Fenton, After a somewhat protracted and, it may be said, bitter contest between Senator Morgan and ex-Gov- ernor R. E. Fenton the latter received the nomina- uon for the seat in the United States Senate, now held by the former, at the caucus held by the radical members of the State Legislature at Albany on Saturday night, As this nomination was subse- quently made unanimous there appears but little prospect of a “bolt,” so that the election of the nominee to-morrow may be regarded as certain. For the next six years, therelore, the ex-Governor will probably be one of the Senators in Congress from this State, Reuben E. Fenton was born in the town of Carroll, Chautauqua county, N.

WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 1969, The Alabama Cinims Treaty—Provisions of the Latest Protocol. It would appear the original protocol specifying the plan agreed upon between the United States and Great Britam for the adjustment of all pending ciaims, including those arising out of the depreda- tions of the Alabama and other Confederate cruisers, has notyet been received from Minister Jotinson. ‘Phe exact nature of the amendments that have been agreed toin modification of the first plan‘arranged between Minister Johnson and Lord Stanley were telegraphed by the former to Mr. Seward, and as ne- gotuatious have been finaily conoluded and the mat- ter regarded as settled, a copy of the protocol was made at the Department of State and was read at the meeting of the Cabinet on Friday last. The con- vention made by Mr. Johnson. im Novem- ber ast, it will be remembered, hav- ing been submitted to the President, was re- garded by him as objectionable In several points and @mendments with aview of removing these objec- tionabie features were transmitted to Mr. Johnson. ‘Those amendments were accepted by her Majesty’s government in substantially the same form in which they were submitted. ‘The protocol as it has been sent to the Senate is said to provide thata joint commission shall be appointed, two commissioners to be designated by each government. The com- mission will meet in Washington and will hold its sessions here, All claims filed by subjects of Great Britain against the United states and all claims filed by citizens of the United States against Great Britain since the convention of 1853 are to be considered and adjusted by the commission. It is understood that the former classification of the claims, in such manner that a majority of the commission shall be suMcient to decide one class, while to ae cide another class the unantmous vote of the commission shall be required, has been rejected. All claims are to be decided by a majority of votes. In cases where the Commission may be unable to ' agree an arbitrator or umpire shall be agreed upon between the two governments, and the selection thus made shall be subject to the confirmation of the Senate. In case an arbitrator or umpire shall not be agreed upon by the two governments within @ specified time the commissioners have power to select on each side a person to act as umpire, and the choice shall be made by lot. These are said to be the leading features,of the protocol, the remain- der being simply details concerning the method to be followed by the commission in deliberating and deciding upon the claims. The protocol, as submitted to the Senate, is con- sidered to be a very considerable triumph for the United States. It is regarded as a concession of the great point contended for by Mr. Seward—to wit., that the primary question of the lability of the British government for the escape and consequent depredations of the Alabama ehould be referred to the same commission as will consider the points in dispute in detail, instead of to the King of Prussia or any other monarch. ‘The Naturalization and the San Juan Bound- ary Treaties. ‘The treaty with Engiand in regard to the rights of naturalized citizens, which was also sent to the Senate on Friday, is known to contain a full conces- sion of the demands of our government on that sub- ject. In other words, the doctrine so long main- tained by England that “once a subject always a subject” is completely abandoned, and the natural- ized American citizen is placed upon exactly the same footing as the native-born American citizen. ‘The treaty on this subject is said to be, if anything, more liberal in its provisions than that negotiated by Minister Bancrof: with the Prussian government. As regards the negotiations about the San Juan boundary question, | am informed that the British government has also concluded a treaty recognizing our demands. Thus the three subjects of contro- versy with her Majesty’s government seem to be ina fair way of @ satisfactory settlement, Annexation of Canada Proposed. A circular has made its appearance here advo- cating the annexation of Canada by peaceful nego- tiation as a quid pro quo for the abandonment of the Alabama claims, After pointing out the ad- vantages of annexation and the danger of Fenian invasion if the provinces continue much longer under English dominion, the circular continues:— The time is ripe for annexation. The Emperor of Russia in the cession of Alaska has pointed out the way. The pending negotiations on what are calied the “Alabama claims” furnish the conor. The protocol upon between contracting jes embraces a variety 7 unsettied ims and uestions extending back to 1863. Bring the _ proposition for the cession of British North America, and while absorbing all these minor its in dispute it may be made, from financial and commercial equivalents embraced, too attractive to Eagland to be resisted. In in this connection the present agitation of reform in behalf of popular rights and retrenchment among the British people would exert a Be rg influence [And the new ral government under Mr. Glad- ne. ‘The circular concludes by soliciting a reply, as the object is to gather the opinions of a number of in- telligent men whose views are calculated to com- mand public attention, in order that the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon family and the two governments concerned may be drawn to the grand proposition of annexation as tne proper basis for the settlement of the Alabama claims. Visit of a Qommittee of Colored Men to the Indiciary Committee. Messrs. Isaiah Weir, of Pennsylvania, chairman; George T. Downing, Rhode Island; Captain G. A. Hackett, Maryland; James M. Simmons, Georgia; John F. Cook, Digtrict of Columbia; J. W. Stringer, Illinois, and John De Baptist, Mississippi, the com- mittee appointed by the National Colored Men's Convention to seek an interview with the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives, waited upon that committee yesterday and were received in @ most cordial manner. Mr. Weir addressed the committee at length, stating fully the wishes of the Convention and the people he represented relative to their condition, and most respectfully urged upon them the importance of taking speedy action in the matter of the enfrancisement of colored people North and West. Mr. Downing respectfully urged upon the committee the necessity of Congress passing an act Providing that in payment of bounties to colored soldiers no distinction on account of former condi- tion shall be made; but that those borne on the muster roll as slaves shall receive the same bounties allowed to other soldiers for the same period and term of service, The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, in replying to the address of Mr. Weir, assured them that Congress was fully alive to the question of equal rights, and would not fail to take action in the matter in a short time. Regarding the bounty question, they were instructed to seek an interview with the Committee on Military Affairs, who, they were assured, would render satisfaction in the matter. The interview was a pleasant one, last- ing for about an hour, and concluded evidently to the satisfaction of all. The Ku Klax Oatrages in Tennessee. Letters have been received here by a Southern member of Congress detailing outrages in the State of Tennessee. It is stated that two “loyal men” were killed in Franklin county on the day of the election, and another ‘taken from jail and hung in the courtyard. The perpetrators of the acts are un- known. A letter from Shelbyville, dated January 11, eays that in a recent fight the Ku Kiux were badiy whipped, but they threaten to comes thousand strong from Lincoln and Marshall counties, They were about thirty in number and mounted on horse- back. They drove to the public square, “blowing whistles and yelling like demons.” They then Moved down the Murfreesboro pike, and as they approached near Dunlap’s they were fired into and six of them wounded. Just after the Ku Klux ran off, and during the excitement a barn was set on fire. Another letter says if theKu Klux organization fa not suppressed loyal men cannot live in Ten- easee; and the writer adds:—“‘If in this State, with sloyal element and a Brownlow as Governor, you are not safe, what would you look for in the other robel States? We .have no security for life or property, and no exercise of liberty. These are facts, and Congress must do something to protect loyal cit} wens, or they will be murdered by thousands.” A letter from Aspin Hill, Tenn., says theta has been scarcely a night for six months tout the Ku Klax have not gone somewhere tn the “,oi¢hbor- hood and taken out and hung or shot4r whipped foine One, Githor White gf Ulack, an’ BF.yo succeeded in causing such a state of terror that the Dlacks and the white republicans searogly dare speak of them, who say they always punish men for talking, and the citizens all wink at it through fear. But the loyal men are armed, and are, according to these letters, determined to assert their rights, Letters have been received by other members of Congress, showing the fear existing in the Southwest from the Ku Kiux movements, and appealing for aremedy to prevent future disturbances. The Issue of Certified Checks by National Banks. The Committee on Banking and Currency have had under consideration the communication sent to the House by the Comptroller of the Currency, recom- mending that the nafional banxs be prevented from issuing certifled checks, but they have arrived at no conclusion, Ratllroad Differences Adjusted. ‘The difference said to have existed between the Central and Union Pacific Railroads as to the ter- minal point of each is reported by a recent arrival from the end of the Eastern aivision road as having been satisfactorily adjusted, and that Monument Point has been agreed upon for the junction of the two roads, in place of a point further north. ‘The Corn and Cotton Crops.

Thomas’ “Polonaise M [pe goer Day Up One of the most interesting con- Masical and Theatrical Notes. ‘The present week will be characterized by no novel or startling musical or dramatic event in the metro- Polis, Nothing, in fact, which can be strictly termed new will be presented to the amusement loving public of this city for their patronage or approba- tion, As each and every one of our theatres is at present offering inducements sufficiently attractive to crowd them every night with large and apprecia- tive audiences, our managers, with but few excep- tions, find it to their advantage, pecuniarily, to continue their programmes of the past for the present week. Hence it is that for the ensuing six days, we are to content our- selves with the old but palatable morseis which are still found savory enough to please. Next week, however, will witness a radical change in the char- acter of our amusements, and until then we must be grateful for such good as the gods of the sock and buskin provide. Noticeable among the multita- dinous attractions announced for the coming week is the inauguration of John Brougham’s new thea- tre, which is set down for Monday evening next; Mr. John E. Owens as “Solon Shingle” at the Broad- way; an entirely new “Humpty Dumpty” at the Olympic; complete changes in the programmes at the Bowery, Tammany, Tony Pastor’a and the various minstrel halls, and probably “Much Ado About Nothing” at Wallack’s, “La Périchole”’ will be given every evening during the week at the Grand Opera House. The opera has proved a decided success and is drawing crowded houses every night. The ballet has been discon- tinued, and in its stead we are now to have a new Lape ages written expressly for Mile.

"TWEENS MURDER The ward detectives and th the other special police, ‘who are trying to get hold of the murderer of Mr. Rogers, have not since yesterday, wonderful to re- late, invented any new theory in regard to the par- ticular manner in which tite crime was committed or the whereabouts of the ertminal. It fs said on very good authority that a police om- cer by chance had @ conversation with one of the Nineteenth street gang of loungers yesterday, during which the rough remarked:—“You're @ nice set of fellows, you policemen, ain't yout Those fellows got their names in the papers nicely after you caught 'e eS ae it is, | know just where the theese re looking for is as well as I know where Llive, Jana.
