British Reform Confusion of Partial.
From the Herald.
The words "Britinli reform" Lave Wen so
dinned Into our ears for the last twelve
months, that we are in danger, through fami
liarity, of. losing the deep signiflcauce with
'which they are weighted. The agitation has
been protracted and keen. It has proved the
death of on ministry; it will not surprise us
if it should prove the death of another. Nor
has any purely domestic question, within the
memory of the present generation of English
men so thoroughly aroused the feelings of all
rauks and classes of the people. The question
by many was supposed to be settled wnen, on
the occasion of the opening of Parliament, the
the occ
tarty
no in power, but historically op
posed
to representative retorm. announced
timir willirnruess to take it up and attempt its
solution in a truly liberal spirit.
This thought for a time was encouraged,
rather than otherwise, by the spirit in which
defeat was endured, and further concessions
made. If anything was wanting to confirm
the belief that the Tory party were to have
the honor of leading the British people to tho
full enjoyment of "popular privileges," that
was furnished by the easy manner in which
the Reform bill now before the House passed
its first and second readings. There were
others, however, who, better acquainted, per
haps, with the working of the British State
machine, knew well that there were breakers
ahead, and that the real di Acuity would be
felt when the bill should have gone into Com
mittee of the Whole House on the third read
ing. Experience has shown that the latter,
and not the former, were correct.
Since the bill has gone into committee it has
been somewhat difficult to know in what light
it was viewed by the great body of the people.
We did not know that iu a trial of strength, on
a point which might perhaps have been more
skilfully conceived and even more adroitly
put, Mr. Gladstone sustained defeat. We did
know that the liberal party did not rally round
their leader as they ought to have done, and
that for some cause or other their ranks were
demoralized. We did know that Disraeli, as
a skilful tactician, had far eclipsed his rival on
the liberal side; that having aroused himself
from that imperturbable passiveness in which
he delights to indulge, his wit had become
more sparkling, his satire more keen, and that
however unlovable in some respects, he had
become unquestionably the most popular man
in the House of Commons man of the people
and son of Israel as he is, the pet of the landed
gentry of England. But while Gladstone was
wincing under defeat, while Disraeli was ex
ulting in triumph, and while that magnificent
party whom l'almerston had so often led to
victory was apparently crumbling to pieces,
the people what of them ? What were they
doing r We could not tell. We know now.
Our recent cable and mail despatches show
that, in spite of what some journals say to the
contrary, the crisis is greater than ever. The
people, dissatisfied with the measure now
before the House, and dissatisfied particularly
with the conduct of representatives who have
betrayed their cause, have again taken the
matter in their own hands. Monster meetings
have again become the order of the day. A
great demonstration was made a few days ago
in Birmingham, John Bright thundering in
the evening, in the best of humor, but with
greater vehemence and fearlessness than ever.
On Monday the Reform League exhibited to
Parliament a sight which will not soon
be forgotten, and manifested a strength
which may well be dreaded. Popular
demonstrations on a similar scale are to be
made all over the country. Meanwhile un
faithful members who voted with the Govern
ment to avoid a dissolution of Parliament and
the expense of a general election, dreading
dissolution after all, have commenced to write
penitent letters to their constituents, and aa
the last recorded division, in which the
liberals had a large majority, shows, have
already begun to conduct themselves in a
more worthy manner. It is extremely difficult
to say when or how this reform struggle is to
end; but this much it is safe to say, that out
of it the people will come victorious. They
may not bring with them what they wish, but
they will bring with them a firm conscious
ness of strength, and an abiding conviction
that that strength may not be despised by any
power or class in the land.
Xhe European Peace Conference Thi
meeting in Loudon.
From the Times.
The Governments of France, Prussia, Aus
tria, Russia, England, Italy, Belgium, and
Holland will be represented by their plenipo
tentiaries at the Peace Conference. A
more important body, or one with more
momentous work before it, never as
sembled The events of the last few
weeks have not only threatened to bring
Prance and Prussia into collision, but have
given ground for fear that the outbreak of war
would result in involving all the principal
powers of Europe in hostilities. To avert
such a frightful calamity to the human race
to prevent the colossal sacrifice of life and
treasure that it would necessitate the Confe
rence will needs be animated, not onlv bv a
conciliatory spirit, but by a strong determina
tion. The question of Luxembourg was sprung so
Suddenly on the world as to have an uncom
monly dangerous look. Whether this was
purely accidental we Bhall not know until we
lave the diplomatic record of the case. The
announcement, made for the first time only a
month ago, that the King f Holland was
carrying on negotiations with the Emperor
Hapoleon for the sale of the Duchy, was bo
auicklv followed by the news of the hostile
attitude and trreat military preparations of
Prussia and France, that it seemed as if only
gome pretext had been wanted for the opening
of a war, which had its real basis in a far
larger necessity than the matter, ostensibly in
dispute. The best informed writers of Europe
declare it absurd to doubt that both Govern
ments have loreseen the possible contingency
of a rupture for the last twelve months, and a
leading Lonaon journal remarks that "from
the day Prussia established her military
superiority to Austria, it became a fixed idea
in tiie minus m neuiumen as wen as uer
mans, that she would next have to contend
-with France for the championship of Europe.'
If we accept entirely this view of the case,
which appears very imposing and profouud,
we shall be compelled to give up any very
lively hopes from the Conference. But though
we need not doubt that it is correct on very
considerations, ana witu a oumoieui
lasis of ttine for its
development in other
wt, nnrh we may believe a
believe a contest for
supremacy between Prussia and France to be
just as certain as a contest between Russia
THE DAILY EVENING TELECTA PIT HIIL
and France, or as any other of the half-dozen
contests which the course of time is sure to
bring about in Europe, we do not see that it
iuniihhes any ground for believing that the
crisis has now been reached, or tint it will
be reached this summer, or that it may not be
postponed indefinitely, as is the case with
other international contests which the world
agrees in considering inevitable.
The promptitude with which all parties,
whether immediately concerned in the quarrel
or not, agreed to the proposition of a Confer
ence looking to the peaceful settlement of the
matter in dispute, furnishes very good reason
for the belief that the ostensible cause of war
may be so dealt with as to avoid that terrible
contingency for the present. So far as we can
judge by the cable despatches, Prussia has
shown herself quite as ready as Frauoe to
accept, not only the Conference, but even the
more important points which have been put
forward as the basis of settlement. On the
same day (Friday last) in which it was offi
cially announced by the French Minister iu
the Corps Legislatif that a basis of negotia
tions had leen agreed upon which secured the
peace of Europe, M. Bismark officially an
nounced in the Prussian Diet that his Govern
ment had accepted the most important propo
sition on the Prussian side to wit, that for
the neutralization of Luxembourg. If these
preliminary statements from the highest
authorities are justified at the opening of the
Conference, its work, though momentous and
grave beyond expression, will be compara
tively simple, and we shall look for it to
secure the indefinite postponement of that
which all parties may agree to be ultimately
inevitable.
England, at whose instance the Conference
was called, is unquestionably averse to the
outbreak at this time of such a war as lowered
over Europe a fortnight ago. She sees that
she is quite su-re, not only to be dragged into
difficulty before the affair and all its complica
tions are over, but to be dragged in under the
most unfavorable circumstances. There is
that ominous "Eastern Question" which only
waits for such au opportunity as that of the
threatened Franco-Prussian war, and which
England cannot permit to be raised at a time
when she would have to deal with it single
handed. This and other troublesome ques
tions she is anxious to remit to the future.
And not these considerations alone, but innu
merable others of various character, will impel
English statesman to do their best for the
maintenance of the peace of Europe.
We believe that the voice of England
will be very potential in the Confer
ence which she has originated. She will
be ready, too, to back her suasions with hints
of her purpose to act in combination against
any power whose course may evince a deter
mination to disturb the peace. It is evident
that the feeling in England is that Bismark
has been carrying matters with altogether too
high a hand; and we have no doubt that, if
necessary, she will warn Prussia that the spirit
ol ambition must be curbed for the time being.
That such an attitude on the part of England
in the Conference would 'carry great weight
with it, in the present state of Europe, is cer
tain. In another point of view, England will
be by no means averse, by such a course, to
retrieve part of her ancient influence in Euro
pean affairs, which she had lost of late years.
The Torie3 have always boasted of a strong
foreign policy, and they have now a splendid
opportunity of justifying their traditional
reputation, and upholding England's claim to
be the "arbitrator of Europe."
Under all these circumstances we shall look
with something like confidence for a favorable
and peaceful issue to the London Conference.
Walrussla,
From the Tribune. '
An official map of Northwestern America,
"compiled for the Department of State at the
United States Coast Survey Office, 1867,"
gives our seven million purchase from Russia
a more attractive aspect. It there seems to be
the American counterpart of non-Russian
Europe north of the Baltic that is, of Den
mark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and the
Ferroe Isles. Its chain of islets (Aleutian)
seem an uninterrupted continuation of the
large peninsula of Aliaska, and stretch nearly
across the North Pacific in an easterly direction
for about 1200 miles. Several other consider
able isles are included in the purchase, besides
several bold peninsulas and deep bays the
latter said to teem with edible fish. The prin
cipal river (Knitchpeck) heads in British
America, through its chief affluents, the Yukon
and Porcupine, and has a length of
over 1000 miles, pursuing a generally south
west direction, and debouching by several
mouths in lat. 01 deg. to 63 deg., below Nor
on Sound, instead of running northwest to
the Arctic Ocean, as it is generally made to do
on the maps. We are assured that the whole
course of this river and its affluents, as well
as of the less considerable rivers farther south,
lies through an immense forest of the choicest
pine. There are several large rivers north of
the Knitchpeck, but the region is so cold that
they can be of little value. The average tem
perature is said to be ten to twelve degrees
warmer than on this side of the continent.
Valuable mines are vaguely reported, but lit
tle is known of them. Generally, the region
is rugged as well as cold, and there seems
little probability that much of its soil will
ever be cultivated. The fact that the Russians
sojourning on this coast were long ago accus
tomed to grow their grain in California, 1000
miles away, is significant. In fish and fur-
bearing animals, the country is hardly sur
passed. The following article, translated trom
the Cologne (lazefte, probably gives as intelli
gent and dispassionate an account ol the terri
tory as can now be presented:
T1IK CKSSION OF KUSSIAN AMERICA.
If the cession of the whole of Russian
America to the United States Is ratified, It will
be a very Important event: not because the
acquisition or a large tract of land by the
United 8 tittes promises an Increase of power,
for territorial extension is not desirable, and
Kusnlan America Is no paradise; ytt It muy

the northwest coast of the continent will ba of
greai significance. The territory Is 17,600 (Ger
man) square miles In area, lyiun on the norlh
westslope of the Hooky Mountains: has inuny
tmow-peaks and volcanoes, and is densely
wooded in the valleys, and on the rivers and
inlets of the eonst range. The coast has many
harbors, shut in by the Prince of Wales' and
George the Third's Archipelagoes. I'ne Kos

straits, which were exploded by BeurlnK
eighty years afterwards, and received his
name. 1 he volcanoes are trenermiw vrv hii?h.
and streams are abundant, though unem
ployed. J he climate is very diversified, and
much milder tbau between the same parallels
on the eastern coast of America or Eustern
Asia. The coast, as far as the peninsula of
Aliaska. has mild winters and cool Hummers,
with abundant rains, very favorable to veaeta-
tion; but fruit trees ao not prosper. There are
scarcely 700 Russians amonx the 70,000 Inhabi
tants, Just one to a hundred; 15,008 are half
breeds or KusslaDB and Indians. Only 15 000
Indiana are civilized, and the rest are soattered
over the vast region. Ksqulmaux in habit the
eastern half of Aliaska, and there are about 2M)

Steamships find telegraph lines will unite
those distant regions to the civilized world and
give them new Hie; and land that were once
celled desert wastes will become mins of un
told wealth to a pei severing and industrious
race of people, But the greatest good of this
treaty inr more Important than the acquisi
tion of territory Is the wlnutnu of a cordial
good understanding between the two enllght
ehed nations of the northern hemisphere
These friendly relations between Petersburg
and Wnshtngton take place at the very time
when Mapoleoii III, hoping for a dissolution of
the American Union, Is speculating upon the
establishment of a throne In the Western
World. The French, therefore, have hated to
see this friendly feeling Increase, and they sav
In contempt: "liusHla is to be wellcompeusuted
for this loss!" What compensation can the
United Slates afford? They have no pomes
sious In the Old World; but they have abundant
mentis, quite enough to make an offensive aud
deleDsie alliance; andsuch trifles, ol immense
Importance lo the Czar. .Now that HuhhI i is
casting a longing look on Western Asia her
sovereign Is conscious of the Importance or a
friendly union wltu a mighty naval power on
the Western Continent.
Kor these reacons the negotiations in Wash
ington are watched with great anxiety by
ranee and England.
As Piussla has a goodjunderstandlog with
the United Stales, as well as ltussla has, this
entente ' cordiale between WesliuiKton and
Petersburg, In case or war in Kurope, may be
more beneficial than detrimental to the cause
of Germany.
Brokerage on Dealing with Goveru
UlCUt.
From the Timet.
If the decision of the Court of Common
Pleas in the case of Southard vs. Boyd shall
be sustained and become settled law, its effects
upon the business of brokerage and upon the
dealings of Government will be very impor
tant. The case was brought by shipbrokers
to recover commissions upon a charter of a
ship which they had effected for her owner to
the Government, and the Court held that an
agreement to compensate a broker for such
services was illegal, and could notjbe enforced
by the broker.
The Court placed its decision upon the
authority of a case decided by the Supreme
Court ol the United States the case of Norris
vs. The Providence Tool Company. In that
case it appeared that Norris, who was a sort
of an adventurer, had procured for the Tool
Company a contract from the War Department
to lurnish 25,000 muskets, having agreed
with the Company previously that if he got it
for them, they would pay him for his services
proportionately to the extent of the contract.
Norris sued the Company for his pay, and
recovered a judgment against them for $13,500.
On appeal to the Supreme Court this judg
ment was reversed, the Court holding that "an
agreement lor compensation to procure a con
tract freni the Government to furnish its sup
plies cannot be enforced by the Courts,"
because it is contrary to publio policy. The
Court refers as analogous cases to agreement
to procure appointments to publio ollices, and
agreements to procure favors from legislative
bodies, which have been also held void aa
contrary to publio policy.
It seems to us that this brokerage case goes
a little further than even the Norris case, and
that the question of public policy is not quite
so clear in reference to it. The business of
brokers is as well known, as universal, and as
legitimate as any other one. It has been
found to be beneficial to commerce, and ad
vantageous both to purchaser and to seller.
If it were not, it would not have become so
firmly established in the commercial relations
of the world. It is clearly in accordance with
public policy that the Government should be
excluded from all the advantages of dealing
with brokers, aud compelled in all cases to
deal directly with its customers. Ii is plain
that such must be the result of the establish
ment of the rule of law that was laid down by
the Court of Common JPleas. It a broker
cannot' recover his commissions on dealing
with the Government, as he can on dealings
with other parties, he will not deal with the
Government. The result of such a rule might
not be so favorable to the publio interest as
the Court seems to suppose. Take the case
of ships, for instance. If the Government
wished to barter ships in this port, none
would be offered to it except by shipowners
who were on the spot to do the business them
selves, while otherwise the competition of
ships whose owners resided anywhere in the
country could be brought in. The same
result might follow in all the business dealings
of the Government.
It seems to us questionable whether other
rules and principles should be held to govern
the business dealings between the Government
and its citizens, than those which prevail in
the business dealings of the community
among themselves. It may be, however, found
that the opposite rule will have no ill effects,
and that the services of brokers can be well
dispensed with in government matters. Pos
sibly it will be found to work so well as to
spread into other branches of business, aud to
result in teaching the community that they
would all do better to do the business them
selves, and that the money paid to brokers
might just as well as not be saved. But if
not if brokers are to be employed in ordi
nary transactions there may well be a differ
ence between xuch ordinary transactions and
the procuring of contracts from heads of de
partments by persons not regularly aud pub
licly employee! in such business.

CHINGARORA
ANTI-NERVOUS
SMOKING TOBACCO!
The CHINGARORA TOBACCO grows from the rich
soil ot the "ORIENT," aud is possessed of a pecu
liarly delicious flavor, entirely unknown to the
ti.tmncos of all other climes. But its unprecedented
popularity has sprung from the fact of the entire ab
Beuceof that deadly poisou, Atcolin. which peruieitlea
every other tobacco, and which Is the oue and sole
cause of the distressing nervous diseases, dyspepsia,
etc., which most Invariably, sooner or later, follow
the Indulgence of the pipe and cigar. At the recent
analyzaiion of toliucco from all parts of the world, at
the Academy of Sciences, in Paris, the renowned
Chemist, M. Lumoureaux, declared that while Euro
pean and American tobacco contained fully eight per
cent., and the purest Havana tobacco from two to n
t.er cent, of A'ievtin, the CH 1NOARORA did not con
tuln one discoverable particle of that deadly poison, a
orop of which, extracted, will destroy life.
Our Agent at BOMBAY lias shipped us large quan

tuedeuiund for IM ii ' .hub luxury to the veteran

A connoisseur has but to smoke the American to
bacco and cigars, which are Invariably chemically
flavored, to be disgusted with the medicinal taste,
which leaves a nauseous, unhealthy coating In the

The natives of the "ORIENT" smoke the CHIN

and are happily unconscious of the wild, distressing
