sgnuch as the whole legal grOand upon
which the tribunal stands is a comparatively
unexplored regiOn-the exact character and
power of the arbitrstOrs not being we'll de-
fined and the scope and limit Of their power
being undetermined.
1t was Judged wise to accept this PROPOSE
ton, and Monday was fixed as the day up
on which the court would hear and the
counsel present, in the light Of the latest
advices from the two governments, their ar
guments upon the point presented by the
English agent.
It becomes apparent that neither govern
ment has thought it safe 10 trust the case
altogether 10 the agents here, but each
keeps up such constant communication by
telegraph that, in fact the real agent for
England is Earl Granville, and for America
Secretary Fish.

thus keep their agents III tutelage, when we
contemplate the mOnstrOus absurdity that
neither case is in the hands of the great
LAWYERS that are here On both sides, but in

If the English insist that they are prop
erly in court, an important consequence
will follow, for, if they are in court, they
are bound TO recognize the validity Of iudg-
ments, no matter on what point.
Possibly, therefore, they would find them
selves involved in a position from which
they can not escape without fragrant disre-
gard 10 diplomatic propriety, and the re-
Bpect due to the tribunal.
The proceedings on Monday will, how
ever, depend entirely on the latest dis !
patches from Earl Granville and Secretary |
Fish.
