The following special despatch to the Hzrarp thas been received from our correspondent in Genova: — Geveva, August 6, 1872. The daily progross of the international ar- bitration between tho United States and Great Britain in the Alabama claims case develops ‘an increase of tho probabilities of tho rendition of a final verdict against England, accompa- nied by a declaration, pronounced judicially by the tribunal, of her general responsibility for tho acts of the Anglo-American rebel -cruisers. THE LATEST PROCEEDINGS. Tho Court of Arbitration organized in ses- ssion at the hour of twelve o'clock noon to- day, and adjourned at threo o'clock in tho saftertioon. The utmost harmony was main- tained to the close, AN AWARD IN GROSS PROBABLE, Tho arbitrators will, it is believed, award a toss amount of money to be paid by the -Queen’s government to the Americans in the shape of compensation for damages. Tho total will, itis said, be of some magnitude, and the Judges will by this action avoid a ‘recourse to the Board of Assessors provided for in the Treaty of Washington. LEGAL PROCEDURE AND LOGIC OF THE AMERI- CANS. The American counsel who conduct the caso -of the United States before the Arbitration “Court will, apparently, endeavor to secure this mode of settlement, instead of directing their ‘professional attention to the obtainment of a detailed award judgment, severally and singly, -on their argument in the instance of each one of the particular privateer ships. Therefore ‘the exact amount of the sum which will be ruled in favor of America becomes of less con- sequence, THE OHARGE FOR THE GEORGIA A WEAK POINT.

Tho caso of the Shenandoah is, on the contrary, closely pressed against England. The Washington bill of charges for the doings of this privateer embraced originally the fol- lowing items, and it has hot been altered materially, if any, since the organization of the Arbitration Court, viz.:— LIST OF AMERICAN VESSELS CAPTURED BY THE n Francisco...June 23, 1865 Waverley, New Bedford....June 23, 1805 ‘W.

The tribunal discussion of ‘he gencral sub- ject, and its canvass of the merits and force of tho claims and arguments, proceed with much moro rapidity than is generally thought out- sido, BRITAIN'’S NATIONAL INVIOLABILITY BOAST. The English representatives place particular emphasis on the Queen's argument that tho Tribunal of Arbitration, under the provisions San Francisco...June 4, 1805 | of the Treaty of Washington, has no right to examine into the question of the conduct of Great Britain in the execution of her munici- pal law, and they aver, in addition, that no nation is responsible to another for the inter- nal administration of its affairs. THE BULB OF BEORECY. The rule of secrecy is still maintained by the arbitrators, so that the Hzratp special news report which I transmit to New York to-day embraces all the facts which are known outside of the Council Hall.

Illn of General Splaner. General Spinner, the United States Treasurer, while seated at bis desk at an early hour this morning, before the building was opened, had an attack of vertigo and fell from his chatr, cutting his head severely. When the messenger entered the room he found General Spinner lying under his desk bleeding profusely, Ho was taken to his private room immediately, when Dr. Bliss, having been summoned, dressed tho wound, and the patient soon revived.

A letter has been received at the Navy Depart- ment from Enomotto, announcing his release from confinement by the Mikado of Japan and his rea- toration to something of his former rank, Eno- motto was at the head of the Japanese navy before the revolution, and was one of the last to hoid out against the Mixado, proving a very dangerous en- emy. He has great admiration for our naval oM- cers, and hastened to acquaint some personal friends of his release. He has been assigned to Yesso to assist General Capron in developing the agricultural resources of that island. It was thought here for some time by naval officials that Enomotto had been beheaded. The magna- nimity of the new Japanese ruler is shown in this instance very conspicuously, as Enomotto had declared unceasing warfare against those who at- tempted to make inroads on the customs of the country. He now accepts the situation in good faith and has been welcomed to the closest friend- ship, and he will in due time bo placed again at the hewd of the Japanese navy. THE WEATHER.

C., August 5, 1872. ‘This city has been in a tever of excitement the entire day over the election. Returns received here are conflicting and, I think, incorrect. Reports came rapidly to both parties, which alternately varied the result and kept the people in a state of painful suspense and anxiety. As the roturns state how, it is more dificult than ever to hazard a pre- diction as to the result in the State, and, as stated in these despatches several days ago, it will take the oficial returns to decide whether Caldwell, re- publican, or Merrimon, democrat, ts elected Gov- ernor, CONSERVATIVES DESPONDENT. Soon this morning the democrats reocived in- telligence of heavy losses in Stokes county, which was followed by another account of large republi- can gains in Caswell county, and the democratic enthusiasm of yesterday gave place to woftl despondency. Not long afterwards another des- patch reduced the republican gain Caswell by nearly one-half, and again the democrats became somewhat elated. Next camo reports of republi can gains in Northampton, and democratic spirits again evaporated, while, the republicans be- came jubilant, and Collectors Young and Timlee went crowing about the streets, bantering the democrats for even bets on the result. Following these came reports of democratic gains in Wilkes, Ashe and Alleghany counties, which greatly revived the drooping spirits of the democrats; but in a short time there came another sad blow of repub. lican gains in Moore and Hurnett, A TERRIBLE BLOW. At half-past four in the evening despatches to both parties reported a republican gain of 200 in Wilkes, one of the western counties, and upon this the re- publicans cheered lustily over the streets, while the democrats became doubtful and chapfallen, and were half ready to yield the contest. These demo- cratic reverses were quickly followed by reports of increased republican gains in Bladen, Curri- tuck, Camden, Gates, Pasquotank, Chowan, Wash- ington, Dare aad Bertie counties, At this time tho suspense and excitement was intense, and the democrats waited with eager and painful anxiety for news from the western counties, where they expected gains, or where, at least, Merrimon was expected to hold his own on the vote of 1870, But in this hope they were again sadly disappointed, for no news came from the trans-rfountain counties owing to the non-arrival of a stage at Old Fort, in McDowell county, the point from which the train leaves in the morning for Salisbury. ONE SMALL RAY OF TOPE. The only consolation the democrats were afforded ‘was a welcome report of gains in Northampton and Duplin counties, which served to keep their spirits up, though many of them seemag inclined to give up the fight. There never were such scenes of ex- citement in the State before, and the lack of tele- graphicand mail communication with the west, and in fact with large sections of the east and sonth- west, but serves to increase the suspense, while there areno means of appeasing the craving appetite for news, Yesterday republicans offered bets against 1,500 majority for Merrimon; to-day they freely offer even bets on the result in the State, and in some cases on & small majority Sr Caldwell. If Merrimon does not gain in Cherokee, Polk, Macon, Watauga, Clay, Jackson, Ashe and Allegheny counties, or hold the '70 vote, he will be beaten, ifthere is any reliance at all to be plased in the despatches so far received. ALLEGED USE OF THE “SINEWS OF wan. One circumstance is nutable, that in the counties where the United States Marshal Carrow's money has been used there have been large republican gains, This is just as apparent asin looking over a wheat field you can discover by patches of luxuriant growth the places where large quantities of com- post were placed. I have authentic information to-night that if Valdwell is declared elected by the oficial count Merrimon will contest the election on the ground of federal interference, and there ia no doubt ‘that numerous and flagrant in- stances of it can be proved, if that will have any effect. Tho whiskey counties, where nearly all the small distillers of fruit were threat- ened with indictments in the federal Courts, give republican majorities and gains; sodo the Ku Kiux | counties and so do tho counties where federal troops were sent on the eve of the election, and also where the Deputy United States Marshais were actively electioueering. REPUBLICAN CALCULATIONS. Hon. Samuel F, Phillips, chairman of the Repub- lican State Central Committee, basing his calcula- tions on the vote for Attorney Goneral in 1870, when, Mr. Phillips says, Shipp, democrat, was elected by an official majority of 4,221, says the result in seventy-two counties heard from, officially and unofilcially, gives Caldwell a gain of five thou- sand six hundred odd votes, which would elect him by nearly 1,400 majority. This estimate varies entirely from all others that have been made, and is regarded as go wild that bat little credence will be given to it. Mr. Phillips, in a note to me, adds that his calculations do not include two counties, which give Caldwell 600 more gain, making his majority greater still. At demo- cratic headquarters they are yet confident and hopeful, basing their calculations on the same vote of 1870, and claiming some 626 of the democratic majority of 1870 yet to be overcome in the western counties to be heard from. THE RETURNS ALI INCORRECT. Tam jsfled, however, from experience and state it for the information of the public generally, that there is no confidence to be placed in the re- ports of majorities either one side or ‘the other. They have invariably proved incorrect and hence I have not forwarded them to the HR&RALD, as they tend more to mislead than to furnish any reliable data as to tho result of the election. THR CONGRESSIONAL TRIUMPITS, The election of Cobb, republican, is conceded in the First district by a majority of over one thousand; Thomas, republican, in the Second district, by probably eight thousand, and Smith, republican, in the Fourth district, by about six hundred, Wad dell, democrat, is elected in the Third district by 700, and Leach, democrat, in the Fifth district, by 600, Robbins, democrat, in the Sixth district; Ashe, democrat, in the Seventh district, and Vance, democrat, in the Eighth district, are all elected by large majorities, not yet ascertained. The Legisla- ture is carried by a handsome majority on joint bal- lot, which defeats the re-election of United States Senator John Pool, republican; and while the Stato ticket is in doubt there fs still every reason to be- Neve that the oficial vote will determine in favor of the conservatives, REPORTED DEMOCRATIC GAINS AND LOS8E3. Isend the reported democratic gains and losses in the counties already heard from, though Ido not regard them as ali correct. They will serve to show, however, the situation here to-night. By this estimate Caldwell, according to the re- turns received by both parties, has made a gain in eighty counties of 4,191 on the vote of 1870, or a gain of nearly fifty-three to the county. This leaves, according to the published official demo- atic majority, & vote Of 804 Lo be gyercome in | the twelve western connties yet to be heard from, or a net gain of sixty-seven to the county, which it is 6carcely probable Caldwell can get. Indications at midnight.are that the result {s close and doubt- ful, and that At will take the omicia! vote to do- cide the actual result.

The Loulsvitle City Elections—The Op. position (Citizens’) Democratic Ticket Elccted, LOUISVILLE, August 5, 1872, The city election to-day passed off quietly. A large vote was polled. The regularly nominated democratic ticket was defeated by a very large majority, The opposition or citizens! ticket, which was composed of democrats, was elected entire, notwitnstanding the fact that the regular ticket was supported by tie democratic and liberal ropud- lican papers of the city. THE ELECTION IN UTAH, Sart Lake Crry, August 5, 1872. The election Is ovet and was peaceable through- out. Small squads of the Nauvoo Legion rode about the streets, but otherwise there was no im- proper demonstration.

The Liberal Republican Headquarters, The attendance at the liberal headquarters at the Glenham Hotel yesterday was undiminished and the interest about North Carolina unabated, al- though the democratic victory is almost regarded asa dead certainty. The apprehension seems to be that the administration organs will 80 manipu- late the returns as to give the State to the repub- licans in opposition to the popular vote. The latest despatch received from North Carolina at the Glen- ham Hotel is as follows. It arrived at eleven P, M. on Sunday night, from Daniel R. Goodboe, one of the secretaries at the liberal headquarters :—“The returns from foterior counties show gains for the liberals.” This despatch was posted in a proml- nent place to attract the attention of visitors as they entered the room. Boyond this telegram nothing was received from the State, and the vic- tory is regarded as certain, notwis#standing the confident assertions of Grant men to the contrary. It is, however, acknowledged that the liberal majority is diminished, but this is attributed to un- expected causes which it was impossivie to guard against or overcome, A large number of visitors called yesterday, tn- cluding T.

Williams, editor Raleigh Daily News, North Carolina; ©. M. Busbee, North Carolina; Dr. George Howell, Suffolk county, New Jersey; Franklin ‘Taylor, ‘estchester, Pa.; R, W. Pitkin, Louisiana; C, J. Drinkhouse, Pa.; M. A. Dougherty, Lancaster county, Penusyl- vania; John W. Cann, Jr., New York, Mr. Busbee gave some interesting details relative tothe manner in which the campaign was con- ducted in North Carolina, He says there is not the slightest doubt that the State has gone democratic, but the majority is not so large against the republi- cans as was first anticipated, Tho communication between the western cities and Raleigh is so imper- fect that the exact majority cannot bo ascertained; but as the counties to be heard from are expected to give large conservative majorities the final result cannot be changed. He bases his calcula- tions upon the fact that a larger white vote has been polled at this election than at any time since the civil war, and further, that so strong efforts have never been put forth before. It is conceded that General Vance will go to the Senate, his disa- bilities having been removed, and thus the State will have two democratic Representatives. The obstacles which the liberals have had to contend with—according to the statement of Mr. Busbee— have been great. A large number of indictments wore held over until election for violating the Reve- nue law, and a — of terrorism and persuasion was used in dealing with these men which is alto- gether without paraliel. They were assured, he States, by Settle that if they would vote for Caldwell the — indictments would be mashed, but if they failed to do so they might look out for the ut- most rigor of the law, Mr. Bushee is astounded, when all things are considered, that Grant did pot carry the State by a surprising majority, a3 the results put forth warranted the conclusion tat he would do so, Mr. Boutwells speech at Greensboro Is pronounced to be the most damaging document which was produced against the administration, and that it has done more to contribute to the defeat of the republicans than any- thing else produced. The majori it is expected, will be largely Increased in number, and will be overwhelmingly for Greeley. gentleman named MeMaster, from the interior of the State, states that @ canvass of the town of Auburn, the home of Mr. Seward, hag been made by his brother, and that 203 republicans, who were former supporters of Grant, have signified their intention of support- ing Greeley, Many of them are personal friends of Mr. Seward, and their action clearly indicates which way ‘Mr. Seward inclines, The names of those who came out are among the most proml- nent and influential in the district, and many other signatures are expected in a few days. r. Taylor, of West Cheater, Pa, gave some interesting details of the Rrognee of the liberal movement in his State. He thinks that the success of the liberal and democratic ticket is certain in October, THartrat being extremely unpopular with all sections of the people, his connection with Cameron and the Treasury ring in Harrisburg hi ing largely contributed to bring about this res ‘. If the State is lost to Grant in October it is certain to go for Greeley in November, the divisions among the republicans and the solid strength of the democrats clearly pointing to such a result. In the northern list of coun. ties which have hitherto given republican majorities large liberal gains are expected, so large that the defoat of the Grant ticket will be assured beyond doubt, As Pennsylvania will be the great rallying polat of (he struggle ereak egorts {as being made to secure tt for hoth rte, imi tely sent are to be ‘ely sen Dauphin count, Sneaster itchester county large Tinartn gains im Phiaaefpite the serene. the republicans is too great to be es fly ation” it easily shakey: and it {s conceded that the el in On the whole, prneve Taylor tok be ora Mr, Taylor thinks that ine, Indiana and Illinois, headquarters during the morning, asking for assistance and speakers, and giving the most cheering accounts of the ar in the above named States.

But few visitors called at the Grant Headquar- ters, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, yesterday. The hews from North Carolina did not by any means Tead to any expression of the hope that still smoulders in the breasts of the republicans of a radical victory, though the highly-colored state- ments of the ultra Grant papers would lead Many to belicve that the position of affairs: had been reversed, No despatches direct from North Carolina wore received during the day, though they were anxiously looked for. The more temperate of tho ofictals who are in charge ac- knowledge that the democrata havo got a majority of Congressmen, but refuse to” accede the election of Merrimon, They claim that the latest re- turns received, and the returns yet to be received, will elect Caldwell by a smail maj pe but they are not willing to make any bets upon the probabilit; of such a result, Among tho visitors who called were General Robinson, Binghamton; Colonel A, H.
