THE QUESTION OF JURISDICTION,
Correspondence defsoeen Governor Parker of Neu
Jersey and Goue'nor Ponder Of Delaoayc

State Of New Jersey, Executive Department.
TRENTON, May 9th, 1872
His Exccllency JAS. PONDER,
Governor OF the State of Delaware.
SIR:-l have received information that ".
W. Prltchett, constable residing at WiImiaa
ton, in the State of Delaware, accompanied Ly
an armed POSE, on the second day Of MAY,
instant, embarked on the steam tug, Falcon,
proceeded to the eastern portion Of the river
Delaware, and there arrested TWENTY-FIVE citi-
zens Of New Jersey, while engaged IN the bust.
ness Of fishing, and carried them as prisoners 10
Delaware. ! am further informed that the ar
rests were made by advice Of the Attorney. Gen,
eral Of Delaware, under the claim that the place
Of arrest was within the jurisdiction Of that
State, and because the persons arrested were
there pursuing this business without the license
Of Delaware.
l am aware that a grant by the State Of Della
ware to the United States Of pea Patch Island"
was, in the year 1S4S, decided by the 4 rhitra
| tor chosen by the United States and Mr.. Hum
phrey, to he valid. New jersey was not parry
to that litigation, nor was she represented by
counsel. This State has never considered that
the opinion Of the Arbitrator in that submission
decided, even incidentally, the boundary and
jurisdiction Of the respective States Neither
|
Delaware made tile practical claim, from the
effects Of which many respectable and lndusri
GUS citizens Of this State are suffering. This is
the first time that an attempt has heen made by
the authorities Of Delaware to interrupt the
business Of fishing on the eastern side of III.
river.
Being confident that the State Of Delawar,
does not desire that proceedings, such az thoS'
herein complained Of should be continued any
further than to aAsert her claim aud put il il
course Of judicial termination, and this Stat
being anxious to submit the question to tn
proper legal tribunal at as early period a
, practicable, trust that the authorities of Della
ware will abstain from further attempts t
practically enforce her clair, Of jurisdiction
until decision Of the Supreme Court Of tn
United States shall settle the controversy.
D Believing that the arrest Of citizens of Me-
8 Jersey, made as herein before stated, was a
o infringement upon the rightful authority all
jurisdiction Of this State, I have issued pro
clamation "a copy Of which herewith sci,
you) which, while it asserts the claim Of Ne
Jersey to jurisdiction over the eastern half
the Delaware river. and warns all persons
u refrain from arresting any persons there will
z out legal process from the proper authority
70 this State, and from nlolesting or disturbir
., citizens there in pursllt ofa lawful occupatio
is also calls upon all citizens Of New Jersey
:. abstain from acts OF violence
Trusting that the spirit ofAcomity which di
10 tates this, will No be met by your Excellenc
10 that the public peace may not be disturbed al
al that the question may be submitted to judici
- decision.

Eniiehten mont In Japan.

A Standing Outrage Of Three Centuries Removed
the Edicts Against Christdnity Thing Of
the Past.
YOKOHAMA, Japan. April 2s.-By Imperial de-
cree the renno OF japan has abolished all edlcts
directed against Christianity. which hav. boon IN
force over three centuries. This is the voluntary
act Of generous and enlightened sovereign, who.
scrupuIously regarding the interests and safety OF
his people, resents any foreign dictat,on touching
the internal affairs of his empire. but willingly
sspires to lead them in his own way as rapidly a.
is consistent with the nature Of radical changes
towards the full benefit of uniform civilization
with scientifically developed nations
This result has been delayed by frequent embar-
rassment, which the government encountered
from the persistent interference of certain foreign
missionaries, who systematically baptissi crimi-
mails convicted of iunmous crimes, and then At
BY raising criea Of Christian persecution and nvo-
king foreign interference It is hoped nothing o.
the sort will occur again.

Tuv New York Wor! takes strong groun d
against the endorsement Of Greeley by the Dem
ocr.tic National Convention. II says: ''The ex-
pectstion that As Democratic party will nomi-
nate Horace Greeley (of eli men y tor President.
feel it o." !
"Ths chief and controlling reason why the
Democratic party cannot. and TtU not, nominate
Mr. Greeley 10. that, OF all the public men Of the
country with any kind ot pretensons to the Presi-
dsncy. hs 10 the very farthsst from representing

"Even il there were no other reason for reject

THE HOSE COMPANIES AND TIE LATE
FIEE-We are informed that Hope Hose
No >, took water from TUE ARGUS Office
corner, having some difficulty in getting
water from the proper hydrant. They
were the first to give the alarm to the wa
ter works ID Ward This was the first
time the alarm was given correct from any
ward. After getting the hose stretched
out which took minutes, and getting a
full stream they played on the rear Of
Blackburn book store Then, after dis
covering the fire breaking out on the gal
lery of Levy and Gaylord premises they
climbed up pair of slippery stairs and
having played on the fire there for some
thing like an hour they pulled out the
hose and about men played on the for
mer point. and worked backwards and for
wards in that way in water and snow
ankle deep for some 4 or hours until the
fire was extinguished, One man, of the
name of Daniel Crowley irOze both ears ana
his left hand. John Stauback froze both
feet Daniel Corkin froze both feet. Jim
johnson fr1ze his fingers badly. And
others were more or less sufferers from the
intense severity of the weather The
boys nevertheless went to work again,
Sunday morning like men chopped out
their hose, coiled it up behind the Rock
Island House and Monday hauled it away
to the engine house and are ready for
active service again.
The Wideawake Hose Co., No. /.
were, however, the first to throw water
upon the fire. This was before the signal
was received at the Water Works Much
praise is awarded by all to Walter Dau-
Der, Of the Wideawakes for his extraor-
binary and well-directed efforts towards
Distinguishing the fire
/ 1t is suggested to us that it might be as
well to keep a greater pressure ON at the
works these extra cold nights than in
milder weather, because as we have to
keep up more and hotter fires on cold
nights than on mild ones, the danger is
greater and the difficulty of its suppress
sion greater from obvious causes.
II is also suggested that more plug
wrenches are desirable.
These are matters for the Council to
consider, and do what shall be deemed best
