EXGLAXIYS QUMEM PROrEEDlXG.
It is not. an iinprocodentcd circiimslance f..r
the suprome Court of the I'nited Statos to have
iho sovoreign of a foreign nation hefore it as
a ftligant. Napoleon III and Fcrdinar.d VII of
Spain vxere hoth >ilaintifTs in n.ti.uis nt (his
har, but their complaints rclatod to tbeBBBelYOB
and to thoir pei-sonal rights. The appearanoe
of tho sovoreign of ono country in the courts of
another as a petitirmor in behalf of a snhjort's
right.s was, hiwever. until Sir John T^omson
filod his Hohring BfiB papers on Monday, to the
hent of our knoxvlodge. unheard-of. Cortainly
it rrxar unhoard-of and alrogothcr amazing that
such an action should l,o taken as an B__9BBl
from the supremo Kxoeutivo authority. The
I'nited states has soized B privato vos<*>1 OWBMgJ
by a British subject, and the. soizure goe* as a
matter of conrse into the OOVtkB to ho passo<l
upon. Btti before the courts havo aotcd th?
British (ri.vernmont *k?B up tho oase nnd pro
Mj?M to tho Prosidont in hohalf of its euhjont.
This hasto is, of itself. nndu'o anil not in con
tofmity xxith the cn*toms of nations. The
BOtioa of the courts <>f one country in en
forcing either muni.-ipal laxv or tlie law of na?
tions iipon a foreigner is not oondnsive, but it
is tho prattioe of States to wait and to see xvhaf
a fornign court actually does hefore intorvon
ing. Tho .'..ssiimption is that. the courts will do
xxhat is richt. and until a foreignor has ox
hanstod his remedios undor the laxrs of tho
country xvith whioh he is involvcd, his home
Government should nol brtffffeta).
Great Britain. in the Hohring Soa seizures.
did n.)t. purstie this rocognizod conrse. She
mado ha.sto to take up tho causos of her ag
grioved suhjects and [o press the I'nitod Stato?
for dariiages. She complained in tho usua!
ivay to the nsnal authority?the head of the
Stato: and noxv, her claim heing hy him rh's
pnt-d, but being still in the conrse of diplo
matnc adjudioation. she tnrns from him and ap
peals to anothor hranch of the (Jovernmont. de
siring it to disavoxv the total and assertions of
a co-ordinare authority to whioh, under tho
Constitution, the conduct of foroign affalrs is
erplicitly assigned! Il roquire* no great lega!
knoxvlodge to imagine what. the B*mm*M of tho
Supremo Court will say. It will inform Lord
Salishiny. in effect if nor in torms. perhnps in
tho von* language of Mr. Jofforson. that "the
Prosidont is iho only channel of communioalion
hptxvoen this country and foroign nations."
and that "ir is from him alono that foroign na
ti<ms or thoir agonts aro to learn vxhat is or has
boen the xvill of tho Nation, and whatirver ho
oommimicatos as such they have a ri^ht and
aro bound to considor as the erpro-ssjon of the
Nation. and no foroign nation rvin be allowod
to qucstion it or to interpose betxxeen him and
any hranch of ('ovornineiit." Whilo. upon tho"
one hand. it is not in tho poxver f.f tho Ex
ecutive to intoiforo bj its at^tion xvith ca^-e.s
pondinfi-jiii tho cDurts. it is efjiially innimhent
upon the Judic.iaiy to ! -no tho Prosidont un
traminellod in any nogntiation ho may l,e carry
inp on, and any action askod of tho court
avhich oould havo tho olToct of intriforing with
the Prosidont would l.o imposi'Mo.
Wc find it diffioult to under^tand how Lord
Kalisiiurv xxas indiicoil to put nimsolf in anch
an ahsurd posin'on. 'I'o appeal from a court to
an Execufive is natural and fioquont. hnt to
appoal from an Kxocutixe to a eoin-t is a, pro
ceeding of xxhich thoio is n<, provinus re.-ord
in tho praotico ?,i nations. Sir John ThtMDBOn'l

divMeri politically BB Brooklyn is, when thiis
?Y-pre-.en1ed, is most grnssly misrepreaented.
Mr. Ulitmenthftl. the chairman. is an honorablo
man by nattire. but he is an nhedient sorvant
of Tammany Hall. Thc committee ls a wpnk

and Webster, of Ncw-York, as its Demociaiic

thc Rprniblican. of this city on the commitfce.
The appointment of Mr. Ilildmth. wo believe,
wmild have been far moro satisfactory.
There will be general astonishnvnt that Mr.

Now-York, a* chairman of the OmmiUee on

a'iates of a simil.ir character. Mr. llill *urrr-n
dcred to the Hquor-dealers when ho wrote out

man, and has aa Demoeratic colleagur*s men
who, it can be predicted, will report favorably
Ihe varions bills in which tho liquor-dealers nre

that tihe atateinont* imputed in this report to

a good dcal about Indian affairs, but he does

I have given Hose and disinterested attention to

The Indian Rights Association is of all bodics

THE BRIDGE EXPERTS' REPORT.
The report of the Board of Krports appointed
to doviso moans of ineroasing tlie ra|,aeity of
the Bridge rail road is a grave disappointment
to all who have hoped for a comprehensive and
rational Bolotion of tho pmbloms invnlved. The
Bridge Trustees xxiii, of oourse. ho satisfied
xvith the ro|>ort, for it is a virttial indoi-sement
of tho plan Bdopted by them some four years
ggO, but xvhieh thoy have not dared to put in
operation on aooonnf of the admittod dangers
that, aro lnseparahle from it-a praotioal use. Tho
poaition of tho pmsent experts, Mesnrs. Bpencer,
Plympron and Buckholz. is alinost, diann'tiw al
ly opposed to tho nth'tude of the ef|iially emi
ileni Ptp-rts, Walter Katte, Julius W. Adama
and Joauph Craxvford. who xvere app.-inted to
cfiiisidor tho same qucstion in Novembor, 188T,
and made their rcport to the trustees in tho
folloxving February.
Tho repoit fttat submitted recommonds an
onlargomont of tho prosont tail-sxvitcliitis svs
t<*m, under xvhich trnins aro now run during
the, btafj hoins at tntorvals of ninety geoonds.
By doiil'ling tho platforms and using "1'aiit
|,.*to.l" tia.ks it i- proiKised to reduco the lu-ad
xx.i.v to forty-tix-e or even to forty ?*>oonds. Five
ear trains?one car moro than aro noxv run?
are consid"re<l th-*- greatest number that can
advantageously he usod, and it is estimate.l
tliat, pfrhaps 4.*.,<'?00 passengors per huiir can
be carried: the cars being. of 4*1111--". packed tn
tho liniit of aafery and. as at preaeni, fut be
ynnd tho liniit of i-onvonioiH-o. Thi 4 is eon

; almost, incomprehensible, for instan.e, that a man
fihoiild run the risk of twenty years* imprifon

Writing of that aiways intereating theme, Vola
i puk. in "Knnk I.eslies Newspnper," Charlea B.
' Sprague explairs that thc aim of the new lan
guare is "not io supen-ede, but to supplemeni, to
provile a means l>y whi.-h the races of mankin-1
may heromo intellifl-iblc to each otner whiic re
taininu their mother longue. Thia is mercly to
extend tlir e!e.*.ring-ho,;*ia? idea to matters of lan

Volapuk can ?*e taught " in ten easy leasone."
Sueh a clearing-honse in the inimediate neiirhbor
hood of the loxxer of llaliel would have met a
great popular want, and in these days of labor
siavinn; d.-vi.-es the demand for it or something
likc it is immense. Let us all do our utmost to
perfeot and popnlarize Volapuk.
It La announeed that the Pennr.ylvania Rail
road's bridge across West-at. will be le.nl.v lor
ti*e in live or six weekb. This in a most welcoine
announoemcmt. Ono bridge will doubtleaa mean
others in the near fntiire. for of the BMBB9I
and popularity of the new irlea there can be no
queetion. With a bridge at ench ferry West-st.
will lose its horrors, and the volntne of bad
tompcr and had language in the city will b*a
largcly diminishcd.

There is undoubtcdly a good Aofll of truth in *hi*
statomcnt, of Superintenrlcnt. T'ratt, of Ihe C'ar
lillfl Inalia,n Institute, tbal the Churehos have
g.nerally favored the aegregatlon of Indians.
" Even to-day," be says, "Churrhcs conipete with
each other in multiplying and enlir_in.: eommuni
ties of Indinn ennverts. Tbe nim il BOfB to en
cotr.pass the Indian with the Pftflbj terian, Kpis
OOpal and Catholic hahtt. than to get him into the
American habit." All this mav be admittod with?
out cailing in question either the zeal or goo.l
Intentions of the Churehes. What thev aim to
do is to convert tlie Indians to their respective
cra-eds; not to carry out, any apecial polirieal ot
economir-. theorlcs. Tliey h.ive no ubjection ft*
se to the Bteaking up of tribal or.anizatia.ns. But
inasmucli as their missionary efforts mp.ke a betu*r
Bhowing under the conimunity system, they nat
urally favor thal system. A hundred Inalian faiui
