A letter from Gen LoDgstreet, dated New
Orleans, March %, addressed to Senator W.P.
Kellogg, Washington, is published, in which
he (Gen L. expresses his belief that, upon
the whole; reconstruction has been quite a
success-that it is due to ''the firm hand the
present Administration that it would be
better not to attempt "a change of the Admin
istration that the personal claims Of the
President are very great" and that she is
constrained to say he thinks the people owe
it to themselves and to the President to return
him to the Office that he has filled SO well, and
with such entire good faith" Men Of very in
ferior position, as times go, are constrained
to say, that they differ entirely from Gen.
Longstreet, but are not at all surprised, after
what has occurred in his case, to read the SEN
tinlents he avows, and the opinions he gives.

The Washington Patriot suggests that as the
Greek of Scio once commanded pity when the
Moslem butchered him; why not the Christian
convert in Japan? When can we better do it
than now, with visitors amonst us greedy, as

will add, we should like to see some practical
steps taken, if possible, for the benefit Of the
Jews who are suffering cruel persecution in

\ memorial has recently been presented to
Congress, in which the wooden shipbuilding
interests of Massachusetts, New Hampshire
anil Maine are considered as being sacrificed 10
a policy favoring the iron ship-builders The
cost of iron, however, has risen to such pitch
that it is no longer economical to build iron
steamers. In the British shipyards cheap iron
steamers, it is said, cannot now be built even
of the Hmsiest construction, and both in Cana
ia and England wooden vessels are in increased
demand

In an article on Disintectants, aud Sanitary
Economy, for the prevention of the spread OF
contagious diseases, the Philadelphia Record
strongly recommends the use Of dried earth Tor
certain purposes, nasmuch as It's cheap. easily
obtained and readily applied while its special
property o, absorhing all n"xious liquids and
gases is unsurpassed by any other MATERIAL
Although chlorimated lime, promo chloiaum
and other preparations have been urged for
this purpose, and are undoubtedly useful ad-
iuncts in particular cases, yet they are not only
far more costly than dried earth, but, as ex-
perments have proved, they are much less
capable of absorbing and ncutrallzng the poi
sonollS elnanationS.

Scientific Novels are now coming into
vogue. Two or three have lately been issued,
and are, as yet, seeking public favor. 1t is
said Of one of them that unless the reader is
thoroughly acquainted with the great questions
of the day, unless be thoroughly perceives the
tendencies of modern thought unless he is at
home with the last biblical criticisms, appreci-
ates the lessons of Darwin and Huxley in sci
ence, and has laid to heart the doctrines of the
more advanced school Of psychologists, much
in the novel will be perfectly uninteligible.
The brief comment upon this in the New York
Standard is, that these are singular prerequi-
sites to the understanding of work of fiction.

The TREATY or WASHINGTON. The letter
Of Earl Granville, in reply to that Of Secretary
Fish on the question as to whether the treaty
of Washington covers the claims of this gov
ernment for consequential damages, was only
partially read, at the meeting of the Cabinet
yesterday owing to its length. The document
is an argument to negative the proposition
maintained in the American case, and Is be-
lieved to of such character as to preclude
the British government from consenting to re-
fer the question, even as a preliminary one, to
the Geneva Conference Whether renewal
of the negotiations will result or not remains to
be SEEN This government will, Of course, re
ply to the note of Earl Granville; but 1t Is
said that those best informed do not hesitate
to express the belief that the treaty is failure
and that the agent and counsellors Of this gov
eminent will be recalled before the first OF June.
The American arbitrator is already III ths,
country. The consideration Of the note OF
Earl Granville will be resumed at the meeting
of the Cabinet on Friday.
