lease.

DEPARTMENT or STATE, WASHINGTON
/ JuIv 26. l8G6.-T0 the President 1.-THE Sec
retary Of State, 10 whom was referred two
resolutions Of the House Of Representatives
passed on the I'd Of July, inst, in the fol-
lowing words, respectively;
Resolued. That the House Of Representa-
tiyes respectfully request the President Of
| the United States to urge upon the Canadian
authorities, and also the British Govern
ment, the release Of the Fenian prisoners
recently captured in Canada.
Resolued. That the House respectfully re-
quests the President to cause the pTosecu-
tions instituted in the United States Courts
against the Fenians to be discontinued il
compatible with the public interests.
Has the honor to report in regard to the
first resolution that the Government of the
United States has no correspondence directly
upon any subject with the Canadian aIIthOri-
ties, mentioned in said resolution, or with
the authorities Of any colony, province or
dependency Of any other sovereign State I;
and Chat on the contrary all its corrsspOn-
dence concerning questions which arise in or
affect or relate to such colonies, provinces or
dependencies, is always conducted exclusive
ly with such foreign Governments.
On the llth of June last note was ad-
dressed by this department to Hon. Sir
FREDERICK w. A BRUCE, Her Majesty's
Minister Rlenipotentiary residing in the
United States, Of which a copy is hereunto
annexed. 1t is proper to say, in relation to
that note-frst, that the reports mentioned
therein, to the effect that prisoners had been
taken on the soil ofthe United States and
conveyed to Canada and threatened by Ca
madam agents with immediate execution
without legal trial, were found on examina-
tion 10 be untrue, and without foundation in
fact 1t is due to the British Government
10 say, in the second place, that the repre-
sentations made in the same note have been
received and taken into consideration by
the British Government and by the Canadian
authorities in a friendly manner.
The resolution Of the House Of Represen-
tatives first recited, harmonizing as it does
with the spirit Of the aforesaid note, will be
brought 20 the attention Of Her Maiesty's
Government and Of the Canadian authorities,
with the expression Of a belief on the part of
the President that affairs upon the frontier
have happily come to a condition in which
the clemency requested by Congress may be
extended without danger to the public peace,
and with advantage TO the interests of peace
and harmony between the two nations.
/ have already received your directions,
that the second Of said resolutions be taken
into consideration by the proper Depart
ments Of the Government, with desire that
it may be found practicable to reconcile the
humane policy recommended, with the
maintenance Of law and order, the safety of
the public peace, and the good faith and
honor Of the United States.
Respectfully submitted.

we will not insult you by supposing that
you never were.. you can have but faint
idea of the ignorance and superstition that
prevails among them. We do not for q
moment presume that any person will be
found to question the ssgscity of the
above remark, and We are equally Ger.
tain no one can be found who will be
able TO detect any connection between it
and the incident we are about to relate.
But to our story:
"Once upon a time," IS the story
books have it-snd the time herein refer-
ed to was buta few days removed from
the present-an antideluvisn negro. who,
like poor old "Uncle Ned"
"Had no wool on the top of his head, .
The place where the wool ought to grow"
and who has . local habitation and Q
name within less than Q score of miles
from this city. was suspected of stealing
some articles of wearing apparel from an
old crone who lives in the same vicinity.
The neighbors-none too intelligent.
perhaps. and with deep rooted prejudice
against his race-attemp pied to make him
confess the theft, but be persisted in
stoutly denying it. ca sr
Finally, -they resorted to extreme
measures to Torce him into confession,
actually suspending him in mid-sir from
the limb Of tree, taking care, however,
to let him down before life was extinct.
Failing to extort confession from him
10 this msnnsr, they displayed degree
Of ignorance and superstition unworthy
any white men Of the nineteenth century,
BY consulting an equally ignorant "for.
tune tellsr," Who. perhaps to allsy the
excitement. and 10 mercy to the poor
negro. told them he was innocent. This,
not being in accordance with their ex.
pectations and Inherent prejudices. was
deemed unsatisfactory, but the gullible
negro becameperfecty ecstatic when the
"glad tidings" reached bis ears. and he
made immediate application to the for
tune teller for certificate Of his limo.
cencs, 6rmly believing that such docu-
ment would vindicste bis character before
the whole world. Failing in this. be
made application to some official here for
protection from his prosecutors. So the
matter stands st present, but we do not
presume the negro will again Be subject
to the hanging system. And % It j. not

n Bloody ARRAY. = On last Friday
evening. at about 7 P. NJ, the quiet Of
our village was disturbed BY . negro row.
It appears that two of the negroes had
some difficulty in the afternoon. ct one Of
the saloons. but that trouble apparently
died away; and in the evening these two
persons. Jack Wright. and Sandy
Shackeiford. in company with Manson
Duncan. got into regular ''set TO-" in
which knives were freely used; aud before
the expiration of which Sandy was horri-
bly, cut up. he having received ono cash
in his neck, one in his arm, and FIVE in
his side nad back. none of which we be-
lievo will provo fatal; and the other men
received only slight injuries. If any at all.
We were pleased by the promptness
with which these gents. (excepting the
one who was Aors de eons5at). were taken
into custody BY the proper officers; and
on Saturday morning taken before Justice
Taylor, who. after hearing the witnesses,
bound Wright and Doncan over. unde'
bonds of 5000 each, to await their trial
W., understand they both got bail.
We are not slone in thinking this
drunken rowdyism has gone far enough
and we hope this last muss will wax
oor citizsus op. 80 that such riots as tba
of last Friday will Immediately come t.
q stop; for. if permitted to be carried on
our city will get . bad name. both q

instead of taking advantage Of this favor
to secure his own re- ELECTION, he fritteret
