disfranchising the Mongolian race as a

be excluded either as. Chinese, &c., to
nonatne4 "or, generally, as natives of Asia,
but not as of the Mongolian race. The
distinctiou is certainly a fictitious one,
but members from the Pacific States pre
ferred it, opposing strenuously the Senate

When, in due the •President ad-
OVA.* timielf :to psngress, he will make
each,; special recommendations as the
Constitution enjoins and his sense of pub
lie di:ay : tiny Prompt. But we need ex
pect nothing of this sort in the inaugural
of to-morrow. No one . knows what he
will say—for he has been as reticent in
that regard as upon his appointments to
office—but past experience, of General
GRANT'S character and habits of thought
and speech, is such as to foreshadow what
he will not say.
As to both the. Inaugural Address and
the Cabinet, the public are as much in the
dark as ever. We have known, for the
week past, that licitomaa would retain
the Var-Office, and that Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts would have other de
partments. Beyond that, we know noth

REACTION IN ENGLAND.
There was a period, of long duration,
when the mturufacbrrera of , Great Britain
:nnanimously .., advocated Governmental
Protection to the various industries in
which they were engaged. At first' this
Protection, in UCCOIYIEUMES with their so
licitations, was extended in the form of
direct bounties, afterwards in the shape of
mposts upon foreign competing articles.
' After a while they became conscious that
they had surrounded themselves, or been
encompassed by the course of events,
with advantages superior to those exist
ing elsewhere; that is
I to say, they. ,had
perfected their. machinery, beyond all
precedent, MUltiplying many -fold the
power of fabrication; lad accumulated
capita to an extent that i carriedri interest
on money to a much lower poird than in
any other nation; and had been far
ther aided by a redundaniy of laborers
which reduced the wages both of skilled
workmen and of common hands to the
lowest pitclrat which the means of human
subsistence were attainable.
Such a body of manufaaturers could well
afford to espouse the doctrine of Free
Trade, and that is just what they .did.
Having reached a point where competition
with them seemed tit be 'repairable, they
exiwatiatedon the cage, Bence of discounte
nancing all ,serts of
,grotection; of wel- .
coming by the, removal of impediments
to trade,the results of discriminating leg-
IshitiOn, and of asserting oractically the
unity and interdependence of all the races
of men. To Superficial thinkers,' there
was not a little of ' this talk that sounded
pleasantly, andexhaled an odor of htt.
'manitarianism.
=I
At last the British Government, which
had been the staunchest champion of pro.
tection, nominally accepted the Free
Trade system of political economy, and
Ostentatiously invited all other Govern
inentii to do so. But it was careful not
•
to abolish its custom houses , . or dismiss
the numerous corps of officials who kept
watch against the importation' of foreign
merchandise Isrithout - the payment of du
ties. It did, indeed, modify its tariff of
imposts so as' to meet the conditions of
its indtltry, but that was all. It adhered
to discriminations hi favor of its own
people as rigidly as, ever before; only the
progress of events had enabled it to dis
pense with certain discriminations which
had became inoperative.
Twenty years have produced still far
ther changes; and British manufacturers
are now turning slowly, but certainly,
towards protection. S,everal menths ago,
we gave some accounts of its movement
among the makers of iron and machinery.
Now it appears that the .manufacturers of
cotton goods, even in Manchester, are
dissatisfied with , the degree of_ ;Free
Trade, deceptive as it is, under — Which
they are toiling.
What
- is the matter with these people ?
there has been no absalute falling away
In the perfection of their machinery,
no diminution in their supply of capital,
ne scarcity In the aupply of operatives,
no, decadence in the excellence or su
premacy of their commercial marine.
What, then; has' rought the change ap
parent in their wislies and purposes?
Simply this, that &her nations, our own
included, have 'advanced in the arts of
productive industry; have skilled their
laborers, improied and multiplied their,
machinery, accumulated capital, and are
coniequently prepared to compete with
British producers on equal terms, or
something akin thereto. '
An& We', May lkjtugl,y; taken BEI only
the commencement of thii; movement.
In propoitiOn as other nations come up
to the point whero their Manufacturing
Classes can meet the Same Brithilt clasies,
on equal conditionsi will the. den2and of
the latter for protection &ow 'louder and
Ikinder; Until Rree Trade, even in sem
blance, shall be set aiide as a' deluslomand
the system of. Protection he 'proclaimed
is all its,ftdiness and rigor:, It will not
be long to wait for the accomplishment
"of-=this /change. Let those Who; , alf
interested watch for its .early COnStiln

besades, indications that he was ac
tuated,, •to a censiderable , degree, by
morbid dislike _of almost everybody:
Git'ART'S sister waifcoarael§ assailed by
POLLARD, without cause, and in revenge
for that assaalt, as is alleged, GRANT shot
POLLAILD dead as he 7as entering his
office the following morning. The , case
was calculated to excite intense feeling;
and hence it is not wonderful that diffi
culty is experienced, under the rules now
existing, in obtaining jurors to try the
accused. But, it is not our purpose to
comment upon that rule, or the trop le to
secure a jury under it.
The New 'lry rld Times holds that it is
evidence of 4 ta hidf-civilized or barbar
ousj
state of soc ety" that a man ag
grieved as- Giux was, should, take re
dress into his ow hands. We are by no
means inclined tol dispute that inference_
or conclusion. No better proof of bar::
barism, or, •at least, of.a• low condition
of civilization, can be adduced than'the
fact that men feel' constrainedto be their
own avengers rather than trust to such
administration of penal justice as can be
obtained through the public authorities.
But It seems to us that the Times over
looks one very important fact in its don
sideratlon of this matter. Such license
as POLLARD exercised in, the conduct of
his journal, without interference from the
authorities, furnishes quite as uncon
trovertible evidence of the barbarism
of Richmond society, as did Ids slaughter
by one upon -whose rights and feelings he
had ruthlessly tram pled.
And this illustrates what we, have re
peatedly urged, that if, either through
the laws, or the operation of public ()pin=
ion, editors are to be granted impunity in
publisbing whet -:they - will concerning
private individuals, or relative to the
private concerns of public men, the per
sonseggrieved ought to be left at liberty
to adopt such. measures of redress as shall :; ',
appear to them suitable. We know this
savagery isbarbarism; but so is the evil for
which this savagery is the natural remedy.
No man, unless dettssed in his Instincts,
would tamely submit to, such an oatiage
as POLLARD' inflicted upon the members
of the GRANT family. Both the laws and
_the
_community are ati fault when such
outraaei can he perPetiated with com
plete, or very nearly complete impunity:
That is the point where the: barbarism
comes in; and, hen4hat is the point at,
which there is most need to have an effi
dent remedy applied.
Tan COUNTRY will thank the Senate
for its refusal to adopt Mr. Sitranteres
resolution for a recognition of Cuban in
dependence. However we might have
been induced to deal wiih the old Spain
of a Bouason despotism, in behalf of a
province struggling for its political free
dom, it becomes a radically different ques
tion when we are asked to countenance a
causeless revolt against the authority of
the new Spain of liberal and progressive
ideas. For it would be but an indifferent
welcome which the Great Republic would
thus offer to the development of republi
can ideas in Europe, to improve the occa
sion for stripping the people of Spain of
their most valuable territorial possession.
, Such would be the substantial effect of
our approtal of the Cuban revolt.
As for any American recognition of
belligerent rights, it is becoming for us
to reziteinblir what injustice'Wen have our
selves atiffered from the premature and
unfriendly exercise of this sovereign pre
rogative by other powers not long ago.
Let 118 be in no hurry to imitate the in-
Miami example 1 .
Tni annexed - paragraph from the
New York Tribune affords a striking; il
lustration of the magnitude of what are
styled the vihisky-frands on the revenue.
Says that journal, apropos to the presi
dent's resolution to stop all that cheating:
In the year 1868,_ when thetas upon dis
tilled spirits was 112 per. gallon, and the
amount collected was twenty-nine mil
lions of dollars, one of the largest of our
commission merchants, who had at the
time thousands of barrels of whisky in
his storehouse said that if the Govern
ment would give him the right to collect
the taxi he - would engage to pay the
whple 'interest upon the public debt.
Now this interest for that year was one
hundred and thirty:three and
the gentleman -referred towts at.-once
tbotoughly acquainted, with' the- trade,
and eminentlyy, capable of estimating its
amount and the amount of tax honestly
due upon it. The presumption in favor
of Ids opimon is clear from the fact that
only sixty-seven million° of gallons
should have paid the interest "which
would have left him at least eighty mil
none of dollars to pay the expense of
collection and give his • profit. If. Presi
dent Grant puts his resolution into lull
force,^at the present rate of duty he will
squeeze half the filtered on our debt out
of the manatlicturers and dealers in in
toxicating figural. •
:Vac division of Texas is earnestly Ter:
commended by General CANBY, the Mill
taffy CofiMuknder, who states his belief
1 ,This measure, will finelly disport*, end
denibralise the • disloyal' element, and
give tut a separation of the State`Which
will bring to the ref* peace and prosper

of Pitb3bitrgli • hut if I should op.
pose and vote against the purchase of
ground for a large Park. away out where
such a thing is not needed, and will not
be for a generation to come. It would be
very nice for a few near it, and for an
other few who have the means to reach it
in carriages; but to the great majority of
, the dwellers in the densely populated por
tions of the city, and who really need
breathing _places, it will, be of no more
use than if it were on the summit of the
Allegheny mountains.•
I should say, never mind that. There
is already plenty of fresh air, and there
are abundance of trees in that beautiful
and romantic suburb where it is proposed
.to do this thing; but instead of that, buy
a little ground where the Allegheny and
Monongahela come together and make a
little more by filling; then let the ground
thus obtained be made as beautiful and
shady as possible. Cut it up by as many
serpentine walks—not drives —as good
•taste will allow, and then let'he swelter
ing dwellers in our crowded streets, who
really need fresh air, get free access to it.
Do that, and you will have something,
however hUmble, that will really conduce
to the health and enjoyment of those who
need something of the kind. The cost
will be trifling compared with the other
project, and the results much more profit
able. trTfurataart.
Washlngtou Items.
IT is understood, that all the Cabinet
officers, except General Schofield and At
torliey General Evart's, have officially
tendered the resignation of their port
folios to President Johnson, and that they
will be accepted. In the meantime their
respective departments ' will be left in
charge of officials next in rank as acting
f3eeretaries.
Gmv. GRA= states that the remark at
tributed to him by Uolonel McClure, that
though he was elected by the Republican
party, he is not a party man, is calculated
to do him injustice; and although he;does
not desire to charge Mr. McClure with
intentionally misrepresenting him, he
does net want to be, considered as untrue
to the rights of the party and the men
who elected him.
GEN. GRANT stated again, as he has
before stated, that he will appoint a Com
missioner of Indian :Agairs and a Corn-
Missioner of Internal Revenue on his
own resptutsibility, but in the case of all
the other bureau officers he will take the
advice of his Cabinet members, and ex
pects them o select men who will serve
the Govern ent faithfully and effectively.
'lat. DE o takes the hardest position
in die entir Government. On this place,
whil6 figb g the late Andrew Jobnson,
we piled the, heaviest responsibility and
work that attach 'to any place _in the
country. _ The. Commissioner comes in
contact directly with the biggest rings
and the boldest and most adroit seouU
dreis we are afilicted'tvith. Hr. Deland ,
happily, possesses the necessary ability
honesty, and, let us hope, courage.
. The latest rumor in relation to Gen,
Grant's Cabinet is that the War Depart
ment is the'one allotted to Pennsylvania
and in consequence that the cariosity rei
gardinglhe coming man from that. State
will not be gratified until after Gen. SchoL
field's retirement.
There is a general desire for a reconcil
iation between the incoming and out-
going President, so as to give practical
effect to Gen. Grant's "Let us have
Peace" plattbnn. President Johnson has
been sounded upon the subject, and ; is
willing to accept overtures, but the busy.
bodies hesitate to approach Gen. Grant in
reference to it, the General being known
to entertain very strong feelings in refer
ence to the circumstances of the original
estrangement.
Death'of John Ericsson.
' John , Ericsson the Inventor of the
caloric steam engine, the screw propeller,
the builder of the celebrated "monitor,"
and the originator of various scientific
theories and mechanical appliances, died
in Itichlitno,. New York, on Thursday
last, from hyd i rophobia, produced by the
bate of a dog, n dieted a month ago.
Mr. Ericsson was the son of a miner in
Wermeland, Sweden, and was born in
1808. Hor distinguished himself even in
his boyhood `by his nudhemathial ac
quirements and constructive &lb, and
before he was sixteen years old, itris said,
was charged with the duty of laying , out
work for six hundred then on the Grand
Canal of Sweden. - He sabsequently en
tered the army, but In about six years
left It to introduce in England an engine
of somewhat the same character as his
later "caloric engine." There he intro
duced his idea of an artificial draft for
engines to dispense with largo smoke
stacks, and save feel, and made in seven
weeks a locomotive that won the prize for
speed and lightness,
In 1833 e hard:laced his caloric en
gine to public notice, but It did not sue
ceed 'until about ten or twelve years ago.
It is now extensively used there the
power is not 4 griit. He also, at ti later
daY,- made know in Englands 1119E11-
tion,:of the sore* propeller for s li p ' He
met with no Success in Eng lan d, ind
dame to this eountry, in 1839, to intro
duce it here, and here he has l ived , ever
since. ' ' ' -
His propeller' was adopted for the
Princeton some years ago,
and is now the great rival of the' paddle
wheel. In 113131 Ericsson bullt the lifoni;
tor, the fame of which will not soon be
forgotten. In person ,
he was strongly
and heavily built, and of great physical
enduranee. /lie face showed firmness.
.and resolution; but not so strongly as his
life.' Against material obstacles, envy
and ridicule, hoihan foughi nearly all his
