1t was resolved to officially telegraph

ton is in session, and also Colonel Sprague,
commanding the district of Florida, and
invite him to seat on the floor.
The President was authorized to appoint
clerks of the Convention. Governor Wal
ker and the other State officers were inyi-
ted to seats on the floor.
An ordinance for "relief," prohibiting
the sale of any property on executions for
the collecting of taxes, and to release all
persons now imprisoned for the non-pay-
ment of taxes, was passed.
To-day no business of Importance was

CONVICTION OF WHALEN.-ihe 'r'ai u
WgA1gS at Ottowa. Canada, for the muruef
Of McGgE, has resulted in his convlction'
IJnon the testimony, save that given in by
two detectives who eaves-dropped the PR
soner his immediate connection with the
murder was not established. 1t was proved
that he was exceedingly bitter in his hate TO-
ards MCGEE, and frequently threatened ms
life and that he once went to McGEE's house
for the avowed purpose Of shooting MIN
The eaves-droppers testified that "HALES'
IN a conversation in his prison with DoYLs'
~ uos mt in the room with him, and who
10 indicted as accessory, stated that he had
a,o+ McGEE. WHALEN no doubt committed
the murder, but the trick of putting DOYLE
into the room with him, and then statlonlng
two creeping, stocking-shod detectives 10
bear what they said to each other, was @
disorace to the authorities who prosecuted
Wu.1ES. It was trick abhorrent to all
decent people. Those who suggested it, or
nermitted it to be carried out, could hardly
be trusted with any matter requiring the
qualities of integrity and honor. The af-
fair is disgrace to the provincial govern
ment.

HAYTI.-The last news from this ragged
nation places SALNAyE on the vantage
ground, and suggests that the cake of the
Cacos" must look very much like dough
The Lizards " will steal the cake if SAL
NAVE finally triumphs, and bask in the
sunshine of the Government till another
revolution drives them to their holes. A
great Government it is, after fifty years o.
trial, that the negroes have made in Hayti
having declined in every phase of civiliza,
ton since they took it in hand well ordered
and maintained, until the nation is now
divided into two parties, whose ambition
has led to the adoption of the names " Ca
cos or parrots, and Lizards" to dis
tinguish them from each other. After q
long war, remarkable for the cruelty meted
out to prisoners, and utterly contemplate
for any display of q warlike character, one
of them is, it appears, about to triumph. IL
turn, it will have soon to follow the prece,
ding dominating factions and give way te
another squalid revolution.

The CATTLE PLAGUE.-The plague has
been nearly abated but its nature is still
subject of discussion. Professor GAMGEE,
of Chicago, who has been quite prominent
in what he has had to say on the subject,
has been examining the liver and spleen of
animals to see what phenomena were pro-
duced in them by the disease. He found
that the spleen was always enlarged, while
the liver, in many cases, seemed not to be
affected at all. Conceiving that the disease
is peculiar to the spleen, he suggests that it
be called spleenic fever. The Professor, in
his investigations, is said to have weighed
the spleens Of over 1000 cattle, from which
we may suspect that the Professor himself
had the spleenic fever.

the English to avoid such danger by TAX
ing part ain every political movement"
There was not compliment in the
speech for America or her Minister, save
,ba-" T" one above noticed.
The exact relation between Mr.. JOHNSON
and Mr.. RoEBucK in these dinner speeches
NAV be forcibly illustrated by the anecdote
Of the Frenchman and Englishman, who
were brought together in conversation which
had flowed on 60 much to the Frenchman's
delight that, under the impulse of his feel
ings at the moment, he exclaimed with
much ardor: "Sare, were | not French
aman would rather be an Englishman
"than anything else!" The Englishman
coldly and sternly replied "If / were not
Gan Englishman l wouldn't care d-n
"what was!" t
On the next day after the cutters dinner
Mr.. JOHNSON, at reception by the Mayor
and Council of Sheffield, made brief
speech, in which he noticed Mr.. RoEBUcK's
remarks with reference to the character OF
the emigrants into the United States. Mr.
JOHNSON denied that the character
of those emigrants had been justly
described by Mr.. RoEBUcK. he al.
mitted that there were bad men ana
bad women in the United States, but con-
tended that they were also to be found IN
England and by way of especially COM
mending the emigrants to America, ne
stated that number of them were English
men-many of them from that very town OF
Sheffield That ought, of course to Satisfy
Mr.. RoEBUck, who is q member from Shel-
field.

America in England, whose lion ls ABOUT 10

even before he was presented at Court

The Alabama Claims.

A leader in the London Times on the
subject of the Alabama claims warrants the
inference that England will come down
with the dust on the subject of the Ala
bama claims. This we have all along seen.
The Times assumes that Mr.. JOHNSON has
carte blanche to settle those claims, and
that there has been nothing in the way OF
that settlement heretofore but the offended
pride of the United States at the indiffer-
ence of England in the civil war, and her
willingness to gee the Union dissolved. But
it assumes, rs Mr.. SEWARD has now cut
loose from the past, the settlement is plain
it is only wanting to "ix the popular
indemnity" Exactly-and that was all that
was wanting at any time, we suppose. The
talk of the Times about the wounded pride
Of the American Government-wounded
because the English was not in full sym
pathv with the Federal Government-being
difficulty in the way, is all bosh. The
United States Government knows how
and it demanded indemnity first, indemnity
last, and indemnity all the time. JOHN
BULL may say that since you do not de-
mand it as indemnity for wounded feelings,
will pay it. Our Government will take
the money, and say no more about it. UNCLE
SAM being the winner in the set-to over the
Alabama claims will not deprive the Eng
fish of any little imaginary consolation
they may take to themselves in knuckling
down to the United States.
England's conduct in this Alabama bust
! ness has been most craven, and places her
the third in dignity among the nations
France and the United States being ahead
of her in the roll. Indeed, she has gotten
so rich and fat that she is become, like all
overgrown nations with a great deal tc
hazard and little room to gain, always ready
to compromise with powerful rivals, while
she does not fail to tyrannize over the weal
and defenceless.

The New York Times of the 18th argues
that because the southern whites are not
distrdnchiSed in the reconstructed States
"no permanent injustice has been done
to them. But the same paper claims that
permanent injustice has been done to the
Georgia negroes in excluding them from
office, although they, too, are voters. The
privilege of voting is sufficient for the
whites, but negroes must have the right tc
hold office Thousands of whites are still
prohibited from holding Office in oil the
southern States.
