LONDON, March 22.-ln the House OF
Commons las: night, Mr.. Cameron NOV
ed for committee to inquire into the
prolonged Imprisonment and Ill treat
ment OF the crew of the British ship Tai
rsman bvthe Peruvian government. Mr..
Bourke, under foreign Secretary, said the
government had lelegraphed to Lima
that the remaining prisoners, VIZ: the
CAPTAIN and mate, must be immediately
tried or England would demand their re-
lease. The allegation OF i'll treatment
would be forwarded to the English
representative in Peru, and II he
reported they were correct, the govern
ment would consult the law officers as 10
the adyisability o! demanding compen sa-
tion.
Sir Henry James urged that the Peru
War government had had full opportuni-
tv to try the prisoners. The time had
now arrived to demand their release. de
asked the government to give assurance
that # the prisoners remained untrled n
demand fol their release would be torci-
bly, supported. -.
Mr.. Ashly suggested that gunbost

sIrhe Attorney General pointed out that
the Talisman was guilty OF piracy. Ihe
delay in bringing her crew to trial arose
from the decision of the Peruvian Attor-
new General that the trial could not be-

man had been decided by the Courts.
The House might depend upon ltthat II
the Peruvian government cid not COM
ply with the request for u trial or the
release of the prisoners measures would
be taken to enforce it. The Chancellor
OF the Excheuuer stated that if the trial
was not now proceeding rs dispatches
announced it was, Lord Derby would
know wha. must be done. The house
might rely upon it the government
would see right done in the matter.
He showed how an inquiry by commit
tee might furnish Peru with an excuse

bate.

The Emma Mine Investigation.

WAsHINGToS. Msrch 2i.-The exam
inatiou OF ex-senator Stewart Was COM
renced by the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs to-day. He began by
giving the history of his first connection
with the affairs OF the Emma Mine, Ms
counsel for Lyon, explaining the con
tract with Parks, and the meaning Of
the expression In his letter to Lyons
about fighting Tor worked out nine. He
believed at that time that it would re-
quire five 10 eigh! years to get trial.
In the meantime the mine was being
worked by other parties, so that when
the trial should be reached, the proceeds
of the mine would be distributed as div
idenas where they conld not be reached
by suits. The contract TO which the let
Ter referred, placed some of the proceeds
at Lyons immediate control.
He corroborated the statement o! Sen
ator Morton as to his proposed connec-
ticn with the matter, and gave MS bis
opinion that Judge Mexican was an
honest Judge. Mr.. Stewart detailed the
Manner OF Placing the stock

gentleman named COa.s suggested that

mine, and telcgraphed him to do so, ar
ranging at the same time for the COM
pensation of the Professor. This was the
suggestion of either Park or himself. Park
and Grant made the contract for the
sale of the nine, the provisions Of which
have already been published. The state.
ment was very lengthy, going into the
details of the negotiations IN England
and his CO injection with Lyons He de-
MED that he ever told Lyons about Gen.

The Daily Atgns,
We're the Letters Doctored2

After a universal demand for those
letters, from the press, without regard to
party, and after several days delay, Blaine
seems to have been forced to read them,
or to read what he said were the letters he
robbed Muligan of. The Chicago Times
says:
Muligan has been interviewed by rep
resentative of the Times in Boston. lie
declared, with as much emphasis as Blaine
himself could coEmahu, that Blaine has
not produced all the captured letters. At
the time this assertion was made, Multi
gan did not know, OF course, exactly what
letters bad been read to the house. and to
some degree must have founded his asser-
tion upon his own knowledge OF the con-
tents of the letters he had loaned TO Blaine,
The witnesss declaration, however, is OF
unpleasant significance TO Blaine. 1t
shows the latter that, in his reckless haste
to seize the recorded proof, he has lief,
himself with scarcely any defense but his
own unsupported word, against any state
ment Mulligan may make as to the con
tents of the package he placed in Blaine 5
hands s. far as Muliigan may be APP
proved a credible witness, Blaine is more
completely at his mercy than ever before.
There has been nothing on earth to pre-
vent the substitu ion of harmless papers
for any damaging letters that may have
been contained in the package, except Sc
far as the genuine letters may be identified
by Mulligan' memoranda.

Republican Quarrels.

Mr.. Blaine dies hare-as did MIR.
Beecher; but he has been MORALLY
wounded, and the DEVOTED friends WHO
stood around him to the last are breathing
threatenings and slaughter against those
who stabbed him. The Republican camp
has become the scene of deadly feuds, and
the partisans of the respective aspirants to
the Cincinnati nomination are armeo with
daggers against one another Despite his
magnificent dramatic triumph in the house
on Monday, the ex-speaker is sinking
hopelessly down, like Caesar at the foot OF
Pompey's pillar, aud his adherents are on
the track of his assassins. Who are they -?
The Quincy Wing points to the Bristow
headquarters, and declares that the Blaine
men will meet the Bristow men at Cincin
cinnati, and there have their revenge. The
Chicago Tribune replies that it is not the
friends of Bristow, but the friends of
Morton who have slain the ex-speaker;
and yet, the Illinois delegation. 1t adds,
contains men who will go to Cincinnati
sewaring vengeance on the assassins of
Blaine, ana who will glut their revenge by
casting their votes for Oliver p. Morton, !"
the instigator of the assassination.
This gives some idea Of the deadly
nature OF the struggle for the Republican
nomination. It is battle under the black
flag The contest at Cincinnati will not be a
manly strife for high honor. bat a
settlement e mutual quarrels between the
chets.--!St. Louis Republican.

REMARKABLE CURE OF A SNAKE
B1TE.-Rev. J. E. King, of this place,
informs us that his little daughter was
bitten by a poisonous snake, q few days
ego, and he cured her by simply holding
the part bitten close to the fire and the
poison was arrested and drawn out by
the heat of the fire, just in same way that
burns are cured by holding the burned
part near the fire. Mr.. King says this IS
the second cure he has effected by this
simple remedy, and that he has known
of several other cures by the same remedy
within his acquaintance. :,
He says it was accidentally discovered
several years ago, by a young man who
was bitten on the foot by a ground rattle,
snake, one of the most poisonous OF all
snakes, while working on the farm OF his
uncle in North Carolina When bitten,
the young man called out for help, and
went to the place where the hands had a
fire to warm their dinner, and, while
waiting for attention, he held his foot to
the fire to see if he had any feeling IN his
foot, that previous to holding his foot to
the fire he felt the poison going up his
leg like hot iron was being run up his
leg, and when he held his foot near the
fire the pain was greatly increased, but,
instead of continuing up his leg, it slowly
came down and finally quit hurting, and,
when the wound was examined, the
poison was picked out in a lump on the
point of a knife.
Mr.. King is a minister of the Baptist
Church, of good standing, and is man
whose statements are worthy of implicit
confidence. We publish this remedy for
the public good. It is simple remedy,
and one within the reach of all, and
should begenerally MISUNDERSTANDING

No GRIT.-It was midnight. The
young man had farewelled himself out,
and Emeline had locked the door and
was untying her shoes, when her mother
came down stairs, and said:
"Wanted to creep up stairs without my
hearing you, Ell? Didn't think l knew
it was an hour after midnight did
you?"
The girl made no reply, and the moth
er continued: "Did he propose this
time9
"Why, mother?" exclaimed the
daughter.
"You can why motherv all you want
to, but don't I know he has been coming
here for the last year? Don't l know
that you've burned up at least four tons
of coal courting around here Z"
The girl got her shoes of, and the
mother stood in the stair door and asked ::
"Emeline have you got any grit?"
"I guess So"
ri guess you haven't. Ijust wish that
a fellow with false teeth and a mole on
his chin would come sparkling me. Do
you know what would happen, Eme-
line?"
"No."
"Well, I'll tell you. He'd come to
time in sixty days, or he'd get out of this
mansion like goat jumping for sunfow-
er> seeds.'
Emeline went to bed to reflect over
