Japan has taken great stride in the way of
free trade as well as in other reforms. Though
one Of the oldest nations in the world, it is
the last that has come into the family OF mod
ern commercial countries. The proclamation
of President Grant which we published yester-
day, abolishing discriminating duties on Jap
anese vessels entering the ports Of the United
States, and on the produce manufactures or
merchandise imported in such vessels, by way
of reciprocating like act on the part Of Japan
toward the vessels and cargoes of this country,

other or higher duties of tonnage or impost

made this declaration of reciprocity under the
authority Of an act of Congress empowering
him to do so. 1t appears that this action was
taken just now in consequence Of the arrival
of Japanese vessel at San Francisco, the ex-
act standing of which was not known, and
which it was necessary the government should
define. The United States will derive the
greatest advantage from this step toward free
trade with Japan, because the tonnage of our
vessels trading with that Empire is and will be
much larger than Japanese tonnage entering
our ports. Here is an example given by Ja-
pan and followed by the United States which
older and other commercial nations would do
well to follow.

distinctly. not vaguely and generally. This
Mets affair is the elimination of series of
so-called accidents, and an example must be
made of the guilty parties, if there be any,
that win act as a warning to the steamboating
fraternity. We should be happy if it can be
proved that no one was to blame but there
must be satisfactory reasons shown for such q
conclusion. The officers of the Metis more
than others are concerned in having such an
investigation conducted in the strictest and

been beyond reproach, in order that their in

But whether they are innocent or guilty, the
public want the investigation to be rigid, as q
proof that such accidents will not be lightly
passed over in future.

Return Of tho Fashionables-A Bril-
liant Season Anticipated.

liant Season Anticipated. :
The month of September is essentially
bustling one in this city. The gay birds of
passage that plume their wings in the realms
of fashion abroad and at the watering places
are in full fight homeward. Every steamer
brings its quota Of the wanderers, and the
trains bear them back in scores from the
mountains and seaside. On the Avenue and
the fashionable squares domestics are scrub
bling and cleaning away for dear life, and
making preparations for the return of the
family. But while the harpies of the
watering places are counting over their
seasons spoils their brethren across the
ocean have greater reason to congratulate
their good fortune in having the plucking
of passage. A trip to Europe every Summer
is fast becoming de rigueur with New Workers
whose bank account balances satisfactorily,
and the larscc e nees OF Ocean steamers tnas
leave or arrive at this port weekly does not
suffice to accommodate all the applicants for
staterooms. Europe sends us host of
emigrants annually, and goodly supply Of
hard cash with them. We return the compli-
ment with interest by delegation of Summer
tourists who SCATTER money without stint on
their travels. When the sun points his darts
In the merry month Of May, or the balmy
days of June, the hegira commences, and
every European steamer is filed to its utmost
capacity.
Few of the tourists have any definite course
shaped out for their visit to the ''Old Country"
except, perhaps, the facile one of getting rid
Of as much money as possible in Q short space
Of time. During the civil war here q crop of
milliou2aires sprang Up of the shoddy Species
and as they made fortunes easily they spent
them with the Same facility. This class of
people effected quito q revolution in their
travels in Europe. Their extravaganza en-
riched all the needy landlords and la.Szaroni of
the cities and spas, and transformed them rom
humble, obsequious Bonifaces to supercilioua,
disobliging caravansary keepers. In some
parts OF Europe it is almost as expensive to
travel or reside ut present as in this country,
which is saying gread deal. Uncle Sam was
such an excellent customer when the war was
in progress that the shoddy leeches cared little
for expense on the other side Of the Atlantic.
They took the place of the English milords,
and the sight of On American visitor had the
same effect upon French, Italian or German
hotel proprietor as that Of gold ''signs' on
miner. For couple of years after the war
those who had money to spare were too busy
in hosting their books and finding out the
exact relation existing between their assets and
liabilities. But now extravaganza has resumed
its povef,Tan millions are annually spent in
Eefope by American tourists.
But with the return Of the fashionables let
it not be supposed that there is the slightest
retrenchment in their expenditures On the
contrary, the thousand and one brilliant an

PRINCE B1sNAncK's Curious W1sH.-The
Prince Premier of Germany has been COM
plimented by the municipality of Berlin with
the freedom, or honorary citizenship, of
the Prussian capital His reply to the Mayor,
hitter receiving the corporate honor, was char
hcteristic of the man. He averred that the
meeting Of the Emperors strengthened conf
dence in peace, which was ''almost as valua-
able as peace itself" The precise meaning
which may attach to the concluding words is
very equivocal, particularly so to people who
have imagined that the German Empire, as at
present constituted, is dominion aggregation
of the peace principle conquered by war;
".Almost as valuable as peace itself!' Does this
denote that smouldering embers of the late war
with France remain on the battle fields from
Eaarbruck to Sedan2 The famous Prussian
expressed most curious aspiration next He
said 'the wished history could now remain at

The CoNaREss OF THE EMPERoRs.
Berlin demonstration has been grand in its
Iway. It has been a great triumph, in the
Ihrst place, for autocratic as contrasted
iwith democratic rule The Emperors enjoy
the show. It has been great triumph, in the
eecond place, for Germany The German peo-
pie tho wide world over enjoy the occasion,
because they know that it is the first demon
Stration of the kind which glorifies the German
race. All this is good and Ineligible. But
even the sun has it's shadow. The shadow in
fhis case comes through the London Times.
The Times expects that when the conference at
Berlin is over circular note will be issued
explaining its pacific nature. When the deed

WHEELING AND LAKE ERIE.

We publish this morning very In
teresting statement of the condition and
prospects of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railway Company and commend
it to careful perusal by our citizens. II
is full of important facts and sets forth
without undue color or exaggeration
some of the advantages to be attained
by the building Of the railroad IN ques'
ton. 1t is matter OF particular
interest to the citizens OF Wheel
ing at this time, as 1t seems
probable that we will soon be
called upon to vote for or against
q subscription to the capital stock OF
the road. The propur committee OF
the Second Branch of the City Council
was directed last night to prepare an
ordinance looking to that end, and 1t is
hoped that it will be perfected in time to
permit the popular vote to be taken
upon theI question at the special cleo
ton to be held on the lst Of June. We
believe that public sentiment will JUS
tify the Council in acting promptly in
REGARD to this matter and determining
the question without much delay.
We learn that the gentlemen who
have taken the contract to build and
equip the Wheeling and Lake Erie road
find, upon inquiry, that they can have
car wheels cast in this city more cheaply
than in Pittsburgh and that freight cars
can be built here cheaper than else
where. Not only will the shops o.
the road be located here, but it is prob
able that the greater part of the car
building for the road will also be
done 10 this city.

Negro Man Killed.

On the night OF the %, a colored
man named George Woodson, was
murdered at the ferry across New river
on the road leading from Newbern to
Snowville. 1t seems that four men,
Napoleon, David, and John French,
from Bland county, and James Dun
ford, Of Pulaski, called at the ferry
about midnight and demanded to
be taken across the river. The old
colored ferryman refused on the ground
of sickness, when the party commenced
abusing him. George Woodson, his
son, hearing the disturbance, came out
to inquire into the matter, when an al
tercation ensued between him and the
white men, which resulted in his death.
Dunford has been arrested and lodged
10 the Wythe county jail. The
Trenches have escaped. The colored
people OF the county were much ex-
asperated, armed themselves and went
in pursuit.
A reward Of 500 is offered for the
arrest of the parties.-Border Watch

THE RAILROAD BRIDGE.

The Council last night passed an
ordinance for submitting to the people
of the city at special election to be held
on the lst OF June the question of sub
scribing Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars to the capital stock Of the
company that proposes to build rail-
road bridge across the Ohio river at this
point. This is an important step in
the right direction and we feel confident
that i, will meet with popular endorse.

the passage Of the ordinance, no un-

branch. An effort was made by Mr..
STANTON to amend the ordinance by
providing that the subscription should

this would strengthen the proposition
before the people and avowed himself
in favor OF both the bridge and the
road to the Northwest. The Council,
however, thought that the conditions OF
the subscription might be safely left to
INSTRUMENTATION, and that sufficient
guarantees to secure the interest Of the
city might be obtained by the Council
after the popular vote was had. With
this view (and we believe it the
proper one, } the vote has been ordered,

city to say whether or not the bridge

August Belmont Would IL Shipping Go

August Belmont, the celebrated New
York banker and Democratic manager,
arrived in this city, yesterday, remained
a few hours at the st. Nicholas, in
quired for C. w. Woolley, wrote few
letters, took lunch, and left for VIM
cenues. He had with him servant, a
gun, a valise and a hunting dog. He
assured our reporter that he had merely
come West to kill few snipe and look
at some horses he has in Kentucky.
When our reporter smiled knowingly
and insinuated that probably we might
have the pleasure Of Mr.. Belmont :
presence here about the time OF the
Convention, Mr.. Belmont shook his
head and stated that he had an en-
ragcment in New York on the lst OF
Nav. He admitted, however, that he
was not lacking in ideas what ought to
be done there. Charles Francis Adams
was head and shoulders above every
body, and ought to be the nominee, and
the Democratic papers and leaders
ought to take back seat until ei er his
election. Politicians ought not longer
to come between the people and SUCH
men as Adams. After the election the
Democracy could put in their claims;
it was time enough then. For the
present, they ought to hold their peace
and acquiesce in such nomination.
He hoped Adams would be nominated
here.
1t would be necessary, Mr.. Belmont
remarked, for the masses Of people
coming here to get together by States
and accredit their delegates; other
wise the Convention could not well be
brought to working order.
Mr.. Belmont did not seem to think
that the Democratic Convention would
be held here. When assured that we
had the largest and best hall in the
country for such an occasion, he re-
marked that that, perhaps, was not
such desirable thing after all. A hall
of such a size gave too much chance for
the work of the lobby.-Cnctnnah Cone
