Sumner* The speech of Charlot Sumner, of Massa? chusetts, in executive session of the Senato, on April 13,1869, on the Johnson-Clarendon treaty for the settlement of claims, is given to the public, the iujnnotion of secrecy hav? ing been removed by order of the Senate. The speech is of great length, and opens as follows: Mr. Sumner.-Mr. President, a report recommending that the Senate do not ad? vise and consent to a treaty with a foreign power, duly signed by the plenipotentiary of the nation, is of rare occurrence. Trea? ties are often reported with amendments, and sometimes without any recommenda? tion, but I do not recall an inst unce, since I came into the Senate, where such a treaty has been reported with the recommendation which is now under consideration. Tho oharacter of the treaty seemed to justify the exceptional report. I do not disguise the importance of this act; but I believe that in the interest of peace, which every one should have at heart, the treaty must be rejected. A treaty which, instead of removing an existing grievance, leaves it for heart-burning and rancor, can not be considered a settlement of pending questions between two nations. It may seem to settle them, but does not. It is nothing but a snare. And such is the char? acter of the treaty now before us. The massive grievance under which our country suffered for years is left nntouohed; tho painful sense of wrong planted in the na? tional hear is allowed to remain. For all this, thsre is not one word of regret or even of recognition; nor is there any semblance of compensation. It cannot be for the in? terest of either party that suoh a treaty should be ratified. It cannot promote tho interest of tho United States, for wo naturally seek justice as the foundation of a good understanding with Great Britain; nor can it promoto tho interest of Great Britain, which must also seek a real settlement of all pending ques? tions. Surely I do not err when I say that a wise statesmanship, whether on our side or on the other side, must apply itself to find tho real root of evil, and, then, with oourage tempered by candor and modera? tion, see that it is extirpated. This is for the interest of both parties, and anything short of it is a failure. Mr. Sumner then analyses the provisions of the treaty, and say?: While doing so little for us, the treaty makes ample provision for all known claims on the British side. As these are exclusively "individual," they are completely covered by the text, which has no limitations or ex? ceptions. Already it is announced in Eng? land that even thoso of "Confederate bond? holders" are inelnded. I have before mo an English journal which describes the latter claims as founded on "immense quantities of cotton, worth at the time of their seizure nearly two shillings a pound, which were in the legal possession of these bond-holders;" and the same authority adds: "These claims will be brought, indifferently with others, before the designed joint commission, when? ever it shall ait." From another quarter I learn that these bond-holders are "very sanguine of success under thc treaty as il is worded, and certain it is that the loan went up from 9 to IO, as soon as it waa ascertained that tho treaty was signed." I doubt if the American peo? ple aso ready just now to provide for any such claims. That they have risen in thc market is an argument against the treaty. Close upon the outbreak of our troubler, just one month after the bombardment of Fort Sumter, when the rebellion was still undeveloped, when the National Govern? ment was beginning those gigantic efforts which ended so triumphantly, tho country was startled by the news that the British Government had intervened by a proclama? tion which accorded belligerent rights to tho rebels. At the carly date when this was done, the rebels were, as they remained to the close, without ships on the ocean, with? out prize courts or other tribunals for the administration of justice on the ocean without any of those conditions whicJiare the essential prerequisites to sucJt a concession; and yet the concession was general, being appli? cable to the ocean and the laud, so that by British fiat they bocahio ocean belligerents as weil as land belligerents. In the swift? ness of this bestowal, there was very little consideration for a friendly power; nor does it appear that there waa any inquiry into those conditions precedent on which it mu?t depend. Ocean belligerency being a "fact," and not a "principio," can be recognized I only on evidence showing it? ?c?u?t existence, J according to tho rulo, first stated by Mr. Canning, and afterward recognised by. Earl j Russell. Bot no mich evidence wfts nd dneed; for it did not exist and never -has : existed. Had not the concession of belligerency I boen made, no. rebel ship could have been ' built in Eugland. Every step in her build? ing would have boen piracy. Nor could any munitions of war nave been furnished. The direct cons?quence of this concession was to place th? rebels on an equality with ourselves in nil British markets, whether of ships or munitions of war. As these were opon to the national government, so wore they opon to the rebels. The nsserted neutrality be? tween the two bogan by this tremendous concession, when rebelH, ut* one stroke, wero transformed not only into belligerents, but into customers. The only justi?eation that I have hoard for this extraordinary concession is that President Lincoln undertook to proclaim a ! blockade of the rebel ports. By tho uso of ? this Word "blockade," tho concession is vin 1 dicated. Hud President Lincoln proclaimed a closing of the rebel ports, there could havo been no such concession. This is a more technicality. But we must look at tho substauce and find a reason in nothing short of overruling ne? cessity. War cannot bo justified merely on a technicality; nor can tho concession of ocean belligerency to rebels without n port or prize court. Such a concession, like was itself, must bo at the peril of the nation making it. The British assumption, besides being offensive from mero technicality,is inconsist? ent with the proclamation of the President, taken as a whole, which, while appointing a blockade, is careful to reserve the rights of sovereignty, thus putting foreign powers on their guard against any premature conces? sion. Mr. Sumner considers this branch of the subject at length. Tho " matter of repara? tion " and the " extent of our losses" aro entered into minutely also. THE HI"Ll'. DAMAGES. Perhaps I.oughtto anticipate an objection from the other side to tho effect that these national losses, whether from the destruc? tion of our commerce or the prolongation of tho war, are indirect and remote, so as not to be a just cause of claim. This is expressed at tho common law hy tho rule that "damages must be for tho natural and proximate consequences of an Act." (2 Greenleaf, Ev., p. ?10.) To this excuse the answer is explicit. The damages suffered by tho United States are twofold, individual and national, being in each case direct and proximate, although in the ono case individuals Buffered, and iu the other cuso the nation. It is easy to seo that there may be occa? sions where, overtopping all individual da? mages, are damages suffered by the nation, so that reparation to individuals would bo sufficient; nor can tho claim of tho nation bo questioned simply because it is largo, or be? cause the evidence with regard to it is dif? ferent from that in the caso of au individual. In each caso the damage must be proved by tbe best possible evidence, and this is all that law or reason can require. In the caso of the nation the evidence is historic, and this is enough. Impartial history will re? cord the national losses from British inter? vention, and it is only reasonable that the evidence of these losses should not be ex? cluded from judgment. Because the caso is without precedent, because no nation ever before received such injury from a friendly power, this can bo no reason why tho case should not be considered on the evidence. -o Gallows literature seems to be by far the most popular reading that can bo offered to the people of Philadelphia. A journal of that city boasts that one of its cotempora ries was obliged to reprint on Thursday its edition of tho doy previous, containing the particulars of tho suicide of Twitchell and the execution of Eaton, while another printed and sold an edition of 95,000 copies containing its versou of the delectable events. Manifestly a case of murder with its attendant horrors is ? "sweet boon" to the mild-mannered inhabitants of tho "city of brotherly love.'* ( "That Cough will Kill you!" Try "tOSTAU'S" Cough Remedy.

Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and un? felt tenant of th? organism, undermines thc con? stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling cr fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout the body, aud then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on tho surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may bo sud? denly deposited iu the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in tho liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of the bodv.

H peaks as follows: "Tli o ri-- oan bo no doubt of the general adulte? ration of all malt liquors. In England and other omi tries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to det?ct and punish such frauds, by a system of inspection of all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, tho practice is very common. How much more lu this country, where tbero are no laws on the subject, and no officer to carefully analyze tho products of tho orowery? Boni o years ago, Pro? fessor Mnpee, of New York, analyzed the beer from a dozon different breweries, aud all were found adulterated with noxious substances. It is said that the pale of drugs to brewers, is a profit? able part of the trade. This is perfectly infamous. Cocculus indiens, (?sh-berry,) uux v?mica, (dog button, from which strychnine is obtained,) are some of tho delect able substances found in beer! These uro potent poisons, and the brewer found using thom should bo drowned at onro in one of bis own vats. Tho British Parliament passed a law to prevent this nefarious business. Tho fol? lowing ia nn extract: *No druggist, vendor of or dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dosier in or lclailer of beer, knowing them to bo such, or shall sell or deliver to any person on account of, or in trnst for, any such brewer, dealer, or re? tailer, any liquor called by the naroo of or sold for coloring, from whatever "material t! ' same may bc made; or any material or prcpai ion other than UDground brown malt, for the darkening tho color of worts or beor, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, coccnlus indicus, grains of para? dise, Guinea pepper, or opium, or any extract or preparation of molasses, or any art icio or prepa? ration to bo used in worts or beor for or as a sub? stitute for malt or hops; and if any druggist shall offend in any of these particulars, such prepara? tion, Ac, shall be forfeited, and may bo seized by any ofticor of excise, and thc person so offending shall forfeit fica hundred pounds.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brew? ers, wero brought to grief, and yet tho practice continues. Unless tho American public aro ready to admit tho immaculate purity and innocence of American brewers, they must bo content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they are at tho samo time guzzling some narcotic poi? son or damaging medicine. In view of the unpre? cedented growth of tho barley crop; of the great incroaao of the number of maltsters and brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of beer tbat are drunk in every city and almost every town on the continent; it is the dictate of sound wisdom, that tho attention of legislators should bo called to tho subject of tho adulteration of our malt liquors, and severe penalties should bo inflicted as a pre? ventive."
