THE ALABAMA TREATY.

The language that -h~s-he~n used IN
this country against the Alabama treaty
with England points not to a different
form of treaty, but directly to war, and
on this question the Saturday ReUielU
Oondon) says:
Yet it is incredible that any serious
politician in the United States should
contemplate, after years of negotiation
ending in the concession Of almost every
American demand, an utterly unproVoked
resort to arms. 1t is, indeed, by latent
menaces that American diplomacy has
succeeded in alarming the timid portion
Of the English community, including,
perhaps, more than one statesman high
in office; but there is limit to the con-
cessions which might be preferable to a
rupture. 1.-THE treaty is not ratified, there
ought to be no hurry in recommending
negotiations After approaching to the
verge of humiliation in its anxiety for JUS
tice and Cancellation, the English Cows
eminent has thrown upon the United
States the responsibility Of deliberately
keeping the quarrel open. No great i'm
portance should be attached to the will
full retention of pretext for war. Grave
as the evil. of war would be, it would be
better for England to face it at once than
to submit to intolerable degradation A
war gratutiously commenced for the pur-
pose of avenging on England the recOg-
milton of beligerency which was stimuli
taneously accorded by France, and two
or three weeks later by every f uropean
power, including Russia, would be an
outrage revolving to the moral sense OF
mankind, and ultimately it would not go
unpunished

THEmovEmESrs OF MIR. JOHNSON

Mr.. Johnson was busIly occupied in
the executive office yesterday examin-
ing and signing the various bills presented
to him until the hour OF twelve O'Clock,
when his official labors were ended.
About twenty bills that had been pre-
scented were left unsigned, among them
the Supreme Court bill, which Mr..
johnson considered of too much impor-
lance to be decided without careful ex-
animation, for which there was not Suits
cient time.
At twelve O'Clock NJ. Mr.. johnson and
the members of his family remaining
here vacated the Executive Mansion, Mr..
and Mrs johnson becoming the guests OF
Mr.. John +. COyle, on Vermont aVenne,
and Judge Patterson and Mrs. Patter-
son becoming the guests of Secretary
Welles. During the afternoon, and up
to late hour last evening the ex-Presi
dent was occupied with numerous visit
ors, among them Admiral Farragut, and
committee of the Baltimore City COun-
Gil. The object of the latter was to as
certain when Mr.. johnson would visit
Baltimore 1t is understood that he will
leave here for Baltimore early next week
but the exact day has not yet been de-
termined. - National htelligencer

THE REAL CABINET.

There are great reasons for believing
that whoever may be in the cabinet of
Gen. Grant, they will not be his most in
tluential advisers. He will have an in
side and kitchen" cabinet, by whose ads
vice and direction he will, to a great ex-
tent, be governed. That cabinet is not
composed of the politicians. The General,
it is said, has horror of politicians. He
regards them all as corrupt, and is in
clIned TO generally taboo them. AS he
knows nothing of the Democrats, with
whom he has never acted, his opinions in
this respect have been based upon the ac~
quaintance he has been able to form with
the Republican leaders. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, by any means, that he
has come to this conclusion. The General
conccivcs that the truo parties 60 advise
with should be the men of business and
trade. He, therefore, is determined to rely
in matters of State upon the counsels of
successful railroad and express men, and
upon meachants who have achieved emf
nence in their avocations. With this
class he has held in the last few months
many long and important interviews, the
result of which will be apparent in the
course of his administration.
The regular kitchen cabinet Of the
new President is composed as follows:
l. Alexander IT, Stewart, merchant,
worth $50,00O,000.
.. George H. STUART, the Bible mis-
sionary, tract and sanitary commission
man, who can tell at a moments notice
the number Of Bibles we have forwarded
to Timbuctoo or Hindoostan, or the num-
Der Of packages Of various sorts which
were sent by the people through The
Sanitary Commission to the soldiers dur
ing the war.
3. Bishop Simpson, an eloquent AMI
sensational Bishop in the Methodist
Church, long notorious for the earnestness
of his prayers in behalf of all his good
Radical friends.
4. The Washburne family, down to
the last degree of cousinship. The Wash~
burnes claim to have made Gen. Grant,
and they now only ask in return that he
should make the fortunes Of the WASH
burnes.
5. ROb't Bonner, the editor Of the
New York Ledger, the owner Of the
horse Dexter" behind whom the Pres
ident has so often held the ribbons.
These personages, with a railroad
president and director here and there,
and an expressman or two, aud an occa>
sional bank president, make up the inside
ring which controls the new Executive.
Under this programme we aret o.be eman~
cipated faOm the tyranny OF the Radical
politicians.
P. S.-Since the above was written we
we have ascertained that two of the
aforementioned parties-A. Il. Stewart
and Washburne-go into the official cabs
met. This corroborates the facts that we
have stated in our remarks upon the
kitchen" cabinet Gin. Enc. March 6.

THE MISSOURI WOMEN ON THE
MISSOURI LEGISLATUKE.

A delegation Of strong minded women
recently bedraggled through the mud of
j efferson City TO plead for their cause in
Missouri. No sooner were they gone,
than the Legislature snubbed them by
decisive vote. The aggrieVed women
have published report of their expert
ence among the MissOurians, of which
the following is an extract: Some would
Immediately glance towards our feet, ex-
pecting, no doubt, to see the much dread
ed pants; others would scan US with a
puzzled look, as if doubling their own
eyes and ears at seeing a real specimen
of the genus homo Woman's rights,
before them, attired in crinoline, and pre-
senting a respectable appearance; but
they invariably seemed satisfied with our
personnel, and signed without hesitancE.
Two OF three specimens of chivalry, ar
rayed in tights and round about jackets,
manifested a supreme contempt for the
affair, and by sundry looks, repeated
shifts and uptuTning noses, endeayOred to
annihilate the reformeTS, or cause them
to retreat, but the strong minded had
possession, and were determined
on an open field and fair
fight. In the smoking-car the
cigars were Immediately thrown away,
and not resumed while we were there,
but by one of the chivalry, who smoked
desperately, to show his superiority The
country people, who constitute the bone
and sinew of our land, all seemed pleased,
listened attentively, and treated US pol
itely. Some Of their blunt remarks,
however, caused your petitioners not a
little meriment. One said Go in,
ladies hope you'll win , BY Joys,
madam, the Teller that runs again you
might as we'll hang up his harp; he'll
get licked sure : another very smiling
man, on the shady side of forty, said
AS bachelor, he was ready for any pro-
posal from the ladies, either as a cOnsti-
tutiOnal amendment or individual amend
ment;' another was sure it would be
delightful to go TO the polls with the
girls on their arms ; another, 'wOmen's
votes couldn't be bought by glass Of
whisky and so throughout the whole
train, with the exception of the superior
tiles, we met with attentive listeners and
pleasant, courteous remarks"

THELATEsT FAsHIONs.

March first was opening day." in
New York with the milIiners and nod
istes, and the various establishments are
thrOnged accordingly with fair ones in
pursuit OF new styles, etc. The bonnet
Of the coming season, it seems, is to be
smaller than the one now in vogue, With
little trimming at the sides, and no
strings. A new style Of round hat is called
the Rosaline. 1t is made Of fancy straw,
without brim, high in the centre, with
loop of green satin on one side, and
white lace, edged with green satin ribbon,
falling at the back. Prices take n wide
range, say all the way from $40 to S45
Small capers are to be the prevailing
style. Black silk sacques for street wear
are loosely fitting in the back, extending
a little below the bait; the front is a
trihe deeper, while it is narrow on the
shoulders and open under the arm, being
joined by the belt. The trimming is Of
satin folds and black lace edging.

A ISLANDER BY TELEGRAPH.

Among our Washington dispatches Of
Tuesday night the following item ap-
peared.
The President pardoned the Lamars,
convicted by military commission for
cotton frauds"
The parties referred to are near and
dear relatives to the editor of this Jour
nal, who is not willing that the item
above referred to shall be even teles
graphed to history. 1t is true that two
gentlemen, G.. b. Lamar, senior, and jul
Nor, were convicted by commission OF
bummer5 and sentenced to pay some
heavy fine, and to suffer some horrible
imprisonment, some two years since but
the sentence was never attempted to be ex
ecuted in any particular. A parcel of
Treasury thieves, assisted by the militia
nv then in Georgia. attempted to rob the
elder Mr.. Lamar Of twenty-five hundred
bales Of cotton. When he and his nep-
hew interfered to prevent the robbery
they were seized and tried by the thieves
themselves. In the meantime the cotton
was stolen. These are the facts. Mr..
johnson out ofabundant caution has set
aside the sentence of the commission, not
knowing but that Stanton or some other
creature might get into Grants Cabinet
for the purpose of wreaking his coward
ly vengeance ON Southern gentlemen. -

KU-RIUXOATH

We have before had occasion to notice
the fact that the present Judge Of tie
Criminal court Of this District has re-
fused several Attorneys the privilege of
practicing their profession in that Court,
unless they would take the ku-Klux
oath. We were somewhat at a loss to
understand the manner in which it was
done under the semblance Of legal pros
ceeding, but having learned recently, by
observation, how it is done, We are CONS
petent authority upon the subject and,
for instruction of inexperienced attor~
neys, will make it known. We do this
also for the reason that the Judge prides
himself greatly upon his construction Of
the Ku-Klux law, and is jealous Of the
notoriety it is giving him.
As soon as this law was passed, he or
dered the Clerk to strike the name of
every attorney from the Roll, to make a
new Roll, and to enter the names of no
attorney upon it unless he would take the
Ku-Klux oath. If then, my Attorney,
with spark of manliness and indepen-
dence in him, dares to think that the
Judge is wrong Of his construction Of the
law, and is trangressing the bounds of his
lawful authority, and wishes t. enter a
motion that he be permitted to practice
under the oath already taken by him,
that he may leave record of the same
made, and may get the question before
the Supreme Court in proper manner
to have it authoritarively decided by
Judges who have some sense and judg-
ment of law, this Boanerges refuses the
