TALK FROM ENG-
'N s ''s' - - LAND.

London dispatches report quite an
excited feeling among the English
leaders and papers concerning the
new treaty and arbitration. Chief
Justice Cockburn has officially coun-
seled tho Cabinet, that England must
reeede Immediately from the treaty Of
Washington leaving America to de-
eide between . new treaty or var.
10 the Queens speech At the opening
Of Parliament on Tuesday ths follow.
ing reference Was made 70 the subject {:
'cThe arbitrators appointed pursuant to
the treaty Of Washington, for the pur-
pose Of .micably settling the Alab.m.
claims, have held their first meeting in
Geneva, and tho oases were laid before
the arbitrators on behalf of each party
20 the treaty. In tho case submitted
by the United States, large claims ar
included which are understood, on my
part, net to be within the province Of
the arbitrators. On this subject 1
have caused a friendly communication
to be made to the government of the
United States"
The London Times says: cit is with
the utmost reluctance thet we contem-
plate the possibility that the reference
Of this question to an arbitration court
will amount to nothing; that there will
remain nothing OF the expectation thus
raised of successful issue to the case. A
satisfactory answer from Washington ex-
Guiding the American claim for indirect
damages cannot be anticipated. The
misunderstanding which will thus be
definitely established between tho Uni.
ted States and England can have no
sequel but the abandonment Of refer.
ence for arbitration."
A special Washington dispatch says
that advices from Minister Schenck
confirm the statement that the attacks
on the treaty Of Washington are insti-
gated by Gladstone government to off,
set tho attacks of Tories, to the effect
that England was overreached in tho
Alabama negotiations. Another view
indicated by Schenok is that the Eng.
lish furry is al gotten up to prejudice
the arbitrators against the American
case. There have been rumors infcir-
culation in Washington that the Eng-
lish press has been made a vehicle for
a stock k-jobbing enterprise. Secretary
Boutwell, says the whole thing is job.
The President stated yesterday that the
demand Of the English government that
the Confederate loan be considered as
. proper claim conflicts with the Con-
stitution of tho United States. The
which the President had
heard would b: acceptable to England,
to withdraw the claim for consequent
tial damages, was one which had been
submitted to the Joint High Conmis-
sion, at which time the American gov-
ern ment indicated its willingness to ao-
cept gross sum ia lieu Of such de-
mauds, but the proposition was rejected.

THE CIyCINNATT CONVENTION.


We make no comments on the ticket pre-
sented yesterday at Cincinnati The People,
without distinction os party, are considering
it, and will in due time indicate their judg-
ment thereon.
The Platform has been to us throughout an
object of much greater solcitude than the
nominations, and our interest has centered in
what should be said bearing on Protection aud
Free Trade.
There is an honest and serious difference
among Republicans and Reformers on this
question. Our convictions are strong on one
side others, at least equally patriotic and in
telligent, hold opinions antagonistic to ours.
We did not wish the Convention TO say that
we were right; we did not see with
what propriety, to what profit, it could
pronounce us in the wrong To declare
for either Protection or Free Trade would re-
pei some-perhaps many--frOm the support OF
the Liberal movement, while it would win
over no opponent to that movement. we,
therefore, urged the Convention simply to re-
NIT this question to the People as one on
which we are not agreed. asking them to pro-
