Our views, he continued, are not adopted; hence, in the opinion of the government, am answer 1s required, which the govern- ment of the United States appears to invite. This answer wil be delivered to the Ameri- can Minister in London before Thursday of the present week. it would be inconsistent with public business to tay the correspoudence before Parlia- ment at present, particularly as the Congress of the United States has declined to ask itof the Presi- dent, The tenor of our communicatin, while it shows we are anxious to carry the treaty into exe- cution, will, 1 trust, not fail in that sense of the State and nature of the case which the honor of this country demands. The statement of the Premier was received at the Close with loud cheers, Earl Granville, in the House of Lords, made a re- Diy, in substance the same as that given in the Com- mons, to an inquiry of the Earl of Malmesbury concerning the correspondence, adding that the Papers would be produced as soon as possible.

DvBLIN, March 18, 1872, 4 ‘The celebration of St. Patrick’s Day at Cork yes- terday was one of unusual proportions. A mass meeting was held in tne City Park, at which It is estimated nearly fifteen thousand persons were present, The various organizations marched to and from the park with flags and bands of music. Although there was much excitement, no disorder occurred, and the police force, which had been largely in- creased for the day, found no occasion to interfere. Mr. Romayne presided and on taking the chair Made a powerful speech. He satd “the most despotic government in Europe would not have allowed such an occasion as tne Royal Thanks- giving to pass without signalizing It by an amnesty to political prisioners. The Queen of England should remember that her dynasty owed its exist- ence to the greatest perjurer of modern times—the Duke of Mariborough, Providence’ seemed to inter- pose to remind her of that, for in the same carriage with the Queen, when O'Connor presented his pistol and petition, sat a lady of honor who was a descendant of the Churenills. England had never granted Ireland anything from motives of Justice; concessions had always been wrung from her through fear.” The speaker’s bold denunciations were received ‘with frequent and prolonged cheering.

A FAMILY POISONED. A Horrible and Heart-Rend- ing Story. A Wife and Five Children Found Senseless in Their Home—The Death of the Woman and Sad Condition ofthe Children— The Poisoned Tea Supposed to Have Been Bought. BALTIMORE, Md,, March 18, 1872, ‘The usual Sabbath quiet of this charming Monu- mental City was greatly disturbed yesverday evening by the announcement that the entire family of Mr. Ezra Arnold, one of the most prominent, wealthy and esteemed citizens of Frederick county, bad been poisoned, aud that the wife was dead, while the five children, ranging i age from five to twenty years, were in an insensible condition. The news spread like “wildfire,” and created the most intense excitement, for Mr, Arnold was well known and highly esteemed; and the interest increased as the rumors were each time related, because it was impossible to get the particulars, as the residence of the stricken family was nearly twenty miles distant. As it was quite late when the carrier arrived, and in almost speechless iright told his story to the physician to whom he had come for ald, The most feartul stories were re- lated by the eager crowds that gathered to discuss the terrible news, and it was almost impossible to gain any authentic statement last night of one of the most mysterious occurrences that have ever transpired in this country. This morning the excitement seemed to have in- creased instead of decreased. The wildest stories were related in reference to the manner of the pol- soning, and the source whence the fearful crime emanated—if crime it was. The stories that were set afloat by the imaginazion of the common herd were as varied as the people that discussed the sorrowrul event. A RELIABLE REPORT. Later in the day the more truthful and au- thentic statements of people from that locality were subsctuted for those !maginative Tales, and from one of the most intelligent of these Ilearned all ne or any one else not direct from the painful scene knew of the melan- choly affair, It appears from his statement that on Sunday evening some of the neighbors went to Mr, Arnold’s house for the purpose of pay- ing a visit, and that upon rapping at the door no Tesponse Came save the cries of a little cnild within their sight, who seemed seriously ill and unable to speak, ‘This aroused the suspicions of the visitors, and they entered the house only to witness a scene of horror the counterpart of Which has rarely, if ever, been seen in this country. A DYING MOTHER AND SENSBLESS CHILDREN. There jay the mother in the very last agonies of the death struggle, with all the evidences of the ter- rible suffering that follows poisoning depicted upon her countenance, while around about her were her offspring, all that were of ner flesh and blood, even to Ue infant that gathered succor at her breast, strug- gling wiih the terrible demon that was eating her life away. Each and all were insensibie; not one could command its powers of speech to tell what had happened, and while the terrifed neighbors stood aghast atthe sickening signt, stunned by the fearful scene before them, the mother, upon whose brow the death damp had long since gathered, passed irom earth and was free trom the terrible suffering that had eaten out her life. ATTEMPTS TO SAVE THE CHILDREN, As soon as thought could be collected other neigh- bors were called in, and the best medical aid that could be obtained in Burkettsvulle, a little mountain village of some four hundred inhabitants, near by, was summoned, and everything done for the living yet insensible children that tender sympathy could suggest. A courier was at once despatched to this city for turther medicat aid, and ever since their arrival all that skill and careiul nursing could do for their recovery has been done, aud this evening comes the cheering news that there is hopes of the recovery of the children, But as yet there 13 no solu- uon of the mystery as to how or why the poison was administered, None of the children are yet able to talk much, and what they can say goes but a littie way toward»accounting for the terrible oc- currence that has caused such great excitement =o wrapped a whole community in the aeepest joom. SUPPOBED TO HAVE DRANK POISONED TEA. It is believed that the tea which was made for supper on Saturday evening, which had been pur- chased at a country store a day or so previous, was whe vehicle through which the poison was adminis- tered, and a portion of it is in the hands of & chemist, who will submit it to a thorough analysis and determine the fact ‘Whether or not it contains poison. No suspicion of foul play exists on any member of the family, for all were equally affected by the poison, save Mr. Ar- nold, who had left home for Baltimore with a drove of cattle # dav or two before the fatal occurrence. He was immediately summoned home, and 18 deeply sorrow stricken by the great calamity that has befallen his heretofore happy and prosperous household. The authorities have taken the matter in hand and will Bape to a rigid in- vestigation of all the tacts and circumstances that cluster around this remarkable and mysterious fares and if crime there be it will be brougnt to 1 GOVERNMENT DEFALOATIONS.

BALTIMORE, Md., March 18, 1872, General Vavid L, Stanton, for some years Collec- tor of Internal Revenue tor the Fifth district of Maryland, 1s alleged to be a defaulter in from twenty to thirty thousand dollars. A system of false en- tries has, it is said, been mace tn nis books during the past two years, so that the exact amount or the defalcation cannot yet be determined, Supervisor Fulton jast week began an inspection of his books, and, finding that ail Wasjuot right, this morning sus- pended him pending the examination.

Sands, who was the former Collector of the district under President Lin- coln, appointed to fill his place, and he will at once take charge of the ofice. General Stanton is a young man, of about thirty years of age, and has heretofore borne a good character, but lately he has been keeping the company of young men of means and leisure, and itis beileved that he has cultiva. ted expensive habits that led him into peculations that have resulted tn his rain, He was a coionel in the First Maryland infantry, and was _brevetted brigadier general for gallant conduct at Five Forks, BOSTON’S MUSICAL JUBILEE, Queen Victoria and the Frince ef Wales invited to the Great Festival.

CROIX JOB IN THE SENATE, WASHINGTON, March 18, 1872. The Status of Alaska Indians. The Secretary of the Interior has written a letter to the Speaker of the House with reference to the condition of the inhabitants of Alaska, who resided there prior to and at the date of our acquisi- tion of that territory, The communication includes letters from William Barrows, late ot the United States Army; Commisstoner Walker and Peace Commissioner Brunot, addressed tothe Indian Department, containing iniormation with reference to the numbers, character and re quirements of these people, The letter of the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs suggests doubts as to whether the native inhabitants of Alaska should be administratively recognized as Indians within the intention of the laws organizing the Indian offices prior to some positive legislation bringing them Within the recognized jurisdiction of the Indian Ofice. Mr, Brunot expressed a desire that the Alaskans be placea under the care of the Interlor Depart- Ment, and that & portion of the past appropriations be expenaed for their venefit, Secretary Delano, Who has given the subject such consideration as the pressure of public duties would admit, thinks it @ duty which the government cannot ignore to pro- vide for the weifare and civilization of the inbabl- tants of Alaska, He thinks tt pot material to this question that these people should have descended from the same ancestry and b@ of the same race as tie Indians of North America, now under the guardianship of the government. But while fully recognizing this duty he cannot, as an executive officer, under. take to expend government funas tn its discharge Without clear warrant of law, and, recurring to certain circumstances which lead him to this con- clusion, Mr. Delano mentions, in the first place, the fact that Congress nas not yet provided any Terri- torial government for Alaska; also that previous to its acquisition we had a well defined and distinctly organized system of Indian service, embracing all tribes of the United States and applicable only thereto. He also intimates a doubt that the Alaska Indians, so far, at least, as they inhabit the islands, belong to the same race as the North American Indians, Which suggests the questionable propriety of using the general fund for the service of Indians the De- partment appropriated prior to the acquisition of Alasha for their wants without definite legislative authority. The Secretary further says that it 1s the duty of the government to bring this semi-barbar- ous and uncivilized people under the influence of the beneficial provisions made for the Indlan tribes now under the jurisdiction of the Indian Omice, I have no doubt he expresses these views for the purpose of inviting the attention of Congress to the subject, im order that such legislation may be introduced and perfected as will lead to the performance of the duty which the gov- ernment owes to the inhabitants of Alaska, witnout having such a result acconfplished by what would be at least a very doubtiul if not a clearly erroneous interpreuon of existing laws. Tne Secretary has also calied the attention of Congress to the condition of the Potawatamie Indians. After a careful examination of the treaties made with these tribes, several articles of which are set forth in the Secretary’s communication, the conclusion 1s reached that they were intended to provide ior all the Potawatamles the right of citizenship; that it was not expected, however, that each and every one of said Potawatamies would avail himself of this right; and that, in order to provide for those wno did not become citizens, the Secretary was authorized to set apart, as a reser- vation for their exclusive use and occupancy as a tribe, a tract of land not exceeding thirty miles square, in the Indian country; and that upon pay- ment therefor a patent should issue to the Potawatamie nation, The Secretary says:— “I am informed by the Commissioner of Indian Aflairs that all the Potawatamies have become citizens of the United States, It would therefore seem that there 1s now no Potawatamies nation in existence, nor any trive of said nation except what is called the Prairie Band, in the amendment to the second articie of February 27, 1867, and this band, by the express words of the ameudment, Lave no Interest in said reservation, The expectations of the contracting parties at the date of the treaty have not been realized. ‘The Potawatamies are now ail citizens, The nation 1s extinct, and no patent can be issued to the nation as such, ac. cording to the text and unequivocal meaning of the treaty of 1867. A tract of land thirty miles square in the Indian country has been surveyed, ana many of the Potawatamies, now citizens, have re- moved to it and are now residing thereon. It has not been paid for because it has never been con- veyed by patent as contemplated by the treaty. The Secretary is of the opinion that he has no power to cause this tract to be conveyed. He suggests such legislation as will secure to the Potawatamies a portion of the tract of 1and referred to equal to eighty acres for each indvidual, and as these Indians have become citizens, and hence possess the right of alienation, he suggests that legislation be so guarded as to secure them this land so long as they remain together as an organizea body and no longer; and that it be not accom. panied with any provision which will permit them, or any of them, to allenate their title, and that they may be permitted to hold the land in severalty or in common, as they may elect. The Globe Printing Job. There was another interesting and exciting scene inthe House to-day. Thistime it was the Glove printing job which raised the breeze. Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, moved a suspension of the rules to pass a bill providing for the payment by the Public Printer for the printing of the Glove for the Forty. second Congress, for which, though there has never been any contract, Messrs Rives & Bailey have run the risk of receiving pay. Mr. Beatty, of Onto, the Chairman of the Committee on Printing, zeal-, ously opposed this action on the part of Mr. Kelly contending that the matter should be referred to a committee, The scene between tnese two gentle- men at ope time assumed a threatening aspect, ana in vain the Speaker’s hammer thundered its commands for silence. Mr. Kelly presented the claims of Messrs, Rives & Bailey for printing the Globe during the present session. The sum asked for 19 at the rate charged heretofore; or it is so rep- reseutea by Mr, Kelly. Mr. Beatty contends it 1s an advance upon the old price, which, in a clear state- ment made to the House by that gentleman, he claimed was by far too large @ sum. He also said if he could not prove that the publishers had made a clear profit of $175,000 a year he would resign his seat and go home. He charged that every member. of tie House had been lopbied with for the passage of this bill, and proposed that these gentlemen be paid $150,000 on account and that the matter be examined and properly adjusted, But this proposition did not meet with the ap. proval of the iriends of tue Glove publishers, wuo Wish to secure this rich plam, knowing that Mr, Beatty’s figures and facts, over which he has taken an infinite amount of pains, would render the future Q@ppropriations for that purpose somewhat diminished, The Chairman of ws Committee on Printing and the few iriends who stood by hifm de- @erve credit (or at least attempting to gay this 9x. travagance and telling the country that, while Con- gress willingly votes such extravagant profits to have their speeches nicely printed and corrected, they make dolorous complaints over the “squandering” @ few thousands on widows’ pensions or soldiers? bounties, The previous question was ordered, but the minority, not willing to give up without a strug- gle, moved an adjournment, which was carried. ‘Two members of the firm, Mr. Rives and Mr. Bailey, Were on the floor, doing energetic lobby work— Rives with the democrats, by telling them that if it Was not carried 1t would be made a partcan affair | m the future, and the democrats would be ruled | out, while Bailey labored with the republican side, reciting how much the firm had done to assist the party, Tbe bill will probably be carried to-morrow, as the minority are too weak to successiully reward it any length of time, Oleaginous and Political Combinations. The House Committee on Commerce, to whom w erereferred the complaints against the South Im- provement Company, will hear a committee of oll | producers on the subject, who are expected from the oll district in Western Pennsylvania, {t 1s al- | leged that the South Improvement Company have made a combination with the New York Central, New York und Erie and Pennsylvania Central rail- road companies, for the term of five years, the ob- ject of which 18 to control all the transporiation | of oll, at advanced rates. The rates under this arrangement have already been advanced $1 50 per | barrel, which will amount to an increase of cost for transportation alone of over eight million dollars perannum, two-thirds of which 1s to go to the Im- | provement Company in the shape of érawbacks, and for which they render no equivalent. The | people of the oil region are intensely excited, and | they are holding meetings and organizing for sel{- protection. They have formed a secret political organization which they clatm will enroll over thirty thousand voters, and be strong enough to change the political complexion of the State, if necessary, to protect them irom the monopolists, The House Committee on Public Lands finally settled the question of title to the Beaver Lake lands in the State of Indiana, which has been 80 long in dispute, and adopted a report this morn- ing, which is being printed. The report will aitirm the righ of the United States to the lands and pro- vide for their sale at public auction to -the highest bidder, so as to give actual settlers an opportunity to bid in the property upon which they have made Settlement. If this report is adopted some sixteen thousand acres of valuable lands will revert to the government, The Appropriations for Public Buildings and Lands.

In the Senate to-morrow Senator Howe, of Wis- consin, will make @ motton that the Senate refuse to concur in the amendments adopted by the House to the Bayfleld and St. Croix Railroad Land Grant bill. He will be supported by Senator Carpenter. It is expected that this motion will be carried, and the bill will then be returned tothe House, Should the House refuse to recede from the amendments the bill will then be referred to a committee of confer- ence, and final disposition deferred until near the close of the session. Pinchback Politics at the White House.

William Frevert, of 334 Sixth street, was arrested last evening by one of the members of the Sanitary Police, charged with having killed his wife witha pistol bali at his home, It appears from the state. ment of the landlord of the tenement house, under which Frevert keeps @ grocery store, and other parties in the building, that Frevert has been given Lo drinking somewhat more than was good forhim lately, This habit has come upon hing recently through his having opened a lager beer saloon in Houston street and the associations it brought about the man, Yesterday afternoon he | had been drinking freely, and seeing a man who was employed by & baker next door shooting at rats Frevertasked him to lend him the pistol, This jour- neyman baker thinkxing he had used all the barrels of the revolver gave It to Frevert, who TOOK TIE WEAPON HOME with him, and placed it on the table while his wife was preparing supper, ‘!'wo of his four children took ; Up the pistol to play with, and &@ man named = Plador, who had gone home with Frevert from the lager beer satoon in Houston street, noucing the careless manner of the | little girls, cautioned the father, who chen took the Weapon to place i on Lae mantel piece out of harm's Way. At that moment Mrs, Frevert, who was in tae grocery store in the front pasement getting some things for the supper, Came ito the Kitchea, aud she had scarcely taken three steps into the room when the pistol went off, the bail lodging in her mouth, passing through the brain and killing ner instantly.

The desire to become wealthy and settle tus family in @ more easy position induced the man to take A LAGER BEER SALOON, and this, it seems, has led to the deplorable accidents that took place yesterday. The barkeeper in Hous- ton strect, Lout’ Miller, corroborates the story of Frevert borrowing the pistol trom the journeyman baker in every particular. He auded that Frevert was pretty’ drank when he left the s8& loon at hall-past two, but ne thought there was no intention in the man’s mind to harm his wife. Frevert had said to Miller on ing the Saloon that he would get Mrs, Frevert to cook some dinner for nim and send it over by Peter Latimer, WhO went with him tu Sixth street from the saioon, The pistol is a seven-barrelled imitation Smith & Weston. At the time of the shoote ing six barrels were discharged, and the men were under the impression that the pistol was harmless.
