Does our contemporary ever read an American
paper? and if so, through what sort of spectacles?
Granny knows that &he is wilting for readers to
whom she might assert with impunity anything of
the United States, the press of which the divides
into the local, as connected with this affair, and
that of New York. By the local what does she
mean ? if Montana, we venture to assert, a Montana
journal never entered Shoe-lane. it. tneunited S. at es,
then the Standard is mapping out the country in
eculiarly Shoe-lane manner. Nor does the old
lady confine herself to the Territory, but she must
drag a fresh State into the Union, for she alludes
to " the celebrated proclathation by the State of
Colorado, offering twenty dollars apiece' for
Indian scalps with the ears on." The Red River
Settlement, where President RIELL is reported to
have shot a Scotchman for disputing the authority
of his Government, is regarded as remote; and, con-
sidering that, with a few French half-castes RIELL
has been able for months to defy the British Em-
pire, remote it may be taken to be ; yet it borders
on civilization when compared wish Montana, for
the Red River forms the boundary between Minne-
sota and Dacotah, the latter Territory having to
be crossed for some 400 miles before the traveller
sets foot on the eastern boundary of Montana. If
then the Standard intends to impress on its readers
that it has been perusing files of Montana news-
papers to ascertain the local sentiment it deceives.
At the same time we have other means'of ascer-
taining what the feeling there is, and we confess
that the people of Montana neither regret the
massacre nor pity the Piegans ; but, on the con-
trary, loudly applaud Colonel BAKER'S act, perhaps
for the same reasons that the resident Christians
in India upheld the extreme severity of British
reprisals for what was suffered during the Se-
poy Mutiny, and the planters and white people
supported Governor EYRE in his vigorous pro-
ceedings during the Jamaica insurrection. Gen.
SHERIDAN sums this up in his official letter to his
chief (General SHERMAN) in these words, of which
we omit the most shocking :—" Since 1862, at least
800 men, women, and children have been murdered
within the limits of my present command in the
most fiendish manner; the men usually scalped
and mutilated." But to show how little the circum-
stances are here understood ; or, if understood, how
they are perverted, we take th;s comparison from
from the Standard's article ;
"The severest punishments inflicted on the Sepoy
mutineers may be justified on the score of the absolute
necessities of a struggle for life. They were inflicted on
men taken in arms red;with the blood of our kindred by a
handful of Englishmen, fighting desperately against enor-
mous odds."

The dislike existing between the British in India
and the Sepey mutineers was nothing contrasted
with the hereditary hatred which many years of
atrocities have generated between these Indians and
the white men. The lonely and exposed condition
of nearly all the white settlers in Montana is as full
of danger aswas that of the British in India dur-
ing the insurrection, and infinitely more so than was
that of the whites in Jamaica ; while to be captured
is to be subjected to such lorrors of cruelty as
the mind of man could conceive and the human
frame bear. In justifying Colonel BAKER'S act,
the settlers of Montana are better supported by
the circumstances of the position than is the Stan-
dard in the cases it has cited. The whole country
is however, evidently meant by " local," and in this
case New York may fairly be thrown in. Then we
assert that the Standard bas grossly and shame-
fully misrepresented public feeling in America. It
could not plead ignorance ; on the contrary it ex-
pressly states that it has searched in vain the
local journals as well as the New York pros
for any expression of pity or regret, or a remark
calling iu doubt the equity of the transactions.
vu the contrary, a furious controversy has been
raging about the " equity " of this expedition,
in the Executive, in Congress, in the pulpit, and
in the press ; and expressions of condemnation
have run so high, even against Generals whose ser-
vices have made their names " households words"

Aussia having received 57,200,000 in gold from
tho Washington Treasury,as payment for the boar garden'
handed over to Uncle Sam, now claims $250,000 as inte-
rest, the money not having been paid up to time. The
bear garden has already cost $600,000, and yielded from
all sources 521,000. The Muscovite can contemplate this
result with satisfaction, and as he knows Uncle Sam has
a sentimental weakness in his favour he puts in a further
claim for $250,000 to assist in the completion of those
railways through which ho moans to drive the Western
farmers' produce out of the markets of France and Eng-
land. There is a claim preferred by an Americen citizen
against Russia, and the Government, after a close inves-
tigation, pronounces the Perkins' case to be just. The
Russian Government, on the other hand, declares it to be
fraudulent ; but the officers of ;the Czar disdain to furnish
proof, though the Washington Executive made Perkins
establish the facts on which he relied. If Russia's claim
to interest be allowed, President Grant will insist before
the money is paid that the Perkins claim be settled by a
properly appointed tribunal ; for, although in Russia no
person may have rights as against the Czar, there is no
necessity for any such doctrine to be acted on in the
great Republic.

The speech whereby Mr. Sumner created so great
a sensation and put the finishing stroke on the Johnson-
Clarendon treaty has been republished by Wright and
Potter, of Boston, with a portion of his Worcester speech
of last September, as well as the speeches of Richard Cob-
den and Thomas Baring in the House of Commons, May
13, 1864, on the Alabama and the other cruisers. Two
letters by a Boston merchant, written in 1863, and a pre-
face to the pamphlet complete the work. The Boston
merchants are probably beginning to find out that delay is
not the best policy as regards the settlement of these
claims, that the national interest in them dies out, and
unless in some degree revived by such a "fillip" may be in
a great measure lost. The Massachusetts papers recom-
mend as wide a distribution as possible of the pamphlet in
England, so that what the Senator actually said and what
the Americans complain of may be there made known ; and
at the same time the ignorance as well as the prejudice of
the English is alluded to on the subject, although it is
possible that there may be ignorance of the English side in
America (for a dispuie has always two sides), as well as
prejudice, on the subject of what is generally called the
" Anglo-Rebel pirates"—the very name showing this.
Canada has been warned against getting " ugly."
If the new Dominion legislates against the United States,
by way of retaliation for the non-acceptance of the Reci-
procity Treaty, it is hinted that two can play at that
game, and intimation is given in what manner the Execu-
tive at Washington can play it. The Canadian threat is
to prevent the United States fishermen from plying their
calling within its waters ; to frame a tariff hostile to the
Union, and to impose discriminating duties on vessels be-
longing to the States using Canadian canals. The threat
on the other side is to repeal the section of the warehouse
regulations under which goods are forwarded through
Portland, Boston, or New York straight through to Ca-
nada without detention or examination. If repealed the
United States would be shut to such transport; and as the
St. Lawrence, the only other route, is closed during win-
ter, Canada would experience no little inconvenience.
But what are we to think of two kindred people adjoining
each other legislating in spite ? The question is whether,
as alleged, the Reciprocity Treaty was altogether one-
sided in the interest of Canada. It is said that such is the
case; that it was negotiated, when the Southern States
were all-powerful, to restrict expansion northward and
discourage the industry of the Free States. Its effect, if
renewed, would bo to place Canadian farmers, lumbermen,
and millers at an advantage over those of the United
States, inasmuch as they would have the same markets in
the United States without any of the burdens borne by the
producers of tho United States, which would be tanta-
mount to handicapping the American instead of leaving t)
him a free and unshackled course.

A "VARIETY MACLUNE."—" A. S. Gear, of New
Haven, Conn., has recently patented a machine that planes,
molds, panels, tenons, and mortises straight and irregular
wood-work, and, what is inure astonishing', dovetails
beautifully, making both tenon and mortise at the same
time. It also carves iu wood the duplicate of almost any
pattern desired, such as images, scrolls, vines, &c. It is
vei-y simple iu its construction, and is considered the most
useful and wonderful invention that has been made in
wood-working machinery for a long time."—Artisan.

Lord HATIIERLEY (the Lord Chancellor) : We shall
be greatly benefitted if some of those distinguished in art,
of whom I think there are several here present, could
give us any intimation of how far we may expect from
those so distinguished assistance in the work which we
have in hand ; either to send themselves works of high
art to form part of this exhibition, or encourage us, either
as a body—taking the Royal Academy, for instance—or
as individuals, in the work that is in hands, by dissemi-
nating as far as possible a knowledge of whatis under-
taken, and exhorting all those who may feel an interest in
the subject to evince it by sending works of art to the
exhibition. After a long discussion, shared in by most of
the distinguished artistis present, and in which a hearty
sympathy with the proposed exhibition was expressed,
Mr. WEsTmAcorr moved " that this meeting, after
having had explained to it the object of the intended
international exhibitions so far as relates to the section
of fine arts, desires cordially to co-operate in
carrying into effect the plans proposed." In the
course of his remarks on the subject he expressed a
strong condemnation of the style of art as exhibited at
many of our public buildings.
Mr. CARTER HALL seconded the resolution, which, on
being piAt to the meeting by his Royal Highness, was
carried unanimously.
The Loan CHANCELLOR : May it please your Royal
Highness, I have the honour to be present on this occa-
sior.' simply as a member of the Society of Arts. I regret
that of late my duties elsewhere so seldom permit me to
attend its meetings. I particularly regret that I was not
here on Monday last, though I am thankful to be
permitted to be present to-day, because this
society can never forget the deep interest that
was taken in all that could promote art by one of its
members; one who took a most active part, and who
sincerely co-operated in furthering the exhibitions of
industry that have taken place in this country from time
to time. This society remembers most gratefully his
efforts connected with those undertakings, which have
now recommended themselves to every part of Europe.
A great stimulus was given in the first instance by the
illustrious Prince, whose memory we all revere. We are
not likely to forget the illustrious Prince at any time, but
still less likely when we find that those who are united to
him by closer ties of affection, even than those which
bind him ever to the remembrance of the whole
nation, are actively engaged in following in that
path, and in that career to which he directed us,
when we remember that he who is nearest to the throne
as you, sir, who are so closely connected with the Royal
Family are takinpi part in these duties, in our discussions,
and assisting us with your judgment. You have pointed
out to us the union that subsisted of old be-
tween art of the highest character and the
application of art to the useful arts and to what I may
call the comforts of life. Certainly, art had reached its
highest culmination, when such specimens were left by
one man as existed in the Sistine Chapel, and in the dome
of St. Peter's. And we can hardly hope any time, to
recur when one genius can so apply' art in its highest per-
fection to that which is for the comfort of mankind.
I was much pleased with one of the prospectuses, that
there is to be no comparative estimate of the vari-
ous works of art. It is well that in
all the departments of life we should be re-
minded of the beautiful distinction drawn by. Lord
Bacon between " the love of excellence skid the love of
excelling." I believe there is no country where we have
less to fear of the unworthy spirit of emulation than
England. A I speak with special emphasis of that noble
spirit which animates the English when I recollect that
it will be exhibited to-day. by some of our
select youths from the two Universities, who no doubt
will endeavour to do their best for victory without any
envy or unworthy emulation risilig up between them.
That, I believe, is the spirit which will guide our artists
in giving us their assistance and suggestions in the various
exhibitions which are now about to be inaugurated. r
trust they will be the means of improving the taste of our
countrymen with reference to many things in which we
desire improvement, especially with regard to our street
architecture, mentioned by. Mr. Westmacott, and several
other departments. The Lord Chancellor concluded by
tendering the thanks of the meeting to his Royal High-
ness for presiding.
The resolution was carried with acclamation, NA His
Royal Highness having returned thanks,
•
The Conference then separated.
