A Piece of Treaty Informa ton.

The precise position in which the Treaty Of
life or death may not be thoroughly understood
by large number of people. 1t lies at present
on the operating table Of the Senate with that
body as consulting physicians around it.
The trouble is in its indirect damage limb,
which Surgeon Gladstone has declared to be
dangerous to its life, as, if permitted to re-
main any longer, it's modification would extend
to the whole body. DIR. Fish had commended
warmly and ably that the limb was sound, and
that if amputated it would kill the creature;
but the English surgeon has bullied him out
Of this opinion, and the question now is whether
the doctors of the Senate will decide to use
Gladstone's scalpel while the quack of the
State Department holds the limb and SO give
the miserable thing fresh lease of unsatisfac-
tory existence.
Passing from this illustration, we may more
directly say that the treaty came into full
working order on its ratification by the Senate
on the oath of May, 1871 that dispute arose
Us to whether or not the treaty covered the
claims known as indirect or consequential
damages, and that from the strongest assertion
in favor of the affirmative of this proposition
Secretary Fish receded so far as to agree to
supplemental article declaring they were not
by any means included in the treaty.
Fearful of the ratification of the 'back-
down." it was agreed to consult the
Senate on its propriety, and to that end Presi-
dent Grant, on the 18th inst, sent special
message to the Senate, asking formal express
sion Of opinion on the matter, and at the same
time enclosing the correspondence by letter
and cable between the two governments, the
whole to be kept and considered in secret.
Happily the HERALD, by publishing the entire
correspondence, was enabled to exhibit to the
people what the disgraceful surrender
exactly meant. The administration, in
combination with the English lobby,
had meanwhile set oil its engines

DIR. Houard's Citizenship and Trial.

In another part Of the HERALD we publish
an interesting interview with DIR. Houard,
which should set at rest the doubts in favor of
Spain which afilct the vision OF Secretary Fish
in his view of this case. If he means to
defend the miserable farce of trial which
condemned an American born citizen to the
penal settlements at Ceuta, as accord
ing to any code of law, the people
had better be aware OF IL. The convenient

The Discussion i'm the British Parlfa-
mcnt on the Washington Treaty.

mcnt the Washington Treaty.
We place before our readers this morning
full report of the discussion in both
Houses of the British Parliament
on the 18th inst relating to the
Washington Treaty Earl Granville and
Premier Gladstone made their explanations
and detailed the progress of the negotiations
with the United States for the settlement of
the Alabama claims difficulty. The determi-
nation and frmness Of England in the rejection
of the consideration of indirect claims in any
shape contrasts strongly with American hesita-
ton at present. AS stated time and time again,
the position assumed by the United States
until England showed her determination was
that the subject of indirect claims should go
before the Geneva arbitrators for adjudication.
England did not believe in any such view and
rather than submit to such course, was
ready to tear the Washington Treaty into
tatters. Washington statesmen, finding Eng
land determined, show disposition to back
down, seat the leek" and make peace at any
price

A British Peer and Ex-Premier on
the American Government.


the American Government.
In his speech in the British Parliament ON
the occasion of the Ministerial explanations in
relation to the treaty negotiations with our
government, Earl Russell said sit ought not to
be disguised that the case of the American
government was conceived in terms of the
most offensive character to the Ministers of
this country. No swindler, no pickpocket at
the Old Bailey could have been worse treated
than were the British Ministers by the Ameri-
car government.
The compliment paid to the American gov
eminent is worthy the waspish, disappointed
and embittered peer whose whole political life
has been a failure. We are left to infer what
must be the character of nation that can act
towards friendly Power with offensive nso-
lence and treat foreign government worse
than swindlers and pickpockets are
treated at the Old Bailey. However,
Secretary Fish and the American Senate are
preparing to make amends for our previous
bad conduct by acknowledging that we have
ourselves been playing the part of swindlers
and pickpockets by making unauthorized and
fraudulent claims against England, and by
humbly withdrawing them at British dictation.
Even Earl Russell must be satisfied with our
humiliation, and the noble ex-Premier of Eng
land will probably in his next bilious attack
upon America set lis down as sneaks and
towards, instead of DULLES and ruf1ans.

A GALLANT DEED.-We publish to-day an
interesting special despatch from London,
giving an account Of the noble, daring deed
by means Of which the officers and men of the
American squadron recently saved the ship
ping, and, possibly, also the city ITSELF of
Marseilles from destruction. 1t is pleasant to
see the boys who wear Uncle Sans honorable
uniform thus winning even brighter and
more glorious fame than can be gained in war;
All honor to the brave hearts and stalwart
arms that have thus conferred distinction upon
themselves their country and their fellow
Citizena!

MINERAL DISCOVERIES AND DEVELOPMENTS
IN AUsTRALAsIA-That other and great Anglo
Saxon empire which is growing up in Austria
hsia is likely to receive an impetus from new
and important discoveries of minerals The
news we published yesterday shows that the
gold fields of New South Wales were increasing
largely, that a large platina mine had been
discovered, that additional discoveries of tin
deposits had been made, that q new gold re-
gion had been found in South Australia, that
there were fresh copper discoveries and in
creased production of copper in Queensland,
and that tin mines were found on the islands
OF Bass Strait. Though Australasia is not
likely to receive such stream of immigration
MS California did, or as any other country nearer
to Europe and America would under similar
circumstances, its growth must be greatly nro-
NOTED by these discoveries. The next GREAT
mineral region, and, no doubt, the richest in
the world, that awaits Anglo-saxon ente,nr;sa
is Mexico. When the United States acon;res
that country there viii be, probably, a greater
excitement and more surprising result to the
world than when the precious metals were dis.

Investigating tho Herald Enterprise.
The mock solemnity which the Senate puts
on over the enterprise of the HERALD in
getting and publishing the correspondence
about the Washington Treaty is very funny.
It is known that every Senator laughs in his
sleeve at this piece of newspaper skill, and adj
mires it. The little fuss made about it is only
for effect, just as an admiring parent smiles
aside upon the harmless tricks of his boy
while pretending to scold. 1t is tempest in
O teapot. 1t Is always so. The Senate hardly
ever fails to lose its secrets through the lynx
eyed and quick-witted agents of the press.
1t pretends to be indignant for time and
then the whole matter invariably subsidies, and
no discovery is made. Of course no Senator
gives up the secret documents, and in
this case Of the Washington Treaty it is not
likely that the State Department would. The
treaty correspondence, perhaps, was found
picked up or came by some other lucky acct
dent. Who knows but some one of the Senators
is a somnambulist, and in his dreams of excite
ment may have taken the copy from under his
pillow and deposited it where newspaper
man could get at it? We were told in the
'Ingoldsby Legends" of q man who rose every
night in his sleep, deliberately walked out to
the garden, dug hole and buried his panta-
LOOMS went to bed again, not knowing what he
had done, and in the morning was astonished
to find he had nothing to cover his nakedness
with. May not the secret correspondence have
come to light in some such way2 If the in
vestigation is to go on we suggest that every
Senator and Senator'S family and domestca
be examined as to the sleep walking propensi-
ties and other peculiar habits Of honorable
gentlemen. 1t is certain no burglary has been
committed The gentlemen of the press are
above that. Great is the mystery Of the enter
prise of modern independent journalism, and
as the session of Congress will be too short to
solve this latest phase of it, Senators would do
well to give up the job in despair.

forgotten that the transference of tho
remains of the First Napoleon from

was the ruin Of the citizen King and the
virtual restoration Of the empire. It does not
follow that the transference of the remains OF
Louis Philippe will be the ruin Of the republic
and the virtual restoration of the monarchy.
1t may rather strengthen the republic; for it
is only an act of justice, the doing of which
does honor to the present government Of
France, and the not doing of which was the
disgrace of the empire.

right of secession, threw odium upon the
party at the North This was intensified by
the hostility of portion of the Northern
democrats to the war and by the sympathy
manifested for the South. Even after the war
ended, when the people began to be dissatis-
fed with the dominant party and its corrup-
ton, and when the democrats had chance of
regaining popular favor they threw away the
opportunity. They foolishly refused to accept
the results Of the war, and chung to issues that
had been buried by it. Hence the republi-
cans, who skilfully used these facts to damage
their opponents, have been able to hold both
the executive and legislative authority of the
republic.
The republicans came into power, as was
said, on the anti-slavery issue. The war swept
that away. 1t no longer exists and never can
exist again. All parties acquiesce now in this
result Of the struggle. AS party question il

tending to change the sentiments of the

can flourish under the vigilant eye Of
public which is allowed to hold and express
an opinion. 1t is quite manifest now that the
French people have discovered that the empire
was less necessity to them than they were q
necessity to the empire. The spell which
bound them for twenty years is broken, and
the chances for the restoration of the empire,
which had already become exceedingly small,
have been rendered by the recent debates
beautifully less.
We are not yet permitted to say that the
various political parties into which the French
people are divided have settled down into
quiet and contentment. No great test of
strength has yet been made and for the simple
reason that the time has not yet come. The
Bordeaux 'pact," which has been so faithfully
observed by iii paroles, and which has made
the position of President Theirs comparatively
one of ease and comfort, MS well as crowned his
administration with success, is still binding
No change can take place until the war
indemnity is paid No new Assembly can
be elected until the last Prussian soldier has
left French soil. When however, the in
demnity shall have been paid and the evacua-
ton shall have been completed, the "pact ="
of Bordeaux will cease to be binding, and
France will be free to say how and by
whom she is to be governed. 1t is
known that France is making vigorous
efforts to raise the necessary funds. 1t is
known that the government of King William
is no longer opposed to immediate payment
and immediate evacuation. In few months,
it is reasonable to conclude, there will be
general election in France Then the strength
of parties will be tested; and not till then will
it be known positively how much of force is
represented respectively by the Bourbons, the
Bonapartes and the republicans.
The recent debates in the Assembly, it must
be admitted, do not encourage the hopes OF
those who believe only in the empire. OF late
there has been little demonstration in favor of
the Bourbons. The Count de Chambord, as
King Of France, must bepronounced an impos-
sibility. Legitimacy and divine right will
