Neyy Immturntion Laws.

Mr.. Guenther, of Wisconsin, introduced in
the house two bills relating to immigration
yesterday. The first is intended as substi-
tute to the hcad-money bill of last August,
and its enactment would necessarily repeal
that bill. Its purpose is to provide for COM
mission, to be appointed by the President, to
consist of three commissioners, at New York,
and one for each of the cities of Baltimore,
Boston, Charleston, Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco, New Orleans, and Huron, to act as agents
of the government in collecting and disbursing
the head money, in place Of state boards to be
designated by the secretary of the treasury, as
provided by the existing law. The bill is the
same as the one introduced, by request, in tho
senate by Senator Miller, of New York, and
differs from the existing law only in the mat
ter of commissioners.
The other bill has for its purpose the assim-
ilation of the immigration laws (so far as they
relate to transportation, treatment of pas
sengers, &c.) of the United States with those
of England and Germany. Mr.. Guenthers s
attention was called on Saturday TO commu-
nication from the English government lately
received at the State department in viting CO.
operation in tho matter of emigration laws.
This bill provides for commission of three
TO inquire into the matter and formulate q
law, which shall be submitted to the govern
ments of England and Germany, and in case
of acceptance reported to congress for enact
mcnt. In the event of non acceptance, it
provides for joint commission of the several
countries to confer and agree upon the de-
sired laws, the compensation of the commits
sioners to be hereafter fixed at reasonable rate
per day while actually engaged on the work.

Lnrnn,a ARMY RIII.

Mr.. Logan yesterday reported to the senate
from the military committee, with favorable
recommendation, the bill introduced by him
ON the twentieth of December, to increase the
efficiency of the army. The bill provides
that cases now triable by regimental or gar
rison court shall hereafter be tried before a
summary court consisting of the officer second
in command ut the post, whose finding shall

Ger of the post, and that the number of en-
listed men in the army, including an engineer
battalion of $50 men, hospital stewards, and
1000 Indian scouts, shall be not to exceed
10000; increase the pay of privates from $l3
to SIG per month, and of non-commssioned
officers and subalterns in proportion allows
commissioned officers to employ privates as
servants upon condition of first obtaining
their consent, and provides that in case of
such employment tho pay of the private shall
be deducted from the pay of tho officer en-
ploying him; prohibits allowances to officers
by the quartermaster eXceptin kind; and pro-
vides for the employment of 100 competent
instructors in military tactics to increase the
efficiency of troops in drilling, &c.

New Business I'm Congress.

The bills and resolutions turned upon the
house of representatives during the first hour
yesterday numbered eighty-nine, and in
cluded propositions TO build u congressional
library; to buy the house on Tenth street in
which Abraham Lincoln died to ro-enact o
lot of old pension laws; to reimburse the Off
GERS and men who lost their personal effects
by the burning of the exploring steamer
Rodgers, and to reward the natives for feeding
and sheltering the crew after the disaster; to
send garden and field seeds to the sufferers by
the Rhine overflow in Germany; to establish
" school of forestry in Dakota to arrange
with England and Germany, by means of n
commission, for the assimilation of all laws
affecting the transportation and care of emil
grants; to give the widow of Comd'r De
Long pension, and to accomplish seventy
eight other objects of more or less importance.
The committees unloaded themselves of re-
ports and the members hustled in their pri-
vate bills for pensions, for relief, and for
other small matters. The few mentioned
show t'he variety of work before congress, and
the number put in show the industry. 1t is
the general opinion that there will be very
little else to show so far as new bills are con-
cerned this season.

Treaty wan Germnny.

Representative Deustor, from the commit
tee on foreign affairs, reported to the house
yesterday Il substitute for the resolution pre-
viously introduced by him which proposed
the formal termination of the existing treaty
between the United States and the North
German Union. The substitute requests the
President to take the necessary steps toward
negotiating new treaty with the German
empire for the purpose Of securing more
liberal and just provisions respecting the
rights OF the citizens (native born or nat
uralized) of the United States and of the Ger
man empire. The accompanying report ex-
plains that the object of the substitute is TO
obviate the necessity for giving tho stipu-
present treaty; to correct tho imperteotiOns In
the existing treaty, and to make treaty with
the New German empire as II contracting
party instead of the North German Union.

committed. The Indians do not believe he

the Avenue man, that the Indians have no
right to the land they claim" "That is
very strange The government paid
about $350,000 for part of the
land of the Red Lake and Chippewa tribes,
and the 100000 acres of unceded land re-
naming is held by the same right. In buy
ing part of the reservation in 1863 tho gov
ernment recognized the right of the Indians
to what is left"
"Under the provisions of tho treaty" re-
marked a member of the house committee
on Indian affairs, every half breed of the
Red Lake and Pembina tribes is given the
privilege Of locate quarter section of land,
and it is possible the pine land spectators
have bought up lot of these half-brecd
claims, but my impression is they have
simply swooped down on the timber
land with felonious intent. They
will cut down and saw up all the trees they
can reach, and then if government TIM
Der agents step in and put u stop to that sort
Of thing they will compromise by paying the
land office something for the pine they have
stolen, the money to be held in trust for the
Indians. If the combination is strong one it
can fend off a government inquiry for two or
three years, and by the expiration of that
time the operators can have stolen themselves
and their friends rich"

Senator Pendlcton's committee clerk is the
only advocate the Ohio statesmen has for the
presidency. He stands almost alone amid the
ruin of his lofty hopes aud ambitions. A
Buckeye congressman of democratic proclivi-
ties in discussing his chances said "Senator
Pendleton never had much show, but he eff
fectually removed himself from the field. He
is no longer remote possibility. 1t would
be criminal for the democracy to nominate
him, now that they have a chance of success
and he is out of the question. Gentleman
George comes nearer being the personifcation
of moneyed aristocraoy than any man in the
senate. He has made several millions in rail-
way ventures and other enterprises and has
seated himself ON the highest pedestal of
social eXolusiveness he could espy."

The season has been very backward and cold
and as consequence the corn crop in Min.

as usual by this time of the year, but it is all
up and growing fast since the warm weather
set in. The same cause has had no such eff
feet upon wheat, rye, oats and barley These
look exceedingly well, and the opinion is gen

no further drawbacks are experienced Al
vegetable crops are looking finely. The
farmers are generally feeling cheerful ovei

THOSE FISHERY CLAUSES.

Henry YOule Hind Continues to
Charges OF Perfdy in the Fishery
Treaty.
WINDSOR, Ms, July 2.-Henry Youle Hind
calls attention to the fact that notice for
abrogation of the fishery clauses and article
xxx. of the treaty of Washington is to be
given July l by the president of the United
States IN accordance with the recommenda-
ton of congress, and says this action suggests
the publicity of such information respecting
the matter as may be conducive to public
interests But circumstances have occurred
in England which will render the inquiry
there unexpectedly interesting and exhaustive
He then at great length rehearses the state
ments previously made by him relative to
the falsity of the documents furnished in re-
gard to the fisheries and trade of Canada to
the fisheries commission in 1878, and con-
cludes with an affidavit that after the sign
ing of the treaty of Washington steps were
taken to tamper with the officers of the
United States to secure certain changes and
representations in the record of the annual
official statements of the United States re-
lating to commerce and navigation, and con-
corning fisheries and other matters, which
changes were prejudicial to the interests of
the United States and favorable to Canada,
in view of the Halifax commission, or other
objects. Also, to tamper with, or wink at,
the proceedings Of an officer or officers Of the
Canadian government, and secure changes
and representations in the annual official
statements of the Canadian government re-
lating to trade and navigation, and concern
ing fisheries and other matters. The docu-
ment is addressed to Sir Stafford Northcote.
