SENTENCE OF THE SAILOR HOLINESS
This morning Judge Baldwin Of the U.
S. District Court, read long written o.
pinion, overruling the motion OF the coun-
sci for the seaman Holmes, convicted at
the present term Of the Court, of man
slaughter, for new trial, and proceeded
at once TO sentence the defendant. Hav-
ing been recommended to mercy by the
jury, the sentence was the very lenent
one of6 months at hard labor in the Eas-
tern Penitentiary, and fine Of 800
This, the prisoner doubtless considers Sc
we're enough blu, if, as the jury has found,
he is guilty Of having thrown overheard
maliciously, and recklessly, weak and
defenceless human beings under the plea
Of saving his own life, no disinterested
person can consider it other then very
lenient sentence. 1t is intima,ed that
pardon will probably be obtained from
the President before his sentence expires.
THE NEGOTIATION WITH ENGLAND
In regard to the negotiation between the
United States and Great Britain, now go.
ing on at Washington, the Washington
correspondent of the New York Express,
as well informed, perhaps, as any one
not officially conversani with the matter,
writes as follows:
"The progress Of the mission Of Lord
Ashburton is known TO no one beyond
those who are the parties to it and on
both sides, for the best of reasons, the
greatest secrecy is observed. So far
from converting the Legislature of the
State of Maine for the purpose of receiv-
ing its assent or dissent to the selling of
the territory in dispute for sum from one
or two millions and half, as stated in
some of the papers, the object is totally
different. The Legislature is to be con.
vened for the purpose of procuring the
assent of the State of Maine to the propos
ed negotiations of the General Govern.
ment. If Maine consents to trust the
matter entirely to the General Govern
ment, then the negotiations, in reference
to this subject, will begin. No prac tical
Is made, as yet in regard 10 the
other questions, concerning which the two
Governments are at issue.''

propriated $4,000 Of the money they saved by the
army and navy reductions to buy books for the new
members Of the HOuse-forty-eight of those new
members themselves voting for the appropriation -
In word, this economical House virtually made a
present, by resolution, of S438 of the public money

make twice that number suffering families comfort
able in these hard times the year round They
might, with equal propriety have voted t. themselves

But did they not retrench somewhat in other
,hings2 They pessed law prohibiting the
publication of the laws in all the States and
Territories, and thus saved the county three
thousand taoo hundred and seventy dollars,
fifty cents and a quarter! OF course all the
people of the States and Territories can well
afford TO dispense with the reading Of the laws
enacted, provided their law makers render
themselves accomplished statesmen by purchas-
ing $4,000 worth Of books with the public mo-
ney, for their own especial use
OF course the contemplate newspaper edi-
tors" cannot complain Of Wig Congress that
cuts of the printing Of he laws, and prevents
the People from reading them. 1t is carrying
out the Wing promises OF retrenchment and
reform.
