The vicinity Of Sandburg, Sullivan county abou:

AL1terarx Cutt1e-EIsl,.

The genus of molluseous sea animals, knoWna as
the cuttle-fsh, or squid, have a mode of escaping
from their pursuers by ejecting an inky fluid
which by darkening the water, hides their posi-
ton. The writer of the leader in the last Ga
sevs. who undertakes,-but Oh, how lamely!
to apologize for the darkly fraudulent attempt to
charcoal the United States revenue from island
sugars, reminds US very forcibly of the cuttie-hsh.
In order to lead away and mistify publica attention
from the patent truth that fraud 1oas really an
tended and attempted, a long rigmarole is gwen OF
nearly a column, being a learned and sclentinc
disquisition of the component parts OF the differ
ent grades of sugar-so many parts OF cane sugar.
so many of grape, and so many of other matter
the different soils and climates in which cane Is
pIanted the different kinds of machinery EN-
ployed in the manufacture, ETC., etc. NOW III 'he
name of common sense and truth, what Is the
meaning of all this 50 ejecting of inky fluid" II
not for the purpose of bemuddling the whole
subject to the minds of those unacquainted with
scientific terms, and thus withdrawing attention
from the naked dishonesty of the whole transac-
ton in question? There is just one loop hole
through which the late Mr.. Gordon's literary
champion may beat a mastery retreat, and, hav-
ing entertained a respect for him, we suggest it
for his benefit. Come out ~manfully and say that
your arguments have been based on a misstate-
ment of facts made by so-called friends, and thus
escape the odium which must of necessity attach
from q participation in the affair.

The Reciprocity Treaty.

The sending of Chief Justice ALLEN to Wash
ington as envoy, has led to a resuscitation of the
Hawaiian reciprocity from the mass of defunct
legislative rubbish, to which it had been con-
signed, despite the zeal of former ENJOYS; and
according to late advices it has again been
brought before the Senate with an additional
article, which promises it success. The only
reference to the treaty in the teiegraphic news is
the following brief one, under date OF February 8:
- In the Senate the Committee on Foreign Affairs agreed to
report a supplemental article TO the reciprocity treaty with the
Sandwich Islands"
The amendment is supposed to refer to the
duty on sugars over No. II Dutch standard. By
the treaty, as fret framed, only refinery grades
were to be admitted free of duty. This raised
strong opposition to it by many of the merchants
and grocers in San Francisco.
On our first page will be found its provisions,
as originally brought before the Senate. There
is no question but it was framed too much in the
interest of the refneries, and that if all sugars
under No. Is were admitted on the same basis,
it would be better for all interests. 1t is proba-
bic that some compromise has been fixed on, that
will remove the objections.
The death Of Mr.. Fessenden and the absence of
Mr.. Grimes from the Senate, remove two of the
bitterest and most influential opponents it had,
and give promise of its success, especially under
the assistance of Judge Allen, who was formerly
a member of Congress, and is perfectly familiar
with the routine and tactics necessary for success.
and has withal good judgment and discretion.
