The President has sent special message
to Congress, relating principally to the
probable effects Of war in Europe upon
our shipping interests, and has recon-
'nenaed that foreign-built vessels be ad-
luitted, for limited time, to American reg
ister-that is, that American citizens be
allowed to buy ships where they can get
them cheapest. This is most impor-
tant and judicious Recommendation,
and we hope, though We do not
confidently expect, that Congress will
promptly ratify it. The President antici-
pates that, id the course Of the war, q large
share of the carrying trade of the world
will be transferred from the belligerents to
the neutral nations, and he reasons cor
rectly that this trade can only be done by
nations that own ships. As we
have not the vessels necessary to
enter largely into this trade aud as
We cannot make them under the existing
tariff on ship-bui1ding materials, it be-
comes necessary to buy Them. This opens
up the whole question of free trade and
protection. and will be likely TO produce B.
wide divergence of opinion among Con-
Sressmen; but the President is clearly in
the right, and he cannot lose anything by
the discussion.

The Territories Of the United
States.
Their Politics and Resources.
The Indian Question.
Pacific Coast Notions.

WAsHTSGIuS, July 10.
To-day's papera contain two different items
OF news worthy attention. First, Two weeks
ago the Legislature Of Asainiboine, in British
America, under the pacific counsel OF the in
surgent Riel, accepted their new destiny As
part Of territory to be called Manitoba.
This, il true, marks tho beginning Of terri
torial policy On the part Of the rising great
nation to our North-a nation despite our
more selfish wishes, and an impending free
Stlte In all probability. I mean Canada, an
aggressive power not without statesmen.
The second item is the story Of the Indian
council held By Indian Commissioner Parker
with pack of whining chiefs from the Upper
Missouri. They equattad on their hams and
passed round a funky old pipe. and begged and
deplored as usual; for begging, as an old man
pathetical1y remarked to me, ''begging 's their
best holt" The speeches made at this coup-
Gil are well ontrired to move the crude heart
Of tue East and set feeling there against the
white people Of the frontiers, and thus our
OWE territorial progress il Id fast between
savage and sentimentalist, while the more IN
aEaling hand Of tho Dominion annihilates Rlel
aLd suppresses half -breedlsm at u blow.
Of the French halt-brecd Is little better found
ed than the Eastern feeling in favor OF the
Indian. We started Gn this question like Sol
ellis clock yet wrong, and s.Lor't how that
clock does go!" It wilsoonb be time to inquire
with frankuess worthy Of ourselves, as
Americans, what would be at once national
aud an intelligent position to take toward the
Indian, the half breed. and the Canadiau, and
toward tho good but unsettled lands in every
part Of North America. To help this inquiry
l can give some figures and some gossip, OBJ
taincd mainly from tho latest information in
possession of the Committee on Territories.

One Of the provisions of the constitution
is, that no money shall be drawn from the
Treasury, except by authority Of law this
can only be given by an act Of
Congress. To concede that the President
and Senate may, by treaty, so bind the na-
hon that it must pay to Denmark, Russia,
san Domingo, or to the Piegans, Blackfeet,
or Artapahoes, whatever number of mill
IONS OF dollars may be agreed upon, md
that the House must appropriate the money,
is to concede that the Executive Depart

of both sword and nurse.

TIE WAR AND THE GRAIN MARKET.

sNeA+<AAA%@ 7
The news of the declaration Of war in
Europe had an immediate effect upon
the price of breadstuffs in Chicago, New
York, and Liverpool. For several DAYS
past, commercial circles lave been pro-
foundly agitated on the questions of the TO-
la.ions of France and Prussia, and there
was considerable fiuctuation in the
prices of cereal products The excite
ment eliminated yesterday when the
announcement was made that war had
been declared. The price of wheat ad
Vanced cents, corn ? cents, and oats 7 Of
a cent per bushe1. Though there is not
much chance that oats will be wanted to
any great extent for export, any additional
demand for oorn necessarily advances the
prlce Of oats, for they are now both used us
food for animals. II we export corn, we
want more oats for home use The price
of dry-salted shoulders, which is the prin-
cipal pork product now in demand in Eu-
rope, may also be quoted cent higher per
pound.
This advance was, Of course, speculative,
to some extent aud was not fully s,stain-
ed. But the advance, while, perhaps, too
great for the moment, will, in all proba-
bihty, aa the war progresses, be largely in
creased France and Prussia are our com
Petitory in supplying the English market
with breadstuffs- The droutl has affected
the wheat crop Of France, and that Of Eng
land is rather short of the average. The
war will not only stop English importa-
tions from France but from Northern Eu-
rope. The belligerents, in case of war of
any considerable duration, will not only
cease to be exporters, but their production
will be diminished The United States
will have to supply whatever deficiency
may eIist in Western Europe, both in
breadstufTs and provisions.
The war is one in which national
antpath,es Of long standing are to
find expression The rivalry between
France and Prussia is intense,
and this rivalry extands to all
classes of the people On both sides.
The war is commenced on puncti1io,
but it means the conquest by France Of the
Rhine provinces she covets, or the loss
Of those she possesses. The contestants
ire strong, and very evenly matched, and
tho war promises to be the severest that
Europe has witnessed since the time of the
Fist Napoleon. If other powers become
involved in il, The struggle may last for
yeRrs.

guns. Thirty-two heavy war vessels. of
which eleven are iron-clads of the largest
size, are in course of construction, but are
not contracted to be finished until 1877.
The superiority Of France over Prussia in
