The Treaty with Enplund.

The text Of the treaty appears in the
indianapolis Daily Journal of May 18th.
and Is q document of such importance
thst 1t deserves publication In full. bur az
our space will not permit. we give few
features of the agreement between these
two great powers, Great Britain and the
United States.
First The Queens ministers express, In
friendly spirit, the roget felt by her ma
jestys government for the escape, of the
Alabama and other vessels from British
ports, and for the depredatious committed
by these vessels.
Second. A Commission Of Arbitration,
to-whom shat! be referred what is known
as the Alabama claims, for settlement
consisting Of five, is 10 be appointed in

King of Sweden and Norway is to make
such appointment. The meetings OF The
arbitrators are to be held at Geneva, as
soon after their appointment as practical

The Journal says the Americans
ought TO be- satisfied with this. Perfect
fairness seems TO he assured, and the 10.
cality Of the sessions OF the Commission
Is happy selection. The best inierna-
ti0nal lawyers are Of Switzerland, while
the Emperor of Brazil and the King OF
Italy are both in the advance" ranks Of
liberal rulers, SO recognized. The gen.
item en- they shall name, as well as the
one 10 be designated by the Swiss Presi-

Third. For the settlement OF claims OF
British subjects, arising odt of acts COM

The indianapolis Journal of the 18th


Mr.. Summers opposition to the treaty,
as has been stated, IL directed chiefly to
the provisions whereby The claims Of Bril-.
ish subject for damage to person. or prop
erty during our civil swar are to be adju-
dicaied. He exp resses surprise that no
schedule Of their character was agreed
upon, soihst there might be no question
hereafter as to what was really meant by
the Commission when these claims shall
be fled for examination. The Senator In
dicates an amendment to this portion OF
the treaty, either of modification or of ex.
cision entirely, quoting to support such
motion tie fact that the Jay treaty of 1870
with Great Britain was ratified with the
article relative TO the West India trade
stricken out. IF The Senate should think
proper to suggest a modification of this
branch, the other propositions would still
remain in force, dependent upon the &C.
ton of the high contracting parties as pro-
vided for In the treaty. While the re-
Jection OIL Tue arrangement for the settle
ment of the British claims would doubt
less prejudice the treaty in the judgment
OF the Government OF England, It would
not be tantanount to a rejection of The
whole. The fate of what vas left would
be In the hands of the foreign officers OF
the two governments The Senate should
not be deferred from au adverse opinion
upon oIe branch, for fear that in Topping
on that tue whole tree may be des.I Dyed.
The duties ofthe Senate pass beyond the
mere registering of the work of the Com
mission. The Treaty should be careful v
considered, but not with captIous cri,i-
cism, or in the spirit OF the warlike Chand.
