The japanese Embassy which arrived in this
city this afternoon Is the most important COM
mission which has ever left that far-oii country
IL includes one hundred and fourteen members
and represents the nine departments of the
japanese government. The embassy of lSe0 was
simply delegation OF officers of inferior rank
whose only duty the formal ratif cation i'm
this city OF a treaty which had been signed a
wear before i'll YeddO. That of 1877 was of a still
lower grade, and had no purpose beyend pur-
chasing iOr the Tycoon a steamer. The present
dePutaticn. on the contrary, unites almost the
highest personal position with the largest polit-
zeal power. The Chief ambassador, Iwakura
- a member of that class of the nobility
which has always been especially attached
10 the MikadO-s court, and the lowest among
whom superior in rank TO the greatest
OF the daimios, when daimios existed
In answer &c the question what are the es-
PcCIal objects and designs of this elaborately
organized mission il may occasion some sur
iTise TO hear that, in the ordinary political
sense, i; has no definite and determined purpose
There are no international questions formally to
discuss or settle, for the revision OF the treaties
= not &C. take place until after the return of the
delegation, a year hence. The intention is to
occupy year in study OF the social. commercial.
ami Political institutions of the various nations
Win WhlCh Japan now has diplomatic relations.
That the results OF this Investigation will he
brought to bear upon the treaty question when
u reCurS. j., of course, to be expected but il is
by no means with this sole view that the tour
was undertaken. There il, just now, i'm the
highest quarters in Japan a weII-grounded con-
vctisn that the efforts TO bring the country for
wsIdt TO the standardof development at which il
aims, and TO reform the government according
to the most advanced ystems OF other nations.
should be regulated bya more thorough acauaint-
ance with those systems than at present exist
The eddo correspondent OF the n. Y. Tribune
says that the scheme OF American and Euro
pean Investigation is not TO terminate with this
single commission. On the contrary, it is to be
lasting. at least for a long time to come. As
soon as lwakura and his party shall have re-
turned, il is understood that Saniio, the first of
all the executive officers under the Mikado. will
start ON similar tour, accompanied by a body
OF assistants of somewhat superior rank to those
who are Tow setting out. Practically, however
the more important work will be ACCOMPLISHED
by this Embassy.

APrEARANCE OF FrsK's AssAssIN.-A New
York paper says of the appearance of Edward
;. Stokes on Tuesday, that he looked infinitely
better than he did a few days before His face
was rudty and his appearance cheerful His
moustache was waxed TO a marvellous degree of
stability, and his hai-, slightly tnged with gray
His clothes were just as elegant and as scrupu-
lously clean as ever. If looks tell ANYTHING.
they tell that Stokes is more and more CONVINCED
that IN the end the case will not go hard with
him. The good-looking and jolly murderer is
very decided in this opinion, as he said recently
that he expected to be in Paris in August

s'ryatve government, Mr.. GIL adstone unreserv-
edly indorsed his viceregsl policy.

Perhaps some of our readers have
thought that we have given too much
prominence TO the Ku-Klux law. We
do not think so. The question.is of the
last Importance. Junius wrote down
the assumptions Of George the Third.
Why may not the American press write
down the assumptions Of Grant, Have
we made no progress to freedom within
the last hundred years2 Is an American
President in 1872 to WELD power de-
MED to the sovereign of the frat State
in Europe a century ago9 The Ku-Klux
law was purely partisan measure. 1t
had no justice in it. II overturned the
rights Of the States and brought their
authority into contempt. Itsresults are
before the couRtry. The old writ Of
liberty was suspended, martial law pro-
claimed, and the people oflarge sections
Of the country were arrested, fined and
imprisoned, or driven from their homes.
The infamous measure, by its terms,
expired with the session Of Congress
that has just closed. For months past
the advocates of personal government
have struggled to have it re-enActed.
After exhausting their utmost strength
and strategy, the party has been com
PEELED to adjourn Congress without
its passage. Mr.. Grant must 20 into
the contest without the bayonet. With
olt that he is nothing.
