The Cotton Claims In Washington.

This question, which, since the war
closed, has, in one form or another
been before the Departments, the Court
Of Claims, the Supreme Court and both
houses of Congress, is in as great a
muddle as ever.
1t appears there IS a fund OF about
twenty-five millions of dollars in the
Treasury, which is held in trust for the
claimants, though ten millions of that
is barred, it is said, by statute of limi-
tation. An effort has been made in
Congress, by an amendment to the De-
ficiency bill, to lock up this money in
the Treasury, and thus to leave the
judgments Of the courts in favor of the
claimants unsatistied. The Committee
of Conference of the two houses propos-
cd to abandon this amendment, but
the House was not willing TO yicId.-
The muddle arises from the want of Il
due sense of justice on the part of some
of the members, from the old bitter
feeling against everything connected
with the South, and from the Unsuitable
lobby which has connected itself with
the cotton claims.

The Last Big Job.

The present Administration of the
United States Government is big
thing on ice. 1t has undertaken very
many big jobs, and what is more, it has
invariably carried them through to the
same inevitable result. 1t undertook
to make n big job out of the st. Domin-
go affair-result: nothing! Its propo-
sal to uncarth II terrible conspiracy in
South Carolina was another big job
result: nothing. Its attemptto frighten
Great Britain into paying the, so-called,
Alabama claims, was another big job
result: far worse than nothing. Its
movements made with the avowed
intention of putting down Mormon
ism and crushing out poligamy was
another big job-resuit: the Mormon
faith strengthened by persecution, and
the Mornlons now the happiest people
on the face of the globe.
This Mormon affair may be reck oncd
as the last big job. The "powers''
Went to work with Il will that seemed
to tell OF business. In u short time u
very dark cloud was made to gather
over the "Latter Day Saints" Their
prophet and ruler was seized and cast
into prison under Il charge of murder.
Most of their chief elders We're dealt
with i'll the same way, and every prom
inent man among them was either in
Jail or under bonds. Many were put
through trial, ot1e'' tie .tt,Shiou, and
imprisoned for high crimes and misde.
mcanors, some of them for life. Poor

an end, and Grant was understood to be
entitled to the glory and vote of califor-
MIA for the same.

puts new face upon the picture-a do.

JouN TUBERY vs.. NJ. a. NADAL.-
This was II case instituted to recover
twelve Promissory notes given for the
rent of II house. The owner sold six Of
them to Mr.. Tubery. The house burnt
after the lapse of six months. The notes
showed on their face to be for value re-
ceivcd i'll rent. .....
An act was brought by Tubery for
the six notes due. The defense set up
was that the consideration had failed,
because the house was burnt.
1t was held by tho court, under de-
cision of II An, p. III, that the drawer
of the notes was bound to pay them;
1'ubery having purchased them previ-
GUS to the destruction of the house.
The supreme Court, in the decision
above mentioned, says: ....
If such We're sufficient defense it would
destroy materially the negotiability of
notes, for in almost every case of the
purchase ola note, the buyer knows
there might be equities between the
original parties to tho same. .s
1t cannot affect the negotiability ofa
note, that it's consideration Is to be
hereafter realized, or from some con-
tingcncy it may never be enjoyed. VIA
Any one having sufficient confidence
in another to give his written obliga-
ton forsomething to be given or enjoy
ed hereafter is ut liberty to do so, and
the maker cannot celsure any future
holder OF the note for having purchased
it, and for seeking to hold him liable,
for it was the faith of the maker in the
payee that lie would execute his promise
and allow no obstacle to defeat it that
creoted the note and gave currency to 1t.

Depend upon it, says It prominent
Democratic paper, this is not the time
for Democrats to hoist the white fcnth-
er. The moderate Republicans are be-
coming Democrats in all articles of faith
which now have any political life, and
they will cone to us. They are now
as bitterly opposed to the intitudinari-
anism of Mr.. Sumner as we are, and
may do as much to re-cstablish the
good old principles of Andrew Jackson
rs we. In other words, they will re-
turn to the party from which they
departed. Why, then, should Demo
Gratis surrender when rcinfOrccmcnts

Ben Butler is as happy US II big sun
flower over the nomination of Greeley.
"NoW he is fair and square before tho
country where we can tell the truth
about him. exclaimed the bcllicosc
Benjamin to Il friend who approached
him on the subject. "Now we can go
for him us he deserves. We shall pro-
cccd to tell the truth about the old
white turn-coat, and let the country
know what sort of u man he is. We
shall open all our batteries, and he will
get such n volley as never man got be-
fOre.''
1t is proper in this connection to
tell what fs the matter with BENJAMIN.
When he ran for Governor last year
the Tribune did not support him. In
fact, during the exciting canvass be-
fore the nomination, it. fired ut Ben
fragments of his old record, and often
unseeming documents. Now Ben's
day of revenge has come and he re-

The Consequential Damages.

The President yesterday sent Il brief
message to the Senate embodying an
additional article to the Washington
treaty, and also transmitting cores
pondence in the case. The Senate re-
fused to remove the injunction of Sc
crecy, but ordered the message and
documents to be printed in confidence
and referred to the Committee On For
eign Relations, but inaslnuch rs the
same matter was to-day given by Mr..
Gladstone to the British Parliament,
we expect that it will reach us in Il
mutilated form over the Atlantic Ca
BILE.
The question, as it now stands, is UNI
derstood to be simply whether the
claims for consequential damages shall
be submitted to the decision Of the
Board of Arbitration us legitimately
coming under the treaty. The posi-
ton of the English Ministry is that the
treaty itself clearly excludes them.
This position was rashly taken by Mr..
Gladstone in that unfortunate speech
Of his in which, under oratorical ex-
element, or through fear of the oppo-
nents of the Ministry in England, he
was induced to take II stronger posi-
ton than he otherwise would have
taken. The pressure from without has
OSSh lSSSSllSN0 StNSS tNeAs
and Gladstone is under much less res
traint. lie now takes the ground that
the President, if he should think prop
er, can waive the presentation of
these claims ut the present time and
leave them to be settled by future ne
gotiation. He is further willing to
agree that no claims for consequential
damages shall be entertained by either
nation against the other in any future
contingencies. Gladstone is believed
to be anxious to save his Ministry
without sacrificing the treaty..
1t is understood that President Grant
is willing to withhold these claims
for the present, and to make them the
subject of future. negotiation. The
present indications in regard to the
treaty are decidedly in favor of its sue
cess. The disposition evinccd by both
the high contracting parties seems fa-
vorable to a compromise which will
enable the Court of Arbitration to pass
upon the actual damages wrought by
the Alabama in her piratical career
The indemnity for these will amount
to no slight sum, and will, perhaps,
have all the effect that was expected
from the consequential damages. En-
gland will find that she is held to high
er responsibilities as n neutral Power,
and that neutral obligations can not be
tritied with. - Washington CH ronicle,

The origin of the Carlist troubles in
Spain has a close relation to the ques-
ton of woman's rights. In the year
1929, Ferdinand VII.,, being then in
his forty-siNth year, II widower nnd
chilalcss, married II young wife, Chris
tina, n Bourbon of the Two Sicilies.
This young woman induced King Fer
dinand to annul the Salic law which
governed the succession, and excluded
females from the throne of Spain. The
law was annulled about four months
previous to the birth of the first child,
Maria Isabella. Another dauthter was
born, and the King died in 1893. I'm
der the Salic law Don Carlos, Ferdi-
nand's younger brother, had been the
next in succession to the throne; but
that law having been annulled by roy
al decree, the infant, Maria Isabella,
was proclaimed Queen. Don Carlos
was banishcd, and the popular risings
i'll his favor promptly suppressed by
the Regent, Queen Christina. The
lion, and after Il bloody struggle of
seven years duration, the contest was
settled in favor of the Queen.
The Don Carlos of to day is the grand
son of the Prince in whose behalf the
party was first established. He is mar
ried to Bourbon of the House of Par
ma, by whom he has one son and two
daughters. The triumph of Don Car
los would simply result in the reestab-
lishment OF the old Bourbon regime,
with its retrogrcssivc policy and dcs-
potic tendencies.

During his Royal IIighncss' illness Il
robust young countryman, half gentle
man, was always remarked ut the Cha
tcau Sandringham; he was admitted to
the patients bedside, and the Prince
appeared to be deeply attached to him.
Everybody was puzzled at the presence
Of this stranger, whose name and posi-
ton We're kept secret. Here is the
enigma explained. In 1855, during the
stay of the Royal family in the isle of
Wight, the Prince of Wales kicked
over basket of shells which boy was
gathering. The boy, red with rage,
dared his Royal IIighness to edo it
again" The Prince did do it again,
and the boy thereupon landed his fist
upon his Royal HighneSs' nose, giving
him a pair of black eyes. The Queen,
on seeing the Prince. insisted upon
| knowing the truth: "YOu have got
what you Deserve" said her Majesty;
''and We're you not sufficiently pun
! ished, I would punish you myself. 7
hope you will aIwaas be served in the
same way when you are guilty of such
conduct" The Queen then sent for
the boys parents, and offered tobring
him up. The parents consented: tho boy
has grown up With the Prince of Wales,
and is now treated az his foster brother.
