WASHINGTON.
The Work of the High Commissions
Assembling of the Senators.

WASHINGTON, May l0.-The publica
ton yesterday of an official abstract Of
the treaty has been followed by general
and earnest discussion of its provisions.
Several leading Senators have been fur
nished with printed copies, and have
been carefully studying up several arti-
cles, comparing them with the claims
made by each nation before the negotia-
tons began, and preparing material for
speeches which they intend to make on
it. The general sentiment is one of sat
isfaction with the work of the High Com
mission; and so little opposition to it
has been expressed, that it has been
predicted that the extraordinary
session of the Senate will not
continue more than ten days or
two weeks. 1t is not now expected that
there will be any opposition to sepa-
rate articles of the treaty, but that the
objections which may be made to it will
be on the ground that so long as the
questions pending between the two ma
tons are kept open we have the advan-
tage of England, and shall be in con-
dition not only to dictate our own terms
of settlement the first time she gets into
trouble with any other power, but also
by pursuing the policy toward her com
merce which she maintained toward
ours during our war to regain our ascen-
dency on the ocean. This view of the
subject, however, is of such a barba-
rous character that it is not believed
that it will have the least weight with
the Senate. Besides it is urged that the
United States would lose the support of
all civilized nations if we rejected
treaty admitted to be fair and equitable
on such grounds as these. Great inter-
est is felt in the probable action of Mr.
Sumner in regard to the treaty, but he
is remarkably non-committal in regard
to it. Though the ratification of the
treaty might by Mr.. Summers opposition
be delayed by prolonged debate, there is
thought to be no danger that it would in
any event defeat it, A general desire
has been expressed to-day that the treaty
at least, if not the discussion upon it, be
made public. This subject is reported
to have been the topic of conversation
in the Cabinet meeting to-day, but as
this will be a matter for the decision of
the Senate alone, no action could of
course be taken. There was, however,
no opposition to the publication of the
treaty; and the only objection that any
Senator is known TO have expressed is
that such official publication would make
a bad precedent. Though the Senate
will not be full to-day, large attendance
is expected, as beside many Senators
who spent their recess here, numerous
others arrived during yesterday, while
still others have announced by letter or
telegraph that they will be here this
morning.
The period for which the Claim Com
mission is to have to complete its labor
has been prolonged for one year. The
treaty Of prolongation has been signed
by Minister Nelson and the Mexican
Secretary Of State.

Some Of the Northern papers tell the
South, in reply to its appeals for emigra-
ton, that we needn't expect it till we
render life and property more secure.
There is more security in the South for
both, at this moment, than there is in
the Northern States. Most of our dis
orders are produced by men from the
section whose newspapers taunt us with
what is, in fact, the work of their own
people. The carpet-baggers come down
here and disturb society by their pestil-
ent influence, and then make the South
responsible for it. Of course they know
better, and all it is done for is to prevent
European immigration here. 1t will no
doubt have that effect for time. But
little by little, the truth will gain ground
in Europe, and then we shall have emf
grants enough As to Northern emf
grants, if they don't choose to come,
they can stay away. We saw enough Of
them in 1861, and think we can get on
better without them.-Lynch6ury { Fa.)

Fashion Notes.

Marquetry and gilt work in furniture
are out of fashion,
II is correct to have no two pieces o.
your parlor furniture alike.
French bodies of striped linen or per
Gale will be much worn this summer
Black and Havana brown are fashion
able colors for upholstering large rooms
Satin pipings are not in as good taste
as those OF gros-grain for the dress ma
terial.
Wall mirrors reaching from floor ia
ceiling, framed by great columns, have
replaced mantels. wLfLat .FN.
Z For large parlors massive furniture in
the French style of a century ago rs most
fashionable.
Black walnut, with panels Of French
walnut. and ebony mouldings, are enregtt
for bedroom sets. aa1
For wedding dresses now, white or
CANDY is preferable to tarletan; alpaca
for wrappers, and pongee for travelling
suits. t s.e n1
Bolsters are now made three-sized so
that the head rests on an inclined plain;
they are tutted like mattresses. Pillows
are large and square, with plain muslin
slips at night, but covered by day with
shams embroidered with monographs
A magnificent evening toilet of New
York design is of cherry colored silk,
trimmed with puffings of the same, and
with point lace hounces and tablier. The
corsage is low and thu sleeves short,
trimmed to match the skirt, and worn
over q lace chemise. White lilies with
green leaves are worn in the hair, and
necklace, bracelet and earrings are of
Moorish gold.
A novelty in window shades is of
French muslin, dressed in Using glass,
the center decorated with lace and en-
broidery. These admit light, yet shade
the rooms quite as well as holland
shades. Lace lambrequins, lined with
rose or blue, held by lace-covered cor
nices, and designed to match the lace
curtains below, are deservedly in favor.
White holland shades, furnished with
two white tassels, are much affected.
For bay windows, plain shades Of white
holland, fitted to the various apartments
next the pane, furnished with simple
lambrequin, are in good taste. Narrow
cornices of gilt ebony have superseded
plain gilt. se3aF
Small figures in light grounds prevail
in low priced ingram carpets. The de-
signs initiate those on Brussels carpets;
notified figures in maroon or in brown
shaded to orange, or rich and dark Per
sian patterns for diningrooms and base
ments, and white arounds with dark
scrolls or diamonds of gray and cherry.
The anti-moth carpet is laid beneath
Venetian carpets notified, with border,
are used for halls and stair cases Car
pets with many colors wear best. A
stylish novelty is tracery of gilt and
Egyptian red on black ground. Inlaid
floors are fashionable for dining-rooms,
halls, smoking-rooms, etc. in walnut
and oak these cost 81 so per square foot
With these, wooden paneling is used in
stead of wall paper.

time the whole upper portion Of the
building was in flames, which, spreading
rapidly, destroyed the entire block. Sew

efforts to get their property out of the
building. The building contained
four stores, great many law and in.
surance Offices, and the Second National
bank. 1t is impossible at present to de-
termine the loss, but it will probably
reach $50, 1000, on which there is said to
be an insurance Of $4,000. The block
is owned by several individuals, among
whom are Mr.. Fritchling and Jacob
Learmy.
