The Joint High Commission win pro.
ceed with its sessions at II o'clock To-
day. No length has been fixed for their
daily sessions yet, as their IS a general
desire on the part Of the members, they
win probably make the most Of their
time. An agreement has been made that
the proceedings and decisions Of the
Commission shall be kept entirely secret
until finally shaped and sent to the SEN
ate for ratification. It may, however, be
safely asserted that a comparison OF fviews
has thus far disclosed NO unsurmountable
obstacle to the questions at issue, and the
members now feel more sanguine of sue.
cess than before the meeting. 1t would
be impossible to say yet how much time
the negotiations will occupy, but one Of
the Commission predicted to-day that
their work would be completed by the
middle Of April. If the Senate should
not then be IN session, It Is thought the
President will call 1t together for the pur-
pose Of sitting on the result Of the Com
missions labors. The Commission Is now

this matter will be adjusted by allowing
Americans to fish in all Canadian waters,

payment Of a sum OF money to beagreed

The movement of full packages from first

lation Of any line of goods has been unim port.
ant during the week under review. Jobbers
have not done very spirited trade, especially
IN domestics, and are not purchasing yery
heavily at the moment, but the commission
houses are delivering, in many instances, on
orders placed earlier in the month. The heavy
trade is probably over for this season, but there
are favorable prospects for an active sorting uo
traoe well into the summer months. The mar
ket is very firm in all domestic fabrics.
Bleached sheetings and shirtings are without
notable change since our last review. Prints
nave sold about as freely as during the previ.
ous week, and the stock is still kept we'll under
control. The rise in cloths tends, of course.
to give buoyancy to the market and helps to
sustain prices. Cassimeres have been in steady
request in light weights. There has been a
lairly active jobbing trade doing in all classes
Of improved goods.

As Mrs. c. V. Usher, principal of The
intermediate school on Twentieth street.
came out from school yesterday, accom- :
panied by her assistant, on their way
home, and had proceeded as far as Main
street, street csr was passing in the disec-
tlon they wished to take. 1t rained heav-
lily at the time and Mrs. U. and her asss-
tant entered the car, and had proceeded
ABOUT square, when the car was stopped
and Mrs. U. directed to leave it. This she
refused to do, both on account of the rain
and also, perhaps, on account Of a Just
feeling of indignation at the outrage of
requiring her TO leave the car under such
or any other circumstances. The gallant
police Of the city were sent for, and rushed
with shouts to the scene, and three of them
with oaths and violence seized Mrs. Usher
and dragged her from the car, through the
rain and mud, to the station-house.
Here she was rudely treated by the off.
Ger IN charge, and ordered TO cell. When
the door of the cell was opened, she saw
the attempt was being made to place her
In the same cell with a male prisoner. -
She objected, and the attempt was made to |
force her vith:n the cell but hes strug-
ges and opposition were so violent that the |
officer in charge directed her to be placed |
in the next cell, which was unoccuped
but filthy with offal of the vilest descrip-
tion. In this place she was confned until
friends could be summoned, when she was
released on bail of 500, to appear at 0
clock this morning Justice White, on
hearing the circumstances, promptly dis.
missed the case.
In regard to the lady thus outrageously
reated by the legalized ruff anism of the
'lty othclals-and who still carries marks
u their brutality-we learn from most au.
hentlc sources she is native of New
York State, of good social position, high
ulture, being graduate of the New York
'tate Normal School, and of the most cor
ect manners aud deportment--in short, a
ady IN the best sense of that term, and in
IL respects the superior OF her prosecutors.
We fell sure that this will not be the
nd OF this case. and trust it may result in
the foolish and outrageous re.
friction ia regard to color made by the.
treet Railway company and enforced by
'e official bullies of this city.

PETERSBURG, April 27.
Here is choice specimen of the style O
argument" in frequent'uss in other day,
by the Democracy, whenever beaten in thu
legitimate field of Controversy. This is
what the Courier says Of our letter, re-
viewing his comments on Colonel Platt's
speech;
In our editorial career we have dealt courte.
eusly by all men, whether white or black. Con.
servative or Republican, and are determined
mat all men shall deal by US in the same spirit.
AS for the idle threat about being called to an
account we treat it with scorn, but desire to
say that If Mr.. Occasionally" ever dares to
ayow his real name he will get his cont empti.
Die face smacked as reward for his trouble in
this matter.
80, no 1t makes quite difference
whether it is your OK or mine that is
gored. 1t is all very we'll for the local COL
umns of Democratic papers to team with
personal abuse of sRadicals." "carpet- bao-
gers" and "scalawags." but the sacred per-
son OF Democrat must be spared, even
when you turn his own guns upon him.
Those of US who have been reading the
Courier for the past year or more will be
glad to learn that Republicans are to
be courteously dealt by. The editor NAV
be sure that he shall be met in the same
spirit
But, really, we cannot see the occasion
for our neighbor to fly into such passion.
We must advise him to keep cool. Hot
weather is approaching and an election ia
at hand, and if we get our blood up so ear
ly in the season and in the contest, where
will we be before it is all over?
For several days past, there has been a
government vessel, belonging to the coast
survey, laying at anchor opposite City
Point: An examination is being made of |
the river between certain points, with a |
view to triangulating the same, and in |
the report thereof for the bureau

A meeting of the Republican Executive
Committee was held at the courthouse 10

lug recommendation to fill the vacancy
OF assessor of Internal revenue for the Sc
cond district, occasioned by the death of

In nomination, but the choice finally fell
upon Col. Robert Boiling, who will make
most faithful and excellent officer.
Sam Coliyer yesterday walked from
Richmond to Petersburg, distance of
1wenty-two miles, for purse of 5000, in

ABOUT two years ago vein of coal at
Yatesville, near Pittston, Pa, was acci-
dentally or designedly set on fire, and has
been burning ever since. Last week the
fire semed to be increasing in extent and
intensity, the volume of smoke being ex-
tremely large and heavy. During the
past winter snow has melted upon the
spot as rapidly as it fell, and a bare space
OF about an acre in extent has offered
strange contrast to the surrounding m mantle
OF white. The ultimate result of the SUBJ

Never before in the history Of this country

OUR PAPER.

Our numerous friends will be pleased to
learn, as it is gratifying to us to state, that
the STATE JOURNAL is rapidly gaining
in favor with the public. The advertising
patronage is steadily increasing, while the
circulation is growing beyond our antici-
patton. In few days, we shall present
the paper in new dress, and endeavor to
make it the handsomest sheet in the State.
Our WEEKLY will be largely increased in
size. and will be emphatically welcome
visitor to every home circle. 1t shall con-
tain choice reading matter offensive to
none, and of character to instruct and
interest. ngas
In giving these encouraging statements
to the public, we desire to reiterate the
sentiments contained in our prospectus
published in another column. While we
shall be bold and Independent in express
sion, we shall hope to give no needless Of
fence, and shall try to be accurate 10 our
statements Of facts and glad to make cor
rections where we inadvertently do inius-
tice.
One OF the most gratifying facts con-
nected with our paper, is the warm and
cordial interest with which the mechanics
md the workingmen generally are ex-
libitng towards it. They find it to con-
ain sentiments which accord with their
prosperity and advancement, and, there
ore, being independent themselves, they
re disposed to sustain it as far as they are
ble so to do. We can promise them that
the future, as in the past, our labors for
heir welfare will be continued until they
scend to that position which their inteli-
ence and worth entitle them to occupy.
