SEINE THE FIRST, ESDED.

Common JailGfs Carpenter and Conking
failed in part Of their great purpose, yester-
day, but succeeded in carrying through the
Senate by small majOritics, over the pro-
tests and vO ca OF the oldest and ablest mem
bers, Their resolutions of persecution against
the correspondents of The TRIBUNE, for the
publication OF Treaty wherein the whole
country was vitality Interested, which was not
in tho exclusive possession of the Senate, and
about our receipt of which Senators only knew
that it did not come from their body, or from
any person or persons over whom they had
the slightest power.
There are some grave aspects of this utterly
unwarranted assumption of power, only paral-
Icled by the equal zeal of MesSrs. COnkling's
and Carpenters predecessors, the author OF
tho Fugitive Slave Law and his allies, i'll the
John Brown persecution, to which the atten-
ton of tho press Of the country is already
aroused, and to which we shall not fail to
advert. Meantime it is to be noted that the
Senate has utterly failed to get what it wants,
Just as it will utterly fail to the end OF the
chapter. Oar representatives freely gave all
the information it had any shadow of claim
for. They will give no more; and they can
afford ali that follows UNNECESSARILY better
than can the Senate of the United States.
But somebody must tell where TIE TRIBUNE'S
copy of the Treaty came from, or Messrs.
C0nkling and Carpenter will die of spleen.
Well, then, suppose they try the recalcitrant
Bancroft Davis. We earnestly advise bringing
him to the bar Of the Senate for the contempt
he has already shown in failing to appear.
Then let them try brace OF two of the
English Commissioners. And next let us
have Secretary Fish brought to the mark His
guilt is already established, and will go nigh
TO be thought so shortly; for did he not give
out point after point of tho Treaty, till finally
he placed a copy of it bodily before the eyes
of the editor OF TIE Washington Republican,
and babe him praise After the genial
Fish, Minister Schenck would be q
nice, amiable man for the Senators, ex-
haustcd with the contumacious White and
Ramsdcl, to fall back upon. And then they
might get q score of clerks and attaches,
English, Canadian, and Yankee.
AS for tho ratification of the Treaty, that can
wait. 1t is an affair of no consequence. But
let us have the Common Jail crowded for forty
years, Carpenter and Conkling nobly relieving
each other Oh guard the while, till from the
culprit's breast is wrenched the mOnstrous
secret, Who gave the People Of the
United States, through TIE TRIBUNE, docu
ment their servants lad made for them, where
in they were yitally interested, and the con-
tents of which they had right to know and
pass judgment upOn To your work. great
dous task be done. And again we wish you
10Y of II.

The Communists evidently mean 10 conduct
poor Paris out of the frying-pan into the fire.
They will not submit to the Versailles Gov
ernment, although repeatedly assured that in
the event of NJ. Thiers's failure TO capture
them their old enemy, the Germans. will be
upon them. This assurance has again been
repeated, and this time i'll very positive terms,
as the result of Council of War. Tuesday
next is fixed for the occupation, which is
to be made by force if necessary. or
course the foolish fellows could make
no organized or determined resistance
to the Germans, and for this reason The city
will probably fare better in submitting to the
Germans than in resisting the French. But it
may have to do both, and suffer in blOOdsheG
and humiliation too. No assault of the walls
appears to have been made yesterday. but the
reported massing of large forces before Passy
indicates tie determination of MacMahon to
force the breach already made at the Muette
gate. Such an operation will be bloody, but 1t
cannot be considered doubtful Of result.

The Foster trial will at least serve ~ ~

the whole week has been spent IN coiioo'n's

of the most notorious and terrible crimes OF

Thus far only eleven jurors have been found,

Dignity. Therefore the popular will demands
that White and Ramsdell shall be imprisoned
on bread and water for forty years. The logic
of which, you SEQ, il Irresistible. These stern
loeicians are the stuff of which the greatest
statesmen are always made. And then from
these fundamental principles OF law how easily

Perhaps Mr.. Carpenter would not care so
much about the premature publication OF the

The tables of the population of the several

foreign born population in the State is less
than in 1885. In all the Giles and towns,
except New-Yofk, which, unfortunately, is
,nreporcd for 1870 there were in 1870,
G1l5s5 foreign born; in 1870 the number
was 1869. The native born citizens have
Increased from 22O9,414 to 2.nG,472. The for

The population of the state, outside Of New

81. slil, including this city, the proportion of
ihe population of foreign parentage is prob

ENGLISH AND CANADIAN OPINION or


THE TREATY..
While the Senate is engaged in its silly
business of delaying the ratification of the
Treaty of Washington by prosecuting the cor
respondents of THE TRIBUNE, at the instiga-
ton of petty malice and spite, the press OF
England and the Provinces are earnestly en-
gagged in the discussion of its provisions The
reception it meets with depends rigidly
upon the political complexion of the par
tisap or the journal which discusses it.
The adherents of the Government, as
general thing, speak warmly of the
Treaty as composed of mutually advantageous
and honorable concessions. Tie Toronto
Ieader, the recognized organ OF the Govern
ment of the Dominion, has no hesitation In
making known the great importance which it
attaches to the ratification OF the Treaty. 1t
refers to the unsatisfactory state of the rela-
lions which have existed between the
Dominion and the Union since the
depunciation of the Reciprocity Treaty. The
only cain to Canada had been the resumption
Of her sovereignty over the Fisheries, but this
was possession which brought more trouble
and exnense than il was worth. On the other
hand the conflicts which were continually
arising between the Canadian authorities and
tbe American fishermen kept the public mind
in constant perturbation, and were sure TO lead,
sooner or later to the most serious compica-
tions There WAS a continual danger also that
the transfer of bonded goods from Portland
might be at any moment interiered with by
tbe United States. The Canadian journal
argues that this would be Injurious also 10 inc
United STAGES, though in Il less degree thal 10
the people of the Dominion. IL is very evident
that The tone of General Grants MESSAGE, I'D
regard TO our differences with Canada, PRODUCES
