HANDSOME VEuIcLE-We were shown
last week. at the Coach Factory of Messrs.
Stump & Hawks, one of the mos. handsome
vehicles we have ever seen-a Jump Seat
Carriage, built at this establishment for Mr..
Shepherd Orndorff, of Shepherdstown. This
carriage is truly model of beauty, comfort
aad utility; and speaks well for the work
turned out at this establishment. which is far
superior to that of many similar man factories,
and, we venture to assert, inferior to none.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. 1872.
The case Of the British government TO be submit
ted to the Geneva tribunal has been filed In the
State Department. This case is understood to be
the WORK OF Montagu Bernard and Lord Tenterden
and Is an able and exhaustive treatment OF the
claims OF America
AZ SEEN FROM AN ENGLISH POINT OF VIEW.
No reference is made to any claim for consequent.
tial damages and the fact that such a claim would
be made does not seem to have entered into the
minds OF the English Commissioners. The prelimi-
nary parts of the case are vouminous. There is
statement OF the matters referred to In the arbira
ton as understood by the British government.
With this there an Introductory statement OF the
events attending the commencement OF the war and
THE COURSE PURSUED by GREAT BRITAIN,
and the considerations proper to be kept in view.
There ID a statement OF facts In reference to the
Florida, the Alabama the Georgia and the Shenan-
correspondence relating TO the four ships mentioned
as well as to the Sumter, Nashville, Phantom,
Alexander and other vessels respecting whom
representations were made to the British govern
menJ. There are papers relating TO the proclama-
tion issued by Great Britain and the Judgments de-
creed by the Exchequer and the Supreme Court.
The exact features Of the case as summed up by
the Commissioners, are as follows

me English excitement continues to be the chief
topic OF conversation at the Capitol Senator
&dmunds said In private this morning that he
should press his resolution OF inquiry at an early
aay. In his judgment the chief object OF the Eng
lish managers of this hurry has been to affect the
determination OF the international tribunal-an act
OF utter bad faith on their part But IL would ap-
pear that their "vsulting ambition has overeaohed
ITSELF" and the erect Of the storm they have raised
~ greater than was expected.

Of Earl Granvilie's note, in not audng to the re-.
ported intention Of Withdrawing from the Con-
ference Is being eagerly canvassed. This is re-
parded a. the loophole of escape for Great Britain
when our refusal to withdraw our case has been
oflcially made and 1t is generally believed here

without having undergone a seizure and trial.
ENGLAND MORE THAN CAREFUL.
Finally, 1t has been seen that the government OF
Her Britannia Majesty, not content with carefully
performing the utmost Of Its power its recognized
International obligations, Overstepped on more than
one occasion actual limit Of those obligations
for the sake Of preventing anything whatever which
might compromise or be reasonably thought to
compromise its neutrality, and, In particular, that
IN order to prevent vessels which had been armed
or built for war within Great Britain from passing
into the HANDS OF q belli0erent. large
expenditure was twice voluntarily incurred,
much OF 1t without any equivalent IN
addition TO the costs and charges occasioned BY I'M
successful proceedings in courts OF law.
REMARKS IN CONCLUSION.
Her Britannia Majesty's government has now
stated for the information OF the arbitrat0rs, the
principal facts which 1t believes TO be material to
lust adjudication the claims urged on the part OF
tho United States. In so doing Her Majesty's gov
eminent has been under the unavoidable disadvan-
tage OF having to meet case which has not yet
been presented. When that shall have been
done, and the claims OF the United states
shall have been clearly ascertained, Der
Maiesty's government will avail itself OF the OPP
portunity which it Will have under article OF
the treaty. to submit to the tribunal such additional
or more ample statement OF facts as may then
appear to be necessary.
WHY ITS PRES ENT CASE IS WEAK.
It forbears, also. until comparison OF the cases
submitted ON both sides shall have shown what
points are really IN dispute between the two
governments, to enter into argument in support Of
its own position and Will for the present content
itself with placing before the tribunal the considera
tons which foll0w:-
S0RRY-vERY.
That vessels should, under whatever circum-
stances, have been procured from British ports for
warlike use and employed as belligerent cruisers
against the United States, Great Britain herself
being neutral, has been subject Of dlspleasure and
regret to Her Britannia Majesty's government
This regret not removed by the facts material "a
they undoubtedly are 10 Just appreciation OF the
question, that the vessels were obtained BY
means OF artince and concealment, which
defeated the vigilance OF the ofncers Of
ths government; that ~ Of them when

Increased Rates of Freight.

sAiany of our citizens have long desired the
railroad lines from Charleston to the mountains
to be under one control and management, in
the, hope that freights and passengers could
and would be transported with more regularity,
celerity and cheapness. But it seems now,
from. information before US, that our people
are likely to be disappointed. Simultaneous
with the news Of the purchase of controlling
interest in the Greenville and Columbia r. r..
By the South Carolina Railroad, and the lease
Of the Blue Ridge r. B. to the same, comes q
new tariff of freights so increased as to- cause
severe comment and Dissatisfaction among the
business community. We append a cornparra-
tive statement to show our meaning, viz: NJ
Freights under old tariff, from Anderson to
Pendleton, per 100 lbs, average IL cts;' Aver
are under new tariff, % cts. ...
From Anderson to Walhalla, old q cts. /;
new 80 cts. average. 49, ,af'c - -.
8 Bale of cotton from Pendleton, old so cts. {;
new Sr.O0.
The difference here given is upon an average
of the several classi6cations of freight, but We
learn that greater increase has been made in
some important classes We trust Col. .Doda-
mead will correct this Immediately, before trade
is diverted elsewhere, if within his power.

The United States Court.

For some unexplained reason, the work of
the United. States Court has already virtually
ended by the discharge of the petit jury and
the absence of Judge Bond. 1t is said, how
ever, that the latter goes to Baltimore for the
purpose of beginning the term of the Circuit
Court in that city. The grand jury will prob
ably be dismissed this week, although a large
number of persons are being daily indicted for
offences against the Ku Klux law. Itseems to
be generally conceded that the trials are ended
for the present, and may not be resumed in the
future. Judge Bryan continues to hold the
Court, and on Monday application was made
for. release upon habeGs corpus of several pris-
oners already sentenced,s on the ground of the
unconstitutionality Of the Act of Congress
under which they were tried and convicted.
The Judge took the petitions under advisement,
and for the purpose of hearing argument.
