seventh heaven of his happiness: madame
excused herself for a moment and left
Valpws.
Half an hour elapsed, an hour: then the
doctor became fidgety. He approached
the door; it was locked. For another
hour did the doctor remain quietly in the
room ; then a suspicion flashed like light
ning across his brain. He thundered at
the door; the servants came running up,
the door was forced open, madame’s sleep
ing room visited; but lo! the bird had
flown'
Two years after, Valpass received the
following note ;
. “I thank you for all your kindness to me.
And more so, because you were the vic
tim : Kisses are dear; yet the only one
ever I sold brought a fair price. It took
us nearly two years to mature our plans.
Ilow well we had calculated on all things,
is manifest by onr ultimate success. My j
husband. Count Steft'ann Perragi, desires'
to he reiuembe:ed to all his dear friends
at Constantinople, and he hopes that this
second surprise may lie of some value to
them. Your diamonds brought me fif
teen million francs. Adieu.”
There was no signature or date.
And this was the last of the “Diamond
Robbery.” The thieves were never cap

SATURDAY MORNING, May 0. 1870
TOE CANADIAN POLICY.
The Candian policy of retaliation upon
this country because our government will
not allow it a monopoly ol our markets, is
not very well supported in the New Do
minion Parliament, arid may trouble the
Ministers to enforce it. There was a fierce
debate over it at Ottawa on the 27th, and
the vote at the clrse was not encouraging
to the friends of the measure. The tariff
being under discussion, a resolution was
moved adding flour and meal to the free
list, which was opposed by the Govern
ment and led to the discussion of reciproci
ty and retaliation. Sir Francis Hindis
said reciprocity would be advantageous to
both countries, and the Candian govern
ment had endeavored to obtain it, but
without success. Mr. MacKenzie, the
leader of the opposition, said the Govern
ment policy was only dictated by niomen
atry exigencies and was an insane one.
The tax which was to bring the United
States to its knees was only $17.7,000. He
said the Ministry were trying to break up
the Union of the Provinces, and were de- J
ceiving the people in regard to American
negotiations. Other members of the oppo
sition spoke in the same strain. The de
bate was continued as folloVs :
Sir George* E. Cartier replied that the
tariff would moderately protect the coal of
Nova Scotia, the coarse grains of Quebec,
and the wheat and salt of Ontario. As
for New Brunswick, although none of its
productions were protected, it would bene
fit from trade encouraged by the tariff!
The only way to get reciprocity was to
keep the Americans out of the fisheries
and protect coal.
Mr. Holton bitterly attacked the Govern
ment, sunk to the depths of degradation
and infamy. He thanked God that he had
common sense enough to keep him from
favoring such shame and humiliation as
the Ministry assumed before the country.
The retaliatory policy entered upon by
Canada was a complete surrender of the j
whole position of the States ; it was found
ed upon unsound economic doctrines, and
would utterly fail of producing good in
any direction whatever.
Sir A. T. Galt attacked Government and
promised to review them later. They had
no fixed policy as to the “retaliatory” pol
icy ; it was either intended to produce rev
euue, or to encourage trade between the
various Provinces. If it produced the one
it could not produce the other. It was
dangerous in every respect, and the money
consideration was too insignificant to la*
considered. Sir John A. MacDonald re
plied hotly that Mr. Galt had himself first
proposed protective duties on Hour and
wheat. 1 le appealed to the rural members
to support the “national” policy. [Cries
of “No, no.”] They had humiliated them
selves to obtain reciprocity and bad failed.
There were still fitful advances front the
States; they met these readily, but the
transactions were all confidential. They
would no longer be the playthings of the
politicians of the United Stales, hut would
have a policy of their own. The fisheries
had been left at the mercy of Americans
year after year; the interests of the coun
try had been sacrificed. He had counsel
led conciliation, biit now the voice of the
people called for retaliation. The opposi
tion might sneer, but if alien or a chicken,
or a pound of cheese or butter could not
he allowed to enter the United States with
out a heavy duty, Canada could also do
the same thing. If there is to be a warol
tariffs, let it come !
Sir A. T. Galt replied that it was absurd
to think the American people could be co
erced by a trumperv duty of four ecu's a
bushel on wheat. It was a dangerous pol
icy to inaugurate—that as retaliation with
regard to the fisheries. Now that these
negotiations for reciprocity were over, the
House should know something of them.
When he and Gov. Howland were in
Washington, they had never exceeded
their instructions, hud never acted so as to
humiliate the country, nor had they ever
been in communication with the British
Government. He suggested that, as the
Ministers hud changed their minds thrice
already, they had better take half an hour
to see if there were any other changes.
The House divided on the amendment,
which was lost by H-> to 7.1—25 absentees
—a majority for the Government of nine.
The tariff at first introduced was carried
by tW to (54—a majority for the Govern
ment of 24.
The monthly report of the liureau of
Statistics contains, besides other valuable
ami interesting matter, a statement show
ing the number of vessels and amount of
tonnage belonging to each of the several
States on the 30th of June, 1869. The to
tal number of teasels was 26,393, with a
tonnage of 3,744,819, of which 7,175 ves
sels, representing a tonnage of 1,819,956,
belonged to York ; to Massachusetts,
2,870, with 471,642 tons ; to Maine
2,944 vessels, with 443,777 unis; to Penn
sylvania 2,052 vessels, with 265,685 tons;
to Ohio 1,128 vessels, with 140,036 tons;
to Illinois 827 vessels, with 124,691 tons,
and to .Michigan 739 vessels, with 108,989
tons. The number of vessels temporarily
registered was 1,008, with a tonnage of
401,04/?, making a grand total of 27,425
t easels and 4,113,305 tons.
The New York Tribune notices the de
clination of Mr. Blaine to he a candidate
for United States Senator.
Mr. Speaker Blaine has friends in Maine,
who would be glad to «ee him* Senator of the
United States ; nor do they appear to compre
hend that Mr. Blaine already occupies a posi
tion quite equal to that of a Senator in respon
sibility and honor. Mr. Blaine seeing noth
ing but danger and damage to the Republican
party in a personal squabble for the Senator
ship. has written a letter, in which lie definite
ly and decidedly declines to'be a candidate;
for he thinks that even his own election
“might possibly mar the harmony of the Re
publican party in Maine.” Mr. Blaine, should
lie live long enough, will unquestionably go to
the Senate in good time; hut at present the
House of Representatives need the best possi
ble of Speakers to keep it in anything like
order; and Mr. Blaine has shown himself on
several occasions well fitted to hold the reins.
In the ease of the Union Pacific Railroad
against the treasurers of several counties
in Kans;is, to restrain them from collect
ing taxes under State lnws, Chief Justice
Chase delivered the opinion of the Su
preme Court on Saturday. The Court
holds that corporations deriving their ex
j istence from State charters are amenable
' to all taxes imposed by 1 av of such States;
thiit the several Pacific railroad compan
' ies are local, not government institutions,
: and the fact that government granted such
I roads certain subsidies, under certain stip
ulations, in no manner exempts them from
their State obligations.
■ Senator Fish denies in the most oinphat
| ic manner that Mr. Thornton, tlie Hritish
Minister, has asked permission to pass
British troops over our soil or through our
I waters to put down the Winnipeg rebel
lion. He says that no such application
: has been made by Mr. Thornton or any
other man.
We are pleased to find that the Portland
dailies have discovered that personalities,
fault-finding, and e\ il speaking against
public men of their own party, arc neither
proper, wise nor profitable. We hope this
is no joke.
The last monthly statement of the pub
lic debt shows a heavy decline in the na
tional indebtedness, and causes a heavy
decline in democratic stock. Both are on
the road to final extinguishment.
The Portland Advertiser is respectfully
informed, when it declares that it cannot
find Mr. Blaine's record in the Globe, as
reported in this paper, that there are none
so blind as those who will not see.

MURDER IX THE MAIX-TOP.
The circumstances connected with the mur
der of a man in the main-top of the British
vessel Morning Light, on the 22d of April art
as follows: “On that day Edward Bcrvins
and Thomas 1L Johnson were on the top-mast,
abont 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Both men
were engaged in scraping the top-mast, Ber
vins being a little above the other. He had
his shoes off, and called out to Johnson below
to exchange places with him, as that which
the latter lmd was easier for a person in his
bare feat. Johnson either did dot heed him
or refused to change places. Whereupon
Berlins called Johnson 'a farmer.’ Johnson
felt nettled at this epithet, and made answer,
‘If you don't shut up I'll cut you.’ Bcrvins
continued to twit and to tease, and Johnson
put his threat into execution by making a
lounge at him with his knife. The weapon
struck in the abdomen, and made a fearful
wound. Bcrvins dropped his knife, which fell
on deck, and Johnson’s knife fell immediate
ly after it. Johnson caught Bcrvins in his
arms. The rest of the crew were below, and
their attention was first attracted by the fall
ing of the knives. Then they heard two or
three heavy groans' from above. One of their
number went up and found the man stabbed.
By means of ropes he was lowered down and
the wound examined. He died at 4 o’clock
I\ M. next day, 24 hours after the wounding;
to Henry Baker and James Maddox, fellow
sailors, he made an ante-mortem statement,
commencing, according to their narrative, by
saying that he (deceased; was as much to
blame as the prisoner.”
