NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APHIL 14, 1875.-IKIPLE SHEET, THE PARIS DECLARATION OF 1856, —_————. England's Position in the International Code Conference, A Critical Question for Disraeli’s Diplomacy. Lonpow, April 13, 1875. Tw the Bouse of Commons to-night Captain Baillie Cochrane moved that in the opinion of the House the International Code Conference, to meet at St. Petersburg, affords @ favorable opportunity for England to withdraw her agreement to the Declaration of Parts in 1866, Mr, Bourk>, Under Secretary of State for For- tign Affairs, spoke against the motion. He de ered England could not honorably withdraw from that declaration without the consent of the bther parties who signed it. Her relinquishment of the right to seize enemy’s goods on a neutral vessel was doubtiess a great concession; but Bogiand was a gainer by tho abolition of priva- ‘teering and in other respects, Ho thought the revival of this question tended to no good result, Z On the contrary, it was likely to raise other grave Issues, ana if persisted in would render England Mable to the charge of breach of faith. The motion was rejected by a vote of 36 yeas to 281 nays, THE DECLARATION OF PARIS. 4M addition to the Treaty of Paris which was Signed at Paris in 1956, after the Crimean war, there was perfected an important aeclaration re- Specting maritime law which has since been Keown as the Declaration of Paris. whis is tue instrument which was referred to in the Epglisn Patliamentary debate which we report by cable ‘to-day. The paper was signed by the representa- tives of the Powers then assembled, It reads thos:— | The Plenipotentiaries who signed the treaty of Paris of the 30th of March, 1856, assembled in Cun- consitering :— The maritime law in time of war has long been tho subject o deploraple disputes. That the uncertainty of the law and ofthe du- tles in such a matter, gives rise to differences of opinion between neutrais und belligerents, which Muy occasion serious difiicuitics, and even con- cre, That it is, consequently. advantageous to estab- Mesh a unilorm doctrine on so important a point, That the Pienipotentiaries assemoled in Con- gress at Paris cannot better respond to tne inten- tions by which their governments are animated than by seeking to introduce into international Felations fixed princtpies ta this respect. The above-mentioue) Plenipotentiaries being d@uly authorized, resolved to concerts among toem- selves as to the means of attaining this object; and, baving come to an agreement, have adyptea the following solemn declaration :— 1, Privateering 1s, and remains, abolished. 2 The neutral fag covers enemy’s goods, with the exception of contravaud of war, 3, Neutral goods, with the exception of contra. band of war, are not liable to capture under enemy's fag. 4. Blockades, in order to be binding, must be effective; that is to say, maintained by a force suficient really to prevent access to the coast of the cnemy. The goverpments of the undersigned Pienipo- tentiaries engage to bring the present declaration to tne knowledge of the States which have not taken part in tue Congress 01 Paris, and to lavite them to accedo to it. Convinced tbat the maxims which they now pro- claim cannot but be rece:ved with gratitude by the whole world, the nndersigned Plenipoten- tiaries doubt not that the efforts of their govern- ments to obtain the general adoption thereoi wiil be crowned with full success, The present declaration 1s not and shall not be binding, except between those Powers who have acceded, or spall accede, to it.

Sheriff Kirkendall, carrying tested to by both contending parties, but at the same tme dtametrically opposite in import, started en route for the Governor’s residence this morning, and will, in al! probability, arrive there at some hour during the night, But, thougn there is less popular demonstration in Hazleton to-day than usual, it isa matter of grave doubt whether mdividual excitement has since the arrival of the military ever been warmed to such @ heat.

TBE MINERS TO THE DERALD. I presented to the readers of the HERALD to-day the offictal communication trom the operators, in which were set forth the reasons why tbey thought the military should remain; and now I present the oMicialietier trom Mr. Hugh McGarvey, Prest- dent of the Miners’ Ass.ciation, in which are pre- sented the reasons why the military should te withdrawn :— Hazxeron, Pa., April 13, 1875. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.— Having been requested by the correspondent of your paper to state my reasons why !ne miners co give the same us my conscientious private opin- lous, based upon a knowledge of the entire tacts. ‘Lhe frst reasup, which vii disinterested persons Must concece to be the truth, is tuat the civil au thoritles have DOt exhausted their means to quell aby outbreak which has taken place, or which by the remotest possiblity migut have tiappened, Second, tro.ps are statioued in Audenred and Buck Mvuntam, in Carbon county, where there is uot only no necessity, especially in the soriper place, for them, but where tie Sheriif of wat county has nut even thought mecessary to call jor any troops. Toe only likely object tor calling the troops is not jor the purpose oi keeping the peace; but the operators Want to awe tue labore!s Into submis. siou, and compel them to accede to their wujast demands. This object, which has already teen partly Successiul, 1s calculated to create riot and conlusion rather taan tu quell them. Anotner object 1or the presence of the troops 1s to bring public opinion Gown upon the laborers, making the people at large believe that they are a dangerous class, het to be controlled by civil power, The tigers are determined not to be caught in apy of these snares, They will keep quiet, aud ure resolved to see whetuer they can be lorced to work jor rich capitalists lor too litte to live and too much to siarve upon, Certain circumstances lead me to believe that if the strike, or raiher lockout, should continue any longer time, certain cuttoloat ieases which the miners have tad to sign to obtain the miserabie shuntiesan which they huve to live, will be fore- d for this purpose tie military will be employed, go that the aistraint may be served un hundreds at once. GH MCGARVEY, President M. aod i. B. A. By comparing this letter irom the icadiug miner With that of the leading operator it will ne seen that eaca side considers itself imposed upon, and thateach is equally determined to endure to the end. Until the Suertf has had bis conference with tue Governor your correspondent is not in any degree warranted to predicate the tuture. Tne general impression ts, however, that for at least one week yet to come the troops will not be re- called, Tnose opposing the presence of the mill- tary are daily and almost houriy forwarding com- munications of protest to the Governor.

Dr, Leach, a young but talented physician, of Philadelphia, Acting Surgeon of the First infantry, N.G.Pa., has placed in my ands to-day his first report of the bodily bealth aud condition of the soldiers be- longing to the regiment under his care.

PEARANCE OF THE CITY—DESERTED AVENUES AND LBOULEVARDS—THE EFFECT OF THE STORM ELSEWHERE. Visions of violets and daisies, of cowslips and crocuses were rudely dissipated by the driving storm of snow ani sleet of yesterday. Grim winter was sternly disposed to assert ois sway, and instead of the gentis south winds, redolent of the memories of singing birds returning, of bud- ding trees and flowering shrubs, the earth w covered witha snowy mantle, Discarded Ulsters and greatcoats were once again brought into requisition, and for the time being the spring Jasmions were dethroned. Pedestrians hurried along the thoroughfares closely muffled up, aud eagerly soughs sheiter from the fary of the cutting wintry blasts. The avenues, which on Sanday were tbronged with fashionables, attired in garments zappropriate to that genial, sunshiny day, were all but deserted, The Boulevards, which Saring pleasant weather present a moving panorama ot life on wheels, wore almost a solemn aspecs, only relieved at long inter- vals by the passing of some tradesmau’s wagon, Toe Park with its hedges of hawthorn and privet ciothed In ermise, and trees standing out against a sola gray sky, looked like some spectral camp- ground, while ail along tne river jront tus ship. ping Wreathea in snowy whitepess, and fringed with icicles, were like phantom crait. All along the route of the various horsecat lines travel was | greatly impeded, In many instances progress Was so difficuit that the doubling up process was early resorted to, but even with jour nerses ior propeling purposes delays were more than ordinariiy irequent, Inside of the cars the buman dreight was packed, and it was with a sigh of the most profound relief that each passenger arrived at his destination. 1t 1s, atter all, on sucu occa- sions as yesteraay, When sweltering in a convey- ance crowded tar beyond its legitimate capacity, that ine inadequacy Of the present system and the necessity Jor some other ani betier mode of transit becomes apparent. In the lower portion of the city, chiefly devoted to trade and com- merece, trafiic was greatiy intericrea with. Jehus, with their proverbial Vo.ubility and pro anity, cursed the “clerk of the weather” ior showing his capricious nature at such a0 imopportune time, while proprietors of plices of amusements deplored the joss of prcspective receipts. In weuy iwstances the telegraph wires were broken by the weight of snow, causing considera- bie anboyance to that portion of the communiuy Who are required to use that medium oi commun cition, and as the storm has prevailed overa large exrent the traing and maus arriving bere were more or less delayed. THE STORM ELSEWHERE, At Manch Chunk, in Pennsylvania, the snow, Wwhica was Still lalling, was up to this evening nine inches de At Wilkesburre the storm was severe aud about Jour imches of snow was on the grounv, At Scranton about stx inches had fallen aud the storm haa not abated. At Philadelpma the traitic In the streets was interiered wiih by the slasn. At Paterson, N.J., the snow was apous four inches deep, Suow etl all day, up to a late hour last nigot, at Providence, Kt. L AT BOSTON snow had fallen since Monday morning, accom- panied by a northeast Wind. ihe storm Is one of the severest of the season, and prevails in Maine and New Hampenire. OBITUARY. REY. JOHN N.
