JIISCELLANEOUS NE IVS.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
They appear to be active in Jamaica in promot-
ing immigration from New Orleans. The Commer-
cial Association of Kingston is urging the Govern-
ment to sub,idise a stemn line between the island
and the Mississippi, and a proposition for complet-
ing the connection by a telegraphic cable has also
been brought before the Legislature.
The Senate will pass the House Bill to continue
the Freedmen's bureau for another year, but pro-
bably with an amendment by the Military Com-
mittee, empowering the Commissioner to sell, under
suitable restrictions, the school and other buildings
constructed for the refugees and freedmen, to the
corporate bodies of trustees who now use them,
for the purpose of education or the relief of want.
The House of Representatives met on the Bth inst.
only to receive a resolution requesting the President
to appoint a Special Mission to the hostile States of
South America, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and
Bolivia, for the purpose of settling their national
difficulties and restoring peace, and a bill providing
for a modification of the laws disfranchising de-
serters. Both were properly referred.
According to Messrs. Neill's report, dated New
York, the 18th instant, the week's receipts of cotton
at all ports amount to 35,000 bales, and since the
let of September to 2,025,000. The week's exports
to Great Britain are 33,000 bales, and since the Ist
of September 1,043,000. The week's exports to
France are 6,000 bales, and since the Ist of Sep-
tember 191,000. The week's exports to other
ports are 1,000 bales, and since the let of Septem-
ber 213,000. Total exports for the week, 40,000
bales ; since the Ist of September, 1,450,000. Stock
at all ports, 270,000 bales.
The steamers leaving New York for Europe on
the 18th took $1,000,000 in specie ; on the 21st
$250,000 in specie ; on the 22d a similar sum ; and
on the 23d one million. These large sums are the
drain to Europe to meet the interest due at the end
of this month on the United States Bon's.

On Monday, the 6th inst., besides the Connecti-
cut and Michigan elections, Cincinnati elected City
Officers, and Wicsonsin Judges of the Supreme
Court, choosing Dixon and Paine, the Republican
candidates, by a majority of between 3,000 and
4,000. On the 4th inst. municipal elections were
held at St. Louis, Missouri, and Louisville, Ken-
tucky, wherein the Democrats triumphed by a large
majority. At other municipal elections of Western
cities on Monday and Tuesday, the Republicans
carried Schnectady, New York; Cleveland, Dayton,
and Toledo, Ohio ; Indianapolis, Indiana ; Law-
rence, Kansas, and Madison, Wisconsin ; Peoria,
Illinois ; and St. Paul, Minnesota. The Democrats
carried Columbus and Sandusky, Ohio; Evans-
ville, Indiana ; Keokuk, lowa ; Atchison and
Leavenworth; Kansas, Milwaukee and La Crosse,
Wisconsin ; and Sedalia, Jefferson City, Kansas
City, and Carondolet, Mobile.
The Naturalization question is rapidly approach-
ing a solution. The diplomatic correspondence
relating to the Extradition Treaty with Prussia,
just ratified, has been laid before Congress. From
Mr. Bancroft's remarks the settlement with Eng-
land is virtually decided by that with Prussia.
Writing to Secretary Seward on the 20th January
last, he says—" Count Bistnark informs me that
the British Government has inquired of him as to
what answer the Prussian Government would make
to the American Government on the subject of na-
turalization. I❑ reply, he informed them of the in-
tention of his Government to come to an under-
standing with that of America, according to its re-
quiest. The remarks of Count Bismark implied that
the 131 itish Government is inclined to follow the ex-
ample of Prussia, and the settlement of the question
here will be virtually a settlement for Greatßritain."
On the 13th February Mr. Seward replied as fol-
lows I have informally suggested to the
British Minister here that a proceeding in the form
of mutual and common legislation in the two coun-
tries would be simple, and probably easier than
formal negotiations on thuilnaturalization laws ex-
isting between the United States and those of the
two Governments respectively, inasmuch as there
are so many other questions which urgently require

settlement between the United States and Great
Britain, besides that of the conflicting naturaliza-
tion laws." A telegram from Washington, dated
last Monday, informs us that on that day
the House of Representatives passed by 99
votes against .5 a bill introduced by Mr. Banks
relative to the naturalization of immigrants to the
United States. This bill enacts that any declara-
tion 9c decision of officers of the United States Go-
vernment which questions the right of expatriation
is null and void ; that all naturalized citizens of the
United States while in foreign countries shall be
entitled to the same protection as is now accorded to
native-born citizens ; and that when any citizen of
the United States is arrested by any foreign Go-
vernment, and his release delayed or refused upon
the allegation that naturalization does not dissolve
his allegiance to his native Sovereign, the Pre-
sident shall be empowered to order the arrest of
any subject of such foreign Government who may
be found within the jurisdiction of the IThited
States.

The organization known as the linklux Klan is
rising in the South into similar importance as that
of the Fenians in Ireland. We will soon see how it
will be met and suppressed in America. The ap-
pellation is puzzling American etymologists,
as the
word Fenian did those of England. Some assert
that it is derived from the Greek tapicos, a circle ;
others believe Klan to be a mere misspelling of
Clan, but the general impression is that the sound
was suggested by the click of the rifle when cocked.
The organization has its stronghold in Tennessee,
and is now rapidly extending through the Southern
States. Its arrival in Georgia was heralded to the
world by the Columbus Sun, which wrote in vague
and threatening terms, with big headings and pro-
fuse italics :-- " Woe to the degenerate." " Some-
thing terrible floats on the breeze, and in the dim
silences are heard solemn whispers, dire impreca-
tions against the false ones who have proved re-
creant to their faith and country." Nor had the '
degenerate long to wait; for on the 30th March
Colonel G. W. Ashburn was murdered at Columbus
by a band of thirty, disguised with masks and
various spectral devices. The house in which the
victim lodged was surrounded; the rear and front
doors broken open, and although Colonel Ashburn
had a pistol in his hand, so sudden was the assault
that he was killed before he coald use it. One
bullet struck him between the eyes, another below
the hip, and a third in the mouth, ten or twelve
shots being rapidly discharged. The gang left
without interruption. Most contradictory accounts
are given of Colonel Ashburn's character, but he
is known to have been an unflinching loyalist, and
one of the few who were originally so. 111
served in the Federal army during the War, and
left it with the rank of Colonel when he W'3s
elected member of the late Constitutional Con-
vention held at Atalanta, and was an uncompro-
mising supporter of Congressional measures. They
have been playing some practical jokes with politi-
cal leaders in Washington. Ben Wade received
paper warning him of assassination, which he threw
on the fire. Butler tore his up, but Col. Forney
is al!eged to have been greatly alarmed. General
Grant has given stringent orders to the militarY,
commanders for the suppression of this gang 01
assassins.

Mr: Wade's Cabinet continues to excite the
greatest interest throughout the country. It is con-
sidered settled that Mr. Sumner will become Seer&
tarp of State, that the " cold and classical Demos-
thenes" will succeed to the Senate, and that Mr.
Claflin will obtain Mr. Boutwell's post. It is thong"
that Mr. M'Culloch will remain Secretary of the
Treasury, though it is doubtful whether he can be,
induced to stay. It is also hinted that Secretary
Stanton will relieve Mr. Adams as Ambassador to
St. James's, and the Hon. B. F. Butler will take
Mr. Stanton's portfolio. Of course these little
arrangements hinge first and mainly on President
Johnson being deposed.
Wilkes' Spit it claims as one of its political vide'
des the proposed amendment to the Constitution,
presented by S3nator Sumner : —" Resolved, That
the following article be proposed to the Legislature°
of the several States as an amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, which, when ratified
by three-fourths of the Legislatures, shall be valid
as part of the Constitution, viz. :---‘ No pers°ll
elected President or Vice-President, who has once
served as President, shall afterwards be eligible to
either office.' " Mr. Wilkes, the editor la
chief, has been in Washington from 01
commencement of the Impeachment Trial, and
he Las made a special hobby of the 00°-
term principle, never ceasing to urge it as 5
boon to the Constitution, that will repay the
country for the treasons and mischiefs of Andreae
Johnson. The Spirit is in high glee at the result 01
its persistent efforts, and at this proof of the atten-
tion and respect it receives in the highest quarter's:

The schooner yacht Challenge, just built for Mr'
Pierre Lorillard, now on her way to the An-10:41
river, Brazil, can be backed against the English tea
fleet of clipper ships from Shanghae in China to the
Isle of Wight in the Channel. Here is an opening
for any party who will lay £lO,OOO sterling agail/ss
£2,000 on the result. We must confess that the
information given by the Spirit of the performance
of the Challenge is not such as to lead any enett
risk his money. It is stated that the schooner yacht'
sailing two points nearer the wind than a WAIT
rigged ship can lie, recently went 17i knots an bola
She is faster than the Vesta, and the Vesta WO° lc
have won the celebrated yacht race from New Ircr
to Cowes if her navigator had not made a bad land
;
fall. The Spirit, however, considers the above Peal
formance to be an exaggeration, not in the act%
speed attained, but in the statement that she
kept hard on the wind, which it denies.
