LONDON, September 10.-The Adver? tiser this morning, expresses, in strong terms, its dissatisfaction with the results of the labors of the Geneva arbitrators. It says: "Tho plain English of it is that the British Government has allowed the Americans to bully us out of ?3,000,000 or ?1,000,000, and thon modestly con? gratulates us upon paying the amount on the Battlement of claims for which, a few weeks ago, it was aflirmed England was neither legally nor morally liable."

Morrow returned from the South late last night. Troops remain at tho scene of the Indian troubles. At a council with the hostile chiefs, in San Pete County, the Indians positively refused to return to their reservations. They said they had left it because they were starv i Lg. They thought they might as well be killed by soldiers. The agents, they said, were liars and thieves. Gen. Mor? row notified them that they mast return, promising to give them food on the way and full supplies at the reservation. The . chiefs finally consented, but said thej would return to the valley if they were not fed.. Gen. Morrow reports a reign of terror in San Pete County. The peo? ple were wholly at the mercy of the Bavages, and the arrival cf troops was hailed with tears of .joy. If Indians are now properly cared for at the reservation, there will be no moro trouble. If not, war must come. NEW YORK, September 10.-Tin Herald's Geneva special Bays the state ment that only ?3,000,000 were awardec the United States, has been offioiali* deolared to bo incorrect.

DEAR SIR: I am iu receipt of jour let? ter of tbe 4th instant, extending to me, by your Committee, a pressing iuvitatiou to attend a grand mass convention of thu veteran soldiers, to be held in tbe city of Pittsburg, ou the 17th instant.

I know of no class of citizens better entitled to moet in convention, and t J have weight accorded to their views, than the veteran soldiers who risked their lives for the honor and perpetuity of their country. I am sure your counsels will be marked by wisdom and patriotism, and that the meeting of so many comrades will bo a joyous and an advantageous one.

At a regalar monthly meeting of the Charleston Typographical Society, held ou Saturday evening lust, tho following correspondence having been read, was ordered spread on the minutes of '.ho sooiety and published iu the daily morn? ing press. Tho letter of the committee embodies fully the political creed of the great party now supporting Mr. Greeley for the highest gift ut the disposal of tho nut iou, and emauating as it does from a body composed of as much intelligence as the Charleston Typographical Society oau boast-a body representing in tho very eradlo of tho rebellion, perhaps to a greater extent than any other, tho feel? ings and sentiments of tho entire South? ern press-u body hitherto at political antagonism with Mr. Greeley-all this, together with Mr. Greeley's terse and satisfactory roply to tho committee, seem to render the publication of both documents, from this particular point, not only in complete hurmouy with thc best throbbings of tho popular heart ol the nation, but as significant also, of B determination bete, to dash to forgetful ties? in the futuro every emotion and action calculated to keep yawning tht chasm that already, by fur too long, hat kept us as the people of a common coun try distracted and disunited. We hore give the letters iu full: CHARLESTON, S. C., Aug. 5, 1872. HON. HORACE GREELEY-HIGHLY RE?

JAMES H. MORRELL, F. DAWSON, JAMES RONAN, Co in m i Charleston Typographical Soci Charleston, S. C. Mn. O'CONOR'S POSITION BRIEFLY CON? SIDERED.-Tuero is oue peculiarity in the attitude of Mr. O'Conor which we trust will be pondered with the greatest gravi? ty by tbe people of the South. In his survey of tbe field (und a moro narrow observation was never taken by a gentle? man supposed to bo a statesman) bo dis? poses of tbe wrongs, tho sufferings, the hopes, tho fears and aspirations of this war-blasted, oarpet-bag-ridden section in about twenty lines. Nor does ho do us the justice to pause oven for oue moment to discuss our condition. Wbat be says of tho South ?3 introduced parentheti? cally, when he compares Grunt and Gree? ley, with an evident inclination in favor of tho former. Now, after our many wrongs, what shall wo think of the states? man (?) who, in an elaborate letter, ig? nores our sufferings? Can he have any genuino sympathy with UN? Cun he havo auy cluim on our heads or hearts? We answer no. To concur with him will bo practically to support Grant, foi he who is not for us in this conflict is against us. To feel our heurts warm to? ward him would bo akin to acknowledg m eu ts on the part of tho sheep in th< shambles should it lick the hand whicl was stretched forth'to give au audi tiona impulse to the upraised arm of tin butcher. So far from awarding hin sympathy, or feeling toward him at emotion of gratitude, wo reproach bia with having deliberately interposed be tween the people of the South and thei only hope of deliverance from the sys tem nuder which they have been bur dened with debts of ?215,000,000, ant oppressed with dragonnades as cruel ai those under which France once suffered He admits, by implication, that Geo Grant has inflicted "misery" on us, am of this, unhappily, there is no doubt but in defiance of the current foots o our history, and in the face of analogy he tells us, with tho most astoundin, composure, that tho probabilities o fie as a "blank Olympiad" on one hand, a "against four years of undefinable act: vity on tho other." This is absolu tel preposterous. Mr. O'Conor knows the Gen. Grant has recently refused to pal don a few old and some dying men, no fretting out their lives among a gref mass of Kn Klux prisoners at the Nortt He knows that a corrupt judioiary obey his orders in the Sooth, and that we ai systematically robbed und oppressed b Grant's orders. He knows that tl peaceful sentiment propounded by M Greeley has been protested against by member of Grant's Cabinet, and that tl canvass is conducted at the North on wi issnes; and yet, ho, the New York r former, can see no reason why we shoo support Mr. Greeley, who denounces i "thieves" the men who have increase our indebtedness over 8200,000,0001 M O'Couor's letter is an insult to the inte ligence and an outrage to the feelings the South. He really propouuds i remedy for our sufferings. Tho causo local liberty is asserted by the ooalitio and this fundamental principle, if i established, affords ns immediate ho of relief, and in many cases relief abe lute, and at once. In support of his curions views, ', writes a speculative letter, which dc him no sort of credit, either as a plead? a statesman, or a man of feeling. At respectable pleader would have avoid his surplussage about restricting t rights of government to contract deb for that is not an issue in the canvai and can only be reached by amendi the Constitution, which authorizes Cc gresB to "borrow money." A statesman would have realized t oondition of tho South and adapted hi self to it at once, for reconstruction fi nishes the problem which we aie n engaged in solving, and its result i pends entirely on the formula adoptee whether that of Grunt or Greeley, mau of feeling would have taken broader view. He would have recall tho cruel wrongs, outrages and oppr sions under which wo have suffered, o in a more modest and humane frame mind than Mr. O'Conor has exhibit he would have considered our wish our hopes and our endeavors in t campaign. But, uol Mr. O'Conor his calm elevution disposes of the Sou incidentally, and by way of parenthe in a few lines, and avows his unaltera fidelity to Democracy. Now, let us what thu Democracy of this country done for us in the lust thirteen yoi and then soe how far we aro bouut follow Mr. O'Couor's loud. Our Noi oru brethren deluded us with thu crj principle, and declared they would at homo if coercion was uttempted, wheu war began, wo found them on front, flank and rear, engaged in esl ltshing their reputation for "loyal We mot our Democratic brethren every battle-field, from Generals in-C down to the private soldiers. App* thou, like that of Mr. O'Conor, in ft of his party, fall on idle ears in South. We desire tho restoration local liberty, ns far as it may bo r vered. Wo desire to seo tho machii of government put to its logitic uses. Wo desire to seo public robin stoppod. We wish to escape tho ll Good J udgos aud the bayonets. In word, wo desire peace and tranquil and the election of Mr. Greeley proa us this. Indeed, if it did not, sue the dreadful extremity of many Stat? the South, that they would in this c embody their political philosophy in despairing cry of "uuythiug fu chango!" and trust God for the re Aud it is in such a wretched couditic tho people on this side of the Pote that Mr. O'Couor lends tho weight o pure reputation und distinguished t to tho more than questionable movei at Louisville, to which he pledgei support without roservel He enjc large revenue, au ample fortune, luxuries of life, and sits under his vine and fig tree with none to make afraid. He oan afford four more y or a dozen of Grant's rule; bot we not, and iu losing sight of this, O'Conor has shown more devotio abstractions than to the cause of st ing humanity. The Levite and tho priest who passed the wounded traveler, who on hiB journey to Jericho fell among thieveB, were hoth philosophers; and in this business, Mr. O'Conor has shown himself worthy to travel down to posterity in their company. [Norfolk Virginian. SOME THINGS THAT GREELEY NEVER DID.-It is quite true, as the Grantites tell us, that Grant han done several things that Greeley never did, and never could have done. These short? comings and inabilities extend beyond the sphere of battles and sieges, to which tho Grantites wish to restrict them. Greeley never won a battle, nor concluded a siege, nor crushed tho egg? shell of a Confederacy, (after the meat had been sucked out by other lips,) nor received stocks, bonds and houses, nor plucked tho Government geese to feather the nests of his relatives, nor interpreted the Constitution on a drum? head, nor made laws odious by enforcing thom odiously. Greoley never fought it out all summer (by the flank) ?n one Hue, nor starved 30,000 men to keep the enemy from being ro-inforced, nor lot? us have peace-in Yorkville jail and the Albany penitentiary. Greeley never was in the army at all, and, consequent? ly, could uot have had to resign on ac? count of an unfortunate confusion of ideas in regard to a mess-table soup tureen. We are quite sure that Greeley did not capturo Vicksburg, and, conse? quently, he could not have celebrated the victory by descending tho stairs of the St. Charles, at New Orleans, head? foremost, and doing kotow with his fore? head npon each individual step. Gree? ley is confessedly a bumptious fellow, but he never decorated his sinciput with bumps like that. For all his light-head? edness, Greeley was never even charged with needing to steady his errant and sinuous foot-steps by a lamp-post in his ovoqing meanderings. Greeley has traveled a good deal, but was never dumped into a baggage-oar like {shot rubbish. He has taken part in a good deal of high old junketing and been conspicuous at a good many banquets; but has always kept his legs under the mahogany, and never,permitted the legs of the mahogany to stand above his neck and shoulders. It has been the regret of Mr. Greeley's life never to have gone fishing; when he does get time to go, we do not think he will go off after trout to Pennsylvania, while his confederates and relatives lay their nets in Wall Btreet for a gold-fish haul. Mr. Greeley never owned a blooded trotter nor a thorough-bred bull pup; he has never ridden behind Dexter, nor pa? tronized the late Christopher Burns; but, in compensation for these deficient experiences, it is possible that he may think a republic is better led than driven, and may make some distinctions between the political arena and a dog pit.- Washington Patriot. m ? ?
