The TAKING OF CANToN-By late arrival
from Europe, we have the details of the news
relating to the taking of Canton by the English
and French troops on the 30th of December
The Governor of Canton was taken prisoner as
well as Yeh and the Tartar General The Gov
ernor, Pehquei, was subsequently installed as
Vice Governor Of the city with powers similar
to those previously welded by Yeh. The allies
were to continue their protectorate until salts
factory terms were made with the government
of Pekin. A commission composed of two Eng
lishnen and one Frenchman had been charged
with the supervision of the government, and
had issued proclamation inviting the people
to return and assuring them Of protection.
The TREASURY NOTES.-THE list of bids for
the five million of Treasury Notes offered to
capitalists by the Government is given in the
monetary column Of the Baltimore Sun of Tues
day. The bids were opened at Washington on
Monday, and they amount to very nearly seven
millions Of dollars, Of which s., 496, 900 come
from New York. This sum, however, is ex-
ceeded by ting Washington bids, which, on the
part Of Riggs. & Co., amount to $4,000 600, at
from four to five per cent. Five per cent. is
the rate for all the heaviest bids, including
million by Drexel & Co., of Philadelphia, and
one million and a half by the Bank of Com
merce at New York There are no bids from
Baltimore.
MORMON WAR.-From Utah we have impor-
tant intelligence down to January 25, by way
of Council Bluffs. The Mormons were manu-
featuring cannon, revolvers and gunpowder a.
gainst time of need A slight skirmish be-
tween a party of them and picket guard
of the troops had taken place, in which two of
the former, and it was said, four of the latter
had been killed. Brigham Young's sermons
had assumed more fiery tone, and an audi
ence of nine thousand people had pronounced,
by rising, in favor Of war to the death. The
person who brings this news tells a pretty large
story about secret mountain pass, known only
to the Mormons. Captain Marcy, writing from
Taos, says that he had a terrible journey thith-
er from Fort Bridger.

+ Ms The Alexandria Gazette learns that it is
more than probable, that under an act of incor-
poration, the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association
will very shortly purchase from Mr.. Washing
ton, Mount Vernon, and that arrangements will
ultimately be made to secure that object, salts
factory to all parties. The Ladies will be able
to make a first payment of about $4,000 in
cash.

The CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION BILL
We understand that the provisions Of this bill,
passed by the late Legislature Of our State, are
very similar to those under which the Conven-
ton which formed the present Constitution were
originated The qualified electors are to decide
at an election to be held on the fourth Wednes-
day of May next ''for" OF ''against' Conven-
ton. The result Of the vote is to be returned
to the Governor within twenty days after the
election. If the majority Of the ballots cast are
in favor of calling a Convention, then the Gov
ernor issues his proclamation ordering an cleo
ton of delegates to the Convention, upon the
basis Of representation in the Legislature now
possessed by the several counties and the city of
Baltimore. The election will take place on the
second Wednesday of October, 1885, and the
Convention will meet at Annapolis on the first
Wednesday of January, 1859. The Constitl-
ton adopted by this Convention is finally tobe
submitted on the first Wednesday of Novef1-
1859, to the qualified voters of the State forA-
doption or rejection, and if adopted will 90 into
effect at such time thereafter as may be deAk-
mined by its provisions.
HaPIn consequence of the failure of the Lee
glslature to pass the Eastern Shore Railroad Bill
it is said the feeling Of indignation on the part
of the citizens in that section of our State, viii
soon be expressed in a delberative form, to re-
pudiate, Or, more properly, to suspend the pay
ment Of that portion of the State taxes levidY TO
pay the interest upon the debt contracted for
public Improvements on the Western Shore,
until the claim of the Eastern Shore to the 1a-
expended balance Of the appropriation of one
million of dollars, made by the act of 1885, is
Acknowledged and paid.

Slavery in Delaware,

One of the Delaware papers has recently
come out with long and earnest edito-
rial in favor of the abolition of slavery in
that State. 1t institutes comparison be-
tween Newcastle and Sussex counties, the
former being practically free and the
latter a slave county. In the former i'm
proved land is worth over fifty-three dol
lars per acre, while in the latter similar
land is worth but seven to eight dollars
per acre. The following ease is cited as
showing how slavery repels population
"About three years ago band of three
hundred Swiss emigrants arrived in New
York, with all their arrangements made
to settle in Delaware. They were farmers,
with money to buy land; and hearing that
land was cheap in Delaware State set
tied by their fathers-they concluded to
settle here !; but finding, on their arrival,
that Delaware was slave State, they
passed Us by, settled in Ohio, and helped
to augme nt the wealth of that young giant
of the Union"
No one who glances over the progress
of Delaware, as shown by the census sta
tistics, can doubt that she will become a
free State before long. In 1890 she had
nearly 5000 slaves, and in 1850 but 2, 290
At the former date the slaves were 1904
per cent. of the whole population; at the
latter they constituted but ESQ per cent.
The decline during the sixty years was
quite gradual The plan of extinction
proposed by tho paper to which we have
alluded is to make all children born or
brought into the State after the next 4th
of July free at the ages of eighteen and
twenty-one years. This, it is thought,
will affect no individual STAKEHOLDER seri-
ously, while it will have al instant and
powerful influence on the general pros
perity of the State.-Bostol Journal.
