COMMTNICATFD.

Many communications have appeared
in the APPEAL, two at least written by
prominent lawyers, and Others by bUsi-
ness men, asserting the necessity for
Chancellor SCOTS reelection to the
position he holds It Is said, with at
least apparent justice, that he is an ex-
eellent Chancellor; that he has held the
position cnly long enough to show his
admirable fitness for il, and that il
not elected he would only have lost
his practice and must begin de 1oUO.
Since, If these correspondents tell
the truth Of Judge Scott, and we
have no reason to question their
veraeity, and no better or worthier
Chancellor can be chosen, 1t is argued
that he, ike Governor Brown TO the
Governors place, has a sort Of " pre-emp-
ton right TO the Office sought
But these are inquiries and ques-
tions left for the discussion Of
correspondents referring readers, and
especially delegates elect to the con-
vention, 10 the list of candidates
names in another place. Gentlemen
aspire to the position who are inferior TO
Judge Scott in no moral or intellectual
quality OF force adapting them to
the Chaucellorship, and all that we ask
of the representative Of the people is
the selection Of the wisest, and best,
and wOrthiest in the list Of candidates.

LOUISVILLE, June 16.-A prisoner in
attempting to escape from the work
house this evening was shot by the drug
gist Of the institution, and so badly
wounded that he is not expected to re-
cover.
a man named w. Brady was run over
this morning some four miles from the

and horribly mangled.
The number Of persons bitten by dogs
last night in the east end of the city is
ascertained to be about twenty. Great
anxiety is felt as to the result, though
some express hope that the dogs did not
have hydrophobia. Every attention is
being paid to the persons bitten.
The floor of the Christian church at

ARKANSAS.

Correspondents Of Arkansas papers
designate Hon. A. H Garland as a pro-

Judge Underwood is constantly men

well-known correspondent, IA. T. 81,

IN ability and personal worth. These
gentlemen will attend the coming Little

friends and admirers Of each. We don't

WORKINGMEN's TROUBLES
A Riot Suppressed and Mob Dispersed
by the Prompt Action Of the Police
Several Persons Injured.

NEW YORK, June 16.-At six o'clock
last evening Matthiessen & Wiccher's
sugar refinery, in Jersey City, struck
for an advance for wages, demanding
two dollars and fifty cents instead ofOne
dollar and seventy-fVe cents per day.
The proprietOrs anticipated trouble, and
a dispatch was sent to police headquaT-
ters. Chief McWilliams and a squad of
thirty men started for the place of meet
ing. When they arrived the ringleaders
of the mob were endeavOring to incite
the crowd to take summary measures
and tear down the Office. With some
trouble the mob was forced into Berger
street in front of liquor store, where
they made a stand, and refused
to move further. The police were
ordered to make charge, but the mob
withstOOd the shock, and for several
minutes appeared TO have the best
of it. The police then drew their re-
vOlvers, and the cry arose that they in
tended to fire, whereOn the crowd broke
and took refuge in the houses on the
street and in the steel factory. After
the street cleared several of the mob
We're found disabled having been struck
down by the pOlicemen's batons. Off
Ger Eaton was knocked down by blow
on the head from bung-starter, which
it is feared will result in cOncussiOn of
the brain. For half an hour after the
rally the men assembled in crowds on
the street-corners, but they were gradu-
ally dispersed, and at eight o'clock the
police We're withdrawn. johnson, one
Of the disabled rioters, is believed to be
the man who struck Officer Eaton.
The bakers are thoroughly organizing
preparatory to a strike for twelve hours
instead of sixteen.
The furriers have formed a protective

that if this scale is not adopted by
Wednesday next they will strike.

mOulders struck in Brooklyn yesterday,
and the metal and slate-roOfers there
strike tomorrow.
Nearly all the irOn-wOrks men in
Brooklyn are on the strike.
Albany dispatches say that nothing
new has transpiTed in the strike Of the
Central railroad employees. The strikers
and sympathizers held a large meeting
last night in the city, at which several
speeches cOunselling moderation were
made, and a committee appointed to
urge a cooperation of the employees in
East Albany, and to receive commune
cations from officers of the railroad COM
pany. 1t is said that the workmen in
the other branches of industry here are

ENGLAND.

LONDON, June 16.-Special dispatches
from Geneva to London journals say
that the sitting of the Board yesterday
lasted only one hour. Lord Tenterden
presented the formal demand of Great
Britain for adjournment until the ques-
tion of indirect claims is settled with the
United States. The American agent re-
piled that he had received no instruc-
tiOns from his government. The Board
will discuss probably on Monday the
proposal for an adjournmen4 Some re-
port the Americans will concede the
point, and that England will make no
further concessions. The American
commissioner, agent and counsel have
engaged apartments in Geneva for the
season. The representatives of England
dined together yesterday, and make an
excursion on the lake to-day.

Earl Granville 20 Sir Edward Thornton
The Indirect Claims Discussed.

Letters from Earl Granville to Sir
Edward Thornton, dated in May, claim
that be will be able to show, upon the
testimony of Reverdy johnson, corrOb-
grated by extracts cited by Secretary
Fish, that for the first seven years Of the
discussion, up to 1869, none but direct
claims were known as Alabama claims,
and that the indirect losses were men
toned by the American High Commits
sioners, not as claims but as grievances,
and were mentioned only TO be with
drawn from discussion.
The English mail brings copies Of an
appendix to the case as presented on the
part Of the British Government, giving
reports OF the committees appointed by
the Board OF Admiralty to examine the
lists Of the claims contained in volume
seven OF the appendix to the case of the
United States. The principles on which
the reports are founded, contained in or
are deduclble from the following as
sumptions or propositions:
first-That on the one hand there OK
lists no ground for awarding vindictive
damages.
Seeondly-That on the other hand
when once the liability TO compensation
for a given loss is established sJch
compensation is to be estimated in ac-
cordance with the well recognized prin-
ciple of Testittttio ia inteqrdna, subject.
however, to these considerations as to
the damages not being of too remote,
contingent or speculative a character
which, being common 10 the jurispru-
dence of all civilized nations, are adopt
ed by international law, and therefore
seems to these commissioners rroDerlv
applicable to the present position.
