Tho Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Gazette says:
Although the veil Of secrecy has not
yet been lifted by the Joint High Com
mission, its final action is pretty we'll
known in court circles. Singular ns il
may seem, il is no less true that Lord
Tcnterdcn and Professor Montague Bcr-
nard, who were supposed to be the staunch
supporters Of English Law. as established
by long custom, aud fortified by able
opinions, have either been unable or un-
willing to sustain the position which the
Crown lawyers took few years ago. and
which Lord Russell insisted on maintain
ing. The fact is, on the contrary. that
England agrees to pay the Alabama claims,
and TO acknowledge that she is liable for
them, because she was in the wrong in
letting the vessel escape. Per contra.
England claims damages for tho English
cotton destroyed by General Sherman for
vessels seized during the war. and for
damages from Fcnian raids. 1t is, there.
fore, regular shop bargain. There was
time when English law and justice wen,
so close together that noted juris, de.
clarcd that IL you could only find the righl
side Of a question you could always max,
the law to fit Nowadays it seems We
first find the expedien, side, and then try
and make the law to suit.
The Senate, it is now supposed, will
ratify the treaty. The chief trouble vii
be the fisheries, upon which Brother
Jonathan is asked TO make some conccs.
sions If the treaty be ratified another
Commission will be appointed to carry
out the details. the Joint Commission onl,
settling principles. II will be two year,
before the Alabama claims are audited
The cotton claims are more ample. Coli,

amount Of c250, 900.
