Gen. y. F. Butler on England rs War
I'll Power.


Morn Imcricdn Reriepl
Great Britain is not a warlikc people She
never had more than 5000 soldiers from her
islands between tho four seas. any battle
field. ard those were al Waterloo while we had
in our late war moro than that number to starve
or die OF wounds, or sickness in single prison
Does any one believe that England will ever
forget that at the close of our war we dshanded
quite two millions Of soldiers, and that half
million OF them are yet alive to take hand IN
any war in Which the honor of our country IS
sssa!ted by Great Britain? / have said, and
perhaps may be criticised for it, that she is not
wariike nation, Her Government is contin-
uaily making war on, small nations and having
someone else to do the fighting. If there IS
anything on which England can pride herself
Tor proves in war it is her navy. But she
cannot forget that, until almost within this
generation. that navy could only be supplied
with sailors sufficient to man it by dragging
them from their homes by press-gangs. The
Marquis OF Salisbury seems to have faith IN
bonds in settling difficulties between England
and this country. Be so. England has given
taiS country bonds in untold millions that she

be at once forfeited and confiscated. Every
road of our land owned by English syndicates
or subjects would be lost to her. 1t would seem
as if We could find the means to carry on the
war by selling her property in open market
and using the proceeds; and when we hear the
shells from her feet if we should do so, break
ing the plate glass in Broadway, we should be
comfortably remembering that great deal of
it belonged to English people. Stopping tho
export of cotton for three months would starve
Manchester and its workmen. and be OF ad-
vantage to us, as cotton is very low in price
and we could use it, Let US look at some other
foreign complications which are to be taken
into account by England in case of war with
us. Russia still has her eye on Constantinople,
and might think it good timo, when England
was thus crippled, to carry out her dream OF
empire so long and steadily maintained by her
Cars.

Alasisa's Value to the Uuited States.
North A1nerican Repie,cl

At comparatively insignificant expense to
the Government we have learned more of
Alaska's geography and topography, its people
and its resources, in % years than Russia
learned, or tried to learn, in 126 years of pos
session. Our people have drawn more money
and products out of the country than the Rus
sian people did, and our Government has re-
ceived moro revenue from the country than
the Cars treasury ever derived from the same
source For the 20 years preceding the year
1860 the gross receipts of the Russian American
Company from all sources in Alaska were about
Sl1, ,00O, ,O00 out Of which dividends were paid
amounting to $l,50o,00a, and $2,25O,0o0 to the
Imperial Government in the shape of import
duties on Chinese teas purchased with Alaskan
furs. During the 20 years. from 1870 to $780,
VIC drew from Alaska products Of various kinds
to the value of over 100000, 900, while the
United States Government received cash
revenue of over $6,000,000

guns The first gun was fired from the rebel
flagship (tbe Eyerglade). and then the rebel

Facts About the Recent Lynching at
Memphis.
A Most Damnable Outrage Perpetrated
by Christian 60 Whites on Defenseless
but Upright Colored Busi-
ness Men.

The Colored people of Memphis have
prepared the following statement of the
lynching at Memphis. 1t is signed by
the pastors Of Memphis Colored
churches
/. There had been for some time q
rivalry between the two groceries, Bar
rett, white man. and the Colored men,
known as "The Peoples Grocery Com,
pany." Both sold liquor, the Colored
men taking it up in order.to get patron
age, as do nearly all the small groceries
IN and out of the city.
2. Near by quarrel occurred recent
ly between two boys, white and black.
The father OF the white boy, Hurst, went
and whipped the Colored boy; his faith
er, Harris, goirg to see about it, was
driven away from the white mau's yard.
8. The excitement soon involved the
neighborhood. Barrett had joined in
with Hurst, against Harris and Other
Negroes. The young men. Mcdowell
and Stewart, at "The Peoples Grocery"
were prominent in espousing the side of
Harris. Thus they became involved
with Barrett, who with an officer went
to arrest Mcdowell at the store, and en-
tering accused the latter of harboring
theieves. To this Mcdowell gave the
lie. Barrett struck him with revolver,
knocking him down. The weapon fall
ing, Mcdowell seized it and shot at Bar
reIt as the latter ran out. Mcdowell
was taken Ivy the officer, and next day
released under bonds. Two days later,
Saturday. March 9TH, Barrett, alleging
that the Negroes were in conspiracy
against the whites at the "Curve," had
it arranged with the authorities that a
number Of special deputies should come
out at night and arrest Stewart. 1t was
