Friday Morning, February 9, 1872.

The British Free Trade League at New York have caused a pictorial handbill to be posted all over the country, in which it is stated our railways are taxed by our government, through the tariff, $3,000 a. mile on Bessemer steel rails, while it is a notorious fact that by the means of the tariff American steel work* have been set in operation, by which the price has been reduced from $150 per ton in gold lo $105 per ton currency, probably a reduction of $5,000 a mile.

Thb German artillery fire having de»troyed the library building of Strasbourg and its treasures of learning, it is bnt just and proper that Germans stiotald aid in restoring and re-filling this once great magazino of knowledge. The library has already received over 130,000 volumes gratuitously from various sources. The Teutons have determined to enlarge it by adding an extensive department of music, the shelves of which will be filled by the voluntary contributions of the music publishers and collectors of Germany. ...

The "Times and Chronicle" tbinks the experiment of reducing the revenue by cutting down the tariff was sufficietly tested last year. The official statistics show that, instead of $30,000,000 a year less under a lower taiflf) as estimated, the revenue from customs during ihe year 1871 amounted to $206,270,408 05, against $194,538,374 44 for the preceding year. In the face of this experience will the tariff men who assert that the duties are paid by the consumer insist on still further additions to the public burden Tjy the same process of increasing importations at the expense of American labor 7

The"Times and Chronicle," alluding to the newspaper movement for the nomination of Colfax, remarks: "We may be permitted to doubt whether Mr. Colpax looks with'' complacency on these demonstrations of his friends—whose attachment and confidence heof course duly appreciates—at a time when the renomination of President Grant appears to be an event so well assured. That Mr. Colfax would, under other circumstances, be a strong Presidential candidate, and that all Republicans could heartily unite in his support, were lie the nominee, we would be the .last to call in question. Personally, he has as few assailable points and as many positive qualities to commend him fo popular regard, as perhaps »ny man in pubiic life," ,uj

Mb.Voorheesvotes that the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments are not "valid parts of the Constitution ."—What is Daniel going to do about it?:—Express.

Like all other upright and earnest Democrats, he will maintain his self-re spect and consistency by refusing to endorse the Radical usurpations and villainies of the past.—Journal.

Those Democrats who voted for Brooks' resolution recognizing tbe amendments as "valid parts of the Constitution," did not thereby "endorse" those amendments did not Bay that they were just did not deolare that they should have been adopted. They simply said that they had been adopted, and were, threfore, "valid parts of the Constitution." But Voorhees repudiates them, and thus puts himself on the record as favoring another revolution!

An Expensive Lnxary.

The amount still required to satisfy the German claims upon France is $635,000,000. Of this, however, $600,000,000 are not due untjl 1874, though interest at the rate of five per cent, per annum must be paid thereon for the intervening period. To this must be added the cost of maintaining the German army of occupation on French territory. According to arrange* ment made last spring the Bank of France is bound to advance $80,000,000 to the Versailles government, and then the whole amount of $306,000,000, which will liavb been borrowed, is to be repaid by the government by installments of $40,000,000 annually for eight years. Inasmuch as these installments are to begin at once, the bank really will now have to advance only a further sum of $40,000,000. According to the budget of M. PonyerQuertier, Minister of Finance, the war of 1870-71 cost France $1,720,000,000. Of this amount a little over $1,067,500,000 has already been provided. Only a "further sum of $632,500,000 has to be obtained. Of the sum already paid, Germany received $361,320,000, and less than $45,000,000 of this was paid in actual coin by the French government. The $1,067,500,000 already provided was raised by the war loan of 1870, the "Morgan" loan in England, the sales of Rentes by the government, the amount allowed by the Prussians for the portion of the Eastern Railway of France running through Alsace and Lorraine, the last great loan, and (he advances from the Bank of France already metioned.

An Awkward Position.

A new and careful hridegroom in Cleveland kept the wedding ring in his mouth during the fore part of the ceremony, so that he could find it when the proper moment arrived. He mumbled along all right until the minister winked him, as a hint to produce the ring, when in his nervousness he swallowed it, and there being no stomach-pump on hand, he was stood on his head by three groomsmea to recover the "golden pledge."

The Due de Persigny's tomb simply bears in French the family motto, "I serve," which, loconically tells the story of his life. i:'

At a trial in Wilkesbarre the other day it was testified that a vein of coal one foot in thickness will yield one thousand tons to the acre.

THE "ALABAMA."

A British Growl—The American"Demandg," and What a Leading-Tory Journal Thinks of them.

From the Saturday Rtvierc, January 20.] The admirers of the Treaty of Washington are naturally unwilling to admit that the American claim is iatal to the reputaiion of the diplomatists who fancied that they had established a precedent for arbitration as a substitute for war. It is true that no Government except that of the United States would have been capable of repaying the sacrifices of English feeling by demands which combine insult with wrong: but the threatening demeanor which now .excites irritation and alarm in England is the same which extorted the concessions embodied in tbe treaty. There can be no doubt that the Bharp practice of the President and his advisers is unanimously approved by his countrymen, although some Amercan Critics admit that the damages tfliich can be recovered will bear but a small

ftroportionhowever,amount

to. the of the claim,

is not, known that a Bingle American writer or speaker has censured the extravagance either of the demand for some^hundreds of millions or of the abusive misrepresentations by which it is supported. A patriotic complicity in every National wrong which can be perpetrated or contemplated is in the United States regarded as the most indispensable of public virtues. It may seem strange that a power which is likely to be neutral in the majority of future warsshould propound the doctrine that neutrality ought to be made more costly than bel ligerency or defeat but Americans are well aware that they are practically invulnerable and inaccessible to European attack. Their own history furnishes them with numerous examples of cruisers equipped in their ports for participation in foreign warfare arid they have uniformly and successfully repudiated all liability forthe captures effected by American Alabamas. Tf they were required to pay the coat of a war supposed to have been prolonged by their aid or connivance, they vyould not refer the question to any tribunal at Geneva or elsewhere, but would simply defy the complainant to enforce his demand. The affected confidence in the justice of the arbitrators which is professed by disappointed English enthusiasts probably causes un mixed satisfaction in the United States. It is true that the admission of the American claims is simply inconceivable but, if they are taken into formal consideration, the Treaty will be conspicuously exhibited in its. true character of an abject capitulation. One of the rules established under the Sixth Article of the Treaty has happily been, for its own purposes, tacitly abandoned by the American Government. The scandalous admission that a neutral power in bound lo prevent its ports from being used for the supply of arms to belligerents would have been made the excuse for further extortion, if it had not been flagrantly inconsistent with the conduct of America during the European war and tbe Cuban insurrection. It was the business of the English Commissioners, or rather of the Government which controlled the negotiation, to secure, in return for their humble apology and for their acceptance of an ex post facio rule of law, a limitation of the American claim within reasonable bounds. Unless the terms ot the treaty are found to exclude the greater part of the American claim, the rejection of the demand on the merits will not exclude the coveted triumph of violence and cunning. The mere discus* sion of the question will prove that the English Government preferred to dis sension with the United States the possi ble payment of a sum equal to half the cost ot the twenty years' war with the French Republic and Empire. It had been thought that the Americans had consented to waive at least one preposter ous ground of complaint. The treaty contained no reference lo the alleged precipitancy of the proclamation by which the Queen recognized the exis tence of a state oif war but the agents who have drawn the case have, with the sanction of their employers, furbished up the stale grievance in aggravation of dam age«, if not as a substantive claim.

The.rejection of the claim, if it were otherwise doubtful, is conclusively proved by its possible or maximum amount. The English Election Judges lately suggested to a Parliamentary Committee the propriety of treating the expenditure of an extravagant sum by a candidate as con elusive proof of corruption. The attempt to extort for alleged breaches of neutrality more than the cost of a war is entirely inconsistent with good faith. Nothing could have been easier for the English Government than to haye terminated the blockade of the Southern ports, and to have trans ferred to the Confederates, as their allies, the command of the sea. Those who pretend that the capture of some scores of merchant vessels prolonged the war by two years would scarcely deny that the alliance of England with the Cofederate States would either have secured their permanent independence or have indefinitely postponed the Northern conquest. The annual expenditure of fifty millions would have amply sufficed for the struggle, and abstinence from all participation is taxed at ten times the amount. It is notorious that the Emperor of the French wonld have been eager to concur with England in the defense of Confederate independence, for the purpose of insuring the success of his Mexican enterprise. Mr. Roebuck and one or two other English politicians failed even to obtain a hearing when they suggested that the true policy of England would be to assist in establishing the independence of the Confederacy as a check on the arrogance and ambition of the United States. It is perfectly clear that if the American claims were ratified by the tribunal ot Geneva, the arguments of the professed enemies of the United States would be retrospectively justified. Mr. Seward's correspondence is full of expressions of anxiety for the maintenance of neutiality by England but he would perhaps con cur with his successor in the desire to exact a penalty for compliance with his wishes. Ten years ago it would have been thought useless to insist that England Bhould be both neutral and responsible for the cost of the war but extreme deference, when it fails to arouse generous feeling, naturally invites inso lence and extortion. The English Commissioners at Washington undoubtedly intended, if possible, to gratify American susceptibility by straining the law of na tions into a recognition of liability for the captures of the Alabama. It is doubtful whether any bedy of purists can be induced to sanction the innovation but an award for the value of the shifts and cargoes destroyed by the Alabama would not have been unwillingly accepted by the majority »f Englishmen. The American agents cynically demand damages not only for the proceedings of a vessel which escaped from the Mersey, but for the injuries inflicted on commerce by the Sumter, which was built and equipped in an American port. The hospitality which could not be refused to a

MODERN HEROISM. It

Inkerman.

In the face of the strongest evidence to the contrary, we hear and read in many quarters that there is a certain decay in the robust spirit and temper of our race and that we have in a remarkable degree from that firmness and force of physical nerve which distinguished our ancestors. Some of the instances brought forward to support this view are almost ludicrous in their deficiency of either point or meaning. A group ofLondon rapscallions decline to interfere with a ruffian who beats his wile, and when the case is published in a police report, we find a deduction drawn from it in a newspaper that' Englishmen are not now what they were. No doubt the conditions and habits of modern existence tend, under peculiar circumstances, as we noted a few weeks back, to depress the average tone of vitality. The number of crowded cities, the hurry and worry of every man's work, the late hours, the unwholesome chemical and manufacturing employments, must be taken as checks upon the natural vigor cf our national health. The Registrar General may show us| that the bills of mortality are Bmaller than they were in proportion to the number of our inhabitants, sav, in the days of Charles II., but it does not come within his scope, nor would it be easy to ascertain whether the level of health among the sound is at the same scale as it was when life was taken at a slower pace than at present. That lopic, however, is only indirectly with the subject ot this paper. So far from bur believing that there is any decrease in the national courage and spii it of the coun try, we think it will not be difficult to indicate, in a few directions at least, that the very conditions of our existence, if unfavorable perhaps to a brisk standard of mere health, are calculated to engender more individual daring and self-sac-rifice than the system under which our forefathers gained the credit of fortitude which ought to be our most precious inheritance.

Take a modern battle, such as Alma, Balaklava or Inkerman. Here, surely, the courage of men was more severely tested than it could have been at any period before the use of gunpowder. Nerves were always the same. The bowmen had never to dread the horrible mutilation of artillery, and the fearful results of an explosive shell. As the science of war im proves the daring of those who engage in it is progressively tried. The other day, during the engineering experiments at Chatham, an officer was obliged to test the continuity of a wire in connection with the fuse of a torpedo, by sending a spark through it sufficient to deflect a needle, but not to heat the wire, with the torpedo attached. The tieklif nature of this experiment will be obvious enough. We can all remember such stories as those of the blowing up of the Delhi gate, and of sailorB pitching live shells from their arms into ihe water. In the old Bystem of warfare none of the horrors that might occur from a deed of this kind were possible. The din of the modern battlefield is itself trying to the nerves in a degree to which the mere clamor of excited men, the clash of arms, or the neigh of horses could not be compared. The charge of the Six Hundred into the valley of fire and death was, unquestionably, as noble an instance of physical courage as the defense of the bridge of the Roman Codes. In the "Times" of last Month may be read an account of the latest decorations of Staff Surgeon Manley. This gentleman served in New Zealand in 1864-5, and so distinguished himself in bringing wounded men out of action, and attend' ing to them under fire, that he was men tioned in dispatches by Sir Duncan Cameron, thanked in general orders by Sir Trevor Chute, promoted and received the Victoria Cross o£ valor. He received medal from the Humane Society for saving a gunner from being drowned, and, accompanying an ambulance in the late Continental War, he extorted the highest admiration for courage from the Prussian officers, and now adds to his honorable distinctions the Iron Cross of Germany. Ir. was, to our mind, more difficult and "testing" to bring men from the bullets ol Sniders or Chassepots out of peril than it would have been for him to do the same thing exposed to a discharge of arrows.

The Field.

Confederate

man-of-war is made a pretext for offense, although it is well known that the French Government accorded the same treatment to the vessels of both belligerents. and that the Alabama sailed from the harber of Cherbourg for the encounter in which she was de9'royed. It would be both useless and improper to anticipate the arguments which will be urged before the tribunal at Geneva but the hostile spirit which is indicated both by the tone and by the substance of the American claim is a legitimate subjecUof comment.

Short Career of a Baby Hippopotamus. From Land and Waier.l

On Tuesday morning last Mr. Bartlett was kind enough to inform me that a little hippopotamus had been born. On looking through the window of the house where the hippopotamus keeper resides we could easily see the mother and baby. The scene was very much the same as that which I described when the last baby hippopotamus was born. The mother lay in the corner farthest away from the window, the young one lay close to her, the nose of the mother was^ close to tbe nose of the infant. Everything was painfully quiet, and the only sound was the chirping of the Bparrows. The sparrows siemed to chirp louder in the hip popotamus house than anywhere else. The little animal, Mr. Bartlett informed me, had not been seen to suck, although the mother had plenty of milk. An attempt had been made to get the little thing away directly after it was born, but the mother was so savage that it was thought best by Dr. Sclater and Mr. Bartlett to leave matters alone. As far as could make out, through an opera glass, the little one is as near as possible the same size of its brother, which was born February 21, 1871, and died in three days. It seems surprisingly strange that the instinct of the mother was not suffi cient to induce the young one to suck, and it seems almost contrary to the laWB of nature that the young one did not know where to seek its food. Both mother and child had been in the water, and the young one could swim as well as its mother. Two milch goats were provided in c»se they could have got the young one away from its mother. On Thursday morning I went again, and found, alasl that the little Umzimvooboo, as the Africans call the hippopotamus, had died at six o'clock on Wednesday night, at the age of eighty-four hours. It was in the dissecting-room, and an artist was making a drawing of it for the "Illustrated London News." Its total length from tip of nose to end of tail was three feet nine inches, the head ten inches long, the tail five and a half inches. The skita is very much corrugated, and seems covered with a glass-like varnfeh. It is very pink abont the mouth and lower jaws. The hoofs are dark chocolate, the legs and lower portion of the body the color of the section of a piece of India rubber. Mr. Bartlett, with his usual energy and perseverance* managed to get the young one away from its mother, and it sucked down a pint and a half of goat's milk before it died. They managed to drive the mother into her tank cf water by squirting water into her face with a powerful garden engine. The moment she entered her bath they slammed the gate, and then stole the young -one. I understand that this rare specimen of a sncking Behemoth is to be sent to Oxford for dissection.

An Expensive Joke,

A joking Harvard student recently called for a doctor in great haste, direct ing the servant where he should go.' The doctor came, but found his services unnecessary and liia call a hoax. So far it was all very well, but the servant recognized the caller, and the next day the doctor called on him and asked_ him whether he would rather pay twenty dollars or be arrested. He said he thought so, too, and paid the twenty dollars.

An Instance or so to Prore that the of the negro before the law, with any Bace is not Degenerating—The thing like logical fairness. They almply Deeds of Alma and Balaklara and cite a prejudice in defense of a prejudice,

which only leaves the matter as it was in the beginning. Thus a Chicago newspaper is good enough, in discussing Mr. Sumner's bill, to say that "there is an essential difference between admitting the negro to his inalienable rights, or even to his obvious deserts of political equality, and a demand to share the butter-plate with us." This is said of the illegal treatment of Mr. Frederick Douglass in a St. Lonis hotel. Now, it is to be observed that Mr. Douglass was refused the accommodation in house of public entertainment to which all travelers are by the, cpmmon .law. entitled, not because he was unable pr refused to' pay for them, but simply because he was not' a white man and he unquestionably has good causes of action against the landlord,' without any resort to recent statutes.: We believe that, even under these, if he had been drunk, or disgusting in his.manners and person, or unable to pay his bill, iKe tavern-keeper might legally have refused to receive him and so, under the same circumstances, he might have declined to admit an unmistakble Caucasian.' But Mr. Douglass being a civil, quiet, generally well-behaved guest, with money in his pocket to pay his way, was entitled' to shelter and food and lodging in* any house overtly kept for the accommodation of travelers- We should like, at any rate, to see the question tested under the common law, without any reference to acts of Congress.—.AT.

xhe Czar and HisSoc.

The Russian Czar and his eldest son are not on the best of terms. The former prefers to speak in the German language, .the language of his mother and wife while his son, who is the leader of the National or Old Russian party, converses only in Russian, and allows no one to address him in a foreign language unless it be a foreigner. He discards all those foreign customs which have heretofore been prevalent at court hence the breach between father and son. It is said that the Emperor strongly desires that his brother Constantino shall be Emperor af ter him. jfli

NEW YORK TRIBUNE,

FOR 1879.

Th« consolidation of Italy, to long fngmentary and impotent, Into on* powe'fnl^i^ State, with Rome as its capital: thahnmili-u ation of Fran 06 through a serial of crashingdefeats, ending with the siege ami oapitnla-—' tion of her proud metropolis the expulsion of the Bonrbons from the Spanish throne, and the snbstitatton for them of a scion of the most liberal among royal houses the virtual absorption of the kingdoms of Saxeny, Wurtemberg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Torfns, Sco., under the headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and Dowerful empire of Germany and the arming of Russia to reassert her preponderance in the councils of Europe, or to proseoute her often postponed but never relinquished designs on the great city iounded by Constantino, and the vast but decaying and anarchial dominion of the 8ultan. all oombino to invest with profound interest the ever-changing phases ot our tidings from the Old World. Thc Tribuxk, through trusted correspondents stationed at all points in Europe where great movements are in progress or imminent, aims to present a oomUlete and instructive panorama of events on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged (truggle between middle-age Feudalism and

Bcolesiasticism on the one hand and Nine-teenth-Century skepticism and secularism on the other. Recognising a Divine Provldenoe in all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a fairer and happier future for the toiling masses of mankind.

In our own country, t\ war upon corruption and rascality in office has been inaugurated in our City, whereby the government of our Stat- has been revolutionised through an initial triumph of Refoi which surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. It is morally certain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to aay locality or any rarty, but that its purifying influence is destined to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking veniality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by trade, and confiding it in these worthiest and fittest to wield it. To this beneficent and vitally needed Reform, Tas TbioUnk will devote its best energies, regardless of personal inteiests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to office-as of all New Departures the molt essontial and auspicious.

The virtual surrender by the Democratic party of its hostility to Kqual Rights regardless of Color has divested our current politics of half their bygone intensity. However parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fundamental principles which have hitherto honorably distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to be regarded as practically accepted by the whole country. The right of every man to his own limbs and sinews—the equality of all citisens before the law—the inability of a State to enslave any portion of its people—the duty of the Union to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment of his liberty until he forfeits it by crime—such are the broad and firm foundations of our National edifico and palsied be the hand which shall seek to displace them I Though not yet twenty years old. the Republican party has completed the noble febrio of Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thereon the sternest judgment of Man and the benignant smile of 6od.

Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is one ol Peacefal Progress. To protect the weak and the humble from violence and oppression—to extend the boundaries and diffuse the blessings of Civilisation—to stimulate Ingenuity to the production of new inventions for economising Labor and thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer to each other the producers of Food and Fabrics, of Grains and Metals, and thus enhance the gains of Industry by reduoing the cost of transportation and exchanges between farmers and artisans—such is the inspiring task to which this Nation now addresses itself, and by which it would iain contribute to the pregress, enlightenment, and happiness of our race. To this great and good work. The Tbibunk contributes its sealous, persist efforts.

Agriculture will continue to be more especially eluc dated in its Weekly and SemiWeekly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soil will steadily contribute. No former who sells $3 0 worth of produce per annum can afford to do without our Markec Reports, or others equally lucid and comprehensive. If he should read nothing else but what relates to his own calling and its rewards, we believe that no farmer who can read at all can afford t* do without such a journal as TheTbibi.ni. And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engaged in other departments of Productive Labor. We spend mora and more money on our columns each year, as our countrymen's generous patronage enables us to do and we are resolved that our issues of former years shall be exceeded in varied excellence and interest by those of 1872. Friends in every State 1 help us to make our journal better and better, by sending in your subscriptions and increasing your Clubs for the year just before ub
