What have seemed to us the obvious sug-
gestions of the Chinese experiment now IN
progress at North Adams have already been
frankly and plainly stated. careful CORE
spondent gives this morning some additional
facts on the subject, and we make room, be-
sides, for an address by an accomplished jour
nalist, who enters his emphatic and eloquent
protest against this whole Chinese immgra-
ton. That we do not concur with all the
views he presents need not be here enforced;
but theyare views dimly held bymany sagacious
thinkers, and here presented with force and
zeal that will commend them to general ana
most respectful consideration. We do not dis
guise from ourselves the fact that this Chinese
problem is really one of the gravest questions OF
the age. Whatever contributes in any way 10
cast light upon it is to be welcomed; and en-
tertaining strong convictions of our own we
arc nevertheless clad to hear also the other
side

The new railroad war which Erie has
begun is waged rather upon the passengers
and produce of the West seeking New fork,
and hence upon New-York commerce, than
upon the Central Railway Company, against
which the action in court IS ostensioy
directed. Fisk and Gould, who mismanage
the Erie Road on the principle that its pros
perity depends absolutely on the downfall OF
all the other railroads in the country, are IN
distress because certain of the Western rail-
WAYS which terminate at Buffalo choose to
deal with the Central rather than the Erie line,
and their agents use their influence to for
ward freights and passengers by the former line
In preference to the latter. ThereupOn Fisk and
Gould hunt about them, and devise an action,
based upon a contract dating back 20 years,
and long since virtually nulifed by the ac-
ceptance OH the part of the Erie Railroad Com
pany of other and conflicting contracts. But
it is not difficult to get an action by these per-
sons into court presided over by Judge
Barnard. And once in, it will be difficult
to throw it out again. The purpose of
the proceedings was betrayed by their at
tOrney yesterday, when offering to agree to the
delay asked by the Central Road on the con-
dition that the Western roads shall be re-
strained from using their influence to forward
freights and passengers by the Central Road.
The suit simply betrays the weakness of Erie,
and advertises the Central.

Our upright, virtuous, and philosophical
friend, VIM. NJ. Tweed, esq, has come into
great and glorious marine honOrs. There is
at Mystic, Conn, steam-yacht which hereto
fore has padded upon pleasure parties under
the interesting, not to say touching, name OF
Fanny Whether she was named after the
Fanny enshrined in song, who was younger
" once than she is now" we do MT know but
last Saturday came to the Senate petition
from the vessels owner humbly praying for
permission to erase the name of Fanny"
from the stern of his craft, and to emblazon
there in its stead the illustrious name OF
"Tweed.n Whether under the new title this
steamer will be any less likely to blow up we
are not marine< enough to determine; but 1t
must be allowed that "W. NJ. Tweed" is
highly combustible explosive, and convulslye

itself to keep the steam gauge within the lin

We do MT expect to see Mr.. JEFF. Davis be-
come as hoe in his UniOnism on short notice,
az he was in his rebellion awhile ago. But if
his "lost eauser be really dead, why should
he not let it be buried out of sight, He de-
fivered minutes speech a few days ago in
Memphis, in behalf of Sunday schools and in
almost every sentence of the half-dozen SEN
fences of which it was composed, he managed
to Obtrude the Rebel leader and his lost cause
in an Extensively prominent manner. His open
ing sentence was: Friends there was time
"when could say felIoU-citisens n AS Mr..
Davis is yet DISTINGUISHED, he cannot say eel
Glow citizens !" but as he DISTINGUISHED him
self some ten years ago, we do not see that
be need talk so sadly of his loss. He next re-
ferred to the "rising generation,' to whom,
said he eve must look for the resurrection of
:" the buried hopes of the past This is tread
ing on dangerous ground; and we really think
that Mr.. Davis is the last man who, under ex-
listing circumstances, ought to tread there. He
then closed by expressing his gratitude for the
compliment paid him; "but," said he, 81 feel
"that it is not paid to me SO much as an in
dividual as representative of the cause of
constitutional liberty for which our revolu-
"tionary fathers fought and bed, and which

The LEGISLATURE of New-Hampshire has just

The Legislature of New-HaMpshire has just
been exposed to great danger. 1t was VS.
tied by two carloads of members of the late
Massachusetts Legislature. These gentlemen
having exhibited "a chronic inclination to sit, !"
there was some fear that their presence In
Concord might prove contagious. The New
Hampshire body had already determined to
adjourn sine die on the I'd of July next,
whatever might be the consequences; and they
will certainly be entitled to much credit for
moral persistence if they stick to their resolu-
ton after associating for two or three days
with the ex-members from Massachusetts. But
the White Mountaineers VIII probably be wise
and go about their private business upon the
day which has been fixed. NewHampshire
is MT SO rich as Massachusetts,, and regards an
unnecessary depletion of her treasury with but
little complacency.

capt TOMS VICTORY.

Can't Tom Leathers of the steamboat
Natchez, bas been trying the little expert
ment of annihlating time and space by run
ming bis craft from New-Orleans to st. Louis
in three days, twenty-One hours and fifty-eight
minutes. 1t seems that in 1874 the steamboat
j. NJ White made the same trip in three
days, twenty three hours and nine minutes-a
fact which filed the soul of Capt. Tom
Leathers with jealousy and inspired him with
noble ambition to beat this superb time or
blow up in tho attempt To plain, prosaic
Eastern man, unaccustOmed to the nautical
contests of the great river, difference of one
or two hours in the run from New-Orleans to
st. Louis does not seem to be of any
vital consequence but in st. Louis
the exploit of Capt Tom feathers
was thought to be one of the historic
incidents of the century. OF course, the trial
afforded a noble opportunity for betting, which
was by no means left unimnroved; and prob
ably Capt. Tom Leathers himself had part of
his little pile, if not his bottom dollar, staked
on the event. When he steamed triumphantly
up to the pier at st. Louis, he was a hero IN
deed. A crowd of excited citizens rushed on
board to proiler to the great LeatheTs an Ova-
ton. There was as much joy on every coun-
tenance as if intelligence had been received
that the Capitol was to be removed from
Washington to ST. Louis this very Autumn.
Probably it cost feathers very little upon that
happy occasion for liquid refreshment.
And yet it might have been quite otherwise.
As the Natchez rushed up the river with the
speed of comet, with the tar-barrels blazing
in her furnaces, and her engine putting as If
it had five hundred concentrated asthmas, a
bad attack of collapse might then and there
have oyertaken her, to the great corporal dis
Indignation of Capt. Tom Leathcrs, whose
fragments we can fancy shooting through in
definite space-hs right leg reaching one bank
of the river with its fellow flying to the
other his head soaring to the stars and the
rest of him sinking ANONYMOUSLY in the mud
of the turbid stream. But Leathers was in
luck. Fortune favors the brave, and the great
time of the j. NJ. White has been beaten. 1t
is all very gratifying; only if we have occa-
sion to voyage from New Orleans to st, Louis,
we shall, at any cost, avoid embarking with
Can't. Tom. We like to have our limbs remain
as Nature arranged them. Scalding cannot be
pleasant even in the very midst of victory
over the other boat. Leathers is no Palinurus
for us.

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE And AHSEXA-

It is wonderful how logical the Fenian raid
has made our Canadian friends. Il is sincerely
to be hoped that the result has been as bene-
fetal to the, invaders, though we fear not.
But it has certainly set the Canadians think
ing, and here is one of the conclusions to
which they have come after revolving the
Fishery question in their minds. Canada, as
a colony, the English leaders say, has no right
to engage in war or to force the Mother Coun-
try into war. But having set up as Domin-
ion for herself, she is told by England that
she must defend and protect herself But sup
pose, says one pertinent and perhaps rather
impairment querist, Canada in protecting her
fishery rights becomes embroiled with the
United States, will England fight her battles
ooh no." they quote The London Iele-
ordph, az saying very much as if it we're Mr..
Lowe talking in the Commons, fortunately
for us, we are out of it, since the question
concerns Canada-practically i'll these mat
"ters an independent pOwer-and the United
States, its great neighbour This is like say
| ing that if the Dominion ofiends, she must
apologize. or if England is forced to defend her
the Colony must submit to have the expenses
of war charged to her account. And since the
cost of war on any account--Alabama claims
or Fishery question-must fall on Canada, heI
duplex position as an Independent Dominion
and dependent Colony is not highly agreeable
TO the people who pay the taxes. Canada feel'
all the more nervous over this discovery TO
the reason that she lately gave the United
States polite notice that American fishermen
cannot fish any longer in Canadian waters
except where the privilege is secured us b!
definite treeties She need not tremble. W.
shall not trouble our neighbOrs.
But Canada will soon see that the only solu
tiop TO her difficulties is to befound in Annex
alton. To that belief have already come mum
