1t is not many years since the English had
such contempt for Americans and American
genius and enterprise as to lead their papers
to ask derisively, "Who reads an American
book?" What q contrast with the condition Of
things ct the present day. The English have
not only learned that Americans are capable
of writing books but that an American can
invent sytcm Of international communication
which can furnish opportunities for trans
hitting dispatches like the following:-
THE CHANCELLOR or THE ExCHHQUER AT LONDON
TO REVENUE COMMISSIONERS AT WASHINGTON.
Please cable Immediately how tax on friction
matches works. Did Imposition derange manufac-
ture or check consumptiOnS What yield this year
General Pleasonton made the following
reply :
Right Hon.. ROBERT LOWE. Chancellor Of the Ex-
Tax on friction matches works well. Mnrufac.
ture not dcranged nor consumption checked Yield
$2,0 900 per annum.
A. PLEAsoNToN. Commissioner.
From the above il will be seen that il the
question was asked in former years in Eng
land, "Who reads an American book 2" there
is no difficulty about finding out who reads an
American telegram per cable, on matter of
political economy, in the present day, even if
they inquire of so high a functionary as Eng
lands Right Honorable Grand Chancellor Of
the Exchcquer. The friction In England, how
ever, at this time, is probably not entirely con-
fined to friction matches. Verify. time works

lace, who can say how this French trouble is

face, who can say how this French trouble Is
to end?
The republic, with the Due d'Aumale as
first President, is just as possible as the resto-
ration Of the monarchy under the Count de
Chambord or the Count de Paris. The resto-
ration OF the empire under Napoleon or his
son is just as possible as either. AS we have
said before, the provinces which control the,
national vote wish order, strength, safety. If
these seem to centre in republic they will
vote for republic. For the same reason they
will vote for monarchy or an empire. The
most that we feel for the present disposed to
say is that the failure Of the republic and the
divisions among the Bourbons give the House
of Bonaparte one more chance. 1t is not i'm
possible that the Due d'Aumale, who is on all
hands admitted to be capable man, may be
the President of the French republic. But
treachery in royal house is dangerous, and
treachery in the House of Orleans revives the
memory of Philip Egalite. We wish France
well; but we cannot see the end of her trouble.
To see the end is all the more difficult that
while France is wasting herself and losing
her chances Bismarck is waiting and watch
ing and not indsposed to foreclose the
mortgage.

Important from Chinn-Thc Demands OF
the Imperial Government.


We have despatch from Shanghae dated
the 18th inst, which states that by advices
from Pekin it is learned that the impe-
rial government has made demand upon
the foreign ambassadors that schools for
the education of females shall be abol-
ished that the teaching to male subjects
of the empire of all doctrines opposed to
Confucius shall be forbidden; that mission
aries shall be considered as Chinese subjects,
and that women shall not be permitted access
to the empire in that capacity. The ambas-
sailors are also notified that the attendance of
women upon religious service is one of the
occasions for the recent massacres Of foreign
ers, and that those events cannot but be de.
plored by the imperial government Com
pensation for their commission is abso-
lutely refused From the nature of this
despatch it is evident that the Chinese govern
ment is unable to live up to the treaties it has
made. The pressure of the people will not
permit it they do not desire and will not
submit to any closer alliance with the sout-
side barbarian" 1t is not their wish to have
other religious ideas than their own instilled
into the minds of their race, and above all
they do not wish their females to be educated
for higher position in life than they now
occupy The action of the Chinese govern
ment will doubtless cause o serious outbreak.
The great Powers will not listen to any such
demands; they will insist upon their rights
and privileges, even if force has to be used
to be made, for the Chinese must be given to
understand that, no matter how much they
may be prejudiced, they will not be permitted
to seriously oppose the onward march Of civil
cation.

LAWRENCE SULLIVAN, THE CONVICTED MUIR
OKRKR.-The late refusal OF the Supreme
Court General Term Judges to grant new
trial to Lawrence Sullivan, convicted in the
Court of General Sessions of the murder of
James O'Brien about year ago in Whitehall
street, and sentenced to be hanged, does not
seem to have put quetus on the case in the
courts. AS drowning men clutch at straws so
convicted murderers catcn at any possible
chance to save themselves from the gallows. An
appeal was made yesterday from the decision
of the Supreme Court Judges, carrying the
case TO the Court Of Appeals.

Sir John Young, it is reported, is about e
resign the position Of Governor General Of
Canada, and his successor is likely to be-
either the Marquis of Lorn or the young
Prince Arthur. We, as people, are person.
ally familiar with both these young Britons 3
the one from actual contact with his presence
and the other from the innumerable prints Of
his head that have adorned our pictorial
waeklies ever since bis marriage with Princess
Louise. Either one Of them would be highly
acceptable to our snobocracy as o Tangible
bit of royalty, stationed upon our own Cont!
nent and breathing our own air. 1t would be-
a pleasant sensation to the nobility worshipperS
to feel that a few hours run by rail would
bring them directly under the influence of the
delightful aroma diffuscd by royalty itself, and
it would be Q glowing satisfaction to our hard
listed Fenans to feel that the next Canadian
tremble on his or her own personal branch Of
the imperial throne at Ottawa. Altogether, it
is better for all of us than having such a COM
parative plebeian as Sir John Young on the
provincial throne-one In whose veins the
blood is pale blue compared to the deep blue
of the Gueiphs and the Campbells.
AS for Louise, all America will welcome
her with cordially. She is too sound
o republican for any son of freq
America to snub. Her example of marry
ing subject whom she loved when
she might have married any one Of
half dozen sgmaringens and Gerolsteins
whom she condemned is one that needs to be
strongly enforced upon our own young femi-
ninity. The rage for German barons and
Russian counts among our manageable
females can only be checked by the teachings
of q scion of royal House, and she has
given them the first lesson. She has shown
her democratic principles in her marriage.
Kind hearts are more than coronets.
And simple faith than Norman blood.
If she can impress this idea upon our mar
riageable young women we will hail her estab-
lishment with Lorn upon the New Dominion
throne as boon. Young Lorn himself is an
acceptable young Scottish gentleman, who is
so democratic as to have one brother in the
wine business in Glasgow and another in mer-
camille pursuits in this city. The Lorn
family are consequently more acceptable to VI
than Prince Arthur, who has nothing beyond
his blue blood to recommend him, and we
believe Lorn could raise" him on that.
However, whether Lorn or Arthur is to sue
coed Sir John Young, the United States will
be contented, feeling secure in her strength
against tho insdous influences of foreign
e ct,; 1,,atr E.
all her republican simplicity beside the most
gorgeous monarchical bauble that England
can display in Canada.

THE PRESIDENT is at Lafayette, Ind, where
Hon. G. S. Ortiz acts as his guest and probably
his spokesman He ought to be very careful
In the selection of his mouthpieces, for every
thing they say is now taken for republican
gospel What Blow said in st. Louis is con-
sidered undeniable proof that the highest figure

may say will be equally entitled to be con-
sidered authoritativa. So if the President
stops much on his roate and has new spokes-
man at every stopping place he is likely to

colored platform.

GENERAL RUGER has been appointed Super
intendent of the Military Academy at West
Point in place of General Pitcher. The seri-
GUS deseneracy Of soldiery discipline in the
Academy had long demanded some change,
and Congress has heretofore, by resolution,
called upoa the President to make such
changes as be deemed necessary in the mat
ter. General Pitcher has been faithful and
industrious Superintendent for many years,
but the kindness Of his heart for the boys
under his charge has probably led him into
little laxity of dis cipline

Central and South American Affairs.

BY special telegram to the HERALD from
Kingston, Jamaica, we have later advices
from Panama, with fuller particulars regard
ing the recent interesting events transporting in
Central and South America. The revolution
in the Departments of Chiriqui and Los San
tos, in the State of Panama. is more serious
than at first reported. The President of the
State, who was making an official visit, mar
rowly avoided assassination: he escaped to
the woods and only succeeded in reaching
Panama after terrible journey of over
twenty days, during which time he suffered
without food. In Panama great excitement
prevailed, fearing an attack from the insur-
gents All the men over eighteen years of
age have been called upon to arm and aid in
defending the city. The war between Saliva
dor and Honduras was ended by the complete
defeat of the latter its capital being occupied
by the victorious army of Salvador. The gov
eminent of Columbia has demanded of Ecua-
dor an explanation of the note writ
ten by its president Garcia Moreno,
threatening the life of General Mosquera
if he landed in that republic. If the
explanation is not satisfactory another war
may be the result. The coming election for
President of Peru was causing some excite
ment. In Chile very violent earthquake had
occurred, the strongest since 1857, lasting
over minute. 1t happened on the day of a
religious festival, at eleven o'clock in the morn
ing, when the churches were filed. The
buildings commenced swaying about, and all
the congregations rushed wildly into the
streets. No lives are reported to have been
lost but serious damage to buildings and
other property had occurred in both Valpa-
raise and Santiago. The Darien surveying
expedition is progressing favorably, and salts
factory results may be anticipated.

The Income Tax.

We publish to-day a communication with
reference to this odious law, taking us some
what to task for ''being little rough on the
assistant assessors" We know nothing, OF
course, about these officials in their PERSONAL
relations, and deal only with what they do IN
an apparently official capacity. They worry
the pubic by serving papers at their houses
without any show Of law. What we mean to
say u.s. that if the assistant assessors know
their duty they must be aware that Commits
sioner Pleasonton has decided that persons
whose income does not exceed two thousand
dollars are not required to pay any
attention to their blank forms. They must
know that these papers, as they arc
served-without the name of the party to
whom they are addressed appearing anywhere
upon the document, nor even the name of tho
city, town or State in which they are issued
are utterly worthless documents, Of which
nobody can take any notice. For example, .
paper is left at the house of citizen of Brook
Ign, in which neither the name of the party
nor the name of Brooklyn appears. A citizen
of Michigan would be just as much bound 70
respond to this demand as citizon of Brook
lyn; but this does not render the annoyance
any the less, when mans household is in
tested daily by these pestent tax officials,
who torment the ladies of the family in the
absence of the head OF the household.
Now, we think, under Ties, circumstances,
seeing that internal revenue assessors and
their assistants appear to be invested with
q certain power to make trouble with
people who have no taxable income, that
General Pleasonton should make some expla-
nation to the public of the precise character Of
the law upon this matter, SO that people may
understand how far they are in the power Of
the assessors or how far the law protects them
in their right to peace and comfort. 1t is well
that the Commissioner should instruct his
subordinates upon their duty, but the public
mind should be set at rest upon this vexatious
question.
