FRENCH IMIrATIoss.-One learns from the
Tribune, Of New York, that not one word of
Theirs remarkable speech was allowed to be
telegraphed abroad; and that the French Gov
ernment has systematically endeavored to de-
ceive Europe with reference to public opinion
in France regarding the war.
Admitting all this to be true, one is at loss
to know why the Tribune can find il matter
OF condemnation. Ii should, on the contrary
receive all such information with all the salts
faction with which father welcomes home
long-absent son.
Imitation is said TO be high order Of COM
pllment. III France is suppressing anti-war
speeches, and is systematically deceiving the
world az TO public opinion at home, it is pay
ing this Republic the compliment of initiating
Its course of action during our late war We
inaugurated this very style of doing business,
and the New York Tribune. was one of its
most cordial advocates. Why should il now
censure barbarOus Frenchman for doing what
was SO thoroughly done by enlightened Yam
keest If a cat may with iInpunity gaze upon
royalty, why may not ignorant and uuenlight-
ened French gaze upon and Initiate this great
and glorious nation?
But more: when in our Christianly and
majestic way Of carrying ON IA war we found
a Yankee Thers who made n speech against
the holy conflict for cotton and reelection to
Office, we not only suppressed the speech, but
Seward rang little bell, and, at once, the re-
cusant Yankee Thiers found himself in quod.
where he remained, without warrant trial or
charges, until q benignant Administration
was IN IA EumOr to release him. Now, TN ese
half-civilized Frcnchmnn have done nothing
of this sort. VI. ThicTs walks abroad sips his
cafe and his rim without being disturbed, and,
III voice qunking with senility, he probably
repeats his aut-war speech To his cronies. and
intersperses it with his novel views on the
benefits of prohibitory tariff.
1t Is barely possible that if Thiers had been
captured with bHre dt cIchst n IN Lincoln
Seward, and locked up to wage war with feas,
bugs, and his own cXhilaratiug thoughts for
companions, the Tribune would have been
satisfied.
But what can one expect? These benightcd

Boston, no Butler, no Sumner, no Horace
Greeley, no Grant, no John Brown, mo moth
ing, in short, which We have cannot be ex-
pccted TO do all that we do, or to succeed in

RALsToH on THE COoLIE QUESTION. Yester-
day morning an interview, short, but of u
most pointed and decisive character, took
place between the Secretary of the Auti-Chi-

tho Bank of California. The Secretary had
called on tn" very husIucs~-like errand of So
lCiting Mr.. RHlstuu tu invest few Of his idle
dollars in stock. hut his reception was such
that the real object of the call never came mp
on the tapiS AT all, and Mr. RulstOn has lost u
chance.
On being introduced to the King of tire
Blue Castle as the Secretary of the Anti
Chinese Laundry Company" Ralston, in
place of rendering the usual ciyilltirs to his
visitor, lcapcd from his chair, crying: "You re
curse to the country, and you have locked
up 100000 with your miserable 'eight-hour

HeaIth,s Best Defence,

''The weak eateth herbs, says st. Paul so that
1900 years ago the value of medicinal plants was
appreciated. In the Old Testament botanical REM
edies are repeatedly recommended, but in no pas
sage Of sacred history is man recommended to
swallow caomel, or blue pill, or any other mineral
preparation. The sick acre directed to eat herbs
to strengthen them, to purify them, to heal them.
to restore them. Ia that day the art of making
vegetable extracts was unknown Tho herbal med
icines were mere infusions.
1t was reserved for later age to unite the SAM
tary essences of tonic, aperient and anti-bilious
roots, banks and plants, with active stimulant,
and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the
debilitated or disordered system. The browning
triumph of this effective mode of concentrating
and applying the virtues of medicinal vegetables
was achieved IN the production OF Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Never before had perfectly
pure alcoholic stimulant been combined with the
expressed juices of the finest specifics of the vege
table kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen years
have elapsed since its introduction has this great
restorative been equaIled 1t is taken at all seasons

We have again and again insisted that
the taxes which our people are paying
are so great as to paralyze their
energies and severely, injuriously affect
our industrial interests. Our farmers,
our manufacturers, all of our producers,
every body but the untaXed bond-hOlder
is groaning under the heavy load of taxa
ton. The Radicals in power have turned
a deaf ear to all appeals for a reduction.
They have preferred to keep up
the late war, thereby hoping to
to keep in power by operating upon the
prejudices Of the Northern masses. We
are beginning to obtain aid upon this sub
iect of the reduction of the taxes. Many
of the leading Radical papers in the East
and the West are coming out strongly for
reduction They insist that there is no
law andno governmentalnecessity for re-
duction of the Government debt at the ex-
pense of so much oppression to the Ieo-
pie.
The New York Times is leading the
Radical van in this war upon high taxes.
1t admits, or rather insists, in a
late issue, that the truth is,
Congress has nearly taxed many
branches of industry out of existence,
and has made the expenses of every mode
of production and every individual so
great, that we can now hardly export
single manufacture which can compete,
on foreign markets, with the products of
the world. This defective system of
taxation is felt personally by every man,
woman and child throughout the country
in their daily expenses. All manufactures,
all agriculture experience it. Our taxes
are slowly destroying the industrial life of
the nation.
We are running in debt 10 foreign ma
tions about $500, 900, 600 per annum.
Every year this country is less able to pay
this great Indebtedness. We cannot man
at sufficient profit to be able to
export our own products in payment. If

TIE debates and proceedings in Con
gress are beginning to show more clearly
than ever the intentions of the Radical
iunta in respect to reconstruction, and the
purpose of that body to assert and main
tain control over the South. The discus
sion in the Senate on the 18th inst. proves
that even those Republican Senators who
voted against the pOstponement Of tie
Virginia bill, which indicated that they
favored the immediate admission of the
State, did so avowedly upon the ground
that implicitly the State would still remain
under Congressional surveillance. Senator
Morton, the leader of the moderate wing
distinctly declared this to be the doctrineof
the party at large! And thus has cUlmin-
ated the vcxed questioned Virginia's cad
mission. The State, after admission is to
be regarded in the conditiOnof pupilage,
and liable TO be remanded TO military rule
at the whim Of Congress- This feature
of the Radical programme is infinitely
more alarming, writes q Washington cor
respondent, than would be the rejection Of
theclaim to admission altogether; since it
develops clear purpose to use the whole
South for partisan purposes alone,
Morton declared that if Congress had the
authority to reconstruct under conditions,
and make State under additional condi-
tons (Which they had donc), they clearly
had the power TO unmake it at pleasure!
This is logical But why pirate The
steady and rapid encroachmcnts Of the
dominant party have by no means reached
a stopping point. The word is on
ward -
