CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.
From the rll Mall Gazette.
People who have been pnt to exponso and
annoyance are seldom able to take a caudkl
vlewofthe conduct of those of their neigh
bors who ttey think could have prevented it
bad they only been at the trouble to do bj.
It i? quite natural, therefore, that the Cana
dians should regard the recent Fenian raid
with the feeliDgs described by the America!
correspondent of tho L unci in his letter of
Monday. So long as no actaal attempt had
been riiaclo npon the Dominion it was con
ceivable that the Tomans in tho United
States Miight entertain exaggerated notions
of tLe glory and plunder awaiting ttieai
on the other sida of the frontier, and
of the service they would do the cama
of tho republic in Ireland by unking tho
uionauhy tremble in ('aualu. Further, it
was diflU-ull to predict how largo a number
would be influenced by the notions in ques
tion, ai'd consequently with how formidable
a force tho Canadians would have to contend.
While these uncertainties lasted, the Cana
dians were not likely to give much thought
to the attitude of the United States in Ihe
business. Against a really serious danger
they knew that they must Io,k for protection
to themselves alone. Cut as the real value of
the invading organization became npparont
the excitement and the sense of responsibi
lity declined. Fenianism dwindled dosvn
from a danger to a nuisance; and no w the feei
ng in Canada seems to be that whether
he Americans do or do not wish to
ee the British provinces invaded
n good earnest, they should
at any rate not allow them to be subjected to
a series of sham invasions in which the worst
sufferers are the hen-roosts of the froutier
settlers. These trumpery inroads, the Cana
dians say, are the necessary result of allowing
Fenianif-m to exist as a distinct political
organization to hold meetings, to appoint
officers, to collect subscriptions. If it were
refused leave to keep itself before the public
in this way, it would soon die a natural death,
and in that case these military demonstra
tions would fail for want of cash wherewith
to pay the railway fares of the invading army.
"Why should the United States Government
wait until there is an actual movement of
Fenians towards the border? Why not kill
the mischief in the egg by withdrawing tho
tacit sanction hitherto given to it in its pre
belligerent stage?
The Tihicfi1 correspondent thinks this feel
ing unreasonable. lie argues that the United
States authorities have shown themselves
thoroughly in earnest in dealing with tho
recent raid, and that it would not be possible
for them, under existing circumstances, to
have applied any directly preventive treat
ment. We think he is right upon both
points. The mere list of dates given in his
letter is sufficient to establish the zeal of the
United States Government in putting a check
on the operations of the actual invaders.
The Fenians began to move on Monday, the
5:;d of May. The Cabinet met on the 2tth,
and the President's proclamation was im
mediately issued. On the 2.1th United States
troops were converging from all quarters
towards the threatened frontier, and on the
Bame day O'Neill was arrested. By tho 2(itn
General Meade was commanding in person at
St. Alban's, and the whole line of invasion was
occupied by his soldiers. On the 27th the
affair was over. "We are bound to say that the
promptitude of these movements contrasts
favorably with the routine delays which ena
bled the Alabama to effect her escape. The
United States Government are certainly
entitled to the eredit of having discharged an
undoubted duty in a way which leaves no
doubt of their genuine determination not to
give Great Britain any cause to feel that their
interpretation of international law has been
at all affected by the subsisting dispute be
tween the two countries. In expecting the
United States to do more than they have done
already the Canadians seem to be guilty of
the same mistake which the people of the
Northern States made so consistently during
and since the civil war. They expect their
' neighbors to sympathize with them as well as
to do their duty by them. The American
Government says in effect, Whenever any
of our subjects attack Canada we will throw
very obstacle in their path. The Canadians
answer that a great many American subjects
are constantly proclaiming their desire and
intention of attacking Canada without being
in any way interfered with by the United
States authorities. In much the same way
the English Government used to declare its
readiness to act whenever any attempt was
made to fit out Southern privateers in
English docks a declaration which was
usually replied to by the quotation of some
speech delivered at a meeting of persons
sympathising with the Southern States, and
not disguising their intentisn of giving them
material help so far as it might be in their
power to do so. w hat was an unreasonable
complaint on the part of the Americans then
is equally unreasonable on the part of the
Canadians to-day. in no tree btate can
the authorities control the expression
ot individual or associated opinion, so
long as it does not involve those
who entertain it in any breach of municipal
law. Englishmen had a perfect right to wish
well to the cause of Southern independence,
and Americans have a perfect right to wish
well to the Irish republic. The United States
Government are bound in the latter case, iust
as the English Government were bound in
the former case, to take care that this moral
sympathy does not lead to anything further,
but there their obligation ends. We have
just seen in the case of the Fenian invasion
that this limitation does not prevent those to
whom it attaches from putting a prompt stop
to any overt acts against a triendlv power.
We still hope that at some future time the
American people will recognize that the si mi
lar limitation to which we ourselves were
subject was equally compatible with the
maintenance of the neutrality to which we
stood pledged.
SAINTS AND -THEIR SKIRTS,
from the A. 1'. World.
Some w eeks since Brigham Young preached
a sermon on the sinfulness of short skirts
And the deceitfulness of paniers. This ser
tuon bis already borne fruit in the formation
of a society among the ladies of Salt Lake
City which rivals tne celebrated Breck Lane
Branch in the length of its comprehensive
title. "The First Young Ladies' Department
of, the Ladiea' Co-operative Retrenchment
Association of Salt Lake City" has ple lgei
ltsell to l el or in tne dress or tne fair daughters
and wives of - Utah. These ladies annouuee
that "cleanliness is a characteristic of a saint
and an imperative duty." That imperative
duties are necessarily cleanly is an assertion
which is at least open to doubt, especially
When we take into consideration the impera
tive duties which niny cluster upon a com- j
mittee charged with the investigation
of the misdemeanors of ft carpet-bag
Congressman. There need, however, be
no hesitation in denying the statement
that cleanliness is a characteristic of saint
hood. On the contrary, dirt and saintlincis
rave too frequently been inseparable. The
mints of the Orient and the Indies are mira
cles of mud and monuments of verminous
though voluntary martyrdom: and the early
(saints of the Christian Church, who chained
thf mselves to the summit of pillars, nn 1 in
dulged in various other eccentric though
pious games of a like ascetic character, wore
certainly not eminent for fcleauliness, how
ever indisputable may have been their claim
to faintliness. It is to be hoped that the
Lutter-day Saints have recognized the dispen
sation of soap and water as well as tho gospol
of Joseph Smith, and that tho claim to cloaa
litoss made in their behalf by the "First
Young Ladies' Department," etc., is well
founded. If so, it 'Constitutes an iunov.iLion
upon the traditional customs of the modi;evnl
saints, and deserves notice as a novelty. The
Gentile world cannot permit the statl-mont
that clennline.ss is a characteristic of a saint
to pass without a protest ajainsl its historical
inaccuracy.
In view' of tho advantages of cleanliness,
the "First Young Ladies" have resolved that
they "shall discard tho dragging skirts, and,
for' decency's snke, thoso disgustingly shoit
ones extending no lower than the boot-tops."
Now, in discarding the dragging skirts, tho
"First Young Ladies" will have the sympathy
of all cleanly per.sous. whether they be saints
or sinners. The masculine world will, how
ever, draw from this organized opposition to
short skirts conclusions not at all to the credit
of the average anklo of a "First Young
Ladv." It is a singular fact as unaccounta
ble as the frequency with which a largo ruin
is found in the neighborhood ol a great city
that ladies with undesirable angles warmly
disapprove of short skirts. The "First Young
Ladies" mny be faultless in point of anklo and
perfect in respect to calt, but their opposition
to skirts which reach onlv to the boot-tops is
calculated to create suspicions in the Mormon
and masculine mind. Not so their denuncia
tion of "paniers and whatever approximates
in appearance towards the Grecian bend," as
constituting a "burlesque on tue natural
beauty and diguity of tho human femalj
form." The pauier has no friends among the
men, however strong may be the admiration
felt for it by sbnutly built women, lhe
"human female form" may gain in the nam
ber of its curved lines by wearing tho panior
and by curving in the Grecian bead, but the
lines thus gained are not displayod in a posi
tion where one cares to feast his eyes upon
their swelling curves, and are thoretore not
to be included among the lines of beauty
The "human female" saints of Utah will do
well if they can banish the panier from their
midst. In this cliort the First loung Ladies
Department has our earnest sympathy; and,
in consideration of tho stand which its mem
bers have taken against the abomination of
long skirts as well as the folly of paniers, we
are willing to check the suspicions which
naturally attuch to their opposition to the
coquettish short skirt, and to believe that
this opposition is due to the influence of that
selfish monopolizer of female beauty, Brig-
Lam loung, rather than to a consciousness of
shortcomings in respect to calves and offenses
in lespect to ankles.
THE PRESIDENT'S POSITION.
From the X, V. Times.
The President is at this moment subjected
to criticisms which no man situated as he is
could afford to disregard, since they proceed
not from those who are opposed to him in
politics, but from those who have hitherto
been among his most cordial supporters.
The complaint that in many important re
spects he is disappointing the just expecta
tions of the people gains ground every day,
and is echoed back from all parts of the
country. A year ago he had every advantage
in his favor. People were prepared to extend
to him the most generous consideration and
forbearance. Ordinary shortcomings would
have been readily pardoned. We have our
selves, as our readers will attest, ever been
foremost to do justice to his intentions, and
to place his actions in the most favorable
light before the country. But it would be
useless to deny that the President is render
ing it a task of increasing difficulty to defend
him against enemies into whose hands he is
constantly playing.
It is certainly not the fault of his support
ers in the press that so thorough a want of
harmony exists between the Senate and him
self. Matters seem to be getting into very
much the same state as they were in the time
of Andrew Johnson. Projects in which the
President takes a deep interest are igno
miniously cast out of the Senate. This op-
fiosition may partly be due to the dissatisfac
ion with which certain features of the Presi
dent's policy are regarded, but it may be
traced still more clearly to the want of tact
which General Grant often displays in his
dealings with men. He seems to have lost
the art of conciliation. His nominations to
office are dictated in many instances by
cajriee, or by personal preferences which are
founded on motives inexplicable to those who
entertain a high opinion of his character.
His antagonists, indeed, find it easy to inter
pret his conduct by the assumption that he is
influenced by all kinds of unworthy considera
tions. "We who have patiently stood by him
cannot tranquilly accept that hypothesis.
But in presence of some of his acts we stand
bewildered it is impossible to defend them;
it is impossible even to understand them.
They are purely phenomenal in their charac
ter, and cannot in any way be traced to the
ordinary causes of political action.
One of the great mistakes which President
Grant is making is to suppose that the quality
of determination, nob to call it obstinacy,
which won for him many of his successes in
the field, will serve him equally well in the
arena of statesmanship. The first duty of
any one who occupies his great position is to
suppress his own individual preferences
whenever they are in conflict with the publia
interests. Instead of exercising this degree
of self-denial, the President seems to know
but one rule what he has once decided upon
must never afterwards be modified. If, for
some inscrutable reason, he promises an
otlice, nothing can induce him to alter his
Eurpose. He is deaf alike to the appeals of
is friends and the taunts of his enemies.
Once more he has delighted his opponents
and disheartened his supporters. He has
made a nomination for the New York Col
lectorsbip which set 4 rational explanation at
defiance. We have no desire to attack Mr.
Thomas Murphy. Much may doubtless
be said in his favor. He has been
a good Republican, and has doubtless
endeared himself to a large circle of
friends. But President Graut knows per
fectly well, or he might know if he chase,
that he ought not to have removed Mr. Gria
nell in order to make room for Mr. Murphy.
There was no necessity for the step. Ttis
public Lave not been considered in it. It is
fpen to objections which have been placed
before the President but he has chosen to
disiegnrd them all. If the choice of Mr.
Murpny 19 conhrmed by tne benate, we cn
do nothing more than hope tint
he will discharge the duties of his office
in a manner which will reflect
credit on his character. It would be useless
to discuss his personal fitness any further,
l'rcsident Grant has made tip his mind, and
that process seems sometimes to exclude the
ordinary operation of reasoning upon the
Lvmian understanding. But there are few
public men who could afford to rep9at ex
pel iments of this kind. If the President is
lesolved to habitually spurn the advice of his
iiiipartibl supporters supporters who have
nothing to ask from him and nothing to ex
pect be must not b9 surprised if in tho end
he finds himself standing alone.
THE "WORKINOmIeNS MEETING WHAT
ARE THEY DRIVING AT ?
1'rtin the .V. Y. lUrahh
On Thuisday night a demonstration was
made in one of tho "city parks, intended to
declare and show the bitter opposition of the
vorkirt'iiien of this city to the further im-
poitation of Cliineso labor. If tho mechanics
of this country are opposed to tho coming of
the Chinese, the Chinese will c iue all tho
tame, fir.d the woikingiueii will by and by
discover Hint they were mistaken in opposing.
TLtrtfore if lhe workmen are against thenar
comer that is no reason why lie nhould be
kept out: but wo do not see that tho opposi
tion of the workingman is shown. This meet
ing of Thuisday night did not show it. In
the fiist place the workmen were not there,
save in numbers utterly inadequate for an
c-sr ression of general opinion from them on
an exciting topic. From this one fact that
the workingman stays away his indifference is
dear. He does not care about the Chinaman's
coming. He leaves the subject to men who
make a trade of agitation, aud these men who
des ire to make a political issue with the work
irgmnn's vote behind them merely as3ume to
speak on his behalf. The speeches at the
meeting and the resolutions give U3 the
opinions cf two or three individuals against
a movement that is a direct result and out
come of the logic of events and of our posi
tion in tho world. These individuals want
our representatives in Congress to make laws
to protect workmen "whoso more advanced
intelligence and improved tastes" have gene
rated wants that render it impossible for them
to live as cheaply as tho Chiuesa can, and the
law they propose is thit Congress shall shut
out the cheap labor. Congress cannot do it.
Congress cannot even take exception to the
fact that these laborers come to us'on a con
tract system; for it is simply silly ignorance
to argue that this constitutes slavery.
In fact, this opposition to the Chinese is
on a very small basis of reason, nnd wo are of
opinion that they who make it will by and by
be able to shake hands with the silly people
who once supposed that tho coming of tho
Irish and Getmans was to reduoa wages, or
that lhe making of shoes in State prisons was
to degrade the noble art and mystery of
boiing holes with nn awl and driving pegs
with a flat-headed hammer. The Germans
and the Irish came, aud are coming by the
hundred thousand, aud wages have been
going up all tho time, and are double anl
treble in all trades what they wcro then.
Shoes are made in State prisons, and all the
shoemakers have not followed their craft to
those safe retreats; whence ,we infer that no
degradation of labor or the laborer has taken
place. It will bo with tho Chinaman as it h is
been with the others. He will tread on no
man's toes. He will only stand on ground
that was unoccupied before. He will simply
help us to cover more acres, no will con
tribute to the growth of the country. He
makes shoes to-day at a price at which white
men refuse to make them. He will take at
first to what white nsen refuse; but when ho
gets a foothold he will develop the industries
that he learned at home. All our emigrants
at first earned their bread at the trades thoy
found in existence here: but when thoy have
looked about them a little they have dis
covered that tho trade that employed their
hands at home was not introduced here,
though there was an excellent mar
ket for the product of that industry,
which perhaps was bought and sold at
a high importer's price. Upon this hint the
Italian, the German, the Swilzer, the French
man have gone quietly to work, and pre
sently it has dawned upon the public that a
new industry was flourishing in our midst.
By this very means the variety of occupation
has been greatly enlarged among us, and in
this way, more than in any other, has emi
gration enriched the country. Chinese emi
gration will operate in a similar manner, only
that the new occupations that will thus come
in will greatly Burpass in number, variety,
and originality all those that have come from
all other countries; for China is richer than
all tho world together in the industries that
relate to the comforts, conveniences, and
economies of life. We, and not the Chinese,
are the parties who will profit most by the
Asiatic advance.
THE GRAND LAMA.
Frcm the Fall Mall Gazette.
, Those who have not forgotten one of the
most amusing and instructive books ever
written the work of Messrs. Huo and Gabet
on China and Thibet will remember the
amazement occasioned to the simple Roman
Catholio missionaries by the spectacle of
Buddhism in the countries in which it is still
a living faith. They had labored in China,
and were already aware that Buddhism was a
vast and complex creed which, though some
centuries older than Christianity, consisted,
like it, partly of the maxims of a very pure
morality and partly of a great system of
dogma on matters supernatural. They were
not ignorant that the dogmatic part of ' it
rested on the authority partly of certain
sacred book's, but chiefly of a number of
councils, (Ecumenical so far as the Eastern
world is concerned, of which the meetings
and the decisions are as well authenticated as
anything in history. But, while they were
familiar with these analogies, they were
utterly unprepared for the re
semblance which, in the coun
tries on the northwest of China, Buddhism
wears to the practice and ceremonial which
they had left at home. They found large
monasteries of celibate monks, living a life
which, so far as could be judged from its
external aspect, was precisely that of the re
ligious in Europe. They found preaching
friars, pilgrimages, and modern miracles.
They found temples which at tht first glance
might be taken for churches, and a ritual
which scandalized and frightened them by its
similarity to the ministrations of the priest
before the altar. The explanation of these
startling phenomena which the missionaries
gave to themselves was at once simple and
complete. They 6aid that it was the work of
the Devil. With the express object of pre
venting the spread of Roman Catholio Chris
tianity in these regions, the Prince of Evil
had the malice to invent a caricature of it,
and thuiJo create an obstacle to its propaga
tion far more difficult to overcome than the
most invincible ignorance and the most ob
stinate supeihtitiou.
One of the adventurous missionaries (if
not both) is now dead. If they had beoa
continuing their explorations during the pre
nent year they would have had yet one more
devilish analogy to describe and account for.
For Buddhism has not only its Scriptures, its
councils, its creeds, its asceticism, nn 1 its
ceremonialism. It Las also it infallible
Pontiff. Nor i3 tho way in which the Grau l
Lama acquired his "prerogative of inerrancy"
in any way a secret or a mystery, lie ob
tained it party no doubt through the doclino
of .the more spiritual forms of Buddhis-u. and
through tho consequent general tendoucy. to
the grosser kinds of superstition: but the
cbief cause of his elevation was the decay of
councils. India had revolted from the fai'h:
China Lad grown careless aud contemptuous:
there were great political difficulties in the
assembling of councils, and. even when got
together, they would not have represented
what wbr conventionally regarded as the world
of Buddhism. Accordingly the substitute
for councils which presented itself to tho
comparatively smnll part of tho Bucdhist
community in v.hi:h devotion rem lined fer
vent was to tako a priert nnd to believe, or
make believe, thnt ho was infallible. Tuat
tLere is a real analogy between tho infallible
personages at Rome and at Lhassa will not be
denied by nnybody whose fith does not go
the length of belief in limbic. The other re
seniblniic s between Buddhism nud Christi
anity may bo superficial or accidental, and
certainly it would be a more couceit to affect
to see in one creed the principles inherent in
the other. Rut, in presence of the tremen
dous asr-uuiptiou that a particular humaa
beirgcau commit noerror of opinion whatever
concerning the things of the othr world, or
concerning morals aud politics in this life,
all other differences disappear. All systems
of belief which include such an assumption
are essentially identical.
From this point of view, it is curious to
observe how much more sensible and better
adapted to its object is the system of select
ing the Urand ljama tlian tue system ot
elect ins the Pope. A fw years ago tho in
fallible Pontiff of Thibet died, and the news
papers contained a despatch to tho Emperor
of China from his ambassador at Lh.issa,
giving an account of the mode of obtaining
a new spiritual chief for Bud Ihism. A sort
of competition was instituted between all the
infants born in Thibet who preseutod certain
signs signs which were obviously supposed,
according to a sort of rough phrenology, to
indicate intelligence and gentleness of char
acter. The child who exhibited these signs
most distinctly was determined to be the
Grand Lama, and was taken under the
enre of the heads of the Buddhist
priesthood to bo educated for his posi
tion. It seems to us that, if a religion is to
be subject to tho decrees of an infallible
Pontiff, this is a particulaily ratioual mode
of mitigating tho inconveniences which may
be expected from the system. In the first
place, the Church is saved from liability to
an infallible sentence during the whole period
of the pontifical nonage. Next, by the care
ful education of tho child, and his lifelong
seclusion from the world, the utmost security
is takeu for Lis reflecting the corporate
spirit which he is supposed to embody. If
isu individual is to succeed to tho functions
of (Ecumenical Councils, he had much better
be brought up to no duties except the
exercise of these functions. The dangers
which the Roman Catholic Church has to
apprehend from an infallible chief arise
liom the great part of his life which he will
inevitably have passed in the world outside.
The days of the incestuous, lascivious, wildly
ambitious, and grossly covetous Popes have
pei haps gone by. But there are many types
of character produced by the long practice of
particular ecclesiastical functions, or by a
peculiar intellectual training, which if found
in future Popes may well spread dismay
through the whole Roman Catholic Church.
An infallible Oxford convert would be a ter
rible danger, particularly if he had given his
youth to weak poetry and his prime to
effeminate sermons. An infallible Irish
patriot might wreck the fortunes of the
Church, and so might a irenchman not fully
weaned from belief in the glories of France.
Perhaps an Italian who has been little out of
Rome is the safest depositary of these start
ling powers; but even with him the Church
is not safe from the consequences of vanity,
obstinacy, and garrulity in old age, and its
tendency to contract its society within the
limits of cliques. By adopting the dogma of
infallibility the Church has probably made it
inevitable that the present history of the
Popes shall take the place of tradition as an
overruling ecclesiastical influence.
THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY MIGHT
HAVE PREVENTED THE REBELLION.
From the X. Y. Sun.
General John Cochrane stated at a dinner
party the other elay some important facts that
Lave not been known, and w hich we now pub
lish with his permission.
General Cochrane was a delegate from New
York in the Democratic National Convention
of 1800. It is well known that the breach
between the supporters of Douglas and the
Southern Deinooracy rendered the session at
Charleston of no avail, and caused the con
vention to bo .adjourned to Baltimore. At
the latter place efforts were made to reunite
the sundered factions, but without suocess.
Finally, however, John Slidell, of Louisiana,
had an interview with Dean Richmond, of
New York, 'at which General Cochrane was
present. Slidell proposed that if the friends
of Douglass w ould agree to lay him aside, and
would bring forward Horatio Seymour, of
New York, as their Presidential candidate, the
whole Southern Democracy would bind them
selves to unite in his support. Thus the
party would go into the election unbroken
and there was no doubt that it would suc
ceed in electing its candidate for the Presi
dency. Mr. Richmond took time to consider this
proposal and to consult with his friends.
The result was that it was positively declined.
The Douglas men of New York would not
Bgree to any such compromise. They nomi
nated their candidate and the South supported
Breckinridge, taking good care to defeat and
punish the politiciaus who had thus refused
to negotiate with them by the election of
Lincoln, which was followed by the war, the
abolition of Blavery, and the full enfranchise
ment of the negroes.
These statements show that the reproach
so often cast upon the Republican party of
having forced on the Rebellion through an
obstinate unwillingness to make any compro
mise, applies much more forcibly to the De
mocracy of New York.
