The allusion was to Mr. Disraeli, who is mem

rad upheld the proceedings OF Gov. Ere against
the negroes OF jamaica under his proclamation OF
martial law. Mr.. Disraeli replied in the House OF
commons, insisting that the 1900 freehoders OF

The infallibility question in the Gcumeni-
cal Council is drawing to q close, and promises to
prove satisfactory oil around. Pious Catholics
will rejoice at the victory Of Pho Mono; and anti
Catholics will be equally delighted with the
schisms which will result from it, and which in
their opinion will be the be-, inning Of the end.
The most remo-a aple thing in the whole great
uahsac..u IS the indifference Of the masses Of
people everywhere, Catholics and nom Catholics.
Indeed, there is not bit Of excitement or agita-
ton about the matter anywhere. If the cable
were TO announce tomorrow that Pro Mono had
declared himself infabe, all mankind would
receive the news with equanmty; and were
the cable to report that His Holiness is not to be
infallible, the good-nature of the world would be
exactly the same. Thus, whichever way things
go at Rome, it will cause no great disturbance In
the busy outside world. The time was when an
official proclamation of infallibility would have
produced war and political earthquakes but tina,
| time is past.

The Rights of NaturaIIzed Citizens
Abroad.


On the 18th of April last, treaty was ne
gotiated at London between Mr.. MOTLEY.
the Ambassador of the United States, and
Earl CLARENDON, the British Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, by which Great Britain re-
linqushes forever the old British doctrine of
citizenship and recognizes fully the right of
any British subject to abandon allegiance 10
the British crown, and become full citizen
Of this republic.
This treaty is now before the Senate for
consideration and as it only declares prin-
ciple for which the United States have al
ways contended, and takes away all occasion
for future controversy, it will undoubtedly
be ratified. We trust, however, that its rat-
featon will not be made a pretext for the
abandonment by our Government of the
claims of naturalized citizens, based upon
violations of their rights which have already
been committed.
Take, for instance, the very case to which
the negotiation Of the proposed treaty is
owing. On the first day of June, 1867, JOHN
WARREN, an Irishman and 'Britie' s,,b.
ject by birth, who in 1856 was = o,,,.o,i,oa "a
citizen Oh the unT I'd States, landed in
iioiAnu' "AN -lnediately after landing was
a'ies' al and thrown into prison by the Brit
ish Government. After the lapse Of ten days
he was indicted and committed for trial for
constructive treason as q conspirator, for
cords spoken in Neb York, and for an Ore't
act committed in ireland By other pdrties
three months before his arripdi. He de
manded, as an alien. to be tried by jury
half Of American citizens and half Of British
subjects; but this demand was denied by the
Court, on the express ground that he wal
not an alien, but British subject, on tho
old principle that he who is once under the
allegiance of English soveregns remains SC
forever. BY the application of the SAINT
principle he was convicted of the offence FOL
which he was indicted, although 1t was al
mittcd that he had personally committed nc
overt act on British soil and he was sen
fenced to fifteen years penal servitude
portion of this sentence, with all its degra
dation and harlshps, he actually suffered
But finally, on the 4th OF March, 1869, he
was, with fifty other conycts, pardoncd, still
as British subject, and permitted to return
to this country, He has laid his claim fo
damages Lefo.e Congress- and his memoria
is now in the hands Of the Senate Committe,
ON Foreign Relations, Meanwhile, from til,
agitation of the question which his case la
accustomed, has sprung the treaty now be
fore the Senate so that he has, at al
events the satisfaction of knowing tina
by his agency Great Britain has been Drough
to formal admission OF the rights of nat
nIalized American citizens. which was no
extQrtod by the war of 1912, although tina
war was fought respecting that very que.

retired from the Office Of Street Commissioner,
we notice with great pleasure that he has de-
voted himself with distinguished success to the

miration Of some cabbages that had been raised

agreeable duty to record the fact that he has pro-
duced some Of the mobiles. strawberries upon

and honest man, CScINNArus, to give the right
direction TO our political affairs, the people can
