had appeared to him the night previous, and as-
sured him that brother Avery was innocent

without abating attention to his work, or rails

The Late Judge Smith, of New Hampshire,

MURDER on THE HrGu SgAs-TRe MMrderes.
Sltot an the Riggtaig.-One of the most singular
incidents connected with the annals ofcrime &C.
CURED on the last voyage of the ship Owen Will
liams, from the African coast to Liverpool. 1t
appears that few days before her arrival, one
of the hands, John Simmonds, a Manila boy,
had been guilty of some act of INSTRUMENTATION
or theft, and to escape punishment he took to the
rigging, carrying with him marlin spike He
was summoned to descend, and on refusing to
do so, seaman was sent after him. After chas-
ing him about the yards and shrouds for some
time, he was the point of effecting his capture
when the lad turned sharply round and struck
him violent blow on the head The man fell
upon the deck corpse The young ruffian was
again summoned to surrender himself but he
persisted in maintaining his elevated position,
where he remained the whole of the night. On
the following morning several blank cartridges
were fired at him, to intimidate him into descend
ing, but these not having the desired effect, a
loaded pistol was fired, and the ball taking effect,
the lad came tumbling down the rigging The
wound caused by the shot was not of serious
moment, butin the fall his collar bone was brok-
en-, and he sustained several severe Commissions.
On the vessels arrival in Liverpool he was con-
veyed to the Northern Hospital, where he will
remain until sufficiently recovered to be handed
over to the police authorities.

ENGLAND AND THE U. STATES.

For some days past, we have been publishing
extracts from the English journals, showing the.
views taken by them of the questions of disa-
greemsnt existing between the two governments,
and giving a fair sample of the war feeling prev
slent in England. Some of these articles are
flercely arrogant, and very obnoxious to the
American reader. While VIC believe there ex-
ists strong probability of a war, we are
not of those who desire to see it, and the tisas-
tfous events accompanying it; but, while we
desire peace, we prefer war rather than have
our government submit to conditions adverse.te
aunaintenance of honor and dignity, in the eyes
OF our people, and of other governments The
tone of the English Press, is well calculated to
stir up the worst passions of the English people,
and hasten calamity which they pretend to be
DESTROYS to avert; while not single citizen Of
this country will feel the least intimidation at
their rounded periods and threatening words.
The Americans, themselves, are great takers,
and it will require something more than mere
words however high-sounding, to drive them
from maintenance of principles handed down
from the earliest periods of our government,
snd instilIed into their minds in boyhood.
We see nothing in the threats to burn our sea-
board cities, from oneend of the Union to the
other; to sink our navy by single brOad-side;
and the possession of the lakes by an English
beet. 1t sounds no more terrible now, than it
did in 1912 rand even then, hampered with our
swadlline cloths about our loins, it was found
much less difficult to write them on paper, than
to execute them in fact The British Press
seem to forget the experiences of 1912 they
entirely look over the lessons of the Mexican
war Comparatively, we have no Navy at this
time to sink no Army to be apnihilated but
let war be declared, and new scene will pres
ent ITSELF The magic of American ingenuity
will place ships, bristling with canon, in every
sea, to annoy the commerce of our enemy, aud
to protect our own and soldiers, armed and
equipped for the strife, will spring from the
womb of our nation till their numbers will de-
ter the naughty Briton from placing foot upon
our soil. America is not nation to be whip
ped. Her people have too much to fight for, her
institutions are too dear to every heart, to yield
to soldiers dispirited by the abjectness of their
position, and without love for the Government
that hunger forces them to serve. We desire
peace and abhor war, but if war must come, let it
come quickly. We want foe worthy of being
the antagonist of the American people.

BRTTisH RECRUITING IN THE UNITED STATES
The Washington Union approves of the Senate
resolution calling for the correspondence and ho-
pes that the President will deemit compatible
with the public interest to answer the call
With regard to Lord Clarendon's assertion that
sufficient apology had already been offered to
this country the Union says:
We venture to say-and we do not say it
| lightly Lord Clarendon's statement in the
House of Lords is substantially incorrect, and
we shall be greatly disappointed if this is not
the judgment of both countries when the docu-
ments shall be made public.
1t has been said that an apology has been ten
dered by England to the United States for the
wrong done to their laws and sovereign rights,
and that our government has refused to accept
| it, and an eHortis made by the organs Of the
British ministry to impress the English people
with the beliefthat President Pierce's admins
traton is unreasonable; but, from what we have
heard Of the correspondence, we venture to as
sure our readers that the facts therein contained
will expose this stratagem, and prove TO the sat
iSfaction Of every candid man that no such apol-
| ogy has beenmade.
The documents will enable the people of the
United States to judge of the merits of the case
and of the grounds on which Lord Clarendon's
accuracy is impeached 1t we are not much
mistaken as to the disclosures which will be made
by the documents, it will be found that our laws
and territorial rights have been openly violated
by British officials, within our jurisdiction, and
not only has no offer of satisfaction, or even ac
acknowledgement of an error, been made, but acts
most manifestly in violation of our law are de,
Tended and justified. For exercising the priv
lege accomplishing, and respectfully suggesting
that we entitled to some redress for fata
blow struck at our sovereignty, we are threaten
ed by the organs of the British Ministry with
the visit of the British fleet to burn our cities
| deyastate our coasts, and kindle the fame of q
scrvile war. To make this buster little more
redoubtable, we are told thar the French feet is
to take parts in this pleasant pastimc. With
France our relations arr, as all the world knows
on the footing'of cofdiality and friendship; and
it is believed that there is a mutual desire tina,
they should so remain. 1t is not, therefore, very
probable that the Emperor of the French will
Accommodate his ally with his feet for such an
enterprise.

FRENCH SPoLIATIoSs.-Inth the q. S. Senate, on
Tuesday, the President laid before that body
communication from the Department of State,
made in compliance with a resolution of the SEN
ate of the 18th ult, calling for copy of there
port the adjudications made by the Board of
American Commissioners at paris to liquidate
and audit the claims of American citizens, for
the satisfaction of which provision was made by
the convention between the United States and
France of April 80, 1903, &c, and what has be-
come of the evidence and proofs of loss so called
for and received by the Government
The Secretary Of State replied, in effect, that
no report like that called for by the resolution
can be found in the Department or any trace
that such report was ever made or filed there.
On the contrary it is inferred from the letter of
Mr. Fulwer Skipwith TO Mr.. Madison that in
point of fact there never was any report of the
character referred to. 1t appears from the in
structions of this Department to the Ministers
of the United States at Paris, and from reports
Senate by his predecessors, that the proof in the
cases of claims on France were from time to time
transmitted those Ministers.
The efficiency orinefhciency of the aid alleged
to have been prOtEered by this Government for
their recovery is believed to be too much mat
ter of public notoriety to require either the ex
preston of an opinion or the statement of a fact
by the Department of State on the subject
From the transmission to the Legation of the
United States at Paris of the proofs in cases of
claims, it might be presumed that the claimants
accepted the overture which is referred to- No
evidence of its withdrawal OF modification can
be found in the Department, or any precise in
formation as to where proofsint the several cases
| of claim may be lodged The letter alluded to
by the Secretary of State is from Mr. Fulwer
Skipwith, United States consul and agent for
claims at Paris, to Mr.. Madison, and dated Sep.
| TENDER 1905.

We have just seen two new notes Of the
State Bank of Ohio, which we think very beauti-
full specimens of bank note engraving both in
design and execution. They are a two and a
twenty dollar note, anew plate of which, we I'M
derS all, the Beard of Control has Just had en-
graved by Draper, Welsh & Co., Philadelphia.
The yignette of the two dollar note represents
a prominent interest of the State. 1t shows a
Canal boat passing lock. The tired horses
have halted, and the driver is seated at rest, in
his saddle in conversation with man who leans
upon the horse. The other horse is started by
a locomotive and train paSsinga viaduct short
distance ahead. The design is truthful, spirited
and finely executed. On the upper left hand
corner lisa capital likeness of Daniel Webster
As an additional protection against alteration,
the denomination "two' is engraved in faint lines,
in bold, upward sweep over the space for the
signatures.
On the twenty dollar note, the pioneer domcs-
tic industry of the State is represented at the up
per left hand corner by landscape, in which a
female is seated ct her spinning wheel, on the
ground near by sheep are quietly sleeping, while
in the distance the steamboat, emblem of our
present prosperity, ploughS her way through
the waters At the lower left hand corner is a
fine portrait of Henry Clay, engraved expressly
for this note from an authentic and popular like
ness.
These notes are embellished and protected by
a new style of lathe work. both on the face and
back, the back plate being made up ola rich
display oflathe and medallion work; and no effort
appears to have been spared by the engraves to
insure security against counterfeiters, and it is
very much to the credit of this house, notwith-
standing it is now nearly five years since the new
notes of the State Bank Of Ohio were put in cir
culation no attempt to counterfeit them has ever
come to light. To enable the public to deter
mine at once which notes of the State Bank have
never been counterfeited, it is but necessary to
remember that in all the old plates the name OF
the branch is written, whilst in the new ones it
is engraved.-0. s. Journal.
