rebels against our attracting the gaze of

Senator schurz iu Trouble Again.

81. Louis, July 2s.--It having been re-
peatedly asserted here and elsewhere, and
several times denied, that Mr.. Schurz, pre-
vious to his election rs United States Sena-
tor, made distinct pledges that he would
stand by and support the Republican party
if elected to the Senate, the Stats Zet,ng
publishes letter from Benjamin F. Loan,
Schurz's competitor in that contest, in which
he reviews the situation of affairs at that
time, and sums up by declaring that, ac-
cording to his recollection, Schurz, in q
speech at Jefferson City during the Sena-
torial contest, utterly denied all sympathy
with those who favored rebel enfranchise-
ment; repudiated those Republican papers
which undertook to commit him to that
policy, and in the most emphatic language
asserted his entire devotion to the most ul-
ira doctrines Of the Radicals, and pledged
his faith and support to them in future.

The Mecklenburg Sentinel thus calls at
tention to impostions practiced upon the

rectlyinformed as to facts, one of the greatest
impositions of the age is now being practiced
by the Roanoke Navigation Company upon
the people shipping produce on the river.
This cooperation, chartered by the Legsa-
ture many years ago for the purpose
of constructing and keeping in repair neces-
sary dams on the river, and removing OBJ
structions, was given the privilege ofcharg-
ing toll ON all freight passing over it and
this privilege they still claim and exercise,
although it has been many years since they
have expended one dollar or paid the least
attention to the condition of the river, and
while it is in a very dangerous condition,
they exact fifty cents toll on every hogs
head of tobacco passing up or down. This
company ought certainly topay heavy divi-
dends. It is the only one we know of
which has all receipts and no expenditures.
Why don't the officers of the Mecklenburg
Boat line look after them? Can't they be
enjoined from charging toll or forced to ex-
pend their receipts in the improvement of
the river"

Troubles Among the Maryland Greeleyltes.

\ The straight-out Democratic State Com
mittee of Maryland met in Baltimore
Wednesday, and decided to call State
Convention to nominate electors in the same

dozen hungry Liberal Republicans, headed
by Ex-Governor Bradford, met at the same
time in Baltimore, with view to dividing
the spoils with the straight-outs. The un-
adulteratea Democrats, however, feeling
strong in that State without the assistance

FROM ABROAD.
The Geneva Arbitration.

Genera, July 27.-The recent interrupt.
ton of the sitting of the board of arbitra-
ton occurred through the necessary re-ex-
animation of the English law on questions
regarding the construction Of privateering
vessels i'll British ports, and also the inves-
tigation as to whether the British Admiralty
used sufficient diligence in preventing these
vessels from gong tie sea.
OF four cases advanced, England repudi-,
ates three, and in the fourth she concludes
that the Admiralty acted promptly, al
though the police hesitated to take the prop
err steps to prevent her departure. '..
The court is also considering the question
of allowing interest on the amount awarded.
tits stated that the majority of the board arc
unfavofable to such allowance. 1t is re-
garded as probable that after careful inves-
tgation of each case, the tribunal will fix
the amount of indemnity to be paid by
England at gross sum.
Charles Francis Adams preserves firm
attitude in. maintaining the claims of the
United States.
The conciliatory disposition so universally
manifested by the American representa-
tives commands much admiration, as also
does their asiduous labor in behalf of their
cause.
Genera, July 29.--The Swiss Times Of
to-day is in position to confirm the report
now current, that the Board Of Arbitration

( HEAVY ROBBERY OF MONEY AND
JEwELRY.-On. Saturday afternoon Ser
geant Hall and Policeman Charter arrested
a young colored man on the charge of rob-
bling MIR. Theodore Prick, butcher, who
resides on Brook avenue, beyond Bacon's
Quarter Branch, of $lS5 and check for
800. Albert, Edward and Lettia Hill and
Flora Jackson and Salina Massey were also
arrested by the same officers on the charge
of receiving portions of the stolen property
with the full knowledge that it was stolen.
On an investigation of the case this morn
ing. it appeared that Smith, who had been
in the employ of Frick, was instigated to
the robbery by Albert Hill. Smith seems
to have turned over to Hill all the money
which he stole, and the jewely, consisting
of breastpins, sleeve buttons, &C., was
distributed by Smith to the parties named
above. Both Smith and Albert Hill were
sent on to the grand jury for indictment.
1t did not appear that the parties who had
received portions of the money and jewelry
had any knowledge that they were stolen,
and they were therefore discharged.
