and trial. and the indignities to which he
was subjected while in prison. Speeches

unmeasureA apathy and indifference OF the
the late United States Minister, Charles
Francis Adams, when appealed to to inter-
fere in behalf of Condor, an American
citizen. A resolution was adopted that the
best thanks of all lovers of American lib

Welsh, for his persistent and successful
efforts for the release of Condor, and also
to the Senator's aud Representatives

claims of American citizens lead to Con-
gressional action, upon which the Admin

Review of the Halifax Award.
WASHINGTON. October %.
1t is probable that the question of the
Halifax award will be reviewed this win
ter, whatever may be lone about the ulti-
mate payment of the money. The claim is
made that those who have been examining
the subject, that taking the British bill of
particulars exactly as it was submitted, it
shows that the Canadians were entitled
only to S120, 600 annually. or to an aggre-
gate of 81, 200, 900 for ten years. This is
less than 81, 500, 900, instead Of SIS, 900, 900,
the amount of the Halifax award; and
against this, it is claimed, it would be fair
to deduct the special duties on fish and oil
RENTED by the United States for Canada.
This item of itself would amount, in the
ten years, to $4,000, 600. That would
make 81, 500 600 in favor of the United
States, ms tead of So, 200. 900 in favor of
Great Britain. The gentlemen connected
with this business will undoubtedly be
called upon to explain their conduct.
Thc Next Contest to be Free from
Sectional Hatred.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, October %.
John F. House, in accepting the Con-
gressional nomination from the Democrats
of the Sixth District, predicted that the
next political contest would be free from
sectional hatred. He said: Il cannot,
fellow-citizens, find it in my heart to in
dulge in feelings of malice toward the peo-
pie of the North. When 1 witness their
magnanimous and generous conduct toward
the Southern people, l feel like pulling off
my hat and standing uncovered in their
presence. Grander thar the victory of
Appomattox is the victory won by the peo-
pie of the North in their noble and gener-
GUS contributions to the stricken and suf-
fering South. Upon that fatal field the
South surrendered her sword within the
shadow Of the dark wing Of pestilence, be-
side the new made graves of her heroic
sons and daughters. With bowed head
and fearful eyes she now extends her hand
and surrenders her heart to the generous
and -magnanimous North. Gods W hand
has bridged the bloody chasm. Let not
the ambition Of man seek to reopen the
wounds and to rekindle the embers Of sec
tional strife"
