TIE TREATY or WASHING TON-

There seems to be no reason to doubt that
the supplemental article to the treaty will be
negotiated by the President and ratified by
the Senate. In the late executive session of
the Senate where it was discussed, Mr., Sum-
ner made the principal speech, submitting a
substitute of his own which differed but little
in substance from the other. Although he
asserted says the correspondent of the Bos-
ton journal, 'that the indirect damages must
be insisted upon, as General Grant has de-
clared in his message of December 1869, he
said nothing that showed determination to
oppose the supplementary article or amend
ment He made no unfriendly aliusion to
Gen. Grant, but criticised the course of See
rotary Fish and Bancroft Davis severely.
Mr.. Conkling replied to Mr.. Sumner, chal.
longing him to show that he had ever expected
Great Britain to make any money payment
for the indirect claims, but that they were
presented to save an additional apology, AMI
further to strengthen our direct claims.
Mr.. Edmunds spoke at some length in OPP
position to conserving to further negotiations
which might be regarded as backdown on
the part of our Government. He also has a
substitute for the supplementary article pro-
posed.
Mr.. Thurman made a strong speech, in
which he took the ground that the question
was too important and Of too high a nature to
be viewed from partisan stand point, and
intimated plainly he should vote in favor of
the supplementary article.
Several of the substitutes proposed have
been printed or ordered to be printed, and
they all appear to be inspired by an earnest
desire to preserve friendly relations with
Rrita h,tp To iUl,t IN
present our claim for indirect damages 1t is
thought that after one or two more sessions a
supplementary article, similar to the one pre-
scented, will be agreed upon, which over two
thirds of the Senators will advise the Senate
to negotiate. This will be communicated to
Sir Edward Thornton, who will use the cable
and it is believed that the supplementary
article can be presented to the Senate for its
ratification before the close of the week.

GREELEY ~ 1871

In the Tribune Of February ISL, Mr..
Greeley wrote the following article. Then
he thought it of the greatest importance
that the opposition should be kept out Of
power Then he seemed to believe that a
democratic triumph would result in bring
ing the rebels back to power. Then he
said that the democratic party was rebel
to the core, that its brain, heart and soul
were in the rebel element of the South,
and that it would hail with gladness our
national bankruptcy and disgrace.
Now Mr.. Greeley after all his denuncia-
tons Of the democratic party and warn
ings against the dang or of its getting con
troll Of the government is the prospective
instrument of the democracy to effect thai
very thing. Now he hopes and expects
to be their candidate for President. le
ii what he said Of them was true in 1877
it is true now, and here it is. We ask fol
it careful reading.
We like Gen. Grant but we care far more
for Republican ascendency than for any man S
| personal fortunes. IL Is In our view OF great
importance that the opposition shall be kept
out of power, while it is of comparatively
small moment that or r should tenant the
White House. FOR A DEMOCRATIC Ma
TIONAL TRIUMPH MEANS A RESTOR-
ALTON TO POWER OF THOSE WHO
DESERTED THEIR SEATS IN CON
GRESS AND THEIR PLACES UNDER
THE LAST DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT
TO PLUNGE THE COUNTRY INTO THE
READ SEA OF SECESSION AND RE-
BELLlON. THOUGH YOU PAINT AN
INCH THICK, TO THIS COMPLEXION
YOU MUST COME AT LAST. THE
BRAIN, THE HEART, THE SOUL, OF
THE PRESENT DEMOCRATIC PARTY
IS THE REBEL ELEMENT AT THE
SOUTH. WI ITS NORTHERN ALLIES
AND SYMPATHIZERS. 1T is REBEL
AT THE CORE TODAY, hardly able to
reconcile the defeats of Lee, Johnston,
Bragg, Hood and Price, and the consequent
downfall of its beloved Confederacy, with its
traditional faith in Divine Providence. !,
would hail the election of a Democratic Presi-
| ident in 1872 as virtual reversal of the APP
pomattox surrender. 1t would come into
power with the hate, the 'chagrn, the wrath
the modification, of ten bitter years, to impe
and guide its steps. 1t would devote itself to
taking off or reducing tax after tax until the
Treasury was deprived of the means of pay
ing interest on the national debt and would
hail the tidings Of national bankruptcy with
unalloyed gladness and unconcealed exulta-
ton. Whatever chastsement may be de-
served by our national sins, we must hope
that this disgrace and humiliation will be
| spared us.

There will be pretty sharp rivalry in the
first and fifth congressional districts in this
State for the republican nomination for
Congress, but the candidates are worthy
men and true republicans. and the re-
suit, whatever it may be, in either dis
trict, will be acquiesced in and supported
by the whole strength of the party and
the nominees will be handsomely elected.
The opposition would like to have it
otherwise. and accordingly strive to fos-
ter disaffection and create the opinion that
1t exists, but they will accomplish moth
ing. They must hang their ''whte hat
on some other peg than the State OF
Maine or any congressional district with
in its borders.
The nomination of President Grant by
the workingmen's convention in New
York is the strongest demonstration of
the laboring sentiment of the country
which has yet been made The nomina-
ton of Judge Davis as the Labor Re-

cation Of politicians and wire-pullers.

true country. 1t is movement that will
command respect in all parts of the
country.
