Washington Matters.

The United States Senate was not in ses-
sion on Saturday. The House met for gen.
erai debate, Mr.. Hay in the chair. About
dozen members were present, and speeches
upon variety of subjects were made.
1t is reported from London that the British
government has sent despatch to Washing
ton Withdrawing its agreement to submit the
Alabama claims to the Geneva board of ar
bitration if the liability for indirect damages
remains an open question. Dispatches from
Washington say, however, that no informa-
ton has been received by our government
which excites fears that the Geneva arbitra.
ton will fail in its object. The report 10
hardly credible without confirmation.
The correspondent of the Boston Journal
says John ID. Lang Of Vassalboro', Maine,
one of the most efficient of the Indian Peace
Commissioners, has contributed to the an
nual report on Indian affairs an interesting
account of his removal of party of one hum
dred and fifty Cherokees from East Tenne-
see to the reservation of the Indian nation.
Mr.. Lang states that the remnent of the
Cherokee tribes, by reliable accounts rem
dered valuable assistance in the infancy of
our Government, and have occupied lands in
North Carolina and Tennessee upward of Gen.
fury, and have received little or no care by
way of education or otherwise from any body
OF white people, and now to be deprived of
and forced off from their lands and deprived
of money due them appears hard to them.
They allege that their lands were sold by
Government agents, who used the money to
pay their private debts, their bondsmen and
others connected with them, as pretended
claim agents, without the consent of the In
dams and against their protest, which they
will show on fair investigation of this fraud
ulent transaction. Mr.. Lang had no guards
or attendants, except disbursng clerk from
this city to pay the bills, but the whole party
were quietly and peaceably removed to their
new home. This is an admirable example of
General Grants peace policy, which will
soon not only civilize the Indians, but spare
the nation its annual expenditures of blood
and money.

changes in the belt Of apparent flame the cor
rect conclusion was arrived at that it was a
display of the aurora borealis. 1t was a
grand spectacle, and lasted for more than an
hour We understand that the phenomena
appeared again at a little past midnight, with
increased brilliancy, so that even the snow as
sumed crimson tinge.
