sake, through which most of the commerce
betwt en- China and Japan is compelled to
pass. In July, 1868, the Pembroke, an Anne
rican steamer, plying between Shanghai and
japanese ports, in attempting to pass the
strait, was fred upon 10y bark and
brig flying the Daimio's flag and that
of the Tycoon. The Pembroke escaped in
the darkness of the night, but was at first
reported sunk. Commander McDougal, COM
manding the United States sloop- p-of-war
Wyoming, went up to punish this outrage,
and was fired upon by the forts on the Prince
of Neegatas territory, but succeeded in sink
ing or running ashore the vessels which had
fired on the Pembroke, as we'll as Japanese
steamer which had in the meantime REIN
forced them. Having lost eleven men the
Wyoming withdrew, and the forts kept up
filing for several days upon any foreign
vessel which attempted to pass through the
strait, the American bark Monitor being
among the number fired upon and damaged
Finally, the English, French, Dutch, and
American fleets bombarded the forts, reduced
the hostile territory, and opened the straits of
Slmonosaka to commerce again. The Prince
of Neegata being q feudal lord, the United
States Government could only treat with the
Nikado and Tycoon, and the Japanese Gov
eminent came down handsomely with an in
demnity of about So, 100000. The owners of
the Pembroke, who made direct demand
upon the Japanese Government, were paid
$40, 900 for the loss of their voyage The
owners of the Monitor claim $50, 900, and
this amount will be allowed out of the fund
now in the State Department. But, from
all the money received by our Govern
ment, nothing has ever been paid to
the officers and men of the Wyoming by
way of prize money, no prize having actually
been taken. The usual small pension has
been allowed to the survivors of those who
were lost, but out of the amount received
from the Japanese Government, nothing has
been paid to the naval service. 1t would be
but simple act of justice for Congress to
inquire into the circumstances of the case
and make such disposition of portion of
the Indemnity Fund as will reward the officers
and men of the Wyoming for their gallantry
and promptness. The vessels destroyed we're
practically pirates, but the Japanese Govern
ment recognized its responsibility for their
nationality, and our Government ought to
recognize the agencies of their destruction.

A TILT AT TILTON.

FROM the CINCINNATI COl4TpefcldL
Theodore Tilton is the editor of the New
York independent, moral, dry goods advo-
cate of isms that tend to free love and a
general unsettling of all that we hold near,
and dear, and sacred. One half is given up
to praises of God, and the other in putting
money in the pocket of its proprietors. Some
fourteen years since, Doctor Gamaliel Bailey,
a great man whose heart only equalled his
brain, said that the independent was corrupt,
and its proprietors unprincipled money
getters. That was the condition of the in0e-
pendent then, and it has been failing ever
since. Under the guise of religion it puffs
dry goods, and we speak advisedly when we say
that the columns are, and ever have been,
open to purchase, and any quackery pos
sessed of sufficient coin can find insertion
and religious tipge to make it acceptable.
Theodore's business in Washington was to
work the independent into the lobby, and to
this end he smiled and fattered and bumped
his empty head upon the floor in the presence
of men as corrupt but not so weak as him
self. He failed dismally, and through his
failure came near losing the confidence of his
employer. One fact alone sustained him,
and that was that he could do more dirty
work under a religious guise than any crea-
ture the sharp, money getting, unprincipled
proprietor could find.
How Theodore has since been worked to
increase the circulation and extend the in
Auence Of this vile sheet would make an sd

ditional chapter in the life of Count Fathom,
Among the latest is pretended attempt TO
harmonize the different factions of the strong
minded women. Theodore advertises his
journal by calling on all the women of the
United States to forward him their names.
The response will be a copy of the Ipdepen-
dCat In the meantime Theodore has himself
elected President of the Harmonized Petticoat
Association, and demonstrates equality by
showing that if the women lack strength ne
cessary to serve as men, here is one man weak
enough to be woman. Small wonder that
such large Drained feminnes as Mrs. Stanton
and Julia Ward Howe shout out their wrath
and indignation at such silly and ridiculous
intruder.
And now we have tremendous illustration,
commemorative of the Undergraduates twenty
one years of sinful existence, in which Theo-
dore is represented as an angel blowing
rams horn at the Catholic Church. Had
Theodore been represented as rising from a
store-box with the horn of plenty, pouring
out jobs, instead of Gabriel's trumpet, it
would have been far more illustrative because
tue.
The New York Independent is a represen-
tative of class far too prominent and pow
erful in our country. The Republican party
in its first organization based its platform
upon human rights and made such an appeal
to the moral sense and generous impulses of
humanity that it swept the country.
Its success has proved suggestive to hypo-
critics and rogues. Every vile scheme of
plunder is now sugar coated with religious
pIetepse-and almost every reform movement
covers plunder. Such journals as the Inde-
pendent are not slow to seize on and follow
up such effort, and the louder their voices
the deeper their villany. Thousands of good
but credulous people take and read the Inde-
pendent, believing that it sas sincere as it pro-
fesses to be earnest, and the principles of the
family are slowly sapped and undermined.
In this way deadly poison is flowing unseen
and unheeded into the very foundations of
our social and political fabric. 1t is time for
the honest and thoughtful to protest against
thia evil

A DEAD RENEGADE.

From the NeO orleans Picayune.
TO Virginians, the shameful detection of
Thomas to the Southern cause was peculiarly
humiliating, as his career in Mexico had en-
listed the pride and admiration of that noble
and generous people. His name, joined with
that of Winfield Scott, whom he resembled
not little in personal appearance, will go
dewn to posterity, covered with their repro
baton. He was alone, among his family, in
this treachery to his native land, for his bro
ther was an officer in the Confederate army;
and spirited and patriotic sister, one of
those Virginia matrons who stood out
during the desolation of their proud old
Commonwealth by the Federal armies, in
the resplendent ma jesty of devotion and self
sacrifice, is reported to have answered an ap-
plieation for the sword which the State had
presented to her recreant brother, by saying
that he should not have it, as Virginia had
presented it to a son of whom she was then
proud, but that the hand of traitor should
never grasp its hilt. But the man has gone
to his last account, having by his offenses
sacrificed all claim to a niche in the same COM
memorative temple of great Virginians with
Lee and Stonewall jackson, and won only the
very doubtful compliment of sharing such
honors with the ruthless desolators or tyran-
nical oppressors of his native soil, and of his
nearest kindred. Few should envy him such
o fate.

LAW OF MARRIAGE IN PENNSYLVANIA.

From the Pittsburg Commercial.
Wilkie Collins, in his skilfully constructed
and,intensely dramatic story called "Man and
Wife, now in course of publication in Har-
per'S Weekly, brings prominently into public
view an odious and restrictive statute in Ire
land and the Scottish law, regulating the
whole subject of marriage. Twenty years
ago Dickens exposed the ignorance and
dTeary tyranny of the English school, and the
misery and cruelty of the English workhouse
Charles Reade has laid bare the dreadful
wrongs and horrors of the English private
mad-house, and of the English county prisons
of later day. "Nicholas Nickleby" and
"Oliver Twist, 'Hard Cash" and ''Never too
Late to Mend, have pleaded more eloquently
and more successfully in the interests of
humanity and reform than the excellent
Wilberforce in his most earnest efforts, and
the philanthropic Howard by his deeds of
noble charity If the modern novel has
sometimes scattered broadcast the seeds of
moral disease, it cannot be denied that it has
also often brought healing on its wings for
great social and political disorders.
Wilkie Collins is making q very interesting
book. He deals in the solidly real, rather than
the ideal His style is altogether narrative
there is nothing of the air of romance in the
story he tells. 1t is probable story; it might
be a real history. Excepting names and
Grounding Incidents" the writer probably
] relates actual oceurrences-if fictitious, the
verisimilitude is perfect. If Mr.. Collins be
imaginative at all, his imagination takes no
lofty flight His genius is dramatic, and no
writer of the century has equaled him in the

cidents as to excite the sensibilities and arouse
the passions of his readers

WHAT ARE "WOMANS RIGHTS ?"
Rr01a the ~ T. Times.

WHAT AXE ''WOMAN > klGHIS
From the N. 7. Times.
They are these, according to the leaders
and followers of the ''Woman's rights move
ment:"-To practice the same professions
and occupations as men. To be treated as
the equal of men in all relations of life. To
be admitted freely to competition with men
in every field of labor or thought, and not to
have the weakness of their sex" even alluded
to, since that can only be regarded as an
insult.
Very good So far, all is clear. But now
observe what follows. Women do occasion
ally manage to pursue the same occupations
as men, and all goes on pretty well until some
one dares to treat them precisely as men are
treated-that is, with criticism-plain,
straightforward, it may be severe criticism.
Then at once a shrek ascends to the skies,
All the advocates of ''woman's rights" sally
forth in body and cry out, ''Do not criticise
woman--she is weak creature, and ought
to be held sacred. Remember her SEX" 1t
is of no use to answer that if women claim
all the CELEBRITIES and privileges" of men they
must expect to suffer some of the penalties to
which men are also liable. When woman
declares that she wishes to experience the
same treatment as men in the contests of life,
she means that she wants all sorts of excep-
tions to be made in her favor. She must be
AAOAA
wind of criticism. She will throw aside her
sex except when she can use it as q shield.
Most people have foreseen that this would
be the result of conceding to women the
rights they ask. In reality they are not pre-
pared to fight the battle of life from man S
standpoint. They are to have the privilege
of saying or doing what they like, and no
one is to contradict or thwart them for fear
of hurting their feelings. You must no more
answer them than answer a parson in the
pulpit. So that eventually the field of human
exertion is likely to be covered with competi-
tors who will demand to be treated like so
many Popes They will criticise, but must
not be criticised in return. They will take
the wages of men, if they can get them, but
| they will not work for those wages like men;
they will not face good report and evil report,
or bear any of the hard knocks which are apt
to be distributed in life. They will always
have the plea, 81 am only a woman" on
their tongues. Is this, then, the equality of
the sexes of which we have heard so much
It appears to be the nearest approach to
equality which the present champions or re-
presentatives of woman's rights are likely to
favor us with.
