The documinta in Commotion with the
Thotatss Treaty email of a confideatial character,.
but'sti much has recently been said abent thetu
in private Couversation here, that atom, of ' their
leadieg points .may be ItIVOO. It appears tot
Otgotiations for the purchase of tne Dani-h
islaeds were began four years ago, daring Mr.
Lincoln's adMiniettation, when Mr. steward
made proposals for them, saying they
were teamed by our our country for a
naval statiOni • The • Danish Minister dill
not think Att all favorably , ,of the prop°.
action; but of coulee forwarded it to his Govern
ment. From the King ol Denmark, through his
Foreign Secretary - , there soon came answer that
the Mande were not for sale and that it.was not
considered advisable to entertain the proposition.
Then followed the death of Mr. Lincoln, the se•
cession eif Mr. Johnson and a change In the Da
nish henna Government, and in the . fall of 1865,
Sir. Seward renewed his proposal. ets , influ
ences were about the King of Denmark, and he
replied to the , tiThot that while he still' had no-de
sire to stil, the Vetted States might make It for
his pecuniary advantage to do so. A period of
silence or inaction seems to have followed. But in
1866, jest as the Danish Minister was going home
on leave of absence, Mr. Seward put into his
bands a letter, in which he Offered $5.000,000
for the three islands. This was duly
before the King of Denmark, 'and he Made
answer that the price ; was not sufficient. In
the winter of 1866 Mr. Fred. Seward made his
trip to St. Thomas, and when he returned
our Secretary of State was more than ever anx
ious to buy the islandtyand in the spring of 1867,
the matter began to take, the , shape it finally as
sumed. The Danish Government from the first,
as the correepondence,shows, was very loth to
negotiate and seems to have sometimes doubted
whether Mr. Seward would be sustained by , the
legislative branch of the Government. Tee Sec
retary; heiwever, represented that the Executive
had complete right to make the treaty; that
there Was no doubt of its ratification by the
Semite, And that the House and the country
would:, approve the action of the Senate. The
Secretary of the Navy had formally recom- •
Ituenatei the purchase of the islands. The Ae
siatant Secretary was a strong advocate of the
trefity.` Two . or three prominent Senators had
declared for it. Mr. Thad. Stevens had made a
speech - in the House showing his coOddence in
Secretary Seward, and had carried that body
with him on an important question of money.
Tan fact that the negotiations were going on had
become public, and was commented upon
by our newspapers without hostility to the idea
of purchase, and the Danish Minister finally be
came persuaded that Um 'Country really wanted
the islands, and that Mr. Seward was correct in
his view that that the treaty would at once be
ratified as a matter of course. This being thel
situation it was not difficult to reach an under
standing, and our offer of seven and a half mil
liottrwas accepted. The Danish Government
refused, boa ever, point blank to sign the
treaty unless the people , of St. Thomas
were willing to be transferred to the United
States, being moved to this refusal by considera
tions of home pulley. Mr. Seward did not deem
this of consequence, but finally consented, and,
under eh curnstauces that will readily be recalled,
the inhabitants of the island Voted almost unan
imously for the transfer. The treaty was signed
in October, 1867, and laid before the Senate
in the following December, more than thirteen
months am.. The ratifications - were to have
been exchanged in February, 1868, and
proper action was accordingly taken by the
Danish Government. No action , whatever has
vet been taken by our Senate, or even by the
Foreign Relations Committee. -The Danish au
thorities led that they have been very badly used.
They say the good faith of both countries. ours
and tffeirs, is involved in the transaction. They
have,to oblige our Government, sold Who& that
they had no wish to sell. They have carried oat
their part of obligations entered into after long
negotiation, and they now;ask that we shall meet
our part of the bargain to which they consider
our national honor has been pledged by the Ad
ministration acting through Mr. Seward The
Secretary admits the force of this view, so does
Mr.-Sumner, and there is reason to believe that
it is entertained by other Congressmen of both
branches. It is pretty certain that the subject
will be discussed befoto the end of the session, in
open as well as in secret Senate proceedings.
CRIME.
BENI' 2 BOND 11011BOBY IN NEW
lOttli.
One nundred and Thirty-five Thou.
sond Dollars Stolen.
The Herald of this morning says:
Another very heavy bond robbery was revealed
to the police yesterday, the victims this time
bbing Messrs. Cambreleng & Pyne, of No. 14
Wall street, and the amount stolen being the
comfortable little sum of $135,000.
It seems that on New Year's eve the office of
the firm in question was closed as usual, and
every precaution taken to prevent any thief from
celebrating the new year by taking anything of
value from the place. Among other things
which were carefully looked after were the two
safes of the establishment. In one of them
two tin boxes, one of them containing
$lOO,OOO and the other $35,000 In bonds, were
stowed away and the safe locked, the key used
in locking it being placed in the other safe,vreleh
was also after Wards locked. On New Year's day
the Porter of the establiatuneut kept good guard
over the place, and—it is charitable to suppose—
the police did likewise, and no person was seen
to enter or come out of the office during the day.
Saturday morning the doors were opened as
usual, when every thing to all outward appear
ance seemed in apple-ple order. The safe con
taining the key of the second safe was opened
and the key found; but when the other safe had
been opened the surprise of everybody may be
imagined when it was discovered that the two tin
boxes had disappeared. There were no marks of
violence about the safe, no traces of a jimmy
or other burglarious instrument, so the
clerks were left to conjecture among themselves
how the boxes got out, and with about as much
success as is said to have attended the king in
bis efforts to find out how the apples got into the
dumpling.
It is almost needless to state that the greatest
excitement prevailed in the office when the loss
of the bonds became known, and everybody
looked at everybody else for an explanation of
What nobody could explain. The police were
notified of the occurrence, vv hen detectives Philips
Farley and Joseph Eustace were ordered to
"work up" the ease. So far, notwithstanding
theitstrenuous effortS to reach the guilty party,
they 'have been unsuccessful in getting hold
of the wanting man; but they discovered,
however, during their investigation that one of
thts'eletim employed by Messrs. Cambreleng ii
Pyne has not as yet put in his New Year's ap
pearance. He is said to be a young man of excel
lent Character, and, it might be said, almost
abeve auppielon, were it not that his absence
cannot he accounted for by thoeo who ought to
be able to know something about It. Enna
have been made to find him, but au far without
mamas.
OUTRAGE IN LOUISIANA.
Nowipaper °Mee Destroyed by Dem
The New Orleans Republican of December 81st,
contains fuller particulars of an outrage which
has already been announced by telegraph.
"We have received a despatch from Amos S.
Collins, clerk of the Seventh Judicial District
Courti'.:atstieg that the press and printing ma
terials of the Marksville &ulster were yesterday
completely destroyed by d mob ltd by the editors
of the Dew ocra lie paper published in that place.
The Register was conducted as a Republican pa
per and published the judicial advertisements of
Avoyelles parish, and this publication probably
led to Ma lawkes suppression by the partie.s inter
ested in the Democratic paper at Marksville.
This is the sixth Republican printing rstaolish
ment that has been destroyed in this State by
mobs, actingmainl y t„
in t h e .n—rest of Democratic
newspaper publishers, who resort to this despe
rate means to secure for themselves a monopoly
of judicial adtertising. The. State authorities
should strip these Democratic publishers of every
legal advertisement obtained by such lawless acts.
These men should be taught that the whole power
of the State and National Governments will be
brought to bear to *nankin the freedom of the
press in Louisiana. The other Republican news
paper establishments that have been destroyed in
this State by mobs are Blackburn' s Router 1 liati
(twice destroyed), the St, Landry Progress, the
Attakapas Register, and the Rapides Tribunn.
It is about tone that the whole people of
Siena should tears. that lawlessness and violence
will not be tolerated by law, even it it escapes
uur,islnent.
- The State authorities should prohibit the pub
lication of judicial advertisements in the Ope
lousas Courier, the Alt xandria Democrat, the
Franklin Banner and the Democratic paper at
