LONDON, Feb. 6.-The Government

The Times denounces the Alabama
treaty, and says it is incomprehensible
and without order, unless there was a
secret stipulation. The consideration Of
the question Of the recognition of the
Southern States as belIigerents was
plainly provided for in this treaty. Moth
ing was excluded. The defects Of the
treaty have grown out of and are owing
to the lame public fashion in which nego
tiations are conducted. The United
States Senate hesitates to ratify the pros
ject. England will not chafe. 1t is de-
sirable that the whole treaty be revised
and recast, as it is now practically over.
The claim may go to an umpire for final
decision. If this is settlement, the
Times asks for a new definition of the

thus presenting in the mutual pro-
gress of mind and holiness, the true
idea of Intellectual culture, the in
pensable prerequisites to true worth
and greatness. 1t is vain to repress
injudiciously the activities of our
nature. Each one of our faculties
has its appropriate field, Sand seeks
instinctiyely its development. Fur
thermOre the elements of goodness,

in every human spirit. Deep in the
hearts of the most erring and de-

action, which, when touched, have
power to renovate and purify the
moral being. Is it not the part of
wisdom to cultivate by judieious
management, these varied activities
of our nature, perfecting the good,
and REFRESHING the evil2 Should
not these germs of action be
touched and moulded in the path
of right? Where is there a better
instrument to accomplish this than
the Sabbath School with its three
fold capacity Threefold in this,
that its book Of instruction yields a

A COxFEDERATE "REMINISCENCES

The Augusta Chronicle and Senti-
mel, noticing the revelations of the Washs
ington correspondent of the New York
Times, touching the effort to supersede
Grant with Banks at Vicksburg, says;
The revelations recall an incident re-
lated to the writer by the late COnfed-
crate General, W. FL. T. Walker. About
the time of the second assault on Vicks-
burg, scout, attached, we believe, to
Writ Adams command, having duly re-
ported, paid an evening visit to some
army acquaintance. Seated in small
circle of subalterns around camp fire,
of course, he was the center of attrsc>
ton. Many incidents of adventures
were told, and items concerning the news
from the United States, and of
operations of the Yanks" were re-
lated. Among other things he stated
that a plan had been proposed for crea-
ting negro Instruction, with a stimuli
taneous cooperative movement Of the
Federal army, but that Gen Grant had
refused to join in carrying it out, saying
that he would march his army back I'M
til the negro fighting was over; that
that was not his mode of warfare that
this refusal had oecasioned great i'll
feeling toward the Federal commander ;
that his removal was looked for that
Gen, McClernand had come from Wash
ingtOn with an order in his pocket from
Lincoln to assume command, which he
had presented to Grant but that Grant
had thrown the order into the fire, and
told the General that his division would
move next morning at three O'Clock, and
advised him to go with it.
1t would be strange if subsequent his
torical developments should prove the
exactness and faithfulness of Confed

The Reconstruction Committee this
morning agreed to report bill removing
legal and political disabilities from be-
tween 900 and 400 persons IA the Southr
ern States, and Gov. Brown and Judge
Liner Il, of Mississippi, were heard be-
fore the committee in favor of restoring
the constitution TO the people of that
State. The question will be acted on
next "Wednesday.
In the Senate, during the discussion
on the repeal Of the tenure>of-ofice act,
Mr.. Morton said he was in favor of the
total repeal of the law. He believed it
was a mistake in the beginning, and did
not believe the public services ever had
been in any way benefited by it. but on
the contrary felt satisfied that the law
had been used 10 some extent to put
thieves IN oiice, and throw upon the
Senate the odium of keeping them He
liked the amendment proposed by the
committee so far as it allowed the Presi~
dent TO choose the members of his cabi-
net and thought the idea of ever depTiv-
ing the President Of that power was abb
surd but that part Of the amendment
which would allow the President to sus-
pend an officer during the session Of
Congress. without giving reasons such
suspension would make the bill worse
than the law it proposed to repeal
Mr. Howe did not think it wise to ex~
cent Cabinet officers from general proc
ySiens. He could not see any Lesaan
why 8 President should be all a
dismiss q Cabinet officer at b d
whSu-he would not also be at liberty to
dismiss an agent Of the Internal Revenue
Department, or any military or naval
officer. He could not agree with the Sens
utor from Indiana, Mr. Morton, as to the
effect of the tenure-in-Office bill, upon the
public service, and believed that an hon
est President could just as readily dis"
bose of q dishonest officer under it, as be
could before its enactment
Thayer hoped the Senator would press
the bill upon the attention Of the Senate
every dap until it should pass, and he
was IN favor Of passing it ID the form it
came from the House, uncOnditlonallJ
repeating the law.

THE CRYPT OF WASHIRGTON-A
CURIOUS REVELATION.

A very good Illustration ofthe extreme
vigilance which prevails in Congress
over public expenditures is reported
from Washington. Among the appror
priatisns asked for, the Committee found
one providing for paying the "Superin-
tendent Of the Crypt As nobody was
aware that there was such thing as a
"Crypf connected with the Government,
still less that it had or needed a Superin>
tendent, inquiry was made, and it was
found that the appropriation had been
regularly made for the last fifty years -
further Investigation showed that soon af-
ter Gen. Washington died, Congress pros
vided for the construction oft vault un-
der the Capitol, to be called the Crypt, in
which his remains were to be deposited
A light was to be kept burning near it,
and Superintendent was appointed to
watch it, as he has been doing daily for
the last fifty years! Meantime, Wash
ington's body was not deposited there,
and everybody, Congress included, forgot
that any such thing was in existence
The only memorial that exists to keep
the memory of the affair alive has been
the annual appropriation for the Superin-
tendent Twenty years after the close
of Napoleon's Russian campaign, a
French sentry was found ON duty at Ms
COW, his superior officer having forgotten
to relieve him from duty. The Circum-
| locution Office and Tite Barnaele, Esq
are not, itseems, confined either to Dick,
