WASHINGTON, May 5.- There is i change in the position of the Alabar, question since the reoent semi-ofliai publication, in which it was said t! .claims for indirect damages havo n .been and will not be withdrawn. T -Government has not, in its ?tateme or conn ter-statement, asked the tribur. of arbitrators to draw any dislinotit between the two classes of olaims for < reot and indirect damages, but both ha been submitted together, in the ho .that the tribunal will exeroiao the pon -conferred upon it to award ? au lox gross to be paid by Great Britain to t ?United States.

Au amendment in? creasing tho appropriation to nearly h ix millions passed. Au amend meut repeal? ing tho franking privilege failed, by 22 to 29. An amendment forbidding for? mer Government officials from acting as claim agents was lost. In the House, a large number of bills were introduced, to force over Hooper's civil rights bill. Eldridge, by wuy of sarcasm on Kelley und Maynard, Bent up a substitute for tba tariffand tax bill, with the title altered so us to read: "To further iuoreuse taxes und encou? rage monopolies, without adding to the revenue."

NEW YORK, May 6-Evening.-The minority and majority reports iu tho Book Concern scandal were submitted to the Methodist Conference. No aotion. Only one wall of Nibio's Theatre is left standing. A contract was made this noon to have it rebuilt by August. All the scenery of Lalla Rookh, belonging to the Grand Opera Theatre, which had boen transferred to Nibio's, was burned, entailing a loss of $25,000. The differ? ent actors and no tr eas es at Nibio's lose from $400 to $1,000 worth of property, each. A meeting of thc dramatic pro? fession will be held to-morrow, to adopt measures of relief for the sufferers. The various theatres in the city have already tendered benefits to them. The loss to the Metropolitan Hotel entry, by water, is about $50,000. The adjoin? ing building, owned by H. Bradel, was damaged to the extent of $10,000. Se? veral Masonic and other lodges of secret orders loso heavily by the destruction of the hall over Nibio's. This afternoon, tho Manhattan Mar? ket, at the foot of West 31th street, caught fire, and it is feared it will be de? stroyed. It is now burning. The loss will be heavy. It is a new building. The assassination of Capt. Wishart by the Swamp Angels, in the vicinity o'f their stronghold, the swamps of Robe? son County, North Carolina, on Thurs? day, shows that the same spirit of law? lessness and revenge which has hitherto animated these ruffians, is still retained in their midst. Capt. Wishart was ac? costed on the oars at Shoe Heel and a conference sought with him by Stephen Lowrey and Andrew Strong, who pre? tended they wished to surrender them? selves to the authorities, and begged that ho would meet them by special ap? pointment, and, after having plaood them under arrest, interest himself with the Governor in their behalf to obtain a pardon for them, as they desired to leave the country. Wishart leoeived a note from the desperadoes, and, probably be? lieving the outlaws were sincere in what they said, subsequently met them ac? cording to his promise. He did not re? turn alive to tell the story of this meet? ing, but the discovery of his body, rid? dled with buck-shot, proves the victim was treacherously decoyed to the spot and assassinated by preconcerted plans, to satisfy a grudge against him for at? tempting their oapture last year. A suit in the Circuit Court of Georgia for twenty-six years was decided last week, and an appeal taken to the Su? preme Court. Last year's cousus gave Italy over 21,000,000 inhabitants, more than half the numbi r of people in the United States. Theodore Tilton is in a high glee just now, no doubt.

ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS.-Tho worst of tho volcanic eruptions of Mount Vo suvius appears to bo over. Dsspatohes from Naples state that on Sunday the eruption was slowly subsiding. Several new craters had opened, und tho specta? cle, viewed from Naples and from boats and vessels in thc bay, is described as one of awful sublimity. Fortunately the the loss of life is less than was at Arst re? ported, the number killed outright being j now ascertained to bo but twelve. It is said there are no tourists in tho number. All the villages around tho base of the mountain, seven or eight in numbor, are deserted, tho people having dod in teror. King Victor Emanuel hos gone to the scone, to direct operations for the relief of the homeless crowds. During the1 day on Saturday the wholo mountain was concealed from view hythe donan clouds of smoke. - Near Sau Sebastiano there was a slream, sixteen feet deep, of molten lava flowing down, red-hot, towards the town. Tho devastation among the vineyards and farms has I boen terrible. Thousands of acres of cultivated laud uro over-run with ashes and lava. Fortunately for Borne of the villages around tho lower slope of tba mouutain, tho ndvanoo of the river of liquid fire hegau on Sunday to grow slower and slower, and tho molten mass itself began to cool. The advance of the burning stream on Saturday was ut the general rate of about two-thirds of a mile an hour, a movement which has1 nearly ceased. Tho viluges and towns ! which were in most danger were Ponti celli, Cerc?la, Saint George, Porlioi, Torro del Greco, Resina and Boscotre care. Tho loss of olive and ohestnnt groves, and vineyards, is undoubtedly very serious. Ku KLUX HUNTING.-Deputy Marshal Hendricks returned to the city yesterday afternoon, from Cherokee County, Geor? gia, whither he went some days ago for tho purpose of arresting several persons ohargsd with Ku Klaxism. He made the arrests, but says that on his way baok he was assailed by a orowd who rescued four of the prisoners. When he arrived at Atlanta, another mob, headed by several oflloials, came out and took the other prisoners away. From the same source, we learn that in one of these affrays a deputy marshal of Georgia was severely wounded.-Charleston Notes. -. - A man in Athol, N. H., has been steal? ing wood for eighteen years from one of bis neighbors, and the Transcript now threatens him with exposure if he steals another stick. Only fifty-five miles of track remain to be laid on the Wilmington, Oharlotto and Rutherford Railroad, between Wil? mington and Charlotte. A recent contested election in England cost one of the candidatos $53,629, and the other 842,168. ?patch of C'nrl Schutz. The following ie tho speech of tho great German, Carl ?churz, delivered beforo tho Cincinnati Convention, upun bit! being elected permanent President. It ia replete with that eloqnenco, power and high patriotic tono that characterize all the oratorical efforts ol thia greatest of America'a adopted ?ona: Nobody can survey this vast and enthuei aatioaaaembly, gathered from all parta of the republio, without an emotion ot aatoniahmont and hope. Astonishment considering tho apontaniety of the Impulse wfaloh hus brought it together, and hope considering the groat purpoao for which lt has mot. Tho republio may well congratulate itself upon the iact that such a mooting waa possible. Look at tho circumstances from which it has sprung. We saw the American people jost iasued from a great and successful atruggto, an I in tho full pride of their national atrongth threat? ened with new evils and dangora of an in? sidi?os nature, and the masses of the popu? lation apparently not aware of thom. We saw jobbery and corruption stimulated to unusual audacity by tho opportunities of a protracted civil war, invading tho publie service of the Government, as well as almost all movements of the social body; and wo saw a public opinion most deplorably lenient in its judgment of public and private dis honosty. We saw the Government indulging ia wanton disregard of tho law* of tho land, and resorting to daring assumptions of un? constitutional power; and wu saw the peoplo, apparently, at least, acquiescing with rec?? lese lovity in tranBgrcs&ioua threatening tb< very life of our free iuatitutiona. Wo sari those in authority with tyrannic.a insolence thrust thu h.w.d of power through the vast machinery of the public service into local ant private aff?rs; and we saw the innumerabli mass of their adherents accept those cn croachnu nts upon their indor.endonco with out protest or resentment. We saw men li the highest placea of the republic emplo; their power and Opportunities for Hellish ad' vantage, thud Stimulating the demorli/.atioi of our political ?ito by thoir conspicuous ox ampio, ami thc loud chorus of partisan eyco pliancy drown the voice ot honest criticism We saw part of ?mr common country, wilie) hid been con valse.I by adistmtroiiH rebellion most grievously suneriug inna consequence of civil war; und wo aaw iho haughty spiri in power refusing to lift up those who ha gone astray aud were uow Buffering, by polioy of generous conciliation and state* mausliip of common sonso.

Ile who calmly and in partially surveyed this spectacle could nc fail to be deeply alarmed, not only at tb wrongs that had been and were being pcrpi tratod, but at tho subjugation of tho popule spirit which did not rito up against thoo The question might well have been aakei Have i ii o American peoplo become so utter indifferent to their truo interests, to their m tional harmony, to the purity of thoir polit cal life, to the integrity of their free instit) lions, to tho vory honor of tho Ainericii nama, that they should peru.it themselves 1 bo driven like a dock of sheep by those wi aaiiimo to lord it over them? That qucetk has now found an answer. Nol the virtu tho spirit of independence-, the love of li bert the l'.opuolican prido of tho American peop are not dead yet. Nor do they mean to 1 thom die, and that answer is given in thund tones by the convention of American free nu hero assembled. Indeed, those who monti ago Urst raised thou* voices, did BO with i abiding faith that theao appeals could not 1 main without responso, nut tho volume that response has now far exceeded tho anti) pin ions and tho crust of narrow pre judices selfish partisanship, which but yestcrd seemed io stop every freo pulsation of t heart, is suddenly burst abunder. The J triotic citizen rises abovo the partisan; hegi ii to breathe again a? freemen; we da again to ?atl things by their right name*; have once more tho couralie to break thron the deceptions with which the popular mi has beou befogged; we feel onco muru ll our convictions of right and wrong aro c own, and that oar votes bolong to tho coi try, and thus wo detiautly Bet our acusa dutv against tho arrwganco of a power li tho buglo-blaat of dooins-iUy. The sum nu is resounding in the North and South II East and Weet. Tho conscience of the p pie, which seemed dead, has arisen tn overy point of tho compass; tho hosts i tlockiug together, and hero wo aro. Let hope, aye I do hope, with fearless determi tiou to do our whole duty to our country, would seem to-day as if nothing could wi stand tho movement BO irresistibly iuspirii Indeed, tho breath of victory is in the v air which surrounds us, and that victory \ not encape from our graep if wo aro true our mission, lint you must hear in mind, w mo, that if iu this hour of onthnsiaam, wi our hearts aro big with proud prescntimei I address to you a word of soberness.

Wo can cn corruption in our public concerns; wo < give tho republic pure and honest gove mont; wo can revive tho authority of laws; wo can reetoro full vigor to tho cou tutional safeguards of our liberties; we i infuse a higher moral spiiit into our poid life; we can ro-aniinats in tho hearts of whole peoplo, in every section of the lam fraternal and proud national feeling. We do all this, but we can do it only if, by thr ing behind us the sel?sh spirit of polii trash, wo obey tho purest and loftiest ?usp lion of tho popular uprising which sent here. A great opportunity it is-great as noblest ambition might desire; but cqu great, I?T, to my mind, fearlul is the ru?) sibility it bringe with it, Au opportunity this ia a momentous period in tho histor a nation. An uprising of the peoplo eucl wo behold will not occur every day nor b\ year, for it must spring from tho Hponti ous impulso of the popular mind. If disappoint tho high expectations brm forth by that spontaneous impulse, you I not only loat ~ gres.', opportunity, but havo struck a blow at tho confidence the plo havo in themsolvos, and for a long I popular reform movements will not rise a, under the weight of tho discredit which will havo brought upon them.

We have < together to give ahapo, point and prac productive force to this great upheaval o popular conscience.

If you want to know how re? forms aro not L xecuted, look at those now in power. You will hardly excel tbem in the profusion of high-sounding professions, and you w^ill never oxcol thom in tho art how not to do it. Reform wilt not come ont of office in the hands of thoae who oil her do not un demand it, or do not care for it. If you mean reform, entrust the work to none but tho?e who underhand and honestly do love and caro more for it than their own personal ends. Pardon mo if I cxpreas myself ou this point with freedom and frankness. I have not, I assure you, come here for the purpose of urging tho olainie or advancing the inter? nat of any one man against all others. I have come hore with sincere and ardent de? votion to a oiiUBO, and to uso tay best endea? vors to have that cause put under the care of mon who aro devoted to it with equal ein corily, and who possess those qualities of mind and heart which will mako it safe in their koeping. 1 earnestly deprecate the crj we have heard so frequently, "Anybody to beat Grant." There is something moro wanted tban to beat Grant; not anybody who might by cheap popularity, or by astute bargains and combi? nations, or by all the tricks of political wire? pulling, manage to ?crave together votea enough to be ducted President. We do not merely want another, but we want a hottet President than we now have. We do not want a more chango of persons in the administra? tion of thu Government; we want the over? throw ot a pornicioue syBtem; we want thc eradication of flagrant abus?e; we want thc infusion of a loftier moral spirit into our noli tical organism; we want a Government v. hid tho boat people ot tho country will be prout of. Not anybody can accomplish that, and therefore, away with tho cry "Anybody t< boat Grant," a cry too paltry, too nnworth; of tho groat enterprise in which wo are en gagod. I do not atrugglo for the moro punish ment of au opponent ur for a temporary loam of power. This ia to mo a thing no lesa mon important even than our suceras in this cam paign, and that ia that the American peopl shall not bo disappointed in tho fruits whicl our victory is to bear. If wo should fail t* select a mau who will carry ont the boni?con reform? we contemplate, then-let ns say i boldly-it would bo bsttor had thia movemen never boen undertaken. For tho continuanc of tltoao in power who postee? it now wool mean only a reformatory movement d?ferre and an opportunity still; while our failure no' would mean a groat reform movement sun to tho level of a farce, a great opportnnit lost, and the hope of tho people turned int diacouragoment and disggBt. Let us discar at least tho fatal error into which many seat to have fallen, that no statesmanship is r< quired to conduct the affairs of a great gc Ycrnment. I candidly believe the people ar waking up to tho truth, for, unless I groatl I mistake tho spirit of this day, what the peopl I now most earnestly demand is not that mei good intentions but that a superior i a toll genoe, coupled with superior virtue, shoal guide our affair?; not that merely an honei and a popular mau, but that a statesman t put at the head of our Government. In seleoting candidates^ for office, polit cians are accustomed to diacuss tbe questic of availability. What doos availability mea in our case? Let us look for the best men v, have, and from among the very best let i ?elect the strongest. The people earnest deair? a thorough reform of our Governmen they want not only a change, but a ohanf for the better; thoy want aleo, therefore, to I aeaured that it will be for the better, and th tho beat candidate is likely to be the mo available. If wo present men to the suffraj of the poople whoso character and names a poal to tho loftiest instincts and asp?ratio of tho patriot citizen, wo shall have on o aide that which ought to bo, and now I tra will ho, the ruling arbiter of politicalqontoal tho coi lidence of the nation. If that dono, then auccoas will be certain; then i can appeal to tho minds and hearts, to t loftiest ambition of the people with the arguments and entreaties which spring ot from a clear conviction of right. Then shall not appeal in vain for their support those of our fbllow-citizens who hitherto wc eoparated from us by partv divisions, who c aire hi neatly to work for the best intereata tho country in this crisis, and whom we sh welcome with fraternal geeting in thia stn gie for a great cause, whether they call the selves Democrats or Republicana. Then fhall successfully overcome those prejudii which now cou'rout UH, and the inaidu accusations that thia great convention ii mure gathering of dieappointed and gr?i politicians will fall harmless at our feet, wo Bhall h .ive demonstrated by our act that we were guided by the purest and m patriotic of motivea, and this can bs do Let us doapiso as unworthy of onr cause 1 tricky manipulations by which, to the de ment of tho republic, political bodies have frequently been controlled. Let ut?, in face of the great things to be accomplish rise abovo all party considerations.
