With Great Britain oyer the treaty Of

the following statement. which is impor-

ut should also be known that the case
on ogr side was prepared exclusively, by
MIR: j. @. B. Davis, and that it was tot
submitted either to. Mr. Evarts, Mr.
Gushing. or any OF the Government's
counsel for their advice, and was not
known to them until after it had been
completed and printed, and was beyond

GOVERNOR REEDS IAPEAcuMpHr.-
Speaking. editorially, of the recent i'm
parchment of Governor Reed, of Flori-
ia, the New York ErcninG Post of Sat-
urday says:
MIR. Harrison Reed will be remembered
as one Of the "loyal Governors" who
travelled through the Northern States in
1868. with reports of the dreadful deeds
of the Southern secesaionists. He an.
pcared upon one OCCASION at ratification
meeting in Cooper Institute, and was
greatly applanded for his patriotic senti.
ments. He proposed to restore Florida
to "proud position" in tho Union.
MIR. Reed was elected Governor that
year. Not many months afterwards ru-
nors OF corruption began to circulate in
cl"flda More than year ago AL moi
dent happened which pointed to Go
vernon iced more directly ns ono Of
rapa'ious rnilrond ring which had con-
nections IN several Of the Southern
States. North Carolina changed the
political character of its government.
and the thieves who had mado their
headquarters in Raleigh fed from that
state. The leader among them was Mr..
Milton 8. Littletield, who published the
Raleigh Standard in the interest of the
rings. He ran to Florida, where he has
since been protected by Governor Reed
against every rtqnisition or summons.
tie has been plying his old vocation
With equal success as in North Carolina.
Ono a.t"r another the corrupt rings
which have ruled the Southern States
seem to be crumbling. When they are
all broken peace will return, and there
Will probably be no call for Ku Klux
laws The ring Governors of North Car
DINA and Georgia have already been
driven away by the force of public opin.
ION, and the maladministration in South
Carolina, Louisiana. Texas and Arkansas
must soon give WY before the popular
Zeal Tor reform in those States.

The Ku Knux CASES BEFonr THE
United STATES SuPnKMK OouRr.
Washington telegram OF the 11th instant
to the Nv York Tribune says:
ut will be remembered that the pro.
secution OF. the Ku Klux in South Caro-.
lima was suddenly suspended, a few
weeks ago, because OF the disaereement
of the Circuit Judge and the District
Judge, sitting together, for the trial of
these. capses The cases were, there
fore. Csrtifed up to the Supreme court
OF the United States. The points upon
which tue conrt will be required to de-
eide are as follows: First, as to whether,
under the, enforcement law, OF May 81,
1870, persons can be punished for oom-
hitting crime defined under the laws
OF the State; and. second, as to whether
the right to bear arms is right guaran-
teed by the constitution, and to be pro-
tected under the Enforcement ACT. This
will substantially test the validity of the
Act in question, and decide whether
criminals shall be punished for violating
this law. as those that are punished
under the State law. This important
question will be brought up in short
time in the Supreme Court. Attorney
General Williams and General Bristo =
will appear for the Government, and
Reverdy Johnson and Henry Ssanbery
for the Ku Klux."

The PREsDKNoY.-Thef following ex.
tract, from q leading article by the
Cooperstown IN. ~ Freeman's Journal.
is thought to have been inspired bv
Judge Wilson, of the United States Su.
preme Court:
''Chief Justice Chase has dismissed all
thought OF being candidate for Presi-
dent this year, aud in favor of the nomi-
nation OF Senator Trumbull as the oppo-
sition candidate. MIR. Trumbull is un-
derstood to be revenue tariff man, and
opposed to high protective tariff. The
health OF Judge Chase is not sufficiently
restored to admit of the excitement of q
political campaign such as We are likely
to have this year; fact which he fully
realizes. Most Of the leading Demo
orats OF this State are at present inclined
to accept Senator Trumbuli as the
coming man, but opposes any preoipi-
tate action"
A Washington despatch says: .The
m"n who are controlling the Cincinnati
convention. which is called to nominate
liberal Republican ticket for President
and Vice-President, have become i'm.
pressed with the idea that there is def
mite prospect Of Grants being set aside
at tho Philadelphia convention, and, de.
sirous of making no premature moves,
they have decided to postpone the Gin
clnnati convention till June 20. in order
that they may accept the nominee at
Philadelphia. If it be man on whom
they can unite"
