Certainly, they display more energy and intelligence by far than the CTiinese, in availing themsclvs of the benefits of our civilization. While Mr. Burlingame lived, there seemed great promise for the Chinese, but when he died there was an end to their efforts to move forward to a front rank among the nations, Minister De Loog attended the Japanese to this country, but did little else.

They have now specimens of our most valuable machinery, have sent Americans to Japan to aid in developing native skill, have placed their youth of both sexes in charge of our best colleges, and now propose to adopt our language. Out of all this must come rapid progress in civilization. "THE OHIO RIVER.

news from Berlin appears to point towards a reactionary pnlicy on the part of tbe German Empire. Count von Rood, the new President of the Ministry, has given indications that such a policy Utobe adopted. Tbe people, however, may not approve of any backward movement. The number of cams of frandalent Sen atorial elections Utely detected, is having a marked effect upon the people; causing many to speak out against the system of electing by State Legislatures, and in favor of a change authorizing all elections by the peopJe the tree source of power. It is also having the etfrct of casting smpi-coin on the election of almost every Unit- ed States Senator, no odd if he is as pure aa the angels.

Better make the change, and let the people cl xse direct.7 who their servants shall be. i Our local colunras will this morning give the foil details of the terrible calamity which occurred yesterd iy at the American Iron Works, in this city. This is not the i fljst time the firm of Jones fc Langhlins has met with disaster, aai thy will have the sympathy of the community. Their works are the largest in the city, employing many hundreds of hands and the explosion of yesterday will xilKless throw for a time many out of employment. Everything possible will be done to alleviate the distress ca.iswl among the poor workmen and their families by this fearfully sad casualty, and to this end, we sug gest that a public fund be raised.

The number killed and wounded is not at this writing known; but the loss of life and limb has been smiicieat to cause great dis tress. A mass aiEETiSrt of the citizen of Philadelphia is proposed in aid of the Cen tennial celebration. It is to be held at In dvpcnfcDM U-xll. on ck oX this month. the anniversary of Washington's birthday.

It is hoped in this way to enlist the sympathy and support of the mass of working people in favor of the enterprise, which otherwise might be oT-rloked and lost. The fcl is a good on, and it might be extended to citie. This celebration ought to be ma Je a sucoes, or, it should be dropped entirely. If it shall go on, every possible means should be adopted to insure its success, and to this end we think the waggestion of miss meetings a timely one. During the war nothing was so potent for good, as the meetings held all over the north in aid of Tolnntcerin and support of the Sanitary and Cari-t ah Commissions.

Can't the local committee get np one here? It is sot generally known that with the abolition of the franking privilege goes also the free exchange lifts of newspapers. We can stand this if the country can; but it will doubtless prove disastrous to some Journals, which depend almost wholly upon the columns of their exchanges for matter to nil their paper with. It will also tend to cut oft the usual varwty of news from all sections remote from the large cities. and build np the papers which use tbe telegraph liberally. We think on the whole the country would be better off to retain the law permitting free exchanges among the papers, and.

thus arT-rd a general diffusion of intelligence, and in this way ob tain fu'l value for all the expense entailed on the postal department. Bat, as we have already rem irked, tbe Gazette can stand the change, and will willingly pay passage on such pipers as are needed in mak ing up a full bmlet of daily news. As most of our intelligence c-iae direct from our own special telegraphic crrepondents and reporters, our readers wilt not suffer by the cutting down of a large exchange list. A writer in the Boston Globe wants to see more fuss made over the repeal of the franking privilege. He would like to have celebration over tbe matter, guns fired.

etc, as though a great national victory had faeen gained. For fifty years, it is true, efforts ha ve been miking to secure the searing off of this great fungus from the growth of the Postofuce Department, and some of the beat labors of some of the best of our public msn liaze been exerted in that direction, but so matter of fact have the people become over the reforms which the progressive Republican party have from time to time inaugurated, that the moaX radical rooting up of old Democratic w.ti and abuses scarcely nvmt than a remark. When poor old Hfrace re-lty, years ago, began battering soundly at the now defunct sys tem, and duly holding it up to public view, as the great drawback to our postal system. Democracy, the old sort, held the i of power and had the change been then, it would hive been strange enough and unlocked for enough to have demanded a pub'ic recognition by the firing of guns, But the Republican party has reformed so mmy old sins and iniquities ol their predecessors that the people have grown accustomed to the thing, and take it as a matterf course. TqPrkbidext Gravt, we understand from reliable sources, belongs the credit of the present good plan of placing tlie bonds of the government on the markets of the world zimultaneoiudy.

He has advocated and advised the system of the present moneyed syndicate from the first, whilst Mr. boutwell has adhered to his original plan of advertising the loans for ale, and soliciting subscriptions from the people. Under tbe plan now in operation tbe combination of wealthy bankers takes the entire loan, or aasnmes, fr the brokerage allowed, to place the amount on the markets of tbe world, and guarantee the subscription of tbe whole. The government by this means escapes the position of a dependent, asking tbe assistance of the people, and at the same time secures a better distribution of the "national blessings" viz the nation's bonds by securing customers from all civilized portions of the globe, at tbe same thne. Thus a more equable distribution is ac-ejnired, no one section is drained of its wealth, whilst the nation occupies the enviable position of a borrower, whose notes are in such demand, that the leading finaa- eiers ask perm ism on to take all that are oflered in the market at a reduced interest rate.

IX ME9SORSA3L-An opportunity is to be given the people toshow their appreciation of the Ufe kmg-ineat services of Horace Greeley by snbsenb-icg toward a memorial monument. be erected in Greenwood Cemetery, and will be paid for by tbe voluntary offerings of a grateful people. The movement is in no sense a political one, a-all who value the services of the great and good man in the interest of freedom and the advancement of the agricultural and industrial interests of the country, are asked to subscribe. It perhaps unfortunate that Mr.

Greeley was so lately a prominent partisan and the candidate of one of tbe great national political parties; yet it is hoped this fact will not interfere with a proper discharge of the obligation due from his countrymen, for whom, and fur whose vital interests he labored so long, so hard and so successfully. His name will go down to posterity, not as the defeated candidate as that tact will soon be forgetten but as the great journalist, and advocate of the people in their struggle for success, and the mastery over gigantic wrong. Greeley was preeminently the friend of the poor, often giv-of his means, and suffering thereby a sac rihee be could but illy withstand; and his heart always leaned toward the bumble and friendless whom society overlooked. His advocacy of what he deemed his country's best interests, too, was alwrys strong, fervid and courageous. His character is oue which we can well afford to constantly hold up before the youth of Amaiica, as an xamttle and a pattern.

Subscriptions to his monument will be received at all newspaper offices, aud the names of subscribers will be preserved in a memorial volume to be, after tbe completion of the work, deposited with the Historical Society. Any donations left with us will be forwarded to the proper place, with the names of the donors and their places of residence. WAR! WO. The bad effects of tbe late Franco-Ger man war, of which we have spoken, as applied to France, appear to have had an qually disastrous application in tbe cities of victorious Germany. War is a terrible affliction to any country, and disorganizes all classes of society, by drawing off the people from their legitimate sources of em ployment, in the first place, and entailing untold misery upon the families of soldiers killed and maimed in actual battle.

Dis ease, caused by exposure and fatigue, also tells with terrible effect upon the victors and the vanquished alike, often causing want and woe and misery upon thousands of households for long years after the wars have closed. Many of the cities in Ger many are to day no better off than those of France, the result of the lata war terrible work. From a pamphlet lately published in Germany on the "moral and social con dition of we learn that "out of a population of eight hundred and thirty-three thousand, one hundred and twenty-live thousand are receiving public charity. In ItfGT nine per cent, of tbe population lived in cellars, and twenty per cent, in crowded apartments. Since then two hundred thousand souls have been added to the population, and rents have increased tjratly, that tUe poor are compelled to piy nearly half their earnings for decent shelter, and numbers have been forced to ideep out-of-doors.

"It is said to be danger ous to go through the streets unarmed, be cause of the increase of tbe rowdy ele ments, and petty riots and conflicts with the police are frequent. More than half the population are working people, and tbe city has become the centre of the socialistic movement. Many of the workmen also openly favor community of wives. Di vorces have increased to ten per cent, of the number of marriages solemnized. The attendance at the churches has decreased to one per cent, of tbe adult population, Kid, of twenty-three thousand funerals in IH7 nearly twenty thousand were performed without any religious ceremonies whatever.

Women flock by thousands to Berlin to obtain employment, and, failing. large numbers fall into shame," This is a terrible picture of the domestic life of tbe mass of the people, and its remedy will tax the resources and the statesman ship of the Em pi re. Amid the wild huz- zas of the victorious army, the demons of want and misery were beclouded for a time, only to be now exposed in the pallid frees and shrunken form of the poor and lowly. A OVEL. PROPOSITION.

Minister Mori, the Japanese Ambassador to the I'nited States has written to Pro fessor Whitney, of Yale College, proposing the adoption of the English language for the entire Japanese empire. Whether he has government authority to support him dites not appear, but he claims to be sustained by all the educated men ol Ja pan who have studied the English lang uage. The Japanese vernacular has pro ven entirely inadequate to the expression of ideas gathered from us, and it is simply a question whether our language shall be adopted, or tbe range of their own expand ed to meet the growing want. The latter plan is felt to be impracticable, as no one can determine where tbe work of invention shall end, nor can a system be readily agreed on that will be generally acceptable. Moreover, it is generally felt Mr.

Mori claims that an established lang-guage that does meet the requirement, can be more readily adopted, than to attempt to enlarge the scope of a defective vernac ular. The Japanese language is mainly hieroglyphic corruption off tbe Chinese, and hence ill adapted, even to an enlarged vocabulary. There are difficulties, however, in the way of adopting the English, one being mir system of apelltng the other the jrrogu! aril of many of our forms. The latter, bowvor, is not peculiar to our Luiguagi, but may be found in all, including UieGre-k and Latin. It the outgrowth of what Mr.

Mori is net-king to avoid, the expansion of the language, The first criticum, however. Is nu new, and various attempts have been mute to remedy tlie evil, among theae that of phonetic spelling. It has been suggested that we drop from nse silent letter. whoe only value at the present is to guide philologists in tracing the etymology of words. If this were done, it would certainly simplify tbe language to thousand, and make it more easy of acquisition by foreigners.

Wc refer to the proposition, more however, toshow the intense earneKtneMi of the Japanese in their efforts to thoroughly comprehend our system of civilization. There are few things around which national pride concentrates more thoroughly than language. Some of the bitterest wars of Europe were inspired by this cause alone. Many of onr readers will remember the nVrce struggles of the Poles when the Russian Government sought to substitute the Russian In place of the Polish vernacular. One of the bitter grievances put forth by the people of Alsace and Lorraine, was because of the substitution of German in pl ice of the French language.

One of the ambitious projects of Louis Napoleon, while Emperor, was to make French the diplomatic and fashionable language of the world rightly estimating that this would give to French ideas and policy a vabt influence. Hence for a peeple to propose, voluntarily, to abandon their vernacular, which has been a spoken language for so many centuries, and to adopt that of a nation so young aa ours, argues intense earnestness in pursuing the new poUey they have so recently adopted. It seems entirely probable, judging from the data we have at command, that the ceeded in making theinclvea, felt it is hoped, in the right quarter; in getting hold of the right ears, so to speak, in im pressing the powers that be with the absolute necessity of doing something to improve the channel of the great natural highway of the nation the water line from the interior to the sea. When we remember that it is but 16 hours by rail from Xew York and 13 from Philadelphia or Baltimore to the Ohio, whence a magnificent water line communicates with the southern seaports of the country, draining almost the entire length, and by its tributaries the breadth of the continent, it seems impossible that Congress could thus far almost have shut its eyes and closed its ears to the gveat urgency of making this the National road for internal commerce. But such is the fact.

Ever since the great statesman, Henry Clay, for some unexplained reason, ridiculed the Ohio water route, by stating in Congress, that one half of the year it was frozen, and the other half dried up, our legislators, taking their cue from this incorrect statement, have turned a deaf ear to importunities from the west and 1 south for aid for the inland commerce, via. 1 the Ohio. Why this has been the case none can teU, unless we permit ourselves to believe that it was because no great Credit Jf jbHur pushed the ratter enter prise, by potent arguments, before a too willing National Legislature. The Ohio river and its tributaries would be of far more practical benefit to the people of the Unit ed States; of far greater national importance; a source of greater wealth and ad vantage to the manufacturing and commercial, and therefore to the agricultural industries of the whole country, if properly improved, than all the Pacific rtailruads that hare been or ever will be built. It is the proper outlet for them all; it it the source of their supply, and the hmUviy to the East and South (through Tennessee and Virginia) which affords the greatest facilities for an overburdened commerce.

Water eommanication for grains, flour and heavy manufactures never can bo supplanted by rail routes, if a half chance is given to it. Why is it that Congress all this time has been voting away millions of acres of the finest land and millions of the people's monAy, in aid of railroads to the West aud South, and done scarcely anything to open np the great route to the sea, via. the Ohio and Missis sippi In reflecting on tne interrogatory, the present investigation at Washington becomes disagreeably pertinent. How much would have been done for the Ohio had some mammoth company in its behalf scattered stock and dividends around the national capital We are permitted, from what has lately been developed, to believe that Harry Clay's half humorous remark 'ould not have operated quite as dUad- vantageouly to the interests of inland commerce had this been done. But we believe a better era is about to dawn at the metropolis that through the tribulations of Oake Ames victims, Feme- my, et id genus omntj good will yet come to the Rcpublir in many ways that the de mands for practical, valuable and necessary legislation will be promptly complied with in the future without the potent assistance of bribe money.

The President, lou, willing but wholly powerless, will again attempt to direct the attention of the representatives of the people to the great necessity of providing rapid water communication throughout the West and South, in order to meet the growing demands of trade in that direction, and to increase the nation's wealth and security. It is thought favorable legislation will come from this and that the long talked of improvement of the Ohio will soon be commenced. If tbe committee shall succeed in this they will deserve the thanks not only of their countrymen, but their names and their success-fid labors ought to be perpetuated to the latest period of time; for so long as the waters of the Ohio shall flow on to the sea, the good they will have accomplished will remain to bless and aid tbe whole people, and its importance will increase and grow with each year. Episcopal Advice to Policemen. The Bishop of Manchester, addressing a meeting of policemen the other day, said ha was not one of those stiff starched bishops who would tbink there was something wrong in the purposes for which the company present were assembled that night.

He understood there wan a temptation placed in the way of jol icemen to acquire a reputation for sagacity by leading on offenders into a trap, as he might say. He did not mean to say that any of his hearers had yielded to the temptation to do anything of the kind. But he asked policemen to try to prevent, instead of merely detecting crime. They must see many young lads and lasses of fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen years of age, who were going to the bad; and was it not worth while for policemen to say a word, or to do something in a friendly manner, to hinder these lads and lasses from following their evil course If a policeman managed to rescue a boy or girl from crime and he the Bishop) was sure the police sometimes had chances of doing so ho would have done something that ought to give him satisfaction for the whole of his life, and something much more blessed than the apprehension of a confirmed criminal. tieeing a Lire Heart Beat, One of the curious things in the phenomena of animal life is a sight of the first rudimentary stages in the development of a fifth.
