MR.. BEACH LAWREECE ON THE AMERI-

MR.. BEACH LAURENCE ON TIE AMERI-
CAN CASE.
The Hon. VIM. Beach Lawrence has written
an elaborate letter to The Proridence Jour-
nal, which adds one more to the numerous
regulations which the work of the De-
partment of State has received at the
hands Of those whose authority has been
invoked to sustain it, Mr.. Lawrence
take pains to refer to the rumOr that his
advice had been sought and received in re-
gard to the form to be given to the Ameri-
can Case, and says that so far from having
suggested or approved the claim for indirect
damages, "his friendly suggestions on the
"points now in question were not adopted"
and he alludes to the propositions contained
in our Case, Gas at variance with his we'll
"knOwn views of public law, as well as with
"what he deems to be the true construction
"Of the Treaty"
He then enters into clear and vigorous ex-
animation of the action of the Administration
in its treatment of this matter, and condemns
it in language which loses nothing of its
severity by being couched in the most c0ur-
teOus form. He thinks that with the English
expression of regret all questions of the past
should at once have lapsed, and that we should
have regarded the adoption of the rules defn-
ing the obligations of neutrality as the best
atonement that could have been made
for our national injuries. He regards the
effort to strengthen our case morally,
by the presentation of indirect claims,
which no one expects to be granted, as incon-
sistent with the dignity of the country. He
against the principle of liability for remote or
contingent losses, and then examines, we must
say, rather from the English point of view
than from an American or a neutral one, the
language of the protocol TO see if it justifes
the retention of our claim for indirect damages.

Some of Senator Tiemann's constituents
have held a meeting (perhaps more than one)
to denouncc him as not genuine and hearty
Reformer. They say hard things of his oppo-
sition to the Soventy's Charter, &c, but are
silent respecting his vote to keep James Wood
in the Senate. Is that silence premeditatedf
We hear from the Custom-housc organ that
our Reform Legislature has become openly,
shamelessly corrupt-that its members are
bought and sold day-that it may better ad
jOurn forthwith, &c. Yet there was not even
squeak from that organ when Wood was
whtewashed by the votes of three Retormers
from this city-Benedict, Temann, and Weiss
mann. That vote was II proclamation OF I'M

Those two eminent railroad managers, Messrs.
Thomas A. Scott of the Pennsylvania Central
and John w. Garrett of the Baltimore and
Ohio, lately locked horns in Washington, and
the former, after protracted, desperate con-
test triumphed. He asked of Congress per-
mission to run his trains lover a subsidiary
road) into tho heart of the Federal City,
through public grounds of decided value, with
out paying cent for the privilege; and Con-
gress gave him all he wanted. SO he can run
from Philadelphia into Washington, asking no
odds of the Baltimore and Ohio or of its Wash
ington branch.
We now hear that Mr.. Garrett has countered
this rap by getting through the late New
jersey Legislature charter for q short, ap-
parently insignificant road whereby, through
connections already bargained for, the Balti-
more and Ohio may run its trains right into
Jersey City, in utter independence of the
Pennsylvania Central and its henchman, the
Camden and Amboy. More succinctly, each of
the two railroad kings has secured clear
track from the Hudson to the Potomac, and
will soon be running through trains from the
Commercial to the Political Metropolis in IN
embarrassed competition with his great rival.
Most heartily do we congratulate the public
on these facts. We have no shadow of ill-will
to any of our great railway corporations;
on the contrary, we wish them all health and
prosperity; but we cannot doubt that compet-
ton between them is wholesome, and we re-
joice that the reign Of Monopoly over Jersey
draws to q close. We trust those who attend
the next Inauguration of President will have
their choice of two through lines of railroad,
and that neither of them will be dearer or less
cOmmodiOus than the present.

Wonderful are the discoveries Of those gentlemen
who devote themselves to the noble business Of do
tecting and exposing plagiarisms. Mr.. L. c. Ben
nett has found the original Of the noble death-bed
scene of Col. Newcome. 1t is, it seems, where one
would hardly have thought Of looking for it-in
Coopers Prairie" Unfortunately for his case, the
passages which Mr.. Bennett quotes, in letter TO
The Daily Aers, are not at all alike. Col. Newcome
hears tho chapel bell, lifts up his head little. and
falls back. Cooper's aged and dying trap
per, just as he expires, with a Gno
elevation of the head, pronounces the
word Herev" Mr. Bennett thinks these two
death-scenes have some relation to each other So
they have inasmuch as they are both death-scenes;
but there is other than this general resemblance

The great tobacco war continues. At tho recent
meeting of the New-York Methodist Conference a
resolution recommending entire abstinence from the

dstemper by smoking; that he had also chewed to-
bacco; that he was So years old, and that he felt
like blessing tho Weed every morning of his liie'

which should be changed oftehp Well, here is Con-
ference Doctor telling what fine thing chewing to-
bacco has been for him. and College Doctor recon-
mending long clay ri@@ee" The last are certainly
scholastical implements, and have been ever slSto
the days of DR.. Parr and Robert Hale. However,
there is plenty of authority the other side, and If
a person who is in doubt will read everything
before beginning to smoke which has been written
for against smoking, it is probable that he will
never smoke at all-at least in this world.

Gov Palmer of Illinois made a stirring and
vigorous speech at Springfield, last night, a
synopsis of which we publish elsewhere. The
Governor comes out manfully against the
crying abuses now existing in the Gov
ernment and sounds the true note
of Reform. Such utterances as these are
awakening the people to the real issues in the
pending contest, and dissipating the fOggy

Another Committee of Investigation is Or
dered into the War Department. The disap-

Commission has awakened suspicion that our

they should be, and the Military Committee
of the House is instructed to make full in

having called attention to the extraordinary
silence Of the investigators, they have walked
up and sent another installment of their report
to the Public Printer. 1t comes out, however,
that the report has been delayed by Gov.
WarmOh's course. The Committee, it is said,
favored the Governor, and intended to say so
in their report; but when Gov. WarmOth
came out for the Liberal Republican move
ment, it was concluded that he was not so
much in the right after all; hence the delay.
