The London Press on the Chinese Trentics, Lonpon, August 26, 1869, The Star, in an article on the rejection of the American treaty by China, shows that the treaty se- cured substantial advantages for the Chinese, while America disclaimed any interferenca with their in- ternal administration. It cannot be supposed that the Pekin government ts dissatisfed with the conven- tion, But that a weak government should yield to the pressure of Minister Burlin- game's enemies, who represent to tt that the convention is at variance with the traditions of the country, is not surprising. It now remains to bo seen whether Mr, Burlingame or Mr, Browne reflects the mind and purpose of President Grant. ‘The Standard thinks that the Chinese, tn refusing to endorse the agreement, show they aré not ani mated by the impulse which Mr, Burlingame de- clared they possessed, and hopes their action will lead tim to abandon functions which secure neither honor for himself nor benefit for the world at iarge.

The General Gommittee of the German democratic Union party met last evening, shortly after eight o'clock, at headquarters, Germanta Hall, near Eighteenth street, Dr. W. Schirmer in the chair. Judge John J. Friedman, on vehaif of the Executive Committee, said that the German democratic Union party had some months ago been informed by the German Republican General Committee of steps taken or to be taken in regard to the school question. Since that time che agitation had ex- panded, by clubs being formed in different wards of the city styling themselves the German Sclioo! Asso- ciation, and organized by a central committee. It therefore became necessary fur the German demo- cratic Union party to define its that movergent by a memorial, tl of which are aa follow:— ‘The education and culture of the young are of \- portanee, inasmuch as thelr mode id. manner imsirers the mind and form the character. The schoo! question has, like every other question bearing on the public ilfe,'n political wae pect, The Germans in thie tmiasion to rank foremost in 40 atriviny against fanaticism and for political as well as religions lib- erty, They can fulfil thelr high mission only when the ideas of iiberty are propogated by a liberal solid education, Not tnatruetion in the German languace along, but a general Progressive tmprovement of the schoo! avatein te donirable.

But the lattoP k more difteult through the f ions of ® very quostional r The committee could not see how the school ay: fom could be reformed by means of such harsagues, The German School Association committee had shown Want of tact, much overhaste and impracticable conduct, The Democratic Union General Committee had bet aloof from that so-called Central Organization. They would rather endeavor to ‘about, by the co-operation of their member in the Board of Education, the desired introduction of instraction in the German language. To this, however, they would confine their wishes, thoy would demand nothing but what benefited their fellow citizens at large, Mr. ANTHONY EickHorr, though admitting that the report contained much that is good, entirely dis- psa of the disparaging manner fn whieh the above mentioned associations were spoken of. He moved to reject the report. Mr. SAMUKL STERN said that on the representation (hat the German member 1n the Board, Mr. Magnus Gross, favored that movement, and, with a viow of supporting him in his oficial capacity he had formed such an association, He moved an amend- ment to Mr. Eickhof’s motion, viz., that the report a oes to the Executive Committee for re- viaiou. dre EIOKHOFF proposed a special committee of ree, J, P, JOACHIMSEN contended that it is a fact that obstacles were iaid in Mr. Gross’ way by the action of the school associations, Mr. Fickuorr—“Why afact??

Wasurnaron, August 26, 1869, Penbedy’s Late Denntion to General Lees OCollege—A Strange Story. If the information I got this evening be reliable Mr. Peabody's donation of $60,000 to General Lee's college to endow a professorship is likely to be of littie use to that fustitution, The interest, which 3 only $3,600 per annum, was Intended to pay the pro- fessor, and $600 to go to tne library yearly. It appears that In 1854, while the Virginia and Ten- nessee Ratlroad was being built, the State issued two or three millions of coupon bends, Selden, Withers & Co., bankers, of Washington, were ap- pointed agents for their sale, and they appointed James Soutier, of New York, as their sub- ageot, During a financial pressure Selden, Withers & Co, took upon themselves the responsibility of hypotnecating several hundred thousand doilars of these bonds with Baring & Brothers aud Peabody & Co. of London, with Soutter & €0., of New York, and perhaps other bankers. Soon after this Selden, Withers & Co, falied and made an assignment of all their pro- perty to pay their debts, leaving out the State of Virginia. Peabody & Co. had then ta their posses- glon $108,000 of these bonds. Karly in the fall of 1354 Peabody & Co. sent these bonds by the steam- ship Arctic to their house in New York and they Were lost with the vessel off Cape Race, Mr. Pea- body then demanded tue reissue of bonds to supply the lost ones; bul ‘his was refused by the Treasurer and subsequentiy by the Legislature, Besides the above amount Mr. Peabody had $35,000 of these bonds purchased in his own right prior to the failure of Selden, Withers & Co., which were also lost at the same time, and which the Legislature refused to pay when he memorialized that body im 1853. It is supposed to be the latver amount, with the in- terest accrued thereon, that Mr. Peabody recently donated to General Lee's College, As tt has once beeu repudiated by the Legislature the chances of its collection from the »tate in its present depressed condition ts rather doubtful, Health of Secretary Rawlins.

The Secretary of the Treasury received a despatch to-day from the bank note companies of New York which are printing the fractional currency, stating that they had shipped the required daily amount ($100,000) to-day, and would continue shipping that amount daily, The Secretary notified them that hereafter they would bo required to ship $200,000 datly, aa this amount was necessary to meet the orders pouring in from all parts of the country, The original contract with the bank note companies wasthat they should furnish whatever amount daily should be required by the government, Up to this time they, have failed to comply with their agree- ment, and it is not expected that they will be able to do so now. In view of the preparations of the Secretary to bring the work here the bank note com- panies have become alarmed, and are just now will- ing to make all sorts of promises, @ Democrats in tho Pensacoln Navy Yard.

The frat business was the motion to appoint a committee of seven for the purpose of presenting the organization of @ State Labor Union for facilitating united action, mdependent of all political parties, An amendment was offered by Mr. Seznorn that & committee of three be substituted, who should be vested with power to calla convention in this State whenever they should deem it expedient.

A delegate hoped It would not be adopted, as there was an inconsisteticy. it was stated that it was an Inherent right to be in- corporated, and yet several apcakers had pro- nounced similar institutions as illegal and despotic, He thén showed that many corporations of labor were in the highest sense tyrannical, and this he considered Wrong. Af-er further debate the resolu. tion was adopt The next resolution which excited debate was that demanding ten hours as a legal day's work. ‘Sey- eral delegates wanted the resolution amcuded by making the namber of hours eight instead of ten, It was held that the government had adopted eight hours 4 a full day, and that by Oxiog the numoor of hours at ten we should array against us the lurge class of government operatives who, by tho very nature of their circumstances, could not agree to inorease the hours of their day's work.

The friends of the resolution claimed that they could not rely upon either of the existing political parties, and It would be for their interest to go it alone, while others thonght the establisiment of a third party was sure to fail. ‘The motion to refer the resolation to a future con- vention was lost, but, on motion of Mr. Cumming: the resolution was amended by substitnting the wor “Independent” for “‘Workingmen’s” Convention, in he first part of the resolutivp, and the resviution, with the amendment, was adopted.

After an hour spent in personal explanations Miss Collins withdrew as a member of the State Veatrat Committee, and N. W. Stoddard, of Norta Bridge water, was appointed to fill the vacancy. The Convention was then addressed by Miss M. Walbridge, of Stoneham, and she regreited that Collins had withdrawn from the State Committee, ‘The cause of the workingmen and women was tet tical, aud they must labor together politi Several other gentiemen spoke.
