THE SPEECH OF COUNT sCLoPTs
Just BEIGE the rising of the court today: aAt
the moment when the knot OF those complica-
tons which threatened TO prevent the execution
OF the treaty is about to be cut, when our labors
are about to take their free and regular course,
permit me dear honered colleagues, TO assure you
now mighty appreciate the distinguished honor
OF sitting with you ia this tri buna on which the
eyes OF the civilized world are now fixed Let
me- express my gratitude for the fiatttering mark
or confidence bestowedi in placing me in tue the
presidential chair-a distinction unmerited by
me. The assemblage of this tribunal signifies
that new direction has been given TO the i'm
pulse OF Ideas governing the policy of nations
most advanced in the path Of civilization "A direc-
ton for the control of which an elevated sphere
and range OF politics prevails over the teuden-
eies OF me ancient system OF routine which in
duced TO disastrous wars, and thus places the
interests OF ourcommon humanity above tn at of
mere temporary policy. Such work is hailed
by every generous heart as the fulfllment of the
1S56 TO refer points of difference to friendly
powers. Thanks TO the initiative Of the states
men OF England ard the United States: this
idea bears fruit; and history will tell how, amid
recrimination on both sides way NAV always
be left open for the settlement Of a dispute
peacefully. This must have required great
n
forests of humanity. The Prime Minister Of
England has spoken Of the treaty as an exam
pie to all other nations. Let us,
gentlemen, cong atulate ourselves on as
slstlng In this work and hope that the
joyful anticipation may be fulfilled.
The old maxim of might conquers right will
disap pear. Do not despair because we are called
% consider the question after prolonged nego-
uauons. Rather judge by the documents pro-
duced and the arguments delivered The longer
the Investigation the safer the solution ,Juige
with profound equity and absolute importantly
agents on both sides, and the counsel, who are
ei. ,l. nris-consults, and are known all over
the world. AS we Are engaged Ia work of
peace, affecting the interests of humanity
everywhere, you, like myself, will desire 20 be
words of the great George Washington, sIf
there be one truth firmly established, il il that
there is relationship between the pure maxims
OF an honest, magnahimeus policy and the solid
rewards Of prosperity and public happiness"

by Granville in his statement TO the House of
Lords 10 the instructions received by Bancroft

board OF arbitrators on the subject OF indirect
crmages, am permitted TO use the declaration

commercial marine to the British flag; sec
ond, the enhanced payments of insurance,
and, third, the prolongation OF the war aud the
addition OF large sum to the cost OF the war
and the suppreSsionof the rebellion, is accepted
by the President az determinative OF their judg-
ment upon the important question of law in
volved. The agent of the United States is au-
thorized to say that, consequently, the above
mentioned claims viii not be further insisted
upon before the tribunal by the United States
and may be excluded from consideration in any
award that may be made TO this government
IL is understood at the State Department that
while Charles Francis Adams, in discussion
with his colleagues, fairly presented the views
of the American government, he finally ac-
quiesced in the opinion OF Sir Alex. Ceckburn
the British arbitrator, and so doing carried
with him the other arbitrators."
