The chief danger to Japan, in her ohronlo

The chief danger to Japan, in her chronic
dispute with Corea, Is from the Chinese who
stand behind the CoreaDs. During the ten years
or more In which the japanese have had this
trouble on hand, they have tried every way of
settling 1t. They have often threatened the
Coreans, who always reply with defiance. They
have got up expeditions against them, but the
Coreans were ready for resistance. They have
tried all the arts OF oriental diplomacy, but the
coreans have outwitted them. They have sent
representatives to Corea, but the Ooreans have
Imprisoned them. At the period OF our latest
accounts they had DESPATCHED q formidable
naval squadron to Corea; but there are con-
Trajectory reports about its reception. II CoTeA

Plymouth Church, which OF course means before
Mr.. BEECHER and Brother SHEARMAH. Then,
IL they wish the charges investigated, they are to
notify a committee OF three men who will select
the tribunal ont OF the twenty named oy the
Advisory Council. Mr.. BEECHER is thus enabled
to himself say whether the Investigate on shall
be made or not. lie In to be the Judge whether
the new facts are deserving OF consideration,
and before him they must be first brought. 1t
is like giving a criminal the right to decide
whether the evidence against him is strong
enough to require that he shall be tried. The
whole thing IL farce.

Capt. PARKINSON, the canal-boat revivalist Of

slight offence, on account Of the lack OF bail.
lie was arrested last week for ejscting from his
canal boat man who disturbed his meetings,
and as he could not obtain security for his APP
pearance he was locked up. When arraigned in
court on Monday last, he pleaded not guilty, but,
being stii without ball. was again committed to
prison, TO await trial. We should suppose that
some of the wealthy Christians behind the pres

serted. According to all accounts, he Ia Il self

and now asks, "whether the moral status OF

we should say that, as now managed, there Is
not much Christianity, hut a great deal OF crude
heathenism about It's moral status. Christianity
Is n religion that makes severe requirements In
the direction OF integrity, purity Justice. honor,
and Truth. IL prohibits merccnariness, SELFISH
ness, greed. falsehood, stealing, and all unclean-
ness. 1t Is an unyIelding religion and perempto-
~ In all its demands. Now. let anybody. keep

A DULL PROSPECT,

Sam. Tilden does not lose caste "worth
cent" in the South because he has been
detected in defrauding the revenue. In
deed, it is rather feather in his cap down
there. Moreover, his well opposi-
ton to maintenance of the unity of the
Republic during the late unpleassntness
! was one of the requisites which made him
especially available as Democratic candi-
date, and is the main reason why his friends
so confidently declare his ability to sweep
the South" His great popularity in the
rebellious regions of the South is the rea.
son why he is regarded with so much dis
trust at the North, for those who have
tasted the fruits of disintegration would
fain be spared additional horrors. Thus
far Mr.. Tilden has failed to please both
sections, which no one but political fool
or knave would have ever dreamed of &C
complishing, and to day finds himself as far
from the White House as either of his as
piring predecessors. When the average
American reflects upon the cost of
saving the nation-upon the millions of
treasure and hundreds of thousands OLIVES
expended in perpetuating its unity-they
will not, for moment, hesitate in bestoT-
ing their suffrage as between a political
trimmer and gallant soldier, who imperiled
life and spilled his blood in defense of his
country. The thing called Democracy
has made itself too odious by attemptin, to
detract from such splendid regulations as
that OF Gen. Grant to be able to muster
votes enough to elect their candidates.
They failed to accomplish their purpose in
series of successive elections, and the
same reasons which operated against them
then are potent now. Mr. Tilden has,
doubtless, been taught ere this that
honesty is the best policy" and in after
life he can look back to the time when the
people were spared sore affection by the
fact that the Democracy could find no more
available candidate than q common per-
jnrer. After the 7th Of November Mr..
Tilden will be remanded to deserved in
and the only political future
in store for him will be offered by some |
Southern community, whose cause he so
ably championed during the late war, and |
in whose behalf he spent so much money |
10 enter the White House.
Mr.. Tilden may be popular with the Ku-
Klux of the South, but that fact renders
him without following of any moment in
the North.
National Republican., 1876-09-11

Hon. JOSEPH SEGAR, of Hampton, has
received the Republican nomination for
Congress in the Second Norfolk district of
Virginia. John Goode would rather have
seen any other antagonist put into the field
against him than this old Whig and Re-
publican wsr horse. He knows that old
Virginia never had a more staunch and
steadfast friend than Col. Joseph Segar.
His public record during the past fifty
years has been one continuous battle
against the Democracy and in favor of the
material development of the State. Never
for one moment has he lost faith in her
future greatness. No man in the whole
State has such thorough and familiar
knowledge of her resources; no man is
more capable Of placing them in proper
light before Congress. The people of the
Second district will not only consult the
Interests of the State at large but of that
district particularly by the election of this
veteran to the Forty-fifth Congress in
preference to Mr.. Goode.
