THE CANADIAN OFFICIALS.

IL canadian O1 E4C1AL6s
The Canadian officials had a protracted
interview last evening, with Secretary
MsCulloch, and to-day were before the
House Ways and Means Committee. They
desire, first that the time for the Reel
procity Treaty may be extended. In the
event that it cannot be accomplished, then
they want to establish such commercial
relations as will be most advantageous to
both Governments, and that until such re-
lations are established the present treaty
shall remain in force. 1t is not at all
likely that the Committee will consent to
any arrangement. Both the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Committee are will
ing to enter into negotiations with a view
OF arriving at some satisfactory and Just
basis for commercial intercourse that will
be mutually beneficial. Without reaching
any conclusion the matter was adjourned
until next meeting.

The cholera has made its appearance
-on-this sfdeof the Atlantic IN COED ear
Fest. It Is raging in Guadaloupe. an
island in the West Indian Archipelago,
the largest, except Trinidad, of the Lesser
Antilles, with a malignaney almost un-
paralleled in the history of the dreaded
disease. 1t made its first appearance on
the 92d Of October, having been brought
to the island by q ship from Marseilles. 1t
has since extended to Martinique, but to
one other Of the islands, as rigid quaran-
tine has been enforced among them. The
Bermuda Gazstte reports 375 deaths from
the 18th tothe 23d November, the num-
Der at Point-a-Pitre alone being las. A
letter dated at that town on the 10th
reckonsd the deaths at from 30 to IS a
day. The latest reports place the num-
Der Of deaths at Isl a day in population
Of 10000. At this rate the island would
be depopulated in four months. There
were not laborers enough to bury the
dead and the Government has called in the
military.
Assuredly, if the cholera comes nsxt
spring and catches us unprepared It will
not be for want Of plentiful warnings,
The dread disease has marched across the
eastern continent with rapid and inevi-
table strides and is divided from us-not
by thousands Of miles Of water and
ground-not by the broad Atlantic-bui
only by a few leagues of water over which
ply thousands of vessels, any n Of which
may bring the disease to our doors. The
coming of June is hardly more inevitable
thsn the arrival Of cholera. Let us b
ready to meet it and TO conquer 1t.

TROUBLE AMONG THE PRoFEssoRs.
There has been some trouble between
Prof villehulin, the well known French
teacher, and Prof Vigus, who has a
school on Linden street. II appears
that the latter endeavored to supplant
the former by trying to have Northern
friend engaged as French master at
one of the schools where Vilehufn
teaches. The parties met recently when
some harsh words ensued, and on Satur-
day Prof Vigus called with his two
sons at Prof Villehulin's boarding house
and slapped his face, while one of his
sons had hold of Villehulin's hands and
the other was ready to take part in the
ARRAY if necessary. Several friends in
terfered and stopped the affair, and
Prof Villehulin had Prof Vigus arrest
ed for an assault, which will be tried be-
fore Esquire Creighton.

MIscEGEYATIoN. "A rich case was be-
fore Commissioner Richards this morn
ing, man with white skin, answering
to the name of VIM. II. Jones, being
charged with committing a general
nuisance by living with negro woman
in a house occupied several negro
families on Monroe street extended
south of the Catholic Orphan Asylum.
Jones is a painter by trade, has been in
the Federal army, and has a certificate
to the effect that he has been legally
married to his chocolate colored
wife. The people living in the
neighborhood have been annoyed
for some time by the noise and
fighting that have taken place on Jones
premises, he being nearly always at war
with his colored room-mates, land when
not thus engaged, loves to play with his
wife in the yard, OF the front room, al
ways leaving the window open, so that
his nelghbors may see MS miscegenatlng
proclivities. He is represented as quite
loving husband, and when not at work,
or quarreling with his colored friends,
devotes his whole time to his wife,
amusing himself by rubbing his nose
against her broad, fat African pro-
bocis, and joining his lips to her
thick double barreled kissers in an
ecstatic enjoyment of bliss. Com
missioner Richards discharged Jones,
stating that the manner in which he lived
was very disgraceful, but be had not vio-
lated any city ordinance. The white
people living in the neiehborhood are
very much disguised with Jones and his
wife, and would be glad to see him return

The NICHOLSON PAVEMENT. AT one
time we thought, with many others, that
there was some probability of having
Main street paved by next fall, but our
hopes in that respect have departed, and
we must be content with the same
wretchedly muddy streets that we have
been blessed with for years The Mich
olson pavement is in chancery, and the
Lord knows when it will get out A few
days since the Board of Mayor and Al
dermen moved 10 dissolve the injunction
that had been obtained by Mr. II. Dow,
to prevent the city authorities from
paving Main street, but the motion was
overruled by the Judge.
