TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch to the Hexatp has been received from our corres- pondent in the capital of Great Britain: — Lowpon, May 21, 1872. ‘The English papers continue to discuss the Washington Treaty and the supplemental article thereto with undiminished interest. The editorial articles just published are, Generally speaking, inspired by a wish to pre- vent a failure of the Geneva Arbitration and to save the treaty. A VIGOROUS OPPOSITION—WHICH NATION SHALL “EAT THE LEEK?" spec An article, expressed in a contrary sense, is printed by the Pall Mall Gazelle in its issue this evening. The effort is remarkable for its truthful and just appreciation of the danger of endeavoring to save the treaty at the ex- pense of national susceptibility and propriety. I forward the following extract: — “The whole drift of public feoling and opiut- ion in England justifies us in saying that tho worst thing to do with the treaty is to save it. Saving the treaty means offence and humilia- tion—to America, or to England, or to both ations. It means the renewal and not the abatement of the ill-felling it was in- tended to allay. How to save the treaty Yneans who shall ‘cat the leek’ or whether some means cannot be invented whereby both par- ties shall agree to cat it ia each other's presence, a exclaim against the adoption of the supple- mentary article. Here most of them express bat opinion; that its acceptance would be discreditable and dangerous. The American papers appear to Both peoples treaty and the negotiations connected with it were dropped as an irremediable blunder, for which the two governments are alone to blame. This is the proper fate of the treaty, and the only safe and peaceful way of disposing of it.”” POPULAR ACQUT ENCE TO THE PRESS PRIN- CIPLE. 4 This newspaper article states exacily the It isa just expression of the best English opinion now Tt is certain that | the persons—bankers, financial agents and others—who are determined to Washington Treaty at whatever cost, with- | out regard to national dignity or national honor, are bringing about a dangerous compli- | situation as it exists in England. prevalent on the subject. save the cation, It is the same with those | unwise _ politicians who are willing | to make arly cxpital out of the} international difficulty.

A majority vote is all that is required to pass this resolution, while a two-thirds vote is required to ratify the protocol; consequently the endeavor of Mr. Fish and his rep- resentatives wiil be to enlist all the strength they can tn its support, Falling to get the requisite strength they will abandon the attempt and the third proposition, reverting the matter to the situation when our original case was submitted will prevail, 13’ FRIENDS JUBILANT, The Fish Senators ave more confident than ever of success, They clalm that suficient time has clapsed since the protocol was sent to the Senate to allow the powerful influences which have been brought to bear in their behalf to have their ful effect. they also claim ‘that half a dozen Sena- tors, Who were heretofore counted in the epposi- tion, are positively known to be committed to the support of the Measure, aud that others are in a condition of doubt which gives rise to the hope that they also may be brought over. Among the latter Mr, Casserly is mentioned. The basis for this opinion regaiding him is the fact that he has all along denounced the idea of indirect damages as. absard, but it 1s not certain that his exalted appre- ciation of national dignity will now allow him to vote for national disgrace. There are many others who, like him, have never believed in indirect dam- | ages, but who now maintain that it would be dis- graceful for the government to withdraw them after having made them the prominent point of case.” It is quite possible that MR. REVERDY JONNSON’S INFLUENCE has had something to do with the growth of this feeling against consequential damages among his old democratic colleagues. He is naturally de- sirons, not only in behalf of the commercial in- terests of Baltimore but for personal reasons, that the protocol should be ratifled, and evidently fects that there can be no greater historical vindication of his career as a statesman than that which would follow from such a result. While here last week he exhibited great satisfaction in alluding to the fact that the present situation is exactly similar to that which preceded the rejection of the Johnston- Clarendon Treaty. PUBLIC COMMENTARY, The outside public continue to discuss the subject with great avidity, and the almost universal opinion is against ratification. The efforts of the lobby may have exerted an influence in official circles, but they have produced no change of belief among the people. It is agreed that the course of Mr. Fish, in asking the advice of the Senate, and then attempting to coerce that bedy into prejudiced action, is an insult to its dignity as well as its honesty of purpose. The filmsy prevarication that the gov- ernment is now following a well established pre- cedent by bringing the ratifying power into direct contact with the interests at stake, is accepted as a puerile effort to shift responsibility, and is more than answered by the evident fact that Mr. Fish and his lobby friends are using their utmost en- deayors to make the result in favor of Gladstone a a foregone conclusion, NG FOR THE DONOROF THE HERALDS TREATY CORRESPONDENCE.

WASHINGTON, May 1, 1872, Tn the House of Representatives to-night Mr, Banks reported back the resolution which was offered yesterday by Mr, Butler and referred to the Committee on Vorcign Relations, calling for infor- mation in refer Statford Northcote’s statement as to the withdrawal of the claims for consequential damages. = MR. BUTLER'S sPERCM. Mr. Bureer addressed the House on the subject. Te said he had feit it his duty to bring the resotu- tion of inquiry before the House, and he fully be- Heved that the answer of the President would show one of to things—either that the utterances of Sir Stafford Northcote, as telegraphed and spread over the country, had been misreported or misconceived, or that the Honorable Commissioner on the part of Great Britain was wholly mistaken in his memory or understanding of the prelimninartes of the nego- tiation of the Washington Treaty, or had wholly misconceived them, as well as the mo- tives and acts of the American government, and had, therefore, misied his countrymen by a statement tending to stir up strife between the two countries. He (Mr. Butler) had substantial ground for saying that that statement of Sir Staf- ford Northcote was wholly wrong, in whatever way it was taken, He argued that if the claim for con- sequential damages were excluded from the Treaty of Washington, then the Johuson-Clarendon Treaty was as inclusive and as extensive as it, and ff that were the case it was not supposable that the Senate, which had so unanimously rejected the one, would have approved and ratified the other. TAL VITAL QUE: The question brought home to the American na- tion was, how this demand of Great Britain to withdraw from the treaty should be met. If this government was wrong in presenting the claims for consequential damages the government should waive and abandon its demand in a straight- forward, manly way, acknowledge its error and re- trace its Pee aa gracefully as possible, But what we could not do ina manly and direct manner we should not do covertly, “Of two such lessons why forget the nobler and the maniier one? We should say for the United States in this matter what Nepoleon said for his nation—"Frence never nego- tintes under a threat.” Should we not ss Great Brita tive. You did not appeal to ov to our fears, and between us there can be no far- ther covenant.’ BUTLER'S VERE SARCASM. He proceeded to comment in a sareastic strain upon the dictation by the British Ministry of the supplementary article, which, if the American Sen- ate would agree to, ‘Her Most Gracious M i would accept, Mr. Schonck, he said, had declined to comment fon it, but he (Mr. Butler) would take the liberty of doing so, and of characterizing it as a scheme by which the American government cowld retract (he had the word skwk in his mann- script) from its position, It had been said that if we did not adopt this supple- mentary article we would not be able borrow money in England or in Europe, Was it necessary, he asked, for us to sacrifice our national honor in this matter in order to be able to borrow money at usury?

If we did lose the treaty we we in the commerce of the great lakes, get bac ries and get back the right to say to Englan¢ ‘You have made no reparation, and see to it} that you, the pirate of nations, keep the peace hereafter!” Mr. Banks made a few remarks, in which he ex- pressed his disbelief in war resulting from a failure of the treaty. ‘The House then ad OFFICE OF THE S AL OFFICER, Watt DerantMest, | WASHINGTON 2—1 A.

Mr. Banks made an important stand for the subsidy, and Mr, Pecksntif Garfield explained that it was not the same bill rejected by the House on a former occasion, but quite dierent, as it left the trade open to competition, not confin- ing it to the Pacific steamship lines, After considerable discussion and much display: of feeling the amendment, giving $500,000 vearly additional to the $500,000 which is now paid to the Pacifle Mail Steamship Company for establishing a semi-monthly mail between San Francisco, Japan and China, was passed by a vote of 109 yeas to 86 nays. The result of this vote is a simple atrocity. To say that members were bought with money to vote for the increased amount which is to be paid for carrying the mails, is to put it very mildly, Money was openly offered in the lobby of the House for votes, and the floor was full of the friends of the bill, while speculators used the reporter's gallery and the telegraph in the rear to communicate with their clients in Wall street. Democrats and republicans alike went in for the swindle, Mr. Clarkson . Potter, the attorney of the company, got up Garfield in his character agPecksnitt, with the sophistry that giving away $500,000 for the same purpose in one way was not the same thing as giving it away in another. ‘The pretence of Garfield was that this was mail ser- vice, and not subsidy; but scarcely more than a thousana = letters a month pass be- tween this country and Japan, which will make the cost to the people of the United States $35 for each letter. The same men who voted for this swindle immediately afterwards showed their consistency by voting against the smaller swindie of $150,000 to the Brazilian line, running from New York to Rio Janelro, The pig fron men of Pennsylvania, failing to compel the company to make the steamers of iron, although tt was pro- vided they should be made in the United States, combined with the jobbers in Pacifle Mail and de- feated it.

In the debate on the Ku Klux bill he denounced Ames in most unmeasured terms as an adventurer, without residence, property or character in Mississippi, and asserted that he had never paid tas in that State. An absurd story is afloat to-night, based probably on the fact that Ames did not venture a reply, that the matter will be settled outside of the Senate, Progress of the Tariff Bill.
