The Court of Arbitration in the Alabama jelaims case, previous to the adjournment for recess roquired legal argument on three points, each one being in itself of high importance. points were plived before counsel in the following order, viz:— First—To show what is termed ‘‘due dili- qgence”’ on the part of a nation as a principle of w. Second—What was the value of the commis- | ions held by the Confederate cruisers, and far did they entail responsibility upon when they entered her ports? Third—How fer did the coaling of the seas in English ports make England 4 le for their acts? These-points have been elaborately argued | Py Sir Roundell Palmer and Messrs. Cushing, ‘Evarts and Waite. ‘The very fact that the Arbitration Tribunal pnalyozs the.cases brought within its jurisdio- @tion in such # thoroughly searching manner, ps may be seen from its investigation in the treatment of these points, is a strongly favor- ‘able indication that its complete work will be jpatistactory to the parties concerned.

HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENT. HORACE AT UPHILL WORK. The Greeley Exhibitions at Bradford—Up sarge Mountain and Down Again—What He Knows About Thomas and the War— The Philosopher Peppered. Brapvorb, N. H., August 11, 1872, Mr. Greoley, having thorougbly rested all day Fri- day by working hard on his agricultural address for the Vermont State Fair next month, took a lit- tle recreation Saturday in a visit to Kearsarge Mountain and the Winslow House, He drove there—a distance of about fourteen miles—io company with Colonel Tappan. The route lay over the wild scenery of this part of the Granite State past Bradford Lake, and up and down rocky de- clivities of road. On arriving at the Winslow House it was discovered that preparation had been hurriedly made for a welcome to the Sage and THE USUAL RECEPTION, A banner was flung to the breeze just as his carriage ascended the last knoll, and the Wilmot Flat Brass Band—a somewhat primeval musical corps—played ita level best on the piazza. The Philosopher was received at the door by Mr. Baker, the proprietor; the Rev. A. H. Bartlett, of Brook- lyn; Mr. George A, Pillsbury, ex-Mayor of Concord, and other prontinent men stopping at the Winslow House or living in the neighborhood. The house contains at present only about thirty guests, but People nad come on this occasion from all parts within an area of twelve miles around, and in consequence there were about two hundred people of all sects and all ages assembled, HORACE AS A CLIMBER. ‘The Philosopher entered into social conversation with all these, and then, feeling strong and hearty, determined to attempt the ascent to the summit, a distance of about two miles, over a footpath where only @ mule could be trusted implicitly not to break aneck. Me seized’a stout stick, and, accompanied by the HERALD correspondent and three other gentlemen, started off briskly enough, The ascent was through a wood on the hillside, where the footpath led over rugged and broken stones and then diverged into an open space. made of hard, smooth rock, [01 & sort of prodigious tiled roof to the mountain. These rocks were so smooth in some places a8 to be slippery and dangerous, but the sturdy Philosopher SCALED THEM LIEB 4 CHAMOIS of the Alps and the rest of the party had frequent tocalla halt on him in order to let them catcl their second wind, A little girl of fifteen, Miss Lottie Brigham, of Boston, who had become pro- ficient through long residenc: at the Winslow House in ascending mountain sides, caught up with the party, and, to the last of the ascent, was the oniy one who could at all compete with the har Philosopher in the feat of crossing chasms an climbing rocky mountain sides. The part were thoroughly exhausted, and the Philosopher himseif had begun givin; 8 of exhaustion when the summit was reached. A party of rustic beaux and their sweethearts from Contoocook were seated on the summit when the august party arrived, and their astonishment, at, finding @ couiing President in such @ spot of all others may be imagined. ‘They overcame it, however, and welcomed him to the summit with hearty rustic congratulation. THE VIEW FROM THB SUMMIT ig a magnificent one. The peak ia 3,400 feet above the level of the sea. Far away inthe distance are Lake Winnipiseogee, the rugged caps of the Green aud White Mountain ranges, while the distant val- leys in their varied colors look like broad plazas and the distant trees like halted soldiers, Mr. Greeley took in all the story of the scene with the ald of @ fleld glass, and after drinking from the spring on the summit started on the descent, He ‘was as nimble and sure-footed in the descent as in coming up, although it was much more dificult. HIS OPINION OF THOMAS, On arriving at the hotel dinner was served for him and bis party at the table. Colonel Mack, of the United States Army, and Admiral Taylor, of the United States Navy, were introduced to him. In conversation with these gentlemen on the subject of the army Mr. Greeley remarked incidentally that General Thomas, take him through and through, showed 4 the best general of the war. Dinner being over, the Philosopher was formally called upon and congratulated by the guests, many of the ladies securing his autograph; and then at five o'clock, taking carriage again, le drove away to Bradford amid the cheers of the crowd and the plaintive piping of the Wilmot Flat Brass Band. AT CHURCH, This morning the Sage, accompanied b; Tappan, attended the Baptist Union church, a sort of co-operative affair for a division of the expenses of church hire, organ, choir, bellows-blower apd reacher. Rev. Mr. Pepper presided, but he de- ivered a sermon that had less pepper in it than auy I ever heard before. The congregation was fuiler than usual, ana showed great iuterest in all the movements of the Philosopher. TUR WAXWORK SHOWS ANFAD.

Bhd 1.8 Scovel, the Irrepressiblc—His Case Con- sidered Committee—He Is Ridden Over Roughshod. Politics in New Jersey, like the proverbial still Waters run deep. On the surface just now all is as smooth and as placid as the bosom of a mill pond, But while the politicians are endeavoring to keep cool and murder those famous Jersey mosquitoes, of ponderous proportions and poisonous beak-drills, they are also keeping one eye open on the political situation. The only bit of State politics that seems determined to keep on the surface is that relating to the redoubtable Cxmden un- squelchable, Jim Scovel. A couple of weeks ago it was reported in the HERALD», on reliable authority, that at the last meeting of the liberal republicans fo Bat oe from fowa to Michigan and southward jin Trenton a committee was appointed to watt @ Ohio Valley. ‘Tho Weather in This City Yesterday. ‘The following record will show the changes in the “temperature for the past twenty-four hours in com- ariaon with the corresponding day of last year, as Traicated by tha thermometer at Mudnut’e Phar- ui say macy, HERALD ter. 8 1871, 1872 90 «85 87 (87 84 «82 12M.. 85 Pe Ix 81 im verage rature yesterday ?

Worcester, Mass., Augnst 11, 1872. Dating a row tn 9 saloon on Main street, near the north end, on Saturday night three men were shot upon Scovel and request his resignation as the State's representative on the National Liberal Ex- ecutive Committee. This was promptly dented by @ person named Starr, a zealous adherent of the unsquelchable. Very soon after the HERALD was confirmed in its first report. The committee appointed waited on Scovel and told him their business, but he woulé not budge. It then tran- spired that the meeting which appointed the com- mittee had not a quorum, so reasonable doubts of its authority were entertained, though its action was accurately represented in these columns. On Friday last, at a meeting of the State Cominittee, the subject came up again and considerable discus- sion was had, in the course of which James was. told pretty plainly what was thought of him by people generally throughout the State, Mr. ‘Jacob L. Swayze, of Sussex county, freely and said the liberals of his county and of Morris, too, were @ unit in the opinion that Seovel’s reputation in politics was too heavily freighted with unenviable matters for them to carry in the campaign. His absence was infinitely preferred to his company, and so said they all of them. Mr. I. H. Gerry, of Orange, chairman of the first commit- tee appointed to Wait on James, made some state- ments CLEARLY CORNERING J7M, On a question of veracity Mr. Gerry stated that when he waited on Scovel with the other commit teemen, at the Glenham Hotel, in New York, Scovel told him that he had received letters from Governor Randolph and Mr. W. L. Flagg declaring that they had withdrawn their opposition to him. Mr. Gerry called upon Flagg, who was present, to speak for himself. He did, and deciared explicitly that he had never written Scovel any such let- ter. It was doubted if Governor Kan- dolph had, either. Other members expressed themselves strongly Opposed to Scovel, not on any ersonail grounds, but because the people believed hat he was a millstone around the movement's neck in New Jersey. Finally a committee of three— Messrs. L H. Gerry, of Orange ; Professor Fischer, ot New Brunswick, and Mr. F. B, Pije, of Trenton— were appointed to Wait upou Scovel and renew their reqnest for his resignation, But nary a resignation would the unsquelchable give. Further discussion was had, after which gon pen ee Dues 1 be | definitely postponing the appoiutment of Scoyel’s saocesscr, Pre committee disliked appearing be- Scovel must now take the responsibility of his con- duct, which they almost unanimously condemn, In the meantime it is simple truth to say that, Scovel bas been a dead weight to the beral move- ment in New Jersey, Jim isa pretty jolly fellow and knows how fo biow bis own truinpet through the press and otherwise.

Letter to St. Domingo White About Grant's Neglect of a Black. —<————- Tho Slight that Fred Douglass Felt Keenly—The Senator Puffing a Colored Man's Hotel. WASBINGTON, August 11, 1872, Mr. Sumner will leave here to-morrow evening for New York, where he intends remaining several days, and will then go on to Boston. In reply to the question whether he will take an active part in the campaign, he says he has not yet made up his mind, but that he may deliver one or two addresses before the election, The statement of Andrew D. White, who was a member of the St. Domingo Com- mission, has provoked from Mr. Sumner the follow- ing reply :— My Dear Sm—I am surprised by a statement, purporting to. proceed from you, which I fad under the telegraphic head, to the effect that 1 have mis- represented facts with regard to Frederick Douglass. In making this aliegation you defend the Commissioners to St. Domingo and allege that Mr. Dougiass was well treated by them. I have never said the contrary, nor have I ever alluded to the treatment he received from them. Not a word or hint can be found on the subject in anything written or spoken by me, My allusion was to the exclusion of Mr, Douglass from the common table of the mail packet on the Potomac, almost within tht of the Executive Mansion, simply on account of color, and I added that the President, on whose invitation he had joined the Commission, never uttered a word in rebuke of this exclusion, and wen entertaining the returned Commissioners at ner CAREFULLY OMITTED MR. DOUGLASS, who was in Washington at the time, aud th peated the indignity, On this you are represented as remarking that General Sigel was also omitted, but that, in fact, Mr, Douglass and General Sigel had already left for their homes, forgetting tiat Mr. Douglass continued in Washington, and you do. not allow yourself to doubt that, had they been in. town, they would have been included in the invita- tion, Your peology clearly sows you opinion. that they ought to have been invited; but please not to forget that there was a reason for inviting Mr. Douglass that did not exist in the case of General Sigel. ‘The General was white, and he had suffered no indignity on board a mail packet: which it was in the power of the President to re- buke byexample. But you are mistaken In the facts, a8 appears by the newspapers of the times, The Commissioners reached. Washington on the evening of the 27th. They were entertained at dinner by the President March 30. On the day before the dinner Mr. Douglass pre- sided at the convention to nominate a delegate to Congress from the District of Columbia, and on taking the chair made a speech. Mr. Chipman was nominated againks Mr. Douglasa, who made another speech thanking his supporters for their votes. To gratify the friends of Mr. Doug. | lasa there was an understanding that he should succeed Mr. Chipman as Secretary of the District. These things show that Mr. Douglass was not only in Washington, but pase g er ceges so—presiding ut public convention and being voted for as a candi- date for Congress, But we are not left to inference, Mr, A. M. Green, of Washington, who at the con- vention nominated Mr. Douglass for Congress, as- sureg me that he did not leave town till some days later. Mr. Green further states in a note, dated August 10, now before me, that about this time he | and another friend called on Mr. Douglass in rela- tion to his appointment by the President as Sec- retary of the District; that Mr. Douglass, while thanking them for their earnestness in lis behalf, assured them that HE HAD NO HOPE OF. SUCCESS; that he had new evidence of the conservative character or aghg| of the administration, which warranted him in the opinion that he could not succeed; and Mr. Green says that Mr. Douglass added these words, “I was-not only neglected without any rebuke for the offence from the Presi- dent, but the Commissioners have been invited to dine with the President, and the same spirit of neglect has been exhibited {n that respect also.”’ Mr. Green adds that recently while on the way to, the National Colored Convention at New Orleans Mr. Douglass, in conversation with Mr. Downing | and himself, referred in a complaining spirit to this circumstance. I have also before me a note dated, August 10, from Mr. Wormley, so well known for his excellent hotel in Washington, who says. that he asked Mr. Dougiass shortly after his return ifhe had dined with the President andthe Com- missioners, to which he answered “No, ans FOR THE GOOD REASON THAT I WAS NOT INVITED,” and then added, “It is no use to deny it, but I feel it keenly.” This was at Mr. Douglass’ office. On another occasion, at his son’s house, referring to | the same thing, he said to Mr, Wormicy, “I feel it keenly.” Mr. Gray, recently of the Legislative Coun- cll of the District, to which position he was nomi- nated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and now a school trustee, assures me that Mr. Donglass spoke to him of his omission py rhe President with the same feeling that he exhibited to. Mr. Wormiey and Mr. Green. These wit- nesses are ail colored, but even without the new law nobody would question their testimony. I add = my own — acquaintance with the case, At my house Mr. Donglass, while speaking not unkindly, said he felt the-President’s neglect in not inviting him to dine, wiich was | more noticeabie as he had gone to St. Domingo at the express invitation of the President, an on his return was insulted on board the Potomac mail jacket. He added that an invitation from the | resident WOULD HAVE BEEN A PROPER, REBUKE to those who ha@ tnsulted him. Lwillacd that it | is @ matter of common notoricty that Mr. Douglass Will not disguise his feellng on account of this Presidential incident. Such are. the facts on the evidence. I think that you will clearly see, my | dear sir, that, if there is any misstatement, you ex- ptess it, Perversion of facts i pot ou my part, Faithfully, yours, CHARLES SUMNER, To the Hon. A. D.

Ex-President Jolnson spoke here by invitation last evening to a good crowd two hours and a quarter. He was introduced by Judge T. A. R, Nelson, who introduced him as the people's man, plain Andy Jolnson. Mr. Johnson said he was no candidate for any office. He said it was well in times of popular upheaval to take our bearings and see whither we are drifting. Recurring to iirst principles he said | the government has been drifting from constitu. | tional moorings and become the playching of an irresponsible Congress, at the dictation of a usurp- ing Executive.

The tax assessed against the New York Central tng to about four hundred and forty thomand dol- lars, still remaing unpaid, and, while the company have not the slightest intention of paying it volun- urged now 1s General | tarily, the Commissioner of Internal Revente docs not, for some réason, intend to force payment. ‘This claim has been before the Treasury Depart- ment for several years, and hag been the sousce of continual trouble. A month ago the Secretary of the Treasury gave his final decision that the com- pany must pay or the property of the road woutd be distrainéa for the amount. It is now stated that the tax will not be collected until after the election. The Republican Vote in Illinois. Advices received here from Iiinois represent that Senator Trumbull is laboring day and night to di- vide the republican vote in that State, and that he is meeting with great success, He says he will make upwards of one hundred speeches during tho campaign. Governor Palmer ts co-operating with him, and able assistance is found in all parts of the State. General Logan is charged with the task of undoing the work of the liberal republicans, and neglect of this duty causes much dissatisfaction among members of the Congressional committee. The work of disintegration haa proceeded so far that Illinois ig put down as a very doubtful State for Grant. The New Shipping Act and Seamen's Profits. Although the new Shipping act exempts from its Provisions ali cases where seamen are, by custom or agreement, entitled to participate tn the results or profit of the voyage, the Shipping Commissioner at New Bedford has decided that the crews of whaling vessels must be shippea in the same manner as forthe merchant marine. The subject has -been referred to the Treasury Department, which decides that it has no jurisdiction and the masters must appeal the case to the courts. Cattle Thicving on the Line of the Rio Grande. In view of the continued cattle stealing on the Texas border it may be of interest to re- peat that a year ago the Department of State, in a letter to our Minister, said:— “A communication has been addressed to this Department by the Secretary of War, trans- mitting correspondence between General McCook, commanding officer of the sub-district of the Rio Grande, and Mr. T. F. Wilson, the Consul at Mata- moros, relative to depredations committed upon cattlo in Texas by armed parties coming from the Mexican side of the border. It appears from this correspondence that our military authorities are unable to protect the property of our citizens with- out the co-operation of the Mexican officers, Gen- eral Cortina, the commander of the Mexican troops on the frontier, not only makes no endeavors to pruvent the robberies, but is even believed to be in league with the ‘marauders. In view of these facia you are hereby instructed to lay the correspondence transmitted by you be- fore the Mexican government, to urgently demand the recall of General Cortina from his present post and to ask for the adoption of such eMcient measures as will prevent the recur- rence of these marauding incursions.” General Mc- | Coek said in his letter to the War Department a year ago:— There is in existence on this fronticr a system of cattle stealing, which if persisted in will be disas- trous to the stock-raising interests of Texas and lead to a predatory war on either side of the river, eventually producing a conflict between the two nations. Armed parties cross from Mexico to Texas to steal cattie. From the scarcity of troops ‘on this Line and the nature of the country bordering on the river it is almost impossible to ig these Ing. It will not require many such affairs to open the conflict, and it is my opinion that unless co-opera- tion by the Mexican authorities be extended to us in breaking up these bands of marauders there will be serious trouble in tess than three months hence. Since the arrival of General Cortina and his troops Paes the frontier the marauding has in- creased tenfold, ‘The reason why the Mexicon government can afford no remedy in the premises is expressed in vhe remarks of Mr. Mariscal, on behalf of the Mexi- can government, to Mr. Nelson, namely, that there ‘was no doubt of the anxiety of the Mexican gov- ernment to pnt acheck to these lawless proceed. ings, but unfortunately the chief difficulty arose from its absence of power to enforce its mandates in States remote from the capital. Lighthouse Lights. The Lighthouse Board has recetved from Paris a lighthouse light of the third order, adapted to the burning of mineral olls, with the request that it may be tested by the President of the Board, Pro- fessor Joseph Henry. Tne use of mineral oils has never been tested in this country, as such oils have invariabty been found unsafe. The French Bureau of Lighthouses claim to have overcome objections and are now successfully using coal oil at a very great saving to the government. The New Steamboat Navigation Law. The attention of the Secretary of the Treasury has been called to the frequent steamboat disas- ters and the insecurity of life aud property on this class of vessels. The draft of the new Steamboat law has been sent to all the Supervising Inspectors for their opinion. Letters have also been addressed to all our Ministers tn Europe, requesting the prompt transmission of the laws governing steam- boat inspection in the countries where they are sta- tioned, with a view of perfecting a complete sys- tem. Agricaltural Science. The Signal OMice Is now engaged. in, making ar- rangements for obtaining information. interesting to agriculture. Several new features have re- cently been introduced by General Myer, the chief signal officer; among them the appearance of sun- set, which is obtained by means of a eonvex mir- ror, the colors amd shades being traced with pas- tels on a plane of glass placed above the mirror.

Dispersion of the Great Bienk ivon Stud. Tho Foreignors Strongly Ropresented-eger Competition Between the Germans and Aus trians—How About the Americans }-High Brices Realized—The Prospect of the Entire Stud Fetching £100,000— The Betting About tte Proba- ble Prices of Blair Athel and Gladiateur. London, July 25, 1372. Mr. Tattersall, tle eminent auctioneer of horse atovk, la engaged this week in dispersing the Middle” Park stud, the largest anw best we ever had in Eng- land, and probably the best and largest ever known in the world, This step ras been rendered neces- sary by the death of its founder, Mr. Blenkiron, one of whose’ sons 1s so little inclined for business that: ‘the rest ssw no advantage im continuing an estab- lishment so long as he was connected with tt, It was therefore determined by the family to bring the whole stud to the hammer, and to divide the pro- ceeds in agcordance with. tho tetms of Mr. Blonk- ivon’s will, The auction accordingly commenced on Tuesday, and will mot be completed untit to-morrow night, It takes place at Middle Park, to which have been removed ail the stallions, brood mares and foals that had previously been stationed at Waltham Abbey, in Essex, a brapch of the great establishment, The scene ts one of the prettiest we have in the neighborhood of Lon- don, from which it is distant about four miles, and the luncheon which is given before the sale om each day is an elegant affair, which, with the de- lciously cool champagne and claret cups that are handed around during the afternoon, has an exhila- rating and generous influence on ‘possible buyers. The weather has up to the present been beautiful, but the attendance has been rather small, though, fag those present nearly all “mean business,” that does not Matter very much. The FORRIGN ELEMENT is ‘@ formidable one and it is evident that it has been intrusted with very large commissions: to purchase the best stock. Ido not as yet know that anything has been bought to go to America, and I have seen no gentleman present who coukt be supposed to be doing business for your country; but it is quite possible that commissions have been given to Englishmen to secure particular lots. To- morrow will, however, be the great day of the meeting, when Blair Athol, Gladiateur, Saunterer and other celebrated stallions will be brought ta the hammer, and when it will be seen whether we have money and pluck sufficient to keep them im this country or whether we shall allow them to go abroad. Amoi the foreigners present are Count 'Lebndorf, master of the horse to ‘the Em- peror of Germany; Colonel Ludwick, chief it of some of the les ng. studs in Germany; M. Cava- lero, who has been here for many an bay tng for the Austrian government; Connt Stockbau, Prince Leichtenstein, M. André, Baron Maltzahn, M.

B. Lennard, Sir Christopuer Sykes, the Hon. @. Kitzw alr oO, Coote, Colonel! Forester and others. The foreiga. commissioners have in some cases shown BITTRR HOSTILITY to each other—none more so than Count Lehndort and M. Cavallero, the Prussian and Austriam agents—the latter of whom has, tn several -in- stances, run up animals far above their value, mately to spite his opponent. The sale will com- rise in all 197 brood mares, 129 foals and 13 stal- ions; and if to these we add 60 and 4 yearlings, sold two auctions last month, it beer that the total strength of the great establishme: for the year was 446 animals. Of these 50 were dis- 4 of on Tuesday for 17,085 guineas, or $85,425; ut it is to be noted that all these were brood mares and that many of them had foals at their feet, a remark which algo applies to yesterday, when seventy lots went for 16,140 guineas or $80,709, the total amount received on accourt of the two days being £33,225, or $106,125. It is calculated: from this return that the total ot the four days will be not far from one hundred thousand pounds, or FIVE HUNDRED PHOUSAND DOLLARS, for the entire establishment, Among. the principal purchasers hitherto have been the New Stud Com- pony, a jot stock affair got up to replace Middle ik ina small way, but as yet it has pot met with: much public sympathy, whatever the amount of. support it may eve received. Among its four di- rectors are a defauiter on the turf, a fast os lord “about town,” a breeder with. po money an oficer in the Guards of whom little is known.
