THE .ALABIMI CLAIMS.
Organization OF the Geneva Arbitration
Tribunal,
From the New York Herald.l

This board, as it now stands, is as follows {:
Charles Francis Adams, the arbitrator appoint
ed by President Grant; Chief Justice COckburn,
the arbitrator appointed by Queen Victoria;
General Menabrea, distinguished soldier and
statesman, of liberal ideas, the arbitrator
chosen by King Victor Emanuel, and Jacques
Staempfi, an eX-Presldent of the Swiss Con-
federation and an able advocate, named By the
Government of Switzerland. The treaty of
Washington provides further that the En-
peror Of Brazil shall also name an arbitrator.
and no doubt we shall shortly hear that the
board of five arbitrators is complete. The
treaty (article p next provides that "the
arbitrators ehall meet at Geneva, in Swltzer-
land, at the earliest convenient day after they
shall have been named, and shall proceed i'm.
partially and carefully to examine and decide
all questions that shall be laid before them on
the part of the Government of the United
States and her Britannia Majesty respectively"
and that '1all questions considered By the tri.
bunal, including the final award, shall be de-
cided by majority of all the arbitrators;;' and
''that each of the high contracting parties shall
also name one person to attend the tribunal as
its agent, to represent 1t generally Ia all mat
ters connected with tie arbitration" Counsel
before the tribunal on both sides is also au.
thorlzed, and while General Grant has intlmat-
the best lawyers In the country, we NAV be
sure that England will not neglect to give the
best legal assistance of the realm to Chief Jus.
tice Cockburn. Thrs the arbitration board,
with its two agents, its lawyers on both sides,
ana lts clerks, &C., will be somewhat impos-
ing body. and as Its sittings may be extended
over year or two the tribunal will be wind
fall to the City of Geneva, both in 8 financial
and political view.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE hE"s.I
ORASGEBURG, August %.
A party of mounted men, variously estima-

entered this town little after midnight yes

the buildings allotted to the officers Of the
court, and upon telegraph post near the
railroad avenue, withdrew quietly and 80
mysteriously that no one is able to give any
clue to their route.
The notices purport to emanate from the
headquarters of the Ku.Klux-klan, and con-
tain warnings to such as are engaged in buy
ing seed cotton IA practice that is carried on
to a shameful extent, and which encourages
unlimited thefts in the cotton felds,) and
hints to the carpet-baggers and scalawags,
who are stirring up strife between the races,
to desist under penalty of being visited with
summary punishment. The orders conclude
With friendly call to the colored people to
unite with them as the friends of order and
good government, to root out the enemies oi
both white and colored men. On the whole,
the document was aimed at fragrant abuses,
and was full Of peaceful assurances, especially
to industrious and honest negroes. The
movements of the party were quietly conduct.
ed with the signal of the whistle, and since
their departure not vestige of information is
known of them, and not single threat or act
of violence has been reported OF them.

The Live Oak Herald of the 10th says:
We regret to announce that the boil worm
has commenced its work of destruction In this
county. We are informed that the top-bolls
are tumbling off from the cotton crops gen.
orally In the bend of the river, and that the
farmers there cannot possibly gather more
than half crop. We hope, however, that
when gathering time comes the yield wall be
better than now anticipated. This will be q
hard blow on our friends down there, as their
corn crop will fall far short OF an average this
year, on account of the heavy rains in The
early part of the season.

Cotton picking is progressing rapidly all

in some parts OF the county, though as yet
have done no harm, and it Is believed by the
planters, with whom we have conversed upon
the subject, that before they can come in sufi
cient numbers it will be too late to do much
