A WASHINGTON correspondent says Governor
Bard of Tennessee, editor of the Chattanooga
Herald, who has been in Washington for few
days past, gives an encouraging account of the
prospects of the Republican party in his State
He say he feels confident of an increase of fif-
teen per cent. over the Presidential vote at the
last election, and if the Democrats nominate
two tickets, he thinks the State will give Grant
an overwhelming majority. Concerning the
probability of there being third party ticket
he has little doubt. A movement is now on
foot, and with good showing for success, to
put in the field for governor, a well-known ex-
Confederate, now, having seen the error of his
ways, staunch friend and admirer of General
Grant, whose influence will be sufficient, it is
believed, to secure the State election to the Re-
publican party. During the Presidents stay in
this city, on Wednesday, Governor Bard had
lengthy conversation with him upon the politi-
cal situation and he goes back to Tennessee
more than ever convinced of the wisdom of the
Philadelphia nominations. -A .-~5

CLAIMS DIRECT AND IsD1REcr.-A Washing

CLAIMS DIRECT AND INDIRECT-A Washing
ton special says:
1t is now certainly known here that the Trib-
unal of Arbitration at Geneva has, after DELHI
GRAFTON, avowed the opinion that the claims for
indirect or consequential damages, presented by
Mr.. Bancroft Davis, the agent of the United
States, cannot be considered as subjects for an
award of money damages. The Secretary of
State gracefully submits, and has instructed
Mr.. Davis not to press those claims any fur
Their This will remove the objections on the
part of Great Britain to an immediate consider
alton OF the direct claims, and it is intimated
that should not her agent, Lord Tenterden
withdraw his proposition for an adjournment,
the tribunal will override it and order the i'm
mediate presentation of the arguments.
1t will now be seen how correct was the pre-
diction of an English member of the High
Joint Commission, just after that body had
signed the Treaty of Washington, that Great
Britain could only be made to pay the direct
claims tor the Alabama damages and the di-
rect claims for the Shenandoah damages after
she had shipped a war crew at Melbourne, by
the culpable negligence of the colonial authori-
ties. The High Commissioner was confident
that the tribunal would allow nothing for the
damages committed by the Florida, the Talla-
hassee. the Sumter, the Nashville, the Retribu-
ton, or the Boston; but it is to be hoped that
he was mistaken. The agent for Great Britain
has by ingenious calculation reduced the esti-
mated amount of the claims on account of the
Alabama from six million five hundred and
thirty-seven thousand six hundred and eleven
dollars to three million two hundred and twenty
eight thousand eight hundred and fifty-one
dollars, and of the Shenandoah from six mil
lion three hundred and sixty-six thousand eight
hundred and ninety -four dollars, toone million
three hundred and seventy-sevenr thousand
three hundred and sixteen dollars. The claim
for the damages to the whole shipping by the
last named vessel, as presented by the United
States, embraces the total value of the ships
and outfits, and their secured and prospective
earnings, without deducting any sums received
by the owners from the insurance companies.
with few exceptions. The insurance compa-
MES have also put forward their claims for the
sums paid by them to the owners. 9gs1 r1

The New York Evening Post on the evening
of the meeting of the Liberal Conference, said
The meeting to-day at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel is meeting of Liberal Republicans who, in
dlgnant at the outrage perpetrated at Cincin-
natl by the nomination of Greeley upon a
movement for purity in politics and just and
wise administration of the Government, pro-
pose TO devise some means, if possible, to right
! that great wrong. If any man who stands
3 committed before the public to the Greeley par
ty, assented to or desired this meeting, it could
only be with the hope and intention Of getting
himself out of an exceedingly disagreeaSle pre-
dlcament, where, if he was not fast losing all
respect for himself, he was in danger of forfeit
ing that of everybody else. On no other terms
could Greeley man honorable approach the
convention. EHLA & =. "
The Post is high toned and able journal,
but its managers are no match for the wise and
cunning Greeley leaders who went into that
conference and captured it, or SO manipulated
it as to make it of no account.

THE LIBERAL CONFERENCE.-THE the Liberal
Conference at the Fifth Avenue hotel Thurs
day, Senator Trumbulla is reported to have
SAID: zarfi,s BE- sAs,s1f 49, .ssaraaaB tli4
ITO the question that comes uppermost
among us there is only one answer which occurs
to me as reasonable or possible. How are we
to defeat Grant? BY supporting Greeley"
tsri,1Ha,rz-Said nAs,Aeting tho fsinninna+i
nominee. Perhaps better could have been
devised and perhaps not. Greeley was now be-
fore the people and his name cannot be with
drawn Overwhelming waves of opinion are
in his favor and it would be idiotic to attempt
al this juncture to stay their progress. The
Senator expressed the opinion that if Mr. Gree
ley was elected as he would be by an over
whelmning vote, he would select from all par
ties such a cabinet and draw around him such
men as the nation would place entire conf
dence in.'' ..s,II
The morning press TINS comments on the
meeting: .5s aotaE -
The World editorially treats the conference
as a fiasco
The Herald thinks that the confidence de-
yeloped that the Democratic party old and
young will go for Greeley. rF6I
