Geneva Arbitration.
A Herald special from Geneva says
that the Court OF Arbitration on the
Alabama claims case, previous to the
adjournment for a recess, required the
legal arguments on three points, each
being in itself of high importance.
These points were placed before the
counsel in the following order: First,
to show what is termed due diligence
on the part OF a nation as a principle
of law. Second, what was the value oi
tie commissions held by the Confeder.
ate cruisers, and how far did they entail
responsibility upon England when they
entered her ports. Third, how far did
the coaling OF the cruisers in Eng glish
ports make Englsnd responsible for
their acts. These points have been
elaborately argued by Sir ROUNDED Pal
mer and Messrs. Gushing and White.
The very fact of the arbitration tribunal
investigating the cases brought within
it's jurisdiction in suct thoroughly
searching manner, as may be seen from
it's investigation in the treatment Of
these points, is a strongly favorable in
dica,ion that it's complete work will be
satisfactory to the parties concerned.
The Herald ON tho North Carolina
Frauds.
The Herald, editorislly, in relation to
the recent election in North Carolina
says: There has been no election ol
late in which, from all appearances
there mas been such gross irregularity
and tampering with the ballot-box as
in the recent election in North Carolina.
Politicians there are not less unscrupu'
lous and bold in their dishonest manip-
ulations OF the ballot than those in
New York have been. 1t seems evil
dent that the Administration Republi.
cans have been playing a desperate
game. Under such q state OF things
the ballot-box is farce. The Legisls-
ture, when it meets, will undoubtedly
investigate the matter. Though Cald'
we'll may claim to be elected Governor
by a thousand or fifteen hundred ma
jority, he may yet find that his bogus
votes will not be recognized, and that
Merriman may, after all, be elected
Governor by handsome majority. We
hope, for the sake Of the purity OF the
ballot-box and republican institutions
that the matter will be thoroughly
probed and the fraud exposed, which
ever party may gain or lose by the OPP
Grafton, and we warn the Administra-
ton not to interfere, but to leave the
local authorities to decide upon and
control their own affairs

Liverpool, August let, arrived at this

The prediction OF Plantamour, tha
collision between the earth and the
coming comet would take place to-day
has not had the effect OF creating any
great excitement. Everybody appears
to be waiting the coming event with
great indifference 1t ia now said tha
Plaptamour never predicted the calam
ity, but that the whole story originated
in French newspapers.
