Tho Geoaya Arbitration

AT the completion of the business session of
the Geneva Arbitrators, Count Sclopis congra-
tulatuted the board ON the great importance of
its action in the following speech:
sat the moment that the knot of those COM
plications which threatened to prevent the ex-
ecution of the treatry is about to be cut,
when our labors are about to take their
free and regular course, permit me, dear and
honored colleagues, to assure you how highly
appreciate the distinguished honor of sitting
with you in this tribunal on which the eyes of
the civilized world are now fixed. Let me ex-
press my gratitude for the fattering mark of
confidence bestowed in placing me in the presi-
Dental chair, distinction unmerited by me.
The tribunal signifies that new direction
has been giveh to the ideas governing the policy
of nations most advanced in civilization, in
which an elevated sphere of politics prevails
over the tendencies of ancient routine and
wars, and place the interests of humanity
above those of policy, Such work is hailed by
every generous heart as a fulfilment of the
wishes expressed in the Congress of Paris in
1885, to refer the points of difference to friend
ly powers. Thanks to the initiative of states
men of England and the United States this
idea bears fruit, and history will tell how,
always be left open for the settlement of a dis
pute peacefully. This must have required
great firmness of conviction and devotion to
the interests of humanity.
Ihe Prime Munster OF England has spoken
of the treaty as an example to all other nations
Let us, gentlemen, congratulate ourselves on
assisting in this work, and hope that the joyful
anticipation may be fulfilled and that the old
maxim of might conquers right will disap-
pear Do not despair because we are called to
consider the question after prolonged negotia-
tions; rather judge by the documents produced
and the arguments delivered. The longer the
investigation the safer the solution. Judge
with profound equity and absolute impartiality
We may anticipate every assistance from the
agents of both Sides and counsel who an emf
nent jurisconsults, and known all over the
world.
As we are engaged in work of peace affect
ing the interests of humanity everywhere, you,
like myself, will desire to be the means of pre-
venting future wars. In the words of the great
George Washington, IF there be one truth
firmly established, it is that there is a relation
ship between the pure maxims of an honest,
magnanimous policy and the solid rewards of
prosperity and public happiness. >"

restoration of his health. In letter dated
at Lincoln, Nebraska, June IS, he says:
"One would think from the tone of
the newspapers that the people out West
were really divided and excited over
the political questions, divisions and compli-
cations. But the excitement is all in the pa
pers. The distrust and denunciation of
Grant are all in the papers. The people, so
far as have seen, and have journeyed thou
sands of miles since the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, are quite unanimous that the Admins
tration has been on the whole wise, judcious,
and successful, and that the present incum-
bent of Presidential honors should wear and
shall wear those honors for another term.

The Office. seekers, Candidate.

We have hitherto adverted to the fact that
so far as Maine is concerned Mr.. Greeley
draws from the Republican ranks no men of
any prominence who are not disappointed
aspirants for office. And is not this the dis
tinguishing characteristic of his candidacy?
Look over the country and find, if you can,
dozen prominent Republicans who advocate
Greeley's election, who did not start on the
path that leads to the Democratic party when
furious with rage on account of some great or
imaginary, personal slight Beginning with
Charles A. Dana, Editor of the New York
Sun, the first, most bitter and most unscru-
pulous of all his foes,-a man who just before
Grants election, when he supposed that fine
words would be repaid by the most lucrative
Office in the Presidents gift, spoke in terms
of the most fulsome eulogy of Gen. Grants
excellent private character as matter within
his own personal knowledge, nine out ofevery
ten of the prominent Greeley Republicans
base their opposition to Grant on equally
selfish grounds. Indeed the only body of
Republicans who seem to possess really cred
liable motives for their apostasy, are Bryant,
Atkinson, and the other free traders who re-
fused to accept the conclusions of the New
York Conference of the Goth inst, and who
put Groesbeck and Olmsted in nomination.
These free traders give the best possible proof
of their sincerity. Their minds are too logi-
cal to permit the commission of so gross an
error as is involved in rejecting Grant on the
ground of principle, and simultaneously ig-
noring all semblance of principle by accept
ing the candidacy of the high priest of protec-
ton, the most adroit of wire-pullers and the
most persistent and conspicuous of office
seekers. So they eject both Greeley and
Grant, nominating in their stead gentleman
whose electoral ticket cannot by any posi-
bility command a majority of the votes in
any State. These men alone of all Grants
active enemies are entitled to credit for un
selfshness and sincerity. They are very few
in number, however, and any President, who
after single term of Office, finds that he has
failed to meet the wishes and to satisfy the
expectations of so .fe,o men ofhonest purposes,
and patriotic impulses, may well congratulate
himself on his success. Mr.. Bryant and his
friends have little reason, it seems to us, for
their distrust of the man who has never
broken one Of his pledges and who has never
stopped to play the demagogue, but they have
shown, unlike the Greeley Republicans, that
eager self-seeking and personal disappoint-
ments are not at the bottom of their political
action. The detection of such men from the
thin ranks of the Greeley Republicans is ofim-
mense consequence, and the Cincinnati can
didates will now go to Baltimore with such a
meagre following from their own camp as
would not commend them to the favorable
consideration of any body of men who had
not already passed the stage of hearing argu-
ments or attempting to reason.

EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN-One Hundred Per-
sons Killed.-Hong Kong advices state that a
recent earthquake almost completely destroyed
the large town seaport of Homada, in Japan.
The number Of people killed is estimated at five
hundred. AS the earthquake occurred at about
the hour devoted to the evening meal, the re-
mains of kitchen fires were still smouldering,
aud gniting the debris of fallen timber, it far
ed up into confagration, thus adding to the
terror of the sufferers.
The earthquake appears to have lasted con-
siderable time, and SO severe were the shocks
that the terror-stricken population were unable
to walk and were obliged to crawl away on
their hands and knees as best they could. Many
large assures and crevices opened up in and
about the town, from which sea water gushed
forth in plentiful streams.

MANY intelligent men will rejoice to learn
that the Supreme Court has declared against
the validity of the act of our Legislature to
compel towns to pay orders to men who used
the proceeds to avoid going into the army.
1t was regarded then as unpatriotic, if not semi
reasonable and the measure was carried
through the Legislature after repeated trials.
Several small spectators who were 50 nroent
to secure the enactment of the law, and who
had previously bought up such orders for
mere song, will be sorely disappointed by this
very just decision of the Court.

A sHREwD scheme of the Missouri Demo-
Gratis, with Gratz Brown at their head, has
come to naught. Missouri is entitled to four
more thau its present number of Congressman,
and the State being likely to go Democratic,
they refused to redistrict it, expecting to elect
them all on a general ticket. The legislature
had adjourned, when it was ascertained that
under the State law there was no provision for
electing the four additional electors to which
the State was entitled The Governor called
the legislature together to remedy this, when
the Senate, which is Republican, refused 90
transact any other business Until the State had
been redistricted for Congressman, and they
have maintained their position so well that the
Democrats most unwilingly assent, and the Re-
publicans will probably get at least two more
Congressman by the change.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMs.-A Washington
special says that there are insinuations afloat
there that Mr.. Charles Francis Adams has dis

acter in his relations with the agent and the
counsel of the United States at Geneva, and
while formally advocating the interests of the
country which he represents in the tribunal,
has really given aid and comfort to John Bull
If there is any foundation for this gossip, it is
the first instance in which descendant of old
John Adams has failed to exhibit the same an
tagonism to the mother country which animat-
ed that infiexible patriot. Indeed, when Mr..
Seward prevailed upon MIR. lincoln to appoint
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams Minister to Lon
don, rather thar Mr.. Dayton, who was the
President first choice, the reason which had
greater weight was that Mr. Adams had no
love for Great Britain. 1t will be strange if, at
this late day, he has displayed any improper

The Sober South.

A prominent gentleman in this city several
years since made the acquaintance of an in
tellgent business man in New Orleans at
some meeting of the Masonic fraternity and
since that time they have kept up a cores
pondence. Wehave been permitted tomake an
extract from the last letter of the New Orleans
gentleman, who, by the way, was an officer
in the rebel army and is now an influential
business man and in no way connected with
politics, except that he claims to be a Demo-
GRAFT, having always acted with that party.
The letter says: ''Warmoth is endeayoring
to produce conflict between the blacks and
whites-which if successful would result in a
war of races. The negroes placed Warmoth in
power, under Oscar j. Dunn's leadership and
they discovered the viper they had warmed
and as class are decidedly opposed to him.
Hence he desires to create a "white mans
party" THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE
SOUTH IS GRANTS REELECTION, FOR
THERE ARE STILL THOSE WHO THINK THAT
THE WAR Is NOT YET OVER. They are few
in number however, and Grants reelection
will dispel the Illusion" ''We have the ne
gro at the South-we cannot get rid of him
if we would, but by kind treatment, accord
ing him his jast rights and providing for the
education of his children, we shall be able to
elevate him and thus we will get along har-
moniously together"
We repeat, that the above are the words of a
Southern merchant and planter, who has al
ways been Democrat but never a politician.
They are the words of man of thought and
culture and represent the feelings of thous-
ands of that class.
1T is curious to observe how long certain
traditional laws and customs will last, after
they have lost the respect of everybody. and
are never mentioned except as relics of old
time stupidity. A hundred times within the
last ten years, when it has been attempted to
empanel jury for the trial of capital cases.
the gross absurdity of excluding from the
panel men who have formed or expressed an
opinion touching the guilt of the accused
and accepting only men who are incapable of
forming an opinion, has been dwelt upon
with every expression of contempt and dis
gust. Just now the trial of Stokes for the
murder of Fisk is delayed day after day
at immense cost on account of the natural
difficulty of finding twelve men who avow
themselves to be born fools. 1t has been
suggested in order to save further delay and
expense that requisition be made on the
authorities of Blackwelrs Island for twelve
idiots. Yet no serious effort has ever been
made either in New York Or any other State
to change this vicious system, which only
serves to defeat the ends of Justice in this age
of newspapers, telegraphs and railroads. The
vis inertide of the world is tremendous. and
we go on trying the most important cases
with the least competent jures, just as we
pay woman teacher third as much for
keeping good school, as we do man for
keeping poor one-because our fathers did
before us.
