TON OF CONGRESS DISTRICT DELEGATES.
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNBl
CINCINNATI, April 3O.--The Missourians are less
communicative as to the prospects of Gov. Brown.
They exhibit an inclination, however, to come to an
agreement, in so far as Mr.. Browns interests arc
concerned. Adams still holds his position substan
TALLY unchanged. The discussion ON the nomiDa-
ton, however has given place to the active business
of organization. The call published for the Assem-"
bly, Of the several State delegations this morning,
preparatory to entering the Convention tomorrow,
gave the delegates little opportunity for discussion,
as heretofore in the streets and lobbes Very nearly
every State in the Union has now large delegation
already at hand few more are expected, save those
sent here by interested parties with designs to OUT
number rivals and carry their candidate ahead.
Large numbers Of Nsw-Yorkers arrived by this
mornings train. Two hundred or more, in accord
ance with the call, met this morning to put tho
delegation in position for action. New-York never
sent body Of moro distinctively representative
men. Every profession, nearly, had Q representa-
tive from ito foremost members. Among the whole
arc none that are not prominently identified with
the best days Of the Republican party The meeting
was called to order by Mr.. Ethan Allen Of Now-York

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
OPINION OF JOHN STUART MILL.

HE THINKS THE DIFFERENCES IN THE INTER-
PRETATIoN OF THE TREATY ARE "A PROPER
SUBJECT FOR ARBITRATION.
In reply to an inquiry, Mr. John Stuart Mil writes
as follows respecting the Treaty Of Washington;
AvISsoS, March a. 1877.
DEAR SIR: 1t is perfectly true that the unfor-
tunate difference in the Interpretation put upon tho
Treaty Of Washington by the two parties does ap-
pear to me proper subject for reference to arbitra
ton; and to the very arbitrators provided by tho
Treaty. unless the parties prefer, and agree upon,
some other tribunal. II there Is any value at ell in
the principal of international arbitration, there Is
surely no subject to which that principle can b.
more fttingly applied than to determining the true
sense of an international engagement. We may re-
gret that this method of settling national differences
should be subjected to trial at 90 early
period of its history; but we should not be there
fore justified in repudiatiDg 1T In one Of the very
cases which require it most. i am, dear Sir, yours
very respectfully, US. Mill.

Why Ex-SECRETARY Cox REsIG-
NED.--The Commercial, ever wishing
to be ia the right, snd never knowing
ly preventing facts, is anxious to learn
why Ex-Secretary Cox left President
Grants Cabinet. AS we are in poss-
ession of information which we con-
slider perfectly reliable, we are glad to
have the privilege of setting the Com
n,ercia. right. Civil service reform
was mere prstext. Ex-Secretary Cox
has had not the least scintilla Of evi
dence to show that he ever instituted
any reform, even in the Department
over which he had control. and the
notion that he is practical reformer is
q delusion.
The true reason why Ex-Secrstary
Cox left the Cabinet and is now SO Bit
ter in his denunciation of the Presi-
dent, is because he was not offered the
position of Minister to England, a
place which he dearly desires, and the
failure of President Grant to appreoi
ate his fitness for it is the cause of his
explosions of righteous indignation at
the Administrator.
IF Elk Secretary Cox can deny this
statement we will probably give the
information alluded to.-Cor. Times
and Chronicle.

"DolIy Yardens."

There Is a great excitement among
the falr women of the land over some
thing of the above name. 1t is som e.
thing that that is worn by the females
mostly. You cant hear anything
else but "Dolly Vardens" where two or
three women are gathered together.
Wishing to keep our readers posted on
all that pertains to woman and her ad-
ornment we have interviewed lady and
found out what this new tangled thing is
Hold your breath now. A Dolly Var
den, IS moireantique dress pattern
the molreantlque it is the better-it is
made of some material, and is cut
blassed at the top and bottom, aud
trimmed with Honiton polonases and
tube roses, with pelum running two
chains and three links to the southwest
from the starting point, around the out
skirts of civilization and pinned togeth-
er with self acting safety pin. The
dress pattern is figured largely, during
the coming campaign. The figures
are so large that it takes eight dress
patterns to show off the figure to ad-
vantage. When broiled-and hus-
bands will get in broil if they don't
buy one-they are excellent covered
with gravy made in the shape of an
overdress. They are buckled down
under the shoes like tight pants, and
have hustle on the-to be continued,
as large as load of hay. Now this is
what she told us a Dolly Warden was,
and if she has deceived US and trif ed
with our feelings, it is the last time we
will place confidence in the sweet
words of woman.

COFFEE AND TEA.--The United
States Senate, last week, passed an
amendment to Sherman's Tariff Bill,
putting tea and COTE on the free list.
The Finance Committee of the Senate
had already reported iu favor of re-
duction of duty on these two articles,
butit was scarcely expected that the
Senate would place them on the free
list. This, however, has been done,
although this vote does not make the
Free Tea and Coffee Bill a law, not
withstandipg both houses have now
voted to that effect. The vote is only
important as indicating that it is now
within the power of the Senato to ccm-
pei the Finance Committee to report the
original House Free Tea and Coffee
Bill at any time and pass it. The
country will bail with satisfaction a
reduction in the prices of these two
necsssariss of life, and the sooner this
is brought about the better The rev.
enue obtained from tea and coffee has
always been considered burdensome bv
the masses of the people, and if Con-
gress is wise, the tax..on these commodi
ties will be at once removed.

This week will be an animated time
among the people of Connecticut, prep
aratory to the state election which oc-
ours next Monday, April 1st. The
two parties are alive to the work before
them, and the ablest orators on both
sides are en- the stump. Governor
Jewell, who was elected last year by
lO3 majority, is the Republican candi-
date for reelection. The success of
the Republican state ticket is confident
ly looked for, although in any event the
vote will be close.

4 DEFEAT OF IA PENSION BILL.-The
Senate Committee on Pen sions on
Thursday reported advers ely on the
House bill granting pensions in certain
cases. and which passed the House so
quickly that no member, hardly knew
what had been done. It turned cut
that the bill, if it became law, would
take at least Sl0,000,000 out of the
treasury and increase the appropriations
for pensions tequite $40, 100000 annu-
ally. The action of the Sen ate COM
mlttse, howe yer, defeats the project.

The Washington Republican of the
% inst. has the following editorial
President Grants position on the
subject of the nomination for the Pres
idency, as well as for the Vice Pres
idency, is this He has never asked
anyone to vote for his own renomina-
ton, or in the slightest way to work
for it. He feels that it is for the PEG.
pie, through their representatives in
National Conventions assembled. to say
who shall, or who shall not, be their
standard-bearers. IF they decide that
he ls the man who, of all men, ought
to lead them in the campaign whose
shadow is already upon US, as they de-
clded during the rebellion and after,
when rebellion came TO an end, very
good. He will accept the responsible
ity and ssduty to which he is called. If
not, he will stand by the party and its
organization all the same. If he is re-
nominated, and had the choice of can
didate with him on the ticket, he would
probabl y select Mr.. Colfax. Their rela-
tons have always been, as our Indiana
contemporary says, of the most agree
able character. Mr.. Colfax has never
intcrfered in any way with the Execu-
tive in the difficult and thankless mat
ter of appointments and patronage.
He has not, as other Vice Presidents
have done, asked to be allowed any
voice in the selection of appointments.
even to reward his own friends and, if
renominated and reelected, would
probably maintain the same course in
future.

The United. States takes the lead of all ma
tons in enterprise and competition, and
New York is the first, generally, to offer
the greatest advantages. Almost every
month brings forth new advertisements, as
liberal in their terms as they are sparkling
in their originality
In another column of this paper the
Grand Opera Co., l29 Fulton Street New

throughout the United States and distribute
$500, 600 among purchasers of tickets.
Ticket holders receive a handsome present

competition, and certainly guarantees to
every one the value of his money.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1872.
THE TEMPERANCE LAW.

The temperance bill introduced into
the Legislature by Mr.. Graham, OF
GAINESVILLE, finally passed both Houses
last week, and as there is no doubt OF
its receiving the sanction of the Gov
ernor, the measure will soon become
the law of tie state
Just in what shape the bill was
passed, at the present writing, we are
not aware, but we presume it does not
differ much from the original bill.
From the time of It's first introduce
ton into the Assembly until its final
passage, no bill, this session, has crea-
ted as much interest and excitement.
The friends and enemies Of the meas
ure were alike vigllant and active, and
the debates were conducted with tact
and ability on both sides, Strong
efforts we're made to exempt native
wines and lager beer from the provls-
ions of the bill, but the friends of the
measure Won Id accept no compromise,
and, "the whole thing, or nothing,
was the motto of the temperance men.
What is mainly sought for by this
bill, is the suppression of drunkenness,
and SO far as it viii be instrumental in
bringing about reform of this kind,
we all must bid it God speed. BY its
provisions, drankards and those who
make drunk, are both punished, and
the liquor dealer is placed under bonds
to keep an orderly place of business.
IF the Graham bill succeeds in its con-
templated reformatory mission, no one
will regret its passage, and many
will have reason TO rejoice. But the
law, it must be admitted, is as yet an
experiment, and many warm friends OF
doubts as to its success in bringing
about the reform aimed at by the mea-
sure. In Ohio, bill of this kind was
passed several years ago, but con-
Trajectory reports come to US as to Its
workings. In Illinois, also, tie people
areltrying it, but with what success re-
mains to be seen. 1t is queer coin
cidence that the same day that Wiscon-
sin passed the Graham temperance bill,
the state of Iowa defeated one just
like it.
We believe in giving this temper
ance law good fair trial, and trust it
may SO operate as to prove beneficial
to the people, and realize to its Strongest
friends all that they could rea sonably
expect.
