FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, 10. There is information
from Geneva which warrants the assertion
that since the exclusion of claims for indi-
rect damages, the business before the tribunal
of arbitrators has been favorable to this gov
eminent, and that several awards for direct
damages have been agreed upon, the indica-
lions being that on the conclusion of the ad-
Judicatlon gross sum will be awarded to the
Unite" States, thereby avoiding the reference
OF the subject to a board of commission. 1t
should not be expected that the particulars
can now be officially given as the proceedings
of the tribunal are conducted in secret, and
as the information furnished to our govern
ment is OF the same character,
On inquiry to-day at the department of
State 1t was ascertained that there is no truth
whatever in the wildly published statement
that President Grant recently requested act
ing Secretary Hunter to furnish the Union
Congressional Committee with complete
copy of all the scandalous reports made to the
department against Casius M. Clay while
Minister to Russia, and General Fitzpatrick,
Minister to Chill. 1t is not known that there
are any reports of that character in the de-
partment, and certainly the President made
no such request of Hunter.
Gen. Howard having denied that he ever
had any conversation with the Secretary of
War.as that from which David Clark pro-
tessed to quote his language and asserted that
he would not therefore have made so untrue
report, Mr.. Clark calls upon the Secretary
to publish the letter written by him to Gen.
Howard, copies of which he was informed as
he alleges by that officer were placed in the
hands OF the President and Secretary of War;
Both the President and Secretary deny that
such copies were ever received by them, and
assert that the idea of their having desired
the dismissal Of the colored cadet was pre-
scented to them for the first time in a letter
from Clark published in the Tribune of July
3lst, the absurdity of which they conceived
to be fully demonstrated by the fact of the
record that when the cadet was subsequently
actually sentenced to be dismissed upon
ample legal proof, his sentence was mitigated
by the substitution of extremely light punish
ment.
Contracts for naval supplies for the pres
ent fiscrl year, bids for which were opened
in the bureau of construction and repairs
several weeks since, were awarded day

LETTER FROM CAMDEN.
NOW THE CAMPAIGN LOOKs-GREE-
LEY STOCK low.

CAMEEN, Aug. Il.
The campaign in Knox county commenced
last Monday with mass meeting at Rock
land under favorable auspices. A large au-
dience listened to the speaking of Governor
Noyes of Ohio, Speaker Blaine and Hon.
Eugene Hale. A flag raising and torchlight
procession added greatly to the interest of
the occasion. Knox county has gone demo-
cratic for the past few years. Matters of To-
cal interest have in measure made it SO,
but change has taken place, and the pros
poets for republican gain in Knox county
are fairer to-day than they have been for
some time past. The majority of the young
men will vote for Grant and Wilson, and
there are some democrats who will vote for
Grant instead of Greeley, while on the other
hand, in this village, (and the Greeley stock
in this village is no weaker than elsewhere
in the county, there are but three outspoken
Greeley men who have voted heretofore the
republican ticket. These three men are can
didates for the Custom House, and one of
them has been candidate for the past twelve
years. Disappointed in not nominating
Knowlton for Representative at the conven-
ton in Ellsworth they left the party, and
went over on the Greeley side for the sake of
office, as is the case from the disappointed

Sumner down to the humbie,t d;saooo;nted
would-be postmaster. These three men were
vice presidents at the speaking of Theodore
Tilton in Rockport last Thursday night and
impaired dignity to the occasion. Tilton
said some things that the democrats did not
like in regard to opposing the late war, etc.,
and it is reported that his speaking made
some converts for Grant and Wilson. BY
the way, it just occurred to me, that the
above mentioned Greeley man who has been
after the Custom House for twelve years, is
going to vote for Perham instead Of KIM
ball.
Last Tuesday night there was large and
enthusiastic meeting at Vinalhaven, presided

ITO DE WEAK IS MISERABLE.
Never was truer sentence written than
this-supposed to be wrung from this Arch
fiend in his impotence and agony. Every
victim of nervous debility, or that of de-
pressing languor which is one of the accom-
paniments of dyspepsia and blliousness, can
testify to the misery of mind and body which
they involve. The motive power of the sys-
TEN is partially paralyzed; the mind is haunt
ed by anxiety and fear; and the sufferer is as
incapable of applying himself energetically
to any kind of business as if he were under
the benumbing influence of catalepsy. The
terrible mental and physical condition need
not, however, be endured for forty eight
hours by any human being. PLANTATION BIT
TIERS is an absolute specific for all the tor
ments which deraAged stomach, disorder
ed liver, and shattered nerves, superinduce.
