Senate Seeret Sesslour—Treaties Not Yet Acted On, } ‘The business of the Senate wm exacutive session, 80 Jar as relates to confirmation of Presidential appoint- ments, is ended untit the 4th of March. The several committees have ‘called the calendar” of nomina- tions, and reported that there are gone on which av- tion is necessary. But there is « large amount of basiness for secret session already pending and of great importance. Firat comes the treaty relating to the Alabama claims, This, however, has not yet passed the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs, Several animated discus- sions have taken place and it is not yet certain that the committee will report tavorably. The probability is that there will be a majority report in favor and @ minority agaiust. {tts certain to cause protracted and lively discussion in the Senate, Then there is the naturalization treaty, to which there is no objection, umlegs it be to some minute points, It will be readily and soon ratified. The proposed treaty with St. Domingo, now that the House hus so contamptuously refused to treat for the purchase of the tsland, will doubtless fall to the gtound, Of commercial treatiea there are several with the Netherlands aud other Kuropean States, some modify- ingtoa greater or leas degree present relations, some confirming and continuing present arrange- ments, The treaty with Peru is of greater impor- tance, It proposes a joint commission for the set- tlement of claims of citizens of the United States against that government and prescribing rules for the guidance of the commission. Another treaty Proposes to submit the question of possession of the island of San Juan and the boundary near the coast between the United States and Great Britain to the republic of Switzerland, as an arbitrator. This is strenuously opposed by residents of Oregon and Washington Territory, Then comes the Sandwich Islands treaty, in which reciprocity ia all oneside. ‘The islands want free trade with the United States. hey raise ‘considerable sugar and various other products. The sugar plantations are nearly all in the hands of two or three wealthy men, former resi- dents of the United States. This treaty w in their interest chiefly. The Pacific Senators and Represen- tatives support t¢ because their constituents will thus be able to get sugar acouple of cents a pound cheaper. The argument is to secure the whole trade of the Pacific. Wecan control that now. The treaty has been on band for more than a year and ts not likely to be ratified. Last and worst are tho Indian treaties. Of these the most prominent and shameful is the Osage. Some Senators are ready to aacrifice any business, any treaty, any appointment, to secure its ratifica- tion. Tins proves it to boot great personal interest to somebody. This ts equally clear from the fact fhat simply to pronounce the words “ treats” raises 6 wild flutter in the lobby. The fact Is that all Indtan treaties, like Indian wars, are purely mat- ters of private speculation. A war is robbery and the treaty is robbery, to be followed by a new war and a new treaty of the same sort. The condition of Indian affairs is painful to every honest and every sympathetic heart. The remedy the clearest mind has not yet been able to devise. Something must be done, and doubtless, therefore, some of these Indian treaties will be worked through, The fewer the better. The Senate cannot, of course, conclude all this business during the present session; but they intend to despatch it at the special sessfon, held imme- diately after the inauguration, to consider the nomt- nations made by the new President. Securities. In reply to a resolution of the House of Repre- sentatives, inquiring whether any (and what) “banks have boen allowed to exchange gold interest secu- rities of the United States for the six per cent cur- rency bonds issued to the Pacific Ratlroad, and when and what amount” the Oomptrolier of the Currency has written a letter giving the desired information, He reports that “the total amount of such bonds so received’ in exchange is $12,592,000," and “the amount in five-twenty and ten-forty bonds surrendered for them 1# $11,217,000, showing an aggregate increase in the amount of bonds held of $1,365,000," The Comptroller states that the exchange was made and acted upon first in 1865, after the decision had been given that this class of bonds (Pacific Railroad) ‘was legally receivabie as security for the circulation of national banks.” He surther says:— Since the date of the passage by the House of the resolution calling for information on the subject, the highest quotation of five-twenty bonds bearing six per cent. gold interest ts 109, Circulation ™ Issued upon these bonds at the rate of ninety per cent of their par value; cone sequently for every dollar of currency issued uj them the security heid, at the ion ne i, is equal to $1 21. ‘The highest quotation for teu-forty rey bonds bearing five per cent interest is 105, Circulation is issued bg these at the rate of eighty-five per cent of their par value; con- sequently for every dollar of currency issued upon them the security held, at the quota- tion noted, is egual to $1 23. Registered bonds» imsaed to the Pacific Railroad, bearing six per cent currendy interest, were selling, on the 18th inst., at a fraction over 100, Oirculation is Issued upon these bonds at the rate ot Cay pee cent of their par valne: consequently for every dol- lar of currency tasued wu) them the security held at the quotation not Se ee: Se that at the present time the bonds last named, the the best security at rates prescribed, are held by the Treasurer of the United States for the a of national bank notes; while the fact that they have tnirts by eM] run at six per cent interest, with # proba’ me § that the ben en rely tuon between currency sold interest not be & permanent one, renders it likely that their value as an investment or as a security will gradually but surely enhance.

Yachting in Engiand, es well a8 i other coun- tries, has tts duties at all seasons of the year, and may be comprehensively divided into four periods, each calling forth responsibility, skill and energy, Pastime, patience and pieasure. in winter new yachts are built, repaired and altered. At spring they are fitted out and in the summer they are in full sail, Inthe autumn they begin to tay up, after thetr exciting battles, and, like warriors, repose on their hard-earned isureis or on their well sustained reverses, This ts the season for retrospection, and {tis hoped that the sport is one not of that nature caloulsted to cast a saddening or gloomy reflection over any household or human being. Indeed, no instances are ever heard of yachting bringing ruin and desolation in its train, and were all eporte so free from vices as it there would be fewer cases to record of wasted youth and talent and consequent misery. Having taken a trip to the principal yacht yards I give you below an account of the operations at pre- sent going on in each of them. Yacht builders have their partisans, and to say which isthe most popular one would be a difficult task. The shipwright’s maul ,and caulker’s mallet are just now very active at Gosport, in the county of Hants, and the yard of Mr. Nicholson (late Camper & Nicholson, builders of the famous Aline, the beauti- fal Blue Bell, the majestic Pleiad and a host of others) may be selected as the most busy. Mr. Nicholson’s establishment is a naval dockyard in miniature, and his row of covered sheds, patent slips and other mechanical appliances bespeak ac- tivity and good management. At present he is con- structing three schoonera of great beauty and power—oné@, of 136 tons, for Sir Wm. Brown; an- other, of 125 tons, for Mr. Clifford Smith, and the third, of eighty-Qve tons, for Mr. K. T. Potter. These vessels are now in frame and promise to be fast vessels as well a3 good sea boats. Mr. Nicholson is very wisely avoiding the pitfail of the “hollow bow” that other bullders usually fall into, On the patent slips and in the yard adjoining are the racing yachts Aline (Mr. R. Sutton) and Fiona (Mr. E. Boutcher), algo the Queen Eleanor, Duke of Marlborough and Circe—all hauled out of water— the two former being kept high and dry all the winter for the purpose of lightening, or what is tech- water and Soren ie Gaatn Means b= red forth- sor the Circe submitting toe = 8 i i sd ‘and Hatcher and a private a belonging to Mr. Chamborlayne, the owner of the cutter Arrow.

She draws about thirteen feet of water aft, and nautical readers will easily tmagine frow her great draught of water how sharp her mid- slip section ws. Her canvas is made by Messrs. Lap- thorn. She has an immense quantity of jead in her and heavy leaden keel. Her internal fittings are lished walnut wood, aad, which ts unusual, she is tted as m pleasure vessel, in addition to being thoroughly Ley a raciog yacht.

Many imagined that the prisoner himself had deen over- come by the terror of his situation; the whole roonr lifted on tiptoe to ascertain the truth.

PROBABLE MURDER IN THE EIGHTH WARD. Brutal Stabbing Afiray Among Negroce. At an early hour on Sunday morning two negroes, named George Henry Starr and Samuel Lang, char- acteristic specimens of that class of colored persona who are constantly roaming about the Eighth wart seeking whom they may devour, became involved in a drunken altercation at the intersection of Laurens and Broome streets, After a lively interchange af -words between the two Starr suddenly rushed inte a grocery store on the south west corner and snatobe@ up a large batcher knife, He then returned to the street, brandishing the knife over his head, an@ brought it down with such force on the forenead Lang a4 to inflict a hideous gash, simost, ear to ear, laying the fiesh open -to, the bone, and felling his victim insensible to the pave- ment.
