Wednesday Morning, July 20, 1870.

THERE is considerable interest felt now t.
know what the laws of nations are with respect
to private property at sea in time of war.
During the Crimean war Eagland and France
gave six weeks notice of an intention to
blockade ports, but it is not thoaght probable
that Napoleon will observe that Precedent. but
that he will be governed by the treatAof Paris,
which was agreed to April 6, 1856, BY m ma
tons except the United States and Mevico.
The following are the provisions of the treay +:
/. The course is that all piracy is abolished
2. The neutral nag protects enemy's mer
81 ndise, with the exception of contraband o
y 1.
). The merchandise of neutral, with TIN
exception OF contraband of war, carnot b
seized under the enemy's flag.
4. The blockade must be effective. viz. shall
be executed by sufficient power, so that no in
tercourse can be had with the coast of the
enemy.
When the declaration of Paris was made
the IIriced States were invited to become z
party to it. This was refused unless the othel
party would agree hatprivate property SHOULD
be exempt as well from seizure by public arm
ed cruisers as by privateers. In 1861 Mr.. Sew
ard rendered the accession of this country Il
the Pals declaration, but it was declined b,
England and France unless to apply prospec
lively. As the benefits of the convention ex.
tend only to those States which have agreed
to it, 1t is supposed that the flag of the United
states Will not cover an enemy's goods, thi
the American doctrine, not being the rule o
international law.

The expense OF taking the census of 1860
IN round numbers, was $1,7OO,O0O. To de-
ray ray the s expenses of taking the census of
work is done under substantially the same
law. A slight difference between Democratic
and Radical rule, but difference which tax-
payers cannot fail to appreciate.-Argus.
Rip Van Wrinkle journals which, like the
Argus and the Democratic papers generally,
are conveniently obliyious to the events of the
last ten years, are of course unable to ac-
count for the increase in prices on any other
suppositon than the change of adninistra-
t'on. In one sense this was the cause. For
1t furnished the Southern wing of the Demo-
cratic party with pretext for making that
war which caused our debt, tue depreciation
OF the currency, and high prices The Arqus
omits to give all the facts. But it is consider
able for that journal to tell half the truth

The new school system inaugurated in Ala
bama in 1867, though encountering much. cp-
position, has produced encouraging results and
gives promise of final success. White and
colored people both exert themselves to enable
their children to participate in its advantages
In Madison county there was not, at the be-
ginning of last year, school brilding or a
dollars worth of school property belonging to
the State. There were at the beginning of

The economical success is, by comparison,
really wonderful. In 1857 there were $4,000
pupils taught at an expense of $550,OOo; in
1869 there were 100000 pupils taught at an
expense of little over 100000. Facts like
these are sufficient evidence that either the
old system was insuferably bad or the new
one tolerably meritorous.
Ithas been estimated that the Crimean war
cost France eighty thousand men, the italian
campaign sixty thousand, and the wars in
China and Mexico sixty-fve thousand. The

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CHARLESTOw4J,
MAss-One of the most destructive fires
that has taken place in Charlestown, Mass
since 1885, took place on Monday afternoon
and caused a loss of about 100000. The
Tudor Company owned a large granite and
brick building so by 80 feet and five stories
high, on Charles River avenue. The two
lower stories were used as linseed oil tacto-
ry, and the three upper floors as a gunny
cloth factory. The picker-room of this con-
Germ was in the fifth story, and it was here
that the fire took from an over-heated jour-
NAL Everything in the room was covered
with fine jute-dust, and this being very light
and dry it conducted the fire with almost the
rapidity of powder. ms
mostly girls, were at work in the
room, many of them, on account of the
intense heat of the day. shoeless and with
out superfuous clothing, and they bad barely
time to escape with their lives, leaving their
effects behind them. In spite of the efforts of
the firemen the fire worked downward. and
soon reached the second floor, where the lin
seed oil was, when it burst forth with re-
doubled fury. The vast quantity of water
thrown upon tho flames seemed to have no
more effect than gently falling dew. Within
an hour from the outbreak of the fire the roof
and the greater part of the side and rear walls
had fallen. In half an hour more the walls
had all fallen except a portion of the front
and the corners. and the flames now came
from mass of debris hanging from the cellar.
which was soon brought under control.
Another building OF similar dimensions and
construction, owned by the Tudor Co., used
as rice and tobacco factory, standing about
twenty feet from the burned building, was
considerably burned and was saved with diff
Guilty. The building burned was valued at
$1,000 }; machinery and stock 100000. The
property was generally we'll insured. Three
persons were considerably injured.
