Tbe House of Represtjiitatives gave a true expression of tho uiianiuiouu feeliuga of the eoile of the United States wheu, on the 17th l( December, 18(J0, it resolved to recommend to the Executive Department of the Govern ment "that the friendly offices of this Govern ment, if practicable, be offered for the promo tion of peace and harmony in South America." If governments and peoples have, unfortu nately, not yet learned to avoid war altogether, It yet is a cheering sign of the steady progress Of civilization that men everywhere come to regard it as a sacred duty to look to peace Conferences rather than to arbitrament of the tlword for the settlement ol grave oomplica- tl0We readily admit that the result ef the Peace Conferences which during the last ten years have been held in Europe and America, f, not entirely satisfactory to those who deem it both possible and deniable to bol. ah Jill vars. The Peace Conference he d in W ash Wton before the outbreak of the Rebellion u a failure; bo was the London Conference, vhich attempted a peaceful solution of the Fohleswig-Jlolstein question, and the Lonrer enoe.which was to avert last year the German Italian war did not take place at all. lint granting all this, we rejoice at the Jact that, tre any of the great wars just referred to was Legun, the idea of a 1'eace Congress was con ceived, and an earnest effort made to prevent the atrocities and the barbarities of war. It Was, therefore, eminently proper that the re presentatives of the American people, in Con rresa assembled, should recommend, and the Executive should accordingly undertake, the raolilo termination of the wars which for some time have been raging on both the Pacific and the Atlantio coasts of tfouth America. Of the manner in which the United States Government has acquitted itself of its impor tant task,we have now ample information. It appears that our Ministers at the several South American capitals were instructed to propose that a conference be held in the City of Washington, consisting of Plenipotentiaries Of the belligerent powers, to be presided over ly some person designated by the President of the United States, and that in case of the disagreement of the Plenipotentiaries, the President designate some State or sovereign, not the United States, nor one of the bellige rents, to be an umpire to decide all questions tvhich shall be referred to him by the Con ference, and the decision of that umpire shall le binding upon all the parties. In comparing the terms of thia mediation With those of the recent London Conference, it Is evident that the proposition made by our Government demanded from belligerent powers greater concessions than at the recent London Conference were demanded from either France cr Prussia. At the London Conference both Prussia and Fiance were left free to reject any advice that would be tendered, and to make their final appeal to the decision of arms. The fjouth American States, on the other hand, vere asked by our Government to bind them Belves to abide by the decision of an umpire designated by the United States. While Prussia and France could have no reason what ever to dislike participation in the Conference, the South American States would naturally feel doubtful whether it was safe to trust an umpire who might not understand the subject in all its bearings, or have preconceived notions favoring one of the belligerents. Mr. Seward's plan has not met with a favor able reception in the South American repub lics. The Argentine Republic and Brazil have declined taking part in the Conference, and Peru and her allies will soon follow their ex ample. We shall not stop to examine whether the failure is to be more attributed to the na ture of the plan proposed, or to the obstinate disposition shown by the several Govern ments. At all events, this pacilio settlement of warlike complications is, in every question and at any time, an undertaking so praise worthy thut we cannot but hope that our Government, our Congress, and our people Will not cease to give to the subject the most earnest attention. If anything can be done towards diminishing the number of wars in Amerioan countries, it is in particular the United States which can do it. !Xh Debate in the British Parliament on Female Suffrage. From the Times. It is certainly a notable circumstance that seventy-three members of the British Parliament have just cast their votes in favor of female suffrage. The proposition did not look to admitting all English females to the privilege of voting any more than the Representation bill, of Which it was an amendment, looked to ad mitting all males to the privilege of voting. The motion was to substitute the word person for the word "man" in the bill, and its practi cal application was only to secure the enfran chisement of spinsters and widows, not ol married women. Its adoption may, perhaps, be taken as logically necessitating the en franchisement of all women, married as well aa single, just as the adoption of Disraeli's measure tor enlarging the number of voters may be logically regarded aa ultimately resulting in universal ttuuragu tor men. But, fortunately for the stability of the Rri tish Constitution, the British Parliament ordi narily acta upon the idea that the art of gov eminent ia quite an illogical aflair, or, at all events, that it should not be based upon the rules of chop-logic which am peddled out Wholesale and retail by the dealers in that article. Hence the greatest of all modern logicians, John Stuart Mill, stopped short with the proposition to confer the franchise upon Spinsters and widows, leaving married women among tne non-voting classes, and moreover, disfranchising maida and widows whenever they may have the fortune to fall into wed lock. Still, the principle of female suffrage la embraced in Mr. Mill'a acheme, and it is not to le wondered at that the introduction of such a revolutionary idea into the British Parliament lias caused a great deal of discussion in the JSngllBn press ana in society. JNot only were Beventy-three members found to support this principle and its appli cation, bmt, in the debate on the proposition, some of the ablest membera took sides in its favor. As the originator of the scheme. Mr Mill gave forth arguments at least worthy of ttntion. It was favored also by Mr. Den Mr TrWnt.t. and Sir G. Bowver. whit Its principal opponent was Mr. Karslake, who til unstained by Mr. Laing, Mr. Onslow, and T.nrd Gal WAV. Mr. Mill's arguments were not at all novel a ihnaH vira of the Dolitical views he has out forward in his published works. Neither, THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 18G7. bo far na they referred to gonernl principles, could they Iks at all striking to those in thU country who are familiar with our long-standing discUHsion on the ponderous question of "Womau'a rights." A number of liU points were of exclusive application to Great Britain to its laws and customs as respects the rela tions of women; and they have no bearing whatever upon this country, or upon the laws on the same subject which prevail, with varia tion i, in all the States of the Union. As re gards the regulation of the civil rights and property rights of women, we are far in ad vance of England, aud all Americans) will agree that the English laws need correction on these points. His argument on the main question of female suffrage was in support of a position which we may state thus: That the present condition of Englifh legislation, the practical working of English institutions, and the general experi ence of the English people, show that while women are excluded from all voice in publio affairs, these affairs will not be bo managed a3 to maintain the highest interests of womei in her relation to the State, to society, and to the welfare of the human race. Ilia illustrations i all bear upon thia position. We must confess I we cannot see the applicability of the greater 1 part of them, as reasons for establishing female j suffrage. It is certain that the most of the . measures he advocates can be effected without ' permitting women to take any part in politics or elect ions. We know that hero, tor ex- i ample, the education of one sex la aa well pro vided for by the State as the education of the other sex. We know that the rights of pro perty of women are quite as well protected aa those of men. We know that in the administration of jus tice, the crimes committed by males against females are, to say the least, quite as severely punished as those committed by fern lies against males; and if in England women may be "kicked or trodden to death" by men with impunity, we assure him that his sex enjoys no such privileges in America. In re gard, then, to the great matters of education, property, and the administration of justice, we have secured in this country all that can possibly be demanded for or by women, with out conferring on them the franchise. In so far, therefore, as his argument in favor of female suffrage ia based on these points, it is fallacious and inconclusive. And really, there is but little more to his argument. We are astonished at the narrowness and shallowness of the whole thing, when we consider the ability and intellectual power of its author. The speeches against Mr. Mill's amendment and in reply to his arguments were of such a meagre kind as to be quite unworthy of notice. It is evident that the question is one which members of Parliament have not considered as we have been compelled to consider it in this country. They probably do not regard it of any practical consequence in English politics, and therefore think that something in the way of chaff is all that is necessary in dealing with it. We judge that their view is not far from correct even though seventy-three members voted in favor of Mr. Mill's scheme. The morning after the debate, the London Times treated the question editorially. It spoke, as we have done, of the ineffective character of Mr. Mill's speech, but reasoned against it on grounds which woull be laughed at by the advocate8 of "women'a rights" in thia country. After doing so at length, it came to the broad conclusion that "ever since the world has existed the great mass of women have been of weaker mental powers than men, and with an instinctive tendency to submit themselves to the control of the stronger sex. Their destiny is marriage, their chief function is maternity, their sphere is domestio and social life. This is their condition now, and political rights may well be settled in accord ance with it." Expansion of the United States Mexican Trouble The St. Lawrence lllver. From the Herald. Continental expansion of the area of free dom, once scouted as the dream of visionaries, has become a practicable possibility. Parties once opposed inch by inch every movement for the extension of our territory, but who would venture such opposition now, in the changed conditions of social existence? All the argument in favor of cramping national growth supporting the pent-up Utica system of development wa3 drawn from the history of other ages. Asiatic empires and ancient Rome supplied the staple of comparison. Governments with greatly extended territories were "giants without bones;" their deficient vitality, the result of their size, involved their easy dismemberment in times of trouble. Doubtless all this was once true, and its truth depended upon the fact of imperfect communi cation between the parta of an empire. An Emperor ot tome might have been dead and his successor named for a year before this news had penetrated into the remoter States subject to Roman rule; but when the vote for President is cast over the whole area of the United States, the result is known at New York within a day. This would be the same if the area of the republic were twenty times greater than it is. The telegraph, that wonderful nervous system of nations, puts all the parta in close and constant relation, compacts the vast mass into unity of sensation and thought, and makes a great empire subject to the same laws of life that hitherto governed small ones. Railroads and steam boata are its adjuncts, and together these characteristic powers of the age have destroyed all argument against extended empire. Is it not, then, for the obvious advantage of the human race and the world's progress that the best example of government on a conti nent should be extended to all the peoples it contains? Here is Mexico, still in the butch ery and throat cutting of quarrels that hardly pretend to a purpose. Spaniard and Indian commingled, the worst, compound of history Is daily proving itself in Mexico and some other places an impracticable mixture for development in civilised life, and exhibiting its tendencies to barbarism. Would it not be in all respects an advantage for the United btates to occupy at once this beautiful country that tends to become an uninha bited waste by the mutual murderings of its parties and people ? Should we not ex tend in that direction the benefits of the order, civilization, and energy that have made us the most prosperous people on the earth, and thus open new and splendid channela for the vast European emigration that still pours in upon us, and forces the extension of our fron tiers whether we will or no? What advantage was it to the world or humanity that we frowned away a European attempt to establish order, if we are not ready to supply an adequate sub stitute ? On our northern border we are con fronted by an attempt to build up one more government on a system that even in Europe only lives by the inability of the people to take mutual action against it. It will fall by its own weight soon enough, and its people will fall into our arms; but in the meantime we must not permit it to become a nuisance by the agitation of such a small point of hostility SB lies in the question of the navigation of the St. Lawrence river. The way to prevent thia is by buying or taking, on the large law of national necessity, all theconntry between the Maine boundary and the ocean that lies to the south of tho St. Lawrence river. Every inch of tho continent gravitates towards the Stars and Stripes; but our convenience, on ono hand, and common humanity on the other, require that in the cases of Mexico and tho St. Lawrence country we nhould take action to hasten the operation of the natural law. Consrrrsrntlon of Sovereigns In Kirope AV I at U to Come Out of Itl From the Herald. In 1815 Paris presented a sight such as has been rarely soon in the history of the world. A great battle had been fought a battle in which an empire and a dynasty were staked, and France was unsuccessful. The empire perished, the dynasty was exiled, and Paris, the pride of France, was ocoupied by well-nigh a million of strangers. The allied armies, headed by their respective generals, and also by their respective sovereigns, hold possession of the French capital, and diotated, not un justly, but somewhat severely, the terms on w Inch alone peaoe was to be secured. It was a sorrowful day for France, for Paris, for the family of Napoleon, and for many other fami lies besides a day strangely mixed with iov and sorrow, with relief and depression of spirits, ana wnicu win not and cannot be soon forgotten. Filty-two years have since elapsed, and now, in 1867, Paris witnesses and endures another "occupation." The reoresontativos of the allied sovereigns are there, and other sovereigns irom the fcast and lrom the South, as well as from the West and from the North, not then represented. This time, however, the ciicumstances aie altogether chonued. The dynasty they then restored is agaiu in exile, and the dynasty they dethroned and exiled is again in power. The Parisians, then ciotnea wan sacKciotn and sitting in dust and ashes, are now full of life and spirit, and clothed with their holiday attire; and Paris, having adorned herself with new beauties. Buines wnn greater spienaor and attractive ness than ever. Then they came aa con querors and the sworn foes of Napoleon; now they come as friends, to be the guests of Napoleon's nephew. Such and so strange are the vicissitudes of fortune t Well, indeed. may the crowned heads reflect, as they gather around the Emperor's board, on the vanity of numan inings. This congregation of the princes and rulers of Europe is interesting for other reasons than for the contrast which it presents to a former period. It indicates that great success has been achieved. It does more it promises to be fruitful of great and lasting results. It will be fetrange if Napoleon is not now fully and formally admitted into the dynastic family of Europe. If he has been waiting for some such event, as we have reason to believe he has, we can discover no reason why his coronation should be longer deferred. Fuller recognition than ho is now receiving from his royal brothers and sisters is impossible. He may, therefore, with good grace, and without dread ing the insinuation that he has forced himself into unwilling company, put on the imperial crown. The hand of the Holy Father alone is requisite to complete the work. An imperial coronation, unless we greatly mistake, will give Franco a holiday ore many months roll past. Another result of this Congress of sove reigns is the all but certain settlement of the j affairs of the East. On this difficult and long vexed question the different Governments are evidently getting more and more into unison. Nothing more is necessary to secure a tempo rary arrangement. We have no hope that the settlement will be final. We are satisfied, however, that difficulties will be got over, that peace will be secured for the present, and the burial of the "sick man" not unduly hastened. Well-laid schemes are sometimes defeated, and notwithstanding the hopeful appearances of the present, we must still be allowed to doubt whether the various States of Europe, armed to the teeth and ready for conflict at a moment's notice, will so easily settle down into a condition of permanent repose. The Congress of Sovereigns. Frtmthe World. Half a century has rolled away since any capital of Europe witnessed such a congress of sovereigns aa is now assembling at Paris. Fifty years ago and more, the princes who had combined their foroes in a holy league for the overthrow of the first Napoleon, celebrated in London the triumph which had -been won at Waterloo. British ohildren then stared at the Czar, and British tradesmen bowed low before the majesties of Prussia and of Holland. The work of these august monarchs had, to all seeming, bees thoroughly and finally done. On the 2d of August, 1815, a solemn conven tion had been signed by their representatives in Paris, Wellington, Castlereagh, and Met ternlch, to the effect that "Napoleon Bonaparte being now in the power of the allied sove reigns, their Majesties of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, the Emperor of Austria, the Emneror of Russia, and the King of Prussia, have agreed, in virtue of the stipulations of the treaty of March 25, 1815, upon the mea sures most proper to render all enterprises impossible on his part against the peace of Europe." We know what these "measures" were; how the "King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland," the king, as Swift go bitterly and truly put it, of "Divided hearts, united States," consented to become the turnkey of Europe ; how the majesties of Austria, Prussia, and Russia sent "commissioners" to St. Helena to Bee that the royal turnkey did his duty; how the formidable eagle enmeshed and caged beat out his mighty life upon that lonely islaud rock of the African Atlantic. All these things the sovereigns assembled in London half a cen tury ago did most jubilantly exult over, and commend to the sympathy and the admiration of Christendom. It is a vastly more brilliant and imposing congress which is meeting now in Paris, aud under auspices how diff erent 1 Tho sovereigns of Russia and Prussia in person; the heir of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland;" the Kings of Portugal and of Bel gium, are convened to-day in the capital from which fifty years ago "Napoleon Bonaparte" was expelled by the arms of Europe, as the guests of an Emperor who wears tho name and wields the sceptre and sits upon the throne of the exile of St. Helena. The Paris which was then the prize is now the metropolis of Europe; ilie France which was then the terror of Christendom is now the host of all tho world at a festival of the peace ful arts. From Japan and from Turkey, tho Tycoon and the Sultan, monarchs with whom Europe fifty years ago had little more to do than with the Khans of Bok hara and Somarcand, come up now to this mar vellous gathering of the potentates of the earth. Never has the eword achieved such a brilliant and visible victory over the mutual distiustoi nations and tlie traditional reserve of princes, B the third Napoleon sees confessed all about his palace to-day in the name of in dustry and of commerce, of human progress and of the useful arts. Speoulation.of course. w ill be rife, on both aides of tho sea, as to the secret motives which may have led to this ex traordinary congregation of "principalities and of powers," and as to the probable results on the policy of Europe of this rare, this un precedented opportunity aflbrdpd to the rulera f mankind to take counsel together face to face. We need not yield to tho temptations of such speculation upon such matters. It is enough that in thia splendid homage rendered by Europe to tho primacy of modern and imperial France, we may easily recognize a signal tribute to the spirit of the age. In spite of all the wars which have shocked the world during the past twenty years, in spite of the rumors of wars which still shake and perturb the Old World, nothing can be more certain than that the already dominant and steadily rising power of this age Is the real interest of the real people of Christendom. "Publio opinion," said the present Emperor of the French on a memorable occasion, "publio opinion always gets the victory in the enl." Nothing can be more true; and the secret of the sure victory of publio opinion is the emancipation of private industry and of private enterprise. What is called the "de mocratic" change which has of late years been coming over tho social aspect of Europe, a change which marks itself particularly in the increased splendor and luxuriousnesa of the average style of living in the European capi tals, is simply a symbol of this progressive emancipation of industry and of enterprise. The things which half a century ago were the privileges of Dukes and Earls are now the habits of thousands of prosperous, though untitled men in every European country. As the one sovereign of Christendom who has steadily fostered and fought for this progres sive emancipation or industry and ot enter prise, the Emperor of the French fills his rightful place in the hierarchy of rulers, when he sees the 1'rinces of Europe coming to gether in his capital to admire and be instructed by the most stupendous exhibi tion of the results of industry and of enterprise which the world has ever seen. The monarch who has seen the industry and the wealth or t ranee tripled beneath his eyes during a reign of twenty years, and yet who has not feared to lay betore h ranee the accu muiated evidences oi a world-wide progress scarcely less remarkable than her own, may fairly claim to bo hailed as the Napoleon of 1'eace. It is impossible to divine the future p The most astute of mortals may make the most iatai mistaKes. ine consolidation ot great European nationalities may bring on, by a lamentable fatality, new and great European wars. But the present at least we can see and comprehend, aud the scenes which are passing now in Pari 4 are the most dazzling homage which has yel been paid to the genius and the lortune ot the heir ot mpoleon 1.
