Commissioners under the Alabama
Treaty.
Information has been received here that
the British government has appointed
Mr.. Quincy, Recorder of the city of Lon
don, Commissioner on its part, under the
treaty of Washington. the President
has appointed as United States Commits
sioner, Judge Frazer, of Indiana. The
third Commissioner is to be appointed by
! the United States and Her Majesty con-
Jointly; but in case the third Commits
sloner shall not be so named within the
period of three months from the ex-
change of ratifistions of the treaty, he
shall be named by the Spanish minister
at Washington. 1t is thought here, how
ever, that no such contingency will
arise.
As Minister Roberts, under the treaty,
will designate the third commissioner
only in the event of q failure to do so by
the United States and Great Britain, the
recent telegram from Madrid stating he
had been authorized to exercise the func
tons of third commissioner is erroneous.
The commissioners under the treaty are
to meet at Washington at the earliest
snA hor haa
respectively named, to examine and de-
eide all such claims as shall be laid before
them on the part of the governments of
the United States and Great Britain.
1t has heretofore been stated that the
British government has appointed as its
agent or attorney under the treaty pro-
visions Henry Howard to present and
support claims on its behalf, and to an
swer claims made upon it, and to repre-
sent it generally in all matters connected
with the investigation and decision there
of. The United States government has
Just appointed on its part for similar purs
poses Hon. Robt. S. Hale, of New York.
None of the arbitrators to meet at &C.
neva have yet been named.
German Ideas.
A meeting of German citizens was held
last night for the purpose of forming
German-American Society, which shall,
in all essential particulars, agree with the
programme laid down by the Germans in
New York-the association not to be
formed simply for the purpose of pro-
noting their political interest and to pro-
tect the Germans throughout the country,
but TO diffuse German social character
tics and German intelligence.
Borrowed Capital not Taxed.
Commissioner Pleasanton has rendered
an opinion that the term capital employ
ed in the Revenue laws of 1864 and
| 1866 should not be construed to i'm
pose q tax upon borrowed capital of
bankers which may be used by them.
Assessors are therefore instructed to give
special attention to the assessment OF this
tax, and to assess the same hereafter upon
the basis of the capital owned by the
bankers and employed by them in the
banking business, subject to the exemp-
tons accorded in the statute.
Eau de Cologne.
The Commissioner has decided that i'm
ported perfumery may be sold in original
and unbroken packages, as entered at the
customhouse, without being stamped, but
when the original package is broken, aad
smaller packages taken therefrom, the
bottles contained in the smaller packages
must be stamped before they are sold or
offered for sale. In regard to stamping
a barrel or gallon bottle of cologne water
to retail from, the Commissioner says the
law does not authorize such practice.

fantry, and Lieut.. Kraszynosky, of the
