The action of the Lord Mayor of Dublin in
endeavoring to give to the O'Connell Centen-
nary celebration a purely Ultramontane charac-
ter has given great offence to the Home Rulers,
Feniaus and Liberals Of England and Ireland.
The invitations we're mainly extended to the
Catholic clergy and laity of England, France
and Germany, entirely ignoring the former
parties, and this course has led to an indignant
protest from the Home Rulers. 1t is said that
the Home Rulers and Fenians will have an in
dependent celebration of the Centenary, while
much bad feeling has been engendered by the
course of the Lord Mayor.

Prince Milan, Of Servia, has arrived at vi.
emma for the purpose of ascertaining what
course Austria intends to pursue in relation to
the troubles in Herzegovina. The Vienna
Presse broadly hints at a movement for the in
dependence of Servia, and says that should
Austria's action in the Herzegovina affair be
adverse to Turkey, it will be largely due to the
lack of energy displayed by the latter on the

REORGANIZATION OF THE CHAMBER OF
. u COMMERCE..

1t is an encouraging incident that this
body has been reorganized, by the ad-
dition OF new members and the reduction
OF rates. There are indications, moreover,
that it will be strictly non-political in its
action. The representation of all inter
ests and intelligence is of extreme con-
sequence in toe present condition of our
city. The Chamber of Commerce has
had always the confidence of the people,
and though scarcely exceeding the Senate
ofthe United States in numbers. has ex-
erclsed conservative influence of much
importance to the welfare of society.
With the reduced rates Of membership.
and the entire liberation of all political
and religious opinion, even the men of
most. moderate means may well become
members of this deliberative body. It
may thus do much to. prepare the public
mind for legislation of practical char
acter. We have in truth looked too much
at the action Of distant agencies, politi-
cal and industrial, and thereby failed to
organize and utilize our own domestic
energies gG

lier and more intimate social relations Of
the members or the press. The question
was discussed in the different Offices, and
everywhere found favor. On Sunday a
preliminary meeting was held. and yes
terday, at another meeting held in Parlor
? of the st. Charles. Hotel, the organiza-
ton was completed by the adoption of
rules for the government of the associa-
ton, and by the election of the following
named officers to serve for the ensuing
year:

treasurer; James Walpole. recording SEQ

The happiest results are expected from
this association. Similar organizations,
at which literary men, journalists and
artists became members, have been formed
In other cities. and have proved agreeable
to all The association in this CITY will
be- known simply as the Press Club. It
will include men from every paper in the
city; it will have no politics, no particular
religion, very few bylaws, good consti-
tuition, and the best wishes of all who
value the advantages to the city Of an in
telligent and harmonious press. The
Press Club, for this end will eschew DO
itical opinions, and cultivate friendships:
1t will have cosy place where lions and
lambs may meet, and it is believed the
will realize in the association

We can not omit reminding our St

important agency in constituting this
reciprocal trade intercourse. It is the
appointment Of Secretary Of State from
the West. 1t will be only necessary to
suggest that the West has had but two or
three Secretaries of State since the
foundation of the government. Mr.
Cass was the last Why not, then, in
some reorganization Of the Cabinet
it such an event should occur should
not Hon. R. T. Blow, of St. Louis,
or. some SUCH statesman, be called to
the stationI We will not cite his

Cincinnati have better man, let him DO

Southwest have Secretary Of State who
will pronounce an American continental
policy: l. For the substantial guarantee
of Republican freedom from here to Cape
Horn: and, 2. To organize the reciprocal
exchange and interchange of all American
republics.
We hope the friends Of the jetties will
add to the undoubted advantages of
deep water outlet in our commerce with
the East, the advantages of trade with
the tropics which such work will assure |

OUR OUTLET TO THE TROPICS.

| It is very great merit of the jetty tina
its effects will be manifest at an earl
period after its commencement, and as
Stunning that the success of the principle
IN so many principal rivers in Europe viii
assure similar result here, we may sketch
some of the consequences that must fol
low depth Of navigation adequate tt
any tonnage that is or that may be en-
ployed in commerce. s
All the theories Of improved outle'
commerce to which our attention has beer
called relate exclusively to the commerce
between the West and Europe We will
anticipate, therefore, the transportation
of bulk grain and other products, and the
importation of Western consumption to
any extent necessary to carry that COM
MERGE to its, utmost value and extent.
There is another Office, however, to be
achieved by the completed jetty to which
we do not think the attention of the West
and the Western capitalists has been called
There is an immense national demand
in the countries south of the gulf of Mex
leo. and an equal necessity on the part of
our Western interior, for the products of
those foreign countries. We pay for our
tropical products at least one hundred
and sixty millions of dollars, silver and
gold, annually.
We should be able to psy great deal
of this balance in our own productions.
This would be the case but for an impedi-
ment which the West can remove. It will
be found that each of the tropical coun-
tries adjacent to the United States raises
great part of its revenues by an excess
sive tariff on such articles as the Western
States chiefly produce for export. Spain
protects the farmer Of Catalonia by duty
of eight dollars, gold, on each barrel of
-four, and forty cents on every bushel of
American corn. Every variety Of, hog pro-
duct is taxed in like manner. -'
There are similar duties imposed IN
other tropical countries, and as conse-
quence the West is compelled to take
provisions to Europe, and encounter the
heavy competition of Russia, Austria and
Ireland, when but for these excessive
duties on our own continent large de.
mand for these products could be had at
our own doors. We hope, therefore, our
friends in the West will Use their inhu- |
ence with the government to secure such
a modification Of these trade treaties as
may lead to tie attraction of trade 10 and |
from these countries. Of course isucL |
trade must be conducted by way of the |
outlet. and the creation of |
navigation for vessels of
the largest burden will favor this |
great result immensely. If those
who interest themselves in these en-
terpises will add to the commerce with
Europe that which may be undoubtedly
by the removal of the physical
md diplomatic or revenue impediments
'lluded to, they will find their invest
nent to be based upon a commerce even
