The English papers claim a right to Davi.
gate the Mississippi which they say accession
cannot abrogate. Bv the treaty Of Paris,
signed on the Both November, 1882, it was
stipulated that "the navigation Of the Mics
isslppi, from its source TO tho ocean, ehall
forever remsin free and open to the subjects
OF Great Britain and the citiSens Of the Uni
ted States.
The above paragraph is travelling the
rounds OF the papers without comment. 1t
IL possible that some English papers, know
ing little Of British affairs, and less Of Amer.
lean, may have made such claim, but il ia
strange that it should have been repubhshed
in the United States without contradiction.
The question Of the navigation Of the
Mississippi WAS "agita,ed" for . half Gen.
tury or so, by the great Powers Of Europe
who held possessions on its banks, but upon
the purchase OF Louisiana by the United
States, the matter remained no longer an
open question, for tha entire length Of its
navigahlc course is within the limits ard IN.
der the exclusive control OF the United States.
After that period the right was not exercised
by Great Britain, and was formally aban-
doned by the Treaty OF Ghent in 1914, which
omitted the stipulation on the subject con.
tanned 10 the treaty OF 1853.
CT Gov. Seward has certainly said good
many clever things in the course Of his pub
lilo life. Take, for instance, the following
gem out Of bis speech ut Chicago on the "a
Of last October:
The battle 10 ended, and the victory 10 ours.
Why, then, say they, Why not withdrAw from
the heltY For the simple reason that IL the
victor retire from the field, the vsnQuis he'd
will then come back, and the battle will not
be won. Why should tho victor withdraw
and surrender all his conquests 70 the oon-
quersd enemy? Why should he place the
enemy back upon the field, and withdraw his
legions into the far distance, TO give him a
chance TO re-establish the line that has been
broken up? The Republican party will now
complete this great revolution.

THE RECEPTION SUPER.

The LOYAL citizens of Junction City ten
dered Company b a supper on the evening
of Friday last, which was well attended,
A dance was also given in connection with
the supper To say that the affair was

language inadequate to what the occasion
deserves. Junction City never before did
half SO well. Both Wilson's and Taylors
Halls were engagcd-one for ball room,

Itwould occupy too much space to par'icu-

abundance. 1t is estimated that about one
hundred comprised the whole number in
attendance.
After dancing until twelve o'clock, the
company adjourned from Wilson's Hall to
Tay!or's, where the sumptuous repast was
provided Just for the sake of having the
matter on an enduring record, We will state
that the footprin's-stop! we don't mean
that; we mean the handiwork-that's it
