The country no doubt siews with
great satisfaction The prospect Of ratifica-
ton by The SENATE Of The treaty with
Great Britain, and the amicable and hon
orable adjustment of our differences with
that Government. AS no calamity could
we'll be greater than war between Eng
land and ourselves, so no one act of
President Grants administration will be
more grateful 10 the people than the
satisfactory solution of the questions
which are in dispute between us.
The leading points of the treaty have
been given to the public, and whilst
there have been concessions to the other
side, the main advantages are clearly
with the United States. We gain our
whole point on The Alabama question,
including a confession OF culpable negli-
gence and an expression of regret on the
part of the British Government. We
gain an acknowledgements of liability
for such acts rs the St. Adams raid,
withou; the assertion of counter claim
because of the Fenan raids on Canada.
! the concession we have bad to make Is
the admission of liability for cotton, the
bona fide property of British owners not
residing in the south, which was seized
by the Union forces, The restrictions
hedging in these claims are suclr that the
whole amount is said to be nconsideT.
able compared with the admitted claims
from our side. The fishery dispute is
settled on fair and equitable basis
We can scarcely set up just claim to
the insEore fisheries of Canada. without
giving reciprocal rights to the Canadians
on a portions of our own coast. The
question whether we have the balance Of
advantage, and should pay for it. is q
disputed one. but surely there could moi
be fairer way of settling it than leaving
the subject to commission.
The navigation provisions are also or
the fair basis of according equal right:
on the great water highway from Chi
cage TO the seaboard, to The flag of both
nations, in other words. the free naviga'
ton of The ST. Lawrence, which is g
matter of great interest TO the Western
States, rs Montreal has become grea
wheat market as against, or in rivalry
with Chicago, Buffalo and New York
city. We also get the use of the Cana
dian canals by payment of the regula,
tolls
The San Juan Boundary question ha,
been left 10 the final arbitration of the
German Emperor, who wi II assuredIy
have no disposition TO warp the evidence
TO our disadvantage.
Such is the outline and substance O
the famous treaty; and although it viii
be found TO be moro in the shape of pre-
liminaries, than Of facts accomplished
yet the good temper displayed on botl
sides, and the careful provisions made
to secure impartial decisions upon points
left open, show sincere desire for peace
which will no doubt result in a perma
nent treaty satisfactory TO the American
people.-La Crosse Leader.

FRANCE.-The French blood carnival
still RACES in and around Paris. Slowly
and surely the VersaiIIist forces are be
coming masters of the situation. Sever
al Of the forts have been assaulted and
taken. The Communist leaders are re
sorting to the harshest measures to sus
tain their lettering power. Every man
is pressed into th e ranks. and those who
will not fight are led 10 prison by guards
of women. Law in Paris now, is but
the will of a mob.
From the kilograms of yesterday we
learn that thirty thousand men are in the
BOis de Boulogne, sheltered by the

suddenly twenty eight shells Lurstec

on Thursday brought up from Winona
and intermediate points, by the steamer
Imperial and barges, cargo Of wheat
and -four to tits port. The cargo, filling
thirty freight cars. goes by rail to Du
Iuth. thence by the Lakes to the east -
In May, l847, almost quarter of a
century ago, Mr.. Hall landed the first
barrel of -four ever brought to this re
gion, upon the bank of The Mississippi
within the limit of ST. Paul. OF course
there was no city here then. and nc
reason 10 believe there ever would be
one. The struggle then was to get the
flour from the east 10 the west. Now
the effort is to find the cheapest and
most expeditions means of getting it tc
the east. Instead of wild forest, Mr.
Hall now finds here rapidly growing
city, with great hopes and expectations
accompanied with sufficient reasons for
believing that those hopes and will bC
fulfilled and those expectations fully real
