Letter from Vice-President COlfax.
NEW YORK. June 7.-Vice-P President Colfax in
letter to Whitelaw Reid, dated South Bend,
June 5, says:-
II am glad to tell you that the journey from
Washington made me stronger, and that here,
in the quiet and happiness of family and home,
! am regaining strength, which shall be guarded
in future more than in the past. think have
studied out the causes of the attack which pros
trated me SO suddenly on the 22d of May. A
bronchial affection of several years standing,
caused by over-much speaking in the open air,
had been aggravated this spring into a severe
bronchial catarrh, accompanied with slight
bilious arrangement.
"When the President convoked the Senate,
1 lett for Washington in such impaired health
that told my family it was the first time in
twenty years that 1 had gone to post of duty
with reluctance, but if stayed at home it would
surely be attributed, though unjustly, to hos
tility to the pending treaty of peace and recon-
ciliation. Although occupying the chair
every day of the session, / was under
medical treatment the whole time,
and so far from the statement being
true which has been so widely published, and
credited to the New York Sun, that smoked

stomach, / smoked but one just before

attack. have had three previous attacks of
vertigo, two while speaking, and have been
warned by medical friends of the peril of more
dangerous attacks, bat have failed to heed the
warning for the past ten years. Certainly since

1 have not felt that had twice
as much work to do that day as there was really

quently in hours stolen from sleep. The very
day was attacked, having felt the oppressive
atmosphere of the executive session more un-
pleasantly than usual, left 1t, and going to my
room wrote large number of letters to catch
up with arrears of correspondence, returning to
the chair at P. NJ. The blow fell ten minntes
thereafter. 1t is the old story Of mental strain
without relaxation but after this serious warn
ing intend to mend my ways, and TO recognize
that there is a limit which even the strongest
constitution will not allow to be exceeded.
''Let me, in conclusion, correct another erro-
neous statement that was not able to talk for
a week after the attack. Every day conversed
with my physicians and attendants, but feeling
the necessity of quiet, / declined converting
with nearly all others who visited my room.

be that to require the express sanction of
legislative body to every international act
is in practice somewhat inconvenient. But we
believe the principle to be sound that, in one
way or another, the Legislature of a nation
ought to have the opportunity of expressing an
opinion before the nation Is irrevocably bound.
As our Constitution is thing of understand
ings, 1t might be understood that no treaty
shall be ratified until 1t has been officially COM
municated to Parliament, er at least, made
public In some way so that Parliament may
criticize 1t If so disposed. 1t cannot be denied
that Parliament has right to concern itself
with treaties; il cannot be denied that criticism
after the event is useless The conclusion Is in
evitable that an interval before ratification is
reasonable, and ought to be afforded. If we
apply these considerations to the present treaty,
their justice will, we think, be admitted. In
our opinion, the treaty is good one and ought
to be ratified. We believe that neither in the
lords nor in the Commons could any successful
opposition be made to It. But it contains stpu-
latons of the very highest importance and
novelty, just such as may afford material for
endless criticism, and encourage those purpose
less motions which are brought forward all the
more readily when they can lead to nothing, and
only give the opportunity for ingenious caviling.
hasty ratification is quite mine of argument
to the class of critics to which we refer, for
they can always urge that Parliament would
never have consented to that of which they
complain, and that it now refuses to listen to
their rhetoric only because the evil is irremedia-
Bile. 1t is clearly better to have a thorough
practical debate at once and have done with the
subject. If a treaty lies on the table of the
House OF Commons for reasonable time, and
no opposition is made to it, or the opposition
fails, then every one must admit that 1t has been
accepted by the nation. If it is really objec-
tionable, then Parliament has the opportunity
OF saving the nation from obligations 1t would
always chafe under. For these reasons we are
glad to find that, as matter of fact the Gov
ernment will not be able to ratify the present
treaty for some three weeks to come.

NEBRASKA.
The Conviction of Governor Butler.
Eg07n The O,oo IN Republic0rL


FTo'n the Omaha Republican.
The conviction of David Butler by the High
Court OF Impeachment of the State of Nebraska,
and his consequent removal from the Office of
Governor, has occasioned a shock even in the
minds of those who believed him most deserv-
ing of punishment. He will not fail to realize
the full force of the stunning blow,
for David Butler was an ambi-
honors. 1t has been assumed by the friends of
Governor Butler that the charges made against
him were the inventions of malice and jealousy,
and that he was really guilty of no wrong
towards the public. These pretenses have
served their purpose, in raising him up apollo
gists and defenders during the recent trial. but
it is quite safe to dismiss them henceforth. That
he converted to his own use nearly $4,000
OF the school moneys, without securing the
State, when he ought to have paid them into
the public treasury, is now undeniable; and it
is equally clear that on the stump and to the
Legislature he misrepresented the facts con-
nected with that transaction. 1t is also in
proof that he accepted large sums of
money from parties who were favored
with State contracts; and there cannot be a
doubt that he repeatedly bartered the influence
of his official position for his own private emolu
ment. 1t has been said that Governor Buffers
services" In helping to create the city of Lin
coin on the virgin prairie, within period of
three years, and the erection of large public
buildings, without taxing the people, should
excuse his slight deviations from official recti-
tude. That he has been energetic and enter
prising is doubtless true; but when we look at
the character of the public buildings-the want
of care in the selection of material, the wretched
architecture (if we except the University, aud
the enormous sums expended-we fail to
see the cause for gratitude towards
Governor Butler and his self-sacrificing part
ners in those enterprises. David Butler is no
longer Governor of Nebraska, and his disgrace
full fall should be warning to all other officials
in this young Commonwealth. The time has
come to inaugurate new era. We have had
enough of peculating and specializing in official
positions. Fortunately Constitutional Conven-
tion is soon to sit, which can arm the people
manage their affairs. Let them make a clean
sweep and start anew on higher plane of Off
cial responsibility.

THE PITTST0N CALAMITY.
A strange Presentiment.

The Scranton (Penna.) Republican tells the
following sad story of one of the victims of the
late Pittston Disaster
civilian James expired about O'Clock on the
afternoon OF the Tuesday following the catastrophe,
and was the last added TO the list OF those upon
whom the death.angel laid his hand in that awful
havoc He was a Welshman, and had been
In this country about seven months. On the morn
ing OF the dreadful day in question he had
taken his breakfast, and his wife had made ready
his dinner and set the pail beside him. For
some time he sat wrapped in thought, his arms
folded, his eyes fixed vacanty upon the stove and a
deep melancholy apparently brooding over him. He
was aroused from his reverie by his wife telling him
that his dinner was ready and that he would be late
as the bell had rung. He started to his feet and
gazing upon her for a moment with look full Of
tenderness and significance, said to her, III
/ should not come back alive, would you
be in such hurry getting me out 2
The wife answered No. but remarked
that II he was going at all it wss time he was gone
He lifted his pail without saying word, and after
kissing his wife, kissed his four little children who
had got about nifty yards from his home he returned
again. and kissed his wife and children once more
with great ferVeney. His wife noticed that he was
the victim OF gloomy forebodings, and as he
turned away she was about 70 entreat
him not to 20 to work II he apprehended any dan
ger, But hope and courage and the pressing neces-
stiles OF their family overcame her Intention and
she let him 90. She stood in the door ana watched
him on his way to the fatal pit. When at point
where he turned out of her sight, he paused and
cast wstful look toward his home and little ones,
and seeing his wife, waved with his hand last
adieu. He parted with his loved ones forever.p

THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.
How 1t is Regarded In England.

From the London Times May 2s
An interesting constitutional point was mooted
yesterday In the House of Lords respecting the
recently-concuded treaty at Washington. Every
one is aware that this treaty is one of the most
important into which England has entered In
our time. 1t purposes to conclude an inter-
national dispute which has engendered intense
bitterness, at least on one side.
Now, Lord Russell has given notice of
motion on the subject in the House of
Lords, which has been postponed until
after Whitsuntide, and stands for the 18th of
June. We learn from America that 1t is expected
the Senate will ratify the treaty this week, and
the consent of the President is understood to
have been given. The text OF the treaty Is In
the hands of the Queens Government, and they
also approve 1t. There is, therefore, nothing,
so far as a member of either House of Parlia-
ment knows, to prevent the ratification being
exchanged at once say during the Whit
suntide recess; and the country would
which it has no official cognisance, its
only knowledge being in fact, derived from our
columns. That the Foreign Secretary
Lord Grey, and Lord Cairns, are technically in
the right admits of no doubt. The right of the
Crown to conclude a treaty Is like its right of
declaring war The Crown may declare war,
but must come TO Parliament for the means to
carry 1t ON. Theoretically, the Crown might
plunge the country into war during the recess,
maintain it for months, till funds became abso-
lutely necessary, and in the meantime commit the
nation to policy which could not be aban-
doned. In practice, 1t is settled that hostili-
ties shall not be declared without calling
Parliament together. This is che 'constitu.
tional" practice-in other words, 1t is an estab-
lished usage, the understanding on which sue
cessiye Ministries hold otice, 1t seems 20 US,
in spite of the high arguments for the rights
and dignity of the Crown which were uttered
last night that it would be well If an analogous
principle were established with regard tc
the ratification of treaties. According TO the
Constitution Of the United States a treaty must
be approved by the Senate. Lord Grey urges
that diplomacy cannot be properly carried
on in large legislative assemblies; and Ii may

A STREET SENSATION.

Mad Bulls I'm the Streets of HObOIKen.
Unusual excitement prevailed in Hoboken on
Sunday, owing to the escape of eight mad
steers from the slaughter-bouse in Grove street,
Jersey City, which ran furiously along Ferry
street. They suddenly turned into William
street, and entered the large square just as the
large congregation were leaving st. Mary's
Church, near by. The terror of the people
became indescribable. Men, women and children
rushed frantically down the side streets, many
of them falling frequently in their flight. One
of the animals raced towards man crossing
the square, but the latter fortunately tell, and
the steer swept over him without injuring him.
Three of the beasts took different courses, and
one of them was set upon by citizens and
despatched with knives and clubs. Another was
hemmed in at lumber yard and killed with a
carving knife while he was piAned to the
ground. The five steers hurried through Wash
ington street towards Weehawken, spreading
CONSERVATION on all sides. The pedestrians
took refuge behind the fences and trees, while
policemen pursued the animals The latter faced
towards Hoboken again, but by the time they
reached Seventh street they were either ex-
hausted or killed.
