Mr.. Editor!

MT. EullOI
Permitted by your indulgence, I re-
sumo my remarks on those glaring princl-
pies maintained in the Draft OF Labour
Regulations, lately revise and now LAID
before the Colonial Council /; which prln-
ciples seem to be quite at variance with
the wishes and intentions Of the Home
Government. 1t is very plainly stated IN
Governour Bille's letter which accompa-
MED the appointment of the Commission,
that the wishes and intentions of the Home
Government were, that there should be d
freer system followed out under present
circumstances than has been observed
during the existence of the present Labour
Act-a system which should bring about
by O natural course of things, such changes
10 the material life of the large population
of the labouriug classes, as would conduce
most to the Development of their energies
and also to their progress as o free people,
and also would enable the planters to do
the best for the improvement OF their ca
pital according to the energy and ability
of the individuals. The only point Of
standing importance contained in the ex-
isting Regulations which the Government

Senator Schurz accepted the situation in his
initial speech of the campaign at st. Louis last
night, the burden of which was that Greeley was
not his choice, bat as things were he would take
him Is the lesser evil. One reason he don't ike
Grant Is because the latter did not manage
southern affairs as he, SchuTz, would have DONE
To illustrate the wickedness of the alrninistra-
ton and his own superior virtue, he said that he
was offered all the patronage he desired If he
would favor the San Domingo scheme, but in
dignanily refused. The Senator was very severe
on the President, but acknowledged that she

thing. He prefers good appointments to bad
ones, other things being equal. lie undoubtedly
desires that affairs should go on well; his own
welfare included. Such is the character of his
personal government"
Acknowledging that the action Of the Cincin-
natl convention had caused disappointment to
himself (Schurz) and others, who wished its
declarations or policy, a. well as its candidates
TO lie such that the victory OF the movement
would furnish an administration approaching
the ideal Of good government as near as wis

ability and opportunities to DO good, may be
assured that in every effort to carry out the
Platform here laid down, L, as well as the many
able men who think as DO, will stand faithfully
and resolutely by his side with active co-opera-

Mr.. SchurZ then read q letter from himself to
Mr.. Greeley, inqairing what he meant By
'tkorcIgh reform in the civil service" and also

Mr.. Louis Fitzgerald Tasistro of this city
prints card III one of the New York papers in
reference to the statements affecting himself
made by Catacazy-farniliarly known as "Oli
Cain his late pamphlet, in which he (Tasis-
tro) accuses Catacazy OF having told give dis
tinct, deliberate, premeditated lies-lies which
ne knew 70 be such when he printed them, an q
which, like many others of his coinage concern
ing other people, he only ventured to utter after
having placed the convenient distance of 1000
miles between his precious self and the objects
OF his venomous spite" The five lies referred
10 are, first, the statement that Tasistro was a
discharged employe OF the State Department;
second, that he, T., offered to compromise the
Perkins claim for few thousand dollars; third,
that lie, Catacazy forbade the advocates of the
Claim mentioned access to his house; fourth,
that IaSistro retTacted his assertions in regard
to the authenticity of the intercepted dispatches
vhish exposed Catacazy's treachery; and
NTH, that Catacazy so tampered with the text
oi the dispatches translated by Tasistro that in
his defence" il bears but little resemblance to
the document on file at the State Department.
In closing Tasistro says he lately offered to di-
vulge 10 certain parties connected with the
Russian legation how he became possessed of
the dispatches, but was answered that il WAS
not worth while as "Catacazy was dead cock
in the pit"

Has Mr.. Greeley already designated his Cabi-
net? 1t would appear so, for the Springfield
Republican, which ought to be good authority.
says, "were it permitted to him to frankly tel
the country now the names OF the gentlemen
whom, If elected he should call to his Cabinet.
and appoint to such representative executive
places as the eustom-houses of our great cities,
confidence in his wisdom would be powerfully
accelerated" The Philadelphia Press remarks
that " there is an old adage about specializing
in embryonic nature which ought to suggest
some good advice for Mr.. Greeley and his
friends"

I'll. government of Japan has gi,

TLe government of Japan has giv5H another
proof OF good will toward the United States in
the recent reception accorded Rear Admiral
jenkins, Of the Ams..icsn navy, by the Mlkado.
A few weeks ago a new BriII.-1 charge q anane'
arrive at Yedo, ard presenting his ere.ieh'lais'
demanded an interview with the bIkado. He
wss oOurteousIy informed that the usual inter-
view would be accorded HIM, but he replied
that. contrary 10 his former custom, the Mikado
must receive him standing. His demand was
not acceded to, and he lett YedO in a huff for
Yokohama where he consulted with the diplo-
matte REPRESENTATIVES of the United States,
France and Russia. II Is stated that the repre-
sentatives Of the two latter powers advised him
to insist On his original demand. but that the
American consul general held different opin-
ion. and declined TO join in any dictstion to the
MikadO, on the ground that he had the ri1h33 N
prescribe any reasonable rules for the reception
OF ambassadors. A r. tays later Rear Admiral
JENKINS @rrived, and the japanese officials, not
Knowing the attitude of the American con-
Sui, approached him in regard to the re-
cepton the Mikado proposed to give the
admiral, and were greatly relieved to learn
that he had no idea OF opening the question at
all, and that he fully recognized the right of the
sovereign to regulate his receptions by any
Reasonable rules which seemed to him suitable
or convenient. At the same time he suggested
that II IL should appear in any way desirable to
the japanese to propose on their own part a
deviation from the established usage he should
be happy to cooperate with them. No reply
was received from the japanese officials until
the day on which the Admiral was to visit the
Mikado, when the latter informed the Ameri-
cans through his subordinates that he had
decided to offer the representatives OF the United
States the special compliment of welcoming
them standing, a mark of consideration which
he had offered to no other nation. The barrier
having thus been removed, it is probable that
the representatives Of other governments will
hereafter be received in a similar manner. 1t
Ii not by any means certain, however, that the
MikadO will submit to Gietation in regard to
japanese court etiquette, which in this case he
consented 10 modify only at the courteous
request Of our representative.

Philadelphia papers deplore the unprecedent-
ed sickly condition of that city and the great
number of deaths this summer, particularly the
enormous proportion OF infants which perish
from cholera infantum, but console themselves
with the thought "that, terribly fatal as the
summer has been with us, it has been thus far
still more fatal in New York."

gentleman of intelligence recen,lv wrote to
tne eminent Professor Tyndan to make a novel
proposition. He proposes to test the efficacy of
prayer IN general, and particularly Of PRAYER for
.he sick, by setting apart q certain hospital 10
pe specially prayed for by the whole body OF the
faithful for o given period OF time-say five
years. At the end of this term the death rate
could be compared with that of previous years,
and also with that In other wards or hospitals OF
the same grade for the same period, and thus 1t
could be seen whether the praying had had any
effect. Professor Tyndall does not seem to think
the idea bad one, as he says IL Is desirable to
have clearer notions than we now possess Of the
action OF Divine Providence In physical Affairs

One Year Ago.
By MRS. 4. L. STANLEY.

BY MRS. a. L. STANLEY.
There's lonely house, and vacant
chair;''
There's footstep lacking upon the stair;
There's face that was bright as the NOR
nings glow,
That we laid meath the snow-fiaxes, one
year ago.
There's a sweet little cherub with laugh
ing eyes,
AS clear and as blue as the April skies:
SO still came the angels, he did not know
That they took his dear mother, one year
ago.
There's beautiful voice that could war
BILE and sing,
Like the gay rills of summer, the glad notes
of spring,
And that sweet voice was heard, like a
musical flow,
'Mong the angels in heaven, one year ago.
There pale bridal dress softly folded
away,
With ring, and tear, and a mourners
sigh:
O, many the sad tears that over them flow,
Since we tenderly folded them, one year
ago.
There's a mound in the graveyard, and
once have the flowers
Blossomed thereon, in the bright summer
hours,
And the grass has grown green DER the
sleeper below,
That we laid, in her beauty, there, one
year ago.
But why should we mourn for our lost one
to-day?
IT'S only the casl1et that we've laid away.
The beautiful soul it enshrined here below
Sang her first hallelujah, one year ago.
o, beautiful one in thy bright home afar,
We know, by yon light, that the gates are
ajar;
And that thy happy soul was as white as
the snow
When it passed heavens portals, one year
ago.

The annual report of the Chief of the

Navigation gives the total value of the
foreign merchandise imported and enter
ing into consumption into the United
States for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1871, at 1913, 759, 1882, upon which
the aggregate duties amounted to $780,
446, 873.32. Of these importations mer-
chandise to the value of $340, 938, 507
was received at New York, paying $780,
227, 299.17 in duties, Among the arti-
cles of foreign production entering into
consumption in this country are manu-
features of cotton to the value $685.
5S7, 994.71, paying duties to the amount
of $40, 773, S32.4S; silk, manufactured
and manufactured, $31, 0S7, 1852 OF,

than the value Of Iron and steel, man
ufactured and unmanufactured, $43, 1885,
1893, paying $18,65s, 1895 to the

probably surprise a'good many people in
this country, and would astonish more
in Europe, to learn that boards, plank
and scantling to the value of $685.
1872 have been imported into the United
States during the year, to say nothing
about several hundred thousand dollars
worth of rough timber, and over two
hundred thousand dollars worth of fir
wood.
