Journal is thought to have been inspired
10y Judge Wilson, of the United States SUI
p1eme Court
Chief Justice Chase has dismissed all
thought Of being candidate for President
this year, and i'll favor of the nomination Of
Senator Trumbull as the opposition candi-
date. Mr.. 1Iumbull is understood to be II
revenue tariff man, and opposed to high
protective tariff. The health of Judge
Chase is NOT sufficiently restored to admit
of the excitement of Il political campaign
st,ch are likely to have this year, a
fact which he fully realizes. Most Of the
leading Democrats of this State are at
present Inclined TO accept Senator Trlm-
bull as the coming man. bat oppose any

From the Times of January q.

No doubt it was from an honorable de
sire TO avoid every topi: Of difference which
could possibly be avoided that Lord Ripon
and his colleagues failed to i,sist on an
explicit definition of 1.-the Claims genericaly
known as the Alabama Claims" potWiib-
standing that Great Britain, and Great
Britain alone, was liable TO suffer by anv
vaSueness in this essential article. The
protocol Of May 1, 1871, however, coupled
with the provisions of subsequent articles.
directing that each vessel shall he the sub
Ject OF separate inquiry, is sufficient to
show that claims for indirect losses were
not contemplated in laying down the basis
of arbitration. Whether claims for direct
losses are admissible in respect TO all the
vessels comprised in the American list is
question left open by the treaty, and there
fore properly cognizable by the arltrators
who are also perfectly competent to decide
on the relevlncc Of the presumntiye ar
gument against Great Britain. But it is
not 50 evident, nor are we prepared to
admit that it is a question for the ar
bitratOrs at all, whether Great Britain
is responsible for damages for the general
war expenses incurred by the United States
after the battle of Gettysburg. 1t is GER
tain that, had the intention to press such a
demand been understood OIL both sides at
Washington, it would have brought the
conferences to an abrupt conclusion. Not
only would it have been impossible for
Great Britain to place on record the express
sion OF regret to which the United States
naturally attached so much weight, and to
aequiesce in the retrospective application of
the new rules: not only must our Commits
siOners have insisted on the right to plead
a set-of on account of the sFenian raids and
other national injuries, inste ad of referring
the Alabama claims to arbitration by
themselves, but it would have been their
duty to suspend all further negotiations till
distinct waiver Of indirect losses should
have been obtained. If it be asked why,
nevertheless, the Arbitrators should not be
invited to decide on their admissibility, the
answer is Conclusive. Were the Judgment
of the Arbitrators subject to no express linn
itatiOn of any other kind, it might not be

PITTSBURGH FEMALE CoLLEGE.-We
are pleased to learn that the present
term of this sterling institution is among
the most prosperous in it's history. A
larger number o! boarders are in at.
tendance than at any time since the
war. Indeed the number is limited only
by the capacity to entertain them.
Though the winter term will not begin
until the 10th of December, there are
already nearly twenty applications
from new pupils for admission as board.
ers. Those of our readers who desire
admission as boarders must make early
application, or they cannot be received.
At the commencement Of this term
twenty-three teachers were employed
An additional music teacher was en-,
gagged a few weeks since, making five
teachers in the music department, and
twenty-four teachers in all. These facts
speak volumes in favor Of the excellent
management and superior facilities Of
this leading institution of that State for
the education OF young ladies. If you

hauling. And there seems to be no
lack oil teams, either. There is quite a
difference in coal at eleven and
half cents per bushel and coal at
twenty cents, especially to poor men
and to widows, who keep their families
by taking in washing and ironing
The committee, Messrs. Salisbury and
PANEL, Clator and Blair are mama

exhibit for they are attending to the
matter without charge, and TO the
neglect of their business.
