The banquet which will be gwen at the

"Northwe,tern Dividend, Failing on.,'


So say some ANONYMOUS scribes, whose
circulars have been freely distributed
within the limits of our agency; but hun
dreds of our pollcy-holders in this city
and thousands in Virginia and North Caro-
lima will testify to the talslty or the state
ment.
In thelanguage Of the Right Rev. Bishop
William Stevens Perry, of Iowa, such at
tacks upon the Northwestern will be found,
upon investigation, ITO be either absolutely
false or so distorted that tie Uery figures them
selres il possessed Of feeling, must hare been
ashamed Of The pos'to" they 'Oers forced 10
CcNipy."
We do not deem il necessary to notice
such productions in detail, but tor the
benefit of honest inqulrers after the truth
we propose TO publish from time 10 time
the record of number of policies upon
the lives Of well-known citizens. IN retu-
tation Of the general charge, and to those
who are still incredulons We will open our
books to their inspection, 80 that they NAV
have the opportunity OF deciding the
question for themselves, and of comparing
the dividends of the Northwestern with
those of any company in which they may
happen to be insured.

the boundary-lipe question. returned yes
terday from Washington, where the con-
ference was held. I'm conversation with
DISPATCH reporter last night he said:
1.-THE conference terminated with the
best of feeling between the mem bers OF tho
two committees, and the negotiations
throunhout were of the most friendly aud
nleasant character, in view OF which all re-
GRATED that an agreement satisfactory TO
both sides could not be reached setting
all of the matters in dispute. Inc nego-
tiations looked 10 a settlement or three
subjects OF dispute: j. Inc headlahd5 OF
the Potomac as meant by the Black d
Jenk ins award Of 1877, the award failing
10 specify the headands by name or other
sufficient designations.
~. There being q conflict between the
law OF Maryland and Virginia with reter-
enee 10 culling oysters caught IN the
waters in which both States have concur
rent fishing rights, Maryland asked that
this law be made the same IN both States
and. further. that the time for the begin

HEBE THE TROUBLE BEGAN.

Here the trouble began, aud since then
a number Of efforts have been made 20 get
the legislative bodies Of the two States 10
settle the dispute, but all have failed,
Therefore the recent conference Will
serve one good purpose at least-yIz.
Put An end TO fruitless efforts to get the
matter disposed of by legislation and rele-
gate it TO the courts, where it can alone
be finally settled. iuasmuch as q judicial
Interpretation of the compact Of l7S5
and of the award of 1877 must be had to
determine the question in dispute. IL IS
claimed, however, by our Maryland friends
that the case of Hendricks rs. the Com
monwealth "a case decided by our Court
OF Appeals-sustalns their contention;
but that case only disposed of question
Of jurisdiction and did not settle any Ques-
ton referred to the recent conference"
