Wonderful Trees.
Among the remarkable trees in the world, the fol
lowing, of which we have compiled brief descriptions,
ore some of the most curious:
The Braxil+ut Tree.-The Brazil-nut tree may
lastly command the attention of the enthusiastic na
turalist. This tree thrives well in the province of
Brazil, and Immense quantities of its deUdous fruit
ore annually exported to foreign countries. It grows
to the height of from 60 to 80 feet, and in appear,
•nos is one of the most majestio ornaments or the
forest The fruit, in its natural position, resembles
a cocoa-nut, being extremely hard, and about the
•!m of a child’s bead. Each one of these shells con
tains from 12 to 20 of these three-cornered note, nice
ly packed together. And to obtain the nnts as they
appear in market, these shells have to be broken
open. Daring the season of their falling tt is dan-
geroos to enter the groves where they abound, as the
force of their descent is sufficient to koock down the
strongest man. The natives, however, provide them
selves with wooden bucklers, which they hold over
their heads while collecting the fruit from the ground.
In this manner they are perfectly secure (torn injury.
The Cannon-bail Tret*—Among the plants or Qui
nes, one or the most curious is tue cannon-ball tree.
It grows to the bight of sixty feet, and its flowers
are remarkable for beauty and fragrance, and contra
dictory qualities. Its blossoms are of a delicious
crimson, appearing in large banebes, sod exhaling a
rich perfume. The fruit resembles enormous cannon-
halls; hence the name. However, some say it has
been so called because of the noise which the balls
make in bursting. From tbs shell domestio utensils
an mads, and the contents contain several kinds of
acids, besides sugar and gum, and furnish the mate
rials for making an excellent drink in sickness. But,
The soergy with which wM »« who hate all
tbsir lives bsaa partisans aow oondemn parties, party
orpnitatleas, party crisa, and party names, Is littis
lass than astonishing. Man who wsro, perhaps, Fed*
enlists hi long Mtbo F«d«ral party acknowledged
the neme mtn who warn certainly Whigs until the
disastrous overthrow of tbs Whig patty l* 1862—who
havo fought Whig battles, mads Whig spssches, and
run as Whig candidates-now, for ths first tins,
awake to thoavU Influence of partiee! They con
trast, with amaslng self-complacency, their own devo-
tiou to coantiy'wKh that of others to party; sad,
after having best all their lives the members of a
party are ready to attribute the avtta of the body
politic to the existence of party. This is strange, is
tt not? But atrangs as it is, it is for lass strange
than that ths same men, while denouncing parties
should resolutely set themselves to work to form a
. new party. Yet ibeh Is the spectacle before us—and
such is ths spectacle exhibited by our friend Mr. Baa-
vow in the speech delivered by him at the Jenkins
ratification meeting last Friday night. He asserted
that there are now no issues dividing parties in
Georgia—that all of them, Internal Improvements,
Bank, and Tariff, have been settled—the latter wise
ly In fovor of Free tradei he, therefore, reprobated
most strongly ths continuation or parties as detri
mental to the pnblle interests; yet, at the same time,
earnestly advocated the triumph of the party which
lately nominated Mr. Jenkins! Thus he showed
himself a party man while eloquent In the dennncla
tlooof parties—utterly unconscious of tbs inconsis
tency, or rather self-destructiveness, of bis argument.
Now, our belief is, that parties are not necessarily
evils, and that yon can only prevent their existence
by destroying liberty. In despotisms—in Russia and
Austria—there are no parties. On the other hand,
in every free country, and in every country approach
ing to freedom, political parties do, and for all time
while freedom lasts, will exist. Besides, to speak
otherwiae will be to offend against the memory of
our fathers—of nearly all the wise and great of onr
land—JErrxasoN, Madison, Randolph, Jackson,
Calhoun;-Adams, Hamilton, Pinkney,Glat, and
WxssTsa—were ail party men. Are we to be wiser
than they 7—to claim more patriotism 7
We say that whoever believes the success of Dem
ocratic principles and measures necessary to the
prosperity of this country is no patriot unless he
lends bis influence to make the Democratic party
triumphant.
As regards Wblgs, there is a similar obligation
resting npon them, unless convinced of the errors of
Whiggery, in which case they should become Dem
ocrats; or, unless they believe that all effarta to make
that party successful must be abortive. If the latter
be their position, let them content themselves to be
quiet. they may be sure that there is, at present, no
coll from the country for their services.
But another wonder! These no party men, now
engaged in organizing a party in opposition to par
ties, have chosen as their leader one who, though a
veteran partisan,said last summer that “bis desire
to adhere to the National Whig party” was then
" stronger ” than it had ever been before I As if he
bad said, " devoted as was ray support of the Whig
party, in 1840, when Harrison was elected—proud
as I was of my membership in it in 1844, notwith
standing the defeat of our glorious chief Henry Clay
—firmly as I believed the salvation of the country de
pended npon its triumph in the election of Taylor,
in 1848—yet at neither of these periods did I feel the
strong desire to adhere to the National Whig party
which now absorbs me I” Oh, Mr. Bartow!—Mr.
Toombs! is this the leader under whose banner you
have chosen to wage war upon parties 7 And, Mr.
Jenkins—with your devotion to the National Whig
party now more ardent than ever before—bow can
you, most honorable sir, consent to bead this crusade
again*! parties? Will the honors of the executive
office recompense yon for the sacrifice you make in
consenting to occupy this position 7 Hardly.
Our anti-party opponents, on reflection, most sec
that they have gone to work wrong. If they really
desire to destroy parties in Georgia, or what is the
same, to unite all our people iu one party, let them
withdraw their candidate and make no opposition to
the Democratic nominee. For if they elect Mr. Jen-
.xins there will still be two parties. If on the other
hand they will vote for Joiinson there will be but
one—aud soon nouo, as regards State politics.

The Great Chestnut Tree.—On the one side of
Hoant Etna there is a famous chestnut tree, which is
said to be one hundred and ninety-six feet in circum
ference, Just above the surface of the ground. Ite
snormona trank ia separated into five divisions,
which gives it the appearance of several trees grow
ing together. In a circular space, formed by these
large branches, a hnt nas been erected for the accom
modation of those who collect the chestnuts.
TV Dwarf Trtes.—Cspts. King and Fitzroy state
that the/ saw a tree, on the mountains near Cape
Horn, which was only one or two inches high, yet bad
branches spreading out four or five feet along the
ground.
TV Ivory-nut 7Vre~—The ivory-nut tree is popu
larly called the Tagnaplant, and is common in South
America. The tree is one of the numerous fsmily of
plants, but belonging to the order designated as screw
pine tribe. The natives use their leaves to dover their
cottages, and from the nuts make buttons and various
other articles. In an early state the nnts contain a
sweet milky liquid, which afterwards asanmes a sol
idity nearly equal to ivory, and will admit of a high
polish. It is known m ivory-nut, or vegetable ivory,
and baa recently been brought into use for various
purposes.
The Sorrowful Tree*— At Goa, near Bombay, there
Ss a singular vegetable—the sorrowful tree—so called
because it only flourishes in the night. At sunset
no flowers are to be seen, and yet, half an hour after,
It is qoito foil of them. They yield a sweet smell,
hot tire son no sooner begins to shine npon them
than soma or them fall off, and others close up ; and
•bos it continues flowering in the night all the year.
TV 8tele Tree.—There is said to be a tree in Bom
bay called the sack tree, because from it may be
stripped very singular natnral sacks, which resemble
" felt” in appearance.

In publishing the statement tho Atlanta Republican
says:
- It U clear from the itatement. which bear* data the 9th
of Juts, one dajr before tie proclamation, but after the at
tack by Northern Broker* and one journal of thia State,
that the whole affair furniahea nogood ground of com
plaint. When the wealth and atanding of Ueo. hmlth.
theprindpal atockholder, aupported by the beat au
thority and evidence ia taken into consideration, we are
farced to the aonclunion that all the noiao which baa been
mad*, la wholly without foundation."
Wo have no disposition to say aught that shall un
justly excite suspicion in tho publio mind relative to
this Bank, and in our previous reference to it, have
endeavored to present its irue history aud position.
In a further desire to do justice to both it and tbe
public, we hereby publish tbe official statement of its
condition, without fee or reward, which others pub
lish as an advertisement, and receive pay. Of one
thing, however, we mast protest, and that is the un
qualified endorsement of this Bank by tbe Atlanta
journals. Let the Bank stand or fall upon its own
merits. The report shows for itself, and from that
the public can form its own judgment. Tbe public
do not care to know who George Smith and Com
pany are, but they do want to know if the stock is so
distributed and owned, aud a Board of Directors so
constituted as not to allow the Bank to bo controlled
by a foreign individual or company of individuals—
Tbe fact tbat 8Mirnis rich or poor should, in fact,
have nothing whatever to do with the standing and
character of tho Bank; but has it a capital paid in
under the control of a competent Board of Directors
so constituted as to leave their action above tbe sus
picion of being secondary to one or two individuals
holding nearly ail the stock? This U the question.
We have no reason to doubt but tbat tbe Directors
and officers of this bank are honorable men, disposed
to conduct their charge upon legitimate and accom
modating principles—but have they, or a majority of
them, snob a control of itsaffkira as to enable them
to do so beyond the power of a minority in the Board,
or persons ontside of it 7 This question settled in
tbe affirmative in the face of what appears to tbe
contrary, according to the private statement of Mr.
Hiooinson, tho President, and we doubt not tbe
bank will at once take rank among the sound and
well oonducted institutions of its kind throughout the
country.
To attempt to intimidlato tbe press by the com
mencement of legal proceedings against it, for
speaking in each terms as it feels called npon to
employ, seems to us to bo not only in bad taste, but
will greatly add to tbe suspicions awakened.
But enough has been said. Tbe public are now
sufficiently acquainted with tbe origin of tbe Bank
and its organisation to form its own Judgment. Tbe
figures showing its condition on the Oth of Jane, are
also before them. In tbe result we are in nowise in
terested only ss the publio are affected for good or

A Ur. B. B. Baton, tf Semmok, On.
8mPermit ma, whilst I fulfil the promts* made to you
lnTallahaatre, to sekBowledge the receipt, from you, of a
copy of tbe Report of tbe Preliminary Surveys of tbe Ba*
vaoaah sod Albany Railroad, ahleb b tb# more accepta
ble line# Uau ppliaa to afreet map of reference, whkb
I much desired.
Buffer me, lo this communication, to point oat to you
soma of tbe advaotagaa tbat must accrue to Savannah by
tba completion of the Railroad rente, as proposed and
adopted by tbe Tallahassee Convention. And first: Tbe
distance from Doctor's Town to BaUville (the N. W. corner
of Hamilton county) la 116 miles, wbUe to Jasper it is 105
miles; a different# of 10 tnllee; tbs country being equally
favorable to both routes until they retch ths Alapaha riv
er. By tbe DellrlUe route ths Alapeha will bar# to be
crossed where It ia anbject to overflow Its banka, every high
freshet. It U sometimes from a quarter to a mile wide in
consequence. The road most also croa# either Mad Swamp,
or its outlet, the Apalaboocbee, which stream empties into
lbs Alapaha Joat abov# tba Florida line. Tbe name M Mud
Suamp " snfllciintlr explains tho nature of the place. It
ia from a half mile to a mile in width. After crossing tba
swamp no other serious obstacle would intervene to Bell-
Tllle. 1 believe. By tbe Jasper route, the road would enter
Florida east of the Alapaha, and might cross that stream
at or neaf Jennlng’s Bluff, where, within tbe apace of some,
thing lees than a mile, two or three croealng* may be bad,
at either of which tbe water never overflows its banks, and
where tba plney woods extend to the bank of tba river on
either aide.
The country through which both of the roads would pass
being similar, tt Is only necessary to alluda to tbs supposed
difficulty presented by tbe Okefenokee Swamp; and I must
eonfosa that it baa been somewhat difficult to get any vary
definite Information upon the aubject, for when it la men
tioned to those who have lived there, and are well acquaint-
ed with tbe location. Ac., and they are asked wbat diffi
culties ths Swamp would offer to a Railroad ! they treat
the question with deriaion, and say, what! a faw cypress
ponds! none! One man told me that be bad been all
through It on the line of the road, and that be did not find
the water more than knee deep, though it was daring a wet
spell. They all agree, however, tbat tbe lands along the
line of the road, from Doctor'a Town to Jasper, are among
the best Sea Island Cotton lands In tbe world; and that
nothing ia wanting to cause them to be settled and culti
vated, but a mareet road.
Allow me to state hero that BtUeUle U located on the west
hnlf of the S. E. quarter of section 0, township 2, range 11,
N. and E. Jarper is located on the S. W quarter of the S.
E. quarter of aection fl. township 1, range 14. N. and E—
Tbe distance between tbe two places being 22 miles by the
common road. Jasper being nearly 0 miles south of the
State line, on an air line; Bellville nearly on It.
Having thus briefly noticed the location of the rival
routes, permit me. in the second place, to allude with equal
brevity to the degrees of trade and travel to be command-
ed by each of them.
It is evident that the Jasper route would control all the
trade and travel of the. Bellville route, since tbe road, af
ter entering Florida east of the Alapaha, would take a west
erly direction, and would pass within a few miles of Bell
ville. I shall therefore only point out some of tho trade
that the Jasper route would command, which tbs other
would not. To do this, it Is is only neeewary to mention
how the trade of the county ia now divided. Tbe trade of
Bellville, and of that part of Hamilton west of the Alspa-
ha, now finds its way for the most part down the Suwannee
to Cedar Keva, and thence to New York, Charleston, Ac.:
whiht that east of the Alapaha finds its way by wagons
to Jacksonville, Traders' Hill and Csotrevillago. Now,
railroad passing from Doctor’a Town to tho Florida line,
even in Madison County, would command a part of tbe
Bellville trade. Tbe Brunswick road will do it if finished,
but neither of tboee roads, nor a road to Bellville, would
control all of the trade east of tbe Alapaha, aa will be un
derstood by reference to the following table of distances.
The distance from the Suwannee river, on the eastern bor-
der of Hamilton county, Range 16 and 17, to Jacksonville,
Is about 75 miles ; to Bellville 40 miles, to Jasper 18 to 20
miles. If. in addition to these tacts, ws add another—that
the Alapaha is often impassable without great difficulty,
for loaded wagons, especially in winter, we shall at once ss*
tbat a road that will command the trad* of Hamilton Coun
ty must have its terminus in the vicinity of Jasper, and
tbat such a road would be sufficiently near to every part of
the county; as well as to a large portion (I believe the
wealthiest part) of Columbia County, besides being in a
most advantageous position for extension into South Flori
da. as will be seen by tbe following distance#: From Jasper
to Alligator {Lancaster on the map you ssntme) In Colum
bia County, is about 30 miles by the common road, and
thence to Newnansvillo. In Alachua. Is about 30 miles more,
which takes u* at once into tbe neighborhood or the rich
lands of Alachua and Marion counties, from which point
It might bo continued to Tampa Bay or Tortuga*.
Whether such an extension will aver be made, or by
whom. I certainly bare no means of knowing, but tbat it
is well worthy the serious consideration of Savannah, when
fixing the terminus of her road on the Florida line, is not,
with me. at least a matter of doubt.
I have already extended this letter much beyond what
I at first Intended, and will therefore close.
You will observe that I have taken Jasper as the termi
nus of the Savannah roaJ, but it is not done because we
itulsl on that ss the spot, but because it is the only point
of note to which I could refer. Other places on tbe State
line east of ths Alapaha, may, and probably will, be found
more desirable than Jasper. Neither do 1 allude to a point
further west than this county, for reasons which you heard
stated in the Convention.
Yours, very respectfully,
Wu. E. M. Corsets.

A Trick of the Untmy,
The Chronicle $ Sentinel, Savannah Republican,
and some other IV big papers In tbe State, are adopt
ing a rather contemptiblo trick to convict tho Demo
cratic party ol a want of harmony In support of
Judge Johnson. They first tell their readers there ia
rank rebellion In tbe Democratic camp, against tho
Democratic nomiuee, aud then, with the most perfect
coolness and assurance, by w»y of substantiating
their groundless assertions, bring forward copious
extracts from the editorial columns of the Rome
Courier anil Constitutional Union,ol Marietta, which
papers, of coarse, support Mr. Jenkins. Extracts
from these papers are paraded before the people as
" Democratic authority,” the Whig editors re-pub
lishing them, ingeniously representing the papers
from which they are takcu to be genuine Democratic
newspapers. Nothing is farther from tbe truth.
The Constitutional Union was bnt a short time
since the Marietta Helicon, a staunch Whig paper,
supported by Whig patronage. During ths compro-
mfw agitation it changed ita name, without, aa we
have ever learned, materially changing ita principles.
... .. -kptembjr.
After the AUcuta Convention of tbe 18th Septembi
it approximated so near to Democracy as to support
ticket g"t up in opposition to tbe decision or that
the tic
convention aud in opposition to tho Pierce and King
ticket which carried the Stale in the Presidential
Election. It may be answered tbat the present editor
has at some time claimed to be a Democrat, but com-
it would bo exceedingly difficult to point oat any
.
r Janydir-
ferencc whatever between tbe teachings and political
alliances or tbe paper aa it was, under tbe name of
Helicon and as it is and has been under the name of
Constitutional Union.
As to the other M Democratic authority,” cited and
relied npon by tbe croakers, it is just about as com
petent a witness as the Marietta paper. Tbe Rome
the i
. byn
whig than Mr. Jesse Reneau.tne present editor of
tbe Atlanta Republican, and up to two or three weeks
ago was under the editorial control of Mr. Knowles,
a whig, at present one of the editors of the MUledge-
ville Recorder. The paper,although union whig, and
bjlting from tbe support or Gen. Bcott, was too mneb
whig, nevertheless, to go along with A. J. Miller and
other whig worthies, into tbe support of tbe Wofford
ticket, and therefore stood aloof entirely dnrlng tbe
Presidential canvass, except so far as it could give
aid and comfort to the whiga, without declaring
openly for either or tbe candidates.
Both tbe Rome Courier and Marietta Union have
standing at the bead of their editorial columns the
name of Charles J. Jenkins, the whig candidate, for
Governor, and are about as reliable “ democratic au
thority” as the Chronicle and Sentinel or Savannah
Thr IT. 8. Rrview^-Wo have repeatedly spoken of

actions up to the time ofM?!!? tert
Tbe occurrence has given rise to a vnlnmlnoos cor
respondence between Mr. Ingersotl, tbe British Sec
retary of 8tate, Mr. Croskey, and tbe local authorities
at Southampton. Our Consul tabes tbe ground tbst
the magistrates at Southampton bad no jurisdiction
over an offence committed on board an American
abip; and further—founding himself ou tbe known
principle, that a ship’s deck is to all Intents and pur
poses the soil of tbe country whose flag she carries—
denies the right of tbe British police to bosrd the
Hermann and arrest one of her officers. On these
two Issues Ur. Croskey has the mUfortnne to differ
entirely both from tbe United States and the British
authorities of State. Mr. Everett was clearly of opin
ion tbat tbe facta charged against tbe mite by tbe
waiter, "if correctly stated, not Justified but required
the interference oftbe authorities ” at Southampton:
and that, " ir, when tho police boarded tbe ship, she
was within the local Jurisdiction of England, all at
tempt to resist them was unlawful, and would form a
just matter of complaint on tbe part of tbe British
government.” Lord Palmerston, in like manner,
considered " tbat Mr. Croskey was wrong in disput
ing the Jurif diction of the magistrates, as it was clear
and universally admitted, that a merchant vessel of
one country within tbe waters of another was as fully
liable to the laws of that country as if tue ship was
high and dry on her shores.”
The matter of tbe arrest ended, as snch affairs gen
erally do, In smoke. The mate surrendered himself on
bis return to stand bis trial—but no prosecutor was
forthcoming, and tbe case was dismissed, the magis
trates contenting themselves with presuming that
" there was some misapprehension on tbe part of Mr.
Croskey.” But tbe practical result of the case Is the
establishment of a principle whicb ship-owners and
ship-matters would uo well to bear in mind.
It is now settled, to far as the concurrent opinions
of two foreign governments can settle a pnrt of in
ternational law, that where an officer of an American
Vi ssel is charged with committing an offence on bosrd
tbat vessel while she lies in a foreign port, the ship

Great Conflagration at Oswego—Two Hun
dred Buildings Consumed—Iioss Kstimated
at One ami a Hnlf Millions.
Osweoo, July 6.
One of the most destructive fires that ever took
place in our city, broke out about half-past 10 o’clock
this morning. The flames spread with the most un
paralleled rapidity, and continued to rago for many
hours, defying all the efforts of the firemen to check
them. Tbe heat was so intense that some of the en
gines caught fire, and were thrown into the river to
save them.
B-.-tween the toll-bridge and the piers every mill,
warehouse and store is goue, including tho mills and
warehouses of Messrs. Fitzbugh Sc Littlejohn, Ame*.
Doolittle, Abby. Pen field, and others. These mills
were mostly constructed of wood, which account* for
tbe rapid extension of tho flames.
Every mill north of Bridge-street (viz : Fitzhugh’s.
Doolittle’s, Wyman’s Ac.,) was burnt, also Ames and
Hall’s elevators. Nearly two hundred dwelling# and
stores are also in ruinB.
The section of the town consumed is bounded on
the weal by the river, on the south by Bridge street,
on the east by Sixth street, and ou the north by the
Fort grounds. The only property saved within th< se
limits is Randall's elevator, tho second Methodist
church, and half a dozen dwt Rings.
The loss is not less tlmu one million and a half, in
cluding goods In store. There were over 300,000
bushels of grain consumed. All tbe insurance offices
will suffer ncavily. Among tbe loseis are the follow-
?’itzhngh A Co., $20,000 on mill; Insured for $12,-
000. There was a large stock, some 15 or $20,000
bushels of grain inside.
S. Doolittle, mill and stock, $45,000—partlnlly in
sured.
Ames Sc Brothers’ elevator; $20,000 loss on build
ing, insured for $12,000} about $50,000 lima on grain
in store, owned abroad, and $15,000 in provisions.
Howlett Sc Gardiner, $32,000, insured for $13,000.
H. M. Ames' plaster mill and two stores on Firet
street; loss $10,000, insured for $7,000.
Penfleld A Co’s mill aud stock of grain and flour;
loss $40,000, insured for $30,000.
J. Wyman’s flour mill; loss $40,000.
Hall A Co.'s elevators; lo** on building $29.000;
Insured in New York. L««s on grain in store $6,000.
Fitzhugh A Co. bad a large amount of merchandise
in store, the loss of which Is not less than $200,000,
which falls on parties abroad.
Talcott’s machine shop, foundry, pattern bouse and
office; loss $30,000. Seventy men have been thrown
out of employment in this establishment.
Mr. Talcott’s house and furniture were also destroy
ed. Covered by insurance.
Some fifteen blocks are entirely burnt, extending
over about 45 acres.
Also, tbe large new planing mill owned by Gerritt
Smith A Co., with all the machinery and lumber.
A share of the lo*9 will fall on persons abroad.
The beat across tbe river, a distance of seven hun
dred feet, was so great tbat it was feared tbe opposite
side would catcb, bat the wind blowing strong in tbe
opposite direction prevented It.

Another PI re at Oswego.
Osweoo, July 6.
Another fire occurred this morning, at 1 o’clock, in
the hardware establishment of lunyon, Collins A
Co., at West Oswego. The upper stories, occupied
by three lodges of Odd Fellows, and by Law ofllces,
were entirely gntied. Kinyon A Co. saved their goods
in a damaged state. Total loss $4,000. Tbe fire waa
thought to be the work or iocendiarlea, and much
alum prevails, Tbe Oswego and United States Ho
tels were both on fire last evening, and the City Hotel
was set on fire daring tbe night, bnt no damage re
sulted in either ease.

Tb? Reading R. ess of \ esterday c attained tbe fol
lowing account of a t o.ieration by which the Rail
road Company have been defrauded of over a quarter
of a million or dollurs: ,
Some singular and rather startling developments
in relation to tbe shipments of coal on the Heading
Railroad, have been made through an accidental es
timate of the amount of coal contained in a number
of cars for the'me of the road. The company, by a
trick of tbe weigh-moster at Schuylkill Haven, was
carrying more coal than appeared on tbe check hills,
by which tbe loss the company has sustained, is es
timated at some $300,000, which was gained by the
operators, so that we have not bad, for the last three
yea re, an accurate return of tbe tonnage on this road.
Tbe investigations have been on foot since last March
resulting thus far in tbe discharge of the persons im
plicated. We are Informed by a reliable source, that
a discrepancy in the accounts of one operator alone
exceeds $40,000.—Phil. Pennsylvanian.

Most of onr readers are acqpaintod with the gen
eral principle of maritime law, that vessels at sea ore
held to be part and parcel of the country to which
they belong, aud that they are subject to her Juris
diction alone, aj Napoleon eplgrnimnatically phrased
it, tbat partout ou cst It drapeau la est la ualrte. Our
resistance of Eugland’s pretended right of search, and
onr subsequent vindication of our merchant navy,
were based on this principle. But it only applies to
vessels at sea, beyond any territorial jurisdiction.—
When a ship once enters foreion waters, the munici
pal code overrides the international law, aud she be
comes, as Lord Palmerston says, as clearly subject to
tbe jurisdiction or the country iu whose wat-.m she is
as if she were high and dry on shore. Hence it was
that, when the men of the Sardinian frigate San Gio
vanni infringed our laws, our uollco were entitled to
pursue the offender on board tue foreign vessel, and
insist on his surrender. By the case of the Hermann
the point is placed in a still clearer light. The of
fence of the Sardinians was committed on shore ; that
of the mate of tho Hermann on board of his ship,
while lying in the port of Southampton. But so far
os the question of jurisdiction U concerned the ca*-cs
are parallel, and, as will be seen by Mr. lngeraoll’s
letter, there is do disposition on the part of our gov
ernment to quarrel with this interpretation.
Still it must be obvious to all that such an under
standing may lead to grave incoufenienccs. Ocean
mail steamers are bound to sail on the day fixed un
der heavy penalties. As the law stands, any rascal
may make an affidavit and obtain a warrant against
the captain or mate ol one of our steamers just as she
is on the (mint of leaving Liverpool or Southampton,
and ro place the vessel under the alternative of sail
ing without an indispensable officer, or delaying her
departure ot a ruinouR expense. The same tiling may
occur here with respect to one of the Cunard vessels.
Zeal on the part or a consul like Mr. Croskey mav
lead to unpleasant altercdtionR,and distuib the friend
ly feeling existing between the two countries.. It is
obviously necessary that foreign vessels should not
be suffered to play the part of harbo 8 of refuge for
malefactors; bat wisdom dictates the policy of nar
rowing the list of cases in which (hey can be boarded
by police to as few as possible. A two-penny assault
case is assuredly not one requiring an exercise of
such delicate powers. Would it not be possible to es
tablish a regulation at the great ocean ports under
which the officer entrusted with the warrant should
be authorized to receive bail for tbe due appearauce
of the officer accused ou tbe return of the vessel?
