maritime nations OF the world to an
uuders AIDING about the ocean cables.

ministers in England, France, Ger

size concessions shall be given to any
parrN; that no Government shall
have the right TO examine kilograms:
that the cables shall have all the
rights OF neutrality; that their de-
stfuction IN time OF war shall be
treated as piracy, and that persons en-
gagged in the work OF destruction shall
be tried in the courts Of the country
catching them. These points have
been embodied 10 the draft Of treaty
which our ministers are to try and ne-

HOAR's CASE.

The President, when informed of
the action of the Senate upon Mr..
HOar's case, stated that he would
leave it to that gentleman TO decide
whether he would let itgO to a vote or
be withdrawn. Senator Thayer was
at the White House, and the Presi-
dent asked him if he considered the
action on Mr.. HOar's case a a rejec-
ton? Mr.. Thayer replied that it
would not generally be so considered;
but in this case it should be considered
as fatal. The President replied that
he was sorry for the result, for Nh,
Hoar wa a good man for the place.
Mr.. Sumner said TO one of the South
ern Senators, who helped to defeat
HOar, "YOu have done a great wrong
TO your people, and you will find no
man who would have served you with
more ability and honesty"
The correspondent Of the New York
Herald SAYS: The Senators who Op-
posed ais continuation as Associate
Justice viii urge the President to re-
move him from the Cabinet. They
think he ought to have the decency
and ~self-respect to resign, inasmuch,

was intended as a rebuke to him.
Gov. Bullock and many senators are
pressing Judge Erskine, of Georgia,
Tor Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court.
The Washington correspondent of
the St. Louis Democrat says: The
death of Mr.. Stanton has led some
persons to think that now Attorney
General Hoar may be confirmed as
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. Their idea is to have some
southern man appointed to the va
cancy in that circuit, and let HOar
have one of the Northern circuits.
Talk with several Senators in oppOsi-
ton TO HOar leads to the conclusion
that this project will not work. The
feeling among politicians who haven't
been able to get such favors as they
wanted from him is very bitter, and
they declare he shall never be con-
frmed. Pennsylvania, moreover, will
present another man for Grier's va
cancy, probably Judge Strong, whom
they were going to put into the Cabi-
net if HOar went out.

claimants whose claims may be pre-

HOW CHRISTMAS WAS OBSERVED.
There has been a closer observance
of Christmas Day here than has been
known for many years. Public and
private business has been totally sus-
pended, and, owing to the damp,
driZzly weather, but few persons have
appeared in the streets. The Catholic,
Episcopal and Methodist churches
were open early in the day, but were
/ not very fully attended. In fact, the
| exodus of people for the holidays has
been so large that the city appears
more deserted than it did before Con
/ gress met. There were four arrivals
al the Arlington and ten at Wizards
to-day and tonight, which best illus
trates the number Of strangers In
town. The President remained at the
White House all day, and perempto-
rily refused to e any n but his
family and immediate relatives, who
made up the Presidential Christmas
dinner party.

VIRGINIA,

In the case of Virginia it is not de-
MED that all the conditions precedent
to the admission of the State have.
been complied with, and there is
hardly a pretense upon which to base
its continued exclusion from represen-
tation, except that the carpetbaggers
failed to secure the Legislature. The
administration is committed by its
positive recommendation on the sub
ject; and the fact that the ironclad
oath was not intended to be applied
was previously declared by the Presi-
dent in regard to both Georgia and
Virginia, by Mr.. Wilson of the Sen
ate and MeSsrs. Boutwell,, FarnsWOrth
and Paine, in the case of Louisiana;
and, lastly, by AttOrney-Gsneral
Ho2r, in the case Of Virginia. But
the bills introduced by Mr.. Sumner in
the Senate, and Mr.. Whittemore in
the House, indicate a sharp oppOsi-
ton to the admission of the State,
despite these declarations, as does also
the course pursued by Gen. Butler.
After committing himself to the Nir-
ginia legislative committee, and by a
bill introduced in the House and re-
lG4ANu ~ lHC OOAAA4AltNG Ou LNCCoA-
structiOn, favOring the admission Of
the State, he declined to report the
bill from the committee again, thus
postpOning the matter until after the
holidays. Having been so successful
in Illegally coercing Georgia, it re-
mains to be seen whether Butler will
not join with Sumner in playing a
similar game with the Old Dominion.

There is authority for the statement
that several Republican members Of
Congress have declared that they
would not have voted for the Georgia
bill had they then known and under
stood the facts in respect to Gov. Bull
lock, as presented in the letter of An
gler, the State Auditor, read at the
Clerks deskO the House. They speak
Of voting to repeal the law, but that
these declarations will be adhered to
is not probable. The alleged Outrapes
in Georgia are not verified bv evil
dence, and it is positively asserted
that there has not been a political
murder in Georgia since last spring.
when Buffers bill was before Con-
gress, and was then rejected under the
cOunsels and influence of Gen. Grant.
as mentioned by Butler some days
ago. As to the number of members
Of the Legislature disqualified under
the AlNth Amendment, il has never
been asserted by Bullock that over
i've persOnsawere thus incapacitated.
No proof has been filed to show that
any OF them We're disqualified. Had
such proof existed, Gov. Bullock
would doubtless have filed it. The
leading cOlOred member is the Rev.
H. NJ. Turner, who was appointed by
Grant to be Postmaster at Macon. Ga.
and was subsequently removed. Ii is
alleged that he has violated the laws
in regard TO the United States cur
rency. Many of the members of the
Legislature have resigned, and Geor-
gians assert that most if not all of the
Conservative members will resign, so
as to defeat a quorum. Accounts from
Georgia represent a highly excited
and indignant state Of public feeling.
The Hon. Joshua Hill, a Republican
and a friend of Gen. Grant, is said to
be specially incensed &C the course
pursued ia regard to this matter by
the Radical party in Congress.
The correspondent of the New York
Herald says; " 1t appears that Bull
lock, Thayer, Morton and Lawrence
a conference last night, and their
to-day was TO lay the plan fixed
upon before the President and secure
approval of it. Senator Morton
now began to unfold this plan, in

gentlemen present. Wien Georgia
