. NEW YORK, May 4.-The trial of Lil

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.been and will not be withdrawn.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. Tue suggestion that
would not ask the tribunal for a
.moneyed consideration for indirect <
mages, provided Great Britain wot
not olaim compensation for similar in
? ries under like ci rou instances, was d
cussed by prominent gentlemen of bc
. countries, before the intimation . v
made to Great Britain that we woi
-accept it aa au easy and saiiafaob
solution of the present difficulty; bu
appears, from conversations in proi
nent oiroles, that Great Britain does :
. deem it necessary to officially make
declaration or to enter into such a sti
dation, for the reason that she has ne
.admitted the principio of claims for it
.root damages as between nations,
?adheres to her position in the quest
as heretofore expressed.

mer Government officials from acting as

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

Foreign Relations Committee, reported
his exclusion from Ibu conference at the
State Department, but it was decided
that the House could tuko no cognizance,
and the subject was dropped. General
Young got an amendment to tho defi?

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

This afternoon, tho Manhattan Mar?
ket, at the foot of West 31th street,

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

as a candidate for President.

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.

The following ie tho speech of tho great

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<

those in authority with tyrannic.a insolence

The question might well have been aakei
Have i ii o American peoplo become so utter

Wo havo a grand opportunity before u

give tho republic pure and honest gove

infuse a higher moral spiiit into our poid
life; we can ro-aniinats in tho hearts of

fraternal and proud national feeling. We
do all this, but we can do it only if, by thr

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,

that auch should be tho result of our doi
it ia possible, if wo do not riso to tho

tat ua, I entroat you, not IOBO sight u
fact that great reforms, tho overthrow
vetorate abases, the establishment of i
ter order of things, aro not accomplish
more promises and declarations, but re
tho wise ?nd energetic action of statesmen,
if thia is to be truly a reform movement, ana
it bu not merely ou paper; bat it must bo
embodied in tho men we entrust with tho
Ftower to infuse tho spirit of reform into po
it?eal action. If you want to know how re?
forms aro not L xecuted, look at those now in

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?

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. I
ennui friendship and State pride are nc
sentiments; but what is personal friends!
what is State pi ide, compared to the gr
iluiy wo owe to our common country and
awl ul responsibility resting upon our acti
AH sensible men,wo li now that not every
of UH can hu gratititd by tho choleo of
favorite. Many of in will have to be di?
pointed; hut iii thia solemn hour, our hoi
rhould know butouo favorito, and that is
American republic.
Pardon mo for theao words of warning
entreaty. I trust nobody will consider tl
miitplnccd. I fervently hope tho reBult of
diiiticrutious will ?how that thoy were
I spoken in vain. I know that they 1:
(.pruhg from thu most anxious desiro ti
I what is beM for our country, and thus I
peni to yon with all the fervor of anx
I earnestness. Wo stand on the threshold
groat victory, and victory will surely bo i
if we truly deserve it.
