The Abrog alton Of Treaties Under
the Law Of Nations.

Until very lately the London Spectator
has expressed the opinion that no resist
ance should be otfersd TO our construction
and control Of . Nicaragua Canal pro-
yided W. should allow II 10 he used on
equal terms by other maritime nations.
excep, the particular nation with which
We might happen TO be at war The other
day, however, tho same Journal induged
in some censoriouA not to sav hgrsh, COM
men's on the Senate'a amendments of tho
Hay-Pauncefo'e Treaty. Including. cape
cially, the Foraker amendment declaring
the Clayton Bulwer Treaty superseded.
II said that the United States S'unt- has
tolerated a levity and recklessness of tone
in regard TO solemn treaty obligations
which shows that the Senate "a n body is
with which II Ia entrusted under the Con-
stitution.
The Spectator evidently assumes that
when a treaty contains no denunclauon
clause. but is on its face perpetual neither
marty has right 10 abrogate II without
the consent Of the other. In making this
assumption va believe the Spectator 10
have had in mind the principle formulated
BY the London Conference In 1871 In
that conference plenpotentiari'~ from
Great Britain France. Germany. Austria.
Italy, Russia and Turkey agreed upon
a declaration. which was subsequently
ratified by their Respective Governments:
1t is an essential principle Of the law ~
nations that no Power can hbcrate itself
from the engagements OF n treaty. nor
modify the supuiailons thereof. unless
with the consent Of tho contracting Powers
by means ~ an amicable arrangement =.
BY acquiescing IN this principle Russia
admitted. or w@ supposed Ia admit. that
In the preceding year. soon after the out
break of the Franco German War, she had
proceeded ultra rrcs in announcing that
she would no longer be bound by the clause
in the Treaty of Paris which prohibited
her from maintaining warshijs in the
Black Sea. The Spectator plainly takes
for granted that the declaration Of IN.
London Conference ia ss binding on the

CAST our THE NEGRO vAeRANr.

About fifty citizens of Greenville, and large
number of that race ct Clarksville recently met in
their different and adopted resolutions pledging
themselves to join the officers in bringing to justice
all negroes who commit black crimes, and denounce
the worthless class who, by immoral conduct and idle
ness, bringing their to shame. Noting this
Disposition which Is spreading of the better element
among the negroes to help in removing the cause for
displays of mob violence the Bastrop Vidette re-
marks:
"Such action taken because of the bitterness
aroused against the negroes account of the heinous
crimes that have been perpetrated in that portion
Texas recently. If negroes everywhere-those who re-
spec themselves love peace and desire the elevation
of the racewould condemn and practically assist Of.
fcers In Kidding their of the worthless idle char
aeters now so numerous in that race it would be the
most eifectual means of commanding the respect of
