TELEGRAM TO TIE NEW YORK HFRsln

The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our corre-
spondent in the British capital
LONDON, Jan. 80, 1872.
Geneva Convention will necessarily disap-
point the hope of the public and end in failure.
If the Conference should agree in favor of
the American claims no English government
would accept the result and no Parliament
would vote the compensation money. Hence
the movement which is being made to termi-
nate the proceedings just now, under pretence
of different national Interpretation of the
treaty.
BRITISH EDITORIAL ARGUMENT.
The London 7imes in its editorial argu-
ment on the subject, says:-sEngand should
demur to the American claim of indirect dam
ages, and if the Court of Arbitration reject
the demurrer she should withdraw from the
sitting and from participation in the case"
CABINET RESOLVE EXPRESSED THROUGH THE
PRESS.
This is not a newspaper argument addressed
to the British government, but is in reality the
government view put out in the newspaper
as feeler of the sentiment of the people.
1t is the English Cabinet which says in the
concluding words of the article, ''We
cannot acquiesce in construction of the
treaty which we are determined not to
acknowledge if approved against us"
PARLIAMENTARY OPINION OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.
The Hon. Peter John Locke King, M. p.
for East Surrey, in an address delivered at
Southwark tonight, said that ''the we'll
informed people of England were not uneasy
about the American treaty."

The following special despatch to the

spondent at the capital of France
PARIS, Jan. 80, 1872.
President Theirs, when discussing with
Alphonse Rothschild the government project
which was recently put forth, with the inten-
ton Of furthering the movement to secure
complete evacuation of the French territory
by the Prussians (the plan of the tobacco
monopoly mortgage lien) said :'T would
like to see an end of the German occupation
if we had stable government and settled
public opinion in France. AS it is with us
just now, if the Germans were gone we
would have worse than they. Demagogues
and Bonapartists would come forth. and bring
with them all the calamties which ever ensue
from relentless party strife. In a few days
will yield, though with regret, to the general
desire which exists for their retirement, but
consider that the presence of the Prussian
troops affords a guarantee for peace and
order"
REPUBLICANIsM OR oRLEANIsM?
It is reported that M. Picard will shortly

stations of the country.

THE DISTURBED STATE OF IRELAND. The
new year ushered in, unhapply for Ireland, a
condition OF things not at all assuring of that
peace which the lovers of law and order desire
to see realized. During the first week of the
new year crimes of various kinds and in differ
ent parts Of the country are reported by the
HERALD's correspondents in Ireland. The
faction fights of bygone days are revived in
the feuds Of private individuals; landlord and
tenant scrapes prevail in many districts, and
quarrels between hot-blooded neighbors are
not unusual occurrences. In the cities of Cork
and Galway and in the counties of Donegal and
Lmerici. we learn of bloody and fatal ARRAYS.
The disturbances in the localities referred
to have little or no political significance, and
may be considered to have arisen out of
private revenge or heated tempers. There
are, however, outrages reported which have
sprung from agrarian and political motives
and, taken altogether, state of affairs exists
in Ireland at present which is lamentable to
reflect upon.

the In6inn Peace Policy.
The Amnesty bill came up again in the
Senate yesterday, and was discussed the
greater part of the day without any action
having been taken on it, Mr.. Salisbury, of
Delaware, advocated it, not as measure of
mercy, but as one demanded by considera-
tons of public policy and of Justice 1t may
fairly be questioned, however, whether his
speech strengthened the chances of the bill
passing, inasmuch as he introduced in it a
large share of partisan bitterness, accusing
the republican party of having inflicted
on the country many great evils, includ-
ing an irredeemable and deprecated
paper currency, ruined commerce and
deteriorated navy. MIR. Schurz, of
and intimated his intention of pressing an
amendment to strike out the exceptions con-
tanned in the bill affecting ex-Congressmen
and officers of the army and navy. He laid
down the very sensible proposition that on
this subject Congress had to deal, not with
tae past, not with the enormity Of the crime
of rebellion, but with the present and with the
future interests of the South and of the whole
country.
Mr.. Pomeroy's bill setting apart the valley
at the headwaters Of the Yellowstone River,
in Wyoming Territory. for grand national
park, was taken up and passed without dis
cussion. We have already alluded at length
to the boldness and novelty of this idea and
the splendid park it will secure to the nation.
Its thermal springs, its foaming geysers and
geological wonders will become one of the
wonders Of the world, and when it is placed
within easy reach Of tourists no education
will be considered complete without visit
to its marvels. The House bill appropri-
ating fifty thousand dollars to entertain
the Japanese Embassy also went through
without debate The old French spolia-
ton bill made its appearance again, hav-
ing been reported by Mr.. Cameron from
the Committee on Foreign Relations. The bill
provides for the appointment of three commits
sioners to examine and audit those claims
which accrued prior to 1901, and which are
entirely in the hands of spectators and lobby
agents, and to order their payment up to the
amount of five millions Of dollars.
The House, after spending the morning
hour-or rather two hours-over bills Of a
legal and technical character, reported from
the Committee on the Revision of the Laws,
took up the Indian Appropriation Bill and went
over the same old story of Indian depreda-
tons set off by the cruelty of white settlers.
Very little progress was made in the bill
itself.
The investigation into the causes of the re-
cent suspension of national banks Is about to
be entered upon by the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, authority to that effect
having been given yesterday.
