Address to the People by the Lih- eral State Committee, South Carolina to Have a Col- ored Senator in Congress, Congressional Nominations---Miscel- laneous Items, THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN CONNECTICUT. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yorg, Oct. 17.—The more candid Repub- licans admit thet Connecticut is among the very doubtful States, and the following address from the Liberal Republican Committee of that State shows how the Greeley cause stands : To the Liberal Republicans of Connecticut : The October town elections were notably your trinmph. Many towns upon which the renom- inationists counted assure o registerat the ballot-box the edict of the regular party caucus, by handsome majorities repudiated the old man- sgement, and, in the shape of Liberal successes, entered up heir protest against party management. In nearly every town yon showed large Liberal firins upon the Ea pular vote, and the result in arrants_tho elief that in November you can give the Lib- oral candidates at least 5,000 majorityin the State. With energy and pluck the State is ours. The proportion of feir-weather soldiers amon; your number is small. OQur reports from afi parts of the State since the October elections are of an encouraging character. The Liberal Republicans of Connecticut have not abandoned the old orgenization and the dominant party simply because a new movement promised suc- cess. For nearly six months wo have borne the sbuse and slanders hesped upon us by men to whom we have given no offence other than to withdraw from sn organization which we con- scientiously believe to be corrupt and mischiev- ous to our conntry's welfare. The only hope of our opponents i in the purchasesblo material which they can buy in thé open market to make good the defection of more than five thousand honest men in the State who heretofore have acted with them. In this respect they will but follow their former custom, and the example sot them by Hartranftand Cameron,of Pennsyl- vanl, Of such aconduct of the canvass we shall yield them & monopoly. Whatever success they may have in this endeavor, there is but one duty before tho Liberal Republicans of Connect- icut, and that is to make, from this time till the 5th of November, a stout'and persistent fight, There is nothing discouraging to the friends of Greeley and Brown in Tuesdays elections. We can carry Indiana, and gain more than 10,000 in Ohio. With New York, Indiana, Con- necticut, New Jersey, and New pshire vot- ing for Greeley, as there is a reasonable cer- tainty of their doing, and with the almoat aolid Electoral votes of the Southern States con- coded to him, his election and the triumph of the Liberal cause will be secured. We have no responsibility for any State but Connecticut. Connecticut is ours if we make for the mext three weeks 8 hearty fight and _bring out _ our full vote. Our duty is here, and there can be no mis- takingit. Thres weeks of good honest work is all that is required of us, Let us take hold of it with a will. J. H. BoMLIE.

THE GENEVA AWARD. Hon, Caleb Cushing Xnterviewed ox i the Subject, i Special Deapatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yomg, Oct. 17.—Caleb Cushing has ar- rived in New York, after a quiet run from Havre, and of course has been duly interrogated by reporters. Mr. Cushing thinks the Ameri- cans should be entirely satisfied with the Gen- eva arbitration and fifteen millions in hard cash. Concerning Sir Alexander Cockburn's dissent, Mr. Cushing says it has no other value than as Deing the opinion of one of the arbitrators, and that of an eminent lawyér. In it he opens many now pheses of the subject which are em- titled to regard. But the opinion does not in the elightest alter the case. The Court decided by =2 majority of "4 to 1 in our favor, and that settles entirely the question, and England must assent to it, though her arbi- tretor might differ from it. We can only know how the Administration in England feels about it when the Government meets. On the whole, Tam inclined to believe the people of England are not_extremely dissatisfied with the way the arbitration bas turned out. The claima now under consideration by the Mixed Commis- sion, and made_ by British subjects sgainat this Government,, will_all together amount_to very little over one million dollars. They will never come up to two millions. This will leave a very handsome margin on our side. Reporter. Was £15,000,000 all you claimed? Mr. Cushing. OB, no. It was for depredations committed upon American vessels by the Ala- bama, Florida, and Shenandoah. Thesewere all the claims considered, indirect claims being aban- doned at an early stage. . K Efp,nrter. Did you consider theee claims justi- fiable ? Mr. Cushing. Ithink they came within the mezning of the Treaty, but as they were not al- lowed, why, it is no uge speaking about them. Reporter. Let me ask you a ?eshon ‘which seems to puzzle a great many: Has the ques- tion been decided that a neutral power has not the right to allow privateers to leave her ports while another power is at war ? X Mr. Cushing. That is not exactly the question. The matter covered by the Treaty of Washington was that a nentral power was bound to use due diligence to prevent the equipment of vessels destined for an enemy in time of war. Mr. Cushing continued that he did not go to England. In France, however, it wag tho general opinion that-the United States had achieved a great vic- tory. Regarding the secret sessions of the T:i%unul, e ‘said, how would it have looked to have the deliberations on.such important mat- ters before the public-gaze? It does not seem to have struck the people generally that these gentlemen wero judges deliberating npon 8 verdicl. There was no debating or argument during the sessions of the Board of Arbitrators. Everything was written and presented to the Board in printed form. Before the Court had opened the United_ States had presented eight octavo and England five folio volumes, and all these had to be carefully studied. 1In all, the proceodings take up twenty-five volumes. The pupes would be taken home and read and stud- 1ed. The agents had the business of rending over and presenting papers for the consideration of the Board. A large part of the pepers were rend aloud. Tho proceedings were of a most dig- nified character,—seldom anything approaching a joke being broached, though, of course, it would be more than human nature could stand to go through all this dry stuff without some- thing to relieve it occasionally. I think I never saw anything more dignified and more impres- sive than on the last fug, when Count Sclopis, President of the Board, read the award. On this occasion the press was sdmitted, and the wives and families of the Arbitrators and Coun- sel on each side. In all, about thirty-three seesions were held, stretching over a period of thres months from the 14thof June to the 15th of Scptember. Sometimes three and again four sessions were held in each weelk. Reporter. Were the Arbitrators friendly and sociable among each other ? How was it about -Sir Alexander Cockburn, the English Arbi-.] trator ? Mr. Cushing. Well, ho remained_entirely private, and noither visited nor received any visits, We wondered at it, though thisisamatter on which I would rather not touch. Otherswise & very pleasant saciability existed. Reporter. What was the composition of the Board, mentally ? Nr, Cushing. Veryfine, indeed. Mr. Staemfli was President of the Bwiss Republic, having been three times in the Presidential chair. He i at present a member of the National Assembly, the same as_our Congress, and holds s very high and honorable ~ position. During his experiences in his varions positions he has become thomn%hly ufimnted with law, though not alawyer. Baron Iiajaba, of Brazil, was a gentleman well versed in the legel requirements of the position, and Count Sclopis, the Italian A.rbi:ramx, isa man eminent for his acquire- ments. Reporter. I presume you are glad the whole matter is terminated. Mr. Cushing. Heartily glad. Itwas a terrible bore all through. Iam proud of the succesa 'we have had, but I have never done drier work in my lifo. All our debates were in the French, 8o that every member in the' Board spoke a foreign language to his own, but the French was the only one we could meet on. Sir Alexander Cockburn spoke it best of any one in tho Board. His mothor was French. e 2 Firess CINcINNATI, Oct. 17.—A fire at Frankfort, Ky., this morning, destroyed the residences of Wil- liam Saffell and Dr. Sneed. The losses are $12,- 000; fully insured.

New Yozrr, Oct. 17.—Mail advices from Alsace and Lorraine represent that tho exodus will almost wholly depopulate those countries. Large numbers have left without taking more than a part of their belongings with them. A still larger number have left their hearths and homes with_some cloths hung on the end of a stick, the wife carrying the youngest of her chil- dren, and the rest fradging behind. In Metz, it is said, there are only seventeen recruits remaining, all unfit for service. At Atserma, in Alsace, & town of 6,000 inhabitants, there are only threo, of whom one alone is quali- fied for service. No fewer than 15,000 aro alleged to have left during the last fortnight, reducing the pognlntion of the town to 10,000, exclusive of 25,000 German troops who keep watch and ward over them. Even in Havre, which does not soem a very likely place to have any large number of Alsatians and Lorrainers, the number who have chosen a French uation- ality reaches 1,400. These facts are evidently making an impression npon the Germars. L ———— BELGIUM. ] BrusseLs, Oct. 17.—A- Paris.

His clothes were torn from his body, and his face presented a shocking sight. On the temples blood streamed unchecked, and two ugly cats, inflicted by some blunt instrument, were close behind the left ear, A diamond pin and $275 in cash were taken from his person. Itis supposed he was waylaid by some of the thieving gang that infest Water street at nightfall, probably taken from the wagon he was driving, besten senseless, and robbed.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, THE FREEDMEN'S SAVINGS BANE. ‘Wasemverox, D. C., Oct. 17.—It seems thab the rumor that wes current here with regard ta the nnsound condition of the Freedman’s Sav- ings Bank, although amply disproved, caused such & feeling of uneasiness among depositors, especially those of the colored persuasion, that something like 5 run set in on this financial in- stitution on Mondey =nd Tuesdsy lafs, whick has continued up to the present time, although confidence is fast being ree stored. In all instances the bank has met the demands upon it. One of tho officials of the bank stated, yesterday, thats not only had the institution withstood the heavy drain upon it, but that it had not even been necessary, up to this time, to sell s single bond or other security to obtain cash to meet the run upon its vaults. The official further stated that many of the depositors who had withdrawn their money had again deposited, and expressed their confidence in the safety of the bank. How or why this scare was originated is not known to the Dank officials, according to their statement, and they seem to regard it as having been the Te- sult of some careless remark or the work of some mslicions enemy. It is probable, how- ever, that the trouble arose from the fact that the employes of various contractors under the Board of Public Works have been for s long' timo unpaid, owing, as is alleged, to a failurs of the Board to liquidate its obligations, and a general impression has got abroad that the Board or District is on the verge of bankruptcy. It is alzo understood that these contract- ors have obtained large " sums from the Freedmen's Bank on collasterals of the Board, and the possibility of harm coming to the bank, through the failure of the Board to meet its obligations, no doubt gave rise to the run. It is not, however, in any degree, probable that the bank holds s sufficient amount of paper of thisclass to affect its credit if there should besa suspension by the District Government, which conld only be suspension, as the entire property in the district is liable forits obliga- tions. THE WHARTON CASE. The trial of Mrs. Wharton, in the Van Ness case, has been set for the next term of the Anne Arundel Circuit Court, which mests on Mondsy next. ADMINISTRATION TACTICS TOWARD THE SOUTH. Tt is understood that a portion of the Admini; tration Committee here had & conference with the President to-dsy, in which they asked of him to issue a proclamation warning the voterse in the Southern States from creating any dis- turbances on election day. The Committes urged the importance of the above scheme, but the President informed them that it was inex- pedient and unnecessary. The alleged gross Ku-Klux outrages were then recited, but the President still refused, kuowing by the advico of couneel, that it was outside of hia prerogative. The President, however, stated that if any trouble took place in the South, he would ask in his message to Congress that a searching investigation should be made. The Committes have arranged to have even this bit of information publiched and semt broadcast over the North; but not allowing it to be sent South, hoping to keep the voters there in igno- rance, and to profit by the dropping system ‘when these are defeated fairly. NO TROUBLE AT THE NAVAL ACADEMY. The Navy Departmentreceived no information of the alleged assault on Conyers, the colored cadet; by other cadets of the United States Naval Academy, and the officers of the Depart- ‘ment are sntisBied that no such act has been per- petrated. PATENT DECISION. The Acting Commissioner of Patents has de- cided that, where the comstruction of a deviee different from that of preceding omes, ond it operating power 18 saved, and better work is done, its noy~ eltyand utility sre establiched, but the words “substantislly as and for the parpose set forth,” 88 & limiting claim in a claim, are sm- biguous, unlees so placed as to obtain specialin- significance. i BEPORTED SALE OF FORNEY'S PRESS. A reportis being circulated here to-night by one of the most prominent gentlemen in the country, that Colonel Forney has disposed of the Philadelphia Press to a combination of poli- ticians who are thought to be more in eernest in the support of Grant than the founder of that pewspaper.

THE ATTORNEY GENERALSHIP, ‘WasHINGTON, Oct. 17.—It is reported that At- torney Goneral Williams intends to retire from the Cabinot after the election, and that he will be succeeded by Gencral Brisfow, of Kentucky, the présent Solicitor General. In such an event it is thought that Williams will be asked to serva a8 President of the Commisaion for the Adjudi- cation of the Alabama Claims that Congress is expected to establich. _ 5 Attorney General Williams authorizes an em- phatic denial of the statement that he intends to retire from the Cabinet after the Presidential election. ~His withdrawal from the Oregon Senatorial contest was for the purpose of re- maining in his present position, and it should be: stated, as a fact based on equally good author- ity, that Colonel Briatow, Solicitor General, has no ambition to be Judge Williams’ successor, it being known he will soon retire from that office to engage in other pursuits. .
