IT will be seen, by reference to our
Cable dispatches this morning, that
the Government has concluded a
treaty with the North German Con-
federation (the Prussian States),
which, upon certain conditions,
recognizes the principle of expatria-
ton, and releases natives of Ger
many from the obligation of military
service. This treaty does not go as
far as our German naturalized citi-
zens demand, but is a decided step in
the right direction.
