the equivalent of the millions paid on ac-
count of claims. Here, therefore, is the ex-
hibition of the relations of jobbery to the
grievance. Upon this primary project of
robbery any additions might be grated by
other schemes and the effect was always the
same, TO discredit by associating with it-an
evidently fraudulent scheme-the legitimate
call of the Texas people for protection.
They do not say so much about indemnity
as about immediate and present security for
their lives and property, and it seems hard
that they should be denied this because un-
scrupulous men have endeavored to make
money out of their miseries.
AS to our relations with the Mexican gov
ernment arising from these troubles the case
is not peculiarly difficult. Mexico either
pretends to govern the country nominally
within her limits or she relinquishes such
pretence. She is under the same obligation
to MS, if she pretends to govern that coun-
try, that England is to us with regard to the
northern border or that we are to England.
Every nation must prevent at its own peril
and at its own expense every use of its ter
ritory as base of hostile operations against
its neighbor /; and if it fails to prevent the
operations of criminals it must surrender or
punish them and pay indemnity for the
damage they have inflicted. If it fails to do
this if it neglects or is unable to fulfil
these obligations of friendly nation after its
attention is repeatedly called to grievances
like those before us; if year follows year and
the depredations continue, then a state of
wnr exists; and whether this exists because
the nation whose citizens are the offenders
is indifferent to it's duty or unable to perform
it makes but little difference to the govern
ment whose people are the victims. 1t is
the duty of that government to recognize
the state of war forced upon its people and
act accordingly in their defence For our
government to hesitate to pursue Mexican
marauders upon Mexican soil out of regard
to international right, when that govern
ment has so little regard for such right as to
permit the repetition of these outrages for
ten years, is to make respect for law the op-
preston of the people, and is, in fact, to
put the law in such a position as to make
every man its enemy. Our government must
protect the Texas people, and it must operate
on the Mexican soil as much as is necessary to
do this. If Mexico does not like this she must
take the consequences, and is responsible as
the cause of it; but we are inclined to believe
that Mexico would be thoroughly well
pleased, on proper representation, to turn
over to our charge on our side of the river or
her side all the bandits of Tamaulipas.

Those who believe in the dictum that ''the
child is father to the man" do not often
bring to its support the fact that diseases
contracted in youth spread their hurtful in
luence over the remainder of life. Injury
to the system through the respiratory or
gans of children often entails a manhood of
suffering, and hence we are glad to see that
one of our contemporaries has taken up the
overcrowding practised in our public
schools in thorough and practical man
ner. Superintendent Riddle, in his last an
nual report, called attention to this subject ;
but it seems that a strong public opinion
must be created before any reform is attain
able. While providing healthy instruction
to the young we must take care that the DIR
through which it reaches their ears is not so
vitiated as to be absolutely dangerous to
their bodies. The manner in which in some
of the schools children arc packed in unven-
tilated and badly lit class rooms is shocking
and parents, when made aware of 1t, will has
ten to join tho press in having this disgrace
full state of things altered. In oil schools
the danger of epidemic diseases being intro
duced and afterward spread among the
pupils requires constant vigilance, but when
the same air must be breathed over and over
again for hours disease once present can
scarcely be prevented from claim
ing fresh victims. This, although a
terrible danger, is not by any means
blood from breathing impure air goes on
constantly in such schools, making holes, as
it were, in the system for host of diseases
to fasten their hooks in. To children with
delicate lungs it is almost certain death, and
when, after months Of attendance, such a
child sickens and is taken from school, the
fault is often laid on the child's recklessness
out of doors, when the frolics in the fresh
air have been the only things that allowed it
to endure the sitting process so long. We
are informed that many of the teachers en-
deavor to rectify the ventilation in the most
crowded schools by opening the windows for
a few minutes; but in mid-winter this is
scarcely less dangerous than the hot, i'm
pure air, for the sudden influx of an
icy current of air ON the uncovered
heads of the little ones must produce the
most violent colds and catarrhs. Now, it
becomes imperative that all our day schools
should be roomy we'll ventilated and sunlit.
Our Board of Health has failed to act in this
matter, and, indeed, seems as little able to
formulate as desirous to enforce a proper
system of hygiene. 1t, therefore, lies be-
tween the press and the public to raise such
a cry about this smothering of the innocents
that the matter shall be remedied without
delay. Every paper if the metropolis
should do its utmost to help bring about
this needed change. However people may
be divided about keeping the Bible in the
opinion respecting the necessity of expelling
impure air.

NoN ARSIM's TROUBLES seem unlikely to
decrease. The Emperor has refused his pc
tition to visit his sick son, and has not re-
piled to his family's prayer for pardon.
Meanwhile the Foreign Office, which his foe,
Bismarck, controls, has preferred against
him accusations of high treason and insult
ing the Emperor Bismarck and the Foreign
Office. The moral of all this is that Bismarck
is Germany. for Won Arnims offences are
purely personal to the Imperial Chancellor
no matter how they are twisted. This lug
ging in of the Emperor, high treason, and
20 forth, is only to show that the great crime

MINISTER ScHENcK, it would seem, has been
reused to the fighting point respecting his
share in the Emma Mine scandal He is
announced to start for the United States
next Saturday, and will send before him n
strong denial of the truth of Lyons testi-
mony before the Committee of Foreign AZ
fairs. 1t is rather hard on our Minister to
England TO see Baron Grant denying the
veracity of the same witness; for it brings
Mr.. Schenck into such unpleasant proximity
with stockiobber that it looks to use a
homely phrase as though both were "tarred
with the one brush" and Mr. Schenck S
only safety is in standing alono.

The DmEcT CAB1T.-It is to be hoped that
ihe Direct Cable Company will hold out
against oil efforts to absorb il in the rival or
yanization. The news with which we are
;his morning favored respecting the present
apparent failure of the amalgamators
IS encouraging, but we are sorry to
say does not seem final. The story
that comes from on board the repairing
steamer Faraday respecting the break OF
last January is gravely suggestive. The
description Of the condition of the cable at
.he break seems TO leave no doubt that the
severance was designedly Effected by human
means, and if this can only be established
beyond cavil both the American and English
governments should unite in endeavoring
to- track out and punish the criminals. Men
capable Of inspiring or committing such a
crime are enemies of the human race, and
differing from Thomassen, tho dynamite
assassin, only in degree, not in kind.

CENTENNIAL NoMrSAr1oSs.-A correspon

CENTENNIAL NOMINATIONS. correspon-
dent, in letter printed yesterday,
accepts our suggestion that we have a
patriotic, centennial Hail Columbia can
vass, by nominating General Hancock for
President and John Quincy Adams for Vice
President. The General is q good soldier
and a noble citizen. But the essential quail
ifcation for the centennial canvass is that the
candidates shall bo lineal descendants of
some of the great men of the Revolution.
Now Johnny O." is the great grandson of
John Adams, and thoroughly eligible. But
how about General Hancock? We want an
old-fashioned Revolutionary canvass one
that will bring up the old times with al,
their glory. To that end let us have candi-
dates from the Revolutionary stockholm the
Adamses, the Hamiltons the Jays, the
Hamptons, the Middletons the Cadwaladers.
the Lees, or some one of the glorious names
which are associated with our independence.
So before we take Hancock we must have his
pedigree.

CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESIDENCY should

while Dudley Field is questioning Tilden.
The candidates should be very careful.

The Tribune intimates in a vague way that
among the converts made by Moody and
Sankey at the Hippodrome are George Bliss,
the government District Attorney, ex-Gov-
ernor Shepherd, of the District of Columbia.
and Hon. Hugh J. Hastings The Tribune
is so accurate and gives so much attention to
religious affairs that we presume this in
formation is official. But as yet these gen.
tlemen have not made public profession of
faith. One of the essentials of true conver-
sion is that the rescued sinner shall rise UP.
and in open meeting proclaim his fealty to
the Saviour and tell how light came This,
as Brother Moody remarked the other even.
ing, requires a sacrifice of pride, and it may
be that the Tribune means to say that Bliss,
Shepherd and Hastings are still in the 'in-
quiry room," still laboring, and have not
come out and proclaimed their conversion.
Be this as it may, however, the fact that
three gentlemen so prominent in the world
should become open followers of Moody and
Sankey is happy omen. 1t shows that
Moody and Sankey are driving their work
home-that they mean to fight the devil

however, these converts are all republicans.
They have powerful influence in that
party. Great good must result from their
accession to the ranks of Christian workers.
But let us have some democratic converts.
Why not make campaign against John
Kelly, and Roosevelt, and O'Brien? Let uf
have q revival in both parties. Thus far the
republicans are ahead.
1t may be that Bliss, Shepherd and Hast
ings mean to capture Moody and Sankey for
the canvass. This conversion may be until
latter the election" Such capture would
be an invaluable card for the republicans.
The democrats should look about them, and
by sending some of their representative
leaders into the inquiry room neutralize the
efforts of the cunning republicans.

LouIsIANA.--O Washington dispatches
say that the democrats feel concerned about
the impeachment business in Louisiana, and
we'll they may be. The democrats in Louisi-
ana are bent upon running the democratic
cause. They began with the McEnery revo-
luton, q most outrageous, unlawful pro-
ceeding, that threatened the country with
civil war. Now they propose to take possess
sion of the government in Louisiana by n
subterfuge.' First it was force; now it is
fraud. The country looks with deep anxiety
upon nll these expedients, and asks, What
would these men do in " Washington if they
had power? impeachment is sacred
remedy, not to be used as a political expe-
dient. We want reconstruction in the South,
and not revolution. If these schemes con-
tinue, and some wisdom is not shown by the
democrats, the Presidential election will be
n walk over, as il was when Grant ran against
Greeley.

journalistic Changes.

The announcement that Mr. Jennings has
retired from the Times is followed by an
other to the effect that the Express is to pass
into the hands of some of the most ex-
perienced of our local statesmen. Among
those named as the new managers are Au-
gustus Schell, William A. Boyd and Fred
erick Smyth. Mr.. Schell is one of the
oldest and ablest of our citizens, and has
been a long time in public life. He ante
dates Mr.. Hastings, the republican leader,
and Mr.. Hastings, according to the diary of
John Quincy Adams, was in close relations
with jackson forty years ago. The Express
is fine, old-fashioned newspaper, and in
the hands of Mr.. Brooks has attained a high
degree of responsibility. Now that it passes
into the control of Mr. Schell, Mr.. Boyd and
Mr. Smyth, it is not too much to suppose
that it will become a positive influence in
politics.
1t is singular fact that while the morning
newspapers are going out of politics the
evening journals are ranging themselves
under party flags. The leader of the repub-
lican party, Hugh j. Hastings, is the editor
of the Commercial ACrertiser, a straight-out
hog-and-hominy republican paper. Mr.
Hastings believes in discipline in shooting
deserters. His first choice for President is
Grant, his second choice Conkling. Mr..
Schell, feeling, no doubt, that an agency as
powerful as that of Hastings should be con-
troverted, takes the only sensible way of
doing so by going into a newspaper. He is
the leader of the democratic party in the
State, and the chairman of the National
Democratic Committee. Mr. Hastings will
find in Mr.. Schell foeman worthy of his
steel, and we may look forward to lively
times during the coming canvass.
1t is also our pleasant duty to welcome
William A. Boyd and Frederick Smyth into
the ranks of journalism. Mr. Boyd was the
Fouquier Tinville to Robespierre Kelly dur
ing the Reign of Terror. His special work
was to send suspected democrats to the
block. Mr.. Smyth was John Kelly's candi-
date against Recorder Hackett, and would be
Recorder to-day but for circumstances over
which he had no control. We wish Messrs
Boyd and Smyth all possible success in
their new profession.

UP. .TfYS LETTER.

The letter of Mr.. John Jay, which, although
written some time ago, We are only able to
make room for this morning, abounds in
practical and timely suggestions. As the
date for the opening of the Centennial
Exhibition draws near, multitude of minor
but still important points present them
selves for careful consideration, and the
counsel Of an American citizen who has
had such unusual experience of exhibitions
abroad, seeing just wherein we were lacking,
wherein Others oxccllcd, and where there is most
danger of annoying and discreditable disputes
becomes of especial value. Mr.. Jay is quite
right in saying that Congress will naturally de-
sire TO provide against a recurrence of the IT.
regularities which compelled change in our
management at the exhibition in Vienna
That is the most important matter for Con-
gress now to consider, and we trust it may be
taken up without unnecessary delay.
The plain and sharp words which Mr.. Jay
uses in speaking of transactions which most of
lis would be glad to forget will perhaps pro-
woke quarrel but no matter for that. The
Vienna scandal never was properly settled, and
we must expect it to return to plague us at
least until we have demonstrated, by the char
acter of our official representation Mt Philadel-
phia, that we bear some better tribute to the
civilization of the age than "American drinks
"and American corruption"

4 CONTACT OF ACCOMMODATIONS.

Gen. Banks made "a strong speech" on the
Centennial bill the other day.. and the Wash
ington correspondents tell us that he reused
the galleries, and his address was punctuated
with applause. lie urged the appropriation Of
money for the Centennial on many grounds
with which we do not intend to quarrel; but
when he undertook to prove that under the
treaty making clause of the Constitution Con-
gress not only possessed the right but had
incurred the obligation to provide money for
the show, he needlessly laid himself open to
attack We have invited all the States of the
world, said the General, to come and visit
us, and shall We not pay the expenses of their
entertainment Congress has power to make
a treaty. Well, what is treatyf 1t is "a
compact for accommodation between sov-
