we have sympathized in the slightest with "steps that led to tho awful consummation" in the Mazas prison.

There would have been nothing worthy of notice in the fact that the Express had no word of regret to offer for the massacre of Archbishop Darboy and the fifty priests, but for two facts: (1.) That the very same issue which contained the news of tho murders in the Mazas prison also contained a bitter, vindictive and unnecessary attack upon tho Catholic Church. (2.) That the Express had announced two or three days earlier, that it would only try to meet the demand for equality for Catholics in the public schools with Christian charity when tho priests and press of that church chose to make certain promises and pledges concerning the future conduct of the members of their church. The Express seeks every opportunity to parade its enmity to the Catholic Church. We are neither unjust nor unkind when we say that there is much of tho same spirit of intolerance for Romanism to bo found in its columns "that led to 'the awlul consummation" in the Mazas prison. We denounce now and ever this spirit of intolerance. We have always recognized tho editor of the Express as an eminently fair and honorable journalist. In two years of cotemporary journalism wo have rarely had occasion to take issue with him. Now ho is in a position which is perfectly untenable—a position in which ho wrongs hiiiisclf and fhc great party' which ho represents. There is much that is wrong in Romanism, and there is much that is wrong in Protestantism. One may condemn the Roman edict of infallibility, or tho selfishness and rapacity of the Established Church of England, without broadly denouncing cither Catholicism or Protestantism. reasonable man will not denounce tho Methodist church as corrupt and immoral because its Book Concern frauds show corruption and immorality. The Christian churches which became the advocates of the vilest sin in the shape of human slavery, beforo tho civil war, did not forfeit entirely the esteem of men. There is room for relorm everywhere. Tho Catholics who desire a division of tho public school fund for the support of sectarian schools are entirely wrong, and so are tho Protestants who exact privileges in the schools not accorded to Catholics, Jews or Unbelievers. There are blots upon the history of every church thero are evils inseparable from the present life of every faith. The membership in the

Christian sects of the world number but two-sevenths of the total population of tho globe. These sects ignore the lesson of the Master when they turn to hating and reviling each other. They do lasting injury to the cause of the Redeemer when they fail to greet each other with Christian charity as coworkers in the grandest reform ever known in the universe of God.

theory that freedom would diminish the numbers of the negro race. Every argument advanced by the theorist has been disproved. The negro has evinced willingness to work, has taken care of himself and family, and, instead of congregating in towns and cities, has remained in the country, pursuing agriculture, the only trade which he understood. To all rules, by which his degradation or extinction was proved, the negro is an exception. Under the adverse circumstances of the last decade the race shows an increase of 9.35.

THE

TERRfe-HA"''^ SATURDAY'EVENING MAIL,

mending the adoption of a civil service system similar to that proposed by Mr. Jenckes, of Rhode Island. We trust that in'accepting the new departure the Democratic party will endorse this very meritorious plank of the Dayton platform. Our civil service system is now simplv scandalous. No sooner does one story of corruption or incompetency cease to be a sensation when we are'startled by the occurrence ol another equally monstrous. Now it is in New York, as in the case of Pension Agent Lawrence then San Francisco is honored, :imi anon the seat of operations is transferred to some Western city. The ire of the Western press has been recently aroused at the unveiling of a political blackmail transaction

two years more. Tho little game was spoiled, as the gentlemen spurned the offer with indignation. The proposition was made as though there was nothing in it but an ordinary every-day occurrencc, and this is what gives the affair the worst aspect. Thero are few members of ongress in the country who do not secure offices for friends to pay for political services, a transaction hardly less corrupt than that attempted in Toledo.

Tho only sound system for the civil service of America is to throw it open to competition so that one man will have just the same opportunity as a.iother, and so that political influence will not figure in tho selection of officials. Let merit and ability decide an applicant's position, and then secure him in that position during life or good behavior. Give to ail oDportunity for promotion and reward meritorious service. In this way we will elevate the standard of honor among civil officials, and the government will get better service. There are so many arguments in favor of civil service reform that we arc weary of repeating them in these columns whore they havo been used so often. It is not generally known however that the perpetuity and endurance of tho Chinese government, the most marvellous feature in history, can bo attributed to the admirable system of civil service adopted about one thousand years agp^and under whichsystem that goverjjjtpent^isbeen ifianaged to the present time. All the civil offices of China are given as rewards of literary merit. The government is an aristocracy, not of birth, like that of England and most European monarehiesbnt an aristocracy of learningand intelligence, James Freeman Clarke says:

The civil officers in China are called mandarins. They are chosen from the three degrees of learned men, who may be called the bachelors, licentiates, aiul doctors. All persons may be candidates for the first degree except three excluded classes—boatmen,barbers, and actors. The candidates ore examined by the governors of their own towns. Of those approved, a few are selected after another examination. These again arc examined by an olllcer who makes a tour once three years

for

placed alone in Httle rooms or closets, with pencils, ink, and paper, and a subject is given them to write upon. Out of some tour hundred candidates fifteen may be selected, who receive the lowest degree. There is an

other

triennial examination for the second degree at which a small immmer of bachelors arc promoted. The examination for the

highest

degree, that

ever a vacancy occurs, one of those who have received a degree is taken by lot from the few senior names. But a few years since there

after the freeing of the slave, whose manacle* Were so much more severe and cruel. Woman's enfranchisement is the next movement in the campaign of reform. The temperance reform trill follow and grow out of Woman Suffrage as Woman Suffrage follows and growe out of the elevation of the slave. The temperance reform will

never make substantial progress until it gains political power. Temperance and decencjr will be stronger influences in political life after woman's enfranchisement than intemperance and indecency are now. Then will there be hope for practical and enduring reform. Destroy the influence of saloons and saloon hangers-on in political affairs and vantage ground of immense importance for future operations will be secured. After women vote, candidates for office, instead of courting the saloon influence as essential to success, as we believe all candidates do now, will find that the seeking of that influence will only damn their prospects. Thero will, of necessity, be more morality in political management than now when men succeed by arts which would be disgraceful to common gamblers in their dealings with each other. Beyond temperance and political reforms a hundred other reforms will build upon tho fair fabric of Woman Suffrage. That people is highest in civilization which honors most its women. We trust that America will not be behind England, now nearly prepared for woman's enfranchisement, in doing flail justice to the purer and more moral half of the population.

Communists, in tho end, are

more sinned against than sinning. In return for every crime and excess perpetrated by them during their wretched rulo in Paris a score of horrors have been inilicted by the Versaillists. It is calculated that 40,000 insurgents were killed during last week. Thousands of women and children were slaughtered. Charles Dickens depicted the true causes which load to these excesses when, speaking of the horrors of 17t»:t, he said: "All thedevouring and insatiate monsters imagined since imagination "could record itself, are fused in the "one realization, Guillotine. And yot "thero is not in France, with its rich variety of soil and climate, a blade, a "leaf, a root, a sprig, a peppercorn, which will grow to maturity under "conditions more certain than tlioso "that have produced this horror.

Crush humanity out of shape once "more, tinder similar horrors, and it will twist itself into tho samo tortur"ed forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious license and oppression over "again, and it will surely yield the "same fruit according to its kind."

A VERY valuable book has just been published by James R. Osgood & Co., of Boston, entitled "Ten C.reat Rc"ligions," by James Freeman Clarke. It includes history of Buddhism, Brahmanism, Judaism, Christianity, and the religlbns'fif Zoroaster, Islam, Scandinavia, China. Egypt and Greece. The Work is an attempt to compare the great religions of the world with each other. It is designed to show that there has'been Something good and commendable in all kinds of religion, even in heathenism but to prove, however, that while all other religions are etb--nic. or limited to nice, Christianity is catholic and fitted for all humanity. The dfcsfgn is noble and the subject broad. Seldom has so much valuable information been condensed in one volume. The author is a deep thinker and a strong writer.

The recollection of the editor of the Journal is at fault. It did attack bitterly the proposition of which Mr. Forrest afterwards became the effective champion, if we fully understand the meaning of a paragraph in its issue of May 19th.

SOON after tho close of the rebellion, a large number of Southerners who embraced the "lost cause," embittered by the result of the war, determined to emigrate. Two colonies were formed— one in Mexico, and the other in Brazil. The fato or those colonies is almost identical. After years of suffering and privation, those who could, came back to the United States, glad to return with life. From Braeil, many were sent back at the expense of the Government. and a lew—either ashamed to return, or unwilling to acknowledge theit mistake—still drag out a miserable istence in the lands of their penance rather than adoption. The expewetice of the Brazilian colony has been the hardest and saddest. Most of those who remain in Rio do Janeiro are reduced to beggary. One of these emigrants, who had been an influential man in the South, a prominent politician, and Mayor of his native eity, sells bad spirits to thieves in low groggeries. The fate of these emigrants cannot but awaken general sympathy in their favor.

The Nord remarks that this is possibly a premature rumor, but that it is so much in the domain of what is possible, and especially of what is probable, that it is generally believed in St. Petersburg.

Democrats who have taken the

new departure desiro to see a ticket nominated in 1872 which will givo assurance to the country that the party is sincere in its support of the reconstruction measures. This desire is commendable, and wo suggest this ticket:

For President,

"WENDELL PHILLIPS, OF MASSACHUSETTS. For Vice President, HIRAM R. REVELS, OF MISSISSIPPI.

This ticket is symmetrical. Mr. Phillips is positively in favor of the reconstruction measures, and besides, lie hates General Grant. Mr. Revels is also in favor of the amended constitution, and his nomination would prove that all charges of nigger-hating urged against the Democratic party by base Republicans, are fiendish, calumnious, and false.

THE FIRST SIGHT OF "JJOZ." How well I recall tho bleak Winter evening in 1842 when I first saw tlio handsome, glowing face of the young man who was even then tamous oyer half the globe! He came bounding into tho Tromont House, fresh from tho steamer that had brought him to our shores, and his cheery voice rang through tho hall as he gavo a (puck glance at the new scenes opening upon him in a strange land on first arriving at a Transatlantic hotel. "Hero wo are!" ho shouted, as tho lights burst upon tho merry party just entering tho house, and several gentlemen canio forward to greet him. All, how happy and buoyant I10 was then! "V oting, handsome, almost worshipped for his genius, belted round by such troops ui friends as rarely ever man had, coming to a new country to make now conquests of fame and honor—surely it was a sight long to be remembered and never wholly to bo forgotten.
