GENEVA, July 27.-The reoeat inter?
ruption of the sittings of the board of
arbitration oooarred through the neces?
sary re-examination of the English law
on questions regarding the construction
of privateering vessels ia British ports;
aaa also investigation as to whether the
British admiralty used sufficient dili?
gence ia preventing these vessels from
going to sea. Of foar oases advanced,
England repudiates three; and in the
fourth, she coutends that the Admiralty
acted promptly, although the police he?
sitated to take proper steps to prevent
her departure. The oourt is also consi?
dering the question of allowing interest
on the amounts awarded. It is stated
that the majority of the board are unfa?
vorable to such allow anco. It is regard?
ed as probable that, after a careful in?
vestigation of each case, the tribunal
will fix the amount of indemnity to be
paid by England, at a gross sum. Ohas.

HONOR YOUR LABOR.-Do not be
above your business. He who turns his
nose up at his work, quarrels with his
bread and butter. He ?B a poor smith
who is afraid of his own spark; there is
some discomfort in all trades except
chimney sweeping. If sailors gave np
going to sea because of the wet; if
bakers left off baking bread because it
was hot work; if plowmen would not
plow because of oold, and tailors would
not make our olothes, for fear of prick?
ing their fingers, what a pass we would
come to. Nonsense, my fine fellow,
there's no shame about any honest call?
ing; don't be afraid of soiling your
hands, there's plenty of soap to be had.
All trades are good to good traders.
Luoifer matches may pay well if you sell
enough of them. You cannot get honey
if you are frightened at the boes, nor
plant oom if yon are afraid to get mud
on your boots. When bars of iron melt
under the South winds; when you dig
the fields with tooth-picks, blow ships
along with a fan, manure the crops with
lavender water, and grow plum oakes in
flower-pots, there will be a fine time for
all, but until the millennium oomes wo
Bhall have a deal to put np* with.
So it seems that the rebel archives,
purohased by tho Government for
$75,000, are to be published as a cam?
paign document by the Grant party.
There has been already a great deal of
history writing at publio expense, of
whioh the most shining example is Mr.
Badeau's nae of War Department records
and clerks in making his eminent work.
Bot this rare and curious publication is
a new attempt "to fire the Northern
heart," for the net sum of $75,000. The
slender pretext that the purchase of the
doonmehts waa made so that the treason
of rebel claimants for damages from the
Government might be exposed, disap?
pear". It is intended to reopen the old
sore again; we are to have the o i ty-ber la?
ing, the well-poisoning and the conta?
gion-spreading business all retold, for
fear people might forget there had been
a war, and make up their minds to live
at peace with their countrymen. Is this
worth while? Most these dead-and-gone
quarrell be revived everlastingly that
demagogues may thrive?

Ilevercly Jo tina?n Compares Grant ?sd
Greeley.
Ia responso to a rcqneat of Congress?
man James Brooks, of New York, for an
expression of bis political views, the
Hon. Reverdy Johnson bas written a
long letter, exhaustively discussing the
present issues, iu whioh he says:
BALTIMORE, July 15, 1872.
The question with the people now is,
whioh of the two will they have for their
next President, U. S. Grant or Horace
Greeley? The former, during the past
three years, in the judgment of all im?
partial men, has proved his utter unfit?
ness for the office; the latter, during a
perid of more than thirty years, as the
editor of a leading journal, has proved
I himself, in the judgment of all impar?
tial and competent men, to be a man of
extraordinary ability, perfect patriotism
and incorruptible integrity. Has not
General Grant demonstrated his unfit?
ness for the Presidency? His whole
career os President has been full of blun?
ders, to uso no milder term. A few in?
stances wiil establish this statement:
1. His selection o! his first Cabinet
waa made without consultation with any
honest and experienced friend, and with?
out regard to merit. He nominated as
the head of the Treasury a highly re?
spectable merchant of New York, in
ignorance of the fact that by the 8th
eeotion of the Act of the 22d of Septem?
ber, 1789, such an appointment is ex?
pressly prohibited, and this upon
grounds of the dearest policy-the pro?
vision being' that no person concerned
in trade, directly or indirectly, is eligible
to any office created by that Act, and
after finding his error, he foolishly re?
quested Congress to modify the provi?
sion so as to enable him to make the ap?
pointment.
2. His selection of his relatives foi
high and important traste, at home and
abroad, obviously without ascertaining
whether they were fit, and his refnsal tc
remove many of them, after their unfit
ness had boen plainly exhibited.
3. His negotiations for the aunexutior.
of the Dominican Republic, throngh nc
minister selected with the approval ol
tbe Senate, and bis undignified lobby
ing with Senators to procure its ratifica
tion; and his impertiment and insulting
message to Congress, after the treat]
was rejected, in whioh he designated tin
rejection as an Act of "folly." Iii
usurpations of the war power in threat
ening Hay ti, having the means at ham
of making good his threat, if they conti
nued their hostilities against Dominica
and doing this not only while the treat;
was under consideration by the Senate
but after they had rejected it.
4. His open and shameless ase of hi
power of patronage to support his per
sonal administration and to secure a re
election.
5. His compelling Secretary Cox,
gentleman of ability, who faithfull
served his country dui ing the war as
general officer, and who was administei
ing the Interior Department to the sabit
faotion of tho country, to resign, becaus
be had refused to tolerate the assessmer.
apon the salaries of his clerks for part
purposes, thereby countenancing th
legality and propriety of such asses:
meats. No greater violation of dut
ooald be perpetrated.
6. His not permitting, but virtual!
ordering, the members of his Cabin?
and bureau officers to canvass the Stat?
where elections have been or may be di
pending in his behalf-thus seriously ii
terferiug with the public business whit
they alone wore appointed to attend ti
and for which alone they are paid.
7. In not only disapproving of tl
acta of Congress known as tho Euforc
ment Acts of 1870 and 1871, but io rec
lessly currying them oat by means of tl
military.
8. By hi J otter disregard of tho righ
of the States and of the people. 1
holding the latter still as enemies, ai
ander this pretence continuing the mi
tary occupation of some of the Statt
and not iatorfering in any degree wi
the unconstitutional, reckless and cc
rapt governments which, from tho fit
to the present time, have plunder
those States, involving them in aime
hopeless bankruptcy.
9. His management of our foreign r
lati?os. His management of tba A
bama claims ander the Washingt
treaty. It is uafortuaately but too tr
that his conduct in this respect, frc
the moment that the difficulty present
itself to the period when it was remov
ia the maaner just stated, has but serv
to impair our character abroad and in<
tify us at home, ia makiag the world,
one time, believe that we wore a nutt
of sharpers, and at another, a nation
blockheads.
10. His conduct and the conduct
the party ia Congress and out of it,
whom he is supported, ia extending I
powers of the General Government
yond those delegated, in direct anta
nism to rights and powers not only in!
rent in the States and the people of t
States, but expressly reserved to th
by the Constitution itself.
In this enumeration of the objeclu
to the election of President Grant, I
not desire to impugn his motives. I
willing to concede that they are go
and that he believes them to be pa
otic; but my conviction is, and, if I
oapablo of jadgmeut, the facta whiol
have stated demonstrate its Bouudm
that, conceding his motives to bo go
he does not know what the Constitu?
is, and is entirely ignorant of tho prii
pies whioh should govern a republic 1
ours.
I proceed now to submit to you sc
observations in relation to Mr. Gree
In the first place, his love of com
cannot bo doubted. His ability, i
played in the arduous position of
editor of a leading journal for \
maoy years, the thousands and huudr
of thousands who have been bis const
readers will readily admit. Tbat he I
at times, inouloated doctrines wi
many good and able men have thou
unsound, is, no doubt, true. But v
statesman has not?
His opinion ou tho doctrine of protec?
tion is now contested by many men of
ability and patriotism. Whether his
policy is sound or not is a point upon
whioh even able meu differ. But this is
certain, that when Mr. Greeley adopted
it he had the support of some of the
ablest of our statesmen, having at their
head Henry Clay, a uume never men?
tioned in theheariugof Americans with?
out admiration and gratitude. If Mr.
Greeley has erred, it should be held to
be some extenuation that he erred in
such company. That his opinion is
honestly entertained, and has been main?
tained with great ability, must be con?
ceded. But does Gen. Grant hold the
opposite opinion? or has he any opinion
on this nioe problem of political econo?
my? If he bas one (I've no idea he has,
his studies never having run on that
line,) he certainly never has expressed it,
and from his enforced reticence, if he
was to do so, would not be able to give
his reasons. But why should Mr. Gree?
ley's opinion on this point be any objec?
tion td his election? He has accepted
the nomination he received at Cincinna?
ti, and with an engagement to act upon
the principien therein announood. One
of them is. I'quote it, tbat "recognizing
that there is in our midst honest but ir
reconcilable differences of opinion, witb
regard to the respective systems of pro
tection and free trade, we remit the dis
cussioo of the subject to the people it
their Congress Districts, and to the deci
sion of Congress thereon, wholly free o:
Executive interference or dictation."
This gives to the friends of free tradi
an opportunity of satisfying the peoph
that their doctrine in the correct one, anc
that if Congress shall so decide, their de
cisi?n will uot be disapproved of by Mr
Greeley. Whether free trude or protec
tion is to receive the sanction of Con
gress will not depend upon the opinioi
of the President, even if he has one
and is disposed to act upon it. He cai
effect nothing except as he may bo abl
to influence Congress by bia patronage
and thia no man flt for the office wouli
attempt, because to do so would be a pal
pable effort to corrupt thut department
That Mr. Greeley would not take such
step is certain, because he is honest, an
because the platform upon which h
agrees tu stand prohibits it.
Beforo the war, and occasionally dui
ing its continuance, his treatment of tb
South was believed by many to hav
beeu unnecessarily harsh. But in thi
no one seriously questioue.il his motivei
They were in no respect personal, c
other than patriotic. The war ove:
what hus been his course? From tb
first moment to the present hour be ht
earnestly desired, and has done all in h
power to effect it, to restore peace an
prosperity to the South. A constant au
ardent friend cf geueral amnesty, and i
universal suffrage, he cannot but hai
commended himself to the good opiuic
of tho white and colored citizens of th
region. The latter, perhaps, are mo
iudebted to him and tho Hon. Charl
Sumner for the rights now secured
them than to any other two men in tl
country. His generosity and kind r
gard for Southern men was strongly
lustrated by his becoming one of t!
bail of Mr. Jefferson Davis, which te
miuated his cruelly protracted impriso
ment. For this step he was deuounc
by the Radicals of his party, and pu
tioularly by such of them as belong
the Uuion League of Now York. Th
proposed his expulsion; and who c
forget, who has ever read it, the proi
letter of defiance which he addressed
tho League on the 23d of May, 18G7?
that letter ho quoted extracts from t
Tribune to Bhow how decided his opini
was that those who had beeu engaged
the insurrection should be enfranchise
and their estates exempted from cont
catiou. He justified haviug become i
uurity for Mr. Davis, und in bis lett'
among other things, said: "Your
tompt to base a great, enduring party
the hate and wrath necessarily engend
ed by a bloody civil war, is us thou
yon should plant a colony on au icebt
which had somehow drifted into a tro
cal ocean. I tell you hero that, out o
life earnestly devoted to tho good
haman kiud, your children will sel
my going to Richmond and signing tl
bail-bond as the wisest act, and will i
that it did more for freedom and 1
mauity than all of yon were compel
to do, though you had lived to the i
of Methuselah. "
You will have thus seen what I th
of the present political condition of
country. Uuless I am greatly mistak
it must give to every unprejudiced,
telligent and patriotic man much auxi
and alarm. How is this anxiety t
alarm to be removed? By removing
cause of it. By refusiug a re-elect
to General Grunt, to whom, in a gi
measure, if not exclusively, it is owi
and by placing in the Presidential ol
Mr. Greeley, whose entire life has
hibited his generous qualities, hts g
ability, his brave patriotism and his
suspected integrity. To bo rich, he
accept no presents, but would scoruf
reject them if offered. He has
scores of relutives to provide for oui
the publio fuuds by plucing then
offices for which they are grossly
oompetent, and, if be had, he woald
so place them. He will not exert his
trouage to influence State elections c
secure a re-election for himself. He
not permit the publio funds, by mt
of a tax upon thu salaries of his offic
to be used for party purposes. He
not stiffer his secretaries or their sube
nates to abandon their posts of duty
their attention to the publio businet
traverse State after State on election
ing visits, so as to bring the iufluenc
office in conflict with freedom of <
Hons. He will seo that onr foreign ;
tions are so managed as to give In
and not disgrace to the nation. He
not tolerate the uso of the military
the control of the eleotive franol
He will not trample upon tho right
the Staten or the people by deda
States to be in rebellion when they
not. And my hope is to live to seo
day when these vital changes will be
made; when all 8olioito.de about the fate :
of our country will be quieted; when
peace and prosperity will be secured to i
the entire nation; when the guaranteed i
rights of the citizen will be protected, <
tho legitimate powers of the States '.
maintained, and the authority of the ;
General Government exerted only under
the restrictions of the Constitution. In <
a word, when the Constitution be- ,
queathed to us by our fathers shall in all
things be observed, and when we will \
have a President intelligent and patriotic ,
enough to keep his official oath to "pre?
serve, proteot and defend it."
When all these things shall ocour, and !
not until then, will oar prosperity and
power be renewed, and our oooutry be- \
come, as it was in former days, the won
der and admiration of- the world.

. THE FEMALE COLONEL GIIAFIIIN.-Sir
Toby, who was permitted to inspect the ?
female Col. Claflin, in full regimentals, '(
at a private seance the other evening, .
pronounces the report that her beauty is
fading utterly false. Her gallant bru?
nettes claim that she is the handsomest
officer of the National Guards, and Sir 1
Toby feels certain that when she makes \
her public appearance a cheval the gene?
ral opinion will confirm the judgment
of her colored braves. 1
It appears that the recent reverse of
Baez, President of Santo Domingo, 1
amounted to a defeat, which he sus
fained at the hands of Cabrai. The lat?
ter, however, retros ted from his ad van- 1
tageous position, having no more am?
munition. Baez is reported to be :
stayed and comforted ia these trying oir- i
camstncces by the hope that his country <
will yet be annexed to the United States.
His confidence in President Grant's pow?
er and pertinacity is truly sublime.
HORRIBLE DEATH OF A Lrrri.E Box.- ,
In Selma, Ala., on Tuesday, a little boy,
son of Dr. Russell McCord, while at play
in the yard, at bia grandmother's resi?
dence, flying a kite, walked backward
into a kettle of boiling syrup. Before
he could be extricated by his mother and
others alarmed by his shrieks, the little
fellow was so horribly barned that
death relieved his agony ia about three
hours after tho accident.
It is bad enough behavior for a woman
to run off and leave her husband to get
on through life without her assistance,
but when one of the legs with whioh he
must take the journey is of wood, it is a
"fiendish outrage" for her to carry that
away. An English woman has done this
very same thing, and the poor husband
is left with but one leg to stand upon
and no wife to help him along.
A few days B?nce a "wee bit of a boy'
astonished his mother. She had occa?
sion to chastise him slightly, for some
offence he had committed. Charley sat
very quietly in his chair for some time
afterward, no doubt thinking profound?
ly. At last he spoke oat thas: "Muz
zer, I wish pa'd get anuzzer housekeep?
er; I'so got tired seeiu' you around 1"
The physicians who luminously dis?
coursed at the Stokes trial will be grati?
fied to hear from the lips of the jurymen
that the intelligent body "gave the
medical testimony no consideration
whatever." It is worth while to be a
doctor when the road to professional
immortality is so easy.
It is said to be a curious fact that
while foxes, cranes and squirrels are
abundant on the Indiana side of the
Ohio River, they are never seen on the
Kentucky side; * and, strange enough,
the grey squirrel, to befound anywhere
on the Kentucky side, is rarely or never
seen on the Indiana shore.
Jack Hairston, of Danville, Va., re?
cently had his skull crushed and portions
of it driven into his brain by a stone
thrown from a blast. He was trepanned,
and three days after, walked twenty-five
miles under a broiling sun, to visit his
