| ken and acts committed In the United states,
rests on a total misconception of the facts of
| the case. These prisoners were convicted OF
treason and felony at the Commission of the
Court for the county term held IN October
last. The most prominent overt act proved
! against them being that they had come over
| 20 Ireland and cruised along the coast with
the intent to effect a landing of men and arms
in ireland, and in order to raise an lnsurrec-
ton against the Queen. The evidence ad-
duced against these prisoners concerning acts
done and words spoken by them IN the
United States was given IN strict accordance
with the rules of war, as part OF she testl-
mony connecting them with the FenIan con-
spiracy which had existed in the county of
Dublin, in which county the court sat.
| New York, September 2.-The Post has
letter from Syria, saying that the Turks had
| committed another act of vandalism, by hay-
ing destroyed all the live trees, heavy with
crop, which promised to sustain the half
| starved CTetans. The Turkish commander Is
! sued an order to the heads of families to
bring back to Crete all the refugees, under
the penalty of confscation of their lands and
/ effects.
! There is apparently 10 truth in the state
ment that the dry goods merchants have
/ generally agreed not to sell goods TO South
erners except for cash.
Since the organization of the Board of
Auditors, in April, '67, there have been claims

London, Sept. 2.-The Times devotes a
leading column to a long analysis of the
treaty recently concluded by the United States
with the Emperor of China. The Times says
that England is more interested in China than
any other power Her commerce with that
country Is larger, and since the treaty at Pc
kin, her relations with its government have
been more friendly. She assisted the Imperial
authorities IN putting down the rebellion, and
England Is the proper power for China to en-
ploy as a medium for revising her treaties
with other countries; but this treaty with the
United States, aiming to restore the old ex-
elusive policy, has been rightly intrusted 10
the manipulation of foreign cOunselloTs, who
advise what is impossible-the restoration of
the retIograde system The writer then pro-
ceeds to diSsect, one by one, the articles of
the new treaty. He calls attention To the
fact that China obtains no concession from
the United States; but that, on the other
hand, the latter gains n monopoly of railway
and telegraph improvements. This, of itself,
IS a sufficient objection To the treaty; yet the
question may be asked, Is it wise for England
to multiply her differences with America on
such grounds as these He concludes as fol-
lows ''We are bound TO say, with the con-
viction that there is more underneath these
negotiations than appears on their surface
that they bear distinct traces of foreign in
spiration, and il is our belief that this mission
did not originate with the Chinese Govern |
r.
as a recruit for furthering Chinese ends is so |
far from being a spontaneous emanation from |
foreign brains, that it was suggested by the /
departure from China of the American Min |
lister, which was drawing near at the time the /
plan was formed
London, Sept. 3d.-The Pail Mall Gazette |
discusses the Chinese treaty with the United |
Stotes. The writer says the treaty looks as If /
the foreign merchants residing in China, on |
the one side of the Chinese nation, with Mr..
Burliugame on the other, were trying to neu-
trallze each others statements. Here in
England we are not to be taken by storm. A /
liberal interchange of opinion between the
Embassy and the representatives of the En-
glish Government will demonstrate that
changes in the positions of Great Britain and
China are demanded by the times, and will
benefit both
London, September 3.-The Standard, in an
editorial on the American treaty with China,
says, ave can't share the Jealous suspicion
with which the London Times regards this
treaty. In it we see nothing which shows
that the United States has acquired n mo-
nopoly of privileges, nor does the treaty give
any evidence that China is fostering itself OF
the rock of sloth and stagnatiOn, but that on
the contrary, il gives proof that the Chinese
are preparing for advance by the opening
of the windows in the great wall which sepa-
rates the Celestial Empire from western civili-
ration.

Specials to a morning paper say, that Sec
retaTy McCulloch has nnounced his purpose
70 support Seymour and Blair. He expresses ,
his regrets at being forced into this position,
and denounces the financial plank of the
platform. He says that the only objectiona-
bic plank in the Republican platform is that
in relation to reconstruction, but that this Is
paramount to everything else; he therefore
unites with the Democratic party, preferring
its ruinous financial policy to the reconstruc-
tion policy of the Republicans.
