Ter is prominently urged for the Chief
Justiceship, and his personal friends
are among the Presidents intimate ad-
visers. 1t is urged against him that he
is not valuable member OF the repub-
lican party, while his decision in the
New Orleans slaug ghter house case 10

members otthe bar as one, it is said,
wholly in the interests Of monopoly.
General Howard.
It is understood that General Howard
demurs to any form Of trial before a
military tribunal in connection with his
administration OF the Freedmen's
Bureau. He iustifies this objection by
expressing his opinion that in the PRES
ent feeling OF army officers against his
views on the Indian question, as well as
their constant prejudice against the re-
presentation OF the army in the manage
ment OF the Freedmen's Bureau, he
could not be certain Of justice at the
hands of military court. 1t is the lm-
preston that the War Department will
accommodate Itself 10 Gen. Howard's 8
wishes, and another congressional in
vestigation will be suggested on the as
sembliug OF Congress in December.
The Geneva Award.
u is stated that the Geneva award,
amounting to SIS 100000, will be paid
at the State Department on the 9th OF
September. The seventh article OF the
Treaty of Washington provides that
the gross su,a awarded shall be paid in
coin by the government Of Great Britain
TO the government ofthe United States,
at Washington, within twelve moaths
after the date of the award. For some
time the British government was puz-
zled how to fulfil the treaty, when the
Syndicate proposed 10 make the pay
ment easy. On the 9th Of June last
they made an additional subscription
of S2O,000,000 to the Five Per Cent
Loan, and the call was at once made
for that amount of five-twenty bonds,
most of which are held in Europe. AS
fast as they are presented in London
they are bought by the Syndicate for
the British government and delivered
to our financial agent, A. G. Cattel, who
has already advised the Secretary Of
the Treasury that he has received S..
600, coo Of theamount called in by the
OF June 6, and interest on which
ceases September 6. The United States
Treasurer acknowledges the transaction
By issuing a gold certificate for the
amount OF the bonds, payable to the
Syndicate or their order on the 9th OF
September at his office in Washington.
These certificates, to the amount OF the
award, will be made payable to Sir Ed-
ward Thornton, the British Minister at
and on the day due be
will demand of the Treasurer pay-
ment in full, receiving coin certlti-
cate which he will make paya-
ble to Hamilton Fish, Secretary OF
Slate, who will acknowledge its receipt
as full, perfect and final settlement
OF all claims upon Great Britain grow
ing out of the depreiations OF the rebel
cruisers. The check for the amount
will then be paid into the Treasury, the
i've twenty bonds cancelled and sub
or rlioa made 10 the same amount to

but in The bill making provision tor its
disir button it is intended to apply the
interest accumulated by the investment
in i've per cent bonds to the payment OF
expeuses ALREADY incurred or that may
hereafter be incurred in the settlement
OF these claims. There is also another
item of expense to be provided for. The
Syndicate is entitle under the terms Of
the contract to it's full commission for
the subscription made by the govern.
men. to its own loan, which will
amount to over $4,000. The whole
amount OF the award must be kept in
tact, so that this expense will have to
be paid out OF the Treasury in the final
settlement with the Syndicate.
