RIGUTs o. CIT,gENSTUr.-A recent law passed in
Peru, says the Panama STIR, %confers ON all foreign
ers. who have resided in the country for upwards
of five years, the right of voting for the election OF
President Of the republic and members of Con
greSS and we understand that several British resi-
dents in Arequipa consulted Lord Stanley a to
whether. if they took advantage of this law and
voted, they. in any way forfeited their rights a.
British subjects entitled TO the protection Of the
British government, in any question with the Peru
Wan government. In answer. Mr. hammond ba-
addressed a dispatch to Her Majesty's Consul in
I~Iay to the following effect:
" After consulting the Law Officers Of the Crown
upon the matter. His Lordship l. of opinion that
by claiming and exercising the right of voting for
the election of President OF the Republic and Mem
berS of Congress. British subjects would. To 4 very
great extent, incorporate themselves in the Peru
Wan nation. and would render ii extremely diff
cult. perhaps impossible. for Her Majesty's Gov
eminent to render them official protection in any
matter which might arise between themselves and
the government OF Peru. II. therefore, they choose
To take this step, II must he with a clear under

This new Peruvian law appears designed to give
certain rights of citizenship on aliens. without their
taking the oath of allegiance, and the decision of
the British Government is that such aliens practic-
ally become citizens. by accepting the privilege of
voting, This is directly in opposition to the old
maxim once an Englishman. always an English

ANOTHER VETERAN PILOT DECEAsED.-A line
from Mr.. Conway. dated Kawaihae. Hawaii, informs
us of the death at that place on the 10th inst. of
CHRISTOPHER BEAKEY. or as he was more generally
called, old Kit the Pilot" His complaint was
bronchitis. Kit was a native of WOrkington, in
the county of Cumberland. north of England, and
was about sixty years of age. He had resided in
Hilo some rs or 30 years, and had acted as Pilot
of that port for a number of years.

COMING To THE SCRATCH.-The authorities appear
TO be at last waking up to the very patent fact that
some public houses. otherwise known as tippling-
shops. have been in the constant habit of breaking
the law. by selling intoxicating drinks to native
born subjects Of the kingdom. Four different So
called hotels, have been pulled up" recently; two
of them fined by way of a warning-so the prose
cutting officer said-in the sum Of fifty dollars each.
and the other two were remanded for sentence to-
day. Qucry-do the government mean really to
stop this n]efarious traffic of liquor to natives. or is
it only a periodic spasmodic effort to raise funds?

CoUP D. RTAT IMPENDING.-The Arpus
was caught few days ago by the absurd story
that Mr.. Ashley, Gen. Butler and Thad. Stev-
ems had been conspiring together to impeach
General Grant, and that Mr.. Ashley's resolu-
ton of inquiry included Gen. Grant under the
generalization "other officers of the govern
ment." As Congress has no more authority
to impeach Gen. Grant than to impeach the
editor of the Argus, this was sufficiently rdic-
ulous. The story was put upon its travels by
sensational Washington correspondent of a
Western paper. The same correspondent in

THE WASHINGTON CoNTRIBUTIoNs.-W We
print on another page the report of the Exec
utive Committee of the citizens of Wash
ingtoh, charged with the duty Of collecting
funds for the relief of the sufferers by the
Portland fire. These contributions were es-
pecially noticeable because the givers were
not much influenced by personal or business
considerations but rather by the purest and
most humane motives of sympathy with sor-
rowing and suffering fellow beings, and de-
slres to alleviate their troubles. The expenses
OF the Committee, which must have formed a
very considerable item, were borne by the in
dividual members, every dollar given for the
sufferers having been receivediby the autholi-
