THE TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN
SETTLEMENT OF THE ALABAMA
CLAIMS

The Joint High Commission, which
has completed its labors at Washington,
has earned for itself universal respect
and the gratitude Of two great nations
for the results which it has achieved.
Without being bought by allurements or
browbeaten by menaces, it has made the
settlement of grave questions now pos
sible, and what once threatened seriously
to prove a disturbance and mar the
peace between the two countries is NOW
rendered easy and practicable. The
spectacle presented by two Of the most
powerful nations of the world coming
together like two Christian gentlemen,
to make mutual confessions and offer
apologies, is one which should certainly
challenge the admiration of the world.
A war between this country and Great
Britain-two nations at the present time
In the full enjoyment of cith and reli-
gious hberty-would be dire calamity
and fraught with woe to the best inter-
ests Of humanity, and so productive OF
disaster to individuals that to have
averted 1t makes the diplomatic agents
engaged in the work benefactors Of their
race. The substance Of the treaty is,
first: that nation is bound to fulfill all
its moral obligations to every other ma
ton; and, falling in this, must give salts
faction; and, second the subjects
of n neutral power who reside in
a beiIigerent State where a condi-
ton of war actually exists must
take the responsibility of their acts on
their own shoulders. England, in neg
lecting her duty toward America, and
allowing cruisers to fit out in her ports,
became morally and pecuniarily re-
sponsible for the subsequent depreda-
tons. There were other minor features
of the treaty-the fisheries, the naviga-
ton of the St. Lawrence and the lakes;
but the great dispute about the Alabama
claims is of such ovefshadowing impor-
lance as TO dwarf all other issues. If
the provisions Of this treaty are in ae-
eordanee with summary we have seen,
we think it will prevent war with Great
Britain, and therefore prove blessing.

THE bondholding influence was strong
with the Administration, to induce it to
"back down" from is position on the
Alabama claims. 1t was afraid that if
there was war with Great Britain it
would so increase our debt and diminish
our resources as to lead to the repudia-
ton of the whole Of our obligations.
Hence said influence is prepared to eat
any amount of dirt, suffer any amount
of humiliation, for the sake of the bonds
The owners of those bonds own Grant
as much as Cedric the Saxon owned
Gurth, his born thrall.

NEW YORK.
CIaHfn and WOOdhuII-Free Love
and its Consequences.

New York, May determination in
the case of Jas. n. Blood, charged with
assaulting Mrs. Annie Clafin, was be-
gun yesterday evening at the Essex
Market Police Court Much Of the tes-
timony was utterly unfit for publication.
Mrs. Clahin reiterated her former state
ment as 70 Blood's threats to murder
her, and that he had once attempted it,
but was prevented by her daughter Vic
toria. In conclusion she said: Before
these free-lovers came into my family |
had the sweetest family that was ever
on earth, but this internal free
love destroyed it all" Mrs. Mary
Spar, daughter Of Mrs. Clahin,
corroboraied her mothers testimony in
respect to Blood having threatened her
life, and testified that it was the declared
intentions Of other members Of the fam
lily to put the mother in an insane asy-
Ium, and that Victoria, her sister, had
twice married Blood, having been once
divorced from him. Mr.. Blood having
been sworn, denied ever having threat
ened the life Of Mrs. Clahin, and testi-
fed that he had been twice married, but
that he procured divorce from his first
wife before marrying Mrs. Woodruff.
He admitted, as Mrs. Claain had as
serted, that DIR. Woodruff, the former
husband Of his wife, lived in the same
house with them all The examination
was then adjourned until to-day.
Captain Samuels' new yacht, Dread
nought, will be ready for inspection to
day, after which she will 20 on special
trial trip. 1t is understood no one will
be allowed on Board during the trip ex'
cept the captain, officers and crew. She
viii probably start tomorrow, and the
trip is expectd to last about ten or fif
teen days.

A New treatment for smnII.Pox

a new lreattHtnt iOF ohh"ht-A VA
DIR. j. J. Garth Wilkinson, of London
has called the attention of the medical
world to a new method OF treating small
pox, which he has tried in four cases, of
varied degrees Of violence, with com
plete success. In these cases he used
hydrdstiS cGn0densis and UerGtram VI
ride, both internally and locally as a
lotion. The former, he says, extin-
cuisines the varioloid poison, while the
latter renders theEskin and cellular It's
sues incombustible. With regard to diet,
he advises a judiciouss use. of brandy
and water, claret, Carlowitz or Hunga-
rian wines (port when the patient has
begun to mend), beef tea and lin conva-
lesenoe) fruit He claims for this treat
ment that it abridges the duration of the
disease, makes it almost painless, sub
dues the Inflammation and primary
fever, annuls the secondary fever,
checks pustulation, prevents all itch
ing, stencil and scanning, and
saves the patient from any but
the slightest pitting. He also claims
for the hydrastis that it is an effective
prophylactic or preventive to ward off
the approach of the disease. He has
published a pamphlet on the subject,
which has attracted much attention in
London, and which no doubt will have
wide circulation among the profession
in this country. The plant named hy-
drastis canadenSis is found within the
limits of New York State and probably
elsewhere in this country, and its tine
ture is made and sold for medical pur-
poses, The plant is popularity called
orange root, and sometimes yellow puc-
coon, but it must not be confounded
with another plant commonly called
puccoon.

VERSAILLES, May Is, via BouLoGNE,
May Let has now been determined
that the assault on Paris should take
place tomorrow. There are 10000 men
in the Bots de Boulogne ready for the
signal Of attack. The Versaillists have
dug trenches close to the ramparts. The
breach near the Antenil gate is now
large enough to admit an omnibus, and
the ditch around the rampant is still un-
occupied. Paris is firing very feebly,
and there is every appearance of inter
nal strife within the walls.
VERSAILLES, May l6.-The crisis is at
hand. The army of Versailles is massed
under the walls of Paris, and only await
the signal for the attack. Huge bate
ries are ready the instant the order is
given to pour forth terrible fire into
the city. The breaches already created
by the bombardment are large and nu-
merous. The Antenil gate has been al
most entirely destroyed. a large Douy
of troops are massed in Bots de Bou-
logne ready for the attack
1t is probable that the assault may be
made on Porte Maillot, an attack being
made simultaneously on Porte du Jour,
where the insurgent defenses have been
almost demolished, and where an en-
trance might be easily effected. Mean
while everything is in readiness, and the
grand and final coupe is imminent, and
may take place at any moment.
The Congress of Delegates from the
different municipalities of France,
which was called to assemble at Lyons,
has been jisbanded in consequence of
the non-attendance of delegates.

CIVIL RIGHTS CASE.

road Sued for uncomfortable In
Favor of Defendant.
The following we take from the Gren-
ada Sentinel Of the 18th. The party
mentioned has figured, somewhat con-
spicuously in this city in former days:
One of the most interesting cases
which has ever been tried in Grenada
county, came up before his honor Judge
Niles, of the Circuit Court, on Tuesday
last, and drew very large crowd Of
people 10 the courthouse. As has
already been mentioned in the Sentinel,
Ham Carter well known colored poll
tician arrived here on the Central train
about the 9TH Of last August, with his
wife, bound for Memphis. Carter took
his, wife into the ladies car Of the Missis-
sippi and Tennessee train, from which
she was ordered into the next car.
Hereupon Carter sued the railroad com
pasy for $4,000 damages, and the case
came upas before stated. Carter and his
wife swore that the car into which the
latter was put was filthy aud nauseous,
and having paid firstclass fare was en-
titled to a frst-elass car, which was for
chilly denied her. The defense proved
that the whole thing was put up Job "
for the purpose Of getting up a damage
suit; that Carter had stated that he was
out of work just then, and intended to
travel until he found some fool condue.
tor who would trys to put hun out Of a
frst-class car; that when Carriers wife
was asked why she objected to go into
the first car, she said them country
niggers stunk too much for her" The
defense proved that the conductor has
made every exertion to find out the law OF
the subject, but Carter came upon hin
before the law, which had only beer
passed few days, was generally known
I The defense having established the fac
that Carriers wife was not injured; tina
she reached her destination safe and OF
time; that no insult was offered her. tina
the conductor, in ordering her from on
car to another, had acted in ignoranci
Of the law, and that the suit was pu
up job on the part Of the plaintiff. Wit
this evidence the jury, which was com
posed Of FIVE colored and seven whit
men. returned in about twenty-five min
utes, and brought in a verdict in favor o
defendant. Carter, We understand, ha
appealed.

A WRITER in the Golden Age asserts
that all our important periodicals are
the property of large publishing houses
and That this fact shapes their cbarac-
ter; that they are edited so as to onend
nobody who could by any possibility oe-
sire to buy any of the books published
by the owners of these periodicals, and
hence are without any decided opinions,
or at all events without any opinions
which are new or unpopular. So close
is this monopoly of periodicals said to
be that it is made practically impossible
for any private person to establish a
magazine of his own, inasmuch as he is
charged snch high prices for paper and
printing, and such an enormous com
mission by the news companies as to
amount to a virtual prohibition upon his
enterprise.

THE Republican papers come to the
support of the bill giving General Grant
the powers Of dictator, upon the iriv-
olous pretense that it is necessary to
suppress few local desperadoes in the
South in the feeblest manner. They're
cogniGe at heart the monstrosity oil the
measure, and are naturally faint in its
advocacy. 1t is lamentable that the IN
fluence of party spirit should prevent
them from speaking out boldly apd man
fully their true convictions. Too vio-
lent attachment to party organization
has ever been the hane of Republics,
and it promises to be the ruin and de-
struction of that of 1889.

Drumming for trade is what most

Drumming for trade is good. OuI
Memphis ladies will now learn for thu

and that their visitors expect their calls

Since the present fashion of high
heeled shoes came in vogue all the corn
doctors-or, as they prefer to be called,
the surgeon chiropodists-are amassing
wealth at frightful rate. The crop of
corns bunions, blisters, and in-growing
toe nails, already immense, is constantly
increasing, and if the fashion holds as
long as, on account of its absurdity we
predict it will, corn doctoring will be-
come respectable, and colleges of chi
ropody will spring up all over the
country. Woman has heroic elements
in her nature, and clings with the most
obstinate devotion to the particular
fashion which violates physiological law,
entails the greatest amount of suffering,
and excites the most ridicule in the op-
posite sex. After three years of high
heeled shoes it will be considered vulgar,
if not disgraceful, for woman to be
able to walk.

strawberry FESTIVAL.

The ladies of the First Presbyterian
Church inaugurated delightful fair and
festival last evening at Rocco Hall
The Hall is elegantly decorated, and the
tables are grooming beneath the weight
of the good things of life. The ice
cream and strawberries are served up by
young ladies, who smile so bewitchingly
that the appetite for strawberries is lost
in the tomb of the Capulets, where fair
Juliet found a resting place. But not
withstanding this array of beauty, many
of the sterner sex managed to remove
divers plates of Strawberries and cream
during the evening, at which the ladies
smiled more charmingly than ever, well
knowing that to keep men in COED
humor and make them liberal, you must
feed them. Indeed, you would take
Rocco Hall to be Paradise, where the
naiads and angels dwelt, were it not for
the inartistic apparition Of the biped-
man - on the premises. But they
are not able to destroy the illusion
at last - the flowers blooming in
beauty and sending forth the sweet
est perfumes, the array of female love
illness, the Nilssonian sweetness OF
female voices that struggles through the
masculine ear to the heart, and the ar
tistie appearance of the hall, prove that
the First Presbyterian festival will be a
popular place Of resort during the week.
In the center Of the hall Rebeecas, OF
Jacobs Well-we know not which-(bqt
we give preference to Rebecca), is a
charming roek-bound, ivy-clasped re-
treat, where the traveller, wearied by the
world, can find a refreshing draught,
which will give him new hope, like the
tabled beverage Of the ancients, the
Elixer Of Life. To this festival cordial
invitation is extended to all, and the
business men are especially invited to
attend the lunch spread daily from 2 tc
3 o'clock.

Picnics are curious affairs. If man
happened to put his arm around an.
others wife or daughter when there was
no music for warrant, derringers would
be forthcoming, but music makes all the
difference in the world; so long as the
fiddle plays he can clasp either and
whirl around like bowling Dervish.
This is queer; but who can doubt the
power of music when it thus hallows
what otherwise would be esteemed in

WASHINGTON.
The New York Central Railroad
Dividend Tax.

WASHINGTON, May l6.-The rumor in
circulation in New York yesterday that
Commissioner Pleasanton had decided
the New York Central railroad dividend
tax case is without foundation. The
opinion of Attorney General Akerman
on the dividend has been promulgated
to-day. 1t is published under special
direction of Secretary Boutwell,, through
the Internal Revenue Bureau, and ere
ates considerable comment here among
politicians, and it is considered will have
great political significance
The matter stands thus: Gen. Pleas
antofP and Col. William McMichael, So
licitor of Internal Revenue, undoubtedly
with the sanction Of the President, on
the one side, advocating a fair and lib
eral construction of the law, which would
make it favor taxpayers and to very
limited extent tighten the burden of tax
alton from the people. On the other
hand Secretary Boutwell,, under the
opinion of the Attorney General, which
gives the law the strictest possible con-
struction, puts on the screws for every
dollar obtainable, and reverses Pleasan-
tons decision.
Lawyers of as great legal ability as
the Attorney General freely maintain
that his opinion in this case is not good
law, except so far as it treats regarding
tax on salaries of United States en-
ployes. Besides this, Pleasanton con-
fered with both the Finance and Ways
and Means Committees regarding the
intention of the law, and is embodied in
his decision just overruled by MI. Bout
we'll.

There is to be held in this city, on the

of all the planters in this and adjoining
States to consult together fore their mu-

up a delegation of earnest workers for
the discussion and adoption of measures
promot;ve of emigration and increased
labor. VIII not our merchants and bust
ness community exert themselves in Sc
curing this assemblage, and the Cham
Der of Commerce look to it to see this
is made a rousing convention2 The
question of labor has become a very
important one in the South, and every
farmer is directly interested in its solu-
ton. Let the planters from every
direction meet in this city on the
LIST and I'd of June to consult
together and devise some means for the
better control Of labor in the South, that
the waste places Of the country may
again be made to bloom and blossom as
before the war. We have here the soil
and climate, and labor we must have
and in counsel there is wisdom. So let
the planters come to our city at the time
specified. Let the merchants Of our
city, whose interest is identical with the
planter, send notice Of this convention
to their customers, and let there be a
rousng meeting. VIII not our country
exchanges also lend a helping-hand anC
call attention to this meeting in thei
papers2 We expect to see large dele

The carpet-bag bayonet rule of the
South has fastened upon the several
States debt of about two hundred mil
lions of dollars, most of which went into
the pockets Of the thieves appointed by
Radical despots to rule oyer rs. The
result is that our railroads are being
sold or leased to pay that debt, thereby
taking from the South the chief agent of
its resuscitation and making it still more
abjectly tributary to the North, and soul
less aggressions of capital.
