Yesterday the Franklin of our period-the
happy, hopeful aspirant for the Chief Magis-
tracy-honored the citizens of Poughkeepsie
with a visit and, after being most heartily re-
ceived and greeted by those to whom the Gin
cinnati nomination had made him an object OF
interest and curiosity, he delivered his long
promised lecture on the "Past, Present and
Future OF the ColoEed People His subject
was aimed, as its title evinces, to touch the
hearts Of every emancipated' son Of
sunny Africa in the city; but the indif-
ferent and ungrateful darkies, needless of
past favors and the fact that they might
be spurning an opportunity to listen to the
utterances Of our next President, discarded the
announcement concerning the lecture to attend
representation Of "Uncle TOMS Cabin" at
the Opera House. According to our despatch
in another column Mr. Greeley was not to be
disheartened because more whites than blacks
attended his lecture-the aggregate being
about one hundred, the colored race being
represented by about a third OF this number
and delivered sensible and instructive dis
course, showing how the colored people could
not only grow their own cabbages, but own
their own land and live in their own dwellings,.
The City Of Greeley, in Colorado, was pictured
in glowing colors and held up as an instance
of the grand advantages Of cooperation. Sub
sequently the lecturer was serenaded at his
hotel, and gave the citizens who honored him
an instance Of how to make speech without

we took and have maintained throughout this
controversy The few timid selfish or I'M
worthy American citizens who would be will
ing to bend the knee to England and see their
own country humbled for the sake of personal
interests should not be needed The Senate
should regard first the honor and dignity of
the republic. Nor can ii fail to see how the
popular heart pulsates ON this question. The
expressions of little group of merchants,
bankers and stockholders, the clamoH of
those who have claims against England
aud of the lobby in their interest, and all the
intrigues of capitalists, telegraph spectators
and the English ring around the State
Department ought TO have little weight with
Senators or the President in this matter The
honor of the republic and sentiment of the
mass Of the people are paramount considera-
tons, and should control the action of the
Senate and President. What if the Washing
ton Treaty should fail There would be no
We were getting along very well, peaceably
and friendly before the diplomatists, Joint
High Commissioners and politicians began to
make all this trouble. Both nations were
careful to svoid offence But in an evil hour
political and ambitious chiefs, on both sides,
tried to maize capital ont of treaty, and
afterwards by quarrelling over it. till at last
we have got into the worst sort of entangle-
ment and the country is Inundated. If the
whole matter were dropped the politicians
might lose their capital but England and the
United States would go along friendly and
smoothly enough till the arrival of a more
convenient time for the adjustment Of out
standing difficulties Let us hope the Senate
will reject the supplemental treaty, which
wouldbe better named the supplemental sur
render and abide by our case as it stands,
leaving the responsibility with England of
destroying the Washington Treaty if she
chooses to do 50.

ROYAL PHELPS SIGNS THE MEMORIAL of the
millionaire ring Of New York asking the
United States Senate, in a roundabout un-
certain manner, to abandon the American
case presented to the Geneva Conference. He
gives as his reason for desiring this compromise
of the national honor the apprehension that
three thousand millions OF securities held by
foreign creditors will be sent here for settle
ment in case we refuse to yield to the English
demands, and that 1.-THE vast interests OF the
railroads being built in this country, and
whose "bcnds are lying on the market waiting
for foreign takers will suffer. This is the
case ofthe moneyed advocates Of surrender in
nutshell. The almighty dollar is OF more con-
sequence to them than the honor of the coun-
try. Let US back down before English threats
and buster sooner than strike dollar of the
value Of the securities held by the millionaire
ring,

The FoLLowINe OUGHT TO BE THE TRUE
text of the petition to the United States
Senate signed by the patriotic members Of the
Chamber Of Commerce: 1.-The undersigned,
citizens Of New York, while they would not
urge anything which the government Of the
United States cannot honorably accept desire
to express their profound conviction, irrespec-
tive of party, that the present interests and
prospective welfare Of themselves and their
families demand an additional article to the
Treaty Of Washington which, by degrading
the American government and according all
the arrogant demands Of England, will deter
English capitalists who hold our securities
from throwing them on the market and thus
depressing temporarily the value OF the prop
erty of the undersigned, and will enable the
undersigned to continue to fly their railway
and other kites on the London Stock Elk
change. And your petitioners will ever pray.

CYRUS W. FIELD, whose interests lie in the

men, that the instant d British Ministry en-
dorsed or permitted the consideration of con-
s6duehtial damages before the Geneva Tribu-

the reason our government is required by Lord
Granville to abandon its case and eat it's
own words. To save Gladstone and his Cabl-
net we are to sacrifice our national honor and
to consent to stultfy ourselves before the

The News from Japan.


BY steamship at San Francisco, and thence,
overland by telegraph, we have news from Japan
dated in Yokohama on the 23d of April. The
city Of Yokohama was again visited by serious,
and most disastrous fire. The prevalence Of a.
severe gale of wind served to give life to the
flames and spread the conAagration extensively
and ruinously. Thirty thousand persons have
been rendered houseless by the visitation. The
work Of material progress continued, but the
people as nation still look back to the in-
herited prejudioes of the past, and evidently
with favor towards the social customs of their
ancestors, Foreigners are to be admitted
to the great industrial fair in Kioto, but the{
government intends to make their presence q
test Of their fitness for general commercial in,
tercourse with the natives and appears to be-
we'll disposed to seize the occasion Of the oc-
currence Of any stranger misconduct during
the exhibition as an excuse for a return to tho
old system Of nativist exclusion of foreigners:
