President Arthur's recent ventures in diplomacy and the consequent general discussion now pending as to the relations of the United States to other American countries suggest a review of the origin and purpose of the Monroe doctrine, which embodies the fundamental principle of the traditional foreign policy of the Federal Government. It was first promulgated by Mr. Monroe in his seventh annual message to Congress, Dec. 2, 1823, and was intended to oppose in the New World the absolutis tic tendencies fostered by the Holy Alliance in It will be remembered that the Holy Alliance was a compact entered into, shortly after the second abdication of the First Napoleon, by the Emperors of Russia and Austria and 'the King of Prussia, and afterward acceded to by most of the other European powers, with the notable exception of England and the Holy See.

Its ostensible object was the regulation of the States of Christendom on Christian principle but its real purpose was the maintenance of the doctrine of legitism or the divine right of in the interest of existing dynasties. Acoord ingly it provided that the Bonapartists should be forever excluded from the thrones of Europe. In attempting to give: it practical effect Austria suppressed the revolutions in Naples and Piedmont in 1821 and France restored absolutism in 1823. In 1818, Lord Castlereagh informed the American Ambassador, Mr. Bush, that England had been requested by Spain to mediate, with the co operation of the' Holy Alliance, between her and her rebellious colonies in America.

Mr. Bush replied that the United States would take no part in the proposed intervention if its basis were not the independence of the colonies. Five years later Mr. Bush had an interview with Mr. Canning on the same subject, and discovered that in the meantime the policy of the English Government had undergone a substantial change.

Castlereagh had been willing to interfere in colonial affairs in behalf of Spain but Wellington had taken opposite ground at the Congress of Verona, and Canning, was now prepared to antagonize theplans of the Holy Alliance provided he could secure the co operation of the United States. Bush, of course, communicated this fact to his own Government, and it was received with great satisfaction. Mr. Calhoun, then Secretary of War, declared that'the power of the Holy Alliance had become so formidable that even the United States had not felt safe from its intermeddling. Mr.

Monroe consulted Mr. Jefferson in regard to the expediency of accepting tke proffered help of England, and that eminent statesman expressed an unqualified approval of the projeet. He held that America, North and South, having peculiar interests, should have a political system framed in accordance with those interests, and founded on freedom. Qur first and fundamental maxim should be," he declared, never to entangle ourselves in the broils of Europe. Our second, never to suffer Europe to intermeddle with cis Atlantic affairs.

America, North and South, has certain interests distinct from those of Europe, and peculiarly her own. She should, therefore, have a system of her own, separate and apart from that of Europe. While the last is laboring to become the domicile of despotism, our endeavors should surely be to make our hemisphere that of freedom." Mr. Monroe prepared his; message in consonance with this view. declare," he wrote, "that we should consider any attempt (of the allied powers) to extend their system to any portion bf this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.

With the Governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling, in any other manner, their destiny by any European power, in 1 any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition towards the United States." The influence of 'the Holy Alliance was seriously, weakened bythe death of the Emperor Alexander, and was virtually terminated by the French revolution of 1830. Constitutionalism and liberalism have steadily advanced in Europe, and there seems to be no longer any reason to fear the forcible importation of absolutism into any American country. The political system of the New World is strong and safe under the protection of the United States. But, while the Monroe doctrine is not so immediately urgent as formerly it was, there are still strong bonds of natural 1 alliance between them. Increasing facilities of intercourse must bring them into closer and ever closer commercial relations, and this fact will become of more and more importance as the material development of Mexico, Central America and South America respond to that of the United States.

It is a grand idea, that of a whole hemisphere held together in one great confederacy of independent ationalit ies by a common love of freedom and mutual Commercial and industrial interests. Mr. Arthur realizes the sublimity of tho conception; but he would push its application too fast and too far. Worldwide consummations of peace, prosperity and progress are the worthiest inspirations of statesmanship, but they should not be purchased at too great expense to important local interests. Let us hasten the completion of every means of intercourse, and leave the adjustment of special trade regulations to the gradual indication of circumstances.

We have just received the sad intelligence of the death of Albert Sidney. Johnston, only son of CoL Wm. Preston' Johnston and Duncan, and grandson of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston and of Judge Duncan, of this city. He died on the 9th insti, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, from an attack of typhoid fever.

Only twenty four years of age, at the dawn of his young manhood, just when hope is most alluring and life is glorified with seeming promise, he was called, the duties of time to the awards of. eternity; To his bereaved parents, and to his many relatives and friends here and elsewhere, we tender a heartfelt sympathy. THE SENATORIAL ELECTIONS. The terms of twenty five "United States Senators expire March 4, 1885. Eleven of them are Republicans and fourteen Democrats.

Successors have already been elected to four Gen. John S. Williams of Kentucky is succeeded by Bepresentative Joseph C. S. Blackburn, a brilliant man, but decidedly unequal to Senator Beck in intellectual weight Benjamin F.

Jonas of Louisiana is succeeded by the representative of the Ring, James B. Eustis; ex Go v. James B. Groome of Maryland is succeeded by Judge Ephraim K. Wilson, who is in his sixty fifth year, has had ample experience both judicial and legislative, and will make a strong Senator and George H.

Pendleton of Ohio is succeeded by the venerable Judge Henry B. Payne, who would be a large improvement on Pendleton if the latter were not cast in so splendid a mold. Five have been re elected: James L. Pugh of Alabama, an able veteran of lifelong experience, in his sixty fifth year; Joseph E. Brown of Georgia, a few months younger, whose sturdy sound sense makes his services invaluable William B.

Allison of Iowa, who has served well eight years in the House and twelve in the Senate, and is nearly fifty six years old; the gallant Wade Hampton of South Carolina, who is nearly sixty seven and Justin S. Mor rill of Vermont, who has sat in Congress thirty consecutive years and could hardly be spared he is nearly seventy five years of age. Thus far the Senate has not received much deterioration, while this is more than compensated by the gain in weight. We are glad to observe that the same general fact of a Senate ally equal in force and character to the present body is to be confirmed by the sixteen elections which with a single exception will occur this month. The following are about sure of re election Orville H.

Piatt of Connecticut, in his fifty eighth year, a good man; Wilkinson Call of Florida, '51; John J. Ingalls of Kansas, one of the smartest rising men of the Senate, 51 he has served twelve years already George G. Vest of Missouri, 54, a careful, practical legislator John P. Jones of Nevada, 54, his third term; and probably we may add Zebulon B. Vance of North Carolina, 54, and Daniel W.

Voochees of Indiana, 57, one of the best Senators. Of the remaining nine seats, that from New York is contested by Levi P. Morton, Minister to France, and William M. Evarts, ex Secretary of State. the former has money, the latter brains, and it is not impossible for a dark horse to slip in between them.

They are both strong Republicans. The seat from Arkansas is sharply contested for by Gov. Berry, Congressman Dunn, and others. J. Donald Cameron is stoutly opposed' in Pennsylvania by friends of Judge Kelley, Gen.

Beaver, and others, It is intimated that Secretary Teller has things fixed for his election from Colorado, to succeed Prof. Hill. Secretary Chandler is making a bold fight for Senator Blair's seat from New Hampshire, and it is to be hoped that he wilt not get it Blair is as good a man as we can hope to have from that State. Col. John C.

Spooner, a strong Republican and an eloquent speaker, long known as one of the best lawyers in Wisconsin, has the inside track for Judge Cameron's seat. Nobody knows who will win. Gen. Logan's seat from Illinois the Legislature is a tie, if we count Haynes as a Democrat, and there is not much chance of his voting for Logan. The seats from California and Oregon will be given to strong Republicans, who are likely to be railroad men.

There are ten candidates in Oregon and several in California, including Gov. Stanford, the President of the Central Pacific Railroad, It is probable that he will oly run if necessary to prevent the election of an anti railroadman. The political complection of the Senate remains uuchanged; the Republicans gain one. each in California and Oregon, and may lose one in Illi nois. The Woman's Department of the Exposition.

There is to be another meeting of ladies at the St. Charles Hotel Batuiday afternoon. At this meeting farther efforts will Toe made to raise the money necessary to install the exhibits of the Woman's Department at the Exposition. 1 The entertainment glren for this purpose Tuesday night by Joaquin Miller and Mrs. Howe is said to have netted (600.

The sum of $3000 is needed immediately to pay the expenses of unpacking, arranging, making showcases, and putting the exhibits up In an attractive shape. The ladies of New Orleans ate appealed to to raise this sum. Evei dollar contributed or raised for this putpose by the ladies of New Orleans will be placed in the hands of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, of Boston, and doubtless will be Judiciously expended. Thlsjmoney is necessary and must be raised, and it seems to be conceded by the male management of the Exposition that it must be raided by the ladies.

More Is the pity, for it does seem as if the male management, in expending a couple of million dollars, or more, solicited from the National Government, State and city, and private subscriptions of the rich and poor, for the display of the works of man, ought to have been able to have squeezed out a poor little 93000 a less sum than has been paid in at the Exposition gates by ladies in one day for the proper arrangement and exhibit of woman's work, which should be as Important and interesting as anything at the Exposition. But the ladies of New Orleans, we feel will not let the department languish, and will accomplish what they are asked to do. KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN RULE. Loaleiana Castle. No.

There was some talk of producing Excelsior" here for a run: but previous engagements prevented securing the theatre, and the project has been abandoned. Another season the Klral fya will bring something big here but after next Saturday the company and ballet goes on the road with "Black and "Around the World," and will be seen here no more this season. Buffalo Bill will appear at the St.

Charles Theatre Sunday mght In one of his old time dramas, The Prairie Waif," supported by a competent dramatic company. Mr. Milton Nobles, in "Love and Law," continues at the Academy of Music. Mr. Roland Reed, always a popular comedian here, appears at the Academy Sunday night in his drama called Cheek.

Miss Mattle Vickars, wbo came here a stranger, has no cause to complain of her reception at the Grand Opera House. Mr. J. A. Simon and his dramatic company appeared in "Solomon Isaacs" at the Grune wald Opera House last night to a large audience.

The performance was tor the benefit of the Joseph A. Mower Post No. 1, Grand Army of the Republic, and the venture was a success. On Sunday night Miss Grace Hawthorne, an American girl, under the management of Mr. W.

W. Kelley, will appear at the Grune wald Opera House in a new version of Ca mille," supported by Wm. Harris and other performers of merit. Robinson's Dime Museum has new attractions, both in the curiosity hall and in the theatre below, and is doing well. The ten cent circus is doing well at Farau ta's Theatre.

Great preparations are being made for the illustrations of national Mexican sports, including a mimic bull fight. The first entertainment will be given Sunday afternoon at the amphitheatre near the Exposition Grounds. The sale of subscription tickets for the season for Her Majesty's Opera Company, at tbe Bt. Charles Tueatre, opened at Grune wald's music store, on Canal street, yesterday, and was quite active. The indications are that Madame PattJ and other great singers that Mapleson will bring here, will have no cause of complaint on account of their reception here.

Tbe German Imperial Band, playing for the benefit of the Touro Infirmary, had a fair audience at the Washington Artillery Hall last night. There will be another concert to night, with a change of programme. The Buffalo Bill Wild West Show at Oakland Park is good when the weather is good. The weather also decides whether or not fireworks will be given at the same place tonight. THE BETHEL.

v'; Being totally blind with cataract, four years ago I had an operation performed on my eye by an eminent surgeon. The result was not good, and I became very much discouraged; but, hearing such good reports of Dr. Prentice, I had him operate on my eye the last of April, 1884, aud with the eye Dr. Prentice operated on I can see to read and write, also read small Bigns across the street.

A theory of treatment has prevailed for a time, been thoroughly tried, found useless, and finally abandoned, to give way to some new theory, that goes through the same course of trial and failure, and so on almost ad finitum, until not only the patients, but the physicians, have become discouraged of ever finding a cure. Well do I remember the faith of the profession in the "nasal douch" fifteen years ago. All kinds of medication in their turn were used in this apparatus. Then we tried the steam and various mechanical atomizers for throwing medicated spray into the various sinuses, terior nasal syringes, bottles and jars, with breathing tubes for inhaling air that passes through medicated liquids. All these modes have had advocates, and still have a few zealous supporters: but my experience tells me that even the most zealous practitioners of thARe treatments will in time follow in the footsteps of those who have been over the field, and abandon them as useless.

Why Because the principle is wrong. Any medicine sufficiently powerful to repair the lesion or cure the disease, in being inhaled into the lungs would injure the delicate structure of the bronchial tubes, and only hasten that dreaded disease in which Catarrh so often ends Consumption. Of the varied forms of Catarrh Acute, Hay Fever, Passive, Hypertrophic, Supura tive and we can truly say that we do not know of one case that has not been cored by properly using The English Catarrh Cure, which has made permanent cures ia from one to' three months, in cases that have tried all other remedies for years without help. Prentice has the sola, right to use the English Catarrh Cure in this country. Over a thousand bad cases of Catarrh have been permanently cured by this ucatiucuu, una luuuwuig ucuig ample of many 'A New Orleans Zietter.
