The Panama Canal Question.

The question of a protectorate over the
proposed Panama canal comes to the surface
again in the communication Of Secretary
Freinghuysen to Minister Lowell, reported
to the Senate last Monday. The points made
by the Secretary with reference to the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty are in substance these
That the canal would affect our commerce,
destroy our isolation and expose our Western
coast that a foreign proteotorate for the
canal is not necessary and would be danger
GUS to our interests that the enforcement Of
such proteotorate would involve European
Intervention in American affairs, which the
United States could not consent to that, de-
spite the provisions Of the treaty, Great
Britain has exercised dominion over portions
of Central America, thereby making the trea-
ty voidable at the pleasure of the United
States that tho development of this country
during the last thirty years has wholly
changed the conditions which existed when
the treaty was made that the treaty did not
refer to canal across Panama, but to
one across Nicaragua, the persons undertake
ing which enterprise have failed to execute
it and that the United States has a special
treaty with the United States of Colombia,
which involves special relations TO the canal
and the protectorate over it. While Mr..
Frelinghuysen's language is courteous and
diplomatic it is at the same time forcible, and
represents fixed American policy which the
mostlingenious British diplomacy cannot ig.
more or circumvent.

DI.srIbutIOn Of tho Geneva Award.

The Geneva award bill, which has received
the Presidents signature and become a law,
creates "court of commissioners Of Alaba-
ma claims" consisting of three members to be
appointed by the President with the consent
of the senate, and to receive salary Of $4,000
a year. The President is to designate the
presiding judge, and also a counsel to appear
in behalf of the United States The Judges
are required to meet and organize in Wash
ington as soon as practicable after their APP
pointment. The court is to continue in ex-
istenoe two years, but all claims provable I'M
der the act must be filed within six months
from the organization of the court, "or they
shall be held to be waived and barred"
The balance of the Geneva award in the
United States treasury is about 50, 800, 900.
Out of this sum the bill provides for the pay
ment Of two Glasses Of claims-frst, those
for losses caused by the "exculpated cruisers, "
and second, the war premium" claims. The
first class of claimants comprises the uninsur-
ed owners OF vessels destroyed by dozen
Confederate cruisers for whose depredations
the Geneva tribunal decided that Great Bri-
tain was not liable. The amount of their
claims is estimated at about s g, 200, 600. Tho
second class of claimants embracesship own
ers whose vessels were not damaged or de-
stroyed, but who had to pay war risks on ac-
count of Confederate cruisers. These claims
aggregate about 5000, 600. The payment
of all the claims which fall within the scope
of the commission will probably absorb the
entire balance Of the award. The insurance
companies, whose claims for insurance paid
on destroyed ships and captured cargoes
might, il allowed, swallow up the whole sum
in the hands Of the government, are excluded
from the distribution.

In response to a summons from Mr.. Conk-

to go to Albany for that purpose, have at last
come forth The New York Herald publish
es letters from seven of them which agree in
representing their sentiments as to what Mr..
Conkling should do at the time, as unanimous.
They agree also in stating that at a sort of
council of war held at General Arthur's house
in New York, General Sharpe, who now says
that he did not urge Mr. Conkling at all, was
particularly fervid in advising that he should
stand for a reelection and go to Albany to
manage his canvass. The gentlemen publish

Reference to the columns of the press
throughout the state shows that our mention
of the name of Col L. X. Fuller for Lieuten-
ant-Governor meets with hearty approval and
endorsement. So far as we know there will
be no other candidate from this section, and
if our people take care to send the right men
to tho convention Windham county may be
represented on the state ticket. The Rutland
Herald of yesterday in naming the different
persons spoken of for this Office alludes to
the qualifications necessary. We can assure
the people of the state that Col. Fuller pos
sesses the abilities there named as requisite,
and that the list of possible candidates COM
prises the name of no man more fit than he.
From our own Brattleboro people good
send-of for Col. Fuller may come with Pc
culiarly good grace, and we have no doubt
other towns in the county will gladly follow
the lead. Every WindhAm county town

My Dear Brother Charles-I hear through

which 1 am thankful. You certainly deserve
the eommendation of all people who profess
to be Christians for your unwaveTing trust in
Gods power. When you shot the President
as I sincerely believe you did, there then can
be no condemnation on Gods part towards
you, and no condemnation in your own heart
towards yourself, You have nothing to do but
continue as you have from the first trusting
implicitly in God and His protecting care, be-
ing willing to do and to suffer if need be all
that He is pleased to demand of you so shall
you have in His eternal kingdom a still great
or weight of glory. God help you, comfort
you, protect you, aud cheer your every lonely
hour, my dear brother, as He only can. /
shall not relax my efforts in your behalf for a
moment, aud am sure Mr.. Reed will not.

Six thousand emigrants, less six, landed at
Castle Garden, New York, on the last day of
May, this number, never before paralleled in
any twenty-four hours, serving to swell the
total arrivals for the month to more than
ninety thousand, which is also unexampled in
the history of the port. This number-the
exact figures are 9O,O19-is more for this sin.
gle month by several thousand than the i'm
migration for several entire years. For in
stance, in 1876 the years figures were 49,
O35 in 1877, only 65, $685. in 1878, only 70,
sol, and in 1875 the figures for the twelve
months exceeded those for the last month by
only 5000. The nearest approach to the total
for last month was in May 1881, when there
were landed at Castle Garden 76, 791 persons,
but even this is 10, 22s less. At this rate the
arrivals for year would be l ,OsS, 1928, q num-
Der equal to about one-hftieth of the popula.

Decoration day was observed by the peo
pie of East Putney in a manner appropriate
TO the day. Although notice was only given
out the day before, over seventy attended.
The line was formed at Pierces hall, under
the direction of Mr.. S. o. Parker, old soldiers,
school children and citizens proceeding to the
cemetery, where the exercises opened
with singing by the school children under tho
direction of Mrs Norman Cobb, Jr Prayer
by comrade and Rev. N. d. Parsons was fol-
lowed by an appropriate and original address
by comrade Leroy Shelley, after which strong
and forcible remarks were made by Mr.. Par.
sons. The monument of the late Capt. War.
rem Parker, containing the names of all soldiers
who died during the war who enlisted from
this town, was then decorated. Also the grave
of comrade j. w. Larkin, the only soldier
buried here. Fitting tribute was paid by
both speakers TO the noble generosity of Capt
Parker in the erection of this token of his re-
gard for the Union soldiers. The success and
good feeling attending warrants the expecta-
ton that another year will sec larger gath
ering at this part of the town. After the ex-
ercises at the yard the line proceeded to the
hall and then adjourned one year. Much
credit is due Mrs. Cobb and the children for
their aid in singing and furnishing flowers.

Col. Bliss declared that the federal Treasury
had been plundered of more than 5000, 600
and that the government had ample proofs to
show Brady and his accomplices guilty of the
frauds with which they stand charged. He
then proceeded to detail the methods of the
jobbers, showing how the cost of service on
certain routes had been enormously advanced
solely for purposes of spols and without any
gain to the people in the way of increased
postal facilities In two years and half
some four hundred routes operated by ring
of contractors were run up in yearly cost from

In the matter of Mr.. Reeds motion for
rehearing in the case of Guiteau, the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia is unan-
imously of the opinion that the points raised
in the motion were all fully considered and
decided in the decision on the appeal from
the lower court, announced on the 22d of
May, and that so far as that court is concern
cd, it is done with the Guiteau matter. It's
decision is, therefore, to deny the motion for
a rehearing. This undoubtedly ends the
whole matter, so far as the courts are con-
cerned, and Guiteau will in all probability
hang on the last day of the present month.
Mr. Reeds plan is said to be to apply to one
of tho justices of the United States Supreme
Court for writ of habeas corpus to test the
question of usurpation of jurisdiction, but
eminent lawyers think there is no probability
that any member of that court will interfere
in the matter.

President Arthur's visit to New York was
prolonged to last Saturday morning, when he
took the limited express for Washington.
There has been no little curiosity and specu-
lation as to the purpose and significance of
his visit. Every politician believes that it had
some bearing on the Republican candidature
for the New York governorship in the ap-
preaching convention and election. 1t was
noticeable that during his stay of eight days
in the city, the President was almost constant
ly in the company of coterie of so-called
''stalwart" politicians, prominent among
them being ex-Senators Conkling and Plat,
Robert H. Strahan, ex-United States Marshal
Payn, ex-Congressman John D. Lawson,
Barney Biglin, and Police Commissioner
