The New.York Statesman has the following
remarks on the New Customs Regulation Bill

. synopsis Of which is given in to-days paper.
THREATENED RErALIATIoN.-So long as the
United States quietly consented 10 take the ma.
nufactures of Grea. Britain on her own terms,
and TO pursue a policy decidedly in favor of her
own interests, the amicable and peaceaSle re-
la;ions between the two countries remained un-
disturbed. But the moment Congress attempts
% cherish domestic industry, the British gov
eminent and the British nation begin TO devise
seIaliatory measures, not in an open and inge-
auous way, but by means of a premeditateG and
lrgalized system Of smuggling. The sequel
nav prove, that IL is mach easier TO threaten
han 10 execute. For ourselves we believe, that
.he ingenious devices to injure our revenue and
interests, proposed in the subjoinrd
from The Liverpool Commercial Chro>
HiCle Of the 2s,h of June, viii prove wholly
nusatory, should they be adopted. Its absurd
20 suppose, thar such 4 bulky article as cotton
Fan 10 any extent be carried TO England bv the
Of Canada or Bermuda Al peace with all
we have an IF, lent force at DER dispo-
al 70 guard our 'front.' rs both by land and sea, I
.nd 10 prevent a system Of Illicit ;rade. Should :
he British government choose to appeal 10 re- -.
.,aliarory measures, we rus, the United States '
sill be able to NEE, i; Oh its own ground. In "
word, We hope and trust that Congress Will &
b. driven TO surrender its RICH: 10 pur- d
ne and enforce the true policy IF our couatry. :.

THE COALITION DEMOLlSHED.-y


before our readers the cheering intelligence, that
in the City of Philadelphia, the friends of Jackson
carried ten out of the fifteen wards, and in one OF
the five remaining wards, each party has elected an
Inspector. 1t will be perceived by looking at the
aggregate vote in the wards that the Jackson men
have elected their Inspectors by majority Of STA
hundred and fifty nine.
The second Congressional District composed Of
ls wards OF the Is now represented by MIR Ser
seant has given the jackson Inspectors majority
Of 500 votes. Thus it is very evident, that Mr.
Sergeant will be superseded BY M. Hemphil.
No doubts can be entertained from the returns
received from the several wards Of the city, that
the Jackson men VIII carry the councils BY con.
siderable majority at the general election
In the first Congressional District, now repre-.
sented by Mr.. Switzerland, the majority IN favour
Of the JACKSON Inspectors is 1895.
