FINAL SETTLEMENT. - The Geneva
Board of Arbitration have completed
their labors and adjourned. The decision
in the award of settlement Of the case be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
is quite lengthy and sets forth in detail
the facts and conclusions drawn by the
Arbitrators. Below we give the conclud-
ing portion of the decision, wherein the
award for damages and interest on the
same will be found:
So far as relates to the particular forms
of indemnity claimed by the United
States for costs incurred in the pursuit of
the cruisers, it is not in the judgment of
the tribunal properly distinguishable from
general expenses of war therefore the
court is of opinion, by majority of three
to two, that there is no ground for award
ing any sum by way OF indemnity under
this head.
Whereas, prospective injuries cannot
properly be made the subject for compen-
sation, inasmuch as they depend in their
nature on future and uncertain contingent
cies, the tribunal is unanimously of opin-
ion that there is no ground for award
ullbtl tillS nCdd'
Whereas, in order to arrive at an equi-
table compensation for damages sustained
it is necessary to set aside all double
claims for the same losses, and all claims
for gross freight so far as it exceeds net
freight;
Whereas, it is just and reasonable to
allow interest at a reasonable rate;
Whereas, in accordance with the spirit
and letter of the treaty of Washington, it
is preferable to adopt the form of adjudi-
cation of sum in gross rather than to re-
fer the subject of compensation for fur
ther discussion and deliberation to the
Board of Assessors provided in Article 10
of the treaty of Washington, the Tribunal
of Arbitration, using the authority con-
ferred on its members by Article 10 of
the treaty, by majority of four voices,
awards the United States of America the
sum of Sl5, ,500,000 in gold, as indemnity
to be paid by Great Britain to the use of
the American Government, for the salts
faction OF all claims referred to the con-
sideration of the Arbitrating Tribunal,
contormably to the provisions contained
in Article of the treaty; and in accord
ance with the terms of Article ii of the
treaty, the Tribunal declares that all
claims which have been referred to it for
adjudication are hereby fully, perfectly
and finally settled.
The court furthermore declares that
each and every one of said claims, wheth-
er the same may or may not have been
presented to notice or laid before the Tri-
bunal, shall henceforth be considered
and treated as settled and barred.
In testimony whereof the present de-
cision and award has been made in du-
plcate and signed by the Arbitcators who
have given their assent thereto, the whole
being in exact conformity with the treaty
of Washington.
Made and concluded at the Hotel de
Vile, Geneva, Switzerland, September
18th, in the year of our Lord 1872.

WE GIVE IT UP.--Last week the
JOURNAL had the audacity to claim the
late election in Vermont as a Republican
victory but we are now compelled to ex-
pose our ignorance of the proper manner
in which to figure election majorities.
We had always supposed that the increase
or decrease in majorites was counted
from the last previous election, and we
now tender our sincere thanks to the
Yreka Union Lu.trell's official organ)
for having informed us just how the Yer
mont election turned out. We don't
want to be selfish and therefore give our
readers the benefit of the Union'S figures {:
"OAicial returns from all but four towns
in Vermont, give n Republican majority
of 25,6lS. The total vote will exceed
$4,000, the largest ever cast in that State.
AT the State election before the last Pres
idential election, the total vote was 81, 6,2l2,
with a Republican majority of 1890.
The increase in the total vote is nearly
5000, and the Republican loss, 1,702."
We were also mistaken in regard to
Maine as the following, from the same
source, referring to the late election in
that State, will show:
''The present election shows a falling
off of from 1900 to 5000 in the Republic
an majority on full vote Of the State.
(Maine). We confess, the reduction of
Republican majority is not so great as we
had hoped to see. Still, as We stated last
week, we look confidently for a greater
detection from the Republican party in
the Middle and Western States than
could be hoped tor in the Eastern"

In RELATION TO GOAT Island
Coghlan, Member of Congress from the
Third District, wrote to friend in Val
lejo under date of May oath, saying:
1.-THE Goat Island bill bears no resem-
bance to land grant whatever. Had it
been a subsidy | should have voted against
it. The right of way and the use of one half
of the Island is sold, not given, to the
railroad corporation. The said Island is
not Government land' in any sense of
being open to settlement. 1t will make
San francisco a free port, for the bill
prohibits wharf charges. The company
can use it for no other than railroad pur-
poses. | would have been glad to go
with the popular side, but by so doing |
should have voted to keep the heavy
wharf tax of one dollar per ton on the
wheat and produce of the interior of the
State and thus have indirectly assisted in
forcing the commerce of the Pacific to
Puget Sound. In ten years should have
been execrated for yielding to popular
clamor against what ten minutes calm
consideration will show was for the best
interests of the State. | have satisfied
myself that the amendment proposed by
myself and advocated in speech at the
time L introduced the resolution, had q
large influence in making this House
antl-railroad. We have steadily refused
to pass any bill granting land to railroads
or extending the time after the grant
had failed. | have consistently worked
against railroad subsidies, notwithstand
ing the charges of my enemies to the
contrary"

RAILROAD ITEMs.--From the Red
Bluff Sentinel of last week, we CLEAN the
following: SINCE the railroad station
was opened at Redding the average num-
Der of cars per day, loaded with merchan-
disc from below, consigned to northern
merchants, has been eight, besides a
large amount of material belonging to
the Railroad Company, which, with the
exception of the latter, has been tran
ferred at, and forwarded from, Red Bluff
station...... THE depot at Cottonwood will
be completed the latter part of next week.
The Company will appoint an agent for
that station as soon as it is finished, and
will also open a telegraph Office there.
Apparently they anticipate a lively busi-
nesss at that point..... THE freight house
at Redding is now completed, with the
exception of the freight and telegraph Of
flee, which is intended to be the finest on
this Division when finished. ......NoAH
LowERY has sold out his saloon business
to Sam Thomas.

JUST THE CoURsE.-Prior to the NOM

-, The above was matter of notorety at

WHERE THE UNION" STANDS
The Union says it is the only true friend
of the Republican party on this Coast.
In late editorial, showing why Luttrell,
Democrat, should be elected over Cogh-
Ian, Republican, it said: "A Democrat
ic House would be able to do no harm,
and might possibly do some positive good
for the country" and again, in the same
article said: "We don't see any partic-
ular danger to the country from the pros
pect of Democratic House of Represent
atives." And that's where the Sacra-
mento Union stands.

SHASTA. - The following items are
taken from the Courier of Sept. 14th:
A HooDLUM of Shasta has been fined $40

was In the pay of the " Railroad and
that its course was dictated from the Of
fee of the Central Pacific Railroad. Now
the unvdTntshed truth is, that If the I'm
ion knoaOS anything at all about the mat
ter, ft kno1cs better. We say this without
fear of contradiction, and we know that
in this community our statements will
not be doubted, that We hare neUer, di-
3'ectty or Indirectly had any c0n1naunicd-
ton, oral or tC1'itten, lCith the Central
officers or employees, or any person or
persons authorized or assuming to be
authorized to act, or speak, or repre-
resent the Company, in regard to the
past, present or future course Of the
Journal. Furthermore, we have never
had any business relations with the Cen
tral Pacific, and have not travelled sin
gle mile in its cars. Still further, we
have never had any correspondence with
the Railroad at all except that we wrote
three years ago to A. n. Towne, Gen
eral Superintendent at Sacramento, sug-
gesting that it might accommodate the
people of Trinity county TO have their
time and fare tables advertised in the
JOURNAL. To our communication we
received curt response to the effect that
the Company were not thinking of ex-
tending their advertising but on the con-
trary were curtailing it. To sum up, we
say that we have never received single
dollar from the Central Pacific Railroad
Company in any way, shape, manner or
form, and that we have neither the hope
nor expectation of any favor or reward
from that quarter. We are neither to be
bullied by the Daily Sacramento I'm
ion " nor bribed by the Central Pacific,
and the " Union may just as we'll put
the fact in its pipe and smoke it. There
is short way to settle disputes with the
Union" That paper asserted that the
JOURNAL supported Gorham in 1867 as
the champion of the railway interest.
This assertion we characterized as false,
the Bidwel slate at that time for a share
in the State Printing. This the Union"
says is a falsehood, and unequivocaly
charges that the JOURNAL is in the pay
of the Central Pacific for the purpose of
weakening the Unions " influence. To
this we also give the lie direct and chal-
lenge the proof. Whatever mode the
" Union may propose to arrive at the
facts will be satisfactory to us, although
our preference is for the shortest and
most direct method. To be more spe-
cific about the State Printing, our in(or-
nation is to the effect that the " Union "
was to have one-fourth, and that one
fourth was estimated at about eighteen
thousand dollars. If the Union knows
anything about money paid to the Trim
ITY JOURNAL in behalf of the Central
Pacific, or any other Railroad company,
or any understanding as to the course of
the JOURNAL on railway matters that
has been had or exists, let it make the
facts known. In the event Of the Sacra-
mento Union" making default and
failing to make good the charges it has
made, we now deliberately brand that
paper as reckless, unscrupulous, and
malicious libeler of the Republican press
of this State in general and the TRINITY
JOURNAL in particular. In this contro-
versy we ask no quarter and intend to
give none.

LUTTRELL's RECoRD-To prove that
Luttrell, the UhiOn'S secession candidate
for Congress against Coghlan, is a base
demagogue, it is only necessary to relate
the following of him, for the truth of
which we can vouch: Last Winter, dur
ing one of Luttrell's TRADES against the
railroad in the Legislature, he took occa-
sion to eulogize ex- Governo& Low for his
action in vetoing a measure granting GER
tain lands and privileges in San Francisco
Bay to the railroad company, which had
passed the Legislature Of 1866, and of
which body Mr.. Luttrell was a member,
Luttrell pointed to the noble stand then
taken by Governor Low in opposing the
grasping propensties of the monopoly.
Subsequent to the speech certain mem
Der took the pains to overhaul the record
of that session, and 10 there appeared
this same Luttrell as one of the defenders
of that "iniamous BILL" and directly an
tagonistic to the man he had that day
eulogized. On the subject being broached
to him he at first denied it, but when cor
nered with the record before his eyes ad-
mitted the fact with a clumsy, schoolboy
excuse. That Luttrell should be thus
caught in his own meshes can be easily
accounted for by the fact that his speech
es were evidently written in the Union
Office during last Winter, and when once
undertaken had to be swallowed whole.
