rnosrECTs of the treaty.
From the X. Y. Tribune-,
It ia thongbt that the debate upon the
treaty of Washington will be brief, and the
most careful canvass which has been made of
the temper of the Senate indicates that the
two-thirds majority necessary to ratification
will be readily obtained. The Committee en
Foreign Relations having reported favorably
to the treaty in its entirety, and all its mem
Lers having given their adhesion to it, there
has as yet arisen little occasion for any ex
tended discissions of its principles. The
Senator from Massachusetts, whose duty it has
hitherto been to give utterance either to the
sentiments of the administration or the voice
of the Senate in all matters of international im
portance, for the first time in many years finds
himself, in position to regard a treaty with no
other sense of responsibility than that whioh
comes from his own conscientious patriotism
and the weight of his personal character and
influence. It is understood that while, with
bis nsnal freedom and acumen, he has criti
cized some provisions of the treaty as not in
accordance with the former diplomatio essays
of the Government, he makes no opposition
to it as a whole. He may define his views
by proposing various amendments, but will
probably throw the weight of his name
in favor of tatification in the vote. It appears
to be the intention of the Democratic minority
net to make a party question of the matter,
not because any transient gleam of common
sense or publio spirit has entered into their
councils, but simply because it is impossible
for them to deoide how anything is to be
made, in a political sense, of their votes in
the case. There is, therefore, a reasonable
hope that the treaty will be ratified by the
Senate in the course of the present week, and
though it is hardly probable that the British
Commissioners, who Bail on Wednesday, will
carry with them their completed work, it is
fair to anticipate that the first news they will
receive at Queenstown will be that of the
vote of our Upper House in confirmation of
the great aot of national reconciliation to
which they have devoted the vernal months
of the year.
It is not likely that any very serious danger
or difficulty awaits the treaty in England.
Earl Russell feels a natural anxiety that all
his elaborate disoussions with Mr. Adams
shall not be turned to mere waste-paper by
the action of his own Government, but the
substantial gain to England in the settlement
of this question will be apt to outweigh all
consideration for the feelings of this sensitive
statesman. Neither is it probable that the
mere instinct of opposition will be sufficient
to unite the conservative minority against the
Gladstone government npon this issue. It
would be poor polioy for Mr. Disraeli to
defeat the Ministry npon grounds which
would be untenable to himself in case of
success. It is now clearly evident that publio
opinion in England and by this we mean not
only the popular sentiment, but also the de
liberate judgment of the most intelligent men
imperatively demands that this vexed dis
pute be finally set at rest. The sword of Da
mocles is to be taken down, sheathed, and
laid away in the armory. After the legisla
tion of 1871 on the subject of neutral rights
and duties, it was felt by all thinking men in
England that the position of the British Gov
ernment on the Alabama claims was essenti
ally a false one. It is greatly to the credit of
the publicists who sustained the American
side in the recent conferences at Washington
that they brought the Government of Great
Britain to consent to the retroactive applica
tion of the new rules of neutral obligation
denned by the treaty. It appeared from the
delay of the High Commissioners and their
consultation of the Foreign Office in London
that they were unprepared with instructions
which would authorize the acceptance of an
arbitration based on so searching and com
plete an exposition of principles. But when
fairly considered, the arrangement finally
made appears only the logical and necessary
result of the new statutory law ef England,
adopted under the pressure of the discussion
awakened by these Alabama claims. To fix
the vague and conflicting notions of neutral
duty entertained in legal and parliamentary
circles into a definite and positive form of
treaty stipulation between England and
another ereat maritime power, to which the
adherence of other nations might be invited,
was justly deemed an obieot of such
moment that its attainment was thought
to be reasonably reached by some
considerable concession. The retroaotive
extension of these principles always con
tended for by us and recently adopted by
England to the consideration of the Ala
bama claims, places the two nations on
identical ground in relation to these impor
taut questions of international law and prac
tice. It is a consummation in which both
countries find their advantage. It is a tri
nmph of American principles and American
diplomacy; and while England yields the in
defensible position she has formerly held in
this especial controversy, she gains substan
tially in guarantees of future peace and secu
rity, and in fixing a precedent in international
morality which will be a benefit to civiliza
tion.
The probability is that the point where
most is to be apprehended from the virulence
of party spirit is not in Washington or in
London, but among our neighbors on this
continent. The full text of the treaty has
Deen copied trom tne xrioune into all the
journals of the Dominion and the Provinces,
and has given rise to a wide and heated dis
cussion. We have already given some details
of the line of argument adopted in the attaok
as well as the defense of the treaty by the
Canadian and New Brunswick papers. A more
significant demonstration is that of the legis
lative body of the latter province, which has
adopted by a unanimous vote in both branches
a refolution condemning those clauses of
the treaty which affect the Dominion
and provincial interests. It is a curious
commentary on the statement of the
Nova BootianB tnat they are ruined by the
concessions made to American fishermen, to
find our Massacnusetis mackerel-tlshera insk.
iner the same complaint ef impending destruc
tion from the compensating franchises granted
to the products of the Canadian fisheries. It
is likely that the panic in both cases u prema
ture. Neither branch of the High Commission
was lacking either in special tUta or ia solici
tude for the interests oi tneir countrymen.
We claimed that the privileges granted by us
were equal to those we received, but agreed
to refer this question to impartial arbitration,
and to pay the difference, if found against
ns. It is difficult to see what reasonable
exceptions can be taken to this arrange
ment. A fact which greatly diminished
the foroe of the objections made to
the treaty in the Dominion is that they
proceed aiiuofai exclusively trom me oppo
sition press. It is true that tike defense ia
rather more languid than the attack a phe
nomenon often seen in free countries but
the apprehensions of the opposition that
their assaults will be unavailing are clearly
betrayed by the confession of the Quebec
Gazette, "that the Canadian Parliament will
fully ratify this treaty, unfavorable and bur
densome as it may be to us. So long as Sir
George Cartier is Minister he will always
have under bis hand a flock of Conservative
moutons who will always vote with him, let
the measure be what it may." When the
Senate and the Queen have ratified the treaty,
it is not probable that the utmost rage of
partisanship will induce the Provincial Par
liaments to nullify the solemn compaot by
refusing the necessary legislation to carry it
nto effect.
A FINAL WARNING.
From the A. F. World.
If a well-to-do landholder of New Jersey,
bis farm in good order and well stocked, were
to take it into his head, wearied of owner
ship, to sell out or lease his land in perpetu
ity, he would be very apt to look into the
solvency of the proposed purchaser or lessee,
and the prospect of securing his purchase
money or the rent. If the farm were mort
gaged the creditor would most probably bestir
himself, and know, or try to know, what pros
pect there was for the sure payment of the
interest. If this purchaser were found to be
a rash, harumscarnm speculator, who at the
very moment was resorting to all manner of
contrivances to raise money to meet
current demands, we imagine that
the old-fashioned proprietor would
pause, or if he did not,
we are very sure his friends would put him in
the lunatio asylum. Yet this, on a grand
scale, is now going on in a neighboring State.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is absolutely mas
ter of the internal position. At the very mo
ment when it is buying up, regardless of out
lay, railroads everywhere, assuming their
debts, guaranteeing their dividends, it is
issuing new stock and borrowing more money
in order to pay the interest on its own bonds
and keep its stock from depreciating in the
markets of the world. "The more I see and
learn of it," writes an honest Pennsylvania
capitalist, one of the few unseduoed and un
teirified, "the more am I satisfied there never
has been in this or any other country a more
dangerous, a less trustworthy corporation
one more surely verging on ruin. Yet this
is the corporation into whose custody New
Jersey and her accredited companies are
about to surrender themselves, and hardly a
word of remonstrance is uttered.
No one can measure its enormous, almost
insane, exorbitancies. Let us speaking to
our misguided neighbors across the river, to
the bond and stockholders here, to the
holders of the securities abroad give a spe
cific illustration of what we mean, and we
beg for it earnest attention. The Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company buys up or leases,
which is the same thing, railroads without
stint, assuming their debts, and guaranteeing
their dividends all over creation. In their
own language, they never "yield to timid
counsels. Audace et toujours audace is their
corporate motto. But with all this intrepidity
they are not without a dash of that quality
which, according to its object and its means,
is wisdom or cunning. In their last annual
report this passage occurs, which, in warn
ing to our New Jersey friends, we repro
duce: "With a view to give greater simplicity and effici
ency to the management of this I a rite Interest, and
as far as practicable return to our former policy, a
charter waa obtained Irani the Commonwealth ol
Pennsylvania Incorporating the 'Pennsylvania Com
pany,' to which all the Interests above-mentioned of
tne rennsyivania nniiruan tompanj wm m irsus.
ferred on the first or March next, and $8,000,000 of
the preferred capital stock of the Pennsylvania
Company received therefor, which amount covers
fully all of our expenditures In this connection."
The "Pennsylvania Company is to be the
depositary of these new investments, and the
railroad company, having shifted its respon
sibility to this new creation, is oalmly and
peacefully te relapse to its "former policy"
of fostering local interests and doing what it
alone was incorporated for. And what is this
new "Pennsylvania Company ?" It requires
industry to find it out, for it is hidden far
away in the labyrinth or Pennsylvania stat
utes. It is a company incorporated in 1870
with half a dozen picked corporators, a nom
inal capital of $100,00020 per cent, of
which, or $20,000. is to be paid in. As to. its
privileges, it is difficult te describe what
is so vast and limitless. it literally
defies description, and it, we repeat, is to be
the intermediate agency by whioh all the
affiliated enterprises are to be manipulated.
Doubtless, after a time, when the poor, se
duced corporations shall nave been sufficiently
drugged, they will nnd tneir 10 per cent.

transierrea to mis my in, anu meir securities
dickered like the unlucky Pennsylvania Sink
ing Fund. The design of this "Pennsylvania
Company is to create a credit based on
nothing, and the railroad company is to be
furnished with certificates of all Borts of
stocks, to be guaranteed if necessary, whioh
will hereafter, under all sorts of delusive
puffs, be sold to unsuspecting parties in Eu
rope and elsewnere.
Into the maw of this giant, deliberately,
and with their eyes open, are marching the
innocent corporations of New Jersey, the
State authorities assenting, the press lulled
by the narcotism which the wizard not
Michael, but Thomas A. so well Knows now
to use. and the trustees, of the mortgage
loans, who in the management of their pri
vate concerns would commit no sucn loiiy,
acquiescing. This is doing, and the only
word of warning comes from a distanoe. The
grasp of corporate monopoly clutcnes every.
- . ...
thing. The city of Philadelphia, with a debt
larger than was that of Pennsylvania wnen it
failed to pay her interest, holds millions, five
we believe, of this imperilled Btook, wnica
for fear of offense she dare not sell, and whioh
one would think gives her a right to speak, at
least in caution. Yet not a word. Her press
is dnmb. Trenton is no better off, and New
Jersey is to beoome what Delaware onoe
was, or indeed worse man ueiaware ever
was, an appendage to a Pennsylvania corpo
ration.
WHY IMMIGRATION HALTS.
from very Saturday.
Thirty or forty prominent citizens of
Georgia have lately issued an address, invit
ing immigrants to settle in tnat tstate. Home
weeks ago a number of Southern railroad
gentlemen gathered in Philadelphia, and
while there took pains to urge that an abun
aance oi land in their section was waiting
settlement. We occasionally see in some of
the New York city papers the long ciroular of
a great transportation company, setting forth
the manifold advantages of soil and climate
and the splendid opportunities for invest
ruent iu the South, 't hese letters and cirou
1 a i a . .
tara anu sua reuses are hopeful sign of a
coming day, and to a certain extent are indi
rations that the South begins to understand
its needs and the ends to which it huouIJ
labor. But against all this, wherein there W
promise, must be set a thousand facta show
ing that rf)e lower half of the Uhisn-oaenot
yet reasonably expeot .any great immediate
influx of settlers. t
The utmost plausibility of arguraonl and
statement will not induce men and women
to undertake the making of homes in sec
tion where property and life itself are in
constant danger. We shall doubtless be
told that this is no answer to the cry of the
South for immigration. But it is a very con
clusive answer nevertheless. Life and pro
perty are not safe down there exoept oa con
ditions to whioh few settlers will assent.
Every citizen of value to any community is
a thinking man, with opinions that he doe
not choose to bide or suppress. Each day's
record of Southern aotion is proof that per
sons holding views different from those of
the resident white majority are not wanted
and will net be tolerated. The society and
newspapers of the South practioally say this
to those who contemplate settlementi We
are glad to have you come here, but yea must
not set up as reformers, must not attempt to
interfere with our affairs, must not preaoh or
advocate your Northern notions. If the new
settler fails to heed this counsel and com
mand he speedily disappears from the earth
or is foroed to leave the Southern conntry.
We do not speak of particular looalilies,
onr view is of the South generally;, and we
repeat that there property and life are not
Becure to anything near such a degree as they
are in the North and West.
Even if this state of things were remedied,
there is still a further reason why tho South
fails to get the immigration it needs and for
which it is adapted. The Northerner and
the intelligent foreigner are persons who
radically believe in education and the com
mon school system as a means thereto. If
they look out for themselves on the one
hand, on the other they sharply look out for
their sons nnd daughters. The South as a
community knows little of common schools,
and, what is far worse and most deplorable,
as yet shows little disposition to establish
and sustain them. Tennessee has already
overthrown the school system set up at the
close of the war; North Carolina gives but
two hundred thousand dollars the present
year for the education of nearly three hun
dred and fifty thousand children; South
Carolina is niggardly as to her school taxes,
and payment of these is resisted in some
quarters of the State; in Georgia progress is
reported, but at many points the publio school
system encounters coldness or opposition; in
Alabama the law of two or three years ago
meets with such inertia or hostility that its
results are hardly worth mentioning; in Mis
sissippi it is asserted by the Governor that a
considerable proportion of the existing trouble
comes from efforts to collect the school tx;
while Texas, six years after the close of the
war, is yet without a common-school system
in operation. We wish it were possible to
make a better showing on thia head; in the
facts as they are is a prime cause why immi
gration moves but slowly to the southward.
We do not doubt that there are commnoi-
ties in each Southern State wherein life and
property are entirely safe, and where good
educational privileges are open for enjoy
ment. These are the exceptions, whilo-the
general rule is otherwise. Men content to
be mere workers, machines for the produc
tion of wealth, can probably settle anywhere
and be secure in their homes and possessions.
But the average Yankee or continental emi
grant will not be a mere grubber. Eg- knows
Borne things, and i eager to know a deal
more; wherever he goes it is inevitable that
he will beoome a part of the community; he
is a teaaher, a reformer, a progressive, in the
very grain of his being. He, and: riot your
mere digger of the soil, your mere swinger of
the axa, is the man who build States and sets
them aglow with the blood of healthy and
vigorsus life. And, however deplorable the
fact, this man the Sooth does not yet welcome
to her borders.
THE REGISTRY LAW.
i-Vesi the Harrutburg Patriot.
Yesterday morning Senator Dechert called
up the amendments to the Registry law so far
as it relates to the city of Philadelphia. They
were passed with the opposition of every Re
publican member of the Senate, and now go
to the House for concurrence. The unani
mous opposition of the Republican Senators
caused some surprise, as two or three of them
had expressed themselves strongly in regardto
the injustice of the present law. But the
radical ring, who hope to carry the elections
by fraud in Philadelphia, have too, deep
an interest in the question, and
they found means to silence, the
consciences of Senators. Senator
White had the hardihood to defend the pre
sent law, and with disgusting cant called it a
"benenoent measure, liunn and tne rest ox
the ballot-box stuff era and repeaters of Phila
delphia will thank him for this word to sanc
tify one of the greatest wrongs ever com
mitted in the Legislature. But what better
conld emanate from the source whence pro
ceeded that fraudulent list of Indiana county
taxables? It would be strange enoagh if an
unjust election law which was enacted for
the purpose of facilitating fraud would not
find a ready apologist in that quarter.
The entire people of the State are familiar
with the villainous nature of the law which
was passed for Philadelphia in 18(i'.) to enable
William B. Mann to count bimseir into tne
office of District Attorney, and no plea of
party neoessity can reoonoile honest Republi
cans to its continuance. That law gave the
appointment of all election officers in Phila
delphia to the radioal aldermen. It virtually
withdrew all protection from the ballot-box.
Under cover of the law repeaters have been
organized into a guild in Philadelphia, secure
from detection and punishment. There are
none to watch the ballot-box stuffer when
plying his trade. To this enactment Bunn,
the perjurer and peculator, owes his election
to the office of Register of Wills
of Philadelphia. Sheriff Leeds and his gang
thank itsjniquitous provisions for their own
success. 'William B. Mann, its unscrupu
lous author, needs it to maintain his evil
power, and secure the possession of the offioo
of District Attorney. The Quay-Mackey ring
have no hope of maintaining control of the
treasury except through the opportunity for
the commission of fraud whioh it affords. It
is this law which holds the honest Republi
cans of Philadelphia at the meroy of Mann,
Leeds, and Bunn, and their gangs of repeat
ers and ruffians. Such are the considerations
which render the law odious to every honor
able n.an in the Commonwealth, but peouli
rrly acceptable to all those who seek to
defraud the people of their rights.
The amendments ol Colonel Dechert
merely seek to protect the ballot-box from
corrupt manipulation. One amendment pro
vides simply that the Democratic inspectors
of elections shall be appointed by the Demo
cratic aldermen, and not by the radioal alder
men. The object of the present law is that
the radioal aldermen ehall select nominal
Democrats who are actually in the ssrvioe of
the ring, and ready to connive at its fraudu
lent operations. It deprives th ballot-box
of all protection, and prevents the detection
of all who tamper with tho returns. William
B. Mann framed lit pine himself and his
ring beyond the reaeb ef the people. The
amendments will give theottizen of Jliiiadel
phia some security that his vote will be
counted in favor- of the candidate- of his
choice The present' law deprives him of
that assurance.
Vhat a howl of virtuous indignatio would
ring throughout the State next winter if the
Democrats in possession of the Legislature
should turn the tables, and enact that the
Democratic aldermen shall select the Repub
lican inspectors ia-Philadelphia! Then would
Senator White be- heard in one of his oanting
Carmagnoles appealing for the preservation
of the- purity of' the ballot-box as the
palladium of our- liberties, and rolling
bis eyes to heaven while protesting
against the- abominable wickedness
of the Copperheads. There is
no danger that the Democrats, when they
obtain control of the Legislature, will seek to
profit by the instructions of their opponents.
They have too just an appreciation of the
rights and liberties whioh are secured by the
ballot-box to seek to destroy its purity by
such a law. It is not in the interest of party
but in the spirit- of justice and equity that
they demand the passage of this amendment.
None resist it except those who expect to
make partisan prout out of the perpetration
of fraud.
The ether amendment passed by the Senate
and-Tesisted by tho- Republican members of
that body provides that the board of return
judges in Philadelphia shall meet in the pre
sence of the Court of Common Pleas. Al
who are familiar with the histery of elections
in-Philadelphia, appreciate the necessity of
this provision, ftl ore than once the board cf
return judges, ia defiance of the duly certified
returns, have counted out the elected candi
dates. This was the- fate of a Democratic
candidate for- judge last Ootober. The
meetings of those boards have been frequently
attended by scenea-of violence and murder.
No stronger argument in favor of this amead-
ment can be found than in the murder in the
room of the return judges, which shocked
the country last October. Do the opponents
of this salutary amendment desire the reran
tion of scenes which, have deeply disgraced
the political annals of Philadelphia, and
brought the ballot-bos into contempt? This
amendment seeks to. bring the board. of
'return judses under the supervision of
the court when counting out the re
turns. lue ballot-box will thus ba pro
tected, and respocS for the courts- will
restrain tho mob from violent demonstrations
during the sessions. These amendments have
the hearty support of the independent press
of Philadelphia. They are in themselves just
and wise provisions against election . frauds
Nothing but a dishonest and unworthy spirit
of party will thwart their passage. If the
Legislature shall refuse to listen to the voice
of justioe, the people of Philadelphia must
devise some measures to rescue the ballot-box
from the gangs- of repeaters who two led by
Mann cad Bunn.
WHAT IS THE USE OF A DEHOCRATIC
PARTY ?
From tint A. Y. Tknea.
John Quincy Adams, the ornamental candi
date of the Massachusetts Democracy for
Governor, anil C. L. Yallandigham, the leader
of tie Ohio Democracy, have both been try
ing their hands at constructing a new plat
form for the Democratic party of the country.
the first in a letter to a fellow-Democrat in
Missouri, and the last in a series of resolu
tions submitted to an Ohio convention. It is
worthy of note that both these shining lights
of the new Democratic f aiih arrive ai sub
stantially the same conclusions, and erect
substantially the same platform; but the most
striking thing about it is that their new
platform amounts to a victual surrender of
the Democrat io party into the hands of the
Republicans. In erectiag such a platform,
these Democratic architects have evidently
"builded better than they knew," and, if it is
to be adopted, their pasty might aa well dis
perse into thin air. Listen to Mr. Adams:
''The Constitution was struck down by tho assault
upon Sumter, as all constitutions must necessarily
fall before the face of tae supreme a2bltrament of
war. It can never be lifted up while war la flagrant.
The people will never tsstgu the attitude of hostile
vigilance, which is the real significance of the pre
sent administration, uniitl they know that no one of
their war trophies is longer disputed. Then they
will gladly resume tha habits which they love and
the good nature which they repress. What, then,
is the meaning of the grotesque contortions of these
who profess a fondness for camels and yet strain so
fantastically at this gnat? For the esseaceof all
Democracy is equal'jy nothing but the equality of
all men before the law. Equal and exact justice to
every man, and eaeh to share in the goverument of
all. That Is the only genuine Democratic doctrine.
But who dares face an Intelligent people with that
testimony npon his lip, amienounce a measure
which Is too democratic for Democrats only because
the enfranchised are black?"
Surely no Republican need ask for sounder
doctrine than that. Both Vallandighaoi and
Adams lay down, as , the first plank in their
new platf ojrm, that the Democratic party shall
"accept the situation," and abide in good
faith by the results of the war all the amend
ments to the Constitution included. This is
all that the Republicans ask, and, when this
is done, there will be really no important
points of difference between the two parties,
so far as principles or measures are con
cerned. Almost the only ground of at
tack which the Demooratio party has to-
day against
cf measures
their opponents arises oat
that have been rendered ne
the refusal of that pirty
C66B8IV bv
to accept, in good faith, the issues settled by
the war. As Mr. Adams truly says: "The
people (not the Republican party) will never
resign the attitude of hostile vigilance, which
is the real significance of the present admin
istration, until they know that no one of their
war trophies is longer disputed." Whea
the Democratic party shall oonviuce the
people that it has no longer any design to
dispute these trophies, the people may con
sent to accept the new platform though it
is exceedingly doubtful whether they will
deem it necessary to drop the name of Re
publicans, and assume that of Democrats,
merely to accommodate these eleventh-hour
conveits.
