THE SAN .JVAN TREATY.

A GREAT portion of the Executive session of the
Senate for two days has been taken up by a dis
cussion of the proposed treaty for the settlement
of our long-standing dispute with Great Britain
concerning the boundary line between Washing
on Territory and Vancouver's Island. For
forty years or more previous to 1886, the United
States claimed exclusive jurisdiction over the
vast extent of territory west of the Rocky Noun
tains embraced between the latitudes of AZ deg
and 81 deg. 40 min. Great Britain likewise
claimed the same territory as her own, and as
the dispute between the two countries progressed
considerable bitterness was manifested on both
sides, large party in the United States decla-
ring in favor of maintaining our jurisdiction at
the point of the sword If necessary, and adopt
ing for Its war cry motto facetiouslv spelled
s:--"Phiphty-phou phorty or phight!"
In 1896 while James Buchanan was Secretary
of State, a treaty was negotiated between the
two disputing nations proposing as the settle
ment of the difficulty the establishment of the
boundary line along the forty-ninth degree of
lnorth latitude to the middle of the channel
which separates the main land from Vancouver's
Island, and from this point southwardly
to the Pacific Ocean, through the middle
of the channel above named and the
Fuca Straits. A strong opposition was
arrayed against the ratification of the treaty,
the administration of President Polk being in
cluded in the opposition, by their pledges to the
people. But they soon found themselves en-
Numbered with war with Mexico and as per-
|sistence in the claim of "a deg. 40 min would
probably have resulted in q conflict with Great
Britain, they found it necessary to submit the
Proposed treaty to the Senate, accompanied by
b halfway recommendation for its approval.
After determined opposition by the Wings
hnd number of radical Democrats, the treaty
was finally ratified; but the ratification served
pnly to pave the way for still another yexatious

The key to the safe In which we kept our securities

doors OF which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
II. fortunately we had one OF your Burglar-Proof
Bankers Chests inside, In which our vauables were
deposited. This they went to work at with will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force it. The night was dark and stormy
and the fact OF their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured They
tried wedgng the door and body Of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence Of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All useless and IL is with
great satisfaction report that upon opening it we
found our securities all s and therefore cheer

by you.
You will please send the new safe purchased by us
to our countinghouse, and take the old one to show

EDITOR FoRERUENER AS have not
seen you at our Court, I will send you
a few items in relation thereto. Judge
Hall is holding On the second week in this
good old Sleepy TOra, and | will say to
you, the efficiency of the Judge in fning
the disturbers of the peace here has been
prOmotivo of much good, for | must con-
fess I have rarely seen a more orderly
condition of things at Circuit Court. The
Judge has already imposed $500 in fines
for taking the lords name in vain, and
for indulgences in mean whisky.
The docket is large. Wiley Lynn was
convicted for robbery in two cases and
sentenced to hard labor in the Penitenti-
airy for Eve years in each case. The 9TH
err cases on the State Docket were prinei.
pally disposed of by submissions and
fines. There is no criminal case of i'm
portarce before the Court, and no prison
er in Jail except Lynn, awaiting transport
tation to Nashville. The Civil Docket
presents the usual variety of cases--some
ejectment suits, pleas of non est faetum
npon notes and obligations, and two suits
for defaults in the official acts of officers.
The docket will be much reduced and
nearly or quite all the chronic cases dis
posed of.
On the whole, much credit is due Judge
Hall and the officers for the order and
comfort in the transaction of the business
of this Court. Monroe county has large,
convenient aud well-arranged Courthouse,
at small cost, and it now only requires
that the floors be covered with Cocoa Mat
ting to be the best one in East Tennessee.
| learn it is the intention of our County
Court for each member to contribute his
pay at the April term towards the purch-
ase of the mating. You cannot any lon
ger say our County Court has not men in
it of the right grit, You may hunt far
to find better men than those who "run
the machine" in old Monroe.
