TIE TREATY OF WASHINGTON In the
House of Commons last night Mr.. HorSman,
again asked Her Majesty's Government to as
sure Parliament that ia case fresh negotiations
relative to the Alabama claims were entered
upon with the Government of the L. S., no
proposals would be finally accepted until they
had received the sanction of Parliament Mr.
Gladstone, said he had been unable to consult
with his colleagues on the subject. lie added
that he was yet without opportunity to do So,
and consequently not able to give the assurance
asked for He would state: however. that
Parliament would be informed at all times Of
the spirit, aim, direction and policy of the Gov
eminent on all important questions. As far as
the Alabama claims were concerned, he beev-
ed the speech of Her Majesty at the opening
of the session gave all necessary information
He said it would be impossible for the Govern
ment to delegate to Parliament the power OF
making treaties Mr. Horsman in reply to
the last portion of Mr. Gladstone's remarks,
cited the fact that the Z. S. Senate had power
to ratify or reject any treaty which the Govern
ment may negotiate. Mr. Gladstone repeated
his assertion that it would be impossible to al
low Parliament treaty making power, but at
the same time stated it was the duty Of the
Government to keep Parliament informed of
any alteration in the governmental policy.

INTERESTING CASE On Friday evening the
case of Delany & Son vs.. j. W. Fairfax was
taken up, and given to the jury on Saturday
night who, after an hour consultation report
ed that they were unable to agree, and were
discharged by he court until 10 0 clock Mon
day when another consultation followed, and
the jury still being unable to agree, they were
fuaIly discharged, and the case removed to the
Circuit Court This was an interesting case and
may be summed up as follows -Delany & Son
are land agents. and through their agency the
sale of ''Oakhill," the estate of Col. Fairfax,
was sold to Dr. Quimby of New York, in the
spring of 1870, for $50, 900. After the sale was
affected and the cash payment of 100000 had
been made, the Delany's demanded their pay.
COL F. promptly sent them check for 81 900,
which he alleges to have been the contract
price agreed upon by the agents, and upon
which check they collected the money-while
they claim five per Ct on the amount OF sale. or
50. j0O-leaving remainder due them, accord
ing to their showing, Of $1,000. A number of
witnesses were examined and the case ably ar
gued by Messrs e. H. and R. H. Lee and NJ
Harrison for the plaintiffs, and Messrs Hunton
& Foster, for the defendant The result was
as above stated the jury standing eight for the
defendant and four of the plaintiffs. -Lou7cun

will be so reduced that it will be a slight I'M
dertaking to make a trip to that city About
the middle Of April the Frederick sburg road
will be extended to Quantico, where there is
an excellent landing and deep water. That

may be, there should be an all rail line from

We do not know anything of the condition
of negotiations between the Fredericksburg

that if an all-ral line should be completed to

will be settled upon for that purpose. -Rich.

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Alexandria Gazette.
STAFFORD Co March 20. The Agriculture
Society Of Stafford met Oh Saturday last at the
residence of Mr. W. Waller The ucul bcr>
organized at - clock, and report Was givel
in Of the proceedings of the preceding meeting
and after some further business conversation, ii
committee was appointed 10 inspect Mr.. ".
farm, in order to find out lis con iIlon. a :
clock there was recess, aud very hand
some dinner was discussed, which reflected
much credit on Ms W. as a sekeepcr t"'
all that could please the eye and palate Was ID
be seen. IIis important feature OF the day br'
ing over the society organized again: aud the
laclieS ri ,hc family were invited in TO hear the
debate which was on the culture Of trlll:S. ;lIl
tie good results from the same.
Mr. W Moncure opened the discussion and
advanced some excellent ideas, agreed TO by
most of the members present. Gen. Ice gavy
the assembly the beueil of SOME good remarks,
TO the effect that the DEMONS Of Il COUNTRY
should push along, keep moving: and that
nothing was more conducive 10 accomplish that
end than the cultivation Of fruits, which, in
proportion To the amount Of trouble and TX
pense gone to- paid better than any other crop,
and that something ought to BE- done To adj
''dcvilish quick too.
The President. Mr. Ford, made IA very hand
some little address; gave quite an interesting
account of the culture Of fruit in Missouri. and
the fine returns it brought to the farmers. ilra>
much as a bl,shel OF fruit Of any kind was worth
.as much as the same amount OF any other crop.
and the expense with the cultivation Of the
former was not third as much as either corn or
wheat, consequently the farmer would never
lose by paying strict attention to his orchards:
and that he hoped the people of Stafford. with
a market almost at their doors, would consider
this important question ana act upon II. Mr.
Waller made sOme excellent remarks on the
subject, and suggested that the debate for the
following month should be on the most econo-
mcal method of improving labdS, and the APP
pcaton of improvements, which suggestions
met with the appreciation of the club. All pass
ed off so we'll that the day seemed unusually
short. Mr. W. doing the honors with that
grace and ease which distinguishes a Virginia

be held at Gen Fitz Lee on the third Satur-
day in April. [ have made these remarks IN
brief, thinking that an ADLER pen than mine will
write an account of the meeting.
| must say in conclusion. that / think every
county should have society Of this kind,
for it constitutes social bond between friends.
and is something pleasant, not only to enjoy,
but to anticipate from one month 10 the next,
and is likewise calculated to keep up that broth
erly love, which should exist among mankind.
My expectations on the aforesaid occasion
were more than realized. for did not imagine
that an agricultural meeting could be such a
pleasant atfair;and thought like Sheba Queen:
