THE Navigation Of the Dardancllcs nnd
the London Conference.

tho London Conference.
! In the HERALD of yesterday we printed
letter from Mr.. Mcveagh, Of the United States
Legation, Constantinople, and dated January
IA, 1871. We have had no such statement of the
huestion from any source at any former period.
mr. Mcveagh very clearly shows that the
policy Of the Ottoman Porte has bee u gen
jerous from very early period. The mer-
chant vessels of the Western Powers have had
but little hindrance in the Dardanelles. A
hermit allowed them to enter the Black Sea a
permit allowed them to leave the Black Sea.
Recent treaties have only had reference to the
war ships Of the different nations. War ships
have always been excluded, except by special
permission, which permission was, according
10 usage, granted to armed vessels OF
moderate size on missions Of friendship or
attached to the service Of the foreign legations.
The Treaty of Paris, 1856, recognized the
ancient custom, six of the great Powers sign
ing either directly or by representation.
What conclusion the London Conference has
come 10 we know not: but we must endorse

else any more of this influence; and if one or
more of his political friends get into trouble,
say for burglary, we hope sincerely that they
will be tried in the Court of General Sessions,
where the claims of justice and respect for the
law are stronger and higher than the combined
forces Of political ruffianism.
