Progress in Japan.

The Manchester Guardian says: "Fo,
about sixteen years-that is to say, from
the restoration Of the Mikado to his ancient
power in 1868 and the firm establishment
OF centralized government-Japan has
steadily followed the path of reform and
progress pointed out by the West. The
ic,,dal system has now wholly disappeared.
They have gradually assimilated the laws,
methods Of administration and political
ideas which govern in Europe. They have
created not only an army and navy
these, indeed, they do not by any means re-.
gard as the chief OF their advances-but a
trained Judiciary, a fiscal system and police
and prison organization, which place them
on level with the most enlightened ma
tons Of the globe. Nor has progress OF
other kinds been wanting. Telegraphs
now connect every town of note in the
empire; railways are being made as quick
" as circumstances permit; the Japanese
postal system will bear comparison with
that of any European country, and native
steamship companies do most of the carry.

SALT LAKE., August 25.-Memorial SER
vices in respect TO the memory OF the Nor
mon elders assassinatcd In Tennessee were
held yesterday IN all the large and many of
the small towns in Utah. a congregation
OF about 1000 attended the service at the
Tabernacle In this city. The remarks OF
speakers, which echoed the sentiment OF
tie congregation, were coucliatory and
consoling, rejecting in no way on the peo-
pie OF Tennessee generally. but attribnting
the murders TO the result OF bigoted preju-
dice on the part OF ignorant and misin-
formed individuals. The prevailing senti-
ment among leading MormOns and the
Mormon people generally Is that such acts
are the outgrowth Of the flood OF misrepre-
sentstion and falsehood chiefly emanating
from this city and continually kept before
the country at large by their enemies.

Restricting AustrIa's Mobility.

Vienna Dispatch TO she London stan lard.
No number OF the Vienna Gazette that
has appeared for many years past has been
studied with such ayidity rs that which
was published today. The cause OF this
unusual curiosity is an autograph letter
from the Emperor TO Count KalnOky, a.
Minister Of the Ilsperal House, en-
bodying important alterations in the
statutes OF the three noble Austrian
Orders Of ST. Stephen, Leopold, aud
the Iron Crown. Hitherto the be-
stowal OF any ono OF these orders conferred
on the recipient the rank and title OF
an hereditary nObleman. Each knight OF
the First Glass OF st. stephen was Priyy
Councillor OF the empire, and was addressed
by the Emperor rs "Our Cousin" The
second class OF the same order conferred the
rank and title Of a Baron, while the third
class gave the hereditary title OF knight,
Bitter, or Cheyalier. Again, in the Leo
pold Order. the Grand Cross created the
recipient Privy Councillor. the Com
mander's Cross conferred BaronY. and
the knights Cross all hereditary Knight
hood. In the Order Of the Iron Crown pre-
csely similar hOnOrs were conferred by the
first, second, and third class decorations
respectively. By the new imperial
rescript 2 complete change is made in re-
gard TO these orders. Ifenceiorth they<
Will carry no hereditary rank. The only
order with which hereafter the statutory
right to an hereditary title will be connect
ed is the military order Of Maria Theresa.
The state OF things hitherto existing has
been felt by the old ariStocracy OF Austria
rs a public scandal. Every year dozens OF
iarons and hundreds Of hereditary knights
used 10 be created by the too indiscrimi-
nate best0Wal Of the orders above men,
TONED. and hence it is that most OF the
inancers OF the Continent and many other
foreigners have continued 20 get them
selves created Austrian barOns. The lavish
and inconSideratc way in which such hon
ors were formerly showered upon appli-
cants contributed greatly TO lower the value
and dignity Of Austrian titles; but OF late
wears. much to the Joy Of the older ari'-
t0cI-icy, these distinctions have been dis
triIuied with more sparing hand. The
complete stoppage which the imperial de-
cree has now put to the old system is hailed
with delight by alI those already enjoying
the privileges OF nobility, while among
those who had not yet succeeded in obtain.
ing the lon..cOyeted distinction the disap-
pointmcnt and chagrin are correspondinsly
keen.

NOTING IN GEORGIA.
Ere Troops Called Out 90 Qreli a Negro
Uprising.

A Savannah special OF Sunday says:

tense excitement, OWING TO reported negro
uprising ut Dawson, Terrell county. At O
O'Clock tonight dispatch was received by
The military authorities at Albany saying
that serious rioting was imminent, and
asking that troops be dispatched to the
scene without delay. Governor Mcdaniel
was az once wired for Instructions. The
Albany Guards and the Jackson Light
Artillery, Of the same city. were summoned
10 arms, and held In readiness TO start Mt

desire on the part OF the blacks TO prevent

not promised to call a special session OF the
court az once, and give Clarke speedy
trial and execution. No time was lost, and
conviction and sentence OF death followed
as matter OF course, tomorrow being set
as the Uay Tor the execution. When Clarke
was captured the negroes threatened to

grown more and more excited. until the
climax was reached in the demonstrations
