The Philadelphia election {

Treasurer by 1920 maj, G. NJ. Neal,
Commissioner by 1865. The aggregate
vote was about $4,000, falling off of
$4,000 since the mayors election. A

"A new Boundary Question has
sprung up between this country and the
British Government. 1t refers to where
our northern boundary meets the Pacific
Ocean, and the point in dispute is
whether twenty or more small islands,
with an area of some three hundred square
miles, lying between Vancouvcr's Island
and the main land Of our territory, be-
long to this Government OR the British.
The islands, since the discovery of the
Fraser river gold mines, have become
important, and the question is said to
be at the present a subject of direct ne
gotiation between the two governments.
--Rumors of war still come from
Europe with every arriving steamer
The Niagara reached Halifax on Thurs
day, with English dates to the 23rd
ult., four days later. She brings the
announcement that declaration Of war
by Austria is daily expected. The
French Government and the people seem
not to be adverse to a war, and were
it not fol- the great scarcity of funds it
might be considered sure to come. The
following, however, is given in the
Baltimore Sun, as the latest -

France on the question of general disarma-

gland asked for an immediate answer on this
poln., and France plead that it could not
exercise Its influence with Sardinil TO enforce
its compliance. Austria then declared that if
an answer were not got in given time, she
would consider it equivalent to a declaration
Of war, and would act instantly, and her
troops would probably be at Turin in ten days.
The French government then said that the
terrible responsibility for general war would
fall upon them alone. 1t was felt that Rus
STA could not be relied on, and that France
would not have the sympathy of any govern
ment except Piedmont. The French govern
ment is now supposed to have given way, and

May has brought to us in her train
all the loneliness and beauty of Spring. The
past week has been warm with the pleasantcst
sunshine, and fragrant with the odor Of flowers;
balmy and dalliant breezes have played in from
the southwest, and the foliage of the woods
already hides the birds which are making
them vocal with song.

VINO WAS He About dusk on
Tuesday evening a mysterious looking in
divid1al passed through our streets, wheeling
one Of those little machines or vehicles used
sometimes by surveyors and road makers for
measuring distances. He was youthful in APP
pearance, and attracted some attention as he
ever and anon stopped on his journey, took
"sight' through the compass attached to
his machine, scanned the houses on either
side of the street, made Il few singular pencil
marks in small book he carried in his hand,
and then rolled on his " barrow'' His
whole attention appeared to be engrossed by
his labors and as no one in the curious gro ups
that gathered about him asked him whence
he came, whence he went, OF what he did, he
passed on, and disappeared as mystcriously
as he arrived, leaving us all in ignorance as
to his mission. Who was he !?

ScOund reilly.

Many of the emigrants who started for
the gold mines, and turned back, at Elm
and Salt Creeks, are daily coming into
town with pockets full of counter felt mon
ey. They have good offers for their teams
and outfits, accept the offers, are paid, but
when they get into town their pile turns
out base counterfeit.
This money was on the plains before the
emigrants turned back, and it looks as
though it was scheme gotten up and car
ried through by the basest scoundrels, to
turn back the tide Of emigrants, and then
Suy all the teams and outfits they could for
worse than worthless rags. Cannot some
means be devised by which these rascals
can be caught spirit ctthe VEST " c.

Oar German Fellow Citizens.

The German citizens If the United
States thriving, intelligent and honest
element Of our population are beginning
to get their eyes open to the fact that it is
no longer possible for them to affiliate with
the Republican party. Those who from
mistaken views Of the policy Of the Repub'
Leans have been deceived from that natu-
raj love for Democracy, which was dicta-
Ted BY that inbred desire Of freedom which
Ought them and their ancestors to Amer.
lea, now perceive that an Inherent dogma
Of Republicauism is prescription Of all for.
eigners. The Know Nothing element of
Republication has been, for . time, con-
csaled from their view, but it exists strong
and proscriptive as ever.
On Monday last, the Republicans of
Massachusetts,, by majority of over six
thousand votes, adopted an amendment
to the Constitution Of that State, which
forbids any person Of foreign birth from
voting or being eligible to office, unless
be shall have resided within the jurisdic-
ton of the Uni'ed States, for two years
subsequent to his naturalization. Massa-
chusetts is q Republican State. Know
Nothingism has triumphed there, and q
gross outrage has been committed upon a
class Of citizens, equal in all respects to
those who would disfranchise them, ex-
cept in the accident of birth. The Ger
mans of the North western States earnest
ly protested against this outrage. The
politicians of the Republican party feared
that this action of Massachusetts, would
open the eyes Of the German Republicans
ard that they would return to the Demo.
cratic party. But, Know Nothingism,
with its hatred towards citizens of foreign
birth, is the strongest element in the
Republican party; and the State which
boasts of her Lexington, Concord. Bun
ker Hill, and her "Cradle of Liberty"
has said that foreigner within her Dor
ders, may be qualified to vote and hold
Office, yet be excluded from the privilege
in liberty loving Massachusetts. The ne
gro there, is more freeman than the
German. He can vote. The citizen Of
foreign birth is excluded from this privi-
lege.
But these men who are thus disfran>
chised by the Republican party are not
fools. They have intelligence, edu cation,
a strong lo<e of liberty and just appre
citation of their rights as men. Hereaf.
ter, the Germans of the country will not
lend their aid to support party which
deceives, cheats and defranchises them.-
The proscriptive Know Nothing elements
in the Republican party, will drive away
from it, every citizen Of foreign birth. 1t
is only of recent date that any other par
ty than the Democratic, has acknowledged
in political matters, the existence of the
foreign citizens, except to treat him with
opprobrium, and the experience which
the German Republicans have had Of
Know Nothing hospitality, has sickened
them from any farther attempts to act
with party which is willing to use them
but refuses to acknowledge their rights
as men and citizens.-P iNsJurg Post
