Negotiations with Great Britain.


The negotiations between the Secretary
OF State and the British Minister, Mr.. Cramp-
ton are proceeding with due activity. What
the precise arrangements are. it is, of course
not easy to learn; but is known that Mr..
Champion, is now waiting for further in
structions in order to finish the affair. It is
understood that not only has the subject of
the fisheries been discussed and reciprocity
with the provinces adverted to, but the
Hudson Bay Company, have managed, also
to lay in their claim for certain possessive
rights in Oregon.-This latter business, it
will be remembered, was trled on during the
close Of President Poik's administration, and
the beginning of that Of Gen. Taylor's, but
unsuccessful, notwithstanding the ingenious
lobbying which was brought to bear. Several
millions were then demanded for these
possessive rights; but as the Hudson's Bay
people could not show that their property
was worth as many thousands, the idea was
at that time abandoned in disgust. 1t is
now to be tackled to the Goldfish.

LUNCH ROOM IN THE CAPITOL.

AecOAtA AIN 1tE I11obs
The best lunch to be had in the 'city of
magnificent distances" is in the lunch room
at the Capitol. The readers at the universal
Cotton Plant must not be surprised to hear
that, within the walls of the Capitol of this
great republic, is just as snug and cozy a res
turant as is to be found any where in the
world. Here chubby-looking pigs, that seem
to have been caught Gas the artists have it) g.
cooked in the agones of death; turkeys, and
chickens kicking up their legs; ducks with
folded wings; beef beautifully roasted; ham sin
champaigne;" suspicious looking bottles; long
necked do; siver-capped do; black do; blue
dc; green do; square do; and stout do; with
eggs, and butter, and coffee, and sugar, ETC.,
etc., are congregated to satisfy "the assem-
bled wisdom that all's right in the country"
(The roast pig, which looks as though it had
died of apopiexy, shows that.)
1t is marvellous sight TO see General Cass
and General Rnsk talking over the "Texas
boundary" with their mouths full of bread e.
butter; to see Soule and Summer uiS-a-uis
over the agonizing turkey; to deliberate upon
the sublimity of Seward, perferring his fingers
to fork, as he munches away at the "drum-
stick" of chicken, (ofwhich he is fond.)
say it is marvellous sight.
Just fancy Old Jacinto and Borland, after a
tilt in the Senate, to breathlesS audience:

...r.. From an English Paper.
THERE'S ROOM ENOUGH FOR ALL
What need of all this fuss and strife,
. Each warning with his brother;
Why should we, in the crowd Of life,
\ Keep trampling down each otherl
Is there no goal that can be won,
3 Without fight to gain it;
No other way Of getting on,
But grabbing to obtain itl
Oh! fellow-men, hear wisdom then,
In friendly warning call
"Your clans divide, the world is wide
There's room enough for nll!"
What if the swarthy peasant find
No field for honest laborl
He need not idly stop behind,
To thrust aside his neishbor,
There is land of sunnsmHns,
Where gold for toll is given,
Where every brawny hand that tries
Its strength, can grasp living.
Oh! fellow remember then,
Whatever chance befall,
The world is wide. where these abide,
There's room enough for all.
From poisoned air ye breathe in courts,
And typhus tainted alleys,
Go forth and dwell where health resorts,
In fertile hills and valleys.
Where every arm that clears bough,
Finds plenty in. attendance,
And every furrow Of the plough .....
A step of Independence.
Oh! hasten then, from fevered den,
And lodgings cramped and small,
The world is wide in land, beside
There's room enough for all
In this fair region far away,
Will labor find employment,
A fair days work, a fair days pay,
And toll will earn enjoyment
What need they, of this daily strife,
Where each wars with his brother9
Why need we through the crowd of life,
Keep tramping down each othera
From rage and crime that distant cline
Will free the ,.auper's thra;
. Take fortunes tide; the world so wide,
Has room enough for all.
There is not room if one may own,
The land that others toll on;
If gold be dug, or grain be sown
For drones to gorge and spoil on!
Buff to each the equal chance
Toplough and dig be guarded,
To competence may all advance,
Through honest toll rewarded.
There's room, and more than room'we Know
And gold beyond the mountains;
Then let the land, and chance for gold,
Be free az natures fountains.

A Correspondent Of the Sanduskey Register
writing from Columbus says:
"The Bank war is again to be commenced.
A few days since Mr. Gest introduced bill
for the relief Of payers of taxes illegally orun-
constitutionally assessed, permitting them.
after paying the full amount assessed, to sue
for the recovery Of the portion illegally
assessed. Pretty strong intimations have been
given cut, that no faithful Democrat will vote,
for this bill. Its design was to allow banks
to pay the taxes under the new tax law, and
sue in the U. s. Cour! for the recovery of so
much as they can prove unconstitutional or
illegal. A bill has also been introduced for
the more speedy collection of Bank taxes in
This Stat, which authorizes Treasuer
to use all necessary force to break
into the safes, vaults, rooms, &C., Of any bank,
and levy on the coin, notes &c, therein, to
the no int of the tax, another bill has been
introduced for the safe keeping and disburse-
ments of the public funds of Ohio, which
requires all receipts TO be paid inspecie or
notes of tax paying banks in this State, and
disbursement to be in specie. Very well,
the Banks must fight their own battles, and
not rely on the Wings"

an article on the present condition Of our mo-
netary affairs, in the last Columbus Elevator,
which contains observations well deserving
consideration: The article says; (Cin. Gas
"Ohio j. not likely, in case Of sudden re-
vulsion in business, TO suffer the less, but ra-
ther the more because, she has not contributed
her share Of paper money. 1t is certain that
an inferior class Of bank paper is in conse-
quence palmed upon her confding citizens.
The whole of our bank issues does not prob
ably exceed thirteen millions, and from the
vast quantity and high prices Of our surplus
products, and the great number of railways
in.progress Of construction, forty millions are
probably required to transact our business.
twenty-five millions, therefore, are furnish
ed from other States. Like large number
of our fellow citizens, we arc wholly ignof-
ant Of the character Of this paper, as we are
Of those who administer the affairs of those
institutions. We are far from wishing to
create alarm or distrust; but It would be al
most nirt Gle if all these multitudinous
banking institutions should be sound and bo-
nesty conducted. Unless great care and vi
GLANCE shall be used we shall be pleasantly

by, and probably sooner than is generally ex-
pected, shall not be most cruelty swindled."
We would ask our citizens to turn back to
about the year 1898, and see whether things
do not look little now as they did then.-
Our Legislators should not handle roughly
the delicate machinery which constitutes
credit. 1t is dangerous to stop a machine
suddenly which has acquired too much velo-
city. They ought to do something, hcwever,
to guard the community against impositions
and frauds, not forgetting at the. same time
that the laws OF commerce are stronger than
any statute. We blame our banks for not
doing more to prevent the circulation Of
doubtful foreign paper amongst the people.
They ought as soon as possible without inju-
ry reject all such issues as they deem the
least doubtful, and give timely notice of such
intention. This is duty we think they owe
the public, and we call upon them to perform
il. We are not, however, of those who would
set the dogs upon our own sheep to drive out
our neighbors' that had broken in amongst
them-much less would we destroy our flock
that theirs goats and all, might batten on our
rich pastures.
