ALASKA.—The Congressional Com

finally determined to Mkt:flip testi
mony of 'gr. Alettiv, a witness who is
said to know all about the Alaska pur
chase. if lie really possesses the
knowledge of the affair attributed to
him, there will be some damaging dip

does.
tOur Secretary 1)f State shituld
make his strong point on the English
negotiations, and forego any more dab

came out 'of the Alaska serape only by
a very hard.squceze; the St Thomas

OEN. GRANT AND TIM SOUTH.-
(Jen. Carl Schurz, in his recent speech
before the Legislature of Mi6Sollri. said
that he had a talk with Gee. Grant at
the army re-union in Chicago, in which
Grant remarked : "We 'Cannot go to
them; 'they (the South) nutA come to
114. Brit when they come as improved
men, we should not repel them." This
accords with the spirit in which Gen.
Longstreet, and all ()dun rebels who
are governed by common tense, have
been received by the Republican par,
ty, and is, in fact, only ieciprocating
the ietelligenceitud the patriotism they
-themselves exhibit '

able the Treasurer:to get on,: and the
`consld'eration of the general subject
sent pVer to the present session. It will
doubtless come up before the final:ad
journment ,
Those heat:acquainted with the am—
ditioa of the State:Finances insist that . ,
the, tax on real estate ought not to have
been _relinquished entirely ;' that the
wiser Course would have been to release
the. tax on personal property and let
off half the tax on real• estate. This
would have diminished taxatibn by the
sum of $BOO,OOO and morkf,,annoally,'
and AM have left the Treasury in an
easy condition . ; •Whereas, there is how,
and is likely, to be fr: some YearS
come, a.hteady pinch. lt is olso stated
that the Treasurer has been using tem
porarily- for general purposes half
million dollars of cash belonging to
the Sinking Fund, in order to prevent
miming around. This conaitio'n of
affairs ought, ot to exist, and the duty
Of providing:a remedy for it devolves
on 'the Legisinthre now in session.
- Now, while we hold that it is moat
unwise, if not illegal, to take from the
Sinking Fund assets specially- appre- ,
-priated thereto ; We are not prepared to"
say that of income designated
for the use of that Fund may not be
diverted to other purposes: lt seems
-plain that any tax laid by one Legisla
ture: may be repealed by it or by an
other, wi t ether the, ; Moneys arising,
•
therefrom are assigned to the General
or Sinking Fund. This greater power
of repeal seems to )nclnde the lesser
power of diverting from one Fund ro
another. The real question, therefore
is whether the Sinking Fund is in con
dition to bear the abstraction Without
imparing, the public -credit, or:' wide!' is
the 'same, putting off for too long a
period the, possible cancellation of the
State debt.
During the last financial year file .
Commissioners of. ate Sinking Fund
paid interest on State !mud% held by
them, more than $1,500,000, bought
bonds to the amount of more than $2,-
000,000, and had $934,000 left over.
It will thus be seen that, if the General
Fuud is short he Sinking Fund is flush,
and 'toad' spare half trinillion a year
without prtjtidiee to any interest. pub
lic
If therefore, the.case.eball be found
to stand in this wise, either that thci
State tax on real estate must be rester
--ed, 'or new objects of taxation hunted
out, or certain sources of revenue now
belonging to the Sinking Fund be given
to the General Fund it may happen that
the latter expedient will prove to be the
best.
But, whatever members of the 'leg
islature may do in this regard, they
mist remember that the tide of popu
lar sentiMept has turned against the
spirit of extravagance which wns -en
gendered. by.tho war, and which was
one of the worst legacies it left behind it.
N . 4 unlikely in the reaction a' .degrep
of retrenchment will be insisted on in
compatible with the,,public welfare.—
But this it certain that I.vish appro

that the. Woman's Rights-Convention
have yet sent him a committee for his

eo before they get'through. The Mis

ever, and the Conservative Committee
from Virginia, and the Committee of the
Colored _lien's National Convention,
have- all cAlled upon him and put him
in possession of their respecti4e views.
Each delegation mei 'with a couttrus
reception, and was pleased with the re
sult. Even the dignified conservatives
of Virginia—the same high class of men
that aspired 'to mediate between the
General Governurmit and the State of
Virginia at the outbreak of the rebel
lion—confess themselves gratified with
their interview: These old politicians
of a past era, heavy drift-wood as they
are, have made manifest progress of
- frage-itr connection with universal am
nesty—that is, those- in Washington
avow that condescension, for it seems
that a haek 4.fire'is raised against the
proposition by Henry A. \Vise and
others who hate' stayed at home. It
will-be well, however, for all this class
to learn that Virginia is no moreto'the
rest of the country than .any other
State, that she will have to abide any
matured system that commends itself
to thejudgment of the loyal 'country;

proposition to_ ,replotaish the classes, as

still. survive, was for associates aged - 30 to
35, and they cannot accept recruits aged

others, because younger members would
not be so foolish .as to join, on equal terms
a number of older persons more likely to

the necessary papers for the administration
of thp`Judge's estate have reaffifed this
country, and the news of Miss Getter'i in
