The variance be-. tween the two Btates is 23 to the Potomac boundsry, each State claiming to -the farthest -low-water ‘mhark of that river. ‘'The claim i8 =an -important one, as it gives to the successfal State jurisdiction, not only over the channel of the river, but also over & number of small islands, and nfl'ecta some very valuable oyster-grounds.

The Californians’ are the papers are- urging mske ' preparations for’ providing * warehouses farmers to future’ - b; Oneof the most important questions which tional system, and, the prospects. are, that a severe battle will be fought over it in Parlia- ment. Under these circumstances, the follow- ing figures and facts, which form the ground- work of the Catholic demand, will be of interast. At the clossof 1871, there were1,021,700 children on the rolls of the national schools, of whom 821, 769 weroCatholics and 199,669 Protestants,— the Catholic pupils thus forming abont 80 percent of the whole number. More than half of;the Roman Catholic pupils, 417,018, aro educated in achools which are tsaght exclusively by Roman Catholic teachera. There are 252 schools which are abaolutely unmixed in a Protestant sense. "Of the 673,796 pupils on the books of echools. with a “mixed attendance, 364,347 are Roman Catholics, in 2,869 schools, tsught by Roman Cstholic teschers,, and having only . the small number of 26,863 Protestant pupils.” In 1,165 schools taught by Protestant tesch-, ers, there - ere 126,786 Protestant pupils and: 98,285 Roman Catholics, The remaining 27,516 children are quite evenly mixed in 123 schools, chieflyin Ulster. The decided preponderance of Roman Catholic sttendance will undoubtedly tion, but it is decidedly questionable whether Parliament will concede all that is asked for.. RECIPROCITY AND FREE NAVIGATION, The National Board of Trade has ‘at last reached a decision 88 to what ought to be done with regpect to our trade with Canada. The proposition adopted is that Congress be memorialized to suthorize & commission, acting under the.Btate Department, to' arrange. the terms of & treaty with Great Britain for the es- tablishiment of reciprocal trade with thio Cana- d.mn Domunon on o liberal basig; the treaty to "contain some gusrantee that the Cenadian Gov- ernment ‘will ‘g0 enlarge the Welland and St. largest_clagses of vessels, and upon terms of equality to the people of both countries. " We congratulate the National Boerd of Trade and the pedple of Canada and of the United Statea upon the great advance in sound public opinion ag shown in the almost unanimous vote | by which this recommendation was sdopted. TThe other opposing propositions were, one from RBuffalo urging,Congress fo appropriate: some '€15,000,000 to enlarge the Erie Canal, and one in favor of Teciprocity with the censl enlarge- ment left out. - It was gravely asserted in the Board of Trade that New York "could not be ex- pected to'enlargo her canals for the benefit of the people of other States; and the ssmegentle- man who made this remark was opposed to per- mitting Canada to enlarge the Welland Canal, lest trade should be diverted from an American to a foreign port! New York, then, so farad this gentlemen represents hér, refuses to open 2 canal through her own territory except by a tax upon the whole country, znd protests against Canads opening her cenals at her own expense and making them’ fres. to the people of both countries. New York has had the Erie Canal in operation over 40 yeers ; she has drawn from it B pevenue more than double its cost, including interest; it has made New York City the com- ‘merefel metropolis of the nation. With & sur- plus of nearly forty millions of revenue drawn from the Erie Canal, the State refuses t6enlarge its capacity, to deepen it, widenit, or adapt it to the increased wants of the country. The City 6f New York, upmindful of the wealth - which this canal hasborne to its doorg—unmindful of the fact that her commercial Supres take any stops to make that canal -degn.nte‘ to the incressed trade of the count " Tt is one of those sbeasditics Fhich n\pgbt to Coinpoaéd of comirierelal men, t6 -.mm that the Stateof New York'i# not interested in the trade of .the Erie Cnna.l, and that- if the peopla ‘of the West want an enlarged canal they must piy forit- Apart from the fact that the conntry hes paid for thiepreseht canal twice over, if Now York wants the trade of-the West, it is as much her duty to furnish & highway.for that purpose as it is for the City ‘of New York to provide paved streets for'the convenienca of those doing business therein., Theré is no more reason for texing the country $20,000,000 to enlarge the Erie Caval “ than - there is for taxing it $10,000,000 to enlarge the Ponnsyl- vania or the -James River Canale. If Now York does not:want the.trade of the West, and ,therefore, refusés the means of reaching that city, then the West must seck a market by that route which offers the best facilitics, The natural outlet of the Northwestis by the Bt. Lawrence. That river is within a foreign Jjurisdiction. Iis navigation is interrupted for a certain distance by natural obstructions. Yoars ago, the Canadians overcamo those obstructions in great part by canals which, like the Erie, swere adoquate at the time for the commerce that then existed. But trade is no longer to be carried on in the smell ciaft that foated thirty years ‘ago. Larger canals, sdapted to afeam navi- gation, are now needed, and Caneds, With an entorprise and - public spirit ; which' must eventually succeed, is about to widen .and ‘deepén her canals that the steamers aud pro- pellers which leave Chicago may meke continuons voyagé to Montresl, or into Lake Chnmplnm, thus furnishing New England with breadstuffs direct, and filling all orders for exportation at Montreal. The fact that this will incresse the volime of receipts and shipments st Montreal isof the least possible concern. Corn, which sells at 92}¢ cents in Liverpool brings the pro- ducer 15 cents &t the railway station in Iowa. The 77 cents differenceis the cost of transporta~ tion. If Canada gives us continuous steam navi~ gationfrom ChicagotoMontreal, thereby redutitig the cost of ‘transportation 20 cents per bushel and adding that sum to the value of the corn in the hands of the producer, then the Canadian Government pdrforms a benefactionto thetwenty millions of grain producers in the country, and' the fact that Montresl is s foreign port ceases to have the least significance. If we can get twenty cents or one cent more per bushel for corn and wheat sont Enst by way- of the 8t. Lawrence thanwe can for the same grain sent by the Erie Canal, can New York City, expect that the Western States will not avail themselves of the more profitable route ? Grain at Montreal is 88 near Liverpool as grain ‘at New York, and every cent taken off the cost of getting it to either of these placesis a cent added to the valuo of the article: on the farm. The Canadians ask a renewal'of the prrncxty Treaty—a treaty which was beneficial to us &s well 28 to them while it remained in force. What is 80 easily granted as this? How emall a price it is to pay for 8o great a boon. The National Board of Trade is to be congratulated that, sfter 80 many years of discussion, it hasbeen abie to overcome old prejudices and all gelfishness, and now give this measure & strong and neuly unanimous approval. HENDRICES AND PENDLETON. The Democratic Committees of Maine, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, and Indians, have frankly stated that, in the recent elections in those States, the . Liberal Republicans did ell that was promised and expected of them, and that there was noth- ing to prevent the election of Kimbell, in Maine, Buckalew, in Pennsylvanis, and the Lib- eral tickets in Ohio and Indians, save the fell- ing off in the Democratic vote. Had the Demo- cratic vote of Pennsylvania been polled for Buckelow, he would have been elected, notwith- standing the enormous frauds. . When the Beltimore Convention sdjourned, there were a number of Democratio votens in the country who did" not like Mr. Greeley; who' had been edicated to look upon him ssan enemy and life-long opponent of Democratic principles. These gentlemen declined to accept MMr. Greeley, just as other Democrats would bave declined to accept Mr. Adams, Mr. Chase,” Mr. Curtin, Mr. Clay, Judge Davis, or any other person of Republican or Whig sntecedents. These persons have no feeling in common with the supporters of Grant, but, being opposed to Greeley, they have kept silent, taking no part in the clection. But, for every one of these Democrats who, upon principle, failed to vote for Kimball, Buckelew, and Hen- dricks, there was. another Democrat who, hav- ing no principle, nsed Mr. Greeley'’s nomination ‘88 & pretext for selling his vote. These latter had no difficulty in finding buyers. The Grant leaders had money, and were prepared to pur- chase whatever was in the market, If they “conld not purchase Democratic' voters at five dollara a head, they were prepared topay $500 to any Democratic clection judge who would count 100 Buckalew votes as so many for Har- trapft; it was immaterial to tho purchasers whether the votes were actually delivered in the box, or delivered in the official count; they looked to the Democrats to furnish the required vote, and were ready to pay dowa the stip- ulated ‘price. A’ Pennsylvania politician, who reached this city on the morning of Oct. 8, the day of the election, while in his cups at & hotel, declared that he knew from personal knowledge that Hartrantt would be elected in Pennsylvenia, and that the Republicans wonld carry the Legis- lature and Btate ticket in Indiana; he =aid these results were not open to any doubt, because they had been purchased and paid for, and only the forms of delivery were needed. This statement isverified in the results in Pennsylvania and partly in Indisna. In the lower wards of Phila- delphia, there was a complete revolution, not by tens or twenties, but by thonsands;'soin Lu- zerne County, where the Democratic vote went over by thousands to Hurtrauft ; so in the cities of Reading and Herrisburg, andin every place where that class of Demacratic voters were with~ | in the reach of money. President Grant's clance, and the only purchase a portion of thé Democratic party, not uerely to abstain from voting, but to voté di- rectly for him. The Democratic_vote is divided into three clesses: ..1. The Democrats who will vote for Greeley and- the Liberal tickets for State officers and Congressmen; 2.-Those. who propose to abstain from* voting ; and,” 8.{ Those whose votes have been purchaséd by thel Grant organization. The importance to Gzneml Grant of avoiding an adverss decision at the’ mx elec- tions forced his party to purchase at lenst ,c 000 Democratic votes in ‘Maine, thereby ' tearrying that State, and electing sll the Republican ' Con- gressmen. An even larger proportionate- vote %io and Indiens, -the Democratio Grant'a za-plection, he mu,vlgsg Bome of the e banished, st Jeast from the Aebatesof 2 Bosxd .own.

To the venal and purchassble, no matter of what party, it is useless to address argument. But, to those members of the Democratic party ‘who propose to elect Grant by non-voting, the recent elections must certainly present matters for serious consideration. Those elections show & combination of the-Republicans of the ex- treme, vindictive - policy, with the corrupt, venal,- -and purchasable white men . of all porties, and * the uninformed, clan- nish, snd cqually vindictive negro popula- tion.” Againat this combination of the followers of Builer and MMorton, the dishonest and sal- ablo voters, and tho negroes, is it not the duty of every honest, low-ubiding friend of personal liberty, responsible Government, nnd fair elec- tions, to bury all past _prejudices againgt’ men, and unite to rescue the country from 2 Govern- inent chosen by such meens, and. relying upon such support. The Hon. Groree H. PexprLe- ‘ToX and the Hon. Tmowas A. HENDRICES, two Democrats who are'shove all suspicion of per- sonal interost, will deliver series of nddresses in this Btate during the next ten dsys, beginning at the meeting at Madison ® and Market . sireeta to-night. They “know that the whole Democratic : vote,” if polled, together with the Liberal Républicans, can carty their ‘What is true of Ohio and Indiana is true of Illinois, and we invite thoge Democrats who have intended not to vote atsll to hearthese two statesmen, who by res~ son of their intellectual - ability and personal in- togrity, are unquestionably the leading Domo- “eratic statesmen of the count THE ENGLISH-COAL-FAMINE, . A despntch, printed in.our last issue, states that orders haye already been receiyed nt Balti- more for the purchase of coal for the English market, which indicates that there is little pros- pect at present of dny abatcment of- the coal- famine in that country. The latest .English mails give anything but a cheerful account of the coal business. The dearth’ does not grow out of any exhaustion of the supply, but outof the miners’ strikes, which have wronght serious conBequences, not only in the extraordinary rise in the ‘price of’coal, but in the iron business, which intimately ‘sympathizes with ‘cosl. The strike of the miners was followed by a nmke of the .iron-workers, and this was followed by a. strike. of..the .wives of both against the butchers, while the genaral public is indignant against the employers for rhising the price of iron &nd coal, which tho policy of their men rendered inevitable., The effects of the rige in England have been felt in ' France and Belginm, where the dealers have not only been selling at very remunerative prices, but have "stépped in and taken away s part of the English iron trade, because they could undertake con- tracts at lower fignres. The French deslers in coel have shrewdly taken ndvmtags of the rige across the channel, and, giving us an excuso that the coal was all being sent to England, have raised theprice from ten to twelve francs per.ton for household purposes, while, in reality, the home production has not diminished, the importations: are equal to former years, and the quantity in “bond is unusually large. A correspondent of the London Daily News, who has been travelling through the coal districts, gives some interest- ing details of the condition of the miners, which led to the strikes and the subsequent rise in prices. He represents that, hitherto, the miner has been a8 much at the mercy of the employer a8 if he wore collar and chain. He is not a citi~ zen, having neither municipal, perochisl nor Parlismentary vote. He is dumb in every coun- cil. He lives in the pit--village, near the mouth of the pit—must live there, 88 there is no other place for him—and lives rent free, house accommodations being part of his wages, which makes the employer responsible for the manner in which he lives, and for the vice and squalidness which make the miner reck- less of all the obligations he owes to society.. ‘The correspondent in question draws the follow- ing picturae of the miners’ hovels in the district of Durham: The walls insido are like those outside—fissured, honey-combed, rotting. The aky fs visible through the bare sloping roof ; there is not’s cupboard in tho ‘place, nor the vestige of a scrap of farniture. In ome corner, rosting on four stones, is the door between the front and back room, Which has becn taken off ita ‘binges, and, with the dirty bundles of rags upan it, is made to servo s bed for thoe family. There aro six children, sud o haggard, wretched mother; not ono of the familyis so clad s to comply with the ru- dimentary requirements of detency, mor i thera o morsel of f00d in the place. o pass on up and down more closo-packed rows, back-to-back, of squalid DbroXon-roofed hovels, whose walls are roiten and ‘mouldering, whoso floors are damp, and the wretched- mess of whose interiors, spite of good furniture in many cases, is only excecded by the nbject misery ond foul horrors of the exterior surround- ings. The heggard women beset my companion ss wo pass, aud pray.to be removed into better houses, Have wo come to seo nbout repairs? e canns live 1n oor hoose, menster!” God knowa I donot wonder atit; who but pigs could? Homo love, sobriety, do- ‘mestic comfort, modesty, godliness,—is it not a bitter mockery to imagine the posaihility of such things in boles and amid surroundings at which a savage would- shuddor? The privies in Coxhoe one may reckon ess- ily on his fingers, The night-soil is cast upon the ground around the houses, first to snturato it with sewage, then to percolate into the adjoining beck, and finallyto be drunk by the people of Durham, The solid garbage nccumulates on the ash-heaps; flth, fish- bones, cabbage-blades and ashes make up the mounda which in some cases lean ngainst the walls, never aro many ateps distant from the doora. The coal proprietors assert that the ‘present dearth is attribptable to the miners’ préference for coarso and sottish recreation, rather than for making Iarge and steedy wages by comtinuous be true, then they are directly responsible for it by neglecting the sosial elevation of the miners’ condmon. The remark of & squalid woman, in one of theee hovels, to'the wonaspandent lrum the p:upnetnm R 14 webetmnted like beast- cssea, then we acts as beas nssea.'{ The very strike of these miners shows the falsity:of the asaertion.

The ' ~coal - miners’ strike ™ ia England is the !fierce, -ungovernble revolution against wrong) which has grown out of ‘every specios of serfdom the world nver, the ussamon of mflependance. the -craving £t better things, and the determination 'to hove ‘them, which are the inevitable out- growths of alavery. *1If, then, tho cbal'shd iron emp]oyeru want to refain their busiress) and. not. .find the ;United §tates filling thoir cusfomers), ‘arders ‘for caal, .aid ‘France and Belgs fi; ncL puxthasable and . which wes 3 o is | miore Noveisber.

Labor and capital ‘must find a common meeting-ground, and slavery is. the poorest form of labor in which capital can invest. With rogard to the condition of the coal trado in thig country, it can hardly be-said that the presence -of English orders in our markefs is altogether pleagant. It is taken for granted, on all mdefl, that coal will be higher next season than this. The Jron World, of Pittsburgh, Oct. 8, says: ‘“The Teceipts of coal during the last yveek have, been quite large, yet there are no stocks on hand wortby of mention, and coal may be. considered scarce. The coal men are extremely and unwisely reticent, and will impart but little information as regards the re- ceipts and shipments, and, consequently, wa can only give a meagre report.” Louisville is threstened with a coal famine. The Zedger of that city says that the amount of coal which Louisville consumes during & year is about 9,000,000 bushels, and that thers are not 50,000 bushels of coal in the city, ja-" cluding that in the yards and the 20,000 bushels: in the boats on the river. The Ledger adds: ‘¢ Unless something is done, and that- speedily, it'ia feared the gréat factories and fnumeces will ‘have to suspend, for they cannot sténd. the present prices, and their supply is by no means 28 full as last year. It is & pity.that we nre so dependent upon forsign sources of supply, but it is our own fault.” The facts which we have given above, the famine in England, the English orders in our market, the. famine at Louisville, and the prospect for high prices ahead, intimate~ -1y concern the public, for it i xn the. pnbhc ‘which ‘ust pay the .piper. . ——— Our roaders will remember that, some time since, Mr. §. Baring Gonld, the eminent English antiquarian, very satisfactorily demonstrated that the historical assertions concerning William Tell were all unkne, from-the fact .that there mever was any such person as William Tell.- The statement has been reiteratéd many times since, and additional antiquarian discoveries have con- firmed Mr. Gould’s itonoclastic announcement.

They sey: * Tell never re- fused to lift his hat; never fived at an apple on his son’s head, although the very crossbow with which the deed was done is "exhibited in Zurich ; he never crossed the Luke of Lucerne in 8 tempest of wind and rain ; he never boldly jumbed-upon the Tell Platte; never spoke his speech in the defile, at Kussnacht ; and, never ahot the Landvogt,”, fo., ete., and wind up with the statement : *“ There never was & Land- vogt Gessler, nor & William Tell.” -This settles the question beyona -all cavil, althongh it will, not allsy.the public md.xgnatwn ngl.mst these mousing sutiquarians .who are upsetting the popular- idols, one by one. Bo . the legend of Tell true or not, it hes done splendid service the | world over, in the canse of liberty, manly cours age, and nobilify of character ; and they might -bave lett it alone to go on. with its good " work;, without any damnge to the cause of truth. While new heroes are’ growing so' mu:ce, it seems s’ pity to lose the old ones. —_— We hnv(xeceive\i the following note from Pro- fessor Aiken, of Baltimore, the .chemist who' made the analysig'in the cage of the lady sup- posed to have been poisoned by Dr. Schoeppe- and, later, in the case of the person sapposed to have been poimned by Mrs, Wharton : P Tt0RE, Ao, Oct. 10, 1872, T the Editor of The ehfeagn Tribune Srm: To-dsy, for the first time, I have seen 3 copy of your Issue of the 12th ult., containing comments on the Bchooppe case, Theso comments, X fcel gure, would not haav been peoned ‘if the writer had' been aware of my exact relation fo that case, It has sulted inferested parties tomisrepresent mo for a very long time; and, in the absence. of oll explanation on my part, 1t {5 not strange that those who do not know me- should ‘have sccopted euch misrepresentatioms’ as truths, In o Baltimoro paper of the 2lst ult., I have given T brief statement of facts in relstion to this ustter,which statement you will find inelosed, Trusting 10 yous acnse of Jusiico 1o, reliove me razh the falag positionin which (innocently on your part) I have been placed before your numerous readers, I _remain, re- Bpoctfully, yours, etc., W.

Men of science do not seem tobe above the jealounsies and rivalries of less learned men, snd the ucqmtmls of Dr.fchoeppe and Mrs, Wharton have given those opposed to him a friumph which, to the public, who do not undertake to decide the scientific questions in- volved, mey have an undue weight in detetmin- ing the merita-of the controversy. We 'disclaim any purpose to do Dr.” Aiken any injustice; and ‘rogret that, following the current publications concerning him, which were uncontradicted, we have even seemed to misropresent him. - —_——— The State Librarian of Connecticut, Mr. HGad~ ley, is doing 2 work for that State which, itis to be wished, somebody would do for every other. He is publishing, in a series of volumes, tho public records of Connecticut Colony, mmn from the mm\mnnpts that have been hidden _away for many years in New Haven and Hart- ford, shd in London. ThePublic Record office,’ in the latter city, is rich in menuscripts relating. to American colonial bistory. So, also, are such' of the French archives as have escaped the touch of Time snd Communists. These archives teem with facts concorning the early history of Illi-- nois.. The Spanish records’of the eighteenth century must be studied, too, by .the man who would write' that history well. Itis a curions fact that these two nlien nations across the ses have taken far more care to preserve the history of Illinois than the State herself has. No Leégis- | lature has ever deemed it worth while to appro- priate a fow hundred dolldrs either to collect or- iginals or copies of these old manuscripts, or to. take sufficient care of the new manuscripts with' which its session filled the office of the Secrstu—y of State. The public records of the Btate are in. a very imporfect condition. - Valuable papers have been borrowed and then forgotten, and. of- ten stolen qutright. Dfore emphatically than al- 'most any other community do we need the ser- vices of some such man as Mr, Hoadloy, to save whint can be asved from the wreck of therecords of Tlinois as & Colony, & Territory, and a Btate. z bt o b4 Ruskin willfind fresh opportanities forhis ele- gant and scholarly grumbling -in the projected plans of some cepitalists {o make Rome 3 plece of feshionable resort, It.’ig“ow intended to build & whole quartier in the-Istest and :grand- eat style of.architecture; :to".accomplish which, some of the most noteble ruins will have to be removed or destroyed.

At the present rate of progiess, the fine flavor of entiquity which pervadeg the Etornal City will soon be lost, and the grand.old historical asso- ciations which cluster -about it will give place to the frivolities and | ‘dissi- petions of the fashionable preaent, Railroeds, steamboats, canals, horse-races” and. hntelnvn!.l make short work of the ancient_gods, thq sporta | of the Coliseum, the trinmphal ehmots, the " low-browed, blg«u:ewed Roman the atately Roman women.

The German’ Correspondent, printed in Berlin, and devoted mainly fo Germsn pohfiul news; Galignani and the American, Register, in Paris; ond the Swiss Times, in Genevas, are already firmly established and doing & good business, It is now announced that anew paper, printed in English, will shortly be started st Rome, to be called the Daily News, (and to 'be conducted by an American, Mr. Deniels, brother of a former Miniater Resident of tho United States at Turin. Rome i8 nowsupplied with little, inferior Italian penny sheets, the quality of which is indicated by the names of some of them, such as the-Thief, Satan, ond the Tower of Babel. There is evi- dently & want in Rome of a good paper conducted after the American fashion. The necessity for such a peper also shows the extent of Engush and American travel, and the number of resi- dents who have a knowledge of our language, or m mp)dly acquiring it. —_— The details of the composition of the French fleet have just been published, aud show that it consists of 104 vessels, fully equipped,7 of ‘which are iron- -plated, lnd 62 ships of the re- gserve. The xarines composs a force of 28,441 men. The smount allotted for new veasels during. the year 1872-73 is 22,000,000 francs, The ofi- cers of the' fleet comprise 2 Admirals, 12 Vice Admirals, 24 Rear Admirals, 100 Ship Captains, 200 Erigate Captains, 640 Ship Lieutenants, half of the'firat and Balf of the second class, and 500 -other.officers, of two classes. Thirty-six vessels are gtationed at the Antilles and in the South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, while 24 are sta~ tioned at 'Algeris, Egypt, Martinique, Guada~ loupe, New Caledonia, Reunion, and Majyofte.s However much France may hava suffered in her land-forces in the recent war with Germany, her naval resources seem to be as effective es ever. The architect in charge of the restoration of the Cathedral of Stradburg has just published his Teport, the details of which will be of nni~ versal interest. The expenso’of restoring the masonry will amount to 240,000 francs, and the repaira of the roof to 187,000 francs; the re- placing of the glags and the. inside fttings will .come to 143,000 francs, and other accessory re- pairs to 28, 000 francs,—the whole amount being 598,000" francs, or $119,600.

B - The incoming Lord Chancellor of England, 8ir Roundell Palmer, who wasthe advocate of the English cause &t Genevs; is an earnest High Churchman. , The Safurday Review says of him: 4Tt is, perhaps, to be Tegrotted that, in many pointa of his career, ho too much resembles an admirable model which is too perfect in itself to need reproduction in dnplicste. Except st the time of his hesitation in the matter of the Irish Church, Sir Roundell Palmer has sdvanced step by step with Mr. Gladstone. Both distingished st Oxfard, both High Churchmen, they have, by n simultaneous deviation from the doctrines of their youth, advanced far round the circle of political belief towards the opposite extreme of opinion.” POLITICAL. + The City of Chics.ga voted, in 1868: for Grant,, 29,300; Seymionr, 17,038; total, 89,338.
