Trouble Among tho Labor Reformcrs.

Trouble Among the Labor Reformcrs.
Trouble seems to be brewing in the camp of
the labor reformers. The New Haven Ne,ss-
which speaks for the workingmen-does not
like the idea of calling the Executive Com
mttee of the national labor party at Cincin-
matt two days before the meeting of the Liberal
Republican Convention, regarding it as "a
piece of political jugglery too transparent to
deceive any one, and the delay of formally
presenting the nomination to the candidates
until after the liberal republicans have NOM
mated is supposed to be another shrewd
move, but that the motive is apparent In
regard to the meeting Of the committee it is
asserted that the State committees of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and New York refuse to
have anything to do with it, and that probably
not half dozen Of the committee will be pres
ent outside Of those who are in sympathy with
the liberal republican movement. 1t is stated
that Governor Baker, who received the labor
party nomination for Vice President has for
several weeks been ready to receive formal
visit from the committee and was prepared to
write letter giving his views; but he has
been prevented from declaring himself, al
though it is understood he endorses the labor
platform entire because the committee did not
carry out the instructions given to them by the
Convention and notify him Of his nomination.

AT THE DINNER OF THE ST. GHoRGE's Soc1Ery
last evening Sir Edward Thornton made a
brief but significant allusion to the Treaty of
Washington. His language was evidently
carefully studied, and its decidedly unpleasant
frmness of tone, following too, so closely the
equally decided declarations Of our own gov
ernment, gives little hope of speedy settle
ment of the Alabama claims. Sir Edward
went so far as to propose q specific solution
of all outstanding difficulties between the two
nations. His plan, however, will scarcely be
Immediately accepted, since it consists simply
of an absolute and unconditional withdrawal
by this country of her claims for indirect
damages. Such a withdrawal, Sir Edward
says, might be made without dishonor. No
doubt; but General Grant and the country
think that England may also, without dis
honor commit her interests, as she solemnly
agreed to do, to the decision of the Geneva
Conference.

have not had time to produce their proper
fruit, while his errors and defects are imme
diately visible; and the tories have deter
mined to take advantage of existing circum
stances, and make out of them what political
capital they can.
AT an unfortunate time for Mr. Gladstone,
at a most convenient time for Mr. Disraeli, a
hitch has taken place in the proceedings grow
ing out Of the Washington Treaty. Mr.. Dis
raeli has given US no reason to believe that he
is more sound and sensible in his interpreta-
ton of that treaty than is Mr.. Gladstone In
his great Manchester speech we seek in vain
for one glimmer of light If he was hard on
the British Ministry, he was scarcely less hard
on the American people If he could speak of
the bungling policy Of the one, he had some
thing to say of the absence of honor on the
part Of the other. It is not to be denied, how
ever that the Manchester demonstration was
grand success. On his arrival thousands as
sembled to welcome him at the station, and in
spite Of the heavy rain forty thousand persons
attended the reception in the dancing saloon
at the Pomona Gardens. There, enthroned
on q platform, Mr.. Disraeli sat like king
receiving deputations. No wonder the tory
chief felt proud, and it was not without reason
that he described his reception as ''an honor
unparalleled in the life of any public man."
The one great fact which the Manchester demon
stration taught the world was that the tory chief
of Great Britain was not the head of the
house of Cecil or the head Of the house of
Stanley, but the untitled son of descendant
of Abraham. Mr.. Disrael has good cause to
be proud of his position. 1t is position
which no man working from the same begin
nings and by the same means ever won before
In the event of the Gladstone Ministry failing
in bringing about an amicable settlement of
the difficulties between Great Britain and the
United States there can be no doubt that the
force of public opinion would make dissolu-
ton or resignation necessary. If in either
event the tories should succeed to power Mr..
Disraei will again figure as the Prime Minister
Of England. On former occasion, and in the
matter Of q reform bill, Mr.. Disraei was sue
cessful in accomplishing task in which Mr..
Gladstone failed. 1t would not be wonderful
if, in 1872, the author Of ''Conyngsby" and
'Lothair" should win another and even greater
victory. And it would be no small triumph to
the tory party if they, not the wings, should
be successful in bringing this vexed Alabama
question to an amicable and honorable con-
clusion.

Catacazy's Retirement.

The rumor regarding NJ Catacazzy's treat
ment by the Cars government which has
been going the rounds of the papers Of late,
appears to have been made upon good founda-
ton. The imperial commission appointed TO
investigate the acts of the fallen Minister con-
cluded its labors after hearing his defence.
Strange to say the revelations made by M.
Catacazy did not favorably impress the mem
bers of that body, and he failed to convince
them that he was more sinned against than
SHINING in the United States. The truth is,
Catacazy had bad case, and all his talking
and letter writing could avail him nothing
when judged imparhaiiy By his own country
men. His name, we are informed by our st.
Petersburg correspondent is erased from the
rolls of the Foreign Office and he himself cut
off with a pension of two thousand dollars o
year, with the understanding, moreover that
he must not have anything further to say in
print on the subject of his difficulty with the
American Secretary of State. To be pensioned
off and thus Inundated with an injunction
placed upon his pen is an infiction which
less energetic worker than the little mercurial
ambassador would find it difficult to bear He
looked forward to his defence to vindicate his
course abroad and pave the way to new honors
at home, but his efforts ended in failure. He
cannot even now tell his story to the world save
at the expense of imperial displeasure and the
loss of his pension. This is the worse cut of ALL
If the imperial government desired, it could
not have inflicted more severe punishment
on him. man afflicted with cacosthes scri-
bendi cannot be tortured more than by being
prevented from gratifying his desire to write
Poor Catacazy's fate is sad one, but he has
himself alone to thank for it,

The BRITISH COUNTER CASE IN PARLIAMENT -
The steamship Cuba which arrived at this port
last night, brought us English mails containing
the full report Of the discussion on the British
counter claims and the Geneva arbitration,
which took place before the Houses of Lords
and Commons on the 18th inst The cable at
the time informed us of the substance of the
debate, which we now publish in detail in
apother page Of this mornings issue. The
leading editorials Of the London Times and
Standard on the day the subject was before
Parliament accompany the report of the
proceedings.

The Carlist Movement for Revolution
In Spain.

The Carlist Movement for Revolution
In Spain.
The dispatches from Madrid and Paris go
to show that Spain remains deeply agitated by
reason of the efforts which arc being made by
the Carlists to revoluionize the kingdom
against Amadeus Bands of peasantry have
organized in arms in some few of the provin-
cial districts Collisions have taken place
between the military and the people. ''Charles
the Seventh and death to Liberals have
been vociferated here and there, and the
stereotyped phrases which obtain in vogue
with unreasoning rustics when excited by poll
ticans are reproduced. The Kings officers
are vigilant and active. Don Carlos per-
sonal movements appear to be of very
uncertain character. II is said that he
is advancing cautiously to the border of Spain
for absolute return to his country, and it is also
alledged that he has not taken his departure
from Geneva. Many arrests have been made
prisoners were some surpliced agitators. It is
reported that one clergyman has been shot The
French government maintains its neutrality
towards Spain by the exercise of most watch
full police system on the territorial border line.
Amid all these facts and rumors of plots
and counterplots we find parliamentary party
in caucus in Madrid for the purpose of
nominating candidate for the Presidency of
the Cortes. This affords melancholy ex-
ample of the spirit of Neroism which moves
the modern politician; it is the fddling, with
Rome burning. Unhappy Spain! Is the
war blight of your olive branch permanent for
evil to the nation?

The SrocK RA1sERs OF TEXAS have expressed
grateful recognition Of the efforts Of the
Herald for their protection against the Mexican
banditti. The military meastlres lately adopted
by the government are ascribed to the agita-

measure which contemplates the conversion of
Trinity College, Dublin, into national Uni

THE DECAY OF METz. The French inhab-
itants of Metz evidently do not take kindly to
German rule A German census lately taken
shows that the population since the war has
diminished about fifteen thousand. Before
the conflict with Germany Metz had popula-
ton of forty five thousand and a reduction of
that number by one-third makes q very per-
ceptible difference in the prosperity of the city.
1t is not probable that the decrease is going to
stop here. Neither can it be expected that the
gap thus occasioned will be supplied by Ger
man emigration. The German emigrant as
rule, desires more staple home than that
which can be afforded him in the newly ac-
4uired territory, and The United States holds
out more substantial inducements to him to
emigrate than residence on French soil.
Besides, it is not quite so certain that France
will not within few years make an attempt
to reclaim all she has lost in the disastrous
campaigns of 1870 and II.

Gals and legitimists are excluded from its coun-
sells. The party which is to be known as the
national party of France, has recognized the
republic in its programme. This is sensible,
for, taking it all in all, the republic, in the face
of its manifold obstacles, deserves well of the
French nation and those who desire the pros

letter from our London correspondent giving
an account Of the fifth meeting of the Interna-
tional Prison Congress-, which was held in the
hall of the Middle Temple Mr.. Daniel

letter of yesterday was but one of series,
some of which have already appeared in the
