New York, June 22.-Another terri

which, seyeRteen fremen were badly IN

The Herald says it is now morally Ger
tain that Greeley will be nominated at
Baltimore by two-thirds vote on the

for the White House against Grant
The Herald considers that, with Greeley
as the Democratic candidate, there will
be experienced one of the most exciting
and most hotly contested Presidential
battles in the history of the country.
The Herald's special from Geneva
says it has at last transpired that the
question of indirect claims has been
definitely settled, and in q manner un.
expected by any member Of the court Of
arbitration, as we'll as by the outside
world. At meeting of the court on
the 18th an issue came up suddenly
which placed the subject Of these claims
wholly in the possession Of the court
and called for its action, the American
agents and counsel having been in
structed by their government to declare
that the government of the United
States did not seek money awards for in
direct losses through the acts of the
Alabama and other vessels, but only de-
sire settlement on principle.
Lord Tenterden, on the part Of his
Government, called the attention Of the
court to the seventh article of the treaty
Of Washington, which gives arbitrators
only authority to consider claims in re.
lation to money awards, and submitted
that since the United States Govern
ment declared they did not seek money
award for these classes of claims they
could not be properly entertained BY
the court. The American counsel
therefore demanded Judgment on this
issue by the court, the object Of the
American Government having all along
been to secure the decision Of the arb
traitors on the subject Of indirect claims
The court took time for its decision, bul
is known to have decided in favor Of the
point raised by Tenterden and against
the admissibility of indirect claims
This judgment viii be delivered, it il
said, when the court meets on the 26th
and is reported to be acceptable TO botf
Governments. During the recess Gran
vile will negotiate with Fish on the
subject

THE GIFT TO GEORGE WASHINGTON.

THE GIFT TO GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Just now a certain paragraph has be-
come quite popular in Radical papers,

box Of maple sugar by the great Wash

THE NOMINEES OF THE COUNTY con-
VENTION

Last night the labors of the Conven-
ton we're brought to . close after a
stormy and exciting session Of two days
duration. The selection of Major James
Barbour as President was a happy
thought, because owing to his genial
temperament, personal influence, his
decisions on the motions and questions
raised were concurred in with unanimity
by the delegates. On the shrievalty
question the struggle was fierce between
the friends of Mr. c. L. Anderson and
Captain Geo. L. Harris. Finding that
it was a hopeless contest, the delegates
selected a compromise candidate, Mr..
W. J.P. Doyle, a Reform leader and
member Of the late Grand Jury, whose
report created so great sensation some
weeks since. The friends of Mr.. Doyle
in the Convention introduced his name
as a compromise, which was accepted by
the assembled delegates. Mr.. Doyle was
raised in this city, and served with dis
tinction in the Confederate army during
the late war.
Mr.. Achilles Woodward, the candi'
date for Trustee, has been in that Office
two years, aud has the reputation OF tne
business man, whose books have with
stood the closest scrutiny made by the
Grand Jury. Mr.. Woodward is popu-
lar .man, and adds materially to the
strength of the ticket.
The CHARACTERISTIC fell to the lot of a
rising young lawyer, native here and to
the manner born-Mr. Samuel P. Walk
er. lie had a host of friends in the Con-
yention, who worked earnestly and well
for his nomination, and secured it after
hot struggle. Mr.. Walker is the son
of the late Sam. P. Walker, of this city.
Mr.. Walker has fine reputation among
his legal brethren, and viii, no doubt,
give universal satisfaction as Chance
lor.
The candidate selected for State and
County Tax Collector was Mr.. George
R. Powell, who, some years since, held
the Office, and who probably understands
its business details better than any man
in Shelby country. He has a strong
array of friends throughout the city and
county who will support him on election
day.
Captain ]. Harvey Mathes was selected
as the nominee for the Office of Tax Col
lecter on Privileges, which Office he has
held for two years in a manner most sat
isfactory to the people. His reelection
is foregone conclusion and his nomina-
ton strengthens the ticket immensely.
The election will come off on the first
Thursday in August next. The candi-
dates and their friends must 20 to work

tion-an opposition not to be ignored or
