CAVALCADING CHRISTIANS.
From the jr. r. World.
Our Washington correspondents inform us
that a great sensation has been created in
that city daring the past week by the appear
ance in its ntreets and avenues of an indefi
nite nnmber of young Christiana. These
young Christians hare entertained the capital
with processions, Bongs, and hymns, and one
is left a little in doubt whether the extreme
excitement caused by their presenoe and their
performances is to be attributed to their ma
Bical gifts, to their good looks, to their excel
lent drill in marching, or merely to the faot
of their being Christians. When we consider
the average tone of Washington morals and
religion, it will seem to be reasonable enough
that the spectacle of a procession of young
Christians should appear to that city a more
novel and amazing show even than Mr. Bar
lingame with bis heathen Chinee, or the un
believing "Japs," or the idolatrous Indians
from our far Western frontier.
' Why young Christians, however, should feel
themselves called upon, not in their capacity
as citizens, but in their quality of young
Christians, to march in military procession
through the streets of the Federal capital
singing the "Star-Spangled Banner," is really,
when one conies to refleot upon it, much more
of a puzzle than why the people of Washing
ton should leave their homes and hearths and
run into the Btreets to look at them. The
only reference which we can at this moment
recall from the Christian Scriptures to any
connection between Christian believers and
the streets of a city is an injunction laid upon
His disciples by the founder of Christianity
that whenever they desired to pray they
should take particular care to avoid following
the example of the Pharisees, who had a
way of Baying their prayers standing "at the
corners of the streets that they might be
seen of men." . This injunction, if it was
cot disobeyed to the letter by the young
Christians at Washington, oertainly was not
kept by them in the spirit. They ean hardly
have imagined, when they marshalled their
array in Pennsylvania avenue and set forth
with shouts and lights for the White House
like a political delegation, or a target com
pany, or a "gTand army of the repablio,"
that they were likely to pass unnoted of men;
and it is just possible that when they lifted
np their voices in "psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs" under the Presidential roof
they were not wholly exalted out of all con
sciousness that mortal ears, and those of high
degree, were listening to their well-modulated
strains. All this would be harmless enough
in its absurdity if theBe "Christian yoang
men" professed to regard their Chris
tianity as Freemasons regard their
Freemasonry, or "Knights Templar"
their knighthood, as a special mystery
and bond, that is, of their own by virtue of
which they became a brotherhood apart from
other uninitiated men, and are called npon
by virtue of that brotherhood from time to
dine and "processionize" and make excur
sions together. In that case, however muoh
they might bore the population by singing in
the streets at untimely hours, or turning the
tide of travel out of the highways into shoals
and eddies, no permanent soandal would fol
low ' the temDorarr- aonoraBot. Bat - we
understand Christianity to be the
general religion of the land,
and those vouns men to have associated
themselves together for the purpose of set
tins forth the peouliar merits and innuenoes
of Christianity in an exemplary and superior
manner. This they certainly are not in a way
to achieve by imitating the suspioiously vain
glorious and self-conscious fashions of merely
worldly brotherhoods, by seeking notoriety in
the hichwav and by subjecting the President
of the United States to an hour or two of
hand-shakine to the tune of very slow musio,
with General Howard standing by as chief
executioner.
The Scripture, it is true, enjoins Christians
to "render unto Caesar the things that are
Csesar's." But the Constitution nowhere pro
vides that the President shall have his hand
shaken in his own house by a thousand exour-
Bionists, nor yet that he shall be entitled to
. demand hymns and psalms as tribute from all
Christian young men who chance to pass
throueh Washington. If these religious ex.
ercises were devotional they should have
been rendered not undor Caesar bat unto
God. If they were not. devotional it would
not be civil for us to say precisely what they
were.
AFTElt THE COMMUNE, WHAT?
From tke jy. F. Tribune.
The despatches which we publish announce
the entire defeat of the rans insurgents. M
Thiers and his troops are in possession of so
much of the city as still remains, and if aay
' straggles . continue they are the hopeless
efforts of a few hundred Communists barri
caded in a corner, to whom despair has lent a
' hideous sort of courage. There can be no
doubt that the Commune, as a military or
political force, has ceased to exist. Possibly
it is too soon to sum up its reoord or write its
epitaph, but it is difficult to believe that the
remotest age will remember it without a shud
der, or the most impartial historian modify
the nassionato condemnation which all the
world has alreadv pronounced on its acts.
. Mr. Frederio Harrison, in the ForU
nightly lievieio, is, we believe, the
onlv known writer who has found an
explanation for the Commune, or discovered
any method in its madness. Bat the dreadful
work of the last week destroys the only value
which might have belonged to the passionate
rhapsody of the Positivist speculator. The
better the idea out of whioh the Commune
sprang, the worse for the world. An idea
hat has found expositors like Pyat and
Kigault, and that enlisted Dombrowaki and
Cluseret in its defense, has little chance of
being accepted hereafter by honest men.
Paris had a right to municipal self-govern
ment, no aouoi, dui tne only possible apo
logy for the imperial oppression against
which the great city protested, has been bud
plied by the madmen who made her the otter
of liberty. The social questions whioh the
Commune sought to raise have been pressing
for a settlement for years past. They never
bad so good a chance for fair consideration a
within the past twelvemonth. It is probable
that the Commune has postponed them for
half a century. Sooial reorganizations have
come before now through convulsions and
great agonies, but they come in spite of dU
orders, and not by blp of them. The Sap.
tember massacres made republicanism impos
sible in France. The barbarities of the Com
mune have undone the work of a score of
reformers, and closed the ear of Europe t
every demand for social readjustments If
the overthrow of the Yendome column was
meant as a protest against the military spirit,
Jn behalf of what new doctrine o f good-will
d the charred ruins of Paris plead ?
Hat the death of the Coironne Li only tne
beginning of the end. M.Thiers w master
of faria to-day, and being nraster, his diffi
culties are still all before him. The Ver
sailles Government has never been popular
even with the Parisians to whm th e Com
mune was most odious. Before- it quitted
Bordeautyit had contrived to outrage the
sensibilities of the vainest population in the
world. Every sbOplteeper on the Boulevards
felt himself humiliated at being; gqveraed
from a provincial city, ard the vote of the
Assembly to adjourn to Versailles instead of
1'aris was resented as a wanton anront. a or
all this M. Thiers wb held responsible. ITe
had not been thoroughly popular in Paris
even when Paris chose him as one of
her deputies in the Corps Legislatif. It
was' not Thiers whom tiey loved, so much
as XSapoieon wnom tney nated, and in
the same way it was the fierce hostility of
Paris to the rulers Mho surrendered the
city to the Prussians that led them to wel
come any successors. When the Executive
whom the Bordeaux Assembly had chosen
had established itself in the capital, Paris all
at once found itself divided into two hostile
camps. Paris in rags sat scowling from the
Buttes Montmartre, while Paris in broad
cloth implored M. Thiers either to govern or
give way to somebody who would. ITe did
neither. The insurgents might have been
dispersed without difficulty during the first
week or fortnight. Iney might nave been
beaten even after a month's delay, had' M.
Thiers known how to attach his own troops
to him, or had Yinoy shown ordinary skill in
planning his movement. The doable failure
drove the Thiers government to Ver
sailles, followed by the hisses of the
city be could not rule. Then came
that long period of inaction and that
weary show of incapacity and fear, while t'-ie
insurrection crew daily stronger, while the
Commune organized itself and intrenched the
city, and throughout which the contempt of
the Parisians for M. Thiers daikened day by
day into hate. His bombardment of the city
followed, and Paris saw with indignation her
lawful rulers battering down what her ene
mies had spared. From the day when the
shells began falling about the Aro de Tri-
amphe, the anger against M. Thiers was as
strong among his old partisans as among his
old opponents. What must it be to-day, when
the city lies in ruins solely because the chief
who ought to have saved her was unequal to
the worn?
That is the immediate difficulty of the
situation. It is not possible to believe
that M. Thiers can long continue at the
head of this Government. It is equally
difficult to name a successor under whom
the Government could be carried on in its
present shape.
If we are to regard the existing Uovern-
ment as permanent in form, we shall look
about in vain for an exeoutive whose claims
to popular confidence could inspire any hope
of success. To put a weak man or an un
known man in M. Thiers' place is to encour
ages the intrigues of Orleanists, of Bourbons,
and of Imperialists alike. There are no
means of forming an opinion on the proba
ble chances of either, nor is it certain that
society may not find a savior who should
prove neither an imbecile nor a tyrant. Bat
he must be a sanguine man indeed who can
discover in the circumstances of to-day muoh
ground for believing that the repablio is
likely to prove stronger than all its opponents
together.
THE . LATEST COAL MINE HOBJJOIJ..
from th A', r. Herald.
On Saturday last Pittston, Pa., was the
scene of a calamity similar to that whioh
visited Avondale in the autumn of 1869. The
shaft of one of the mines took fire, and as it
was the only means of ingress and egres all
the workmen in the mine were completely
shut out from escape. Fortunately the num
ber of men thus trapped was not as great as
at Avondale, where one hundred human
beings fell victims to the carelessness, inhu
mamty, or, what is most likely, avanee of
the mining companies. At Pittston only
thirty-6even men were entombed, of whom
eighteen were taken out dead and the others
alive, though insensible. It is feared that
the recovery of several of the latter is im
possible. . ,
One would have thought that after the ter
rible catastrophe at Avondale precautions
would have been taken at onoe against its
occurrence in other mines. The faot that
the number of victims in the Pittston mine is
only eighteen does not make their fate less
horrible to contemplate. Two years ago we
called the attention of the mining companies
to the necessity of providing all their mines
with more than one shaft, so that the work
men would be not only secured against death
from sudden and unforeseen ooourrenoea, but
that they would, be all provided with a strong,
health-preserving current of pure air, so
-much needed in all mines. It is evident from
the tragedy at Pittston that there has not been
any improvement in this direction.
The mine in which tne thirty-seven man
were immured has but a single shaft; that
shaft took fire, and instantly every soul in
the depths below was as muoh cut off from
escape as are any of the souls we read of in
Dante s "inierno. Mot long ago the same
shaft caught fire, and, says the report, "has
not been considered entirely safe in its work
ing-gear tor some time. Nevertheless, on
Thursday last, a mine inspector investigated
its condition "and reported everything satis
factory. But, as events have proven, every
thing was not satisfactory. In the first plaoe,
tnere was danger of tne shaft taking fire, and,
in the next, the company was deliberately
violating the law, which forbids the em
ployment, at one time, of more than
twenty men in a mine which has but one
means of retreat. Furthermore, there was
next to nothing at hand to extinguish a fire
in the event of one occurring. When the
shaft at Pittston was in flames on Saturday a
miserable weu was the only source from
which water could be rapidly obtained, and
as its supply was insufficient recourse was had
to the river, half a mile distant. In short,
every fact aeveiopeajoy thetragedy strength
ens the evidence of the criminal negligenoe
of the company in the matter of providing
against nres.
A witty Englishman has observed that for
a people who make it a constant boast that
they possess more freedom than any other
nation on earth, Americans suomit to an
amount of tyranny from oorporate bodies that
would provoke a revolution in Europe. The
truth of this assertion is to be seen in this
latest coal mine horror. So far as we are
aware the Avondale tragedy had not the Blight
est effect npon the corperations which own
the Pennsylvania mines. Although the ex
penBe of constructing additional air passages
and means of escape from death is oompara
tivtly trifling, nothing seems to have been
done. Our correspondent in Pittston reports
the excitement as intense at that plaoe, and
well it may be. The sudden stifling to death
of eighteen husbands and fathers is a
cat&birophe horrible enough to excite
one, I'urliculttrly where the tragedy could
and should have been prevented by the
simplest and least expensive of precautions.
It is not long since the monopolists who own
the mines crushed all resistance out of the
miners and compelled them to return to work
on their own terms. During the long and
weary strike, of which a surrender was the
result, the companies appealed to the publio
for support, alleging that their expenses for
bade their paying the wages demanded. If
these expenses inolude life-saving appliances,
we should like to know what amount was ex
pended for the purpose. It is the duty of
every corporation to adopt all reasonable pre
cautions for saving the lives of its employes.
In the Pittaton mine there was no precaution
whatever taken. The shafts of all mines are
liable to take fire at any moment; it is impos
sible perhaps to guard against accidents of
this kind; but where a mine has more than
one shaft the chance of the community
being horrified by the wholesale choking to
death of workmen becomes so infinitesimally
small that it can scarcely be said to exist
at all.
It is, perhaps, to much to hope- that the
Pittston tragedy, following within two years
alter that at Avoniale, will bring the coal
companies to a proper sense of the duty they
owe to the miner, But we trust it will in
fluence the Pennsylvania Legislatnrto enact
a law compelling the- monopolists t provide
additional shafts to- every mine whioh at
prosent has only one,, and forbidding under
heavy penalty the working of any mine as
dangerous to human life as that at Pittston.
A law of this kind is necessary to- prevent
the recurrence of just such horrors t the one
re parted.
THE TREATY WITH AMEF.ICA.
From the' Lvndon SatxtrtUty Review.
The President of tbe United States, having
previously summoned an extraordinary ses
sion i ar tne purpose 01 considering; tne con
clusions of the Joint Commission, is now able
to submit to tbe Senate the treaty which has
been concluded. It proves to be an absolute
surrender of every, point for whioh successive
iiihgush trovernments have contended. It
commsnoes with the- humble apology whioh
was demanded in vain by Mr. Sumner and
Mr. Fish; and the English commissioners, a
if for the expreos- purpose of humiliating
their oountry, have committed the blunder of
declaring that the law which they recognize f ov
the purpose of compensation was not in force
when fhe supposed'. liability was incurred. A,
penalty inflicted for the breach- of a legal
obligation would have been comparatively.
endurable. .The exense for their iaoons:-
tency is founded: on the professed desire of'
the English Government to cultivate friendly,
relations with tke United States. A thinner
veil could not have been woven to disguise
the true motive of unqualified) submission.
It is not easy to- understand the imminence
of the danger whioh seems to have frightened'
the commissioners. At the worst the Ameri
can Government could only have threatened
a lawless invasion of Canada; and it inot
likely that so eoarse a menace was used
to accelerate the negotiation. If
any patriotic American desire fully to appre
ciate the triumph of bis country, he hae only
to contrast the treaty with the despatches of
Lord Russell and Lord Clarandon, and above
all with Mr. Bernard's excellent treatise,
which from this time is obsolete. It is not
surprising either that Mr.. Sumner expresses
general satisfaction with the treaty, or that
he thinks it practicable to. inflict on England
tbe additional atlront of making the arbitra
tion exclusively one-sided. Perhaps the
more generous section of his countrymen
-will be sntlsned witb th ample revenge wtalcb
they have secured for all real and imaginary
onenses.
As the removal of Mr. Sumner from the
office of Chairman of Foreign Relations proves
that tbe President is. supported by a majority
in the Senate, there is every reason to believe
that the convention will be ratified. Circum
stances have changed sinoe the vexatious re
jection of Mr. lleverdy Johnson's treaty. In
18G9, when Air. iSoward shared tbe profound
unpopularity of Mr. Andrew Johnson, chronic
ill-will to England was stimulated by unwill
ingness to allow the outgoing administration
the credit of enecting a settlement of the dis-
Eute. General Grant and Mr. Hamilton Fish
ave on moro than one occasion displayed
an exacting and unfriendly spirit in deal
ing with the Alabama controversy; but their
late proceedings seem to prove that they have
the good sense to prefer a substantial victory .
to any political advantage which they might se
cure by keeping the quarrel open. As the Eng
lish Commissioners consented to surrender the
main point in dispute, the President's Govern
ment can scarcely be blamed for adopting
their decision. In the arrangement of a com-
iromise or of a submission, the party who is
ess eager for an adjustment enjoys an
undoubted superiority. In the United States
the possibility of a rupture with . England
involved a mere disturbance of commercial
credit; and in popular estimation . the incon
venience was overbalanced by the hope that
war might result in territorial aggrandize
ment. Englishmen, on the other hand, have
cultivated for many years a genuine love of
peace whioh is neither shared nor understood
by any other civilized community; nor could
it be forgotten that a struggle in Canada
would be oonduoted under the most un
favorable conditions. There was nothing
to gain and much to lose in a conflict with the
United States; and the hostile feeling
which so largely affects American poli
tics has never been reciprocated in Eng
land. The great majority of the people,
having neither leisure nor inclination for the
study of questions of international law, have
probably received a vague impression that
the persistent complaints of Amerioan speak
ers and writers must have had more or
less foundation; and the present Govern
ment is not especially susceptible on delicate
points of honor. Mr. Gladstone has, sinoe
the final overthrow of the Southern Confed
eracy, felt and expressed the deepest remorse
for the sympathy with which he regarded
their heroio efforts when they seemed likely
to win. Lord Stanley and Lord Clarendon
have, by their large concessions to the exi
gency of Mr. Seward and Mr. Reverdy John
son, prepared general opinion for the ulti
mate prevalence of the Amerioan demands.
The additional quarrel with respect to the
fisheries, which has reoently been fastened
on England and Canada, unexpectedly gave
an opening for fresh negotiations in the mat
ter of the Alabama. To Sir Edward Thorn
ton's proposal of a commission on the fishery
question, the Secretary of State replied by a
suggestion that the same machinery should
be used to prepare the way for
a settlement of the still more
serious dispute. . When England was a self
asserting and perhaps a pugnacious power,
the overture would not have been readily ao
oepted. It was known from Mr. Fish's noto
rious despatch to Lord Clarendon, and from
the President's last message to Congress, that
the American demands had extended even be
yond the limits which were defined by Mr,
Sumner; but the Ministers probably only
wuhed to find a deoent exouse for giving way,
and a cominibsion might be supposed to giro
a kfa j of judicial color to- prefoterruined
snrreader. Like the conference of . three
months ago, the commissioners met without
ary foregone conclusion, but with a result
which might be easily foreseen, as it was in
volved in the terms of their appointment.
There could be no objection to their concur
rence in a prospective , alteration of
international law. Times . and circum
stances have changed; and . it . may
perhaps be expedient to impose on neutrals a
further restriction in their dealings with bel
ligerents. Many politicians hold that tbe pro
hibition of the equipment of vessels which
may afterwards be armed as cruisers would
be highly valuable if England were a-principal
in a maritime war. It is agreed on all
bands that, according, to the existing law, an
armed vessel fit for service cannot be law
fully allowed to issue from a neutral port;
and throughout the Alabama controversy the
English Government admitted, perhaps with
an excess of candor, that on sufficient evi
dence the ship might have been prevented
from leaving the Mersey. The subsequent
judgment cf the Court of Exchequer threw a
do.ibt on the soundness of the opinions of
Lord Russell's law advisers; but the Americans
may fairly rely in argument on the virtual
acknowledgment of the legitimacy of their
Srotests. In his long correspondence with
In Adams Lord Russell clearly proved- that
aeoordmg to European and Amerioan prece
dents the English Government was not re
sponsible for tbe esoape of the Alabama, but
it was impossible to fall back on a position
which had been abrmdoned by his successors
at the Foreign Office.
The sting of tha convention, apart from
considerations of national honor and self
respect, lies in the retrospective effect which
i given to the new provision of international
law. There is muoh difference of opinion as
to the soundness of the policy embodied in
the Declaration of Paris; and it has been con
tended that the maritime power .of England is
diminished by the rule that free bottoms make
free goods; but it has never been alleged that
the declaration iavolved any compromise of
national dignity.. If the old rule bad been
enforced during the Crimean, war, a demand
that enemy's goods captured. ir neu
tral vessels should be restored
would have been summarily rejected.
The deliberato change of the, law
implied that the - right of capture existed up
to the date of the declaration. It appears
that the commissioners, having agreed on a
certain proposition of law, have further pro
vided that the Alabama question sh&ll - be de
termined in conformity with the new enact
ment. It woald have been a simpler .course
to state that the conduct of the Eorjliah Gov
ernment in the Alabama oase was a. breach
of international law ; bat the English
commissioners may be excused, for
preferring a form of. expression
which partially veils the real character of
their decision. The maohinery which they
have provided for determining the claims is
highly decorous, and even ornamental. IX is
perhaps pi aa nan ter to be fined by a Court of
Kings and Presidents of Republics than. by a
vulgar board of arbitrators. It is not known
whether the Emperor cf Brazil can command
the serviaes of accomplished jurists- among
bis own oubiects; but there can be no doubt
that the Governments-. which have been se
lected to.give dignity to the arrangement will
take care that tbey are respectably repre
sented at Washington. A dunoulty arising
from tiie possible refusal of the llcuse of
Representatives to vote any money whioh
may be required may perhaps, cause, future
complications.
--- Th Maood convention is. nronerlr made
subject to the ratification of the Canadian
Parliament, as weliaa of tho Imperial Gov
ernment; but it may be supposed that Sir
John Macdonald represents the feeling and
opinions of bis fellow colonists. In this case
also the Government of the United States
ha3 succeeded in. its main contention. Ameri
cans are henceforth to be allowed an equal
right in the Canadian fisheries and the in
habitants of the Dominion are on their side
admitted to a share in the fisheries in tho-
.Northeastern States. As the reciprocal privU
leges are confessedly of unequal value, the
American Uovernment is to pay to Canada a
Bum to be determined by arbitration; and. it
may be hoped that the Canadian Parhamenc
will apply the amount in some form to ihe
Denem on tne districts which are
immediately interested in the fisheries.
The dispute . which is - now to. be
settled in favor of the Americans dates. from
the close of the war of 1812- which had) ter
minated the rights of fishing enjoyed before
tbe Revolution and preserved by the txoaty of
1783. In the late negotiations the Americans
have contended that their vested interest in
the fisheries was not a mere matter of oontract.
but rather a property analogous to .territorial
ownership; but it seems clear that a
covenant is merely a covenant. and
and by the treaty of 1818,in!whicb the right of
nt-iiing was conceded as part of an arrange
ment for commercial intercourse, the claim
of a prior right was virtually abandoned. As
the Canadians have borne with the interfer
ence of the American fisherzoen during the
greater part of the interval slaoe the estab
lishment of the republic, there is no
reason to suppose that they will suffer
any intolerable hardship. The main
tenance of the exclusive right to the fisheries
might posBibly have been useful as an equiva
lent to be conceded for some future commer
cial concession; but there can be no doubt
that American legislotion is tending in the
direction of free-trade, and that the former
intercourse will be revived, not as an act of
liberality, but for the obvious benefit of the
i nited States. 'Ibe arrangements for set
tling the San Juan dispute, whioh has been
revived by tbe American Government, are
not yet known. An open arbitration would
be the most satisfactory method of securing.
in one instance at least, the interest and
honor of England.
