The Treaty ot Washington.
' Because of the im perfect oess of "some
of the provisions of the Treaty of Wash
ington, which has been submitted to the
U. S. Senate, now in extraordinary ' ses
sion, and to prevent aoy misunderstand-
or dissatisfaction in the future
between the two . countries, amendments
will bo offeredr by Senators : ta several of
these provisions. One of the prominent
objections to the treaty, the dispatches
inform us, is that the San Juan question
is to- be submitted to the arbitration of the
Emperor of Germany; The recent re
ported indisposition of Emperor William
suggests that in the event of bis death,
his son, Frederick William, would succeed
to the thTone, and thus take the place of
his fatherus arbitrator, should the question
not be settled during the present Empe
ror's life. This view of the matter is con
sidered unfortunate, as the Prince, hav
ing married Victoria Adelade, Queen Vic:
toria's daughter, might be influenced in
his deeision of the question by his family
relations." In consequence of this and
other amendments that will be offered
and the discussion consequent thereon

In the address of the Democratic
Slembers of Congress, the following par
agraph appears :
Nearly 200,000,000 acres of pul.lie land wliich
should have been, reserved for the benefit of the
people, have been voted away to giant corpora
tions, neglecting oar soldiers and enriching
handful of greedy speculators and lobbyists, who
are enabled to exercise a most dangerous and cor
rupting influence over State and federal legisla
tion. .,
In commenting upon the above, the
Washington correspondent ot the Sentt
net tells some wholesome truths, which
veracious Members of Conarress should
read, so that when they again issue
Uemocratic mauitesto, tbey may be en
abled to do so undcrstandingly, adherin
as closely to the truth as their Democrat
io bias will allow :
What are the facts ? Tirst, The grants made for
Kailroaa and Canal improvements while tbe De
mocracy had exclusive control of every branch of
tbe Uovernmcnt, amounted to d J, 07,-1 J acres
Second, of the grauts for such improvements sinoe
the Kepubhcaug attained power there nave been
granted to states not private corporations an
estimated aggregate of 33, Sat ,96b acres. Third,
The grants to corporations, have been made
the three great trans-continental lines only, as
follows: (estimated) To the Union sad Central
Pacific, 3i. 00,000 acres ; Northern Paci6c, 4
000,000; Northern Pacific Branch, 11,000,000
Atlantic and Pacific,- (.Southern) 2,000,000 : to
tal 113,000,000, making the grants to corporation
87,000,000 of acres leas than stated by those vera
cious llemocratic Congressmen. An examination
of the record discloses the fact, that in proportion
'to their numbers, tna .Democrats supported
these grants as strongly as the Republicans, lie-
side?, it will be conceded by every person of or
dinary intelligence, that the rein amine acres
the public domain will be worth vastly more to
the people with theso roads constructed, than
would the whole without these essential improve
ments. The fertile plains and exhaust less nuue
ral resources of tbe interior were inaceea.- ible and
practically worthless to the masses of the people
in the sbwnre of these t-reot national pathways.
So macfa for tba false statement of tbe l)emocrtic
Congressmen ; and now, as to the facts they failed
to state ; for to withhold or overstate the facts,
is equally false, both in law and morals :
Tbey neglected to state that, when in full pos
session of power they passed a graduation act by
which millions of acres ot accessible and valuable
public lands passed into the hands of -"greedy spec
ulators" at tbe nominal price oi twelve ana a nair
to twenty-five cents per acre ; and that the Re
publicans promptly repealed that infamous stat
ute.
They neglected to state that, when controlling
every branch of the Government, they passed the
so-called swamp land statute, under which, more
than 60,000,000 acres, much of which was, and is
the best land in the older States, has become the
property of "greedy speculators'' at merely nom
inal prices.
Tney neglectea to state to at, lor twenty years tney
had designedly, in the interest of the stave master
refused to adopt'-the Homestead principle ; and,
that the Republicans at tbe nrst regular session
after their accession to power, passed toe Home
stead law which they still continue in force.
They neglected to state tba:,; by nepuoucan
votes ouly, were our soldiers supplied in the field,
sensioned when disabled, ana given a nomcsieau
upon the public domain at the nominal cost of oc
eupaney and cultivation. , " ;
Tbey neglected to state, when speaking of cor
rupting "State and Federal legislation," thnt tbe
Terv magnates or their party had just eioseu a
contract for the open purchase of the control of the
legislature of tbe Umpire btate, demonstrating by
a concurrent and conspicuous example, mat this
address is, in all its parts, but the silly dodge of
the ennuaal wbo raises tbe cry ot "stop tbiet, ' to
cover bis own retreat.

' Aa Extract
From the speech of Hon. . James .II.
Piatt; Jr., of Virginia, on the "Bill : for
the enforcement of the Fourteenth
Amendment, delivered in Congress on
te 5th of April, 1871 : ' :
Mr. Speaker, is there' any one who believes
that were this thine reversed, and these outrages,
which are being committed upon the friends of
th Administration in the Southern States, were
being committed by Republicans upon Ileino-eratio-:
States with a Democratic majority in
both branches of Congress, a, Democratic Presi
dent, and an army and navy in their handg
that a ' Temoeratie- vngress would fail to find
constitutional warrant for extending protection to
weir ; mends, although the State authorities,
through weakness, treachery or cowardice, should
fail to call for assistance from the General Gov
ernment ? . I be whole history of that party for
bids such a opposition ; and in their days of
power they gave us a precedent which is sufficient
lustincation to me lor the votes i. snail give on
this bill and such amendments as may be offered.
Is there any gentleman on the Democratic side of
this House wbo is willing to admit that tne
fugitive-slave law of . 1850 was unconstitutional .'
I do not believe there is ; and as one Republican
member' from tbe 6 'uth, I am willing to take
that lav-r-and changing its wording, somewhat,
o as to make tbe r rents and privileges to be
protected these of loyal men and free American
citizens, instead of those of slaveowners find in
it alt the protection which, as loyal citizens of the
eoutn, we demand iroin in government, wniou
owes us tbe fullest nrotection its laws can extend.
- Tbe constitutionality of such a law conld not be
questioned, for it was affirmed in 1850 by the
entire Democratic party, and by the united and
solid vote of that party eS' tbia floor, fbreed
through th House under the operation; of tbe
previous question, no opportunity for debate or
amendment being permitted by the then Demo
cratic majority. Its constitutionality was main
tained and defended by the party that enacted it
as long as they continued in power, and affirmed
again and again by the United. State courts,
then presided over by Democratic judges. I de
sire to call the attention of tbe House to the ro
markable- provisions of this constitutional Dents-
crauc law this act, entitled. "An act to amend,
., eosamoalr known j "the fueitive-slarelaw,
which passed . in this Uoosa ia September. 1&50,
having previously passed in the Senate.' Its first
section provides for the appointment commis
sioners by tba circuit courts to execute the
powers and duties prescribed by tbe act. : Section
three provides that the number of these commis
sioners ' should be extended at tbf discretion of the
court, and any number appointed that might be
deemed necessary in carrying out the provisions
v tueacb. ... , -. - -
Section four confers sqeJr remarkable ajad
diction with the - rudaee of the circuit ami - district
court of the United State in their re'ftcctiv cir
cuit ana atetrtctt tctfAut Ms teteral Xtatee and
the Judge of the nuperior court of the Territories,
eeteraittf ana cotieettvelif, tn term time ana vaca
tion, and shall grant certificates to such claimants
upon satisfactory proof being made, with author
ity to take and remove such fugitives from service
or labor to tbe State or Territory from which
such person may have escaped or fled."
- Section hve prescribes tbe duties ot marshals,
who may have any numbers of deputies, and pre
scribes penalties should . they refuse to obey or
execute all warrants or precepts issued under the
provisions 1 this act when- to- them uirectea ;
makes them liable to tbe full value of any slave
after arrest, and in language which. I will give as
it appears in the sectiun, confers still lnorejre-
markablo powers upon tbe commissioners. ; 1
quote from the section: "T"
; "Andtbe better to enable tna sa.a eommissio it
ers, when thus appointed,' to execute their duties
faithfully and efficiently, tn contormify-witu tne
requirements of the Constitution of the United
States and of this act, tbey arc hereby authorized
and empowered, within their counties respectively
to appoint, in writing under their bauds, anyone
or more suitable persons, lrom time to time, to
execute all such warrants and other process as
may be issued by them in the lawful performance
of their respective duties, with authority to such
commissioners, er the persons to be appointed by
IjUiem, to execute process as aforesaid, to summon
and call to their aid the by-standers or poetecom-
itatue of the proper tewiaty-' when .eeeMeary, to
insure a faithful observance of tbe provisions of
this act; and all good citizens are hereby com
manded to did and assbt in the prompt and
efficient execution of this law whenever their
services may be required, as aforesaid for that
purpose, and said warrants shall run and be exe
cuted by said officers anywhere in the State with
in which they ara issued. .
fcecuon 7 imposes fine and imprisonment on
any person who willingly hinders the arrest of a
fugitive or shall attempt to rescue one from cus
tody; or harbo - or aid to escape any fugitive from
slavery. '
Section 9 provides that when the claimant or
his ageat apprehend a rescue, tbe officer making
the arrest ia to remove the fugitive to the State
from whence he fled, and to employ as many
persons in doing so as he mayconsider necessary;
all the expenses to be paid by tbe Cr.ited States.
' Now. sir. bavin r quoted as much of this act as
I consider necessary to my purpose, let us see how
easily it can be adapted to the present condition
of affairs, and meet the requirements of tho loyal
men of the South, simply by so altering the text
as to make its provisions apply to .the prevention
of outraecs against life aud property instead of
to the catching and rendering up of fugitive
slswes.
!' Under its provisions, the United States circuit
courts could appoint as many commissioners as
they pleased to appoint in every county in their
respective .districts, and these commissioners
could in turn commission as many men as they
deemed necessary to execute their warrants;
would have all the powers of the circuit or dis
trict jndges in term time or vacation ; could issue
their warrant for the arrest of any citizen, and
the warrants would be good in any portion of the
State; could summon every man in the county to
assist in serving their processes, and if any refused
to obey their mandate, could line and imprison
them for so doing ; conld include in that poeee
comitatue such portion of the United States
forces, tbe army and navy -of the United States
as might be within the territory over which they
exercised jurisdiction, and would possess powers
more than ample to secure peace, aud the most
perfect protection to lile, liberty and property in
every State in the Union ; and the constitutional
power of Congress to confer these powers cannot
be doubted, for has not the party a h ?e represen
tatives on this, floor have so often assured us of
their devotion to the Constitution, stamped the
seal of approval npon all i's 'provisions, enacted
intolawall its principles, and enforced und main
tained that law by all the machinery ot the Gov
ernment? And the Democratic party, having
enacted this law and sustained its constitutionality
before the adoption of tbe am'-'ndments to the con
stitution which have certainly conferred some
new powers upon Congress, cannot, I presume
will not, attempt to question its constitutionality
now.
It was good Democratic constitutional law to
empower an unlimited number of comparatively
irresponsible United States marshals to use the
army and navy of the United States to enforce
United States laws when those laws were in the
interest of the Democratic party ; and now, sir,
we witness the remarkable spectacle of this party
which conferred such powers upon these men with
no apprehension of injury to State governments
with no fears as to any destruction of our liberties
with no doubts as to their entire constitutionali
ty now boldly denying that this Congress has
any constitutional, right to give the President of
tbe United States-power to use the army and navy,
of which he is the constitutional commander-in-chief,
in protecting American citizens from out
rage and death ; the party wbo, under tne fugi
tive slave law, marched United States soldiers
over the very spot where the first martyr for
AmeriesA liberty shed bis blood and the blood
of Christopher AHucks was as red- as yours or
mine, sir, tnoHgh his skinr was black.
The party who. sent their troops over tne spot
which his martyrdom bad eooseerated to foree
back into slavery one poor wretch who had suc
ceeded in flying to a land which be'supposed to
be a land of liberty the party that did this act
dares to. fell the American people that there is no
constitutional way to use tbe army or navy of the
United Slates iu protecting American citizens
from outrage and death, unless the Governor and
legislature of tbe State tn which these offences are
committed should call for assistance. Sir, I
have searched in vain for the call made by the
Governor "or legislature of Massachusetts for
troops to assist in the rendition of Anthony Barns.
every gentleniaa on this floor knows that the
United States soldier sent to that State by the
Democratic party to assist their blood-honnds in
tearing from Massachusetts soil that potr, tremb
ling fugitive, were not sent there at tbe request
of that State, but by virtue of tbe law passed by a
Democratic Congress, enforced by a Democratic
administration, and interpreted by a Democratic
Attorney General, whose rnterpretatioa baa been
sustained by the courts ; and I know tbe Ameri
can people well enough to know that no legal
sophistry can make them believe that it was con
stitutional to use tbe army and navy of the United
States in returning fugitives to slavery, but that
no constitutional means can be found to use these
agencies forthe protection of life, liberty, and prop
erty of fre American, citizens in every State iu
this Union; ' ' ' '-,
-Dispatches of the 17th from San Fran-
