on the night of the ball, fell in with a coup

The YARrT.-The idea that M. Hunter's
bill increased the duties on iDportations is
evidently an erroneous one. The Rich.
moud Enquier, of yesterday, publishes a
letter from Gen. Bayly, the chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means in the last
House of Representatives, in which he Says
the only object, and the only effect of this
new appraisement bill, is to give the talif
of 1916 the effect which its founders design
ed, but which he says was in part changed
by a recent decision of the Supreme Court,
fixing the lime at which the value of the
goods 10 be charged with duty was TO be as
cer:ained. The Court decided that under
the act of 1916, the value was to be fixed
at tho time Of purchase-the new bill fixes
it nj the time of shipment.

The Public Domain.

A disposition is manifested during every
session of Congress to grant away public
lands for the benefit of the Western states
upon one pretex, or another, and the final
result of this policy of profusicn bids fair
to take the form of an ultimate cession of
the public domain to the States within
whose limits it may lie.
Such a specific appropriation ola common
property in which all the States have an IN.
teres. is palpably ut variance with Justice
unless there be some equivalents which
would be satisfactory to the older States.
The General Government has in its posses.
sion more than one Thousand millions Of a.
cres-a property to whidh the new States
have only their proporionate claim. If this
property is no longer to yield revenue to the
national treasury a fair distribution Of its pro.
ceeds among all the States would be just
and proper. Such a policy did prevail once
for a short time. At present, however, the
public domain is pledged to the redemption
Of the public debt, or portions of it--so that
neither the policy of distribution nor the
policy of ~cession to the new States can be
fairly resorted to.-Mining Register.

from nearly the entire State, that DIssMoRE,

is as~certained, without much doubt, will
have a majority in the Legislature (though
reduced from last year) who will elect Dins-

TEHUANTEPEC TREATY.

! This treaty, concluded between our gov.
ernment and That of Mexico, was one Of the
most important thai came up for considers
ton in tho Senate. IT was fa.ified but a few
days siuce. By il our citizens are secured
great advantages, being granted land go
miles in width, from the the Atlantic TO the
Pacific, which, however, al the same time,
opens TO Mexico a new and magnificent
route for the commerce Of Europe and Asia.
The treaty reflects great credit on Gov. Let.
cher who negotiated ii, and furnishes a
strong evidence Of the enlightened spirit
and practical good sense Of the Mexican
government. We have been in q habit OF
undertaking the talents, tact, and forecast Of
Mexican statesmen; but the treaty Of Tehu-
antepec shows conclusively ihat Mexico un-
'derstands her own interests now and re.
mains not u passive spectator of the world
events, which must effect a complete revo.
luton in navigation and commerce.
The Tehuantepec treaty gives our ~cilizens,
il is true, a strip Of land 60 miles wide, ex.
tending from one ocean 10 the other; but Of
what value would that land be to her with.
out the improvements contemplated by our
citizens She gives our citizens a rich mine
and We work it and share the profits. 1t is
the best investment Mexico can make of her
treasure, and the only means by which it
can ever become productive. Besides our
increased intercourse with Mexico will not
only open new sources Of wealth, to our en-.
terp,ising citizens, but also serve to alloy the
prejudices and III feelings excited by the
late war. We shall learn to appreciate the
many excellent and high.minded qualities
of our gentle neishbors and they, as i, is
to be hoped, will become satisfied that we
cherish no other sentiments towards Mexico
than that Of a generou 8 friendship, which /,
is the interest and duty Of both sister Re.
publics to cultivate in regard TO each other,
and the common destiny of this continent.

NEWS FROM EUROPE.

England presents a strange specials. &C.
cording to the intellige.;ooe last received BY
.n u asia; Lord RUSSELL, who is a free ira.
der, went out because Of his opposition to a
measure for the liberalizing of TIE elective
franchise, and Lord STANLEY, who is a pro.
tectionis,, is invited by the Queen to form a
new Cabinet, and fails to do SO, because of
a difference with Sir JAMES GRAHAM on the
que stIon OF the papal supremacy. Can it
be that free trade is regarded as a fixed prin'
ciple Of British policy, that no notice seems
to have been taken of the difference on that
question between RUSSELL and STANLEY, in
the attempt TO form a new ministryf We
can hardly think SO, when we reflect that up
TO the last moment of the RUSSELL regime,
the war between the fee trade and protec.
ton parties was waged with unceasing bit
%terness, and the London Times %rejoiced in
saying that the resignation of Lord JOHN
could not be claimed asa prote c,ion triumph.
And yet, after he goes out, Lord STANLEY,
who is the head of the Protection party in
England, is invited 10 create a Cabinet, and
fails only because Of a difference on ano,h-
er subject. and that not the Tariff question !
Would STANLEY go in and supper, free trade!
If he would not, could he survive the al
lacks of the free traders in Parliament. The
next steamer will see a Ministry formed, i,
is possible, with WELLINGTON in command :
but it will be giving his name only to fuse
the elements of a new administration, and
o hide the inc onsistencies of those who
could not live if they tried to lead ,hemsel-
