The Great Meeting in Hyde Park

A special cable dispatch to the New
York Herald, published in that journal
yesterday, gives an account Of the great
reform meeting in Hyde Park, London,
on the 9th instant. 1t is estimated that
one hundred thousand people were pres
ent. There were fifteen stands from which
the crowd were addressed by popular
speakers. The Government took every
precaution to preserve the peace. The
military were out in strong force, and po
licemen were stationed in all parts Of the
grounds. So far as known on this side o.
the water, good order was maintained.

overthrowing tho Government Of the United
States whom such State shall bo 80 far restored
TO its practical relations and allegiance to the
Government Of the United States as TO bc enti-
tied 10 exercise the powers Of sovereignty belong
gress to determine Until Congress recognises
the status Of such States as restored TO their al.
legiance and entitled TO exercise tho rights OF
sovereignty as States Of tho Union, this court
cannot go recognise them. IN 1850
II Is true that Virginia occupied q position
somewhat different from other States lately In
rebellion. 6he had government which was REQ
ognired BY Congress until tho close Of the Thirty
Seventh Congress and part II not all Of the
Thirty. Eighth. But the Legialaturs organised
after the surrender Of Gen. Lee, and which met
on the hrst Monday Of December, 1855, Congress
has steadily refused to recognise. II is not In.
tended to inquire whether Congress acted CON
sistently or not in recognising the government 90
long as II did and refusing 10 recognize II longer.
Doubtless II would have been Justified in refusing
to recognise II much sooner than they did. But
It s tho fact Of the refusal and not the reason for
II, that the court hayet to deal with.
It is not sesn how the power Of Congress over
the subject can be Questioned. Congress surely
Is not bound TO recognise the govsrnnsntsiof .
State in open and hsgrant rebellion. And
whether II Is in rebellion or not, Is question for
Congress to determine So this court held In
tho prize cases in 2 Blacks Reports; and Con.
gress having once determined that . State is In
rebellion, who shall say when she has changed
her natRs and become aloyal State -
But Il Is also submitted that this law 10 In
operative because the transfer Of the counties
became fact accomplished by the subsequent
ratification and consent Of Congress. Ajoint
resolution Of March 10, 1866, not only consents
to the compact and agreement but 1t hereby
recognizes the transfer.' This Joint resolution
was manifestly designed to have . Retrospective
operation and 10 meet and overreaoh any attempt
that might be made TO invalidats It. The effect
Of II Is TO legaliEe the transfer from the time I,
was completed by the actien Of the States and
II relates back TO the time Of the transaction
which It ratified, and has the same legal effect
as II II had passed on the day or before the State
Of West Virginia accepted the transfer

Tho Puget sound Claim.

1t is generally known that the Puget
Sound and Hudson Bay Companies have
claim against the United States. We
now have to state that this claim has been
brought before joint commission; which
commission will soon be in possession Of
the evidence upon which II is predicated.
We gather the following particulars re-
specting this claim from letter Of the
'Able Washington correspondent Of the
New Orleans Times. This writer says that
ALEXANDER l.. JOHNSON is the commits
sioner on the part Of the UnitedStates;
JOHN RosE is the commissioner on the
part Of Great Britain, and BENJAMIN r.
CURrrs is the umpire. Judge @. d. DAY,
Of Montreal, and Judge EDWARD LASpES
"a brother Of the lamented Gen. LANDEs)
arc the counsel for Great Britain, and
have finished taking evidence in support
Of their claim. 't.a f.a'
Gen. CUSHING, who has for some months
past been assisted by G. G. BEANAS, for,
merly Of Boston, has taken great amount
Of evidence in behalf Of the United States
and some few witnesses remain to be ex.
amined The object Of the examination ol
witnesses is to show what was the value oi
certain buildings and posts Of the two com
panies on the territory south Of the forty
ninth parallel of north latitude, which came
under the jurisdiction of the United States
in ls46 The entire evidence will make
1000 printed pages, and is somewhat con
flicting, which will make the task Of tn,
commissioners difficult one, and the fna
awards may have to be made by Judg'
| CURTIS, as umpire.
