An OUTRAGE AT AsPIMwALL.

PANAMA. (via Galvcstor), March 80.
Star and Herald bulletins published
to-day say the steamer Colon was seized
today at Aspinwall by revolutio1ists, who
demanded the delivery Of shipments 81
arms on board for the revolution. The
agent refused to deliver. Conner, local
superintendent Of the Pacific Mail COM
pauy, was first arrested, and later the cap
tain and pursers of the steamer were
placed Under arrest on board. Subse-
quently Capt Dowell, Of the Pacific Mai
company, Mr.. Wright, United State,
consul, and the lieutenant Of the Ameri
can man-oi.war Galena were arrested and
marched of to the cuartel. They wer,
released at six o'clock, on condition h,a,
the arms should be deliveted, and deliv.
cry is now going on. American and
English war ships did nothing to pfotec'
foreign interests, because tho revelation
ary chief declared that be would resist
their interference by force. Americans
are indignant at the insults to their Aag
and outrage to their persons and proper
ty. Troops go from here tonight to at
tack the revolutionists, who, however, are
10 strong force, and with the arms from
the Colon will probably be able to control
events in their own way and to thei,
ow2 interests.

THE REL RHHELLroN.

The present uprising in the northwest
territory in Canada is the result Of aai-
tation commenced about me year ago BY
Louis Riel, the ringleadcr Of the Red
river rebellion in 1869, and is in part
the revival Of the old feud. When the
Hudson Bay company, carly. in 1869,
was asked to surrender Rupert's Land
and other territory in the northwest to
the British crown, a grant f300 900 in
money md $4,000 acres Of land was
made to the company. Tho grant in
cludes the right to part of tho land laid
out for settlement south Of the northern
branch Of the Saskatchewan river, which
had been settled upon BY French Cana
dians and Metir, or half.breeds, aud the
fear that their lands were to be taken
from them and the report that they were
to be left to the mercy of the monopolists
who could compel them to trade on their
own terms, led to rebellion. The lead.
ers were John Bruce, Louis Riel, aud
Ambrose Lepinc. Riel, shrewd young
French Canadian, became real leudcr,
and 30 dominated Rupert's Land that he
prevented the Lieutenant Governor from
entering the territory. In November the
insurgents occupied Fort Gary and or
ganized government, and in Febrbary,
1870, Riel was named president. His
government did not last long; for on
receiving assurances from Archbishop
Tache, representing the Canadian gov.
ernmcni, that justice should be done and
amnesty granted, he and his followers
laid down their arms. The British GOV.
ernment and the Canadian authorities
differed as to the question Of amnesty
and Riel, after trying two or three times
to take seat 10 the mouse Of commons
at Ottawa, TO which he was elected,
was bauished from Manitoba.
Since then he has been regarded BY
his followers as patriot, but BY Cana.
dians generally as an outlook. Last fall
he re-entered the dominion and proceed
ed to the Saskatchewan country, to ad
wise the half breeds AZ to the course t
be pursued to obtain recognition Of theil
rights by the government. Frequep
meetings have since been held, and bill
Of rights prepared in which the peopl
asked to be relieved from the Hudson
Bay Company's restrictions, and in which
they asked that certain principles be OBJ
served in the survey of lands. The bill
rights received little or no attention, ant
the request as to a survey Of lands wa
denied. This is the pretext Of the pres
ent rebellion. A gentleman from the vi
cinity Of the trouble informs the st. Pau
Globe that the people have mucl
cause for complaint against tn
government and the Canadian Pacif
railway. The government has not KEEP
its pledges to them in perfecting tbei
promised titles and the railroad robs then

The Eugene Register, one of the
most constantly devoted republican
papers in the state, with much sense
AID truth says: "Blaine has withdrawn
his suit against the Indianapolis Sen
tinsl thus virtually acknowledging that
be had NOT been slandered. The plea
that he could not have fair play is q
little too thin, aud al umiliating admiss.
ion that the suit ought never to have
been bought"
Here We have q republican paper
saying that, which, If said by q dem
ocrat, would meet with the severes:
criticism from Blaine organs But
every man in the country whose mind
IS not warped or poisoned BY party
spirit will agree with the Register that
this withdrawal of bis suit is n virtual
acknowledgment by Blaine that he
was.uot slandsred and that the plea
that he could not have fair play il
sham, frivolous and irrelevant. Yes, il
would have been better never TO have
to have brought the suit.

The Dyiax Wishes OF Gens--f BrewcsteF 81
Texas Observed.

Tho remains Of Colonel II. Perry
Brewster, late state commissioners
insurance, arrived from Austin to-day
and wore buried as sea, In accordance
with the dying request Of deceased.
Colonel Brewster served in tho San
Jacinto war, was Grss sdjunatnt general
Of Texas and served as chief Of staff
under General Albert Sidney johnson
In the late war. Deceased passed his
life on land, but was strongly infatuated
with desire to be buried at sen. He
first made knewn his peculiar desires
in this respect 70 bis bosom friends,
General John NJ. Claiborne and Colonel
Jack, while lying together under tree
just before tho opening engagement Of
the battle Of Shiloh. During the pro-
g,saa Of the war he frsquently repeated
this request ~ several army friends,
and said he desired to be buried in
sixty fathoms Of water. His theory
was that at that particular depth the
pressure Of water was just fsufiicieut
density to keep human body quietly
upon the bottom.
Prior TO his death in the city ol
Austin, Sunday last, Judge Brewster
repeated to his daughter his last wishs.
with regard to the disposition Of hi
body. Miss Brewster communicate
with General Claiborne and Other
friends in this city and was determidsd
to carry out the request of her fathe
and friends.
Governor Ireland placed q littl
states steamer at the disposal of Mi
Brewster for The purpose Of carryinl
the body to sea. At 10 o'clock th
remains, under military escort, xer
placed aboard the vessel, and the sol
emn Journey to the sea began. Th
locality selected for burial was th
place where nipe years ago the stsame
Waco was burned with great loss o
life. May cid army friends Of decsal
, ed ACCOMPANIED the remains.
] Miss Brewster yielding to the entire,
ties Of friends, parted forever from Ii
remaip of her honored father at Il
! point Of embarkation. The sea W,
! very rough, but the little steambo.
( bravd the waves under the hand of a
experienced pilot. Several tugs an
piiol boats accompanied the funsr
boa. The shipping in the harbor fls
flag at half mast.
At exactly IL o'clock, being we'll on
