This prohibition extends to nnd Includes alt imported goods sent in seated cars from any of the Eastern ports to Western citles, in bond, over any of the routes passing through Canada. Tho Canadian ronds thus prohibited from doing business with the United States are tho Great Western, the Canada Southorn, and the Grand Truk Rallways, It will be seven that the object and purpose of the act is twofold: to perpetuate and strengthen the New York ratlway monopoly, and, seconily, to destroy tho {mportation- in-bond bustness, ‘fhe whole New York trade and the New York Custom-llouse ant tho Treasury Department have always stren- wously opposed the direct importation by tho Western citics, and the shipment of imported goods in seated cars to Western cites fins always been opposed. Hurd’s bill was orig- Inally imited to the transportation of any goals to or from any part of the country to another through Canada, but so soon ng this ‘DH! got before tho Democratic Committee of Ways and Means {t was-reforred ton sub- committes of which Fernando Woot: was made Chairman, and that Individual {mme- ately produced a written report in the form of anow Dill prohibiting even tho trauspor- tatton of {mported merenantlse from New York or Boston to Chicago {n sealed cars through Canada, The joint attorneys of the railroads and the New York fhnporters, and of the Walt street gantblera In railroad stocks, have thrust this bill before the coun- try. Itts to be hoped that the sentiment of tho people will stamp all the agents in this dishonest scheme with. the condemnation they deserve, ‘Lhe pretext given for this scheme fs that Canada Mas at sone timo issued orders pro- hibiting the transportation of disensed cattle from tho United States through that country. Tho fact that cattle oflicted with plouro- pneumonia have been prohibited fs not a very serious breach of international comity, Such catfls woul not be permitted to be brought into this country; and, indeed, ent- Ue afllicted in that manner are not permitted to be taken from ono State, to another of this country, But the prohibition of diseased enttle and hogs furnishes no Justification for tho prohibition of dry goods, groceries, stecl."| Talls, salt, or other merchandise. Must tho whole Amartean people be dented the privi- lege of having boots and shoes, cotton and woolen manufactures, and other merchan- diso transported in cars from New England over tho Canadian railways because tho Canadian Governinent excludes disensed hogs and eattla? Why not exclude passengers also? Wo print this morning tho Intest regula- tions of the Canadian Government upon tho subject of moving American cattle ant hogs from ono point in thiscountry to another over tho Canadian railways. Wo print the regulations, which are twoleld: First, there 43 aaquarantine established at all the Cona- titan seaports for tho inspection of all cattle, sheep, and hogs Imported from Europe, Sec- ond, a like Inspection of all cattle and hogs inken into Canada from this country to be transported in bond to some other part of tho United States, the same to be declared free pf «disease before being allowed to proceed, and subjected to all the precautions ngalnst disease or the sprending of dlsenso that the elreumstances may suggest. ‘The prohibl- tions apply both to cattle imported from Europe as well as to those taken into Cana dn from the United States, ‘Tho regulations ttre substantially the same, and the prohibi- tions of transportation apply exclusively to diseased cattlo and hogs. Healthy enttto and hoga, beyond being subjected to inspection, can pass through Canada in bond ng freely fs they can pass from ‘Toledo to Now York. ‘Tho bill and the report concocted by Fer- nando Wood {3a fraudulent scheme to cover Up dishonesty; itia.an abuse of the powers and machinery of legislatlon to promote stock-Jobbing and other corrupt mensures, and to atrongthen the extortions which the Tatlroad combination havo practiced upon the producers, in his report, Fernando Wood writes that the Grand ‘'runk Rallrond, ono of the lines affected by this bill, has not afforded any such competition with Amerlean rons ag will render Its exclualon of any concern, ‘Tho Grand Trunk Hne has not had a direct connection with Chicago for moro than ten ftays.

It will deprive the people of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, lllnols, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michizan, Minnesota, Dakota, and Missourl of the beneilts of one of the great trunk lines directly extending to New England, It 1s a disgrace to the American Congress anid to the leading Committes of the Mouse of Representatives thut such a bill, concocted so notortousty for dishonest purposes, should have been fathered by a man holding the post of Chairman of that Committee, Should tho Dill ever reach the House, that body shoul vindicate its own honor by Instantly reject ing it. ee . AN EX-COLORED cere ‘V6. GEN, 6HER- Gen, Sherman gets very hot about the Whittaker cause, Remembering Gen, Boyne ton, tho Journalist who has glyen. him so imuch trouble, he denounces the newspapers: vigorously, declaring that they “ print nine ty-ninv Hes to one truth,” and that thelr erlt- ielsnis of the Wost Point administration aro “unwarranted and indefensible!’ ‘The Gon: tral cliims to holt a position of judicial equinolso, and ho is always funny when ho is disinterested, Itls just mbout as ensy tor Gen. Sherman to consider a question judi- cinily ns for a bystander not to take sides Ina dog-tight, He sees only one side of a question, and stares go intently at ft that to all othor sides ho ts as blind a8 bat, and if anybody has the nudacity to sce tho other side he settles tha case by calling him a “Har.” Ninety-nine newspapers out of a hundred have denounced the whole conduct of tho West Point adintnistration touching the Whittaker cause as ghuracterized by in- justice and bad falth; henes Gen, Sher- may says that iu ninety-nine casos out of a hundred the press “Iles.” Gen, Sherman relles imphieltly upon the “honor” of the WestlVotnter, whether entet or offleer. Mo forgets that at the outbreak of the Inte War treason to tho flag was common among West Potnt graduates, both in and outof thearmy, while In the rank and Mle not one traitor was found! It does not necessarily mako a boy honorable to send him to any college; and the theory adopted at West Voitit by its cam- mandant and his subordinates, that the man charged with a vite erine will confess ft, if guilty, when required to do so, provided ho happens to be a West Potnt cnet placed upon his honor, fs very absurd. In advane cing this theory, and nequitting the eadets of suspleon on the ground of thelr dental, the oflicers of West Point have Ind themselves open to the stispiclon of utter bad falth In the Investigation, In subserlbing to this ridiculous theory at the outact Gon, Schofielil gave noticoto the country that tha Court of Inquiry would ‘not allow the outrage of which Whittaker was tho victim to rest upon the cadets of tho institution; and in making the announcement he drew upon himself the deserved contempt of his aud! ence, which comprised the whole country, In taking this view of tho caso the press fs entitled to nelthor pralse nor blame, altce Its discussion of the subject is merely an echo of public sentient. Gen, Sherman’s effort to show that there {sno color projidica in the army because ho shook hands with Filppor, the first colored graduate, iy very weak. THs inference therefrom that, because there {3 (as alleged) no color prejudice in the army it follows that thore is none at West Point, Is flatly negatived by the undisputed fact that colored calets have been systematically and untversally ostracised, soclally, tn that Inati- tution from the start. Cadet Andrus adinit- ted “on his honor” that lo protested against, Whittaker’s “falling In” alongside him, and warned hint to “stop It? But wo have bet- ter evidence on this point ‘he Inte colored cadet Nopler hus given tho public somo leaves from hts note-book of, experiunces ab the institution which Gen, Sherman aflirms isfreo from color prejudice. According to Nupler, tho difficulties of tho col- ored}fendet did not ond with social ostracism. At the mess-table hoa was referred to playfully as “the d—d nigger” and “tho d——d moke.” Napter says when recreating ho and his colored friend Smith tpon meeting the “honorable” whitecadets were treated to expressions of this sort: “Here come thosod—n mokes, Give ’em therond. Standastde, Let tho d—n stink- ing nlggers pass.” Napter's friend, Smith, ones broke a cuconnut dipper over the head of one of the “gentlemanly” white cadets in response to an Insult of the class men- tloned, whereupon ho (the “moke’) was tried by court-martial and proved a liar on the testimony of white endets, who, accord- ing to the theory of Gen. Schofield, always confess tholr little sins when put upon their “honor”! Mr. Napier probably knows moro about West Point customs and iman- ners than Gen, Sherman, and the ex-colored. cadet suis up in this rnther vigorous stylo: Honor at West Point isa myth. Deception, hypoerlay, and ortelty run riot. Fair play ts unknown. Oflicurs and cadets unite to crush every colored man that dares to darken tho loorof tho Acadomy, and if, a8 in tho enso of Whittaker, ho has nerve enough to stand It the whole torm, thoy will conspire to dlegrace and dismiss him at hist. Tho infernal abuses should: ha cured, or the Institution ground to powder, for it is a standing disgraco to tho flag it Is do- algned to honor and perpotunte. INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT, Tre Tninune has received a clrensar from tho International Literary Association, which has an efiice in Paris, requesting an ox- pression of opinion on the subject of inter- national enpyright. All the lending ,news- papers in America lidve been favored in the samo way. A good deal can be sald on both sides of this question; and, as the Interna- tlonal Literary Assoctation will probably hear most from the journals in entire sym- maithy with its views, Tie Trimune will undertake -to stato some of the objections to InternatlonaPcopyright which are commonly entertained In this country. ‘The Association repeats and adopts the cardinal principle of the Paris Congress of 1878 that “Intellectual property is ag sacred and as‘much to bo respected as all other property.” This is, indeed, tho Jogien! basis of all demands for Inter- national copyright But as a principle 16 {s.nob gound. ‘Intellectun! property,” in fact and practice, .!s not “as sacred ag othor property.” ‘The reasons why itis not soaroe very plain. Intellectual property ts not tangible, not transferable, and searcely Gefunble, Ibis not kely that any six mom- bors of the International Association can tgreo upon a definition of it that will be sat- lufactory to a majority of that body. Propor- ty Is something that a man owns by right of purchase, gift, Inheritance, or Inbor, Itiso material thi, or tho representative of a thing, or the usufruct derived from a thing, It must be capable of description and {denti- fiention, It is something that can be sold, or given away, or bequeathed, and rotaln its original qualities without regard to owner- ship. ‘Lhe phrase “intellectual property ” is almost a contradiction in torms, For, ne- cording to the torms of the proposition, tho chiof rights of ownership must artse after tho thing referred to has been published and sold, or, in other words, mado common property. ‘Truo “intellectual property,” If any auch oxists, must be the product of tho Intellect before It has been published or disposed of to the public, ‘The tight to a perpotual propriotary Interest in Utorary, musical, or artistlo productions has never beef recognized by any Government. Copyright of all kinds is limited. ‘The pub- Neo gootl and the {ntereats of the many have been so far consulted that atthe expiring of a porlod, longer or shorter, according to cir- cumstatces, the works of any author may bo reprinted by anybody, Hence the property- rights of ‘autho in thelr productions after publleation are’ dented by the very laws which give thom Iimited protection, No argument can be advanced In favor of international copyrightas a right which ensi- not be urged with equal force in favor of perpetual copyright, If {ntellectual prop- erty were fndeed “ property,” as we under- stand tho word, descendants of Shakapeare might now be chjoying # monopoly of tho solo of his Immortal plays, and tho Laws of Moses might bo accessible only In n gilt edged edition at the clreulating Hbraries, Tho chcouragenent of authors is 0 logiti- mato and useful funetion of Government, But the promotion of tha public good Ia ine comparably a greater and higher duty, As considerations of the public good have Mmlt- ed theduratlon of copyright, so they may nvall to init the scope of copyright. Expe- dicney and national Interest are, therefore, proper motives to urgeiu a discussion of this question, g At would clearly not bo for the Interest of tho people of the United States to tax thom. selves heavily for thobenolit of a fow forelgn authors, ‘This country bas the largest read- ing population In tho: high-class reading matter than several natlons of Europe, An international copyright would bo an unparalleled sacrifice of the ma- terlal and {ntellectual interests of 48,000,000 people In this country for the benefit of a few persons in Europe, It would be a tax onthe comfort and the Intelllgence of the peo- plo, not compensated In any sulficient way by the advantages our authors would derlye from an intornatlanal ’ copyright. It would cut off a largo propor- ton of Ameriean roadors from all the cure rent European Mterature of tho day, Ex- pensive books would supplant all the chonp editions. Selentitie and professtonal studles would be limited and discournged. Reeren- fon, Improvement, and instruction would be terribly burdened.
