Tho curious disposition of English writer's n de-
scribe Americans as continually using in convcrsa-
ton what they call "AmoricanismS' Is again Illus
trated in The Parisians." Lord Lytton solennly
pictures certain Colonel Morley as man culh-
waited. refined, with something even IT lordly air:
and yet no babtuay addresses his intcrlocutors as
Sir and takes q Whimsical delight in shocking
British ears by such words "fogfed" and gal
lantizingD The novelist does not attempt to per-
suade us that his Colonel does MT possess bettor
rhetoric but this concession scarcely improves the
weak lines in his drawing. Constantly " use ab0rn-
Unable grammar and false phrases for the sake
of irritating English ears is little characteristic
of cultivated Americans that Lord Lytton's only
excuse is ignorance of his subject. His American Is
worse more ridicuou9y untrue, than Charles
Reade's-certanly that is enough TO say. The want
of knowledge 30 frankly shown by these two. spe-
ciaiy belongs to England, if we may judge by tho
swafms of anecdotes which confess it, An amusing
instance is that related by the editor of Every SatuT-
day who, once returning to his native land with an
English emigrant of the best sort, found this intcil-
gent mechanic going about inquiring what stops no
should take, on reaching New-York TO discover tho
Indians and canoes which were. of course to trans
port him and his family and his personal effects up
the Hudson, or some other river to Chicago.

items. One order from the Board of Public
Works commanded certain contractors to

and consisted of digging cellar. The amount
of the expense was divided around among the

Free Trade is evidently in dSrepute in Canada
the resolutions adopted at the recent meeting OF
manufacturers at Toronto being emphatic in do
handing o higher tariff. The manufacturers COM
plain that the 20 and % per cent duties Of tho tariff
of 1859 were lowered Is per cent by that of 1854
and that they are now unable to contend against
American and British competitors. They assert that
Protection was quickly followed by great expan-
sion of manufactures; that tho principle is acted
upon in practice" by land grants to railways and
subsidies to ocean steamers whatever prctense OF
repudiating it In theory may be made!' They fur
Their represent that it is "the duty of the Govern
ment and the Parliament to take the most efficient
measures that can be devised for causing iron to DO
made as well as used in Canada" and with good rea-
son observe that the increase Of manufactures IN
any country is beneficial not only to those engaged
in them but also to the farming community and
other interests After thus giving expression to
their views the manufacturers agreed upon tariff
levying in the main Is per cent and formed an asso
citation to secure its adoption. These proceedings
show very clearly that after fair trial FREQ Trade
has proved failure and that return TO lpdustriA
Protection Is the unanimous desire OF the ieAIipg
manufacturers in the Dominion.

Postal Telegraphy survives its various de-
feats in Congress. What is known as the
Hubbard scheme has been worked over in the
Senate Committee on Post-0fices, and is to
be reported soon. The bill, which is printed
in full on the eighth page of THE TRIBUNE,
varies In some respects from the present
scheme; but its essential features remain I'M
changed. 1t is, in substance, proposition to
establish Postal Telegraph Company which
may contract with the Government for the
delivery of messages sent through the Post
Office; and the Postmaster Is charged
with the duty of establishing telegraph
stations.

For some time past there have been
rumors of anticipated trouble ut the as
snmblinr of the Constitutional Cunyen-
ton in Arkansas. The Brooks war has
not entirely ceased to shoulder and II
has been reported that three Of the
Judges of the Supreme Court, IN the
Brooks interest. have contemplated the
issuance of an Injunction against the
meeting of the Convention, calling
upon the Sheriff of the county III which
Little Rock is situated to take possession
Of the legislative halls and prevent the
assembly. 1t was reported that five
thousand negroes were in readiness to
support the Sheriff and renew the fight.
This accounts for the precautions
which. according to our dispatches
Yesterday morning were rrs"rt"d to
hy the conservatives, and the
Convention seems to have assembled and
commenced its deliberations in peace.
The political history Of Arkansas has
been in some respect, similar to that Of
West Virginia There. aS we'll a. here
= faction representing Il minority of the
people was in power at tn" close of the
WAR; and it resortcd to the sam"
machinery of test oathS and
registration, and wholesale dis
reimbursement to maintain its supremacy.
In West Virginia, however, tn" Radicals
did not go to the length of open war III
order to hold the offices and administer
IN, government of the State, and the pe"-
pie achieved by peaceful election in 1870
that supremacy which tn" voters in Ar
KANSAS have only obtained this year
through quasi revolution.
The Constitutional Convention now III

whrming majority Of Democratic mem
beers that characterized the West Nir-
yinia Convention OF 1872.
