The Treaty Critically Examined.
Will England Abide by Presidents
Some Very Large Claims.
Look of Things in Wall Street.
New YORK, May IL, 1871.

New YORK, May 10, 1871.
CLAIMS OF BRITISH III
The Zribune's Washington cores
pondent telegraphed last night that
there are very few who criticise the
treaty of Washington as a whole, but
the following are some of the points
which will arise in debate. They will
relate principally to the article which
provide for the settlement of the
claims of British subjects. Consider
able surprise is expressed by Sumner
and one or two others that the Amer
lean Commissioners did not insist that
Great Britain should submit a sched-
ule of the claims Of her subjects, so
that it might be definitely known Of
what kind they are, and what their
amount, and n that will not include
any of those claims to which the
American public will object. Gran
ville's letter to Lord Lyons about the
claims of British subjects in France
has been cited to show that there is
no occasion to fear that they will be
large. But the reply to this, assu-
rance is that we are not SUR that Eng
land will abide. by those presidents,
and that it would have been much
more satisfactory to have had these
points definitely settled in the treaty
itself.
VI oRTANT CLAIMs.
To show that these claims may be
very considerable in amount, it is said
that one million five hundred thou
sand dollars is involved in the case of
Peterhof alone, which was captured
in the Rio del Norte and condemned

""Tbe action of the. market for the last

for more activity and a higher range

increased considerably during the last

-The Radical papers Of the cOul

The Radical papers of the country
are having much to say about the
manner in which the New York City
Government is carried on. We are
glad to note the fact that Mayor Hall
has made this request :-''ln view OF
the gross allegations continually made
by partisan journal i'll relation to the
accounts ofthe city and county OF New
York, the expenditure of the public,
moneys, the public debt, and the city
resources, the undersigned respectfully
request that the Chamber of Commerce
appoint large and influential COM
mittee of well known and upright
citizens to make full end exhaustive
examination of the public accounts and
condition of the public debt, and then
report the result when completed to
the people of this city. The accounts
will all be published at an early day,
but it is the earnest desire Of the I'M
dersigned that the original accounts
and vouchers shall be at once through
ly examined" Can anything be fairer
than this ? The alleged corruptions
of the municipal government of that
city have been brought to light by the
N Y Times, for the reason, that the
printing of the city corporation was
taken away from it. AS long as the
Times had that priting it winked at,
and kept in the dark, those alleged
criminal transactions. Thus showing
that it cared more to fillits own Golfers
than for the true interests Of the
people, Proper allowance Of course
will be made for the statements Of that
paper.

Ohio.

This State has its election on the
second Tuesday of October, and elects
Governor and State Officers and {
Legislature. The election will be
pretty sharply contested, because be
sides the persons elected the Legislature
will elect U. S, Senator in place of
Senator Sherman, He has belonged
to the class of lucky politicians, is a
brother of Gen. Sherman, and means
to be re elected,
In 1860 Ohio was nearly a unit for

National Convention eX.chief justice

spoken opponent. He had been a
candidate when Mr.. Pugh was elected
L. S. Senator, and had come within
three votes of nomination. But
since, a rivalry has grown up for places
and the management Of the parity
Vallandigham sought the office of U.
L. Senator when Senator Thurman
was elected. He has laterly been
antagonistical to Pugh, McCook and
Mclean, and after striving to thwat

principles, suddenly turned. and
astonished the country with his ''New
Departure In this his design I'M
doubtedly was to make a move III adj
vance of his rivals, and to make Il bold
stroke for Senator Sherman's place,
and for supremacy, And he probably
intended to support Judge Chase or
some such man for the Presidency.
We give our readers these scraps of
political history so that they may
know how much Importance to attach
to new movements. The State has
been generally Wing and Republican,
And if the Republicans loose the State
it will foretell their downfall. Some
of their papers intimate the loss to them
of the Legislature. This is under the
circumstances the prize striven for, and
if they loose it will be significant
defeat. They hold both this State
and Pennsylvania by pretty slight
tenure.

The Republican Press vs.. Democracy.

All that is left now for the Republi-
can press to reply to the advance step
taken by the Democratic party, is to
impugn its motives, and deny its politi-
cal sincerity. And it may be conced
ed that, this course is entirely natural
for that party, for having gone on a
grand robbing and thieving crusade
against the South, and having stripped
them of every right corporcal and in
corporeal, civil and political, the party
has returned from the field of blood and
inglorious conquest, and placing them.

turn attention from himself, and fasten
suspicion and punishment upon the in-

land is full Of little Cur dogs, who are
allowed, and who make it their BUSH

every stately mastiff of Democracy that

noisy and annoying at times, but as is
characteristic of the cur race, they
keep in the safe distance except &C.

discretion ventures too far, and falls a
prey to the crushing jaws of Demo
cratic truth.

party, and charge it with having de-
moralized and corrupted the whole po-
litical atmosphere OF our country, In
this respect, no patty, or government

The OUTRAGE in Louisiana.

For the first time in the history Of
the nation, Federal bayonets have been
used to control the action of 4 political
convention. Under the lead Of the
Presidents brothcr-in-law's brother,
United States troops yesterday took
possession Of the hall in which the
Louisiana Republican State Convention
was being held, and forced out the
delegates opposed to the re nomination
of Gin. GRANT. The oflice-holders and
those looking for Office remained, and
will undoubtedly carry out the wishes
OF GRANT and his relations.
The men who have made the Re
publican party in louisiana were
virtually driven out of the Convention.
Under the leadership of Gov. WAR
MOUTH they proceeded in a body to
another hall, and their convention is
now in session.
When the KuK lux bill was before
Congress, The Sun repeatedly warned
the people that it was bill expressly
prepared to enable GRANT to force the
election of delegates favorable to his
denomination from the Southern States
to the next National Republican Con
vention. The scene in New Orleans
yesterday proves that that warning
should have been needed. What has
been done in Louisiana may be done
in Alabama, and in South and North
Carolina. But even under the Ku-
Klux law the President has no power
to use United States troops as they
were used in New Orleans yesterday.
He has usurpred the power. lie has
no more right to interfere with Re
publican Convention in LouiSna than
he has to interfere with q Republican
Convention in the State of New York.
He has no more right to point a bayo'
net at the breast of YARMOUTH
delegate to the Louisiana Convention
than he has to point bayonet at the
breast of GREELEY delegate to the
New York Republican State Conven-
ton. If he may do one, he may do
the other.
GRANTS action yesterday was a
glaring usurpation Of the rights of the
people. 1t gives strong color to the
prediction of Gen. FRANK BLAIR, that
GRANT would use the army if necessary
to retain his hold upon the White
House
