The following ar;icic, from tie New
York E.j7rs, Will he read with interest
by our people:
The statement which we published
yesterday III II card Ia the decision Of
the German hnpc,ial Government in
the boundary st;t pending between the
United States and Grcl; Britain is fully
confirmed by Il dispatch from Mr.. Ban
croft, who Announces to the State De-
rariment that the Emperor has signed
the drciSun drawn up for linn ill the
Imperial C'anccry Mr.. Bancroft in
dulGe, Ill the usual cuurty Inscription of
intelligence and consciousness to His
Majesty. 1t may not b. 50 gracious,
but it is cortainl more reasonable, to
say that the decision is due to the JUS
tice OF our cause and the honesty of the
experts to whom our case Was referred
1t Is probable that the presence Of MIR.
Bancroft III Berlin was not without its
value. III giving to the Enpcrors Gov
erll.neht the impressions and the views
of the statesmen OF tie time when the
Treaty OF lSl6 WAS negotiated, of which
he is almost The sole survivor. But: it
IS equally fati.ous and unjust for MS to
conclude that any GO d VIII towards us
ON the part of the E'nporor's Govern
men' led to this decision. Ii is IN I'M
putatlon upon their fairness 10 attribute
it to any other cause than the merits of
the question.
