Disappointment About the. Treaty-Haytiem
Omcials Going to Europ pe-Gedrard's Move
ments-Marine Intelligence.
HAVANA, May 10, 1888.
Our advices from st. Thomas are to the 9th inst.
general detection was noticeable in the inhabi-
ia nts OF the place. 1t was due to the delay OF the
United States Senate In ratying the treaty Of pur
chase. The officials find themselves In q predca-
ment, and as q consequence much arbitrarness and
vindctiveness is displayed.
The Danish gunboat Dagmar was expected shortly.
The American men-0f-war De Soto and SacO were
still at anchor in st. Thomas harbor. The Shawmut
had gone to st. Croix where there is no quarantine.
The steamer Caraibe returned to st. Thomas on the
4th, owing to some faultness in her machinery.
The American schooner Albert Thomas, Captain
Rogers, from Buenos Ayres and Montevides, had
arrived on the 4th inst. at st. Thomas.
The British steamer Alpha, Captain Hunter, sailed
for Bermuda and Halifax on the same day.
The British steamer Tasmania, Captain Gilies, had
also sailed for Southampton. Among her passengers
was L. J. Adam, late Minister of President Gerrard
to England and France. He had just come from ia
maca and is supposed to be on mission to those
governments behalf Of Gerhard, seeing that Presi
dent Salnave appears to lose ground in Hayti. An
other passenger is Saint Aude secretary OF General
Solomon, the actual Haytien Minister in Europe.
Solomon had sent Saint Aude home to Port au Prince
for the OF the Minister'S salary He was sue
cessful in getting them and now returns TO Europe.

Even If these men who urge it should on some
other occasion attempt to take another vote
they will be hssed and hooted to silence, ifnot to
shame, by the common voice of the whole land
Let these political gamblers go to Chicago
and make their candidate. Aside from one
name they can present no man as their candi-
date whom that very fact will not condemn to in
famous defeat The nation has now no great
confidence in those persons whom it is thought
these men are likely to present as their stand
ard bearer. Fortunately, the country is not
ready for Wade. There are some depths of
degradation it has not yet sounded. 1t
looks askance at Grant for supposed compl-
city in this atrocious effort, and the voters
will only need to know the name of the one
the impeachers desire to have in power to
know the name they must not fold up in their
ballots next November But If the impeach
ers shall not get possession of the convention
if they shall fail there as in The Senate, and
the name of Chase shall be put up, the country
will remember him as the man who maintained
the dignity of the law so far as lay in his
power, and opposed the final injustice of the
Senate till voted down by men who could have
done him no greater honor than was involved
in that vote.

We hope every one has read the report of the
radical Peace Society in the columns of the
HERALD yesterday. If so they will compre-
hend how far twaddle can go in the discussion
of public questions. Universal peace is very
desirable thing, but, unfortunately, it is not a
part of the programme of our generation, and
we are afraid that the resolutions and reports
of the Peace Society are not going to bring
about revolution in this particular. 1t is
true that the Society, according to the report
of its secretary, has demonstrated with Queen
Victoria on the Luxemburg question; that
the Constitutional State Convention has been
appealed to-and, we presume, with some
effect, for we do not remember that any breach
of the peace was committed there-and that
various kindly meetings have been held in
favor of peace all over the world, and espe
cially peace with the savage Indian tribes who
are harassing civilization on our Western from
tier. But, for all that we hear Of French gene
rails informing their soldiers that ''war is immi-
nent" in Europe, and we find Spotted Tail and
Man-afraid- Of his-horses and other begrimed
aboriginals on the Plains with curious nomen-
clatures insisting that there shall be no peace
in those regions unless we abandon our mill
tary posts and shut up the Pacific Railroad, so
that civilization shall not scare away the buff
faloes and starve the warriors. Even those
chiefs who are pretending to make treaties
while they are hungry will break them when
their larder Is full. This is radical" Indian
policy. The talk about universal peace, there
fore, is the merest twaddle. While men live
there will be war, and no peace society can ar
rest IT,

Who KILLED Cook ROBIN N?-What or who
was 1t that killed the impeachment? From the
radical organs we learn that Chief Justice
Chase killed it.; that Fessenden's jealousy and
Grimes hatred and Trumbulls wrath against
Old Ben Wade killed it that ''Old Ben's" high
tariff notions killed it; that the treachery of
Fowler and Ross killed it; and, finally, that
bribery and corruption and the whiskey rings
killed it. But the simple truth is that the
votes Of eight republican Senators, with whom
justice was stronger than party, killed this
impeachment Justice prevails.

Senators as to enable them to see the wicked

accordingly but the vote on Saturday morn
ing shows that the impeachment was past
praying for. The conduct of the Washington
negro radicals, however, in resorting to
prayer for the impeachment was praise
worthy compared with the violent and
outrageous expedients Of intimidation and
threatenings and accusations resorted to by
their white brethren against the unbelieving
Senators.

An ecclesiastical deputation representing
the hierarchy and clergy of the Protestant
Church Establishment in Ireland has had audi
ence of Queen Victoria, at Windsor, and sub
mitted to her Majesty the views of the episco-
pacy of that part of the kingdom on the subject
of the Parliamentary disendowment measure,
as set forth in the Gladstone temporalities
restraint bill endorsed by the House of Com
mons. We have not yet been informed
Of the precise nature of the inter-
view, nor have we report of the
conversation which took place between the
Queen and her right reverend and reverend
visitors. We can learn from our cable tele-
grams, however, that the oral communion of the
head of the Church with the Irish missionary
laborers, or missionaries from Ireland, was
conducted in manner very different from that
which prevailed between the members of the
Apostolic family in the earliest days of Chris
tianity. The bishops pleaded, no doubt, in be-
half of the inviolability of the temporalities of
the Church; the rights of their successors
''that the laborer is worthy of his hire, and
so forth. Queen Victoria replied, but, as we
are told by the cable, in very cautious
manner 1t is said she was ''non-com-
initial" From which we infer that her
Majesty has been pondering a little as lay
ruler on the ''rights" of the people of Ireland,
while in her anointed ecclesiasm she has, per-
haps, remembered the fulness and excellence
of clerical poverty as set forth in the all i'm
portant question put to the first disciples at
the Last Supper, with their reply, "When
sent you, without purse and scrip and shoes,
lacked you anything9" ''And they said,
nothing" She may have even ordered the
bishops to read this verse every day until the
time of the next general election, or take it,
each, as text for sermon.
Queen Victoria has already exhibited such
excellent judgment and good sense in her treat
ment of this Irish Church matter that we
should not wonder if she narrowed it, during
her interview with the bishops, to this very
fine and elegant scriptural point. If she has,
the future work of Parliament on the subject is
rendered quite easy, and the Grown has been
relieved of very anxious consideration.

THE DIGNITY OF CONGRESS = MAKING
FACES Masks and Faces" may be very good
on the stage, but they are not exactly in place
on the floor Of Congress. The indecorous pro-
ceedings which occurred in the House on
Friday, between an honorable member from
Pennsylvania and an honorable member from
Missouri, in which the latter was charged by
the former with making faces" at him, putting
his thumb to his nose, after the manner Of o
bootblack, and indulging in other grimaces,
does not speak very emphatically for the
dignity Of Congress. II we add this scene to
the recent wordy dispute between Donnelly
and washburne, in which the grossest Ian
guage was used, we must conclude that the
highest representative body in the country is
the worst school Of manners aud morals from
which the people can learn the vslne Of good
breeding.

Interesting ana Tdinobie Curiosity.

A wonderful old document is at pres
ept i'm Canada, being nothing less than
the skin or parchment signed 23O years
ago by the Scottish people, and known
as the National Covenant of Scotland"
The substance Of the deed is written in
firm, beautiful hand, almost unique
in its kind the signatures of the noble
men, including the famous Montrose,
and many of the others, are very dis
tinct, az also are those obliterated in the
blood of their subscribers, while the
whole parchment is in good state of
preservation. This celebrated old docu
ment il without doubt n relic of the
troublous times which gave it existence.
No era of Scotland's history claims
more interest or presents greater charm
than the memorable year 1888, when
on the LIST day of March its vigorous and
high-minded people, oppressed by re-
strictions on their religious liberty, and
reused to resistance by the attempts of
the King and his ambitious prelate to
violate their cOnsciences by forcing upon
them a liturgy opposed to their Presby-
terrain notion of simple worship, rose up
Ell masse, and, with unanimity of views
and feelings unparalleled, subscribed to
the National Covenant of Scotland
The Covenant survived the crisis that
called it forth. For the following fifty
years the principles which produced a
generation of heroes found their noblcst
opponents in the lives and sufierings of
their sons. Purified in martyr blood,
they triumphed in the cause of freedom,
and left legacy to succeeding genera
tions which, to us, was never more SEN
sibly enjoyed than in the present age.
For the past seventy years the dOcu-
mcnt has been in the possession of
family OF the name of Henderson, into
whose grandfather's hands it came
when he was senior Cameronian pas
tor in Scotland. The existence of the
document is well known in the United
Kingdom, where in most of the princi-
pal towns and places it has been shown.
