THE Canadian people have learned BY
this time that curses, like chickens, come
home to roost. They winked at organ
lied attempts of rebels to invade our
frontier, murder unarmed men and rod
banks, hut when an armed force lands
on their shores and seeks battle wlth
soldiers, they profess great horror at the
breach of neutrality. One Of these grum-
blers. the Toronto Globe, says, in all the
majesty of double-lead:
1--WE confess our utter astonishment
At the placid manner in which the Am
er;can Government continues to look on
while our province is being invaded,
openly, defantly of their authority, oy
American citizens from American soil
The pretext that no overt act has been
committed to justify interference can nc
longer avail and the American Govern
ment will stand convinced before tne
world of countensncing this wanton St
tack of their own citizens on frienal.
and peaceful people, with whom not
shadow of quarrel exists.

THE WOUNDED IN WAR.-The break
ing out of war upon the European con-
tinent brings into view treaty which
was made in 1864, by England, France,
Prussia, Saxony, Sweden, Baden, Hesse,
Belgium, Italy, Holland, Wurtemberg,
Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland
and the United States, in reference to
the treatment of the wounded in any
war that might thereafter break out be-
tween those powers. The object of this
convention was to secure the neutrality
of hospitals, ambulances, and protection
to the wounded. The idea was broached
in Geneva, in 1868, and it had its origin
in facts arising in the experience OF the
sanitary and Christian commissions IL
this country. 1t is represented that th'
stipulations of the treaty go 30 far as Y
insure protection to any house in which
a wounded soldier may be lying. Un
fortunately for the application Of thi
benevolent understanding, Austria an
Russia did not sign the treaty. Thes
powers are not bound by it, and probs
bly, the first will not observe it. Prussi'
Italy, Saxony, Wurtemberg, Baden an
Hesse would be bound to fulfill it, if tn
agreement should be respected on th
other side; but unless Austria agree
voluntarily to insure the neutrality
hospitals and ambulances, and to col
slider surgeons as non-combatants, it Cal
not be expected that the adverse powe
will do SO: Nevertheless, the agreemel
itself, ratified as it has been, will rema
to become potent in future wars, and
. the principle is just and human, it mui
before many years, become Q rule go
erning all civilized nations in warfare.

Enormous Expense Entailed by the
Proposed Mining Law.

Senator Williams, of Oregon, discussing
the Mining Bill in the U, S. Senate, on
June 18th, said: .-.......
| suppose sir, that this bill has in view
two objects one is to promote the inte-
it's revenue; and the other is to protect
the interests and rights of miners. find
that this bill, like all others that have
seen on the subject, contemplates the
extension of the surveys of the United
States to all that portion of the country
where minerals are found, including the
barren, extensive plains, and the ragged
and PERCEPTIONS mountains upon the Pa
cifc coast. | find a provision in the
fourth section of the bill, to the effect
that certain things may take place or be
lawful 'after the extension thereto" that
is to the mining districts, "of the public
surveys ;" and in other parts Of tha, fi}a biim
there is an assumptlor, that the PuDe
surveys are to be extended to all Palts
Of this miRipge eG2gntGyt t. tne Mh2 United States
of an undertaking to survey this vast re-
gion of country? will not undertake it
and suppose nobody will venture to es-
innate the amount of that expense. If
anybody could approximate to the sum
it would be found 10 be enormous, and
frightful in the burdens it would impose
upon the Treasury of the United States
This bill contemplates that each one
of these claims is to be surveyed by the
Surveyor-General appointed by the Gov
ernment, and paid either by the claimant
or by the Government; and ! am not able
to wholly determine from the terms ot
this bill, upon whom such expenses are
to deyolve ; for in addition to the ordi
nary surveys it is provided that ''the
Surveyor-General shall receive for sucl
service"-that is, for surveying eacf
one of these claims-"such compensation
as is allowed by law, with mileage no
to exceed at legal rates the amount char
geable from the county seat of the count,
in which the claim may be situated Il
the said claim" Is it wise for the Gov
ernment to engage in scheme that will
be attended with such enormous expense
when you take into consideration tn
amounts that must be expended in tn
establishment of these numerous Ian,
districts, in the surveys of this vast ant
broken country, and in the other exper
ses that are incidental to the issuing c
patents, | think it is worse than folly fo
the Government to undertake any sy'
tenn of this kind with view of increai
ing it's income, for instead of addin
anything to the revenues of the Cover
ment, it will only impose new and grieN
Gus burdens upon it.

THE ACT DIsFRANCHIsING DESERT
ERs.-The telegraph announces that
Governor Curtin, on Monday, signed the
bill passed by unanimous vote of the
Republican members of the State Legis-
lature of both Houses, last March, pro-
yidino for fha hi sf-a n el, isa,., ,r-<t
ment for deserters from the military and
naval service, affixed, among other pen-
alties, the loss of the right of citizenship
including the elective franchise, and the
right to hold office, and it included in
| it's category of deserters those who, be-
| ing drafted or enrolled, failed to report
or absconded from their proper districts.
This law was in operation at the last
general election, but it was not rigidly
enforced in every district, and doubts OF
it's constitutionality having been ex-
pressed by the copperheads (who are
deeply interested in the question, mas,
much as it is estimated that the number
of deserters in Pennsylvania is thirty
thousand, nearly all of whom belong to
the Democratic party, test case was
carried up from Franklin county to the
Supreme Court. After the passage Of
the new law, the Judges were requested
by Attorney General Meredith to an
nounce their decision on the act of Con
gress as speedily as possible, SO that tim
