THE HUDSON'S DAY TERRITORY.

Though the terms of settlement proposed by Earl
Granville were accepted by the Hudson's Bay Company,
they have yet to be referred to the Government of the
Dominion. But there is no ground for the apprehension
that the arbitration of the English Ministry will be ques-
tioned in Canada. Indeed, the colonial papers look upon
the question as settled ; but it seems they do not like the
terms. One-twentieth of all the land in the Fertile Belt
is reserved to the company, which will thus become a
large landholding association. It is feared that the policy
of keeping back the land until it has been made valuable
by the labour of others will be adopted. But surely a
difficulty of this kind can be of little consequence when
the territory is so vast, and for years to come will be so
thinly peopled. In any event, the Canadians would act
very unwisely in seeking to reject a great end for the sake
of a small question of means. There is, however, no talk
of doing this.

NEW YORK, April 3.
Towards the end of last week the weather
changed, and on Monday an easterly gale set in
which kept every ship in the harbour, but sent gulls
in from sea by the hundred. Poor Grinnell has had
a hard time of it. He used to lead a quiet life, and
so did the President, comparatively. Grant has
been worried to his bed, and confesses that, had be
known what was before him, he would have voted
for Andrew Johnson, for he thinks that if the ex-

President, used to badgering as he was,•had had
what he has endured previous to his last attack, it
would have made an end of him. But, joking
apart, Mr. Grinnell received on one day over 13,000
applications for place, and his house, the Custom
House, and his private office in Wall-street were all
besieged, the latter to such an extent that he had
to employ a powerful clerk (he ought to have chosen
a prize fighter) to hear applications, while the police
had to keep the crowd out of the Custom House.
He will find it easier to get rid of his ships than to
get rid of this pressure. He met Mr. Smythe to
take over charge on Wednesday, who greeted
him with his congratulations, which were made
the more pointed when Mr. Smythe said, " The
pleasure with which I resign the post arises from
the fact that I am to ezcape, at last, the many per-
secutions and annoyances that have attended my
administration ;" adding, with a sigh and a look of
commiseration, showing how little he expected it,
" I hope you will see and feel less of them than I
have." Mr. Grinnell replied that it would be a
warning for him to avoid, as far as possible, sitni-
lar embarrassments. He was not infallible, but he
would do his duty to his country and to General
Grant, who had, unasked, so graciously placed him
there. Grinnell had not to wait long before he
had another taste of the sweets of office. The
aching Post has fiercely attacked the appointments
to the Custom House, which it represents to be in
the hands of rogues, and there is no hope under the
present management. He was sworn in, however,
on Tuesday, his bondsmen being Moses Taylor, R.
M. Blatchford, Edward Minturn, and Marshall 0.
Roberts; and next day, after taking over the of-
fice, he presented formal warrants to the following
gentlemen as deputy-collectors :—John R. Lydec-
ker, George W. Embree, S. T. Blatchford, H. K.
Murray, Rufus King, John Cooke, J. S. Steadman,
E. C. Banfield, Moulton, Grigsby. A com-
mission has been appointed by the Secretary of 'War
to report on a bridge across the East River, be-
tween Brooklyn and New York, and Generals
Newton and Wright, together with Major King, of
the Engineer Corps, have been selected. This is in
in compliance with the Act of Congress, and we
may now hope to have the work soon commenced.
_General j.aasloff, Danish Minister of Warr has re-
turned from Washington and stopped at the
Brevoort House before embarking for his home, for
which he starts to-day, after his unsuccessful nego-
tiation at Washington. Logan, No. 2, was re-
leased, as the grand jury failed to find an indict-
ment ; no evidence being produced to warrant try-
ing him for the murder of Mr. Rogers. The girl's
evidence broke down after the police thought they
had got the case up. Logan behaved very well
during his long imprisonment, and thanked the
police for their kindness to him, exhibiting no small
' joy at his liberation. The murderer Real has been
granted a respite although the scaffold had been
partly erected. He bore up to the last with forti-
' tude, though things had grown to be really serious.
When told of the reprieve, notwithstanding efforts
made to moderate his transports, he danced about
with joy. In compliance with the recent decision
of the Attorney-General, orders were received at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard to reduce the wages in
proportion to the time struck off by the Eight
Hours Bill. The sailmakers struck at onc., and are
likely to he followed by other trades.i.soin

Post, alleges that the editor is a relation of Edgar
Ketchum (better name, by the way, for a detec-
tive than for a thief), and is angry with the
Senator, because he refused at the Editor's solici-
tations to pardon that convict. The ice has been
broken up, and the river is almost:clear to Albany,

WASIIiNGTON, April 2.
If our people are ugly towards Spain in Cuba, it
is not that they desire anything but the good of
Spaniards in Spain. At the meeting of the Americ tn
Tract Society of New York, held at the Congrega-
tional Church here, Spain figured prominently. It
was for that country the most urgent claims were
made: there, the work is said to be most encouraging,
vouched for by the Rev. F. C. Fletcher, who gave
his personal observations of his missionary labours.
Chief Justice Chase presided. The Home evange-
lical work since the war has been directed to the
South and taken the most prominent place with the
Society ; 2,800 Sabbath and secular schools there
have been assisted, and 300,000 United States
primers have been distributed. Abroad publica-
tions have been circulated in 141 different languages
and dialects, many in Arabic. The whole publish-
ing work of the Society, which has existed for 45
years, has been the issue of 23,500,000 bound
olumes, 300,000,000 tracts, and 112,000,000 pe-
riodicals. The new Attorney-General is upsetting
the legal decisions of the old Attorney-General, and
furnishing a very pretty lesson of how seldom doctors
agree. Mr. Evarts ruled that the labourers em-
ployed by Government were to receive their full
wages, though the time, iu accordance with the lath
law, had been reduced from ten to eight hours.
Attorney-General Hoar reverses that decision, and
says that the workmen are only to get eight-tenths
of the wages, while Secretary Boric presses for the
repeal of the eight-hour law. Mr. Hoar is also of
opinion that the late Mr. Bates, who was Mr. Lin-
coln's Attorney-General, was wrong in his law,
whereby Secretary Welles raised the rank of the
staff to correspond with the rank of the line officers
when the grade in the navy was raised from Com-
modore to Admiral. The line officers asserted that
he had no power to do this ; Attorney-General
Bates said he had ; and Attorney-General Hoar
says he had not ; and the new Secretary of the
Navy asks the Naval Committee of the House to
have the relative rank fixed, or he will be compelled
to reduce the rank of the staff officers in accordance
with this decision. Secretary Boutwell is justifying
the trepidation among the female clerks employed in
various departments of the Treasury, for a very large
number have been discharged. A number of special
agentsformerly appointed for political services are to
be removed en masse. But it is even easier to get
them out than to keep them out, which constitutes
the real difficulty, just as the bottom of an iron ship is
scraped clear of all barnacles readily enough in dock,
but look at that ship's bottom after she has been a
short time at sea, and you see the same thins
quite fast and secure there, and feeling evidently
very much at home. The President has been laid
up for the last few days, and did not receive till
Tuesday, and a report was circulated in New York
that the attack was so severe that he was not ex-

pected to recover ; so our rumour-mongers ma-
naged in one week to kill both the outgoing and
incoming Presidents. Much opposition is develop-
ing itself to General Grant in the Republican press,
particularly in New York, where the Evening I'ost
and the Sun show very plain symptoms of swinging
round the circle. The Hop. J. Lathrop Motley
will, it is now generally believed, be the Minister to
England, though Mr. John Jay has lately been.
mentioned. Mr. Motley is now in \% ashington,
and is often in the Senate Chamber. When the
announcement was made of the second adjournment
resolution of the House, Mr. Sumner shouted from
his pace Impossible ;" in fact it would be very
difficult to get through the mass of buziness await-
ing action, but there is one way cf dealing with it
which the Legislature will adopt, and that is leav-
ing it to take care of itself. Mr. Washburn, of
Paraguay, made a statement to the House Com-
mittee on Foreign Affairs, respecting the treatment
by Lopez of his officials, Bliss and Master-man, but
nothing new transpired. Witnesses have been
summoned, and the official conduct of Mr. Wash-
burn and Admiral Davis wiil be investigated.
The correspondence relating to the dispute at
Madrid has been printed and distributed to the
Senators, though permission was refused to allow
the letters to be published. They are from Secre-
tary Seward, John P. Hale, and Secretary of Lega-
tion, Perry. The no.nination of General Long-
street was discussed in the Senate, and gave an
opportunity to Governor Brownlow of attacking
that officer, which the feeble old man did with no
lack of bitterness and spite ; the Senate, however,
refused to be guided by Brownlow, and sanctioned
the appointment. Secretary Boutwell asked Mr.
George A. Halsey,who once represented in Congress
Newark District, New Jersey, to take the post of
Register of the Treasury. Mr. Boutwell would not
receive a refusal, and declared that the President
would immediately send his name to the Senate.
Mr. Halsey arrived at Washington last Monday,
and rejected Mr. Boutwell's pressing invitation
unless permitted to continue his leather business in
New Jersey. The question was referred to the At-
torney-General, who considered that the law which
disqualified Mr. T. Stewart applied to Mr. Halsey,
which is much to be regretted, as he saw more of
the workings of the Treasury Department when on
the Retrenchment Committee of the Fortieth Con-
grees than any other man. The Secretary of the
Treasury asked for the power of paying interest on
the public debt in advance ; and, after some legis-
lation on the subject, it appeared that this joint re-
solution approved in 1864 was still in the Statute-
Book :—" Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be authorized to anticipate the payment
of interest on the public debt by a period not ex-
ceeding one year, from time to time, either with or
without rebate of interest upon the coupons as to
him may seem expedient; and he is hereby autho-
rized to dispose of any gold in the Treasury of the
United States not necessary for the payment of the
interest of the public debt, provided that the obli-
gation to create the Sinking Fund, according to the
Act of February 25, 1862, shall not be impaired
thereby." In accordance with this order, the Sec-
retary has given official notice that the interest due
on the Ist May will be paid on demand at the pro-
per offices on a rebate of interest at the rate of 6
per cent, per annum in coin. General Howard will
continue in charge of the Freedmen's Bureau for
the present. Large reductions are to be made in
the bureau. The coloured people are coming in for
a share of office, as two Justices of the Peace for the
District of Columbia; one postmastership and an
assessorship of Internal Revenue have fallen to their
lot. The President has also granted an interview
to Lieut.-Governor Dunn, of Louisiana, who is a
coloured man. Butler's bill for reconstructing
Mississippi has been postponed till next session.
Theßeconstruction Committee, however, are taking
evidence on the subject of Texas, from which
State there is a delegation now in Washing-
ton. The Pre-ident received it yesterday, but,
as he does not allow reporters, what transpired
is not known. John W. Douglass has en-
tered on his duty as Deputy-Commissioner of In-
ternal Revenue. The Post-office Department is

organizing a special ageiit service. These agents
will be divided into three classes ; one to superin-
tend railway postal service, another for the examin-

atiou of postal accounts, and the third as detec.

tives. The case of George W. 'l'witehell, petitioner,
against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, came
) before the United States Supreme Court to-day.

Mr. Hubbell, attorney for the plaintiff in error,
argued his motion for a writ of error to the Court
of Oyer and Terminer, and to the General Gaol
Delivery of the city and county of Philadelphia
and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania for the
Eastern District.

Governor Wells, of Virginia, and other prominent
Republicans, were arrested on the charge of stealieg
a letter from the Post-office, but a United States
