Tho British Press ON the Alabama
Claims Decision.


Claims Decision.
The tory or opposition press Of England will
not be pacifed by the decision of the Geneva
arbitrators on the Alabama claims. 1t may be
seen by the telegram we published yesterday
that these intensely British organs, which op-
pose the existing government, denounce in
the strongest terms the award to the United
States of the insignificant sum of three million
two hundred and fifty thousand pounds ster-
ling, or thereabouts. One journal blurts out
its implacable national spite and hatred by
saying that "England has been adjudged to
pay tribute to bully who repudiates his own
obligations;" another by stating that "the
breach between the two countries has only
been widened, and that if the arbitrators had
awarded nothing America (meaning the
United States) could but show her teeth;" and
another asserts that "England went to Geneva
for justice and reconciliation, but instead met
with invectives from the American counsel and
q partially adverse award, dictated rather by
desire for compromise than by equity" and,
in short that the whole proceedings in con-
nection with the arbitration are entirely un-
satisfactory to England"
Such are the opinions of the British oppo-
sition press of this Geneva settlement. But
would any decision have satisfied Her Ma
jestys opposition No. They are out of
power. The Geneva settlement is not their
work. Good or bad for England, it is the
work Of the party in power, and Her Majesty
opposition, for their party purposes, are bound
to make the settlement as distasteful as pos
sible to the British people. That Is oil there
is in these fierce onslaughts of the British tory
press upon what they call this Humiliation"
of England. There is no such humiliation.
On the contrary, England has been very fortu-
nate in this settlement. On those indirect or
consequential damages Senator Summers origi-
nal and startling exposition Of Englands La
bilities was accepted as a fair statement of our
case and had General Grant adopted the al
tentative of adhering to this case to the ex-
tremity of quashing the whole treaty he could
have commanded the support Of the Ameri-
can people, But he preferred peace, and SO
earnestly desired peace with England that he
made concessions in regard to the Geneva Tri-
bunal which really involved humiliation of
our government. And the best that we can
say Of this settlement is that on the part Of
Mr.. Secretary Fish and his agent, Mr.. Ban
croft Davis, and his learned gentlemen in the
law at Geneva is that it has been ''much ado
about nothing

The Soldiers at PittsburC.

The SCARED veterans of the late war
assembled in force OF Pittsburg to shake hands
with old comrades and renew the memories of
the struggle for the nations preservation, on
the anniversary Of the bloody contest Of
Antietam. Pennsylvania Birmingham
saluted the heroes with her most generous
hospitality. Her citizens babe them hearty
welcome to the city Of smoke, while her
danes and maidens chanted anthems of free
dom in their honor. Flags and gay streamers
foated over them and floral offerings beautified
the Opera House in which they gathered.
Governor Geary and General Sweetzer de-
livered orations of greeting, and everything
conspired to make the occasion one Of JOY and
satisfaction. General Burnside, Of Rhode
Island; General Hawley, Of Connecticut. and
General Logan, of Illinois, we're among the
most prominent of the speakers who adj
dressed the Convention. They and all who
spoke alluded in terms of enthusiastic satisfac-
ton to the civil record of President Grant.
which they pronounced to be fully as glorious as
his triumph over the armed enemies of the
Union. In the speeches and resolutions were
conciliating towards their late adversaries and
the sentiment that the "bloody chasm'' OF
strife was effectively closed by the magnanim-
ity of General Grant on the field of Appo-
mattox. They greet as brothers and loyal
Americans all who honestly accept the results
Of the war, and point to the peaceful progress
of the nation during the last four years as tho
proof and pledge of the capacity, honesty and
patriotism of the present administration and
the republican party to conduct the nation
successfully through the perils Of reconstruc-
ton, as it did through the trials of the war.
General Hartranft, the republican nominee
for Governor of Pennsylvania, was heartily
endorsed Entire unanimity prevailed. and
the members after happy reunion separated
yesterday with the firm resolution to go home
aud re-elect to the Presidency their old Com
mander-in-Chief, who conquered the rebel.

proclaimed as the supporter of Grant and Dix,
and on the other this is denied-it being
admitted, however, that as between Grant and
OBrien gordian knot presents itself, which
can only be undone by Bezonian himself
declaring under which king he goes into the
conflict ON the State ticket-whether he is for
Dix or Herman.
Other chief refOrmers are also in the field as
candidates for the same prize, and who are
laboring under somewhat similar but not 60
great difficulties as O'Brien. William A.
Havemeyer, chief of the Reform Council of
Seventy, is hankering after the city feshpots
In this pursuit he is as eager as any poor
ofice-hunter could be- Through him and
Andrew H. Green, another city reformer
already provided for with fat Office and now
candidate for Mayor. is reflected in most un-
favorable light the purity of the motives which
induced them and others of their stripe to
seize the chance which brought them from
their political obscurity and on the tide of re-
form riding to place and power at the expense
of the people. The citizens difficulty was
their opportunity. and they have made the
most of it.
The complications arising from this state of
things are becoming every day more apparent
to the citizens, and moro and more impress
them with the fact that they are completely at
the mercy of the politicians of the hour. In
most cases. when once the seat of a disease is
ascertained, the remedy is within the power of
medical science. So in the body polite, though
the evil at work may for q time be hidden or
be kept concealed, it will surely show itself in
time for eradication and cure The reform
movement exposed the corruptions and frauds
that existed in the city government; but the
reformers have not honestly, as they assumed
to do, set about cleaning the Augean stable.
That is still the work of the people, through
honest municipal and legislative representa-
ton. The chaos into which things political
have been cast by partisan and selfish leaders
will assuredly be soon dispeled. 1t cannot
continue and no doubt before the week has
passed leader will present himself who will
restore confidence to the citizens, and under
whom, as their candidate for the Chief Magis-
tracy, they may take a new departure in the
charter election of 1872

Custom HOUSE REFORM AND WAR HoRRoRs
N CupA.--From Havana, under date of the
10th instant, comes news of the efforts which
are being made by the new Intendente to
purge the Custom House of Cuba of dishonest
officials, and secure a more efficient collection
OF the import trade duties. He expects that
by an adherence to this course he will increase
the Spanish revenue from the island from five
to six millions yearly. Two surgeons--one
American, the other German-were captured
by the commander Of the Matanzas battalion
when on duty in an insurgent hospital in a
mountain district. They were Immediately
executed-a fresh proof of Spanish ferocity
when excited by the clash Of war and stimu-
lated by the passion which frequently results
from baffled power.

Bound FOR A LAND OF EQUALITY. Eight
hundred and eighty French Communists, con-
victed of various outrages against life and
property, were embarked at Brest yesterday in
penal deportation to the convict settlement in
New Caledonia. Captain Cook found the
island inhabited by population of the
Papuan negro race when he discovered it,
in 1774 If any of their descendants remain
they will, no doubt, fraternize agreeably with
the would-be reformers of society and public
morals in exile from France.

and the standard Of morality in Wall street
harden their consciences and give them diff
ferent character in business from that which
they have elsewhere.
Tho evil is growing yearly, and has been
greatly augmented by the war. II has assumed
a national importance and affects the whole
community. Black Friday and Fisks opera
tions then were but phases of this general de-
moralization. The events in Wall street within
the last day or two were only a recurrence of
the gambling in the stock and money mar
kets on that and other occasions The
consequences are always the same Business
suffers; everything is unsettled for time; a
ruinous rate of interest demoralizes exchange
and prevents exports A bale of cotton could
not be sold during the height of the present
financial disturbance. just as the Fall trade
was opening in the most promising manner
everything received check. Values to the
amount Of hundreds of millions are affected
through the cunning and unscrupulous man
agement of six or seven millions in the hands
of Wall street clique of three or four men.

with the most vital interests Of the country
ought to be and can be suppressed. The
officers Of the law may not, in certain locali-
ties, be vigilant enough in breaking up faro
banks or other similar establishments, on
account of certain local influences and be-
cause the victims are limited and voluntary;
but the whole mercantile and business COM
munity would be interested in restraining the
gold and stock gamblers if there were O law
for that purpose.
1t is well to remark here that much depends
upon the standard of morality in this respect
fixed by the government primarily and by the
public secondarily. A few years ago gambling
in Washington, but the government suppressed
them, and the federal capital has undergone
healthy change In such countries as some of
the South American Republics, where gambling
is allowed and fashionable, the priests even en-
gage in it publicly. Such a spectacle would
not be tolerated in the United States All de-
pends upon the standard of morality estab-
lished by government and consequently ad-
mitteafby the public. Our Wall street men
deem it Legitimate to plunder each other and
the merchants, to victimize the people and to
paralyze trade for the purpose of gain. Men
who claim to be pious and are pillars of our
churches will deliberately plot to deceive
the ignorant and to overreach the un-
wary in order to make money. The
jolly fellows of the stock and gold
boards and on the curbstones of Wall and
Broad streets will misrepresent and cheat as
readily as the gamester with loaded dice, and
then go home contented that they have only
been trading in the recognized way. The same
men may pay all their bills punctually, have
sort of pride in being considered honorable,
aud never fail to pay their pew rents or SUBJ
scrptions to their preacher, but are demoral-
lied when dealing in stocks or gold. Custom
