‘as follows:—“My Dear Cowan—I fully ap- prove and confirm all you have done. You have acted admirably.” On the same day that this message was sent to Mr. Cowan Mr. Forsythe sanctioned the execution of other sixteen men who had been condemned by the native authorities. We do not wonder that the press of Great Britain is much exercised by these seam- ing barbarities. Wedo not wonder that the press is divided as to the propriety or impropriety of the course pur- sued by the government officials. It is undeniable that if British rule is to be main- tained in India it must be done by holding tight the reins of government. It is as little to ‘be disputed, on the other hand, that firm- mess and vigor should be made entirely compat- ible with law. As compared with the natives the British in India are but a handful, and hesitation on the part of the immediately xecognized authority could hardly fail to be death to every foreigner in the disturbed dis- trict. We cannot blame Mr. Cowan, we do mot blame Mr. Forsythe, although we cannot ‘Dut ray that the punishment of the Kookas savored somewhat of barbarism. It is fair to say that both gentlemen acted up to the best Jight they possessed in circumstances of grave ‘and peculiar difficulty. But what shall wo say of the conduct of the British government in ‘the premises? Mr. Cowan has been dismissed the service. He has been disgraced, and pos- pibly disgraced forever. What has been done ith Mr. Forsythe? ‘He was,’’ as one of the ‘inglish papers puts it, ‘a Commissioner at "Omballa; he is now a Commissioner at Oude. JHe has lost neither rank nor occupation nor a ‘day’s pay.” The question which is forced mpon us is, Which is the greatest sinner, Mr. (Cowan, Mr. Forsythe or the British govern- ‘ment? Opinions will, no doubt, differ; but there are not a few who will say that the In- ‘dian Board or the British government is more to blame than either of its officials. Whe Two Allens—Greeley Allen and Grandson Allen. The name of Allen is one by no means jancommon, and many of those who have rne it have become famous. First and fore- ost, we have tho glorious Ethan Allen, of Revolutionary memory, who believed that Kthe gods of the hills were not those of the hwalleyi, and won for himself a fame among ithe green mountains of Vermont equal to that jof Rob Roy in the highlands of Scotland. Then there is the well known Barbara Allen, jthe heroine of the touching ballad, whose story is familiar to the lovers of poetry all over the world. Arabella Allen, whose name lis so closely identified with the names of Bob Bawyer and the Marchioness, cannot be for- (gotten whenever the genealogy of the great jAllen family is in dispute; and our own The. mn would, no doubt, feel neglected should @ remain unmentioned in the same connec- tion, Of all these Allens of course the one Whose relationship is the most to be desired is our grand Green Mountain hero, the leader ef the sturdy Vermonters in the colonial roubles and in the Revolutionary war, and the n who shared with Arnold the honors of iconderoga. We are at present in the heat of B newspaper discussion as to who is the Simon grandson and lineal descendant of this ‘dead and gone Revolutionary soldier. One than Allen, of this city, who is a prominent and ible supporter of Greeley for the Presidency, has tly been at Chappaqua with the woodchop- ing Sage of that interesting locality, and an lusion he made while there to a Vermont tree robably induced another Ethan Allen Allen, of New York, to suppose that the Greeley hampion claimed descent from the great ermonter. So Ethan Allen Allen addressed a tter to the Heraup yesterday, in which he himself to be the only surviving \dson of Colonel Ethan Allen, of Revolution- memory, and requested us to oblige him y stating that ‘this Greeley Allen is slightest manner connected family of the old hero.” {But Grandson Allen, not contented with this, ‘goes a step further and expresses the hope that than Allen—the ‘Greeley Allen’’—will be ood enough to apply to the next Legislature have his name changed. Grandson Allen is idently incensed at the presumption of any me but a genuine Allen bearing the revered Tan of his grandsire, and does not recognize the compliment paid to his predecessor by the \godfathers and godmothers of the Greeley jAllen in his baptism. 4 To-day we publish a response from Ethan jAllen—the Greeley Allen—very short and very emphatic, in which he states that he is no sdescendant of the Revolutionary Green Moun- colonel. This, we presume, will satisfy dson Allen, so far as his pride of pedigree lis concerned. But the Greeley Allen goes er, and insinuates that the coveted in- tials E. A. may stand not only for Ethan mn, but for Egotistical Ass as well. This is 18 point we leave the two Allens to decide for themselves, simply premising that after this Pingular correspondence it will not be surpris- Sing.if Greeley Allen should take the advice of 4Grandson Allen and actually apply to the next Wegislature for a change of name. _ Wartrxa ror an Exposrrion.—The locum dtenens of the Mobile Register expresses the be- jief that the remarks attributed to the editor- in-chief at the Fifth Avenue Conference—to ‘wit, “That he had been against Greeley, but his people were so demoralized that they were ready to accept Greeley to beat Grant, and he (would make no further opposition’’—are not orrectly reported. It is added that until the ‘editor-in-chief ‘speaks for himself, through the columns of the Register, its readers will not know his views upon the situation as affected hy this conference.” The public will await ‘with interest the exposition to be given in the premises by so distinguished a Southern politician as the editor of the Register.

The following special despatch to the Hzrarp has been received from our correspondent serving at the seat of the Alabama Claims Ar- bitration Court in Geneva, Switzerland: — Geneva, June 25, 1872. The members of the Court constituted for the arbitration of the Alabama claims between Great Britain and the United States reassem- bled in session, after the temporary adjourn- ment, to-day. The Court met at the hour of four o'clock in the afternoon and remained in consultation one hour. It adjourned to meet. again on Thurs- day, the 27th inst., at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. WAITING FOR THE REPRESENTATIVE OF GREAT BRITAIN. The meeting to-day was to have taken place at two o'clock in the afternoon, according to the ruling of the minutes of the latest proceed- ings ; but owing to the non-arrival of Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, representing the Queen of England, it was deferred for two hours—to four o'clock P. M. ‘THE SESSION COMPLETE. All the members of the Court were then present. AMERICAN DESPATCHES AND A SPECIAL CALL, At the moment of the last time of joint council by the arbitrators the adjournment was made in accordance with a common un- derstanding to the effect that if an American despatch arrived from Washington at an earlier date than that which had been just fixed for reassemblage the Court would be convened im- mediately, and summarily, under special call of Count Sclopis, the President. A Washington despatch arrived in the city during the interval, and the Court was sum- moned by virtue of and in compliance with the resolve. THE WORK, AND WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED, As the meeting took place at a later hour than usual the proceedings to-day were limited to the work of formal presentation of papers on behalf of each of the arbitrating nations and the arrangement and recording of an agree- ment by the counsel to discuss the contents of the documents fully on Thursday, the 27th instant. ‘INTELLIGENT INSTRUCTION OR IDENTITY OF IDEA ABSENT. Apparently there has not been maintained so correct a degree of understanding between the government of the United States and the American agent having charge of its case here as is required in a matter so delicate and im- portant in its bearing, and this misunderstand- ing has probably caused a rose-colored view to be taken of the future fate of the Washington Treaty, as well as the promulgation of sur- mises leading to the inference that the diffi- culty had been overcome by some inexplicable means. Perhaps all this has been caused by the com- munication of badly or incorrectly translated cipher despatches, and the formation, in con- sequence, of mistaken views in Geneva re- specting what was intended in Washington. THE POSITION FOR INDIRECT CLAIMS. It is not, certainly, because President Grant has withdrawn the indirect damage claims. ELECTRICAL MUDDLES AND CHOICE OF A CURE. In fact, in consequence of the muddles which have been caused by the reception of cipher telegrams the future despatches from America will be sent by way of Brest. HOW THE CASE STANDS. The summary of the international position as it presents to-day is as follows :—The United States withdraws nothing of its claims; both parties are fairly before the Arbitration Court, and England persists in her demand for a prolonged adjournment. THE BRITISH TACTICS FOR DELAY. It may, however, be received as certain that a long adjournment will not be granted, and also accented ag a positive fact that a | Gemeral Outside C: majority of the arbitrators will vote against an adjournment for a longer period than four- teen days, counting from the first day of the recess, mvass of Probabili- ties—Indirect and Direct Claims. Geneva, via Lowpon, June 25, 1872. It is stated that the Board of Arbitrators at their session on Monday, the 17th inst., in- formed the agents on the part of England and the United States that they considered the indirect claims presented in the case of the American government untenable. There is reason to believe that despatches have been received from the government at Washington which will lead to a satisfactory solution of the entire question. spatches Mr. Bancroft Davis, the American Agent, has, it is said, communicated to the Court to-day. After Wednesday the Tribunal of Arbitration will proceed to consider the direct claims of the United States, BRITISH PRESS REPORTS FROM GENEVA. Confusion Concerning Secretary Fish’s Instruc- tions—The Indirect Damages Case—An Important Decision Expected. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpvon, June 25, 1872. Special despatches from Geneva to the Lon- don papers confirm the statements that the Tribunal of Arbitration will meet again at eleven o'clock Thursday morn- ing, and that the American represen- tatives before the Board in consequence of confusion of cipher despatches, misappre- hended the intention of President Grant and Secretary Fish, who did not definitely with- draw the claims for indirect damages. The English representatives will leave Ge- neva on Friday, and it is therefore supposed that an important decision will be given by the Board on Thursday. Alleged Consent to An American Nonsuit in the Indirect Claims Case. Lonpon, June 26—5 A. M. The London News this morning says that America agrees to being nonsuited in her case before the Board of Arbitration so far as the indirect claims are concerned. THE DEAD SUPPLEMENTAL. Appearances of the Article as It Passed Through the Various Stages of Manufacture, WASHINGTON, June 25, 1872. The following is the additional article to the Treaty of Washington, as amended by the Senate, and which was agreed to by the Senate—yeas, 43; nays, 18:— Whereas the government of Her Britannic Ma- Jesty has contended in the recent correspondence with the government of the United States as fol- lows, namely—That such indirect claims as those for the national losses stated in the case presented, on the part of the government of the United States, to the Tribunal of Arbitration at Geneva, to have been sustained by the loss in the transfer of the American commercial marine to the British flag; the enhanced payments of in- surance, the prolongation of the war, and the ad- dition of a large sum to the cost of the war and the suppression of the rebellion—First, were not in- cluded in the Treaty of Washington; and further, and second, should not be admitted in principle as growing out of the acts committed G4 particular vessels, alleged to have been enabled to commit depredations upon the shipping of a belligerent, by reason of such want of due diligence in the per- formance of the neutral obligations as that which is coms by the United States to Great Britain; an The above was in the proposition as originally submitted to the Senate py the President. ADDITIONAL ARTICLE TO THE TREATY OF WASHING- TON. ‘ Whereas both | gh mag adopt for the future the principle that claims for remote or indirect losses should not be admitted as the result of fail- ure to observe neutral obligations, so far as to de- clare that it will hereafter guide the conduct of both governments in their relations with each other: Now, therefore, in consideration thereof, the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof, consents that he will make no claim on the part of the United States in respect of indirect losses, as afore- said, before the Tribunal of Arbitration at Geneva. The following is the part omitted by the Senate for which the above was substituted Whereas the President of the United State: while adhering to his contention that the sai¢ claims were included in the treaty, adopted for the future the principle contained in’ the second of the said contentions so faras to declare that it will hereafter guide the conduct of the government of the United States, and the two countries are, therefore, agreed in this respect. In consideration thereof the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof, consents that he will make no claim on the part of the United States in respect of indirect losses as aforesaid before the Tribunal of Arbitration at Geneva. HOW THE HERALD GOT THAT NEWS. Secretary Fish Propounds the Conundrum to Minister Thornton—They Give It Up and Pass It On to Earl Granville. WASHINGTON, June 25, 1972, The State Department having failed to discover the sources of the HERALD’s treaty news has purged itself of all complicity in favoring the HERALD, Secretary Fish, in a recent interview, diplomatically hinted to Sir Edward Thornton that it wasa@ matter of record in the State Depart- ment that foreign Ministers, with too much zeal to serve their country, had outraged the feelings of officials of the government to which they were accredited, and that in such cases their recall had beep requested. There had been printed in the HeRratp despatches which could only have been obtained from the State Depart- ment or the British Legation, and he was ready to answer for his own department. Mr. Thornton, who is the mildest of gentlemen, did not lose his temper, but assured Mr. Fish that he was deeply pained to find such important matters prematurely published, but could not account for it. More than that, he had received despatches from Granville, asking if it were possible that his confidential communications had been given out by our ofMficiais, for their publication in London papers almost simultaneously with their appearance in this country was the great- est source of trouble to the Minis®y. Mr. Fish called attention to the remark reported to have been made in Parliament attributing the leak to “the corruption or negligence of American ofi- ciala,” a charge which he hoped the British Minis- ter Would lose no time in contradicting. Minister Thornton said he would fully explain to Earl Gran- ville the conversation which had taken place, and would ask him on behalf of the American govern- ment to ascertain, if possible, whether the prema- ture publication of the correspondence could be traced to apy neglect of the cablo companys These de- | ROME.

We have asked Prince Bismarck how it is that the once contented German bishops have, according to the expressed belief of the German government, been suddenly transformed into dan- gerous conspirators. No reply has yet been re- ceived. Let us pray to our Father in heaven that the stone may fall that will complete the overthrow of the Colossus.’” ENGLAND.

SWEEP OF THE STORM AND SERIOUS RESULTS. The storm which prevailed yesterday afternoon ‘was most severe in the midland counties, where at some points the fury of the tempest was without a precedent. It was particularly destructive in Statford county, In the town of Stafford, the county seat, the station of the London and Northwestern Railway and a number of other buildings were unroofed by the wind and completely wrecked. Many build- ings and trees at other points were struck by lightning.

PREPARING THE JAPANESE TREATY. WASHINGTON, June 25, 1872, Dr. Houard’s Release and Secretary Fish’s Waiver. The release of Dr. Houard by the Spanish govern- ment, in consideration of the waiver made by the Secretary of State to his liberation on the ground that he is an American citizen, does not affect the right of our government to ask explanations for the conduct of the Spanish government. By way of apologizing to the country for the aeceptance of the Suggestion of the Spanish Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, Secretary Fish, it is authoritatively an- nounced, will present to the Spanish government for answer what explanations can be made for Dr. Houard’s illegal arrest, trial, conviction and de- portation from Cuba, in connection with the com- pensation to be made to Dr. Houard and the state- ment to be rendered to the United States for viola- tion of their treaty rights. Should Dr. Honard’s claim be filed with the Spanish-American Claims Commission in this city for settlement the Ameri- can counsel is of opinion that Dr. Houard will never hear from it again, The New Dominion’s Insult to the Amer= ican Flag. The announcement of the capture of the Ameri- can schooner James Bliss, of Gloucester, Mass., on ‘Thursday last, at Anticosti Island, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, has been confirmed here to-day by the receipt of the complaint of her owners, Messrs, Willlam Parsons & Co., of Gloucester, who repre- sent that she is of sixty-four tons burden, and is valued, exclusive of her fishing gear, at $6,400, When our Consul at Gospé Basin, Mr. George H. Holt, remonstrated with Captain Lavoie, the senior OMicer of Marine at Gaspé, against the continua- tion of the insult, he was informed that it should be discontinued. Thirty minutes after the promise was given the Bliss was ordered to Quebec, and left the port with flags flying, as reported in these despatches on Sunday night. The commander of the cutter Stella Marte is the same who seized the schooner Enola €., about four weeks since, Tye owners of the Bliss protest that her captain was instructed not to trespass upon forbidden limits uader any consideration, and the senior member of the firm has gone to Ottawa to see if itis possible to obtain the release of the vessel. There is much comment among the depart- mental officials on the insult to the flag, which they say is inexcusable, but if the Bliss was fishing within a marine league of the island the captain must have clearly understood the risk. Secretary Boutwell, as early as last March, issued a circular for distribution relative to the fisheries on the coasts of the British North Amerl- can colonies. He considered it important that fish- ermen of the United States intending to pursue their business in the locality mentioned as exclu- sively within the jurisdiction of the Doiainion should be thoroughly acquainted with the laws and regulations governing the matter, in order to avoid incurring the penaities for violations thereof. Collectors of customs were also instructed to fully acquaint parties concerned, at the same time noti- fying them that the provisions of the treaty be- tween the United States and Great Britain relating to the fisheries would not go into effect until the laws required to carry them into operation shall have been passed by the various governments, and warning them that their business must yet be carried on subject to the restrictions existing at the time of the ratification of the treaty, The New Japanese Treaty. The members of the Japanese Embassy, who went on an excursion tour to Niagara, Suratoca and Springfield, have returned to attend to tio treaty business, and will resume diplomatic ne- gotiations on Thursday next. The State Depart- ment is preparing the new protocols, and every- thing looks favorable for @ treaty equally accepta- ble to both countries. Ito and Okubo, Vice Ambas- sadors, who went to Japan to obtain more au- thority for the Embassy, will not return to the United States. ‘They left Yokohama for London via Suez Canal, and in the English metropolis expected to meet Iwakura and his associates. Ship Register Forms. The ship register in use by the Treasury Depart- ment since 1790 willbe changed on the Ist of Au- gust next lor a new design now being engraved at the Treasury Department. The Apaches and Mr, McCormick. The delegation of Arizona Indians, nine in number, paid a visit this afternoon to the Hon. R. ©, McCormick, Congressional dele- gate from that Territory, at his residence, accompanied by General Howard and other gentle- men, They were first treated to sprightly airs on the piano, after which McCormick and Howard spoke a few words, which were interpreted to them. Miguell, the great Caytero Apache war chief; Santos, of the Pinal Apaches, and Eskeltasala, of the Cayteros, responded, promising to use their in- fluence in behalf of peace between their tribes and the whites, Mr. McCormick informed them that heretofore Congress had appropriated only $70,000 for the Indians in Arizona, but at the late session this amount was increased more than fourfold, and that this amount would be expended for the benefit of all who remain at peace and continue on their reservations. The Indians were told by General Howard that Mr. McCormick had for some years been the Representative of Arizona ‘in Con- gress, had been very zealous for the interests of the whites and had striven to advance the welfare of the Indians, whose chief men had now for the first time seen that gentleman and con- versed with him, The interview was pleasant and promises good results, Grant and Wilson Ratification. A Grant and Wilson ratification meeting was held in front of the City Hall this evening. Gov- ernor Cooke presided, and speeches were made by Sam Bard, of the Atianta New #£ra; Senator Nye, John M.

Y., has orders from the Internal Revenue office for asupply of to- bacco stamp cancellers under the new law, which provides that the Commissioner may make such change in stamps, and may prescribe such instru- ments for attaching, protecting and cancelling them as he and the Secretary of the Treasury may approve. These canceliers are furnisied at govern- ment expense. Tobacco in Transportation Bond. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue decides that tobacco arriving in collection districts under transportation bond since June 6, for which ware= housing bond has not been given, may be returned to the factory and the bond be cancelled, or held by the collector on the transportation bond until July 1, and said bond be cancelled by the payment of the tax at twenty cents by stamps immediately affixed and cancelled. Australian Wool Duty. The third section of the new tarlif law enacts that from and after ist October next Australian or other wool produged east of the Cape of Good Hope and imported from places west thereof shall be exempt from the discriminating duty of ten per cent now imposed thereon. The question has been presented to the Secretary of the Treasury whether wool of this character which re- mains in bonded warehonses on the 1st of Octover will be entitled to be withdrawn without payment of this duty of ten per cent, and it would seem that the power of the Secretary to allow such with- drawal, except upon that which was in bonded warehouses on the Ist of August, and there remain until October 1, la somewhat doubtful. ag the relief granted by the first clause of section elght was limited to goods which may be in public stores or bonded warehouses on August 1, 1872, The letter of the law would seem to demand that such importa- tions of wool made between August 1 and October 2 could only be withdrawn upon payment of this dis- criminating duty. The department, however, has reserved the question for further consideration. Indemnffying a Cheated Britisher. Among the acts passed by Congress was one for the relief of Edward G.
