o THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1870. , - S nrxzizY or ins rnnss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals uponCurrent Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph- CALIFORNIA BULLIES. From the A'. 1. Tribvne. The laae and truculent letter addressed by the Anti-CbineBG Convention of San Frau ciaco to tlie Six Chinese Companies ought to arouse the indignation of the whole country. It ia little better than nndisgnised ruffianism, accompaiiied with peculiarly gros insults. The convention instructed its president and secretary to.inform the Uix Companies that it was neither'just to our own people nor "safe to the Chinamen" that Chinese immigration should continue. The worthy delegates dis charge this commission by informing the companies, that the Chinese are nuisances; that Hheir habits and morals are contami nating our people;" that they are becoming every day more and more repulsive to free men; and, finally, that the people do not mean to put up with them any longer.' The people hare a right to do as they please about everything, and the Anti-Chinese Convention was "the largest meeting of the people ever held in an Francisco.'' Hence the Six Com panies, and through them the ruling powers at Fekin, are to take warning that if any more Chinese persist in coming to this country they must come at the peril of their lives. But, it will be objected, we have a treaty with China, which guarantees to the people of that country the privilege of immi grating to our country and living here with out molestation. That is all very well, say the Tresident and Secretary of tho Anti Chinese Convention; but what do we care for treaties? The Government of the United btates is the people; the President and Senate , are our creatures, and when thoy don't suit us we turn them out. Besides that, Govern ments are sometimes too slow; California has before now visited summary justice upon offenders without awaiting processes of law, and if you are not careful she will do it again. At any rate, treaty or no treaty, Gov ernment or no Government, right or wrong, we mean to have our own way, . and if you bring your coolies here toe will kill them. The warning was not expressed in such direct language; but there was no mistaking its meaning. Of course the convention "re grets" the excited temper of the public which makes these outrages probable. It counsels patience, and will do all it can to prevent vio lence; but it reminds the Chinese that "when people act from impulse in resisting wronc," tbey often commit excesses belore anybody can interfere. The popular feeling is growing dangerous, and the only safe plan for the "oolies is to keep out of the way. Headers of "Put Yourself in his Tlace" will remember that whenever the Saw-Grinders' Union blew up a factory or "did for" an obnoxious work man, the society officers, who had paid a desperado to perpetrate the outrage, professed to be inexpressibly shocked, and offered a small reward for the detection of the criminal. Now let the Anti-Chinese Convention pat itself in the Six Companies' place. Suppose Messrs. Hong Chow, Sam Yup, and the rest of them bhould reply that the immigrants had become impressed with the deplorable idea that our Government having promised to protect them if they came here, was bound to do it; that the people of California had no right to molest them so long as they behaved themselves; that Chinamen, as well as Ame ricans, are apt to do ugly things when they "act from impulse in resisting wrong;" and the Calif ornians had therefore better let them alone unless they want to be stabbed or poi soned. If the Six Companies had then inter woven with this answer some indirect incite ments to violence (as Mr. Winkle urged Snodgrass not to warn the police of his pro posed duel), the parallel would be perfect. These Californians are apparently ignorant of the first principles of politics, as well as justice. The people are not the Government, but only the source of power. The President and Senate are not their "creatures," sent to Washington just to register the popular will of the hour, and liable to be turned out at the demand of a mob. Treaties are no more to be repudiated than debts, and cannot be abolished by vote. They might as well talk of voting to abolish all mortgages on real estate in the city of San Francisco. The Chinese question is not to be settled by law less violence, or insolent or threatening let ters. . It is the plain duty of the Government to protect the coolies, and if it fail to do so, after the warning of these San Francisco . gentlemen, it will be held guilty of not only negligence but cowardice.. FRANCE AND GERMANY IN THE REVO LUTION. From the K. Y. WorW. If the existing war in Europe works us no 'Other good, it may, perhaps, induce some few people, who evidently stand in need of light on the subject, to investigate the nistory of the United States, now frightful is the re sponsibility incurred by Mr. Bancroft and bis publishers, who between them have scared the present generation out of any attempt to familiarize themselves with the deeds and the sufferings of their ancestors! Here, for ex ample, is a correspondent of the Evening Port, writing from an university in Iowa, who actually believes that t ranee assisted the col onles in their struggle because she was "at war with England," and thinks that the case of "Lafayette and other generous French men who came over to us of their own accord has a parallel in that of the Prussian Baron Steuben and of De Kalb." The Pat's histo rian omits to mention whether the university from which ne writes anoras mm her ma ternal milk of science in the capacity of a pupiLor looks to him for light in the capacity of an instructor. In either case it would be an act of charity on the part of the "Children's Aid Society" te send out a small boy from one of our publio schools, not exactly, as JLmersoa says, to "Teach Iowa Sispn art," 1 bat At least to put that Hopeful young com monwealth right about the origins of the nation to which it belongs. France did not assist America because she was at war with England; but England went to war with France because she assisted America. The Prussian Baron Steuben came oat to America, not because he was a Prns- - sian, Lut because he wm urged by the French Count de St. Germain to oomt. lie was not in the Prussian service at all at the time, bat was living in Paris, where his French friends sympathizing with America put him ia rela tions with the American commissioners, who . finally persuaded him to accept a commission ' from the young republic. De Kalb was not ' a Prussian at aiL He was a lieutenant- eolo- ' net in the French army when Choiseul, in 17C 7, having made rp his mind toatimulate the movement towards independence in , Antf rica, Invited him to visit this country en a aeoret mission to study the feelings and - terrier of tie colcaisiJ, to .asccrtjUA &?ir wants in the way of military resources and pre p rat ions, and to inspire them with hopes of that assistance from France which they evenluollv received and which secured their. triumph. l)e Knlb discharged his misnion with nkill and fidelity; aud as he was a sol dier of faith and honor rather than of fortune, he held himself bound to give the help of bis sword and of his science to the colonists whom he had encourpged into re volt, lie fell gloriously on the field of Cam den, sealing with his blood the cordial alli niice of the oldest of Christian monarchies with the youngest of Christian republic. The army of Cornwallis against whom he fought was largely made up of Hessian mer cenaries. But all this importation of past events into present controversies is quite a delusion and a mare. It is ungrateful, which is bad, and silly, which is perhaps worse, to deny the gre'at debt of gratitude due from the Ameri can people to France. Adams called France "our natural ally," not only because she was the enemy of England, but because she had no interests in conflict with ours, and because her philosophers and her statesmen of the eighteenth century were in advance, not of the Continent only but of England, in their emancipation from feudalism and in their an ticipation of those great ideas which, since the declaration of American independence, have been carried with he arms of France from the banks of the Seine to those of the Danube and the Elbe. The Germany of our Revolutionary dy was the Btronghold of Continental feudalism. How much of tho Erogreps which she since has made Germany eiself owes to France no candid and intelli gent German will find it easy to estimate; and certainly no such German will deny that the debt is a deep and a real debt. At bottom, the interests of the people of both countries are the same. To this their own passions and prejudices, quite as much as the ambition of rulers and of minister?, may blind for a time either one people or the other, or both. But the truth will make itself felt decisively sooner or later. And in the meanwhile it becomes Americans to deal fairly by both parties, and to avoid being caught up in tho fiery whirl of the passions of either. THE MYSTERY OF THE TWENTY-THIRD STREET MURDER. From the X. Y. Herald. But six full dayH have elapsed since the most atrocious and appalling murder that has ever horrified New York was committed in the very heart of one of our most populous city neighborhoods, and already we Bee in sidious and determined efforts made to mys tify the public mind and browbeat public opinion. Precisely in this spell of social in- lluence lies the secret oi pubuo insecurity. If any individual can, upon this pretext or the other, be held absolutely sacred from the most searching inquiry in a murder case, then what is called "detective" business in New York is simply a sickening imposture that insults the common sense of every think ing man. There are beings capable of counting upon precisely this kind of impu nity. "No one would believe it possible for me to nave done this deed, has been the language of criminal after criminal to him self, as the elaborate records of Great Britain, France, and Germany show. The famous volumes of the "Causes Celebres" pre sent several cases analogous to this Nathan horror; but French justice is no respecter of persons: it instantly fastens the seals of the State upon all papers, implements, articles, and depositaries in the house of assassination; it holds every inmate and every associate therewith connected under the most rigid surveillance, day and night; it takes each man and woman apart, in silence and in secret; it prevents their conference and possible collusioD; it questions again, again, and again, sometimes reiterating the very same inquiry over and over, at different and at unexpected times; it confronts, com pares, and scrutinizes; it accepts all sane material and rejects nothing; its touch has the terrible strength of the finger at the end of the elephant s trunk, which can alternately toss aside hundred weights and pick up a cam bric needle. ' Then, along with thia width of range combined with minute intensity, deli cate science, culture, and educated informa tion are brought to bear in their most attrac tive as well as in their sternest forms. The hand is of iron, but the glove is of velvet; the contact is artistic, but the grasp upon the throat of the felon is inexorable and deadly. .Let our readers recall the processes of de tection in the Traupmann murder case, which horrified all France. What indefatigable activity, what keen foresight, what patience, persistence and yet what rapidity of move ment ; w hat breadth of view and yet what microscopic minuteness of scrutiny ; no test! mony was rejected ; no theories were pom pously Bcoffed at by inflated ignoranoe ; no decent agencies were slighted ; no influence, one way o the other, was tolerated for the twinkling of an eye; all things were taken in and sifted, the chaff only was thrown away after winnowing, and if but one grain of fact remained it was held precious. And the re sult ? The soil of all Europe seemed alive under the feet of the murderer ; the very stars watched him at night ; the whistle of the locomotive when he tried to fly de nounced him with a voice like the shrieks of his victims ; the sea alone yawned ready to receive him at navre ; in his utter despair he sprang into its billows and found himself in the clutch of the law 1 He was tried, he con fessed and was executed. This is ability, and this is detection. The police of New York and of the United States have now a conspicuous and an irrevo cable opportunity before them. This is their Waterloo, and they win nobly aisonarge their duty. We verily believe that to real skill and science, armed witn adequate authority, the solution of this so-called mystery is at the door. The individual or set of individuals who may attempt in the slightest degree to clog their progress or tnrow even goiaen or common dust in their way must be regarded as hostile to society, lhe Bum of twenty five thousand dollars is large, but it is not enough for the expenses of this search. It is a mere trifling exponent of the overwhelm ing importance of the detection and punish ment of the culprit. No combination must be left strong enough to outbid the cry of justice. That would be to leave the throats of every banker and merchant or of any pos sessor of a home and means exposed to the knife of the midnight assassin. A State or a nation, a commercial board or a mercantile body, would better spend a million in ferret ing out all the mysteries of this crime than in half of the purposes to which they do apply their money.- It is a case of the "pub- no in danger, and punuo paia omcers must now, once for all, do their duty, and their whole duty, or themselves be ut terly undone. . YACHTING AND YACHT RACING. From ths N. Y. Time. We make a distinction between the two. Lord Duffei in, for instance, dasiroiw of (5fti2 foreigu land,, aud ecia'.ly tlow inaccessible by ordinary means of communi cation, builds himself a stout and convenient jncbtand uses it as his private conveyance to far-distant Iceland or the stormy shores of Norway. , In this he acts no differently ftom any traveller who prefers to be his own master as to times and seasons of departure or arrival. The yacht is his vehicle, and he constructs it in accordance with the best known rules of speed and safety com bined. He is not, in the full sense of the word, a yachtsman only a gentleman ou his travel!", and travelling as a gentleman should do if he has the means. Another may adopt the yacht as his summer residence, t-mploying' it as a portable yet comfortable heme, and as a refit from the cares of busi ness, or a relief from the heats of the city. Such a man is likely to be a member of the best yacht club in his vicinity, and to par txipate in its annual regatta, though without much expectation of winning the cup. We may describe him as half a yachtsman, hav irg a mild interest in the enthusiasm of his ffilow-members, and considering his work done when he ha8 paid his dues and attended the annual meeting. Then there are others who make a short annual excursion, or an oc casional lone-shore cruise, the excuse for a ttmporaiy relaxation from work. Perhaps none enjoy the w ater more than these, but they do not contribute essentially to the primary object, the serious and actual utility which is the soul of yachting. Besides these there is a class necessarily veiy limited in numbers, because only per sons of large means can afford the luxury, who look upon yachting as one of the most effective means of improving naval architec ture. It has been truthfully said that no great improvement in the models of ships can be expected either from our Government navy yaute, or the ship yards of private builders for the commercial marine. As to the navy yards, the melancholy experience of the last ten veers is enough. Whether it be that the Buieau of Construction is overburdened by theory, and so bothered with logarithms, the equilateral hyperbola, and its asymptotes, that it has forgotten the shape of a ship or the use of the power which is to propel it; or whether it be that "red tape" and the con stant "relief" of one engineer by another who supposes that be can improve upon his predeceshor, be the reason, certain it is tLat the navy, which ought to be a grand school of construction, is looked upon wiU much of suspicion, if not of con tempt, in that regard. Once during the war a really fast ship was built to chase blockade runners, but she had such an "unstable equi librium," such an incomprehensible disparity between engines,4rad hold, that she was put in ordinary. Even in monitor iron-clads, our one ewe-lamb so far as inventive naval con struction goes, we have been compelled to look at the British Monarch, and admit that it far surpasses our finest iron-clads, albeit it is adapted from the American invention. The Government devotes too little attention to experiment, and allows too much deference to abstract science. It ought to be the teacher to it struct us in the whole method of construction and rigging, but it is nothing of the kind. In the merchant marine, although its achievements have been brilliant, they have been in a measure accidental. No builder can afford experiments. He is a mechanic, and must please bis custo ner, and the latter is ordinarily satisfied to follow what he be lieves to be the best existing model. The necessity with both is to build a ship, for freight or passengers, which will pay in the peculiar trade for which it is designed. The income to be derived from voyages is the main consideration, and one vessel is built after the model of another, improvements creeping in gradually, developed only by sloiv degrees. Who, then, shall be the instructor in naval construction ? The Government declines perhaps wisely, considering the results in the navy yards to intervene. The ordinary shipyards of commerce cannot do the work, except in a way exceedingly slow, and attended with commercial hazards such as ought not to be incurred. The yacht seems to afford the solution. Experiments on these lesser models of great ships can be made without ruinous cost to those who are rich enough to indulge in any satisfactory form of ocean yachting. Their efforts . for success are not embarrassed by the supervision and conflict ing orders of a host of officials. Their fail ures are only a personal disappointment, and do not involve the reputation of a great manufacturing shipyard. Their success brings with it the highest form of reward in the personal esteem of others and the dis tinction which success carries with it. And from this class of men limited as it must be we may expect that pure sense of probity dependent upon personal honor and not on professional pride or speculative ambition, which gives a high value to the tests to which they submit. In this particular American yachtsmen may be quite satisfied to be represented by the owner of the Dauntless. SPECIAL. NOTICES.
