Appropriation Cannot ISo Aullcl li.itctl. Judgo Lawrenco has rendered a decision in tho matter of tho uso of an appropriation- to pay oxpeuses incurred before tho pascago of tho act making it, tho case bo ing that of Howaid University. Tho Judgo holds that, as repairs wero nndo on build ings of tho Howard University in July and prior to August 7, 1832, tho dato of tho appropriation, thoro was no law authorizing theso repairs, nor was' there any appropilttion adequato to tho fulfilment of tho contracts for such repairs when made. Without any statute on tbo subject tho Unite 1 States would not bo liablo lor oxpenscs ineurrol, nnd in addition to this section 3732 of tho Revised Statutes expressly declares that no such contract should bo mado under tho circumstances stated, Tho vouchers for payment of expenses incurred prior to August 7, 1832, will therefore bo di3 tllowod.

Biriin, April 21 Tho Aorta Gumma Gazette to day, In an aitlclo which tho cor respondent of thu United Press says thoro Is reason to beliovo was directly inspired by Pilnco Bismarck, makes a verysavago attack ujon tho policy of tho Unltod Statea Gov eminent In protecting tho Interests of tho American hog rilscr3. Tho OimIWj article goes beyond tho ordinary limits of journalism, and accuses tho United Htatos of attempting to Imltato tho conduct of England In forcing opium Into China. 'Iho writer asserts that tho recent pro hibition of tho importation of Ajncrlcau pork into Germany was nn economic sani tary imastuo which tho German govern ment vv as com t clled to tako for tho purpose of protecting her subjects from pbyslc.ll dlsenso nnd degeneration much worsa than tho inforccd Introduction ot opium cutallod uton tbo Chinese. Iho (mtzette also makes nn attack unou tho United States Minister- at Berlin, Mr. A. A. Sargent, and accuses him of having done all in his power to iudtico his Govern ment lo rctallato upon Germany by pro hibiting tbo importation into tho United States of all German products possible to procure elsewhere, until by reason of tho consequent loss of trado and rovcnuo tho German Government should bo compelled to succumb and withdraw all opposition to tho freo introduction into Germany of all American hogs and hog products. Iho paper insinuates that .Minister Sir pent has been doing this secretly and pro feses to hav 0 been entirely Ignorant of tho presence in Berlin of such a powerful oncniy of German interests until tho discovery was mado upon tho arrival of certain American journals containing tho Minister's advices to his Government. Tho Gazette coming to specifications statos that tho German Commercial-Journal, Hand' le Zctlunn, published in Now York city, in its issuo of March 10, 1833ipublishcd an ar ticlo signed by Minister Sargent, In which ho boldly advocates such a system of retali ation by tbo United Statc3 unoriiOormany until tho latter abllshcd tho proliivWon laW3 ngalnst American pork a3 wouldtually nnuount to reprisals, and which w Id, If v in, ir 30l -aoV ' "A eueecasiui, iuicu tiucricitu iricuiu o 'J'l ucrman consumers ol pork by procisei; Bamo kind ot argument 03 that caused tho opium war. Tho correspondent of tho United Prns.3 was assured, at tho olhco of tho American Minister, thnt Mr. Sargent had never written any such article as that attributed to him, and that tho only production upou tho subcct to which his namo would havo been appended, must havo bcou his la?t report to tho American Stato Departmont, which was mailed from Berlin on January 1 last. Ibis item, ns claimed, contained nothing concerning retaliation, but was solely a re port mado up mainly of oxtracts of edi torials in tho German press going to show that there wa3 no basis for any restrictions upon tho importation into Germany of American poik on tho ground of its infec tion with trichina?, and that tho best In formed German editors bellovcd that tho entire mov etnent against American pork was purely selfish and contributed by thoso dealers in German pork whowcrocompollod to cell native product much lower n ith than without American competition. 9- THE CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY. loril Griuivlllc'M Itiply to Secretary rrcllnghiiyHcn.

Tho reply of England s Foreign Secretary is a carclully-drawu aud ablo document, and bears dato December 20, 1882 Tho strongest part of tho note Is probably tho reply to tho accusations against Great Britain In tho Honduras matter, and hero ho quotes bodily tho noto of John M Claylon, tlio then Secretary of State, dated July 1, lb30, and tho Bulwer noto of tho samo dato as ontiroly justifying tho policy of Her Majesty's Government. In a general way ho claims that there has been no treaty violation or ovasionbytho British Government, and that tho treaty has never been invalidated and that there is no necessity for renew ing any of Its provis ions There might, however, bo advantages in defining by agreement tho distance from each end of tho proposed Panama Canal within which no hostilities should bo per mitted by belligerents, In order to main tain tho entire freedom of tho canal, al though any arrangement would bo at pres ent premature, when tho condition of tho canal enterprio is considered.
