The Geneva Award.

AT last the Board of Arbitration at
Geneva have pronounced their
award and the alabama Case" pass
es wholly into history. The long
standing difference between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain has
been happily adjusted, and a prece-
dent for future arbitration in inter-
national disputes satisfactorily es-
tablished. The Amount of the award
and the circumstances under which
it was given should set at rest any
disposition to cayil. The reported
unanimous agreement and the all
but unanimous concurrence in the
statement of causes leading to tine
award, remove every reasonable oc-
casion for criticism.
The Board of Arbitrators find Eng
land wholly without excuse in all the
matters pertaining TO the Alabama
and Florida and their tenders, the
Tuscaloosa, Clarence and Tacnoy,
and partially to blame in the case of
the Shenandoah. The vote on all
but the Shenandoah was unanimous
with the exception of the British
Arbitrator. In the Shenandoah case
the vote stood three to two for par
tial liability.
The Retribution case was decided
in favor of Great Britain, by a vote
of three to two, and unanimous
vote in favor of Great Britain was
given in the cases of the Georgia,
Sumter, Nashville, Tallahassee, and
Chickamauga BY similar vote
the cases of the Sallie, JEFF, Davis,
Music, Boston, and Joy were eX-
cluded for want of evidence.
To simplify the matter the Court
decided to make an award in gross,
and so dispose OF the whole matter
at once. The sum awarded--fiGteen
million five hundred thousand dol
lars in eold-is about equivalent to
the entire claims made by the own
ers of vessels destroyed by the pri-
vateers condemned in the award,
with interest added. 1t is more than
double what had been frequently re-
ported as the highest amount VIC

One of The characte:isticuly mean
performances Of the inorganic re-
mains now known as the New York
Tribune, was the attempt to deprive
General Dix of the credit of writing
the "shoot him on the spot" dispatch,
since he refuses to support Greeley.
And the Democratic journals, fol-
lowing suit, are willing even the hat
ed Stanton shall have the credit of
writing the dispatch, if they may de-
prive an administration" candidate
of it. The Washington Star, in the
interest of the truth of history-( the
Star is not partisan paper)-pub-
fishes the proof that the order was
written by Dix's clerk at his dicta-
ton. and was signed by Dix, and
that Stanton had nothing to do with
it. We defy the whole "independent'
press to show anything ever done by
an "organ" that approaches in mean
ness this malignant attempt to de-
prive brave old officer of the fame
earned by signal service to the coun-
try.-O. S. Journal.

A Correspondence that Explains
Itself.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 6, 1872.
Hon. S. B. AxTELL, late member
of Congress from San Francisco, Cal
Dear Sir.-During your recent
visit to your relative, the Rev. DR..
Saunders, of our city, we learned
that you, an able, consistent and
distinguished member of the Demo
cratic Party, have, in obedience to
the dictates of political duty, deter
mined to support General Grant, for
re election. Your position as a
member of Congress, for the past
four years, has furnished abundant
opportunities to understand thor
oughly the real issues which divide
the country. and your personal in
tegrity of character necessarily adds
force to your opinions. We should
be pleased to hear from your own
lips an expression of the reasons
which have determined yonr present
political action, and beg you to name
an early day when it will suit your
convenience to address a public meet-
ing of ou1 fellow citizens.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Z, 1872.
To ELI K. PRICE, Esq. and others.
Gentlemen Your polite note in
viting me TO deliver political adj
dress in Philadelphia has been re-
ceived. 1t will afford me pleasure
10 do so upon any evening which
you may appoint. l have, as you
suggest, been placed in a position
where 1 could observe General Grant
and study the policy of his Admins
tration. l have no hesitation what
ever in affirming that l believe it to
be for t5e best interests of our be-
loved country, that he should con-
tinue to be its Chief Executive Off
Ger for another term, especially in
view of the safe and steady financial
policy which has distinguished his
Administration, protecting all the
important business interests of the
country from any shock, which could
not be suddenly changed without
producing the most disastrous re-
suits. l believe him to be sincere,
self-relying and just man; above fear
and free from merited reproach in
the conduct of his great office. / feel
that his grand battle-won reputation
is the property and in the keeping OF
az the citizens of the Republic, and
believing this, 1 could not retain my
self-respect if 1 should remain silent
while he is being cruelty and wan
tonly assaulted and stabbed in the
house of his friends.
Yours Respectfully,

THE THREE CROWS.

There was the crows up in n tree
Charles s. carl Schurz and Horace G.
These crows that sat up in this tree,
Were black as any crows could be.
Saws Charles unto each other mate,
"What shall we do for grub to eatl''
''Try Grant," said Carl, "I know he could
ProYide us with some wholesome food.'
"IIe has refused" said Horace G.
"And that's why we are in this tree.'
Then ali exclaimed in solemn tone,
''We'll pick his eyes one by one.
Then Carl 9. smiled on Horace G..
And Horace wagged his b. Gratz b.
"what / now about.Grant I'll now disclose.
And should anyone doubt my words are true
He's villain, traitor and scoundrel, too"
Saws Charles TO Carl, "we'n join the dance
With the old flint locks he sold to France.
And Tf that's not enought to win the day.
Well carry he wax into Africa"
So TO accomplish all these ends
Charles writes unto his sable frlenu.
lie gave them all his views quite freely,
Denouncing Grant, and laudlnS Greeley'
Now from the sequel YOU may know.
That Pompey was no friend to crow.

Another Slander Disposed Of.
Col. Stewart, Indiana, now in this
city, has just received a letter from
Gen. J. D. Webster, Chief Of Staff
to Gen. Sherman during the war. in
answer to one in relation to the
charges that Gen. Grant was intoxi,
Gated at Shiloh. He states what he
knew of Gen. Grants condition du--
ring the two days of the battle, as
follows, in which he effectually dis
poses of this long standing SANDER.
CHICAGO, Sept. 4, 1872.
"Coz. Isaac S. iStewart:
"DEAR SIR-Your note of the Cd
inst. is just received, and in reply l
have to state that you are authorized
on my behalf tc deny in the most
emphatic manner all statements OF
Gen. Grant having been drunk, or in
any degree under the influence of IL
Quor, at the battle of Shiloh. 1 was
at this time his Chief of Staff and
Chief Of Artillery. I breakfasted
with the General at Savannah on
Sunday, the first day of the battle
I went on board the boat with him,
and rode into the field with him at
about 81 O'Clock, in person, and was
necessarily with him, except at in
tervals of absence on duty, the
whole day. 1 LAID down with him
long after dark, at night. on small
parcel of hay, which the Quartermas-
ter put down to keep us out of the
mud, in the rear of the artillery line
on the left, and 1 never heard till
| long afterward of any idea entertain
ed by anybody that he was drunk
nor did / see him drink during the
day, and am sure be was perfectly
sober, as he was self possessed and
collected during the varying fortunes
of that celebrated battle If there
are any words in which 1 can deny
the miserable charge more fully and
distinctly, / am ready to adopt them.
VERY truly yours,

There remains but little over two
weeks before the election for State
and county officers to this place.
Are yau, Republicans of Wyandot
County, ready for the important task
devolving upon you? Never was a
political contest more momentous
than the present. The aim of the
opposition combination is to disrupt
the great Republican party that
saved the Country, liberated four
million of slaves, and secured politi-
cal equality for all men. The OBJ
ject of their special hate is General
Grant, and they are resorting to
every dishonorable means to strike
him down. All true Republicans,
and indeed every patriotic American
who is proud of his country, its his
tory and benign institutions, will
see that the man to whom they are
more indebted for the suppression
of the rebellion and the preservation
of the UNION than to any other, liv-
ing or dead,is not thus stricken down
by the same men who waged the
late rebellion or sympathized with it.
Connecticut. Oregon, North Caro-
lima Vermont and Maine have all
spoken in tones which are most en-
couraging and gratifying. Let Wy
andot do its share in enabling OHIO
to roll up such majority as will send
thrill of joy to every Republican
in our nation.

Another pleasing feature of the
speech of the Hon. John Berry, Sat
urday night, was where he spoke of
"Purity and Reform" We suppose
of course, that he is living example
of that which he advocates. He
thought that no man should vote for
Grant because he drank. We con-
clude the same principle will apply
to Berry Times.

teen million five hundred thousand
dollars more than Great Britain de-
clared she would pay under eny cir
cumstances.
Both sides will now be satisfied !;
one at getting off so cheaply, and
the other at getting so large an
amount without going to war for it,
and without any bad feeling growing
out of the payment, The sum is to
