as from the throne, refreshing the soul; so that when they came down from the high mountain that was set between the weeks they felt as did Deborah, who said, “O my soul, thou hast put on strength.’ Those who ascended this mount might, like the apostles, see Jesus transfigured before them; might, hold communion with God and prove the fulness, the sweetness and divineness of life. The Rev. Chauncey Giles directed the thoughts and the desires of his hearers toward ‘their spiritual homes—their houses not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. And ‘these homes, he showed, are built by our- selves, under the direction of the great Head and Master Workman. We are, he ‘said, by our lives here actually se- Jecting the localites and building the Thouses we shall dwell in through eter- mity, and we are also determining in what ‘iety we shall be located and what our sur- oundings. Every man must be his own \architect. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, as Mr. Giles urged, that we select ithe pure, health-giving climate of heaven for uur location, lay our foundation upon the Frock of Ages, and make the Lord Himself the whief corner stone. Our Hebrew friends of the Stanton street Wynagogue yesterday celebrated the twenty- anniversary of the organization of their wongregation. They date originally as far as 1828, when there were but two other Wewish congregations in the city. They have plenty of good company now and congrega- tions that have given to our city some of its finest specimens of ecclesiastical architecture. { The Rev. Mr. Vandevere, of Kingston, N. Y., jdrew from the temptation of Christ several valu- ‘pble lessons and important theological sugges- ftions. That event proved the humanity of ‘Christ. It also qualified him to sympathize with ithe témpted. It proved his divinity and showed jhow much higher the stature of Jesus towered ‘above the devil’s loftiest offer. So far up the \phadow might travel, but the top of the pin- macle was still flashing above. The temptation plso proves the existence of the devil, but Bhows the poverty of his resources in levelling jno new temptation at the Saviour. And it farther illustrates the condescension of Jesus that He did not encounter the uncommon and leave unexplored the common. We commend ‘these discourses to the attention of the various pelasses of our readers for whom they may be \designed to enlighten, encourage and elevate, them. i ee Increasing Agitation Among the ta aps a mes: on Strike, | & The demonstration made at Steinway’s factory by some of the men on strike gives evidence of the growth of a spirit of vio- Dence among the workingmen which is fraught vith danger to the success of the labor move- ment. As long as the men were self-contained pnd law-abiding they received the support of | pn outside sympathy which was invaluable to their cause; but the recurrence of scenes such AS were witnessed yesterday will force all law- )biding citizens to take sides with the em- loyers, because the men by hoisting the ban- er of riot declare themselves enemies of the pommunity, We have repeatedly warned the pdvocates of the rights of labor that their vic- Yories here must be moral ones, and that any attempt to enforce their opinions or terms on | ‘others by bludgeon arguments would be put own by the strong arm of the law. No class of the community have a greater jinterest in the supremacy of the law pnd the strict maintenance of individual yight than have the workingmen, and no wourse could be more foolish or illogi- ral than an attempt on their part to trample mpon it. When men set out to assert what they consider their rights they are sometimes | stupid enough to see only one side of a ques- }ion, and, either through ignorance or vicious- yness, refuse to others the very privileges they demand for themselves. The fundamental law mpon which our institutions are based is the xight of the individual to pursue his own hap- | piness and well being by the ways which ap- pear best to himself, so long as he infringes upon no right of others. Accepting this gene- yal law as applicable to all, we recognize the right of labor to strike, and of capital to lock put, and also that of individuals to refuse to | be bound by the decisions of the class to which | they belong. With a few inconsiderable ex- ceptions the mass of the workingmen seemed to recognize and respect these principles; but | |the demonstrations of Saturday would go to | prove that there are unquiet spirits only too ready to support their own views by appeals to physical force. Apart from the crimi- mality of resorting to deeds of vio- Yence, such conduct would be the height of folly, as any disorders would un- questionably be suppressed in a most de- cisive manner by the whole power of the State and federal authority. No doubt the long | resistance of some of the employers is causing | considerable suffering among the working | trators during Monday, perhaps longer. _NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENT.

The following ‘special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent serving at the seat of the Alabama claims arbitration, in Geneva, Switzerland :— Geneva, June 16, 1872. The morning opened with charming ~eather to-day. Lord Tenterden and Sir Roundell Palmer, the agents who have charge of Queen Vic- toria’s case before the Alabama Claims Arbi- tration Court, attended service in church. Returning to their hotel they had lunch, after which the English gentlemen now in the city proceeded, very generally, out of doors for the purpose of enjoyment on the many drives which surround the ancient town. The Americans remained at their hotel dur- ing the morning. In the afternoon hours of the day they visited several friends. THE ENGLISH APPLICATION FOR ADJOURNMENT. The proposition for adjournment is the sub- ject now before the tribunal. The considera- tion of it will occupy the attention of the arbi- As the Cabinet purpose of the session of Monday is to hear argument, this adjournment point of the argument on both sides may be ex- tended; for nothing connected with the Alabama claims settlement negotiations has has yet been distinguished for brevity. Many delicate issues will also be raised for the | judges, who will not determine hastily topics which in their very essential nature require deliberate consideration at their hands. Pos- sibly this single subject of adjournment may occupy several days before a decisive ruling is had upon it. THE ENGLISH PAPERS NOT PRESENTED IN COURT. You may rely upon the unqualified accuracy of my former special telegram to the Henarp, reporting that the English argument in the case was not presented on Saturday last, the 15th instant. Give no credit to a statement, made at hap-hazard, which alleges that a sum- mary of the British case was laid before the arbitrators. Doubtless this statement was fabricated upon the basis of one of the utter- ances attributed to Earl Granvillee which classes; but this furnishes no justification for jhaving recourse to violent measures, even if by their aid anything could be gained. But the fact | is that, instead of bettering their position, they | would array the mass of order-loving citizens against them and expose themselves to the | action of the law in such a manner as would | insure the defeat of the present movement. "There can be no excuse for such acts as the | ‘taking possession of factories or the intimida- ttion of those who choose to continue at work; and if men will persist in making demonstra- tions of this kind they must expect scant | courtesy at the hands of the police. We think the use of the locust ought not to be resorted to unless under circum- wtances that call for the vindication | jof the law, and even then it should be | jused with discretion; but if violent men will | tuse force as a means of conversion or per- suasion they must be reduced to reason by similar measures of repression. Although | considerable injury has been inflicted on the trade of the city by the long continuance of e strike and the disturbance of business re- sulting from it, we admit the right of the hvorkingmen to refuse to work except on their ‘own terms; but we insist that they shall show jequal respect for the rights of others. Such \scenes as occurred on Saturday must not be ep or we shall feel obliged to call upon ¢ authorities to adopt precautionary and re- (pressive measures. At whatever cost, the law | must be obeyed and order maintained. Mary Klee Laws, German, of 208 Spring street, died suddenly at her residence yesterday morning without medical attendance. The Coroner was ‘motifled, | bunal, was placed in the middle, | said that the English agents presented no pa- pers, and came unprepared to present any, but furnished only with papers that may be re- | garded as setting forth his personal part of the “apparatus,’’ or arrangement of the discussion. WHAT WAS DONE ON THE 15TH OF JUNE. The proceedings of Saturday, the 15th inst., however possibly pregnant with great results as they may have been, were meagre in point of detail. The assembled Judges of the Arbitration Court sat within the council room in a semi- circular order of arrangement. The desk of | His Excellency Count Sclopis, representative | of the King of Italy, and President of the tri- On his left were His Excellency Baron d'Itajuba, serving on behalf of His Majesty Dom Pedro, Empe- ror of Brazil, and the Right Honorable Sir Alexander James Edmund Cockburn, Chief Justice of England, duly commissioned to speak in the name of Her Majesty Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. On the right of the President were the citizens Jacob Staempfli, representative of the President and | people of the republic of Switzerland, and Charles Francis Adams, representative and ar- bitrator, acting on behalf of His Excellency the President and the people of the United States of America. The counsel engaged in the case sat, at a Square table placed in front of the President of the Court. Lord Tenterden was at one side, with the British counsel seated behind him. Mr. Bancroft Davis occupied the other side, with counsel behind him also. PRESENTATION OF THE AMERICAN ARGUMENT. The American argument in the Alabama claims case was duly presented in the Court. The statement made up several octavo volumes of six or seven hundred pages each. These were accompanied by a smaller supplementary volume, printed in the English language only. The facts were duly noted on the minutes record of the Court. READY FOR THE UNITED STATES. The American agent then declared himself ready to proceed. BRITISH FAILURE AND MOVEMENT FOR DELAY. The English agent failed in compliance with the stipulated formality of the presentation of the British papers, and contented himself by simply asking for an adjournment of the pro- ceedings in order that Her Majesty's govern- ment might have a further opportunity to endeavor to reconcile their differences on one main point at issue. He said he did not ask an adjournment for any fixed period or definite number of months. AMERICAN REPLY, The Americans replied as follows :—‘That on receiving a request for adjournment with- out a presentation to the court of the final papers, and not according to the course of procedure laid down in the treaty, they find themselves in presence of an eventuality not contemplated by their instructions, and, therefore, hope that the ‘Tribunal of Arbitration will not decide on the English application, without affording them an oppor- tunty to refer the subject, by telegraph, to the United States government, inasmuch as the whole legal ground upon which the tribunal for settlement itself stands is comparatively an unexplored region, the exact character of the power of the arbitrators not well defined, and the scope and limit of their Borer unde, ee ee ee termined. THE EVENTFUL DAY. It was judged wise, after due consideration, to accept this proposition, and Monday, the 17th inst., was fixed as the day upon which the Court will hear and counsel deliver, in the light of the very latest advices then to hand from the two arbitrating governments their arguments upon the point presented by the English agent for adjournment. CABINET CAUTION ON BOTH SIDES. It thus becomes apparent that neither gov- ernment, Great Britain or the United States, has thought it safe to trust its case altogether and solely to the care of its agents here, but that the respective Ministries keep up such constant communication by telegraph wire that, in fact and truth, the real agent for England is the Right Honorable Earl Granville, Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the real agent for the United States of America Mr. Secretary Fish, in Washington. It is not strange that the governments thus keep their agents in Geneva in tutelage when we contemplate the monstrous ab- surdity of the fact that neither case is in the hands the great lawyers that are here on both sides, but really in the power of official underlings, third rate men of departmental routine. ARE THE BRITISH LEGALLY IN COURT ? As the English have uncompromisingly ad- hered to their determination not to present the Queen’s Cabinet papers in the case, it is but natural to suppose that the Americans will also adhere to their view of the law that the British are not properly in court, and that they ask the Court to wander from its jurisdiction by demanding its judgment on a point for which the treaty makes no provision. A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS MAY OCCUR. If the English insist, in reply, that they are properly in court an important consequence follows; for, if the British are properly in court, they are bound to recognize the validity of its judgments, no matter on what point. Pos- sibly, therefore, they may find themselves in- of volved in a position from which they cannot escape without the exhibition of an act of flagrant disregard of diplomatic propriety, as well as of the respect which is due to the Tri- bunal of Arbitration itself. The proceedings on Monday will, however, | depend entirely on the contents of the latest despatches from Earl Granville to the English agent in Geneva. | 13th. BROTHER JONATHAN POSTED, ALL AT SEA, The American agents are fully instructed as to every step which they take in their course of proceeding. The English are drifting about, and it is impossible to say what may be the result of their movements. They are en- deavoring just now to ascertain the tone and temrsr of the Court, and also how far the Americans will go in conceding a length of | time for adjournment at their request, in ac- | cordance with the application which has been | made on the part of the Queen and her Ministry. ENGLISH REPORTS. BUT JOHN BULL British Press Statements from Geneva--Lord Ten- terden on the Subject of Indirect Dam- ages—Public Canvass of Ap- proaching Eventualities. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK WERALO. Lonpon, June 16, 1872. Spectal despatches from Geneva to the London journals say the sitting of the Board of Arbitration yesterday lasted only one hour. Lord Tenterden presented the formal demand, of Great Britain for an adjournment antfl the ques- tion of the indirect claims was settied with the United States, The American agent replied that he had received no instructions from his govern- ment. The Board will discuss probably, on Monday, the Proposal for an adjournment. Some report that the Americans will concede the points and that England will make no further concessions, The Board adjourned yesterday until half-past two o'clock to-morrow afternoon. It is rumored that the Americans oppose a long adjournment, and demand an immediate decision. MAKING THEMSELVES AT HOME. The American Commissioner, agent and counsel have engaged apartments in Geneva for the season. The representatives of England dined together yesterday and make an excursion on the lake to- day. TEE QUESTION WASHINGTON. The Diplomatic Correspondence=The As= sumptions for Direct Claims. WASHINGTON, June 16, 1872, The last European mail brought to Washington the correspondence respecting the claims for tndi- rect losses put forward in the case presented by the United States government to the Tribunal of Arbi- tration at Geneva. Itis the same as that sent to the House of Representatives by Secretary Fish several weeks ago, which was up to April 25, with the addition of letters from Earl Granville to Sir Ed- ward Thornton, dated respectively May 1, 6 and 13, the last named being a reply to Secretary Fish’s despatch of the 16th of April for the use of Mr. Thornton in any future communications with the government of the United States. Earl Granville claims he has been able to show, upon the testimony of Mr. Reverdy Johnson, the American Minister, corroborated on examination by the extracts cited by Mr. Fish, that for the first seven years of the dis- cussion, up to 1869, none but direct claims were known as Alabama claims, and that the indirect losses were mentioned by the American High Com- missioners not as claims, but as grievances, and were mentioned only to be withdrawn from dis- cussion. The English mail also brought copies of the ap- pendix to the case presented on the part of the government of Her Britannic Majesty, giving the reports of the committees appointed by the Board of Trade and the Admiraity to examine the lists of claims contained in volume vil. of the appendix to the case of the United States. The principles on which their reports are founded are contained in or are deducible from the following assumptions or Propositions :— First—That on the one hand there exists no ground for awarding vindictive damages. That, on the other hand, when once the Mability to compensation for a given loss is estab- lished, such compensation Is to be estimated in accordance with the well- -recognized prin- ciple of restitutio in MEH Ee oe however, to these consider: ations os ages—not being of bas Temoté, acratlaa m acu at ve a character; Wate ing common iy the jurisprudence of all éivilized nations, are adopted by international law, and therefore seem to these committees properly | applicable to me present position, FRANCE. Terrific Explosion on Board a Span- m Passenger Ship. vA lei Fifty-five Persons Killed---The Wreck on Fire. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. MARSEILLES, June 16, 1872. While the Spanish steamship Guadayea was lying in this port to-day, crowded with passengers, her boilers exploded. The entire upper portion of the ship was torn to pieces, Of those on board few escaped death or injury. Forty-four passengers and eleven of the officers and crew were killed. Immediately after tne explosion the steamer took fire, and the flames communicated to the dock. A serious conflagration was threatened. Several hundred bales of cotton were consumed, when the flames were subdued. GERMANY. oes The Labor Question in Berlin—Capital Pitted Against the Workmen. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

SEES Gee SES, DR. HOUARD UNRELEASED. What America Demands as Right---What Spain May Grant as Courtesy. THE FARRAGUT MONUME: Was the Tariff Alteration a Blunder or a Fraud ? The Tobacco Men Uneasy About Bonded Weed. WASHINGTON, June 17, 1872, The Case of Dr. Houard. A few weeks before the close of the late session of Congress several gentlemen of high oficial position had a private conference, with a view of strength- ening our navy, While they did not meditate hos- tile measures they were of opinion that the position of Spain toward tho United States required this government to be prepared to assert its power in case of an emergency and entorce a compliance with its reasonable demands. It was known at the time that Spain was tardy in acting upon the case of Dr. Houard—the Chargé d’Atfaires at Madrid having been instructed by Secretary Fish, on March 9, to remonstrate against the proceedings of the Spanish authorities in Cuba concerning him, as a violation of the treaty of 1795, and to ask his immediate release; further, that on March 26 our Chargé dl’ Affaires was instructed to the Spanish government. President Grant, on re- celving a letter from Mrs. Dutton in behalf of her brother, Dr. Houard, made an endorsement upon it before he sent it to the Department of State, ex- pressing in brief but emphatic terms his indigna- tion at the manner in which the Doctor had been treated, he having been arrested eighteen months ago and sent to Spain on the 4th of March last. It seems, however, that nothing decisive resulted from the conference of the prominent gentlemen to whom reference has been made. The Spanish gov- ernment, through its former Minister, Mr, Roberts, had asked for the recall of the American Minister on the ground that he had made hus presence distasteful by interfering with the political questions of that country, The communication was made verbally. As the case of M. Catacazy was adverted to, there seemed to be no difficulty in ridding Madrid of the presence of the objectionable Minister. Not long | ago the American Minister returned to Madrid to reiterate the instructions relative to Dr, Houard and to present his letter gf recall. _ Although it is said in oficial quarters that our re- lations with Spain are friendly no successor to the American Minister will be appointed until several matters in the controversy, including the liberation of Dr. Houard, shall be adjusted, The Spanish government has as yet failed to be convinced that Dr. Houard is a citizen of the United States, but it may release him as a friendly act, in accord- ance with the request of this government, tnforma- tion to this effect having been received. Balloon Observations in the Signal Ser- vice. Observer Sergeant Schaeffer, of the Signal Ser- vice, has received orders to hold himself in readt- ness to make a balloon ascension from Boston on the 4th proximo, for the purpose of scientific ob- servation of the upper air currents. The ascension is to be the first of a series inaugurated by the War Department Signal Omee for the solution of ques- tions in relation to aerial currents. Sergeant Schaeffer is supplied with a complete set of instru- ments, and will make a formal report of the results of his observations. The Alteration in the Tariff Act. The Internal Revenue office has issued in pam- phiet form, so much of the act of Congress approved June 6 as provides for the reduction of internal taxes and other purposes. The concluding section as printed contains the word “August, 1872,” as the date on which the act shall take effect, except where otherwise provided. This word is in the enrolled billas filed in the Department of State, which furnished the Internal Revenue office with acopy of it. Itis known who, before the bill was engrossed, erased the word “July” and substituted that of “August.” The explanation the person gives for so doing is that he understood that several members of the conference committee so directed. But in this he erred, The Artist Competition for the Farragut Monument. The Joint Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds say they will exercise their best judgment in carrying out the law of Congress appropriating $20,000 for a statue of the late Admiral Farragut, to be faithful in form and fea- ture, and most appropriate for erec- tion / in Farragut square. Artists have frof now until the 1st of January next to prepare thgir designs. The selection is tobe made within thirty days thereafter by the committee. They are assured that impartiality and fairness will be strictly regarded toward all competitors, A Douceur for Duty. Ex-President Johnson recently received $4,000 as a refund of tax on his salary, the same principle having been applied to President Grant under a judicial decision.

Commander Skerrett isto have command of the expedition. The Yantic is being rapidly fitted out at Norfolk, and will be ordered to the East India squadron. She is expected to sail some time in July. The monitor Mahopac, also fitting out at Norfolk, will | be ready for sea in a few weeks. The repairs will | make her more effective than ever. Tobacco Manufacturers in a “Stew.” The tobacco manufacturers, who have been stor- ing large quantities of tobacco in bonded ware- | } houses since the 6th of June, the day when the | new revenue law was signed by the President, are astonished at the decision of Commissioner Dong: | lass, that tobacco put in bond since that date and withdrawa for consumption must pay the present tax of thirty-two cents per pound, The Commis- sioner says that the wording of the lawis to that effect, and that only the tobacco in bond on that day is entitled to be withdrawn after July 1, at the new rate of twenty cents per pound. Telegrams and let- ters in large numbers were yesterday received from merchants in New York, Philadephia, Baltimore and Richmond, asking if there is not some mis- take. Mr. Douglass replied that he had no disere- tion in the matter, and the parties aggrieved must | appeal to Congress for relief. A number of tobacco dealers are under the impression that after July 1 they will be entitled toa refund of the difference in the old tax of thirty-two cents and the new tax of | twenty cents on all tobacco in their possession. Commissioner Douglass is preparing @ letter to the effect that such applications are useless, x8 no such provision is made in the new law.
