The Butter and Cheese Exchange has
protested against the new article "Oleo-
managarine" being called butter and sold
as such. The Exchange says the future
of the American butter trade demands
that the two be kept separate.
JAMES PARTON SPEAKS.
james Parton, recently elected Presi-
dent of the Liberal Club, took the chair
last evening at a session of that body and
and made short speech, In which he
said we are on the verge of-not in the
midst Ola general reaction from what
are usually called liberal principles of
government by the people and for the
people, the equal brotherhood of men, and
the right OF each man and woman to
share in the practical guidance OF public
affairs. In proof of ihis he instanced Ger
many, where the victories of the late war
have brought to the front conservative
form and men, and pushed back out of
sight men, and thoughts, aud dreams OF
90 years ago, England with Disraeli and
France with MacMahon for President
In the United States this conservative re-
action is very strong and will not delay
to manifest itself.

REPORT ON THE MEXICAN CLAIM.
A Washington dispatch gives the
opinion of Sir Edward Thornton, filed on
Wednesday last, in the case of Raphael
Aguierere ps. the United States, awarding
that the motion heretofore made by the
agent of the United States to dismiss and
reject this claim be allowed, and the
claim was accordingly rejected. This
was test case OF the class known as
Indian Depreciation Claims against the
United States, the aggregate of which
amount to some $31 ,000, 900. Mexico as
serted the liability Of the United States,
mainly by reason OF certain promises Of
the old treaty of peace of 1S4S. The
United States, through their agents, main
tanned that if any liability was attached to
them under that treaty on this account,
such liability was released by the Gads.
den treaty Of 1853. The Commissioners
having disagreed upon the question raised
by the motion Of the agent OF the United
States, they referred the matter to an um-
pire for his decision, with the result above
indicated. Itwas upon this question that
the Commissioner on the part of Mexico,
NJ. Gusemer, caused dead lock on the
business of the Commission, and he was
recalled, being succeeded by Manuel Pa
maeole. This interruption Of business at
one time threatened to render void all the
work of the Commission. The removal
of this obstacle will now facilitate the
,labors of the Commissioners on the part
of the United States and Mexico.

TRAvRL AND EXPORTS.
Inquiry at the office of the different
steamship lines shows that the aggregate
number of travellers to Europe this sea-
son will probably be much less than in
1878. This reduction is generally at;
tributed to the effects of the panic and
While many in consequence cannot az
ford the luxury of an ocean trip, others
who could we'll bear the expense have
deemed it lnexpedient to.leave their busi-
ness In this situation many heads OF
families have kept at home their depend
ents. Some influence, it is said, has also
probably been exerted by the fact that
there are no unusual attractions in Europe
this year, and by the dread of the ocean
perils, inspired by the late disasters. The
outward freights this season are generally
abundant, and at the same time show an
excess over last year. The recent dis
asters to the general Transatlantic Com
pany have not, it is said, perceptibly
affected the number OF passengers by
the French steamers, as but few
of those booked have withdrawn
their names, and the ST, Laurent,
which sails one week from to-day will
carry about 100. A considerable falling
off from year ago is expected during
the season from the same causes which
affect other companies. The agents of
the Hamburg American Packet Com
pany have receiyedn dispatches to-day
in regard to the steamer Silicia, report |
ed by cable aground in the Elbe and in
dangerous position. The SILICA is a |
iron screw steamer and was built at |
Greenalk in 1859, and is regarded as one
OF the best vessels of the Hamburg line. |
She is about $50 feet in length, 40 in
depth and of 3.400 tons burden. She
