One important question has been settled by
the joint commissioners at Washington under
the twelfth article of the treaty. The claims OF
the cotton bondholders have been finally set at
rest, and we shall hear no more OF them. The
claim Of one Of these bondholders was presented
to The commission, and its allowance urged upon
the ground that the United States, having Sc.
cured the cotton pledged for the redemption of
the loan, had become responsible for the paw
ment of tine bonds. Mr.. Robert S. Hale, coun-
sci for the United States, in answer to this claim
besides certain technical objections, argued that
the language Of the treaty and accompanying
protocols confined the jurisdiction of the com
missioners to questions Of damages accruing
from actions Of either government of the char
acter known in legal Technology as torts, and
would not include claims for damages on
breach Of contract entered into by the United
States, much less contract of a revolutionary
organization, to whose rights and duties it might
be claimed that the United States had succeeded
Inc clalmapt theory that the cotton, having
been pledged TO secure the loan, became the
property Of the foreign bondholders, and its
seizure was therefore fairly included among
the "aeis committed against the properly
of subjects of her Britannia majesty"
of which the twelfth article of the treaty
takes cognizance, was shown to be I'M
tenable, and the true foundation of the claim
was exposed-the theory that the United
States, in coming into possession of the
property Of the conlederacy, had also succeeded
to its liabilities. The commission adopts Mr.
Hale's view Of the case, and decides the follow
ing points: l, that the United States is not liza
bic for the confederate debts; ,, shat creditors
OF the rebel government voluntarily assumed
the risk Of failure; 3, that the hypothecated
cotton at the time Of its seizure was not the
property Of the bondholders; and, 4, that the
right Of the United States to seize the property
OF the deiunct conicderacy is paramount to any
clam Of The creditors to be reimbursed out of
the assets.

The GLACIERS OF Professor
James ID. Dana, the distinguished geologist of
Yale, has just published in the American Jour
nal Of Science an interesting and valuable pa
per ION the position and height of the elevated
plateau in which the glacier of New England in
the glacial era had its origin" The professor
introduces his research with the remark that
1.-THE existence of a region of high cultivation in
northern America as the source of a continued
glacier IN the glacial era has often been as
Sumed, but rather because the glacial theory
was lame without it than as a result of special
research with respect TO the extent and location
of such a region. Professor Dana then con-
cisely gives the direction of the glacial burrows
or scratches crossing the Green and White
mountains, and shows that they could not
have been made with the land of North
America at its present level and that
these scratches on the rocky summit of New
England point toward some great region of ele-
waited lands, on the slopes of which the stupen-
dous glacier began its southerly motion He
gives il as his opinion that the icy plateau
whence the great glacier took its departure
must have existed somewhere on the western
border of Hudson's bay, and that the glacier
moved enthusiastically down the valley of the
Ottowa and on the slopes 10 the east of it, haV-
ing to this distant day, the track of its course
engraved deeply in the Rocky mountain TANKS
With from 5000 TO 5000 feet thickness of ice
the glacier kept on its course, guided only by the
general slope of the land but at the same time
moulded itself into the larger valley and into
many even of the local slopes. The intense cold
that is known TO have existed in the American
glacial era is also naturally accounted for if the
land of northern Canada was great plateau
being an elevation higher than the summit of
Mount Washington.
The upward movement OF the glacial era
which carried the north at least 5000 feet above
its present level, was followed by the slow Subs-
dence Of the "Champlain period" when the
same lands sunk to a greater extent than they
had previously been raised, letting down the
valley of the ST. Lawrence, about Montreal, 500
feet below its present level, and probably 1900
feet below its glacial era level. With this sink
ing of the land began the melting of the glacier
Owing TO the sinking of the surface in the north
northern and southern rivers had their slope
greatly leSsened, and in some eases made quite
level for long distances, and by vast deposits of
drift Niagara and other rivers had their chan.
nels so Obstructed that they were forced TO cut
new passages, while other water courses of the
glacial era were wholly cut off, as that from the
Champain lake down the Hudson valley.
Thence came the terrace era" during which
the land reached its present level, while the
river channels were deepened, and the lake and
river terraces, which now cover the continent
were formed.
