WASHINGTON with Great Britain. The Alabama Claims, the Naturalization and’ San Juan Questions Adjusted. Jacobin Excuses for Voting Against the Repeal of the Tenure of Office Law. The Virginia Unionists Opposed to the Reconstruction of That State on the Term; Proposed. » * WASHINGTON, Jan, 16, 1869. amportant Treaties ‘Concluded With Great Britain—The Alabama Matter Adjusted. ‘The President yesterday sent into the Senate three highly important documents—the treaties between this government and Great Britain on the question of the Alabama claims, the question of the rights of naturalized citizens of the United States abroad, and the question arisingout of the Joint occupation of San Juan. All of these questions, it is believed by those who are cognizant of their characters, are arranged on a basis that can scarcely fail to be eminently satisfactory to the people of the ‘Vinited States, The protocol mn relation to the Ala- Dama claims 1s concluded, substantially on the basis of the original terms presented by our gov-- ernment, All the. changes that were urged bv her Britannio Majesty’s Government have been receded from and the amendments to the first draft of the protocal arranged between Minister Johnson and Lord Stantey, recently made by Secre- tary Seward, have been accepted. These amend- ments brought the plan of settlement back to the conditions at first proposed by this government. The moment the protocol was received in the Senate it ‘was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations and ordered to be printed in confidence for the use of the Senate. Senator Sumner instantly weized upon it, and consequenty no Senators were allowed to look at the precious document, Its con- tents have not, therefore, been made known to any person but Mr. Sumner. The Committee on Foreign Relations meet on Tuesday next, when the matter will be laid before them for action in the question concerning the rights of naturalized citizens temporarily sojourning in Great Britain. That government has virtually surrendered the claim, “Once a subject, always a subject,” that it haa hitherto so strenuously insisted upon. By the terms of the treated just concluded it is understood that a subject of Great Britain who may become a naturalized citizen of the United States may visit Great Britain or Ireland and enjoy the same rights ‘and privileges as are enjoyed by native born citi- gens of this country. It is stated that Mr. Seward 1s gratified at the result of nis long sustained exer- tions, and does not entertain much doubt that the terms agreed upon will be promptly accepted by Congress and the people. ‘The Sick Jacobine—Their Excuses for Voting Against the Repeal of the Tenure of Office Act. . Jt ts understood that Messrs. Schenck, Delano, Ghellabarger and others of the Ohio Repre- sentatives whu voted against the repeal of the Wenure of OfMfice law in’ the House were not opposed to repealing the provisions of that law which deprive the “President of the powers that faave been exercised by the head of the nation since Wie foundation of the government. They were in | sid qliberal modificetion, and desirous of A. ap amendment to it, providing in brief that (he President should have exclusive control over ae Sppointment of his Cabinét, ané'thdt he shoula (6 power 10 suspend officers for cause during the the Senate, and should report such sus- to the Senate at its next meeting. If, then, such suspensions were confirmed, the OMcers so suspended should stand as removed from Gate of suspension; also that the President should hot be required to submit to the Senate his reasons for such suspension. As the resolution for the re- peal of the law was hurried through under the “‘pre- vious question,” no opportunity offered to present the amendment, and therefore the Ohio members voted against it, in the hope of defeating it and se- ouricg an amendment of the law in accordance with their views. Keonomy in the Treasury Department. As the labors of Mr. E. B, Washburne’s Committee om Appropriations leak out their efforts to force economy upon the government departments create something of a sensation among the heads of bu- and their clerks. It seems that the committee § reduced the appropriation for the Treasury for the fiscal year endlag June 30, 1870, to a surprisingly small sum, and have designated, without consulta- ton with the department officials, the exact umber of clerks, copyists and messengers ‘Wat will need to be discharged in order to bring their expenses within the limits of the The heads of bureaus are troubled got a little to decide upon the manner in which these reductions shall be made, and some of them declare ‘that their present force is so small that the current basiness of the government is barely transacted. In the office of the Commissioner of Customs the cleri- cal force has beon reduced by the figures of the com- mittee as followe:—One third class clerk, salary, $2,000; two second class clerks, combined salaries, $2,000; three first class clerks, combined salaries, $3,000, The messenger’s salary has been cut down from $1,000 to $840, and the salary of the laborer has been reduced from $720 to $690, making & reduction of expenses for the year of $8,200. Some of the gossips of the Treasury, in speculating upon this cramping of the Treasury officers, think that the meagreness of the appropriation is an un- mistakabie evidence that Mr. Washburne does not e@xpoct to be Secretary of the Treasury under Presi- dent Grant, or he would not so impoverish that in- stitution ag to provide for its chief a world of per- Plexity and embarrassment in the fature. Others contend that, from the fact that Mr. Washburne expects thé process of reduction to begin at once, the whole matter is only g scheme to provide a goodly eupply of vacancies be filled by the incoming Secretary; fur they do not doubt that all the vacan- cles created by this reduction will be filled after the 4th of March and means of payment farnished by a Gefictency bill, If this be the object in view there ts but a poor prospect for the harmonious working of the plan, as it is understood that Mr. McOnulloch has mtimated his intention not to take a single step ‘towards the execution of the plan. The appropria- tion® for the fiscal year 1809 will be sufficient to serve through his term of office, and the business of discharging and reappointing may be performed by his successor. Rebuilding Levees in Louisiana. Senator Kellogg will, on Monday, introduce a reso- lution asking government to endorse bonds of the ‘State of Louisiana for the rebuilding of the Mists- |@ippi tevoes, and offering in trust for the fail and sats actory liquidation of the bonds the seven mii- bon acres of swamp lands originally granted by the gencral government to the State. It is also pro- poset, in order to insure the United States against Any possibile loss, that every section of alluvial Jand reclaimed fiom overfiow shall be at once disposed of to the highest bidders and the amount of bonds cor- res| with the price realized thereupon can- celled, after the pian pursued in the case of the Minols Central Railroad and advocated by Stephen A. Douglas, General Grant, according to a Western newspaper disapproves of the government giving its indoreement to bonds of this character, no it remains to be seen ia What light the Senate views the matter. Senator Kellogg will also introduce a resolution call- ing for the government surveys of the present and pro- posed routes for railroad lines to the Pacific. ‘This ie done for the purpose of aemonstrating that the fouthwestern Pacific ratiroad, a bik to incorporate which was yesterday introduced by the Sena tor, offers much greater physical aud commercial ative movement. These old feel naturally wroth at the after all their fond and patient that the tives have the best of the bargain. The Female Clerks in the Treasarv De- partment. Secretary McCulloch has found it. very diMcult to discharge @ female Treasury clerk. A: few weeks ago it was ostentatiously nolsed abroad that heavy reductions were being made in thejbureau of the Treasury Department, and the office es- pecially. Register Jeffries sent to the two Mists of ladies who were idle at | time in his bureau. One list contained ‘and the other seventy. Of these 160 about’ 100 were discharged. The consequences of ths reduction. of force immediately followed. Mr. Mc- Culloch had little time to do anything else than Usten to the remonstrances of Senators and Repre- sentatives, who could not understand why their fair friends had been discharged, and whe insisted on their prompt reinstatement. The Secretary was very obliging, and therefore complied, and about seventy-five of the pretty female clerks were rein- stated, General Jeffries did his best to find work for tuem, and about thirty were employed in counting the January coupons, which had begun to come in; thirty of them were detailed for duty in the office of the Third Auditor, and the remainder are simply idle, They report at the office daily and then depart to seek amusement untils omething turns up for them todo. Meeting of the Seuate Finance Committee. ‘The Senate committee on finance held a meeting this morning and discussed the merits of various bills that have been feferred to them since the begin- ning of the session. Mr. Wilson’s bill, proposing an amendment to the act providing for a uational cur- rency secured by United States bonds, was deemed unnecessary in many respects, as its provisions are already sufficiently covered by law. Mr. Sumner’s bill, providing for the punishment of those who might violate any section of the national currency bill, was considered equally superfluous. Mr. Mor- ton’s bill received cautious consideration, and was thought to contain agood deal of material that would yet proveserviceable in the framing of a general bill on the finances. Only four members of the committee ‘were present, and no particular line of action was determined upgn. * Improvement of Rivers and Harbors, The Senate Committee on Commerce held @ meet- ing to-day and agreed to report the House bill of last session, with a few slight modifications, making appropriation of over $5,000,000 for the improvement of rivers and harbors in various parts of the country. The sum of $230,000, the balance of the appropria- tion for the blowing up of the obstructions in Hell Gate 1s in the general bill. The Election Frauds in New York. William Lawrence, of Ohio, chairman of the com- mittee appointed to investigate the alleged frauds in the recent election in the State of New York, re- varned here yesterday morning. He brought with him a large amount of testimony taken before the committee which he will ask to have fprinted. The testimony is regarded by the repubiican members of the committee as proving immense frauds com- mitted at the election, and their report. will adops this theory, The democratic oom- ‘mittee will bfing in 8 minority report, showing that if any frauds were committed it was done by the republican party managers. The com- mittee do not propose presenting a report until the testimony 1s printed, which will not be before two weeks. ©. J. Dickey, a member of the com- mittee, did not return with the other members, having gone into the river counties of New York to take further testimony. Amendment of the Tenure of Office Act. Senator Wilson’s bill amending the Civil Tenure act was referred to the Committee on Retrenchment im the Senate, with the decided purpose that it should remain there until the last few days of the session, when a caucus of Senators will be held and the question of total repeal or considerabie modifica- tion will be discussed. Wilson’s amendment is ap proved bya majority of the republican Senators, and its passage now would be certain but for the deep-seated aversion that nearly forty Senators feei to afford Andrew Johnson any gratification while he yet remains in office. In fact, if the end of the session were at hand it would be no cause of surprise if even the amendment was substituted for the House bill of total repeal. Reconstruction in The Reconstruction Committee have closed up their investigation of the Georgia case, and to-day sent a large amount of testimony to the government. As soon as it is put in type the committee will prepare @report. It seems to be the general understanding that the committee will report against any distygp- ance of the present state of government of Geo! ‘They propose to leave with the Legislature of Geor- gia the question as to whether negroes are entitled, under the constitution, to seats therein, with the privilege of an appeal to the State courts and from thence to the Supreme Court of the United States, ‘This .it i thought, will prove a satisfactory arrange- tpent for ali concerned. ‘The New York Smuggling Cases. Information has been received at the Treasury Department that the firm which owns the lot of silk seized a short time ago in New York for evasion of the import duties has appeared and entered bonds in jthe sum of $100,000. Their attorney has offered to compromise the case with the government by the payment of over $60,000, on condition that the goods be returned them. The proposition wil be considered by the Secretary of the Treasury in afew er State of Affairs in Arkansas, A radical member of the Arkansas Legisiature writes to a friend here that martial law and military lawlessness, though not In the abstract very com- mendable methgds of government, have nevertheless had a most salutary effect in reducing Arkansas to passive and orderly loyalty. He recommends that it be tried in all cases with refractory communities, and deems it about the same laudable abrogation of law as the exercise of lynching where justice moves tar- dily. No loyal men are now disturbed tn Arkansas, and the rebel element is as peaceably disposed as might reasonably be expected from any terrified population. National Art Union Association. A bill was introduced by General Banks a few days ago to Incorporate the National Art Union As sociation, The names of Albert Bierstadt, Régis Gignoux and other New York artists are prominent as corporators., It is proposed to make this District the centre of operations and have branches in the different States. Establishment of a School of Mince, ‘The Senate Committee on Mines and Mining heta @ meeting to-day, but a¢ no quorum was present nothing in the way of business was transacted, There was a good deal of talk, however, over Stewart's project of last session to establish a School of Mines, and it was generally agreed that the im- mehee development of the mineral resources of the country called for such accommodation, The National Bricklayers’ Union. ‘The second convention of the National Bricklayers’ Union adopted # resolution to-day which legalives the adoption of the cight hour law by the National Convention, and empowers the Subordinate Unions to innagurate etrikes whenever, in their opinion, occasion requires, provider they do ao in conformity With the constitution of the National Union. Vhe ‘matter of raising funds to sustain atrikcs was icf to ployer or employé sfiall be pronounced a “‘scab."” ‘The National Colored Conventien. ‘The National Colored Convention has adopted a of an equal rights for an amendment to the constitution, so as to put ‘beyond cavil the right of every citizen to vote irre- spective of race or color or condition, and urging upon Congress the necessity of further legislation to redress the outrage of expelling the!colored mem- bers from the Georgia Legislature and to restore the rights of the colored people in that State. A sub-committee is preparing an address to be laid before the American people, and another committee has been appointed to present the suffrage question before the Congressional Judiciary Committee. Among the propositions before the convention is that @ national paper be published in the District of Columbia, and that a committee for the better education of the colored people be appointed and instructed to call a colored educational convention at Raleigh, N. C., on the 22d of February. Troubles of a Tennessee Revenue Officer. A letter was received to-day by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue from an officer of the depart- ment in Tullahoma county, Tenn., giving an ac- count of outrages perpetrated upon the revenue officers in that section for performing thelr duty, He states that a few nights since he was taken from his bed by a party of masked desperadoes who threatened to blow his brains out if he at- tempted to enforce the Revenue law. They then fired a number of shots at his house, but released him after exacting a promise that he would not attempt to enforce the law. The matter has been referred to the United States Attorney of Ten- nessee, with instructions to request the assistance of @ military force to aid the revenue officers to perform their duty. Admiral Farragut, General G. H. Thomas, General A. C. Gillem and Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, dined with the President this evening at six o’clock. Weekly Currency Statement.

A LEITER FROM A LOBBY JOHBER. ‘WASINGTON, Jan. 14, 1869, Unless something is immediately done to change the current of events our occupation will be indeed gone.
