NAVIGATION OF THE COLUMBIA

The true Interpretation of the second ar
ticle oil theOregon treaty relative to The nav
igaton of the Columbia must remln in
doubt until the views of the British Govern
ment on that point are officially declared
Mr.. Benton says that there are two Hudson
Bay companies, the first of which has per-
petual charter, beyond the Rocky noun
tains. The second company is of recent
date, and is formed of the Hudson Bay and
the old Northwest Company united, and ex-
lists under. a licence of twenty-one years,
granted by the Crown, under act of ParIa-
ment. IL bears the name of Hudson Bay
Company; but Is SO entirely distinct from
the chartered company OF King Charles,
that il can carry on no trade on the waters
Of HHdson's Bay, as the old Hudson Bay
company can carry on none on the waters OF
the Pacific ocean,
This is Mr.. Benton's view of the subject
But on the other hand it is contended on
very good authority that there are not two
companies, but that the privileges of trade
with the Indians beyond the Rocky noun
tains were engraited upon the charter Of the
original company. This supplementary
grant, limited TO twenty-one years, dates
from the year 1921; it was renewed in
1912 for another period of twenry-one years
which will carry it 10 1868.
Now by the terms of the treaty the free
navigation of the Columbia is given 10 the
Hudson Bay company and TO all British
subjects trading with the company, and this
without limitation of time. Mr.. Benton,
argument assumes that this stipulation does
not refer TO the original Hudson Bay com
pany, but 10 new company, which he de-
clares was chartered in 1921, and whose
existence expires in 1868; hence he infer:
that the year 1868 is the limit, in point o.
duration, Of the privilege of free navigation
IL there be two Hudson Bay companies
il is remarkable that there should be no spe
cifc designations to distinguish them from
one another; that both charters should rur
in one name; tha. the treaty in using the
title common TO both should not particular
ize the one to which it referred.
In the absence Of positive knowledge Oh
the subject it is difficult TO accept Mr.. Ben
TONS hypothesis. The more probable sup
position is that there is but one Hudson
Bay Company, and that the privilege oI
trade beyond the Rocky mountains was a
supplementary grant extending the limits o

the company's operations. 1t is very Ger
tain that this was Mr.. McLane's view in The
negotiation of the treaty, and ii is equally
certain that he regarded the second article
of the treaty as conlerrng upon the Hudson
Bay company and upon British subjects trad
ing with them the privilege of the free nav
igation of the Columbia an pcrpetHity. His
letter accompanying the British proposition,
which, afterwards, without the alteration of
a word, became the treaty, places beyond all
doubt his own construction of the article re-
ferred to.
We are told that Mr.. Pakenham was ques-
toned as TO the meaning of this doubtful
clanse, and that he accepted the interpreta-
iion put upon it by Mr.. Benton and others.
The Secretary of State directs Mr.. McLane
to inform Lord Aberdeen of MIR. Paken-
hams acquiescence in the restrictive mean
ing of the clause; and thus the matter now
stands. 1t is possible that there may be
some mistake about Mr.. Pakenham's con-
firmation of the restrictive meaning, since it
was not officially given. AT all events, we
must hear from the British Government Off
calIy before the question can be relieved
from uncertainty. Baltimore American.

BARNEY OMAN AND THE EVIL
ny SAM SLICK.

There lived an old woman some years ago,
at Musquash Creek, in South Carolina that
had large fortin' and only darter. She was
a wilder, miscr and a Bunker She was
very good and very cross, as many righteous
folks are, and had loose tongue and tight
nurse OF her own. All the men that looked
at her darler she thought had an eye on her
money, and she warn't far out Of the way nos
Their, for it seems as il beauty aud money were
too much together in a general way. Rich
gals and handsome gals are seldom good for
nothin' else than their cash or their looks.
Pears AMI peaches amt often found on the
same tree, lcllyou She lived alone almost
with nobody but her darter in the house, and
some old niggar slaves in hot near at hand
and she seed no company she could help.
The only place they went in a general way
was meelin', and Jerusha never missed that,
for il was the only chance she bad sometimes
to get out alone.
Barney Oman had a most beautiful voice,
and always went 10 mee,in' too, TO sing along
with the gals; aud Barney, hearin' Of the for
tune OF Rusty, made up 10 her as fierce as
possible, and sung so sweet and kissed so sweet,
that he stood number one with the helress.
But then he didn't often yet a chance to walk
home with her, and when he Gid, she wouldn't
let him come in for fear Of the old woman
