Unit it Rome as Its Capit ‘ore Meeting of Italians to Decide as to the Kind of Celebration. The sons of Italy residing in New York gathered in the spacious hall of the Hotel di Roma, No. 35 East Houston street, last night, in answer to the call of their leading countrymen. of the “Garden of Europe" had its representative in the enthusiastic throng. The purpose of the meeting was to decide whether the anniversary of crowning the unity of Italy by having Rome its capital should be celebrated by a pageant or picnic. Setior Finelli, the venerable exile of 1836, presided, and delivered an eloquent address on the present state of Italy. The tenor of his remarks was that the way Rome ruled his country it could not prosper, as the children were brought up to respect the priests more than their parents. Every means were em- ployed to crush the spirit of liberty, so naturally gifted in Italia’s sons. Even with enemies to the right of her, enemies to the left of her, enemies all round her—the greatest in the centre of her—she never despaired; but ral- lied her sons again and again, until she accomplished the dream of his boyhood, the aspiration of his manhood—“I mean the taking or Rome and making it the capital of Italy—(re- peated bravos)—which three years ago was con- sidered a third class Power; but now is ranked among the first class Powers of the th. It is honor to Italy that one of her sons was selected as the President of the Geneva Arbitra- tion.” “And now,”’ continued the octogenarian, “in the evening of my life it is with the utmost joy that I partictpate at a meeting, the object of which ts to celebrate, ‘Rome, the capital of united Italy.’ (Bravos.) Officers were then appointed, and Sefior Bregug- lio was called upon. le arose and said :— CompaTriots—We have assembled here for the purpose of deciding whether we should celebrate the crowning of Italian unity by a pageant or a pic- nic. Last year, as you all know, we celebrated the event by marching throngh the streets of this city and in the afternoon by a picnic, thus showing to the people of this great country that we honored the deeds of our countrymen, who went forth, girded on their bucklers and grasped their swords in their country’s cause for union, freedom and the full acquisition of her legitimate and inherited greatness. In the full enjoyment, then, of Italy’s fair conquest, let us discard every notion of showing how we love our country’s greatness by marching again through the streets, but let us gather ou that day in some suitable place toenjoy ourselves, Let every Italian, man, woman and child ia this city come to the green tlelds, where only they can enjoy themselves; and in the « evening those who wish gather around their festive boards, and amidst the utmost conviviality they can recall the deeds of our Garibaldi, the teachings of our Mazzini, and echo amidst repeated bravos— “L'Italia Unita; Roma. Capitali!”” Several speakers addressed dorsing the views of the preceding speaker. was, however, decided to appoint an executive committee of eighteen to decide upon the way the day should be celebrated. from an interview with the members of the com- mittee it was ascertained that they, were unant- mously in favor of a picnic or excursion, but ce tainly no procession.

The Treaty of Washington. The records, &c., of the American and British Commission, organized under the Treaty of Washing- ton, will be removed to Newport, R. I., early in Sep- tember, 80 as to be ready for the session of the Com- mission on the eleventh of that month. The time for filing claims terminated on the 26th of June. The number of British cases is 478, and, as here- tofore stated, the number of American cases is only nineteen. All of the memorials will be printed by the middle of August. Some of them make from four hun- dred to five hundred printed pages each. The proofs and testimony remain to be gathered and printed. Though the aggregate amount claimed is large, it does not follow that allowances will be mhde ac- cordingly; for, of the seventeen cases thus far de- finitively decided, awards in only three of them have been made, the others having been disallowed and one dismissed, Grave Differences Between the American and Mexican Commiasioners—Failure of the Negotiations. Since the advent of the new Mexican Commis- sioner in the Joint Commission of the United States and Mexico grave differences have arisen between him and his American colleague, constituting to- gether the board relatiye to the present status and future disposition of a large class of claims against the United States. The following ts a succinct statement of these differences:—The Mexican gov- | SHAMORE laid Lefore phe fe ission 366 individual glaims afalnat the’ Waite States for pbout $2,000,008, and known asthe “Indiaif deptedation cases.’ These cases were argued by both goveril: ments before the Board of Commissioners, and submitted for their award. The Commissioners dif- fered, and on the 8th of May last, by an order on their records, referred their disagreement to the Every city | umpire for his decision, directing the Mexican Secretary to deliver to him the papers. In the meantime the Mexican government appointed a new commissioner, vice the old one resigued. He took his seat June 24 last, and finding the Mexi- | can Secretary had not yet executed the order of | reference to the umpire, he volunteered to his col- league to examine the cases, to see if he could not agree with him in opinions, and thus save the necessity of executing the order of reference to the umpire. But the new Mexican Commissioner reached the conclusion that neither the Board of Commissioners nor their umpire had any authority to decide for or against the claims, but that they should be suspended and the two governments aa- vised that they could only be settied by a new treaty, and that till they were thus settled they should be held up and kept intact, at the same time announcing his firm resolution to take that course with them. His colleague, the American Commissioner, not being able to agree with any part of bis views, required the execution of the order of May 8 and the delivery of the cases:to the umpire. The Mexican Commissioner explicitly re- fused to allow it to be done. His colleague then proposed to refer their difference as to his right to rescind the order of the Board for any reason, and to suspend the cases to the umpire. He rejected this, Finally the American Commissioner announced that he would treat this overthrow of the authority of the Board and of the umpire and this suspension of the cases as @ forced interruption of the labors of the Commission until the two friendly govern- ments should remove the difficulty, and at once refer the questions raised to the two governments. The Convention requires every case laid before the Commission to ve decided by the Ist of February next, and unless this ts done nothing is done, The suspension of 366 ca: with no right to decide them, is therefore complete over- throw of the Convention, and breaks the treaty, unless the two governments provide a remedy. So the American Commissioners viewed the matter. Pending the solution of the diMficuity through dipiomatic channels the sessions of the | Board are suspended, The Japa: Ambassadors. It is known the Japanese Embassy are satisfied with the results of their late mission to Washing- ton. They were not empowered to concinde a | treaty with the United States, but to prepare the way for one of commerce, friendship and naviga- tion. Each government now understands the posi- tion of the other, and is in possession of a copy of the draft of the treaty, which is said to confer many advantages on the United States. Noth- ing, however, will be conciuded until the embassy shall have visited Europe and returned to their own cofintry, by which programme it would seem that the Japanese are engaged in per- fecting a series of treaties with the principal Powers of that section of the world, os well as with the United States, and design to consummate | them ail aboat the same time, so that they may be in harmonious action. The Cherokee Land Frauds. The official stenographer who accompanied the | Sub-Committee on Indian Affairs of the House of | Representatives in its recent trip to the Indian Territory, has returned to this city after an absence of five weeks.

A large mass of very important testimony has been taken, disclosing immense and almost incredible frauds upon the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws and Chicka- saws through means of corrupt bargains made by Indian delegates with Washington tobbyists and claim agents, the contingent fees in some instances aggregating millions of dollars, in which the dele- gates had large pecuniary interests. The commit- tee is said to be very indignant against the persons involved in these robberies of the ignorant Indians, and the cancellation and annulment of all such existing contracts will be recommended and in- sisted upon, The President Invited South. Governor Sam Bard, of Chattanooga, arrived here to-day, and left for Long Branch to-night, to for- mally lay before President Grant the invitation of the Mayor and City Council and the Board of Trade of Chattanooga to visit that city and Look- out Mountain during the present summer.

The recall was made at his own request, Restrictions on Canadian Steamers. The Secretary of the Treasury has directed col- lectors to seize and forfeit Canadian tugs when they tow vessels from Canadian into American waters and do not report at a custom house for the purpose of entering and leaving and paying ton- nage dues, The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that Canadian steamers cannot carry excursion parties, to Canadian ports and afterwards bring them back into American waters without first repgrtiv. ata custom houge, American steamera at *.ojected to numerous restrigtions in the yay tof tdspeotion of boilers, Neshses to captaid® ‘engineers and pilots QRLit 18 considered POTair to allow vessels of other nations not subject to such restrictions to compete with them.

If it is desired to use the salt in curing fish in any other district than that in which it is warehoused in bond it must be shipped in bond under the usual trans- portation entry. Salt brought back from a fishing voyage, either to the port of withdrawal or to any other port, shall be entered for re-warehousing, and if designed to be used in curing fish on shore the same proceedings will be had as authorized by the regulations, The Treasury Balances.
