Prii-rig. nr Minister t the Conrt i'f Ji.pan, from the charges jri-VrreijH:,"iiiii-t iini in the X-w York Tribune of m lute date. The drfeusive artii lr taki s np the charge .riuitm and replies tit tlieci eir cnm.taMially and aatinfaitoriW. Heia ik a itKuniury of the mil defeus-: FirBt, iu reply to the charge that Mr. Dt Lou j; ditrt Bt reside at the Capila, the writer in the GaxtUt nT, That The facts are, that the Aniencin. British, Baaaiao and Spatiixh Uiuiktera. all lire iu Yukahtma, aiiuplw maintain ing Legation Officea iu Yedo. tn bich tbej reaort when bniuesa rails them. The German, and Italian Bt-preaenta-tive, L ie within the laat few months taken np their raaideui'ea in Yedo. but formerly they al lil in Yukohama. They are nnmtrried Keiitleinen, and are able with IrM preparation than the ethers, to move there. Secondly, The charge that DeLmia baa presented to the Japanese poTern ment and procured therefrom the liqui dation of, certain nnjni-t claims, is fully drnietl and the accuser is challenged to the proofs. Thirdly, reference is liirected to the Bouk of the LrgtkB ami the State Department both, iu refutation of the charge that he has recoruraendt d Ann-ri-catis to ofE. ial stations under the Jap anese G'tvernmeut. The fourth charge, that of DrLou--' Wiu(,' a defender of the coolie trade aa cxempliGed by the part which be took in the Maria Lux aff.iir is denounced as a wholesale falaehoo.l. Siystb defense: The whole scope and extent of Mr. D-Lug s action in the Slaria Luz t-ae was Kimply this: lie took no action nutil the eoolira were releaaetl. and then knowing that the Peruvian Government would expert bim as its representative to forward a record of what had been done, he obtained the record from the Japanese anthorities and transmitted it to .Pern. Enemies of bis, knowing the great sensitiveness of the mind of the American pnblic npon this qition. seizeil npou this action as an opportun ity to place Mr. DeLont; in a false posi tion, and injure him hv insisting that be nuilertook to protect this traffic. The fifth chaise. That DfLong sym pathises with the Tycoonate is flouted as an absurdity too manifest to be seri ously considered especially iu face of the fact that the Mikado himself through bis Prime Minister, went so far as to ask the Government of the United Btutes. as a valued favor, that it make Mr. Dt Lout's appointment a permanent cue. Au original draft of the letter from the Japanese government requesting liini to aeeoii'pany the Japanese Eiitbasy on its tour iu the United States is a RiifH rieut answer to the very menu accr.sa tiou th it Mr. D Long took bimeif lilon with that deputation uninvited. Moreover,, the fact is mentioned that at a I'de drawing room reception given by the Einj rss, an I preseDt t which were the Russian Minister and bis wife and Mrs. D Lomj. the Emoeror in permm took occasion to thank Mr. Di Long for the attentiou ha bad shown the said Embassy jo jta travels. One and all the acensations of th Tribune are met and demolished; and a to their nnthor, be is denounced as a drunken frllow who bad lieeu harbored at the American Legation until bis bal its became so off-tiSive that be could no longer lie tolerated, and who wrote this bndget of accusations to the Tribuht out of mere person il spite. The spirit of this defense is well and strongly set forth in the following, which is un ex tract from the exordium: To the intelligent foreign comronnity of Japan, and more especially of "Yoko hama, it wonld seem a work of snperor gation. to reply to these ho called rhargea. Mr. DeLong is well an J most favorably known in this Empire, both officially ami socially, and when it is stated that the puat four years of bis official career aa representative of the U. S. at the Conrt of Japan have been marked by wisdom, prndeuceand di cre tion. and tuoroiib loyalty to bia Gov ernment, it wonld be 'difficult to find a dissenting voice among the educated and honorable gentlemen who compose this community. His personal relations have been, and are, of the most hapoy character. A man of sterling integrity, in social life, nrbane. courteous, and amiable, and in all points the gentle man. It may be thought that nncritit-al friendship baa somewhat coloured these remarks. Such is not the caw.

TUC CUOsiT F rOPKBT IN THE UUCsK UP PBIvttM. Tjiat as many us 4S0 clergymen of the Cburc-h of En-land could W found weai enoneh and enough liefnddled with the spirit of old superstitious to seriously eutertaiu a predelictiou in fa v. r of re estabiishinj; the confessional as a part of the machinery of their church govern ment needs the following circun stantial narration to make it credible; and from' this outlook it seems hardly has au absurdity that the assembled Peers ot Eu-land should make so serious a matter of that predelictiou a is herewith iuti inated: London July 14. In tbe Chamber of Peers thisrveuiug Lord Cramuore read tile Aicht)isli p's reply to the Church Association, show ing a tendency iu the Church of England toward Catholicism, and moved tint a committee be appointed to consider what legislation is needed to check the evil. H5 supported bis niotiou with a l'-ug speech, ill the course of which he rean passages from a petition from 4SJ cler gymen of the E-4:thhshed Church, . s.ing for the appointment of conlessois, and a restoration of those popish practices which tbe reformation had ulailished. He wanted to kuosr by what uuthoiiiy English clergjuien, holdiug such da. triues, were retained iu their positions iu the church. The Archbishop of Canterbury said the noble Lord had stated the ques'iou fairly. It was no wouder that popnlar feelings were working npon the subject. There was a good cause for alarm, and the power of Bishops to remedy the abuses should lie iucreased. Bishop Salisbury declared the position taken by Lord Cranmore unassailable, but he thought the motion inopportune. The confessional was so coutrarv to Brit ish feeliug that any attempt to introduce it could only be considered wild and vis ionary. The 480 clergymen who had su-ueil the pt titi iu constituted only two and one-hilf per ceut. of the clerical bo lv of the church. The Archbishop of York expressed an opinion that whatever was done in ihe matter it should come from th cliiircii and not from the legislature. He. there fore, was opposed to the motion, but he declared he would make every ex rt ion to prevent the prayer book from becom ing Romanized. The motion was then negajived and their Lordships rose.

Noneof the discoveries of this century, when its records are arranged in the per spective of history, will aptiear ss of more value to mankind than that of the means of arrestingthe spread of Cholera. The mamiitnde f the peril from which this and future generations have been delivered cannot be o-er estimated. The number of lives bad by cholera, before sanitary science acqnireil the means for meeting and destroying it. is calculated to have exceeded the entire population of the United States. But no statistics can represei t the sum of humsn misery in which this tnormons loss of life was but a sinsle factor; the fear, the want, the ruin that overtisik the survivors, and marked certain years its among the b ektst in men's nicruoriis. The disc tvery of the means of nrrest inc; cholera was not an iccident. It was not a sudden inspiration of genius. It was the clalxirate result of the slow, pa tient, painstaking methods of modern inductive science; counting, measuring, weighing, recording, comparing; ac cumulating facts and statistics; deducing general law s from abundant observations, and attempting experiment only where previous knowledge opened Ihe pathway. In the epidemic of 183231 the fact wis established that by prompt and uni versal attention throughout a commnnitj to the premonitory symptom the diarrliret the fatality of th- dis-ase could lie largely diminished. That filthy surroundings and bad personal habits facilitated the attack of cholera, was rec ognized as a general fact, but its peculiar significance seaicely was suspected. Something was also ascertained as to the circumstances under which the disease was cominnnicati d in si me instances and not in others. In 1S48 4i) the result was definitely established that the disease was conminnicable Iv f nl diainage. and the fact that the drinking water of a large community might thus lie infected was ascertained. It W:,s then noted that cleansing processes, in connection with improved drainage, diminished the lia bility to disease in certain localities. It was not till the a Ivent of the dis-ase in 1S51-5 that Dr William Budd of Bristol. England, seems to have fnllv appre hended the chief characteristic ot Ihe epidemic. Hu declared that it, was chiefly prorogated by the excremental fluids" of those who were sick with the disease. The method of propagation being known, it became a comparatively easy problem to prevent it. Oovionsly a per fect cleanliness which should purify earth, air and water, and every surround ing of human abodes, constituted the direct means to attain the object. The free, prompt, thorough nse of disinfect ants was found to "stamp out" cholera. Wherever good sanitary regulations were enforced, in 1865-6, the epidemic was at once arrested. .
