Finding that the French people are not IN
mood TO tolerate martial law, the DE Broghe
Ministry hastens TO disavOw any intention 10
have recourse to that arbitrary measure. 1t is,
however unquestiOnable that Royalist Journal
lists have clamored for a state of siege, one
having even advised De l}roglie to give way
to man of sterner purpose. As all TINS was
done without rebuke, it seems probable that
the Administration was shrewdly testing the
state of public opinion on the subject.
Elaborate preparations have been made ior
celebrating the centennial anniversary OF the
battle of Bennington. That was the first en-
gagement of the Revolution IN which our
forces stOrmed inrcncbments that were de-
Tended by artillery. In other columns we give
an interesting account Of the hardwOn victory,
showing its marked effect upon the fortunes
of the campaign of 1777, and the hope and
courage with which it inspired our people.
Due honor will he given TO the memory OF the
hero of the fight, Gen. Stark, at the approach
ing celebration, and the presence of President
Hayes and the Governors Of several States VIII
add to the interest of the occasion.
Aside from all else, the amount claimed by
Great Britain as an offset to the advantages
said to be obtained by this country under the
treaty of 1871, makes the session of the
Fisheries Commission at Halifax business
of importance. Few of our cOuntIymcn
will be found who believe that the fish
ing privileges we enjoy oil Canadas
shore are worth any such sum Of money;
in fact it is generally supposed that the Cana
dams realize quite as much profit as we do
out Of the provisions of the treaty. 1t Is per
haps, a mere coincidence but it looks a little
suspicious that the amount claimed by Great
Britain is about the same as that recovered
from her under the Alabama award.
There is n soTowful tale of large party
of emigrants from Russia, now wander
ing about the seaport5 of Germany, hay
ing been brought thither under false pre-
fences and being now unable to get away.
They are just the people that are wanted to
till the abundant land of the West; the only
question is as to the means OF transporting
them Our State Commissioners of Emigration
are unable TO furnish the requisite assistance.
The general policy of our national Govern
ment is to encourage immigration to or shores,
but there is a great lack of systcmatized plan
and effort to carry ont the purpose. There
appears to be no provision whatever for cases
like the one under considerations

Gen. Crock, veteran and successful Indian
fighter, says that the Indians are now as well
armed with brcech-loaders as the regular
troops, and shoot better. This statement gives
pertincncy to the recent order Of the Presi-
dent forbiddng the sale of arms to the say
ages. The terrible loss suffered by Gen. Glib
bon's command in the Big Hole battle proves
that the Nez Perc6s had excellent weapons, and
know how 70 use them.

The success which the French have attained
in conveying fresh meat in good condition
from the River Plate, threatens Us with COM
petition from that quarter in the European
markets. Much will, however, depend upon
the cost Of transportation in the steamer which
the French have so carefully constructed for
the purpose. Whatever rivalry may follow, we
must benefit, in general way, from all inn
provements in the conveyance of perishabIe
products.
