WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Will
son has accepted an invitation to adj
dress a Republican mass meeting In
New York Wednesday night Senator
CARPENTER intimates that Wilson will
speak in opposition to the statement
made by Truwbull at an anti-Grant
meeting Friday last.
The civil rights bill comes up again in
the House to-day.
Preparations for Morse's memorial
services here are completed. The

do Wood, Garfield, Cox, Voorhees, and
Banks, TIE President, Vice President,
Judges of courts and Governors of States
have been invited The Secretary of the
Navy will supply the Marine band, and

About the 23d of March the Govern
ment decided to take snch vigorous
action in the case of DR.. Howard, inn
prisoned by Spain, as would lead to his
speedy release, aud wishing to make it
test case made vigorous representations
to Spain, assuming emphatically that
Howard is United States citizen and en-
titled to ample protection. tbs now learn
ed that the Spanish Government offers the
release of Howard as an act of friendli-
ness on their part towards the United
States Government, but at the same
time they are not willing to admit that
the least injustice attaches to their ac-
ton in the trial and Imprisonment of
Howard.

LATE European intelligence contains
information of good deal of agitation
in diplomatic circles over rumors OF a
scheme of defensive alliance between
Germany and Italy, whereby, as stated,
Italy guarantees to Germany possession
of Alsace and Lorraine, and Germany
guarantees to Italy Rome as the capital
of the latter. In case of war the two
powers will arrange a combined plan OF
military operations. 1t is also said that
Russia, which has of late manifested a
significant tendency to disregard her
treaty obligations, especially those OF
the Treaty of Paris, will join this Goa
lition.

YNnrAN NEGROES.

One Of the papers says the negroes
that were held as slaves by the Indians
in the Indian territory uutil freed by the
Thirteenth amendment, are becoming
somewhat uneasy about their status in
the country in which they we're born and
raised. Their position is an anomalous
one. They are not enumerated OF
claimed as members OF any tribe, and
they are much disturbed by rumors to
the effect that they will have to leave
the territory, They have determined,
however, to pick out their land and
claim equal rights with the Indians in
all tribal property, and appeal to the
government to protect them in the en-
joyment o. the benefits of all treaties
made with the Indians.

IT is said that the Administration Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania are still rati-
flying the constitutional amendments
adopted three, four, FIVE and six years
ago. They appear to suspect that their
party did not fairly adopt them, after all;
for at time when all persons, even the
Bourbon Democrats, have ceased to
talk about them, they drag them out and
declare that their adoption has not
been acquiesced in by all so as to render
secure and permanent their incorpora-
ton in the constitution.

GENERAL GRANT has just been seeking
to gain popularity by indictinga great
many persons-some of them dead-ior
frauds alleged to have been perpetrated
years ago. The witnesses are gone, and
the evidence has grown weak, or van
ished, even in the cases where the par
ties are living, and it is doubtful whether
there will be a single conviction.

GF-In our last Issue we mentioned
that JAMES WATSON. Esq.,-a merchant
residing in Graysville this County, as
former supporter of GRANT, and en-
nounced thathe had declared for GREE
LEY and BRowN. 1t has been suggested
that our notice of Mr.. WATSON did not
fairly represent his former position, as
it might be inferred from the language
used that he bad been recently Repub
lican. We had received the impression
that he was a Republican, and, hearing
of the active part he is taking in favor
of GREELEY and Brown, in the present
canvass, we gave him the notice referred
TO.
But we have since been informed that
Mr. WATSON has always been Demo,
crat. During the war, however, like
GRoEsBEoK, MoRGAN and many others,
he was known as "War Democrat; )"
but he has long since recognized the
fact that the war ceased with the sur
render of LEE in 1865. He was never
supporter of Gen. GRANT.
We understand that AIR. WATsoN,EviLi
