Gen. RAAsLoTF, Danish Minister of War,
has resigned his office on account Of the failure
of the United States to complete the bargain for
the purchase Of st. Thomas. He was the Danish
Minister in this country when the negotia.
tions for that island were commenced, and feels
himself so far identified with the transaction that
its failure makes it necessary for him to 60 out
Of Office.
In this affair, which has now resulted in the
humiliation Of a friendly power that is not strong
enough TO resent m insult, the Senate of the
United States has not borne an honorable part.
The treaty for ST. Thomas has been in its
possession for more than two years. 1t
had been approved by tho vote Of tho people
whom il proposed TO transfer to the United
States; it was promptly ratified by the Legisa-
turo Of Denmark; but II has lain neglected and
ignored in the Senate ever since it was sent
there. The Committee to which it was re-
feucd has never reported, and the Senate
has never said whether IL approved or dis
approved Of its stipulntions. The rgh
Of Denmark TO proper decision upor
bargain made at the urgent request OF thu
President and Secretary of State, has not beer
respected. 1t is true that this very delay an'
! neglect constitute strong moral claim upon th

The island of saghalien, whose possession
has for thousand years been disputed by Chi
nese and japanese, has been since the Crimean
war in the hands of the Russians, with the ex.
ception Of o small fishing village, occupied by q
japanese garrison. This has been lately with
drawn, and Russia is at present the undisputed
occupant Of the whole island. This is in virtue
Of the treaty Of 1869 with China, which gave to
Russia sovereign power over this island, along
with the Amoor river territory. Saghalien is
almost as large as Cuba and opens fnc field

II Is curious how much the opinions of
man in general on the questions of protection or
free trade nre governed by their interest. There
arc those who hold 10 their convictions on these
subjects without regard to their bearing on their
income; but such men are few aud even those
who cling zealously to their intellectual conciu-
sions are apt 10 be much fortified in them by the
fact that the profits of their business lie in the
same direction with their theoretical belief.
We have long been accustomed to hear
that the farmers Of the West are free.
traders; but some remarks of General
GARriELD in the House Of Representatives on
Thursday last show that a large proportion Of
them arc ardent proiectionists. The question
was on removing the present duties from foreign
hemp and fax, on the ground that they are
important elements, raw materials, in the fitting
out of ships. To this Gen. GARYrELp replied that
there were now produced in Ohio Indiana, and I'LL
nois from forty thousand to fifty Thousand tons Of
fax yearly and that, with the continuance Of fair
protection, the farmers Of those States would
turn out all the 1ax and hemp that the country
might require. This view Of the subject was also
coroborated by Mr. BECK Of Kentucky, q Domo-
crat. who urged the claims Of the hemp growers
of Kentucky and Missouri to protection, just as
Gen. GARFIELD presented the case of the fax cul-
tiyatcrs Of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
However, they need not any Of them be alarm
ed. They will all have rs much protection as is
good for them for the next quarter OF a century.
As long as are compelled to levy, at the least,
an average Of forty per cent duties on all pro-
ducts imported from abroad, American farmers
and manufacturers need not be much afraid Of
foreign competition.

An act of Legislation is soon to be accom-
pNshed in Great Britain which must favorably
influence the status Of japanese, Chinese, and
other emgrants to the United States. The prin-
cpe OF the Naturalization bill now going through
the House Of Lords Is to confer upon the
aliens who accept its provisions oil the privileges
of natvc.born subjects. They can hold land, sit
Parliament, practise in the courts-in all re.
spccts be, politically, as born Eng'ishmcn. A
residence Of five years will be all that is ncces-
safy. Then, within the United Kingdom, and all
over the world, except in the country whose allie
ghnce he throws off, the naturalzed EngIishman
will be entitled to all the protection that England
can give him. But he cannot, under the proposed
law, 60 back to his native country and naunt his
British citizenship in the face of his old govern
ment The recognition by the British Govern
ment Of the broad principle that man may change
his nationality, must exert marked political
and social influence throughout the world.

Several excellent essays against the in
come tax have recently appeared in the Tribune
from the pen Of an able writer whose name is
not given. They present with force the views
and considerations respecting the legal questions
connected with the income tax, which were
originally set forth in the well-known argument
by W. o. BARTLETT Esq. That argument has
ever since served as a magazine from which the
opponents of the income tax have freely drawn,
but few of us have used its resources as etlec-
lively as the writer in the Tribune.

Mr. GLADSTONE, Chancellor of the Ex.

Mr.. GLADSTONE, Chancellor of the Ex-
chcquer recently declared in the House Of Com
mons that the English Government had claims
that have never been relinquishcd, amounting TO
e764l 900 sterling, against Spain 'or stores fur
nishcd during the Pcninsulir War II this sum
had been due from the United states, energetic
measures would no doubt have been taken to en-
force payment but Spain being slave power,
from whose extortions in Cuba England has de-
rived immense profits she has consequently been
treated with the utmost leniency. At the somo
time, so long as these English claims remain un-
satisfied, Spain has to look up to Great Britain,
and is not permitted to cedc Cuba to the United
States Tor fear of giving offence to her English
creditors.
