Ettlitt*a*Sprtts, English Views of a North Anlerieillk Con.. federation. [From the London Times, 31arch l 11 ? * * There are those, of course, who have always regarded a north American Confederation with suspi cion and distrust. Stated without e serve, their objection is that a territ ry which must, according to their view, be absorbed sooner or later by the Uu ted States, is hereby 'retained a little longe in allegiance to Queen V ‘ ictoria, at a sacri fice of its own true interests and those of Great Britain. With an objection. of this kind we can not pretend to feel the least sympathy, resting, as it does, on miscon ceptiOns of fact as well as on falla c ies of reasoning. If one thing be clearer than another, it 'is that confederation renders the United Provinces not more, bUt less dependent on the mother country. 1 It is no secret that, from the impenil point of view, , the project was favorably enter taine in connection with the policy which throws upon colonies the main re :sponsibility for their own defense. Henceforwaxd, if British North America becomes stronger for the purposes of re pelling aggression, it will be in spite of large reductions in the British garrison, and solely in consequence of her own in creased effort for self-protection. It is worse than idle to represent this country as having established the Dominion of Canada to serve as a bulwark against the United States. Though encouraged by the Imperial Government, the Confedera tion emanated from the Provinces them selves, and the Act 'of Confederation makes the Provinces more free than ever to dispose of themselves as - they please. If the mass of the people should hereafter 'bake to enter the American Union, of • Which there is no proof or symptom, ng land will assuredly not lift a finger to pre , vent it, and, unless the mass of population should desire it, the United States can have no wish to receive them. Whether they gravitate in that direction by a natu ral law, and are destined one day to obey the centripetal force, we are not concern ed to inquire. -At the present, they pre fer Confederation under the British Mon archy, and they ought to khow their own ' interests. Nova Scotia, especially, has profited by the short-sighted fiscal policy Of the United States, and has not suffered *hat she apprehended from the protec tionist.tendencies of Canada. It is possi ble that her coal trade may at some future ti e attract her toward the American I nion as much as her ship-building trade in n w repels her from it, but she is inhab it dby much too business - like a popula -1 tibn to annex herself "for an idea." The Burning of the Illinois Blind Asy• The following details have been receiv ed of the burning.of the State Blind Asy lum in Jacksonville, ILL : After all that could be saved was taken out, the people stood around the burning edifice in mute amazement, while the fierce flames were surging and sweeping through every apartment, with nothing to.check or oppose their Airy. Little groups, of blind boys and girls were seen stand ing about, some weeping, some greatly agitated, and crying out to every one for information as to the progress of the fire, and others laughing at the flurry and ex citement of everything around them. The scene was sad and appalling in the ex treme. A few minutes after, a terrible howl was heard proceeding rom the vi cinity of one of the front windows. A minute afterward a little black terirer mounted from the smoking chamber to the window sill, and gazed down piteous ly upon the crowd below. A shout went up from five hundred throats in sympathy for the little fellow. Arms were held ready to receive him if he could be indu ced to jump down, but he stood and howled until the fl ames began to leap out over his head. In des tier he made an effort to jump from the window to a pro jection over the door, about six feet be low• but missed his hold and rolled down to the ground, but immediately got up and ran away, amid shouts of triumph. Kerosine Oil. The pyrometer, invented by the inspec tor of kerosene oil in New York city, is described as follows: The instrument con sists of a closed receptacle of water upon a stand, with a lamp under it. Into this receptacle a metalic cup - containing the fluid to be , tested is placed. The cup has a cover over it, level except at one place, where it is elevated into a semi-globular dome. In the level pait of the cover are two valves for the admission of, air when it is required, and in one side of the dome is a small orifice. The testing process is as follows: A thermometer, resting in the oil to be tested; is affixed to the inside of the cup; the lamp is then lighted and by warming the water, it in turn warms the oil, vvhich, when heated to a certain de gree.; emits a vapor of exceedingly explosive qualities. This vapor- rises into the dome over the cup. When it can be ignited by a match thrust into the dome through its orifice, the oil has reaehed what' is known as the vaporizing or flashing point. This point is ascer taine4 by consulting _the •thermometer. The burning point, when the whole body of oil is ignited,, is ascertained by contin uint the process. NE Ultii The Democracy. - The Richmond Whig is very severe upon the Northern Democrats for their cowardice and selfishness. ' It charges that while they prate a great deal of their intereat in the South, they • really do not care eLough to make the least self denial. The Wh ig says: "They do not say to us, you fought our battle for four years—fought until you could fight no longer, and were com pelled to surrender your armies in the field—and now you are entitled to repose; surrender :.the hat garrison you, ineffec• tually hold'and address-'yourselves to the necessary work of recuperation. Noi! they-do not say this, or ,anythiug like it. Oh the contrary; they meanly appeal to / a crusted, bleeding, and broken.hearted people to sacrifice the hist feeble remnants of their political and social existence, in order That they (the. Northern Dernocz racy) may be saved from the operations ' -of the Fifteenth Amendment. Nothing inbieslianieftfi has odearied is these days of degeneracy' nd profligacy.

Soon after ,the assassination of Mr. Inn coin; a subscription was opened in France, limited to two cents for each person for the purpose of offering to Mrs. Linco lni a gold medal as a testimonial bf the sym pathy.of the French dernocrSts with the American people in their bereavement. Every obstacle was thrown in the way of this project by the French government; the publication of the appeal to the French people and of the subscription -list was prohibited, and the execution of the med al in France was forbidden. Much delay, therefore, occurred, in obtaining the re quisite number of subscribers, forty thou sand, and in raising the amount required, $BOO. The medal was finally executed in Geneva, by Franky-Magniadas. It is composed of gold, and is three-eighths of an inch thick and three and a half inches in diameter. The obverse contains a well executed likeness - of President Lincoln, and the inscription, "Dedie par la Democ racie Francaise a Lincoln, President deux fois eludes Etats-Unis"—"Dedica ted by the French Democracy to Lincoln, twice elected President of the United States." The reverse contains a pyramid- Shaped monument, bearing the inscrip tion, "Lincoln, l'honnete homme, about l'Esclavage, retablit l'Union, Saliva la Republique, Sans voilant la statue de la Liberte. I 1 fut Assassine le 14 April, 1865"—"Lincoln, the virtuous man, abolished slavery, reestablished the Union, saved the Republic, without veil ing the statue of Liberty. He was assas; stnated April 14th, 1865." The monu ment is supported on the left by a figure of Liberty, placing . a wreath upon the tomb; and on the right by a figure of a negro, holding a musket and addressing a negro boy with a book under his arm, and who is offering a branch of palm. In the background are the emblems of com merce—the steamship, locomotive, Vic., and above, the eagle surrounded by the stars of the States. - limi. The French Meehi Medal. The Last Soldier of the Revolution. A. correspondent of the Warsaw Demo. crat announces the death of Daniel Fred eoick Beekman, the last survivor of the Revolution, which took place at San dusky, Cattaraugus county, N. Y., on the morning of April sth, 1869, at the green old age of 109 years, being born in New Jersey about 1760. When a child, his pl rents emigrated to the Mohawk Valley, where they lived during the revo lutionary war. Previous to the skirmish or, battle of Fort Plain, in 1778, young Beekman was enrolled in the militia, and took part in that battle—his first service. At that time, being Dutch, and not un derstanding our language, he could not tell whether he enlisted into the army or not. He only remembered that his cap tain's name was Vanarum. He was in the service several months as team ster. About 1828, he became a resi dent of what is now the town of Arcade, Wyoming county, N. Y. About 1845 he removed to the town of Freedom, Cataraugus county, where he has since resided. His wife, with whom' he has lived over eighty-five years, 'was two years his senior, and died six years ago, aged 105. In all applications for a pen sion, made by his friends in his behalf, there was a failure for want of proof, un til in February, 1867, when a special act was passed by Congress, allowing him, and Gray% of Ohio, $5OO per annum. In religion Mr. Beekman was a Lutheran; in politics a Democrat, voting first for Washington, and at all Presidential elec tions since, voting a Democratic ticket— except last fall, when he was converted, And vtited for General Grant.. His two 'eldest sons died a few months ago, over eighty years of age; several of his chil dren are now living. His descendants of the fourth and fifth generations are numerous. - COMPETITIVE EXAMIICATIONS.--JObll Stuart XIII, the celebrated English au thor of works on political economy, has recently written a letter on the subject of Competitive Examinations, as applied to the civil service in the lf niteoi States. He says: "I have long thought that the appointments to office, without regard to qualifications, are the worst side of American institutions; , the main cause of what is justly complained of .in their practical operation, and the principal hin drance to the correction of what is amiss, as well as a cause of ill reputito demo cratic institutions all over the world.. •If appointments were given, not by poll ical influence. but by open competition, the practice of turning out the holders of office at every change in politics in or. der to reward partisans, would necessari ly cease, and with it nearly all the cor ruption and the larger half of the viru , lence of mere party conflict." Tim New York Evening Post says: "A very highly-placed and patriotic Amer ican told us," says the London Spectator , "that if a new York millionaire commit-. ted a murder it would be literally impos sible to punish him. The jury would be discharged without a verdict." The Spectator must have been talking with Mr. Reverdy Johnson, who was not able to resist the American weakness of "stuff ing" an Englishman." In fact, if a New York millionaire committed a murder, hp would be hanged—if he did not bribe the deputy sheriff to let him escape. If a Sixth ward "rough" assassinates a police man on duty—however, that is another matter. Even then the jury will do its duty; but some judge will order a new trial; and so on. THE Spanish Cortes, by a large major ity, have carried the articles of the new Constitution which provide for liberty of the press, freedom of meeting and associa tion, and the right of petition. All the liberal movements which took place in Europe in 1848 proclaimed these liberties, and, whenever they had the power, estab lished them. But the reaction which has since swept over Europe , has destroyed. again in most States the fruit of the revo lution of 1848, and, outside of England,' Switzerldnd, Belgium and Hollattd, there are now few countries in Europe which really enjoy them. Spain willtherefore rank in this respect among the freest na tions Of Europe, if the Coustitutio 'ghoul& ever be carried out. Krt514930 1 ...: tPAP .132=t_ POLITICAL: - - _ iBEI. I / 1 7 1 r9..
