THE NEW DOMINION.
Thk young English prince has not gone to
the New Dominion one day too hoou. The
discontent of the people in rapidly increasing,
nnd their loyalty is waning away ho rapidly
that the presence of half a doon of Victoria's
children may soon he necessary to quell the
n.-pirations of the Kanucks for independence
and annexation. The abrogation of the llooi
proeity treaty has demonstrated the vital im
portance of free trade with the United States,
and the conviction is rapidly growing that if
it can be had on no other terms than incorpo
ration in the Union, those terms should be
submitted to. English aid to Canada is ne
cessarily Helfish and comparatively useless.
Millions of English capital have been ex
pended in the construction of Canadian rail
ways, but the routes have been selected rather
with a view to promote the military interests
of Great Britain than with a desire
to accommodate the people. Their welfare
is made subordinate to ulterior designs, and
if their affairs can be manipulated in a man
ner conducive to British interests, the home
government cares but littlo how much they
may Buffer. The whole New Dominion
scheme was founded on the false idea that a
powerful confederation could be built up on
our Northern i rontier as a check to American
progress; that eventually a railway route from
the Atlantic to the Pacific could be opened
to the British possessions, which would be
come a formidable rival of the continental
railways of the United States, and that the
bulk of British emigrants, hereafter, would
seek new homes in this new elysium. But
these plans were completely thw.irtel by the
abrogation of the Reciprocity treaty. It
demonstrated that all the aid Great Britain
could render was of no practical
value if American markets were
not freely opened to Canadian products.
Instead of attracting emigrants from Europe,
the New Dominion has sent hundreds of
thousands of her best citizens to the United
States; and at a recent annexation meeting
held in Quebec, one of the speakers said that
1,'. ""(), 000 Canadians were now "prosperous,
contented and happy" in this country, while
those who remained behind were "miserable,
nnd one-half of the year restricted to the bare
necessaries of life." John Bud has made
nearlv as bad a failure in his New Dominion
project as Napoleon made in his scheme to
establish an empire in Mexico. Animated by
the same motive, jealousy of the Republic,
they have both been discomfited by the iu
herent impracticability of their plans, and
their folly would be laughable, if it had not
caused much misery to the immediate victims
of their experiments. In striving to engirdle
or crush us they have only depleted their own
treasuries and imposed unnecessary suli'erings
upon the people to the north and southwest
of our broad dominions.
The practical question in the New Dominion
to-day is quaintly expressed by a writer in the
Montreal press to be, "Shall we become a na
tion of marksmen, and the object annexa
tion ?"' And the general disposition to answer
this question in the ailirmative is only
checked by the exaggerations of the Lnvdeus
of the American debt which are publisho 1 in
the Tory newspapers. A candid examination
of the bugbear, however, results in the convic
tion that the existing debt of the New
Dominion is more oppressive to the
people, in their present impoverished condi
tion, than their share of our debt would be,
if their prosperity was restored by free trade
with the United States. Sooner or later this
Agitation can have but one result. It must
load to annexation. But it is better for all
parties that the subject should be thoroughly
considered in all its bearings, and if our Gov
ernment steadily refuses to re-establish the
Reciprocity treaty the Canadians will inevi
tably learn the value of a close atliliatiou with
the American people.
MOSES TUB SECOND.
Asir.i:w Johnson, of Tennessee, some time
President of the United States, has been both
misapprehended and misrepresented. Some
stupid or malicious Bohemian, in reporting
his recent speeches, represented him as
claiming to have set free the sluvesof Tonnes
see, while acting as Military Governor of that
State, by authority of President Lincoln;
while a still more stupid or still more mali
cious Bohemian recorded him as claiming to
have acted under the authority of the Consti
tution of the United States. The ardent
admiration which Mr. Johnson has always ex
pressed for that instrument, and the extreme
devotion with which he guarded its integrity
and inviolability for nearly four years, led
us to credit the latter statement in the most
unqualified manner. Mr. Johnson s profound
knowledge ol the lunuameniai law of the
land most certainly qualified him for dovisinu
some constitutional manner of accompliHhing
his object, while his professions of sublime
devotion to that immortal document should
certainly have resiraineu mm irom going
about the business in an unconstitutional
way. With what astonishment, then, do we
read an authoritative correction as to the
course and motives of the Groat Emancipator,
recently published in a Tennessee paper
The Moses of Tennessee is made to develop
a uew and unlooked-for phase of his many
sided character, to reconcile an unflinching
devotion to the Constitution with an open do
fiance of its unmistakable provisions.
But this is not the most astonishing part of
the business. Not only does Mr. Johnson
explicitly deny that he claimed to act the part
of liberator by virtue of the Constitution, the
flag, and the thirty-Reven stars; but he further
declares that he did not claim to act by the
authority and direction of Mr. Lincoln, who,
as Commander-in-Chief of the military forces,
proclaimed liberty throughout the land and
to all the inhabitants thereof as a war mea
sure, rendered necessary and justifiable only
by the exigencies of the conflict at the period
when emancipation was proclaimed. All the
world knows that Mr. Johnson is the
last man in the country to advocate the
right of the military to ovorrido
the civil power. But all the world knows
equally well that Mr. Johnson acted for some
time as Military Governor of Tennessee an
officer, to quote his own words, "unknown to
the Constitution nnd the laws" and, further
more, that, during the dark days of the war,
he gave a hearty support to all the war mea
sures adopted by the Government for sup
pressing the Beiiellion. It would be natural,
therefore, to suppose that if Mr. Johnson
were to deny that he went into the Moses
business under warrant of the Constitution,
he had done so by virtue of the military des
potism of which he was the head and front in
Tennessee.
Yet even this assumption is denied by his
alleged desire, and ho is represented as saying
that he freed the slaves of Tennessee, not by
authority of Mr. Lincoln, nor under or by
authority of the Constitution, but that he did
so "by the broad, inherent right which God
gave to every man to own and control him
self." Or, to use his own words in a speech
delivered at Knoxville: "I myself proclaimed
that slavery no longer existed in Tennessee;
that every man was free by the inherent prin
ciples in him." Now this whole story is ut
terly incredible, and unworthy of belief with
out further authentication. Besides being in
conflict with the well-known constitutional
views of Mr. Johnson, it is in conflict
with his well-known modesty, and
until we hear more upon the
subject we are forced to believe that it is
merely a device of some enemy of the ex
President, alio seeks to bring him into disre
pute. The fact that the alleged authoritative
correction sees the light through the columns
of the Knoxville M'iiy, which is owned by
l'nrson Brownlow, lends weight to our posi
tion. Parson Brownlow "s hntred of Andrew
Johnson is so intensely bitter, and his charac
ter ns a politician so unscrupulous, that he
would cheerfully lend himself and his news
pnper to such a dirty purpose as that of de
faming the Great Emancipator of Tennessee,
the stout defender of the Constitution, and
the champion of the tlag with the thirty
seven stars.
THE IS I'll LING A ME EMI1ASSY.
A si:hiks of very remarkable rumors have
reached us from China with regard to the
rejection by the Pekin Government of the
treaty concluded with the United States by
Mr. Burlingames embassy, and with regard
to the character of that embassy, which, if
the rumors be correct, turns out to be some
thing very different from what was xupposod.
The rather vague despatch from Hong-Kong
informs us that the Pekin Government refuses
to ratify the convention concluded by Mr.
Burlingamc and his embassy with the United
States: that the Chinese text of Mr. Burliu
game's credentials differs from the foreign
version in the former he is ap
pointed Envoy of China to
tributary nations nnd, lastly, that
J. Boss Browne, the late American Minis
ter to China, in reply to nu address of the
American and British residents at Shanghai,
has denounced Burlingame's policy, and de
clares that the establishment of foreign rela
tions with China on a basis of equality is im
possible at present.
There are a number of suspicious circum
stances about all this which indicate that all
the craft and duplicity is not on the side of
the Chinese authorities. These disconnected
and very unsatisfactory reports come to us
from Hong-Kong, which is almost exclusively
a British settlement, and the headquarters of
British influence and intrigue in China. The
selection of an American as the chief of the
imposing embassy which was sent out with the
ostensible purpose of demanding admission
for China into the family of civilized nations,
gave mortal offense to the English traders,
who saw in this action an indication of
A mcviean supremacy in the councils of the
Empire, and the loss of their own influence.
Boh in China and at home they threw every
possible obstacle in the way of Mr. Burlin
game, nnd it was only by his fine tact and the
obvious justice of his demands that he was
able to overcome them. There is very little
doubt that British intrigue has been at work
upon the jealousies and fears of the Chinese
Government, nnd that Mr. Burlingame and
the work that he has been engaged in have
been misrepresented in every conceivable
manner. If the treaty is really rejected.
therefore, the probabilities are very groat
that the English are really responsible for it.
As for Mr. J. Boss Browne, it is very likely
that but littlo difficulty was found in getting
him to tnke the position he does. His ap
pointment to the delicate ond responsible po
sition of Minister to China was a matter of
surprise with every one, and his prompt re
moval by President Grant was a matter of
intense dissatisfaction with himself. Mr.
Browne's denunciation of the Burlingame
policy, therefore, is not difficult to account
for on the grounds of jealousy and disap
pointment. At the Bamo time it must be acknowledged
that the alleged course of tho Chinese Gov
ernment is fully in accordance with their
established reputation for duplicity. They
fe r the "outside barbarians," who can sweep
their country, batter down their walls, and
sack their cities with a handful of men, but
they are not willing to dismiss their own
pride and come down from the lofty height
where they have placed themselves, so as to
acknowledge the equality of other nations, or
to recognize foreign princes, except us the
inferiors of the "Brother of the sun nnd the
first cousin of the uiooa." A singular instance
of this has just been shown by the refusal of
the Chinese court to receive the English
Prince Alfred on terms of equality.
Some years ago there was a similnr
difficulty with the English Minister upon
a point of etiquette, and the Chinese Empe
ror refused to receive hiiu unless he and his
suite went through the ceromony of knocking
their heads upon the ground a certain pre
scribed number of times. The capture of
Pekin put nn end to that sort of nousense,
but it is more than possible thnt the favorable
accounts which hnve been sent home by Mr.
Burlingame nnd the members of his embassy
may have persuaded the Imperial Govern
ment that now nil their difficulties were nt an
end; thnt there wns no longer any danger
thnt ships of wnr would batter down their
cities whenever some Englishman or Ameri
can hnd a real or fancied grievance to be
redressed, and thnt they were consequently
at full liberty to mnnngo affairs in their own
fashion without let or hindrance.
There is every renson to believe that Mr.
Burlingame undertook the embassy with the
purest motives, nnd the treaties which he has
concluded are all more advantageous to China
than to any one else. If the reports about
the rejection of the trenty with tho United
States and the irregularity in Mr. Burlin
game's credentials are true, that gentleman
will be placed in a very embarrassing posi
tion. We are very much inclined, however,
to doubt the whole story until some more
positive information is received, and if there
is any trouble, there is very littlo doubt that
an investigation of the case will show that
British intrigue and jealousy are at the bot
tom of it.
STEPHENS ON SECESSION.
The ex-Vice President of tho Southern Con
federacy, A. II. Stephens, continues from
time to time to ventilate his theories about
State rightB, the rightfulness of secession, the
justice of the Southern policy in originating
the war, and other favorite Southern abstrac
tions. It is scarcely worth while to fight over
these old battles. If the bloody contest de
cided anything, it settled them. Even Ste
phens is now compelled to admit that the
alleged right of secession "is not based on
the Federal Constitution, but upon the au
thority that made that compact." In admit
ting this he admits everything thnt was ever
seriously controverted. If people choose to
rush into rebellion or revolution, they can and
will do so whenever they feel that it is safe
and desirable to encounter thnt fearful risk.
A million of men can defy a national or State
authority, if they please, just as a band of
robbers mny resist a sheriff's posse, or a bur
glar knock down a policemnn. In either
case they must take tho consequences. The
danger nnd deception of the favorite South
ern doctrine consist in the pretenso that a
resort to secession is legal nnd lawful in the
ordinary acceptation of tho term, and that tho
American people have no right to coerce a
State. Faith in this delusive idea precipi
tated the Rebellion, but tho result proved
that the nation will maintain itself intact at
nil hazards, nnd that tho alleged right to defy
the national authorit ies by State action is of no
more value than tho right to batter your head
against a stone wall, to press your breast
against a line of gleaming bayonets, or to
attempt to ascend to the moon in a flying
machine. Pi:iiSLXXTIO.

.ir Francis Goldsmid sends to the London
Telegraph the following translation of a letter
from Moldavia, giving information respecting
the persecution of the Jews In that princi
pality: "Families accustomed to every domestic com
fort have been driven from their homes, anil arc
obliged to wander about without knowing
where to reft their weary limbs. The poor
exiles have not even been allowed time to
collect the scanty remnants of their portable
property. They have been despoiled, defrauded,
and ill-treated yet no one conies forward to
procure for them the needful sympathy, and to
put a top to the infamous proceedings. On
the last festival of Pentecost the village Jews
were thrown into wagons and removed from

these persecutions. Women in the agonies of
childbirth were dragged away from their couches.
In vain did they Implore to have only one day's
respite granted them.
"Among the Jewish villagers was ono who.
during the whole period of the famine of 18(H),
had relieved the laborers residing In the vicinity,
and had thus aflorded sustenance to no less
than eighty families. Tho sum thus expended
amounted to 7000 francs, as is proved by the
papers he left behind and whic h bear the olficial
seals of the sub-prefect, as also of tho chief of
the village. During the same period this bene
volent Jew caused a new bridge to be con
structed at his expense, when tho former one
had been carried away by the overflowing of
tho river. In like manner this Jew had con
ferred many other benefits upon his fellow villa
gers. Scarcely, however, had the mm stry the first
rescript fortfio expulsion of the Jewish villagers,
when the sub-prelect nnd the chief of the yi lago
Biivmo seized this same Jew, together with his
wife and children, threw them into wagons, and
carried them awav from their comfortable
homes. His charitable works and the documen
tary evidence of his public usefulness obtained
tor him no consideration.

A LIFE FOR A BALLOT.
Murdrr of nn InoflrnnlTe Citizen In Kentucky.
Prom the Xathrilte Banner,
Last Friday evening (August SO), not long be
fore sundown, Captain W. L. Hathaway and Mr.
Henry Frazier left Snilthvllle for the house of a
man named Bradford, about four miles distant.
On the way, no hostile feeling was exhibited by
Hathaway towards his companion, who was re
garded ns one of the quietest and most lnofTon
slvc citizens In Do Kalb county. After reaching
Bradford's a glaso of cider was indulged In, when
some remarks wero made as to the result of the
recent election. Hathaway, who supported
Center nnd the May Convention, but afterwards
went went over toVtokes, soon became very ln
tctiipcrnte in his language, and said that "any
man who voted for Center was a rascal,
md that he could whip any scoundrel
who did vote for Center." Mr. F ritzier quietly
replied. "I don't believe you can." Hathaway
Immediately put his hand" behind him, and was
in the net of drawing his pl.tol, when he was
seized by Barton, while James Williams, the
f htritf of the county, who was present, held
Mr. Frnzicr. although tho latter was unarmed
and liiadc no movement whatever. Just at this
moment fieorge Hathaway, a brother of Captain
llatlmwuy. came up and 'pushed Barton rudely
aside, saying to his brother. "Now shoot the
rascal if you want to. ' Captain Hatha
way at once fired on Mr. Frazier, who was
still in the grasp of the Sheriff. Two shots took
effect, one in Mr. Frazicr's side and one in his
heart. He fell to the earth and did not
live more than two minutes. No effort was
made by the Sheriff to arrest either of the
murderers. George Hathaway was subse
quently apprehended by a posse of eitizeus, but
his still more guilty brother had not been found
nt last accounts, although a diligent search was
being made for him. W c devoutly hope that the
dastardly and cold-blooded assassin will be
brought to justice. His career of blood has
lasted long enough. A rutllan and a bully by
instinct, he has kept around him since the war
a band of desperadoes who have been the terror
of the peaceable and order-loving citizens among
whom they dwell. It has been a mystery to us
how his murderous band could have ruled there
so long. Although ever armed to the teeth,
Hathaway, like all cowards, has never sought
to vent his infernul fury except on the unarmed
and defenseless. He knew that Mr. Frazier had
no weapon, and was not anticipating any colli
sion. Aided directly by his brother, who was of
tho same stripe, and Indirectly bv the sheriff,
who thus wantonly violated the laws he had been
elected to enforce, the deed was easy of accom
plishment. SPECIAL NOTICES.

were all saved ; indeed, the blils came out of the Safe
without a singe, and nothing is discolored but the
