States during the seme period—that is. paid by: the Wnited States, The New Treaty. The Joint’ High Commission is un. derstood to bave completed a treaty for the settlement of all questions of con~ troversy between Great Britain. and. the United States. It is called the “Treaty ef Washington,” and is on the whole favorable to the United States, and will secure the final adjustment of all differences. From the synopsis given in the Washington National Repudlicam, we learn that a tribunal of arbix« tration is constitated, to consist of five arbitrators, one appointed by the United States,one by Great Britain, and thé Other three each by a designated sovereign State in Europe or America. The treaty establishes special rules for neutral duty and obligation, in addition to generally received public law, which rules, although not admitted by the British Commissioners to have been in force at the time, are yet, it is agreed, to retract, and to govern the decisions of the tribunal of arbitration. This tribunal may either award damages in detail or in grows, at its discretion, or it may refer this ‘daty to a board of assessors sitting in the United States, It also shail report from time to time, with payment to be made accordingly. The British (ioverament’ trankly ex= presses its regret for the occurrences complained of by the United States. For the adjudication of all other claims of citizens of the United States against Great Britain or againat the United from the 13th of April, 1861, to the 9th of April, 1865, aa ordinary mixed commission is provided, to sit a} Washings ton, with an umpire to be nominated if necessary, by a designated frtenaty4 Pewer. This limitation of time is material in substance, for it confines the reclamation against the United States, to the incidents ot actual war. lt is accom punied also with a declaration on the‘part of the British Commissioners to the effeet of excluding claims on‘account of slave property, No claims of British subjects who resided in the South are to be allowed on account of cotton seizures, In regard to the fisheries, in addition to the liberty already secured to theim by treaty of 1818, fishermen of the United States shall hive the liberty to take sea fish on thé coast and shores, . and in the bays, harbors and creeks otf the provinces of, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and the colony of Prince Edward’s island and islands ads jacent, without being restricted to any distance trom shorwith permission to land upon svc y coasts, shores and islands, and also upon Magdalen ‘iss /defendant waived; and it was supposed . this heavy” stock on hand, his mills, lands, lor the purpose of drying their nets and curing. ‘their ‘fish, subject of course, in ¢his ‘respect, to the local rights of private property; and the. same liberty is granted to British subjects On the eastern sea coasts and shores of the United States north ot the thirty-ninth parallel of latitude. Thie treaty is not to inclade on either side shelb fsb, \6r salinon and ‘shad fish: eries in rivers atid ‘mouths of. rivers, It is turvher ‘agreed that fish oil ‘and fish of all kinds, except the fiah of inland lakes and their rivera, aud except fish preserved in oil, the :predace of fisheries im:the United States or‘of the Dominion of Canada, or of Prince Edward’s Island, shal! be admitted in each country respectively tree of ‘duty: The privileges thus conceded to ‘the United Scates are obviddsly most in portant oned) ‘It is ‘adsérted ‘by the British Government, but. is not admit. : ted’ by the United States, that the privileges sccorded to citizens of the Unt+ ted States are of greater value than those, accorded to subjects of Great . , Britain, and to “prevent ‘or avoid con~ troverey on thig paintyit is agreed that a mixed commission, with an umpire to be"appointed by a designated friend. ly power, Shall determine whether any compensation forsuch alleged excess of . privilege; and how much, ought ‘to be ; igation and commercial transit, which . sibjects of both couatries; by prov ing for the equal use of the Welland {aod St.-bawrenceand other canals; in the Dominion on the one hand, and of Lake Michigan and $t, Clair Flate and Canal on the other; by providing for the free transit of merchandise to and fro, as Well in the British possessions . as in the United States, and abolishing provisional export duty on American lumber on the river St. Joho. The northwest boundary question is to be submitted to the Emperor of Germany, each country to be permitted to produce evidence sustaining its claim: It will be remembered that the question at issue is, which of ‘the channels passing the island of San Juan is the line separating the two countries, The privileges accorded are consid» ered of the utmost importance to the United States, and they -have been ‘secured without acceding anything more than justly belongs to England. Is is fortunate for both countries that these troublesome qtestions liave been pat in . @ shape for settlement without an ap~ peal to arms, PoLITICAL Straws, — The recent municipal elections in this State show a strengthening of tbe Republican party, anda closing up of the franks for tle approaching contest. The same phenomenon is noted elsewhere, and even in Indiana a healthy and strong Republican sentiment is manifested in the recent jocal contests. The Indiannapolis Journal, Speaking of the election on the 2d inst., says: “The entire Republican city ticket is elected by majorities ranging between two hundred and nine hundred. General Macualay, our candidate for Mayor, Jeads the ‘ticket. His majority is 860. The Republicans elected their candidates in the First, Second, Third and Fourth wards, while the Democrats elected .n the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eight and Ninth wards. The Repubfidence, The Council now stands 10 Republicans to 8 Democrats, The Republicans of. Terre Haute, Lafayette, Logansport, Greencastle, Shelbyville and Conbversville have ulso achieved splendid Republican victories, and redeemed their cities frota Democratic smisrule and corruption. Tar Jackson Cask.—John Jackson, Sheriff of Prinity county, who was con‘victed in the. United States Circuit Court.of San Francisco, for collecting foreign miners license from Chinamen,: lias appealed ‘to the Supreme Court of the United States, The Circuit Court itnposed a nominal fine, $20; which the that the matter was thus ended.’. It taken before the highest tribunal ia the United States, thereto be fally and finally determined. ‘The prelintinary steps have alteady been taken for. this: purpose. Tue Cincinnati Gazette says vf the Lcpndition of affairs in the South ¢ “We are told’ that the way :to stop’these outrages is to put the Democratic party in power. The Democratic party ‘was in power when the rebellion was organiged. ft did not stop it. The ‘purpose of organizing the rebellion.

It is stated that mavy persons permit the wells to run waste. thus weakening the wells near this city and in the valley. There is uns doubtedly great force in this objection.
