Doctor Scott has contributed an important paper to the Secretary of Stat., recommending tiie modification of thie exis:int treaty of reciprocity between this government and Hawatian government. He says that the value of the articles reported tous from the Sandwich Islands is six times that of the artt- cles exported by us to the island, and that under the treaty as it now exists, the United States admits free of duty the sugar and rice product of Honolulu, and for what it exports gets no adequate return, A SOUTHERN Democrat's Hoperct. View oF THE SITUATION.—Mr. A. D. Banks, of Miss., who was at one time secretary of the National Dem- ocratic Committee, is at’ the Riggs House. He takes rather a roseate view of the patton situ- ation, and thinks that the republicans are be- ginning to crow before they are well out of the woods. He says that, adding the greenback yote to the democratic vote, the repubilcans are in the minority in Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. A STAR reporter asked hii “But how do you propose to reconcile the differ- ences between the hard and soft cee demo- crats?” Said Mr, Banks, in reply; “They will be reconciled. What is the use of a party which tor years has been fighting for constitutional wernment quarreling, now that the reins of ‘he government are almost within its oe The same fare for all is offered on tne demo- cratic table, and this quarrel about the waiters wiil soon end. I think that the differences be- {ween the democracy on the financial question will be healed by the wiping out of the national banks; when the government shall issue only its own notes and the national bank notes are replaced by greenbacks or coin, then the dem- ocracy will come together again and be full of Vitality for the campaign of 1ss0, THE OSHKOSH GERMAN WHO IS IMPRISONED IN is FsTHERLAND.—The case of the naturalized German citizen of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who Went to Germany and was arrested for express- ing himseif too freely concerning the conduct of the German government, has been brought to the attention of the Department of State. Our minister to Germany, Bayard Taylor, has been instructed to Inquire into the case, and report to the department. Interference in behalf of the man arrested will be had if found jnsti- flable.
