The usual remedy is to take some stimu-
liant, tho effect OF which is the same as
giving q tired horse the whip instead of

Executing the Treaty.

The treaty with England which has
lust been ratified provides for the ap-
pointment ofthree different commissions
and possibly of four The first Of these
is the so-called Tribunal Of Arbitration
It's function is to deal with the Alabama
claims, and it has five members. One
of them Is to be appointed by the prcs
dent, one 10y Queen Victoria, one by
the King Of Italy, one by the President
Of Switzerland, and one by the Emperor
Of Brazil This tribunal is to meet at
Geneva within two months after the
ratification Of the treaty; and eight
months are assigned for the preparation
and argument Of the cases ON each side.
But the time within which the award
must be made is not limited This
award may be in sum in gross to be
paid by Great Britain; but if the tribu-
nal does not make such an award, y
Board Of Assessors is TO be appointed
to act upon each individual claim for
damages. One member Of this Board
OF Assessors is to be appointed by the
President, one by the Queen, and one
by the italian minister at Washington.
1t is to sit in Washington, New York,
or Boston but the time Of its meeting
and the duration Of its sessions are not
fixed.
The second Commission is that to
settle the American claims against Eng
land, and the claims of British subjects
against the United States, arising out
OF acts against persons or property COM
mitted between April 10, 1861, and
April 9, 1868, exclusive Of the acts Of
Confederate cruisers. One Of the mem
bels Of this Commission is to be ap-
pointed by the President, one by the
Queen, and a third 10y the President
and Queen conformity. They are to
meet at Washington, but the time Of
their meeting is not determined.
A Commission is also TO be appointed
upon the fisheries, consisting of three
members, one named by the President,
one by the Queen, and one by the Pres
ldont and Queen conformity. This Com
mission will sit at Halifax, but nothing
is prescribed in the treaty respecting
the date Of its appointment and meet
ing or the period OF its labors.
1t appears from the above substance
OF our late treaty with England that all
the United States gets from England
on the outstanding claims against that
country will cost one dollar for every
cent obtained.
The treaty is so indefinite and re-
quires the appointment Of so many
Commissioners and sub Commissioners,
that before they have had time TO act
and report, every man, woman and
child now living in the United States
would be either dead, or so old that
they will forget all about the matter.
The labors of the Joint High Commits
sioners amounted to nothing but cx-
pensc. We still adhere to our opinion
expressed in this paper in 1869, shat
the United States would never receive
n dollar on her pending claims against
England

NEwsrArEE COURTESY We find in the last
number OF the Fort Smith PahioL edited by
Gen. II. A. PEIRCE, the following notice of a
new paper, The VIDE A,rale, published at
Lcwisburg, Ark, and edi,cd by CHAs. L. IsI-
AN:
The IEWIsBURG WipEAwAKE.-We have re-
cciyed the first number ofthis nasty looking,
poorly printed, little eight 10y ten disgrace to
Southern literature; and will thank the pub
Usher il he will not send Us number two. Its
editorials read rs though they were stolen
from some other paper, or were written two
hundred years ago, in the reign Of James the
Second, by that old terror to Justice, Lord Jef-
tries. We have burned the copy sent us, and
trust you viii have the good sense TO not send
US another. No, We won't exchange.
Gen. PEIRCE took the trouble, or pleasure,
itsccms when passing Lewisburg recently, ,oi
calling on the Editor. Here is what Mr. Is
ham says OF his visit. We leave 1t for our
readers TO judge which is the courteous gem
tleman:
We had the pleasure last Saturday, ola yis-
it from Gen Peirce, OF the Fort Smith Patriot
with the exception of our old friend Batten-
field, OF the Tribune he has been our only
editorial visitor. We really like Gen. Peirce,
aAd il our older brethren of the Press, like
him, would drop in to see us. rs they pass by
our town, and shake our hand, speak to us
words of encouragement, it would greatly aid
Us in the task we have undertaken.--Widt

party, at their meeting on the Goth at Forl
smith. was addressed hy Hon JosEPu BROOKS
late Internal Revenue Assessor for the 3d Dis
trict Of Arkansas, for foar hours, ON the cor
ruptious Of the State administration. Among
the Resolutions passed at the meeting, we no.
ticc the following:
ReSolreG, That we cordially endorse Presi-
dent Grant and the National administration
aud it is with pride that we realize that he
has given to the country such an adminiStra-
tion of affairs as cannot fail to command the
commendatiOn OF friend and foe alike.
The meeting should have passed one other
about as follows, which would have been quite
as applicable rs the above, Grant and Clay
ton are identical and there Is no eonsistenc,
in denouncing one and commeuding the other
Grant 10 ten times the usurper that Clayton
and his friends ever thought Of being. and to-
day is exercising more despotic power than
any crowned-head Of Europe.
ReSolrcd That We heartily aud cnthusas-
tically endorse President GRANT for the great
wisdom shown, in removing from Office in
Arkansas, Hon. Joseph Brooks Cattcrson
Whipple. Hodges Patton and others of the
Brindle wing, who are in sympathy and de-
nouncing the State Administration of Arkan-
sas. snd we earnestly recommend that no,
