Tho Doaris of Arbitration Under the Treaty
Of Washington,

Tho four boards Of Arbitration under
the Washington treaty are now com
pletcd, although it is possible ilith
Commission may yet be constructed
Thc frat ard most important OF these
is the Alabama Commission, consisting
of five members, which meets soon at
Geneva, This deals with the subject ol
prlvatecring, and will have to decide
whether Great Britain exercised due
diligence to prevent the escape of the
Alabama and other confederate pirates
from her wators, and whether sho cVad-
ed her obligations in allowing them to
recruit and reiit at British ports. If the
Board decides that such default occurred
on the part of England, a gross sum Is
to be awarded for distribution among
the sufferers rs compensation for dam
ages; or if the Board shall be unable
To agree upon the amount ii Is to be
fixed by another Commission, convoked
by the members of the Geneva Board,
who shall assess the damages by actual
| inquiry and proof, its decision being
final. Should this alternative Board be
convented, it will sit at Washington,
New York or Boston, or ut all OF tnose
| places, if necessary. The second com.
mission ConvoneS at Washington, ana
will have to decide upon all war claims
of the citizens of the United states
against Great Britain, not within the
consideration Of the Geneva arbl!rators
and the claims of British subjects upon
the United States. No claims of Brit.
ish subjects who resided in the South
orn States during the war; no claims Tor
slaves, nor of blockade runners, are,
however, to have admission. Ihi5
Board consists of three members, ana
will also hold sessions at New YORK
and Boston. The third IS The Fishery
Commission, having one member Tor
England and one for the United states,
1t will lave 30 determine whether any
compensation is due to the Dominion Of
Gambia from the United States for sur
rendering it5 fishery privileges, and ad~
Indicate the amount should the question
be decided in the Affirmative. This
commission is to meet at Hartford. The
Fourth Commission Of which the En-.
peror of Germany is sole member and
t, arbitrator, will have 60 CttlO the quo5-
tion of our Northwestern boundary,
involving the Straits Of lIarO and Van.
c0uVur'8 Island, with some territory
, about San Juan. We notice that a
rumor has obtained currency 70 the
effect that England will claim pay for
all captured blockade runners, upon
the ground that the paragraph in Pres
idcnt Lincoln's proclamation of block
adc, directing that vessels attempting
to enter Southern ports should first be
warned of, and only captured upon Il
second attempt, was mover revoked, nor
ever observed. We do not, however,
place any confidence in this report. A
distinct understanding was reported to
have been had between the members OF
the Commission that the Twelfth article
of the treaty applied only to property
destroyed by our armies, or Illegally
seized.

AMoNGsra people so upright as those
OF Columbia county, the election OF
course passed off peacefully and there
are no special incidents to notice that
we have as yet heard of. The indus.
tri Gus editors feelings, when an cleo.
tion is over and the result ascertained,
are akin TO those of the farmer when his
harvest is gathered and his crops (good or
bad) are safely housed. Andi if the edit
or of this paper should follow the eX-
ampleof the farmerand labor but lightly
or indulge in such recreation as circum-
stances will permit, for brief period,
we hope the readers of the COLUMBIAN
will not complain. The paper will not
be neglected but for time to come it
will not receive the close attention that
has been devoted to it for nearly a year
past, nor will its columns for that time
be SO largely filed with the EDITORS
own writings. We expect, however.
to produce paper as interesting as
usual and our business will in no wise
be neglected.

THE HIGHEST Democratic majority
heretofore given in Bloomsbury was 1S,
for PACKER, in 1869. Previously SHARs-
WOOD had 16, and SEYMOUR had 12.
So that the majority of 43 now given in
our town to M'CANDLEss for Auditor
General, is fine one and most gratify-
ing to our party friends. The old Re-
publican majority of IS to 100 in Blooms
burg is completely demolished and the
scale turned decidedly the other way
This is the work Of the last five or six
years and there has been zeal, prudence
and sagacity shown in this most effec-
tual and satisfactory work by those
who have led our party in its local
triumphs and relieved the counlry dis.
tricts from the necessity which formerly
pressed upon them of overcoming a
hostile majority in the county town.

The land Crab SMinlle.

Between the fourth of March, 1863,
and July, 1871, President GRANT has
approved bills, passed by Radical
Congress, swindling the people out of
$1,000, 900 Acres of the public lands
more than seven times the area of the
entire State of Pennsylvania. All this
enormous amount of land was granted
to Railroad Companies and land
monoplies,and was given for no consid-
Grafton in return. The public lands
should be kept for the poor man, for
the actual settler and pioneer, and not
bartered away by radical politicians.

VICToRIA's HEALTH.-Thep pravest
apprehensions are expressed in Emo.
land in reference to the health of Queen
Victoria. They do not refer so mnch
10 her physical as to her mental condi.
tion.. The death of the reigning sover.
eign is contingency that sooner or lat
er must come, and the Prince of Wales
stands ready to assume the sceptre, as
many an heir has succeeded diving
monarch heretofore. But the mental
alienation of the sovereign Is q much
more difficult matter for the Govern.
ment to deal with, especially as Her
Majesty has always been jealous of her
prerogatives, and Is now more so than
ever. For many months the Queen has
been fevered and irritable, and the pub
llc are beginning to think of the ten
dency to insanity which is hereditary
IN her family, and to fear the worst in
her own case. The latest letters and
kilograms from England all point to
TINS as an absorbing topic of discussion
in England, and it Is regarded as some-
what probable that, if Victoria's all.
ments continue and Increase, the Gov
erninent may find 1t necessary to secure
her abdicatlon. There is an universal
feeling of regret at the sad condition of
so estimable lady-a feeling shared
alike on both sides of the Atlantic-but
the good OF the millions who populate
the British Empire, and, possibly, the
integrity of the realm itself, may soon
require Her Majesty to retire from the
active labor of reigning sovereign

ARREST OF BIGAMISTS-NO FEARS OF
TROUBLE-MINING NEWS,


SALT LAKE CITY, October IA Awar-
rant for the arrest Of George O. Cannon,
editor of the DoSerct NcWS, and one of
the Apostles, and chief aspirant for the
succession to Brigham Young, was
placed in The hands OF the United States
Marshal to-day, but has not yet been
served, probably because Mr.. Cannon
was engaged at the Mormon Conference.
The charge against Cannon is for lewd
lasciviouS cohabitation with several
different women. He will doubtless be
taken before Judge Mexican, on Non
day. 1t is expected that the defense in
this case, as in that of Brigham Young,
Will be that these extra women are
wives of the defendant, whereupon the
charge OF bigamy will be preferred, and
proved under the Congressional law
bearing upon the subject.
Nothing remarkable occurred in the
Mormon Conference this morning. The
addresses We're moderate, but every
body was expecting speech from Brig.
ham Young. He will preach to-mor-
row, il well enough. Everything is
quiet, both, rs regards political and &C.
clesiastical matters. The people ridiculo
the idea ofa disturbance or outbreak,
and are as SAFE here rs in New York or
San Francisco; perhaps safer. Eight
thousand dollars in refined silver bull
ion and over 100000 in base silver
bullion were received here this week.
Sl50,OOO in bullion was sent East by
Wells, Farago e Co. The heaviest min
ing transactions have been made here
this week that We're ever known in
Utah, the amount being over g., 900, 900.

cases is for lasciviOus cohabitation with
several women, under the Utah statute.
Thomas Hawkins was arraigned to-day
before Judge Mexican, on the indict-
ment for adultery, growing out of po.
lygamy, the charge having been made

IT is the boast of Grants administra-
tion that the public debt has been reduc-
ed about two hundred millions of dol
lars, in the two and q halfyears that he
has been in Office. But the Radicals
are not entitled to any credit for the
people reduced the debt by paying
taxes for that purpose. Tho people
ought to be thankful, however, that the
Radical thieves did not steal all the
money, not leaving dollar to reduce
the debt with. During the time Grant
has been in Office there have been paid
into the treasury mostly from taxes
sl,1O0, 100000. Admitting that 5000
100000 have been appropriated to wards
paying the public debt, what has gone
with the other 5000, 900, 900?

MEXICO, September II, via. Matamo'
ras.-Juarcz was installed President
last night, amid great excitement.
Pedro Martinez has issued pronuncia-
mento, near Galena, in Larralion, and
another in Casalea. Generals Marqulz
Perra and Escupora, and Coloncls Ro-
las AID DALI, have pronounced against
Juarez in Sinaloa.
Mexico, September 90, via Matamo-
ras.-All is quiet here. The Presidents
message Is conciliatory, but firm. 1t
recommends material improvements,
tho building of railroads, and the pro.
lection of the coast, and also sanctions
the making of treaties with foreign
nations.
MATAMoRAs, October 2.-There is
another great revolution in Mexico.
The State of Nuevo Leon takes the
lead. Tho famous General Pedro Mar
tinez pronounced in Galiena against
Juarez. The movement was immedi'
ately seconded by Generals Jecomina
and Trevino, Governor of Nuevo Leon,
together with all the State authorities
and several other chieftalns. Their
combined forces are said to be marching
on Camargo and Matamoras, with the
view of occupying the Custom.housC
on the frontier. The first step taken by
| the authorities of Nuevo Leon was tc
throw into prison all the employees OF
the Federal government. 1t Is expected
that this movement will be seconded By
| the neighboring States, and that the
revolution will become general. Gen.
eral Porfirio Diaz is reported to have
said that he would march against thos'
who should pronounce against the Jua
rez government, but his loyalty is mucl
doubted. Matamoras and the frontie
arc yet quiet; nevertheless, the mer
chants feel very anxious about coming
events. Generals Pafoira and Cortin'
| have issued proclamations to the sol
diers under their respective commands
and to the citizens on the frontier il
general, to stand and fight for the Jua'
rez government. Great preparation
are being made in Matamoras for the
defense of the city, if attacked, and al
the cavalry has left for the front. Th'
telegraph is only working as far a
Mere, and no further news is reported
at this hour. Great excitement is re
ported from all parts of Mexico on &c
| count of such stirring news.

lT is announced that combined ef-
fort is to be made upon Congress this
winter to induce it to pass a "Declara-
tory act" affirming the right of women
to vote, and that this pressure is to come
from Mrs. Victoria Woodruff and those
who sympathize with the woman.suf-
frage movement. 1t is also mysterious
ly limited that Senators and Represen-
tatives are pledged to the movement,
in sufficient numbers to attach some
importance to the scheme of the woman
suiiragists in their attempt on Congress.
A lively, but perhaps not very profita-
Bile, time may therefore be expected at
the coming session among the ranks of
the friends of female suffrage when
Mrs. Woodruff shall establish herself
here in her new quarters Washington

THE discrepancies in the accounts of
our national debt as issued from the
different departments have been noted
by the Democratic press, but our Re-
publican friends, in their excessive hon.
esty, are too much taken up with Tam
many frauds to bestow a line upon the
State or national stealings. The Public
Ledger has examined into the figures of
the administration, and the money arti-
Gle has the following:
at is one of the misfortunes attend
ing perfect knowledge of all public
finances that they are almost invariably
brought into our political contests, and
the figures so tangled and confused by
tho contending parties as to most COM

has taken the trouble to compare this
exhibit of the finances, just issued, with
the monthly, quarterly and annual
statements of the secretary of the treas
ury, and he finds that there is differ.
ence in expenditures of Sl7, ,269, sos, and
that the receipts published by the com.
mittee as being Sl19, ,13l ,455 were really
but s101, ,00l ,9l6. He also finds that the
executive expenses of 1S69.7O exceed
those of 1867. 6S by $101 ,907, 7,430-making
a difference in the two statements
amounting to $157,4SS,634. 1t is also
found that the claimed reduction of in
ternal taxation of $62, 100000 per annum
is wholly an eXaggeration such taxes, in
fact, having never had an existence.
BY comparing the statements of Secre-
tary Boutwell, and Treasurer Spinner,
