\ reader of the Chicago Inter- ocean
refers to the announcement of Captain
Potter, who commanded the relief ship
Constellation, was rendered the "frec-
dom of II city, in Dublin, and asks
about the nature of the honor, its priv
ileges, etc, to which the following re-
ply was given: at is Il custom con
fined to the Eastern countries, and
notably to the city of London, in
which city it consists simply in this:
When the corporation have decided to
confer the honor upon any distin-
guishcd individual, he is notified in
the old fashioned way, by the City
Chamberlain, to appear in the com
mon hall before the city fathers on II
certain date, whcrc he is met by the
mayor and the councillors. The City
Chamberlain then informs him that
the city has decided to confer upon
him the rights of Il free citizen, and
makes an address, usually applaudi
tory of the special service or merit of
the individual. He is then handed
small strip of parchment, inscribed
with his name and titles, which guar
antces to the holder and his children
after him forever, the right to live
and trade within the city, without
having to pay II tax on the goods rs
they are brought through the gates.
1t cXcmpts them from military and
naval service, and tolls and duties
throughout the United Kingdom. II
assures to his children the care of the
Chamberlain, who, in case they are
left orphans, take charge of their
property and administers it in their
interests until they arrive at years Of
maturity. The parchment bears the
seal and signature of the Lord Mayor
and Chamberlain, and is generally
ornamentcd with ribbons and illumi-
mated. 1t is always Enclosed in long,
thin gold box, aud is intended, of
course, rs an heirloom. The freedom
of the city Of Dublin, we believe, in
cludcs essentially the same privileges.
The gold caskct in which the freedom
of the city is given is often very beau
tiful and costly. The one given Gen.
Grant by the city of London was of
the cinque-ccnto style, oblong, the
corners mounted by American eagles,
aud beautifully decorated. On the
reverse side il Il view of the entrance
TO the Guild Hall, with an appropr
ate inscription. At the ends are two
figures, also in gold, finely modelled
and chased, representing the city of
London and the United states, aud
bearing their respective shields, in
enamel. At the corners are double
columns, lanrcl-wreathed with corn
and cotton, and on the cover cornu
copia, cmblematic of the fertility and
prosperity of the United States. The
rose, shamrock and thistle are also in
troduccd. The cover is surmountcd
10y the arms of the city of London.
The caslet is surmounted by Amcr
can eagles modelled and chased in gold,
the whole standing on velvet plinth,
decorated with stars aud stripes. The
asset n which tina freedom of Dub
lin wa, given Captain Potter was of
handsome dogWoud.

The Roscburg independent give, the
following complimentary notice of the
work done 10y Lieut.. IT, w. Symons
on the Southern Oregon military road:
From Mr.. VIM. CARL and many
tcamstcrs travelling over the road con-
structed over the Grave creek, Crow
creek and Canyon creek mountains we
learn that the appropriation made by
congress is being most iudiciously and
carefully expended by Lieut.. Symons.
The work so far completed is of a most
substantial character, and the grades
made everything that skill and care
ful thought can devise; in other words,
the work being done is intended to
withstand for years the severe heat
and winters cold, and remain rs cvi-
dcncc of what iutclligently directed
work can do when honestly intended.
AS has been before stated, Lieut..
Symons, with the soundest of judg-
mcnt, began the work of road build
ing where there We're no people to
build roads, rightly concluding that
where districts were well populated
the people could look after the roads
themselves; and to-day he has nearly
finished II fine road that will take care
of itself through comparatively wild
country. Not dollar of the appro-
priation has been misapplicd, and
since we have learned SO much that Is
highly complimentary of the result oi
his labors, we can only regret that all
the officials of the government are not
50 honest, capable and tirelcSS in the
performance of their duties rs Lieut..

crs of the party have already arrived
on the Sound, and are looking at the
lay of the country. We are pleased to
welcome them the territory, wherever
they may decide to locate. \ colony

Scarcely Il month passes without
some official communication by the
secretary To congress, pointing out the
danger and embarrassment attending
the constantly increasing accumula-
tion of silver coin for which there is
no business demand, and which can
not he gotten into circulation. The
latest communications of the secre-
tary refer to the physical embarass-
mcntS of the increase. The vaults Of
the treasury buildings at Washington
have been filled with all the silver
they can hold, and rcliei has been
sought by sending the cumbersome
surplus to the New York sub-trcasury.
Now Assistant Treasurer Hillhousc,
in charge Of the suh-trcasury, writes
that his vaults will hold only ten mill
lions more, and, if the silver coinage
is going to continue, ii will be neccs-
sary To make more room for the un-
marketable product somewhere after
five months more. Thi, i a very sig
niiicant statement. OF course, il il is
necessary to coin more silver, the
United states can build more vaults
To store il in; but the fact that nearly
the whole product of ten years COIN
age is eucWmbrring the treasury with
out doing anybody the smallest good,
should set the people to thinking
whether It is worth while either to coin
more silver or build more vaults

Rats are "A great nuisance in any
house, and it perfectly proper to war
against them in every conceivable
way. The Scientific american gives
the following method of Kidding II
house of them. Ii has one advantage,
that, if not successful, the benefit of
cleanliness and disinfection is at least
secured "Wc clean our premises of
these detestablc vermin by making
whitewa-h yellow with copperas, and
covering the stones and rafters in the
cellar with it. In every crevice in
which II rat may tread, we put crys-
tails of the copperas, and scatter the
same in the corners of the floor The
result was IA perfect stampede of rats
and mice. Since that time not Il foot
fall of either rats or mice has been
heard about the house. Every Spring
Il coat of the yellow wash il given the
cellar--as a purifier, as n rat extermi-
nator-and no typhoid, dy-entery or
fever attacks the family. Many per-
sons deliberately attract all the rats
in the ncighborhood by leaving fruits
and vegetables uncovered in the cellar,
and sometimes even the soap is left
open for their regalement. Cover up
every thing eatable in the cellar and
pantry, and you will soon have them
out These precautions, joined To the
services of good cat, Will prove as
good rat cXterminator as the chem
ist can provide. We never allow rats
to be poisoned In our dwcllings-thcy
are so liable to die between the walls
and produce much annoyance

The London Spectator is amazed, as
it may well bc, at speed the United
States government j. paying Off the
national debt, but still more AT the
willingness of the people to submit to
taxation for the purpose. II tells the
exact truth when II says: at is APP
parent from all French, German and
American recent history, and, ~ We
believe, from that Of Great Britain,
that democracy il not impatient OF
taxation at all, that it likes full
treasury, that 1t is inclined to spend,
and that 1t will give whatever its
leaders declare To he essential TO the
welfare of the state. 1t looks rcck-
less thing To. say, but we do not be-
leve ii To be settled that this country
would not bear very strong measures,
indeed, for the reduction of the debt"

WASHINGTON, May 14th.-Eaton presented me
mortal of Davis hatch, a citizen OF Connecticut,
who tried, imprisoned and otherwise maltreated
by the San DOMINICAN Government on false charges
of aiding Instruction He asks official inves-
tigation and reparation.
There was considerable discussion over this old
and well-known case, Conkiing intimating that it
was aspersion OF good men, and that he wanted
the whole matter thoroughly investigated if at all,
and set at rest forever. 1t was virulent attempt
to SANDER citizens for political and personal pur
poses, which he wanted exposed He would demand
vote the question in the Senate. 1t was strange
that the matter should be brought up just as this
political moment, after resting ten years He read
from the reports OF the Select Committee in 1870
vindicating Babcock, Ingalls, and Sackett. and de-
claring Hatchs charges inspired by political and
personal animosity.
The morning hour expired and the matter went
over
Voorhees, motion to adjourn to-day to Monday
was lost-33 TO 10.
The Kellogg resolutions were then taken up.
Pendleton differed from Carpenter and from Hill.
The Senate judicial body, in that it could al
WAYS grant a rehearing of cases on sufficient
grounds, but rehearings should be granted with
caution, to prevent strife. The Senate should re-
spect the action OF former Senate, unless II APP
peared that facts were then ignored or fraud prac
tced upon that BODY. The Senate should not reverse
its findings to accord with those OF State as Hill
declared. Spoffords charges were not proven.
Nothing was proven anew but the utter villainy OF
the witness
u Cameron of Wisconsin opposed the resolutions.
Hoar moved that the Senate adjourn to-day to
Monday
Davis of West Virginia thought it unfair to renew
motion in a thin Senate which full Senate voted
down.
The motion was agreed toe to IS.
The Kellogg resolutions laid aside and the
bill passed relieving Thomas Worthington of Ohio,
a soldier of the Army Of Tennessee.
Adjourned till Monday.
