J., Jan. 85.—This town is nearly wracked by debt. The entire  debtedness amounts to between $125,000 and $150,000, including a school debt of $72,000. Besides this sum there are a number of suits now pending against the borough by parties who find themselves unable to obtain their money otherwise. The largest suit against the commission is that of the Lang Brunch Water Supply company for $0,000, for water furnished for sprinkling streets, etc. All the town has to show for its indebtedness, besides the school buildings, of which there are seven, are the fire apparatus, the Oceanic engine house, a miserable little jail and the West End engine house, but not the land it stands upon. Even thd building where the commissioners hold their meetings belongs to private individuals. mK Liabilities, Little Assets.

Jan. 25 —The North German Gazette (Prince Bisnntfck's organ) denies the existence of any treaty precluding any European power from acquiring or seeking to acquire ascendency in Samoa. The Gazette also denies that England and the United States are agre.d that the proceedings of the German ag .*nt in Samoa are contrary to the stipulations of the treaties concerning Samoa and are opposed to diplomatic etiquette, and that those powers have officially notified the German government accordingly. The treaties bjtween Samoa, Germany, England and the United States, The Gazette further says, provide that Samoa shall concede to each treaty power equal rights with any other power, but no treaty re garding the neutrality or independence of Samoa exists bat ween Germany and the United States.

Six hundred policemen charged the crowd, using their batons freely, but were unable to disperse the gathering. The excitement at this point was feverish. Washington, Jan. 25.—It may be, after all, that time occupied in discussing and passtVDrough the senate Mr. Edmunds' Panama /lution, which is now pending in the bC use, has been wasted, if its object was only to prevent Franco or any other European power from claim ng or exercising control over the canal. Article 21 of the grant of the Panama canal, whirli can be found in the pajiers relating to the foreign re ations of the United States in the year 1879, on page 5J43, sets at rest all question upon the subject. It reads as follows: Yh less than cost, The Fat Men's club of Jersey City comprises the maddest men in the state just now. While their annual ball was at its height at Cooper's hall the manager, fearing he would aot get his rent, shut off the gas aud locked the doors on the obese revelers. They flutshed the dance at their club house, and now they propose to make the manager dunce if there is any law in New Jersey for that purpose.EeiKsKewStyleDerDyHats The indebtedness is increasing rapidly every year. The expenditures are so great as to require a taxation of $20 on a thousand. For the high tax rate now existing the town has street* impassable on account of the mud; wooden sidewalks full of holes ou some of the principal streets, and no sidewalks at ail on some of the thoroughfares. The commissioners have threatened to sell property for unpaid taxes, but while tue sales have been*advertised over and over again at a great expense to the town, the sales have never came oft. Mr. Cooper's anti-poll tax law went over for second reading.

The people were maddened by this treatment of Mr. O'Brien, and pressed forward to rescue him from the hands of the inspector The police, however, repulsed the crowd. Timothy Heaiy, who had stepped forward to aid Mr. O'Brien, was met by a bayonet leveled at bis breast, but he was not injured. A number of reporters were maltreated. Mr. O'Brien »Dmplaiued to the magistrate* that the police were attempting to incite a bloody riot.

But they are positively forbidden to assigu or transfer the said rights, under any consideration, or to mortgage them in any way whatsoever in favor of any foreign nation or government.n way below price. London, Jan. 25.—The statement made by The North German Gazette, which may be safely assumed to be put forward by the German government as an explanation of its position with regard to the Samoans, is ambiguous; and all the more so whan it is admitted that a treaty was made between Germany and Eng.and some time ago, in wnich both agree to the declaration that the Samoan and Tonga groups aud nine other islands in the Pacific were outside the sphere of their influence. Bit if the meaning is obscure the purpose is plain. The effort is made to defend the action of the German authorities, naval and diplomatic, in the Samoas, and the determination indicated of standing by them and maintaining the predominance they have gained. It is observable that, while taking the attitude it does, the government rei'ra n* from publishing the latest official information from Apia, which was brought to Auckland by the gunboat Eoer. It is dirticult in the presence of contradictory advice to define exactly what part England is taking in the negotiations now going on. While it is known that Lord Salisbury has been in frequent consultation with the German amoassador, and The Cologne Gazjtte asserted that England was cordially co-operating with Germany, The North German Gazette declares positively that no notes on the Samoan question have been received in Berlin from the London cabinet.

When the case for the crown had been presented, Mr. Healy, on behalf of the defendant, applied for subpoenas for Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour, both of whom, he asserted, had made speeches similar to those of Mr. O'Brien.
