FOREST FIREs-Extensive fires have
been raging and are still in progress in
the forests of Eastern New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania Thousands Of
acres have been burned over. In the
nighttime the mountains along the
Hudson river, as seen from the steamers
and cars, present the appearance Of
great masses Of dame miles in extent
In the woods Of Minnesota and Michigan
fires are also raging While in New
England, where there has been scarcely
any rain for year, the country is liter
ally drying up, in other regions it is be-
ginning to burn up. The need of rain is
generally felt all over the country

DAN VOORHEES, has raised the very
"ancient gentleman that llmps among
the Democrats in Congress by making n
tearing speech against Horace Greeley.
He ad, 0eated secession, said the Indiana
screamer, and then proposed to annihl.
late the Southern people for doing just
what he had advised them TO do. Gree,
ley was a rank protectiouist, and as such
very Objectionable to Democrats, His
course daring the war was especially
yaccilating. llo had advocated even
military supervision of elections in New
York and had as a journalist encouraged
Congress to pass kuklua laws which
Grant had merely executed His bailing
of Davis was IA piece Of medalesome i'm
pertinence. Gen, Grant had paroled Lee
and Others and refused to violate mill
tary bonor by rearrcsting them as Gree
ley adv hed Mn Voorhees, plainly in
dicated that he would support the Presi-
dent in preference to the nominee of the
Cincinnati Convention. When certain
Democratic members limited that he had
communication with the White Hoase,
he repealed the insuuation with great
Indignation. This is . strong additional
indication that there Is o greater and
more dangerous division in the Demo-
cratic than in she Republican camp. II
takes something more than the spirit of
personal revenge to hold together par
ty during presidential campaign. = HI.

GENERALIZATION.

, Great stress is laid by the Democratic
demagogues and Republican malcontent,
on "the tendency toward Capitalization
aud consequent despotism." BY many
this is improperly understood as being
merely campaign catchword, but closer
scrutiny shows it to be the old state /.
rights doctrine" out Of which grew sues
cession, rebellion, war; and on which
human slavery stood and thriyed. The
Chicago Journal has views on this ques-
ton which suit US. Here they are
That Capitalization is despotism, is
the stock assumption Of those who protest
against it, and always has been, 1t is,
however, utterly without foundation.
Surprising there were no State govern
ments at all, and all authority were
lodged in the General Government, ex-
cept such as the former held at the will
Of the latter, as counties and cities now
hold authority subject to the behest of
the State Even in that case there would
be nothing monarchial in our institutions
nor any abridgment of popular soyer-
eighty. 1t would still be Governme mt
of the people Then, too, every step
taken toward Capitalization has been in
the direction of larger liberty and more
equal justice. This is an incontestable
fact Is it sensible to be afraid of tree
that has always borne good fruit? At
the present time the Capitalization de-
mand is wholly conservative To simply
maintain the positions already taken viii
be enough. But before many years an
other forward movement will be taken
The railroads Of the country are now
amenable only to State legislation. They
are, with few exceptions, the creatures
Of State laws, and nearly every state is
trying to set limits to their exorbitance
This effort has never succeeded and never
can. After while the people will be
convinced of the necessity Of transferring
the contest from State Capitals to Wash
ington, and then Congress will be asked
to exercise its now latent power to create
and regulate post roads No one can tell
how long it will be before that issue will
come up, but come it will, and when it
does come it viii be of great Importance
to have in the Presidential chair n man
who would cspouse the cause of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Greeley is not only the candi-
date of the decentralization party, but
his intimacy with Tom. Scott the great
railway despot Of the country, shows
which way his sympathies lean, State
rights was the legal prop of slavery and
railway tyranny relies upon it Tor sup
port in its approaching irrepressible con
tict with the people.

THE President has sent the Alabama
corresp ondence to the Senate. 1t now
appears that the British Government has
slgntied its willingness to negotiate a
supplementary treaty disposing Of the
principle of consequential damages in
accordance with the views of President
Grant and Secretary Fish e., u neu-
trail power shah not be liable to n bel.
lgerent one for any but direct and spe-
cic injuries OF course our Govern
ment is expected to abandon its claim
for damages under n principle that it
wishes to settle in the negative After
the vexed question Of consequential dams
ages is disposed Of by this supplementary
treaty, then there will be no further in>
corruption to the proceedings before the
Geneva Court of Arbitration under the
Treaty Of Washington. 1t seems to us
that our Government would do well to
concede n mere point of form, matter
of pure punctilio, to the British Ministry,
especially when the proposition embrace
es the substance of what the American
nation desires, and thus close up IN an
amicable way business that mas already
become wearisome and might end in
dangerous irritation. If our British
cousins find any comfort to thsir pgide
by conceding the spirit in order to save
the letter of the treaty as construed by
themselves, we advise the Government
to let them be gratifed They have been
worsted in diplomatic contest and their
pride has been good deal wounded.
We can afford to conce4e point Of ETH
quote.

principal argument of the supporters OF

able nomination Of General Grant at

of political wire pullers, without regard

be untrue, and will give our reasons for
that belief:

pute; that on examination defendant

Opinion OF the Attorney General.
Attorney General Williams has given
an adverse opinion on the claim OF c.
A. Perry & Co., for cattle wagons
and other property lost or destroyed in
accompanying the marches of the mill
itary forces agaiust the Mormons in
1857, which disposes Of large number
of similar cases. 1t appears from the
evidence that Perry & Co. owned one Of
the any supply trains which went with
the army, and that when General John
sons forces were obliged to return to
the outposts, by the severity OF the win
ter, many Of the cattle and wagons
were lost. The Attorney General, in his
opinion, saws that the claim does not
come within the provisions Of
the law authorizing payment for
horses and other property lost or de.
stroyed when in the military service Of
the United States, either by impress
ment or contract, and that constituting
the words OF the statute legally it may
be said they do not apply to every inter

Of property by such authority neces
sarily give the owners claims for it.

Sabbath School Union met to-day,
about three hundred delegates being
present.
The Convention was called to order
by President Talbot, OF Dennison.
Mr.. J. II. Oliver, of this city, made
the address Of welcome.
A committee to report permanent
officers was appointed. During the re-
tirement Of the committee the time WAS
spent in praying and singing.
The Committee on Nominations pre-
sented the following report Of nomi-
nations Tor offices For President, DR..
J. NJ. Curry, of Virginia; for Vice
Presidents, H. 7. Miller, of Cincinnati,
Clement Leach, o. Illinois; Secretaries,
George Van Dulip, of New York, G.
Syreck, District OF Columbia. These
officers were elected by the adoption OF
the above report, without the formalty
of a ballot.
DR.. Curry expressed his appreciation
OF the honor conferred upon Vim. He
said it was now time for u "new depar-
ture" in Christianity, revelation was
complete, forms and ordinances perma-
nent, fuller conservation and greater de-
vo,ion to the wise work were needed.
DR.. Curry delivered an address on
"Bible knowledge Essential to the
Stability OF Free Institutions and the

DR.. Curry said the Bible was the best
catholicon in the world 1T was the best
preventive Of crime and the best ln-
surance on property In the world, NC.
Following this address DR.. kendrick,
of Illinois, delivered short discourse
on the duty OF churches, with reference
TO B BILE instruction in destitute regions
He said that even in great cities the
distance between the masses OF the peo
ple and the churches was constantly
growing greater, because the churches
and the masses were losing sympathy
for each other. The masses teel no
need OF the o-pel. They are entrenched
behinl the works of ign"rance and Ro
manism. The American Nilsson Sabbath
S.nool should be regarded as the great
instrumentalty for evangelizing the
masses. The work OF a church IN a
