PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5, 1572.
In pursuance of the resolution of the Republican State
Central Committee, adopted at Harrisburg.Jantuiry 18th,
1872, a Republican State Convention, composed of dele
gates from each Senatorial and Representative district,in
the number to which such district is entitled in the Leg
islature, will meet in the Hall of the House of Represen
tatives, at Harrisburg, at 12 o'elock, noon, on Wednesday,
the 10th day of April, A. 11.1872, to nominate candidates
for Governor, Judge of the Supreme Court, Auditor Gen
eral (should the Legislature provide for the choice of one
by the people), and an Electoral Ticket; and also to elect
Senatorial and Representative delegates to repret.ent the
State in the Republican National Convention, to be held
at Philadelphia, June 5,1872.

D. F. HOUSTON, /
Erma Limmts,
P. M. lan; J
sm. It is stated that Hon. A. G. Cur
tin, our Minister at St. Petersburg, has
asked, and obtained, leave to come home,
during the Summer. He will be a valua
ble acquisition in the campaign.
ne Printers' Circular, printed by
R. S. Menamen, Esq., of Philadelphia,
came to us as clean as a new pin. It has
just donned a new dress and added otter
improvements. It is a very valuable month
ly to the members of the craft.
Mir Dawes and Garfield repudiate the
charge that they are in sympathy with the
Cincinnati Convention. Not a single
Republican member of the House can be
found to join the movement. Sumner de
nies that he has consented - to become chair
man of the Convention.
ler We learn that Congress only al
lowed Hon. John Cessna, $4,480 expen
ses for conducting a contest to satisfy the
people of his district how badly he was
beaten. With this little "grab" the poor
dear soul ought to be ready to go into an
other contest. The idea of Congress
paying a premium for this kind of thing
is an outrage.
/kir Judge Davis, the labor reform can
didate for President, denies the anthenti
city of the correspondence, extensively
published throughout the country, purport
ing to be a letter sent by the executive
committee of the National labor reform
party to him, and his reply. He says he
never saw the correspondence until he saw
it in print.
rm. The Democrats, in a few of the
western counties, talk of nominating Chief
Justice Thompson for the Supreme Bench.
The Judge was "sound on the goose"
during the war and, therefore, stands fair
with the Democratic party. Wonder
whether the Judge was any relation of old
Jake Thompson, who figured conspicuously
early in the rebellion ? Jake, it will be
remembered, was also "sound on the goose."
um. The Bill allowing the citizens of
counties and cities to vote on the third
Friday, in March, 1873, and every third
year thereafter, on the question of "li
cense" or "uo license" has become a law.
It is a long time until it goes into effect.
In the meantime temperance men, if they
desire to succeed, roust thoroughly organ
ize. Go to work, and for once in your
lives determine to spend a few rusty dimes
for the accomplishment of your object.
le_ The Committee in the McClure-
Gray contested election case, by a vote of
four Democrats to three Republicans, last
week, reported in favor of the admission of
Reform McClure and he was immediately
sworn in. The general impression is that
McClure found a means of converting
Gray, and those whom he relied upon, to
his own purposes. How much money the
whole transaction, from the nomination to
the close of the farce, has cost tho Penn
sylvania railroad we have no means of
knowing, but it has not been a trifle.
When it elects McClure to the United
States Senate it will please let us know.
aiir We notice that Geo. P. Rowell &
Co. advertise, in the Philadelphia Press,
of the 29th of March last, a list of news
papers, in the Middle States, in which ad
vertisements of ten lines will be inserted
at forty-two cents for FOUR inser
tions ! We are pleased to see that
a number of leading country and
city papers have not been duped or
bullied into accepting a mere song for
their space. All the papers in these
States, with very small circulations, are
mixed in with a few that ought to be
ashamed of the company in which they are
placed. This feature is a downright swin
dle upon the advertisers. It is very little,
if any credit, we think, tea newspaper to
be paraded before the public in such a
connection. We would be very sorry, in
deed, to let our home advertisers know
that our space was purchased by Gee. P.
Rowell & Co. or any body else. for
such a trifle.
There has been considerable flurry,
at Harrisburg, within the last ten days or
two weeks, in regard to a proposition to
remove the capital to Philadelphia. The
Harrisburg papers have been furious over
the matter. If it will have the effect of
stirring the stolid old fogies of that mo
notuous old town into action it may work
some good. For the advantages that Har
risburg has it ought to be one of the lar
gest, most flourishing and enterprising
places in the interior, and yet it seems to
us that it is as dead as a stone. In fact
its highest ambition is to do odd jobs, at
big prices, for the state, board and wash
for members of the Legislature and those
who are obliged to visit its sessions, and
even then the hotel accofumodations are
none of the best. They have very eleva
ted notions, it is true, and consequently
the poor visitor is mighty fortunate if he
steps short of a fourth or fifth story. We
are under the impression that a new loca
tion, for the capital, must be found sooner
or later. It is only a question of time.
Harrisburg must turn her attention to
some more worthy pursuits then those of
depending upon the crumbs which fall
from the Legislative table. She has been
weighed in the balance and found wanting.

FACTS FOR FREE TRADERS
. From the day, ur Washington, and
Franklin, and Hamilton, down to our own
time, all the leading luminaries in public
life, compared with whom our most prom
inent free traders and revenue reformers
are but as farthing candles, have advocated
the policy of protection to home manufac
tures and agricultural industries. Here
is the record, necessarily brief for present
purposes but susceptible of amplification :
EDITOR
WASHINGTON in his first message to
Congress said, "The safety and interest of
the People require that they should pro
mote such manufactures as tend to render
them independent of others." In his sec
ond message he said, "Congress have
repeatedly, and not without success, di
rected their attention to the encouragement
of manufactures. The object is of too
much consequence not to insure a cantin
uance of their efforts in every way which
shall appear eligible."
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN said in 1771 :
"It seems the interest of all our farmers
and owners of land to encourage our young
manufactures in preference to foreign
ones." Franklin fully recognized the close
and inseparable relation between the inter
ests of the farmer and the manufacturer.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON in his great
report of 1791, urged upon Congress the
policy of protection, supported by argu
ments which free traders have never an
swered and never can ; and be declares
extraordinary aid and protection from the
government "indispensable."
THOMAS <TEL FERSON, in 1815, earnestly
commended protection, and declared that
"it established manufactur.s at home
* * * and secured us against relapse
and foreign dependency."
HENRY CLAY, all through his political
life, manifested a sublime devotion to the
cause of protection, for which he has been
called "the father of the American sys
tem ;" but he modestly ascribed its pater
nity to "our Franklin, Madison, Jefferson,
Hamilton." In his masterly speech in
Congress on the 30th and 31st March,
1824, on the necessity of a protective tar
iff, to retrieve the country from threatened
ruin, Mr. Clay said : "The superidrity of
the home market results, let, from its
steadiness and comparative certainty at
all times; 2d, from the creation of recip
rocal interests; 3d, from its greater secu
rity ; and, lastly, from an ultimate and not
distant augmentation of consumption (and
consequently of comfort•) from increased
quantity and reduced prices. But this
home market, desirable as it is, can only
be created and cherished by the PROTEC
TION of our own legislation against the
inevitable prostration of our industry,
which must ensue from the action of
FOREIGN policy, and legislation." Again
in the same speech he says : "The cause is
the cause of the country, and it must and
will prevail. It is founded on the inter
ests and affections of the people. It is as
native as the granite deeply embosomed in
in our mountains."
JAMES MADISON wrote the preamble of
the first act ever passed by Congress, in
which are these words : "Whereas, it is
accessary for the support of the govern
ment, the discharge of the debt of the
United States, and the encouragement and
prormetoo of manujactures, that duties be
laid on goods, wares and merchandise im
ported." In 1828 near the close of his
useful life, Mr. Madison said "A further
evidence of the constitutional power of
Congress to protect and foster manufftc
tures by regulations of trade (an evidence
that ought of itself settle the question) is
the uniform and practical sanction given
that power for near forty years."
GENERAL JACKSON, in 1824, in a letter
to Dr. Coleman,.wrote : "We have too
long been subject to the policy of British
merchants. It is time that we should
become a little more Americanized, and
instead of feeding the paupers and laborers
of England, feed our own. By continuing
our present policy We shall be rendered
paupers ourselves. It is therefore my opin
ion that a careful and judicious tariff is
much wanted to pay our National debt, and
afford us the means of defense within our-
Iselves."
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, who was next to
Hamilton in statesmanship, said in a re
port to Congress in 1833: "To provide
for the general toelfitre, * * * the
power to levy taxes, duties, imports, and
excises is in express words given in the
constitution as a means, and it is an irre
missible duty of Congress." Again Mr.
Adams says: "The protection of high duties
is founded upon the principle of shielding
the domestic manufacturer front the ruinous
competition of foreigners, producers of the
same article. This principle is founded,
not upon the nature or uses of the article,
but upon the EIGHT of the citizen to pro
tection, pledged to him by the social com
pact, the correlative obligation of his coun
try to hint, for his duty and obligation of
allegiance to her."
DANIEL WEBSTER, in 1833, said :
The protection of American labor against
the injurious campetion of foreign labor is
known historically to have been one end
designed to be obtained by establishing the
constitution, and this object, and the con
stitutional rower to accomplish it, ought
never to be surrendered or compromised
in any degree."
In these significant declarations we have
the views of the authors and the expoun
ders of the constitution, in which the fact
is demonstrated that the protective policy
has always been one of the fundamental
principles of the American Government.
At different periods in our history the
advocates of free trade prevailed in the
Federal counsels of the Nation, and with
these changes came changes in the tariff,
when it was reduced to a free trade basis,
or put upon a medium, or as it was called,
a "compromise" footing. As an appropri,
ate appendix to the present article, we
propose to examine, very briefly, the effects
produced upon the country by the changes
made from a high to a low, and again to a
high tariff, during the different periods in
our National history.
YEARS 1800 TO 1814.
At the close of the war of Independence
there were few or no manufacturing in
dustries in the country. England, when
peace was proclaimed, largely increased
her exports to the new Republic. The
first period of protection influences was in
1807 and 8, caused by "restrictions upon
the importation of goods," aided by "the
embarrassment of foreign commerce."
Manufacturing establishments sprung into
existanee in different ',arts of the country.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island alone
numbering' "about 70 cotton mills with
48,000 spindles. These in thirty months
increased to 16 mills, with 119,000 spin
dles. Woolen !sills also increased in num
ber, and were in a flourishing condition.
Farming was sure profitable than ever
beflire, and manufacturie.4 and industries
of every kind indicated industry and pros
perity.
1814 To 1824
This was a remarkable decade. The
war and prohibition of foreign goods, had
stimulated our infant manufketories; but
we had only a revenue tariff, averaging
24 per cent. on the aggregate of imported
goods. After peace was proclaimed Eng
land flooded our markets with her pro
ducts, and British statesmen declared
openly that their object was b stifle our
infant manufactories "in the cradle," so
that they could control our markets.
That the British policy may not be mis
understood we quote the language of Mr.
Br)ugham in the House of Commons,
April 9, 1816. Here are his words :
"It is well worth while to inane a loss upon. the
first exportation, in order, by the glut, to stifle in
the cradle those infant manufactures in the United
States, which the war had forced into existence,
contrary to the natural order of things."
They succeeded. Factories were shut
up, and the nation was reduced almost to
beggary. At the close of the war Pitts
burgh, Pa., had 6,000 inhabitants, and
according to the historian, Mr. Carey,
"exhibited as exhilerating a scene of in
dustry and prosperity as any place in the
world." * "But also," he con
tinues, "the immoderate influx of manu
factures, poured in there shortly after the
peace, produced a most calamitous reverse.
The operations of the hammtir, the hatch
et, the shuttle, the spindle, the loom,
ceased in a great degree. Noble establish
ments which reflected boner upon the na
tion were closed ; the proprietors ruined ;
the workmen discharged. A blight and a
blast overspread the face of the city; and
the circumjacent country, which had
shared in its prosperity, now equally par
took of its decline."
As in Pittsburgh, so also throughout
the several states, aid so it continued until
the tariff was raised in 1824. It was then
that Gen. Jackson, as quoted above, said
that, "Instead of feeding the paupers and
laborers of Europe we should feed our own;
or else, in a short time, by continuing our
present policy, we shall all be paupers our
selves."
This was the result of ten years expert•
once of a revenue or free trade tariff.
1824 IV 1832.
Henry Clay succeeded, in 1824, in se
curing the enactment of a moderately pro
tective tariff. Its benefits were immedi
ately felt throughout the country. In 1828
a further increase was secured, which af
forded an average of over•4o per cent. on
dutiable goods. Business became prosper
ous and profitable, the revenues were aug
mented, the public debt reduced, and the
people enjoyed a condition of general ac
tivity in every branch of industry. Immi
-gration increased. and the population went
up from 9i millions in 1820 to over 13
millions in 1832. Clay in a speech in
Congress in 1832, said: "If the term of
seven years were to be selected of the
greatest prosperity which this people have
enjoyed since the establishment of their
present constitution, it would be exactly
that period of seven years which immedi
ately followed the passage of the tariff of
1824." This was au important early ex
perience under protection.
1833 TO 1840,
This was the period of the "compromise"
tariff, 'during which the average duty on
dutiable articles amounted to 311 per
cent.; but on the aggregate of imported
goods to only 181 per cent., owing to the
"free list" being largely increased. The
revenues fell from $361 millions in 1831 to
a fraction over $l5 millions in 1840. Many
yet living remember the universal distress
of this period. In 1837 the factories were
all closed, the shipping lay dismantled at
the wharves, the banks suspended and
were nearly all broken or legally Closed,
six cent "shin.plasters" took the place of
specie, the latter commanding a premium
of 17 to 22 per cent. In the cities the
streets and parks, and public squares were
crowded with paupers, without homes, and
without a penny to buy a morsel to eat.—
This was our second low tariff experience.
1841 TO 1846.
Congress saw its error, and in 1842
largely increased the general tariff, and
also placed a duty upon the main portion
of the artcles previously transferred to the
"free list." The new tariff was highly
protective. Business revived. The man
ufactories were again put in operation, and
new ones were erected. England and
France protested, and continued to force
their goods upon our markets, hoping to
undersell and close our manufactories.—
The revenues rose from $l5l millions in
1840 to $3l millions in 1845. Eight mil
lions of the public debt were paid off, and
the country generally enjoyed great pros
perity. So much for another experience
in protection.
1847 To 1860.
Free traders again ruled in Congress,
and the tariff was reduced to an average
of 23 per cent. on dutiable goods, and on
the aggregate of all imported articles to 19
per cent. The European manufactures
took advantage of the low tariff and filled
the country with foreign products. The
imports went up from 81171 millions in
1841 to $3621 in 1860 ! Then came the
years of universal distress; but the country
was saved from financial ruin, like that of
1837, by the relief afforded from the time
ly discovery of gold in California. Busi_
ness all over the formerly prosperous great
West was prostrated and bankruptcy pre
vailed every Where. Trade and business
were paralyzed. There was but little work,
and ruinously low wages, and we have now
among usmany men in prosperous business,
who have not forgotten the distress experi
enced by themselves and their families be
fore the close of that free trade period of
suffering.
1861 To 1871
The magnificent results of the decade
just closed are yet fresh in our memories.
Of its unparalleled achievements in sup
pressing a gigantic rebellion; in wiping
out Livery forever fl•t.um the U n i on; in
quilting, feeding and sustaining an army
in a manner that lies no parallel in history;
in reducing the public debt and restoring
the national credit, we are all living wit
nesse:;. At the close of the we r, there was
no commercial crisis, no financial panic.—
Everybody was profitably employed, an t i
the whole r..mttry expel ienced unparallel
ed prosperity. Just here it will be proper
to call cx-Spec•ial Commissioner Wells,,the
great revenue refinmer to the stand. • lie
has recently been swinging round among
the great Western cities, and by a sericsof
lectures. or rather the saute doleful tale
often repeated, ho has labored to make the
people believe that the country is fast go
ing to ruin. Without waiting to continent
upon his contradictions and inconsistencies,
we here take his evidence upon the state
of the country, as recorded in his annual
report,. as Special Commissioner of Rem e
nue, fur the year 1568. Ho says :
"Within the last live years more cotton spindles
have been put into operation, more iron furnaces
erected, more iron smelted, more bars rolled, more
steel made, more coal and copper mined, more lum
ber sawed and hewn, more houses and shops con
structed, more manufactories of different kinds
started, and more petroleum collected, refined and
exported than during any equal period in the histo
ry qf the country."
In his last report, that for 1869, he gave
an equally glowing picture of "crops in
excess of any recent average;"
of acres" of wilderness reclaimed in the
year, and more mile.; of railway construct
ed than ever ; while "from the Atlantie•td
the Pacific there are few who, except from
physical ailment., need hunger for food or
be idle for want of remunerative employ ;
men t."
Such is our unparalleled prosperity, as
attested by Mr. Wells, under a protective
tariff, and such will it continue to be while
the Protective Policy is recognized and
maintained by Congress and the Adminis
tration.
PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN AS
SOCIATION.
At an adjourned meeting of the "Penn
sylvania Republican Association" of Penn
sylvanians, temporarily residing in Wash
ington, D. C., held March 23d, 1872, for
the purpose of instructing their delegates
to the State Convention, the following res
olutions were unanimously adopted, and a
copy ordered to be sent to each Republi
can paper in the State, with a request that
the same be published : •",
Resolved, That we have undiminished confi
dence in the high character, unquestioned integ
rity of PRESIDENT GRANT, and that, as mem
bers of the Republican party, identified with'its
onward march of progress and proud of its history
we point with satisfaction to the fulfilment of his
pledges, and the faithful discharge of the many
.d responsible duties of his exhalted position as
the surest evidence of his fidelity, and as the best
assurance that can be given of the confidence with
which the American people may rely upon him for
an honest, fearless, independent, and upright ad
ministration of the Government during the next
Presidential term.
Resolved, That, in the deliberate opinion of this
Association, the Republican State Convention
about to assemble in Harrisburg, should cordially
unite in presenting the name of HON. JOHN
SCOTT, to the Philadelphia National Republican
Convention, as Pennsylvat.ia's favorite for the
nomination of the Vice-Presidency. lilt record in
the United States Senate for the last three years
is without blemish. The soundness of his prinei
plett, the integrity which marks his private char
acter. and the ability with which he has discharg
ed his Senatorial duties, have commended him to
the respect of the Republican party of the nation.
Resolved, That, the delegates chosen to repre
sent this Association in the State Convention at
Harrisburg, be instructed to use all honorable
Lion, in ;aver of the ttoni"" "n " " 9 u' r "6"'"'"° J u tttion utf 0
Ir
SCOTT, for the Vice-Presidency, and the adoption
of a resolution, instructing the Penney: •anin. Del
egates, in the National Convention, to urge, by
every fair effort, his nomination for that office.
Resolved, That, as it will soon become necessary
to elect a United States Senator from the State of
Pennsylvania, and recogt.ising in HON. SIMON
CAMERON a wise, judicious and far-secing states
loan, an eminent, thorough and active Republican,
who, for many years, has done efficient service in
defending the great principles of the party, and in
guarding with jealous care the interests of the
State he so ably represents, and who has, uniform
ly, fully sustained his high reputation at home,
while he has, by his ability and integrity, secur
ed the confidence of the Adniinistration. and at
tained in the Senate a position, honorable alike to
the State and himself, which it would be impossi
ble for any new member to reach, and now posses
ses a knowledge, derived from a long legislative
experienae and an intimate acquaintance with the
wants of the people, of the highest importance in
advancing the emcees of Republicanism, and in
the solution of the grave questions arising in Con
gress; Therefore, it is in the sense of this Associ
ation that the best interests of the State and the
future success of the Republican cause therein, de
mand the re-election of HON. SIMON CAMER
ON to the Senate of the United States, and he is;
therefore, hereby earnestly requested to allow his
name again to be used in that connection.
WHICH SHALL IT BE?
We admit, with the Cleveland Leader,
that if the American people are tierd of a
protective tariff, and want free trade, they
should retire Grant from the Presidency
and elect a Democrat or a Republican
"revenue reformer." But if the sober sense
of the people, confirmed by the wonderful
development and activity of our deversi
fied industries, demand adherence to the
protective policy, there is no alternative
but the re-election of President Grant.
For no other Republican candidate is pos
sible except as a cumpramise with the
"Liberals" and "New Departure" Repub.
limns of Missouri and Cincinnati, whose
main paint of opposition to Grant's admin
istration is that it is in favor of protection.
Such a change in the succession would im
ply the defeat of the protectional system
of tariff laws, and on the vital question of
free trade, would be equivalent to a Dam-,
ocratic victory.
IRON IN THE WEST.
Twelve years ago our iron product was
quite limited cud confined to the Middle
States. Now, under the stimulating influ
ence of our protective tariff, iron works are
established all over the West. Illinois
last year produced 65,000 tons of pig iron.
In one county in Indiana six furnaces are
now making 150 tons of iron daily. Mis
souri, in 1871, produced 83,000 tons of
pig iron, and mined 300,000 tons of ore.
Michigan, in the same year, made 100,000
tons pig iron. These manufacturers all
pay their workmen more than double the
amount of wages paid for similar work iu
England. So much for protection.
ra,. Charles Nike has incurred the in
dignation of the ultra-royal members of
the British Parliament, by offering a reso
lution to investigate the expenses of the
Crown. Auberon Hubert seconded the
resolution, and Eilke and he both spoke
in its defence amid hisses and groans.—
Gladstone replied. Nike is right and has
many followers in England.

Y. Sun, was arrested, in Philadelphia, on
Saturday last, and held in $5,000 bail to

Treaty with Japan—Democratic Wig-
WASItINGTON, D. C., April 1, 1872.
THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN
JAPAN
Later dates have reached Washington
from Japan, and a good deal of indigna
tion and sorrow is felt and expressed at
the continued ill treatment of christians in
that country. Two of our missionaries,
Mr. Gulick and Mr. Greene, write from
Kobe, January 18, and both of these reli
able writers confirm many of the state
ments contained in The Overland China
Mail, and Allan's Ilameward Mad that
the violence of the persecution of native
Christians in Japan, and in the face of the
Japanese official paper read recently to a
deputation at the London Foreign Office
seems incomprehensible. The most bar
barous persecutions are reported from Na_
gasaki. The Prince of Saga is the insti
gator, and a high official from the Mikado's
court named Iwakura (the same Iwakura
who is at the head of the Embassy now in
Washington) the superintending torturer,
and 2,000 victims are said to be doomed.
Iwakura is ordering the torture and sacri
fice of these unhappy people in batches.—
Usder the first order sixty-seven had per
ished. Crucifixion and boiling alive, the
original forms of execution for Christians
in Japan, have given place to starvation,
imprisonment without light or clothing,
exposure, unclothed, on frozen ponds with
hands and feet bound, or forcing coal into
the mouth. The Nagasaki paper under
stands that the foreign consuls have alrea
dy apprised their respective Governments
of these acts, and it trusts that the British
Government will interfere.
Mr. Gulick writes :
'•lt will be remembered that immediately after
the deportation of Christians two years since, the
former Prime Minister of the Japanese Govern
ment, Ewaukura, now spelled Iwakura, and who
is at the head of the Embassy to Europe and Amer
ica., stated in the presence of his fellow ministers to
Sir Henry Parkes, Mr. DeLong, and all the repre
sentatives or the treaty powers, that the Council of
State had agreed 'to stop these proceedings against
the Christians. and that an officer would leave on
the morrow to suspend them.' It was afterwards
claimed that this promise did not• apply to those
who had already !.een arrested, and that it was
only an agreement that no more Christians would
bo arrested in future. Now what becomes of that
promise, formally and solemnly made to the Chris
tian powers, that those proceedings would be stop
ped ?"
The Washington papers have published
extracts from the papers named above, and
it is probable Iwakura will feel himself
compelled to make an explanation in re
ference to this inhuman treatment of the
Catholic Christians of his country, and in
which he figures as one of the main instru
ments in these persecutions. The Christian
churches in America should lose no time
in appealing directly to the Secretary of
State at Washington to insist upon an ar
ticle being inserted in the new treaty
guaranteeing full religious liberty and tol
eration in Japan.
THE DEMOCRATIC WIGWAM.
August Belmont, of New York city,
chairman of the National Democratic Com
mittee, arrived in Washington on Wed
nesday last, and called an informal politi
cal caucus,,at which were present about
forty of the principal politicians of both
houses.. The question of holdingA Na
tional Convention was fully and freely dis
cussed by Ca.sserly, Frank Blair, Stockton,
Bayard, and others. The feeling was un
mistakable against calling a convention at
this time, or indicating any positive policy
until after the action of the Cincinnati
convention is known. Any coalition with
the republicans, it was admitted, must be
made on the question of strength only;
there must be no surrender of democratic
principles. It was advised that no demo
crats participate in the Cincinnati conven
tion. There was less disposition to endorse
Judge Davis than was expected. The
names of Senator Trumbull and Charles

TUE KU KLUX PLEAD GUILTY.
On Wednesday Attorney General Wil
lianis received a telegram from the U. S.
District Attorney for northern Mississippi
to the effect that the twenty-nine Monroe
county prisoners, charged with kukluxing,
plead guilty to those indictments, and the
sentence was suspended.
TIIAT "CASE!'
The second "note" from the English to
the American Government, with reference
to the "incidental damage" question, will
probably be received this week; possibly
in time to be read at the cabinet, meeting
to-morrow. There is very little specula
tion on the subject—the general opinion
in all quarters being that it is a strong re
petition of the grounds declared in the
first note, though more argumentative in
character than that document.
THE NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN
Although the present Japanese Embas
sy were not especially empowered to make
a treaty, there is nothing in their instruc
tions which prevented them from framing
a protocol. It is understood, therefore,
that Governor Ito, who has just left here
for Japan, has taken home to the Mikado
a draft of au important and most liberal
commercial' treaty as the basis for one to
be agreed on in the future between the
United States and Japan. The most im
portant feature of it is that which enlar
ges the clause of the old treaty admitting
foreigners and importations into Japan.—
Religious toleration is equally important,
and the American Christian churches
should EtEe that it is not omitted. There
is no time to be lost. Our missionaries
are helpless without our influence.
