AMERICA VS.. ENGLAND.

1t is known that the department
Of state is in correspondence with
the English government upon a
question which may assume the
gravest diplomatic position in course
of time, but the grievances of which
our government complains are not
generally understood. For a long
time, in fact since the establishment
of our independence, the New
England and the Canadian fisher
men have been quarreling about the
rights of the former to fish On the
Newfoundland banks. Finally the
question became of sufficient impor-
lance to require an arbitrator. This
arbitrator after hearing arguments
decided that the United States
should pay the imperial government
the Sun Of $500, 900. This
sum was considered exorbitant by
some of the best judges, but our
government has paid it, and more
over, stipulated by treaty that fish
caught by the Newfoundland fish,
ermen should be admitted to this
country free Of duty. This award
was divided by England between
the Dominion of Canada and the
province of Newfoundland, the lat
ter receiving 81, 900, 1000.
Now, these Newfoundlanders have
received the money for our license
to use their banks, but are unwilling
that United States citizens should
fish there. Especially is the feeling
rampant among the inhabitants Of
Fortune bay, and it is from the mis-.
deeda Of these men that the quarrel
arose. In January, 1878, while
some Of our fishing smacks wer,
cruising in that bay, their crew
were set upon by these fel
lows, their seines destroyed snt

THE UFE5.

Rumors Of massacres and blood
shed bagin to reach US from the
Ute country. In one case, seven>
teen prospectors are reported killed.
This report lacks corroborative tes~
timony. Another, however, is
doubtless true. 1t comes from
! Leadvilie, and asserts that while
party of twenty-five men vere-pros-
pecting on Gunuison river, they
were attacked BY a band of hostlles
and twelve of their number killed.
A column of troops has departed
for the scene of the massacre
and its verify will soon be estab-
lished. According to statement
of Gen. Adams, who is now in
Washington, and who has just ar.
rived there from the Ute
country the wagons that are
standing on the edge of the reSer-
walton are sufficient in number to
transports a. s-rriiAa. Of array
corps. These wagons belong to
immigrants who are only awaiting
the action of congress before en-
tering,
If another war is provoked it can
be directly charged to the debit side
of the ledger of the present con-
gress. 1t will be only its worths
lessness that can allow state OF
affairs to arise in which a war be-
comes possible. The interior de-
partment has performed its part o
the work we'll and the lndian'
are ready to comply witt
their part of the contract.
until congress passes upon the mat
ter, the land belongs to the Utes
and if they attack trespassers i
would be no more than a either
shooting a burglar whom he found
in his house. If United State
troops are demanded they should il
, all justice take the side of the In
dians, rather than the settlers
These latter are not acquainted witt
the peculiar tactics Of democratl
; congress, and no doubt think tina
/ they are entitled to enter the for
= hidden country. The Indians ar
not to blame, the settlers do wroni
only through ignorance, and con
gress does nothing towards a solu
ton of the problem. In thei
direlection of duty, they only ad
another shell to the republican cam
paign arsenal, and it will be ex
ploded this autumn with terrif
effect.

their "catch" of herrings released,
and some American property dis
vided among the mob. This was
brought to the notice of the English
government, and in its reply it held
that the mob was justified. 1t
claimed that they were working on
the Sabbath, that they were fishing
in a prohibited season and manner
and contrary to local regulations.
In regard to the breaking of the
Sabbath law and the prohibited
season, it is known that the For.
tune bay men were doing the very
same thing, consequently those
objections have but little weight. In
fact all Of them are mere attempts
to evade the issue, for local preju-
dice was against the treaty, and
England places herself in the humil'
iating position of being unable to
enforce the provisions of treaty
among her own dependencies. She
acknowledges that local laws are
higher than imperial treaties.
In times past, when nations were
more willing to go to war for trivial
reasons, this might provoke q con-
fict in which the British lion would
again have its eyes plucked out by
the beak Of our bald eagle, but IL
these days it is not likely that any
such result will follow. The matter
will only be a question for the di'
plomats and the issue will be blood,
less.

body a few years aeo, and who was defeated
for a renominatiou on these grounds, is

this evening it was officially announced
that General Butler would, on the 2sth of

port General Hancock for President. This
Is the first statement of his views that has
been made, although it was understood that

he will be a candidate for Governor, but II
he does he will have the full support of all

The Hon. Linn Bartholomew, of Potts
vile, Schuylkill county, died of heart dis
ease at Atlantic City, N. j., on Sunday last.
He was stopping at the United States Hotel,
and few minutes before two o'clock went
TO the oyster bar of the house to get oysters
with two friends. While standing there he
suddenly raised his hand to his heart and
utterihg slight souad fell 10 the floor. He
was quickly carried to a chair on the Veran-
dab and supported till physician arrived.
The physician ordered him TO be taken to
his room. While being carried up stairs
there was a slight gurgle in his throat and
when laid upon the bed the DR.. pronounced
him dead. His death is attributed by the
physician To heart disease, which he thinks
was superinduced by Bright's disease.
