The proposition of the British government | to make a supplemental treaty, or an addition to the Treaty of Washington, in order to over- come the deadlock into which that government | and ours have fallen, was referred to the Senate for its advice and not for executive action. It is not too late, therefore, to prevent the administration blundering further in this deplorable business. If the Senate cannot save the administration, and particularly Mr. Fish, from the odium which entertaining this | humiliating proposition even has brought upon the government, it can save our great country | from dishonor and its owh reputation, The | form of the so-called supplemental treaty only | has been submitted for consideration, and the | Senate can and ought to scout it indig- nantly, As no official action beyond that of feeling the way for admitting this supple- | mental treaty has been taken the Senate can refuse to entertain it without compromising in the least the honor of the country. The Jobnson-Clarendon ‘Treaty was rejected }even after it had been signed; conse- | quently there would be no ground of complaint if the Senate should manifest its disapproval in advance of nego- | tinting and signing this proposed” supple- ; mental treaty. Both the British government and the administration at Washington seem to have been desirous of avoiding decisive | action until the opinion of the Senate-would | be obtained, in order to save their credit and | prevent any irritation in the event of the prop- osition being rejected. They seemed to» have ¥ been conscious, too, that the proposition was of ,| Such an extraordinary character.that there was +| danger of it being-rejected. Hence the sug-.

The few timid, selfish or un- worthy American citizens who would be will- ing to bend the knee to England and see their own country humbled for the sake of personal interests should not be heeded. The Senate should regard first the honor and dignity of the republic. Nor can it fail to see how the popular heart pulsates on this question. The expressions of a little group of merchants, bankers and stockjobbers, the clamor of those who have claims against England and of the lobby in their interest, and all the intrigues of capitalists, telegraph speculators and the English ring around the State Department ought to have little weight with Senators or the President in this matter. The honor of the republic and sentiment of the mass of the people are paramount considera- tions, and should control the action of the Senate and President. What if the Washing- | ton Treaty should fail? There would be no | necessity for war nor any probability of war. We were getting along very well, peaceably and friendly, before the diplomatists, Joint High Commissioners and politicians began to make all this trouble. Both nations were careful to avoid offence. But in an evil hour political and ambitious chiefs, on both: sides, tried to male capital out of a treaty, and afterwards by quarrelling over it, till at last we have got into the worst sort of entangle- ment and the country is hunsiliated. If the whole matter were dropped the politicians might lose their capital, but England and the United States would go along friendly and smoothly enough till the arrival of a more convenient time for the adjustment of out- we took and have maintained throughout this| 4 Funny Fight for the Presidency— The Sword and the Ploughshare. ‘The Cincinnati overture consluded, the cur- tain’.rises on the new, exciting, sensational play called “The Sword and the Ploughshare,”’ a Presidential comedy in three acts. The managers, Messrs. Schurz and Morton, re- spectfully announce the joint appearance of the two distinguished comedians, Grant and Greeley, as'the rival candidates, supported by numerous company. Public expectation is excited to the highest pitch, and there isa great divergity of opinion as to the abilities of the twin stars. Reserved seats (in the next Cabinet and government offices) are eagerly sought after, and, strange to say, are expected to be given gratuitously to the applicants. The second act opens at Philadelphia, and the third at the White House; the play to con- chide with a grand political transformation scene called the ‘‘Obliteration of Party Lines."’ Mr. Greeley's line of business has hitherto been something of the “Solon Shingle’ order, but his agricultural proelivities have not been confined to the narrow sphere of a “barrel of apple sass.’ His theories on farming have been spread broadcast over the great republic, and many a horny-handed son of toil has: dwelt with delight over the glowing pages of those matebless philosophical works on the early growth of cabbages, the eesthetics of tur- nips and the delicate nurture of carrots. Grant forsook the tannery for the field of battle, where his tanning abilities.were of ines- timable value on the backs of the rebels. In fact, no tanner before him ever made such a success in his business nor conducted it on such an extensive scale. But we- have had standing difficulties.. Let us hope the Senate’ will weject the svpplemental treaty, whicli would be betier named the supplemental sur- soldiers in the Presidential:field before, and the only novelty in this campaign iss the first appearance of the model farmer in this réle, gestion of ‘Lord Granville that it should: be and decisive action; and of the cautious. and junusual step taken: by the President in con- | sulting that body.

The Chamber of Commerce is, no doubt) a highly respectable institution, and its mem- bers ure probably very honorable and unques- tionably very wealthy men. To be sure they are apt to meddle too much with politics and have an uncontrollable itching after notoriety, so that their meetings and resolutions have not as much weight and importance in the eyes of the people as in their own estimation. An impression prevoils that their heads are not as well furnished as their pockets,;and that outside of their own interests they know very little of the wants and wishes of the people. When they speak for the’ country, swhieh they frequently assume to do, the publiv’ ntind is irresistibly. carried back to the , fannliar story of the three tailors of \Tooley street. Whether the professional gi has anything to d» with this involuntary méntal association of the politico-commercial repre- sentatives of the two nations may be a matter of opinion; but their connection is probably mainly attributable to the prevalent belief that the thirty merchants of William street, New York, have about as much right to make au: oracular utterance for the people of the United” States as had the tliree tailors of Tooley street, London, for the people of England: Indeed, although the former might claim an‘advantage in point of numbers and wealth, the latter could, no doubt, have boasted a } loser affizity and sympathy with those | for whom they assumed to speak.

Sub- ’ Tar Foutowme Ovout to Be tay True text of the petition to the United States Senate signed by the patriotic members of the Chambér of Commerce:—‘‘The undersigned, citizens of New York, while they would not urge anything which the government of the United States cannot honorably accept, desire to express their profound conviction, irrespec- tive of party, that the present interests and prospective welfare of themsqves and their families demand an additional article to the | Treaty of Washington which, by degrading | the American government and according all | the arrogant demands of England, will deter right to talk as much as they please and to dx. press their opinions as. freely as they thin\k proper. This isa free country. The Tooley street artists enjoyed .a similar privilege, al, though the British monarchy is not so free ad the-American republic, But when the trio of tailors drew up their famous protest agaimst. the English government, grandiloquent as. was , its language, it represented, after all, only the | sentiments of three respectable mechanics,. amd. | when.a squad of the members of the Chamber democratic hammers.

In such campaignss| therefore, as that immediately before us, thei issue turns:on men rather than on measures} for in protestation and platform very lit) tle difference can be found, The der at Rochester’ toed the mark on the consti tional amendments, and the republicans Elnim put in an anti-carpet-bag and rights plank, as follows: —“Seventh—Thatit is the duty of the federal government to do al} mony, prosperity and honest administration the reconstructed States, while it should with jealows care against any tendency to authority which belongs exclusively to several States.” But the oddest thing in Ehnira platform, as something totally'at anee with the policy of the administration, fd the national debt reduction section, It been the especial xlory of Boutwell, and: administration papers have: lauded him for to the skies, that he has:been pulling do the debt a hundred millions a year; yet Elmira braves heretically aver ‘‘that, while voring a gradual: reduction. of the nati debt, we are opposed to # hurried payment thereof through oppressive taxation, thinkin, it clearly more wise and just to divide the bu; den. with the vastly increased population of future years, when, to the augmented wealt! and multiplied numbers, the debt be less onerous.’’ As a necessary Sequence it would pull down the rever nue as boldly as: the liberals, andj think ‘that there should be-a tariff for reveonud 80 adjusted as to bear’ as equally as possible _ Upon every kind of labor, property and indys’ try.’’ The abolition of the income tax, th ifranking: privilege and all internal revenue of Commerce present ‘a memorial to the United States Senate, although it affects to speak forthe whole country, it represents, after all, only the sentiments of some thirty respeet- ¢ able merchants. H We desire to call these facts to the attention of our Senators at Washington, in order:that they may place its due value, and no.more, upon the request made to them by the Cham- ber of Commerce memorialists to sign the dishonorable capitulation in our Geneva case attempted to be foreed upon us by the British government. The Senate will observe that this notable document is very carefully worded, and that the advice it proffers to that body is of a non-committal character. The signers ‘‘would not urge anything which the government of the United States cannot honorably accept;’’ they do not ask the con- firmation of Lord Granville’s unconditional | surrender rule; they only suggest an addi- tional article to the Treaty of Washington which will settle the question of a neutral’s liability to a belligerent for consequential damages. Some of those whose names are attached to the memorial are shrewed politicians, and they refuse to commit themselves in favor of the dishonorable act they secretly desire the Senators to perform Indeed, they would be very likely to repudiate the Granville supplemental rule should it be accepted by the Senate, and to pretend that their memorial never contemplated so dis- graceful a surrender on the part of our govern- ment. They know that the abandonment of our case would excite the indignation of the American people, and while they are willing enough to see the country humiliated in order to protect their own pecuniary interests, they are not anxious to share the odium that must attach to those who thus dishonor taxes, ‘save only the tax on tobacco and spirituous liquors,” starts out in the fifth secs tion to make the thing complete. course it has its party war cries, and, foi ting its fourth section, cries. hallelujah tha‘ $327,000,000 of the debt has been paid sini March, . 1869. This is slightly inconsistent, but what a left-handed-compliment it pays Secretary Fish when it expresses the that the United States,. “in dealing with fore: Powers, should demand nothing whieh is not clearly right, and should submit tonowrong?'"\ This is enough for the present.
