REvRRDY JOHNSON ON TIRE AMERICAN
Casa meeting was held i'm Baltimore last
night at the Charles street Methodist church,
under the auspices of the American Peace So
ciety, 10 discuss the Washington treaty, and the
Hon. Reverdy johnson presided, and addressed
the audience in an exhaustive speech OF nearly
Two hours on the relations between the countries
particularly with reference to ''our case" before
the Geneva commission and the question OF con-
sequential damages. He argued that it was clear
that the preferment Of such q claim by the
United States before the Geneva commission
was not contemplated 10y the High Commission
ers of Great Britain under the terms of the
treaty, and that if such was the construction by
the High Commissioners on the part of the
United States not one OF them had ever 90 AS
serted it, Mr.. johnson said there were three
modes Of settling the matter: First, that Eng
land should consent to permit the claim to 90
before the commission. This she might safely
do, and II that board decided il had jurisdiction
OF the question of consequential damages il
should reject the claim; second, awithdrawal of
sueh claim by the United States, and if the
speaker had the ear Of the President he would
advise such withdrawal; and third, its POSTPONE
ment az q subject of future negotiations. Mr.
johnson argued that the Treaty of Washington
was great achievement in the interest of ptace
between all nations fcr the settlement OF all
questions Of arbitration.

In consequence of oOmpMnhf from sewral quater OF the dsprpMGon tat hast some long
time been prevailing in regard to the way in which the expenses attending the introduction of for
enl abouWrsh have been betrayed under the system developed in practice; and chiefly in cnse-
qume fa memorial fom great majority ofpantHs soliciting that steps be hkento remove that

it is expeced that the desired bpct will be achieved.
According to the Ordnance Ad July 1866 the @pensesa attending the introduction doragn
Rbouesm under thee control Of the Authorities and with peunay aid from the lmngahonunu
were to be so betrayed tdo one third part should be contributed by the 1mmigradomund and the

Instinct OF Turtles.

Audubon, the naturalist, stated that
at certain places on the coast of Flor
ida sea turtles, those huge, stolid-look-
ing reptiles on which aldermen are fed
at the expense of taxpayers, possess an
extraordinary faculty of finding places.
Working their way up out of the reach
of tide-water with their hippers, quite q
deep hole is ~excavated, in which a
batch of eggs are deposited, and then
carefully covered up. On reaching the
water they not untrequently swim three
hundred miles out at sea, foraging for
appropriate food. When another batch
OF eggs are developed, after a lapse of
about fourteen days, they will return
u%nerringly in a direct line, even in the
darkest night, and visit the buried
eggs. Removing the sand, more are
deposited and secured. Away they go
again rs before. They know instinct
lively the day and hour when the young
brood, incubated by solar rays, will
brenk the shell, and are promptly at
the spot to liberatc them from their
prison. AS soon az fairly out of the
hole, the mother turtle leads them down
the bank to the waves, and there ends
her parental solicitude and maternal
duties.

spirators throw it down, we will take it up and
bid defiance to the outrage sought to be per-

The committee appointed to prepare an adj
dress reported. The address recites that the
action of the National Democratic Convention.
in adopting the Cincinnati ticket, is a virtual
dissolution of the Democratic organization and
an unconditional abandonment of the princi-
pies of the party" that the convention has
been false to its obligation of duty, to prin-
ciple, to regard for consistency, and to every
sentiment of political honor" The address
concludes by recommending that a convention
