1t is Mr. Fernando Wood who furnishes the
last illustration of the tendency of young con-
verts to overdO the proper thing in the display
of their zeal. He was in great distress yester-
day lest the proposition in the House to re-
duce the duty on Sugar would tend to en-
courage Slavery in the West Indies In his
Indignation he denounced the ignorant, back
sliding Committee of Ways and Means for
offering premium to Slave labOrw The
House occasionally has fine sense of humor,
and, when it was discovered that Fernando
was not poliing fun at them, the Republicans
enjoyed hearty laugh at him. And then this
ardent anti-Slavcry convert insisted on tho
Yeas and Nays, that he might name to the
country as the friends of Slavery" those who
voted for reduction. The effect was, of course.

from utter stagnation Of mind by banging
away at the helpless birds, and noble ladies
keep the triumphant score Of the killed. Even
the picture proudly offered to us, as national,
the other day, of dozen ponderOus English
sauires with their heavy horses and full pack
of hounds in wild, victorious pursuit of a
quaking little fox suggested nothing nobler to
us than paltriness and poltroonery.
Out of such twigs do the trees incline with
rank and poisonous growth. Only men OF this
lowest type, educated by a training OF rat
baitirg and cock pits, could have thoroughly
carried out with the gusto that lent them effect
the English massacres in the Chinese wars, or
the playful stuffing Of Sepoys into cannon, or
could appreciate and express the reluctant
grief which the naval commission fet Wheh
forced to censure mildly, the other day, the
wholesale murders of Capt. Eyre. No savage
nation calls on us for enlightenment ana ald
in this particular with more vehemence than
our neighbors. But let us begin our mission
ary work with prudence. Let us be economic
of our pearls. TO natures so exceptionally
"acrid and animal as the class whom Capt.
Eyre and his defenders represent, the appeals
of humanity or of Christian truths would as
suredly be but mere chattering in An unknown
tongue. They must be lifted by degrees. The
bull-fight offers itself OPPORTUNITY as an en-
nobling influence in their present debased con-
dition. Let us, therefore, encourage jealousy

MISSIONARY BULL-FIGHTS

Some bold caterer to the public taste in Lon
don lately introduced bull-fght a TEspa9nOle,
as an addition to the national amusements.
The entertainment we believe, lacked vivacity,
owing to the fact that the bulls proved to be
overgrOwn calves that no amount of cOaxng
or prOdding from the imported matadores
could induce to show any fight whatever.
This is the more to be regretted as q genuine
and properly CORY bull-fght. however unworthy
of Spanish civilization nowadays, would be
an immense advance in dignity and refinement
upon the present most popular British re-
creations.
"Show me your amusements, and will show
"yOu what you are runs the old prOyerb; and
when we look at the modes in which our
cousins over the water disport themselves our
minds are filled with compassion and fOrebOd-
ing. Not only do they amuse themselves
glOomily, as FrOissart said of them, but there
is absolutely no sport popular among the
lower classes in which there is not an element
of crueky "The uncultured English" says
Emerson, are q brutal nation they have a

but for the sake of gain, or out of the keen

Bull-6ghts might, therefore. in the low con-
dtion of their present taste, be properly used
as sort of missionary aud Outstanding in
fuence upon them. In the lowest Plaza de
Toros there is always the excitement of real
danger; the foes are not altogether unequal !;
there is, too, a manly pride in the triumph of
human skill and bravery when matched with
brute force. The genuine bull-iight rises to
the dignity of chvalric tournament when
compared with the prize-rng, the rat-baiting
the cock pits so long familiar and dear to the
British heart or, still higher, when contastcd
with the aristocratic game of pigeon shooting,

Mr. Gladstone's convictions on this point are

have not ceased to believe that Gordon was
more or less of martyr, and Gov. Eyre more
or less of a murderer. 1t is not altogether
surprising that so deep gulf should have been

Contrary to the expectation that the Emperor
intended to submit his new reforms only to
his own creation, the Senate, Napoleon appears
resolved to appeal directly to the people.
master of the science which watches events,
he understands how necessary it is to
surprise and engage the mind of
France in order to make it forget its
recent disorders and scandals. The Emperor
will not accord all that his projected Senatus
CoDsultum seems to offer He may not, after
all, submit this project directly to the people.
The reforms he proposes seem to be-,
first, that the Senate shall lose its con-
stituent power and gain the legislative !;
second, that the Corps shall divide legis-
lative, and not Constitution making power, with
the Senate; third, that the constitutional
power shall return nominally to tho people,
but actually to the Emperor, with whom Is
lodged the right of proposal This, at least, is
the view taken of tho new reform by the
press of the French Opposition.

Just before the present President of San

and half ago, and just before the overthrow
of his predecessor (CabraD in November. 1867.
the last named ruler offered the Bay of Ss-
mana to our Government in return for loan
of one million dollars. A short time before
we had been in negotiation for that place AZ
naval station; but never was it so strongly
pressed upon us as on the occasion referred
to. 1t was fortunate that Mr.. Seward did not
close the bargain and pay the money. If no
had done so, we should either have lost the
million dollars outright. or we should have
been compelled to sustain the power of Ca
bral against Baez, who was then trying TO
compass his overthrow. If, now. in turn. We
should accept the offer of Baez lie regard to
SANTANA, we must either lose our money in tho
bargain or be bound to sustain Baez against
Cabral, who is now struggling TO overthrow
him. Territorial trading in that quarter is
dangerous business, and what we get hold Of
we must be prepared to hold on to.

the forthcoming report of the Commissioner OF

peared that the bullion product of our mines
for 1869 was not less than $63,500OOO; and it
also appears from the report that the abundant
promise of good supply of water this season
gives ground to expect in 1870 what we have
not had for years-an increase In the product

Congress is to hold in the Capitol memorial
service in his honor, when many of his old

his worth. The press, too, Of the country has
been almost unanimous in his praise. IL was

filled pages, but that the tributes, though
many in number, have been one in sentiments

speechless-he was far above all praise.

There is pending in the Senate a Joint resoJu-
ton reported by Mr.. Anthony, which is intended.
if we are to credit its title, to regulate the effect
of vote OF thanks Of Congress in the matter Of
promotion in the Navy, in such way that only
the officer thanked shall be benefiled or damaged.
vote OF thanks to a naval officer, under exist
ing laws, continues him on the active list, with
full pay, for ten years longer than would have
otherwise been the case, thus retardng of
course, for that length of time the promotion of
subordnates. Mr.. Anthony generously comes
to the relief of the subordinates, but the prof
fered aid is to come out of the pockets of the
people. His bill says in effect, that the officers
thus thanked and thereby given new
lease of official life shall to all intents and
purposes be considered officially dead, and
the subOrdinates next in rank shall be pro-
NOTED to their places. We would be glad if
every officer who fought in the war could be
promoted as he deserved. The country can no
more do too much for them than they could do
too much for such country. But the benefits
of this resolution, if adopted, will extend only
to few COmmOdOres, all of whom have been
thrice promoted since 1861. Ii will give our
Navy of $500 men sixteen Rear -Admirals on the
active list and twenty on the retired list. Tho
proportion is absurd. Congress is contemplating
the reduction of the number and pay of tho
Major Generals, of whom the Army, four times
as large as the Navy, has five. We trust il
does not seriously contemplate at the same
time providing the Navy with seven times "A
many officers of the equivalent grade, at an
additional cost in pay alone of $4,000 year.
