ment is divided in ten parts
Part one remarks that nc definite
or complete statement Of tho Amori-
can claims has ever been furnished
The Treaty Of Washington and pre-
vious correspondence will supply.
however, a general definition Of the
demands made by the United States
Rule 2 Of article 6 Of the Treaty of
Washington is quoted as follows:
"a neutral government is bound
not to permit or suffer either BELLE
erent to make use OF its ports or va
tiers as a base OF naval operations
against the other, or for the purpose
of renewal or augmentation Of mil
itary supplies or arms, or the recruit
ment Of men" This rule is interpret.
ed as prohibiting the supply Of war
waging vessels from neutral ports.
but is not prohibitory Of the sale of
arms or munitions of war in the
ordinary course Of commerce. The
claims submitted are for damages
growing out Of the acts of vessels re-,
specting which it is alleged that Great
Britain failed in her imlernationat
duty. The tribunal must determine
of the failure OF duty. Ii it decides
that there has been such failure. then
1t must award agross sum Of damages,
or define the limit OF liability, for the
guidance of the assessors of said
damages The circumstances of The
sailing of ths steamers Alabama.

Britain maintains that in respect to
her international obligations, or ren>
dering herfelf justly liable.

of the faithful performance and execu-
ton thereof by Great Britain during |

stA, writes thus Of the prospects Of
New York city -
Since | have been in New York, [

people, editors, merchants, lawyers,
politicians, manufactures, builders,
laborers, and gentlemen of leisure.
They universally postpone the finan
eial crash which every body has been

another year, and the general senti.
lnent appears to be that business for

ginning of II. The release from
taxation has = good effect, as it
quickens enterprise and industry
The failure OF three national banks
aud four savings banks in this city
~ the results Of reckless speculation
and uusound management, but this
dangerous etfervoscence is deemed a
local spssm, and banks have been
prudent and thoughtful. That is the
prevailing conviction and has d

Forney on tho Situation.

The following from Forney's PhiIa
delphia Press is well worth the read
ing by every republican:
"At last Mr.. Sumner and the Presi-
dent are upon a common platform. -
However they may disagree on qucs-
tons of internal Republican policy,
they are both agreed that as regards
our claims against Great Britain only
their stern demand will bring full
satisfaction that not one inch must
be yielded, nor one point conceded
And now that the President and The
Massachusetts Senator are in unison
upon this question, why not upon all
Others? The issue upon which they
divided have faded out Of public sight
and remembrance and no line now
separates them.
AZ upon the Alabama question,
why no. upon all others In the
policy of the enforcement OF the guar
antees OF equal rights to the loyal
people of the South, and their protoc.
ton from rebel persecution and vio-
lence, and, ia fact, upon most other
great questions OF the day, they stand
side by side. n the Senator's last
and noblest effort-thc civil rights
oili-he has been supported by Vice
President CoIfax and many of tho
most devoted advocates and adher-
ents Of tho Administration in the Sen
ate. AS we have said above, why
not agree upon all questions, and
present to the country and to the
great majority of its people, whose
best hopes are centred in tho Repub-
lican party, who are proud OF It's
patriotic history, aud who believe it
to be the Inspiration of reform and
progress, the spectacle of al organi-
cation intact in rank and flo, and AMI
mated with but single purpose?
The people have trusted the Re-
publican party with the adminisira,
ton OF their Govern,.. mt for more
than twelve years. La the bour %
greatest peril and the most supreme
crisis their faith in it has moi been |
shaken, but, like the mariners conf,
denoe in the bark that has wcathered
the storm, only intensified They |
love this organization as they love
their country, and they are resolved
that, like the tree of liberty, it shall
not dry, rot nr perish. Their desire
bow above all others is that it shall
be harmonious in its councils and
united 10 its action"
