1t is supposed that modern diplomacy,
keeping pace with the progress Of civilized
society and the onward march of science
and art, seeks ( - remove the restrictions ~
an arbitrary past, and to bring the nations
together into q family circle 81 closer and
more friendly intercourse. This has been
the aim Of most enlightened Governments,
and In the Old World great advances have
been made in the direction OF such ideas.
Even under the absolute system, chronic
abuses and traditionary practices inconsis-
tent with this progressive movement have
had to give way, and to accept changes that
could not be successfully resisted.
The United States stand out as Il marked
exception to the general advancement, and
may be said to have abandoned principle
and policy, under a Republican Admins
tration, which have always been most
cherished By the American people Tho
rapid growth and remarkable development
OF this country are greatly duo to the inn
migration which. in the last thirty years,
has so materially contributed to our wealth.
or the thrty-clght aud n half millions Of
population, under the census OF 1870, ten
millions nine hundred thousand were born
OF foreign parents and five millions and
half were born abroad. In other words
there were, in round numbers, sixteen and a
half millions Of foreign birth and extraction
at that time.
The great bulk OF this immigration was
furnished by ireland and Germany, and all

and bigoted class OF Know-Nothings, who

their own distinct organization, have strivcn
to cultivate and enlarge it by legislation
and by Inducements which no other nation
could offer. 1t was the proud boast OF the
American citizen until recently. whether ma
tive or natural.1cd, that wherever he might
go he carried with him the fullest protec-
ton Of his Government, which was respected
all over the world.
The case Of MARTIN KoszTA, in 1883,
Hungarian by birth who had enigrated to
the United States after the events of ls4s
and declared his intention to become a eth
zen, was forcibly arrested on his return to
Europe in the streets of Smyrna and held

the harbor at the time, demanded his re-
lease, with an intimation that if he was not
delivered up peacefully he would DO taken
out Of prison by force. KoszrA was re-
leased and delivered by agreement into the
custody of the French COnsul-General, to be
held by him until the United States and
Austria should decide the dispute
w. l.. MARCY was then Secretary OF State,
and in memorable despatch, which lifted
American citizenship to the highest plano
at home and abroad, he boldly maintained
the claim of KoszTA to effective protection
by the United States on account OF his
domicile and the declaration OF his inten-
ton to become n citizen. That was the

ing that the Indians have been moving all
this time In the midst Of n country studded
with forts which cost tho country about

The Cheyenne War.

Judging from the latest kilograms from
the West the United States seem to be in
volved in another Indian war. 1t may not
be very heavy one, considering the forces
engaged on the side Of the Indians; but II Is
serious because II proceeds from injustice
on our part and is wholly unnecessary.
Tho history Of the affair SO far is very
simple. A baud OF ninety Indian warriors,
accompanied by their women and children,
finding themselves threatened with starva-
ton ut the Fort Reno Agency, and seeing no
hope OF obtaining food, broke loose from the
agency and started off for the north II is
probable that these poor creatures had they
been blessed with common school educa-
ton, would have seen the folly Of their pro-
ceedlng Fort Reno is In the south Of tho
Indian Territory, near Texas, aud they will
have to traverse all Kansas and Nebraska
crossing the Pacific Railroad and the whole
OF the Departments Of the Platte, Missouri,
and Dakota before they reach any friends.
Nevertheless, in their wild. untutored way,
they have succeeded very well so far. They

THE TITz JOHN PORTER CASE.
Argument and Evidence on the Side of tho
Government.

The session of the court in tho case
OF exGen Fitz John Porter was held yester-
day Mt Governors Island. The Judge Adj
vocate opened the Governments side OF the case
with long and exhaustive address. He rc-
viewed the original trial. and WINS severe on
Porter. sayinRthat Portcr's defence had always
been series OF afterthoughts. and that he Ind
put out theory TO which he attempted TO fit the
facts. He maintained that Porter's new evil
dence had not thrown any new light on tho
question. and that there were discrepancies
and contradictions in his testimony. He claimed
that Porter alone was responsible for the action
Of the Fifth Corps. and that he would so prove
BY witnesses and 10y documentary evidence,
He also claimed that the witnesses he would
bring forward would give different view of
Portcrs conduct from that given through the
conviction by the court martial was proper and
the sentence merciful. Tho reading OF this ad
dress occupied tho greater part OF tho days
session. and was listened to with close attention.
Gen. T.. Is. Fowler Of Brooklyn was the only
witness examined. He was in command Of the
fourteenth New York Regiment OF Hatch 3
Brigade, Kings Division. in the campaign OF
1862. He gave an account Of the events of the
29th OF August. so far ia his observation eX-
tended. and declared that the fighting on that
day was severe. and that there was constant
and heavy firing. both OF infantry and artillery,
lasting all through the day. and expressed his
surprise that Porter's corps did not come tD the
assistance of Pope He was but slightly cross
examined
The court at o'clock. adjourned until 10
o'clock A. VI, tomorrow. when Capt. Pope will
take the stand. and other witnesses be called.

Extraordinary Action of the Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury have presented the Metro
politan Elevated Railroad az n nuisance
This is n severe blow at the long desired and
hardly yet established rapid transit.
II, however, the Grand Jury are not more
familiar with facts than they are with law,
their action will not stand for much. They
request the Court 10 lay their pro sentiment
before he Attorney Gnerui and before the
Legislature!
This Is the first time we eyer heard il pro-
posed to make the Court Of General Sessions

HACKETT. II report does not belle him, has
been doing some queer things lately, but we
hardly think he will lower the dignity OF
his Court SO much IA to comply with this
extraordinary rcqucs, OF the Grand Jury.
We think the Grand Jury might have
struck fair balance between the good and
the evil the road does. Even its great noise
is not without compensating benefits 1t
silences the screenings OF cats and Of hand
organs in the ncghpOrhoud, and keeps
people wide awake
Rapid transit must naturally be distaste-
full to q Grand Jury so much behind the
times AZ to request the Court to play second
fiddle to the Attorney -Gen cral. We wonder
the Recorder advocates, very properly,

1t is greatly to bc desired that the rare
inveHtiye genius Of America should now lie

What Is IL To BE Prcsidcutt

The mere occupancy of an oillce-although
It DO tho highest In the lnnd--is not neces-
sarily attended with honor.
Mr.. HAYES ls n striking illustration Of this
proposition The two principal parties in
this great State have just held State Con-
vcntions. Last year the Democrats COM
plimented Mr. HAYES. This year his name
was not mentioned In the resolutions Of
either Convention!
WEBSTER, CALHOUN and CLAY were United
States Senators. and they made the Office
of Senator illustrious. Small men thought
II they became senators they would be
equally distinguished, and bought their
elections The conspicuous position only
served to show on a large field their inca
pacity.
SO with the Presidency. WAsHIYdroS
first filled the Office. and associated with It
the lustro of his own impcrishable fame
Next to him stands JEFFERSON. whose name
is forever associated with the rights OF man.
Both the ADAMsEs and MADISON were mon
Of high character and uncommon ability
JACKSON was sturdy character, man OF
iron will and strict integrity. without GO
ing through the whole list, it Is sufficient to
come down to Mr.. HAYES 10 perceive that q
man may occupy the Office OF President Of
the United States and AT the same time DO
an object Of general aud supreme contempt.
