Correspondence Of The n. T. Tribune.
OBERLIN, Ohio, Sept T. 1875.
/ reached home only few hours ago, after sey-
ersl days absence, 10 find the community in great
excitement about an occurrence of the day before
yesterday. The facts, as gather them from sev-
eral relsbls sources, are briefly these:
A fugitive slave, OF winter skin than many who
boast Of Saxon ancestry not long since received a
letter from friends at the South, warning him
that some person had written 10 his master, stat
ing that the runaway was at Oberlin snd could be
easily taken and returned, and intmating that the
author of this intelligence might DE moved oy ap-
propriate considerations to act IN the matter.
This information very properly drew ont of the fu'
gitive certain instincts common not only TO men,
but even to animals: and therefore. whether We
adopt Judge Taneys chronological views or not, We
cannot blame him. After consultation with
friends, he determined to seek an interview with
United States Marshal Dayton, who has for long
time been the terror Of the poor coiored people
here and the loathing of every honest n3n and
woman; and unless said Dayton should acquit
himself OF completely in the treason, apply some
substantial arguments specimen OF the treat

in his dastardly course. The parties meeting
about 5 p. m. in front of the Palmer House, the
fugitive, having stout walkiDe-eane IN his
hand. sccosted the Marshal with the In
quiry whether he had not designs against
his personal freedom, and called for an
explicit answer. The Marshal eyaded the inquiry
and began to feel for his revolver, which latter
movement cut short the parley. and precipitafed
the cane upon the MsrshaIs head. rHe staggered

CHINA.

The China mail, already telegraphed, had reached
England. The Hong hong correspondent Of TIE
London Times, writing on the 9th Of July, ssy-:
The Russian and United States Ministers have
concluded treaties with the Chinese and the bearer Of
the Russian treaty is passenger by the present
steamer We cannot state positively what conces-
son- have been obtained from the Chinese by these
treaties, but il ia probable good deal Is eit to de-
pend upon the treaties to be obtained BY the Allies
the Russians and Americans stipuatng for the same
privileges as granted to other nations II s mentioned
that the Americans stipulated for the opening If the
new ports Of Swatow and Taiwan, in Formosa As
regard. the question Of compensation for property de-
stroyed at Canton, do not hear that anything was
arranged.
Negotiations by the Allied ambassadors are said
TO be progressing, and it expected that treaties
would be signed about the 22d nit. II this result had
been obtained al the time mentioned, ought to
have steamer direct from the Peiho with the intel
genee. 1t il reported tina, all the demands of the
Allies had been acoeded to- and that the conditions of
the treaties will confer extended privileges upon
foreigners, and include guaranty for indeInnitcs
tion for property destroyed at Canton
Great hostility continued to be exhibited at Canton
toward foreign residents and the acting british Consul
had issued notice advising them to be prepared for
sudden departure.
A blockade of the river at Canton had been estab
shed in so far as Chinese boats were concerned and
trade wss suspended. All the native merchants had
left, and also the greater portion Of the foreign COM
munity.
The latest accounts state that French man-of-war
had sheled Shamun, part of the western suburbs Of
Canton, a. FrenchInan had been killed in that neigh
bGrhood.
In the Pekin gazettes the word " barbarian had
been omitted in referring to foreign affairs.

The banquet given bythe Lord Mayor of Dublin to
Mr. c. L. Bright, the Engneern-Ch Chei OF the Attain
tic Telegraph Company, in celebration OF the success
f laying of the cable took place the lst inst, and
was a very brilliant affair. The Lord Lieutenant,
Lord Eginton and his Court did not attend the ban
qet and il il said the invitation declined because
Cardinal Niseman was one of the guests. The alb
sence of Lord Egnton attracted much attention, and
il was supposed the alleged cause would go far toward
lessenng his popularity in Ireland. In returning
thanks for toast to his health, Mr.. Bright warmly
acknowledged the services rendered by the Americans
engaged in the great enterprise, and to Mr. Field IN
particular he accorded the most unqualified praise,
declaring that but for the wonderful energy and cap
ability displayed by that gentleman the line conld
never have been in existence soon. He concluded
by proposing "the health of Mr. Field and the Amer
"can officers who aided in the enterprise and the
toast drank with loud and long-continued cheer
ing Among the tOasts was one to MIR. Lever, the
protector OF the Galway line OF steamers, who spoke
hopefully of the success of the enterprise.
Cardinal Wiseman was enthusiastically welcomed at
the banquet, while the toast to the Lord Lieutenant
was received with marked coldness and some indca-
tions of decided disapprobation.

and Mr. Bright are to be hOnored with knighthood
for their services in laying the cable.
