The CHINESE TRRArY.-Mr.- Reed. our

THE CHINESE TREATY.-Mr Reed, our
late Minister to China, made a speech to the
citizens of Philadelphia on the 3lst ult., in
which he explained his official course in the
negotiating the Chinese treaty:
After stating the earnest effort made by
the Russian Ambassador and himself to in
duce the Chinese to yield TO the demands OF
the English and French to avert bloodshed,
he declared the assertion that there was be-
tween the Russian Minister and himself a
combination for the object Of frustrating
the policy of England or France was fab
rication, pure and absolute. He acknOw-
lodged that as neutralS, and excluded from
the councils, there sprHng up intimate con-
fidental relations with the Russian Minis
ter, ripening into cordial friendship, but
never prostititcd to the unworthy cabals
attributed to them. lie stated that while
there was no reserve on his part towards
the belligercnt powers, notice hafing been
given them of every step taken I'M ncgOta-
tions; on the other hand this was not re-
ciprOcatcd, the suspicion Of Russian pro-
clivity keeping secret any knowledge OF the
course pursued in the negotiations. He did
not doubt that if he had been content to
place himself silently and insigniicantly be
side Lord Elgia. he would have aided in
securing a treaty for the United States
identical with the one obtained for England.
\ regard for the dignity of his country pre-
Guided such a course and separate ncgolia-
tons went on with the Chinese commits
siOners and n treaty was signed on the 18th
Of June.
One reason for signing The treaty in al
vance was, that there was every reason G."
fear a renewal of hosliiiticS between Tie be-
ligerents, aud of the Chinese causing an IN
definite p0Stponcmcnt of the English and
French treaties He rehcarsed the ailVan-
tages obtained by the treaty, which tinclud-
ing the most favored national clauscl, ST.
cures everything at any time granted TO 9th
er nations; and proieSscd himself not
ashamed of treaty approved by China and
America, attained, rs it was, in peace and
iriendlnesS, without q wound or Unkind
thought. In abiding To The Chinese tariff,
lie said that American cotton goods are To
bc imported at lower rate than . per cent,
ad valorem, the scale adopted in the English
treaty; and if the great feature of that
treaty, the regulation of interior transit du-
ties, he successful, there is every prospect of
large increase Of the consumption of
American fabrics, especially in Northern
China.
lie referred, with deep sense of graft
tude, 10 the aid and countcnancc received
from the Russian officials, and with n prop
CIR sense of the obligation To the coercion
used 10y the belligerents expressing the
strong belief that they did no more iustirc
10 American integrity and faith, than the
distinguished hOblemcn representing Eng
| land and France. I'm all his intercourse
! with Lord Elgin, there WAS no difference OF
opinion, or the least trace OF personal un-
kindness. They parted in November last,
us they met II year before, on termsof mu;u-
al kindness and respect.

Mexican Affairs.

The latest adyices from Mexico are of an
extraordinary character, and afford no sat-
isfactory clue to the turn the civil war in
that country may take, nor to the condition
in which it may leave public affairs when
over. Notwithstanding the fact that the
Constituencies are in possession of the
seaports and the greater part of the coun-
try, they do not avail themselves of this
great advantage to take firm course and
strike n succession of decisive blows, rs it
seems they could and should do. They are
probably either paralysed for want of means,
or Overawed by the menacing aspect of
France and England, rs shown by the con-
duct of Ministers Gabriac and Otway; Mi
ramon either despairing of the success of
the Reactionary cause in the natural way, or
maddened by plot to depOse him from the
Presidency and the command of the army,
has issued decree replacing Gen. Santa
Anna upon the army list us General of di-
vision, restoring him to his former titles,
honors and estates, aud inviting him to re-
turn TO Mexico as soon as possible. To ia
cilitate his return and Insure his safe en-
trance into the country, in is proposed to cap
ture seaport--say Tampico-a job which
if attempted, may cost the Reactionists more
than the one legged warrior would lie worth
to them.
Gen. WheaI, and several other American
Adventures, who had been to Mexico TO
offer their services to the Liberal party, re-
turned to New Orleans by the last steamer.
Jaurez, the Liberal President, said to them
very candidly, that with n class of Mexi-
cans n prejudice exists against Americans,
and strong opposition TO their interference
in the affairs of the country, and that he
could not afford to incur the displeaSure of
this class for the sake of few American
recruits. He would, however, gladly re-
ceive large body of efficient men, and
would thankfully accept whatever pecuui-
airy aid they might offer.

Extraordinary story about the Dau-
phip of France, Louis AE1i--Did
lie Die I'M the Temple or Not!
There are stranger things than fiction,
even in modern times, but people will hard
ly be prepared for the startling announce
ment which was asserted 1t a coroner's in
quiry held yesterday, before Mr.. Wakely
Coroner for West Middlex, that the Dauphin
of France, the unfortunate son Of Louis
XVI, did not, as history states die " on the
9th of June, 1895, in the prison of the tenn
Die, after n miserable confinement OF three
years" but that he expired in a London
street cab, but a few days since, and that
the deceased, upon whom the inquest was
being held, was no other than the Dauphu,
Louis XVII, of France. Such was the
marvellous story made public yesterday at
an inquest held at the Lord Wellington,
University street, npOn person who, under
the name oil Augustus MeneS has for some
years past, resided with his family at 80,
University street, TOttcnham court road,
where he followed the avocation OF pro-
fessor of music.
IL appeared that the deceased, who was
in his seycnty-ffth year, was suddenly
taken i'll, when near his own residence, and
as medical assistance coald not be immc-
diatcly procured he was conveyed, without
delay, I'M cab, 10 the University College
Hospital close by, bat hc was dead before
arriving ut that institution, the cause of his
death being, as the pos. mortem eXamina-
ton distinctly proved, disease of the heart.
The jury returned 4 verdict accordingly, and

Terminated hut, upon inquiring further
into the peculiar statements that had been
made 10y the deccased's family, and minors
thIt have got about in the nei@hborl.OOd
causing no little excitement, it seems that
the deceascd's conversation for the last 80
years, when he first made his family ac-
quainted with the strange story, has been to
the elect, that hc was the Dauphin who
was supposed 20 have died in the temple.

had certain marks on his person which the

whole fitcls connected with his marvellous
history. -

DSF The Louisville Courier makes al
appeal to the Democracy of Kentucky, that
in itself is ominous of defeat. ID says:
" 1t is not to be disguised, that in several
Congressional Districts the Democracy are
divided among themselves, with scarcely
any hope, whatever, of the harmonious adj
iustment of their differences. In the First
District there are two Democratic candidates

It complains bitterly at this want OF
unanin,ity, and yet the Courier is mainly
instrumental in termenting these divisions.
A paper that is so inconsistent AS to advo-
cate one set of political doctrines aud
support candidates opposed to them, in
optosition to one in favor of them, ought
not TO make much fuss about harmony. II is
hard telling which is the most intense, the

Communicated.


The author of the article which appeared
in Thursdays Journal in regard to the pic
mic of last Sunday, was actuated by no other
motive than to see himself and friends right
ed in the eyes of an intelligent community,
in reference to the Enquirers charge of our
having trifed with the feelings of others by
Decorating the resting place of their be-
loved ones.
As Mr.. Whittlesey persists, in Thursdays
Enquirer in replying to said article, in re-
peating his charge, we, the undersigned,
pledge our words of honor, that we were not
aware of the ground being grave yard;
the grave yard, as the writer of this has
learned since, being fenced in, in the rear of
the open place where we first intended 20
locate our excursion. Exactly one year ago
we were on the spot for the same purpose,
unobserved by anybody, and not knowing
anything of its transformation, AIMED 20 80
there again. There were not more than six
or eight persons on the ground that Mr..
Whttlesey takes SO much pains about. Sew
eral buggies driving up, Mr.. Hopkins
demonstrated with the few of our party, who
all left with the greatest readiness for n
place belonging To Mr.. Frahnsicober, one of
our party where the picnic was actually
held
Eh..n Ii.I A lief
church-yard and Oak Hill Cemetery is en-
tirely uncalled for and no doubt intended
for making capital in the c0untry We claim
that we intended TO locate ourselves on a
place, which we left readily and willingly,
as soon rs we learned the character thereof.
As to the regard to the customs of the
land, we beg leave TO state that we don't
recognize the supremacy of custom over
law and conceived rights. We were brought
up to customs, too, of which one will find
difference in every country, and us proper
regard as we owe to the customs and mode
of thinking of others, that regard is not
strong enough to make us give up those
ideas of right and propriety which we are
accustomed to from infancy
| As to Mr.. Whittlesey mixing the Journd!
into this affair, we think he does injustice
to that paper, rs We consider it the duty of
any journal to open its space to anybody for
defending himself against the attacks of
others, providing it is done in chaste and
gentlemanly language.
This will end the controversy on our part.

The foregoing statement shows the increase of the
value of taxable real estate in the county for the
past eight years.
1t will be observed that over thrse-fourths
of the aggregate increase has been in this
township. Our readers will be surprised Mt
the returns from German township, town
ship of good lands which exhibits an adj
vance-with all its new improvements--oi
only about fifteen hundred dollars. There
must be something wrong in the present as
sessment of that township, unless It was
most exorbitantly rated in 1851. We
think there would be grand speculation IN
the purchase of that township at the value
the assessor has placed upon its taxables.
Mr.. Hardin, we believe, has been most
assiduous and faithful and honest in the dis
charge of his duties, but his Deputy, who
listed German township, had too poor an
opinion of its soil, or he is a speculator, and
has some designs of buying it out. We
commend the tax list of that township to the
especial attention of the Board Of County
Commissioners If they have the power, a
revision ought to be instituted before it is
confirmed.
From the returns of other counties in the
different sections of the State, there is no
doubt but the increase in taxable value OF
the land and its improvements through the
State, in eight years, will exceed 10 pei
cent. This is an advance on real estate I'M
paralleled in the history of any State, I'M
less it finds parallel in the growth of ILL.,
