OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBORS.
Cuebent telegraphic int elligenoe affords new
illustrations of the troubles to which the un
happy people of the New Dominion are sub
jected by their political connection with
Great Britain. The fearful Fenians have
oioe more started on the war-path, and the
whole border is in a state of trepidation on
aeoount of the prevailing uncertainty in re
gard to the objective point of their expedi
tion. We are informed by one veraoious
chronicler that, contrary to usual custom, the
leaders are very retioent, and stubbornly
refuse to declare whether they intend to
march to the resoue of the rebel Riehl, in
the Bed River district, or to boldly
cross the St. Lawrence, and
plunge into the heart of the
enemy's country. If they really mean
business, their chances of accomplishing
tangible results will be improved by a coali
tion and co-operation with Riehl, for they
will find it much easier to temporarily sustain
a rebellion already started than to either
create a new one or to make a serious demon
stration against British power at any point
where regular and volunteer troops can be
rallied to confront them. Any hostile move
ment they may make will necessarily be a fla
grant and inexcusable violation of our neutrality
laws, but John Bull and his Canadian calves
displayed such lamentable disregard of the
obligations of international treaties and good
neighborship during the late Rebellion, that
the troubles now heaped upon them by the
Fenians seem but a righteous retribution.
For the present it is scarcely possible that
anything more serious than this temporary
punishment can flow from any movement
that it is possible for the Fenians to make,
for the idea of a serious contest between a
handful of the wearers of the green with the
British authorities in their front and the
American Government in their rear is totally
inadmissible. In time, however, the Cana
dians, who are stubborn and slow to learn,
will find the miseries resulting from the con
tinuance of British domination so manifold
that they will be forced by their instincts of
self-preBervation to earnestly seek relief in
independence and annexation. Shut out
now in a large measure from the best market
by the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty,
awakened to the danger that the Sault Ste.
Marie Canal may be closed against them in
their hour of direst need, and terribly ham
pered by poverty and taxation, the continual
alarms to which they are subjected by the
persistence of the Fenians are rendering
their colonial dependence intolerably fruitful
of miseries.
REVISING BISTORT.
A mono the many legacies of the late war, we
have numerous important historical questions
touching both men and events, which must
now be revised, as they are about to pass into
the acoepted records of our great struggle for
free institutions. For five years the North
and the South made up their own records of
publio men and momentous events from their
own respective standpoints. It was but natu
ral that, under the influence of the fierce pas
sions ever engendered by civil war, both sec
tions should magnify their own leaders and
actions, and correspondingly depreoiate the
leaders and actions of the other side; and
in the intense devotion of both North and
South to their respective causes, it was im
possible ever to correct serious errors while
the desperate struggle over reconstruction was
unsettled. Lately, however, the passions of
sectional strife have been gradually subsiding,
and the people of both sections are beginning
to make dispassionate inquiry into historical
issues.
Quite recently we have had a series of his
torical conflicts. Senator Wilson, in an
elaborate eulogy upon Mr. Stanton, in
cidentally 'introduced the order of
Mr. Cameron's retirement from the
Lincoln Cabinet. lie accredited the
ex-War Minister with great administrative
ability, with having dictated his successor,
and then gracefully resigning. This brought
Mr. McClure before the publio with a circum
stantial statement of Mr. Cameron's dismissal
from the Cabinet, without consultation as to
bis successor, and even without previous
notice. He went so far as to explain, from
his own personal knowledge, that the letter
removing Mr. Cameron was subsequently de
stroyed, and a pretended letter of resignation
allowed to be filed some days after the dis
missal Mr. McClure boldly assumed all re
sponsibility for the correctness of his state
ments, and challenged contradiotien. Feeble
attempts wore made in some quarters to
. break the force of the grave accusations
maiSe by Mr. MoClure, but they stand sub
stantially sustained, and the future historian
of the war must make the blistering reoord
that the first War Minister of the Rebellion
was displaced for maladministration in the
darkest days of the Republic
Again, Mr. Cameron essayed to frame a
brilliant chapter of the history of the war.
When Senator Revels was before the Senate
asking admission as a Senator from Missis,
sippi, Mr. Cameron revealed a long-hidden
prophecy be had made touching the advent of
the black man into the first legislative tribu
nal of the nation. lie suddenly remembered
that when Jefferson Davis seoeded from that
body, be bad solemnly notified the Rebel
chieftain that the bondman would return after
many days to fill kis place. It was somewhat
worthy of notice that the prophecy was not
made public until its fulfilment was just
at hand, but as it was reoited by
a grave and venerable Senator in open
Senate, no one present could deny
the singular prophetio honors claimed by the
prophet for himself. But war has ceased.
Newspapers and telegrams now go from the
Lakes to the Gulf, and subdued Rebels, long
bound in silence by the conqueror, now
venture occasionally to interpose corrections
of what they allege to be perverted history.
Jefferson Davis read the Globe and answered
that Mr. Cameron was doubtless incorrectly
reported, as no such remarks were made to
him when he withdrew from the Senate.
Mr. Cameron did not venture to explain, but
Colonel Forney answered, denounced Davis
as a Rebel, and therefore not to be believed,
and transferred the scene from the Senate to
Mrs. Davis' breakfast table. It was safe to
assume that Mrs. Davis would not rush into a
publio contradiction; and so that disputed
historical event, involving Mr. Cameron's
claims to the honors of propheoy, remains
unsettled. 1
One of the most remarkable instances of
historical antagonism is exhibited by Judge
Black's article on Mr. Stanton, copied in our
columns on Saturday from the Galaxy for
June. If Mr. Wilson is to be believed, Mr.
Stanton was one of the earliest as he was one
of the ablest and boldest champions of eman
cipation, colored troops, universal suffrage,
and of all the radical measures of reconstruc
tion. If Judge Black is to be believed, Mr.
Stanton fully and cordially harmonized with
him in the Buchanan Cabinet, and held that
all the violent measures growing out of the
war were unconstitutional and revolutionary.
Judge Black professes to speak from frequent
and most intimate intercourse with Mr. Stan
ton both before and after the war, and he
details with great minuteness various circum
stances in support of bis positions. On the
other band, Mr. Wilson was chairman of the
Military Committee of the Senate, was
doubtless in the closest intercourse with
Stanton while he was Minister of
War, and must have had at least
equal facilities with Judge Black
to know Mr. Stanton's convictions and
purposes. It is not to be presumed that
either has deliberately falsified; but the two
distinguished men have been Mr. Stanton's
intimate associates under widely different
circumstances, and each judges him from a
widely different standpoint. Judge Black
knew the Mr. Stanton of the Democratic
faith, before treason and Rebellion had defied
the Constitution and the laws, and Mr. Wil
son knew the Mr. Stanton whose new duties
were taught by the new occasion that called
the nation to exercise its extreme powers to
preserve its own life. Without discrediting
either personally, such will be the general
judgment of the nation. It is well, however,
that both have written, for both will mate
rially aid history in attaining a high measure
of perfection in estimating Mr. Stanton.
Another instance of disputed history was
developed in our columns on Saturday by the
somewhat impassioned letter of General Ma
gruder, vindicating himself against the accu
sations made against him by Mr. Cameron in
the Senate recently. Mr. Cameron, in a de
bate on the condition of things about Wash
ington when the war commenced, made cer
tain statements imputing positive treachery
and dishonor to Magruder, who was in com
mand of a battery in Washington when Mr.
Lincoln was inaugurated. He did not name
Magruder, but pointed to him with such dis
tinctness that the remarks oould be applied to
no one else. He also claimed especial credit
for preventing Captain Magruder from be
traying the President, and also from deserting
with bis battery to the South. If Mr.
Cameron's statements are true, he deserves
great credit for his vigilance, and
Magruder deserves to be reprobated as a dis
honored and treacherous man. But Magruder
comes out over bis own signature and pro
n ounces Cameron's statement "a monstrous,
malicious, reckless, and infamous lie," and
he follows it np with a detailed aeoount of
his fidelity while holding a commission, and
also giving the particulars of bis resignation.
He goes farther. He alleges that Mr. Came
ron manifested particular kindness for him,
and at a breakfast party voluntarily offered
to send Magruder to Russia to esoape
the conflict. In this case the issue of
veracity is clear and unmistakable. Either
Cameron or Magruder deliberately falsi
fies, and the publio will judge between them.
Cameron has the advantage in the North,
because Magruder joined the Southern army;
but Magruder has an advantage in the fact
that bis reputation for truth has not yet been
riddled so thoroughly as has Mr. Cameron's.
In the recent historical antagonisms Mr.
Cameron has been confronted by several
living witnesses, and he has not as yet ven
tured to meet any of them when challenged
to the proof.
We welceme these antagonisms as likely to
lead the publio to a correot judgment on the
points at issue. The time is past when the
testimony of intelligent men, who have been
actors in, or cognizant of, important events
can be ignored because they were guilty of
joining in causeless war against the North;
and the dispassionate of all parties will be
glad to have their contributions to throw all
possible light upon the as yet unwritten his
tory of the war. For that reason we gave
publicity to General Magruder 's and Jeffer
son Davis' letters, and for the same reason
ire copied Judge Black's article. The true
history of publio men and publio events must
be written, and he who contributes to it will
be beard by the whole American people with
out prejudice. The truth of history must be
vindicated, let him suffer who may.
OUR DIRECT TRADE WITH GREAT
BRITAIN. .
We give below a table a table showing the
direct trade between the United States and the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
from the year 1853 to the year 1868 inclusive,
in ships with cargoes only. The tonnage of the
vrss-U belonging to Great Britain, the United
8tatos, aad other countries, are given sepa
rately, as follows

186S 8,103,879 714,423 855,096 8,173,991
These figures afford a striking commentary
upon tbe course pursued by Great Britain to
wards the United States during the Rebellion.
In I860, the year before the commencement of
hostilities, the tonnage of British vessels en
gaged in tbe direct trade between the two coun
tries was but 945,603 tons, while that of the
American vessels was 2,245,834 tons, a large In
ert ase on any previous vear, and more than
double the former. The year 1361 witnessed an
increase of about ten per cent, in the British
tonnage, and a decrease of about the same pro
portions in the American tonnage. In 1863 the
British tonnage fell off considerably, below even
that of I860; but the decrease tn the American
tonnage was nearly one-fourth. In 1865, the
last year of the war, the British tonnage, it will
be seen, had increased to 1,231,660 tons, while
the American tonnage had decreased to a paltry
figure, 484,098 tons. Since the close of the war,
however, there has been a steady increase in the
tonnage of both nationalities, although in 1866
that of Great Britain was about three times as
great as that of the United States during the
same year, and almost equal to that of the latter
in 1860. It will be seen that, although in the
years 1862-65 there was a large falling-oil .in
the aggregate tonnage of the direct trade be
tween the two countries, the figures for 1863
show that even then the loss had been almost
made up.
OBITUARY.
Mark l.emoa.
Mark Lemon, the well-known editor of Punch,
and almost tbe last of tbe ban of humorists who
thirty years ago were making their reputations, but
whose works have now become classics, died yes
terday in London, at the age of sixty-one. Mr.
Lemon was of Jewish descent, and he was born In
London on the 80th of November, 1309. His first
literary efforts were as a writer and adapter of plays,
and he had a hand In the production of about sixty
dramatic compositions of various kinds. All lb one 'a
"Dictionary of Authors" and other authorities on
such subjects, state that he was the author of the
once popular comedy of The Seriou Family, bat
upon what ground we are not aware. French's edi
tion of The Serious family gives Morris Boraett as
the author, but In point of fact It ts "adapted," or,
In other words, stolen from the French, like most
modern British plays. Its original Is a French
comedy entitled Un Mari tn Campagnt, and It is
possible that Mr. Lemon may have made a version
of 1U Mr. Lemon had a great fondness for the
stage, and he frequently performed as an amateur
for charitable purposes. About a year ago he under
took the part of "Falstaff" upon the regular boards,
and made a decided hit, his conception of the char
acter being pronounced by many of the
London critics to be superior to that of any
professional actor of the day. In 1341 Punch was
started with Mr. Henry Mayhew as the editor, and
with Douglas Jerrold, W. M. Thackeray, Thomas
Hood, Albert Smith, Mark Lemon, and
other writers as contributors. Lemon was joint
editor, and on the retirement of Mayhew, two years
afterwards, he became editor In chief, a position
which he held up u the time of his death. To Mr.
Lemon's skill, judgment, and thorough appreciation
of the tastes of the British publio the brilliant suc
cess of Punch was in a great measure due. It is
true he had a brilliant corps of co-laborers both In
the literary and art departments men who have
had no successors, and who are apparently
notBlikely to have. In the early numbers of
PunehZ Thackeray figured as "The Fat Contribu
tor" and wrote for it "Jeames's Diary" and "The
Snob Papers ;" Jerrold contributed the "Q Papers,"
"The Story of a Feather," and the immortal "Caudle
Lectures." In 1844 appeared Hood's "Song of the
Shirt," and Albert Smith discussed the "Physiology
of Evening Parties," and related the adventures of a
London medical student. Of the writers who
made the fame of Punch Charles Dickens Is the only
one, we believe, who remains, and Mr. Dickens was
never a regular contributor like Jerrold and Thaoke
ray. Of the artists Richard Doyle still lives, and In
the full enjoyment of his fine powers, although he
has not contributed to Punch for many years, but
John Leech, who did even more than Doyle for the
reputation of Punch, Is dead, and he has no succes
sor any more than Jerrold or Thackeray, runes
has fallen into disrepute of late years, but It Is un
deniable that it was once a power in the land, and
one of the most Influential exponents of public
opinion. In feeling the pulse of the British public,
and In manoeuvring to adapt Itself to the ideas
of the times, the London Tir,t never dis
played half the skill that Punch
did; and although It was frequently distinguished
by malicious and mendacious abuse of those who
came under Its dislike, or rather the dislike or lu
readers, no paper ever published knew better how
to make the amends hnrhlc when It was neces
sary to de so. A notable instance of this was given
when the news of President Lincoln's assassina
tion was received In England. During the whole or
pur great conflict Punch had been the bitterest of
all the Copperhead organs of Europe, and Mr. Lin
coln was made the special objeot of ridloule and
abuse. The announcement which was made of his
death, however, the total recantation ef evervthing
It had said about him or an offensive character, and
the sincere respect it evinced for his maiy
noble qualities, were apparently so sincere that It
was Impossible not to meet the apologist half way
and accept his regrets for his past evil deeds. This
was but one out or many instances or the polioy that
ruled In the management or Punch, and It Is one or
the secrets or Its success. The future or the publi
cation, however, Is far from appearing brilliant. It
has numerous actrve rivals In the field, some of
which are quite as good If not better than Itself; but
comlo writer and comlo draughtsmen are appa
rently scarce, for the Punch of to-day is a very dull
affair, and now that Mark Lemon has follewed
Jerrold, Thaokeray, Mayhew, and Hood, it may be
said Indeed that the old times are dead and that the
hump-backed jester who ior thirty years has been
cracking everybody and everything over the head
with his bladders, had better don his cap and bells
and prepare for his own funeral.
In addition to his writings for Punch and his
dramatic productions, Mr. Lemon was a frequent
contributor to the magailnes and periodicals. A
number of his sketches appeared In Household Word,
and for many years he officiated as literary editor of
the Illustrated Lcndon h'twc Among his writing
that are known to tbe public may be mentioned "The
Enchanted Doll." a fairy tale, published in 1U9; "A
Christmas Hamper," a collection or stories In prose
and verse, tn 1859; "Wait for the End," In 186 J;
"Legend or Number Nip" and "Loved at Last," In
1864; "Falkner Lyle," "Steryof Two Wives," and
"Leighton Hall and other Tales," In 1166. In addi
tion to these, he has edited a collection of Jests and
about a hundred songs.
Mr. Lemoa Is said to have been a man of genial
disposition aad a genuine humorist in private life,
and he was held tn high esteem by the brilliant
ceterle of literary men with whom he was associated
for so many years.

for tbe surreadcr of military deserters. .
A treaty of commerce has been concluded
at Guatemala between the Austro-flungarian
empire and the Guatemalan republic.
Tbe Austrian Court Is In great consterna
tion. The daughter of the Emperor, the Arch
duchess Giselle, is dangerously ill with scarla

liverpool during April was 24,153, or 2336 less
than in tbe corresponding month of last year.
The British and Colonial Emigration Society
is to send out 1350 additional emigrants on
board ships which will leave England for Canada
In June.
Emigration from France and Italy to
Algeria is greatly on the increase, and the
French colonies are pressing dally farther into
the Interior.
There is a journal In Faris published in the
Japanese language. It is la the shape of a
memorandum book without backs, and is edited
by M. Rosmay, a professor of Oriental tongues.
In Cheltenham, England, samples of sugar
have been found so fearfully adulterated with

Two smart shocks of an earthquake were
felt at Comrie, Scotland, on Friday night. They
were accompanied with a rumbling noise. The
vibration was from west to east. The wind was

No strawberries this year at Madrid 1 The
Spanish capital has hitherto beeu supplied with
that delicious fruit from Valencia; but this year
tbe prices offered for the Spanish strawberries
at Faris have carried every crop to that market.
A submarine velocipede is the next new

The quantity of British proof spirits con
sumed in the United Kingdom during 1869 was
no less than 21,621,590 gallons, ot which Eng
land drank 11,500,000, Scotland 5,250,000, and
Ireland nearly 5,000,000 gallons. The amount
of duty paid on the whole quantity was
10,860,795.
The Opinion Nalionale gives a curious ac
count of the manner in which the writing of
Flourens, in the letter seized on the person of
Beaurie, the French conspirator, was discovered.
'When the former left for England he amused
himself by sending his card to M. Pietri, Pre
fect of Police, and he added the F. P. C. of de
parture usual among friends and acquaintances.
On a piece of note paper in which the card was
wrapped he wrote "Variant pour VAngleterre."
The Prefect compared the papers, and at once
ascertained the indentity of the handwriting in
each.
The British Post-Office savings banks continue
to prosper, and the business done increases
rapidly. There was not a post-office bank in
tbe United Kingdom until the 16th September,
1861, and at the end of 1869 there was 13,
524,209 due to depositors. The interest paid to
depositors, or added to the credit side of their
accounts, now exceeds 300,000 a year. The
amount paid in and the amount drawn out fn
the course of a year are very large; in 1869
5,787,218 was received from depositors, and
4,227,650 was paid to depositors. The charges
of management and expenses Incurred in 1869
amounted to 62,060.
. Political excitement is producing at Madrid a
plentiful crop of caricatures. One of the best
represents Prim dancing on a slack rope upon
the points of swords, which he wears as stilts,
while the republicans and partisans of the vari
ous candidates for the throne look on in expec
tation of a fall. It is called "Equilibrlos del
Interinidad." Another consists merely of a
sheet divided into thirty squares, each square
containing a comic portrait of some one of the
claimants of the throne. In the host of others
tbe "Auction" and the ''Duel" are worthy of
notice. The former represents Prim knocking
down the crown to the highest bidder; the lat
ter depicts him aa engaged In a mortal combat
with a friar, while a bishop acts as a second for
each of the opponents.
The ship-masters and ship-owners in Bath,
