To the Editor Of the Press: rqei.-.fs ,. g..
do not usually read the addresses for the
New Year which the carriers leave at my
house. Generally they will not repay perusal.
But glancing on your Carriers Address,
I was tempted not only to read but
to re.read it. In doing SO my mind was
carried back to old times. The pictures
it gave us of the past were to me tru-
ly interesting, particularly that of "Ma'am
Guiles ancient hostelry" the whole affair had
such an enduring flavor to it that it seemed a
pity it should receive the fate awarded these
addresses-via hasty burial amidst the rub
bish of the waste basket. MACHIGoNNE.

SECRETARY SEWARD was before the foreign
committees of Congress, Tuesday, and gave
his views at length on matters pending be-
tween this country and foreign nations. He
thought it the duty of the United States to
make an authoritative declaration of its views
as to the rights of naturalized citizens. The
Alabama claims, in his opinion, will soon be
satisfactorily settled. He has full confidence
that the House will make an appropriation for
the Alaska payment when the time comes
without special urging. Negotiations for the
purchase of st. Thomas were commenced in
Mr. Lincoln's time, and the Secretary is pre-.
pared to submit with good grace to whatever
disposition of the matter Congress may see fit
to make. He referred pleasantly to the fact
that earthquakes and hurricanes had been I'M
usually frequent in st. Thomas since he con
cluded the treaty with Denmark. The vote O
the people of the island on the question of an
nexation will take place to-day, is not prevent
ed by some natural commissions, as on the day
previously appointed. The government o.
San Domingo has submitted no proposition fol
the sale of the bay of SANTANA.
