MIS- CELLAN EOUS,
British Aggressions and Treaties with
the United States in Relation thereto.

The following history of the difficulties with
England on the "search and visitation" cues.
ton, from Harper's Weekly, throws much light
upon the subject and is well worth 2erusaI:
At the time this country began to have ma
tional navy, Great Britain exercised, by right OF
usurpation; the privilege of stopping and sea rch:
ing foreign merchant vessels on the high seas.
There was no warrant for the practice in the
books of international or maritime law. She
exercised the right because she chose to do so,
and because she had the power. For series
of years American merchant vessels were sub
ject to be stopped on the high seas, by British
cruisers, and searched for British saiors-who
then, as now, manned the bulk of our ships
Repeated remonstrance and protest against
this unjustiiable and insolent practice failing
to induce Great Britain to relinqush it, war
was at length declared by the United States.
1t was carried on with various fortune for a
couple of years. Both countries wearying OF
the strife, peace was declared. But in the
treaty ofpeace not word was said of the issue
on which the war had been waged. No settle.
ment of the question was effected. So far as
the right of search was concerned the war left
both nations in statu qto--tbe English assert
ing their pretended right, the United States
denying II as before.
Practically, however, the United States par
TALLY carried their point. While the Govern

"A RELIGIOUS SENSATION IN WASHINGTON
Dr. C"mmins Threatened-Quitea an excite.
ment has been created in the church circles oil
Washington, by DIR. Cummins' eulogy upon
Rev Dudley A. Tying, The latter is denounc-
ed as having been virulent aboltionist, and
his eulogiats classed in the same category.
The Washington STATES mentions the follow
mgton extraordinary occurrence, which may
have grown out of the excitement:
Yesterday Sunday morning, rather strange
looking man called on the Rev. DR.. CummiDs,
pastor of Trinity church, at his residence on
Louisiana avenue, and requested to speak To
hm. DIR. G. appeared, when the fellow inform
ed him very coolly that if he preached that
day he would shoot him; and without further
words he took his departure. Dr. Cummins
took no notice of the strange conduct, but pro.
ceedcd to the church and performed his pastoral
duties.
Alter the morning exercises were over, and
the usual collection was being taken, the man
was noticed to enter the upper gallery, and
take seat nearly over the pulpit, at the same
time liking his attention upon DIR. Cumnins.
who, feeling somewhat alarmed at these strange
actions, called gentleman and informed him
OF what the man had threatened, and that he
was now in the church. Two gentlemen i'm.
medately started out after policeman, but did
not find one
On returning, the stranger saw that prepa.
ratlons were being made to AXE him out, and
he saved the gentlemen the trouble bv making
a hurried exit from the church, and disappeared
down the street.
