NEW York, Jan. aT.-The Times says in
regard to Andrew Johnson's return to public
life that he displayed many and grave faults
as President, but went out Of the White House
as pure as he entered it, which is something

Gus errors, the Times characterizes him as n
man of great natural ability, force of char
acter, and will considerably enliyen Senate
discussions What he says will generally be
worth hearing. The World says il is sincere
IN glad of the return of SO experienced and
upright public man to the Senate. AL
though his faculties and inclinatioHs fit him
better for opposition than power, his past
proves his future will be unselfish, honest

Hawaiian Reciprocity Treaty.
WASHINGTON, JAN 20 NEGOTIATIONS for
reciprocity treaty with the Sandwich Islands
are practically completed. 1t will be sent
| to the Senate in few days. AT the instance
of the Hawaiian Island commissioners Il has
| been provided the treaty shall not go into
effect till the House of Representatives gives
sanction by appropriate legislation. The
| question recently raised by resolution of
| the Vermont legislature as to the right of
| the President and Senate alone decide such
matters of commercial policy will thus be
avoided The Hawaiian commissioners have
also suggested the insertion of clause pro-
hbiting luvving of export duties on any ar
tcc named in .hc treaty. This has been
done in view of the action of the Govern
ment of Brazil, which, when the United
States removed the import duty on coffee,
levied an export duty of 1--WE cents per pound,
which has since been added to the profits of
foreign producers and paid by consumers.
