The Deliberative Council of the Ancient Nation Assembled in Session. A Great Work in Progress--Shap- ing Out a Constitution. An Imperial Address and Ele- mental Legislation. The Rights and Liberties of the Newspaper Press Sharply Defined. The American Nationalism and Its Offi- cia! Complications. Toxto (Javvo), July 12, 1875, The convocation of the Chihokuan Kuaigi, or Assem- bly of Provincial Governors, heretofore described, on the 20th of June, was quickly followed by the opening ofthe more important deliberative body, Genro In, on the 5th inst.” The limited functions of, tho first named gathering have been explained in a previous letter, ‘Those of the latter cannot now be fully set forth, for the reason that their ultimate scope is undetermined, and no person is aware of the extent of power with which the members may in time be intrusted. The rank assigned to them upon receiving their appointment is so hgh that affairs of the very first consequence may be con- fided to them incase of need. They stand upon the same grade as the officials known as Sangi or Chief Councillors of State, differing from them only in the cir- cumstance that their salaries are lower. The personal distinction, moreover, attaching to many of the Genro In is altogether exceptional. i ITS ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS. It includes not only citizens of eminence in scholar- ship and political training, but also representatives of the oldest nobility, beginning with a member of the im- perial family—the Mikado’s eldest uncle. Efforts have been made in the composition of this body to inveat it with a dignity, as weil as a reputation, for practical abil- ity that shall entitle it to complete confidence in what- ever duties it may finally be called upon to discharge. But, for the present, those duties will not be of a very extensive nature. This is partly owing to the fact that the long standing differences in the government are not wholly adjusted, so that the time for a new administra- tive departure has not yet come, and partly to the ex- treme caution with which it is felt that this parliament- ary experiment must be regulated at the outset, It must start slowly and feel its way before attempting any dar- ing flights of legislation or speculative debate. For a while, therefore, it will not go beyond the discussion of executive reforms and the framing of enactments upon subjects that shall be suggested by the Imperial Council or Daijokuan. It cannot originate its own topics of con- sideration, nor can it take final action upon such as are presented to it. It can act only as a sort of general com- mittee for the preparation of reports upon all matters submitted, which reports will bo re- tarned to the higher body for approval or rejection, as the case may be. To Western observers the labor will not appear to be of an elevated kind, but to those who follow the course of events here it is clear that much good work may be accomplished, even within the prescribed restrictions, It has long been apparent that the Dajjoknan is overburdened with the com- bination of tasks it has imposed upon itself, It has conceived, discussed, arranged, put into effective shape and finally executed all the administrative measures of the last seven years. Every national movement has been originated, elaborated and carried into operation by its action alone. As an inevitable consequence the public interests have often suffered. The small body of men, less than twenty in number, who have thus dk rected the entire affairs of the Empire, have not had time, even if they had always possessed the ability, to make such careful preparation of their proceedings and enactments as was often requisite. In many instances serious errors have resulted from the want of sufficient and intelligently directed investigation of questions of vital moment. It is intended that the work of the Genro In shall remedy this defect. A member of the Imperial Council, Ito, the Minister of Public Works, has been nominated chief of a bureau which will gather to- gether all matters demanding careful scrutiny and trans- mit them to the new Assembly. There they will receive minute attention in all details, and will take such form as will enable the Council to decide upon them with the advantage of the various lights that may have been brought to bear, and, probably, with fewer doubts and delays than heretofore. THE OPENING OF THE SESSION. ‘The ceremonies of opening the Genro In were similar to those ,of the inferior assembly a fortnight before, ‘The Emperor was escorted from his residence by troops and accompanied by bunds of music, and was received with the customary forms by princes, Daijin or chief ministers, Sangi or councillors, and other officials, His Majesty delivered the following brief ADDRESS. Thave come to you, Gikuan (title of members), to open in person your chamber. As I have recently prociaimed, you have been appointed to constitute the Genro In, and important measures of the future will be passed by’ you. I trust that you will discharge your duties to the best of your ability, and will direct your efforts to the establish. ment of peace and concord among all classes, high and low, of the Empire. All of you are ordered to aid in the works I have undertaken, and not to forget my words. AT WORK, , The Assembly was then organized, with the Vice Presi- dent, Goto Shojiro, in the chair, The office of president is still lef’ vacant. To a certain extent the Genro In may now be regarded as a co-ordinate branch of the government, which has hitherto consisted virtually of the Sei In, or Daijokuan, alone. And, to be more ex- plicit, the Sei In is composed of, first, the Emperor, who presides at its meetings whenever he chooses, though his visits are not frequent; second, the three Daijin, or Great Vassals, Sanjo, Shimadzu and Iwakura; and third, the half score or so of Sangi, several of whom, in addi- tion to their office of councillor, hold also the position of chiefs of departments. All these are nominally ap- pointed by the Emperor, but practically the selections are made by themselves. A governing body so consti- tuted might naturally be supposed to possess strength to set opposition and faction at defiance; but it is not always 80, Internal dissensions are ite first elements of weakness, and these are craftily turned to advantage by the influential leaders outside the circle of power, who are aspiring, openly or secretly, to the succession, or, at least, to participation in the highest honors of tho State. THE PROVINCIALS IN COUNCIL. The small assembly of provincial officers has con” tinued its meetings regularly since June 20, and has shown a good deal of skill in the treatment of the sub- ects placed before it and an’ unexpected quality of promptness in the disposition of its business, At Arst the debates were somewhat turbulent and irregular, as ‘was natural in an initial attempt to conduct affairs on parliamentary principles. In the words of one of the native newspapers, “Addresses were heard proceeding from every side, as though the members were advancing to battle, eager to exhibit their prowess.” This confu- sion of oratory was, however, speedily calmed, and two of the five questions under consideration were earnestly and sensibly discussed and settled, as far as it was in tho power of this body to settle them, by the 5th of this month. ‘Phese were the establishment of a system of police regu- Jations for the whole nation and the adoption of plans for the construction and repair of roads, bridges, &c, But, rapid as the work had been, it was found that only six days of the session remained, and it was determined to postpone or drop altogether two of the remaining sub jects and concentrate attention upon that of greatest in- ‘Werest—viz, the future establishment of a genuine pop- war and representative assemblage, This is now re- ceiving attention, CLOSED DOORS—RDITORIAL RECLAMATION, When it was announced that the newspapers would not be allowed to report the proceedings of this conven- tion, the editors of Jeddo were extremely bitter in com- plaint, and protested the exclusion with unan+ mous’ acrimony, but @ mach heavier blow has since befallen _— which, owing to a reflective chango that has over the spirit of their productions, is rocoived with mach Seemgestliey, gst here at rae strance, This is the passage Oo! regulations, intended to curtail the somewhat seditious freedom of their utterances. ‘THR PROGRESS OF JOURNALISM in this countey Jad been a gublect for curious apecula- fon. Four years ago there was not such a thing asa | daily newspaper in existence.' The first was established in 1872, and its success was so immodiate that a score of rivals successively entered the new field of competition, A few of these were clever, others dull and some utterly inane. No restrictions, practically, were placed upon them, although they were admonished in a general way that they must not touch dangerously upon topics that the government was not prepared to open for Pi egend discussion. For a while this warning was duly sagertes, but the temptation to open fire with the moW Weapons uipon aft available targets, high and low, soon became irresistible, and it was not long before the fuct became evident that nothing was sacred from the criticism or abuse of atly Writer Who chox to UBT sr shot.

No person, either in bis official or private station, was free from assault. The members of the government were arraigned by name, often accused with wild injustice of the grossest misdeeds, and held up to execration 98 meriting instant deposition or death, The sovereign himself was made tho mark of ridicule, and [ presume it is not necessary to say that during this period of transition, when the chrysalis of ancient su- perstition is only beginning to break, and while the unassailable supremacy of the Mikado is'still the central principle that controls the whole system of government, any attempt to weaken the respect attaching to his prestige is justly regarded as a political crime of the first mugniiude. As affairs move now in Japan, if the personal dignity of the Emperor fulls it is dificult to say what can stand, The evil could not be checked by in- direct reproof, and it could not be expected to outgrow itself, Tn a discussion upon the subject by the Imperial Council some members were opposed to passing any fresh edicts, taking the ground thatthe power of the government was sufficient to punish any criminal act, 4s the occasion might arise, without giving notification of its intention. ‘This is true enough, for tho system of rule in Japan is of course suficiently absolute to enablo such cases to be arbiprarily dealt with at any moment, But others felt that a course fike this,would’ be wholly at variance with the motives that are‘how supposed to guide the counsels of the nation, and insisted that due ‘warning ought to be given in order that the proprietors and editors of newspapers might know precisely what to oxpect in fature and govern themselves accordingly. The regulations were promulgated on the first of this month. I have examined them very carefully, and I do not hesitate to say that they are less rigid, all circum- stances considered, and involve less risk of’ hardship or, injustice than the French laws relating to journalism under the Empire, ‘This may not be saying much, to be sure, when judgment is applied from a liberal stand- point; but then this is Japan, an old Asiatic Empire, Just starting im the course of reform; and if an occa ‘sional weight of caution be not imposed the whole ma- chinery of action may be imperilled. PRESS REGISTRATION, In brief, the new decree is that newspapers must be registered, that responsibility is one of the conditions of proprietorship, that articles. must be signed by their writers and that seditious publications are forbidden, Special penalties, not excessive, are provided for in- fractions of these rules. ‘The native press accepts them with a cheerfulness that oddly contrasts with the petu- lance displayed a few days ago upon the question of the free reporting of public debates, and which suggests the consideration that, upon being thus reminded of mis- chievous extravagance into which they had fal'en, the writers have been impelled to a fair review of their own. transactions, and haye reached the conclusion that the check was not undeserved. Some of them, indeed, have candidly avowed as much, and there seems to be no very serious dissatisfaction in any quarter. The do- lighitful feature of the business, however, Is that the English press of Yokohama, which is in no possible way concerned, has thrown itself into paroxysms of horror” over the edict, and exhausted itself for a week in repeti- tions of furious denunciation such as, I venture to say, are seldom exhibited in other parts of the world. Give certain of the Yokohama papers the fraction of an op- portunity and you shail see them move storms and make all split und roar that it will do any man’s heart good to hear them; and if the Japanese government were not all the time aware that it is only Bottom, the weaver, who rails Sgainat I really think it might sometimes get annoy: AMERICAN NATIONALISM. The Fourth, or rather fifth, of July, passed very quietly, with fow demonstrations of any sort on the purt of American citizens, Mr. Bihgham and General Van Buren had receptions in the evening, and that was all ‘There was no sound of artillery in Yokohama Harbor, for the reason, it is said, that the United States ships Saco and Kearsarge, which now represent the navy, are not “saluting ships,” and of course the cannon of other nationalities and of the forts on shore could not opeu their mouths without an invitation from the Americans, AND WHY WAS IT 80? One reason for the lack of zeal is the entire absence of harmony—to put it as mildly as possible—between the | various departments of the public service of the United States in this neighborhood. The Legation is in undis- guised hostility with the Consulate General; the Con- sulate General is at war within itself, and the navy will have nothing to do with the head of the office in Yoko- hama, These are unpleasant facts, but they are so no- torious as to have become a public scandal, aii I do not see that any good purpose can be served by attempting to conceal them. There is a class of well: meaning but extremely short-sighted Americans in Japan—the majority for aught I know—who hold to a theory that whatever the misdeeds of our representatives we should all combine to hide them from exposure and carry out a smiling pretence of serene content when we are Secretly writhing with mortitication under the dis- grace of which we all have to take a little share. This is the policy of the ostrich, which thrusts its head under the sand and thinks it has defied detection. I have no faith in it, The true course is to throw the strongest light upon everything and then if ugly spots appear there is reason to hope that their shadows may in time reach as far as Washington and that we may be relieved of the canses of our social or diplomatic discomforts, or at least that a decent care may be taken to preserve us from them in future, BRITISH DISREGARD FOR JAPANESE RIGHTS, ‘A criminal trial of considerable importance has re- cently taken place in the British Consular Court in Tokio, which is remarkable as having brought forward new proof of the utter disregard for Japanese rights which inspires the majority of the British community in Japan and of the settled conviction that justice ought not to be impartially administered in cases where natives seek redress from foreigners. ‘An Englishman, named King, was charged with rape, committed upon a girl thirteen years old, wservant in a wayside tea house. There are two sorts of tribunals before which British offenders in this region may be brought, One is a branch of the Provincial Court of China and Japan, which sits in Yokohama, and in which the decisions are given by ajury of five. The other is the court.of the Consul, in which the decision fests _ab- solutely with that official, although he is usually as- sisted and to some extent guided in his judgments by assessors, selected from the citizens of his own coun- t In this case the trial took place before the Consul. 'The proofs of guilt were ample and conclusive. Never- theless, the three assessors gave their opinion in favor of a verdict for acquittal, The Consul, determined that no miscarriage of justice should be laid against him, | took the unusual course of setting aside the views of his associates and rendering the decision which his sense of integrity and probity demanded. King was convicted and sentenced. Whereupon an outcry from the whole British public that the most cherished privilege of the subject—the right of trial by jury—had been invaded, It was claimed that inasmuch as a jury trial might have been obtained by sending the criminal to Yokohama, it was an oppressive act to subject hit to a judgment ‘depending upon the will of one man alone, It is needless to say that if the verdict had been favorable none of this clamor would have been heard. But the fact was patent that it was only by aconsular trial that the ends of strict justice could possibly have been accomplished. Any English jury in Japan would have acquittgl the prisoner, precisely as Une assessors would have done if they had been able, This fact is known and candidly proclaimed. Mine ill lacryme, The grief is not that he should havo been tried otherwise than by jury, but that he should have been tried in any way galculated to give him a chance of conviction, : All of which shows again that, In the minds of a large proportion of the English residents here, the Japanese, and particularly Japanese women, have uo rights that foreigners are bound to respect, HARBOR PROTECTIONS. THE CONDITION OF OUR BUOYS—WHAT THE PILOTS SAY—SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE LIGHTHOUSE BOARD, A lotter published lately in the London Times signed “An Englishman,” made serious complaints of the con- | dition of the buoys in the harbor of New York, and | stated, in substance, that in Gedney’s Channel, the | Swash and the main channel the buoy were outof posi- tion, and that, in fuct, none of the prominent buoys were | intheir right place, Headded that nocountry but Amer. fea would suffer such a state of affairs to exist, and that itwas a disgrace to any civilized country. The letter | concludes with a statement that the pilots receive $400 for bringing a vessel into New York harbor, A Herat reporter called at the office of the Pilot Commissioners, in Burling slip, to inqufre into the truth of the charges made by “An Englishman.” In the ab- sence of Mr. Blunt, Mr. Nash, the secretary of the Com: missioners, was spoken to, He said that in the main the charges made by the writer in the London Times were correct, The Pilot Commissioners had nothing to do with the placing of buoys in the harbor, This be- longed to Commodore Trenchard, United States Navy. ‘This gentleman appeared to pay proper attention to the matter, and had invited notice of anything being wrong, But the Board had been im the babit of semdiing notices whenever apything Was ont of position, and had got red of dot Ig 80 because they appeared to be disre- arded, a everal pilots were parties to the conversation. They repudiated indignantly the charge that they received $400 for bringing any kind of a ship into harbor. The price for bringing in an average steamship, say drawing ing twenty-two fect, was $143, and no more. As to the | buoys, wag notorious that in Coa fy Channel! and the Swash they were out of position, No accidents had yet happened in consequence, bat it might result in serious damage, In winter thexe buoys were constantly carried away by the op, whereas other buoys placed by the Navy Department remained. This was a proof that if buoys were anchored securely enough they could be made to stay, The trouble was, no doubt, that the buoys were not anchored by sufficient weight, Lron ought to be used instead of stone, which host much of its weight under water. But even at present, in midsummer, many of the buoys were out of position and needed adjust- ment, It was a wonder that somo disaster had not hauvened im conseaucnce, DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL. MEPTING OF PROMINENT DEMOCRATS FROM ‘THE VARIOUS ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS AT TAMMANY HALL YESTERDAY-——LAYING THE PIPES FOR THE ELECTION OF DELEGATES TO THE STATE CON- VENTION, Under a misapprehension ono of the secretaries ot the Tammany Hall Committee on Organization yester- aay trae a call for a mecting of the committee, where- athe moctse What'was intended to be called was simply of the leading deniscrats in cach asscmbly’ district. The object of the meeting was that an inter change of views might be haa and some conclusion ar- rived at as to the time when primaries should be held in the various Assembly districts for the election of delegates to the Assembly district. conventions, which in their turn are to eloct delegates to the State Convention which is to be held at Syracuse on the 16th of next month, In the days when the Ring was in power it was the habit of the “Boss”? and his associates. to issue a formal call for the primaries, at which delegates were supposed. to be elected to go to the State Convention. ‘This kind of thing was always considered by THE COUNTRY DEMOCRATS as unrepublican, and they always growled about it at the conventions; but the ‘Boss’? never failed to find Means necessary to put an end to every incipient re- volt against the one man or one organization proclama- tion business, When, after the Court House frauds had come to light, the Ring delegates succeeded in getting ad- mitted into the Convention by the skin of their teeth, the Convention passed a resolution which virtually de- clared that the method of Tammany was no longer to bo tolerated; and that, without being ‘‘called” by any dis- tinetive democratic organization, the democrats in each Assembly district thereafter, in electing delegates to State conventions, should assemble as per agreement ‘among themselves, first, to elect the delegates, not to the Convention, but to the district conventions, which in their turn should elect delegates to the Convention. This was the object sought to be obtained by the Conven- tion of '71, and it was to conform to that resolution that the anti-Tammany democrats at their primaries and dis- trict conventions last month went through the for- mula prescribed. Sine 1871 Tammany Hall as an organization to secure the delegates she desired has always “requested” the various districts to hold their primaries at a given time, and, of course, the request has always beon heeded, No dovbt the late action of ‘THR ANTI-TAMMANYITES has made the Sachems a little cautious, and they have apparently determined that when the democratic deie- gation from this city goes to Syracuse this year it will be of the pure Tammany stamp and none oth ‘And there was good reason for this caution, for if the Tammany democrats should not, in the manner of the election of their delegates, conform strictly to the rule taid down by the Convention of ’71, and the anti-‘Tammany- ites, with a delegation chosen properly, should do- mand admigsion to the coming Convention as the only rightful democratic delegation from this city, it is easy to pereeive there would be considerable trouble for THE DEVOTEES OF THE WIGWAM. But the Sachems always sleep with one eye open, av the meeting of the prominent democrats from tho various Assembly districts yesterday at the Wigwam proves, These democrats were even careful enough not to organize themselves formally by the election o! chairman, but the mecting was considered by commom consent one of consultation only, and every one, there- fore, had his little talk and big talk, a8 he’ chi without any fear of points of order being r: or gavels going down to his confusion and dis- may when rounding off a period. Among those present were a majority of the members of the Committee on Organization, who very naturally were on hand becauso of the misapprehension in the call that had been issued for a meeting of that committee. Thus every Assem- bly district was represented. ‘The talk that was in- dulged in was general about everything and anything that concerned the primaries that are to be held, and by common consent 4t was finally decided that the mem- bers from all the Assembly districts present should in- vite their fellow democrats to MURT AT A GIVEN PLACE on the 30th inst., between seven and nine P. M., when primaries will be held to elect delegates to the Conven- tion which is to elect delegates to the State Canven- tion, It will be the business of each Assembly district convention thus elected, of course, to meet at whatever time it deems best before the State Convention meets to clect its three delegates to the latter. So Tammany, it will be seen by this action, is not going to let its dele- gation be “bounced” out of the Convention, at least if regularity is to be the only test of admission. DEVILLING THE PLEBES. THE RECENT ATTEMPT TO ‘DEVIL” CADET ERWIN—CONSTERNATION AMONG THE CADETS— ACTION OF THE WAR DEPARMENT. West Port, N. Y., August 16, 1875. ‘What the “wards of the nation’ are continually up to here in the way of deviltry is not known, for the simple reason that it has never been fully exposed, The con- tempt with which the colored cadet Smith was used and the general ostracism he received from all the other cadets on the post is little compared with many other schemes and mancuvres of the great majority of the older students, Some few days ago, you will remember, the Heratp published an article in relation to the practice of “Devilling the Plebgs.”” The charge, I be- lieve, was first made public through the columns of the Highland Falls Jowrnal, a paper recently started at the “Falls” in this town, which is but a short distance south of the Point. It charged that Cadet Erwin was roughly handled and would have been ‘‘ditched’’—that is, rolled in the ditch—if he had not been plucky and possessed of enough ‘clear grit” to take his own part. It was also charged that clubbing the plebes and wounding one with a bayonet was the result of the “devilling” practice attempted by the cadets, This ar- ticle, ag is natural to suppose, caused considerable stir among the embryo generals and colonels who are being tutored at the expense of the country. It was the theme of conversation for all, and the Igaders in the attempt to “devil? Cadet Erwin shook in their ‘boots’ lest a big time might be made over the affair, and they be decap> tated and removed from the Post. Their fears were vis- ible in all directions, and they lost no time in denying the truth of the statement made by the paper named, Seeing the article copied in the Newburg Journal one of their number, undor the signature of “C. ©.,”” which no doubt stands for Cadet Corps, hurriedly replied to the editor of tne Newburg paper. 4C. C.”’ says the “account is grossly inaccurate, Nobody attempted to put Cadet Erwin in the ditch; nobody was clubbea; nobody was severely wounded. The whole alfuir was accidental, Av slight flesh wound was ‘THR ONLY CASUALTY.” Now it sounds very well to say that the “whole affair was accidental;"’ but the bottom is knocked completely out of that theory when the truth is told. The older cadets aro a ‘cute set of young fellows generally, and by experience become very proficient in the practices they carry out to torment and ridicule the plebes. As they “grow older in the service” they get bolder and more defiant, They manage to screen themselves from the rigid vigilance of their superiors, and by repeated sno ceases in this respect fancy that their, to say the least, very disrespectful work will never come to light. Im sone eases, however, they calculate Yeron, and Cadet Erwin’s is one of them. ‘The denial they have made as above given doos not sufficiently answer the charge pre- sented against them, It is something of the legal denial of each and every allegation, but often times ‘each and every allegation” is fully ‘sustained when the plaintiff takes his case into court, And in the case under con- sideration it is universally believed here that the High- land Falls paper has established the fact of “devilling the plebes,” as it recently charged, After Cn aeypelr | upon the communication, signed “0, ©." this pal ctoatly shows that the practice of “deyilling’’ prevails, and concludes by stating that at least one thas been beheaded for it and anothor is reported to be going the same way, The one removed is Cadet Seriven, of the third He was publicly.dismissed on Monday last by order of the Secretary of War for molesting a cadet sentinel, $eriven is the one who was so severely in- jured in the recent fracas. The other one who is said Will follow Scriven ts Cadet Captain Borup. ——— MUTINY OF A STEWARD. HE POURS KEROSENE OL ON THE Poop, Jobn W.

Returning on board of the ship he exhibited muck excitement, and became involved in a hand to hand fight with bis captain, Franklin P, Shepherd, during E which both combatants were injured. During that night, it 1s alleged, Evans procured m can of kerosene oil and poured its contents into packages of ship's stores, composed of flour, beans, dried apples, &e., rendering them unfit for use, He then, it, is alleged, broke the signal lanterns and did other damage, Captain Shepherd made a com- plaint before the United States Consul at Nuevitas, and, under his orders, placed Evans In irons to be brought to New York as a mutincer, He acknowledged, it tw alleged, to the mate, that he (Ryans) had the power to barn ‘the schooner, but he did not do 60, On the arrival here of the vessel the prisoner was arrested by a United States deputy marshal and taken belore United States Commissioner Stilwell, Evans acknowledged the trath of the charges, but claimed that he was not responsible, because he was drunk and “did not know what he was doing.” He made a lengthy defence, stating in it that he was @ re- fined gentleman, and denounced the officers and erew im unmeasured terms for keeping him in close confinement during the homeward voyage of forty-two days He bt held to await the action of Lhe Uuited States Grand jury,
