co urse amounted to nothing though many Of the In
dams did understand English. Agan--it has been
publicly asserted that Tiger-Tail was taught his i'm
poance by the liberal offer from General Armstead Of
$4,000 to emgrate.
Il would be really curious also TO understand the
treaty stpulations" Of this Executive, and the man
ner in which they executed, well the princi
pies and authority upon which militia army is set in
the field under an organization and plan Of the War
Office, without appropriations by Congress, and
ther by ordnance Of the Territorial Legislature. See
act of Florida I'd March, 1899 which authorizes the
Governor TO borrow 100000 to pay troops raised "for
the defence Of the frontier and other purposes the
$1,000 more cost Of Cuba blood hounds not inclu-
ded, and which branch Of the General Government
has to decide on the footings ofthe bill
The last line OF these four paragraphs which
shall now notice involves remarkable disagreement
between the honorable Secretary the Government or
gan, and Gen. Armstead.
On the 9TH inst (date Of the report) Mr.. Poinsett
informs the President that hostites have be en- re-
newed, and will be prosecuted vigorously" On the 7th
following the "Globe says at will be seen that the
Commanding General is vigorously pushing his ope-
rations against them though he is at the same time
'S WV opportunity vi negotiating, ana oeh'
Armistead, himself under Gate of Nov "a lSi0 there
says, every nducement is however held out to them
to treat" The "St. Augustine News" nevertheless,
contains order from 'Hcad Quarters-Army of
Florda-For King, Nov Is, ls40," which recites
that the armistce is at end Districts regiments and
posts must be prepared to act Extensively
ments officers and troops for zeal and energy hereto
fore displayed" and concludes with "Shoud the enc
my hereafter appear with tho white nag they are to be
made prisoners, and diligently guarded until further
orders" by order of Brig Gen Armistead" signed
W. G, Newton, 1t. and Abide Camp"
If the manner in which the President and Secretary
have treated Of tho Florida War be any criterion
then the suppresso has been the order Of the day
in the preparation Of official reports and statements to
an extent that renders them wholly unreliable.

THE LONDON WORLD CONVEN
TIGN

The Anti-Slavery Convention which met
in London some months ago, and styled itself
the Wv orld Convention" has been alluded
to in several Executive Messages lately from
the Governors of Southern States. There is
no Disgusting the truth that the intent Of this
meeting was directly hostile to the Southern
States of this Union, and that the Convention
assembled for purposes more political than
phildntfroPic. 1t were vain device to pre-
tend that a benevolent regard for the rights of
man or sympathy with human suffering indu-
ced this piece of concerted and systematic
action. For if such were the cas- there
would have been no need of going beyond
the limits of the British Empire to find OBJ
iects of solicitude in abundance. Whenever
the humane and benevolent portion Of the En-
glish community really wish to unite togeth-
er for the purpose Of relieving the oppressed,
of eievating the down-trodden, OF restoring
to suffering men their just rights long with
held, let them turn to the miserable victims of
their own factory and corn law system
wretch who gfoan under the pressure Of a
servitude ten-fold more oppressive than any
which exists III this country. Are there no
slaves except such as are held by Individuals
Nay If the question were asked, which is the
most mild and gentle form that seTvitude can
assume, the answer would be--that in which
the slave has his particular master who can
be to him protector also. In England the
aristocracy of rank and the aristocracy of
wealth frame the laws TO suit their own inte-
rests the system thus put in motion goes on
in its course, and like the working cf pow
erful machine, it knows no sympathy, bet
grinds and brushes all who are subject to its
coercion. Individual tyranny there may be
none--or there may be great deal-but that
matters nothing. For the results ofthe system
are so vast, so absorbing, that the worst evil
attributed to American slavery is hardly a
matter of account in the great mass Of oppres-
sion, aggregated together in the complicated
total of social slavery in England.
But if English philanthropists find that
there is not enough of wretchcdncss to call
forth their commiseration in the condition of
their own operatives, let them turn their view
towards Ireland. The records of history are
not obliterated; nor have the rccollet tons of
the past faded away from The memories ofmen.
But if there were no recorded annals, if the
miseries Of former years were utterly forgot
ten, is there not enough in the present state Of
Ireland TO absorb all the virtuous Indignation
of British sympathizers! Are we to be re-
preached and denounced by people who
have for centuries held in oppressive bondage
the population of ireland, and that by the
rankest njusticc-degrading whole race,
than whom the world can show none nobler
in all the finer qualities that may become a
man, and blighting by the curse of despotc

a. ANOTHER ACT OF BAD FAITH To THE
SouTu.-The Legislature of Vermont has
passed law, regulating the proceedings up
on claims for runaway slaves, similar it is
said to that passed by New York. The n.
York Commercial gives the following alb
stract of its most important provisions
"The claim must in all cases be passed up
on by jury-that if the decision is against
the claimant the alleged slave shall never a.
gain be molested upon the same claim, and
any subsequent arrest. or removal Of the al
legged slave out of the State, under any pro-
cess, whatever, shall be punished as kidnap-
piRg-that the states attorney shall appear
for the alleged slave, receiving his compensa-
ton from the State-that the alleged slave
shall be entitled to the subpenas without
charge-that the claimant, before his claim
is entertained. shall give bond to the State,
in the penal sum of $1,000, conditioned to
pay all costs and expenses justly chargeable
upon him, two dollars week for the support
of the alleged slave while in custody, and
one hundred dollars to the alleged slave be-
sides his damages, if the claim is not sus-
tained-and finally that any attempt to re-
move any alleged slave without the authority
of the law shall be punished with fine OF
$500 to the party aggrieved, and imprison-
ment in the State prison for more than ten
years.

longs to the Treasury is false, and calculated
to mislead the public mind.
Mr.. Webster proceeded to comment upon
other topics in the Message, and spoke OF the
approaching termination Of the< Compromise
Act. Nothing was said Of replenshing the
Treasury on occount Of diminution of reve-
nue.. The President centcnted himself with
ardent and urgent generalities in reference to
the .uture, while his experience has shown
him that IT was necessary to expend $27,-
GOO, 900 and more beyond the actual receipts
of the Government. Such was the difference
between theory and experience. The new
Administration was to manage the affairs of
the Government without means, while the
present Administration had expended $27,-
100000 beyond the receipts of the Govern
mept.
Mr.. Webster spoke but Tor an hour. ard in
conclusion expressed the hope that the new
Administration which had tie power TO pro-
vide for the support of Government for the
year lSfI. would pursue line Of conduct
which would make an extra session of Con-
gress unnecessary. The Inconvenience at
tending such session would be great, and
the expense considerable. lie hoped there
fore that the Treasury would be left in con-
dition to make a called session unnecessary
No one rose to speak as Mr.. Webster con-
cluded. The question before the Senate was
upon the reference of the financial part ofthe
message to the committee Of finance.
Mr.. WRIGHT rose to reply, hut was not
prepared, and solicited further postpone
ment, until tom GROW.
''Pos,pone,' said Mr.. Webster, and such
was the order Of the Senate.
Mr.. CALHOUN followed with n motion
to adjourn, and at an early hour the Senate

IN CHANCERY.
This cause came on again this 2lst day Of
November, 1910, to be heard on the papers
formerly read, and was argued by counsel
Whereupon, it being represented to the Court
that no sale was made i'm pursuance of the or
der of November, 1897, and that the period
has now arrived at which the trust deed is
closcable by It's terms, ard all the property
subject to sale: 1t is therefore on motion Of
those creditors who are before the Court, or
dercd that the trustee, Walter Davis, after
advertising the time and place Of sale for at
least four weeks in the Staunton Spectator,
proceed to sell, at public auction, to the high
est bidder, on credit of six months-all the
personal property now remaining, subject to
said trust, taking from the purchasers bond
with approved security, for the amount Of
their purchases, and report his proceedings to
this Court, together with the bonds so taken.
And on the further motion of said creditors,
this cause is referred to Master Commission
er Samuel Clarke, who is directed to take an
account of the liabilities of said trust fund to
creditors, as well as those who are parties to
the suit as all others, and that for the purpose
of converting the parties before him he insert
