ST. THOMAS TREATY.
Grants Friends Determined TO Run II
Through next Session Of Congress.
From the New York Herald.

From the New y ork Herald.
A gentleman authorized to act as q
semi-Oflicial agent of the Danish gov
ernment is in Washington now for the
purpose of stirring up a new agitation
about the st. Thomas treaty so long
and so uDjustly neglected by the
United States Senate. 1t seems prob
able that his efforts, united to those of
Senator Nye and other influential peo-
pie, will result in bringing the subject
once more into prominent attention
when Congress reassembles. A few
days ago, il will be remembered, it
was stated in several newspapers that
toward the close of the late session of
Congress, Senator Nye offered a resOlu-
ton, which he intends call
ing up for consideration next
winter, asking for all the in
formation in possession of the Presi-
dent in relation TO the st. Thomas
treaty. Senator Nye proposes to have
the treaty ratified next session. The
friends Of the treaty contend now that
in spite of Summers opposition fav-
Orable report can be obtained from
the foreign relations committee and
that twO-thirds of the Senate will
vote for it. How far their hopes are
justifiable under all the circum-
stances of the case, / am unable to
ascertain, but from their confident as
sertion, il seems probable that they
have something more than specula-
ton to work upon. In favor of re-
opening the question and urging rat
| ifcation they say, with some truth
| f1,nf IL "A
offer to part with its possession,
but that it was only after repeated
solicitations by this government
that she consented to transfer her
territory to us for pecuniary consid-
Grafton. Ali the preliminaries were
carried out by her in good faith, in
Guiding the free vote of the people for
the transfer, but the United States
Senate never acted upon the treaty,
because the Committee on Foreign
Relations did not report it to that
body. And it now lies among the
musty records as neglected as so much
waste paper; that Denmark justly
complains of the indignity with which
she has been treated-an indignity
after all that had passed, which was
not expected by one nation of another.
The weak voice of Denmark was in
efficient against our Government, and
the fulfilment of the treaty was there
fore not accomplished. Such treat
ment would not have been practised
towards England, France or any other
powerful nation. 1t is a matter of re-
gret, they urge, that the truth has thus
/ to be spoken; but our national pride
/ and sense of iustice should prOmDt us
to repair the loss.

PARIS, August THE La Li6eTte

Froissard has only retreated a short

PARIS, August THE following
dispatch has been received from gen
eraI headquarters, dated Metz,
August Z, $3.50 am: That we hold
our position here. Its necessary that
Paris and France should consent to
the great efforts of patriotism. Here
we lose neither our GOODNESS nor cur
confidence, but the trial is at hand.
McMahon, after the battle of Kiss
chehohen, retired for some time.
General FarrO's corps, which sUff-
cred severely, Is taking energetic
measures for the defense. The Major
General is in the front.
A later dispatch, dated general
headquarters, Metz, July :, II am,
says that the concentration of troops
continues without any obstacle. All
active hostilities, it seems, have
! ceased.
METZ, August Z, $3.50 a.m.-During
the fighting yesterday, the Prussians
| fired upon the ambulances at Forbach,
and set fire to the town. The Second
corps was engaged at Forbach, sup
ported by only two divisions from
other corps. The corps of Generals
Admirault and Failley were not in
the fight. The combat commenced at
i O'Clock, and at first appeared
to be of little Importance, but soon
large masses Of troops were hidden in
woods attempted to turn our position.
AT five O'Clock the Prussians appeared
as if they had been repulsed and had
given up the attack, but fresh corpse
were arriving TO the assistance of the
Prussians from Werden. General
Frossard was obliged to retire to-day.
The troops which got repulsed yester-
day are concentrating around Metz.
Marshal Mcmahon had the support
of five. divisions of General Failley's
corps. After the battle these divisions
were unable to join their corps. The
details of this battle are still very
vague. 1t is said that many cavalry
charges were made, but the Prussians
had the mitrailleur and kugelshtirgen
which did us much harm.

Shooting ofCol. Chas. Jones.

ShO0ClnS O1Gol OnaS' Joues'
The third act in the Nixon and
Liddell tragedies eliminated at
Harrisonburg on the 18th inst, in
theshooting of Col. Chas. Jones,
one of the slayers Of the late Gen.
Liddell, by Mr.. M. J. Liddell, of
Richland parish, a son of Gen.
Lidden. From.information deriv-
ed from Capt. Sinnott, of the Gov.
Allen, we make up the following
statement Of the affair:
The Gov. Allen had just effect
ed a landing at Harrisonburg.
Capt. Sinnott was on the roof, and
saw Mr.. Liddell leave the forward
part of the boiler deck and run
aft into the cabin. The Captain,
apprehending Mr.. Liddell's mo-
tive, ran below to intercept him
and prevent the execution Of any
hostile purpose. The parties took
different routes, SO that Capt. Sin
mott missed seeing Mr.. u. The
latter, it appears, ran to his room
and got his gun. He had recog-
nized Col. Jones among the spec
tators at the landing, before leav-
ing his position on the forward
guards of the boat. Returning to
his position with his gun, Mr.. Lid
dell discharged one barrel, some
say in the air to dispense the
crowd standing around Col. Jones,
and soon after, seeing Col. Jones
isolated, fred the remaining bar
rel, of his gun when Col. Jones
ran. Col. Jones was hit with one
ball in the thigh, another in the
shoulder and several bullets pass
ed through his hat and clothing.
He had come down to the boat,
being at Harrisonburg under ar
rest, but not, it is reported, at the
time in custody, to place a letter
on the boat. His wounds are not
regarded by his attending surgeon
as dangerous, and he will no doubt
recover. He was shot at a dis
lance of some eighty yards.
Immediately after the shooting,
Capt. Sinnott met Mr.. Lidden.
He said to Capt. S., "Sir, I know
have violated your regulations
in what has been done. The only
excuse I have to offer is, that I
saw the man who murdered my
father" Mr.. Liddell remained on
the boat until it reached the fam
lily homestead and there got off.
We give this as the statement of
Capt. Sinnott. He did not see the
shooting. We understand that
up to Tuesday no affidavit had
been made against Mr.. LiddeH.
We regret exceedingly the ac-
ton of Mr.. Liddell, and regret
that Col. Jones should have APP
peared in public unattended by an
officer of the law. But, in every
stage of this deplorable ira gedy
we find cause for regret, and too
much cause for censure. Alas
for Col. Jones and for Gen. Lid
dell, and for the sons of both, that
they had not taken counsel of the
spirit of Cancellation, and buried
with the past every circumstance
and thoughJ which could possibly
tend to arouse afresh the bad
blood which so long ago and so
violently existed between them.
We trust now that in chronicling
this latest act of the mournful
tragedy, the theme of SO much
conversation and the cause of so
much feeling, we have reached a
point where the curtain will be
allowed to fall, and that all the
parties will leave to more friendly
and pacific arbiters than deadly
