WASHINGTON CITY:
.-..................Nay 3. Is7I.
The IReafY-

An effort will be made, IL IL understood, to
have the Senate sit with open doors for the dis
oussion OF the new treaty with England This
move may be made in opposition to the treaty.
but we are inclined to think that its friends
may tnd u advantageous TO have it consider ed
In open session. Ii Is conceded that the most
vulnerable point of attack upon the treaty will
be In its admission las slleged) OF English
Claims for losses in connection with our civil
war. Already a good deal OF prejudce has
been raised against the treaty by the assertion
that the cl1ims thus let in will amount TO
an immense sum OF morey, brinIing thi.
country greatly in debt to England after the
Alabama claims are duly allowed in our favor.
Now, 1t IL particularly trying to the Yankee
mind to be the loser in a bargain of this kind;
and as we started out in this case with a his
grievance against John EulI, IL Will uevsr ID
10 present form of treaty for adoption thai
places us on the debit side of the
balance sheet on these very claims. No
ooubt II can be shown quite conclusiveI
mat this Is false alarm, and that the British
war Claims against Us are comparatively trifiinv
ID amount. The only way, however to demou-
strate this satisfactorily Is to publish the treaty
anu nave an open debate on its provisions.
Other"ise all sorts Of exaggerated and preiu-
delal reports will get out concerning its proyi-
siohs ahd bearings, poisoning the public mind
pretty eHectuslly sgainst what NAV really be a
lar and advantageous settlement of our diff.
cuites with Great Britain.

A SUGGESTION FOR THE CAPITAL MOVIES.
The Philadelphia Haquir,r thinks the decision
If the Capital movers not to hold another con-
ventisn until "the apportionmento Of representa-
ton under the census shall have given to the
central and western portions OF the Union that
just weight in national legislation to which their
population entities them" ia sensible, but does
not go far enough. The removers should
decide to wait until the census returns show
that the bulk ofthe nations wealth and populs-
ton Is on the Mississippi and beyond. This
time viii come in the course Of few genera
tons; to make sure, let us say ten, and the con-
ventiOn 70 establish capital in q more central
portion of the Republic should be called to meet
A ID. 200. About that time, (as the almanacs
sayl the central and western portions of the
Union viii have that just weight" &c, &c.

The world still moves. The CITY authorities
or asbiDgton have resolved that the blrbarity
long ago prohibited in tire discipline of the
navy, and which has fallen out OF use i'm the
trestmsn Mt Of even the most Iuffianlv criminals
everywhere, shall no longer be inflicted upon
helpless children In the schools of that city
Chicago Republican.
Our city authorities have not yet earned the
compliment here bestowed. The Board of AL
dermen, it is true, passed the resolution with
but one dissenting voice, but the lower board
dcdged the question, postponing it five weeks,
or until after the expiration OF their term of
Office Yet"the world moves" and Jogging in
the public schools Will soon be abolished, Just

MzstiOn IN the navy, and the Jail yard.

TEE wAED-SBADRR HoMIcrpR.-Advices
from TowaBds state that the grand Jury on
Wednesday found true bill for murder in the
first degree against Henry Ward. formerly edi-
to- o: the Express in this city,l charged with the
killing or Wesley Z. Shader some two or three
months ago. Another dispatch states that the
trial will not take place until the September
term OF court, and that the accused has been
admitted to bail meantime in the sum of $40 900
The latter part OF the statement may be cor
rect, but taking bail is TO say the least unusual
in the face of an indictment for murI in the
FIRST degree.

Mr. George L. Downing, the ex-caterer in
the basement Of the C,pitol here, is out in a
letter comp'aiD'uy ''that if is painfully evident
that there is a lack OF due respect for colored
men on the psrS OF the republican party" MIR
Downing probably speaks for himself; aud it
does not seem to have occurred 10 him that
there may be very wide d.fererce even be
tween colored men. Some are much more
worthy of "due respect" than others-of the
latter OF whom Dir. ID. may be classed a,
which. Downing talks too much with his
mouth. and pushes his nose TO far forward.
