Charge of Form--No Change of Spirit

The blockade runners. during the
war. used t" approach our shores with
the national flag hoistcd. hoping To dis
arm suspicion, till il was too late tupre-
vent ingress. just So now the old I'M
changed Democracy have calculated
that their only chance of sailing into
power is under this white hat of Horace
Greeley. with which it is hoped To de
cei>e Republicans and attract new No-
ters. If the election were to follow i'm
mediatelN upon the adoption of such an
ingenious and, in politics. unprcceden-
ted device. the chances of its success
would he much better than they are
now, when several months will tamil-
iarize the people of the United States
with the true nature of this umprinci
pied artilice. In vain the Liberal ahrt-
tors of the scheme will exhaust their
gushing dictiom: in vain MIR. GIcclc>

it. Il have said nothing to ANY Demo
clat. unless be first addressed me-" in
vain the Democratic Conventions of
several States will praise themselves
for their generous selt->;tcIitice at this
important .juncture the truth will
come out i'll spite of every thing.
1t WAS but IL few days ago that the
Democracy of keutuckN -wlrre they

of their brethren while mdor>ing Mr..

reatfrming their devotion 10 the prin-
ciples they laid down in l-6I and l-6l.
And it was only Il night or two ago that
Montgomery Blair, in ii speech advoca-

The Indirect Claims Question Settled.

The announcement is made of the
final settlement of the question OF indi-
rect claims, by their withdrawal from
the consideration of the tribunal at
Geneva. The arbitratOrs, without nav

for indirect damages brought directly
before them, were yet so Tar oiilclallN

their introduction into the American
case and argument, and through the
protest filed 10y the English agent. as to
regard 1t lis not Inconsistent with their
duty to express an opinion us to their
admiSSibility. They agreed that such
claims must be rejected. as not being
contemplated by the Treaty of Wash
inuton. and this fact was made known to
the agents of England and the American
agent was instructed to Withdraw the
indirect claims, with the understanding.
however, that each of the arbitratorS
shall file written opinion on the qucS-
ton of their admiSSibility. This opin-
ION. we presume. will he in reality eX-
ira judicial. no actual verdict i'll rela-

and recorded in the court.
If the subject of indirect claims could
have been brought directly to issue he
fore the Geneva Court and settled 10y Il
formal Judgment adversely to our pres
cnt claims. the result would have been
satisfactory to us i'll every point of view.
We did not desire AN cXorhitant money

sire Il verdict that would have settled
for the future. as between ourselves and
England the limit of our responsibility

Good bye. John.

How hard it is to say COOL bye to
friends I'm affecting scene occurred a
few days since, at the depot nearest our
county boarding house, That verifes the
above saying. The time was approach
ing when John must leave The friends
commenced gathering at an early hour,
in and around the depot. As tho time
dragged heavily along, some were in
crowds, eagerly discussing the probabili-
ties Of the Governors pardouing power
being brought into rcquisitioD. Some
we're gay and festive. Those thought
less creatures How their laugh and
merriment grated on the friends ears on
so solemn an occasion and sad scene as
was about to be ushered in y Others
were smoking, cndeavoring this way to
beguile the time away. Others, still,
were just outside the main crowd, out
where the Maine Law was not in force.
So in one way and another they managed
to pass the time until the surging of the
crowd toward the platform told plainly
that the hero of the hour had come.
John was there. How eager to grasp
the hand No other hand would suffice.
They wanted to grasp the very hand that
but few months since was dripping with
the hearts blood of fellow man. The
very hand that must have grasped the
knife and plunged it into the bosom
of his fellow. They wanted a sweet good
bye from those lips, those very lips that

last opportunity to pay their respects to
one of their recently adopted citizens.
Who could blame them for feeling thus

So, after all the good byes and friendly

and the balance to be equally divided a.

CHICAGO, Feb. is.
A terrible accident occurred at Alison
Mills, near Sterling, Illinois, on Monday.
A large quantity of grain was stored in
the upper portion Of the mill, and high
wind caused the timber. on which the
grain rested, to give way and the entire
lot was prccipitated to the floor below,
Four persons were sitting by a stove
which was broken, setting the mill on
fire. Three of the persons escaped, but
DR.. VIM. X. Palmer was caught by the
timber 10 such manner as to fasten
him, with his head and neck exposed,
and the rest of his body was covered
with the wheat. In that position be
was literally roasted alive. Every pos.
sible effort was made to rescue him. The
mill was valuable and insured.
