Treaty Wilh Russia.

The treaty nindo with Russia has been in prowas of negotiation some time. On Monday of Ja.it week the Russian Minister called on Mr. Seward, saying the Emperor had directed him not to sign the treaty. The price offered Russia hod been seven millions. Mr. Seward immediately offered him a quarter of a million moro, and offered to pay the whole in gold the moment the treaty was concluded. Monday evening tho Russian Minister telegraphed tho new offer to the Kmperor, and Friday evening received an answer accepting. Mr. Seward and tho Minister went at .once to tho State Department, worked till near morring, finisholthe treaty an .1 took it to the President at the Capitol. At nine o'clock Saturday the President read and signed it and" Bent it to tho Senate at ten. Thero has been much difficulty in getting the title clear of all claims of otbor parties and other eomp&nics, but tho treaty gives *ueh title. One clause of the treaty is significant, declaring one purpose of it to be to strength«cw, if it be possible to strengthen, tho good understanding between Russia and the United

States, .» Tho boundary of the ceded territory begins on 4ho coast at fifty-four degrees forty minutes, runs inland ten marine leagues, follows at that distance jfrom the coast northwardly, to tho hundred and iforty-first meridian thence on that meridian to ?thc polo thence Southwardly following the jinaiu channel through Behring Straits, between £t. Lawrence Island and Asia theuce southward ly to tho western island of tho Alution chain thcnce southeastwardly to the placa of beginning.

All islands within these lines aro coded to the United States. It is known that cod, halibut, seal ecd whalo Cshorics are more valuable than those on the New Foundland coast, and that it contains the most valuable fur regions of the contiu'ent, The climate is milder than in tho same latitude '»n tho Atlantic coast.

Congress.

Gen. Butler brought to light, in a debato this afternoon, tho facts on which Gov. Eoutwell's resolution relative to tho pardon of deserters was .Mounded, lie said that while doing his »duty as Chairman of tho Board of Managers of the National Asylum for Disabled Soldiers, he discovered that about $75,000 of money which should have been subjcct to his order, had, by direction of tho President, been transferred to another fund. This led him to make a thorough investigation, when he found that some time last fall the Democratic Congressional nominee in tho Second District of West Yirginr i'a, made out, or had made out. a list of 193 deeerter.% from the Unibn army, •and sent it to the President with a letter, saying if they were pardened and restored to their pay and allowances, they would all vote ihe Johnson ticket. '•This list and letter were laid before "..the President by Col. Thomas B. Florence, of this city, and every one of the deserters was thereupon pardoned without other proof or question, and pay and allowances to tho amount of $70,000 were made over to them. Tho pardon orders for the same were delivered to Col. Florence, who received $1,000 for his services in the case from tho claim agent who had it in charge.

It camo out in the debate following this statement by Gen. Butler, that the whole matter had been laid before the Impeachment Committee, and the Democratic members thereof denounced Butler in strong terms for speaking of tho subject in open House. One of them attempted to convey tho idea -that there is another side to the story, but Butler said his statement had been eworn toby a Brigadier General of the •army and partiesontsido of Congress, who aro conversent with the matter, say it can bo substantiated beyond a doubt before any civil court.

Bully for Sheridan.

General SHERIDAN has righteously exercised the power vested in him by the reconstruction measures of Congress, by removing JOHN T. MONROE from the office of Mayor of New Orleans, ANDREW S. H*RRON from the office of Attorney General of the

State of Louisiana, and EDMUND ABELL from the office of Judgo rf the First District Court, of "New Orleans.

ffTIheso

men won an immortality of

infamy as the instigators of tho borrifclo butchery of June 30, 1866, and richly deserve ths ballei*a as well as removal from the offices vhey d?scraccd. Thanks to a resolute and patriotic Congress, tho roign of assassins has been brought to a close in the cities of tho South, and our loyal military coramandcrs will no longer bo compelled to witness with folded arms the wholesale slaughter of Union citizens.

Returned'

General R. Kise who had received an apppointment as First Lieutenant in the 25th United States Infantry, returned Tuesday, from Memphis, at which point he had joined his command. He has tendered his resignation and receieved leave of absence until the action of the War Department. The General reports the rebellious sentiment in thelocalicy of Memphis as being largely in tho ascendency. It is really unsafe for the blue uniforms to walk the streets unarmed. While ho waB thero an officer of his regiment was insulted and stabbed by

rebel and recovery is doubtful. We think ho is almost Radicalized. He may now be found in his offico ready to transact all business.—Lebanon Patriot.

PLATED OUT.—ThoSupremoCourt of Indiana has recently declared that mutual insurance companies are not authorized by law to make assessments to defray expenses, or for other purposes than to pay losses and in consequcnce of the decision, several suits commenced in the Dearborn Common pleas Court to enforce the collection of assessments have been withdrawn. As noDG of the Indiana mutuals have collected a sufficient per centage of premiums in cash to pay salaries and LpTnsea, holders of their policies need have little fear of being bothered with assessments in future, and wo may $ look for a speedy removal of these unmitigated nui.ear.c58.—^-Aurora

Commer

Taxation of United States Treasury Rotes. A decision has recently been given by Judge Bicknell, of tho New Albany Circuit, on the question of taxation of legal tendor United States Treasury notes which ought to and we trust will havo ft healthy influence in preventing a practice of defrauding the fetato revenuo that has reached proportions so large as to embrace a large portion of tho capital of our taxpayers that consists of ready money.

In the expectation of therebj' exciting prejudice against tho Union party and the legislation of its representatives in Congress, the Democratic stump orators and Democratic newspapers of this State, as early as 1864, took the ground that Congress had exempted all currency issued by the authority of the United States from taxation under tho laws of the State. This naturally led the moneyed men of that party to disregard the State law requiring every -tax-payer to include in his list of taxable property all money on hand or on deposit on the first day of January proceeding and millions of dollars havo thus escaped taxation.

It was in vain that tho Auditor of State issued his instructions to county assessors that mone}Ton hand, whether in tho form of legal tender notes or otherwise, was subject to taxation, and should bo included in tho assessments of taxable property. The amount of cash in a man's poekct was known

011I3-

to himself, tho assesor

must tako his sworn statement, and I the Democratic nabob decided, on the high authority of Hon. Mr. Blowhard, his favorite political spouter, that greenbacks wcro not money, or if they were, an abolition Congress has do clared that the State should not tax them. Usually a stickler for State rights and advocate of Stato supremacy, he readily conceded tho right of Congress to protect National currency from State taxation, and was so much in favor of the power that ho gladly accopted tho assurance of Mr. Blowhard that it had in fact been exercised.

This cunning devico to mako political eapital and at the same timo dodge tho tax laws has boon overthrown by tho decision of Judge Bicknell.

He decided that no notes issued by tho United States as "lawful monoy," are exempt from State municipal taxation, except those issued undr authority of March 3, 1S63, for the reason that no other is declared by Congress to bo exempt, and it requires an express statute to protect them from taxation.—Indianapolis Journal.

The Warsaw Murder—Particulars of the Crime ot If art, at Warsaw, Indiana.

Lawrenco Hart, of Warsaw, Indiana, one of the most attrocious murderers of tho day, par nobile fratrum with Lindsey. passed through the city on Saturday, en route for liosciusko county, in charge of officer Jackson Courtlcy, of that county, by whom Hart was arrested, near Mount Yernon, Ohio, .on Friday. He was found at his sister's. The particulars of the murder with which ho is charged are thus given

About six weeks iigo, Lawrence Hart, took from tho poor-house at Warsaw, a boy four years old, named Winfield Hinos. Threo weeks afterward the child was missing. Its mother made inquiry as to what had become of it, and was told that it had been given away to a man living in Ohio. .Not satisfied with this, she succeeded in interesting some prominent citizens in the matter, who began to mako an investigation whereupon, Hart having fled, after a long search, the mangled body of tho child was fotind in an old well. At the Coroner's inquest, Hart's wife testified and others testified that, from the very first, Hart's treatment of the child was brutal and cruel in tho extreme that he whipped and beat it without mercy almost,1"' if not quite, every day, and that otv one occasion he spent nearly a whole day in torturing it in every way the most hellish wantonness could suggest, first whipping it with a leather strap, then with a strip of board, until it was not able to walk, and then put it down in the cellar, where it laid down in the damp and chilly air and went to sleep. Then ho took tho poo? child from the udlar aud plunged its head into cold water cancelled it to remain out of doors until its i'uec T^cro frozen. He then took it into tho iiuilCC, hung it up in the stairway by m.eans of a strap passed around tho body, and held coals of fire on a shovel under its feet. After torturing it in this manner for a while, he took it down and made it walk the floor backward and forward, occasionally striking it with a horse-whip, until it fell at last exhausted and senseless on the floor.

It further appeared that tho day the child died, Hart whipped it first, out of doors, with a stick of some kind, until it was so cxhansted that it fell asleep at the table while they were eating breakfast. Upon this Hart flew into a rage,'"D—n you, I will see if I can't keep you awake," and thereupon seized a horsewhip and whipped tho child for some time, and finally struck it a severo blow on the temple, either with his fist or the butt of the whip, and knocked its head against a stairway, causing two more severe bruises on the back part of its head.

He then allowed his wife to put the child to bed, and she states that she tried to restore it, but it died that night, when Hart took the body away.

There is great excitement in Ivosciusco county, and a reward of five hundred dollars was offered by the County Commissioners for the arrest of Hart.

Tllo Bedford Independent says that during the speech of*A^oorhees, last week, in the Sanders murder case, the learned counsel quote.d.£opiously from the plays of Sbakepesune, amoug others "Macbeth." It is related that one of tho "gentleman of the jury" inquired of a companion, upon retiring from the court room, "Who is that Mister Macbeth, Dan, was telling about I never heard of him beforo doofl ho livo in this State?''

Alleged Hatred Toward Southern Peopie. It has been a staple topic, of Democratic complaint against the Republican party, that it is possessed of a feeling of malignant hatred of the people of tho South. Every step taken, every measure devised for securing peace, protection and justice to tho Unionists of the rebel States, and to reorganize those communities in a manner consonant with the future quiet and prosperity of tho nation, has been ascribed to a desire on tho part of Congress to oppress, impoverish and humiliate tho South. But events are proving, nay, havo proved, that tho great Republican. Union party contains tho best, if not tho only real friends the pcoplo of tho South have.

Through the agency of tho Freedmen's Bureau the poor of all colors havo been fed, thus saving them from starvation and preventing the depopulation of large sections of country temporarily deprived of tho means of subsistence. Recently, Congress has given enlarged powers in this particular to General HOWARD, the Christian soldier at tho head of the Bureau, and under his benevolent administration the helpless will be succored to tho full extent of tho means placcd at his disposal.

The amended tax law enacted b}~ the 39th Congress reduced tho excise on cotton sixteen per ccnt measures are now pending in Congress to lend material aid to Louisiana as soon as she shall reorganize hcl* government in the manner required by the SHERMAN bill, to rebuild the levees along the MISSISSIPPI, which wcro destroyed during tho war and but a day or two ago Senator CAMERON, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution to distribute §50,000 worth of seeds among tho people of the rebel States, which is likely to pass unless prevented by an early adjournment.

This is tho kindness shown to these people by Republicans. We give them bread and tho means of living by future industry Democracy gives them dissertations on tho loveliness of tho Caucasian race, and affects to satisfy tho hungry b}r feeding them on the secession doctrine of Stato Rights, which led to tho rebellion and the present helpless condition of tho South.—Ind. Journal.

Tho latest sensation in Terre Haute is tho fact that on Tuesday evening a man living in tho upper part of town was married to his mother-in-law.

Murder an|! Lyinching at Sedalia. Tho town cf Sedalia was thrown into excitement on Saturday afternoon last, by the murder of John Geimcr, a citizen of Sedalia. The cold-blooded deed was perpetrated by Joo Woods, ono of Bacon Montgomery's men. Without any provocation or previous difficulty, so far as known, Woods shot Geimer through tho breast, killing him instantly. Immediately after the occurrence the citizens caught Woods, put a rope around his neck, and after beating hun almost to death, the}' dragged him through tho town, and finally hung him, after which, to mako "assurance doubly sure," they shot him through the bead. Ho was dragged until not a particlo of clothing was left on him, and the track the whole distance stained with blood. He was nearly dead when hung up.

A private letter relating to tho fact? •states that no ono knows who killed Woods. An inquest was held, and the verdict of the Coroner's jury was that "Joe Woods camc to his death by tho hands of persons unknown tothojury.

The bod3r hung stark-naked until 0 o'clock on Suaday morning, and was fro zen. Mr. Woods was a sergeant under Bacon Montgomery, and was charged with robbing Mr. Mitchells, a banker in Lexington, and participating in other crimes and outrages by tho militia at that place. Mr. Geimcr was formerly a porter at Weil & Brothers of this city, lie was engaged in bu siness at Sedalia, and was respected by all who know him.—3Iissouri liejniblican of 27 th.
