fact that the consular and customs officers who
have administered the Law to enforce the treaty
have been either incompetent or corrupt All
the evidence, he says goes to show that under
cover OF this treaty there has been perpetrated
one Of the most colossal frauds against the
revenue Of this government that has ever been
brough, to light.
Mr.. Belmont then quotes at length from the
testimony given before the committee to prove
that the greater part Of the sugar imported free
from the Sandwich Islands, was above No. 10
Dutch standard and was therefore not properly
duty free within the meaning ofthe commercial
test required by the treaty and the law Of 1876
This condition Of things he attributes to the
misconduct Of the United States consular and
Custom House officers. He says:--
Can II be-unless incompetency and demo
raization have reigned supreme among Amer.
can officials in the Sandwich Islands, and
among the customs officers where the sugars
have been entered-that two-thirds Of the i'm
portation Of sugars from the Sandwich Islands
since the treaty have been entered and passed
in violation of the treaty and in fraud Of the
revenue laws Of the United States2 n an in.
voice OF an entry has been made with intent to
deiraud the revenue Of the United States or by
any fraudulent appliance Of practice whatever,
not only the merchandise described therein Is
to be forfeited, but il the merchandise has
passed out Of the possession Of the government
or is not in existence the value thereof is to be
forfeited and recovered Of the person making
the entry. Those making the entry and all
customs officers concerned in such fraud upon
the revenue, are liable TO fine and imprison.
ment. II the persons who have the fraudulcH,
entries Of sugars referred TO are in the United
States, both civil and criminal proceeding can
be begun against them blythe government. Ger
tain it is that these iraudule Mt appliances and
pratices can be prevented in the future.

SUGAR DUTIES IND FOREIGN
TREATIES.

Judge Wallace, in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday, handed down decision in
the case Of Bartram and others against Robert.
son, suit to recover duties alleged to have
been illegally exacted by the defendan, as Col.
lector Of the Port Of New-York on several in.
voices Of sugar and molasscs imported by the
plaintiffs from the Island OF St. Croix.
The Island Of St. Croix is a possession
Of Denmark, and between Denmark
and the United States there has existed since
1857 treaty which contains the following
stipulation: "No higher OF other duties shall
be imposed on the importation into the United
States Of any article the produce or manu-.
facture Of the dominion Of his Majesty the King
Of Denmark than are or shall be payable on the
like articles being the produce OF manufacture
OF any other foreign country. The plaintiffs
claimed that the as United States in 1875
made atreaty with the Hawaiian Islands where.
by the sugars and molasses of those islands
were admitted free Of duty the foregoing clause
in the treaty with Denmark rendered it
incumbent that the sugars and molasses of that
country should also be admitted free. Judge
Wallace, after an exhaustive review of the law
and presidents bearngon the case, says. "The
meaning Of the stipulation is that there shall be
no unfriendly discrimination in the imposition Of
duties between the products of Denmark and
those oiothercountnes;the stipuationis satisfied
when there is no discrimination, according to
the rule and policy observed with foreign ma.
tons in general. " The Judge then calls affection
to the facts that similar stipulations exist in
upward Of 30 treaties between the United
States and other powers. II the stipulation in
the Danishtreaty operated as the plaintiff claim,
the like stipulation in The other treaties would
also operate in the same way, and the result
would be far reaching abrogatiou OF our Gus.
toms laws. This proposition, remarks the
Judge, "is too startling to be entertained F"
judgement is given for the defendant upon the
demurrer. York Times, Jan ~.

THE HAWAXAN TREATY

ar. B0MosfS minority yefo,f on tie ieial
- ,esolnfion P'ovsding tor as diSfosfiawana.
Jan. ao.-Mr Belmont, from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, submitted his own minority
opinion in regard to the joint resolution repor.
ted to the House from that committe on January
10, 1883, providing conditionally for the termi
nation Of the treaty Of the United States with
the hawaiian'governmcnt signed June 3, 1875.
Alter brief statement Of the case MIR. Bel
mont proceeds to consider what the treaty
stipulaies, and comes to the conclusion that il
provides Tor the importation Of sugar into the
United States from the Hawaiian Islands in all
cases where the customs officers are satisfied.
That the sugar is the growth and manu-.
tacture Of the Hawaiian Islands.
That it comes within the phrase, ''Mus.
covado, brown and all other unreined sugars. -
That il is OF the grade commonly imported
from the Hawaiian Islands before 1875 as
Sandwich Islands sugar and of the grade
known In the markets OF San Francisco and
Portland as Sandwich Islands sugar"
Mi. Belmont then considers the questions
raised by the proposed legislation looking 10
the termination Of the treaty and says,--
The joint resolution reported by a majority
Of the committee will, II adopted by Congress,
be direction to the President to cary ON
negotiation with foreign Power upon a pre-.
scribed line, accompanied by any implied me
mace tothat foreign government that IL the ne.
gotiation fails the American government will
give notice OF termination sHovidcd for by the
NTH article OF the treaty. Would Congress
direct such menace to be addressed, under
such circumstance, to great Power like Ger
many o. Great Britain There are, as il
seems to me, grave objections TO such proposed
interference by the houses Of Congress with the
treaty making mower
II the joint resolution should pass the two
houses and be approved by the President, his
approval would be an expression VI his acquies.
esnce IN the necessity and propuety Of the
prescribed diplomatic action. But Il. in his
opinion, II were not expedienl To enter upou
the proposed line OF negotiation then he nigh,

which veto might raise an announcement issue
between the treaty making power and Con.
gress.

How Phil. sheridan Looks.
Cleveland Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
found him this morning in the seat
SO lately occupied by bluff Tecumseh
Sherman. 1t is one of the best rooms
in the war department building. 1t
looks out upon Pennsylvania avenue
just across from Corcoran's art gallery,
and from its east windows you have
good view of the white house grounds.
The room is large and it is hung with
oil paintings of western views, the
taste of Sherman who liked nothing
better than life on the plains. The
general sits at a desk in the east end of
the room, and Sheridan was sitting
there as | entered to-day. He rose to
meet me aud | paid my respects as
those of the Leader in due form.
Sheridan looks much more like
soldier than Sherman. He is very
erect though short and fat, and his air
is martial and commanding. Ho
dresses better than Sherman and looks
rs though he takes more care of his
personal appearance. He has a large
face, n broad, full forehead and fat
cheeks of a dark red. He wears no
beard, but his moustache, gray and
well-trimmed, is decidedly handsome.
He is by no means n bad-looking man,
this new head of the army. He has "a
brave look, and, though his face bears
many a wrinkle, as though much caro-
had devolved upon him, it is very
pleasant one. His eyes form its chief
characteristic. They are gray, small
and sharp as needle. They seem TO
look right through you, and they al
ways look right at you when he is
talking. They show you that they
have soul behind them, and if their
owner is angry they can, as the blood
and thunder novel says, glare with u
look of baleful hate. General Sheri-
dan has short, stiff, gray hair, smooth
ly combed, broad shoulders, and short,
heavy legs. He would, | think, look
bigger on horseback than on foot, and
| doubt not that rs cavalry command
or he presented very striking appear

1t is whispered that something is to
be done for Gen. Fremont this winter
Just what that "something" is to be,
or is intended to be, is yet uncertain.
A good many friends of the old path
finder" think, however, that he ought
to be placed beyond want, and it seems
as though he ought. He is now living
in New York, with his noble wife, both
of them far advanced in years, but
both the objects of marked attention

however, that they have accumulated
very little, and plan ia on foot to ask
congress to do something Tor the
general in acknowled dSement tor his
distinguished SEW ces. Probably the
plan agreed upon among his friends
will be to ask that lie be reinStated in
his position as major.general of the
army, and then placed on the retired
list. 1t is understood that the Pres
tons and the Blajrs and other prOmi-
nent democrats will lend their aid, 80
that their will not come much oppoSi-
tiOn from the democratic side, and as
for the republicans, they surely will
not object to this much recognition for

CarOlinian by education, he ought to
| find some favor at the hands Of the

of compliance with the homestead laws
up to the time of making proof
That notice of intention 10 make final
proof under the homestead and pre-
emption laws required by the act OF
March 3, 1879, shall not be given nor
shall final proof under said laws be
made until after twelve months from
the time when the entry or filing was
recorded in the local laud office, as
provided by law irrespective of the
date of settlement on the land prior TO
such entry or fling. That the first
section of the act of May Ia, 1880,
providing for acceptance by local land
officers relinquishments of public lands,
entries and re-entry OF land without
action by the commissioner of the

Mrs. Garfield has decided TO retain
for the present the family residence in
this city on Thirteenth and / streets.
4 short time since n suggestion was
made that it be purchased for the
pastor of the Christian church and pre-
sented to him simultaneously with the
occupation Of the Gal field Memorial
Church edifice on Vermont avenue.
Several handsome subscriptions were
promised, and one wealthy gentleman
agreed TO give $4,000 as his contribu-
ton if tho purchase could be made.
Mrs. Garfield was written to on tho
subject, when she replied that shortly
after the death of the lato President
she had been inclined to dispose of the
property, but now she felt reluctant to
do so. The longer part of her married
/ fe, she said, had been spent in the
house, and the as associations and memo
ties which clung to it were of such
character that she did not feel like let
ting it go out of her hands. The house
is now under rent to a gentleman who
uses it mostly for a picture gallery.
