Predicted Rel sotion Of the Clarendon
Johnson Treaty by the United States

uohnSou lIeatJ NY tuo ouiIeu DIaVos'
The convention now concluded be-
tween the American Minister aud tho
Secretary Of State for Foreign Affairs
is not, Of course, binding on either
n ,tion. 1t must, Of course, be ratif-
ed by her Majesty, under the advice
of the Minister by whom it was cou-
cluded, but no similar obligation rests
upon the Senate of the United States,
whose consent is required by tho con-
stitution to give effect to any treaty
entered into by tho executive govern
mcnt. And such is the hostility Of
the Senatorial maj ority to the present
President and to Mr.. Reverdy John
son that it is quite conceivable that
the convention may, or purely party
grounds, and without the least refer
eEce to its merits, be rejected By that
body. Ia such an event the negotia-
tion must of course be reopencd by
General Giant. Itis, however, hard
ly impossible that in any case treaty
more favorably to America should be
extorted FROM any British adn,inistra-
ton aud as the probable effect of
further postponement Of the settle
mcnt would be to render the Ameri-
can people weary of the matter, and
to give time for tho republicans, as
sured Of four years. tenure Of
power, to become cooler, more rca-
aonable, more disposed to prefer tho
real Interests of the country and the
credit of the government to the tenn
porary popularity won by claptrap
appeals to the passions of tho multi
tude, We do not know that Eaglish-
men need regard with apy great apx-
icty the action of tho Senate. In
only one respect has tho existing con-
vention an important advantage over
any other that an English government
would be likely to conclude; namely,
that having been substantially framed
and negotiated by tho conservatives,
and actually signed and sealed by the
liberals, it is safe from mere party
cavil aud criticism. On the other
hand, it is sure to be unpopular in
America as the work of President
johnson; while an exactly similar
treaty, negotiated under the auspices
Of his successor, would have the benc-
fit both of the party spirit Of the re-
publcans and Of the personal popu-
larity Of General Grant. In any
case, the present convention may be
confidently regarded as cmbodying the
terms on which the questions SO long
debated between America and Eng
land must finally be settled Its con-
cessions can hardly sbe withdrawn,
while, except that little clique Of
anti-patriotic radicals, of which Mr..
Bright is the most distinguished and
Mr.. Forster the ablest representa-
tivcs, there is probably no English
man who would consent under any
pressuc to extend them.- London

A vory curious railrood accident
happened recently near Mirzapore,

red light and smoke, concluded the
noisy locomotive was an enemy to be
summary demolished. He according
ly placed himself on tho track, and
mot the strange creature head on, with
trunk and tusks. The result was O.

years since wild gnose was shot in

this wheat were recently sent to the

A CASE OF TIE RrTpInurlvE JUS.
rlcE OF HEAVEN -TnE BoLMEyEn
MURDER The rctributivc Justice of
Heaven has never been moro clearly
shown or cxamplifed than in tho fate
OF tho jury who acquitted tho murder
or Of the lnmcntcd Bolmcyer.
The circumstances surrounding the
case are too well known to Justify
rehearsal at this time. Briefly, q
brutal beast bearing the name of
Brown, in cold blood, and without tho
slightest provocation, assassinated
bolmeycr on q a.public street in Day
ton, in broad daylight, in the presence
of numerous witnesses, for the only
reason that Bolmcyor was tho editor
in-ohicf of the Dayton Empire, a
Democratic paper.
Brown, being fearful Of the lust
indignation of the people of Mont
merry county, prayed for change of
venue, had his case transferred to the
loyal county of Miami, and after n
mock trial was acquitted by a Jury
organized for that purpose by a loyal
court and sheriff, Notwithstanding The
proof of guilt was incontostabls and
overwhelming.
This was tho judgment of man.
Now witness tho judgment of AL
mighty God Every iuryman of
Bolmeycr has since bcon bereft of
reason, met unnatural death or com
mittcd suicide, and as q fitting cap.

tween s. their value and par, when the
difference in exchange is taken into
consideration, ranges from twelve to
