DECISION BY TUE WASHINGTON TREATY COMMISSION-PROBABLE FAILURE OF THE MEXICAN REBELLION-CONGRESSIONAL, AO., AO. WASHINGTON, December 16.-Before the commission nuder the Washington treaty, in the case of Anthony Barclay es. the United States, the claimant al? leges that while a resident of Georgia, he did not intend to chango his alle? giance from Great Britain, but complied with the Queen's proclamation of neu? trality. He pleads the President's pro? clamation confiscating property passing from the insurrectionary to loyal States, and alleges varions acts of plunder by Sherman's forces, and the occupation of two of his plantation** bv Sherman'* or? der. Barclay olaims $275,000. The United States demur that the nets al? leged do not oonstitute a valid claim under the treaty; that they are not re? sponsible, and that the claimant, by domicile, is not entitled to olaim as a British subject under the treaty. The British counsel olaim that the wanton destruction of Barclay's property was not necessary, and tho incident was not justified by the laws of nations. ID ju? ries so inflicted are undeniably a proper subject for reclamation. In case of a neutral, the British oonnsel admit tem? porary allegianos, under certain circum? stances, to one power, but elaim perma? nent allegiance to another. When two oonfltot, thc temporary gives way to the permanent allegiance. The commission decides that the first question, whether the oommission have jurisdiction, de pend??,bpon whether the claimant is a British subject within the meaning of the treaty. This undoubted plea, that the claimant's residence in Georgia ex? cludes him from the treaty denied, the whole demurrer was disallowed. But the United States Government is at liberty, if they see fit, to take issue upon the foots alleged in the memorial. WASHINGTON, December 17.-The ex? tension of time by the Mexican and United States Commission <does not per? mit the presentatian of new olaims. The Spanish and Amerioan Commission has done nothing yet, on account of the difficulty in getting evidence, owing to the disturbed oondition of Coba.

The committee refuses to ex? tend time to Edwards, in Bowles vs. Edwards, from Arkansas. The Senate is disouBsing the Retrenchment Commit? tee.

In the Elections Committee of the Senato, only Morton favors Blodgett; the rest favor Norwood, in the contest from Georgia. WASHINGTON, December 18.-Anbnrn papers say that Seward is low, from paralysis. The latest Mexican advices represent that Juarez maintains a fearless attitude. He speaks confidently of crushing re? bellion. The Cabinet remains un? changed. The people complain that the opposition is directed more against the Cabinet than Juarez. The revolu? tion in the Western States is extending. Extraordinary powers bas been given Jasrist Governors of thc State. Bcsi* ness is prostrate and all industries are paralyzed. A United ?tates protecto? rate or annexation is boldly discussed aa the only solution. No important en? gagements are reported in the central or Western States. A World special, dated Oity of Mexioo, 9th instant, says the re? volution will probably bo a failure, as only two Statee have risen. There is no popular excitement. Diaz is a fugi? tive, and is closely pursued. The coun? try is only disturbed by robbers.

The proposed ootton tract IJ unbraces a large canal, by means of ' rhioh it is proposed to irrigate the im sense ootton field. This latter feature 1 R a novelty in ootton culturo in the | Tnited States, and adds additional inte est to the great California experiment. In the most affable manner in the por hi Capt. Gen. Valmasoda has relieved he cruel and blood-thirsty volanteers of 3uba from further garrison duty in Moro Castle, the Cabara and Principe Forts, featerdny regular troops took possession if these fortifications, and Havana is no onger at the meroy of the murderers of romen and children. . .Whether or no he volunteers will tamely submit to heir deposition from power remains to >e seen.

EpiTOHS P?<?ijTTi Tt RAsmi that "Kn Kluxjng" is not confined entirely to the whites io this part of tba world at least, and thai innocent ''Republicana'* are not always the victims of the night-riders, as Merrill, Corbin, Akermau, Grant Sc Go. would have the world believe, and as the following statement of facts will abundantly?pro^o: (? ( On Wednesday night last, 13th, a party of six or eight men, all negroes and all armed,' visited the house of Mr. Williams, at. Wright's Ferry, on Catawba River, pretending to be in search of a negro named Tom Glenn, whom they stated they bad an order from Maj. Mer? rill to arrest. They entered the house, used insulting language to the female in? mates, soi zed npon all the money they could find, ? half box of tobacco, two pistols and a ghn, all of which they car? ried away. They also arrested and car? ried off with them a young man (white) named Smith, whom they found at Wil? liams' house, and whom they acoused of being a "Ku Klux," after sundry threats to kill him or drown him in the river. The party then proceeded to the house of a Mr. Fite, whore they indulged in a repetition of their threats and insults. The same scenes were enaoted at Mr. Harper's, a neighbor, whose wife they uompelled to prepuro-breakfust for them. They also visited the plantation of 3. E. Glenn, Sheriff of the County, on whioh a Mr. Davidson was living, arrest ad a white boy on the place who had gotten into a dilllonlty with one of the aogroes, and tried him for the offence, (?) but inflicted no injury upon him. Tho females of the household were threatened here also, and it is said that i gun was levelled at them by one of the party. Their leader stated, while on the raid, that he had been appointed to re? gulate that country and he intended to lo it. On yesterday morning, (14th.) Mn?, Williams, from whose boose the young nan Smith bad been taken, came to iTorkvillo, and made a statement of what lad ocourred at her house the night pre? cious. And last night, Sheriff Glenn, looompanied by a squad of United States savalry, proceeded to "the Beat of war." Lu the meantime, Smith hod b9en kept .losely guarded, until the outlaws, get? ing wind of tho approach of the sheriff md his party, divided-ono squad tak ng a circuitous route towards Yorkvillo, tarrying Smith along with them. On .hoir arrival here, they wont lo Captain Jgden, the commanding officer, and itated that they had visited Williams' limply to search for Tom Glenn, whom hey had orders to arrest; that they had sommitted no outrage, and that Smith tad accompanied them of bia own free viii. Smith, under threats-of what diameter it is not yet defluitely known itated that be had accompanied thom roluntarily. Upon these statements, the nen were discharged, with a written irder to the officer in charge of the roops then in search of them, not to ar? eal them. Meanwhile, the sheriff and his party md succeeded in capturing four of those vho had been loft behind. These had 'made a clean breast of it,"andaoknow edged the facts as they have been itated. They w. re taken in custody by he sheriff, who, on the return to York rille, met those who had brought Smith n. They exhibited the order forbid ling their arrest, as also one from Maj. Merrill, authorizing them to arrest Tom .Hmm. Tho officer in command of the roops, though knowing their guilt, did lot feel authorized to disregard the irder of bis superior, although giveu inder a misapprehension of the true date of the ouse, and they were allowed o proceed. 1 have made this hurried statement, Slr. Editor, iu justice to tho white peo do of this County, and that the outside vorld may seo that we aro sometimos .sinned against, as well as sinning." A perfect howl has been raised against the moralities of the "Ku Klux," from iraut, down to "the ours of low de ?ree," who truckle for place and pay; yet iot one word is said about the threats o rioleuce and almost nightly incendiarism .hat prompted these sets; and not an iffort is made to ferret out and punish .be guilty parties. I am no apologist if lawlessness, in any form; but I am a leliever in that old and true, though not very elegant maxim-"what's sauce for tbe goose, is sauce for the gander;" ind tho oountry hos a right to demand hut justice shall be meted out with au aven hand. Wo of the up-country, and of York bounty especially, congrat?lalo you .hat you dare to speak the truth freely, tully and fearlessly, and that your jour? nal does not class with those that "bend the supple hinges of tbekneo, that thrift may follow fawning."
