r The New York Courier and Enquirer
Is:
lMr. Buchanan il. to-day a. weak candidate,
| N the majority Of the American people and
| he becoross better understood he will become
|pidly weaker.
So it appears that Mr.. BreHASAN, after
Wing been constantly in the public service
the last forty years. is not yet under
ko,Iu by the American people. This con-
Esion implies very srrongly, what that class
politicians Of the Courier and Enquirer
Emp have always maintained, that the
|mmon people are a set of besotted igno-
muses. and dolis, or else. that Mr.. -BucH-
EAx's position before the public has been so
|tremely obscure as to render any invests
|tion of his CONDUCT and creed unnecessary.
low far such an implication is sustained by
e facts, we leave for the people themselves
decide. For ourselves, We had supposed
Ia. Mr.. BuoHASAN was as well under
bod by the great body of the American
Iople. as any other statesman now living

The New York journal nj Co,,,n,,

OF The New York Journal of Coa,nirrc
of Friday evening says in its money article
The retiring British officials left behind them
positive statements in regard to the course
which the British government will pursue in
reference to their dismissal, which we suppose
is the real cause Of all the present uneasIness.
They stated, it is said, that mir. Dallns would
be Immediately dismissed, and diplomatic in
tercourse with the United States suspended
This may be their opinion, but we doubt if
they are in the best position to Judge of the
course required by the British National honor.
Those Euglishmen in business here, whom we
have ever found best informed-in relation 10 the
sentiments of the British people, do not believe
that The American Minister will be dismissed,
or that any hostile attitude will be assumed
towards this government. There must be, how
ever, more or less unessiness until the question
is finally settled. How soon we shall learn the
result, il is, of course, impossible TO tell. We
understand that the dismissal Of Mr. Champion
was announced to the British Government by
the Asia which left New York, MAY 2Sth, but
no action will probably take place until the ar.
rival of Mr.. Champion, who left in the Canada,
June 4th. The Asia is TO leave Liverpool on
her return trip June l4th and will bring us the
tone Of the English press upon the reception of
the news. The action Of the government will
probably be made known here about the 4th of
July, and il at all belligerent (Which we do not
anticipate) will furnish Young America with
substitute for fire crackers on the eventful day.

are those having reference to the same subject
the relations between this country and Great Britain
What course the british government will pursue on
receiving the official intimaton of the dismissal OF
Champion, is warmly canvassed and Sill remains a
matter for speculation, which even the =" four days

press is savage we know, but that amounts to little
John Bull don't ike this country, all the humbug to
the contrary Notwithstanding. He did like it
since he lost it, and it is pleasure to him 10 read
and to hear good savage abuse of it, and his papers
especially those published within the sound OF " Bow
Bells" accommodate him in this amiable little weak
ness. That honest Johns hostility does not often go
beyond abuse is not from any increase of his love 10
us, but from powerful and deeply moving sympathy
with himself He feels that this most precious per-
SOD, himself, would be deprived of his best trade,
would suffer from a vacuity in the abdominal regions,
known as hunger, and would, in fact pay too dear
for his whistle Still, these considerations may
not always be sufficient to prevent breach of the
peace, especially where the comparatively defenceless
stale of one party might invite the blows of another
fully armed ard equipped; and it is certainly matter
wei! worthy of consideration by our people and gov
eminent that an immense British force is now concen

Col. FREMoNT.-T There is = discrepancy in the
biographies of Fremont which have been published as
to his birth place. Some of the accounts state that
he was born in Virginia, others in South Carolina,
and others again in Georgia. The following from
the Boston Telegraph, is said to be correct:
"John Charles Fremont was born at Saynnah
Georgia. January 81. 1913. His parents were re-
sidens of Norfolk, Va. but at the time of his BIRTH
they were on journey through the Southern States
His farther was born in France, near Lyons. Having
been taken prisoner by the English, while on the
way TO join his relatives in st. Domingo, he afterwards
escaped and came to the United States
"Being young man of fine taste and considerable
skill in painting he made friends and found en-
ployment At Norfolk, Va, he found the lady who
became his wife, and who is described as "a Young
Virginia lady of remarkable beauty And it is adj.
ded that they were married contrary to the wishes of
her family John Charles Fremont was their oldest
child. There were two other children-a daughter
who died at the age of seventeen, and son, the
youngest child, WHO died at the age of twenty
Col. Fremonts father died when these children
were all very young the Oldest being but four years
of age leaving his bereaved family in very dependent
and destitute circumstances. The widow removed
with her children and her poverty from Norfolk to
Charleston, S. c., where she fixed her permanent
residence"

power is superior that of the u States. The Apac
