Effect of the Canal Treaty. Washington, Feb 7?It is learned tbat the text of the lisy Fauncefote treaty was the work of the state de? partment ; tbe British government accepted the docameut just as it was drawn, so the responsibility for whatever is contained in tbe treaty and the form in which it is expressed is chargeable entirely to tbe depart? ment Department officials are sur? prised at tbo amount of criticism tbst bss beeo directed sgsinet tbe treaty, but feel confident that it will be con? summated, providiug it is not amend ed. especially as to the fortification clause It is losisted by the officials tbst an amendment on that point would completely defeat tbe treaty, and it is iotimsted tbat tbe objection will be twofold, first, from tbe British government, and, second, from the president himself The president is ssid ?o regsrd tbe neutralization echeme ae completely obviating tbe necessity for sny fortifications for the canai. for by tbe terms of tbst it rangemeut every one of the maritime powers will pledge itself to use its army and navy, if need be, to pre eerve the abeolute neutrality of the csosl, snd fortifications will be un? necessary Attention hse been called to the statement that no matter what dif? ferences ot opinion may have existed up to this time as to the living force of the Clayton Bulwer treaty all doubt upon that point has been dissi* psted by tbe signature of the Hay Fauncefote convention By that act tne executive branch of the United States government formally recogniz ed the existence of a Clayton Bulwev treaty It is said to make no differ SSjos whether or not the Hay Paunce fote tteaty is rstified by the senate, the executive branch of the govern tneut, to which alone foreign govern merits may look, has gone on record.

Henry Watterson, writing in the Courier Journal of the Kentucky po? litical crisis, lays the blame of all the tronble on tLo Louisville aod Nash? ville railroad He writes as follows : The head and front of our present troubles in Kentucky, at once the source and the resource of the revo lutionsry proceeding by which Re publicsn government has been for the time being struck down and a mili? tary dictatorship set up in its place, is the Louisville and Nashville Rail? way Company. In the recent State campaign It supplied material resources in such abundance an to draw out all the dangerous elements of society and to put into activity all the forces of political adventure The two lead ing parties to the contract were as nothing by comparison with its gi gantic machinery for corrupting the election The hoi des of desperate mountain men who were precipitated upon the State capital could never have got there except through its agency It is at this moment the backbone ot tbe movement to transfer the State capital from tbe city of Frankfort, its lawful abode, to tho iittle village of London, in Laurel couuty, situated upon one of its brsnches in tbe heart of tbe vendetta region, whose turbu? lence has for years disgraced the Mate It is believed that the with drswsl of its support from the de facto government would stop dan? gerous and lawless proceedings. Six months sgo. foreseeing some thing of this situation, tbe editor of the Courier Journal wrote earnestly to tbe financial bead of tbe Louisville aod Nashville Railway Company to protest against its intrusion into our psrty affairs, hsving in vain sought to dissuade Mr Milton H Smith, its local president He was then, and has been for thirty years, the friend ol thst great corporation. Tbe finan cier (whose name is mentioned) showed my letter the courtesy of submitting it to tbe executive board, and did Mr Watterson the honor to send him a copy of its deliberations, embracing tbe reasons of its refusal to consider his appeal in tbe affirm ative. Tbs sole purpose of the Louisville aod Nashville wan at every ccst aod htttrd to def at tbe election of Mr William Goebel to tbe Goveroorsbip of Kentuoky. Mr. Goebel was a man of uoimpeacbed purity of private lite and of conceded professional ability During teo year*' servioe as a sena? te in tbe State Legislature no aot of his, txcepting wbat in known aa tbe Ooebel eleotioo law, bad brought tbe least r?proaob opoo him, nor aoy oo olean dollar bad ever ijeen ebarged against him, although money bought legislation has often flowed as free as water at Frankfort But in souie way bo had given deadly nffeooo to the tnaoagemeot of tbe Louisville and Nashville, aod this management felt that it must destroy him It has oortaiely done this But, in dciog if, it has brought upoo tba people of Keotuoky tbo iocaiouloblo wrong aod the dire disgrace of transactions unexampled in the history of rcpubli oao government.

EDITOR: You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent issue of your paper to tbe peculiarity of merchants in regard to advertising, in which you quoted them as saying that "in good times it was not necessary to advertise, and in hard times it did not pay." While we have always found that advertising paid us, we must confess that for the past sixty days any in? crease of business that we might secure by that means, could not have been satisfactorily waited on, as our clerical force has been taxed to its utmost capacity. Now that the rush of cotton is over and we have an opportunity to say a few words to our friends in the country, we desire to acknowledge, through the columns of the Watch? man and Southron, our grateful thanks to them for the liberal patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can offer nothing in return except our promise that their interests will be as care? fully guarded by us in the future as they have been in the past. It is particularly gratifying to us to acknowledge a very liberal trade during the months of September and October from our farming friends, to whom it was our pleasure to extend a credit during the summer. It proves to us that they appreciate our endeavor to be just and reasonable with them, when they need assistance, as we have always tried to be?uiir motto being LIVE AND LET LIVE Although we tried to anticipate this season's wants by buying a heavier-stock than ever before, our trade has so far exceeded our expectations, that we have been obliged to re? plenish frequently and freely every department of our store. In Dry (woods We bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices, Those Tar Heel Blanket? Which you have been waiting for so long have come at last. It was not our fault that they were not here sooner as our contracts were made in May for September delivery, but the mill has been so crowded with orders it was impossible to deliver them sooner. These goods are made in A Southern Mill From Soutnern Wool, By Southern Men and there are none better. They are improving on the finish every year. We are selling at the same price as last year; but if we have to duplicate we will be obliged to charge an advance. We only have about FIFTY PAIRS, so don't put oil* buying, or you may get left. SHOES. i Why the advance in cotton should have affected the price of shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We don't know whether it was judgment or luck, but our purchases for Fall were nearly double our usual contracts. We are buying now for Spring and paying 10 to 16 per cent more for the same class of goods, but those o l hand will go at the old prices while they last. In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe? cial to sav about The H. 0. Godnian Line for Women and Children. Our increased sales for these goods prove that we told the truth. Bear in mind we are still the Soli: Agents fok them and Guarantee EVERY Fair THE L. M. REYNOLDS LINK OF MEN'S SHOES, sold exclusively by us, are trade-winners. The prices range from $1.75 to ?3.60, and every pair warranted. If you want the best So 00 shoe buy a Reynolds. CLOTHING. This has certainly been our banner season in the clothing business, and if there are any of the men or boys in the county who have not bought a suit, it has not been cur fault : but fear? ing there still may be a few unprovided, we are keeping up our stock by telegraphing orders for shipment by express. if you need an overcoat see us before buying, as we have some great values. In our Hat and Furnishing Goods De? partment will he (bund some values that compare favora? bly witli the balance of our stock. This announcement would not he complete without a word about our GROCERY STOCK. This department is up to the usual standard, and that is saying about all that is necessary for it. Our MILLBURNB FLOUR, of which we believe there is more sohl in this county than other brand, is pronounced by those who use it, unsur? passed. O'Domiell & Co.
