Prtm the A'. Y. Tribal.
The niflgio hovu wl.ich I M.eron gnvo to Sir
Iluon set every one duiicnig who happened
to bo within oar.-hot of its blunt. Thus, while
the benrer of the gift vns surrounded by ene
mies, and could lurdly of IjIh ow n resources
find his way ont of the dil'ic.iilty, ho had but
to blow liiH horn, sot his fics jiiuipiug and
jigging, and escape amid thoir punting coti
iusiou. The Doininioiiisth iu Canada Het-in to
he trying an experin ert borrowed from the
lively c antos of W ie I ami's poem. They appa
rently hope to get out of nil their dillieulties
by hitting Trinee, Arthur and all parties and
sectH, and the population generally,
dancing to the roystering music of
the Highland reel. 'The l'rince danced
with everybody, duneid down everybody,
danced as only princes in newspaper descrip
tions ever do dunce; and he carried away the
atlection of a populace of perspiring competi
tors. "Dance bgut, for my heart lies under
voiir feet, love," is the refrain of a pretty bal
lad which all the loyalists of the Dominion
lni'dil have chorused in the modest ears of
voting Arthur. Where are your auti-Domi-iiionisN
now your annexationists, your
nialiguants, who were v out to set the mari
time provinces in a roar? Danced away, ap
parently, as sail thoughts are said to be in
another ballad whereof we remember nothing
more.
Still, Hoineliowl there remain difficulties
hanging over the luturo of the new Dominion
which your only jig-maker though he be a
prince, cannot cuarm away. Doubtless the
(Queen's third sou is very popular in Canada.
He seems a winning, intelligent lad, who has
not yet arrived, and we trust never may
arrive, at the season of Schneider, and can
can, and music hull, lie appears to have
lent himself to Uio fcMivo business of the
visit with thorough good humor, and his
presence, no duuu , has I'oen a social success.
JSut if it was M'lioi'Mv proposed to use it
as a counterblast to the- dissatisfaction of a
certain portion of the Canadian people, it
will prove a decid.-d failure. The
loyalists of Caiia la art- ;.lr;;:dy loyal enough
in" all conscience; it is only spurring the will
ing horse to administer fresh stimulaut to
their devotion. Indeed, there still exists
among certain i iss.es in Canada a senti
mental, high-Uin .1, nit ;i,;'Vid loyalty, which
died out of Jvi;,l m1 wiih the Stuarts. A

too. ((ttite clearly t hat l.iif;lund wants to be rid
of them. We commented a few days a;;o
upon the remarkable frankness with which
ir John Yonng conveyed to tho Canadians
the assuraneo that England is ready to let
them go whenever tht-y plo.ise. The dele
gates from the several Uritish American Pro
vinces found ont. this fur themselves, to the
great surprise of lua'.iy of them, when they
went over to England to agitate for and
iigaiust the Doiniuinn project. The
notion taken np by sume of our New
York contemporaries, that the English Gov
ernment have sent 1'iiuee Arthur to Canada
for the purpose of ottering him to the Cana
dians as a king, is utterly chimerical, and, in
deed, shows a curious ignorance of the feel
ings of tho Engii-di public i'ud the opinions
of English statesmen. - may all rest as
sured that 1'rin. w Arthur's mother and l'rince
Arthur's friends would no more allow him to
accept tho crown i:f Catiadu than the crown of
Dahomey. ''The Crcn." sr give themselves to
me." said tho cr.udi nis Trench KiuL', " ni"i
if le tlonne mi ilinhh." Triuce Arthur will
never, wo fancv. receive i.ti v such offer from
the Canadians; b'U, if he should, his answer,
although not couched in just the same lan-
cun;e, would assuredlv be to much the same
ctt'eet.
If there is any political significance in the
visit, it is Kiniply in the fact that the Donna
lonrst are trying to make capital out of it.
ro iar as ivjigianu i: concerned, it means
nothing. Canadu will, in fact, soon tind her-
Hdt practically rtnveu to choose between trv
ing to set up for an independent Stato and
annexing herself to our great republic. When
it comes to this even the most antimiated of
monarchists, even the most ambitious of titlo-
loving politicians, will look, at the one bide.

LO! THE TOOK NEGEO.
Frim the A". O. ricayunt.
The fruits of the cuorts of the fanatical
preacher and politician of the North are
ripening daily, aud the harvest of death will
be frightfully large. lreeilom, and the
e.nialitv of tho black race, sociully aud noliti
callv, with the white r ice, have been decreed.
and the results are being made manifest. The
laws of nature are fixed and immutable, and
when, judging from tho whole past history of
the world, we see that tho negro is the lowest
in the Bcale of the human race, we must con
clude that a fixed, an rternal law so decreed.
W e can nee no change in the condition of
the negro, morally, intellectually, and physi
cally, go back as far in we cun. They
re the name now as
tiu v were at the date oi
the building of the I'yrami Is no change for
llu better. It is certain that they had us
good a start In the race of life as the other
varieties of the human specieH, but the inex- '
oral le fact is, they alone have not improved.
5ut here in the United Statss, nnder a mild
system of bondage, some advance was mtde
by them, but as soon as the controlling influ
ence of tho white race was taken away, we
find the negro lapsing into his original bar
barism. Tho increase of population in any
considerable degree depends upon relief from
cares and a sutHcient quantity of food and
clothing and shelter from the changes and
inch mencios of weather. The census, par
ticularly that of lN'iO. shows that tho natural
increase of blacks was much greater th.m that
of the whites, proving clearly that the condi
tions if life were more favorable to increas
ing the blacks than that of tho whites. With
out cares, with comfortable cabins, with good
clothing, and a sufficient quantity of whole
some food, the negro improved and multi
plied. l!ut now, left to the tender mercies of
his pretended friends, ho is sinking fast to
his original condition, and gradually, or
rather rapidly, disappearing. Not long since
we read of the sufferings of the negroes in tho
District of Columbia, that only portion of
the territory of tho United States under
the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress. The
Chairman of the National Freedmon's Relief
Association appeals for tho relief of ;t,Oi)
negroes, suffering for tho want of the neces
saries of life in tho District of Columbia, aud
his appeal is responded to by a donation of a
barrel of onions and a barrel of potatoes,'
worth iyK'iTiO, all the way from tho North, tho
region where the negro is regarded as a man
and brother. An appeal to the benevolent,
to contribute to supply tho wants of negro,
was never heard of before tho advent of radi
calism. But now, right under tho nose of
Congress, :'(,( li.nt of its wards aro crying
for help. There is no help for them but in
themselves, and as we know that Providence
only helps those who help themselves, wo can
.see no relief for them, for they aro as help
less now as when they first made their appear
ance upon earth. It is a hard fate we pity
them but their present deplorable condition
was thrust upon them by the fanatical North.
That they are not increasing in population is
apparent, and that they will finally disappear
is also evident. Let this one extract open the
eyes of their pretended friends:
"P.emiforl, S. C, says tlio Lynclilmrjr Snr.i, onec
the fashlonulile watcriUjT-pliice of Sutita Carolina,
lias become decayed, rajrifiid. lunacies, aud a uiiirc
clam-bed. Once It was to the Smuli what J.oiir
KraiKii and Newport are to tin- North. It bail ltd
hundred boats and battlers, but now there area
lew mean whiles who intermarry with the negroes,
a few low liquor shops and clothing stores, a few
ex-oillcials el Hie Treasury, who hope to get a lit le
Sea Island cotton, and a few Kiuntcil palmettos. Tlie
correspondent, of the I'.oston 'J'mr.elrr, who tells us
ol the decay, adds I lie luiiowitur el the urirro rare:
"Away tin the sandhills, m the bomii-prools of
fo! ts. under eld forts and decaying tents, tins
lamily of colored nu n, lun:iir the war industrious
and happy, are now parsing t in-lr lives in the wilder
ness el the desert islands, aions their idunes or in
I lie woods of the inner islands. Such lives will soon
be past, l-'or they tell us that the surf, which can be
heard so distinctly. Is the only voice that sings the
dirges of hundreds that almost daily are laid in the
cold square tenements, dug in the sea beu "h. doing
down to death, a who e race, at the rale of a thou
sand a day, and leaving noiir behind to bear their
lianies. This, then. Is fr-edom ! SuH'crinR for fojtl.
lor clothing, lor eve-ything, having no money, no
trade, no employment ; nothing to hope or to live for.
Free to search for labor they cannot llnd ; free to die
unnoticed and tinknelled, one arter another, until
the latal fiftieth year comes round, when, at the
present rate of disease, the whole race will luve
gone into the gloomy hereafter.''
THE lirSS ASNIVEI1SA11Y.
Vd-.ii the X. Y. Utvahl.
At l'rague, f n the 1 th, ."ith and dth of this
month Saturday. Sunday, and Monday
will be celebrated the rive lmndreth anniver
versary of the birthday of John IIuss. Great
preparations are on foot to give this festival
an imposing character. All parts of Lohemia
and Moravia will be represented by deputa
tions. A large number of guests are invited
from liussia, Servia. and other Slavonic coun
tries. France and England are also to send
their contingent of visitors. It is stated that
(iuiot, Victor Hugo, and other distinguished
Frenchmen will be present. This festival,
intended to do honor to tho memory of a man
who inaugurated one of tho most remarkable
movements iu mcdiieval Europe, is sugges
tive of many reflections at the present time.
It is four hundred aud fifty-four years since
John Huss was burnt by order of tho Council
of Constance, and after death his ashes scat
tered to the winds. According to the sen
tence his body was delivered to the hre and
bis soul to the devils. This was done although
a ( lenimn emperor had pledged his word to
give the great Doctor of l'rague a sate con
duct to the council aud back.
It was supposed that with the death of IIuss
the ideas which he represented would lie
stilled. hat was the result ( AH Dohomta
rose up, and for twelve years undisciplined
peasants bade defiance to the best troops
which the empire could send against them.
and compelled Home and Germany to make
terms with men whom thev anected to looic
upon as heretics and rebels. All this would
have but little interest at the present day.
ext ent for tho student of history, were it not
tor the lact thai ouesuons raisou iu uouenua
by IIuss in the fifteenth century are pre-omi
nently the questions of to-day in Europe. On
their proper settlement depend tne peace anu
development of tho world. Ul these ques
tions one is political and tho other religious,
At the present time peoples or tho same
race and lantsungo aro striving to iorm tueni
selves into homouoncous croups. This has
inven rise to what is now called the question
of nationalities, which is without doubt tho
chief i outictd question of Europo in our
time. The ereat struk'tiies anu rivalries are
between governments which have placed
themselves at the head of the national move
ment and those whose personal or dynastic
interests are opposed to it. Tho animating
idea of German v is a united fatherland, which
till Uismark's time seemed to bo merely
dream of poets, but which since tho battle of
Sadowa is last becoming a rotuiiy
Austria, unable to bring about Gor
mnn nmtv. does not wisu mat u
should take 'place under the auspices of her
great rival; hence the grievances oi iiuuui
f i
Delist, who, n we may oenovo ins speocues
aud despatches, bestows much unrequited
love on ungrateful Prussia. Trance, ot
course, cannot but give a word of sympathy
to the ill-used Austrian unanceiior duo sym
pathizes with bis separatist movements, fear
ing that a united Germany nngui nave ioo
much significance, and the "Grande Nation"
be forced to take a second instead of tho first
place in Western Europe. Italy is yearning
and btrnggling for national unity; but the
l'opo stands in tho way. Tho Slavonic and
Greek populations of Turkey aro struggling
for a position among the Christian nations of
tho earth. 'Western Europe, or at least tho
Governments, affects to believe that tho rule
of the "sick man" is a wise dispensation of
l'rovidence.
Everywhere we find tho traditions and in
stitutions of ages of conquest and violence
coming iu conflict with tho legitimate aspira-
" una tendencies of the people. The
struggle ,iUiy i,e louj mt its issue cannot be
doubtful. On every side we find the question
of nationalities to bo tho question taken up
by the people, and as such destined to con-
qner,
cabin
No efforts of diplomacy, no tricks of
nets, can prevent the union of nonuU-
tions of the same race, language, and ten
dencies. There are few better examples of the
vitality of a great idea than that afforded by
the history of the movement begun in Bo
hemia in the fifteenth century. The ques
tion of nationalities, supposed to have boon set
at rest forever by force of arms, has become
the leading idea of Europe, and its realiza
tion is of prime necessity. With a united
Italy and Germany, with' a constitutional
Trance, satisfied with the rank which her
natural genius and her geographical position
may ennble her to maintain, not inspired by
the vain belief that sho is and must bo of
necessity the first of nations, Europe might
follow the example of America by disbanding
her armies and paying her debts. Sho might
men educate her ignorant populations, in
stead of overburdening them with taxes and
military service.
The religious movement in Bohemia was
very different from Protestantism of a century
later. The object of the struggle was to re
tain a certain amount of local independence
in the churches of different countries without
separating from communion with Koine an
endeavor to reconcile liberty with unity. A
similar attempt was made in Franco, but
without success. If the Bohemian and Galli
can movements had succeeded constitutional
ism might have become tho form of govern
ment iu tho Catholic Church, and reform
made possible without revolt.
Since it was announced that an Ecumenical
Council was to be held at Koine during tho
present year, wo have takon a deep interest
iu its probablo issue. Many persons, judging
from the encyclicals, the syllabus, and differ
ent allocutions pronounced in the Vatican,
suppose that a decided stand will bo taken
against the most cherished tendencies of the
age, and that Pius IX will anathematize
modem civilization as unholy and unchris
tian. If, however, Komo has retained even a
portion of thut wisdom which bo distin
guished her in other times, we may venture
to think that this course will not bo taken.
She will perceive that the main questiou is
one government. By the introduction
tif a rigid system of imperialism into the ad
ministration of the Church, the Papal power
puts itself in opposition to every modern de
velopment. If the Ptipe but reads aright tho
signs of the times, ho will be able to provide
for himself a surer support than can be ob
tained by opposing reforms in Austria and
enlisting zouave in France and Canada.
This support will not be obtained by strug
gling against whatever is most valued by the
present age, but by bidding Godspeed to all
tho legitimate strivings of tho people. By
liberalizing the internal administration of the
Church, and by making himte'.f tho senior
Bishop of Christ. n lorn, tho position of tho
Pope would be such as to need neither zou
aves nor Chassepots, of which, as temporal
sovereign and absolute Chief of the Church,
he seems to In Jin need.
SICKLES AT GETTYSBURG.
Frtmi the S. Y. Wrhl.
"We gave in yesterday s issue a circumstantial
BUii:
account of the manner iu which tho insubor
dination of General Sickles resulted iu' such
erriblo slaughter among the Union troops
at the second day's battle of Gettysburg, aud
caino near occasioning the defeat and con
sequent annihilation lor del eat would have
een annihilation of General Moados entire
army. Jho account is lortitieii in tno most
conclusive manner by the evidence taken in
eferenco to the battle ot Gettysburg by tho
Committee on tho Conduct of the War, and is
illustrated by a diagram taken on tho spot
and tallying precisely with tho strategic in-
irniation lurnished under oath iy General
Meado and the principal officers of his com-
nand.
The motive prompting Sickles lo venture
on so obvious a blunder as the assumption of
ho position mdicatod in our diagram has
never been exactly Known, tiioujm it nas
been stated that he thought himself compe
tent, by thrusting out his unsupported corps.
o cut ieneral Lee s army in two and thus se
cure for himself a fame on the order of that
accruing to Wellington from tho battle of
Waterloo lho ignominious manner in
which this vainglorious effort failed
was very fully set forth in our
article ot yesterday, and with it appears
curious fact in connection with this
sanguinary blunder that nas not Hereto
fore been brought into prominence. It is
known that tho losses in Sickles' com
mand, tho :id Corps, were appallingly
neavy; but, from tho tact that the battle ot
Gettysburg extended over threo days, it has
passed into a general acceptance that these
losses were the natural result of bo lont'-con-
tinued a struggle. .Now, from tho evidence
presented, it is beyond question that tho iid
Corps was not in action at all on the first
of the threo days' li id dint;, and but slitrhtlv
engaged, with "very small loss: says Gene
nil Dirney, who commanded it after Sickles
was wounded on tho third aud last day.
All its casualties, or virtually all. aro there-
lore directly traceable to tho operations of
the second day. On this day, tho testimony
is unanimous Unit tho assault by tho Con
ledeiates began at 1 1'. M. and terminated at
about dusk, or, at that time of the year July
about seven o clock, vwihin those three
hours, then, the lighting was done aud the
corps sustained its icrrino loss of so many
thousand men. Desides the :td Corps
losses, nenrly as many more men were killed
and wounded in the other corps and parts
of corps that were ordered np to save tho
Third from annihilation, General Meado boin
forced to bring up five to one before he could
beat Loiipstreet oil ot the command upon
which ho had swooped us soon as tho opportu
nity was divon him. iheso men, then, ot
thtso other corps fell as much vie
thus to Sickles as 'did tho unfortunate
soldiers of his own command, and tho
Aggregate is perhaps as bloody a slaughter as
is chargeable in tho annuls of warfare to tho
incapacity on any one occasion ot any one
commander. Iu Sickles' immeiliate com
mand, tho retrimcnts participating in tho
action aro given byname and number in our
article; and, as tho fighting of the ."id Corps
was from I V. M. to 7 I', M. ot tho L'd oi July,
1 Hilt, those who lost friends or relatives in
any of those regiments at Gettysburg may
know verv distinctly to whom the sucrilice oi
thoir kin-peoplo ami friends is duo.
As to tho last count in tho indictment
against this epitome of vileuess, it will bo
seen that, but lor tho tremendous ouorts put
forth by five-sevenths of Meade's army to
hold Longstreet's corps at bay, the result of
Sickles' blunder would have been tho end of
the United States and tho establishment of
the Southern Confederacy. With tho loss of
Gettysburg would have come tho occupation
of Washington, foreign intervention, the
raising of the blockade, the perpetuation of
