WEDNESDAY, MAY 31,1871.

BANCROFT DAVIS has been sent as a 'special messenger to carry the Joint Commission treaty to Minister Schenck. Could not the treaty have been got to Schenck without sending the Assistant Secretary of State with it? Did Davis Want to take a little trip to London, and thence Qver the continent?

WASHINGTON dispatch says: Notwithstanding the fact that the order of the President to the army regarding the enforcement of the Ku Klux law has been distributed more than two weeks, not a 8iug}e,case lifts been reported from that source to the War Department in return and Governor Scott, of South Carolina, has also informed the Secretary of War that neither additional troops nor martial law are needed in that State.

suspension of Dr. Lanahan as

Associate Agent of the Book Concern revives the unpleasant quarrel among its officials which has so seriously disturbed the Methodist Church. The worst of these disagreements lies in the fact that once carried into the courts, as this has been, they inevitably bring discredit, not on the litigants merely, but on the Church too, and consquently scandalize religion. Any compromise which avoids publicity in those matters should, for this reason alone commend itself to these Christian gentlemen.

GOVERNOR SCOTT, of South Carolina, has assured President Grant that there exists in that State "a manifest disposition among the better class of citizens to put down Ku Klux organizations," and that it will not be necessary to enforetlie lynching act there.

Scott would have shown more manhood and more of respect for his office if he had told Grant that the Governor of South Carolina was sworn to take care that the laws of the State shall be faithfully executed, and that

the Governor,

and not the President, devolves the responsibility for their execution.

THE public sentiment which has been awakened by several recent murder cases cannot fail to have a beneficial influence. These cases nave brought to light that latent sense of justice which is almost universally discovered when any unusual demand for exercise call it out. They have revealed to a great multitude of men and women a conviction that to punish criminals, and to punish them with sufficient severity to deter others from committing the same crime, is not TftVftngeful, or cruel, but thoroughly benevolent. A bad life that has been forfeited by malicious violence is sacrificed to save many good lives, and to enable honest people to live without the fear of being robbed and murdered.

Washington Senate, on Friday, Senator Thurman proposed to remove the injunction of secrecy on the proceedingsattefidlip the ratification, of ibeJointCoramis£ut tile* Seriate would not

The time is not far distant when the humbug of secret executive sessions will no longer be tolerated.

THE Captain-General of the Island of Cuba has, apparent^ set up as an independent sovereign—at least he refuses obedience to the orders of the home Government. The Cabinet at Washington are now considering the seizure of plautations belonging to citizens of the United States on the Island of Cuba, Nearly two years ago a plantation, valued at between one and two millions of dollars, the property of a United States citizen, was seized, and though the Cap-tain-General has been twice ordered to lelease it, the orders have not been obeyed and he now claims as a condition of the release, the payment of $100,000 in gold. The disturbed condition of affairs in Spain has permitted the Cap-tain-General of Cuba to exercise the ',1 powers of an independent sovereign, and the orders of the home Government have been obeyed or not as suited his pleasure.

Such a state of affairs as this cannot very well be^Bttmanent.^ I

THE

early life he wrote for the Springfield papers, and in the maturity of his powers he published scientific an$l theological theories too profound for the comprehension of the age. He professed to understand all mysteries, explained spirit rappings, and endeavored fb enlighten his fellow men in regard to the seventh vail. His great scientific discovery was the utilization of the Old Force, by which he claimed to have stayed the spread of the cholera and other epidemics. He could instantly detect auy latent malarious or infectious qualtity in any object for instance, when several bushels ot potatoes, apparently of the first auality, were sold to him, lie recognized tnem by his odic tests as having been lodged in the cellar of a man who had typhoid fever, and peremptorily ordered them buried deep in the earth. His last discovery was a method of serial navigation which he had no opportunity to practically test. He had heen a daily opiumeater for fifty years, measured his food with scrupulous accuracy, and regulated his daily exercise by precise rules. With all his harpiless eccentricities he was extremely charitable to the poor, and was often shamefully imposed upon by unprincipled tramps.

The End.

After a contest of unexampled severity the last shot of the Paris insurrection has been fired. This remark should be go far qualified as to restrict it to the open fighting between the Versaillists and the Communists, because there is plenty of snooting still going on in the way of executions. "No quarter" is still the watchword. It is spoken aloud and in cold blood, and is cruelly and wickedly insisted on under circumstances in which the insurgents can offer no resistance. They are shot and bayoneted without mercy, and even those who surrender are treated in the same horrible fashion. The difficulty with the superior officers is not to guard against fraternization between the soldiers and the rebels, but to restrain the former from shooting down or running through with the bayonet, every insurgent who falls into their hands. "Brigands" and "assassins" are the terms applied by each party to their antagonists and French hatred of the Prussians and Prussian contempt of the French during the late war, were mild compared with the mutual incriminatory sentiments of Frenchmen towards one another. The dispatches lead us to believe that with cat-like cunning and pertinacity the Versaillists lie in ambuscade and pounce upon their enemies, as they appear in sight for the Communist leaders, now that all is lost on their side, endeavor, as the French say, to lie "perdu," but for the most part in vain endeavor to evade the vigilance of their enemies. For three days before the open fighting ceased, the resistance made by the Communists was very feeble, and yet they fought on until they were positively helpless. They contended in the open field under a terrific fire, and fell in such numbers as to cover the ground with dead and wounded bodies. The accounts which reach us are positively sickening. The cries of the helpless wounded could be heard far away from where they lay as they implored to be removed or even to be given a draught of water! A more stubbornly contested fight history does not disclose, and it is most deplorable to note this fearful revel of furies in the finest city of the world.

The last of the pitched battles appear to bfivo taken plaou iii the ncJglil)OrDOO(l of fielleville, Menilomoutant and Pere la Chaise. These contests occurred no later than yesterday morning, Monday, and the insurgents, by their desperate resistance, incensed the Versaillists to the uttermost. The latter lost heavily, and in return gave no quarter. Wholsale excutions of prisoners took place. Yesterday morning from forty to a hundred insurgents were shot at a time, and only a few minutes transpired between the executions. So jealous were the authorities of any escaping that the power to grant passes was withdrawn from the ordinary bureau, and no one was allowed to leave Paris without a pass signed by McMahon himself. The extreme vindictiveness shown by the conquerors is much more easily accounted for than justified. The pertinacious. defence of Paris, when| that defence necessarily involved a stupendous destruction of ifel palatial buildings and monuments, of art, was extremely Incensing. Pkiei arrest? and massacres of the clergy, ajld violation of churches added incalculably to ttre offense. The insurgents mercilessly used their advantage of firing ill ambuscade upon the Veraaillistsasthey moved through the city, infuriating them still more. Amf in Hie eyes of the Government, the Communists were rebels, and criminals, outlaws entitled only to death. Precisely what extent they have perpetrated malicious incendiarism and assassination is not yet satisfactorily learned." Quite enough is learned, however, to make it not surprising that vengeance in now wreaked upon the conquered. But the assasination of unresisting and unarmed persons can never be justified Cool humanity revaults at it. Necessity does not require it, and even policy protests against it. When entrance into the city was first gained, Thiers was re-

death of Mr. William Sheldon,

$ an eccentric old gentleman who lived in 1 Long Meadow, near Springfield, is announced in the Massachusetts papers.

He was a decided original, and as he possessed ample means he had nothing to do but nurse his numerous oddities througha life which was protracted to the term of eighty-three years. He was an ultra High Churchman, a thorough aristocrat, and a firm believer in the divitte right of kings. He did not even accept the results of the American Revo-' lution, which he considered an unjustifiable rebellion. He was a portly old man with long wliite locks, and his usbal dress is described as consisting of a bell-crowned hat of great breadth and feeiglit, J^gh standing collar, with a

orted to have proclaimed in the Assemthat to the insurgent leaders no mercy be shown. What effect this must have had upon the Communist forces may be readily imagined. How much it has had to do with the bitterly desperate defence that in turn lias converted the Versaillists from soldiers into summary executioners remains to be known.

The assassination of the Archbishop of Paris and sixty-nine hostages, at first incredible and contradicted, is again announced in a telegram from Minister Washburne. All who were concerned in so hideous an atrocity richly merit the merciless treatment that is indiscriminately inflicted. A page of history most red and most horrible, a revel of monsters rather than a conflict of men, is presented in this heart-rending drama. Is it over? Such deeds have a terrible vitality. It is but too probable that the reckoning for these black days of flames and gore will, in some form, go on, and that it will be long, long, before the heavy account is closed.—Mo. Democrat. 1

The Pennsylvania Resolutions. The Democratic party of Pennsylvania has concluded to deal with living issues only, and cease to attempt to revive questions which have been definitively setttled by verdicts rendered again and again at the ballot-box. In the Democratic State Convention which met at Harrisburgon Wednesday, aresolution was adopted recognizing "the binding obligations of all the provisions of the constitution of the United States as they now exist, and deprecating the discussoion of issues which have been settled in the manner and by the authority constitutionally appointed."

Of course, this resolution has special and direct reference to the three latest amendments to the Federal Constitution. The debates in the convention show that, and the speech of L. C. Cassidy, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, declared, it. The convention merely gave expression to a policy-and purpose which a large majority of the Democratic' party has long entertained, and which will receive the cordial endorsement the next Democratic National tion.—Cnicago Times.

fore the jury was empanneled

addressed Ihe Court as follows "I do not propose on behalf of the prisoner to adopt the course which some of our eminent professional brethren in the city of New York adopt in reference to challenging. I wish to have a fair, candid jury. did not believe because a man reads the newspapers and gets a history of an offense, that he is therefore necessarily incompetent. If it makes an impression upon his mind, if he is a fair man, that impression may be removed by testimony. I say, so far from ?t being an objection to a juror that he has been reading upon the subject, it is an objection if he has not read, showing a lack of intelligence on his part."

If our Legislature frould give us a jury law based upon some of the attributes of common sense, as indicated in the above sensible remarks of Counsellor Niven, it would be as nice, sensible and useful a little piece of legislation as they ..could well turn their hands to.

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

The following conVersatiorirecently took place between parties living in this city, and being reported to us, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with a new dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it? Mrs. K.—Fifty-five cents a yard. -U -t I

Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it! Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where got mine.-^^Vs

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town-, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. B.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they Said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I aiu tolo that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented ,,

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut off a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out tliey would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in I happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half vny moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you ALL your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to the buyer. No other store town wlllTio that. ]ytPB. i.—xvow you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of.the firm assaulted in the streets— efforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them. :, -ik."

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I prom ise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm my self, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging. ii^Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around toiwe New York City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and^ see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place, i.ilf,

Wflv

FOSTER BROTHERS.

Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours? Mrs. R.—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY HTORE. .$•.*'i* «-t B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's I wouldn't buy a cent's worth "f? ,5 i» I

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customere, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don happen to get suited.,

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

1JJO- -«v

:We submit the above without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is qnite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf.
