THE ALLEGED CHINESE TREATY.
An inofficial and therefore untrustwor
thy account of the new treaty with China
said to have been negotiated by the Com
mission appointed by President Hayes, has
been received.' It intimates that the Com
missioners was so barren of resources as
to tike that singular measure known as the
" fifteen passenger bill " as a basis for its
negotiations. The so-called fifteen pas
senger " bill was a capricious attempt to
deal in an arbitrary way with the question
•"i Chinese immigration. Why the num
ber fifteen should have been selected for
this purpose it is difficult to understand.
At the best it was a sort of Alex
andrian method of solving the Gor
dian knot, and being, as must
bs presumed, a hasty device, it was
never regarded by those who had studied
the situation as adequate or definitive.
It certainly appears strange that a special
Commission, sent with much pomp and
ceremony to Pekin, should have been un
able to advance a single step beyond this
fifteen passenger law. Did the Commis
sioners possibly regard th it bill as em
bodying the very flower and quintessence
of human wisdom, or did Chinese diplo
macy drive them into a corner ? It would
seem that if the fifteen passenger law was
the best that could be devised, it might
have been proposed to the Pekin Gov
ernment without sending a special
Commission there to demonstrate the
poverty of American statesmanship.
When that law was introduced
to Congress it was pointed out that it
could not possibly produce the effects an
ticipated from it. If the arguments then
adduced against that measure were sound,
we fail to see what satisfaction the alleged
new treaty can give. Of course we must
bear in mind the possibility that the pro
visions of the new treaty have not been
made public with accuracy and fullness,
and therefore we refrain from expressing
ourselves as we should if the official copy
of the instrument were before us. All that
can safely or properly be said on the
strength of the statements thus far given
to the public is that the Commission ap
pears to have facilitated its negotiations in
a manner somewhat new to diplomacy.
Wo had expected, from the known talent
of the Commissioners, a broad, profound
and comprehensive scheme of international
relations, which, while keeping theavenues
of commerce duly open, would have
guaranteed protection to white labor in
the United State*. It seems to us that
this was the desire and purpose of the
nation in appointing the Commission. But
unless the fragmentary accounts of the
Commission very much misrepresent the ;
facts, somethingquite different from this has j
been achieved. The fifteen passenger act
has, in fact, been metamorphosed into a
treaty, and we are gravely assured that this
astonishing consummation is matter for
congratulation, ~ and that through it the
Chinese question is at length "settled."
We shall reserve further comment on the
subject until the actual text of the treaty
is in our hands, and until we know .what
difficulties, if any, the Commission had to
encounter. We may however remark, as
possibly significant, that np to the present
moment the only people who appear to
approve the alleged new treaty with any
approach to heartiness aro the Chinese them
selves.
THE RULING PASSION STRONG IN DEATH.
The maneuver by which the Indiana
Democrats cut down General Garfield's
plurality in that State appears to indicate
that no matter how near death the Democ
racy may be it finds reformation ; impos
sible. . Even with the tremendous lesson
of the late election present before its eyes,
it turns as fondly as , ever .to base tricks
and dirty dodges, and though the perpetra
tion of a fraud, actual or constructive,
cannot help it,' it nevertheless , prefers the
crooked • path ,to : the straight . one. The
device by which the vote of the Eighth In
diana District was thrown out is such as
no respectable politician would entertain,
but it was evidently snapped at greedily
by the Indiana Democrats, who could : not
resist : the . opportunity to swindle voters
out of the | franchise. There was nothing
to be gained by it, and something, in repu
tation, to bo lost ; but the ruling passion
was too strong to be ■ overcome, and so the
Indiana Democracy yielded to the tempta
tion, and did a discreditable act purely for
the love of dirty work. __, 1
NATIONAL FINANCES.
The report of the Treasurer of the
United States shows that the general eon-
dition ot the national finances is satisfac
tory, but that the questions which have been
held in abayance by the timidity of politi
cians during the past summer will have to
be taken up and dealt with now. An
abstract of the forthcoming report of the
lecretary of the Treasury indicates, sup-
posing it to be trustworthy, that Mr. Sher
man is preparing to call ; the attention of
'ongress to these questions strongly. *j The
problems which will demand prompt legis
lative action are, the refunding of : that
part of the public debt which matures next
ear, and the silver question. Tho ulti-
mate disposition of the United States notes
is indeed a matter which ought long since
to have been settled, but public opinion
has thus far been in so immature a con-
dition with regard to it that it has not
been practicable to raise the necessary sup-
01 1 for measures of bound finance. The
circumstance that these notes at present
constitute a convenient and apparently .safe
currency has obscured the fact that their
status is illegitimate, ud that their con
tinued circulation involves a danger to the
country, which ma* at any time taoomo
iiiinincnt. We entertain hope* that under
General Garfield's administration tin* ques
tion may be brought forward tn such a
way M to secure a ■•-.■■.cihilic settlement,
for then can ta no question that Dm
President-elect possesses a dearer under
standing of financial pc.'i.-.pb'i than any
of his immediate jviedev****)** is office
have had, while -' '-■-■• same nuu> In >*
believed to have the «*«*»£<> of his eon
victl.'U*. Whether the people are yet
Butbeieutiy insUnetesl j» these questious
to accept the lyse*-** ifea » hieh etu;ht to be
uitrivlse-ed, ?vi4s*ftM> tvs ts* aeen, but one
strung wix*i.l.«<*tie,s in Javier of an adjust
ment c-i the paper circulation on rational
fousdatiiui* -wall ta ■.i-i'.vi in the constant
danger of tlemage-gio tampering with the
currency so kmg as it is under the control
of agrees. In regard to the funding
operations, it is now intimated that Secre
tary Sherman will recommend the issue
of a long bond at a low rate of interest ;
3.65, or possibly even 3 per cent. The
great success of the funding measures
which have already been accomplished,
and the prosperous condition of the coun
try generally, will no doubt enforce such
a recommendation very powerfully. A
time has apparently been reached, in
fact, when a still further reduction of
the rate of interest paid by the Gov
ernment may be made, and when
United States securities may be put upon
the same level as the English Consols.
The important saving of interest to be
secured by the proposed issue of a long
term bond constitutes its justification, and
it may safely be assumed that inasmuch
as the rate of interest is not likely to fall
below three per cent in the future, the
length the bonds run cannot affect the
public interest. A long bond, moreover,
is a necessity when the interest is so low,
since men will not invest in such securities
unless the range of the investment as to
time can be regarded as a set-off to the
smallncss of its earnings. It is needless
to point out that such a bond once issued
would act as an entering wedge for the
refunding of tho whole debt at a similarly
low rate of interest, and that an operation
of that magnitude would prove incalcula
bly beneficial to the country.
. " jML l**Ml**'*°*****t*****l|'*S
We come next to the silver question, the
importance of which is increasing every
month with the growth of the great hoard
of silver coin and bullion in the Treasury
vaults. Thus tar §25,000,000 of silver
dollars have been absorbed, and the disposi
tion to seek the new coin has again
diminished. It is possible no doubt to
f jrce several millions more into circulatior.
It could be conveyed into the wage fund
of the country, and worked off upon the
laboring classes. That is where such
money is sure to find its way eventually,
and if it should become generally circu
lated it would unquestionably produce a
rise in prices. The operation of -an
inferior currency under such conditions
is no secret. If the Treasury goes on coin
ing silver and selling gold a . time must
come when the silver will take the place of
the gold, and when it will no longer be pos
sible to keep the gold in circulation. This
is not conjectural, but certain, and should
it occur nothing can be surer than the
degradation of the national currency to the
silver standard, and the re-establishment
of the premium on gold. No greater
calamity could befall the country than
this. It would in a few weeks
sweep enormous sums of national sav
ings out of existence. It would
cut down the purchasing power of
the people's earnings ten, fifteen or twenty
per cent. It would necessitate the raising
of all prices. It would destroy the bal
ance of our exchange with Europe. It
would reduce the United States to the
financial - level of China and India. : To
suppose that the people would be willing
to submit to so suicidal and pernicious a
policy is clearly out of the question. The
utter futility of the silver bill has now
been completely demonstrated by two
years of experiment. The Republican
party will henceforth be held responsible
for the conduct of the national finances,
and it cannot afford to temporize with this
question. The duty of the hour is plain.
The silver bill ought to be repealed with
out further 1033 of time. If specie pay
ments are to be maintained, the repeal of
that bill is indispensable, and we trust
that Mr. Sherman will urge this course
with all the weight of his authority and
experience. He indeed cannot afford to
go out of office with an ; uncertain record
on this question, and his reputation as a
financier depends upon the emphasis of
his resistance to any further dallying with
the silver fantasy.
MR. FAIR'S SEAT.
It is reported from Washington that Mr.
James Fair's seat is to , be contested on the
ground ;of bribery. As Mr. Fair has not
yet been elected to the United States Sen
ate this report is somewhat premature, but
it appears to be possible that if the Sen
atorial canvass of Nevada were to be se
verely investigated some astonishing re
sults would be reached. It sounds oddly
enough to hear politicians ; of any party
talking as though corruption was a new
and surprising phenomenon in Nevada. Ti It
almost suggests an apprehension that the
Washington politicians who talk of con
testing Mr. Fair's seat are unsophisticated
persons. - No doubt it is often well to let
bygones be bygones, but if the question of
corruption is ever raised in connection
with Nevada .it must be expected
that such a washing of dirty linen will
occur : as ~ must cause . exposure in the
domestic circles .of all manner of peo
ple. The fact, is . that Nevada ; poli
ticians have always been extremely " prac
'.'_- tical "men, and they ; have gone i into
politics much as they went into stocks—
for the purposes of making them pay. As
a general result there has been a metallic
solidity and ; businesslike character • about
Nevada politics, calculated to surprise the
uninitiated."; Mr. i Fair has possibly— and
probably if common report does not do him
great in justice— employed the ' methods : of
his predecessors in the same ; field. % Thsre
are prejudices against those methods in less
practical communities, we are aware, but
the thing to remember is that no investiga
tion of the facts . , could be restricted
altogether to the present contest, and that
consequently the result would more closely
resemble a common exposure than a par
tisan demonstration. Nevada, in fact, is a
rotten borough— and everybody knows it.
And it has been a rotten borough for what
ever part}* wanted to use it, with generous
disregard of all nice distinctions of prin
ciple and conviction.
THE FACETIOUS PHILP.
Philp, of Morey- letter notoriety, appears
to be an utterly irresponsible Bohemian of
the old and happily nearly extinct type.
Prom what lias been " published concerning
bis antecedents it seems probable that be
may have engaged in the forgery from a
spirit of pure mischief, and without politi
cal or other object. His conduct since the
exposure of the fraud lias been that of a
being without a conscience or a character.
Though hemmed in a corner by the evi
dence for the prosecution he has treated
the whole case with the utmost levity, and
when a penitentiary appears to be yawn
ing before him be publishes a burlesque
confession in the infamous sheet which was
the vehicle of the original crime. It will
he a pity if this facetious person is not
made to understand before the investiga
tion is over that forgery is more than a
joke, and that there are laws even for
Bohemians, His impudence is doubtless
unparalleled, but it should not prevent the
punishment which he has so fully deserved,
oven if that punishment makes him laugh
on the wrong side of his face.
DAVITT SHOWS SENSE.
The reported speech of Michael Davitt
at Mallow seems to indicate that his Amer
ican travels have convinced him of the
futility of seeking sympathy in this country
for agrarian outrages. He is represented
as telling his audience on this occasion
that he understood the temper of the
" American people pretty well, and he be
lieved that the late acts of agrarian vio
lence in Ireland had done the Land League
"cause much harm in the United States."
His subsequent statement, that the Land
League was not, and could not, be held re
sponsible for these outrages, was perhaps
an unavoidable concession to his hearers,
but does not agree with the known facts.
The agrarian outrages have sprung as natu
rally as possible from the agitation of the
Land League, and Parnell and several of
his associates have at various times used
such language in regard to these crimes as
could not but encourage their extension.
Davitt, however, has evidently become con
vinced that a cause which is supported by
cowardly assassination cannot obtain the
sympathy of Americans, and in that he is
undoubtedly right. V. ~:..

DOMESTIC NEWS.
The rostuia.-itcr-Ucncral*-! ltcport.
Washington, November 23d. — The annual
report of the Postmaster-General presents a
large amount of statistical information con
cerning the operations cf the Department,
which has already been published in abstracts
of the reports of his subordinate officers. At
tention is invited to the statement of Assist
ant Postmaster General Brady respecting the
star service transportation and last year's
deficiency as " worthy of careful considera
tion." To have restricted the postal service to
the meager appropriation for 1870 would have
rendered it entirely inadequate to the wants
of the people. He has carefully reviewed the
estimates of General Brady for the next
fiscal year's mail transpoitation in all its
branches, and approves all as being in ac
cordance with the probable requirements of
the service. An appropriation is_ recom
f mended for the continuance of special mail
facilities on railroads, sucha3 extra trains with
mails only, and the acceleration of regular
trains carrying mails, etc., which the people
have enjoyed for several years past. •
The Postmaster-General continues : It is
not doubted that regular and frequent mail
steamship communication with Mexican,
Central American, South American and
trans-Pacific ports would prove important
auxiliaries to American commerce, and I also
think it would be a wise measure of public
policy to encourage, by " appropriate legisla
tion, the establishment, by our own re
sources, of American lines oi steamers to
such of said ports as will, in the judgment of
Congress, promote our commercial interests.
I think it would be a wise measure to so
amend the general law on the subject as to
authorize the payment, by the Postmaster-
General, of a just and reasonable compensa
tion, within a prescribed maximum limit and
commensurate" with the importance of _ the
services performed, to such fines of American
steamers as may be employed under contract
with this Department in transporting mails
of the United States to Mexican, Central
American, South American and trans-Pacific
ports. The money order system continues to
grow in popular favor. The Superintendent of
the money-order system suggests a plan for a
reduction of fees which seems entirely feasi
ble, and which is commended to the atten
tion of Congress. His plan is to reduce the
fee for money orders not exceeding $5 to five
cents ; to extend the maximum limit of an
order from $50 to 5100," so that the increased
commissions received for large orders may
offset the loss resulting from the reduced fees
for small orders. The foreign money-order
business and letter-carrier - system is in a
highly satisfactory condition. • He thinks
dutiable goods coming through the mails from
abroad should bs more numerous instead of
more restricted, and should embrace all mail
matter. He strongly commends the plan
of establishing a ' postal ' savings system
like '; that ;" of •■ Great Britain and Can
ada, ':-; where : it is successful and ' a
source of ' actual profit \to the country.
It would be even more advantageous here.
It would require but little more work and be
a great bojn to the people. He had, while
abroad, examined the postal ' telegraph sys
tem. 'It has been perfected, extended aad
cheapened largely since taken from private
hands, and yields a profit to the royal treas
ury. Is it Eot time to question whether this
system l should not be taken from private
corporations, whose managers seek only per
sonal gain, and not the convenience of the pub
lic? He unhesitatingly indorses Key's war
on lotteries, and recommends decisive legisla
tion against them, so far as the use of the
mails is concerned, in accordance with the Su
preme Court decisions. '■■ He also urges legisla
tion to deprive of benefits of the mails those
newspapers which ! publish lottery advertise
ments. -

The Sum . Chinese Treaty— A Positive
and Sweeping Contradiction. -i :
Washington,' November 23d.— C01. John
Hay, Assistant Secretary of State, and Act
ing Secretary during Evarts' - absence, au
thorizes a positive and sweeping contradic
tion of all dispatches j purporting to give the
general terms of the new Chinese treaty
upon authority or information Ice to have
been received by the State Department. : He
says the State Department has not placed
any information as ito the purport of the
treaty, which is said to have been signed, al
though of course it may be safely assumed to
be in accord with the Commissioners' instruc
tions. Any other statement purporting to be
telegraphed from Washington concerning it
is merely imaginary. Your correspondent is
also enabled to say that it is not in the
slightest degree improbable that any such
detailed stipulations as those imagined by
certain . reporters could form part -of the
treaty, for the Commissioners" instructions
contemplated only clearing the way for legis
lative, action by Congress. "^-Vo.:
A Two-Edged Sword. .
Chicago, November — The Inter-Ocean
says : Should the Democratic programme
succeed in keeping out of his seat by a long
winded contest tbe successor of General Gar
field in the Senate, the Republicans can
promptly retaliate. James G. Fair, the
bonanza millionaire, who lives in San Fran-'
cisco, notoriously procured his election to the
Senate from Nevada by the purchase of the
Legislature. Objection can properly be made
to his being seated, on the ground that his
election was procured by bribery. His case
is one that would require full as much de
bate before its settlement as could that of
Garfield's successor, and so the plot to de
prive the Republican side of one vote in the
Senate, while an interminable debate was
continued in the Ohio case, would be balked
by the exclusion through the same tactics of
Fair, a Democratic Senator.
The Proposition to Lease Alaska. ,
Chicago, November 23d. -7- The Inter- ]
Ocean's special Rays : The suggestion is deli- j
cately given out at Washington that it might
be well for the Government to get rid of j
Alaska by leasing it to the Commercial Com- |
pany. ' It might be as well for the Govern- j
ment not to restore slavery under such a |
guise. In the seal fur isles thai, is what has
practically been done, and tbe miserable
Aleuts, permitted to sell what they have for
sale only to the Commercial Company, and
suffered to buy what they want from that
company only, are put in a position to be as
completely rubbed of all the fruits of their
labor as though they were under the slave
driver's lash. The lease of the remainder of
the Alaskan Territory signifies an extension
merely of that disgraceful state of affairs.
Present from Union Victoria to the j
President.
Washington, November 23d. — A large ,
box was received and unpacked to-day at the ,
White House, and was found to contain a
massive desk (a writing table), a present from i
Queen Victoria to the President of the
United States. It is made of live oak, weighs j
1,300 pounds, is elaborately carved, and alto
gether presents a magnificent specimen of
workmanship. It is made of timbers of the
Arctic exploring ship Resolute, and the in
scription concludes, "Presented by the
Queen of Great Britain and Ireland to the j
President of the United States, as a memo- i
rial of the courtesy and loving-kindness which j
dictated the offer of the gift of the Resolute." i
Effect of the Weather on 'Change.
New York, Novehiber 23d. — The Commer
cial Bulletin says : The weather is playing j
into the hands of the bulls on the Stock Ex- >
change, Produce Exchange and Cotton Ex- j
change. The sudden freezing up of the State I
canals, catching some 10,000,000 bushels of I
grain of all kinds in the ice, caused wheat to !
advance from $1 2-H to Sl 28}. Dispatches ]
from Buffalo say the ice is three inches thick, I
and boatmen accept the closing as final for !
the season. Accounts from Syracuse, how- .
ever, indicate a hope of opening the canal for j
some distance upwards, as an ice-boat has j
been sent to break up the ice. At the worst,
some 6,000,000 bushels will be virtually
hoisted from the "visible supply " until May i
next. With the enormous stock in the in- I
terior, and a still large visible supply remain- i
ing after this deduction, the effect of this sur- j
prise upon prices can hardly be expected to j
prove very permanent.

The Reputed Miracles at Lonrdis.
New York, November 23d. — Rev. Dr. !
Tyng, the well- known evangelist clergyman j
of the Episcopal Church, preached a sermon j
Sunday evening which attracts much atten
tion in literary and religious circles. Speak- j
ing of the reputed miracles at Lourdes, i
France, he said : "No ono dare attempt to
deny that a multitude of cures took place
there. The lame leaped, the deaf heard, the
blind saw. It will never do in this eenera- j
tiou to deny this authenticated fact." The I
Doctor related what he himself had seen
there in evidence of the genuineness of the ;
cures, which he declared were the effect of I
simple, unquestioning faith. " Call the R<~m- 1
ish system what you will," said he, "a half j
truth or a truth wholly overladen with error, |
here nevertheless are the facts. The Roman !
Catholic Church is wise above all other socie- !
ties of believers. I do not.find it in my heart j
to impugn their motives, and in my puny ef- |
forts I am striving to attain to the same re- I
suits."
The Case or Cadet Whittaker.
New York, November 23d.— The Herald
reports a conversation with officers of the
West Point Academy as to the effect of the
petitions now circulating requesting tho Presi
dent to restore Cadet " Whittaker to his
former place and allow him to graduate.
The officer *aid : "While the President can
send the cadet back to West Point as often as j
he pleases, he cannot graduate him. No j
member of the present Board could or would i
sign Whittaker's diploma. He had conspicu I
ously failed in repeated attempts to pass the
examination."

courtesy of the Secretary of the j Navy, was !

J sources of Mexico.
• New York, November 23d.— 0. H. La-
Grange, formerly Superintendent of the San
Francisco Mint, has just returned from Mex

He speaks enthusiastically of the prospect of
developing the resources of Mexico by rail

though not so rich as those of Nevada, will,
by the use of the economical methods of mm- !
ing now practiced . in the United States, in- j
crease their product twenty -fold with the

Various Washington Items.
Chicago,:' November 23d.— Tbe Inter-
Ocean's Washington special says : We learn
to-day that the raiders into Indian Territory
have been arrested, and the War Department
says all such will be severely dealt with, and
the Indians be protected at all hazards until
the law is defined differently than now under
stood by the Government authorities.
The reason for the second investigation into
the South Carolina census is not to satisfy
Gen. Walker, President Hayes or Secretary
Schurz, all of whom accept the figures as final
and correct, but to satisfy the country at
large, and make possible a redisricting. If
there was no reliance in the reliability of the
census, there would be bitterness, suspicion
and inflammatory speeches in Congress, and
great difficulty in getting any redisricting,
General Walker intends that hi 3 work shall
be the standard in every case, and be accept
ed as conclusive.
Congressman H^uk of Tennessee says that
Maynard will be the only Senatorial candi
date, and will likely receive votes from sev
eral Democrats who desire to support the
Administration. This will elect him.
Bailey has most of the present strength of
the Democrats.
'Judge Lawrence says there is nothing in
the alleged possible deadlock in Indiana.
Porter becomes Governor by going to the
place designated by law and taking the oath.
It is understood that Garfield will be urged
to dismiss the Democrats in the employ of
the Departments. It is said they constitute
sixty per cent, of the working force, having
been wormed in by Democratic Congressmen.
Clerk Adams says all the precautions of !
the Republicans regarding the technical form
of certificates of members are useless, and he
will make up the roll of the House with ab
i solute fairness. :, ; ,> -"
J I John T. Collins, a Republican candidate
! for Congress in Georgia, claims that he has
' been counted out, and will contest, adding
j another to the already unprecedented num
! ber of contests. .
Congressman Springer discovers that a
Demrcrat has been elected in lowa, and a
Republican, whose majority is only 17, is
defeated. He claims that the Republicans
threw out some Democratic votes.
Southern Republicans will protest to Gen.
Garfield against a sectional Cabinet, and
will urge that he give the South some recog
nition in his Cabinet.
The impression gains that Garfield will not
even retain Sherman, of the present Cabinet,
j but nothing is known positively. y-
A Long-Pending Case Decided.
Washington, November 23d.— The Com
! missioner of the General Land Office today
! rendered a final decision in the long-pending
i case of the rancho Boca De Santas Monica,
| seven-twelfths of which are owned by j
j Senator Jones and R. C. Baker, and the re
j mainder by the original grantees. The novel
' question presented to Commissioner William
i son was whether he had jurisdiction to dic
| tate a selection of the quantity of land con
! firmed within the designated exterior bound
j aries in a case like this, when the owners
! could not agree upon a selection. He de-
I cides that be baa jurisdiction, holding that
| under a decision of the Supreme Court, and
: upon a proper construction of the Act of |
July 1, 1861, the making of such selections by I
the owners of a grant is not a right, but only
I a privilege given by the generosity of the
1 Government in cases where the confirmees
j agree upon the selection. He then proceeds
I to order that the excess of 322 acres shall be
! thrown off from the eastern portion of the
I tract by a line commencing in the northeast
j corner of the judicial possession. The prin
j cipal part of excess area thus segregated is
adjacent to the town of Santa Monica, and
i the decision is therefore favorable to Jones
| and Baker.': . «'

Panama, November 15th. The Star ami
Herald says : . The American schooner Mary
E. Hall, bound for David with a general
cargo, was stopped by the Chilean steamer
Amazonas. As this schooner is a small
coaster of twenty -seven tons, it is rather
ridiculous to suppose that she could have had
arms .on board for Peruvian ports. Two
blank shots were fired from the Amazonas
on the night of the 8:h, when she sighted the
schooner, as a signal for Captain Nash to
heave to', which he evidently not understand

that he apparently bore away toward the
Olcque Islands, and gave the people on the
Amazonas an idea that he was trying to ea

were fired at the schooner, which was then

to be general merchandise destined for David,
