Detail of the German Custom Treaty.
PARIS, Oct. 14.-The Bien, Public min
isterial organ, announces that Bismark, and
POnyer Quertier yesterday signed the
Customs Treaty between France and Ger
many. The financial portion of the COM
mittee was definitely concluded by the sig
natures of the two ministers. That part
of it which relates to the regulation of Gus
tom duties must be submitted to German
Reichrath for its ratification. With the con-
Clusion of the treaty Bismark agrees to re-
lease the bankers who were guaranteers of
the payment of the indemnity and accepts
as sufficient the official guarantee Thiers
and POnyer Quertier.
The financial portion of the treaty pro-
vides that the balance of indemnity money
remaining due by France, shall be paid in
specie bills to the amount of eighty million
francs, every fortnight, until the entire bal
ance is liquidated, such payment to COM
mence on the 18th of January next.
1t is further stipulated that the six de
partments of France now occupied by the
German troops shall be evacuated immedi-
ately. Thirty thousand German troops are
to remain in France pending the liquidation
money, but it is agreed that if the terms of
the convention are carried out, that num-
Der viii be materially reduced at the end
of six months from the signing of the
treaty.
Serious AIgerine Outbreak.
Advices from Algeria state that the ma
tives in the Northern part of the province
of Constantine have risen against the
French, and were in open hostility. Troops
had been despatched to the locality Of the
trouble, but their number was not sufficient
to quell the insurrection. 1t is probable
that this new outbreak will demand the
despatching of additional troops from France
to the colony.

A FAMILY INCIDHNE.

FfOth Nit Ohuiicotit tuustllutlOn-
A gentleman who went 20 California from
Daviess county, Mo-, twenty years ago, re-
turned recently TO visit a married daughter.
He went to her residence, and giving a
ficticiOuS name, he began asking his daugh-
ter questions about her parents, md as TO
the probability Of her knowing her father
so long a separation. "KnOw him?n she
replied, ''why, Id know him as far of as
could see him. She then proceeded to
describe him as he appeared twenty years
ago, and grew eloquent i'm her praise Of the
beauty Of his jet black hair, his
stately walk, and ..his voice - added she.
''Pll never forget that; III know that voice
when hear it in Heaven :" The gentle
man was 50 overcome with his emOtious
that he could sham no longer, but elasping
his daughter in bis arms, he proceeded tO
administer a shower of kisses much TO the
bewildermeHt Of her husband, who happen
ed to step into the room just at that mo-
ment. He soon eOmprehended the situa-
ton, however, as did also several grandcl.dE
dren of the returned Californian, and soon
there was a JOYOUS time in that household.
The father had grown gray and eorpulent,
but his daughter vowed she would have
known him had he worn the same suit Of
clothing that he left in. The gentleman is
respectable and wealthy citizen of THlare
county, California.

Widespread DeSOlatiOn by Fire.
The Lake ShOre UninhabitabIe.
A People Reduced to DestitutiOn.

DETROIT, Oct. 1.-THE news which has
been received to-day confirms the previous
reports as to the widespread desolation in
ticted by the fires in various parts of the
State. From Port Huron to Point Aux
Borgues the shore is almost deserted, the
inhabitants being burned out and Obliged
to flee for their lives, saving nothing.
Particulars of the ManiStee and Holland
conaagration also give more disastrous as
pect than the first reports. All the energies
OF the people of this city are now directed
to aid the sufferers in our own State, and
contributions of money, provisions and
clothing are being made.
The Central Relief Committee sent a
special agent to Manistee with 5000 worth
of supplies and $1,000 in cash. Also an
agent to Lake Huron with clothing and
supplies. The committee has established a
central depot for the reception of clothing
and provisions, which are arriving with lib
eral contributions. Collections are to be
taken up in all the churches tomorrow in
aid of the Michigan sufferers.
In most of the cities throughout the
State relief committees have been formed
and the good work is being carried on with
energy. Animmense sum of ready money
must be raised to enable destitute farmers
and others to rebuild and purchase neces-
sary tools and stock.
Gen. Cuteheon, of Manistee, with his
wife and children, has just arrived here.
He is bereft of house, furniture, books,
papers and every invention of his past life,
and all the clothing left to him is that now
worn by himself and family. The great
multitude at Manistee are in the same con-
dition, without shelter, bedding, clothing or
food.
Gen. Cutcheon says that there are 1000
people who need immediate help. He
wished to say to the people of Michigan
that when the people of Manistee heard of
the Chicago calamity they were in despair,
but he has just heard of the generous re-
spouse for Manistee, and feels as if there
was yet something to live for.
He advises the people to send solid un-
cooked food, such as -four, meats and gro
ceries, next send bedding for women and
children to sleep upon, next winter clothing
for women and children.
Hundreds of women only escaped in their
night clothes with their children in their
arms. These want clothing. 1t must be
remembered that Manistee is away from
farming community or from farmers supplies.
She is also without railroad connection,
and consequently her case is not only a
needy one, but also perilous. Luckily a
government vessel is at hand with an able
and brave sailor in charge to convey cOntri-
buttons from Grand Haven.
One thing more they want at Manistee,
carpenters tools. Every tool was burned.
They have plenty of lumber, and with tools,
nails and glass can soon erect shanties.
Send these. The insurance of ManiStee
was mostly in Chicago and Milwaukee COM
panies.

CUREFOR CANCER.

Frequent instances of the cure of cancers
by means of tea made from the common
red clover have been published of late; and
as the remedy is certainly a harmless and
inexpensive one, the qualities claimed for ii
should be generally known. The Boston
Herald says that a well known sea captain
of Newburyport feels certain that he has
been cured Of a cancer on his nose by drink
ing tea made from red clover tops, and
using the same preparation as an external
application. What was considered fully
developed cancer two years and half ago
has now almost disappeared under this
treatment.

ae.qW We understand that the New Movement

purpose of explaining the objects Of Their
association, We learn that Gen. Geo.

Martial Law and Wholesale Arrests.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The Ku-Klux
proclamation to-day turns out to be a most
important step in new policy to be pushed
toward the South. 1t is now known posi-
lively that for more than six weeks or even
since the Ku-Klux Committee of Congress
returned from the South the AdminiStra-
ton has had under consideration policy to
be enforced not only against the so-caled
Ku-Klux organization, but in the admins
tration of Federal and civil affairs in the
South. There was no substantial differ
ence of opinion among the President
and the Cabinet and the leading
who favored this new order
of things, except as 10 the time when it
should have been enforced, and that ac-
counts for the delay till after the October
elections. The proclamation is, therefore,
but the forerunDsr of martial law and the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. as
provided by the fourth section of the act of
April 20, This says that any Ku-Klux
or combination shall be deem
ed rebellion against the Government, the |
limits of which shall be prescribed by pro- |
ciamatlon, and also by commanding the in !
slHgents to d1sperse before the privileges of |
lhe writ OF habeas corpus are suspended.
A prominent member of the government, |
and also leading Republican, stated to-
lay that the arrangements of the civil and
military for wholesale arrests of members
If the Ku-Klux Klan had been perfected, |
md that the country would be surprised, if |
he proclamation were not needed, by the
lrreSt of well known Southern men. Inas-
much as it is ayerred that outrages in the
south are provoked by the corruption of
and the plumber of the people,
is the intention of the President to war
are against all corrupt Federal officials, and
o invite the cooperation of all good Repub-
leans for the displacement of bad State
fficials. This is to go hand in hand with
he enforcement of the Ku-Klux law until
is stated there is lasting peace in the
outh.

MUNICH, Oct. 14.-There was an impor-
tant debate in the Lower House of the Ba-
varian Reichstath ON the subject of Papal
infallibility. The Minister Of Worship and
Public Instruction, replying TO an interpret
lation by a number Of Deputies, said that
the State had at all times the right to make
changes in the laws relating to the church.
The church having declared a change of
principles and infallibility being doctrine
dangerous to the State, the Government
had resolved to protect any and all of its
citizens who could not accept the infallibil
ity of the Pope as an article of faith. The
Government would still consider such per-
sons as Catholics and it would oppose any
encroachment by the church upon the
principles of the civil constitution. More
over the Minister declared that the senti-
ment of the King and the Council of State
favored separation of the religious and
political branches of the Government and
the complete independence Of each.
