The following special despatch to the Heraup has been received from our oorre- spondent serving at the seat of : the Alabama claims arbitration in Geneva, Switzerland :— Geneva, June 18, 1872. Another very busy day has been passed by the agents and counsel of the two contracting arbitrating Powers—England and the United ‘States. ; CONSULTATIONS OF THE COUNS AND CONCEN- 2” GRATION OF CABINET ADVICES. ' From an early hour this morning the learned gentlemen who have charge of the Ala- bama claims case have been engaged‘in pro- longed consultations, dispersing and reassem- bling at intervals. had arranged some pleasant excursions to dif- ferent points of interest in the neighborhood | of the city with an early. start this morning, but the chief agents on both sides received im- | portant despatches from their governments which caused a postponement of the trip. Shortly before ten o'clock this morning Sir Roundell Palmer visited Mr. William M. Evarts, and repeated his visit at a later hour -of the day calling on Mr. Evarts again in the afternoon. Mr. Evarts had a long conversa- tion with the British counsel at the Hotel des Bergues. In fact, both agents and counsel have been fully occupied, not only in seeing Last night the Americans each other, but in receiving and forwarding lengthy despatches. It is possible that a more experienced ne- gotiator than the Right Honorable Lord Ten- terden would find moments of rest, but his lordship is too much overweighted with de- ‘patches. THE QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT. It is evident that unless counsel on both sides come to some agreement to-night, acting upon the instructions of their governments, the Court will meet again Wednesday, the 19th | iftstant, pro forma, and be requested once more to adjourn. In that event I shall not be surprised to hear of an adjournment for sev- eral days, because the agents of both parties find that an adjournment interval of one day does not afford sufficient time for the trans- mission of their telegraphic despatchos to’ the | | | | Cabinets, and in this respect the Americans are | at a greater disadvantage than the British, as | their communications must be sent from Ge- | neva to London and thence to Washington. TELEGRAPH CORPORATION COURTESIES. Both governments receive the best attention and assistance of the Swiss and French tele- graph directors. A CHANGE OF POSITION OR SHIFT OF THE GROUND? It is not improbable that an adjourn- ment will enable one or both sides of the arbitrating parties to surrender their present ground of stand, or consent to certain modifications of the position, which neither one could have done before without exposing itself to the charge of having given way to dictation from the opposite side. GRANVILLE AND FISH THE CENTRES OF LIGHT. It is very evident just now that efforts are being made to effect an adjournment till next week, in the hope that Earl Granville and Mr. Secretary Fish may, in the meantime, arrive at some point of understanding, so as to en- able the arbitrators to commence their real work for a settlement of the Alabama claims case. NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AS EXHIBITED IN MOMENTS OF RECREATION. The arbitrators have passed their leisure time since the assemblage ina manner quite characteristic of their previous training and national habits. His Excellency Count Sclopis, the President, as a courtly, loyal Italian gentleman, made an excursion from the Princess Clothilde, daughter of His Majesty King Victor Emmanuel and wife of Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, at her villa, which is situated a short distance out on the shores of Lake Leman. Mr. Charles Francis Adams enjoyed himself during the day at a charming antique chateau. I saw the Swiss citizen arbitrator, Jacob a Staempfii, taking his beer, sitting at a little * table in front of a café. The Right Honorable the Chief Justice of | had any right to demand; but he did it, he says, | ances between the two governments and of estab- | as NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE i9, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET.

FRATERNITY SLIGHTLY BARRED BY FORMALITY. There is in reality as yet only very little in- timate porsonal acquaintance among the mem- bers of the Court, as the sittings of the tribu- nal have been so abrupt and brief that they enjoyed no time to form more than a mere first acquaintance after introduction. THE QUESTION IN WASHINGTON. President Grant on the Treaty—Its Value and What Was Sacrificed for 1t—Emphatio De- claration Against Further Concession— The Treaty at Geneva Like Gresley at Baltimore. ‘WASHINGTON, June 18, 1872. When the newspapers announced that President | Grant, Secretary Fish and the other Cabinet mem- | bers were to be here to-day to have an extraor- dinary summer consultation it was generally be- lieved that some new developments in the never- to-be-ended Alabama Claims Treaty were to be the sufject of delibefftion. Whether this general be- lief was well founded or not your correspondent ventures not to decide; but certain it is that two of the highest oftic! of the government state that Be Rew dovelopatnt wan Made todas: So far as is learned from London or Geneva, the fact is the HERALD daily telegrams from Geneva sup- ply THE LATEST AND FULLEST INFORMATION : on this most important subject, and but little more can be learned from any other quarter. It may be said with truth this time that our government has reached a position from which it will not recede on any consideration; but how to define that position with brevity and clearness is a task of no little diMcuity. PRESIDENT GRANT DECLARES EMPHATICALLY that no more concessions shall be made, and he says it in a way that admits of no doubt of his entire sincerity and determination. He considers that in consenting to place before the Senate with- out any recommendation the now famous supple- mental article or treaty he did more than England IN THE INTERESTS OF PEACE and civilization. done to secure the blessings promised by the Treaty of Washington. He saw in the many objects of controversy between this country and England matter that might be easily MAGNIFIED INTO “ CASUS BELLI"? at no distant day and on very light pretexts. He saw in this principle of arbitration a grand prin- ciple, which, if carried out under the Treaty of Washington, would furnish an example by which all future international difficulties might be settled without the loss of adollar or the sacrifice of a single drop of blood. A principie “like this should not be lightly thrust aside, and only { after every honorable effort to preserve it should the American government respect- fully abandon it. Religiously holding these views of the importance of removing all the griev- lishing the great principle of peaceful arbitration, the President says he patiently entertained all reasonable and honorable propositions made by England, but when the latter showed herself dissat- isfled with the supplemental article and com- menced” QUIBBLING ABOUT MERE WORDS he considered that it was trifling with a great sub- ject and almost an insult to the American Senate. He believed the professed objection of England to the wording of the supplemental article to be that no definition of direct or indirect claims was found in the article—in other words, England hinted that what we abandoned indirect claims we might smuggle before the tribunal of arbitration as direct claims. This the President considers is not justified by the | language of the amended supplemental article, and to ask the Senate to still further amend tt, so that direct and indirect claims might be defined accord- ing to THE NOTIONS OF GLADSTONE AND GRANVILLE, would be simply to insinuate that our Senate had not comprehended the work which It had before it for calm delibergtion. “Therefore,” said the Presi- | dent, “when the English government proposed another supplemental treaty I said, ‘No, it carmot be done; we have gone as far as we can, and we will make no further concessions. If the treaty fail the responsibility must be with England. We have fulfilled all the conditions strictly and literally. On the question of adjournment of the arbitration to give more time for negotiation the position of our government is exactly as stated in former de- spatches to the HERALD Irom this city, as well as from Geneva. The President and Secretary Fish believe ‘that there is no good ground for further delay, but at the same time they are NOT ABSOLUTELY OFPOSED TO ADJOURNMENT. They will not join England in an application for adjournment, but if the arbitrators, on the ex parte showing of the English agents, grant an eight months’ or other adjournment our government | will be content to abide the issue and will waive all claims to a strict enforcement of the fifth article of the treaty, which provides that the final aagument on both sides shall be sub- mitted within two months of the filing of the coun- ter-cases. Of course our agents at Geneva OPPOSED THE APPLICATION for an adjournment, on the ground that the English agents were obligated by the terms of the fifth article to submit their final arguments; but it is believed that this objection does not go to the ea- sence of the treaty. It is agreed that the treaty would stand though the English should submit no argument at all, for then their case would SIMPLY GO BY DEFAULT, like any ordinary case in Court where a case goes by default. In conversation to-day with the Presi- dent and Secretary Fish the belief was expressed that England was sincerely anxious to have the treaty ratified in good faith. A few weeks ago they both thought differently; but now they think that the chief difficulty lies in the character of the opposition to the Gladstone government, and not in any want of sincerity on the part of the lat- ter. They wish to go to work slowly and cautious!” He believed that much should be |, | vinced Great Britain that to avold any mistake that may give Dirsaell and his party an advantage, Ail the LITTLE TRICKS AND SUBTERFUGES to gain delay are dictated by this policy. Our gov- ernment believes that our interests cannot suffer by an eight months’ delay, for, in point of fact, we cannot consummate our part of the*bargain until the reassembling of Congress. In reply to the queries, “Why should we submit to any further de- lay at all? What damage will it do to our govern- ment, even though the treaty should fail to-mor- row? Why should we not abandon the treaty forthwith and tell England we do so in conse- quence of her bad faith ?”” our authorities reply that we have much to gain by the consummation of the treaty. In the first place, say they, we remove ALL BXISTING GROUNDS OF SORENESS. fn the second place, we gain many positive ad- vantages, such a8 the Canadian fisheries, the navi- gation of the St. Lawrence, and the settlement of the San Juan controversy, which is sure to be de- cided in our favor. In the thtrd place, it is thought that if this treaty fails THERE NEVER CAN BE ANOTHER TREATY with England. We never can place falth in her again, and the material prejudices on both sides will become embittered to such an extent that be- fore five years we will become embroiled in a mutually disastrous war. In the above despatch I have given you, as briefly and faithfully as I can ascer- tain, the exact position of our government and the secret motives for its extraordi- nary forbearance, which many call vacillation and weakness. It all amounts simply to this:—Our gov- ernment is adverse to further delays or trifings, England has asked an eight months’ delay, which our agents at Geneva have opposed. The Arbitra- tion Court have it under consideration, If the Court grants England's application our government will acquiesce sooner than let the treaty fail by formally withdrawing. If the Court refuses, why then WE SHALL SEE WHAT WE SHALL SER. The whole responsibility will then fall on England in & manner which she cannot evade by any fur- ther shuMing. ‘n reply to the question as to whether he thought the treaty Would fail or not, the President said to-day that the chances were just about the same at Geneva as Greeley’s at Balti- more—about an even thing. ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SITUATION. sist muller The Charge of ‘Unfriendliness’—England Sus- pects the Honor of the Arbitrators—The Her- ald Foreshadowing the Supplemental— Probable Duration of the Negotiations. WASHINGTON, June 18, 1872. The following statements regarding the pending differences between the United States and Great Britain before the Geneva Tribunal have been obtained from an authoritative source :— The real motive of the opposition of Great Britain to the fulfilment of the provisions of the treaty did not arise so much from the chapter relative to con- sequential damages as from that portion RELATING TO “UNFRIENDLINESS.”’ The American case being in the hands of the British public so long ago as last “April was at first discussed with amazement, and subsequently re- ceived the disapproval of certain prominent organs of public opinion, including the Saturday Review. To this time no declaration had been made against the position of the United States regarding conse- quential damages of a formal or threatening chai acter; but the British Ministry now found it necessary to seek some objectionable point in the treaty for the purpose of meeting the popular clamor against the chapter on “unfriendliness.” With this object in view, they began the correspondence relative to the question of consequential damages, the ulterior motive of which was to dispose of or abrogate the charge of ‘‘unfriendliness."’ They | agreed that from the treaty the chapter regard- ing consequential damages would necessarily result in the FINAL OBLITERATION OF THE CHARGE | of unfriendliness, which was mainly based upon the acts which led to those consequential damages. The political influences at work in Great Britain to accomplish this result, and which compelled the British Ministhy to seek a reason, an opportunity, to meet and overcome the popular clamor against the charge of unfriendliness, may. be discovered in the threatened tenure of the Ministry, which was responsible for the negotiation of the treaty. Ap- parently the British Ministry awoke to a knowledge of the fact that tke American case, as then made up, had within it every EVIDENCE OF FINAL SUCCESS. The relations of the United States with those gov- ernments from which the members of the Board of Arbitration were selected had been minutely set forth for the purpose of showing that the United | States had, under any and all circumstances, pre- served a consistent course of the strictest neutral- ity wherever and whenever wars had occurred, pending which this government was called upon to act asa neutral. The shrewdness or Tiplomacy of thus alluding to the relations between the United States and the governments which furnished the controlling members of tie Board of Arbitration will be apparent to any one, and no doubt con- HER CASE WAS IN JEOPARDY. As early as last December Great Britain attempted, | in an informal manner, to obtain an organization | of the Board. In fact, from the time that the Amer- ican case was presented until last Saturday, or per- haps a few days before, the evident desire of Great Britain has been either to postpone the final adju- dication of the case, or to so change the terms of the treaty as to obviate THE ALMOST CERTAIN RESULT of the arbitration in favor of the United States, The public, and especially the readers of the HERALD, are fully aware of the points embraced in | presented the Senate amendment, | way, says 12,000 men employed in the mines at and the correspondence which led to the suggestion of the supplementary article, Every step and each successive idea advanced by either side in this cor- respondence was made the subject of mature con- sideration by the American government, and re- | ceived the approval of the President and his entire Cabinet, The exact character of the terms of that supplementary article were published in an editorial article in the HERALD of April 22 last, the following extract from which is sufficient to show their entire meaning :— “As the old clogin the treaty becomes more firmly fixed, specific nostrums to remove it may be ex- pected to be plentifally prescribed. The latest of these, a solemn agreement on England's part not to demand, in case of future war, any consequen- tial damages for Alabamic acts committed by Amer- ican citizens, 1s @ capital way of asking England how she would like to put herself in our piace in the matter. It is to be feared that there is a cool irony in the proposition." This proposition was not emboflied in the sup- plemental article, as proposed by Granville and submitted fo our Senate; but the foregoing ex- tract contains the substance of the §enate amendments to that article. A moment's refiec- tion will show that such @ proposition did not Temove or overcome the charge of ‘“unfriendli- ness,” but, in fact, renewed it with a vigor that made it more objecttonable than before. Hence it was that the British Ministry objected to its ratification, or rather refused to accept it. They had failed in their informal efforts towards a Teorganization of the Board of Arbitration, and in their efforts to remove the nblectionable clause in | lie. The meeting is merely a conference for the pur- | think of uniting or pacifying the opposition to Mr. the treaty had met with unexpected discomfiture. It ia part of THE SECRET {1STORY OF THIS TRANSACTION that the Senate amendment was antictpated and perhaps prompted by the State Department, or more properly by the Cabinet. Up to last Saturday, when the Board met at Geneva, neither government had, in the language of @ prominent Washington official, “budged an inch from the line of programme laid down by the provisions of the treaty.” Particularly was and is this the case with the United States, which latter government filed its argument with the Board in accordance With those provisipns at that time. The British government, however, did not file its argu- ment at that time. This fact, however, does not, In the opinion of the United States, amount to a violation of the treaty. It is, nevertheless, A NON-OBSERVANCE OF ITS PROVISIONS, The technical difference between the terms vio- lation and Non-observance are apparent, and ac- cording to the opinion entertained here will, if it exerts any influence at all, redound to the benefit of the party which has strictly observed even the most minute stipulations of the treaty. We now claim that the Board has supremo aud absolute control over the whole question. We appear in the position of a party before a Court of justice, the opponent to which is liable ta lose his case by de- fault, The British motion before the Board is to adjourn or postpone, and, so fur as the State Department ts advised, NO DEFINITE PERIOD OF ADJOURNMENT has been mentioned. The statement that Great Britain desired a postponement until February has been made possibly with authority from that side of the water, but asa matter of convenience it is not acceptable to our government, We could not, after the ratification and exchange of any new article and the meeting of the Board in February, have time for the completion of necessary legisla- tion, regarding free navigation, the fisheries, lum- ber on the St. Johns River, &c., &c., before the 4th of March, when Congress must necessarily adjourn. ‘The next meeting of Congress, IN DECEMBER, 1873, would be the first occasion offered in which to com- plete this Jegisiation, Again, tf the selection of a board of assessors should be decided upon it would be necessary that Congress should make provisions therefor. However, the government here is not in the least anxious about this feature of the case, and having strictly complied with all the requirements of the treaty will abide the decision of the Board, WITHOUT FEAR OF UNFAVORABLE RESULTS. A money award under any circumstances would not be paid down, but would bear interest from the date of the award, and if Great Britain should lose the case by default, which is not expected, the United States would gain nothing except the in- terest on the amount awarded. The Board, under the provisions of the treaty, is requested to reach a final DECISION WITHIN THRER MONTHS, “IF POSSIBLE." The words “if possible’ do not make it man- datory on the Board to reach that decision before the 15th of August, and consequently if the pro- ceedings now go on _ without adjournment it does not necessarily follow that the end will be reached before next year. If an adjournment is granted our government will receive any communication that may be offered by Great Britain in a friendly spirit, bat having taken the Senate into confidential relations regarding the pending negotiations, and having NOT EXACTLY AS AN ULTIMATUM, but as the most favorable terms of accommodation in our power, will be compelled to await the reas- sembling of that body before another agreement in the premises may be reached.

There can be no further room for doubt that all the gentlemen who go from the West to the conference are un- compromisingly opposed to Greeley, and will not in any event support him.

Kimball, of Portland, Nominated for Governor—The Platform Fully En- dorses Greeley and Brown. Banaor, June 18, 1872. The Democratic State Convention assembled at Norombega Hall this morning, and was‘called to order by General J. H. Butler, of Hampden, the Chairman of the State Committee. J. C. Madigan, of Houlton, was chosen to preside. He acknow- ledged the compliment in a speech, warmly advo- cating the nomination of Horace Greeley at Balti- more, which was enthusiastically received. It was evident from the first what the result of the Con- vention would be, his remarks in regard to the “modern Cincinnatus, the farmer of Chappaqua,” being received with deafening cheers. Every refer- ence to the Cincinnati Convention called forth pro- longed applause. C. B. Morton, of Augusta; George 0. Gosse, of Portland; George A. Nichols, of Scars- port, and Joseph J. Hopkins were chosen secreta- ries. W. H. McCreniier, of Bangor, moved that Charles P. Kimball, of Portland, be nominated for Goveruor by acclamation, The motion was sec: onded by Mr. W. H. Clifford, of Portland, and unani- mously carried by a rising vote, with cheers, The Convention reassembled at three o'clo The county delegations reported nominations for the Committee on Resolutions. The following are the members of the State Com- mittee:—Alonzo Garcelon, James ©. Madigan, A. W. Bradbury, George W. Clark, Monroe Young, B. F. Parrott, Edward K. O’Brien, R. T. Runlett, Sam- uel R. Carter, Charles W. Roberts, D. T. Saun- ders, E. T. etn W. D. Hayden, C. C. Roberts, S. D. Leavitt and Henry K. Bradbury. J.C. MADIGAN, the permanent President, intro- duced C. P, KIMBALL, of Portland, as the “to be successful candidate for Governor,” who was enthusiastically received, and made a stirring speech in acceptance of his nomination and in sup- port of the nominations of the Cincinnati Conven- tion. He was followed by B. BRADBURY, of Portland, in the same strain, after which the Convention pro- ceeded to ballot for delegates at large. The following is the platform, as reported by the Committee on Resolutions and adopted by the Con- vention :— Resolved, That the principles enunciated by the late Cincinnati’ Convention, taken in connection with the Greeley accepting the nomi ituite a platform on which elements in oppo to the present corrupt administra- tion of the federal government can stand, and we hereb: adopt as the platform of the democracy of Maine the fol- lowing propositions of Horace Greele (Here follow the nine propositions letter referred to.) resolved, That we believe the great, reforms f x letter. formally stated in the Re which be best patriotic men of all parties are now laboring ca obtained by supporting as a candidate for our next Presi- dent Horace Greeley, and to vote for the Cmcinnati candidate: Resolved, That we pledge to the nominee of this Conven- tion our united effort: hail his election as the commencement of @ 1 political era, at large to the Baltimore Eben F.

At the Democratic District Convention held in the City Hall this morning, Marcellus Emery, edi- tor of the Bangor Commercial, was nominated for Member of Congress from the Fifth district, and james C. Madigan, of Houlton, and William Pearson, of Bangor, were chosen delegates to the Baltimore Convention. No formal instructions were given to the dele- gates, but the sentiment of the Convention was clearly in favor of the nomination of Horace Greeley for President. MAINE GRANT REPUBLICANS. BaNGor, June 18, 1872, A Grant and Wilson banner, the first of the cam- paign in this neighborhood, was displayed last evening over the Kenduskeag bridge, and the re- publicans held a grand ratification meeting at the City Hall, where speeches were made by Mayor Wheelwright, chairman of the meeting; Hon. Han- nibal Hamlin, Hon. John A. Peters and other promi- nent citizens, music being furnished by the Bangor Cornet Band. Much enthusiasm was manifested, A TEETOTAL INVITATION TO GREELEY, TROY, June 18, 1872.

Greater powers have been delegated them by the Mikado, and foreign Powers will be made fuliy acquainted with Japanese views ere the Embassy returns, which is now stated to be in a year, tw- stead of eight months. AMERICAN DIPLOMACY IN THE TRA DISTRICT. The intention of the American government to de- mand the throwing open to foreigners of the whole country, or at least the tea district around Surugo, has met with cordial favor from all parties. The American Chargé’s visit to the district has reanited most satisfactorily. The officials everywhere re- ceived him in @ rmost cordial manner, They ex- plained the process of raising and manufacturing tea, giving copious details of the crop in the ditter- ent stages, and ending by offeri copies of mapa, &c. The people everywhere were elated at the ‘oxpects of their country being opened to ‘eign intercourse and are preparing for the change. A NEW LOAN, Another Japanese government loan has heen effected with the Hong Kong and Shanghae banks for $2,000,000 at nine per cent. D PROGRESS, The railway between Yokohama and Yeddo—a (ia~ tance of eighteen miles over a level plain, has been under way for the past year, and has not yet been opened. The road will be a narrow gauge, and will be operated with engines of small power— thus giving but a poor idea of the means of loco- motion of the present day. NEW TEA. The new tea has arrived, and stands at forty-five to fifty-five cents per picul. The Great Repubiic takes out nearly a full cargo of new tea at high rates. MUNICIPAL REPAIRS, Three thousand merchants protested against the government widening the streets of the burned dis- trict in Jeddo to ninety feet, but the decision is adhered to notwithstanding. The government aids all who desire to build in a substantial manner. STAMPING OUT REFORM. A civil commotion near Niigate took place among the reformers.
