Neutral Rights,

The resolution of Mr.. Deane, of N. Y.
declaring that free ships make free goods,
and that neutral flag protects vessels from
unreasonable search, has been referred to
the committee OH Foreign affairs. The
Observation-Disclosures of this principle o.
commerce involved us in war with Eng
land in 1912, and if it is not distinctly
enunciated as an indispensable condition
OF peace, and so acknowledged by Eng
land now, or if that power persists in the
practical observance of the negative OF
this principle, it will be matter of utter
impossibility for this government to remain
neutral in the now impending European
conflict. There should be prompt and
efficient action by Congress on the subject,
and let it be known TO the world what
may be expected if our rights on the seas
are not respected.
The impressment BY the British Govern
ment Of naturalized American seamen, in
10 their naval service, because they may
be natives of England, is another question
that will have to be settled between the
two countries-if il is contemplated that
we are to occupy neutral position in re-
ation to beIligerent. European powers. If
England will not observe these two de-
ciared rights, rs sure as we are n nation,
we will have 10 become the ally of Russia.
Since writing the above the intelligence
has reached this country ola treaty nego-
liated by our minister Mr.. Buchanan, by
which England abandons the right of
search, and comedies that Gree ships make
free goods.

Public Ladies.

and simplicity
"Indlsposition which has kept us in
our room prevented our seeing or hearing
Miss Brown while she was in Pittsburg,
and sudden influx of domestic cares pre-
vented our doing the usual amount of ed
itoriai work last week"
And thus would it be, were the ladies to
effect reveIsion of the custom of the
country and introduce themselves into the
more masculine occupations of life. A Ia
dy legislator, would, from "sudden in
ilux of domestic cares have to leave her
seat, no matter what the bill that might be
up for vote or discussion. Also, the lady
physician, would have TO let her patients
die for want OF medical aid, OH account OF
detention at home by a Sudden influx OF
domestic cares The lady lawyer, would
have to abandon her client and his cause,
and retire 10 her bed, and there enjoy the

Felicitas Multos Habet AMIGOS.

friends are needed, and how suddenly the
warm gushing friendship is changed to
cold formality, avoidance, neglect, and
even abuse. No hand is extended to aid

An A fair of Honor.

A pair of young bloods, considering that
an insult had passed between them,
hired conveyance and walked over to
Bladensburg formerly known as Stuarts
meadow. the other morning to settle the
"affair of honor" by resort to fsticufling.
Several blows passed without blooa-shed,
when one o. the bellieerents, in attempts
iEg to dodge" turned up his heels where
his head ought to have been. The other,
taking advantage Of this .faur pas, jumped
on him, anl applied his grip to the jugglar

out for aeant Of 6ref and consequently, as he
SAID, blated "enough !" to prevent further

IMCartapt RulnOr-

Il is stated by the New York Herald
that the President expects 10 receive an
answer from the Spanish Government pos
itively refusing TO accede TO the demand
made with regard to the Black Warrior al
fail, together with Information that England
and France have dispatched strong fleets
to reinforce their squadrons in the West
indies, thus carrying out the terms of the
secret treaty to uphold the Spanish dynasty
in Cuba.
We are incredulous Of any such result
to the Black Warrior case. England and
France will require every national m uscle
to be stretched to its utmost tension to at
tend to Russia. 1t would be a wild move
ment, in the event of universal European
quiet, for these governments to attempt
any such demonstration, and it would be
wolse than madness Cor them to seek an
engagement with Russia and the United
States at the same time. If, however,
such should be the case, the world since
its formation has never witnessed such a
conflict, as that which will shake the
Kingdoms Of the earth, and deluge CONT
nents in blood, by collision of the great
powers Of the Eastern and Western Hem
isphereS.

Lecture In Union Hall.

w. A. Bartlett Professor Of Languages

ouI most prominent citizens to deliver a
Lecture i'll Union Hall, Oh some Literary
subject has yielded to the solicitation, and

ply with the invitation. His subject will
be-Ihe Legacies Of The Past.
From what we have heard OF Mr.. b.
qualifications for the task to which he ha,
been invited, we car promise our citizens
rich intellectual repast. The subject he
has chosen is pregnant of interest--it is a
theme full Of eloquence in itself, and we
doubt not, all who may hear Mr.. B. will
not only be entertained, but edited.
1t is matter ofsurprise to us that the lite
rary taste and spirit of our community have
SO long remained inactive. We have am.
pie material to furnish a Lecture every
week, and we trust, in future, now thai
the subject has been introduced. we will
frequently be RECALLED by such intellectual
pastimes.

o. r. NJ. Smith of the Alexandra
Sentinel, and N. Tyler. of the Warrenton
Flag, have brought their discussion of the
Nebraska question TO a personal issue
Strong talk is used by Mr.. Tyler, abeu,
transferring the difficulty to another arena
for adjustment. Mr. Smith replies in the
Sentinel of the 18th with great pungency
and says Mr.. 7. was his pupil, knew him to
be member of christian church and that
he held the obligations Thereof to be more
bindingthan any other under which he could
be placed. We have slight acquaintance
with Mr.. S., and from that acquaintance
we would suppose him almost incapable
OF insulting fellow man. He bears about
him as prominently as any man we know
the marks Of the christian. But not hav-
ing read carefully the discussion as it pro-
crossed, we will not undertake 10 express
an..opinion OH the subject. Mr.. SIS broth
er took up the quarrel, and meeting Mr..
Tyler in the streets Of Warrenton, asked
for settlement Of the difficulty, when
the latter drew a revolver, to shoot. Mr..
s., although not armed told him to shoot,
but he did not do it. They We're then
both bound over to keep the peace.
This IS bad business for editors, but it
will occur sometimes.

sentencing Shreves to 10 years imprison'

mail. took occasion to call the attention Of
the P. o. Department to the danger Of ex-
posing youths to the temptation which the
office of mail carrier presents. The SUBJ
ject should certainly be acted OH with rig
or and promptness, for many boy has had
to suffer the odlum of robbery, when he
has only been the instrument of designing
men, to accomplish their purposes. Youth
should not be exposed to such temptation !;
because many might be induced to steal,
in the vain hope Of escaping detection.

they would never have thought of rob-
bling.
