the decisive vote Of &c 10 Is, and much
speculation exists as to the result Of the re-

lection would be followed by an immediate
war with Mexico, the President thinking
himself called on to seize upon the Mesilla

considered as ,hrea. by Senators, and it is
generally believed that another commission

IMPORTANT TREATY WITH ENGLAND

IMPORTANT TREATY WITH ENGLAND
The Right Of Search .Abandoned.-La,e
advices from England are to the effect that
Mr.. Buchanan, the American Minister, has
secured an impor'an. treaty relative TO the
right Of search. I. seems that he and Lord
Aberdeen have agreed on behalf of their re-
spective governments, to the doctrine tina.
the flag covers both ship and cargo, and
that free ships make free goods also re-
nouncing the right of search for the i'm
pressment of seamen SO far as American
vessels are concerned, and conceding a re-
striclion as to the law Of blockade. In re-
turn, the United States is pledged TO neu-
trali,y and non-in,erference in the coming
contest between the Western Powers and
Russia.
This is a most important convention, and
has been negotiated by Mr.. Buchanan with
GU. instruction from Washington. 1t is i'm
por,anl as i. effects our rights and our COM
merce, and places US in the position that
we should have occupied years and
wears ago. !. secures our neutrality, as i.
bIes us 10 become the great carrier on the
seas of the world. Mr.. Buchanan has thus
achieved diplomatic triumph !; and his sue
cess exhibits the importance 10 the country
In 1912 the doctrine Of the right Of search
led TO the war with Great Britain. The
treaty Of Client left the matter unse,,led.-
In 1918 Lord Castlereagh unsuccessfully
endeavored to obtain our consent 10 .ht
doctrine by special treaty s'ipula'ions; bu
i, continued unsettled. When Messrs
Webster and Ashbur,on were arranging tht
treaty at Washington, in 1912, all reference
10 the doctrine was s,udiously avoided fo
fear Of rupture in the negotiations a, iha

BURNING OF A ASTEAMER.-The Savannah Repub.
lican of Wednesday, says:
"About 1.2 o'clock last evening, heavy smoke
was seen to issue from the hold of the steamer
Castor. abaft the engine and on examination fire
was discovered to have worked strong headway,
Immediately beneath the ladies' cabin. Every eli.
fort was made to extinguish the fame but with no
success, until scutling her was restored to. About
81-2 o'clock she finally settled and the fire was
overcome. The smoke issuing from the hold of the
burning steamer increasing in density as the fire
progressed, it was with difficulty that the fremen
could pursue their efforts in keeping down the
flame until the time of her sinking.
THE steamer was unemployed yesterday, and
no fires had been made In her furnaces The only
fire used on board during the day was that in the
caboose In the forward part Of the boat for cooking
purposes by the crew; and as the fre discovered
in the after part of the boat is unaccounted for it
may be presumed to have been the work of an in
cendiary.
"The CASTOR was formerly employed in the Flo
rda trade, but of late has been used as tow boat
on the Savannah river.
"We regret to state that our friend, Mr.. j. Gun
nlnghani, of this city, owner of the steamer will
sustain loss of $4,000 by this occurrence as his
vessel was not insured
