The London Morning Post of the 18th ult., has
long article to prove the unfitness of Hon.
Charles Francis Adams an impartial arbitra-
tor At the Geneva conference, and says that the
tact of his presence at a late meeting of the
American Cabinet "implies that the functions
he will be called upon to discharge are those
rather of an interested party than of judge,
otherwiie il would be impossible to recon Gle
with common propriety his expressing an opin-
ion on asubject which might ultimately be sub
mitteG TO him judicially." The Post then goes
on TO say that 1.-The President may therefore be
content that Sir Alexander Cockburn should
eyince a. strong a bias in favor OF Great Britain
as Mr.. Adams will do towards his country, and
that the remaining three srbitrators should
virtually constitute the court for the decision of
the points at issue,'' &c. Now the fact of the
matter Is that Mr.. Adams has never attended
meeting OF President Grants cabinet conse-
futEtly the Posts article is wholly based on
false premises. The facts in the case are that
OF his recent return from Europe, Mr.. Adams
came to Washington to confer with the Secre-
tary OF State In reference to the Alabama matter
and to give him an idea of the state of feeling
IN Europe on the subject. On the next aay
after his arrival he called upon the Secretary of
State, and, desiring to pay his respects to the
President, went tie the White House accompa-
MED by Secretary Fish. II happened to be
Cabinet day, and in consequence of Mr.. Adams
presence, and the desire OF the members of the
Cabinet to confer with Mr.. A. in a friendly vav
the session OF the Cabinet did not open until
half an hour after the usual time. Mr. Adams
was not present during the session of the Cabi-
net, fact which TIE STAR was particular to
state at the time. Mr.. Adams was conferring
with the President when the members began to
arrive, and remained only long enough to
receive a friendly greeting from them as they
came in.

The joint committee of the Maryland Legis-
ture on the claim of the state to one fifth of the
passenger transportation money on the Wash
ington branch, report that the company ought
TO be released from the payment of any portion
OF the future receipts for passenger transporta-
ton on the said branch road, and from all re-
ceipts from that source since the first day of
January, 1872, and ought also to be exempted
from taxation on said branch road, and the
company ought to pay to the state in perpetuity
the annual sum OF twenty five thousand dollars.
The state OF Maryland finds it hard to give up
the highwayman's tolls che has heretofore levied
upon the passengers through her territory. and
though compelled to by the courts still hopes to
secure the annual sum of SIS 900 in perpetuity.

The tenacity with which our English eous;ns
adhere to ancient customs is exemplified by the
failure OF all attempts hitherto to effect the re-
zeal OF an absurd law which prohibits marriages
any day after II O'Clock noon. The statute has
long survived the reasons, if any, which
prompted its enactment, and yet there are con-
servative Britons, who look upon attempts to
abolish II as little short Of sacrilege. There is
talk IL England of amending their burial laws.
and TIE Pal Mall Gazette thinks they had better
revise the marriage laws also, in which opinion
we concur if this morning regulation is fair
sample of the code.

And now Crane, in order to protract the
investigation of the District government, is
sending his subpenas to New York, Boston,
and all along shore. In the way he is going
on, this groundless investigation will cost the
government from $50 900 or 500, 600 His own
ices as a standing witness will foot up rather
fornidably. Two dollars a day is a god send to
men like Crane, Severson, and Watson, who
have unlimited time on their hands.

Tie outrageous use of the powers of subpoena
irg witnesses from all quarters allowed to Crane
y Co. in the investigation before the District
committee, was illustrated to-day by their
bringing here from New York, at heavy expense
to the government, witness to testify As to the
value OF concrete pavements, who, when placed
upon the stand, declared that he knew nothing
about them. The same reckless laundering at
the expense Of the government was shown in
summoning Mr. Nathan Sargent and numerous
other witnesses, who were called upon to testify
concerning matters OF which they knew nothing.

"Why sir" replied Franklin, II

ing at a loss, on account of my pow
erty, whether to reject it or not
thought I would put it to this issue.

DOL or Mutton

Now that sheep are again attract
Ing attention, the advocates for the
different breeds are waxing warm.
When either one confines himself to
setting forth the merits Of a particu-
lar variety, he generally does not
ovsrrate the good points of his IA
y%orite; but when he institutes
parsons with a view to prove that
Under all circumstances a particular
breed is better than all others, he
seems to US to go wide of the truth.
We believe there are few localities
in this country, whore improved
stock of tins class can be grown at
all, in which either Of the better
breeds, in the hands of Il thorougb
shepherd, would not for a series Of
years prove reasonably renumeratiyo.
At the same time, we entertain little
doubt that some varieties would, un-
der certain conditions of soil, climate
and accessibility to market, prove
more progtable than others.
1t seclms highly probable that
both mutton and wool can be grown
on the great central plains of the
United States, in open competition
with the production of South Amer
lea, Australia, or elsewhere; and at
the same time there is no more rea-
son to suppose hat sheep husbaudry
IN the older States will thus bo rem
dered Improbable, than that he
sheep hnsbandry OF Germany, France
or England will be superseded and
become a thing OF the past from the
SAINT cause. The incidental bene-
hts OF sheep raising to the general
agriculture are such as to insure the |
contmuaco Of that branch of live
stock husbsndry aud as soils are
more ard more heavily taxed, in the
production OF annual crops, the de-
mand for sheep win be more ard
The varieties to be
gro u may be safe left to local
conditions, and the iudiyi nal pre-
ference of each shepherd or flrmer
