Victoria C. Woodhull on the “Ten- dencies of Government.” The Balmoral Brokers ‘Bull’ on Social Laws— God im Creation, in History and in Gov- ¢roment—A Philosophical Preface toaPhilosophical Discourse. ‘The head of the firm of Woodhill, viatin & Co., Commodore Vanderbilt's financial provgés— the famed Balmoral brokers of Broad street—hae undertaken the dimcult task of correcting popular errors on the science of government, and has pre- pared @ paper on the subject. As, however, the lady expects to be too busy making money among the bulls and bears and canvassing for the Prest- dency in 1872 to deliver tt for some time to come we Publish the first part of it (n extenso, Whether her conclusions will agree with her premises or not the document wili be found exceedingly interesting as showing the quality of the femaie mind against which the money changers of Wall street will have to contend in business: — As far back into the past as aim nistoric lights enable us to see, and still much farther, even behind the appearance of wan upon the face of this planet, the existence of goverament can be plainiy traced, Wherever two or more of any species of animais—not to descend lower and including man—are or have been some- thing simulating to what 1s in our day denominated ment exists or existed; and whether it 1s or over & groaier oF Jess community, {t 18 or was possessed of certain characterizing elements, from and by which @ ciear insight into the com- position of the community can be obtained by those who will analyze the elements somewhat philosophically—tnat is to say, govern- ments are truthiui reflections of the governed wien considered a3 @ whole, ana all changes or modifica- tons that occur therein result frum growth of the governed. No just nor advantageons deductions from any subject or fact which 1s worthy of a posi- tion in the wor.d’s history, and which 13 capable of permanently maintaiuing such a position, can be arrived at, except tarough a complete philosophic Analysis of all the elements entering into tts com. position, All facts as well ag all chemical com- ounds are made up of elementary principles rought into intimate productive relations by some general power, operating by some general law of combinaton. By such an analysis the composi tion of such subjects and facts as are analyzed are not only determined, bat the relations they sustain to all other subjects and facta are also demonstrated, and thus a geaeral law of relativity 1s found which makes tne Whole round of creation one 1p purpose and effect. It i# not proposed in the present ariicle to prosecute an exhaustive analysis of goveru- ment as it is, or as it bas been, but rather to ov- serve the chain of progression that has been evoived, and to endeavor to determine whether, link by link, it does not form one harmonious whole, from the present aspect of whicn its culmination may be caught of; and whether that culmination Wil not be found a complete circle, containu ‘within its immense area all that has conspired an axsisted in its eompletion, and which will be entitied to positions In such @ community of interests by vir- tue of having thus conspired and assisted in 16 formation. Neither 1s it proposed to extend the mits of this inquiry beyond the consideration of human government, except im so far as anaogies may be sought to enforce the application of general laws and to assist by such application io the solution of juestions a8 may not be entirely apparent from the evidences contatned specifically within tae said limits. Patiosophically considered, bowever, the objects sought could as weil be obtained from any other department of government; for, while a general law underiies all forms and systems of bu- man government and controls all its modifications, the seif-same law underlies and concrols ali other forms and systems of government from which hu- man government sprung and upon which it reste as & primary basis. It 1s belleved that there 1s suMcient meutal development ana comprehension contained in the philosoplic minds of thislatter part of the nineteenta century to gather into form the evidence thas has been @nd is bemg presented in the evolution and diasoiution of goverument, and grasp its signification, so that in ite application to existing things permanent instead of politic moaifications im governmental affairs may be inaugurated. Governed by any other than such @ broad standard changes and modifi- cations in present systems and forms are made simply to meet the exigencies of the times, and with no view to piace government upon @ basis that should never need modification, and which should meet all exigencies of ail times, The reasons why such government has not hitherto been iat or attempted are because im no country has the general mind as yet become sufficiently broad and comprehensive to discover that great general laws underlie the aniverse and govern all its inantifesta- tons, applying to each and every department thereof with perfect uniformity. It is not my province to discuss what these great bres Jaws and principles are. [assume that they do exist, and 1i is my ofice to predicate what the tuture of government must be when it shall have its basis in such laws and principles, and to judge whether what has been, and what is, may be considered as gradual approaches from the most siinple and nomogeneous forms, in which the interest of a.1 were very indefinite either individually or collectively towards that wherein the interests of all, while becoming more distinct individually, shall be merged in the general aes of the whoje and become identical theie- wit Mr. Maine says, in his “Ancient Law,’? that “society in ancient times was not what tt is assumed to be at present—a collection of individuals.” “in iact, and in view of the men that composed tt, it Was an aggregation of families. The contrast may be best and most forcibly expressed by saying that the unit of an ancient soctety was the family; of a modern society, the tndtvidual.” In speaking of ancient society Mr. Fiske says: “Family government exciuded not only individual independence but also State supremacy, and that vestiges of a time when there were no aggregates of men more extensive than the family may be found in every part of the world when social orgar:- ization was but one step removed from ‘absolute und ferocious auarchy;” and he deiines as a social aggregate of the firstorder; the coalescence Of families into civic communities an aggregate of the second order; tho coalescence of civic and tribuai communities tnto the nation an aggregate of the third order. The coalescence of nations would then describe an aggregace ofthe fourth order. Under these four orders ali the forms of govern- ment ever existing in the world must be classified. As low a form of government as can be conceived as existing next above that of the family, wortny to be called human government, still exists amon: the barbarians inhabiting sume portions of Cent Africa, some of the East India Islands, and pernaps some of the South Sea Islands. These people unite in baods or tribes and rove aboot seeking the meana of subsistence and endeavoring to conquer other trives. Some have central points of rendezvous, Where the rudest habitations are constructed, in which the women and children remain during the absence of the men. The women almost univer- sally are considered very muchin the light of slaves by all these nomadic tribes, and as only fit to minister to their passions and to perform their drudgery. Their language ia as rude 28 their hanits, consisting of \ittie more than a comparatively few spasimodicaily uttered harsh sounds, Written language they have none, except- ing perhaps some tmages or rude figures symbul- izing some special event they in this way attempt to commemorate, and which may be considered as the foundation of itfor the tribes using them, as they were the primary foundation of all writven janguage. One notable featare 18 universally observable among all these representatives of primitive govern- men'—they all recognize the necessity of # leader under some of the nany forms of control exercised by the one over the many, and he is generally one who has exnibited some particclar prowess in baitie, the capacity to perforta whitch he is supposed to be endowed with by sorue unknown power, and which renders him superior to all others and best capabie of ruling and protecting those who thu: recog. nize him, and who obey him in every par- ticular even to sacrificing their lives. Such may be considered an oatlne of our conceptions of the most primitive form of govern- ment ol the present day; and the fact that such still exists bas a marked bearing upon the subject of general government, when jt is rememberea that the time was when uo higher form existed on tie face of the eartu. ‘The law of evolution and that of dissolution being @ universal deduction from the philosophic ulamnaium that force persists, they ap- Diy to aii things wherein force is exhivited; conse quently human governinent imust be the objective Tesult’ of the persistence of force exhiblied among the people of the earth, ana at the samo time the subject of all modifications that grow out of its transformations and equivaient relations. In whatever light, nen, human government is viewed, P| nor disregarded; but the causes of all the rises and fal anstormatious, modifications aud amalga- Mations, should be tion of those laws under consideration. The question now naturaily arises, can human government, then, alyzed, aud the facts it preseats be found to cor- respond to the deductions of philosophic law? it bas been remarked that te simplest combinations ol force among human beings, representing govern- ment which existed wien noue higher had peen attained, was still represented on the earth by cer- tain oF Of its inhabitants, Beginaing with this as the basis of the superstructure of huwan governmest can there be traced a gradual scale of progress from 1b to the government of this country, m Walch seaie each nation, tribe and tongue will find its appropriate place, whici, unoccupied, would reover the scale imperfect, as a chain would be iinperivct one of 1t3 central links missing? and would an analysis of each of these goveruments develop the Juct Liab each Successive one in tie progressive seale would represent some new appitcation of (ie Peivetple of hbverty; sour more excended idea of equality, or some better formula ol justice than tne preceeding had, which application, ieea or formula outines i LO rank superiar Wikies 18 PESTON La Luo serie y Of a svatemn# and forms of goverument mat cane sought by the apoplica- to the objective bo | reto, ad also dewr- | and passed away during the long lapse of ages, | from the time t2e mosi primitive alone existed on the earth to the time wherein those fuurished thas have leit records of their eximence, we nothing @x hered can know from philo- record ty ity fer resisting external inf ‘were bound ‘ogetner By none of the hi bus were led by el contingencies, comomning at times together, 0 soon divide and subdivide only to again form new fan oapalis temporary anaigamations, Thus con- stantly o1 alluded to her laws of ral rganizing and dissolving the long interval was occupied by primitive Inkavitants 1D their march from the purely homogeneous toward the individualized times wherein civilization lert records of itself. Whie no special inquiries into ‘the correctness of the formulas ‘aid down at vari- ous times by various ppilosophers which seek (o include and cover all the phenomena of the uni- verse will be made, those of the most eminent may with propriety be stated: indeed, if it be atvempted to show that history obeys a fixed law of evolution, vhe law that tt 1s presuined w obey must be given. that it may be seen whether the deductions arrived at are included within the limita of the formula.

Until within the present century it was not claimed by any of the various piilosophers who bad flonrished that there was such a science a8 sociology; or if 80 claimed by any tar-seeing mind, the atvempt to demonstrate and formulate it was not made until the cme of Comte, who, about the year 1830, did attempt it, and he may be justly stvied the father of tne present syetem of formu- lated science. Thoueh his system is now shown to contuln many imperfections and omissions it 18 nevertheless certain that but tor it the improve- Ments since made would not have been possible to the present degree attained, though those who have made them may repudiate the idea and scorn to acknowledge that they bave buut upou Coumie. Gathering from bis profuse writings upon this point bis earlier and west continuous opinions, the following are the simplest terms in wuich they ean be expressed;—Social progression 1s a gradual change from radimentary, homogeneous and an- thropomorphic conditions to civilization, hetero- genetty and to deflaite conceptions of the external World; and at the same time time trom nomadic characteriatics, with aggressive purposes, to inhabl- tative propensities and individual industrial pursuits, Anumber of philosophers, who have written since the time of Comte, nave trom time to time presented formulas which at best can only be considered a4 modifications of kis, and tt may confidently be as- serted that no real addition was acquired until the Spencertan was made, which, while it tncluded Comte’s Was more general and comprehensive and at the same time more definite and special. This seemlog anomaly was made possible by bis having discovered the law of evolution, aud by having exhaustively demonstrated that al! mental accion-— emotional as well as invellectual—was included in it, It 18 as follows:—Evolution is an integration of mat- ter, concomitant dissipation of motion, during which the matter passes from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity and during which the retained motion undergoes @ par- allel transformation. Tbis general formula includes all evolution, organic and inorganic, aud interprets not only the genesis of the sidereal and solar systema and ofthe earth, but also of life upon the earch, and has become the law of all social, mora! and in- tellectual chat He afterward found it necessary to make @ supplement specially applicable to organio hife, in such terms as should not include the toor- ganic. It was as follows:—‘‘Life—and intelligence being the highest manifestation of life—consists in Lhe continuous establishment of relations wituin the organism, in correspondence with relations exist: within the environment” or the surroundings. To this exhaustive statement a late generalization and specialization has been made by Mr. Fiske, especially applicable to social evolution, an fol- lows:—-The progress of society is @ continuous establishment of psyonical relations within the com- munity, in conformuy to physical and psyciical re- lations’ arising within the environment, auring which both the community and tne euvironment pues from a state of incoherent homogeneity toa state of coherent heterogeneity, and during which the constitutional units of the community become ever more distinctly individuated. javing now arrived at that point where history must furnish the facts upon which the subject res's, 1 may be well to comprehensively recapitulate a per- ps somewnat too long introduction. It was seen that ail over the face of the earth where human life. was represented government exists, that this government was representative of one or another of the three orders of ag- gregates of individuals—the family, the tribal, or toe hacion, and that an aggregate of ions would add the fourth order. It was alsoseen that the evolution of government was the objective result of ine per- sistence of force among its component parts. Fixing the basis of government in this philosophic fact, it was necessary to examine the history of gov- ernment to sce if in its evolution it had conformea to tuis law. accoraing to present accepted formuias; and if so found to have done, to extend the same into the future, to ascertain if possible what the future of 1t would be. Thus, by @ present understanding of the law and its tendencies all modifications and changes made in present systems nd forms might be 80 made in harmony therewitn, and not with a simple view to meet the present exigencies, but with an understanding that would meet ali exigenctes of ail time, waich alone ts perfect legisiation.

Funeral of Kusakabe cp Japanese Sta dont—Intoresting Mortuary Services at New Brunswick—Sympathy of the Citizens, New Brunswick, N, J., April 15, 1670, Nothing can be of more intercat to @ reflecting mind than ® funeral ceremony. ‘The face of the corpse and the trappings of mourning touch the susceptiblities of the most callous, and bring vividly before the mind the awfui truth that from final dis- solution none are exempt. More convincing than the finest efforts of oratory, more persuasive than the teachings of clerical wisdom, the palpable pres- ence of the Destroyer in the body of a fellow being awakens the profoundest sensauons of awe iD buman hearts; and this feeling of revereniial awe becomes intensified @ thousand fold when the body borne to iis last resting place is that of one of a different race and peo- ple and tongue.

The burial ofa stranger in a strange land, far from home and kindred, 13, then, an event well caiculated to awaken the livellesé emotions in the human breast, Tne death of Kusakabe Taro, of the party of Japanese students who came ali the way from their Eastern home to study the civilization of tae West and selected the college in this towu as their a/ma mater, causea profoand sorrow in this community, which had learned to admire his many gifts and 900d qualities of bead and heart, He had lserally read himself to death, Bo nervously anxious was he to Make the best use of his time and ortunities (hab he might the sooner return to Japan and make hig Western knowledge avaliable in enlightening and elevating his less fortunate countrymen, Not content with the severe course of study prescribed for him- seif and his fellows by the facalty ot the college, he tasked his mina with a weight of information too beavy for his weakly frame, and the climate did the rest. He died on Wednesday last of consumption, at the early age of twenty-two. Socially the equal of bis fellows, Kusakabe Taro was intellectually their ac- knowledged supertor. Had he been spared to re- turn to his native country after graduating at the college he would have exercised no litele influence im throwing wide the gates of native jealousy of foreigners to Western trade and civilization, He died in the faith of his fathers, which many of hia comrades at the college have discardea for Caris- tiantty. The funeral services were held to-day, in the pres ence of the wealth and respectability of the town, ‘The body was deposited in # beautiful rosewood coffin, sliver mounted, and lay in the house of Mr. Dumont, to which place the resident profes- sors and students of Rutgers College, the boys of the grammar school aud the citizens generally repaired at half-past two o'clock. Previous to the removal of the coffin to the hearse the Rev. Mr. Hartran‘t, pastor of the Reformed churco, made @ short out eloquent prayer, to which the Japanese students listened with profound attention. By three o’clock, ail the necessary preliminaries having been completed, the coin, on which L wreaths bad been placed by some Kind female bands, was borne to the hearse, and the {unerai cortege moved to sir. Hartranft’s chureh close by. First came the faculty ot the college, then the Japanese and students, and the citizens of the town brought up the rear. The colin was borne to the communion tabie and there deposited, the fellow coumtrymen of the deceased being accommodated with seats near by. Every pew tp the spacious church was occu- pled and great interest was manifested by the con- gregation. Dr, Campbell. president of the college, and two other clergymen, oficiated. The services were commenced by the choir simging the hymna beginning Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb, Take this new treasure to thy breast, And give these aacre: relics rom ‘To seek a slumber in the dust. Then followea a prayer, alter which Dr. Campbell ascended the pulpit and delivered a most eoqueng aud voucbing address. Alter @ jnacki state- ment of the Christian faith, he said vhas the Reformed Church cordially welcomed tbe Japanese and threw wide the door to her literary nd scientific institutions, offering moral and spirit- ual culture and the advantage of modern civiliza- tion. Christianity aoes not annibilate the civiliza- tion of the East, but tempers and improves it. No special merit was claimed by the Lostitations of the Ketormed Church for affording strangers the same priviieges ana opportaniti corded vo her native youth, lor in tae spirit of the Greek proverb, “Too things possessed by triends are common property,’? and the anese were welcome friends. Kusakabe Taco was within three months of completing hia course in the college. He atuod @t the head of his ciass and would have graduated with honor. His thirsty soul drank in knowledge with avidity. He Was & model student, a true gentleman, whose de- portment and conduct were characterized by pro- priety andexcelience, Had he survived the insidious disease to Which his constitution succumbed hewould have returned to biess the land he loved a0 well, But the Everiasting Father otherwise decreed, and his comrades would have to undertake the good work which be had prepared himself to accoiplisa. The learned gentieman eoncluded hie remarks by urging the stuaents to improve the occasion. The diligence of the Japanese young men énould be imi- tatea by the Americans, and ali should caltivate their opportunities to the utmost. Another hymn was then sung by the choir, the benediction was pronounced, and then tne congra- gation marched round the church gotng up ons aisle and down the other, to take @ last luok at the face of the dead. It should have beea said that a silver plate on the coffin bore the sim- ple inscription “Kusakabe Taro, died April 13, 1870, aged twenty-two years.” After all tne people present bad paid the last tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased the boay was conveyed io the house, the organ peated fortu & requiem and the services were concladet- Toe body was taken to the Willow Grove Cemetory and deposited in a vauit, where it will remain until the wishes of the famliy of the deceased in regard to it are ascertained.

Arriving in Newari some three years, ago, as stated, he went to board with @ highly respectable widow lady.

His wife, who has the appearance of @ mild, modest, amtabie per- son, and quite lady-like in her manners, manifested &@ desire tO have the mutter settled, but the Overseer, who has charge of tne case, decided otherwise.
