EOrestalling Baltimore.

The New York delegates elected at
Rochester are at least four-ffths favor.
able to Greeley, and as the Convention
instructed them to vote as unit, it is
as easy to place them now as in the
coming July. The Rochester platform
was also meant to. be, and is, a hearty
Endorsement of the Cincinnati platform
SO much for New York. Looking to
Washington, we sec that, since the
speech of Mr.. VOORHEES,, a9 attempt to
get up an anti Greeley Endorsement
among the Democratic members has
proved failure. The facts are thus
stated:
Just after the adjournment of the Cin-
cinnati Convention, an appeal was pre-.
pared by one Democratic Congressman
calling upon the party to demand of its
Executive Committee a National Con.
vention, and to send delegates pledged
to vote tor only pronounced Democrats.
That appeal was signed by thirty men,
hers of the House, but when presented
for Senatorial signatures it met no sue
cess. BY the counsel of judicious men
it was not issued, but Mr. VOORHEES, and
some Of his friends, anxious to test the
strength Of their position against Gree
ley, on the the 10th held consultation
to devise an attack, when, to their as
tonishment. they found that only q
fourth of the original signers for a
straight out Democratic nomination
stood firm, while the others had declar-
ed for Greeley or were non-committal
Democrats not heretofore approached,
were to man opposed to any action
that would injure Mr.. Greeley's chances
for Democratic Endorsement at Balti.

ton.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 20-The Repub-
lican of this morning states that it has
reliable advices from Washington of a
bold scheme meditated by the Admins
tration party to secure the reelection of
Grant. The plan as stated, is, that a
number Of influential Southern men be
invited to Washington without being
informed of what they were to come
for, and some of these gentlemen are
now in that city, to whom propositions
have been made that if they will send
delegates from the Southern States to
Baltimore instructed to demand Dem
ocratic nomination, or to bolt the Con-
vention in case it refuses to take that
step and make nomination, the Ad-
ministration party viii pass the bill to
refund the cotton tax, grant aid to the
Atlantic and Great Western Canal OF
Georgia, and grant aid and subsidies to
other Southern enterprises and schemes
now before Congress. The Republican
further says it is stated that one or two
Southern men interested in the above
enterprises favor the proposition, but
that generally they reject it.

Justice TO Mcclellan,

At the fourth annual reunion of the
Army of the Potomac, held at Cleve.
land, Ohio, on the 7th instant. the ora
tor of the day. Gen. Stewart L. Wood,
ford, of New York, "a radical republi
can, paid long withholden justice to the
merits of General George B. Mcclellan,
whom the radicals have so pprsistently
and falsely maligned. Gen. Woodford
said:
Bull Run had taught the necessity Of
drill and discipline. For nearly wear
the army was marched, double quicked
and reviewed. Bull Run had taught the
necessity of one controlling, central
will. The people, the Administration
the army accepted the nod, and the
young General whose scholarly prom.
ise of soldierly skill upon Crimean
plains had been confirmed by his sue
cess in West Virginia, came to your
command with hearty assent. His work
of organization and instruction was
earnestly undertaken in it you patient
ly acqu;esced. Just as the inexperience.
if may thus speak, Of :he orr ginal
army was changed into compacted or
der, just so was its original Indifference
to leaders changed into the most loyal
fidelity to the name and person of its
new commander. You had passed from
being an aggregation of little detach-
ments into being actually an army. You
had also first learned the necessity of
leadership, and then developed the SOL
dierly esprit of devotion to the leader.
None who hear me, and who were then
of your army, will forget how the smile
came to the tired faces, the ringing
cheers to the ready lips as Mcclellan
came down the pike. None will forget
how sick men crept to hospital doors,
and the wounded hobbled to the road
side. and even the dying lifted them
selves to swell the greeting that welcom-
ed his passing. The heartiness of love
among the privates and confidence
among the officers is pleasant to recall,
and even now after the long years his
name brings back somewhat of the old
quickening of the pulse and kindling OF
the eye, There was surely great de-
sire in the army to have leader, with
great willingness to make an idol; there
was surely great personal magnetism
in the man who touched our hearts SC
quickly and has held them so long.

Ey Laughing time, about the Cincin-
natl tariff plank, is about over with
good Republicans. They have TO fix
up something quite handsome on the
same subject very soon, and when they
think of that ceremony they are SOL
emnized. We recommend the reference
of the whole subject to the Congress
ional districts; and that it be provided
that Federal taxation shall not interfere
unnecessarily with the industries of the
people. Judge Hoadly came out of the
Convention disappointed mar, but be
must be credited with a fair days work

EgItis with no little qualification
that we refer to the position OF the
Missouri Democracy on the Presiden-
tial question; their voice is practically
unanimous against Democratic NOM
ination at Baltimore, and in favor of a
Democratic support of Greeley and
Brown. Three-fourths of the Demo
cratic journals in the State hoist the
Cincinnati ticket at the head of their
columns, and the others speak plainly
in favor of it. There is no opposition
to the ticket in this State, except that
which comes from the supporters of
Grant. The explanation of this re-
markable unanimity of sentiment is the
confident belief that the policy which
overthrow Radicalism so decsively in
Missouri two years ago, is the true pol
icy to overthrow Radicalism in all the
States with, in the approaching contest.

New YORK, May 20.-The Ne,gs says
the proprietorship of the World has
changed, and that the controlling inter
est has been purchased by prominent
Republican politicians. The sale is not
to be made public until after the Demo
cratic Convention meets. 1t is 10 contin-
ue to oppose the nomination of Greeley
at Baltimore, as in that way it can rem
der the most etfectiye service to Grant
Little, if any, change is to he made in

raised to be used exclusively for the
purpose of having straight Democrat

Proposed supplemental Article TO
the Alabama tIatifls Treaty

The following is the supplemental ar
ticle proposed bv England, and has been
submitted to the United States Senate
for its action:
"WHEREAs, The Government of her
Britannia Majesty has contcnded in re-.
cent correspondence with the Govern
ment of the United States as follows,
namely: That such indirect claims as
those for the National losses stated, in
the case presented on the part of the
Government of the United States to the
Tribunal Of Arbitration at Geneva, to
have been sustained by the loss in the
transfer of the American commercial
marine to the British flag, the enhanced
payment of insurance, the prolonga-
tion of the war, and the addition
of large sum to the cost of the
war, and the suppression of the re-
belion, firstly, were not included in the
Treaty of Washington, and further,
and secondly, should not be admitted
in principle as growing out of the acts
committed by particular vessels alleged
TO have been enabled to commit deprc
dations upon the shipping of q bellig-
erent by reason of such want Of due
diligence in the performance of the
neutral obligations as that which is i'm
puted by the United States to Great
Britain; and, whereas, the President of
the United States, while adhering to his
contention that the said claims were in
cluded in the treaty, adopts for the fu-
ture the principle contained in the sec,
ond of the said contentious, as far as
to declare that it viii hereafter guide
the conduct Of the Government of the
United States, and the two countries are
therefore, agreed in this respect. In
consideration thereof, the President of
the United States, by and with the ad-
vice and consent of the Senate thereof,
consents that he will make no claim on
the part of the United States in respect
of indirect losses, as aforesaid, before
the Tribunal of Arbitration at Gene
va" -a
The above, if adopted, is a square
withdrawal of all claims for indirect
claims in the settlement of the Alaba-
ma claims. The position of the Ad-
ministration in this whole matter is hu-
initiating in the extreme, and causes the
cheeks of Americans to turn scarlet
with shame. ~
England dictates and the GRANT Ad.
ministration obeys.

DR. r. EAHRNEY,s
Blood Cleanser. or Panacea.


As a medicine for children, the Panacea is
in every way, calculated to take the place of
the endless variety of drugs which are annu-
ally sold for that purpose, and which are Of
ten very injurious. A medicine. which pos
sesses the qualities of a cathartic as well as
mild Alternative, and which is capable of ar
resting disease without the least injury to the
child, is of incalculable value to every moth
er. As catkartic, it is very effective, yet it
does not, if given in proper quantities, cause
nausea or distress to the stomach or bowels.
1t is very pleasant to the taste, which is a
very important feature for a medicine for
children. AS a ,PREvENTIvE of disease il is
unprecedented, as it acts directly upon the
digestive organs and the blood. In all
scrofulous diseases, it is the most effective
medicine ever offered to the public; and, if
given regularly and perseveringly, those
eruptive diseases so common to children may
be entirely eradicated.

THE Fish CANNIEsALS.
One of the Dyyarfs ESies and iS
Partially DevOured Dy his Conn
n3niOnS

The York Daily, May 16, says: The
museum and menagerie met with quite
q loss Tuesday in the death of the no.
torious cannibal dwarf which occurred
at the Pennsylvania Hotel, in this place.
The little Fiji exhibited symptoms Of
indispositioD several days ago, and the
manager sent the General as he is
called to New York, to be cared for;
but the little savage becoming restless
in the absence of his associates, he was
returned to the company.
Like all of his race he had native
horror Of shoes and clothing, and even
in the t,cold days that came upon the
company in New Jersey, the manager
was unable to force shoes upon the
General, and make him dress with suffi-
cient warmth. He refused every thing
like food or nourishment, and apparent
ly thought of nothing but his native
island. Dancing or violent gesturing
of any kind was always source of great
merriment to the General, but now the
keeper could not provoke even smile
The miniature being was dying, and
while his keeper was doing his best to
cheer him up and make him take medi-
cine he fell hack dead. His three na-
tive companions, who up to this time
were wholly Indifferent, now exhibited
all the symptoms of genuine grief. They
howled necessarily, and such fearful
physical contortions were probably new
er before witnessed in civilized com.
munity.
The scene subsequent sent thrill
through the few conversant with the
facts. Shortly after the corpse was
placed in the coffin, last evening, Mr.
S. S. Smith, the keeper, locked the door
upon the three companions in an adj
joining room, and left the building. He
states that he was not absent thirty
minutes, but that upon returning a
scene presented itself too horrible for
recital
The two male associates had gained
ACCESS to che corpse, and were biting
and gnaacf1g at the .feshy part of the
body @iM all the eagerness Of their na-
tire caanibaliSm The female stood
aloof in one corner, and by sign, word
and gesture was entreating them to de.
sist 1t is understood that this woman
is a convert to the teachings of English
missionaries, and looks with adherence
upon all the unchristian habits of her
tri0e. Mr.. Smith promptly interfered
and the two miserable beings went sui.
lenly to their apartment. The remains
were quietly buried in the evening.
