GENERAL CONDITION OF THE NAVY Annual Reports of the Heads of Bureaus. GENERAL WASHINGTON OESPATCHES. Wasutwaton, Noy. 14, 1878. LOND SALISBURY'S REPLY VO MR. EVARTS’ LET- TER REGARDING THE FOB! BAY OUTRAGE, The following is Lord Salisbury’s reply to the de- Spatch of Secretary Evarts, concerning the injuries §us tained by Americon fishermen in Fortune Bay andtaho attitude of the home government in regard to the colonial legislation sffecting our rights under the Treaty of Washington :— Foreign Orvice, Nov. 7, 1878. fim—-Her Majesty’agiMvernment have had under their consideration despatch from Mr. Evarts, Parr 2th of September and communicated to me on 12th ult., respecting the complaints made by the government of the United States of the injuries sus- tained by American fishermen in Fortune Buy in January iist, This despatch is in reply to my letter of the 25d of Au in which I @rwarded o copy of the report jhed by Captain Sulivan, of Her Majesty's stip Sirius, on the occurrence in ques- tion. Mr. Evarts now remarks that the United States rovernment have not been put in possession of the tions which form the basis of that report and are unable, therefore, to say whether, upon their con- wi m, the view which the government of the United States takes of these transactions, upon the sworn statement of their own citizens, would be at alh modified. Her Majesty’s government have not had | the opportunity of considering the statements in juestion; but the depositions which accompanied ptain Sulivan’s report..and which I now have the hynor to forward, appeared to them, in the absence of other testimony, to be conclusive as regards the facts of the case. Apart, however, from the facts, in respect to which there gppears to be # material di- vergence between the evidence collected by the United States government and that collected by the colonial authoritie’, Mr. Evarts takes exception to my letter of the 23d, on the ground of my statement that the United States fishermen concerned have been guilty of breaches of the law. From this he infers an opinion on my part that it is competent for « British authority to pass laws in suppression of the treaty binding American fishermen within the three mile limit. In pointing out that the American fishermen had broken the law within the territorial limite of Her Majesty's dominions, it had no intention of inferentially laying down any principles of international law; and no ad- vantage would, I think, pe gained by doing so to a greater extent than the facts in question absolutely require. I hardly believe, however, that Mr, Evarts would jn discussion adhere t0 the broad doctrine which somo portion of his language would a] to convey—that no Byitish authority has any ht to paes gny kind, of law binding Almericans who are fishing in British waters; for if that conten. tion be just the same disability applies a fortion w any other Power, and the waters must be delivered. over t6 anarchy, On the other hand, Her Majesty's government will readily admit, what is indced self-cvident, that British sovereignty as regards these matters is limited in its sco) by the engagements of the ‘Treaty of Yashington, which cannot be modified or affected by municipal legislation. I caunot anticipate that with regard to these principles any difference will be found to exist. between the views of the two govern- ments. If, however, it be admitted that the New- foundland ators have the right of binding, Awericans who fish within their waters by any laws which do not contravene existing treaties, it’ must further be conceded that the duty of determining the exiatence of any such contravention must bo under- taken by the governments and mitted ‘to the discretion of each . individual fisherman; for such discretion, ff exercised on one side, can hardly be refu on the other. tt cd American fisherman may violently break a law which he believes to be contrary to treaty a New- foundland fisherman may violently maintain it if he believes it to be in “accordance Mee treaty, As the points in issue are frequently subtle and require a considerable legal knowledge nothing but confusion and disorder could result from such a mode of decid- ing the interpretation of the treaty. Her Majesty's govel 't prefer the view that the law enacted by the LePislature of the country, whatever it may be, ought fo be obeyed by natives and foreigners alike who are sojourning within the territorial limits of its juris- diction; but that, if a law has been inadvertently passed which is in any degree or respect at variance with rights conferred on s foreign Power by treaty, the correction of the inistake, as committed at the earliest period after its existence shall have been as- and recognized, is a matier of international cannot be re- It is not boy amy stated in Mr. Evarts’ despatch that he considers any recent acts of the Colonial Legislature to be inconsistent with rights acquired by the United States under the Treaty of Washington, but, if that is the case, Her Majesty's government will, in a friendly spire consider any representations. he may think it right to make upon the subject, with the hope of coming to a satisfactory understand Ihave, &e., SALISBURY. Joux WELsH, Esq., &e., &e., &e, OUR NAVY—REPORTS OF BUREAU OFFICERS. Commodore Shufeldt reports to Secretary Thomp- son that during the past yoar sixty-threo vessels have been either wholly or partially equipped at the sev- eral navy yards, at an expenditure as follows :— Yor lar teeeh SUN For material, stock on band . + a8 For material purchased during the year... severe $717,010 36 tons of coal have been purchased for the use of the navy, costing, including freight, $288,222 09, + 280,530 pounds of Mantia hemp haye been pur- chased, costing $23,867 54, During the year $644,140 have Ween expended for the equipment of vessels; and under appropriation contingent (equivment and recruiting, 1878), $51,452, leaving a balance on hand of $15,564: All the galleys needed for the navy havé beon manu- factured at the Washington Navy Yard. © An iron roll- ing mill has been ostiblished at the Washington Navy Yard, costing $9,953 23. This mill will furnish all the iron required for use at the navy yards, and will utilize the accumulated wrought iron scraps at the several yards and furnish material at a reduced cost. The “conduct repor' to the bureau exhibit a marked improvement in the conduct of the enlisted men, the statistics showing a decrease of ten por cent compared with last year. The number of deser- Hons during the year was 660, and during the previous year 818, Five hundred and twenty-three boys have been enlisted during the past year. There are re- maining on tho training ships 440 boys, who are ad- wancing the tone and morals of the service. With the training system on a permanent basis the manning of our ships by native born scamen will soon result. If it ie the intention of the department to continue the presont system of training ships Commodore Shu- feldt recommends that the sailing vessels Constitu- tion, Saratoga and Portsmouth be retained for that purpose, These yesscls are among the last of our sailing vessels and are peeuliurly adapted to the pur- poses of training. He recommends that during the winter the Consti- tution be stationed at New York, the Portsmouth at Philadelphia and the Saratogs at Baltimore, ov at such other ports us the department may direct, and that during the summer these vessels should eombine for a cruise and exercise in our own waters, under the cornmand of the senior officer. The system inaugurated by the department of hay- Ing cortain of our ships in reserve for sea servico—in preference to old hulks—as a rendezvous for recruits at the naval stations, should be extended. As tite Wabash is at Boston, the Colorado at New York and the Franklin at Norfolk, the Commodore recommends that the Minnesota be stationed at League Island as a teceiving ship and marino barracks. ‘The Chief of the Bureau commends to his successor the apprentice boys of the navy. ‘Those wards of the government, who come from the rank and file of the country, are tho future guardians of tho uation’s honor. The efficiency of the navy depends upon its officers and mon, and not upon its abips and guns. XARDB AND docks, Commodore R. L. Law, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, in his report says no appropriation for improvement of pavy yards was made for 1878-79, excopt the small sum of $75,000 for the con. tinnation of work on the Mare Island dry dock. / N#W. YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1878—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘This sum,will be nearly alt expended next month, ‘Yhe work is of such a nature that delay in finishing it will add greatly to the expense. The chief hopes for & Congressional appropriation that will avert an alter Aoatrdetion of the wake by the giving way of coffer dams. ‘The following estimates for the fiscul year ending June 40, 1880, are give For support of the burean.

A large part of the increased: effects with the new guns is due to the improved powder adopted. From the published results this progressive powder does not appear to be superior to the United States standard nayy powder, adopted in 1872. The stock of powder has fallen very low and a special appropriation should be made for the purchase of 4,000 barrels.. She new powder cannot be manu- factured in haste, nor to advantage in the winter sea- son, 80 a stock shouldjbe kept on hand to meet emer- gencies, Several machine guns have been presented for trial, but they possess no particular yalue over those already in use, ‘he Army Board on Small Arms has made » favorable EAROF on, and recom- tended for adoption, the Hotchkiss magazine gun. Its adoption, however, would involve a change of calibre, and thus throw out of service all our machine guns 2s well as the small arm in use. Any immediate change is, therefore, deemed inexpedient. THE TORPEDO BEATION. The torpedo station, under the command of Cap- tain K, R, Breese, has graduated the usual number of officers, and, with the 'y limited means at its com- mand, ‘has practically investigated the subject of electric lighting as applicable to the defence against torpedoes, the experiments in counter-mining and the clearing away of torpedoes, Last year, however, was quite barren in torpedo results. Notwith- standing the war, in tho East the offensive devélop- ments have been very small, Captain John Ericsson has been for some months engaged in the construction of a vessel which bids fair to be a new step in advance in offensive warfare. The vessel is now near com- pletion, and it is expected that soon &@ trial will be made. The Hotchkiss revolver can- non, ordered by the bureau two years ago, has been réceived. The s#pectal advantages of this gun are that while it fires a snell of a pound weight with a high velocity, it is pointed from the shoulder, thus enabling @ veritable field picce to be fired with all the accuracy and a much greater rapidity than the rifle small arm. Its calibre is one and half inches. It has five barrels, its total weight being 440. pounds. Ic can be fired at the rate of titty shots per minute, and, pointing with care, from thirty to forty shots. ‘It penetrates at 1,000 yards any of the modern torpedo oats, such as the Thorneroft, and, after passing through, the fragments have snfficiont force to penetrate the watertight bulkheads, It would ap- pear, then, that we have in the arm an absolute de- fence against surface torpedo boats, and except in circumstances of fogs or darkness no surtace bvuats can approach within one thousand yards of a yessel roviced with these guns. ‘Chis gun would also be extremely valuable for the purpose of firing into the open ports of ships, or for clearing parapets of bar- bette guns. The Chief of eau, therefore, recom- mends an appropriation for the purchase of a uumber for actual trial in service, . MEDICINE AND SURGERY. Surgeon’General Taylor, cliief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, seys in his report that the.gen- eral health of the navy has been good, with » edighe increase, vor, in the percentage of sickness as compared with the previous year. The increased death rate js due to the loss of the Huron. The bal- ance of the Navgl Hospital fund on hand is $47,746. The continuance of the Hospital establishment re- quires about $100,000 annually to maintain in its present state. From 090 to $40,000 is received an- nitaily from the ofiicers and men of the navy, conse- quently an appropriation of $60,000 will .be required, STEAM RNGINERING. W. H. Shoek, chief of the au of Steam Engi- nearing, gives an exhibit sho’ the -burean to be entirely free of debt, with a small unexpended bal- ahece of appropriation ‘and a surplus on account of the appropriation for deticiency, $25,452. In view of the unsettled etate of affairs on the Mexican border it becomes a matter of the first importance to have the Pensacola Navy Yard placed in the high- est state of efficiepey. ‘The tools required to equip the propo additions to the shops could be supplied, to some extent, from the other yards without affecting their*present efiiciency, He makes an earnest appeal for the mechanies employed. in our yards and stations, for whom there is no provi- sion in case of death or disability in tho discharge of their dutics. An arm or a leg is broken, wn eye is lost, « hand is crushed, or perhaps instant death overtakes the laborer, and that is the last of him and his family, us far us the government ia,concerned. Upon the subject of the old and feeble the chiet speaks with fecling, recommending that Congross make provision tor them. CONSIRUCKION AND REPAIRS. J, WV. Easby, chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repairs, gives in his annual report the list of vessels on which work in repairing or completion was performed during the last fiscal year as twenty- nine in number, Several others, including four tors und two large torpedo bo: are in good condition aud ready for service, One of the large monitors now building (the Miantonomoh) can be completed with the tunds alreaty in hand; the others—viz., the Monadnock, Terror, Amphitrite and Puritan—cunnot be finished without an addi- tional appropriation. We are prepared to buiid and fit out snips in all of our yards, except Pensacola and League Island, We are ‘nog thoroughly repair ing the Lancaster, Wachusett, "Tennessee, Juniata, Yantic and Leoquois. The service requires te un- armored cruising ships, und also one or more powerful rems, The cruising ships are not only wanted to re- place some of those now in commission, and which tor lack of speed are not suited to the wants of the service, but they would be absolutely necessary for us in case of war with any maritime Power. With fast ships we can destroy the conferce of an enerfly and be on equal terms with his whips of like character; while in the ovent of meeting with powerfal but comparatively slow armored ships we could leave them at pleasure. Believing that hem pres would not long delay the ap- Propriations need for veescls of this character, 3 have been giverfto Lave plans prepared constructors having the work in charge for iron unarmore’ cruising vessels of 3,500 tona dis- placement and iron rams of 2,000 tons displacement, hese plans will, it is thoug! uubine wil the ih- provements in ship building for the lust few years, tho estimate of $1,500,000 for the next fiscal year will be required in keeping in good or- der ships needing but slight repairs and in completing or extensively repairing the follow- ing named vessels:—Mohican, Brooklyn, Ossipee, Hartford, Canandaigua, Monacacy, Lancaster aad Ashuciot. The propriéty of ridding our yards of ships not worth repairing or completing, bat which are @ constant source of expense, either by selling then: at auction or breaking them ap, is again sug- ested, in either case the proceeds to be made availa- ple for repairing or building other vessels, TUE MARINE convs, Colonel Charies G. MeCawley, Commandant of the Marine Corps, reports 1,950 enlinted men in the Ma- rine Corps, of whom 1,053 are on ships in commis- sion and 88? at the several ehore stations, He sub- mits estinates for 400 additional privates, thg num- ber allowed by law—1,500 being insutticient to apply the demand of the navy and properly perform the duty required. The naval stations equate prowction and the versels guards, Immediate attention is invited to the subject of barracks fur onl!sted wen and quarters for officers, Leayme Waland, A tig and Norfolk are without propor accomzandations for cither, The barracks of the navy yard at Washington are too small and should be enlarged, ‘Lhe bartacks at Brooklyn and Mare Island, the best wh have, are out of repair, and a special appropriation for them is rubmitted. ‘Th nituber of second Houtenants is now reduced ti twenty, and under the iaw nine more vacancies must occur before any appoiatmeuts can be made, and when appuintwents are resumed he recomanends that, the appointees be graduates of the Naval Academy, with a due proportion of worthy non-com- missioned officers to be exautined and promoted as is done in the army. He also recommends the passage of an act requiring the examination of officers before romotion to a higher grade, as is the law in the navy. ‘he recouunendation of last year is renewod, that the Marine Baud be placed by Congress on a proper foot- ing, as reyards classes and pay. Attention is called to the tact of the detachment of the corps, protecting the goods of American exhibitors at the Paris Exposition, having by their appearance, discipline and efficiency elicited much praise from kuropeans and Americans, and as having been favorably compared with the troops of other nations on duty there. ‘The commandant closes his report by saying that every effort has been made on his part during the ast year to bring the corpe up to t! Lest state of Uisciplinedaud elllciency y ia all military exercises, and the inspections show s marked improvement. THE UTAH POLYGAMY CaSTs-—ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL BEPORE TUE SUPLEME COURT. ‘The first of the Uiah polygamy cases which stand on the calendar of the United States Supreme Court for the October term came up to-dey on @ssignment, and was argued by Bevjamin Shocks, of Utah, fot the prisoner, Gcorge Reynolds, aud by Attorney General Devens for the United States. Beynolds, who is a Mormon, was indicted by the Grand Jury in 1875 for haying con- tracted a poly; ne marriage. Upon his plow of not guilty he was tried im ihe District Court for the Terzitory of Utub and convicted, Upon appeal to the Territorial Supreiae Court the judginent of the lower tribunal wes afftrmed, and the prisoner there- Avon appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States on a writ of error. ‘The erzore sasigned are very numerous, but only one of them involves a question of general public intervat, namely—whcther the United States Congress has the coustitutional right to prohibit polygamous mnarriages in the Territories, It was contended by the counsel for the prisoner that polygamy is enjoyed as a religious duty and held a4 an article of faith by the xect to which the latter belongs, and that Congress is forbidden by the first amendmeht to the constitution “to make any law respecting an estab, lishineut of religion orto prohibit the free exercise thereof.” He argued that polygamy differed from other criminafMsfences, in that it had no evil intent, and quoted from the Old Testament, from Sir Thomas Browne and from John Stuart Mill to show that it had not been considered a crime by many pure and emi- nent men. Attorney General Devens, of the couusel for the United States, urged, in reply, that an interpre- tation of the cougtitutiun which would restrain Con- gross from astiaching a penalty to the crime of poly- gamy onaccount of its being an article of religious faith, would also restrain it from attaching a penalty to any other crime which might be sanctioned by religion; that under this rigid inter pretation of the constitution a sect of East Indian 'Chugs who should settle in the ‘Territories might commit murder with impunity, on the ground that it was sanctioned and enjoined by their system | of religous belief. ‘He closed with un eloquont and impressive reference to the well known Mountain Meadow massacre by the Mormon “Avenging Angels” 48 an illustrationof the fanatical extremes to which men unrestrained™by law might be carried under a mistaken conviction of religious duty. ‘The argument will be continued to-morrow. GEN. JOE JOHNSTON INTERVIEWED. [From the Washington Post, Nov. 14.] Ricumonp, Va., Noy. 13, 1878. Eate last evening & representative of the Post was eccorded an interview by General Joseph E, Johuston, who will represent the metropolitan district of Vir- ginia in the next Congress. A painful though not serious accident, reeulting in a bruised knee, at pres- ent confines the General to his modest residence on Grace street, in the city of Richmond; but, aside from this, his more than threescore and ten years have left him straight as an arrow and as full of vi- tality as many a man of fifty years. There has been such a cry already raised by the vindictive radicals of the terrible disasters to be brought upon the country by a solid South, that the views of General Jobnston, who will naturally be a leader, will have an interest for people of all parties. Replying to a question as to the probable financial policy of the Southern Rep- resentatives, tho General said:— —' “Speaking first for uryself, I am unalterably for honest money. If my views were otherwise [could not have stood upon She pete upon which I was elected. Upon this question I stand with the iptelli- gent and patriotic men of the South, who ere not to be deluded by flat sophistries.. The war tanght us the value of a currency whose issue was illimituble, and God knows we are now too poor to try a repeti- tion of the experiment.” “What is your opinion of the attitude that the Southern majority will assume in shaping the policy of aa bc si “Without any advice at all upon the question, I will venture to say that the attitude of the gentle- men from the Southern States will be such as to disappoint the irreconcilables of the oppo- sition, who have, I see, already begun an effort to array a solid North against.a solid South, We will probably have little to say. in reply to rad. cals of this stamp. Our acts will speak more em- hatically for us, Soctionglism was killed last ‘Tucs- , and long before 1880 the “solid South’ and the “solid North” will be forgotten terms. ‘The people ot the South have known for thirteen years that the war was at an end, but these long range radicals and latter-day warriors cannot, p trae Set, be brought to a realization of this fact. The revival of the charges that it is our settled policy to saddle the war debt of the Confederacy upon the country is absurd—con- temptibly so—and it passes my comprehension how any intelligent reader can receive such reckless in- ventions with patience. ‘The South 1s now as close a of the Union as is New England; Virginia has the same interest in the gpneral prosperity of tho country as Massachusetts and her Representatives, and the Representatives of the South will be found to be aa active in support of all measures tending to the general good of all sections of the country as the gentlemen from Maiue or Vermont. General, what is your opinion of the future of the greenback party in Virginia or the South?” “They have no gature, sir. ‘Chey were buried be- yond hope of resurrection on the Sth, and deservedly #80. Here in Virginia they had no inciple. The corner stone of their hopes was laid in dithonesty and their.doom was foreordained. To their schemo for a piebald currency ,they added here tho policy of repudiation of the State debt, and though Congre: men can have no share in the settlement of that qu tion, still the clection of their candidates would have heen hailed as a signal victory for the repudiationists. But, to the credit of Virginia, they have failed sig- nally, and the world will now understand thafwe will ineet our honest obligations.” In the closing moments of the interviow the con- vérsation turned upon the probable course of the Southern delegation regarding the Speakership; and while General Johnston declined to cominit himself thus carly the tenor of bis remarks left the clear im- ression that the sentiment of the South would be in favor of the election of a Northern democrat. ‘The General said in sq many words that that would be the wisest course to follow. OPPOSITION TO CONVICT LABOR, The shoemakers of Newark mot at Purn Hall last evening and expressed thenelyes unanimously in favor of having shocmaking by convicts in the State Prison at Trenton abolished, Jamos Healey presided, and speeches were made by Alderman Stamsby, As- sembiymen-elect Thomas O'Connor and W. H. F. Fiedler, Charles G. Bruemmer and William H. Brown, late democratic candidate for Sheriff of Evsex county, All declared themselt heartily in sym- pathy with tho movement Yo abolish skilled jabor of all kinds in the State Prison. ‘the resolu- tions adopted by the State Convention of Shoemakers were read and declared to be the sense o\the meet- ing. These resolutions set forth with great ferce the arguments against the Stute putting convict labor in competition with free labor, and declare’ “that we hereby enter our most solemn protest against and condemnation of this pernicious system that has ‘worked so much berm, and we declare and pledge ourselves to adopt every legal aud honorable meavs to have it abolished and blotted out.” The resolutions also act forth that there are 609 convicts employed at shoemaking in the Tren- ton State Prison, and that nearly $200, is thoveby taken from the wages of honest labor for the benctit of greedy contractors. Ali mechanics throtyhout New Jersey are earnestly urged “to organize at once by petition and othervise in order to give weight and force to this just demand.” AN INTERESTING PIGEON MATCH BETWEEN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY CHAMPIONS—NEW YORK WINS, ‘ Rep Bask, N. J., Nov, 14, 1878. An intoresting pigeon imatch took place between Mr. BR. B. Angell, of the-New York, and Mr. Edgar Green, one of the leading crack shots of the Mon- mouth Pigeon Shooting Club, to-day at Boyton Beach, near Woodbridge. It was a match at twenty-iive aside, trap and bandle for each other; 25 80 boundary.

Angell next eftcountered a qitarterer to the left, and missed. Up to the thir- teenth inning there was quick work with the birds, when the Fant J man went wide of an incomer, Again on the fifteentli inning Monmouth’'s champion scored 0, while the New Yorker kept on dropping his birds nicely until his twenticth bird, whic! rapid driver—fell four yards beyond bounds.

TROTTING AND PACING IN C FORNIA. {From the San Francisco Cal, Nov. 7.] ‘The first race yesterday afternoon at the Oakland Trotting Park was something of « novelty, inasmuch as it was the first of the kind for three years. There were three teams to start, viz.:—Lou Whipple and Flora Shepherd, Gus and Dirigo, and Prophet and Milton Medium. In the betting Gus and mate were the favorites, bringing $45, to $40 on Prophet and mate, to $20 on the two mares. « ‘The first heat was won by Prophet and mate in 2:3814, all of theteams being somewhat unsteady and indulging in frequent runs. After this Lou Whipple and Flora Shepherd settled to their work and won the other two heats by honest, steady trotting, scoring the fastest time ever mude by a pair of horses in Cali- fornia. The time was }, 2:34 and 2:39. They were driven admirably by J. N. Killip, aud the race was a very #atiatactory one, only to the losers. Tho pacing race brought: out the Kastern crack Sweetzor, Nimrod and Dan Bice. Nimrod and Sweet- zer had to pull wagons, while the namesake of the veteran showman was barnessed to a sulky. Sweetzer has not only the fastest paring. time to his credit, but being a stable companion of vas i was supposed } by many that he would be able to beat the natives. His wagon was tho one which was built for Rarus and elicited the encomiums of all , who saw it in Chicago, and Hopeful, harncéset to it, redaved tho wagon time nearly four seconds, «It only weighs sixty-four pounds aud ruus so traly that there is the lightest ossible draught where tour wheels have to be pulled. Nimrod was the favorite in the betting, the odds being $20 on him, $10 on Sweetzer and $6 on Dan Rice. Considerable money was invested at — these odds, and even when Rice won the first heat in 2:20!, there was little variation in the rates. For this heat Nimrod was the competitor, and im the second Sweetzer endeayored to make the succumb. ‘The gray broke soon after passing the half mile, and agein when coming down the stretch, Rice winning in 2:23, ‘fhe third heat Rice broke soon after the word was given, and all his chances were lost. Sweetzer and Nimrod had a continued struggle for the pride of place, the Eastern representative outlasting his competitor, winniy %. | Before the word could be given for the fourth heat it became so dark that the Jolges were forced to post- pone the finish until to-day at one P. ML. Accompanying Swectzer are Rarus, Adelaide aud Catniar, and they come off their long journey in fine pondition. They were anxiously watched while tak- their walk yesterday afternoon, and the universal opinion was that great as bas been their performances in the East they will be likely to improve on them while here. To make such a race as Sweetzer did, with only oné day intervening after thétermin: of ¥o longa journey, speaks well for what they will be able to accomplieh when fully rested.

GENERAL DI CESNOLA UPON THE ANCIENT HIS- TORY AND Ake OF CYPRUS. ‘The well known Cypriote explorer, General L. P. di Cesnola, just evening delivered m Chickering Hall the second of his course of four lectures upon the ancient artand history of England’s new possession. He beggn by recalling the points be had made in his previous lecture to prove that there was in Cyprus an advanced civilization, with skilful sculptors aud engravers, long before the reeks emerged from a barbarous state. ‘Vhis done he set out fo show how the Phoenicians spread thein- selves in the island soon after the Trojan war, super- seding the previous settlers and opening up the mines and other natural resources of the country, but leay- ing the higher development of the ‘fine arts to the Greeks, ‘The Cypriote Niad, the lecturer said, was in ancient times considered better even than the immortal poem of Homer. It had been said, indeed, that Homer himself was born in the island and the assertion had never been disproved. The Iliad referred to was, the speaker said, more popular and had nore influence over the poots and painters of Greece than those of the great blind bard, It began with the story that the carth, beginning to be burdened with mankind, prayed Jupiter for some mode of lightening it, The lectygrer brieily sketched the course of the poem, waich ends with the wars of Troy. ‘THR GRERK INVASION. The settlement of the island by the Greeks, the es- tablishieut of the carly kingdoms and the conquest o¥ Ptolemy, who expelicd these monarchs, were de- scribed in @ brief and entertaining manner, with a passing allusion to the cuneiform inscription in the British Museum, giving the naines of seven of those ancient kings who reigned meny centuries before the birth of Christ. a ng of the 1aassive gold brace- 4 which are now in the eteoperan t the lecturer noted the fact ghut the ave inscribed Were un- ‘yprus. ‘The frst inscrip- tion of the kind was upon a tablet and all attempts to decipher it until Profes- sor Samul Burke, of the British Museum, found thef while the characters were peculiar aud theretofore unknown, the language was Greek, and that the tablet recorded a grant of some lands and was worded after a fashion which would do credit to a Philadelphia lawyer, it was not until the time of the great Persinn wars, the lecturer remarked, that the island bocame conspicuous in history. Briefly tracing the events of these wars and ‘the part borne by the different colonics of Cypriotes, who fought with the Greeks or the Persians wa- cording to their respective origin, interests or syinpathies, the speaker passed on to the art of sculpture as it Was found after the termination of the contest. In the remains discovered in the island there was, he said, much that was common to all Cypriate ‘art, and’ which was neither Assyrian nor Egyptian, All the statuary was sculp- tured in the round, an art known to neither of the nations named. ft an interesting dissertation upon the traces of Egypt and of Assyria found in Greek art the lecturer remarked that the art of the former nations was always suggestive of the idea of slavery, whereas Greek art was connected with the idea of freedom, yet of freedom within cer- tain bounds which the experience of ages bad proved to be necessary, CYPRIATE POTTERY. The programmes ributed among the audience being illustrated with picti of objects in the Cesnola collection, now in this city, the speaker ro- ferred from time to time to one or another of these as showing the condition of art in the island at the periods under discussion. That all the vages found in the island are of local manufacture he was positive, although among them could be traced no continuous progress in the potter's art, as inthose found at Athens. One of the most important manufac- tures of. Cyprus in thecarly ages was that of liquid per- fume: the first efforts of her potters were directed to muking receptacles for these. Many vases of a later period showed unmistakably the connection of the Cypriotes with Athens. One vase pictured upon the programme the General pointed to as positively. of Phenician workmanship as shown by the orna- mentation, consisting of perpendicular lines with circle, A short and entertaining account of Soli, to which city Solomon retired, of the two temples there, of Paphos and the white column to which St. Paul is said to have been bound and flogged by order of the high priests of Venus, together with a number of pithy anecdotes, served to enliven the lecture and to lighten the more profound portions, ‘The next lecture of the course will be given on Thursday evening next. THE CROWN OF MEXICO. ‘The rogular monthly meeting of the Long Island Historical Society was held at thdecond Presby- terian Church, corner of Fulton Clinton streets, Brooklyn, last night. After the passage of a resolution expressive of respect of the society for the memory of the late William Cullen Bryant, Mr. John Bigelow read a paper entitled “The Heir to the Imperial Crown of Mexico.” He said that attention hed lately been directed to, Mexico and’ its recent history by the announcement that ‘the son of Angel de Sturbid had centered the military school at Woolwich, England, for the purpose of ac- quiring aknowledge of military life. The lecturer then sketched a short history of Mexico from the time of Cortes, 350 years since, to 1834, when Maxi- milian, the Archduke of Austria, assumed the crown of Mexico, under the title of Maximilian I. Mr. Bigelow said that it was in the month of December, 1865, while. he was resident in Paris as the diplomatic representative of the United States, that he received a note from Mr. Seward requesting him to meet the mother of the son who had been adopted by Maximilian as heir to the throne, and to render her any service he could that would not. tres- pass upon his official duty, He asked him to do this inasmuch as she was a native of the United States, and her maiden name was Alice Green, and she had married Augustine lur- bide. Mr. Bigelow then detailed with considerable tendemens of expression the auxiety of this lady for the good offices of the Emperor of the French to ob- tain for ligr from Maximilian the recovery of her son, she having found that her mother's love would noi exable her to keep the agreement entercd into with Maximilian to abandon him, The French Minister of Foreign Affairs declined to intercede, on the ground that a contract had been, ‘entered into, and that his government could not The interview of this arlotte, when the latter ar- n to,'the Emperor and on way to Rome to see the Pope, was then described, nd the unwillingness of the Empress to wge upon Maximilian the giving up of the child.

Joseph Cook, of Boston, delivered his lecture last evening on “Lterfal Hope” in Washington Avenne Baptist Church, Brooklyn. The audience was a very large one, though the invitations to the lecture were, im agente, privately given. Rev. Dr. Johnson, of Phila- delphia, secretary of tho Breedmen's Burean of the Baptist Home Mission Society, wished to raise @ little .enthusiasm and a little money for the cause he represented, and both were accomplished by hitching Joseph Cook to the freedmen’s car, Henco, after Dr. Johnson had presented the claims of the colored men of the South to recognition and aid from Baptists of the North, and had shown the need for employing more missionaries where thoy now employ some, Mr. Cook added his words of on- couragement. After a collection had been taken up for the freedmen, Mr. Cock went on with his lecture, It was given in the form of a soliloquy, and on either side of him in imagination he | placed William M. “Eweed and William Cullen ryant. Then following out the character: istics of each, he demonstrated as clearly as the logic of a supposable case would admit, the per- manence of character. He traced the unity of law also, and classified al! iaw under three heads—physi- cal, pA mae and moral—and by showing what occurs under the operation of the first ‘two, and in part un- der the last, laid the basis for a strong presumption that there is no repentance after death. At the samo time he tried to keep God's will and man’s will free, He quoted from Canon Farrar tw show that the Canon has only « “hope” that repentance may come to sinners in the fature life, and from Dante, Milton, Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Whitticr and others to show thut thore is none at foundation for such a ho, and English words in the or the very barest He expounded Greek blo to prove that punish- ment ts eternal, but he modified his former concep- tions of the materiality of torments in the life to come. And because the probabilities as well as the possibilities are against repentance after death, he ‘was not willing to trast his own fate to the future or to take a leap in the dark at death. And what he was not willing to do himself he was not williag to advise any one else to do. ‘or two hours Mr. Cook held the large sudience spell-bound as he drew picture after picture of his representative characters. He made many points in elucidation of the fact that conscience in man may become so seaved and dead that he will not know that he is qpad and blind spiritually and morally, and that going from this life to the next in that condition, there is no evidence that the light from the throne of God will have any effect on him, CONFLICTS OF LIFE, Rey, Dr. Huebsch last eventug delivered the first of a series of lectures before tho Young Men's Association in the vestry of the temple at Fifty-fAfth street and Lexington avenue. The title of the discourse was “Lights and Shadows,” but the lecture. was, in fact, a philoso. phical discussion of the, conflicts of life.

The annual fair of the Brookiyn Orphan Asylum was opened last evening at the Academy of Music in that city and received thé most promising popular patronage. The Soor of the parquet was filled with tables, laden with useful and ornamental articles of every description, the handiwork of hundreds of fair ladies of Brooklyn who are | interested im the welfare of the fatherless and motherless little oues enjoying the shelter of that noble institution. The balcony and stage were handsomely decorated with bunting, and choice flowers lent their fragrance to enhance the beauty of the surroundings.
