A - despatch fvm Landon, of the
15th teat, atatelothat the treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain for the settlement of the dla•
bamiz claims has been signed by Mr.
Johnson, - the American Minister, and
Earl Clarendon, the ForeignA4reta-
ry. This treaty is , now on its way
to this country, but a copy, or its
substance, received by telegrapb,was
communicated to the Senate at Wash
ington by the State Department. A
letter from Washington, making this
announoement, says : "In the first
place the negotiations have resulted
in a complete and most unequivocal
retraction by the English Govern
ment froldits original position ; and,
finally, every demand made by Mr.
Seward has been acceeded to—in
fact, every point that he claimed
when this almost intermidabte Ala
bama correspondence first coremenc-
I'd gits been gained, and.the. United
t 4 tates Government standi to-day in
the position of victors in the greatest
diplomatic strangle of the age."
The following is given as an ab
ttract of the treaty :
"It embraces eight points or articles,
the first of which provides that the
t wo governments hereby agree toithe
( ttlement of all claims and differen
ccs which have - svisen between them
ince the convention of 1853, allac-
counts were settled to that date. The
ti , cond proVides that _the purpose of
this settlment a commission of four
ersons shall be appointed, to consist
f two to be appointed by each pow
ur. The third agrees that a majority
,f the commission shall decide the
questions brought before it: The
t'itirth provides that, in case of a
disagreement regarding any claim,the
commis/11m shall notify the two gov
ernments, and shall nominate an um
pire, who shall not be qualified to
act until the Senate of the United
States has agreed to his nomination
—or, in other words, ratified it. The
fifth article contains some provisions
egarding the time in which claims
tiball be considered by the umpires,
and that if they disagree the ques
tion of disagreement shall be settled
by lot, in the presence of the com
mission. The sixth article excludes
all claims arising from cases which
Lye been adjudicated byour courts
of admiralty from the jurisdiction of
the commission. Article seven prc6
vides that claimants shall prove,first,
that they are British subjects, and,
m‘cond, that they. preserve a strict
neutrality during the war, and did
!lit aid the rebels. . Article eiiht
provides that the commission shall
hold its session in Washington."
Two other important treaties have
also- 1 been negotiated between Mr.
Johnion and Lord Clarendon, which
-ettle , all poinif in dispute .between
the two governments, and as far as
now appears, on a basis perfectly
satisfactory to our gi vernment and
i.eople. One of these is the Natural
ttiowtreaty, similar ; to those nego
tiated with other great European.
It.owers by Mr. Bancroft. It gives
np the doctrine so strenuously main
tained by England, "once a subject
always a subject,w and places •the
naturalized American citizen upon
..xactly the same footing-, as the
native born American citizen. This
• a mere prcitOcol, for the reason
that its provisions conflict morally
with the naturalization laws of Great
Britain, "and before it can become
binding those laws will have to be
changed by act of Parliament. For
title reason it was impossible that
Earl Clarendon could sign a treat.),
:aril' consequently it is sent here in
the informal shape of a protocol
l'ue third and last treaty finally dig
' vises of the San Juan boundary diff
orences in such a manner that we
cannot, at any time, haie
rote wits England on that subject.
_ It will 6 - e an occasion of great re
,j.licing if these matters are settled
trwonionaly, On a basis so satisfac
tory and so complmentary to . our
own country. In regard to"the points
in dispute we have not had the larg
e-t interest at stake. The few mil
lions involved in what are known aa
the Alabama claims were a mere
trifle compared with the danger which
the English Government were under
of having their own !doctrine turned
against them, in case they should go
t,-) war with any other power what
over. The eommeice of England
ight then be at the; mercy of priva
teers as was ours in the late rebellion.
But although we have far less than
England to lose in leaving these
questions open, should the treaties
be ratified substantially every rikht
minded person in both countries will
rejoice that all occasions for misun
derstanding and alienation and die
gate between the two Governments
are at an end ; and that tie - may, as
• two great Protestant nations, speak
, ing a common langßage goon to ful
fil in perfect concord our common
destiny in blessing the world.

The bill introduced by Senate .
Taylor, of Beaver, in the Senate, will
be supported by the llepublicii*
members of the Legislature. It em
braces nearly all the provisißs4.
the act of last year, but -has "been'''.
well considered at the legal talent of
the State, and will undoubtedly pass.
The act is exciting much attentkm„
and the Democrats will oppose it.--
The substance of the bill is - that the
election officers of Philadelphia shall
meet on the impend Thursday prneed
ing the Becond Tuesday of October
and, Presidential elections, continue
in session from ten in the morning to
seven in the evening each secular
day till the evening of the fbllowing
Tuesday.. Outside of Philadephia
election officers shall meet on the
second Monday preceding the regu
lar October and Presidential elections,
and continue in session from nine to
to seven o'clock of that and the fol-
lowing day. •
The revising board shall haVe due
discretion as to the strike oft of the
names of the dead act. Naturalized
voters at the election- may be ques
tioned as to all factei ~on oath. On
petition of fifty voters of the county,
or five in the dsitrict, the. Court may
appoint two officers of opposite party
as inspectors, and if unlawfully in-
terfered with, and the election be
contested, the votes shall be rejected.
A majority of the Beturn Judges may
reject the returns. If there be fraud
ulent naturalization in open Court,
the naturalization code provides that
the Prothonotary shall b deprived of
office for negligence. All special
acts are repealed. fhitr act will un
doubtedly be passed, supported by
the Republican members. It is ar
gued as not conflicting with the Cons
titution.

good day for making United States
Senators. There were six chosen then,
by five Legislatures, and notwith

it is to be hoped that some method may
be devised, to put an effectual stop to these
frauds. i If they cannot be stopped, elec
tions are a farce, and we may well despair
of the safety of the Republic.
Theill for the erection of a postal Tele
graphe,
cby the government, from ,
Wash
ington r New York, and also the bill for
an air-line government Railway from this
city to liew York, are still pending, . but
with do btful prospects of success at this
1 session.' .
The House on Saturday bad under con
sideration the bill, "To (manse equal privi
leges- and immunities to citizens of the
United States, and to enforce the provisions
of article fourteen of the amendments of
the Constitution." The first section pro
vides, that no :State shall abridge or deny
the right of any citizen of the United States
to vote for electors of President and Vice
President, or for Representatives in Con
gress, or for members of the Legislature of
the State in which he may reside, by reason
tof race or color, or- previous condition of
slavery.
- The second Section, imposes penalties
upon officers of regietration,and of elections
for wilful violation of the provisitins of the
first section.
The third Section, imposes a penalty for
wilfull hindering or obstrncting,or attempt
ing to hinder or obstruct, any citizen on
account of race, or color, .or the previous
condition of slavery of such citizen, in the
exercise of his right to Vote for the officers
named in the first section of the act.
The fourth Section imposes penalties up
on any person disqualified by Section 3, or
Article 14, of the amendments of the con
stitution, from whom such disability shall
not have been removed by act of Congress,
who shall exercise, or attempt to exercise,
the powers and duties therein specified,and
provides that an indictment for the same
may be found at any time within ten years
from the commission of the °thrice.
The fifth and last Section provides that
the District Courts of U. S. within their re
spective districts, shall have exchisiVelnris
diction of all offences committed against
this act.
No decisive action was arrived at upon
the bill, but it will come up in order agabi
soon, when it will be brought to a Vote, and
from present indications will pass the
House..
The right of Congress, under the Consti
tution as it now stands, to regulate suffrage
in the several States, so far as it relates to
the electors of President and Vice Presi
dent, and members of the National Legisla
ture, is unquestioned ; but whether Cen--
gress can fizikurtalification of electors or
members of State Legislatures, is a mooted
question. The right to do so, is predicated
upon the fact that the Senators in the Sen
ate of the United States, are elected by the
Legislatures of the several States.
. To cover the whole ground, a Joint Reso
lution has been reported by the Committee
on the Judiciary, entitled "Jcdrit Resolution
proposing an Ame i t e li of the Cowan
tine of the United as follows :
Aztrozs--Sac. 1. The right of any citi
zen of the United States to vote shall not
be desired or abridged_by the United States
or any State by reason of race, or color, or
previous condition of slavery, of any citizen
or class of citizens of the Unite States.
Sao. 2. The •rus shall have power to
enforce by appropriate Legislation the pro
visions of this article.
That the foregoing resolution will be
passed during the present session, there is
little doubt, and thus the amendment will
be submitted to the present Legislatures of
the several States, for ratification or rejeo
tion. It is made a special order in the Sen
ate on Thursdayliezt. • •
The proposed Inaugurstion Ball, to be
held at the Capitol upon the occasion of the
Inauguration of General Grant, on the 4th
of March, has been abandoned. With his

charge, expressing a wish that no each pub

The joint committed to try the contested
election, case in reference to the office of
President Judge for Philadelphia, xpported
to the peejalature, on Thursday. that they
had received a letter; from Mr. Hirst. the
Democratic candidate and contestant, with
drawing from i contest whieb he said had
always been distasteftd to hint, and request.
ing that the election of Mr. Hare might be
'affirmed, as he was ; satisfied there were
sixty majority in the Fifteenth', ward in ad- -
dition to what - had ;been returned. The
committee were therefore unanimous in re
porting that Judge "fare is entitled to his
'seat, and were discharged from further con
sideration of the matter:
In the case of Bunn vs. Witham,in which
the latter was returned as elected from .the
Xlth district Of Philldelphia, to a seat in
the House, byla majority of twenty-five, the
evidence on the part of the contestant was
presentedOn Tuesday last. Two witnesses,
Michael Blain= and Christian Land; each
testified to having Voted the Democratic
ticket twenty times, Usually under assumed
names. Another witness testified to voting
the Democratic ticket. ten times on the
same day. Two other witnesses stated
that they had followed a party of atm on
election day arid saw them vote a number
of times at different' precincts. It is not
expected that Mr. 'Witham will attempt
much of a defense, and there seems to.be
but little doubt of the committee awarding
the seat to Mr. Bunn.
Mr. bsterhout hair introduced into the
Senate it bill providing that no interest, nor
policy cf law; shall exclude a party from
being a witness •in tiny civil proceedings,
except in the, cases Of husband and wife,
counsel and client, and where one party is
dead the Othei shat} not testify to-any ad
missions' made by the formes. This law,
substaitially, is novi in force in the States
of Maine, Ohio,lieW Jersey, Massachusetts,
New York, Clainectiont, Michigan, and per
haps others. The same rule obtains in the
English Courts, and also in' the District
Cleurts of 'the United States. The law has
been found to workmen in most oases, and
among the best legal minds ef the cohntry
there seems to be a -growing sentiment in
favor of such a rule. A similar bill has
been before the Legislature nearly every
session for a number of years past, but
there now appears 'more probability of its
becoming a law than ever before.

The formal ballet for 11. S. Senator was
had in . each House on Tuesday. The ag
gregate vote stood for John Scott 78, for
William A. Wallace 51, for Heider Clymer'
I—that of Senator Wallace. Senator White,
Republican, and ttenator M'Candleas and
representative Nelson, Democrats, were ab
sent at the time tbe ballott was taken. Mr.
Scott Arrived here on the day of the election
accompanied by about a hundred of his im
mediate . constituents. He was warmly
greeted by members of both parties, and
received many congratelations upon his
success in attaining to his present position.
At the last session of.the Legisbaturo a
law was passed fixing the number and the
salaries of the officers of the Legislature.
At the opening of the present session it
was found that there were a large number
of persons here who bad been promised
positions, and no offices for them to fill.
The House thereupon pasied a joint reso
lution to authorize them to employ twenty
seven additional officers. In this resolution
the Senate refused to concur.- Thereupon
the House pissed a simple resolution au
thorizing the appointment of this altdition
al number Of officers. In Om; discussion of
this question on Monday evening, the point
was raised that the House bad no • right to
pass such it resolution in conflict with an
act of Assembly. • Mr. Davis, of Philadel
phia,
.beingin the chair at the Him ruled
that as the constitution provides that each
House shall choose its officers the resole:
tion was in order, the Constitution being
higher than a mere sot of Assembly. This'
is a matter that the Democratic press
throughout taw- State are attempting to;use
for political capital. The facts- however
are that with this -addition the number of
officers is considerable less - than it Las been
for some years past ; nor is it as great as
under a Democratic administration, when
there was not half the work there now is
to be done.
A committee of the medical society of
Penn Sylvania have presented to the , Legis
lature a memorial urging the _propriety of
enacting a law which shall so determine the
relation of the insane as to protect the med
ical profession in giving certificates of in
sanity, the insane from improper influences,
and the community generally from injus
tice and oppression. In the memorial a
history is given of the mode in which pa
tients are admitted into hospitals for the in
sane, and the whole subject thoroughly dis
cussed, showing how difficult it is in many
cases to secure the admission of proper
subjects. There is also accompanying the
memorial a bill deisigned to cover the do
feet; in the present system, and to secure
in future a more speedy and sure asylum
for those *us unfortunate. This is a sub
ject *filch demands the most carefill atten
tion fronvour legislators, and should incite
the co-operetion of every person who has
the least spark of sympathy for those lens
fortunate than himself.
