BRIGGS Pile Remedies are success.

THE HERALD AND THE PRESIDENTIAL cor
respondent of the N. Y. Herald claims to have
had an in erview with President Grant at Long
Branch Friday. The matter talked of most
was the Washington treaty. President Grant
said that he had been very anxious for the sue
cess OF the Commission as its failure to arrive
at plan of adjustment must result 10 war.
This the Southern ultIa-leaders were anxious
to have, as it would give them an opportunity
to secure a rehearing of the lost cause by the
country being involved with England. OF the
merits of the treaty the President said:
1t is, in my judgment. the best settlement of
the outstanding differences between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain. Every article of
the treaty was submitted TO me after it was
adopted by the Commission and approved by
me, aud each article was in the same way SUBJ
mitted to the British Cabinet and approved by
the Ministers of the Crown at once The Eng
lish Commissioners spent great deal of mon
ey in telegraphing sections of the treaty. The
Queen of ENGLAND pledged her signature be-
practically ratified. Measures will have to be
adopted on both sides to carry out the proyis-
ions of the treaty. Our House of Representa-
tives will, feel certain, act periodically and
wisely in the matter.
The treaty must be ratified and made the law
of both nations. The necessity is immediate.
As far as we are concerned we would like to
have better terms But there were two parties
TO the bargain The point aimed at was not
merely pecuniary settlement for losses by the
Alabama, but the settlement of irritating and
disturbing questions likely, any day, to bring
the two Dations into armed conflict. My aim
was by this treaty to secure peace through JUS
tice. and believe, have succeeded.
No apprehension need be felt as to the course
of the British people. would regard it as a.:
act of bad faith their part to reject the treaty
| after its almost unanimous acceptance by our
| Senate. The English must surely prefer fair
| settlement of our differences with them, for
| which this treaty provides, than to nurse the
cause of war. A settlement or war were the
| alternatives.
In reply to the remark that the Canadians
did not seem pleased with the treaty, the Pres
| ident said:
They will be reconciled to it by and by The
fishery clauses of the treaty are as favorable to
| them as they are TO us.-perhaps more So
| will be glad II they settle the matter at once
and be done with it. The Canadian fisheries
| don't amount to much for US while the equva
| lent We graut must be considerable to them
| don't at 'ach much Importance to the pecunia
| ry considerations one way or the other. The
| pith of the thing is the avoidance of war.

PORTLAND FRATERNITY.-lt was encourage
ing to greet the large and fashionable audience
which was assembled at the hall of the Frater-
nifty on Saturday evening, for it proved con-
clusively that our citizens are at least begin
ming to understand that these entertainments
are worthy of very liberal patronage. The
entertainment was OF very pleasing charac-
ter, and there seemed to be a magnetic sympa-
thy between the performers and the audience
which added greatly to the interest of the oc-
casion. Both the vocal and instrumental Sc
lections VT re very finely executed, and nearly
every piece received aAencore. Where all did
SO well, it may seem invidiOus to particularize /;
but we cannot refrain from mentioning the SUI
perior manner in which Mrs. Wetberbee rem
derel the sweet and pathetic love song of
Bonnie Alice Lee" IL created such an en-
thusasm that in response to an encore, she
was obliged to repeat it, The other more
prominent features of the entertainment were
the piano duet, by Mrs. Thompson and Miss
Hemingway, and the "Spinning Wheel" which
Was charmingly rendered by Miss Boyd. The
chorus entitled sob it is pleasant" by five fe-
male voices, formed fitting conclusion to the
evenings entertainment. We should not for.
get to mention the comic duet by MIR. Shaw
and Mrs. Wetherbee, which was enthusically
appanded .-
We would suggest that the next entertain.

DEAR SIR, 4 have read in the morning and
evening papers the articles in relation to the
appropriation made Tor aquatics and entirely
agree with the writers, that the sum thus so
generously and unasked fol, set aside by the city
government, is entirely nncalled for, as fal as
we are concerned, and that the money can be
used to better purposes in the way of process
ions, etc. Should it be the wish Of The citi-
zens of Portland, however, to witness regat-
ia by the Portland Yacht Club, any communi-
cation sent to the Commodore by the city gov
eminent or by the citizens OF Portland, will be
most respectfully received and entertained by
the club, who no doubt will be most willing to
contribute their share towards the festivities of
the day, and thus leave handsome sum Tor
fireworks, music, &c. by which people can be
induced to stay in the city and congregate to-
gether in way that will induce them to at
tend the next celebration of our national indie

iscences of the day.
