WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 1870.
Arrival Of the Secretary OF the Buriin9ume
Mission with the Ratified Trcaty-Satisfac.
tfOu of Prince Kuug With the Stipufati0ns.
Mr.. J. McLeavy Brown, Secretary Of the BurlIn-
game Chinese mission, arrived here to-day, bearing
the ratified treaty made with our government. Mr..
Brown came here via California from China, aud
represents the Chinese government as entirely sat
isned with the conduct Of the Burlingame mission
thus far. Mr. Brown got 10 Pekin last
October and had . long interview with Prince
Kung the head Of the Chinese administration. Prince
Kung welcomed Mr. Rrown In the most cordial
manner, made inquiries regarding Mr.. Burlingame
and his associate Ministers, read over the American
treaty, and after weighing every article and para
graph In the most careful manner declared that 1t
met his entire satisfaction The proper ratif cation
was put to the treaty and Mr.. Brown was entrusted
with the duty Of bearing 1t to our government.
All the stories about unwillingness on the
part Of China to accede to the terms of
the treaty are pronounced by Mr.. Brown
to be entire fabrications. The delay in returning
with the ratified copy was caused by wish ex-
PRESSED by Mr. BurIingame to have the document
retained in China until the labors Of the mission
should be wound up. SO that then he might return
TO China and have the pleasure Of bringing 1t to
Washington himself. This plan was subsequently
changed. 1t appears that no formal treaties have
been made with England, France or the other
European Powers. Mr.. Burlingame has simply made
agreements with those Powers, settling In salts.
factory manner the claim TO intercourse in the
internal affairs OF China. All those Powers give
up their extraordinary claims in that regard and to
have accomplished that much may well be regarded
as triumph for Chinese diplomacy. Treaties with
European governments Of exactly the same
tina wi
be expected. The conditions are different We
have here q state Of affairs that has
no parallel In Europe. The Chinese are settlers
here and claim legal lights, which are guaranteed
In the treaty. but nothing Of that kind Is required OF
EUROPE Mr. Brown did not see Secretary Fish to-
day, but left the treaty with Mr.. ]. G. Bancroft
Davis. Mr.. Brown will have an interview tomorrow
with the President and MIR. Fish,
The Nomination Of Judge Honr Rejected.
In the executive session Of the Senate to-day
the nomination OF Attorney General Hoar, which
had lain upon the table some time, was
taken up by unanimous consent and with
the understanding that direct vote should
be taken on 1t. Hoar's friends have fore
seen for some time that nothing was 10
be gained by delay and they deemed 1t more pru-
dent TO have action. Hoar. 1t appears, thought a
reaction had set in in his favor. and that he had
gained votes which before were against him.
The result to-day shows that he was mis-
taken. As Fisk would say, Hoar hath gone
where the woodDine twineth. He was re-
jected by ten majority in q very thin Senate.
What he win do Is not known, but the republican
Senators say If he has any self respect he VIII resign
his position In the Cabinet. The vote to-day was
intended as rebuke to nim and as an evidence OF
want OF confidence in him on the part OF the domi-
nant party.
An Unfortunate Nomination.
On Monday last tho Judiciary Committee OF the
Senate reported back the nomination or Judge
Pearre for the Judgeshp OF the Fourth United States
judicial Circuit. The committee state that there IS
nothing againU Judge Pearre. but they recommend
that the nomination be allowed to lay on the table
until the question OF reorganization Of the judicial
circuits Is disposed OF.

Another Rebuff of Senator SHmner--Scnntor
Carpenters Opinion of Summers Legal
Attachments.
The castigaton which Mr. Sumner is In the habit
Of receiving rrom his repu ublican colleagues OF late
are becoming rather frequent than he cares to
have them. He has scarcely recovered from the
unkind cuts he received from Senator TrumDull
when the Virginia bill was up when he is taken In
hand by Senator Carpenter and handled rather
roughly. Carpenter TOOK Sumner to task to-day
for his speech against tile Cubans, delivered just
before the holiday recess. The bill under consdera
sion that called up yesterday by Senator Howe 10
repeal certain parts OF the neutrality laws. Carpen

surcd Sumner for his want OF sympathy with free
dom and on oppressed people. He ridiculed the
pretenslons OF the Massachusetts, Senator as an In
terpretar Of international law, and said that boy
Just beginning to read law would not be guilty or
such blunders as Sumner.
Another Plan for Depicting the Treasury
The Additional Bounty Bill.
Where were the watch dogs OF the Treasury In the
House to-day Where were Dawes and Washburn
when Cobb's little three to i've million Bounty bill
was reported from the Military Committee and
passed without apparently anybody but Butler
noticing what was going onS The bill is amen
datory Of the additional Bounty act OF 1857, and
practically provides for bounty OF 500 TO every
body who enlisted in the United States military SER
vice as volunteer during the late rebellion, Without
regard to his teri OF service, whether for an hour,
4 day, a month 1r year or more. The bill Is i'm
mensely sweeping in its terms, and is intended,
no doubt, to make political capital for Co0b ana
his colleagues on the Military Committee ANY
bounty bill ia calculated to be popular with the as
banded soldiers Of the country. and especially such
one as this, which taxes from the Treasury sum
ranging somewhere between sa,ooo.ooo ana
