THE GENEVA ARBITRATION.

The official correspondence which
has passed between the British Gov
eminent and Lord Tenterden, its
agent before the Geneva Tribunal
of Arbitration, is published. 1t
comprises twelve dispatches, besides
the protocols of proceedings before
the Board, which have already been
made known to the public. The
correspondence closes with a dis
patch from Earl Granville, express
i've of the appreciation Offices oil
Lord Tenterden and Sir ROUNDED
Palmer. Earl Granville says: I
should not do justice to the feeling
of Her Majesty's Government if 1
did not acknowledge the concilia-
tory spirit manifested by your
American Colleagues. The good
feeling shown on both sides has ia
cilitated the deliberations Of the
arbitrators.
Earl Granville, in conclusion ac-
knowledges the thoughtfulness and
wisdom evinced by the arbitrators
in adopting the conclusions to
which they have spontaneously ar
rived.

CONSUMPTION OF TEA.

In JS71, the consumption Of tea
in the United States, per capita,
was one and twelve one hundreths
pounds. The consumption thus
far this year is but one-fifth of a
pound year greater than the aver
age of the past twenty-five years,
and actually less than the consump-
ton Of 1850. On the other hand,
coffee showed steady gain from
1850 to the beginning of the war,
continued at a low average until
1866, and has since rapidly increas
ed to the same point it had attain
ed previous to 1860. The i'm porta
tion of sugar dropped suddenly
during the war, but has since in
creased to point higher than ever
before, the consumption in 1871 be-
ing almost fifteen hundred million
pounds. sm r t4f

Richmond, Virginia, celebrated
the Fourth of July this year, being

good sign, and speaks well for the

tai, who now appear willing to let
bygones be bygones.

gone, but they talk of cutting
the cellar up into small holes for
campaign purposes. They would
also serve for Democratic hiding
places after the election. aes

FOR THE PHILOSOPHER,

In the whole State of New York
there are only four Republican jour
mails that advocate the Chappaqua
philosophers pretensions TO the
Presidency. One of the four is the
philosophers own paper. In Penn
sylvania there are only five Demo
cratic journals that advocate Gree
ley, and not one Republican paper.
In Michigan there are only four out
of thirty-two Democratic journals
that swallow Greeleyism, and per-
haps one or two obscure Republican
concerns. And this is the Republi-
can whose candidacy was to split the
Republican party in twain, and beat

FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

Now that the Campaign is fully
opened, and promises to be an ex-

keep posted in all matters pertain
ing TO the interest of the country.
There is no better way to do this
than to take your county paper.
There is no other agent so powerful,
as an educator or political moni-
tor as the well regulated paper.
For Seventy-fve cents we will send
the REPUBLICAN to any address from
now until after the Presidential
election. To get the full benefit OF
this offer, send in your names and
money soon. ''.-sIl1

CONE TO NAUGHI.

A shrewd scheme of the Missouri
Democracy has lately come to
naught. That state is entitled to
four more than its present number
of Congressman, and the State be-
ing likely to go Democratic, they
refused to redistrict it, expecting to
elect them all on a general ticket.
The Legislature had adjourned,
when it was ascertained that under
the State law there was no provision
for electing the four additional cleo
tors to which the State was entitled.
The Governor called the Legislature
together to remedy this, when the
Senate, which is Republican, refused
to transact any other business until
the state had been redistricted for
Congressman, and they have main
tanned their position so well that
the Democrats most unwillingly as
sent, and the Republicans will prob
ably get at least two more Con ngress-
men by the change.

HARD PUSHED FOR ARGUMENTS.

How hard pushed the opposition
really is for arguments against the
administration is shown in the fact
that, with few honorable excep-
tions, the coalition journals insist
that the country has been humilia-
ted and disgraced beyond measure
by its acceptance of the decision of
the Geneva tribunal of the question
of indirect damages. This feeble
malignancy will not, however, find
any encouragement from the people.
The result is certainly as much a
triumph for this country as for Eng
land. The position of the United
States Government was maintained
throughout. The Board considered
and decided the question of indirect
damages, and the settling of the
principle involved was exactly that
which we desired.ti There is also
additional cause for satisfaction in
both Great Britain and this country,
an the fact that the controversy has
been amicably set at rest in a man
ner honorable to both countries, and
that the arbitration, from which the
world as well as the people of the
countries interested have expected
so much, is in progress,a ,and is likely
to lead to such benefcent results.

WONDERS OF CHICAGO.

1t is one of the wonders of the
Chicago calamity that property has
advanced from ten to fifty per cent.
since the fire. Some business men
who lost fine brown stone front
houses now say that they are more
than compensated by the increased
value of the ground. And not only
this, but the new buildings every
where erected are more.elegant and
substantial than the old, and the
new Chicago will exceed in gran
deur the city that was devoured by
fire.

A LUNATlC'S BITE AND THE CON-
47' SEQUENCES.

The disputed question as to
whether the bite of human teeth is
ever poisonous. would seem to be
settled in the affirmative by a case
which recently occurred at the Sche-
nectady, New York, poor-house.
About three months ago an inmate
was bitten in the hand by a maniac
confined there, and although no bad
symptoms exhibited themselves at
first, the wound did not heal up rap
idly, and in a short time the hand
began to swell, evidences of poison
becoming manifest. After suffering
intense pain for nearly three months
with the disease, which gradually
extended up the arm, it was at last
decided to perform an amputation,
which was done few days ago, and
the patient is now in a fair way OF
recovery,

NOT VERY HAPPY.

say that Mr.. Greeley's little speech

"was not very happy-or else it is

made to an assemblage of report

would be badly reported? The man

editorials, should have kept closer

his utterances. .s-...-

LET THE SoLEIERS READ THIS.

From the Ohio State Journal.
1t scenes that time does not di-
minish Democratic hatred of the
boys lately in blue. One page OF
the Ohio Statesman was nearly filled
the other day with shameful abuse
of the Supreme Court Of Ohio for
deciding that the veterans of the
Home near Dayton are citizens of
Ohio and consequently entitled to
vote. Now comes the Cleveland
Plaindealer with the highly honor
able assertion that by this decision
Judge Welsh ''paid his price for a
denomination" All that we have
to say in the premises is, that the
justness of the case is its own abund-
antly able defense, and the Demo
cratic party are welcome to all the
political thunder" they can by any
process squeeze out of it.
