! The report that the government of the
| United States was negotiating with the
Emperor of Morocco for the purchase of q
point of land OH the coast of Africa for the
establishment, of a naval depot, has created
considerable excitement in England. The
London Morning Herald gives the following
article in relation to the affair."
There is to be found in le Monitcur du
Commerce an article which, whether well or
iii founded, merits the attention of our wise
Government. If well founded there should
be no time lost in deciding on the measures
which it rresistably demands at their hands
if foiherwise, denial of its correctness should
be given without delay.
"The article in question states that the
American Government is in treaty with the
Emperor of Morocco for point of territory
in Africa, on which to form an establish
ment-a pl ce of refuge and security for
American shipping, in the event Of a sudden
war with any European marntime Power.
Such point il would be of imnense i'm
portance to America in attain, aud the most
desirable situation for which is equally un-
guestionabe-the Straits. There is situate
with inthree miles of Ceuta little bay, cal
led Angera, which presents all the adyanta-
ges that could be sought for with such an
object At the east point of that bay is
little island of which the British troops took
possession during the late war, on which
they established battery. This island is
only two cables length from the continent,
and by means of jetty, that could easily
he constructed, is susceptible of forming "A
harbor for shippng.-Ut possesses, more
over, various other advantages for naval
station, which we have not time to recapitu-
Iate.) Such is the point of territory desired
by the Americans, and which they are by
all possible means endenvorng to prevail
upon the Emperor TO cede to them. His
Majesty has, for the present evaded the de-
mand, adjourning The period of his formal
reply until the season of his annual visit 10
Fez. which will be in in two or three mouths
from the present date.
These and other particulars are given
with pledge for their correctness) by the
Koniteur du commute, with the two follow
ing paragraphs appended to them;
The project Of the Americans is, VIC
are assured the result Of combination to
which Russia is not a stranger. America
would find in the phce in question an asylum
for her shipping, and would thus neutraize
the advantages which the English dcduce
from Gibraltar
Without being initiated into the secrets
of politics, it is impossible 10 believe that
France, England, and all the maratime
Powers, would suffer either the Americans
or the Russians to place themselves in those
Strnts-a second Dardanelles, but of inf
nitely more importance. If diplomacy
should be too late, or that the Americans,
by a bold coup de main, should. make Them
selves masters of the roads Of Angera, one
runs little risk in saying that il would not be
Moorisblbulle,s that would expel them from
lit"

CTOur representative, the Hon. Mr..
Pearce, arrived in town on Friday last, and
left on Sunday evening for Washington.
Mr.. Pearce has been for eleven years Il
member Of Congress from this State, and
during that time has never, until his late
visit, been absent from his post. During
that long period, he has served his State with
great zeal, industry and ability, exercised
alike for political friends aud foes.
His visit, at This time, must have been
peculiarly gratifying. He found here his
political friends from all parts of the State,
and was received with u cordial welcome.
He has returned to his public duties, with
many warm wishes for his continued health
aud happiness.

In the General Assembly on Saturday
last, Mr.. Thomas II. Hazard of West
Greenwich moved that committee be ap-
pointed with power to send for papers and
persons, and particularly for the records of
the town of Johnston, for the purpose of in
quiring into the fraud so successfully prac-
riced in that town AT the spring election of
1885. To this course of proceeding Mr..
James F. Simmons, an individual suspected,
and in our opinion not without just and
sufficient cause-of having participated
somewhat extensively in the alleged fraud
uent transactions, vehemcntly objected,
and most earnerslly and imploringly begged
the House to desist and not to adopt the
motion. He made an extremely moving
and pathetic appeal to the members and en-
treated them to let the matter rest---said some
might suppose that if he was innocent he
w0uM court investigation but hat such
was not the course he shonld pursue-he did
not irish the matter mrestigoted-that he
had rather be thought guilty By the public
ge"''-"v Man villingly TO aequiesee in the
appointment Of suen a committee for the
purposes specified. He denounced editors
generally as despicable and lying scribb!ers,
and mean, pittai, eOntemptibe and
eringing scomdrtls, and further said that
although he thought himselfso much injured
By them, he teh no iN-wiH toyard them what-
ever-thot he should be extremely reluctant
TO cause one Of them moments uneasineSs
The saint-like forbcarance of this extremely
honest and upright man, exctes our special
wonder. He complains most bitterly of
Editors for animadverting upon his political
conduct, which they honestly deem repre-
nensible, aud with tears in his eyes tells the
House that such remarks are extremely
,antm TO kim,"-He then villies and as
Derses the characters of individuals, who
would deem themselves disgraced to hold
with him, and in the ncXt
'reaih, he says, he should be extremely
eluctant to cause them moments uneasi-
less. Was it not his intention To cause
hem uueasiness, to hurt their reputation
md their standing in society, when he de-
nominated them mean, pittul, cOntempti-
BE, and cringing scomdreis :" IL not-why
lid he denounce them in such unmeasurcd
crms?
But why did Simmons object so strcnu-
Dusly to the passage of this moiion-why
should he fear an examination of the re-
cords of the town of Johnston, by the Gen
aral Assembly! Why should he deprccate
IN investigation of the facts in relation to
he fraud pracrced in that town, at the last
spring election? Surely such an honest
man as he need not fear the result.
