Washington advices announce that
treaty amending the Clayton Bulwer
treaty regarding the Nicaragua canal
was signed at the State Department
Monday, Secretary Of State Hay signed
for the United States and Ambassador
Pauncefote for Great Britain. The
treaty was sent to the Senate in the
afternoon.
1t can be authoritatively stated that
Great Britain has relinquished ali
claims to Joint control of tho Nicaragua
canal under the Clayton Bul Yer treaty,
and that she has done this freely and
10 good faith, without demanding any
price in return. This leaves the United
States government absolutely free to go
ahead with any negotiations and con
tracts which it may see fit to make with
regard to the construction of such a
canal. The only substantial relic OF the
Clayton Bulwer agreement which it
contains is an assurance by the United
States government of the neutrality Of
the canal.
The Clay -Bulwer treaty was nego-
tiated by John M. Clayton Of Della
ware, then Secretary of State under
President Zachary Taylor, and Lord
William Henry Bulwer, representing
the government of Great Britain. 1t
was signed in Washington April 10th,
1850. 1t related principally to the pro.
posed construction of the Nioaraguan
canal. The treaty was very dear to
Clayton's heart, although it was criti.
cised very harshly by other public men.
In 1852, Mr.. Clayton having resigned
from the cabinet upon the death o.
President Taylor, and then living re-
tired life upon his farm in Delaware
he was stirred to- political activity b,
assaults made upon the treaty in thu
United States Senate, and resolved tt
return to that body and defend it
That year the State election was helt
one week later than the presidential
election. At the latter election. Della
ware gave her electoral vote to FRANKLIN
Pierce, the nominee Of the Democrat
party, but week later elected Legis
lature having Wing majority on join
: ballot. This was a splendid persona
tribute to Clayton, who was elected t
the Senate and remained there until hi
death. November 9th, 1856.

As was expected, the Regular Repub-
lican State Committee, in session nt
Dover, Tuesday, rejected the thar
mony propositions" submitted by the
Union Republican State Committee
several weeks ago. The Regulars fatty
refused to make any kind of COM
promise with Addicks or Addicksisn.
In statement giving the reasons for
its conclusions, the full text of which
is printed elsewhere in this issue, the
committee certainly makes out n good
case in support Of the contention that
Regular Republicans of Delaware
cannot compromise with Addicks or
Addicksien, and that these two influ-
ences must be entirely eliminated from
the Union Republican faction before
members of the Regular Republican
party can listen to propositions for
union and harmonious action.
1t ia altogether probable that the
effect of this decision will be two Re-
publican tickets in the field at the
coming election. The ultimatum Of the
Regular Republicans is that AddicKs
and Addicksism must be eliminated
from the Union Republican faction
before compromise can be considered.
But when these two influences ere
eliminated, there is nothing left in che
Union Republican organization; With
out them it would fall to pieces between
the rising and the setting of the sun.
Harmony and union, therefore, de
pend upon whether MI. Addicks viii
consent to have himself eliminated from
Delaware politics. If he refuses, 1T i
probable that the people will eliminate
him by their votes on election day, blu
at the same time his attitude vii
effectually prevent the Republican
factions from coming together.
All the same, the members of th
Regular Republican State Commute
are entitled to credit for their action
Better to encounter defeat than +
compromise with dishonor.

Tho Delaware Democrat gives sound
and timely advice to Democrats in
urging upon them the necessity for
party unity in this years campaign.
Though national ticket is to be
chosen,'' it says, land we all want good
Democrats at the head of the govern
ment, Delaware is small factor in
their choice aud her vote will not ma
terially affect the result. What is oil
infinitely more importance to us is our
local State government. If we can
succeed in electing our State and
county officers we shall be able to con,
troll home matters in the way most
beneficial to the people, giving them
good and economical government. Ir
order to do this it is necessary thai
there should be no differences in tht
party, either concerning men or nlea
sures, but that all shall unite ir oppos
ing the common enemy"

Chancellor Nicholson yesterday
rendered his decision in the case in
volving the Adams Tax law, by dis
missing the bill prayed for to restrain
Collector John z. Donahoe from col
Letting the tax under this law. The bill
was dismissed on the ground Of lack of
jurisdiction. Unless further legal OBJ
iections are made, it is probable that
the collectors will proceed with the col
