ARglO-American naturalization Treaty
The Alabama Claims in Process of Ad-
Observation-Disclosures johnson i'm Active
Negotiation.
By Atlantic Ou6Le.
LONDON, Oct 15.-The naturalization treaty
negotiations which are being conducted between
Minister Reverdy johnson on the part of the
American Government and Lord Stanley on the
part of Queen Victoria are progressing in a
very favorable manner.
The doctrine held by the United States with
respect to tho acquisition OF citizen domicile
and transfer of allegiance by foreigners previous
to and since the war of 1872 has been fully
maintained by Mr.. johnson in shaping tue he
naturalization bill, work which has been just
concluded.
Lord Stanley and Minister johnson are now
engaged in a consideration of the Alabama
claims question, which it is pretty certain will
be arranged soon, subject also of course to the
ratification of the legislative bodies, and ap-
proval of the governments of the two countries
Minister Burlingame, representing his Celes-
tial Majesty the Emperor of China, wins friends
personally and for his mission daily; and the
attacks made by portion of the London press
on the China-American treaty and the objects of
the embassy generally have ceased.
News despatches received In the city from all
parts of Europe, indeed, convey the pleasing
intelligence that the Burlingame embassy is
fully appreciated, and that its members will
receive o hearty, cordial welcome, not only at
the different courts, but from the nationalities.

It's Iudeneudence.


New YORK, Oct. 15.-The steamer Henry
Chauncey, from Aspinwall the 7th inst, brings
S26, $50 in treasure from California.
The Assembly of Panama had convened and
organized, delegating power to acting President
Correoso. Chiriqui had declined offers of peace,
and Correoso had proclaimed war against that
State in furious pronunciamento.
The gunboat Gettysburg had arrived at Aspin-
wall.
1t is generally thought that Baldwin who mur-
dered Parker at Aspin wall, would soon die.
Chiriqui had declared itself independent Of
Panama, land organized a new government, with
Senor Agneio as President. The Government
troops had been badly defeated under the late
Secretary of State, Urna, who was killed. The
Chiriquian commander, Olbadia, invites the
landing of Panama troops, as he is anxious to
whip them. There is nothing new from South

STORY FOR LEAP YEAR.

Mr.. Watts had, by industry and economy,
accumulated large property. He was q
man of rather superior mind and require
mcnts, but, unfortunately, became addicted
to intomperance. Naturally fond of COM
pany, and possessing superior conversational
powers, his company was much sought, and
he became eventually sot. His wife was
a feeble woman without much decision Of
character; but an only child was a reverse
illustration of those singular laws Of nature
that tho females oftenest take after their
father in character and personal peculiari.
ties and the males after the mother.
Mary was well aware Of the consequences
that would inevitably follow her fathers
course, and had used every exertion Of her
persuasion and reason in her power to in
duce him to alter his habits, but without
avail; his resolutions and promises could
not withstand temptation, and he pursued
his downward course, till the poor girl des-
paired Of reform, and previously realized
what the end must result in. r a. a. ..,.e

Lo! The PoorTax-Payers.

Do the poor taxpayers understand the
extent of stealing that is practiced upon
their little earnings under the name of
supporting the government" We note
that in the loyal State of Tennessee,
where that saint Brownlow, piously admin
listers the government, one district, which
raised $4,000, the Collector only paid over
$4,000 into the U. s. exchequer, pocketing
$4,000, Or SO per cent. as his share. In an
other fat district, which did better, II per
cent was taken out for collections. A third
instance shows 50, 500 to have been retained,
and IS, 800 paid to Uncle Sam for his share.
In California, collectors have pocketed
$500 to $4,000 per;year on gross receipts
Of $4,000 to $4,000, extracting SO per cent
for services. 1t is safe to say that it costs
25 per cent to collect the revenue Of the
country, when it ought to be done for 5 per
cent. What is the result? Instead of the
industry of the country keepingu up the in
terest on the debt and supporting the ad-
ministration through the terrible tax levied,
the vast sums thus raised go into the pock-
cts of the remorseless knaves, who are the
"loir' appointees to handle this money.
The Government Treasury gets but small
portion of it, and the great debt increases
in the meanwhile. Look at "the situation"
The expenses Of the administration, and
the interest on the war.debt, costs at least
$500, ,OOO, 900 per year. What are the re
sources? The internal revenue receipts the
present fiscal year are at the rate Of $780,
600 only; there have been collected since
July lst, 1867, $l35,0OO, 900, or at the rate
Of $l5, 900, 900 per month. five add the
supposed custom returns Of the country,
about $3.50, ,OOO, 900, We have, at the highest
possible figure, 5000, 900, per year, to
soy $500, 100000. Result-an 6 increase Of
the national debt Of at least SO, 100000
per year." The workingmen are robbed by
the officials who collect the taxes, and the
great debt swells bigger and bigger. The
remedy is in your hands, workingmen. Go
to the ballot box deposit your votes, sec
that they are counted Hyou are in ma
jority and desire honest rulers, as you value
your social and political freedom, put in

THREE YEARS OLD.-The Green bay wis
consin) Adrocate has the following account
Of an Indian woman who died on the 18th
ult, at tho ago Of one hundred and twenty
three years. That is to say, she was sup
posed to have reached this age, but the
Indian traditions concerning length Of years
are always vague. The Adrocate says:
Margaret Dkee-wah, or tho Sea, who
died February 18th, atthe residence Of Rev.
Mr.. Dacmes, Bay settlement, aged one hun
dred and twenty-three years, belonged to
the Ottawa Indians. She was married
three times by her first husband she had
one child, o son. now living at Menominee,
Michigan. He is ninety-seven years old,
but blind and unable to walk. by her Sec
ond husband she had two sons, who are dead,
and by her third, two sons. One is dead,
and the other lives at Red River. He is
eighty-two years old and attended his moth
er's funeral. In June. 1880. she became Q
Catholic, and was baptized and confirmed
by the Right Rev. Tenwich, then Bishop
Of Cincinnati, while on mission here, and
a year after she went alone in bark canoe
to Milwaukee, for the purpose Of receiving
her first communion, which sho received at
the house Of Solomon Juneau. Last sum-
mer tho children Of her 9Th generation
we're baptised at Menomiuee, Michigan.
