Geneva Commission.

The following is the full text of the
Geneva Conference, and it ought to be,
and we believe it is, all that the most
sanguine friends of the United States
could expect. This result would have
been reached much earlier, and saved
to the business and credit of the Coun-
try more than ten times the amount of
the final award, but for the disgraceful
blunder of the Administration in allow
ing demand to be preferred for conse-
quential damages; claim devoid of
equities and without precedent, with
no rule or measure of amount.
A claim so manifestly tricky and petit
fogging in its pretences, as to destroy
all confidence in the credit of the gov
ernment or any of its securities in the
foreign markets, which has been at
tended with great embarrassment to ev-
cry public enterprise depending upon
foreign capital. Under these adverse
circumstances our luck has been greater
than our deserts.
New YORK, Sept. 15.-The following
special was published this morning:
"GENEvA, Sept. IA The decision of
the Alabama claims by the arbitration
of the Tribunal In award and settlement
in the case between Great Britain and
the United States was delivered to-day
in the Council room of this city. 1t be-
gins with q recital in formal language
of the terms of the Treaty Of Washing
ton, recites the names and titles of the
arbitrators and agents appointed by
the arbritating Governments, sets forth
he facts of the assemblage of the Court
in Geneva. the exchange and veritication
of the powers of its members, and the
presentation of the English and Amer
ican causes by the agents and counsel,
Having concluded this legal and judi
cial preface the Courts decision Is con-
tinued verbatim as follows:
Here follows the findings of the Court
in the cases of the Alabama, Florida
and Shenandoah separately, and all the
other cases collectively, concluding as
ollows:
WHEREAS, it is just and Reasonable to
allow interest at a reasonable rate, and,
whereas, in accordance with the spirit

y Mrs. Dunaway says she "has
nothing to condemn in Corbett as a
Senator" but she opposes his re-elec-
ton solely because Mrs. Corbett is not
in favor of woman suffrage. She also
admits that Mrs. Corbett's "pivate char
acter is unexceptionable," but intimates
that she would prefer more woman's
rights and less woman's virtue.
Upon the same grounds, she ad.
mires Greeley for the purity of his
morals, and admits that Grant has spent
a greater portion of his life in drunk
eness and licentiousness, but she chooses
the latter to the former solely on poiiti-
cal grounds. The logical conclusion of
all of which is, that she is willing to ac-
cept the political enfrancLisement of
woman at the expense of private virtue
and public morals. The Grant papers
seem very willing to accept Mrs. Duna-
ways aid on the same conditions.

ANOTHER C. CONvENTIoN.-We learn from
Olympia that proposition is on foot
to hold Liberal Republican and Inde-
pendent mass Convention at that place
on the day on which the Democratic Ter
ritorial Convention is called. The OBJ
ject of this meeting is to save Judge Nc
Fadden from the damaging consequences
of an exclusive party nomination, to
which not less than ninety y-nine of every
hundred of his real friends are opposed.
If this meeting is held, we believe we
are safe in promising that King County
will be largely represented. We have not
found in our personal intercourse in
this county single Democrat or Liber-
al Republican who is in favor of main
tanning either of the old party organiza-
tions which experience has taught them
are merely the means or machinery by
which selfish and corrupt men have
secured their own private ends to the
great detriment of the public interests.
There could have been no object in a
party convention at the present time but
to perpetrate a system of party manage
ment which has been fraught with mani
fold evils to the country. But such a
convention having been determined up
on, there seems now to be no alternative
with any hope of success, but for the
people to go in as large force as is pacti-
cable to meet the politicians face to face,
to see that no party trickery or chicane-
ry be used to defraud them of their just
rights to q voice in the election. Unless
this is done, honest men may as well
abandon the contest. In strictly party
contest the Democracy of Washington
Territory are in hopeless minority, as
all sensible men are aware; and as be-
tween the two factions, one supporting
Garfielde under the lead of Beach and
Ferry, and the other clamoring for the
of party organization un-
der the lead Of Newell, what disinter-
ested man cares fig which wins; both
are influenced alike by selfish consider
division of the spoils, and
look only to party organization as
means to personal ends. We hope the
mass meeting will be held.

ADDRESS TO THE COURT,

GENEvA, Sept 15.-At the close of the
proceedings of the Board of Arbitration
yesterday Count Sclopis read an address
congratulating his colleagues on the
good relations preserved between them
throughout the sessions of the Board,
and thanking them for the impartial
support they had given him in the dis
charge of his duties. He also thanked
the Swiss authorities, both national and
municipal, for courtesies extended to the
members of the Court of Arbitration and
other gentlemen connected with the
Court. The members then exchanged
farewells and separated.

MIR. EDIToR:-Is any thing going to
be done about it ? Is there such an in
stitution as Court of Justice, or
Prosecuting Attorney, or Sheriff, to be
found in the City of Seattle, or in the
County of King. or in the Territory of
Washington ? How long are people
claiming degree of responsibility to
countenance the thing? Is not every
dollar coined from its infamy, a dollar
invested by the devil himself ? Only
last week, twenty five of the pitable
bedizzened harlots trooped down to the
North Pacific at midday, and ranged
themselves in full view of passengers
tourists rangers-emigrants seeking
homes They go every day; they
crowd our streets and jostle our wives
and daughters from the walks. How
ever, they bring no inconsiderable profit
to steamers as they traverse the Sound,
carrying pollution and death to every
port. They support merchants and sa-
looms, lawyers and preachers, newspa-
pers and directories, but more especial
ly doctors ! People standing on the
decks of steamers ask, who are these ?
What Where DO they live There

heart of your city Yes. The matu-
tinal bell which calls the faithful to

zens Of the foulest den in the land; and
on Sunday eve. the sweet tones OF :" An

very BELLS throat by the discordant ioar

drunken white men and degraded squaws

tasteful cottages between. Yes. 1t does

1t supports newspaper; it Haunts its
card in business directories it is a.pow-
er, this thing is. It elects Sheritfs and
Prosecuting Attorneys, Members of Con-
gress and City Councils. 1t is licensed.
Licensed What for ? To sell liquor.
But how can that be, when your law re-
ouires petition or recommendation
from majority of citizens to authorize
a license to be given ? Surely major
ity of the people of Seattle would not
sign such a paper
Excuse me, 1 don't like to talk OF
these things. Do you see that grand
stretch of mountains over against the
west, and this matchless bay with its
daily pulsations, sending purifying
stream from the great ocean up into the
yery heart of the land ? Do you see
those evergreen shores, and way over
wonder that Titanic mountain lifting its
head in crystal white, looking down in
conscious pride upon plain and hill, for
est and bay By and by men will come,
and no need even to throttle the mon
ster; but the thing will stink away into
death, and every dollar boarded from its
hellish mission will burn into its pos
sessor's soul like drops of molten lead.

In the meantime the mountain will sen
tinel the opening and closing day, will
keep watch and ward over the fair valley
and lovely bay, preserving all for the
better time coming: and such of us as
do good will find our reward in the very
doing, and the evil will have met their
punishment. The unholy dollar will
have proved curse-the faithless pub
lie officer will have been dismissed from
the place he prostituted- -matin and
vesper will peal in joyous tones over
newborn city, purified and redeemed
from crime compared with which, that
of the destroyed cities of the bible. was
venial indeed. Stranger! if you can wait
till then, we shall be glad to have you
come and live with us. il. B.
Mr.. EDITOR Il had been a Democrat
for over 80 years. and stood by the par
ty in all its windings up to its final dis
solution. When the Convention at Olym-
pia placed itself squarely upon the Gin
cinnati platform, and had nominated a
respectable and capable citizen for Con-
gress, l had believed that something
like sense was being developed in this
unfortunate province, and that there
was hope of substantial reform and tan
gible progress. But it seems was mis-
taken. Is it possible the person who
happens to be Chairman of committee
of a defunct party does not know the
fact that both the party and himself are
defunct :? Is it possible he cannot see
that so-called Democratic nomination
at this late day of Judge McFadden or
any other man, is the one thing needed
to insure his overwhelming defeat ? If
he cannot see it, every one else can
Now it is true that good men everywhere
in the Territory desire change in the
Delegate to Congress--most of them
desiring Judge McFadden to be the man
through whom the change is to be made.
There is but one way to repair the blum
der of this call for Democratic Con-
vention There is but one way to dis
embarass Judge McFadden and give him
his proper show for success Let the
Convention, when it meets recognize
the fact distinctly that the Democratic
party no longer exists. That it went
out with Vallandingham, Blatant Dun
can and Brick Pomeroy. That new
party is being evolved from the diverse
elements of the past which though it
may not be successful in its national
campaign, is certainly strong enough to
elect a competent and respectable man
to Congress. Let the Convention recog
nize, if it chooses, Judge McFadden as
an independent candidate for Congress
that's all. Then indite feeling epitaph
upon the brave old party that has
passed to its Fathers, and adjourn
without day leaving the task of selecting
q Committee and a Chairman to the
clearer heads and warmer hearts that
are to regulate things hereafter.

SNooUAL1M1E RoAD.-Mr. Flickinger,
who has just returned from Walla Walla,
by way of Snoqualimie, informs us that
five wagon loads of emigrants from Iowa
are now on their way by that route to
the Sound. He also says that the road
for fifteen miles, near the sumit, is in
bad condition, and that store-keepers
and farmers residing in Kititas valley
are anxious that it should be put in bet
ter condition, so as to enable them to
open trade with onr Seattle merchants.
At present freights cost them SS5 a ton
from Portland by way of Umatilla. If
the snoqualimie road was in good re-
pair all their trade would turn here, as
it would not cost to exceed $50 ton ac-
cross the mountains.

WHEN a man has been q successful
politician for forty years, and has filed
the highest place in the gift Of the ma
ton, it would seem that at the mature
age of sixty or sixty-fve he might retire
in a digniGed manner and rest upon his
laurels. But Andrew johnson seems
to think that he must return to the al
dermsnic council at Granville by the
same road he travelled to the White
House. First he ran for the Uni
ted States Senate, then for Con-
gress, aud next 10 order will be the Leg
islature. Then he can finish of the
trip BY short cut, and quit where he
began. If il be true that the old-time
politicians are no longer needed to man
age public affairs, he is certainly one Of
the class that can be spared. His only
power now IS to destroy, not to build
up. Like Samson, who bowed himself
against the pillars under the temple Of
the Philistines until it fell and all within
{ were destroyed, he 6nds in the clos
ing drama Of bis political life that he is
buried deepest among the ruins he
wrought, where naught but the trump
Of the resurrection can call him forth.
