IIIWI `II The V AAI_ ,- IIJUUIIUVLIJ Ultcun WA8HINO'IfON,`M8,y J3 -There _ was a brief debate after the reading of the document relative to the Alabama claims, `involving the merits of the question. A motion was madeto re- move tlie injunction of secresy, but this failed,and the message and docu- ments were then ordered to be printed in condence and referred to the Com- -mittee on Foreign Relations. The:"e is scarcelya question that the Senate will advise the acceptance of the ad'- ditional article to the Treaty. THE TREATY IN THE SENATE. We learn from American sources. Mr. Sumner expresses himself` strongly in` . opposition to the Washington Treaty as it now stands, and advocated `removing the injunction of secresy from the correspondence and the de- bate that may arise upon it. He said that in England, whose Government was a monarchial form ; no such thing was known as a secret'discussio_n of the treaty,` and that whatever was said in Parliament on this subject, or whatever portion of this correspondence is com- municated to that body by the Minis- try will be open to the whole world. Thu nrnnncinn In llnrlrlnnb oI..:_ L.-. - Nnw Yoax, May l3.-A`Washing- ton special says :-- Since the negotia- tious so suddenly terminated in London on Friday last, over the consequential claims between the United States and GreatBri.tain, important correspondence which was inaugurated by General Schenck,.has transpired, by which the Washington Treaty is to be suspended for the present, or `until the two Gov- ernments can negotiate and ratify a new or supplemental.Treaty, covering T the disputed question raised." FROM WA BHINGTO N. WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Pre- sident may to-day or to-marrow send to the Senate in condence the cor- respondence relative to the Alabama claims. It will include the latest tele- arams, and show that several propos- itions had been made to accomodate the dierences as to the claims for con- seqnen_tial damages, though no con- clusion `has been as yet re_ached. The correspondence Wlll not be" published unless the Senate will remove the in- junction of secresy. The conference nfthe Executive on Saturday night was between the President and about a dozen Republican Senators,,and not with the Cabinet officers, as had been incorrectly stated. - Wanuvun-nna1 *l\llnu I9 rnL_,,, dastllnight -the fresident toonvened ad 1 special Cabinet meeting at the White House, at which this new-and import- ant phase of the situation was thorough- ly and earnestly discussed. The re- sult was, that it was decided, rather than let the Washington Treaty fall, to enter upon the work of framing a new Treaty `to include the point that hereafter neither nation shall make any claim upon the other for oonsequental damages, because of anyfailure on the part of either to observe strict neutral- ity when the other is a belligerent. Arrangements arein progress between Schenck and Lord Granville to secure for the present a suspension of the Ge- neva Conference. It will merely meet on June 15, and again adjourn. A new Treaty will at once be negotiated in London, and forwarded here for rati- cation by the United States Senate. If Congress adjouxns before the Treaty is received here, the President will convene the Senate in extra session to discuss and ratiiy it. The Administra- tion therefore yields the principle involv- ed in the indirect claims and shifts the responsibility from its own shoulders to the Senate. These facts are deriv- ed from ofcial sources, and may be re- lied on.` '\1'__._ 1r_.,_ it If! A vsrr I - uvvvulus l|VuU5o ' ue re spread so rapidly that very was saved.

He, Mr. (Macdougall) was sure that, if they had condence in the hon. gentleman's honesty, they . recognized so far his intellectual power, his knowledge of the constitutional law, his knowledge of constitutional history, and the affairs of this country, and re- vcognized him as being pre-eminently qualied to represent, defend, and ad vocate the interests of the people of this countryin any great negotiation of that kind. (Cneers.) Now, if that could _ he truly said of him as a public man he ( Mr. Macdougall) wanted to know whether, in the position he had occu- pied, he hadinot, with rmness and yet with delicacy, by consultations and ar- gumeals with his colleagues, ` en- deavoured` to bring about the best `ar- xangement for Canada, and one that had beenacceptable to us ! (Hear, hear.) He had no doubt whatever that that was the course which the hon. ' eagentleman had pursued, and that those who, on the Opposition side of the House, arraigned him, in their heart ol hearts had no doubt of it. (Cheers.) They did not believe that he had not `laboured to obtain the most favourable nrrangemens possible ; but it suited their purpose to nd fault, and to pick aws in what he had done. ' For what reason had they done that? Was it to promote a better settlement? Was it to secure a treaty that would be more favourable to this country`! By no `means. It was not for the purpose of advancing the welfare of the Dominion, but it was vto.gain a paltry, despicable, political advantage. (Loud cheers) That was the clear object of the oppo- A si`.ron,aiid no man could truthfully say that it was not the object. ' Now he could fearlessly stand up in that House and declare that that was an unworthy V and unpatriotic course to take. (Re- . newed cheers.) The Oppositton had duties to perform as well as Ministers. They were under obligations and re- sponsibilities which could no more be avoided than the responsibilities of the Government. This was all understood in England, where the 0 position, which was led by Mr. Disrae i, had a much better opportunity of injuring the Government in regard to" this Treaty than the Opposition led in the House by the member for Lambton. But what course had the Opposition in Eng- land pursued when the Treaty was be-. fore them! .I`h'ey criticised it mildly and carefully; they considered it with reticence and hated breath ; they made suggestions as to this course and the other; and, looking at theiwhole of the discussion, it was evident that they felt the responsibility of the great crisis that would come upon the country it they rejected it, and they refused to make use of the opportunity presented` to them, by imperilling the interests 01 of the Empire for the sake of any more party advantage. The desire of some hon. gentlemen was to raise a captions opposition, to nd fault,` and to act we against the interests of the Empire. He had no objection to sit down and con- sider the _views which prevail with many English statesmen, that Canada had arrived at a period of manhood, and the presentconstitution should remain in force, they should not attempt to as not possess, and could not in the inter- ests of the Empire exercise.

The deceased was living about Stayner, and had been sick some few weeks, with little prospect of re- covery-two Magistrates: there issued T 9, Warrant of Commitment to the Gaol; and removed her, every care was ex- ercised possible under the circumstan- ces. A woman was hired as nurse; but unskilled nursesare only plagues, and the poor sick woman, in this case: was only too glad to be relieved of` the inconsiderate attentions of even nurs- ing. The Gavernor of the Gaol and family were assiduousin their atten- tions to the last, and we knew that everything was done possible under the circumstances. But a Gaol is not a Hospital, and we beg to direct the at- tention of our County Fathers to the fact, that besides the want of facilities, the cost of this class of cases to "the : county is about three times as much as if` properly disposed of. The hospital - charge is forty cents a day. Mr. Lang's : municent remuneration is thirteen cents a.day-the nurse(!) one dollar a day, besides medicines and medical comforts. Poor economy this,` which ' grudges forty cents, with every atten- _ tion, and squanders three times that to the detriment of patients, and the worry j of the oicials whose, most earnest care necessarily falls short of their desires. " We do trust this growing evil will meet the:attention of our proper county authorities; and that a class of` inmates" now incarcerated in our goal will be be provided for elsewhere in some in- stitution adapted to their oversight. An inquest was held by Dr. Oliver; and the medical testimony of Dr. Ar- dagh, Gaol Surgeon, was strong` in con- demnation of the practice above refer- red to, as well as the Jury, who, through their foreman, Thomas McVit_tie, Esq., deprecated the sending of sick people to the Gaol, where no proper provisions can be madefor their necessities. ____. _..q_..v,. `: .

He said that, in order to allow an opportunityfor discussion on the statements he was about to make, he would bring up a formal motion for the adjournment of the House. After I alluding interms ofpraise to thefurbear- ance shown by Parliament during the controversy, he said he would com- mence his narrative of its progress with the lbth January, when it liecaine ' known to him that the claims for indi~ rect damages had been presented at Geneva by the_ American case. Her Majesty s Government then protested on the 3rd. February that the indirect . claims were not within the scope oftlie Treaty 0! Washington, nor within the intention of either party to the Treaty. Secretary Fish replied in April. that he thought the Geneva Board ought to da- cile the whole question. The tone of Mr. Fish s despatchwas most courteous. In the meantime, communication was received from Gen. Schenekjthe Amer. ican Minister, suggestinganothercourse which would be acceptable to England and America. This was to inter- change notes, setting forth the views, terms and conditions whereon both would agree to proceed to the arbitra- tion. We accepted this suggestion, continued Mr. Giadstone. and carried on the correspondence altogether by telegraph. On Wednesday, the 8th instant, President Grantsubmitted the proposition to the UnitedgStat_es Senate, On Thursday we ascertained that the proposition was not precisely as we understood it should be, because of the brevity of the cable despatch on which it was based. On Friday a draft cen- veying a letter of our views was for- warded to Minister Schenck, and al- though lengthy, it was `immediately telegraphed by him to Washington on Saturday. Gen. Schenck informed Lord Granville that the President had accepted and the senate entertained that draft. Mr. Gladstone thoughtthis fact was almost equivalent"`to ratica- tion. He begged for the ?urther c for- bearance ofthe House, now that the questionwas approaching a satisfactory issue, honourable alike to both nations. lfsuccesslul in this `negotiation, Her Majesty s Government hadaright to exact praise for settling a momentous question.

Vessels went there with-salt and other supplies, and brought back cargoes oi herring in bulk. Employment was thus given to the cooper and labourer iii reparing these , sh for ex rt, and as t a business was prosecut mostly in thewinter months when other employment was dicult to obtain, it always proved a great boon to the industrious. "We lost this trade also, when we lost "the Reciprocity Treaty, but it would return to asunder the treaty now o'ered for our accept- ance. A little more than two years ago, two vessels belonging to the - pro. vince of Quebec a_rri':.din Halifax from Labrador. ' They had between them 3, 400 barrels of herrings. Not _ nding sale for them in Halifax, they proceeded to New York, where they sold. The duty on these two cttr oes amounted to $3,400 in gold. uder a treaty of this kind, t-his $3,400 would go into the pockets of the owners and crews of the vessels, instead of into the _ United States Treasury ; and cases of this kind occured almost every day. The same reason applied to the mackerel shery, but with still greater force, the duty being two dollars per barrel. There was another feature connected with this shery, which ought to have a . . good deal of weight with this House in favour of the Treaty. American ves sels following the cod and inackeiel sheries were manned in great part by natives of some part of this Dominion. The chief cause of_ this was that, as the hands shed on shares, via. one half of what they caught, those employed on board of United States vessels got theirs .in free of duty, whilst the men employ- ed in the vessels of the Dominion had to pay the duty on . theirs. A hand catching twenty-ve barrels of mack- erel to his share on board of a United States vessel would receive $50 more than he would receive for the same quantity taken in one of `our own ves- sels. Aconsequeuce of this was that the best menwent on American ves- sels, and our vessels had to put up with the less capable. Indeed, should the , present state ofjthings continue much. longer, our people would be compelled- to gave up the hook and line shing al- together. During the Reprocity Trea- 1 ty the number of vessels following the hook and linemackerel shery had in- creased to about sixty in the county of 1 Lunenburg alone. Since then the number had been gradually falling of, until during last season only half a doz- en vessels engaged in that business. He had heard it said that the consumer paid the duty. Now whilst this might be the case with some articles, it was not so with the article of our sh. In our case,` ' our shermen shed side by side with their American rivals, both carrying the proceeds of their-catch to the same market, where our men had to contend against the free sh of 2 the American shermen. Let them illus- trate this. An American and a Pro- vincial vessel took 500 barrels of mack- eral each, both vessels were conned to the same market where they sold at the sameprice. ' One had to pay a duty of $1,000, while the other had not to do so. Who then paid the $1,000 2 Most I E; certainly not the purchaser or consum- 8` 1 er, but the poor,-_h_ard-worked sher- _ man of this Dominion, for this $1,000 _ 1 was deducted from his account of sales. ) At present our shermen laboured __ _ underdisadvantages_which made it al- Ii V most `impossible for them to compete = , with their rivals in the United States, Fi , and the removal of the duty as -- , proppsitpgi by $5118 Tglaatyhwould go a 5 grea on,an ena e em to ca !' good business where they, _now were Th but struggling or doinga losing trade. I," _ (Hear, hear.)_ There was another point _ 1 congecteld with this matter that _rnig_ht, W per ave an important bearing on _ ::e `s ing interests ereaft_er. Should Si, e island of Cuba, to_which we now _ exported a large portion of fish and 5,, lumber, our vessels bringing home _ sugar and molasses in_returii become mi independent, under United States pro- __ tectorate, as was intended had the re- Nii bellion .in that islandsncceeded; or 5: what was more likely, should it become . ' apart of those States by purchase or otherwise, with the present American tariff to meet us, we would be com". pletely cut of} from the , trade of that / island. But with this` Treaty in ex. istence, we would not only be secured from this contingency, but would have = that market open to us on much better C terms than at present.
