a decision has been rendered du
ring: the past week under the Treat,
OF Washington, which takes ava,
from tho politician the last bone O
contention between England and
tie United States. The Empero,
of Germany has decided the North.
west boundary question in favor of
United States. The Administration
having telegraphed its thanks for
the care and attention bestowed by
Germany upon this vexatious ques-
ton, and the English press having
had its final grumble over what
they would call in France the
''treachery" of the Emperor, the
San Juan difficulty may be said to
be at an end. The question practi-
cally was this: whether, under the
Treaty of 1916, which established
the boundary between the United
States and British America, the
cluster of islands (of which San Ju-
an is one, and the most signi6cant)
lying east of tho Haro channel, be-
tween Vancouver's Island and the
mainland, belonged to Great Bri-
tain or the United States. It was
q question of the Interpretation of
a very loosely worded instrumet,
relating to q matter not of vital i'm
portance to either country, a. any
one can see by looking at the map.
As a difficulty" it had some value,
for it furnished a means of intelii-
occupation to diplomats of
both countries, and would have af-
a convenient casus beM to

wanted. It is q relief to have it out

A Question for %GrammarianS

The Hudson Register deals humor-
ously with a question of grammar
as follows:
A searchcr after truths writes to
ask US which is grammatically cor
rect to say 'the house is building
or "the house is being built" the
street is paving" or 'the street isbe-
ing paved?" There is a wide diversi-
ty of opinion upon this subject; but
we incline to favor lis being built
for the following reasons: Suppose
you wish to express another kind of
idea, would you say, for instance,
Johnny is spanking" or "Johnnyis
being spanked ?" The difference
to you may seem immaterial but it
is a matter of considerable impor-
lance to Johnny; and it is probable
that, if any choice were given him,
he would suddenly selectthe former
alternative. You say again thst the
missionary is eating" Certainly
this expresses a very different and
much pleasanter idea than the form:
1.-THE missionary is being eaten;'
and the sensation is very different
for the missionary too. We have
consulted several missionaries about
it, and they all seem to think that
the two things are somehow not the
same, no matter what the gramma-
rians say.
But it is to be confessed that
there are occasions when the differ
ence in the form is not so marked.
You assert we say, that Hannah is
hugging"- which, by the way, would
be a very improper thing for Han
nah to do; it would be positively
scandalous, indeed. Precisely a
similar idea is conveyed if you say
Hannah is being Rugged" because
it is a peculiarly of the act that it
is hardly ever one-sided; there is no
about it. "Janeis kissing"
and her mother ought to know
it if she is-just exactly as if we
say, .Jane is being KISSED"
and the sensation is the same, al
though none Of the grammars by a
single inadvertance mention the fact
It will not be necessary, however
for our correspondent to attempt
10 prove these last mentioned facts
BY practice. He must take our
word for them. Unless he does SO,
We shall answer NO: more questions
ID syntax for him or. anyone else.

The recent election of U S. Senator by
the North Carolina legislature seems to puz-
Gle some of our contemporaries. PerhopS
the following facts may throw light on the
matter! Mr.. Vance, the Conservative eau
Gus nominee who has just been defeated,
was at ons time elected to the U. S. Senate,
though disqualified by the 18th amendment,
and was refused admission to that body
When the legislature Of North Carolina
wanted to elect an eligible man afterwards,
Vance would not resign and kept his State
out of representative until be saw the mat
ter was hopeless. Afterwards when he was
appointed Presidential elector at largo he
fought we'll through the gubernatorial cam
paign, and after the election was over and a
Conservative majority in the Legislature suf.
ficient to have elected him Senator, he re-
signed the position Of elector in the face of
the enemy on account of "business engage.
ments," and was not active in the campaign
after that. In short he seems to have had
his own advancement chiefly at heart.
When the election by the legislature took
place, the Conservatives remembered him
for this, to the extent of IL of them refu.
sing to vote for him, and voting for Merri-
man who had been the candidate Of the Con-
servatives for Governor. The Republicans
also voted for Merriman and thus elected
him. Merriman was elected to the legisla
ture in 1860 on the Bell and Everett ticket,
and was Union man before the war, and
the author of a pamphlet having the aboli-
ton of the representation of the colored
race as property These facts doubtless gave
him grace in the eyes of the Radicals, but
be declares that he does not affiliate in any
way with them.

Nothing could give bsttsr idea Of the
deep interest, felt throughout the West, in
tho completion Of the Chesapeake d Ohio
railroad, than the fact, which we learn from
3 gentleman from there, that last week,
among the numerous spplications received
st the office of the Louisville, Cincinnati 4
Lexington R. r., in Cincinnati, (Gen.
Eohols' road) to get information about, and
make business arrangements with, the Ches'
apsake & Ohio R. R. for freights when
completed, QUE firm made application to con-
tract for three freight cars to Richmond,
every day in the year, for 1873. Light
draft steamers in large numbers are now
completed, only awaiting the completion Of
the road, to commence running from Cincin-
natti to Huntington. A dispatch yesterday
from the White Sulphur Springs states that
only 10 miles of the track remained to be
laid to make the long wished for completion,
but the Christmas holidays, which will be
taken by the colored laborsrs, and the cpl
zootlc, will probably delay the completion
until about the Goth of January.
