A MYSTERY LIFTED.

Excelsior Some time about two years
ago, an advertisement appeared in the
New York and New Orleans papers di-
rected to ''Dod." It created considerable
curiosity from one end of the country to
the other, for there was a peculiarly
about its pertinacity and the cost of its
publication. 1t subsequently appeared in
the leading California papers and lately
it was seen in an Australian journal
Wherever the English language is printed,
"Dod" has been told that there was vel

The mystery is out. ''Dod" is pet name
by which the present heir to the Earldom
of Aberdeen was addressed at home. In
1866, this pet then being the next in sue
cession to the title and estates of the above
earldom, left home in a freak to follow
the sea as common sailor. He came to
the United States, where he shipped as an
ordinary seaman under the name of Henry
F. Osborne. He sailed in an Atlantic
coast trader. His further career has been
traced, until it finally ended BY his being
drowned, in 1870, on q voyage from Ros-

The late decision Of the Supreme Court
at Washington, on motion made by Judge
Campbell, in behalf of the butchers, in
the celebrated Slaughterhouse cases, has
attracted considerable attention through
out the North to the controversy. Several
papers have noticed the suit, and it is
generally conceded that it will be test
case upon the Interpretation of the four
tenth amendment.
Everybody seems anxious to have tie
matter pressed to speedy conclusion, in
order that we may know the true intend
ment Of this constitutional provision. We
have heard it reported that the opponents
of the Slaugherhouse Company may sue
coed in having the case speedily sab
mitted, though we believe that nothing
definite has been done. We understand
that Judge Campbell has gone 70 Wash

The talk on the flags yesterday was
with the exception Of the continuous
Slaughte-house topic Of the past five days,
limited to the discussion OF Adrniristrat ton
Shaw's report on the finances Of the city.
Most parties commended the expose OF
the Administrator as frank even to bold
ness. Nearly ali the points made by him
were concurred in; but there was {. general
dissatisfaction, not at the soundness OF
his conclusions, but equivalent to disap-
pointment with the facts involved. About
q month since, the Administrator Of Pub
lie Accounts submitted budget Of Gabili-
ties and expenditures for the nett year
amounting to sone five millions ard a
half.
Most Of this immense sum vas made up
of unsettled floating debt of past admins
trations, and accounts against the present
administration caused by devoting the
taxes collected to extinguishing back in
terest and sinking the consolidated debt.
The rest of the budget was the aggregate
estimates of the several administrators for
expenditures within their respective de-
partments. So far as our memory serves
us, the interest and principal, or sinking
funds Of back debts estimated for. were
about three millions, while the expenses

THE BLACK SEA QUESTION.

In the treaty OF Pans, OF 1896, clause
exists that Russia shall not build nor own
| q navy ON the Black Sea. It was thought
when this article was interpolated in the
treaty that it was peculiarly designed to
protect Turkey, sinceit was suggested that
a naval expedition from Sevastopol might
at any signal from st. Petersburg sail
down upon and take possession Of Con-
stantinople. A little better information
has put o different coloring upon the
Black Sea neutrality. Even Turkey sig
nifes her willingness to have the pro-
vision excluding Russia from that sea re-
vised by an European Congress.
All the powers are agreeable but
England. Great Britain makes the
fercest opposition, and it is now sus-
pected that she was the author Of the
original text of the treaty. Her Asiatic
possessions are in greater danger than
Turkey. Russia has Eastern aspirations,
and Great Britain suspected this ambi-
pol, and intrigued to have Russia ex-
cluded from that watery highway which
leads from the Crimea to Mingella,
Georgia, and through them to the Cas-
plan Sea On to Persia and India. Asia
presents the same field for conquest and
plumber that it did in the days Of Give,
and Russia is anxious to divide the rich
treasures of Tartary with her English
friends With servicable feet on the
Black Sea, with Sevastopol rebuilt and
restored to its proper commercial
supremacy, the advance Of Russia
in the East would be an easy matter and
Great Britain would have to retire from
the empire which she has built up in
Asia The exclusion Of Russian marine
force from the Black Sea is destructive to
the best interests of the Crimea. and is at
the same time preventive to the spread
of European ideas in all that semi-civilized
country which occupies the Asia.io bor-
ders Of this neutral ocean. Russia is pre-
pairing large work shops and naval depots
on the Dnieper CT the ancient
Borysthenese, and the next Crimean war
will find her base Of supplies less aocessi-
BILE to land and naval pillage than they
were in the last.
It is to the interest of the world at
large >that Great Britain should havesan
associate in the business of developing
Asiatic progress. She has done but little
With the immense revenues which have
been derived from her Eastern posses
sions, and the Southern States have
lively recollection Of the threat which
was made against them that India cotton
should be used to break down orr slprem-
acy in that article Of commercial neces-
sity. Our interest, therefore, in the Black
Sea, is to sympathise with the Russian
movement to master it in the general in
terests Of Europe, by making it populous
with European ships. When it is fully
decided that the treaty shall be abro-
gated, and that the navies Of the world
may enter past the Golden Horn, our own
verturesOme merchants viii be found e1-
ploring around the borders of the Black,
the Azof, and the Caspian seas, bringing
back the trade that has hitherto been
limited to a few ports in Southern Eu-
rope.
