munity is to be disturbed by strikers, strikers must at least be taught to obey the law, uw The English Blood and Kindred Cry and the Treaty—The Plain Issue Before the Senate. It is a curious fact that the shibboleths of “dcindred peoples,’’ ‘Christian nations,’’ ‘‘com- mon blood,”’ and so forth, ad nauseam, are never heard between England and America except at the precis® periods when this nation is asked to make some sacrifice in England's favor. When the Union was writhing in its war struggle for very existence the ‘“com- mon blood’’ was accounted in England no thicker than water, and the press of that “kindred people’ in its gloating over the I slaughter of our brave soldiers was applauded by that ‘Christian nation,” when it said in its savagery that “the Yankees are the scum of the earth.’ The notoriety-craving parsons; the meddlesome quidnunes who are lickspittles in one country and ultra-Christians in the other; the timid business men, whose interests are on the opposite side of the Atlantic to their nationalities; the amateur diplomatists, whose genius has never received more recognition than it is worth, all rush in on such occasions as the treaty difficulty to befog a simple ques- tion with their fulsome platitudes. The harm which these volunteer owls of politics have lately wrought on this side arises from an adroitness in having their hootings taken for the time as the voice of the American people. The English Cabinet, press and people, were induced by them to think that we were as much opposed to the claim for “indirect damages’’ as the English themselves, Hence Granville's encouragement to browbeat and bully our timid, vacillating Secretary of State, and hence Minister Schenck’s piteous wail- ing through the cable. It is not aot all surprising that the English organ of the administration here should enter, con amore, upon the task of putting British sugar upon the bitter pill of national humilia- tion which its directors in the English Foreign Office and whip-drivers in our State De- partment ask the Senate of the United States to swallow. That it breaks out all over with an eruption of spurious ‘‘Christianity’’ is what might be expected. It is, as we have said, the plea on which America is ever asked to back down from a stand of national honor or con- cede some material advantage to the commer- cial greed of England; and, indeed, that its chronic mendacity should find fitting expres- sion will not astonish many. From the outset the Hzraxp hailed the principle of arbitration as set forth in the treaty, and the country with- out any enthusiasm whatever acquiesced in it; but the English organ mistakes the Ameri- can people when it says disingenuously:—‘“It will be an intense disappointment to them to see this effort come to naught because we have asked too much and now stand by our de- mands."’ Naturally this English paper takes the English view—that we have asked too much. It, however, fails to show where the “intense disappointment’ will come in, and wherein we have ‘“‘asked too much;’’ wherein, in fact, we have asked anything at all beyond what the treaty clearly admitted—namely, nothing in the matter of award, but in the principles of law to go before the arbitra- tors. The English organ then goes on to say that ‘‘the treaty, too, as framed, was pecu- liarly advantageous to this country.” The writer evidently believed for the nonce he was addressing England. His language, un- fortunately, is exactly the reverse of truth when applied to America. . England, with the claims hanging over her like a sword of Damocles, was chained to the rock of inter- national peace. This treaty would leave her free to become once more a first class Power in European politics, where she is now acipher. Its carrying out to the utmost ex- tent would not matter to America, nationally, one way or the other the value of a straw; and it is in the interest of such a piece of generosity to England that the English organ calls on the Senate to survender our national pride and honor to the blustering beggar at | our gates, under the pressure of ‘Chris- | tianity,"’ “common blood’? and “kindred | peoples,"’ aided by ready and unscrupulous misrepresentation. Between two private parties, in the matter | of a business agreement, these by questions of religion, blood and race are not allowed to | enter. The parson buys his land from a Jew without them, The American quidnune, | truckle as he may, cannot buy a roll of Eng- lish cloth on the credit of ‘common blood,’’ and the American business man who maun- ders about ‘kindred peoples’’ would not sella bale of middling cotton to Manchester with his securities in ‘the glorious ties of Auglo-Saxon origin.’’ Why, then. shonld this begging the qnestion be allowed to befog an international dispute? [t may be that the indirect claims ought never to have been included in our case: but it is too late to consider that now, and at any time | it was a question for us alone to decide. Our government put its decision unmistakably on the record when it included consequential | damages in our “‘case,’’ and, as if to make assurance doubly sure about what we meant, it * said to England, through our Secretary of State; —“‘All the propositions by the British government involve covertly, probably with- out designy what this government can never agree to—the withdrawal from the province of the tribunal of what we believe to be entirely | within their competence.’ But the timid and | vacillating Secretary, with these indelible words before his eyes, prepares to back down, but does it so clumsily that its cowardice, meanness and poverty of manly excuse are transparent to the world. Small wonder, | then, that the ‘Christianity,’ ‘common blood’ and “kindred people’’ brigade are called on to drown the angry remonstrance of * an outraged people, who find themselves to have been effectually bullied into a compro- mise as disgraceful as it should be impossible ! Small wonder that the English editors in this city bay the moon and rattle the chains which connect their collars with Downing street and the State Department!

If so they must have resolved to retire from political life. The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The late mails from abroad bring us letters from the Hraatp's correspondent in Naples, in which graphic details are given of the recent eruption of Mount Vesnvius. The telegrams at the time the volcano began to vomit forth its destructive missiles, meagre as they were, told a tale of horror which the mail ad- vices fully confirm. As early as the 23d of April, five days previous to the date of the letters published on another page, the instru- ments of Professor Palmieri, at the Observa- tory situated on the mount, gave the premoni- tory signs which betokened increased activity of the volcano, and shortly afterwards. it commenced to give forth those peculiar bellowings which always precede an erup- tion. These signals served rather to excite the curiosity of sightseers than to warn the unfortunate inhabitants who reside in the neighborhood of the treacherous mount of the approaching danger. Accordingly parties wore formed in Naples to make the ascent and approach the mouth of the crater. With glee- ful hearts and reckless steps one party, on nearing the summit, were surprised in their march by the opening of a new crater almost be- neath their feet. Fires immediately burst forth and were succeeded by streams of burning lava. In consternation and fright the too- adventuresome sightseers attempted to retrace their steps; but before they could escape the fiery flood was upon them. Many escaped back to Naples, others were terribly burned, while a number, who but a few minutes before were all life and hope, were overtaken in their race for life and met with a terrible death. Not satisfied, as it were, with this human holocaust, the fires within con- tinued to rage with increased fury. The inhabitants of Naples now for the first time realized the terrible wrath of the volcano, Huge volumes of smoke hung like a cloud over the city and seemed to transform day into night; fires belched forth from new openings in the mountain; streams of burning lava coursed down the sides, carrying death and destruction into many a household, and trans- forming fruitful fields and gardens into charred and unsightly wastes. According to the mail accounts between one hundred and fifty and two hundred lives were lost. Ourcor- respondent informs us that the roads leading to Naples were thronged with fugitives, fleeing from homes which were either destroyed or were threatened with destruction. Villages in flames, fields swept by rivers of fire, houses re- duced to ashes, crowds of panic-stricken people flocking to the coast, met the eye on all sides. The scenes related of this calamity are terrible in the extreme. Nothing in late days can compare with them. The railroads were pressed into the service of the people and gratuitously helped to aid them in their flight from the pursuing fire; vessels belonging to the Italian government released from their position the trembling inhabitants who fled to the sea coast for safety; the municipality of Naples organized bands to succor the afflicted, who from all quarters poured into the city, and temporary residences were hastily erected for the shelter of the unfortunates who lost their all. Crowded hospitals, thronged streets, panic-stricken people, and sad processions characterized Naples, while the angry fire- consuming mount close by still continued to send forth its rivers of fire, and terrified with its bellowing the- wretched people, made still more miserable by the destruction it had ac- complished.

A frightful fire occurred in Jeddo during a severe gale, destroying habitations covering a space of two by three miles, The fire originated in one of the Prince's late palaces, which was occupied by troops. The flames leaped over whole blocks of buildings and set fire to places a mile distant from the building in which the fire began. An immense amount of property was destroyed. Where the wounded and lame wore unable to escape the omi- cials slashed right and left with their swords, and thus saved many persons from the more awful fate of burning. Thirty thousand persons are houseless, RELIEF AND MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT. The government opened their rice storehouses and fed all who applied. ‘The occurrence of this fire had led the govern- ment to permit foreigners: to lease land in Jeddo, the owners being compelled to make monthly re- ports, This act will cause foreign money to be in- vested there to improve the city. A new plan of the burned district will be made, and wide streets and substantial buildings only will be allowed, LOYALTY AND PEACE. The story that ten Japanese attempted to assas- sinate the Mikado is not believed. The country is in profound peace, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. The government will soon commence settling the debts of the Daimios, which policy will dictate peace now and in the future, because without money the former Daimios are worse than homeless. PUBLIO WORKS PROGRESS, The railroad from Yokohama to Jeddo is nearly completed, and trains will commence running in about a week.

THE SAGE SERENADED. Honest Horace, Bareheaded, Ad- dresses the Citizens from the Hotel Balcony. POUGHKEEPSIE, May 16, Horace Greeley reached this city at five o'clock this afternoon. He was met at the depot by Mayor iH, G, Eastman, John J, Platt, of the Eagle; W. W. Hegeman, of the News; Rey. F, B. Wheeler, of the Presbyterian Church, and Rey. Mr. Biddle, of the African Church, All got into Mayor Eastman's private carriage, and a hack followed after, con- taining one or two Ponghkeepsians. The party were driven to the Morgan House, where Mr. Greeley was assigned a room. Then the people began to flock in to take a look and shake the hand of the Sage of Chappaqua. The first to step for- ward was an old, grey-headed man, Without being introduced he seized Mr. Greeley by the hand, and, as a tear trickled down his cheek ejaculated, ‘(How de do, Mr. Greeley? My name is Smith.” Then came leading citizens, who con- gratulated Mr. Greeley upon his nomination. Mr. Shaw, of the Cooperstown Journal, was introduced, and was glad to say that his paper had hoisted the name of Greeley for the Presidency, Next came B. Platt Carpenter, an old friend of Mr. Greeley’s in the Constitutional Convention. They talked aside for a moment or two, when hand shaking generally took place, To the surprise of all, the colored clergyman, Rey. Mr. Biddle, suddenly became non est. He could not be found. His people here are alittle mixed on the question of the Presidency. Said Abraham Bollu, a prominent member of his church:—“We're going to have Mr, Greeley speak, but we don't sympathise with the Greeley moye- ment.’ Abraham is a representative man among the colored men, and ought to know a thing or two, HONORS TO THE FUTURE PRESIDENT, When the hand shaking was completed Mr. Gree- ley, #1 reply to a question, said he should simply talk to the colored people to-night in relation to their past, present and future interests. He did not then know a plan was on foot to serenade him, Just before supper I noticed several prominent Poughkeepsie deniocrats about the- Hotel, among them James Harvey Seaman and Morgan Leopold Farnum. PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE COLORED PEOPLE. In accordance with his promise, as above stated, Mr. Greeley delivered a lecture to-night in the Old Universalist church, in Cannon street. The lecture ‘was announced to be addressed to the colored peo- ple of the city, who number about four hundred; but Mr. Greeley’s fame, intensified aud extended as it has been vy mé Cicinuati nominatlUn, did not move the darkies to attend in more than an insignificant numbery and at the hour appointed for the lecture at elght o'clock there were in the house about fifty people, forty-five of whom were white, the remaiuder of the same color as the emancipated race. The local explanation of this sad want of interest in the wise utterances of the future President of the United States was found in the fact that at the Opera House of the city, “Uncle Tom's Cabin” was produced with an addi- tional attraction of a new charming and attractive Eva. Later in the evening several members of the ¢lite of the black society of Poughkeepsie imitated the good manners of white people by coming in after Mr. Greeley had begun his lecture and interrupting | him in his address, thus strengtheming the au- dfence, white and black, to the number of about one | hundred, all told, HORACE ON THE PLATFORM. Mayor Zastman introduced Mr. Greeley to the Mr. Greeley said thatif he had known that he should have stood before the public in the attitude that he bow stood with regard to public affairs he should have refrained from the promise that he had made to address the colored people of Poughkeepsie. He should not in any case have directed his attentic to the political aspects of the position of the | colored people. What he proposed to do was to talk about the past, the present and the fature con- dition of the colored people. These people were now an integral part of the nation. At all times when the colored race had been found outaide the tropical or semi-tropieal regions of our globe they | have been thus placed there by foree or by circum- | stances opposed to their own will. THE BLACKS WERE AN AGRICULTURAL PROPLE in the main, and they change their occupation and their location far less readily than any oth ple, The men in Great Britain who plough The agricultural population of this country will largely remain where they are born; so we come to regard the colored people as component parts of the population. The people of African blood will remain for an {indefinite period a peculiar people. He would advise the colored men not to make any distinction or to refuse one in the matter of mem- bership of the churches, The spirit of reform is an accusing spirit. If there were nothing defective in the idea of the colored race it would be idle to | waste his (Mr. Greeley's) time in discussing them. BY GOLLY! DAT’s ROUGH. | The first deficiency of the colored people was to undervalue themseives, their opportunities, and, indirectly, their own capacities and powers. They are likely toexpect more fromothers than they have any right to expect. The colored people are too apt to beg and borrow rather than earn and make. Ralph Waldo Emerson sald that Pestalozzi, after years of labor, came to tite conclusion that no man could be helped or hindered by any one | but himself. So many schemes for petpatg men and women impaired the moral fibre of their race. It had been said that when the colored people were emancipated they were looking for forty acres and a mule to be given to cach of them. Why, the goverument was even more impoverished then than themselves, and was not in a position to give it; but supposing they had given either land or mule, his (Mr. Greeley’s) judgment was that the colored people would have been worse of with it than without it. The colored people evidentiy needed the utterance of these trulsms. CHAPPAQUA’S TOO READY BENEVOLENOE. The overthrow of slavery spoiled the business of black men, who for thirty years had been running away from slavery, always loge | their eye on the larg that he (Mr. Greeley) formerly had the bad habit of giving them, (Cheers.) This disposition to he benefited by others’ labors than our own, this kind of beggary was the prevailing vice of those colored peopte to-day, Mr. Greeley said he was grateful to nls parents for the common schoo education which a New England school had afforded him, and was gia that he had not been put through the mill of # regular education at the expense of some institu tion. This his parents had given him—Jjast that education which thety scanty means could adord, COMPARISONS ARE ODIOUS In contrasting the condition of the Febrews and the colored people, he gaid it was a significant fact that the Hebrews in fifteen centuries had never lost their faith in God and trust tn themselves.

Mr,’Greeley gave several instances within his own experience of the great benefits resulting from co-operation, including the well known development of the City of Greeley, in Colo- rado, which now had 30,000 acres in crops, with large four mills and workshops, and this was the result of years of labor and the putting in of $150 by each member, There were also two or three debating socteties, a college and other moral and intellectual helps, BECOME YOUR OWN LANDLORDS, “BREDREN.’?

He apprehended that thirty or | fiity years hence the colored people would not have the opportunity to buy land and to learn. trades they have now. It would have been easier to | have said pleasanter things than these, but he could | not, he thought, say anything more useful, He hoped they would be accepted in a kindly spirit. r. Greeley was loudly cheered at the close of his remarks. | ‘MR. GREELEY SERENAD ED. Mr. Greeley repaired to the Morgan House tmme- Lietall4 after the lecture, Inthe large part of the hotel he received the principal citizens of Pough- keepsie, tneluding State Senator Abiah W. Palmer, Rev, James Beech Porter, W. W. Hegeman, Henry Smith, J. G. Wood, Cyrus Swan, Mark D. Wilber and Henry Frost. The philosopher smiled his peculiar smile with his usual child-like bland- hess on all around him. He was surrounded by groups anxious to grasp the hand of Honest Horace, but politics was the tabooed subject of the night, Mr. Greeley gave no hint that he had heard any- thing about Cincinnati. Outside was a brass band playing national melodies, and fireworks and red, white and blue lights lit up the faces of the crowd before the balconies of the hotel, SENATOR PALMER'S SUBSTITUTE. Mr. Mark Wilber stepped out to the balcony and said it was expected that Senator Palmer would address those before him, but the peunece ag Bs, cian had forbidden him doing this. Mr. Wilber then referred to the great local advantages of the peng of the Hudson River Bridge bill, which Mr. ‘almer desired him to say was mainly due to the exertions of Mayor Eastman. Three cheers were given to the Senator and the Mayor. HORACE FACING THE MUSIO BARE-HEADED—THE AD- D After the band had discoursed more music Mr. Greeley, stepped upon the balcony bare-headed, “and with spectacles on nose.” He was received with loud cheers, Mr. Greeley said :— Fritow Crnizess or Pova! privileges of one who stand: ‘¥PsIz—It is one of the few my position that he [snot ermitted to make speeches, for it is feared by his friends hat it he did speak he might say something—(aughter)— which is not, perhaps, a very unnatural assumption.
