A CoLoRED MAN KILLED AT
DoRN's MINE, "A colored man
named Jack Brown, was killed at
Dorn's Mine on last "Wednesday
night, by a pistol shot, which passed
through his lungs. According to
the testimony before a Coroner's
inquest, held on. the next day by
ESQ. James McCaslan, he occupied
one end of double log-cabin, and
the inmates of the other end heard
the shot, and the cry Of the MUIR
dercd man, and the falling of his
body, but did not learn of his death
till next morning, when the dead
BODY was discovered. The whole
matter is involved in mystery. A
white man, named Lewis Banks,
has been arrested for the murder,
but the circumstances amount only,
we learn, to some grounds Of sus-
picion. Neither Banks nor Brown
went to the election on Wednesday,
and there was no known i'll will
between them, and certainly no po-
litical quarrel. Whatever the
cause, and whoever the perpetrator
of the crime, there was certainly no
connection with politics iu the
affair.

TELEGRAM 70 THE NEW YORK HERALD.


The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our cores
pendent in the capital Of Great Britain:-
LONDON, May 81, 1872.
The English papers continue to discuss the
Washington Treaty and the supplemental
article thereto with undiminished interest.
The editorial articles just published are,
generally speaking, inspired by wish to pre-
vent failure of the Geneva Arbitration and to
save the treaty.
A VIGOROUS opposITIoN-wmCH NATION SHALL
''EAT THE LEEK?''
An article, expressed in a contrary sense,
is printed by the PcN 1IcU Gazette in its issue
this evening. The effort is remarkable for its
truthful and just appreciation Of the danger
Of endeavoring to save the treaty at the ex-
pense of national susceptibility and propriety.
forward the following extract
''The whole drift of public feeling and opin-
ion in England justifes us in saying that the
worst thing to do with the treaty is to save it.
Saving the treaty means offence and humila-
tion-to America, or to England, or to both
nations. 1t means the renewal and not
the abatement of the ill-felling it was in
tended to allay. How to save the treaty
means who shall eat the leek' or whether some
means cannot be invented whereby both par
ties shall agree to eat it in each other s
presence. The American papers appear to
exclaim against the adoption of the supple
mentary article. Here most of them express
but opinion; that its acceptance would be
discreditable and dangerous. Both peoples
would be paciied and content at once if the
treaty and the negotiations connected with it
were dropped as an irremediable blunder, for
which the two governments are alone to blame
This is the proper fate of the treaty, and
the only safe and peaceful way Of disrosing
of it."
POPULAR ADOLESCENCE TO THE PRESS pRIN-
This newspaper article states exactly the
situation as it exists in England 1t is just
expression of the best English opinion now
prevalent on the subject 1t is certain that
the persons-bankers, financial agents and
others-who are determined to save the
Washington Treaty at whatever cost with
out regard to national dignity or national
honor are bringing about dangerous compli-
cation. 1t is the same with those
unwise politicians who are willing
to make party capital out Of the
international difficulty. Further negotiation
on The treaty viii only serve to continue state
of irritation that may eventually put two
proud nations in an attitude from which war
can DO the only possible issue.
THE PROPER TREATMENT OF TIE TREATY.
The Washington Treaty should be dropped
Immediately for the sake of national amity,
good will and peace.
