strongly in favor Of Grants denomination, and
who says in reference to the New Orleans Gus
tom House scandals:
If Casey is kept in his place after the invest,
cation the President may be sure that the whole
history will come out during the campaign, and
will cost him many votes; and, what is worse
than that, it will deeply grieve thousands of his
friends who will stand by the party and its can

faults in both. Gen. Grant finds it hard to e,
go friend, but he did yield to public opinion
in the case Of Town Murphy, and believe he
will do so in this case. Certainly nothing WI,
proved against Murphy which will compare
with that which is in evidence against Casey.

STRAINING A PoINT.-If Or. Iouard is an
American citizen, he should receive from this
government the EXTREMIST measure of the pro
lection that is his due. But we do not believe
in the Banks plan OF leaping to the rescue of
every American born man who, after living
twenty or thirty years in Cuba identifying
himself In all respects with Spanish people and
Spanish useages, and escaping all the taxes
and other burdens which We who stay at home
have to endure, gets into difficulty with the
government under which he has so long dwet,
is tried and punished and then falls back on
the almost forgotten fact that hi, birth oc
CURED in this country, and demands that
we shall save him from his fate or go to war
on his account. We would not do anything
to make the boast 81 am an American citizen"
| a whit less proud; but in such case as Hou-
| ards especially, We should not let patriotism
blind our Judgment and common sense. If
| the strong tone Of General Banks's report
| from the Foreign Affairs Committee shall pro-
cure the release of HOuard, We shall be glad
of it; and Spain will have done a wise thing
in letting him go, rather than increase the
sensiiiveness of the American people to any
real or apparent infringement upon the rights
| of one of their number But such an effect
will not be produced unless the General Is
more careful in his statement of facts and III
his logic than he was ON Wednesday In hi

of course he must have done) that llouart
was obliged to obey the laws of Cuba or TAKE
the penalty; but" he continued, che had
right to be tried by a judicial tribunal, ant
not by military tribunal but he had been st
tried in a time of profound peace, when ther'
was no necessity of resorting to that tribunal
This is weak talk, because Spain can rerl.
that the time of the trial was not one OF 'pro

How They Stand.

The delegation from Tennessee to the
Baltimore Convention were instructed
to vote for-and they will most assuredly
do it-Greeley and Brown. The New
York Convention instructed for the
Cincinnati platform and for candidates
who can stand upon it. The delega-
ton is resolved to vote for Greeley and
Brown. In West Virginia nine of the
ten delegates are for the Cincinnati
nominees The Convention resolved for
a union with all other elements of op-
position to the Grant ring. In Penn
sylvania the resolutions were for the
principles of Thomas Jefferson's first
Inaugural, which, in brief compass,
contains the ideas of the Cincinnati
platform. A majority Of the delegation
are known to be for Greeley. In Louis
lana the sixteen delegates have just been
appointed, and they are all for Greeley.
These are the only States which have
elected delegates, and they are sample
of what will be done by the States yet
to clect-Cin Enq.

Failure of the
TrpAty,

New YORK, June 1.-THE Herald's S
Washington dispatch says that the fail
ure of the Treaty of Washington, so
far as it relates to the settlement of the
Alabama claims, is at last conceded by
the President. Secretary Fish called on
the President on the receipt of Schenck's S
dispatch with the note of Earl Granville
as to the manner of disposing of the
business of the arbitration on the 18th,
and the President said the only course
was to meet the pretensions of the Brit
ish Government in1their own language.
Accordingly Schenck was yesterday in,
structed to,abandon the arbitration. Mr.,
Schenck's instructions specify that this
Government declines to become party
to the joint application for adjournment,
if it is moved by Great Britain, This
Government cannot be party to any
understanding whereby Great Britain
submits her argument conditionally, the
obligations of the treaty being reeip-
rocal and unqualified. If the British
Government have desire to withdraw
from the arbitration they must do SO
without asking the cDnsent of this Gov
ernment. Ii such notice of with
drawal as is suggested in Granville's
note be given, it will be the duty of the
American agent and counsel to reject
it very decidedly in terms which self
interest will make necessary Such a
notice would instantly terminate all fur
ther negotiations on the part of this
Government Bancroft Davis has been
instructed in accordance with the above.

Republican Journal Squarely
Against Grant.

The Syracuse IN. " Standard, OF
which Gen. H. A. BARNUM is editor.
which has awaited the action of the
philadelphia Convention, came out on
the 7th inst, with sharp editorial re.
fusing to support the ticket. 1t says:
'.If at any time we have intimated
that, under any circumstances, we would
support Gen. Grant for President, it has
been upon the impression that some OF
his derelictions were susceptible of ex-
planation, and that he would be placed
upon platform generous in its inspira-
ton and broad in'its scope. Now that
his most gifted and ardent champions
are obliged to confess the Indictment
against him sustained, and the platform
upon which he stands fails to come up
to the liberal standard of peace and good
will, we would be without excuse if we
sustained him. 1t needs but few words
TO declare our opposition to the re elec-
tion of Gen. Grant under the unhappy
auspices of the Philadelphia Convention.
Deeply regretting the necessity achtch is
upon as, zoe repudidte the action OF the
Convention and decline to support its
nominees"
That is plain and shows there are Re-
publicans who cannot be driven to sup
port the GRANT Despotism. There are
thousands of Republicans in every State,
who will pronounce boldly, for GREELEY
and Brown, should the Baltimore Con.
vention act the part of wisdom and nom
mate them.

From the New York Sum-.
Is He So Very HOnesIl
IOWA.

The Hartford Courant,. in an article
gloritying the nomination of Gen.
Grant, AYERS that 'shis honesty is not
impugned." Let us consider this point
a little. t fr9
Just before his Inauguration in 1869,
Gen. Grant sold his house in Washing
ton to Sayles j, Bowen for $4,000 =
Bowen paid $1,000 to bind the bargain,
and took from Grant contract 10 con-
vey the property by deed r.,
Shortly afterwartl Gen. Grant wrote
to certain merchants in this city entreat-
ling them to raise a fund and make a
handsome present to Gen. Sherman
Accordingly they raised 100000 or
more, ostensibly to give to Sherman !;
but out of this money Gen. Grant caus-
sed the sum of S65,000 to be taken and
given to himself, and instead of it gave
Gen. Sherman deed for the house
which he had just previously sold to
Bowen for $4,000. InAdoing this he
did not ask for Bowen's consent, nor
did he offer Bowen any indemnity for
thus failing to keep his contract.
These facts are notorious and unques-
tionable. Will the Hartford Courant
ponder them little and say whether or
no there is any reason to impugn Gen.
Grants honesty? If another man had
done what he did to Bowen, wouldn't
that other man be knaye!
