The tone of the Canadian press in re-
lation to President Grants message, is as
cleaf and pointed as anybody could wish,
and evinces no signs of alarm whatever
The President can suspend the bounded
system, and refuse to allow Canadian
vessels to enter our ports. That will do
Canada no harm, save little Inconvenience
to individuals. The chief injury would fall
upon American transportation lines. The
Toronto papers say President Grant may 20
ahead as fast as he likes, Canada will not
sbste her claims one jot or title. Canada
is still resolved to drive out "intruders upon
her waters" whatever objections our gov
ernment may make. Yesterday the Vice.
Admiralty Court at Halifax commenced
operations by condemning to forfeiture an
American fishing schooner. The President
has now an opportunity to act, and the
country has the assurance ofthe N.Y. Tribune
that he will be sustained in the position he
has assumed. We seem to be very bold
about Canada. Why are we so afraid of
England?

WAR. France and Prussia have
concluded to try the arbitrament of
arms. On the 18th inst, France de-
clared war and assigned as causes.
First, the insult offered at Ems to
Count Benedetti and its approval by
the Prussian Government, and a sec
ond refusal by the King of Prussia
to compel the withdrawal of Prince
Leopold's name as q candidate for
the Spanish throne; and thirdly the
fact that the King persisted in Civ
ing the Prince the liberty to accept
the crown. The declaration contin-
ues to the effect that the extra con
stitutional changes in Prussia has
awakened the slumbering recolec-
tions of 1914. Let ms cross the
Rhine and avenge the insults of
Prussia.
Immediately after the declaration
the French troops were in motion,
and on the goth Napoleon and the
Prince Imperial left for the seat of
war. The impression generally pre-
vailed that Napoleon was precipitate
in his declaration of war, and that
he meant war from the beginning G,
but the publication of statement
in the Paris Journals Of the 10th, to
the effect that Count Bismark had
sent a special messenger to Baron
Werther with instructions to "make
no concessions to France, do not be
impressed; we are ready to prolong
the situation, if possible, to the goth
of july" would indicate that such
also was the intention of Bismark;,
and that Napolion merely forstalled
or out-generaled him, in the declara-
ton. If those nations alone are to
contend with each other for the SUI
premacy, the war though bloody
may not be of long duration; but if
other nations are dragged in, as now
seems probable, there will be chang
es in the map of Europe before it is
concluded. Public sympathy is
nearly divided between the two, with
perhaps preponderance in favor of
Prussia. The news so far has had
an effect upon the markets, gold is
rising, and the prices Of the various
grains are advancing. However dis
astrous the effect of the war may be
upon Europe, It viii evidently do
much towards bringing the bust
ness of our country to more pros
porous condition than it has known
for several years. A resume of til e
foreign new, is given elsewhere.

Well, we must say that is rather

oftbe Beacon have not perussd the
Jomealas carefully as they should
have done, and as a consequence
have missed a great many good
things, among others numerous and
lengthy articles upon the railroad
| in which the Bcaco,. and Akron is
so deeply interested. In fact, our
amiable neighbor ''over the way"
has occasionally insinuated that we
have mot built a railroad in two
weeks" and now to have the Beacon
attack US in that way is positively
too bad. We advise Brother Lane,
to read the Journal more carefully
in future and not miss all the pro-
|
found things we may happen to say.
But seriously, the Beacon makes a
sad mistake in saying that Fremont
is interested in the line projected
and which it gives in an extract from
the Chicago Railroad Gazette, AS
follows:
From Pittsburg its course will be
north by west to Newcastle, Pa, a
! little east of the line of the Cleveland
& Erie Railroad. This section will
be AZ miles long At Newcastle it
will turn westward and continue in
that direction so miles to Akron, di-
viding the territory between the Fort
Wyne road and the Atlantic d Great
Western. In this distance it makes
anorthing Of only five miles. From
Akron its course is due west
Through Medina to Tiffin, a dis
tance Of SO miles, which is already
graded. From Tiffin it is proposed
to build an air line to Chicago, about
half way between the Lake Shore

The Knights of PhYthiag.

This is the name of a new order of secret
benevolent and charitable societies, and has
its origin in this country. The other leading
secret orders have more or less claim to anti
quity for their parentage, and are perhaps
tlnRed more or less with the ideas, customs
and ceremonies of past ages. This new can
didate in the field is the product of American
genius, and the rapidity of his growth and
present popularity would indicate that it cor
responds with the advancing ideas of the age,
and is creditable to home talent Its growth
seems to be rapid, as we judge from the official
proceedings, of the Supreme Grand Lodge
held in March In 1865, there was one lodge
with % members; in 1866, four lodges and $40
members, in 1867, Al lodges, and 6,S47 men,
bers; in 1868, 1874 lodges, 34,624 members; in
1869, 465 lodges, and 81 ,289 members. The
order already has three papers devoted to its
interests and it appears by an official state
ment in June that they now have $40 lodges
with membership of about 100000, and in
creasing at the rate of 10000 per month. They
have Grand Lodges IN l6 States, and the order
works in 25 States and one Territory.
We can only judge from its character by the
names Of prominent men connected with it.
We notice one Lodge in Boston, named the
fJohn A. Andrews Lodge" after the Govern
or of the State. The Grand Lodge of Illinois
recently dedicated new hall, which for gor-
geous nnlSn ana design is represented 10 sur
pass all other lodge halls of any order in the
country. The Knights of Phythias seem to be
in harmony with other secret orders, as the
highest officials of other orders are among its
members At a banquet given at Chicago we
note the name of the Inspector General Of the
Supreme Council, District of Illinois, the
highest official of the Supreme Grand Orient,
the Commander-in-Chief of the Consistory,
and long list of other high officials of the
Masonic order in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa
and also the Grand Master and other officials
of the I. o. o. F. OF Illinois, present. The or
der appears liberal in its benevolence and
charity. The total revenue in 1869 was S541,-
2I9,24, and the total expenditure for bensvo-
lent objects was S36S,027. 1t is stated that
honor and mutual friendship are the leading
features of the order, which is founded upon
an incident that took place about $500 years
ago, but well authenticated in history by Jo-
sephus and other writers.-Detroit Post.
