THOSE newspapers which are so desirous
that the opinion of the people should be ex-
pressed against the declaration that Hayes is
elected President are seeking TO increase the
opposition to Hayes by making up Cabinet
for him and asking the people if they will sup
port such an administration. For example,
Senator Blaine is mentioned as Secretary of
the Interior and Mr.. Bristow as Secretary OF
the Treasury. But the Utica Herald says
that, while no sensible man can believe that
Senator Blaine will consent to be Secretary
of the Interior under any administration,
both parties will be delighted if Hayes will
take Blaine and men like him as counseors
Doubtless he can have any position in the
gift of President Hayes; and the last canvass
proved that the Republican party contains no
leader who possesses the confidence of the
people all over the Union in so large meas
ure or elicits more OF enthusiasm and admi-
ration than he commands. In or out of the
Cabinet Senator Blaine is in his own strength
positive and growing pUwer.''

The japanese InsurreetiOn.

Western barbarians have been struck with
wonder at the extraordinary spectacle pre-
sented in Japan where an ancient and powerful
aristocracy surrendered from motives of pat
riotism, the dangerous privileges it had long
held. its chief resigning his position as virtual
head of the State and leading the move
ment for the restoration of authority to the
old dynasty. 1t was believed that no long
established class in any western nation was
capable of like unselfshness and virtue.
1t seems that the patriotic course of the
daimios or mobiles has not been followed by
all their subordinates. These mobiles have
each large body of military retainers called
Samurai, men brought up to war in the SER
vice of the State and knowing no Other way
TO live. At the time the Tycoon or Shotgun
was deposed and the supremacy of the Mka-
do restored it was thought unwise to leave
the control of the army in the hands of the
Samurai, and so it was ordered that the
troops should be raised from among the COM
mon people. The military retainers were
however too powerful to be set adrift at once,
and so pensions were granted them. This
was in 1869. For some years Japan made
rapid progress in wealth and the arts of peace
Little opposition to the great change was
manifested, and the new government felt it.
self strong enough to undertake further meas
ures. As the payment of pensions to the
Samurai was felt to be very onerous the au-
thorities proposed scheme 10 1873 by which
all pensions of less value than one hundred
dollars per annum should be commuted by
cash payment of six times the yearly pension.
There was some opposition to this, bnt it
was overcome, the military retainers not
pressing their objection because they hoped
to retrieve their fortunes by the war with
Corea believed to be imminent, war which
necessitated large increase of the army.
But peace councils prevailed and the claims
against the Coreans were satisfied without
war. Then the government seeing the feeble
opposition its first scheme excited proposed
a more elaborate one by which all the PEN
sions. some of them equalling $4,000 year,
were TO be coInmuted. Then the discomfort
OF the Samurai broke forth, and in four
provinces where they were strong they broke
forth into actual rebellion. For time they
were successful, but the government soon got
the upper hand, and is now, it is thought,
able to subdue all further attempts at rebel
lion.
The insurrection is probably the last out
break of old Japan against the new order of
things. The faint encouragement and SYM
pathy it has received are evidences that the
people OF that wonderful country are well con-
tent with the changes wrought and with the
liberal policy of their sagacious rulers. The
world may confidently trust that Japan will
take no backward step, bnt will move steadily
forward in the path of enlightenment and
progress.

The national banks of the city of New
York have now, as they have long threatened,
begun to retire their capital. Their business
has been steadily decreasing while the taxes
upon them remain as large as ever. To avoid
the onerous taxation they have taken the on
ly course open to them, that of reducing their
capital. The Metropolitan is to cut down its
capital from $4,000,000 to $4,000, 900, the Ma
tional Exchange from $5OO,0O0 to 100000,
the Fourth National from $5,000,000 to $3,-
100000. Others will doubtless follow their
example, not only in the city but elsewhere.
The Fourth National asserts that it will thus
be relieved 10 the extent of the reduced capit-
al from the excessive national, state and mu-
nicipal taxation which amounts to over five
per cent. By the reduction the earnings of
the bank applicable to dividends will not be
materially lessened, and the shareholders will
receive better return. The saving is esti-
mated at 100000 year. 1t is proposed as
far as possible to effect the reduction by pur-
chasing and cancelling stock when the same
can be obtained at par, though it may become
necessary TO call upon the stockholders to
relinquish some Of their shares to be paid for
at par. The profits of national banking have
evidently been vastly overestimated.
