ment of outstanding differences, but it con-
taiDs within it provisions which will render
the recurrence of similar difficulties impossi-
bic. There are three short rules embodied
in it which give the whole document price,
less value, and will form the most valuable
addition to international law ever made. We
quote these rules below, and ask our readers
whether it would not be crime to reject any
treaty which contained them Great Britain
not enly agrees to be bound by these rules in
future, but further agrees to make them
retrospective in their action-that is, she
consents to have her liability for the escape
of the Alabama decided as if these rules
bad been in existence when the occurrence
took place. This is conceding all that she
has hitherto denied-but it is in no spirit
of boastfulness that we mention
the fact, No just man will refuse credit to
England for reversing her former policy on
this question, and coming more than half
way to meet us on the ground of reason and
Justice. Moreover, the treaty opens with a
frank expression of ''regret" on the part of
her Majestys Government 'for the escape,
under whatever circumstances, of the Ala
bsma and other vessels from British ports,
and for the depredations committed by those
vessels" When we remember how lmpossl-
BILE it seemed few years ago to extract any
such admission from the British Govern
ANA
such it is, although an apology becom-
ing a great nation-will be increased
in our estimation. AS for the 'rules'
referred to, they will bear careful
discussion at another time. For the present
we leave the treaty to be read and studied
by our readers. Let them regard it from
whatever point of view they may, and we be-
lieve they will rise from its perusal with the
conviction that fairer basis for a settlement
of our differences with Great Britain no
human being or collection of human beings
could devise. The commissioners who drew it
up we'll deserve the gratitude and respect of
both nations. We cannot believe that fac
tious criticism in any quarter can prevent
this treaty being ratifed-but if it did, we
might as we'll abandon finally the hope OF
settling disputes by peaceable arbitration,
and make up our minds to resort to what has
so long cursed the earth-the 'arbitrament'
of the sword.

THE CHINESE PUZZLE.
ON the N. Y. Herald

From the N. Y. Herald.
In all the writings of the Celestial M o.
hammed there is not perhaps passage more
frequently quoted and admired by his fol-
lowers than this:-"When you would do any
thing, first consider; when you have con-
sidered, do it; then resume the tranquility of
your mind" There is not much profundity
In the advice of Confucius; but then he was
the Bunsby of his time, and his luminous re-
marks on everything, celestial and terrestrial,
are still regarded with awe and reverence by
the pig-tailed Cuttles of the Flowery Land.
From a perusal of the extraordinary and
highly interesting translation of the Chinese
incendiary pamphlet which we published on
Wednesday last, We gather that the
mandaIins and high officials of
the Celestial empire have fully CON
sidered and determined on the policy to be
pursued toward foreigners for the future.
They have commenced to act, bat it is to he
seen whether they will be permitted by the
Western nations to 'resume the tranquility
of their minds" We are inclined to think
that they will not. The butchery of the Sis
ters of Mercy and the Russian traders last
June was but the beginning of a relentless
war Of determination. The plan adopted by
the bigoted opponents of the conciliatory
policy Of Prince Kung to incite the depraved
common people TO acts Of murder aud out
rage was well suited to the purpose. This
most vlllainous falsehoods concerning Chris
nifty and the motives and objects of Chris

\ DUTY or THE PEOpLE.-It is with
out regard to the position or wealth, to
discharge their political obligations in
every community, beginning at the prima-
ry meeting and ending ut the polls. Ii
wrongs exist and dishonest men get into
office, it is the fault of the honest men of
the country who rave the power TO keep
welI-known rogues out OF Office, by uniting
to defeat them whenever presented us can
didates. Honest men are in the majority
in every community. Tucy eau control
the event Of every political contest when
the issue is one Of the public morals, and
it is their duty to do 1t. On this subject
The Boston IdrcriScr says. truly:
attention to politics in country like
ours is as much the duty of good citizens
as attention To any other duties oi life.
Whoever maintains that politics is dis
honorable business or unworthy gentle
mans interest must be set down rs a snob.
No man may excuse hiasef for shirhing
the duties of his place and time by talter-
ing his selllshucss and assuming that his
nature is too fine for the strain of resisting
the devil. The rich and cultivated men III
New York knew well enough five years ago
the men who ruled the city, but nothing
moved them 10 lend hand except the
plain showing, by columns of figures that
they were robbed. Then they began To
lay the matter to heart, 10 cake counsel
with politicians, to address assemblies of
the people, to organize honest men for
united action, to go 10 cNucusscs, and more
important than all, 10 90 to the polls and
, vote. The result is Il great victory, but
tho shame is that dishonesty gained its
f1otho4 and accomplished its crimes be-
cause they had neglected politics hitherto.
/ Aud they worked and voted every year ia
