The Alabama case seems now to be
hopelessly complicated, and She Washing
ton Treaty has dropped iuto waste
basket Of diplomatic experiments and
philanthropic dreams, greatly to the re-
greet of that genial artist Mr.. Frank b.
Carpenter, who had planned grand
historic picture representing the august
Convention which inaugurated the prin-
ciple of international arbitration. Either
the canvas will have to wait, or the
picture will stand as memorial of dis
appointed expectations and clumsy diplo-
macy. There is no question that the
Administration Numbered in making up
its prepostorous statement of consequent
ial damages and when it found that
England would not submit to arbitrate
on such basis, it proposed to virtually
cancel this element of the case by the
suggestion that it did not expect the
arbitrators to seriously consider it, even
if they admitted the matter as proper
subject for consideration. In other words,
this claim is merely so much thunder
manufactured to accompany the lightning
and make it seem terrible; but it was
never intended to hurt anybody and no.
body need be scared by the roar. But
this humiliating acknowledgment does
not satisfy the English, who insist upon
a complete surrender of the claim before
they allow the case to 60 to the Court.
1t remains to be seen what our Govern.
ment will do in case which it has mis-.
managed from the outset, until it is now
hopelessly entangled.

The Governor Question.

The Montpelier Watchmaa recently
announced Governor Stewart as candi-
date for reelection, but in the light of
q comparison of views among the poll
ticians at the Bellows Falls convention,
in the next issue, it says it didn't mean
it; that Mr.. Stewart is likely to be ov.
er.ruled in regard to his individual choice
in this matter that he is wanted for
Member of Congress, &c. Mr.. Stewart
has himself received intimations of the
popular wish in this regard, more direct
from the people, and not colored by COM
ing through the medium of political ill.,
triguers. And SO great is the earnest
ness of these requests and SO frequently
recurring, and corresponding, as they do,
with his own personal preferences, he
does not feel at liberty to refuse to be a
candidate for reelection, even though he
would like to please some of his friend;
who are DESTROYS that he should repre-,
sent them In the National Congress.
1t gives great us pleasure, therefore, tc
be able to say that Mr.. Stewart is can
didate for reelection, and he refers the
matter to the people for their approva
or disapproval. If they choose to cal
him to that Office he will cheerfully &C
cept its responsibilities for another term
The settlement of this preliminary
question in this way, will crafty very
many of those who have been accustom
ed to suppose that Mr.. Stewart woul'
prefer an election to Congress, and VIII
have proceeded upon that theory AM

Waterman, who says, "lf Gov Stewar
is to be a candidate for reelection to tn
Office which he has filled with so muc
honor and to universal acceptance, the

1t appears that controversy is immi-
nent, in our County convention, over the
Office Of Sheriff. The present incumbent,
Mr.. Trip, has discharged the duties of
the Office for several years past, to the
general satisfaction of the people. lie
will be candidate for reelection, and
we think is quite likely to receive the
nomination in the convention, with con-
siderable unanimity. The opposing can-
didate, as we understand, will be Mr..
George F. Skiff, Of Monkton, who has
been deputy under Mr.. Trip, during
his term Of service. Mr.. Skiff is an eff.
6cient officer, and so far as we know, a
gentleman of integrity and worthy of the
esteem of the people. But the Office Of
Sheriff is not one which should be chang
ed except for cause, and we are satisfied
from intimations we have received from
different parts of the county, that the
people do not favor a change in the Office
at this time. Without disparagement t.
Mr. Skif, for whom we have very friend
ly feelings, We may say, that we SHOULD
regard it serious blunder, if nothin,
worse, to displace Mr.. Trip for any 9th
er candidate, whoever he might be.

@As will be gathered from the
Presidential notes which give this week,
there is a tremendous upheaval of politi-
cal opinions which threatens the general
breaking up of established party lines.
What the result will be it is impossible,
with any degree of certainty, to say. But
we do not believe the Republican party
has yet finished up its noble work. II
this were to be the end of it, its record
already made, would be the most glori
GUS Of any party which has yet had an
existence in this country. But there is
work yet to be done in the line Of prog.
ressive advancement which seems to be-
long to this political organization. With
out impugning the motives Of Mr.. Gree
ley, whom we admire and love, for the
noble work he has done and is doing in
many ways, we must deeply deplore
the madness and folly, whether it be Of
personal ambition, or pique, or some mis-
taken notion of reform, which leads him
to give countenance to movement that
endangers the existence and usefulness Of
this party. If the prospects of his owr
success were greater, we might the more
readily excuse his action, for we are
bound to believe that he would be true tc
himself and his lifelong principles of re.
form and progress. But with the pres
ent outlook we must consider it strange
infatuation. Our advice to all good Re
publicans is, stick by your party. Any
other course is full of danger.
