Thecrlticism was to tho effect that this position had beon modified by tho Treaty of Paris of 185G, by which privatooring was sbolished, and the rules adopted that o noutral flag covers ono- my's goods, with the oxcoption of contra- band of war ; that neutral goods, with tho snme excoption, are not liable to eapture un- dor an onemy's flag, and that blockades must bo offeative to bo binding, To thisthe Repub- lican roplica that the Troaty of Parisis not binding upon this nation, becauss our Gov- cermmont rofused Lo accopt theso rules, Thero i8 n pressuro now being made, under the lead of tho Cobden Club of England, to induce the United States to accopt theso rules, but the Repubdlican urges that the samo roasons which induced Mr. Marox (then Bocrotary of Slato) to reject them should now inflnonce tho United States to adheroto the principlo that *‘freo ships malko froo goods.” This rnlo is not modified in tho caso of either Russin or Turkoy, as it is by specinl troaty with somo of tho othor Pow- ers, and it doos away with the right of soarch, dispute of what is contraband of war, and manlfold annoyances incident to tho rnles of tho Parls treaty, Contraband of war has in some cases been held to include provisions, naval atores, horses, minerals, ns woll as nrms, equipmonts, and ammunition, Both Rassia and Curkey have had Amorican manufactories at work on imploments of war for many yeavs, and tho rnles of Parls would provent the delivery of any part thereof that has not yet boon nctually transferred. The Amorican rule of *frco slups make freo goods” is much broader, simpler, and ap- parently in botter keoping with tho spirit and intorests of tho United States. Tho now loader of the Fronch Cabinot, the Due pE BrooLrx, is a grandson of Madame pESmazt. Ho was born in 1821, and in carly youth attached himsalf to tha Orlean., ists, but did not come into prominent notice until 1871, when he was appointed Ambns- sador to London. At the samo timo e held o soat in tho Assembly, and moved the order of the day which led to the resignation of M. Trrers, When MacManon was eleotod, Dr Brootar was made Minister of Foroign Affnirs and Prosident of the Council, but was subsequently driven from power when he attempted to create & now Grand Council in- vosted with power to dissolve the Assombly. With regard to his idea of administering the Governmont, the Now York Evening Post saye t ‘His pecaliar notion, whichhassprungpartly from Tils observation of the working of the English sys- tem when he was tho Freoch Minfeter at London, ombraces the nnion of **popular ™ clections with the centralized and simplo but effective machinery by which the Third Narowrox governed France. .1t will be recallod that NaroLxox the Third used, by the atd of the Church, the **pleblecite™ ns a very offective Instrument of power.

CALIFORNIA AND THE S0UTHERN PACIFIC. The Alta California has beon persunded to cast its voico in favor of n Government subsidy to that part of the Toxns Pacific schomo which the Central Pacific people are olrendy building, and which thoy will cor- talnly complete, snbsidy or no subsidy, Its proposition scoms to have beon inspired by the Central Paciflo ownars, since it excludes Toxt Scorr virtually, and is in the naturo of an offer to toke whataver it can got s so much gain for tho Central Paciflo poople. ‘Thus it cuts off tho bid for subsidizing tho. ‘branches (smounting to nearly 1,200 milos) which conatitute that part of the sohomo that especially interests the Bouthorn pooplo. 0Of the 1,200 miles of main lino that romain to bo comploted, it suggests that tho 500 miles maoning through Texas, which form a part of Tox Boorz's share in the ontorprise, are not entitled to any Govornment oid, or vory little if any,. bocanso the Govern- mont does not own lands in Texos, ond becauso tho Stato bas already beon liboral with its lands; this loaves 700 miles running through Now Moxico and Arizona, and the Alla Culifornia suggesta that o sub- sidy of 820,000 & milo bo satisfactory, in- stoad of tho £356,000 a mile which have here- tofore boon demanded. Of conrso, it doosn't care anything about the Snn Diego connec- tion, ns tho ambition of San Franclsco and tho Contral Pacific poople fa simply to con- nect tho former city with tho interesta of Arizona, Now Moxlco, and the northern part of Moxico, as also with the' -Bouthorn States ultimatoly, Mr. Tox Scorr and his South. orn frionds will probably rogard this as an extromely narrow and sclfish proposition, which it probably is; to tho public it is sim- ply n now indication that the Contral Pacific s golng ahosd with the work, and in tho meantimo will make what offort it can to so- curn Governmont aid, cither large or small, 88 80 much cloar gain, If the presont Congresafalrly reprosents tho peoplo in this mattor, it will morely keep hands off nnd allow tho Contral Pacific peoplo to proceedi with the work. They bave already construoted 700 miles of rond, south ond east from San Franoleco, have passed Fort Yumn, aud crossed the Colorndo River to Gila Oity. Thoy have their stecl rails and have made all nocessary preparn tions for pushing tho road this year through to Tucson, o distanceof over 200 miles furthor on the lino of tho Toxas I'scifio, When they reach fucson, tho samo considerations which bhave Indaced thom to go that far will induco thom to keep on further. Thoy will build a Bouthern Pacific Railrond substantially and oconomlcally a8 a private business enter- prise, leaving the Southern cities and Statos to tako such advantage of it as they soo fit by conatructing connecting branches. Theso Central Pacifio peopla havo tho capital and tho pluck to go ahoad. Thoy have tho tremendouns ndvantago of operating on Qovernment capital now, ‘They have in tholr hands® §30,000,000 of Govornment money on which they do not ovon pay inter. cst excopt in the way of remitting one-half the componsation for the scrvices thoy ron- der the Govornment. Thoy aro not in the loast ombarrassed by the mortgage, which not ouly hos many years to run, but s o socond mortgogo at that.

A TUREISH COUNTER-MOVEMENT. The captare of Sookgoom.Kaloh by tho Turks s an event of no ordinary importgnco s affooting the Russian compaign in Arme- nia, whils in Constantinople it is regarded of such consequonce that tho Sheik-ul-Islam hns conferred a now titlo upon the Sultan. ‘The placo Haoll is of little consequenco ox- copt as it gives the Turks a foothold upon TRussian sofl. It ia a small seaport town on tho ecastern shoro of the Black Sea, in tho Provinco of Abasfa, Tho Turks bombarded it on the sen-front on the 1Gth inst., and fired the town, compolling the Russions to ovacuate it. Snbsoquontly they offected & landing. Tho Russiana attempted to regain their position, but wero forced back to Gan- gorn with heavy loss. By reference to tho map it will bo soon that the town itself i in closo proximity to the railroad from Poti to Tiflis. If, as recent dispatches nssert; tho objective point of the 'Turks is Kutals, then theintontion of the Turks to break this rond and disturb tho communica- tions of the Russian forces, not only thoso epernting against Batoum but the force in- vesting Kars and threatening Erzeroum, is ovidont. There is another danger in this commection whicl s still moro threatening. Dispatches in our last issuo stato that an ox- pedition of four transports, four iron.clads, ono dispatehs boat, five batteries of artillery, and 10,000 troops hoa left Constantinoplo. Tho expedition, besides soveral mountain battories, takos 50,000 rifles for distribution in Circassia, The Circassian provinces, eapo- cially thoso gouth of tho Caucasus, which Russin captured with so much diffieulty, have always been moro or less disaf- focted, sud, now that war las broken out, havo risen in insurrection, The Turks, quick to.porceive their advantago, have im- proved it by sending this powerfal expedi- tion to encouraga the robels and supply them with materfal of war, with the expeatation of hindering, it not paralyzing, tho opera- tions of the invading anny in front by cnt- ting off their communications, and putting into the flold not only a atrong dotachment of their own troapd, but a larga force of tho warlike Oircasslans, at whose hoad Bomawyy #0 long dofled tha Russians. ‘This maaterly movement of the Turks, if they succeed in carrying it out, may for a time hamper tho operations in front, snd oven necessl tate the withdrawal of ' troops from Batoum and Kars to meot the enemy in tho rear and preserve its communications, The danger, however, is only temporary, oven if the expedition should aucceed in fomenting a genora! insurrection. - Tho Rus. sians are not clogged now as they have boen in formor wars, when they had no roads, Their rallroad communication with the Cau. casus is perfoct, and roinforcoments can be thrown into Georgis and all that section -south of the mountains insido of a week in suflicient forco to overcome the rebellion. The new clectrio light perfected by the Rus. sian sciontist, M, Japrocoxore, an nccount of which was given in our last iswmo, bids fair to work a revolution in modes of illum- ination, The great diffloully herotoforo has beon to subdivide tho clectric curront so ns to produco a number of lights from ono gourve, every attempt resulting in burning off tho carbon polnls whon thoy como in contact with tho oxygen of the air, The in- vontor haa overcoma this difficulty by de. signing nu electrio candlo in which he dis- penses nltogother with the carbon poiuts, which constitutes the wick, and naing only tho outer surrounding subatance which cor- responds to the tallow of the candlo,—in this caso composed of A materjal into which kaolin largely outors, Dy tho use of this materin! he has snccoeded not only in keeping np a clear, steady light, but has produced 28 many aa fifty constant and uniform lights from n singlo machine, The discovory hns al- ready beon patentod and agoncies eatablishod 1n England and France, and theleading papers of both countries aro onthusinstio over tho resulta obtained by the inventor. For light- ing halls, depots, public buildings, and all spartmenta whore a large amount of light is neodod, it scoms destined to suporsode oll other iluminating material. It it ghall prove to Dbe economical, can be produced chenply, s simple in _its working, and not dangorous to property, it must como into general use, Ponding such timo, tho gns companiea can be reflccting with profit upon tho inflnenca this now com- .petitor may chanoe to bave upon their busi. neas, A decislon by the Govornment of tho ques- on of representation nt tho Paris Exhibition f 1878 is raquirod at once, ns spaco for tho {Jnitod States hna been set apart, and a {lefinito angwor as to whothor tho space will 0 occupied must bo given at once.
