The Washington Treaty Before Ill
British Peers.

The subject Of the Washington Treaty and
the American demand for compensation for
indirect damages, with that Of the propriety
or policy, Of Great Britain renewing the arbi-
tration in Geneva, were brought before the
House of Lords in very exciting shape last
night Earl Russell offered his motion, which
has been deferred by postponement from
time to time, for an address to the Grown
praying Her Majesty Queen Victoria to in
struct her representatives to retire from the
Geneva arbitration if the claims for indirect
damages are not withdrawn by the United
States government The noble lord delivered
o very lengthy Grafton. He reviewed the
events Of the civil war in America and the
circumstances which attended the escape Of the
Alabama, and then proceeded to discuss the
negotiations which have been carried on be-
tween the two nations relative to the entire
subject Of the consequences Of that event. It
must be acknowledged that this was an ex-
ceedingly heavy undertaking for gen.
tleman who is in the eighteth year Of his age,
particularly when we call to mind the fact that
the responsibility Of its execution was ass,ined
by him at very late hour of the evening, and
that its finale was not completed in the mo-
ments long after that of midnight Perhaps
he got along more rapidly than we imagine.

quainted with all the circumstances which sur
rounded and oil the motives which impelled
her exit than is the statesman who was the
first in Britain to openly, yet adroitly, in his
official capacity as Secretary Of State, accord
to the Southern rebel confederacy bel
ligerent rights, by addressing to the
House Of Commons the words "either bel
lgerent'' when he announced the neutrality, as
he then termed it, of the Queens government
in the war for the Union. But the nature Of
the man prevailed even against the memories
of the ex-Minister last night Earl Russell was
spiteful: but that does not exactly surprise US
in Earl Russell. He alleged that the Eng
lish nation must be jealous of the honor of
the British Crown, and that cit must treat

Judge Gilbert ON the Broadway
Widening.

Judge Gilbert ON the Broadway
Widening.
The opinion delivered yesterday by Judge
Gilbert, confirming in the main the report of
the last Commissioners of Estimate and Assess
ment, will probably put ON end to the opposi-
ton Of the property owners to the widening Of
Broadway above Thirty fourth street. The
action of the old Commissioners has been
affirmed, except in the case of the awards
made by Messrs. Thompson, Bagley and Muir
tina these have been sent back for correction
All the special pleadings advanced by the
opponents Of the proposed Improvement have
been disallowed and the authority and compe-
tence Of the Commission asserted. In answer
to the complaints Of the property holders as to
the loss that will be inflicted on them, they are
reminded that their loss will be only tempo
rary. 1t is held with good reason that the
Improvements will eventually more than COM
pensate for the injury which some will suffer.
The important question raised as to whether
the Commissioners were authorized to make
new assessments or not has been decided in
the affirmative, and their right to levy on such
property as they considered benefited by the
proposed improvements placed beyond doubt.
Another point of considerable interest to the
public has been settled by the denial of the
claim made by Mr.. Sacchi for prospective
losses, Judge Gilbert declaring their considera-
ton to be inadmissible. As the chief obstacles
to proceeding with the work have been removed
by the settlement of these points Of law we
hope that the undertaking will be pushed on
vigorously The procrastination and uncer-
tainty which at present exist tend to delay
the improvement Of the part Of our chief
thoroughfare affected by it, and the
interest of the property owners is clearly to
accept the inevitable and try to carry out the
improvements as rapidly as possible. Their
opposition is shortsighted, for the result of
having the question finally settled and the
increased value of the property affected will
more than repay them in few years. But
even If it were not so the interest Of the city
demands that the change should be made, and
as has been properly pointed out in Judge
Gilberts decision, it is the public interest,
not that Of individuals, which should guide the
authorities to their conclusions We are en-
tirely Of the Judges opinion, and desire to
see the matter finally settled and the work in

will suggest itself at once to ail-nameiy, that
an efficient police force is of the first impor-
lance. While the City Judge calls on the
Grand Jurors to be vigilant in melting
out justice to criminals, ON account
OF an increase of crime, it seems absurd
that another branch of the city government
should be taking steps to leave the community
still more exposed to the knife, slungshot
and pistol of the rowdy. Yet this is exactly
what will be the effect Of the Comptroller's
reduction of the police estimates, which will
cut down the force by five hundred men. The
City Judges recommendation, coupled with
the Comptroller peculiar economy, looks very
like saving at the spigot while wasting at the
bung We want good, cheap government by
all means, but the economy which leaves no
resource to law-abiding citizens but the heavy
punishment of an occasional rowdy taken red
handed is of small account and will convey
little wholesome lesson to the numbers of
others who would escape capture under the
operation Of reduced police force.

Tho Commercial Tariff Tax Question
In France.

Tho Commercial Tariff Tax Question
In France.
M. Jules Favre delivered q powerful
argument in the French Assembly yesterday
in opposition to the Theirs tariff tax on the
importation Of raw materials to be used in
manufacture. He proclaimed the project as
being fatal to French trade and manufacture,
unproductive as q source of revenue, and OBJ
jectionable in o diplomatic sense, for the
reason that it will ALLEVIATE foreign Powers
from the republic. M. Favre, indeed, advo-
Gated the cause of free trade against that of
crude system of commercial protection, the
favorite budget construction plan of President
Theirs. The concluding words of the orator
had reference to the probable alienation of the
friendship of Great Britain and Belgium if the
present policy of the French Executive be
maintained. The whole subject is one of very
serious import, not only as a question Of
economic science which will Immediately
affect the pockets and wardrobes Of the Old
World peoples, but also as one likely to pro-
duce governmental combinations, the influence
of which may be not only exceedingly detri-
mental to the interests Of France, but provo
cative of war feeling in Europe which will be
to very great extent reactionary against future
democratic experiments in the matter Of gov
eminent administration.

What a Patriot Thinks.

The Democratic organ of Congressman
of that party at Washington says:
If there be no real principle in the Gin
einnati movement, and no higher ambi-
ton than a mere change of Republican adj
ministrations, substituting the hungry outs
for the satisfied ms, what does it concern
the country whether Mr.. Fenton shall
succeed Mr.. Fish, and so on to the end of
the chapter? There is nothing in the
character of the men, judging by the COM
position of the recent Convention, and OF
the leaders, with some few exceptions,
which promises any improvement in the
event of change, if we are simply to pass
from one set of Republican managers to
another set, who are not especially recon-.
mended for either patriotism or integrity.

WHY GOLD is so HIGH.
A Bold Combination in Wall Stree

n bOAu CODDlnallOh HI wall Street,
The New York correspondent of Gin
cinnati Commercial sends the following on
the 18th
To-day some remarkable developments
were made in Broad and Wall streets re-
garding the present furry in the New
York gold market, and the manner in
which the premium has been advanced by
shrewd spectators. The report, as circu-
lated in the Stock Exchange, and general
ly believed to be correct, is that the per-
sons who recently made the New York
money market SO stringent, and who were
the subject Of Congressional inquiry at
Washington, formed a powerful cOmbina-
ton in gold a few weeks since. Their first
movement was to purchase short sight
sterling exchange on London to the eX-
tent of three million pounds, which was
sent out by special messenger two weeks
since Last "Wednesday, according to or
ders from the leaders of the New York
combination, a sudden demand was made
upon the Bank of England for half mil
lion sterling exchange. AS this is the day
upon which the bank fixes its rate of dis
count for the coming week, the Directors
Immediately placed their interest price
fully one per cent. higher-tive per cent.
This fact was Immediately telegraphed to
New York, and gold advanced to S1.149,
Private London dispatches received to-day
say money outside of bank is now easier
at per cent, and the indications are that
since the plot of New York spectators
has been discovered the bank will soon re-
duce the rates again. 1t is said these gold
spectators are now endeavOring to sell
since their operations have been discover
ed, but they will hardly be able to do so at
profit, their expenses having been large in
together this attempt to force up gold is
the boldest of any engineered in New York
since the war, and it is the subject of gem
cral remark in financial circles.

poses them. His brother-in-law at New

patches announce it thus:
The Congressional Committee, recently
appointed to investigate affairs in New Or
leans, have just handed their printed re-
port to the President, and he has had OPP
portunlty for the first time of examining
1t critically; In consequence of this ex-
ANIMATION, he has requested the resigna-
tons of Casey, the Collector of Customs at
New Orleans, and his deputy, Mr.. Her
wig. There is nothing in this report to
show that these gentlemen were not honest
and efficient in the discharge of their du-
ties as custom-hOuse officers but owing to
the character Of certain portions of the tes-
timony it was thought that changes in
these offices might promote the general
interests of the service. .... ---....

Important Dispatch from Minister Schenck

Animportant special Cabinet meeting
was convened by the President last night
at the White House to consider the i'm
portant dispatch from MiRister Schenck,
in which he stated that negotiations could
be resumed to save the Treaty of Wash
ington, provided this government would
agree to supplemental treaty to cover the
disputed indirect damages and to provide
that neither Great Britain nor the United
States should be liable as neutral for con-
sequential claims arising out of acts done
by either as a neutral when the other be-
came belligerent. Rather than let the
Treaty fail, the President and Cabinet
agreed to this. The English Ministry has
acquiesced; and General Schenck has al
ready commenced arrangements to sus-
pend the Washington Treaty for the pres
ent, or until Great Britain and the Senate
of the United States can ratify the new
treaty. Granville and Schenck enterupOn
the work at once; and it is believed that
the supplemental treaty will be here before
the Senate before Congress adjourns. IG
not, the President will convene the Senate
in extra session. 1t is agreed that the Ge-
neva Conference shall meet only to ad-
journ on the 18th of June Wash. Cor
