The Treaty I'm tho British anI American
Senntes.

The Treaty in tho British auI American
Senates.
The new treaty was discussed In executive
session of the Senate yesterday, Senators
Davis and Thurman, both democrats, speaking
upon it. They did not actually oppose it, but
indicated that they had certain amendments
to OFFER So far only one member Is
known to be opposed to lis ratification. Thus
it moves along smoothly enough in our own
Senate, thereby offering rather startling con-
trast to the discussions upon it in the Senate Of
Great Britain, where, it must be remembered,
the members have not yet seen copy of the
actual treaty.
The speech which Senator Sumner refuses
to father has raised lively debate in the
House of Lords. The discussion was opened
by the Marquis of Salisbury, who wanted to
know whether tho government would ratify
the treaty before the 18th of June-that is to
say, before their lordships had their
say on the subject. The Earl Of
Lauderdale seemed rather mystifed by
the speech now repudiated by Sumner.
The Earl, with sublime disdain, secuted the
idea OF an apology on the part Of England.
The noble lord had better dismiss the subject
of ''apology" from his mind, for however he
may fume and chafe, it is now too late. The
treaty at its beginning says that ''her Britannia
Majesty has authorized the Commissioners to
express the regret felt" &c. Lord Lauder
dale may not call this an apology, nor do we.
Still if any one has, perhaps unwittingly, in
jured you, pays the damage done and
says couldn't help 1t, but 1 am sorry
for it, such an answer, we should say,
is quite sufficient to all purposes Of
apology, and it would be unreasonable to ex-
pect more. Earl Granville, the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, had also slap at Senator
Sumner, with whom he 'ssympathized as little
as with Lord Lauderdale. Earl Grey admin
istered quiet snubbing to his Lordship by de-
claring that it was "a prerogative of the crown
to conclude treaties" This, however, did not
satisfy the old womanish Earl Russell, who
ought to have exhausted the subject by this
time. But Lord John has Alabama claims on
the brain. We do not wonder at it. Has not
he and our own irrepressible Seward for years
kept up lively cross fire of paper pellets OF
the brain?"
We take these speeches for what they are
worth, or rather for what they are Intended
to make political capital against the Glad
stone Ministry And, after hearing all argu-
ments for and against the treaty, the British
Parliament will acquiesce in the action of the
government.

NAPoI goN AT CHlsELHuRsT.-From one of
the HFRALD's correspondents in London
we 1esrn that the life of the imperial
exiies at Chiselhurst flows on quietly, with
Out ostentation or show, and that those
who have remained true to Napoleon in his
misfortunes entertain the belief that their i'm
perial master will once again occupy the Tul-
cries. The supposition of the exiled
Court at Chiselhurst is that the
restoration Of the empire will be
carried out by the Prussians. The Emperor
Of Germany and Prince Bismarck are, they
claim, in favor of placing the Prince Imperial
on the throne of France. The letter from
which we derive this news, and which we pub
lsh in another part of the HERALD this morn
ing, possesses new interest from the recent
events which have taken place, by the occupa-
ton Of Paris and the present unsettled condi-
ton Of France.

JUDGE BEDFORD ENDORSED BY THE MEDI-
GAL PRoFEssloN.-We have at last direct
expression given US Of the adherence in
which the ''pervading crime of abortion is
held by the medical faculty Of our city. The
recent trials and convictions of the two noted
professional abortonists, the SOL disdnt doctors
Wolfe aud Lookup Evans, in the Court Of Gen.
eral Sessions, and the sentences passed upon
these scoundrels by City Judge Bedford, have
elected a timely and very complimentary en-
dorsement OF the plucky Judges services to
the community in the premises. AT stated
meeting Of the New York Academy of Medi-
cine, held a few days since, series OF resolu-
lions were passed expressive of the feeling
above referred to, as entertained by the medi-
cal profession for Judge Bedford for "his
manner OF conducting the trials Of those noto-
rious abortionists and enemies Of mankind,
Wolfe and Lookup Evans. This exposition
OF the sentiments Of so honored but so oft
misrepresented, profession by cheats and
charlatans will help the good work inaugurated
Ia the General Sessions, and tend to put q
complete check to the pernicious crime so de-
plorably prevalent In this great city. The
resolutions will be found Ia another part Of our
paper,

General Butler on tho Fisheries Question.
The statesman of Gloucesler-whose fiery
wrath upon the stump among the Massachu-
sets fishermen last fall, when he denounced
the action Of th eProvincial authorities in de-
priving American fishermen of their rights,
certainly stirred up the British lion to the
necessity of settling the vexed questions in
some way, and thence led to the formation
of the Joint High Commission and to the
negotiation OF the great treaty now
pending In the Senate-has come forth Jus. in
the nick Of time with pamphlet full of the
same fiery wrath against the fisheries clause
of the treaty itself. The great statesman
took occasion yesterday to read before
committee of the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature letter addressed to Senator
Ames by himself, in which this review
of the fisheries clause is contained. In it he
says the privilege of fishing within the three
mile line in British waters is really of little
value. During the tendency of the Reciprocity
Treaty the American catch therein was some
thing less than one-lfth of the whole catch.
In fact, he says the extent of business done
therein, when reduced to q money value,
amounts to about seven thousand dollars, aud
Nova Scotia once offered to sell and did sell
the privilege for just that sum. Yet for this
insignificant concession the American Com
missioners have negotiated treaty opening
all our ports to Canadian fishermen and per-
hitting them to fish in our waters and cure
MI oh 1ru tho;r
According to the protocols published in the
HERALD our Commissioners were even willing
to give million dollars for this profitless
concession. General Butler thereupon urges,
through this letter to his son-in-law, the
Senator, that the Senate ought not to ratify
the treaty. General Butler ought Of course to
be heard respectfully on this subject. It is
one which he has closely studied and one upon
which he has more than once won his way
through the SURFACES of his Gloucester con-
stituency to the House of Representatives, and
upon it he will most likely win his way there
again. He is the accepted mouthpiece of the
fishermen, and we may rest satisfied that they
back him up in his war upon this fisheries
clause of the treaty. But it appears
the Canadian fishermen are just as
wrothy as Butler over this fisheries
clause. They denounce it as heartily as he,
and hold that nothing but the old Reciprocity
Treaty, with all its grants and privileges, can
repay them for the damage that may accrue
from the presence Of Yankee fishermen in
their waters. 1t is somewhat singular that
these two interested parties-the Canadians of
the first part and the Americans ofthe second
should so strenuously contend that they are
likely to lose money by the proposed ar
rangement. 1t gives us a forcible impression
that the Yankee spirit of bargain driving is
animating both sides. They aim to get bet
ter terms by depreciating the goods TO be pur-
chased, just as small purchaser higgles for
few cents on the article he wishes. In the
cerl.'he treaty will be ratified, and then both
parties will slyly chat each other over the
good bargain they obtained.

The Terrible Pestience in Bmeno. Ayrcs.
According to our latest reports Of the raw
ages of the yellow fever in the city of Buenos
Ayres twelve thousand of its population Of
two hundred thousand had recently died of
that terrible disease. A similar percentage
of mortality in this city would cut off sixty
thousand of our population. 1t is not surpris-
ing then, that at the latest accounts the popu-
lation of Buenos Ayres remaining in the city
had been reduced to about twenty-five thou
sand, and that two-thirds of these were suffer-
ing from the epdemic-that the entire popu-
lation of the city, in fact, excepting the sick
and their immediate friends, had sought safety
in fight. It is to be feared, however, that
those flying away have carried the contagion
with them, and that SO the epidemic will be
extended to Montevideo and all the surround
ing towns, villages and country places.
A calamity so heavy must inevitably be fol-
lowed by a vast amount Of suffering and desti-
tuition among the surviving people of the
afflicted city, and especially among its nume-
rous widows and orphans left without means
of support. Here, then, is a call upon New
York which it is morally bound to answer with
the accustomed generosity of our fellow
citizens in such cases. Nor do we think that
in this extreme case it would be amiss for the
city in its official capacity to interpose in the
name of holy Charity for the relief of
Buenos Ayres The Mayor and Common
Council might at least confer with the Argen-
tine Consul General as to the extent of the
relief which will be needed at once in Buenos
Ayres to prevent the addition of the horrors
of famine to the Affections of the pestlence
and in view of voluntary contributions Of
relief.
Nor can the duty Of vigilance be too strongly
impressed upon our health authorities in
reference to this yellow fever at Buenos Ayres.
1t is evidently virulsnt epidemic in its char
acter, highly contagious, aud much moro
dangerous as contagion than the yellow fever
of the ordinary type. 1t Is of that type Of
yellow fever which some twelve or fifteen
years ago desolated Norfolk, and which, by
the wind from ship with the disease on board
in the lower bay, was communicated to Fort
Hamilton, spreading thence along the shore to
Governors Island and over to Staten Island.
So, in view of the numerous trading vessels
dropping in here from South America, we
would urge something more than ordinary
vigilance against this South American pestl-
lence on the part of our health authorities.

FIR. John Quincy Adams the Demo-
cratic Situation.

cratic SliuutiOus
Mr. John Quincy Adams, chip of the old
block of Quincy granite, and the late demo-
cratic candidate for Governor in Massachu-
sets, has written bold, outspoken letter to
political colahorer in Missouri, which pretty
sharply defines the democratic situation on
the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments es-
tablshing negro civil and political equality.
Ia this letter he says the people feel that as
things are now going they are going wrong, but
that ''the sweep of reaction is stayed by the
dread of revolution" that it is the true policy
Of the democrats to ''dispel this apprehen-
sion )" that he deplores s'the hating, hest
tating step with which the democracy is sneak
ing up to its inevitable position; that he
regrets ''the studious ambiguity which seems
to search for sallyport through which to
dodge its destiny" that, on the other hand,
he does not like the policy Of those who pro-
claim s'their purpose Of revolution" He
holds that "ihe republican organization can
rally to no cry but a slogan, and conquer
under no standard but a spear" and that
sshostility to the fifteenth amendment (negro
suffrage) is the stock 10 trade Of the fomenters
Of strife"
This is speaking to the point and to the pur-
pose. Mr.. Adams says, furthermore, that
everything gives way to ''the supreme arbtra-
ment of war;" that ''the people will never
resign their attitude of hostile vigilance, which
is the real significance Of the present admins
tration, until they know that no one of their
war trophies is any longer disputed" but that
''then they will resume the habits which they
love and the good nature they repress." So
he urges the democrats to come up to the
scratch of the fifteenth amendment of 'equal
and exact jnstice," and asks them "who
timony equal rights upon his lips, and
denounce measure which Is too democratic
for democrats only because the enfranchsed
are black?" He says that ''the old constitu-
ton is just as good as ever 1t was, for South
as we'll as North, in spite Of the marks of the
mailed hand which must remain upon it for
warning to those that come after us" cit ia
war--civil war"-that Expresses the States;
and you have only to close this war and you
''restore self-governmcnt to the people Of the
States"
Here we have the whole merits of the
main question in NUTSHELL and Mr.. Adams,
in his Independent way Of speaking his con-
victions, has been doing the best service that
he could possibly do to put the democratic
party on the right track. 1t 10 little
remarkable, too, that at about the same time
that late recognized chief Of all the copper
heads, that keen observer Of ''fxed facts"
Mr.. vallandigham, of Ohio, should be doing
the very thing recommended by Mr.. Adams
an honest recognition, out and out, OF the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, negro
civil and political equality, negro suffrage and
all. And this is the very point to which the
democracy OF the nation must come before
they can hope to reverse the popular Judgment
of the Presidential elections Of 1850, 1864
and 1868.
