The Japan Treaty.

The opening of Japan by a convention of
Peace and Amity with the United States, is
an event Of no slight importance in the his
tory of Nations. The treaty was ratified by
the Senate in secret session on the 10TH The
credit of its formation belongs to the Admins
tration of Mr.. Fillmore, by whom the cxpcdi-
tion was fitted out, and the project carried
along to point where the GOODNESS of the
present administration could not prevent its
success.
The document given below, made its ap-
pearancc, as did the Reciprocity treaty, in the
Nao York Times, which paper appears to
possess uncommon facilities for obtaining
papers committed to the Senate under the in
junction of secrecy 1t opens to American
citizens and American trade, the port of 81
moda on the island Of Niphon, some 40 or 80
miles west of the entrance Of Yedo Bay, and
the port of Ilakodadc, on the island of Yesso,
in the district Of Matsmay, on the Straits of
Sanga. The former is place of considerable
commercial Importance, having good harbOr
and population Of fifteen or twenty thou

districts, which are not otherwise approach
able by sea, renders it an important position,
as port for foreign trade. The vicinity of
the latter place has been frequently visited by
American whaleships, where however they
have always had great difficulty in procuring
supplies, on account of the the restrictive
policy Of the japanese.
The treaty is not an imposition of the
strong upon the weak. neither is it com
merc'al treaty, but general contention of
omity and friendship. 1t is the only inter
national treaty ever made by the empire of
Japan, since Its discovery by Marco Polo,
although repeated attempts have formerly
been made to enter into relations with them
of this character. The privileges enjoyed by
the Dutch, were mere grant to a private
Company

The ghost of that dark and damming trial
Will not down. but starts up at every
corner. We had supposed that all the par

the shameful acquittal of the cold-blooded
murderer Of Butler, would ever he content to
hold their peace but guilt speaks with
most miraculous organ" and the veriest
criminal feels sort of relief in I" freeing his
mind, even if by so doing he only confesses
the existence @ Of that pcrilous stuff which
weighs upon guilty heart. One of the
Jnrymen, named Crutcher, makes long ex-
pose OF the secrets Of the Jury room in hopes
to shield himself from the charge Of corrup-
ton 1t appears that on the going out Of
the j ury, ten We're for acquittal, and two for

Boston and some other cities have less coin in
their banks at this moment than twelve or
fifteen years ago, when the gold Of California
was not thought of.
New York is NE dry goods market Of the
Union. In this item the tabular details are
appalling Nearly ninety millions in dry
goods thrown upon the New York market 20
the channel for distribution to all the remote
points, North, East, South and West. The
most formidable item, however, under this
head. is the quantity warehoused, viz &ll,-
500 900 for 1864, against ~5, 6O5 900 for
the previous year. Europe, under ordinary
circumstances, deluges the United States with
manufactured goods, but the past year has
been prolific in its yield, The political con-
dition of Europe has no doubt served to force
upon our market, at heavy sacrifices, large
quantities Of dry goods that would otherwise
have waited local demand. Whether these
sacrifices will permit recurrence Of such
enormous imports into the United States we
leave to thu next years history to show

The Reciprocity Treaty, which we give at
length, it is now supposed will be approved
by the |. 5. Senate, and we see no reason why
1t may not prove advantageous to all parties
if carried into effect by the assent of the dil-
fcrcnt parties concerned. 1t will be noticed
that the articles which are to go free, are not
what is called manufactured articles. So far
as trade is concerned the result will be a free
dom from trouble and delay to both parties,
rather than any positive sort Of profit.
The settlement of the fishery question as
proposed by it, cannot be complained of. so far
AS we see. The free navigation of the ST..
Lawrence must be advantageous to Ameri-
cans, and that of Lake Michigan equally 50
to the Canadians.

There shall be sung another golden age,
The rise of empire and ofarts,

The wiscst heads and noblcst hearts

When heavenly flame did animate her clay,

A correspondent of the Boston Journal,
from Cincinnati, compares Ohio with some of
the Eastern States as to their agricultural re-
suits as follows
81 have before me the census returns of
1850, and give somo of the items Of discre-
pancy.
Taking the article OF butter, a product
universally used, | find that in the product of
pounds per COW, Ohio is far behind many 9TH
cr States, producing but 63 lbs per COW per
annum, while sterile New Hampshire yield 73
lbs, Vermont SO, and New York IS lbs, tho
latter also selling vast quantity of milk
more in proportion than Ohio.
"ln the article of cheese there is still n
greater difference, Ohio produces but sc lbs
per COW per annum, while Vermont gives 50
and Connecticut 60.
lin sheep Ohio is again behind, in quaint
ty per sheep, and also quality, Vermont gives
3.S5 lbs. per sheep. while Ohio returns but
2.5, The result should be the other way.-
Ohio should be in the ascendency, and in all
probability will be, for she is progressing
with rapid strides, and ere long will be only
equalled by New York in wealth and power. Z"

In the items of Dry Goods the increased
amount thrown upon the market, is fully

eral importations for 1884, the increase be
yond the previous year Is about sixteen per
cent. Foreign sugar is the second article in
Importance. and the articles of iron and steel
now form the third in value in addition to
which the single article OF railroad iron
amounts TO no less than 1900 900 for the
past year
