The SAN JUAN IMBRoGLIo.-Our 81. Louis ex-
changes give further particulars Of this affair:
The occupation Of the Island Of San Juan by the
American troops under Gen. Harvey Is regarded
by the British Colonial Government Of Vancouver
Island As violation Of treaty stipulation; and Gov
Douglas has published his protest in the matter, :,
assuming that Gem Harneyis acting on his own
personal authority, and not under instructions
pondent Of the VictoFia Gazette gives an account
Of the origin of the movement furnished by Paul
Hubbs u, u. deputycolector on the inland,
from which we gather the following:
Mr. Hubs has resided on the island I'm that Of
fetal capacity the last three years, during which
time he has made regular returns of all the i'm
ports and exports to and from the island to his
Government. During his residence on the island
there have been quite number Of murders CON-
United there and in the immediate vicinity and
the American residents the island deemed Il
proper for their safety to ask the protection of their
Government. Pending their action, the island
was visited by Gen. Harvey, the American COM
mander-in-chief Of the Pacific division, who, In
furtheranee Of orders of his Government, exam
ined the Island preparatory to making a perma-
nent location of portion of his command at that
point.
The most important event has been the recep-
ton by Capt Pickett Of an order from the Hud-
Island. Capt p. replied that while he did not
recognize their authority to make the demand, he
would state that he had received his orders from
the Z. 8. Government, and should occupy the
Pickett raised the American flag at Chapultepec
In the Mexican war is brave and cautious officer
and will go as far as duty and honor require.
The British steamer Of war Tribune had re-
NAMED In the harbOr since the commencement Of
''hostilities,' with her broadside commanding
the shore. The latest dispatch from the ''seat OF
war" states that the British steamer Plumper had
arrived with large number Of soldiers from New
Westminster. No troops were landed from her
and 1t was believed that meme would be. The U.
). revenue cutters jeff Davis and Massachusetts
had also arrived.
An extra session of the British Colonial Assem-
bly, had been called TO receive a message from
Governor Douglass In relation to san Juan affairs.
Ostensi bly,, the message was for the information
OF the House, and, according to the Colonist IL
was really to secure vote Of confidence in favor
If the Executive. Some iniammatory remarks
Were made regarding the invasion Of san Juan, of
which advantage was ken to secure the vote Of
confidence. This was objected to on the ground
that the subject was important that it required
time for consideration. The opposition to the vote
OF confidence triumphed, and the question was
postponed until the Sth ult, when 1t was to be
again made the subject Of consideration.

THEN AND Now.-The Louisville Journal. COM
menting upon the recently published magazine
article, from the pen of Senator Douglas. takes
occasion to contrast its leading position with that
OF the neverto-befo gotten Freeport speech Of the
same gentleman, as follows:
When MIR. Douglas, fresh from Freeport spoke
at Memphis about the LIST Of last December and at
New Orleans few days afterwards, he took the
ground that Southern lnen have right to take
their slaves to the Territories and to hold them
there as property during the Territorial condition
and that II would be great wrong for the people
To exclude slavery by nOn-legslation or unfriendly
legislation, but that il would be such wrong ia
there would be no power to remedy. At this time
however. Mr.. Douglas, if we understand him
rs the full and perfect right Of the people
OF the Territories to manage the whole question OF
slavery FOR Observation-Disclosures that il they
don want slavery, they not only have the power
to rule it out and keep it out, but may exercise
that power without g living just cause Of complaint
to Southern men or anybody else''
The Journals criticism is pertinent and correct
to the letter. Its comparison shows plainly enough
that Mr. Douglas, rs we have often taken occasio
to explain, is gradually climbing high enough up
on the abolition platform to be an available anti
slavery contestant for the favors Of the Republican
party voters in 1860.

WARRINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The SABBATH QUESTION Is Just now exercising
he populations Of New York, Philadelphia, and
81. Louis, amazingly. The authorizes Oh 'nose
cities are doing their best to incorporate In their
nunici pal laws the spirit of New Engis ruri~
tanism upon the subject Of the observance OF the
day large portion Of the people Of all three
cities being natives Of continental Europe, and
others who do not believe In the philosophy Of
tying up the roosters on Saturday nights 20 that
they may not gallant the hens on Sundays, are
vigorously resisting the efforts of the authorities.
In Philadelphia, where there are far more artzans
and other mechanical laborers in proportion to the
population than in any other great American city,
the question in issue H. Shall such as wish to ride
on theghorse railroads on Sundays to mel hboring
rural retreats be permitted % to do, In St. Louis,
the struggle Is over closing the lager bier saloons
I While we sympathize with those who are for
giving the laborng population of Philadelphia all
they can ask in the way Of facilities for getting
out Of the heated city-for recreaton--on Sundays,
we have little sympathy with the cause Of the st.
Louis lager bier saloons, because believing too
many Of them to be conducted AZ hundreds If not
thousands in New York are, where most Of them
are the most shameless and dangerous dens Of vice
conceivable.
Yet we are no believer In the propriety Of mu-
ncpal legislation to interfere with innocent pop
ular recreation on Sundays. Three-fourths Of the
American world are without any other time what
ever for recreation, and II not permitted, and
indeed encouraged to enjoy innocent recreation
when they can, the idle day in the week of
large proportion Of them will be day for in
dulging in vice and excess secretly. 1t is the
duty Of the municipal authorities to take due care
that the places open for Sunday recreation are
properly conducted. There their real duty ends
Glasgow, In Scotland, is the city where by force
OF municip pal regulation Sunday is more strictly
observed than anywhere else In the world. Yet
in Glasgow the proportion Of drunkards in the
population Is greater than anywhere else in the
world; while its statistics also prove that there
vice Of all kinds is more rife than in any other
city In the world. So, nothing whatever is gained
by its ordinance requiring even little children to
be taken up" il found walking in the streets

mentions the fact that the statistics show that i'm

every 6,oUO Of the population; while in Massachu-

be recollected, well nigh strictly as Glasgow
does; while in France the laboring people spend
Sunday afternoon and evening as they please, SO
long as they violate no law made for their govern
ment during the rest Of the week.
