Oar Foothold in China.
Tbb London J imes appreciates fall the great
(Wantages which, have been secured bj the
United States as the result of the Barlingame
mission, and the Times, as usual, la merely
the mouthpiece of publio opinion in Great
Britain. A few days ago, it reviewed the
Chinese question in a monstrous long article,
filling nearly three of its broad-gauge columns
The oonolualon arrired at after all this laba
rious speoial pleading was simply this:
"China will not be the theatre of war between
foreign powers, unless as a result of the Ame
rican polio." But the very next sentenon of
the TimtM upsets this satisfactory asturanoe.
Whatever has been gained by England in China
In the past, has been extorted at the mouth
of the oannon and at the point of the bayonet.
The Chinese Government has baen taught by
Bad experience that the grand design of the
English in seeking a foothold on its soil has
been for the purpose of fostering and extend
ing the opium trade with the most ignorant and
disiilpated classes of the population. A China
man has an almost uncontrollable appetite for
this enervating drug, which the Government
has wisely sought to restrain by prohibiting
Its importation. Against this "exclusive
polio the English merchants have rebelled,
and the have been sustained from the first by
the full strength of the English Government.
And so China has treated with the
grasping power which seeks to oontrol
the trade of the world, has granted
concession after concession, has yielded
point after point but only, as all England
and the Times know, with the sound of British
cannon ringing in its ears, and the gleam 0
British bayonets dazzling its ees.
The treat grouLd is now transferred to the
antipodes, and at onoe all Eugland, for fear
the nefarious opium traffic may be interdicted,
has taken the alarm. Mr. Burlingame and his
associates, standing on British soil, will have
less fear of British powder and steel than their
pi edecessors in the cabinet at home. What
ever is conceded by them to Great Britain has
already been conceded to the United States,
and will, in turn, be granted to France, Rus
sia, and all the other considerable
powers of Europe. Justice will be
dons to foreigners, and justice will be done
to China. But this is not the English way or
doing things in the East. There is nothing of
the bandit about it, and therefore it is ex
tremely distasteful and almost humiliating.
So the Times, speaking, for the opium traders
of England, who in this case constitute the
BngliBh publio, declares that "China will not
be the theatre o war between foreign powers,
nnless as a result of the American polio,"
and then proceeds to spy that the people 0
China "want free intercourse, and it is the
duty of England to sustain the wish of
the people against their rulers." In other
words, as soon as the United States sejure?
an equal footing with Great Britain in China,
by fair and open negotiation with her accre
dited agents, it becomes the rare privilege o'
the English nation 'to restore its lost advan
tages by inciting and sustaining insurrection
And then, if any of the treat powers inter
fere to assist the Chinese Government in sup
pressing the rebellion, and in this way came
in conflict with British troops on Chinese soil,
the state of "war between foreign power i"
whioh will ensue will be the "result of the
American policy 1" This is British
logio with a vengeance. But the
old policy of exclusion which has
closed the door to all progression in China
during a thousand ears, has been at last
abandoned, and the Celestial Empire has re
solved to assert her privilege to a position in
the sisterhood of nations. This wa3 her only
course to escape the rapaoity of England, and
one of its first fruits will be the plaoiog of
English diplomacy in China on the basis which
is recognized throughout the civilized world.
England will lose muoh by the change, but the
gain of China will be great, aud that of the
United States not Inconsiderable.
Attempts at fraudulent voting should be
carefully watched, and whenever deteoted be
yond a doubt, the perpetrator Bhould be
brought to condign punishment. The New
York Tribune says that the ballot-box stuffers
re already at work in that city, seven hun.
dred illegal naturalization papers having been
issued under the sanction of the County Judge
and County Clerk. The only question put to
the hundreds who are daily marched up for
naturalization is, "Have you got your first
papers?" Four cases of positive fraud have
been olearly proven, and the guilty parties
will be indicted at the next term
of Court. The Republican Committee have
taken the matter in hand, and are determined
to bring to grief as many ballt-box stuffers S3
possible. If Seymour carries New York, it
will be by these illegal votes, and in no other
Tray. In this connection we desire to oaution
the Republican leaders of this city and State to
be on their guard. Uhat has been done in
New York has beeu done in Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania in the past; and what U now
biing attempted there may be attempted here.
The election of last year, at which the Demo
crats carried the State by an insignliloant ma
jority, was no test of the sentimnts of the
people, who Buttered it to go uy ae'ault. To
hold tbeir gu.uud all available resourea must
be drawn upon by the Ueraocraoy, and tWr
record iu the past proves that they will permit
no "littiii "aine," however djsperite or dia
worableto go u;!.ri(J-.
The Publio School of Philadelphia.
Tbb last annual report of the Board of Con
trollers ot the Publio Sohools states several
facts which prove that there is room for great
improvement in several important particulars
in the existing school system of Philadelphia.
The number of pupils in the publio sohools
at the olose of last year was 80,410, and the
number attending private and paroohial sohools
at an earlier period of 18G7 was 24,662 in all
a little army of more than one hundred thou
sand pupils. There were at the same time
20,902 children between the ages of six and
eighteen years engaged in regular employment,
but there remained more than 20,000 children
from tlx to eighteen years of age who were
neither attending publio or private sohools nor
engaged in regular employment. Nearly
one-seventh of the juvenile population of
the city is therefoie growing up in igno
rance and idleness, and in rainy oases it is
to be feared that they are indoctrinated
in the mysteries of orlme. As a compulsory
educational polioy is earnestly advocated by
many of the leading teachers of the oountry,
the statistics furnished by this city are fre
quently referred to as a striking proof of the
necessity of adopting legal measures of some
kind to enforce the attendance of the children
of parents who are utterly indifferent to the
welfare of their offspring. In several Earo
pean countries eduoatlon has thus beeu rend
ered universal, and the experiment Is balng
tried, on a limited soale, in some portl ins of
the United States. Mr. Shippen, President of
the Board of Controllers, whose devotion to
his important duties cannot be too highly
commended, in disoussing this subject, says:
"What the results of suoh culpable indiffer
ence may be, it is not difficult to foretell; bat
they may be Illustrated, in too many instanoes,
within the walls of our almshouses, in the
prisons, and in the purlieus of our city. It is
indeed time to consider whether compulsory
education may not beoome an absolute neces
sity. Soolety has the right to pro
tect itself against the growth of vice by the
adoption of wholesome laws, which will cure
evils, as well as those which punish orlmes."
Under the present management the publio
schools are fortunately progressive. Soarcely
a year passes without the adoption of some
important improvement. We read, for in
stance, with pleasure that, "What is ordina
rily known as the cramming process, has been,
perhaps, effeotually and praotioally abolished
by the prohibition of home study, and sub3ti
ting therefor study at school. The teaohers
have been positively forbidden to allow school
books to be taken home." And we cordially
endorse the sentiment of the report that, "It
iB hoped that no longer will be uttered the
well-founded complaint, that the labor of the
publio school permanently Impairs the physi
cal condition of the children." The numerous
beautiful and commodious new school-houses
which are being erected in various sections of
the oity, also indicate that increased, as well
as improved, accommodations will be provided
for the ever-inoreaslng number of pupils. But
serious obstaoles to the perfection of the sohool
system still exist. The business of oleanlng the
sohool-houses is entrusted to Janitors, of whom
Mr. Shippen says mart "have rendered them
selves open to rebuke and censure for the
utter neglect of all their duties. Dirty sohools
houses, with unwashed' floors and windows,
and untidy yards, dirt being the rule rather than
the exception, are too frequent in our oity."
The determination of the Controllers to reform
this evil by the most stringent measures, will
be applauded by every good citizen. A more
serious difficulty arises from the antagonism
frequently evinced in Councils to im
provements suggested by the Board of
Control. The latter have endeavored
for several years to introduoe the study of
vooal music to a limited extent, and also to
secure a small appropriation for the purpose
of introducing "a thorough, simple, and
effective system of physical exercises" into the
schools; but these efforts have hitherto been
thwarted by the opposition of Councils. Some
times important studies have also been tempo
rarily suspended on aooount of unnecessary
delay in making appropriations for the requi
site books. It would be the true polioy of the
city when it possesses, as at present, a Board
of Controllers who command the confidence of
the community, to give it the largest possible
latitude, so that all these useful suggestions
might be adopted.
The Cosvictioh op Whales. On last Tues
day morning the trial of Whalen for the assas
sination of D'Arcy McGee was oonoluded at
Ottawa, Canada, and the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty. The prisoner made a long
speech, in which he solemnly asserted his in
noeence of the crime; he denied having any
connection with Fenianism; deolared that he
had been condemned because he was a Roman
Catholic; and protested that the evidence had
been deliberately ooncooted to oonviot him
We, of course, have no means of knowing
how muoh looal excitement, the
more than British loyalty of the Canadians
and the desire to make an example of a Fenian,
may have lnfluenoed the minds of the jury.
Whalan's counsel acknowledged that his trial
had been fair and impartial, and if the man
is really guilty the hangman's halter will be
no more than he deserves. The assassination
of a political opponent is one of the meanest
and most contemptible of crimes, and the
wickedness of suoh a murder as that of
McGee is increased by the fact that
it could be of no earthly benefit to any one,
but would rather strengthen the hands
of those who were inolined to oppose
any measures that might he set on foot for
relieving the wrongs of Ireland. The foul
murder of Mr. Llnooln exolted lu the breasts
of the American people a holy horror of the
crime of assassination, and the more recent
taking tff of Pdnce Michel, of Servia, and
the attempt upon the life of l'rinoe Alfred, in
AuBtialiabave only tended to make this feel
?f stronger. Whalen was eeutenoed to be
executed on the 10th of December next, ad,
in the absence of an evldenoe to the con
trary, the sentiment of all right-thinking men,
not only In the United States, but all over the
world, will be that the sentence is a Just one.
The only fear in suoh oases as this is that
political feeling will influenoe the Judge and
J- against the prisoner. This, o oourse, is
to be condemned; but if an assassin be dearly
proved to have committed the orirae with
which he Is oharged, the extreme penalty of
the iaw, swift and sure, should be his fate.
Septbmdbb Sassios of CoxaBBSS. It has
been deolded to hold a September session. We
had deemed it unwise beoause it was unne
cessary, but those with whom the deoiaion was
vested have seen fit to call both bodies to
gether. They may have had other informa
tion, better than that to which we had access.
We suppose they had. But we would urge
most emphatically upon the Republican mem
berg to be oareful how they aot. We want no
legislation at present. We want no niw lavs, no
new recenstruction acts, no mending of patches.
Let the case stand just as it does. We know
the Southern people are suffering wrongs; the
whole North knows it. Let the North vindi
cate themselves in this matter, and with the
loud voice of popular declamation sentence the
renegades and traitors for their acts. Do not
listen to the calls of the Southern members.
They are good men and true, but their passion
will oarry away their reason. The people are
in the very act of speaking. Let the servants
stand silent until the masters have pro
nounced their opinion. It will be in
jurious and impolitio for any laws, good
or bad, to be passed at the session
which meets on Monday next. Let it merely
adjourn until some day near the end of Octoban
or better still, until after the Presidential elec
tion, and leave the rest to the people.
In the old days when the South was totter
ing to its fall, and like all other despotisms,
gloried in its shame and boasted of the impreg
nability of the very foundations that were
already crumbling to ruin, one of its cele
brated orators rounded his diatribe against
freedom by calling the Northern laborer a
mudsill. The word was taken up and echoed
from boundary to boundary of the South, and
the epithet was hailed . with acolaim. It
suited the taste of the South exaotly; but we
did not know what it meant until they en
lightened us. The people of the North did
not know what mudsills were. The domestio
doorway of our laborer never was made of
mud, and it was only beneath the influenoe
of the peculiar institution that the home of
the laborer was so degraded.
Wk do not say that it is so, but it is ru
mored that the despatch from Maine has in
duced Mr. Wallace to order a certain large
firm of our city to oonttmot a number of
immense cauldrons, which can be used to
manufacture coffee, and that it is proposed to
have a sort of daooe, like the Witohes of
Macbeth, and to put large rolls of paper
into this coffee-colored liquid. If such is the
oase, we wonder what it means f Who ever
heard of anything so absurd as a number of
gentlemen boiling paper in coffee 1 Can any
one tell us what possible object they could
have in view, and why suoh immense caul
drons are deemed necessary f
The immense demonstrations of the Republi
oils of this State, following fast upon the
heels of the resplendent Republican viotories
in Vermont and Maine, have driven the De
mocracy to despair. Their leaders are unwil
lingly forced to the conviotion that eren
coffee-grounds and forged naturalization
papers cannot save them. They tried salt
petre to their hearts' content during the Re
bellion, and know by sad experience that they
cannot use it effectually against the hero of
Donelson, Vioksburg, and Appomattox.
A short time ago a Demooratio journal of
Maine predicted an overwhelming triumph in
that State, beoause the clans were coming in I
The phrase was a remarkable proof that lati
tude has even an effect upon orthography
further South the same word is spelled with a
A". It is evident, however, that it is only the
klan that is the watohword for the Democrats,
for the Northern clans belong to the clau Grant,
which has well begun its preliminary series of
skirmishes, preparatory to its general battle
and grand triumph in November.
Division Meetings. On Friday night the
Republican citizens of Philadelphia will meet
to organize their divisions. This is a most
important proceeding. It is commencing
at the very root of the eleotion system,
and we earnestly call upon all good citizens to
attend, to do their share, however small, iu
the work.

A man In Quebec, the other day,
(So tbs dally newspapers say,)
Had two dancing bears on tbe street
Keeping time to bis muslo with graceful feet.
He kept them dancing. In pleasant weather,
Safely and strongly chained together.
Thry gathered a prowd ot men and boys,
Who made a cheerful sort ol noise.
But some folks thought They disturbed the peaoa;
Bo they went and called the Quebec police.
So they danced along,
with Inulgoation.
And muslo and son?,
To me police swiilon.
And one man after another declares
T tat he conaideis Iheui dangerous bears
l or bears win bile. Ir tbey get a chance.
Kven it th.y v, been trained to dance
The bear man all tbe evldenoe beard,
-All tbe lime apeak ing never a word;
Till be gave a whittle, and said 'Out, bovsl"
A nd theu In the court was a Jolly noise I
tora healthy boy from each bear', skin,
Supped out of the p ace in which he'd beenl
These folks wei e sold I And tbe weather's too cold.
We may saielv declare, for anybody, either her, or
tuere, lo go bare, aud It Iho'I lair 10 rig tbe boys in lb,
