The Captain of a New Dominion Dug-Out Turning the American Flag Union Down with the Dominion Flag Above It. The Outrage Repeated and the Offence Endorsed. Insolence and Defiance of the Blue-Nose. Secretary Fish Says :=-=“It Amounts to Nothing!” Wasninerton, June 23, 1872. ‘The State Department has received de- ‘patches from George H. Holt, our Consul at ‘Gaspé Basin, Canada, informing our govern- ment that on the 18th inst. the American schooner James Bliss was seized by the Do- minion cutter Stella Marie off Anticosti Island, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, for alleged vio- Aation of the Dominion laws in regard to in- shore fishing. The schooner James Bliss was taken to Gaspé, where she arrived on Thurs- day last. As she entered the port it was ob- ferved that the Dominion flag was flying from the peak of the Bliss, ‘OVER THE AMERICAN FLAG, THE LATTER WITH UNION DOWN. Consul Bliss was immediately notified of the insult, and, on satisfying himself that it was 8 represented, he informed our Secretary of State that the conduct of the Dominion au- thorities had been scandalous in tho extreme. Mr. Fish then asked for full particulars, and yesterday received a despatch from Consul Holt that the commander of the Stella Marie, mpon receipt of his protest, had REPEATED THE INSULT, hoisting the Dominion flag over the American, the union still upside down. Consul Holt then appealed to the highest Canadian official, nd repeated that the conduct of the com- mander of the Dominion cutter was insulting ‘to the United States, and that he must object in the name of his government to such con- ‘duct. The commander of the cutter replied that he was compelled to obey instructions, and that the protest of the United States Con- ul was NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT WAS WRITTEN ON. Finding that our flag was still insulted, Consul Holt appealed to Captain Lavoie, the superior of Commander Lachance, and directed his at- tention to the mortifying spectacle of the Do- wminion flag flying at the masthead of the Bliss with the American flag underneath, and asked him in the name of decency to have the fault rectified at once. After discussing the right of the Dominion authorities to do as they pleased, Lavoie said that he was bound to obey orders, and if an American vessel vio- fated the laws of the Dominion WHE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES WAS NO PROTECTION 0 it, and the Dominion authorities were at fiberty to do as they pleased. Consul Holt replied that the Dominion authorities were at liberty to send the claim to the schooner Bliss before the Admiralty Court, but there was no nation on the face of the earth that, could in- ‘sult the flag of his country without making proper explanation, and that he should im- mediately report the full particulars to his government. Our Consul General, William A. Dart, at Montreal, and F. L. G. Struve, at Quebec, were at once informed of the matter, and await further instructions. It is under- stood that THE INSULT WAS PREMEDITATED, rand that it is sustained by the highest Do- minion authority. Secretary Fish, when his ttention was called to it, remarked :— “Tt amounts to nothing. Some hair- Drained Dominion official thinks he can make trouble by insulting our flag. We have Aecome accustomed to such insolence.”” The State Department is advised that the colonial fishermen are getting impatient to have the treaty put into operation, as it will give them FREE MARKETS FOR THEIR FISH in the United States, and they are well pleased whenever any indignity is offered to the United States fishing vessels, thinking that it will hasten negotiations. DEPARTURE OF LORD LISGAR FOR ENGLAND Qurpec, June 22, 1872, Lord Lisgar, the late Governor General of the Dominion of Canada, arrived here to-day. He was accompanied by Lady Lisgar and Miss Dalton, his Secretary, Fourville ; Sir Hastings Doyle, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia; Sir Hugh Allan, Sir An- tonio Brady and several members of the govern- ment. Considerable excitement prevailed at the wharf where the Scandinavian was lying, on which vessel he embarked for Liverpool with Lady Lisgar and ‘Miss Dalton. At ten o’clock A. M., when the vessel was about. to leave, the crowd, composed of the élite of the city, became very demonstrative, and cheers greeted the departing notabilities from the male portion, while the ladies incessantly waved their snowy handkerchiefs. A salute of seventeen guns was fired from the citadel as the vessel was leaving. Lord Dufferin, the newly appointed Governor General, is expected to arrive here to-morrow in the steamer Prussian.

Hopes of a Friendly Settlement Still Maintained, Judicial Power of the Court for Adjournment and the Ruling of Judgment by Default. Domestic Grief of the Brazilian Baron. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent serving at the seat of the Alabama Claims Arbitration Court, in Geneva, Switzer- land :— Geneva, June 23, 1872. All the gentlemen engaged in the matter of the settlement of the Alabama claims by arbi- tration are still absent from the city with the exception of Bancroft Davis and Caleb Cush- ing. Nothing has transpired to this hour calcu- lated to weaken the hopes which are enter- tained of a friendly settlement of the questions pending for adjudication. JUDICIAL POWER OF THE TRIBUNAL AND THE ‘QUESTION OF JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT. It is now stated that when the Board of Arbitration mects again on Wednesday, the 26th inst., the American Agent will maintain that the Tribunal can adjourn like any other court; that the powers conferred by the pro- vison under which it was constituted enable it to entertain the question of the admissability of the indirect claims, and that if England persists in a refusal to proceed with the arbi- tration America will press for judgment by default. SORROW FOR THE BRAZILIAN REPRESENTATIVE. The daughter of Baron d’Itajuba, the Bra- zilian Arbitrator, died to-day. THE QUESTION IN WASHINGTON. A New Contention at Geneva—America Still Pressing for an Expression of Opinion on the Indirect Claims, Wasxrineton, June 23, 1872. + The reception of Bancroft Davis’ despatch on Friday last to the effect that the question of the admissibility of indirect claims had passed from the hands of the agents of the two gov- ernments, and it was now under the control of the Board of Arbitration, gave rise to the opinion that what had been a matter of differ- ence between the United States and Great Britain was about to be happily ended. From despatches received here within the last two days it appears that A SERIOUS QUESTION 18 PRESENTED to the tribunal for settlement, and whigh may require an adjournmént beyond Wednesday The United States, it appears, still maintain that the claims for next for its consideration. indirect damages are within the treaty, and although a money award is neither desired nor asked, it is expected that the tribunal will make such expression of opinion on this question as it thinks proper. Mr. Adams, the‘ representative of the United States on the board, contends that the tribuual has authority to express an opin- ion as to the admissibility of these claims, while Sir Alexander Cockburn, the British arbitrator, maintains that these claims are not in the treaty and that the tribunal, therefore, CANNOT TAKE COGNIZANCE OF THEM in any form; that the motion of the British agent is to the effect to ask the tribunal to re- ject what the agent of the American govern- ment admits is not properly before them under the seventh article of the treaty; that if the two governments were agreed upon pre- senting the claims for indirect damages for ad- judication before this tribunal there would have been no occasion for the protest filed by the British agent on 15th April last. But the British government denies in toto that such claims were ever intended to be presented for adjudication, and that the decision of the tri- bunal must be that they are not within their province. While this contention is confined exclusively to the Board of Arbitrators, the de- cision DEPENDS UPON THE VOTE OF THE MAJORITY, and involves the consideration of the whole diplomatic correspondence whether the indi- rect claims are or are not in the treaty.

NEW JERSEY POLITICS. A REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. ‘What Will the Democratic Convention Do on ‘Wednesday +The Bourbon Element Strong But the Greeley Fever Not Mild—How the State Press Squinte—The Lib- eral Republican Movement. On Wednesday next the New Jersey Democratic State Convention to elect delegates to Baltimore will be held in Trenton, but the shrewdest political calculators in the State are unwilling to say posi- tively what course the Convention will pursue— whether it will fall into line with the great majority of other States which have pronounced for Greeley and Brown, or go with little Delaware and demand a straight-out democratic ticket. This is the ques- tion which everybody in Jersey is now asking everybody else, and will continue to be asked until the Convention shall have settled the matter. The fact that such a question exists renders it scarcely necessary to say that there has been a break- ing up of time-honored political points and prejudices in the State of “Morris whites’? and mosquitoes, as well as in many other demo- cratic strongholds, There, as elsewhere, men are to be found arguing vigorously for Greeley, who a few years ago gloried in being rated as rank cop- perheads, veritable Bourbons, men who, like the late Colonel Wall, would have regarded it as the highest honor of their lives to be incar- cerated in Fort Lafayette for utterance of their “honest convictions.” Others, again, who have always boasted of their patriotic con- servatism, are attacked with rabies and snap and bite viciously at the very sound of Greeley's name in counection with Baltimore. But, asa whole, the sentiment of the Jersey democracy, as near as can be judged, after careful consideration, is about evenly divided on the great question, with the chances slightly in favor of a wheel into line with New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana. ‘The Jersey Blues are not blind to the prospect at Baltimore. They admit the probability of Mr. Gree- ley'’s endorsement; but thus far have invariably followed the “watch and wait" policy, and so are in @ position to shout for Greeley (if Greeley it is), or “any other man.” THE PRESS AND LEADERS of the party are at sea on the whole subject. the day of Cincinnati up to the present th democratic papers have avoided political discussion as much us possible, and have made but slight ef- fort to lead or form public opinion. The tone of their remarks leaves no doubt but that their desire is anything but Greeley, but with a sagacity which might well have been borrowed by the metropolitan Bourbon organ they deemed it wiser to say nothing than say many things they might be compelled to humiliatingly unsiy about the time Baltimore speaks. To particniarize, the tone of the democratic press of the State may be summed up as follows:—The New- ark Journal, Greeley, if Baltimore says so; Paterson Guardian, Moun ettstown Ga- zette, Washington Star, Paterson Volksfreund (Ger- man), Jorney City Herala and x Herald, all out and out for Grecley ; randard, War- ren Journal, Monmouth ew Brunswick Times, Rahy; Democ Camden = Denroc Bergen county Citizen, Somerset Messenger, Eli beth Herald, Salem Sunbeam, all gradually veering round from’ opposing to submitting to Greeley; Hunterdon Democrat, Trenton Lrue American, Mid- dlesex Democrat, Hudson county Democrat, Plain- = field Constitutionatist. all pronounced aguinst Greeley. As it is with the papers, so it is with the leading men of the _ part; the greatest diversity of opinion prevails. Governor Parker does not like the looks of things, but is too sagacious @ politician to say he will not le’ helping hand to place Horace in the White I should Baltimore so order, John McGregor, New Jersey's member of the National Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee, thinks there 1s no hope for the democracy e ley. So thinks ex- Governor Rodn , Jacob Vanatta, and, as is reliably asserted, Attorney General Gilchrist. eral Theodore Kunyon, who once ran Governor and would not obje to be is willing to accept Greeley. rk, heretofore a most un- compromising, dyed-in-the-wool copperhead, who, doring the war, was within an ace of Fort Lafya- ette for opposing the draft, has been fighting lustily for Greeley Jor six weeks past. As a matter oi news to the Jersey politicians, it may not be out of place to say here that Mr. E.N. Fuller, former editor of the Newark Journal, whose anti-war articles resulted in his and punish- ment by fine and ‘antation during the war, 1s now inditing vigorous articles for Horace in a Chicago democratic sheet. Among the most bitter opponents of Greeley are ex-Governor Theo- dore F, Randolph, Congressman John 'T. Bird, and old Judge Naar, of Trenton, whots facetiously stylea the “Warhorse” of the Jersey democracy. Goy nor Randolph from the first was inclined to the belief that a fusion or straight-out ticket, with Theodore F,. Randolph on ft, either head or tail, is the democracy’s only sal- vation. Jt is thought that his ardor on this point has, however, cooled greatly since the extraor- dinary Fifth Avenue fiasco, which he had the honor of engineering for many weeks past. In view of all these circumstances it is reasonable to expect that the Convention at Trenton on Wednesday will be a very exciting one. Leaving the democratic situation, a word or two is in order here regarding THE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN ELEMENT. Tt has made no great show in Jersey yet, but that considerable disaffection exists in the ranks or the regulars 88 formerly organized is certain. The Con- vention jn Newark on Thursday last lacked neither enthusiasm nor respectability, Yeit ata great num- bers, There were present from 150 to 200 persons. Of “soreheads'—i, ¢., disappointed oMice seekers— there were a few, including cavalry Kil-Patrick, but the majority were thoughtful republicans, carrying weight with them in any such movement. 88 first showing of liberalism it was not to be scoifed at. The general opinion is that if characteriess litical peripaetics of the Jim Scovel stripe could have been compelled to take a back seat from the outset liberal republicanism in Jersey would have been a great deal more outspoken jong ago. Speak- ing of Scovel suggests a fact. An effort was made on Thursday to suppress Jim from the Convention, or at least in the Convention, but Jim was not to be suppressed. It was a liberal movement, and the liberals should be liberal to him, he thought, He had his full say in the meeting. for made Chancellor, “Jim” Courter, of Latest from New Jersey, TRENTON, June 23, 1872. The indications now are that the State Conven- tion will follow the example of New York and Pennsylvania, speak well of the Cincinnati plat- form and instruct tne delegates to Baltimore to use their own judgment when they get there. Nine- tenths of the democracy of the State utterly re- | Sg the assertion made by the antiquated Bonr- | bon, Judge Naar, in New York on Thursday, to the effect that if the question in November was Gree- ley or Grant the State would go for Grant.

Dagget Hunt will be NORTH CAROLINA. i Ex-Governor Vance to Stump the State for the Cincinnati Nominces. CHARLOTTE, June 22, 1872, Ex-Governor Zebulon B. Vance will begin the can- | vass for Greeley and Brown at Fayetteville on Tues- day, and will then speak through the eastern coun- ties every day until the Baltimore Convention. The Governor comes out boldly and earnestly for Greeley, subject to the action of that Convention, and the name of the Chappaqua farmer is loudly cheered whenever mentioned, He favors the Cincinnati platform substantially, but will deal mostiy in State issues, advocating the proposed amendments to the State constitution and re- trenchment and reform. He denounces bitterly the usurpations of Caldwell and the Supreme Court of North Carolina and the corrupt legislation which has bankrupted the State. In @ conversation with your correspondent the Governor predicted that the conservatives will carry the Legislature by a large majority, and even hopes for a two-thirds vote, in which case the adoption of the desired constitutional amend- ments will be assured. If the Baltimore Convention endorses Greeley he can easily carry North Carolina — by 10,000 majority.

BaTon Rovas, La., June 22, 1872. The only visible excitement in the morning was with respect to the mutilated rolls, Dire threats were indulged in against both Chairman and Secre- tary, who were charged with manipulating them in the interests of the Custom House, Yesterday a telegraphic despatch was sent to Grant by Billings’ friends, soliciting his interference in checking the despotic conduct of the Custom House people. As everything looked blue about the Kellogg head- quarters a warning had probably been received from the White House, Billings stock was at a heavy premium in the morning, Mary at par, and Kellogg decidedly of. His friends expressed a willingness to retire him from the ticket in case a compromise could be perfected with the Mary people. The Convention met at ten o'clock, and the first business taken up was the report of the Committee on Revision of Rolls, Six names only had been stricken therefrom, and @ lively discussion on the subject engaged the Convention’s attention fora short time. The report was finally adopted, Delegates then being all anxious to go to work nominations for Governor were declared in order, The names of William Pitt Kellogg, E. C. Billings, Aristides Mary and Benjamin F, Flanders were placed in nomination, when, amid active canvass- ing and excitement, THE BALLOTING COMMENCED. During its progress the entire Convention was on its feet, talking politics and canvassing. ‘The ballot was secret, all the delegates: marching solemnly up to a hat, surrounded by eight owly-looking tell who scrutinized each bit of paper that fellas though it might explode a nitro-glycerine factory, Four of them held the hat in nervous custody and two others covered it with another hat. ‘The ballot oc- cupied an hour and a half, This method was evi- dently adopted to conceal the selling and trading that had been going on so extensively, and every delegate was watched the — chie! engineers of t didates, Profound quiet dur count, Which resulted as foliows:—Whe ber necessary toa choice, 146, Kellogy, 1 ings, 103; Mary, 58; Flanders, 1; scattering, As everybody on the floor was Keeping tally, a scene of indescribable confusion rose on Its con- clusion, Donnybrook Fair was a fool, and several extemporancous fights sprang up on the floor. 1OLS WERE DRAWN, The crowd rushed for the streets through doors and windows.

Tumultuous cheering ensued, only stopped by the soothing Strains of the brass band, When its crashing har- mony ceased, the delegates witndrawing, Mary mounted the platform and rec his action. Mr. Mary then entered and was r ved with enthusi- astic cheers. He made a short but indignant speech, in which he said he had consented to run solely ‘upon patriotic principles; that he woula make no bargain; but since his name was before the Convention he would stand or fail, either re- sult being equally — satisfactory, Mr. Mary was loudly applauded and left the hall, Kellogg's opponents indignantly charged the attempt to retire Mary a8 another swindling trick of the Custom House faction, and amid the usual roaring excitement the third ballot was called and proceeded with, It dragged its way alon wearily for over an hour, occasionally enlivened with squabbles between members and the chair- man, protesting members charging fraud and de- ception. 0 of them SHOOK THEIR FISTS IN THE SPEAKER'S FACE, and atone time he was surrounded by an angry crowd, charging him with all sorts of diabotical trie He stood for some tine, but finally sloped over ina tirade of abuse, rescuing himself and the | Convention from violence. ‘The balloting still con- to be interrupted, however.
