than these were ever uttered in the presence
+ Of honorable men. 1t is tho doctrine of re-
pudiation, Of breach Of faith, of snea1ing
| knaycry. 1t takes ono Government to make
q law, but IL takes two to make treaty
On what principle Of morals does Mr.. WILLIS
base his assertion that one party TO q con-
tract has always the right to dissolve it /?
And on what constitutional principle does
he claim for the House of Representatives
the power to vote into nothing treaty
which only the Senate can confirm
Some Of the advocates Of this measure
| claim that the BURLINGAME treaty is not
violated. The treaty pledged this Govern
ment that Chinese subjects visiting or re-
siding in the United States shall enjoy the
same privileges immunitics, and exemptions
in regard to travel or residence rs may there
be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects OF the
most favored nation" The bill they say.
does not abridgc the privileges or immuni-
| ties Of Chinese who travel or reside here.
1t merely regulates navigation and pro-
| vides how many Chinese passengers may
come in one ship. In other words, it says
that the Chinese already here shall be
treated as we'll as Irishmcn or Germans :
but only limited number shall come here
after. This is pitiful bubble. The very
bill itself, dealing with the deck Of an Amer
lean ship at Hong Kong or elsewhere, as
sumcs that that deck is part OF United States
territory. If sixteen Cinnamon come ON
board the ship with their dollars in hand
demanding passage to san Francisco, the
Captain is directed TO eject one of them
/ from United States territory. How does
the treatment of the sixteenth Chinaman
accord with the treatment enjoyed by u
citizen or subject of the most favored ma
tion p But to putthe intention of the treaty
beyond a doubt, 1t ia only necessary to refer
To the text OF its Fifth Article, seldom quo
ted in discussions Of the question. The Fifth
Article begins rs follows:
The United states o. America and the Emperor OF
China cordially recognize the inherent and nalcnahle
right Of change his home and allegiance and also
the mutual advantage IT the free migration andemgra-
ton Of their ctycus ami subjects respectively. from
country n the other for purposes OF curiosity Of trade
| or a. permanent residents"
What a load IL Is that the Democratic
party has taken upon its shouldersl Or,
rather, what n load 1t is that the foolish
leaders Of the Democratic majority in the
House OF Representatives have thrust upon
the shoulders of their party!

no insignificant role, Pope LEO is careful to

melia on tho evacuation Of that province by the
Russian army. The Porte resolutoly objects to
this, on the ground that Russia is by the treaty
Of Berlin bound to 60 but that the treaty says
nothing about other European armies taking
its place. On the other hand. Russia has
brought about such a state Of anarchy in tho
province. that she cnn say with some show OF
reason that she is only acting in tho interests OF
humanity in hesitating until some arrange
ment is made, and that she is ready to hand
over the population to the protection OF the
powers OF Europe. but not to the tender mer-
cies Of the Turks; while Europe will be nssum-
ing n grave responsibility II Russia is forced to
retire. and abandon the Christian population to
be massacred. The treaty powers cannot deny
that massacre would very probably be tho re-
suit Of total surrender OF the province. and
nre somewhat embarrassed. Should mixed oc-
cupation ultimately be consented to by the
Porte. tho French would OF necessity furnish
an important military contingent. and when
once a French army Is in joint occupation
Of portion OF European Turkey, compiled
tions may arise involving important political
consequences to the nation.
The American public will be glad TO learn that
a new French cable company hes ut last been
actually constituted, and that the old Anglo
American Ring. who. rs you may remember.
succeeded nearly two years ago In capturing
the Direct Cable Company. will have n now bat
tie to fight against very powerful rival organ
ization. The capital OF the now company.
which amounts to two million and eighty thou
sand pounds sterling. has been guaranteed by
three OF the strongest corporations in France.
The prospectus has been issued. inviting pub
lie subscriptions. but It matters not whether the
public supply the capital or not. MS II has been
firmly guaranteed by tho syndicate. In order
to guard against a repetition Of the mlsfortunes
in the early History Of the direct cable. which
was broken four times within n fow months.
the French company propose laying two cables.
which have been contracted for. one to Cape
Cod and ono to Nova Scotia. both via St Pierre.
There is a lively nutter among cable specula-
tors in London. and there can be no doubt that
the new organization is serious menace to
the monopolists. and may lead to a disastrous
depreciation OF their property. The capital Of
the monopolist companies amounts to about
nine millions sterling. upon which sum divi-
dend has to be paid; while thoir rivals, with
two cables. will only have n capital Of lttlo
over two millions. There Ia no reason why the
new company should not divide the trafllc Of
the Atlantic with the monopolsts. and 1t is evil
dent that they will be in a position to maintain
a low tariff In the event OF a fierce competition.

There was n scene yesterday before the
Congressional Committee investigating the
charges neninstJoHS I. DAVENPORT. when dis
charged sol Tier vainly tried TO recover his GER
tilcato OF naturalization. He obtained this GER
t.flcaic in 1865. upon producing evidence that
he Ind honoraoy served four. years In the
army. At the time Of the last election and on
the day he had done the duty ot registration a
United States marshal entered his house. and,
without warrant or authority Of any kind took
his naturalization certificate out II it, frame
and carried II on. The owner tried to ct 1t
back. but in vain. and he lost his vote. When
the certificate WAS produced yesterday. he
eagerly seized it, but the Committee made him
surrender it. MS no had not recovered his prop
erty in a decorous way. II is true that the Com
mittee had ns'eriaincd that the certificate had
been taken from the discharged soldier in an
Illegal rs well as an indetorous way; but this
fact was not taken rs a justification Of his con-
duct in Selling ii yesterday.

The Best Way to Levy Duties.

Duties on imports are things of inevitable
necessity. So long as our national debt is
as big as it is, we must tax merchandise
imported from abroad, and tax it heavily.
An average of about forty per cent. on all
imports is the least that the Treasury can
do with.
The Chamber Of Commerce Is now nQur-
ing what is the best way TO levy these duties,
and especially whether the valuation Of the
articles on which they are assessed should
be made in this country or in the foreign
country from which they are brought 10 Us.
As a general rule the most convenient
kind of import duties are those which are
called specific, that is 20 say, duties which
are not varied by variations in the mar
ket value Of the article taxed. If, for in
stance, u duty OF 81 or 81 n gallon is im-
posed upon all brandy imported all question
rs TO its value either in Europe or in the
United States disappears. The duty is
easily collected and there is no chance for
fraud. On the other hand, if there be one
ratio OF duty on brandy worth 50 a gallon,
and higher rate on that which is worth s.,
the door is opened to frauds and controyer-
sizes without end.
Legislators should bear in mind that
specific duties are more easy to collect and
more honestly paid than al rdiorem duties.
