The Alta California alludes to the
surplus Of some SO, 000, 600 which re-
mains in the National Treasury after
the payment OF all the claims Of pri-
vate parties for injuries sustained
from, rebel cruisers during the civil
war. This is the remainder of the
SIS, $4,000 paid the United States by
Great Britain under the Geneva award.
The Alta Is exercised owe this sur
plus, and c~opceives that our national
honor and purity demand that every
dollar In excess Of audited private
claims be refunded to England. The
Alias conclusion would be just and
high.minded were 1t based upon facts;
but unless our memory is much at
fault our contemporary is reasoning
from false premises. We know that
the American cease" at Geneva de-
mandei a large award for national
losses and expenses incurred by rea-
son of the presence of the Alabama
and her compeers on the high seas;
and we believe this claim was consid-
cred by the High Court in making. it's
award, although Of this latter point we
are not sure. AT all events, So 1000, 600
would not pay one-tenth of the eS
pense entailed upon our Navy De-
partmeut alone by the active, ever.
present rebel cruisers, manned and
equipped in British ports. No; let us
not return this money to England,
who would probably snub us and re-
fuse to receive IL; but let US rather set
it apart under the name of the Geneva
fraud, and with its proceeds-$i00, 600
