ANNEXATION.

We publish the following extracts from Wash
ington letter writers 10 show the contrast in the
different speculatons upon this absorbing subject
When both parties sanguine, there must be
some uncertainty as to the result.
From Special Correspondent Of the Jour of Com.
WAsHINoToN, Saturday evening, April 18th.
The terms Of the Treaty Of Annexation
will not transpire until the same is ratified
or rejected by the Senate, unless Senators
themselves prove recreant TO their high du-
~. You will have a thousand rumors,
and positive assertions Of letter-writers, say
ing what the terms Of that Treaty are But,
rest assured that | do not know, and few
have better opportunities Of knowing what
the terms are than myself, excepting the con
tracing parties themselves. One thing, how
ever, will assert as true, upon my own au-
thority, to wit, that holders Of Texas bonds
and securities will have no reason to COM
plain Of the Treaty.
The Treaty will not, probably, 90 into
the Senate until Tuesday of next week.
The city Of Washington is rife with all kinds
of rumors about the course which the
friends Of Mr.. Van Buren, and of Mr.. CLAW
will take.
The Democratic Senators viii go for an
nexation, and ratification Of the Treaty and
Wing Senators must go the same way, or
Mr.. Clay's political prospects for the Presi-
dency are ruined. All the signs Of the times
indicate this i; and Mr.. Ciay's friends are too
sagacious politicians not to see their true pol
icy and be governed by it,
The treaty s0iH be ratified Jy thirty-eigkt

WASHINGTON, April Is, 1874.
Calculations are out again that the Sen.
ate will raiify the treaty to annex Texas to
the Union, and an estimate has been made
by F. ]. Grund, one of the Presidents par.
ticular friends, stating that the Senators
from each of the thirteen save-holdine
States will vote for annexation, and twelve
others in addition, making thirty-eight in
all. Nous verrons, Mr. Gruud might have
known more and better than this, il he had
sought correct information. The Senate riL
not ratlfy the treaty.

manufacture paper Of various qualities, and

THE WAY JOHN BULL WORKS 1T.


We call atteulioh to the following aril. |
Gle from the New York Courier and En.
qoirer. A great deal has been sand about
England receiving our cotton at ten per
ceai. We wish our readers to see how it
is managed. Our own opinion is, tba, we
pay quite a respectable toll 10 Mr.. Bull, for
supplying him With what he is obliged to
have.
To The Editors oft Courier d Enquirer:
A free trade paper in this city recently
published, with great exulla,ion, the fact
that in 1912 we exported 10 England over
$4,000, 900 at an average duty Of IL per
cent. as etiectually proving the disposition
OF England TO buy largely of American pro.
dnctlons. To my mind ii only proves most
clearly that all our great staple articles Of
produce are virtually prohibited By the new
and very liberal English Tariff, even at the
very low price at which we produced them
IN 1872, except Cotton. OF this ar,icle
England now produces in her Colonies all
that is wanted for her own consumption
4 Therefore, all of this article, which her
manufacturers take from US is for the pur.
pose Of twisting i, up into various fabrics
with their machinery, and selling 1t TO the
rest Of the world, ourselves included. For
instance, of the S4s 900 900 taken of us in
ls42 nbou, $40 900, 900 was Cotton alone.

cent. Il is then twisted up by mauulactu.
rers, and sold TO the rest Of the world for
about Sl5O 900, 600 according to the Par.
tiamenlary reports. One would suppose
that so great an advocate of Free Trade as
England, would allow her manufacturers 10
grind Cotton at their mills for the rest OF
the world without putting her long fingers
INTO the hopper and demanding 0 per cent.
toll on the raw material, in addition to the
pretty liberal toll which these manufacu
rsfs take for themselves. Oh NO her pc,
culiar doctrine Of free trade, which means
"that all nations must take every thing
of England al moderate duties, while she
will take nothing of them which she can
raise herself or produce in her Colonies"
are made like hor Razors, "ior expectation"
Suppose Canada was a great Wheat
growing country, But had no furnishing
mills aud her people should send their wheat
TO Rochester TO be ground, not for Ameri.
can consumption, but 10 be exported, and
our Govern nent should demand one tenth
Of all this wheat, besides the toll Of the Ro
chester Dlllers, for the privilege of letting
Il be ground in this country, what would
they say of US !? Yet such is the real state
OF our Cotton trade with England, which
Free Trade men seem to consider SO very
liberal So much for our Cotton crop,
which believe amounts, according to our
last census, 10 about one twentieth 10 value
of our other agricultural productions
I We will now see how very LIBERAL the
so much boosted new Peel Tariff is towards
all our other gIea, staple articles ofproduce.
We produce annually about 500 900
bushels Of Wheat, Corn, Rye, Barley, and
other small grain, on which England at this
moment levies duty Of 55 per cent. She

were heard, and fire was soon seen 10 as.

fire had attained the destructive breadth Of

burning lava. Tho sight IS awful grand,
