Mr, Iesny's Berau’s sympathy for the lower animals has not taught him to have ahy maudlin sentiment for criminals. In his speech in New York somo days ago be- fore the Prison Reform Association, he made au ingenious argument in favor of the whipping-post and bastinade, His radienl views spread dismay among his henrers, who had como together to glorify erlminals, But do thoy not seem to show that nearefulstudy af the habits of the lower animals tends to beget scorn and hatred for the vices of man- kind? WeSrenn Republicans: will be’ impartial Witnesses to the fine points of the conilict be- tveen Commissioner Raum and Scoretary Sherman, The Secretary drew first blood when he cut off some of tho Commissioner's patronage. But Raum must be awarded the first knockdown. His masterly report on the delinquencies of lls official superior Is 0. selentifle and telling blow in tho region of what the reporters eall “ tho bread-basket.” We shall look for tho results of the next round with deep concern. The morale and eficlenicy of the Treasury Department will, it 1s thought, be mich fmproved by these friendly encounters without gloves, ‘Tue Penco Conferonee at Arica betweon representatives of Chill, Peru, and Bolivia, , under tho ausplees uf tha-United States Ministers to thoso countries, was highly in- teresting, but resulted in nothing. The de- mands of Chill, while they seem on first view excessive, ara not really so, except possibly astothe Indemnity, It was stipulated that the regions south of Camarones, Includlag tho most valuable nitrate doposits, should be absolutely annexed to Chill, Peru and Bollvia would thus be deprived of one large sures of revenue, and be less ablo than they otherwise might beta meet the money pay- ments demanded of them as war Indemnity under the second article of the protocol, The hilian Cominisstoners put the Indemnity at 20,000,000, of which $4,000,000 were to bo patd in cash. Tho ports of Arlea, Tactun, and Moqueaus were to be retained ‘until all the obligations of the treaty wero complicd with, I¢ 1s evident that Chit will Insist upon tho retention of the territory on account of which the war was urged, and which it now holds, Some abatement of tho money demand might be obtalned If the other concession wera made, But Peru and Bolivia ore unwilling to, surrender any territory, and perhaps unable, afters long and exhausting war, to pay the money re- quired of thom. ‘Twonty million dollars, it must bo remembered, 1s un appalling sum to & South American Republic, So the terms were réJected, unhappily it would scom for Pern and Bolivia, Chit has both tho other Governments completely at Its morey, {ts forces wero at last avcounts on thoir way to Lima, A proposition to submit the whole ] question of the terms of peace to the United Btates for arbitration was rejected by the Chillan Commissioners, eee Tue enactment of a Nations! Bankrupt low Is vigorously discussed in soma of the legal publications of tha country, and, Ino Jocal paper of this city, Mr, Van Buren Denslow clalms that it is possible to have & new Inw, embogled in a fow sentences, which will be easy of execution, mexpunsive, and emlnently just, Ifo clalms that tho wisest and inost effective principle of a bankrupt law fs tobe found In the Roman Jaw, the substance of which Is ‘to bo found In tho following statement: ‘This consisted in tho form of oxcoution ro- fortad to whanover the exceution ereditar mide the proper suggestion that the debtor ugainat Whom he wag about to tasue the writ of execu You bud not sulticloat asdets to pay bis dobis, Ju kuch caso a welt known ua bonorun ciptis per Univerattatom (for tho sale of thu debtor's entive Property) was lasued., Under Jt tho entire prop erty of tho dublor was put up at aucdon, and struck olf to the responululs person who tn con aideration of wiving Jt would undertake to pay tho largest ferountage on the eluting of att tho creditors. Of course tho debtor should have the game opportunity, as iu our proceedings in {nvoluntary bangruptey, to prove. thitbe ig not. an Iuvalvent, und therefore not tho proper pore won for this Sorin of execution to ivsue usalnst, If the dabtor sustuings this polnt the creditor should be remitted to the ordinary remedy by execution uyuiust so puch of the debtors prap- griy agahall suilicy te vay the purtioulae debt tor which the execution la fssucd. ‘The Engiteh law, it is claimed, is the model on which all tha American laws have been founded, und its maln object is to create places, multiply costs, and consume estates ‘through the rapaclty of tho oiticers of the low, ‘Tho experience of the Amertvan bank- Tuptey courts lina been thata dishonest ban! ruptcan compel lis creditors to necept al- inost any terms of settlement by offering the alternative of going through the bankrupt court and having nothing loft with which to make a dividend. ‘Tho suggestion now fs, thatthe bankrupt’s estate shallatonce bo delivered over to’ his creditors to be man- aged by thom, asin mero matter of business, tho property tobe sold, and converted and divided in one-fourth of the time it now takes to getn bankrupt ease falrly started In the bankrupt court: Joux Ketiy has celebrated the last days of his bosaship by appearing before n Legislative Committes and giving his views on muntelpal reform, {einformerd the Committee that he was utterly opposed to reducing tho pay of Aldermen, which Is now $3,000 per an- unt, for the renson that It commonly takes one-half of this sum to get elected. Io dla not explain what proportion of the election expenses were absorbed by spoils organiza: tions Itke Tammany Ini, but itis notorious that a large share goes in that direction, Now, ns to the pay of Aldermen, these things are self-cvittent: ‘That men disposed to bo corrupt will not to kept virtuous by $2,000 per annum; that the payment of salaries causes men who own little or no property to serainble for the offtees, nnd Increases tho election expenses enormously, If the Alder- men of Now York were not sataried, the av- erage election -exponses would be less. Of course there fs much to be sald on tho othor stile of the question, but noton tha grounds that the Boss of New York lns stated, Dniristi Conustn1a Is still a thorn in the sideof tho Dominion Government. Dy the terins of the Confederation between tho Proy- snee and the Dominion, the General Govern- ment agreed to push to nspeedy completion a rallway from the Paclfie towards the Rocky Mountains, It further bound Itself, by a later agreement, to build a branch on. Van- eouver Island, from Esquimault to Nanal- mo, about seventy miles in all, Tho fatter stipulation was recognized by the Home Gov. ernment asa vital part of tho compact, and nereed to formally by both: partiss in this country. Yet the Dominion Governmenthas totally failed to comply with tho condition, It now shows an Intention to abandon this braneh entirely, having Intely removed the ralls which had been sent forward for tho work on Vancouver Istand, and omitted the lino from Esquimault to Nanal- mo from its now synillente arrange ments. In view of these proceedings the Inhabitants of Vancouver Island have drawn up a very energetle protest, which ts circulated in printed form, significantly cnough, through the nowspaper-oflices of the United States. Tho Vancouverltes say that they would rather bo placed In the same po- sition to tho British Crown as Newfound- Innd than remain a part of the Dominion without tho fulfillment of the terms of Con- federation, But It Is evident they would tathor join thelr fortunes with those of the United States than ba reduced to a choleo between tho Dominion and the condition of Newfoundland. Vancouver Istand and Brit- ish Columbia would be valuable nequisitions to the United States. Tho Province is more han self-supporting. Parts of {t are very fertile, There fg an excellent harbor on Van- eouver Island which the United States would not object to having, and the coal thera would be convenient for the Pacific Coast squadron, THE ILLINOIS SUIP-CANAL, ‘There lg one thing to which the people of Chicago and ItMnols, and Indeed all people inthe West who aro Interested in tho trans- portation question, may ns well make up thelr minds—viz,: that there ls no prospect thattho United States Governmont, through Congress, will take any steps toward the construction of « ship-canal connecting the lukes and the Mississippt River until thoState of Ilinojs shall have invested the title and control of the HNnols & Michigan Canal in tho General Government. Now that the ico has-boon broken tho Improvement of the Mlinols River will probably be ropre- sguted annually in the River and arbor bill to a small extent as compared with tho bounties bestowed upon nameless creeks and mountain streams, but the canal scheme proper will receive no recognition at the hands of Congress until the State of Illnols shall haye divested Itself of the exclusive property right which was emphatically asserted In the now coustitutional provision which prohibits the selling or leasing of the canal, The Iltnols Legisiature must ba generous and give away the ennal; and this generosity, however selfish 1t may be, must bo inanifested before Congress will oyinco any dlaposition to foster the schomo ofashipeanal, Itis useless to urge in nd- yancu tho historic yaluo that attaches to tha ‘undertaking or tho obvious advantages that would result to commerce if Congress, which has so imany demands upon it from allsvetlons of the country for the improve ment of waterways, chooses to maintain that tho United Stutes Government would bo a trespasser under the present condition if It should undertake to widen and deopen a canal to which the State of Iinols clalina some ownership, The first step, then, In tho dfrection of a shipcanal between tho Inkos and the Misslssippt, utilizing tho Chicago River, the Illtnols & Michigan Canal, and the Llinois Rlyer, is the transfor of the canal to the Gefieral Government. ‘This transfer may be made conditionally to Login with, but the overture In any caso must come from the State, ‘There ls another condition precedent to tho construction of tha proposed canal, Tho Iitinols delegation must preaunt a solid frout in demanding the improvement. Subsidy, like kissing, gous by favor, whether it Is lumped in the River and = Harbor bIN, or has tho distinction, or rather tho notorloty, of a separate measure, Tho iniluenco of gvographical boundaries or imaginary nes is nowhere mory Important than in the partition of Government funds, ‘The merit of tho IiMnols shipcanal «oes not count for nently so much Inn division of spolls na the united at- litudeot aState delogation which Is pro pared to expose and reslat every uther pro~ vosud Improvement so long as Its own schemo ahatl bo neglected. ‘This is practical politics, Unfortunately, thore is no promisa of & wnanimous effort on the part of the IM hols delegation 60 longas the membors from Egyptshall bo bound up in Bourbon traditions and shall remard St. Loula, Instead of Chi- cugo, as the metropolis of thelr State, Bo fore these gentlemen can bo-conyerted, it may bu necessary to make Congressional cons teats a aurt of local strugglu.

'Tho Interest consisted mainty In the united effort of tho ex-Confederncy represented on the floor of Congress to corner and embar- rass Mr. Robeson, who spoke on behalf of the Republican resistance to tho proposed joint rule governing the couut of the Elect- oral vote. This effort falled, ‘The Ingenuity of the Southern leaders, aided by Mr. Cox, was not equal to the tnsk of confusing the Issue. Mr, Robeson's ground for opposing the Morgan rule fs more tenable than that taken by Mr. Keifer. Ho didnot maintain thatany discretionary power is lodgeil by tho terms of tho Constitution in tho hands of the Vice- Presktent, but contended with greater forea that any construction which would exclude the Vico-Prestdent from such discretion in counting the Presidential vote would ecr- tainly exclude the two Houses of Congress, a. bare quatation of the constitutional pro- vision will serve to show this, It reads: ‘Tho Prosident of tho Sennte shall, in tho presence of tho Senate and louse of iepre- rentatives, opon wil tho cortificutes, and the votes shail bo counted, The direction herein glyen 13 purely minis- torial, wherens the rulo proposed by. tho Democrats seeks to confor judicial authority upon Congress. Mr, Robeson, who {3 n clear speaker, 0 good lawyer, and n ready debater, defined tho distinction between the legislative and judiclal function In such manner that the Democrats, though unwilling to acknowl- edge St, could no longer intelligently combat ordeny it. Iu admitted that Congress has the power by process of tegislation to\ pro- vide a competent tribunal for passing upon disputes as to the Electoral votes, but de nied that it hag any authority to assume the judicial function itself In platy ylointion of tha constitutional require- ment that all “the judicial power of tho United States shall be vested In one Suprome Court and In such inferlor courts as the Con- Rressinay from time to time ordain and es- tablish.’ Ie showed how in the absence of stich tribunal the ministorinl duty of the Vice-President and of tne two Houses of Congress ag witnesses Involved the accept- anes and counting of the Electoral votes upon tho prima facia evidence of cor- rbctness, as protected by tha vurlous safeguards which the Inw hag Dro- vided, and subject to/such judicial review as tho Constitution provides. Ife also pointed out that, even if the two Iouses of Congress had the right to roject or affirin judicially the votes as returned, the rule as proposed would be nan Infraction of such right, sinco it would enable elthor one of the tivo Houses to oxerclso that power. ‘The Republienns tn the Mousa are not in tho attitude of resisting « propor settlement of the vexed question of counting tho Etect- oral voto, ‘They aro opposing a proposition for an Impropor and unfalr method of roach- Ing a settloment, Tho whole question reverts to the position outlined In- Tire Tumuse of yesterday, ‘The defect is In tho Constitution, and can only be cured by a change In tho ore ganic law. Senntor Morgan, who originated the rule now under discussion In the House, scoms to admit this mucl, élnce he offered in tho Sonate yesterday a jolnt resolution pro- iposing ‘a constitutlonal amendment giving Congress tho authority to cstablish rules and regulations for certifying, trans- mitting, recclying, and opening Elec- toral votes, and for counting tho samo and declaring tho result, subject only to the provision that no change in such laws shall bo enacted within ono year before the thne fixed for the appointmont of Electors in any State. The Democrats In tho House will do well to adopt Senator Morgan’s advanced Idea, rather than Insist upon an immature schome which he seoms to haya abandoned, If thoy fail to take this course thoy will soon forfeit all public confidence In thelr vromisé that tho present session should be dovoted to business to tho exclusion of politics, = A SENSIBLE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT, Atemperance meeting was held in Boston last week that promises to exert n healthy Intluence In curing the evil of intemperance, first, because It was attended by many of the Ablest and moat Influential men in Now England, and, second, beenuse tts action Is based upon practical and common-sense Ideas, ‘This action is in tho nature of an expert. ment,—it might be called a Yankeo notion, though the thoury Is not a newone, It hns frequently beon urged M tho columns of Tun ‘Taimuny, and lias been advocated by many temperance inon who are not prohibitloniats or tectotalors, At this meeting tho Goy- ornor of the State presided, and tha Boston Postmaster was one of the Vice-Presidents, whllo among the speakors wore the Rey, Mr, Duryea, ot Brooklyn, and the Roy, James Freomun Clarke, ‘Tha general sentiment of tho meeting was favorable to temperance rather than to total abstinence, and the Rev, Mr. Clarke gave expression to {t In advo cating temperanco . saloons,—"' brighter, warmer, ploasapter than the drinkingsaloons, with plengant music, coffee, luger-beer, rooms for smoking, reading-rooms, with on= tertalning lectures and stereoscople pletures,” In othor words, Mr, Clarke's saloon would bes saloon without whisky or other spirltu- ous lquors, and made otherwise attractive, with pleasant reading, music, aud popular entertainments, ‘Thore can hardly bon doubt of tho prac- tleal success of temperancs saloons of thig kind, provided thoy are mado attractive, nor !y thore any doubt that thoy would doa great work for temperance, “I'he world would un- quesllonably be n great deat-“bettor off it thore were no Iquor in Itai, If that could be effected by prolyjbition, we should have no objuctlon to thay'form of temporence crusad- lug; but prohibition has been tried long cnough to show thatit cannot be enforce by political machinery. ‘That belng tho ease— and no one but an lmpracticable fanatle will dispute It—the next duty ts to try some thing of a practicul kind that will gutago- nico intemperance to the greatest pos- sible oxtent, The Boston temperance ro- formers have hit upon the plan to reduce, If not to eradicate, tho evil of whisky-driuking, It is’ the do- not only the drinking people of tha com: muntty.—that is, those who drink to excess, —butifle temperance people—that 18, those who drink moderately and keep sober,—ar- rayod agninat It, because it not only stirlkes at what is really an evil, but interferes with the rlglits of those who do not believe thelr. course Is ovil, and cnnnot be convinced of It. The caso may be stated thus: One man out of (en drinks too nich, and 1s on the road to tho rut of himself and Its family, ‘There upon threo ont of tha nino remaining, to gure 145 one, Invade the rights of tho other 81k who drink only mtd beverages, and those temporality, and who are not gulity of any erlino against themselves, their families, or society. ‘Thus the four tevtotaters who seck to Impose prohtbjtlon on the tenth man who drinks too much. apply thofr rule to flye temperate men who drink in moderation and mind their own business. By pitraulng this Intermedating course the threo prolilbl- tlonists array seven men against them. As prohibition will nover be accepted, as It never yet hins met with snecess except In lso- luted rural tnstances, and né thers is n strong temperance feeling among tho ‘majority, of people who do not carry drinklig to excess, the prohibitionists ought to take this power- ful clement Into account, and, instead of an- tagonlzing them and thereby thwarting thotr own purpose, they should jotn hands with them In a common offort, Itke thatso sensibly proposed in Boston, United in this way, they couk! aecomplish an Immense work in reduce ing tho evils of Intemperance, So long, how- over, a3 they persist In their extreme policy of stopping one person from intoxication by saying to half n dozen others, who never get intoxleated, that they shalt not drink at all, not even beer and wines, then they nrust ex- peet thelr efforts to amount to nothing. THE CHINESE TREATY, Tho oficial text of tho proposed treaty with China hag not“been recelyed, but tho general features of 1f are well known. The Chinese Government was prepared to meet the American Commission moro. than half way In fnpoaing restrictlons upon the eml- gration of Chinese to the United States. ‘tho Fifteen-Passonger bill has been substantially putinthe form of 1 treaty; and hereafter the representatives of the United Statos in China will have the hearty codperation of the native authorities in all efforts to check emigration, But tho most interesting part of tho treaty relates to the opium trafile, ‘The American Commissloners, It Is reported, agreed to an articly which expressly prohibits citizons of the United States from engaging in tho Chiness opium trade. ‘Iho trenty, thore- foro, has. the appearance of n com- promise, while in reality It partakes moro of tho nature of an exchange profitable to both sides, The Chineso Government does not wish Its subjects to emigrate, but does desira to have tho Injurious trade In oplum stopped; the United States do not wish any of tholr citizons to pander to tha appetites of degraded Chinese, butdo very much desire the exclusion of-serylle Inbor from the West- orn States and Territories. So each country cheerfully surrenders x privilege which it dovg not care to enjoy and gets In exchange a valuable oxemption, ‘Tho motives of the Chinese Governmontiin including s stipulation against tho opium trudein.the new Atmerlcan treaty aro not hard to understand, Such an agreement will give tho Chincso an cnormous leverage against Groat Britaln in further efforts for the regulation of the opium trade between British India and China, When the ‘United States seta tho example it will be difficult for Great Britain not to follow, or to justify its refusul so to do, *” - ‘The traMlo in oplum which Great Britain has authorized and encouraged in its Indian doependonetes is, and always has been, moral-, ly indefensible. ‘The English Government, though making greater pretensions to moral- ity than any other on carth, has nover at- tempted to justify this infamous business ex- cept on the lowest economie grounds, It has said simply that the Indian Government could not be maintained without it, The revenue derived from the exportation of oplum from Calcutta to China amounts to nearly $50,000,000 annually, If opiumshould bo shut out from Chinn the Indinn Govern- mont would bo short this sum, and the deflelt would have to be made good by tho homo Government. Great Britain has, therefore, maintained Its right to forca opinm on China, and when tho Government of tho Intter country attempted to prohibit absolutely the importation of optim England went to war about It, and carried tho point. For the sake of its Indian Empire (which is.a gorgeous and extravagant show, kopt up to provide handsomely for genteel adventurers from the British Islands) England has engaged systomatically in debauching tho people of the Chinesa Empire, ‘ho manufacture of opinm In India Is a Government monopoly, and the Goyernmont reaps the whole bene fit of the trade with Chinn, Nearly one- fourth of tho entire Indian revenue Is de- rived from this source, : Bofore and during the War for the Union, British newspapers and public men con- stantly yeproached thy United States for inalntaining the monstrous wrong of luinan slavery, Wet thero wag nothing In that instl- tution more abominable than the oplum-trade which tho Government of Great Britain directly engages in In Indla.* The Govorn- ment of tha United States never owned any alaves, and those owned by Sts ‘eltizons lave been freed, The Government of Great Britain ts every yoar making slavos to an ap petite the most dreadful and destroying of which tho human raco Is capable, And this is done avowedly for so. many milllons of ilollars a year, in tho faco of an adinission that tt ls contrary to tho dictates of religion, honor, and humanity, Itiato bo hoped that the action of tho ‘United States In agreeing to an exeluston of Als citizens from the oplum trado will bring 4 morat pressure to bear upon Great Britain which 1¢ will bo Impossible for tho latter country, sordid and covotous though It be, to realst.’ If thls shall be done, the main object of the Chineso and Amorican Comnilsstoners Inagreolng to this articlo of tho troaty will undoubtedly be accomplished. So nop havo been the adulterators of butir and cheeso and so stupld the publio that the former hayo utterly disregarded tho Jaw against their practice, and tho latter had forgotton there was such o law until It was pointed out the othor day in ‘Tae Truwunxe, Under the nots statute overy man who sells any" sulne,” “butterine,”? “ oleomare garine,” or adulturated cheesa, knowing Itto bo such, without having It properly labeled, and without corrovtly Informing the pure chuser, fs Habla to orlminal prosecution, ‘The Jaw {8 based upon that of England, which covorsevery articlo consumed for food and which van be adulterated, What ty tho req. son that no complaints have, been matte be- fore tho Grand Jury, and why have not the Ingnbors of thy Grand Jury themselyes taken hokd of this mattor? ‘Tho proof {s abundant if they will Only send after it.
