TIIURSDAY, ADPRIL 7, 1818, —_— A crutots fncldent of the late election was the uctive and ostentatlous opposition of a jnrge number of colored voters to the Re- publlcan tlek The nuniber, of negroes who peddled tickets and howled for Har- rison and Jlm Appleton, the doggery-keepar in tha Second Ward, was a subject of very aeneral remurk. The faet was u reflection- tpon the charncter and sincerity of the col ored brother in politics.

Tho ehief fm- portance of the circumstance now Is the in- slteatton that in the future the negroes will < e their political free-lances and soldiers- ot-fortine, and that thers may be still an- othef_element of corruption and *infloos- enee” In electlons, ‘Tne resuit of Chieazo’s city clection Is moro susceptiblo of explanation than that in Ginelnnpti and St, Lonis, ‘The frec-and-visy, clagses arve always on tho alert to defendt their appetites and protect their resorts, The people who are opposed to excesses and de- plore the toleration of vice are slow toag- Rressive assnult on practices which others clalm as privileges.

In the present instaueo the cpmybingd opposition of the Israelites to Mr, Clark seenid to huve boen more than usually unreasonubje. As nearly ag It can bo traced 10 gy cause, it rosted upon soms Indefinit und upauthentleated rimor that at sotie 1n- deflnft thao In n buglness trensaction or luw- guitwith u Hebrew My, Clark hwa made a coptemnptuons romurk about Jows, When tls attentlon was ealled to it Mr. Clurk pro- nounced it fulse, angd denled that he hud quer upplied a dorogatory remark to tho Juw- Ish community, Lut-thero wis na pubile oy open charge of this during the campaign, elge b wmight Lave been decisively refuted, ‘the Jews acted not merely on a rumor, and withuut presontiug the churge to Mr, Clark, but, with a cortaln frovmasoncy, kopt thelr suwed grigvance to thomselves, whispered ijubout from one to another, and plumped thelr votes agalnst Clark for a sup- posed atfront. ‘The Juws, as o clnss, are too Intelligent and toa practical a Beoly to yigld to sentimental cousiderys Gang, aud ft {8 foolish'for thei to do sa for {sAa0us, 0f tave of roligion.

All of the Jews who obscured or stitted thelr political optnlons to Indulge In R race resentment ngafnst an imagiuwry and finprobable Insult swera guilty of very fool- Ist conduet, even from n seltsh point of view. The 1,000 voles, moro or less, which theJows enst against Clark wo uld have been enough to defeat him If the election hind been close, and a very small proportion of the Jewlsh voters In that event conld have justl- tled thelr course even In thetr own minds, Tie seandal fn which Count Herbert, Bismarck’s favorit son, has been concerned scems to have been satisfactorily settled all rouwd, It will bo remembered that ho ran rway with the Countess IHertzfeld, the wife of I'rlnca Cavolath, a woman much older than young Bismarck, nnd the wother of several ehildren. The Prince hns satisfied himself with a docreo of divorce ngalnst his falthless wife. The Count i3 prob- ably satisfied with her, and she with the Count, aud Blsmarck has become recon- ciled to s son. “thie upshot ought to bon sutisfactory one, and it s to be regretted that all such high-ilfe scandals do not have slmllar result.

It was intended, If this conrse was found to be legal, to obtain n temporary loan in this way, and use the pro- ceeds to take up the 8 per cent bonds falling due this summer. After n long examination of the law, the conclusion has been reached that the statuto of 1862 which authorized loans of this eharacter Is not now iu foree, and that plun has, therefore, been aban- oned, The Secretary has concluded to nccept an offer mado to him by tho New York and other banks, and which 13 also open to atl others. ‘Thiese banks hold about $:200,000,000 of the 6 and 5 per cent. bonds, which maturs in May and July, and these banks, insteadt of present- Ing these bonds for payment, otler to hold them under an szreement, to bo utmnncfl on the face of the bonds, that from tHe date ot their fallinge due they shall bear a much lower rate of interest,—this sgreoment,to last untll Congress shall furaish u new bond Into which they inay be refunded, Tie Trensury has at fts disposal 3104,000,~ 000 of bonds which it may issue for refund- Ing purposes, and can lssue them In 4 per cents or 4}y per cents, ‘The lower rato of Interest would, of course, bo preferred were it not thut under the Iaw 4 per cents are not redeemablo short of 1907, while the 44 per cents may be taken up in 1891, Both classes of bonds command a largo premium, the dit- ferenco buing 1n the length of thne before the Government can call them In. Assuming that the 4!< per cents have ten years to run, the aggregate interest on the 104,000,000 will be $40,800,000, while the same nmount of 4 per cents, having twenty-six years to run, would call for an nggregate paymont of In- terest of 108,160,000, For this renson, it Is stated, it has heen consldered moro adyisable te issuo the short-termn 43 per cents n prof- orence to the long-time 4 por sents, Lither of theso two torms of bunds can at this time be sold at 113, or other such preminm as will practically reduce the rate of Interest on. them to 3 3-10 per cent. With the sale of those bonds, and tho use of 560,000,000 of the Sinking and Reserve Funds, and the bonds held over by tho banks, £400,000,000 of the £670,000,000 bonds folling dus will bo taken caro of, leaving to Con- gress, when IL meets, o reduced sum of mnturing debt to be provided for by a new tunding uet. f We thinic the decision as to the cholco be- tween 4% and 4 per cent bonds would be proper enough i€ this Issuv of bonds wero the only debt of the Government.

The candi- dato of the frec-and-ensy classes was defeats ed by 2,500 votes In Cluctnnatl, though =all the uther vandtdntos on the Republicantickot were elected by declded majoritins, whils the candldaté of the same Elasses In Chleago enr- rled the day by 8,000 majority, 1t will not do to conclude on this account that Clueinnati s o wiore virtuous ity than Chleago, for the conditions mny be reversed atsomo future day, The fonly conclusion whieh 1t is safe to draw is that loeal politics is at oncs an unknawn quantity umd a doubt. ful quality; that results cannot be de dueted with assurunce from any given conditions; and that both the white man and the bluck man are vory uneertain when it comes to g elty eleetlon, Such.a concluslos may net be valuablo In its future bearings, but experlence does not suggest any mors useful, The munleipal election In St, Louis was qulte as surprising as that of Chlcaga nr Cin- cinnatl.

The Intest pFoposition in regard toTunts is the establishment of a French protectorate, but maintnining the present Bey and legving him with authority over his Mussulman sub- Jects, In polnt'of fuct, tho French are actu- ally ab war with Tunls, as thelr troops are on the march from Algerla to the Tunisian frontler, and large reinforcements are on thelr wiy from France, The ostensiblocause of these military movements grows out of the ralds of certain mountaln tribes ealled (he Khonming, They Inhabitanarrow strip of country, nhout fifteon miles in whdith and runuing inland sixty miles, which {s covered with dense forests, Owling to tho almost impnssable character of their reglon, they havo never been completely subdued, nid have nlternately ralded tho Algeriang and ‘Tunislans, Ovdinarily the French and the Tunislan troops have ncted together in keeping these trvibes down, Dbut upon this occasion it 1s cinfmed that they crossed over Into the Algerlan territo- serfous depredations, nrged thereto by the Influence of the Italian Consul InTunis, and supported by Ituilan uewspapers, the allezed motive being tho Itallan jealousy of French prestige. The country has had o checkered chreer, In the fifth eentury it was taken by tho Vundals, and a century Inter It passed Into the hands of the Greeks, where it Temalned until the Mohamuniedans overran it In tho seventh century, In the thirteenth contury it achieved fts independence, France made an attempt to tako it in 1350, but failed. . In tho sixtegnth century, It was made tributary to Spaln, but shortly afterwards the Turks conquered it, The Moors, however, enforeed tho right of electing their own Bey, but were compelled to pay tribute to Turkey. Bince that thine, however, its history has not been particularly interesting, except for the severe punishment the Tunisians have received from the Dritish, French, and Ilolland- ers for thelr acts of plracy, Of Into years, the Freneh Influence has heen predominant, aed the present action of the Krench undoubtoly hns for Its ultimate object the annexatlon of the territory, Geographleally speaking, It s a vart of Algerla, ng a glance at the map will show, and Its fncorporation with the French possessions would round out that provineo into symmotrical shape. It would add a very substantial colony to the Afrfean pos- sessions of I'rance, s it has an aren of 45,000 square miles (nenrly the slze of New York State), and n population of 9,000,000 peaple. Commerelally considerod, also, it would he very valuable, s it hasa Iargetrade in dates, ollves, tobacco, cotton, Indige, drugs, and dyes. From its close proximity to Italy much of this trade is absurbed by the Intter, which may account for the Iatter’s jealousy of the French movements. It is only a qudstion of time, however, how soon the entire North Afrlean coast, *from Morocco to Egypt, will come into French hands, They havea firm footing there, and are cven penctrating into tho Snhara region with thelr railronds and contemplating vast schemes for the reelama- tlon of portions of tho .desert. The sooner stich a consummation Is effectod the better, With IFrance In Northern Afrien, England In Sounthern Afilea, and France nid England Juintly adminlstering Egypt, there will bo nothing In the way of the material develop- ment of that wondorful counntry, which hitherta has bean ninjost a sealed continent. THE IRISH LAND BILL The abstract of My, Gladatone’s bill fixing the tenure of lands In Irclana Is not wholly clear in respect to somo of its provislons, The bill is very comprehensive, and makes most liberal regulations for the protection of the occupanis of the soil. 1n the first place, tho statutory term of all leascs Is fixed nt fif- teen yeara, durlng which tho tenant has property In the lense and In the improve- ments ho may make, This proporty, or right of property, the tenant may sell at any time, but ho must first offer 1t to the landlord, ‘Tha Iatter falling to purchnge, then It may bo sold to auy other person. I{ the landlord have any objectiods he may prohibit the sale, but the reasonablencss of the objections must bo determined by a Land Court, which this bilt catablishes, The question what 8 n falr rent mny be determined by this Court. When the Conrt has fixed the rent, thers can be ne disturbance for filleen years, By agreement, a tenancy mny boe fora longer term than fifteen yuears, 1€ tho Court approve, and the Court shall nlsa enforce the ngree- ment. When present tenancies are con- verted Into fixed tenancles, the: rent shall bo revalued at Intervals of fif teen years, Owners of , entalled estates may, In tho nintter of leaslng, anct as If they were the actunl ownors of the property, When the landlord proposes to ralse the rent, the tenant may sell and de- mand a8 part of the value from the land- lord n sum equal to ten times the proposed Incrense capitalized, When tenants devise thele interest in tha land to children or atherd, only ons of the dovisees shull becomb tho accupnnt; this Is to prevent minute divisions of leased ground without the con. sent of the laudlord, ‘Thero shall be no eviotions or compulsory increass of rents oxcept for ennsos fixed by law, This is to prevent landlords compelling tenants to atgn lunses In which they walve all the protections keanted thew by law, "Theso statutory justl- fientlons for eviction aro fallure to pay ront punctually, waste, refusal to submlt to ordi-, nary rights of inspectlon and shootlng, amd subletting or dividing of the leased premises without the written permission of the landlord. ANl the provislens of the act of 180 and all the conditlons of tho Ulstor custom concernlng com- ponsation for Improvements ure made compulsory, with ample provistons agalust thelr belug given up by 'agresment. Tha Land Court 13 also authorized to equitably declde all controversies between Jandlorda and tenants, and to compsl submission to its declsions, Appenls from the declsions of this Court, In speclul cases, are allowed. A second blll amends the act of 1870, giving. practical vigor to the Bright clauses of that act telating to the purchasine of lund. Taking the bi)| as a whole, It provides for & aeneral sweep of the oppressive and ¢be uoxlaus onditions of the present land &ys tem, It practieally abolishes tenaney nt will; it glvea fixity of tenure, tho statutory term being fifteen yenrs, but eapable of belng made longer. It recognizes the tenant, so long ng he pays the rent, a3 practical owner of the land ho occupies, and entitled tu a renewal of the leaso, at a rent to be fixed In caso of disagreement by the Court, and entitied to full compensation for all fm- provements, Ho hing the right to sellehls property at any time,—to the landlord, It he will pay the prico; ¥f not, then to any other erson. Non-pnyment of rent is substantially the only cause Justifylne ovietion, but even in that caso tho tenant may selt his interest, ‘Eints blE will strike the average, render ay one which the Irish people nnd the Land League cannot wiford to refect in the hope of getting somothing more, 1t strips the land system of Ireland of all its monstrous in- Justice, despotism, and cruelty, The fixity of tenure nlone §s an Immense concesslon, It will 80 Improve the condition of tho people of Ireland that they will become selfssustaining nnd s prosperous as mere tillers of the soll canbe, With tho prosperity of the land accu- pants there may come {n time the promotion of other Industries, including varlous branches of manufactures, giving diversified employment to the labor of the pco.ple.
