the United Stie~s troops anmd the ne-~

bundred shots exchanged, and one

several negroes wounded. The white
Ditizens had nothing whatever to d(
with the affuir. There was one Ya.
kee atranigor wounded by a stray bul.

grew out of stindry "beatings" inflict.

the officers were to b'linmo for not tak

them and.iilring upon . them through
the streeta of the city, rege.rdless o1

The convention now concluded be- pt

ed by her Majesty, under the advice y
of the Minister by whom it was con- st
oluded, but no similar obugation rests a
upon the Senate of the Uuited States, p
vhose consent is required by the eon

ment. And such is the hostility of s
the Senatorial majority to the present

un th.it it is quite conceivable that b

to give time for the republicans, as- b

would be likely to conclude; namely,
that having been substantially framed h

and actually signed and sealed by the h
liberals, it, is safe from more party n
cavil and criticism. On the other n
hand, it is sure to be unpopular in n
America as the work of President
Johntson ; while an exactly similar p
treaty, negotiated under the auspices Si
of his sucessor, would have the bene- n
fit both of the party spirit of the re- b
publicans and of the personal popu- i
ltrity of General Grant. In any
case, the present convention may be t
confidently regarded as enibodying the r
