the stay, and with it time for the Comptroller to liquidate the indebtedness. But the Comp- troller would not liquidate, and the wheels of justice must continue their revolutions unob- structed. The result was that Judge Brady yesterday granted an order vacating the stay of proceedings, the effect of which was to permit Mr. Brower to levy upon city property and have the same sold by the Sheriff to satisfy his claim. Mr. Brower now selected as the most fitting subject of his levy the old portraits of our ex-Governors in the Govern- or’'s Room. And thus the case stands. Judge Brady did all he could to save the city from such disgrace. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Green will be forthcom- ing with the money to pay this claim, or whether the uction will be forthcoming at the time specified—11 A. M. next Monday. A curious spectacle would be the sale of these venerable portraits; a curious throng would their sale gather to- gether; into curious places they would find their way; and the whole thing, in short, would be a curious comment upon the financial stability of our much vaunted metropolis of the New World, Pleasure Voyage from Germany to the United States. A pleasure excursion from Bremen to the United States is one of the principal topics of conversation in Berlin at present. The trip is all arranged, we believe; and ao number of Fatherlanders, who have never sniffed tho air of the salt sea, will dare the deed of a pas- sage across the Atlantic, to see the land of whose wondrous growth and increasing im- portance they had heard and read so much. They propose leaving about the middle of July, so as to avoid the musical noise and artistic sconfusion of Gilmore's Jubilee, By the time the party lands here Boston will be pretty well over the effects of the musical maelstrom; so, should they visit the modern Athens, they may find it more dull and prudish than it usually is. However, apart from all this, we are glad to see a movement of this kind inaugurated, and we hope it will be emulated in other European cities. While thousands of Americans annually visit Europe comparatively few Europeans come to this country; yet the attractions which they can find here cannot be excelled in the world. ‘Those who have made the tour of the United States and ‘done’ America as wo “do” Europe, left the country both surprised and pleased. They found here what they failed to find on the Continent—a new, vigorous, inde- pendent life, as it were, growing up with rapidly increasing cities, which marked the line of travel over which they passed. To those German visitors the trip will be pecu-» liarly interesting, and we hope they will return home with pleasant recollections of the new Fatherland in the West. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

The following special despatch to the Henatp has been received from our corre- spondent serving at the seat of the Alabama claims arbitration, in Geneva, Switzerland: — Geneva, June 17, 1872. There is some reason to suppose, just at this moment—four o'clock in the afternoon— that the main difficulty which has hitherto presented in the matter and work of the Ala- bama claims arbitration between Groat Britain and the United States has been found and that a basis has been reached upon which it is possible to continue the arbitration towards a final conclusion. 4 DESPATCH FROM GRANVILLE AND ENGLISH CON- SULTATION. The English agents serving before the Court received on Sunday night, the 16th inst., a lengthy despatch from their govern- ment in London, and, immediately subse- quent to its receipt, there was a meeting and prolonged consultation between Sir Roundell Palmer and Mr. William M. Evarte. News had been published here just before which alleged that Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had stated in the House of Lords that the English agents accredited before the Tribunal would present a summary of the Queen's Cabinet argument to the arbitrators; but the subsequent explanation mado by the Right Honorable Secretary, Granville, with reference to the point of assertion, was not generally known among the diplomats. This, the first statement, therefore greatly mystified both sides, as no summary had been presented, the English agents wondering how a summary could have been presented without their knowledge. OFFICIAL EXPLANATION, During the meeting which was had between Sir Roundell Palmer and Mr. Evarts all this apparent contradiction and slight initiatory of a muddle was explained, and a distinct understanding had upon other points set forth in the English despatch. PREPARING FOR PROLONGED DUTY. The different members of the Court are making preparations to remain in or near to Geneya for a considerable pernod of time. THE SESSION OF MONDAY, JUNE 17. The Court of Arbitration assembled in ses- sion atthe hour of two o'clock in the after- noon to-day. The members arrived at the council room in the Hotel de Ville in the following order :— M. Favrot, the Secretary, came first ; Citizen Jacob Staempfli, representative of the republic of Switzerland; His Excellency Baron Itajuba; the American party of counsel and others; His Excellency Count Sclopis, the President; and citizen Charles Francis Adams, of the United States, and then the English party. ‘The Court remained in conference nearly one hour. At three o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Cush- ing and Mr. Evarts, with other Americans, left the place of assemblage. Very shortly afterwards Sir Roundell Palmer and Mr. Ban- croft Davis came out together. They were chatting and laughing, and appeared, gen- erally, as if they were in very good spirits over the result of the day’s discussion. AMERICAN COURTESY TO AN ILL SERVED ARISTO- CRAT. Lord Tenterden, with others of the English representatives, discovered on arriving in the courtyard that their carriage had, through some blunder of the servants in charge, been sent away. Mr. Bancroft Davis, who had been detained in the courtyard of the Hotel de Ville in company with Sir Roundell Palmer, observed the cause of inconvenience imme- diately and politely offered the use of his car- riage to the English party. & HAPPY LAUGH AND GROWING HOP. Judging by the good humor prevailing on all sides at the instant it was not difficult to see that the meeting of the Court which had just. taken place had not been very discourag- ing. REASSEMBLAGE OF THE COURT. The arbitrators are just now sitting in ses- sion again. ADJOUBNED TO JUNE 19. The outside world knows nothing at this moment of the proceedings, except the fact that another adjournment has been agreed upon. I have just learned—half-past four o'clock P. M.—that the Geneva Court of Arbitration has been adjourned from to-day until Wednes- day next, the 19th inst., then to reassemble at the hour of two o'clock in the afternoon. CONDITION OF THE AMERICAN CASE. The session of the tribunal to-day was un- + important, for the reason that no progress whatever was made toward a settlement. The point before the tribunal remains quite as much in doubt as if the session had not taken place. In fuct, on this vitally important point— adjournment and its collaterals—and also on that of the power which the arbitrators havo in relation to it, the Court itself is just as ab- solutely at sea as are the people of the two nations. There may be a diplomatic purpose to the policy of thus going on from day to day. It makes part of the American tactics at least. The motion to-day for an adjourn- ment came, like as did the motion on Saturday, from Mr. Davis, and, also like that of the 15th inst., was based upon a statement that he had not yet received from his government full and necessary instructions on this point of difficulty. Consequently the point was not agreed on, nor even was the ground broken for its discussion at a future day. 9 With the exception, therefore, of the an- nouncement of Mr. Davis of the fact of his non- reception of instructions, the session to-day was conducted by a rather easy conversational ex- change of the individual views and sentiments of the different members of the Court. This was especially the case after the retirement of the agents and counsel, who withdrew from the room a few minutes before three o'clock. TALKING IT OVER ON THE BENCH. The arbitrators remained together an hour longer. THE BRITISH MOTION FOR AN EIGHT MONTHS’ ADJOURNMENT. Something, however, of the views which are entertained on either side has been obtained. It appears that the English are resolute for an eight months’ delay, and that this will not be conceded, although a shorter term of delay might be accepted. The policy of the Ameri- cans in admitting any moment of delay ap- pears to be that England, by accepting an adjournment, admits herself to be already within the power of the Arbitration Court, and cannot refuse to acknowledge other decis- ions, for the reason that they, or any single one of the rulings, may be less agreeable to her wishes or interests. THE SUPPLEMENTARY ARTICLE AND THE AMERI- CAN SENATE. Tho general view of the Court is against a postponement for eight months. The Court believes that if the President of the United States was disposed to go further in regard to the supplementary article to the Treaty of Washington he could convene the American Senate in a few weeks, and that if he will not convene the Senate in a few weeks he will not in eight months. It is regarded, therefore, as unlikely that there will be any change in the American position, and the English, reading in the light of their present instructions from Downing street, will certainly and peremp- torily abandon the treaty if they are not ac- ceded the full eight months’ adjournment delay. EQUITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE ARBI- TRATORS. The members of the Arbitration Court are evidently giving the whole business their most anxious serious care, and dealing with the mat- ter so that their action may not, in the very slightest degree, embarrass or compromise either party. If the Court should make any suggestion it is believed that it will be something in the nature of a compromise; but at present the tribunal merely listens to the statements which are made on both sides, BRITISH REPORT FROM GENEVA. An English Protest and the Right of With- drawal—Hope of an Arrangement— The Talk of Adjournment. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, GENEVA, June 17, 1872, The summary of the British argument was ac- companied by a protest reserving the right of Eng- land to withdraw from the arbitration if the nego- tiations with the American government relative to the indirect olaims fail to result satisfactorily to the government of the former country. The proceedings before the Tribunal of Arbitra- tion are carried on partly in English and partly in French.

Earl Granville and Premier Gladstone on the Ge- neva Arbitration—The English Argument Not Presented—Cabinet Policy for an Adjournment After Secretary Fish’s Despatoh. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, June 17, 1872, In the House of Lords this evening Lord Camns asked whether the report that a printed copy of the argument for Great Britain had been presented at Geneva was true. Earl GRANVILLE replied that he had already stated what England would do at Geneva, and refused to disclose what he privately knew. Lord Carns said the answer was unintelligible, and he repeated his question, Earl GRANVILLE~“The argument has not been presented.” The brevity of the reply provoked much laughter. In the House of Commons this evening, in reply to inquiries made by Mr. Bouverie and Lord Cecil | with reference to the proceedings at Geneva, Mr. Gladstone replied that the report that a summary of the British argument on the Alabama claims had been presented was incorrect. Great Britain had made application to the arbitrators for an adjourn- ment, doing so in reliance on Secretary Fish’s despatch, It was possible the arbitrators might not come to a decision on this question in to-day’s sitting; hence it would not be courteous to make a full statement, THE QUESTION IN WASHINGTON. EEE Bancroft Davis Asks Instractions Rela- tive to a Postponement at Geneva, WASHINGTON, June 17, 1872. Secretary Fish returned to Washington this even- ing, and found on his arrival a despatch from Ban- croft Davis, our agent at Genova, advising him that at the session of the tribunal to-day THE BRITISH AGENT HAD REPRESENTED that @ difference in the construction of the lan- guage of the proposed amendment had arisen, and that, while the two governments were substantially agreed on the principle which it was proposed to establish, there were objections on the part of the British government to the manner in which the Senate had expressed its amendments; that the British government had on the 30th May last made @ proposition to the United States to AMEND THE LANGUAGE OF THE ARTICLE agreed to by the Senate by an agroement upon a form of words which would meet the obligations desired to be placed upon neutrals, without peing open to the objection which they felt to the word- ing of the article as proposed by the Senate, and that if any adjournment could be had the two governments might probably agree upon a satis- factory wording of the article, Mr. Davis said that his government had agreed to waive claims for compensation for the prolongation of the war, enhanced rates of insurance and transfer of our marine, if the British government would accept the amendment proposed, but that as the article had not been ratified he was instructed to say that the claims were, in the opinion of his government, PROPERLY BEFORE THE TRIBUNAL, and that our interpretation of the treaty would re- quire the arbitrators to consider the claims as before them until the principle proposed to be established had been ratified in a Supplemental Treaty; that we had no desire to postpone arbitra- tion, and that before he could consent to adjourn- ment ne would have to ask for instructions from Washington, and for that purpose asked an adjournment of the tribunal until Wednesday next, by which time he would be in receipt of advices from the President. The request was accordingly granted, and the matter will be the subject of consideration at the Cabinet meeting to-morrow.

There is great: activity and preparation here among a certain class of politicians for the coming conference in New York on the 20th, and there is 48 Much speculation here as elsewhere as to the aims and ends of that meeting. Although this Place and its surroundings may be justly termed the nest in which the first new political movement against Grant was hatched and raised into respect- able proportions, so may it be equally termed the abiding place of more prominent antagonists to that ofpring than can be found elsewhere, Yet the general public here appear to be as IGNORANT OF THE INTENTIONS of the men that go from here to the conference on the 20th, in New York, as are the people of the most distant provincial town, To enlighten them and the people generally as to the desires and inclina- tion of these people the HERALp's writer this morn- ing took occasion to see several of the more promi- nent gentlemen who will go from here to that conference, In my stroll after that informatton I first called upon GOVERNOR J. D. COX, who may be said to be the ablest of the malcon- tents here. He was at his law office, surrounded with all the paraphernalia of advanced legal life. He received me kindly, invited me to a seat and seated himself for the talk. After the usual com- pliments I said :— “I suppose you are preparing for New York, aw [ See you are expected there soon.’? “Yes, sir’ said he; “I go on to-morrow, to en- gage in the conference on the 20th.’ “There has been and still is,” said I, “a great deal of speculation as to the objects of that con- ference.” “Well, sir, the cail was prepared in the East, and all the arrangements for the meeting have been made there; and, as to the motives of those gentle- men there who will take part in the conference, we here know little, of course, but the delegation from here will go for the purpose of doing the best thing possible to HARMONIZE THE DIFFERENT RLEMENTS."" “The avowed object of the conference is not, then, to endeavor to bring the discordant elements to Mr. Greeley?” said I. “do net so understand it," he repted. ‘I re- Le it as a meeting of gentlemen representing dif- ferent ideas for the purpose of determining what is best to be done in view of the present situation of affairs, and to recommend such a future policy to all the opponents of the present administration as will insure succss.”” “It ts generally understood that you ana the whole delegation with you from here will not con- sent to support Mr. Greeley under any circum- stances.” “Well, air, Ido not think it would be advisable to advertise that we went toa conference of gentle- men seeking to bring about harmony with our minds made up beyond hope of change, nor do I think that trae.”’ “Is it expected that that conference will present a candidate of their own should Mr. Greeley be re- jected by it "7 “That may be possible.’ . “Will a large delegation go from Ohio ?" “Ah, yes, quite a numoer from different parts of the State, 'I suppose.’ Finding the Governor willing to talk, but very non-committal, I bade him good morning, and went to the office of FE. W. KITTREDGE, a signatory for the call of conference and a partner of Judge Stallo. He, like Governor Cox, was among his law books. He was rather more open than the Governor, and said that it was the intention of the conference at New York to present a candidate to the people, and he believed MR. ADAMS THE MAN, He declared that the Ohio delegation would go to | the conference prepared not to submit to any arrangement that would look to an endorsement of Mr. Greeley under any circumstances. He said Mr. Greeley represented nothing that they repre- sented, and that most of the liberal republicans of Ohio would support Grant before Greeley. “Do you think,” I asked, “that the conference will present @ candidate and ask the Baltimore Convention to endorse him?’ “I have not the slightest doubt that it will | he pina gran and if the Balttmore Conven- ‘ion sees fit to endorse him, well and good; but,” said he, “although I signed the call for the confer- ence, I shall not attend. Judge Stallo goes in m; place, _representin, the same sentiment and element that I do, besides an additional German. element that Ido not.” After a moment's further conversation I left, and, accidentally meeting JUDGE STANLEY MATTHEWS, late temporary Chairman of the Liberal Republican Jonvention, I said:— udge, are you going to the conference at New York on the 20th 7" “No, sir,’’ he replied. “When the call was pre- sented tome Ideclined to sign it. I regard the | race for the Presidency as settled between Grant and Greely, and between the two 1 GO FOR GRANT." “Then fou do not think the conference at New York on the 20th will result in harmonizing all the elements of opponents to Grant and Greeley 9"? “Not by any means,” he answered. “I do not think it is called for that purpose, and if it is it will fall far short of its mark. at a man going from Ohio to it will support Greeley under any circum- stances I do not believe.” Ithen left him, and during the evening met several otner gentlemen, all of whom confirmed the | statement of Mr. Kittredge and Judge Matthews, | Ex-Secretary Cox left for New York this evening | to attend a meeting at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on the 20th current. In conversation with him prior to departure he said, in substance, that the Stein- way Hall meeting intended to call a subsequent conference of liberals of the same class as those engaged in that meeting, but it was found that some of those who were supporting Greeley gave encouragement to the idea of their favoring a movement to put such & man as Adams in the fleld, and on their suggestion terms of invitation were extended so as to include men In the posi- tion of SCHURZ, HORACE WHITE AND BOWLES, and that Senator Schurz was willing to unite in the call when this was done. It is understood that the majority of the meeting will be of those who have refused to support Mr. Greele; but enough persons of other phases of purpose will be there for a full conference and a comparison of all sorts of views. The gentlemen named above are in no way committed to change their attitude unless con- vinced of the duty of doing so by the conference. THE PIRST GREELEY FLAG IN BUFFALO, BurFAa1o, N.
