| YELLOW FEVER IN BUENos AYREs.-
This scoprage is making frightful ravages
in tHis'fairest of the Sorth 2hefidans re-
pubfcs. The telegraphic notes of its pro-
gress had not at all enabled us to realize
the shocking state of affairs which the
latest mail ,adyices disclose. When the
disease broke Out in the city of Buenous

The rainy season had just set in, subjec-

miserable description. Of those who re-
manned in the city, 700 were dying daily.

THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON,

aTn
The treaty just concluded at Washing
ton fills several columns of the Eastern
dailies, and would not be read even If
much abridged, by our readers. b, We have
examined it with such lcareI as We gould,
and present a brief digest of its chief fea-
lures. ...s,,.tn.,f n, yu ~. ros
1t is known officially as 1.-THE Treaty of
Washington" It takes up each ofFthe
grounds of complaint alleged. by Great
Britain and the United States,l and dis
poses of them definitely. ''"S%''""
The first in importance and order are
the Alabama Claims For the settlement
of all these cases1the. treaty, provides Q
board of arbitration to be com pesea4of
five persons. One to be chosen by Eng
land, one. by our Government t. and the
other three to be the King of Italy, the
Emperor of Brazil and the President of
the Swiss Confederation. These arbitra-
tors are to meet at Geneva, switzerland,
within a specified time, and determine
what claims are to be admitted, II neces-
sary board of assessors is to be appointed, !.
one to be chosen by England q one by the
United States and the others designated,
who shall sit in Washington and Assess
the amount of damages upon such ciafns
as the Board of .Arbitrators pronounce le-
gal and valid. tVtS.
The,next class of claims dealt WI TIN are
claims of citizens of Great Britain and the
United States for damages ineufrsdkhy
them during the war, or between, April,
1861 and April, 1865. To pass upon these
claims, a mixed commission, chosen one
by England and one by the United States,
with an umpire to be designated by the
Emperor of Germany if needed, ass to be
organized 3aii2sg - sl'i..a51Is L2ii7: TsH - ::
Upon the Fishery and Northern Boun-
Diary question, the treaty lis reasonable and
imbued with spirit of. liberality and fair
dealingtruly commendabIe. OJTk1 u i.
The international tribunals provided for
in this treaty are new features / in / the d.
plomacy of nations, and we hope will
hereafter always be called upenytoydecide
questions at issue between rival govern
ments before they draw the sword and
plunge the people into the innun,erable
horrors of war. .Toitsaasao9 oslo sis 81,
We do not care to venture an opinion
ON the treaty, for. as yet it has been but
imperfectly given to the public. The few
criticisms thus far made upon, il are cyl.
IDENTIFY upon points that will be provided
for in. the schedule. 1t is, said by some
that England does nothing more than adj
NIT that an error was committed in allow.

secured. That, with just arbitration of
those claims, viii avoid too,r, and that is

AS announced on Sunday morning, we
feel it best that the discussion on the
School question should for the present ter
inmate. We intended the reply of "Rns-
tious," published yesterday, should end the
controversy, but Another of Very Many
finding on second reading of Cosmopoli-
tan"that disposition was very much n1isun-
derstood, asks the privilege of "a reply,
which we give him this morning. "The
Other Side, "after notifying us on Saturday
that he was through, sent to, us, late yes
terday evening, an article which we could
not publish for want of space, and which,
though in reply to some facts stated by
"tRusticus," is yet calculated only to pro
tong the discussion on collateral points and
hence we can not see that anything is to
be gained by making it public. asi tnaG II.
We have fully presented all sides, given
our own views, and now leave the subject,
awaiting the action of the City Council,
which thus far has preserved d stiidied
and significant silence on the subject 2,1sai

THE st. Louis Times, some time ago,
charged Jim Fisk with, stealing $50, zoo.
Fisk grew indignant, called it a libel, and
brought suit for $50, 600 damages. The
Times has recently filed their defence.
They don't whine about the freedom OF
the Press " and attempt to break down the
plaintiff by ridicule and false allegatioEs,
but come square up and say: We did
charge Fisk with stealing and can sYsteia
our charge" Their plea ends as follows
That prior to said publication the plaintiff
was worthless, untruthful, unprincipled -and
knavish man, of no good name fame or credit
among those who knew him, and that he bore
the reputation among those who knew him OF
being dishonest untruthful, hypocritical and
knavish fellow"
That's the way newspapers not PAID tor
libeling good citizens defend such actions.
They act from high motives to begin with
and follow it up by defending, not by ap,
pealing to public sympathy, but by plead
ing justification! ,EEtsTua HIT

KG-Klux.

A party in disguise visited the
premiscs of Mr.. Albin Amcs on last
Friday night, and slightly whipped
a negro man named Daniel Austin.
This negro has the reputation OF
being one Of the best negroes in
the county, and it is universally
regretted that he received even
the few blows that he did. lie
saws that he is confident that four
OF the party were negroes, told
how he knew them to be such,
and his reasons are very conclu-
sive. We don't think any white
men had anything to do with it,
unless it was some loyal Lacquer.
That the whipping was done for
political effect, and to make the
negroes think that the white
people would make no distinction
between good and bad negroes
that they hOuld therefore look to
themselves and radical teachers
alone, agj that by whipping this
negro, whom everybody knew to
be a good one, would accomplish
their object and give iuel for hu-
kluE laws.-NeW Era.
