The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-11-23

The Democrats who have dabbled most
actively in the business of antagonizing the
Republican policy in reference to the colored
race have adopted two opposite lines of argu-
ment, each of which proved the absurdity of
the other, while now the census shows both
to have been unfounded. On the one hand
they said that the negroes, after losing the
fostering care of slave-owners, would speedily
be extinguished; and on the other that they
would become the dominant race, and not
only overrule the white men at the polls, but
subject them to ruinous industrial competi-
tion. The census of the colored population
of 200 counties in various Southern States
and in the District of Columbia sho VS. that
while they have declined in numbers in some
localities, on account of disturbances arising
out of the war, they have rapidly increased
in other sections, and the aggregate in the
district named is 7G9, 1868 in 1870 as against
COG, 9O6 in 1860, so that there has been
neither an extraordinary increase on the one
hand nor diminution on the other; and
both the Democratic bugbesrs are substan-
TALLY exploded by these figures.

OUR R0VLNG DIPLOMATIST.

OOh NJ FINu " DLL LO4H d LOL'
Ex.SEoRETARY SEWARD has undertaken, since
the termination of his long official career at
the close of Andrew Johnsons administra-
ton, O series of remarkable journeys; and of
all the voyages round the world his promises
to be the most memorable if not the most
Important. Departing from the usual line of
travel, he sets his face westward, instead of
vending his way across the Atlantic to the
attractive capitals of Europe. The first point
TO which he directed his wandering footsteps
was Alaska, a selection probably due
to his anxiety to see with his own eye what
sort of 8 bargain he had made in purchasing
that bleak region from Russia Mexico,
country which had been the object of great
deal of his diplomatic solcitude, and which
he had materially benefited by his vigorous
protests against French Intervention, was
next visited; and now, after brief interval
of rest at his own homo in New York, and
after a series of jonrneyipgs along our Pacific
seaboard, he has commenced his travels in
far distant Asia. A short time since he was
presented to the Mikado of Japan, being the
first unofficial foreigner who had enjoyed
that honor; and he has since gone to Pel1in
to bask in the sunlight of the countenance of
the Emperor of the Flowery Kingdom, from
which point he will proceed to Calcstta, Bonn
bay, and the Persian Gulf.
Whatever may be the motive of Secretary
Seward in this extraordinary journey (and we
suspect that there is intermingled with it
desire to enjoy abroad the adulation which
in the present state of politics is denied to
him at home), he deserves credit for under
taking such thorough inspection of both
fronts of the mighty Pacific. This country
is practically the only one which faces both
the great oceans of the world; and the rapid
ity of the future development of our re-
sources can be greatly increased by the csm-
plete utilization of this extraordinary ad-
vantage.
Mr.. Seward has already done much, as
dplomatist and statesman, to facilitate free
Intercourse between Asia and America and
to realize the dream of Columbus, and he
will probably gather up, by personal obser-
walton during his present trip, many facts
bearing upon this important subject which
will prove useful to his countrymen, and en-
able him to establish enduring fame by the
magnitude of his services in fostering Ameri-
can commerce on the Pacific.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-11-23

II SEEMS that the Mexican Congress, in
discussing the free-zone question, were not
satisfied with perpetuating and extending
policy highly injurious to the United States,
but that they wished to insult as we'll as to
injure us, and to express their defiance to
the Yankee Government Mexico is very
Insignificant foe, but it is scarcely safe for
her to presume too much upon her insignif-
cance. Much of her frontier territory is too
barren to be worth capturing, but if she is
determined to use it as the stamping ground
of smugglers our Government may be forced
to break up this system of robbery in a very
summary way. We are nearly ready, for
reasons independent of this new provocation
to digest another portion of the territory from
which we have already carved such large
slices as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, aud
California, and if the greasers grow imperti-
nent their ''free zone" may soon furnish us
with another meal.

MR. OD0 RUSSELL, who has been BguIing quite
prominently for some days past in the cable tele-
grams from Europe as a special envoy from the Bril-
tsh Government to the Prussan Court at Versailles,
belongs to one OF the most arIstocra'ic families OF
England. He is the younger son OF the late Lord
William Russell, by the daughter Of the Marquis
Of Hastings, formerly Governor. General OF India,
and more famous as Earl OF MORA. AT the death
OF the present Duke OF Bedford, who is un.
married, her son Mr.. Hastings Russell elder
brother OF Mr.. Odo Russell will succeed to the
dnkedom and immense estates worth upwards OF
$3.50, coo a year. Until within few months MIR. Odo
Russell had for some years been filing the delicate
and difficult post OF diplomatic agent OF the British
Government at Rome, where England had no regu-
larry accredited representative and in this capacity
is understood to have given great satisfaction. He
married daughter OF the late Foreign Secretary,
Lord Clarendon and this grand alliance has c0ntri-
buted materially to his rapid promotion. In August
last he was appointed Assistant Undcr-Secretary OF
State for Foreign Affairs, aud it is in this capacity
that he has been despatched by Earl Granville, the
Foreign Secretary, on special diplomatic mission
to the perambulating court OF King William. After
many delays In his journey, Mr.. Russell reached
Versailles on the evening OF the goth, and was at
once received with marked attention by Count Bis
marck The object OF Mr.. Russels special mission is
undertood to be to demand from Count Bismarck
straightforward answer to the question as to
whether or not Prussia would acquiesce at once and
Internationally in the rejection of Russia's preten-
sions in the Black Sea question, 1t was reported a
day or two ago that Count Bismarck had denied to
Mr.. Russell that Prussia had any understanding
with Russia the question at issue but the report
was unfoanded and the result OF Mr.. Russell's mis-
sion is yet In doubt

THE PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THE PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
AN informal meeting Of Common Council was
held yesterday for the purpose of consider
ing the Paid Fire Department bill, and seve-
raj alterations were made, all of which seem
TO be judicious. The most important of
these makes the commissioners unsalaried
officers. How this will work in practice we
cannot undertake to say; but in some other
cities the fire commissioners serve without pay,
and it is worth while for US to try the expe-
riment to see il the same thing cannot be
done here. The men who would make the
best commissioners would be the last ones to
be tempted by the salaries allowed under the
original draft of the bill, and there are
very many OF our most public-spirited
citizens who would be more likely
to accept offices which were worth nothing in
a pscunisry sense than those to which such
salaries as those originally named for the fire
commissioners were attached. If it is found
in practice that the best men for the position
cannot be obtained, and that 1T will be of any
benefit to the Fire Department to pay the
commissioners, il will be easy to take action
in the matter hereafter. Another judicious
amendment was in the reduction of the Chief
Engineers salary from $4,000 to $2500, and
in the increase of the Assistant Engineers
from $1,000 to 1920. A very excellent pro-
vision was also made to the etteot that no
person holding Office Of any kind under the
United States, the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvsnia, or the city of Philadelphia shall be
eligible to election or appointment to any
Office created by the bill.
As we said last week, the Paid Fire Depart
ment bill is a very good one in its main fea-
lures, and it ought to pass without serious
opposition at the meeting of Councils to be
held this afternoon. There may be minor
defects in it, but there are none of such
serions Importance as to interfere materially
with the efficiency of the department, and it
will be easy to correct them hereafter
as they show themselves. Public
opinion demands that the old volunteer
system of extinguishing fires shall be
done away with at once and forever, and, as
was shown by the communications sent to
Councils last week by the United States and
Diligent Companies, the better class of fire.
s. men see clearly that the time has come for a
radical change, and that q paid department is
the only remedy for existing evils. Rufian-
ism has got the upper hand Of the volunteer
SYSTEM; and as there is only one way in which
q reform can be brought about, the sooner it
is adopted the better it will be for all parties
concerned.
