Against hear

A correspondent of the Times writing
from Binghampton, New York, July 23d
says:
The Repltblicdn reprints to-day the 7rj-
buae's authorized statement concerning
Mr.. Greeley's alleged part in the negotia-
ton with the Democrats for the Presiden-
tial nomination and replies. with anaIy-
sis, that no assertion it has made is contra
dicted by the Tribune, but that the whole
is substantially admitted. 1t repeats with
greater emphasis its statements of Mr..
Carmichael, of Unadilla, whom it has heard
from to-day, and pronounced him not only
the originator, by Seymour's help of Gree
ley at Cincinnati, but the author of the
tariff plank of the plantform that was
adopted. It reaffirms its statement that
Mr.. Greeley expressed himself by letter in
favor of paying pensions to disabled Con-
federate soldiers, and declares that Mr..
Greeley invited Mr.. Carmichael by letter,
to come to New York to talk over political
issues. That Mr.. Greeley then consented
to be Democratic candidate for President,
provided Mr.. Seymour and the Democratic
leaders would support him.
It reasserts that Mr.. Greeley proposed by
letter that Democrat should go to Cincin-
natl in his interest, and said also in letter
that it was not yet time to get up the pro-
posed meeting in Otsego for him, 1t reaf
firms its assertions of correspondence be-
tween Seymour and Hutchins, and propos-
es to give such other and further vertical
tons as may be required to set the ques-
ton at rest 1t re-publishes prominently
the narrative, certified statements, synop-
sis of letters and the affidavits, with an ex-
PLANTATION of the manner i'm which the
State of New York was carried by the
Democrats for Greeley in the Cincinnati
and Baltimore Conventions.
The Republican mentions the fact that a
dispatch, forwarded by it as a member of
the Associated Press, failed to appear in
the State journals for which it was intend
ed, which dispatch related to the nature of
the disclosures. A telegram of to-day pur-

English law on the questions regarding the con-
struction Of privateering vessels in British ports,
and also of the investigation as to whether the
British Admiralty used sufficient diligence in
preventing these vessels from going to sea. Ofthe
four cases advanced England repudiates three,
and in the fourth she contends the Admiralty
acted promptly, although the police refused to
take the proper steps to prevent her departure.
The Court is also considering the question of
allowing interest on the amount awarded.
1t is stated that the majority of the Board are
unfavorabe to such an allowance. 1t is regard
ed as probable, that after careful investigation
of.each case, the Tribunal will fix the amount
of indemnity to be paid by England at a gross
