Judge Bedford upon indictments found

Judge Barnard upon Writs of habeas

for FIELDS The former is charged on
two indictments with forgery in the
third degree, and the latter is charged
with bribery and felony. We are to
have more arrests, but what we want is
speedy trials. This thing Of making ar

the fact that the alleged delinquents

The Alabama Claims.


So far as any credible intelligence
goes, the present buster in England
over the Treaty of Washington, is an
outside affair, raised by the Tory party
TO unseat the Gladstone government.
Should the latter choose to imperil the
peaceful,rclations of the two countries
rather than risk its hold on power, 1t
may prove to be triumph more dearly
purchased than any yet recorded in the
history Of political contests. 1t is pre-
posterous that any one of the parties to
a solemn treaty should seek to withdraw
Itself from the agreement before the
case has been fairly submitted. The
treaty does not preclude the presentation
on our side of indirect or consequential
damages but it does provide that the
Commission shall pass finally upon them
with all other claims, and by that decis-
ion both sides have agreed to be bound.
The London journals are engaged simply
in an attempt to rule the American
claims out of court, instead of permit
ting them to be heard and adjudcated
as agreed, The obvious blunder was in
letting our case get out, and thus fur
nishing the opportunity for the English
press and politicians to discuss it in adj
vance before the country. The British
government has been more wary, and
It's statement is not yet known to the
outside world.
The solemn faith Of the English gov
eminent is pledged to carry out the
stipglatiGns of the treaty; they have
appointed commissioners and counsel to
represent them at the Conference at &C.
neva, and we see as yet no indications,
on their part, of any intention to 'back
out'' Such a course on her part would
lead to serious complications. if they did
not involve actual and immediate war
We believe that England will hesitate
long before she deliberately violates her
opEghted faith with us, and throws down
the gauntlet of war. Before we can
come to this conclusion we shall wait
for something more than has yet tran
spired.

have been printed by Messrs. William

names of the exhibitor and the officers
of the society will be inscribed. At the
top on either hand are represented the
manufacturing and shipping interests by

fishing smack at anchor. Beneath these
are vignettes representing the back

OUR IRISH LETTER.

DUBLIN, Nov. 21st, 1872
The contests in Cork and Derry still the
chief topics with us here in ireland. Very
great and growing interest is manifested in
both of them, though after all that interest is
not quite SO absorbing that which centred
round the GALWAY and Kerry contests, ten
months ago. In Derry the non,in alton of the
various candidates took place on Wednesday,.
The old method was entirely dispensed with.
Instead of being proposed in open court by
electors who were never listened to, the candi-
dates were this time, in accordance with the
provisions of the Ballot Act, nominated in
private room in the Mayors house, by means
of papers signed in each Individual case by
proposer, seconder and eight other electors.
MT. Biggar, the Home Rule candidate, Mr..
Palles, the Attorney General, Mr.. McCorkell
and Mr.. Lewis, all put in an appearance, not
withstanding the utmost efforts of BIZ. Lewis
party to get Mr.. Biggar to retire. The atti-
tude of the Catholic Bishop, and probably of
his clergy, too, which had been uncertain up
to Wednesday,. was on that day made known
by the Most Rev. DIR. Kellys having become
one of Mr. Palles' nominators. For a brief
period this action of his lordship continued to
do some harm to MT Biggars candidature; but
the people soon Fecollected that DIR. Kelly, I'M
like most of his venerated oonfreres, had always
been q Wing when he interfered In politics at
