A WISE SETTLEMENT.

1.-THE Washington Treaty is lost" pro-
claims heated partisan press, that, to
crafty its hatred of Grant, would glory
in our country's misfortune. But we do
not believe their hopes will be realized.
Our dispatches yesterday morning gave
the substance of the Presidents confiden-
tial message TO the Senate. From what is
made public, we are able to understand
the purport of the document. In the
course of the correspondence on the treaty
it has been intimated to our Government
that while England would feel COM
PEELED to withdraw from the treaty if the
claim for indirect damages was pressed,
she would agree upon a supplemental
treaty that would settle forever the l)Tt1l-
cipLe out of which said claim grew. AS
the final solution of this question was all
our government hoped for in presenting
this claim to the arbitrators, this PROPOSE
ton seemed fair and satisfactory. But the
President alone has no authority to nego-
tiate treaties, hence he has presented the
proposition as u proper one for the consid-
GRAFTON of the Senate. We see no reason
why this manner of dlsposing of the trouble
Should not be satisfa Glory. 1t settles the
principle about which the bad feeling lbe-
tween the two countries originated and
leaves the other question OF direct damage
to- e settled by the Geneva tribunal
While we think it would have been more
satisfactory If the indirect claims had
never been presented, we think the pro
posed splution entirely honorable and sat
isIactory 20 the administration and a very
wise wSyHo dispose of a very unpleasant
question,

GRAFT AND THE DEMOCRACY.

The Greeley organ in this city is quite
mistaken il, thinking that the Republic
cans base their only prospects for electing
Grant upon the hope of regular Demo-
cratic nomination at Baltimore. So far
as we are concerned, we have from the be-
ginning entertained the opinion, that the
nomination of Greeley by the Democrats
at Baltimore would be the surest and
speediest way of disorganiZing and de-
moralizing the Democratic party. The
mistake of the Press and Herald
is in supposing that all Demo-
Gratis are hankering after office and
are willing to sacrifice everything for sue
cess. There are thousands of men North
and South who, like Voorhees,, are Demo
Gratis from principle. They believe in the
old doctrines of the party and have shown
their faith by bearing the brunt of public
odium when TO be Democrat.of the Noor-
| hees school was to be traduced and Wilt
fled everywhere. These men have fought
Horace Greeley for thirty years. They
know that the proposed surrender now Is
| one for place aud Dor6r an abandon
ment Of lifelong convictions for tempo
| rary success the destruction of party
for a mere chance for victory, and they do
| not propose to endorse or participate in it.
These men represent the Intelligence and
honor of the party North, and we feel en-
tirely assured that il their old party-fall-
ing into the hands of the John Morrisseys,
Ben. Woods, and the impetuous and un-
safe leaders of the South-abandon their
tattered flag and rally around the boilers
banner of a comparatively small body OF
Republicans, they will feel absolved from
all old ties and free to vote for the man fol
President, who will give the country the
safest and wisest administration.
We feel convinced, therefore, that Il
Horace Greeley is accepted at Baltimor,

ITS DEDICATION NEAR AT HAND-AN EXAMPLE OF
aENKRosITY.
About three years ago, the congregation which
worshipped at Scott Church determined to en-
large their edifce, and the work was actively be-
gun. Before, however, 1t was completed, the
Building Committee found itself unable to com
plete the work, and it was abandoned for some
time, services, on the meanwhile. being held IN
the basement. But recently work has been re.
sumed in the audience room, and 1t IL expected
that it will have progressed far enough to admit
of it's formal opening in about three weeks
The unfinished condition in which this church
has remained for 30 long a time has been
source OF deep regret not only to the congrega-
tion but to the friends of church improvement
in our city 1t seems, also. to have affected the
consoences of some outside the pale OF the
church, as the following little incident will serve
TO illustrate Last Sunday morning, just before
the hour for the morning service, man under
the influence OF the "ardent" gained admission
10 the audience room. and stood for several
minutes calmly surveying the incomplete air
which it wore. Then drawing from his pocket a
greasy slip OF paper he enclosed In it dollar bill
and wrote a note to the pastor rendering hls
contribution to help the congregation out OF
their difficulty. Here is an act of generosity
