloody
crusade upon the rights and independence Of
the States. May we take it for sign of re-
turning reason among the most violent OF the
politically insane ? May we hope that the
same signs of repentance will, before long,
appear in the columns of the Tribune, the
Times and other papers which have so
persistently sneered at State rights, and up
held Federal despOtism, for more than six
horrid years
But if the Evening Post is repeutaut, there
is now an opening for it to expostulate with
Congress- for the Judiciary Committee have
fixed upon bill which actually abolisbes the
constitutions of the States in the most vital
matter of controlling their own suffrage. This
bill even goes SO far as to put heavy fines
and imprisonment upon all who demur to its
dictum in this particular. 1t proposes to use
the prisons, which are the sole property aud
institutions of the States, to inoaroerste tue
citizens thereof for obeying their own con-
stitutions, which every State officer has to
take a solemn oath to 'obey, protect, and
defend" 1t is said that "whom the gods wish
to destroy they first make mad;" but this is
no madness brought about by the gods-it is
DEVILS madness, and it ought to send to the
devil every villain who proposes such a
measure.

1t is curious illustration of what may be
not uncivilly called the IribuneS congenital
incapacty of comprehending questions of
political economy, that it necessarily dis
cusses the issues of free trade or protection as
if it were purely American issue, and an
issue not of fundamental laws regulating the
Intercourse of man with man, but of partisan
manWuvring for local victories. Thursday,
for example, it got into a dreadful passion
with the Evening Post of this city as being the
insidious representative of the heresies of
"Calhoun, McDuffe, R. J. Walker" etc., in a
church whose pillars are and should be
alexander Hamilton Henry Clay, Hezekiah
Niles, Rollin C.. Mallory" etc. etc. 1t de-
clares that for its part it would be willing to
live, "being protectionist, with Republicans
who are traders, on the basis of mutual
toleration"
We should like to see "basis of mutual
liberation" laid down on which the believers
in economical law could stand up beside the
example, the wood-sorew swindle of the East
ern manufacturers, or the copper mine swindle
OF the Lake Superior speculatOrs
What the Tribune cannot understand is the
simple fact that the world moves. 1t gables
about dead men and local notorieties, aud the
Tariff of 1925" and obligations of party, ("
Just as composedly as if the science of politi-
cal economy were in this year of grace 1869
just where it was when Sir Walter Raleigh
| caught glimpse of its great truths among
the crowded wharves and on the busy msrts
of Holland three centuries ago.
However, the Tribune fifty represents its
party. 1t represents the morals of its party
when it applauds the spectacle of that moral
cripple, Fenton, taking up his bed and walk,
ing into the Federal Senate. 1t represents the
intelligence of its party when it finds stale
chapter and smoke-dried verse for the super
animated fiscal devices of its tariff mOpgering
leaders.

"Now that General Grant is elected and is

In the opinion OF many good men, for the Re-

China Advancing.

From The ". Y. Herald.
The news from China shows that the old
exclusive empire is advancing with the age.
Hhe Burlingame mission and the manner in
which it has been received are producing the
best effects upon the Chinese Government and
people. Steam and the telegraph will do
much more. 1t is really surprising to see how
the former exclusive regulations and inter
course with regard to foreigners are breaking
down one by one. The Yang Chow affair has
been settled satisfactorily, and the Chinese
Government, under the liberal policy of Prince
Kung, has proclaimed freedom of action and
protection to foreign religious establishments,
missionaries, and travellers. Americans are
working at the Chefoo gold mines as freely
and as safely as they could in their own
country. Evidently an extraordinary revolu-
tion is going on in China. Now is the time for
our enterprising citizens to extend their inven-
tions and trade with the empire, and for the
East India Telegraph Company and the Pacific
Telegraph Company to lay their cables to
China and along its coasts. Looking at the
liberal disposition of the Chinese Govern
ment, there appears no reason to doubt that
concessions would be made for telegraphs in
the interior If the concession already granted
for line along the coast to connect the prin-
cipal cities and seaports were carried out. Now
is the time for American enterprise to get
strong foothold in that rich and populous
empire.

who It may be assumed would hold in favor of
Confederate bondholders. There is nothing
in the treaty TO show that the COM
missioners may not demand that
question be withdrawn from the commission
and submitted to foreign potentate after
as well as before 1t has been passed upon by
the umpire selected by themselves.
II is, perhaps, worth noting that the Com
missioners are to have six months for the re-
oeption of claims, two years for their decision
If decided by themselves, six months more
for the submission of any claim to a foreign
potentate and eighteen months after it's final
decision for payment, during which time the
claims run without interest. This postpone
ment of the payment Of all claims allowed for
four years without interest is equivalent to a
reduction of their amount by nearly or quite
one-fourth. In short, we think there are suf-
hcient evidences in the professed draft to
brand it as an utter failure, fraud on Ameri-
can claimants, and a treaty which the Senate
will overwhelmingly refuse to sanction.

The House Instructing the Senate.

From The ". Y. Herald
1t is said petition is being circulated in
the house Representatives for the signatures
of members to ask the Senate not to confirm
any more nominations that may be sent in by
President Johnson. Now, while we think it
would comport better with good taste for the
retiring President to leave appointments not
necessary to be made to the incoming Presi-
dent, we cannot ignore the fact that Mr.. John
son is the actual Executive, and has the right
to do what he is doing. But this interference
on the part of the House of Representative is
an impertinent assumption. They were not sent
TO Washington for any such purpose; they
have nothing whatever to do with ap-
pointments, and they are step.
ping Beyond their duties. The Senate
will know how to act without instruction
from the House, and it ought not to pay any
attention to such petition as that which is
being circulated. When any nomination
comes before the Senate the question should
not be made political or partisan one, but
simply, will the public service be promoted
or not9 No rule should be made that will not
allow Senators to act freely at any time upon
this principle.

The sole end of its creation was the
behoof of an institution which al
lovers of humanity and freedom have
abhorred. The treason was per-
petrated, not as all other treasons Of
the age have been, against super
animated monarchy in the last stages
of decay, but against a free republic,
filled with the lusty vigor of youth,
already the envy and admiration Of
the world, and yet, but at the very
start, as it were, of a career grand
beyond all example or conception.
From what point of view this treason
is regarded, it stands out clearly and
unnistakably unparalleled in human
history. We are, as yet, too near to
it fully to aprehend its real measure
ment AS the traveller, when before
the pyramid of Ghizeh, finds it i'm
possible to adapt his senses to its
immelsity, is half inclined to count
it no reat affair after all, and only
gets list notions of it when he with
drawsto the distance, and surveys
it as outlined against the sky, so we
near Observers Of this pre-eminent
iniquiy fail to estimate its real pro-
portions, and it will not be fully COM
pretended until viewed in the per-
spectiw of history. 1t will be for
the future Macaulays and Italians
to guaee it, and depict it in all its
infernal monstrosity. But while we
wait for another generation to pass
its exat judgment. don't ask this
one to soften it down, or to take it
for anything else than what our
everyday senses show it to be.
Nothing could be worse calculated

So far fiom winning the generous
feelings Of the heart, it lashes them
all to an honest indignation. Any
extent of charity and forgiveness, we

blinded and misled, with whom we
hope to walk hereafter in peace; but

The Coming Man Of the West.

We had call yesterday from an old friend,
Hon. Matt. Ell. Carpenter, Senator from Wis
consin. Although the interval since the ad-
journment of the Senate has been spent in
the active duties of his immense law practice,
the Senator looks fresh, vigorous, and un worn
as he used to when he was gaily working his
way to the head of the Wisconsin bar, and
long before he allowed politics to allure him
from the profession which he had so much
adorned.
1t is only Of late that he has been known
to the East, and although he took rank at
once last spring as the peer of the best
lawyers ond debators in the Senate, there are
few here who can appreciate the certainty
with which his own constituents count on his
becoming as strong representative of the
West as ever Douglas was, with the added
advantages of thorough and wide literary
culture, splendid gift of orotory, and per-
sonal presence before which "the little
Giant would have looked stunted and insig-
nificant.-New York Eaening Mail.

cnr,ous speeulatlens on the Subject

Curious SpeeuIatIons on the Subject
The London Spectator has curious specu-
lation upon the "Solar Mutability,' the sci
entifc basis of which is in the following facts!
The sun has been shown to be subject to
variations in brightness and heat, whlch en-
title it to be called a variable STAR These
changes are periodical, land are pretty certain.
Iy connected with magnetic storms" on
earth, which take place when the spots on
the surface of the sun are agitated. On Sep
TENDER 1, 1859, the most remarkable OF these
storms that has been observed took place, and
all the telegraphic wires of both hemispheres
were disturbed. In some places severe shocks
were felt by operators, and even flames ap.
peared in the Instruments; at night magnif.
cent auroras were seen. Another similar
storm is expected in 1870, astronomers believ.
ing that it will recur every eleven years.
The Spectator believes that mems minds are
greatly Influenced by the agitations going on
in the sun, 1t says:
"And we now know that these appearances
are not merely matters for the curious, with
which, as they happen at distance of above
ninety millions miles, practical men need not
concern themselves. In point of fact 1t is by
no means impossible that the issues of peace
or war, of a financial crisis or religious agi'
tation, may be closely bound up with these
phenomena if not, indeed-which is also
quite posSible-the sudden disappearance OIL
our whole system, after the fashion of other
solar systems which have thus disappeared
This much, at least is certain, that the vast
changes now going on in the physical con.
stitntion of the sun are changes which dc
NEST powerfully affect the electric condition
of our earth, which have in former years
caused the most violent disturbances IN the
various artificial as well as natural electric
apparatuses of the world we live in, which
to speak of the least of all it's possible effects
might just as well as not happen some day to
throw the electric condition of every tele
graphic cable on our planet, under the sea OF
above it, into the most dire confusion, and
send down telegraph companies shares to
zero in lump, even if they did not contrive
to telegraph to US, after some strange III
articulate fashion, that shares in all public
companies. even in that very limited public
company, the human race, are, in a physical
point of view, of very doubtful value indeed
Some of the British writer's try to make 6
frst-class sensation" of the matter. few
years ago small star suddenly blazed into
great brightness and burned out, and the
spectroscope showed that the flame was
burning hydrogen. Now it is certain that
the sun contains an immense amount o.
hydrogen, and at times sends up flames many
thousands of miles. What would be the re-
suit if the sun should develop blaze like
that of the star so recently lost ''The eartl
would be turned into vapor." says leading

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.-On the
8th OF August next will occur one of the
most interesting eclipses of the sun that
have or will occur in the United States
for many years, and will be total plotting
out for time of that luminary. In the
parlance of astronomers, "this same
eclipse" that is, an eclipse caused by the
same means, occurred a little less than
eighteen years ago-in 1851-and, though
not total in this latitude, was truly IN
teresting, and caused some speculations
among the learned. On this occasion the
eclipse begins at sunrise in the Pacific
Ocean, east of Japan, and becomes total
first upon the earth in Siberia. 1t is total
at noon in Alaska, and ends in the ocean
at sunset just north of Beaufort, North
Carolina. The line of the total eclipse is
as follows: Running southeasterly, it
grazes the coast near Sitka, thence runs
off into British America, and enters the
United States near the origin of Milk
River; thence it runs through the south
west corner of Minnesota, diagonally
through Iowa, crossing the Mississippi
River, near Burlington, Iowa, thence
through Illinois, just north of Springfield,
and crossing the Ohio River near Louis.
vile, Kentucky, thence through the
southwest corner of West Virginia, thence
to New Berne and the Ocean. Thus il
will be seen that the eclipse will not be
total in this section, but it will be nearly
so, or eleven diglts in size. 1t will begin
at 4:34 P. M. and end at 6:26 P. NJ.
