Emperor, wisely agreed to waive The question
of imperial audiences until the present Empe-
ror should be of age. since in the mean time
questions enough existed for discussion with
out involving themselves in one 80 purely for
maj AZ this must be during the minority OF the
hereditary ruler All the diplomatic business
is now transacted directly with Prince Kung,
as it would be in like case with the regent of
any other Empire.
We cannot find in these things, fairly con
sidered, any pretext for declaring that China
deserves punishment for faithlessness TO
treaties-any vague "dishOnOrs to the flag" to
render necessary that force or intimidation
which is 80 ignorantly clamOred for by adj
mirers of England's India policy. We do not
see this and as regards progress, we hold, as
we have always held. that shot and shell can
never help it truly by trying to force upon
any people civilization for which they re-
ouire an intelligent and gradual preparation !;
that neither saber nor cannon can 80 alarm

Western nations have needed centuries OF un-

CHM.

An apparently general disposition to visit
upon China the sins of Corea, since it cannot
discover any pretext for advocating the use of
force, is finding expression in much gloomy
talk about the utter failure of all our quick
ened hopes for China's progress; talk which
generally ends in reprOaches for Chinas al
legged faithlcssnesS, and III threats and fore
b0dings for our future relations toward her.
We do not mean truculent buster about
knowing the Chinese down." forcing ciyiliza-
ton upon them at the cannOn's mouth" and
the like. The time was when Col Knox Gore
of the British ArmyI justified his sanguinary
name by embOdying these genial theories of
an advanced humanity in an after-dinner
speech at Hong Kong but since his day they
have died into bOmbast, and now go for what
they are worth with every thinking man. We do
not mean to discuss these, but rather to con-
slider the serious questions which are put with
fairness and reason every day-have we right
to be disappointed and indignant at what the
Chinese have done or failed to do and should
we gain in our relations with them by force
policy, instead of the course we have pursuedY 7
We nourish no Optimist's ideas regarding
China; we do not wish to idcalizo its civiliza-
ton, cover its errors, or conceal the absurdity
OF Its Oriental isolation and cOnceit. But we
submit that no political student can Judge the
Chinese Empire justly who applies to it the
unreasonable standard by which to-day il is
too often tried. In the hurry and rattle of II
civilization which produces a San Francisco or
Chicago in thirty years, and covers a wilder
ness with cities and railways in the course
OF half a century, we are too apt to forget the
acquired inertia of unbroken centuries of polt-
zeal sleep; fiy-wheel, though it be revolving
ever so rapidly, seems 10 stand still when
seen III flash of electric light and the power
OF Judging others speed is easily lost in dwell
ing dehghtedly on our own. Let us use every
legitimate means to quicken the course of pro-
gress. but not be detected in the unphiloso-
phical error of complaining because acorns do
not at once become oak trees, OF because a

In this emergency, the proposition of NJ. Cam

one as sensible and just We can hardly ex-
pect, however, that the delegates, who love

Mr.. James r. Doolittle has lost the little
dignity he retained after his involuntary
apostasy from the Republican party. As long
as he held himself aloOf from the scenes of
his old contests, bearing impartial testimony
against the wickedness of both sides, we found
him trihe dull but perfectly respectable.
His isolation gave him sort of style-hke

a mere office-seeker at last, and accepted a

Whatever may be said of the good faith of
the French Government in relation to the ces-
sion of Alsace and Lorraine, it is certain that
tie French people have no more idea of peace
fully acQuiescing in that alienation Of territory
than they had of giving up the insane desire
for the recthcaton of the frontier" which
made Napoleon's declaration of war against
Prussia popular. 1t was only the other day
that Gen. UhIich, accepting a sword from
New-York Alsatians, said he should draw 1t
only when an attempt was made to re-
conquer the provinces torn from France And
now the German ambassador has found it
necessary to protest against the existence of a
league with the avOwed object of delivering
those provinces from the hands of the Ger
mans. Yet the French are ungraciOus enough
10 grumble at the unwillingness of Germany
TO do more than was agreed in the treaty Of
peace.

II is amusing to learn from THE TRIBUNE's
report of the Convention of Scientists at In
dianapolis, elsewhere published, that the AS
sociation, after making an excursion to Terre
Haute, and accepting an invitation to visit
New-Albany and the Mammoth Cave, finds
itself pressed for time. Moreover, the AssOci-
alton has quilted the domain of the severely
useful, and has latterly been devOting much
time to the analysis of the ether of space,
examinations into the characteristics of the
extinct tOrtOises, of the cretaceans of New
Jersey, and other lively topics The drawback
to the usefulness of all this is that it does not
popuarize science, and, as there are no dis
cussions worth mentioning, there is precious
little opportunity to test the real value of the
essays which are read.

Simmons g. Co., having been driven from this

Tammany appears to have as much conf

such vile uses in receut days, that it evidently
thinks these instruments infallible when foul
work is to be done. 1t is stated that the
Common Council has authorized Mr.. Hall to
commence suit against Tie Times newspaper
to eject it from the premises it now
occupies, and pending the suit the con-
spirators hope to gain possession of the
Office by means of Receiver. 1t will not do
to treat this intention with the contempt it

messed during the past year such lamentable
and shameless prostitution of the judicial
character in this city that there is scarcely
any depth of outrage to which some of our
Judges may not descend, without greatly
astonishing this patient public. But if there
is one atom of common sense left in that Ring
of shrewd schemers, who have certainly shown
great cleverness in plundering and defying the
city through a term of years, they will think

There are about 10000 colored people in this

is estimated that one-half live in this city and

how they live, what are their occupations, and
what their chances and advantages for social
and intellectual improvement, is briefly told
in paper which we publish to-day. The gen.

are abundantly able to be artificers of their

The Berlin Cross Gazette is said to deny
catcgorically that there has been any unfavOr-

it happens, the Cross Gazette is neither official
nor semi-ofiicial authority though often cor
rect In It's political rognosticatOns-and there
have been no negotiations at Gastein, favor
able or otherwise. 1t is the fact that the
proposed conference has been postponed
which has given rise to the other repOrt-that

of Austria and Germany had been diminished.
