The Alabama Claims Treaty.

WASHINGTON, April 13-Was princi,
pally under discussion in the Senate to.
day, and Senator Sumner read a very
.ong speech against the ratification of
the same, from proof slips, showing that
the speech had been in type for some
time. 1t is due to say that although the
Senate was in secret session the remarks
were listened to with close attention,
and when vote was taken the treaty
was rejected by yeas "a, nays l, the SOL
itary nay being McCreery, of Kentucky
Summers argument against the treaty
was based on the following points:
l.. That the treaty substantially omits
the question of England's right to rec
ognize the Contederacy, right that did
not exist, and which she ought to admit
she could not claim. s.-ea- sl
2. That the treaty involves other
claims than the Alabama claims, and
prepares for an offset Of them by coun-
ter claims. --.---r...5.'.--.-. -
8, That England ought to, admit the
damages and propose treaty to es-
innate them by Claim Commission.

PHILADELPHIA, April 13.Mrs. Twit7
chell has furnished the press full state
ment regarding her mothers murder
1t is very long, covering several columns
of the papers, She disavows any knowl-
edge of how or by whom her mother
was murdered, but does not intimate
that it may have been done by her hus-
band. She explains at length the cause
of her ceasing,to visit her husband in
| jail. She says, that after his conviction,
as she was leaving his cell, he pressed
into her hand closely written paper,
which she found to be an appeal to her
to save his life by confessing that she
had committed the murder, followed by
the story she was to tell how she had
committed the deed in a quarrel with
her mother. That the lawyers had been
consulted, who said she could not be
harmed. On a subsequent visit he gave
her another paper, covering another
story. She was to tell that she had be-
come climinally intimate with one Leo,
who had, with her, concerted to rob and
murder Mrs. Hill.
On another occasion he. gave her an
other written appeal to save him, and
recommended her to say that Mrs. Hill
had not been murdered, but had fallen
from the window. All these documents
commence with appeals to her love, ct
cetera, to save him. They are in Twit-
chelrs handwriting. but have evidently
been drawn up by somelegal mind. "a
The publication throws but little light
on the subject beyond explaining the
conduct of Mrs. Twitchell q

THE PROPERTY HOLDERS
RING.
The Necessity for, and True
Duties of the Citizens Union.

The men who started the organization
of a Citizsnt' Union, with the RvoWed
purpoee Of bringing about = reform ln
the affairs of the city, came TO a sudden
halt, when the organic alton was placed
upon q general basis on which all the
tsx-psyers could stand. Why was this :
Was the first paper, which TRs drawn
with legal skill AID aeumen, intended as
a trap to draw the unwary into an or
Plantation TO subscribe money to pay
lawyers TO prevent the collection Oh tne
taxes from thoss who had not paid? W,
vas it an effort to prevent the city IRON
purchasing any property that Woulu
make 1t to free itself from the grasp i
a. the old man Of sea who has cean SO
long riding it to death II there was not
some h:dIen purpose, why was there
such q sudden secession OF thosei NnOm
We were informed were the largest prop
erty holders OF the city, when the par
ticuler paper drawn up by themselves
was not adopted?
Wecanuot understand it. That there
are abuses which need reform ali must
admit. We have heard it said that the
county paid thirty-fTe thou8and dollars
bonds and sgresd to pay $1,000 q year
more for the use of the G building put
IN for court rooms, and that there was
some corruption in the making OF the
contract.
II this is true, it was not only an ex-
tortionel contract, but Illegal and Vol1,
and the Citizens Union should lnvesti-
gate the matter, and IL necessary, iite q
bid in chancery to set aside the contract.
We have heard it said that the city was
grossly swindled in the Issuance and sale
OF the 81 coo, 600 OF bonds which were
made to relieve, but have increased the
burdens OF the city. =.
If this be true, the " Citizens Union y
should find it OUT aud If the present
holders Of the bonds are in any way con
nected with the supposed fraud, the
Court of Chsnoery should be called or
to relieve the City from their payment.
These, and many other matters nesC
investigation, and We hope viii De iuily
ventilated, and If cur largest property
holders VIII not assist, we hope thas tns
| workiDgmen, upon whom the buTden o
| taxstion always fsll most heavily, vii
| come forward and Guits for this purpose
We have no prejudice against large
property holders, but az q general tut
they are Of but little benefit to a eity
They buy up property In large tracts az
prevent the development OF the Guy ~
holding it st nigh figures, ana ~ tn'
same time grambis about paying take
on it, although their property is assessed
at 100 per cent. less than they will sell
for.
If the "Citizars' Union" will carr!
out in good faith the object professed Il
| its Constitution, we bid Il "God speed
