GENERAL FEATURLS OF TRE TRAFFIC WASHINGTON, April 11, 1872. A few weeks since the Kritish Minister, in conver- sation With the Secretary of State, represented tnat the privileges reserved by the Imaum of Muscat In nis treaty wilh Great Britain for the suppression of the siave trade—allowing, however, his subjects to continue to import slaves to be employed as house servants—nas been so grossly abused that the British government desired to put an end to the treaty, 80 that the cover which it has afforded for keeping up the trafic on the eastern coast of Af- rica migit be removed, The co-operation of this government was asked tn the matter, but as no suggesied for that pur- detinte plan was pose it was for tho present declin- ed. At a subsequent visit tbe British Minister informed Secretary Fish that he had com. Municated with tus government and had deen noti- fied that the cancellation 0! the whole treaty was not desired, but merely 80 Much oF it as reserved the right to transport domestic slaves by sea, within ceriain jimits of ther own territory, The President, aiter considering tue proposition, agreea to co-operate as far as practicable, and the British Minister has been informed that the commander o! (he first man-of-war of the United States wich should visii Zavgibar or Muscat would be ordered to lotimate to the sovereign of that country that the United States would be glad to seo that the treaty with England be cancelled, as tere was reason to believs that the instrument was used asacloak and shield to contiuue the slave trade generaiy in its most offensive form, and with its usual results Of distress to the fdividuals kiduap- ped and to the region wherein they were obtained, At pre-ent England, France aad America are the only civuized Powers with whom the Imaum of Muscat lias concluded commercial treaties, and in each of these instruments, for the sake Of trading con- Cessious, an infamous provision has been sanctioned Tecoguizing the irausportution of siaves Irom Zaudle bar to duscat, Lf they are simply to be used as house servants or concuimes, it was especially Btated, however, that tins clause shouid in no way ve construed as countenaucing the continuance of the old system of bringiug flaves in large numbers to Muscat, and there dis) osing of them dor distrivuuon all over Persia and up the Euphrates, among tbe great cites of Mesopoiawla, such as Bagdad, Mosul and Diarvekir, But the gate tus left op-n, though, luke Mercutio’s wound, scarcely as wide as a church door, has been enoug:, and it has served as a cloak for the niost flagrant intractions of the internanonal laws agreed upon by the p pal Mariume havons for the abolition o: the trafic in human flesa and blood, And lately, in tie anarchy that for the past couple of years has prevailed in me kingdom of Oman, the evil has grown to the Most serious dimensions, briush —crulsers have constantly been on the watch for slave dhows, but have frequentiy been com- belied to abandon their captives oa the representa hoa Uiai the slaves were Jond jde se. vants Of cil wens Of Muscat, purchased in Zandibar ior their OW persouai Use, ‘Lue relations beween Zanzibar und Oman ave also added to the diflculty ot de- tecling iraud of this character.

The thunder of the London Times, or the potency of the New York HERALD Is greater now than any Papal bull from she Vatican, Why? Booause humanity progresses and develops, and the press keops pace with the progress and development. The New YoRK HERALD can do more good or more harm in one day than a hundred pulpits can duvinayear, The HERALD has the eyes ana ears of a huudred thousand readers dispersed all over the habitable globe. The sun never sets upon tne constituency of the HERALD, The capital that sus- tains thas powerful organ, the consummate ability with which it 18 conducted, the energy with which its objects are carried out, and ita gigantic strengta in politics, commerce and social affairs are Wonderful, By comparison, again, let us teat strength, action ‘and results. The Protestant Episcopal Church in America has her fitty-three bishops, 2,800 priests and deacons and 282,000 communicants, the contributions made iu thirty-five dioceses and four miastonary jarisdic- tions amountiag 1u one year to about five millions of dollars, Now, has this Church, with its combination of capital, income, learning, numbers and strength, accomplished anything within the last twenty months which, in the eyes of tne world, can be considered equal to the achievo- ments of the HgRaLp? Take, for example, the extraordinary ability and accuracy with which the evenis of the great Franco-German war were chronicled by correspondents of that journal, not only giving laformation to the world of spectators bat to the very combatants themselves. Did the Churen by spiritual or temporal meaps accomplish anything at the seat of war to equal tne HERALD's feats? We had a visit from a Russian Prince whose Jather is the temporal Lead of the orthodox Greek Church, with which the Episcopal Uhurch of Eng- land seeks & union, The HERALD made itself felt and respected by the Princo and bis imperial family, Did the Church lose its opportunity? The heir to the British throne has lately Most narrowly escaped the Jaws of death— tue HERALD, regardless of troubie and cost, recorded daily the chaagea and history of the disease; and when the great national thanks- giving took place the ieadiug American journal so used the costly submarine wire as to afford its readers an account of the royal procession and cuthedrai service, a3 to rival the very journals printed and published within sound of St, Paul's bells; and, by a high and kindly editorial sone at the critical moment of apprehended death, as at the tume of restorea health, the HexaLp justified its national character and representative position by noble sympathy and friendly counsels, Did the American Church rise equal to the occasion and cement the unton between Church aud Church, peo- ple and people? In the inierests of civilizauon and humanity the Hzraup sends a brief but momentous telegram to its correspondent 10 Africh:— “Find Livingstone, and draw upon us for the cost.” Expenditure of mney and, perhaps, of life was ordered by that message. If Church mis- slons Were conducted a3 tie HERALD missions—if the best men ovtainable for given wors were ob- tained—if those agents felt as the HERALD's agents Koow that the eyes of all the world are upon them, and that the directing minds at headquarters hold | them to account, how diderent should we belold results 1 Aud if we take the religious informatioa given by Kingdom. scarcely & alive trader, there- fore, has plied between Gman aud Zausibac witout avatliag blusel of me pretext aaorded by the treaty to gle Lirou.n a Jew slaves nto Arabia.

According to one speaker the Convenuon had assembled for the Purpose of talk, and no restricttons whatever snould be placed upon that happy faculty. Tue discussion of the gag rule, which, by the by, was recom- mitted and subsequenuy modified, afforded a rair opportunity for analyzing tue material of the Con- veution, which 1s composed of two distinct ele. ments, and perhaps interests, viz., the mixed blood and better educated, most of whom arein enjoy. ment of official honors and emoluments, and the pure African or “field hand” element, which, how- ever, possesses several champions yf extraordinary Qbility. Both sides are united upon the necessity of enforcing civil rights, whicd, according to their Interpretation, are synonimous with social equality. DIVISION AMONG THE CLANS OVER GRANT.

New ORLEANS, April 11, 1872, The spring meeting of tho Metairie Jockey Club 1s among the things of the past, but it went out in quite a blaze of glory, Never, perhaps, in years has there been so much excitement on the old course as was witnessed to-day, and justly so, as the closing event of tne meeting, the four mile heats, was very brilitau* and the struggle of an tn- tense nature during part of the contest, which re- quired three heats to decide, The weather was lovely, and with the all-important ald of beautiful sky, balmy southern breeze, elastic, smooth track, and the seeming unexceptlonable condition of all the horses that came Co the post, the racing of the day was looked upon as a success at an carly hour. The attendance exceeded thatof any day of the meeting, and both the club and grand stands and the field inside the course presented a most ani- ihe protests ot euy public Lmpor- | mated appearance, The betuing way very heavy, and the “propheta’ in the last event were again disappointed, the favorite, though scoring the tirst heat, being distanced In the third, THE TRIAL STAKE—ONE MILB, The firstrace was for the Irtal Stake, for three- year-olds, one mile; $25 entrance, play or pay, $500 Added: second hora ta. receive $100, tha third to save his stake, The winner of the Minor Stake to carry five pounds extra, For tis race there wero seventeen entries and six starters, these belug H.
