according to the terms of policy, as issued
by life assurance company to any members
of our militia regiments it Is necessary to
obtain permit from the company before the
holder can act in his military capacity, so that
his insurance may not be vtiated. The inter-
est that must naturally attach to this question,
and the unhappy killing Of Sergeant Samuel
Wyatt and Mr. Henry c. Page in the perform
ance Of their duty with the Ninth regiment
last Wednesday, have led us to make inquiry
at the Equitable Life Assurance Society, in
which Mr.. Wyatt was insured. We ascer-
aimed that permit to serve in military
capacity for the suppression Of riots is by no
means necessary; that II asked for It is
granted, but it is not made q requirement by

A NRw CANDIDATE for the Presidency has
turned up in Connecticut in the person Of some
one who bears the rather familiar name Of
Pierce. He promises that if elected ''no min

man of peace, and might suit some party whose
''war cry" is LET US have peace"

CANADIAN VIEW OF THE TREATY OF WASH
ISeToN Governor Macdonald, late Minis
ter of Public Works of the Dominion of
Canada, has written letter to his constitu-
ents in support Of the Treaty Of Washington.
He contends that, the treaty having been rat-
fled by both Great Britain and the United
States, ii has the force OF law, and conse-
quently no further legislation il necessary
to carry il into effect. He SAYS, further,
that Canada has no power 10 reverse
The policy OF the home government.
and must quietly submit to the conditions
of the treaty, unless she is prepared to sever
her connection with the empire. As the ex-
Governor is a leader of the opposition bis
opinions are entitled 10 great weight, and may
be fairly taken as the index Of the sentiments Of
his party toward the treaty. Little doubt can,
therefore, be entertained that the Canadian
Parliament will, with great unanimity, pass
the law necessary to carry the contract be-
tween the two nations into effect.
TIE ALBANY Argus defends Governor
Hoffman from the assaults Of the Eocniag
Journal for his tarjiness in issuing bis pro-
clamation, and says
The hearts OF the people are filled with gratitude
to the Governor; and yet partisan press reyilcs
him for the brightest acts IN nus career. Pubic
opinion VIII soon ADJUST the balance. and the honest
magistrate VIII rise IN the scale as last dishonest
press SINKS.
The Governor seems to stand between two
Ores In this matter-one for issuing the proclS-
nation at all, and the other for not issuing IL
more promptly. Time will set that act all
right and award due honor to our patriotic
Governor for the courage be has displayed in
the Las unfortunate emergency.

COMMERCIAL TRAyELLERs.-General But
ler's bill, reported from the Judiciary Com
mlttee yesterday, to regulate the trade and
commerce between the States and Terrific
tories of the United States, will be of inter-
est to New York merchants, and especially
to commercial travellers and agents. 1t
provides that trade and commerce between
the several States and Territories of the
United States shall be free and unrestricted,
and no tax, duty, or transit fee, shall be
laid on any articles or property exported
from any State or Territory into or through
any other State or Territory, any act or res
olution of any State or Territorial Legisla-
ture to the contrary Notwithstanding. 1t
further provides that no State or Territorial
Legislature shall hereafter, by act, resolu-
ton, or otherwise, deny free transit and
right to sell any goods. property, or mer-
chandise belonging to the citizens Of any
State or Territory of the United States,
which denial is not imposed by the laws of
the same State or Territory on its own citi-
zens. Mr.. Loughridge has offered an amend
ment to this bill, which provides that it
shall be unlawful for any railroad company
carrying freight in transit from one State to
another to discriminate in the rates in favor
of or against different sections, but all rates
charged for carrying such freight shall be
unlform.-Ne11 York Tribune.

The BORE OF THE INCOME TAx.-The
Springfield Republican is faceticus Over the
repeated illusions to the income tax. 1t
says
We give it up. There are only 100000
people out of our 40,000,000 who are left,
by the modified law, to pay taxes on in
comes-that is one in every four thousand.
But that one is altogether too lively for us.
We can pay our income assessment cheer
fully; but when to that is added about S. a
day for tolls on Geographic dispatches from
Washington, which this one four-thou.
sandth part Of the United States keeps up
in exposition of its grievances, and the ways
and means whereby he is seeking relief from
them, we are overcome. Mr.. One Four
Thousandth is too much for us.
We bad rather pay our money for LAWYER
and Fisk, or Lavender and Halsted news
The salt discussion in the Tribune and
World is more cheerful reading. 1t is bet
ter, even, as an intellectual exercise, to sur
study out one Of the Latin editorials of the
World, than to read day in and day out
what Mr.. Kellogg has done about the in
come tax, what Mr.. Pleasanton thinks,
what Mr.. Boutwell, protests, what the com.
mittees are going to do, which side Grant
is on, and all about this terrible outrage
upon the pockets of one hundred thousand
citizens Of this great nation, who are so for.
tunate as to have incomes Of over s, 900 a
year, and go honest as to confess 1t. And
when to reading comes the paying for cor
respondents to rewrite, and the telegraph
tor sending q daily bulletin of this sort, we
confess we can't stand it. Perish the tax,
rather than that this thing shall 80 on.

BALTIMORE AND PoToMAc RAELRoAp.-
The Prince Georgian promises that the

railroad will positively commence with the
first opening of the spring. A number of
cross-tles, cut In Prince Georges county,
have already been delivered along the line
of the road, and others from North Caro-

intersection Of the Baltimore and Potomac
road and the Elkridge road by the latter
company.
Captain Henry Fl. Carter, the resident
engineer of the road in Prince Georges

will be situated about three miles apart,
and besides the one at Mr.. HIPS, the two
nearest to Upper Marlboro will be at Will

about three-fourths ola mile per day, which
will bring the road to Upper Marlboro du-

Cured to me that Mickey had taken it, but
nothing could be found of it on this side OF
the river.
A search was instituted, which did not
result in finding poor "Mickey," until he
was finally discovered below the Falls upon
n small stack of logs. midway between The
cataract and Spirit Island. The next ques-
ton was az to how he should be rescued, as
no boat and no man could succeed in reach
ing him over the rapid current. a long
rope was firmly attached to barrel and

His rescuers told him to fasten the rope
around his body, and they would haul him
ashore. Mickey deliberately made moose
and slipped it over his head. After some
instructions. he finally succeeded in prop.
arly fastening it around his body, and
plunged into the current, which was so
strong that 1t revolved him around score
of times until he finally reached the shore.
After clearing himself OF water, he coolly
put his hand into his pocket and drew
forth partly-flled bottle. and remarked,
"B'vs, I'll wees have dhrnk?" Taking

story of his having detached the boat and
