THE TREATY SURRENDER.
Excitement and Indignaiion OF the
Northern Press.

The sensation OF the hour at the North, just
now, rlvalling In interest even the Presiden-
tial muddle, is the backdown of the admins
tralion from It's claim OF consequential dam
ages against England. The effect on the New
York Herald is truly startling. 1t comes bold
ly TO the front with flags flying, drums beating
and guns levelled, and breathes out threaten
ings and slaughter against the British Govern
ment, the while It soundly cudgsls and
belaborB our own. The whole contro-
versy 1t considers hollow mockery
In view Of the humillatlng know
ledge" that while We have altogether
the best of the argument, we "weaken" be-
fore the superior boldness" OF the English
statesmen, aud degrade ourselves by enter
tanning their .'insolent demand" for our "un-
conditional surrender" The "tlmldity or In
capacity" OF our diplomatic officers receive the
sharpest scourging which the Herald thong Is
capable Of inflctiDg. "We have had quite
enough" It says, "of weak fish, Jelly fish and
Spanish mackerel in our diplomacy" Those
among the senators who counsel the "lnfa-
nous surrender" will also be pIllorIed by an
avenglng public, and secret diplomatic nego.
tlatIons have had their day. AS for the "cou-
merclal fossils and charlutans" who counsel
an acceptance of the national disgrace" and
a consumption Of humble pie ad ti6itu,a, the
Herald has no words 10 adequately express 8
supreme disdan. The New York Sun gives
the drift of public sentiment on The subject In
the following editorial:
THE SUPPLEMENTAL TREATY.
The supplemental treaty for the settlement
OF the Alabama controversy really cOutains
nothing but Inc abandonment by the Govern.
ment of the United States OF It's demand for In
direct damages. This abandonment shonld
properly be the act of the President alone. He
made the demand for thess indirect damages
before the tribunal at Geneva Without consult
ing The Senate, and he has The same power 10
Withdraw It as he had to make 1t. There Is
10 need for any supplemental treaty, or for
going to The Senate with the subject. In
shUrt, the only purpose OF this supple
mental treaty is to relieve General Grant
OF The responsibility OF undolDg his own act
ann retracllng his own indecent blunder by
putting upon The Senate the responsibility Of
advising and consenling 10 the retracllon.
AS The demand for indirect damages was In
Sci ted ln the treaty without any expectation
that IL would be allowed by the arblrators, or
that any money wonld ever be received on
account Of 1t, and as 1t is no longer denied
that this demand was mere piece of peltifug
ging buncombe, sham and humoug, 50
this supplemental treaty, with the ceremony
uf Its Submission to the Senate, Is another
piece OF buhcombe, another sham and hum
bug. If the President spes, as he virtually
contesses that he does see, that the case
which he presented at Geneva Is bad and un-
juslihable, why doesn't he withdraw 1t square
ly and manfuIy, and why does he attempt to
impllcate The Senate In the farce Of this sup

A CLERGYMAN DEPOSED.
From the Savannah Republican,

From the Savannah Repu0llcan.I
A circumstance has occurred in our city
which we chronicle with Infinite regret, espec-
Ia ly In view Of the CAUSES which led To IL, aud
The scandal it Is calculated to bring upon the
highest aud most sacred OF human call1ngs.
For some weeks past the character and cun-
nuct OF Rev. Dr.. j. N. Mitchell, rector of
Christ Church, has been severely commented
upon In private circles. aud number OF re-
spec;able citizeus went so far as tn charge him
with acts wholly Inconsistent with Christian
character and unbecUmlDg gentleman.
These rumors coming 10 the ears oil the Vestry
of the church, that body, with the bishop Vi
the diocese, r. sulred TO investigate them 10
The butlom, feeling quite assured, as indeed
did The great body IF the community, that they
were slandelous aud hud their origin In y
spirit of lecklessness and persecution. They
pursued the unwelcome Inquiry With both zeal
and candor, aud from all The evidence ayailuble
at The time, came to the conclusion that the
accused rector vas innocent Ut the charges
alleged against him; aud sucn was the formal
public announcement OF his bishop to the as
sembled congregation. Within Inc last few
days, these injurious reports assumed q still
stronger form, with testimony and clrcum-
stances calculated to shake tue confidence OF
the church, and even Of the personal friends OF
the accused, In his innocence. The investiga-
ton was renewed, pressed, until finally Inc
developments were of character so clear and
cogent as to remove all doubt OF his guilt. The
bishop and vesLry, Without exception, showed
this conviction, u nd 1t was determined lOrCn-
with to yindlcate the church by removing The
cause of offence. Accordingly, on yesterday,
Rev. j. M. Mitchell was deprived of his pulpit,
and formally deposed from the ministry. BY
order of the bishop OF the diocese. He had left,
with his family, the evening previous, Tor the
State of Maine, Of which he ls q native. This
unhappy event has created no little excite
ment in our community, and all appear 10 de-
More IL. MIR. Mitchell came to our city about
four years ago, having been chosen TO the rec
lorsiip made vacant by the death of the la
mented Elliott. He appeared devoted 10 his
work, was popular as a minister and as man,
and TO the public eye pure and jealous fol.

TIE METHODIST SCANDAL.

NEW YORK, May 20.
In the Methodist Genera. Conference To-day,
In alluding to the Book Concern, DR.. Lanahan
said that j. F. Porter, who used to purchase
paper for the concern, was penitentiary con-
vict, and that the whole concern, editors, Sec
r.larles and agents. were concerned In oil
speculalions, to the damage of the church.
There were loud Interruptions and cries OF or.
der, and counter cries Of hear The doctor out.

nanists on the common schools, concludes
with resolutions to oppose to the utmost the

more engines, the run shall be made over. In
case, however, Of an accident happening to
the engine before the trial comes of, the
judges are empowered to change its turn, 30
that the run Is not altogether lost.
18th. After The run and play, each engine will
be allowed five minutes to retire from the
we'll; no person beyond the judges shall be al
lowed to call time.
9Th. Companies must not have any hose on
the ground when the reel crosses the line;
the hose properly adjusted on the reel, must
be supported independently by the same.
THE CONTEST
began at little after twelve o'clock and lasted
until the shades of evening had commenced
to fall, the crowd momentarlly increasing and
the enthusiasm at times reaching fever height,
but with all the noisy demonstrativeness that
characterized the crowd there was but few
manifestations of i'll temper, and no quarrel
ling or other dIsorderly conduct occurred.
Most of the engines made very good time on
the run, and two of them, the Ashley and
Union Star, tied at one minute and thirty Sec
onds. According to the rules these engines
were required 10 repeat the contest, which re-
aulted In the Union Star again making one
minute and thirty seconds, aud tie Ashley
coming In In one minute and thirty-four Sec
onde. Several OF the companies were ruled
out of the contest for getting off OF the ground,
not because Of their slow time, but because
their hose was not completely wound upon
the reel when they passed the ropes. The
distance playing began after the contest for
speed was terminated, but was interrupted
after the United, Heston, Ashley aud Comet
had played, on account of the ateness OF the
hour, and no prizes were announced.
THE RESULT
Is shown by the following table, In which the
first column gives the weight of the engines;
the second the number of men allowed; the
third the time made by each company In run
ming the three hundred yards, and throwing
fifty feet of water, and the fourth the time oc-
