be printed, distributed, and submitted
for examination to the Standing Com.
mittee the discussion on it being re-
served for future sitting. M. Pellet,
de la Lozers, demanded that Govern.
ment should order the printing and dis
tribution OF all the reports Of the sue
cessive Committees, which, since the
year 1881, had been charged TO exam
inc the American claim itself, or the
bill relative to it. The Minister for
Foreign Affairs replied, that all the
documents relative to the American
claim would be laid upon the table OF
the Chamber, and that such of them as
required publication should be printed
and distributed. The President said
that it would be more regular if all the
documents in question were not only
submitted to the Committee, but also
laid upon the Presidents table. The
Minister Of Public Instruction said
that there was no objection TO that
course.

IAMpNrAREE OccuRRENcE.--We
have been kindly furnished by friend
with the following extract Of letter,
dated,
WATERLOO, (Md.) April 6, 1885.
II write you Inc particulars OF a la
mentatle occurrence which took place
near Waterloo, between 6 and Z o.
clock last evening, (Sunday.) Doubt
less ere you get this you will see it in
the papers, but l have taken some
pains to compare the statements Of w.t.
nesses, in order that you may form an
unprejudiced opinion for youself, and
add if you please, correct any inaccu.
rate accounts for the public. Mr. Jno.
Buchanan, young gentleman of most
amiable and unoffending manners, had
the misfortune to become involved in
fracas with $ or 6 farm laborers, in
which he was so hard pressed as to be
compelled, in sei-defence, to discharge
a pocket pistol, killing one of the par
ty, named Thomas Ellis, dead on the
spot. How this unfortunate affair was
produced, witnesses are not agreed ia
saying, although there were 10 or IL
present. Ellis, it appears, stepped up
TO Buchanan and took up the quarrel
Of another individual, who, as he alleg.
ed, had been insulted by Bin the course
Of the day. Mr.. Buchanan told him
he was armed, aud would protect him.
self at all hazards; and ere three min
utes, (during which it is impossible TO
discover what happened, because Of
the discrepancy in the evidence,) the
pistol was heard, and Ellis fell dead
man. Mr.. B. resolved, as soon as he
saw the result, to give himself up and
await the award of Court. He re-
manned at Waterloo on parole last
night. This morning an inques, was
held, whose verdict, was told by their
foreman, was manslaughter. Ellis has
left wife and hild."-Bah. Chron.

that the electric aud attractive powers of the comet
viii have very serious effects upon atmosp phere
in producing inundatons, earthquakes storms, tenn
pests volcanic eruptions, and epidemic diseases. In
support Of the theory he refers to the different ap-
pearances Of this comet for the last six hundred
years-showng that in the comet years these phe-
nomena prevailed TO great extent. The author
says;
"Relying the corrections of principle of COM
etary influence, venture 10 predict that the sum-
mer of lS35 will be remarked for intense heat, which
may be expected to destroy the haryests in some
parts of the world. That year will be noted for
nomcna. The end of 1885, or early in lS36, may
be expected to be remarkable for some one or more
extensive earthquakes. The winters Of 1886, or
1887, will bring a frost such as has not been equall-
ed for at least 30 years. The parts gf the earth

Of Congress if the controversy with France should,

leave the country defcnceless in case Of insult, or
INVASION they adhered to their amendment IN every
stage of the controversy, and the bill lost for
want of time to arrange it, and make further efforts
on the part of the House, owing to the Senate s
former delay of near two months, and owing also
to the senates deadly hatred Of the President, and
total rccklcssncss Of their country's claims upon

ON the question of appropriatng $4,000, 600 lorthc
defence of the country against threatened hosIncs
from France If it does not go very far towards
convincing them that the opposition in the Senate
were the cause and the sole cause of the loss of the
ioricatlon bill, we are very much mistaken. In
deed had we no evidence of he fact other than what
is derived from the disposition Of majority of the
Senate manifested on all occasion 10 oppose every
measure of the administration and to cmbarrass it
in all its movements their notorious character is so
well understood by the people that they would not
be at loss upon whom should be cast the odium of
leaving country III the hour of peril dclcncccss
and exposed 10, nay inviting the hostile attacks OF
France. But those sage Senators who, by their
manTyrcino have almost committed the crime OF
treason against their country, tell lorsoolh that
that they had not coidcnce in the integrity and pat
rotlsm of thc man whom the people delight to hon
or and that therefore they would not give him the
powcrto defend the country against foreign INVASION
\ pretty story truly from such men as Daniel Web

has been making every effort to destroy the Union

that war, pcsliIcucc and famine might visit our hap

ANDREW JACKSON

The dctcncelcss state in which the country has
been left by the last Congress- has reused the at
tcntlon Of the people TO serious consideration of
the cttectual posture OF our affairs. Thauhcy are by
no means free from embarrassment Is universally
conceded and that the national legislature has been
waning iu lis duty seems To be the opinion of all
men, o all parties II Is, however, useless to depore
what II l. evident cannot be rcmedied. We must
look TO other Tor other measures better suited to
the emergency, and more in consonance with the
dignity and character of the American people.
While however dissatisfaction. mot loud but
deep Is felt in regard 10 the conduct ofthose whose
duty It was 10 protect our honor aud provide for
our safety, there Is oNE who has noby sustained
himself at tins trying period. Andrew Jackson

not right and to submit to nothing that i wrong
Whether considered in the light of a soldier or

the FIRST characters of the age. In the field. he has
vindicaed the rights of his country, and triumphed
over enemies 10 whom conquest had grown tam-

that sagacitv, rmness and true republican honesty,
which are worth the arts ofdiplomacy puttogeiher
