We print on another page the reply of the British Foreign Secretary to the letter of Mr. Evarts against the validity of the award rendered by the Halifax Commissioners, It is much longer than his reply on the other subject ofcontroversy—the disturbance of our fishermen under color of the local laws of Newfoundland—and, unlike that, it is not a virtual retraction. ‘The British government declines to discuss the main position of Mr. Evarts that the award is ex- cessive, and refuses to reopen the question. We suppose nobody expected a different re- sult, and it is for the President to decide | within the present week whether he will pay the award or withhold it. It falls dueon Sat- | urday, the 23d inst. No time is left for further dispute or parley, and President Hayes must now exercise the discretion with which Congress has clothed him and discharge the responsibility which devolves upon him as the guardian of the national interests and honor. As the true interest of a nation can never be inconsistent with its honor we expect the award to be paid in spite of the opinion of our government that it is excessive and even exorbitant. There is no honorable retreat from the com- pact we made to surrender our own judg- ment in this case and accept that of a tribunal of arbitration. It may have been an imprudent engagement, but it is never- | theless an engagement which we voluntar- ily made in the most solemn form in which a governmenbtcan pledge its faith. In the pro- ceedings before the Commissioners we had equal advantages, or at least equal oppor- tunities of advantage, with the other party to the controversy; and if we | failed to make the most of our op- portunities by putting the management of our side into competent hands we must take the consequences of our neglect. ‘This is the plain common sense of the matter, and the plain sense of gentlemen is always to be respected in questions involving good faith and honor. We do not see that Lord Salisbury strengthens his position by his long his- torical recital of the origin and proceedings of the tribunal. We suppose that this is intended for the information of the British public who have heretofore taken but little interest in the question and are probably quite ignorant of its history. It has, however, but a slight bearing on the merits of the controversy, except in a single point. Lord Salisbury’s detailed statement of the length of time occupied by the Commissioners, of the number of their sittings, of the great multitude of wit- nesses examined and. the greater multitude of depositions given in on both sides, and of the length of time occupied by the argu- ments of the respective counsel, is calcu- lated to convey an impression of the cum- brous nature of the investigation and the difficulty of reaching a decision. If so pro- tracted and operose an examination was necessary for reaching the merits ot the case it seems a reasonable inference that the question cannot be summarily decided at he did not profess to attach any great im- portance to this point. Lord Salisbury's reply is calm and friendly in tone and un- exceptionable in point of courtesy. Let the award be paid. Another Attempt at Regicide. Two attempts on the life of Emperor William and one on King Alfonso, all three within a few months, have been supple- mented by a determined effort to assassi- nate King Humbert. During an entry in state into Naples yesterday an ill-clad man | rushed at the royal carriage and endeavored to poniard the King, who, draw- ing his swaqrd, defended himself, escaping with «a mere scratch, while his assailant, after a struggle with Minister Cairoli, whom he wounded, was captured. And what is his story? He isa cook, out of work; he was poor and he hated the King—as the type of wealth that did not avail him, of power that he be- lieved was crushing him. It is curious that this was the plea of Hidel in Berlin and | Moneasi in Madrid. Smal! comfort could the ill-clad Neapolitan draw from the fates of his immediate predecessors in this par- ticular crime. Hidel was’ beheaded and Moncasi is under sentence of death. The Neapolitan assassin disclaims a con- nection with any socialist societies. But it is obvious that all of these crimes are the result of socinlist teachings. It is the rule in such cases that where the abolition of a thing—kingship, for instance—is taught, some one of those who accept it as a doc- trine should seek to carry out the idea by the crude method of killing the first king. Want pressed him ; he was taught that the King made the hard times, and, as life was at best of little account to him, he would run the risk of ‘‘martyrdom” for the chance of a niche in history, as a successful surgeon operating on what he would call the social tumor of royalty. Serious line of argument this for the occu- pants of thrones! ‘fhe recurrence of these attempts enforces attention to the social unrest of Europe. One by one the king- doms and empires are sharply reminded that there isa force at work which some time not far off will have to be reckoned with, when not the lives of exalted persons but of entire governmental systems will be the subject of an attack that no body guard can ward off. Then if the King draws his sword it must be at the head of an army. General Grant at Gibraltar. In Lord Napier of Magdala General Grant found a soldier who, like himself, had risen to high military position purely on his merits, but, necessarily, at a slower rate, and we have no doubt that the captor of Magdala regarded the great soldier of the Union with that brotherly interest which obtains among brilliant captains. It is not, therefore, surprising that the English commandant of the great rock fort- ress should have turned out the garrison and showed how well he is prepared to repel attack by sea or land. To the soldier few mental problems would this late day on arguments which can be compressed into so small a compass asa diplomatic correspondence begun a few weeks before the date fixed for paying the award. If somuch investigation was really necessary no time is left for going over the whole extensive ground again. The British government refuses to enter into any argument respecting the equity of the award for two reasons, set forth in Lord Salisbury’s despatch. ‘Ihe first of these reasons is the impossibility of ex- amining so extensive a subject in the brief time that remains. The second reason given for declining to reopen that question is the fact that the British government is a party in interest, and therefore unfit to act }asatribunal of appeal or review. There is an implication that both of these reasons, and especially the latter, apply with equal force to the United States. Lord Salisbury thinks it would ill become the British gov- ernment, after having claimed a compensa- tion of $15,000,000, and having strenu- ously supported that claim before the | Commissioners, to acknowledge that | the award of $5,500,000 is excessive. Whatever may be thought of the wild enormity of such ao claim, it cannot very well be disputed that the British gov- ernment would put itself in an awkward position if it shonld now admit that the | actual award is so far in excess of justice as to warrant the two governments in nullify- | ing the work of the commission. It was | not to have been expected that Lord Salis- bury would make so mortifying an ac- knewledgment, and nobody can be disap- pointed at the tenor of his reply. A sup- position that if the question of payment was submitted to the decision of the British | government it would waive its claim | to the money would have been the extreme of political verdancy. The very able argu- ments of Mr. Evarts should have been sub- mitted to the tribunal itself by the counsel employed by the United Stotes. If they were submitted and made no impression on so impartial a referee as Mr, Delfosse they could not be expectel to inflaence the British government; but if these cogent ar- guments were not submitted to the com- mission our government mere'y suffers the consequence of its failure to employ able counsel, At any rate, the British govern- ment refuses to relinquish the award, and the whole responsibility of paying or de- | clining to pay rests upon President Hayes. While refusing to discuss the equity of the award Lord Salisbury replies at length | to the argament of Mr. Evarts that it is not binding because it was not unanimous. | We regretted that Mr. Evarts made that | point, because it was so easy to demon- | strate that itis untenable. Lord Salisbury has evidently been assisted by the Crown lawyers in this part of his reply, espe- cially in the subtle reasoning with which he attempts to account for the omission of the treaty to specify that a majority should be sufficient, when this is explicitly stated in relation to the other tribunals provided for in the same treaty. Such re- fined distinctions are of donbtfal force. | The strength of this part of Lord Salis- bury's reply lies in his quotations trom authorities in international law and his | common sense argument founded on the composition of the tribunal. It must be recollected, in justice to Mr. Evarts, that be more attractive than calculating how best such a mighty stronghold could be reduced, and if, in spite of his character of simple tourist and honored guest the old Ulysses rose within our ex-President, we presume he kept his cogitations and con- clusions to himself. Interesting at any time as it is to traverse the armed galleries, the winding ways of Gibraltar, under the friendly guidance of the man chosen to be the real leader of England's armies in case of a European war. the General must have enjoyed the place at its best. General Grant passes thence to Malaga. The St. Mark’s Churchyard Mystery. The police search for the body of Mr. Stewart and the daring thieves who carried it away from the vault in St. Mark’s church- yard is still a fruitless and unprofitable one, the detectives being apparently almost as much in the dark as when they began on thecase, ‘This is a sad confession for them tomake. ‘here is, of course, no question about their anxiety to solve the mystery, and it is announced that they intend to persevere, and, if possible, bring the hunt to a successful ending. It is to be hoped that these anticipations will be fully realized, thongh we confess there seems very little ground for them. Eleven days have now elapsed since the discovery of the outrage was made and the “clews” are becoming fainter and fainter each sue- ceeding day, Two or three leading police officials have placed themselves on recoyd in saying that Mr. Hilton made a mis- take in stipulating that the reward could only be earned by the conviction of the thieves as well as the recovery of the body. They claim that this proviso is a stumbling block in the path of the detectives, for no ‘‘negotiation” is possible. To take that view is to admit that our de- tective system is a faulty one, for under it no clever or aecomplished criminel can be arrested or punished, so the sooner we change the system the better. In all prob- ability the terms of the reward will have to be changed in order that the scoundrels who desecrated Mr. Stewart's grave may be tempted to come forward and surrender their unholy boot Market Outsiders. The Superintendent of the Bureau of Ob- structions will do a good work if he sue- ceeds in clearing Vesey and Greenwich streets of the outside stands which at present almost blockade those thorough- fares in the neighborhood of the market, It is always an unthankinl task to inter- fere with persons who are striving to earn an honest living ; but the people have rights which must be protected, and the blocking of Vesey and Greenwich streets is a serious public inconvenience. Besides, there is something unsatisfactory about this side- walk stall business, anyway. By what right does the clerk or superintendent, of the market grant permits for the use of the streets outside and some distance {rom the market for such purposes? Into whose pockets does the money collected for such a privilege go? According to all accounts there does not seem to be any regular sys tem observed or any fixed fees demanded in this street stand business, and the whole matter seems open to suspicion, Now that the work of clearing the streets has com- menced it is to be hoped that it will con- tinue until the blockade is removed, and it will do no harm to let the public know tor whose benefit the evil has been so long tolerated. Change of Front in the Vatican. Au important change appears to be on foot in Italy in the attitude of the Papal authorities toward the government and in the Church policy with regard to public concerns. Abstention has ceased to be the mot d'ordre, and participation is the new cry; so that parties in future Italian elections will perhaps be complicated even more strikingly than in other countries by the energetic activities of a Church party, and by the appearance of swarms of candidates put forth in the Church interest and urged upon the voters by the ecclesi- astical machinery. Pius IX. set on foot the policy that the Church should rigidly withhold itself from all participation in electoral struggles; that it should’ neither have voters nor candidates; that it should simply stand apart and protest against the whole political fabric as an iniquity. There was good reason for that policy, for as the suffrage was then restricted the Church, if it should take part in electoral conflicts, could never obtain more than a feeble mi- nority in the national representation. That minority would be ineffective upon legisla- tion, but its presence would commit the Church toa recognition of the validity of what it had declared was a usurpation. Hence the policy of abstention. But the times are changed. Modifications in the suffrage are on foot; an extension of po- litical privileges is assented to in principle by the government as wise and necessary, and, though this change will fall short of universal suffrage, it will so greatly increase the number of voters as to make it likely that the mental and moral character of the political quantity will be widely different from what it has been in the past. In the Papal councils it is believed that this change will include in the electoral body large elements of the population that have always supported the Church, and, conse- quently, it opensa ray of hope that the Church may be able to cope with its oppo- nents even at the polls, Hence the organs of the Vatican now announce that the friends of the Church must regard itasa duty to take part in political conflicts. Curiosities of the Canvass. The county canvass, which was com- pleted on Saturday, presents some results worthy of attention. The vote for Bradley, democratic candidate for the Court of Ap- peals, is 87,716. ‘The vote for Schell, Tam- many candidate for Mayor, is 60,485. This shows that 27,231 democrats who voted for Bradley did not vote for Schell, and gives us about the correct anti-Tammany demo- cratic strength. The vote for Danforth, republican candidate for the Court of Ap- peals, is 51,702. The vote for Cooper, com- bination candidate for Mayoz, is 80,086. This shows that 28,384 more votes were east for Cooper than for Danforth. We find here 1,153 votes in excess of the difference between the votes of Brad- ley and Schell. Looking at the greenback vote, we find that Tucker, the greenback candidate for the Court of Appeals, gets 1,988 votes, while Headley, the greenback candidate for Mayor, receives only 648 votes. We may conclude, therefore, that the difference in the votes of these two candi- dates—1,340 votes—were cast for Cooper for Mayor, and this comes within 200 votes ofa clean balance of the account, according to this analysis. The socialist strength in the city is shown by the vote of the party on Jonas, its candi- date for Mayor, who receives 1,649 votes. This is about the number the socialists might be expected to muster ouf of a poll ot nearly 143,000. The party does not ap- pear to have voted on the State ticket, the total vote for the Judge of the Court of Appeals running 1,262 behind that for Mayor, or within 400 of the socialist vote. ‘The total vote for City Judge runs 2,300 behind that for Mayor, Judge Bedford leading the Tammany ticket. Cowing’s majority over Bedford is 1,662 less than Cooper's over Schell. In the Eleventh Congressional district Mr. Mor- ton’s majority over the Tammany Congress- man, B. A. Willis, is only 42 less than Willis’ entire vote, Willis polling 7,060 votes, while Morton’s majority 1s 7,018, ‘The First and the Eighth Assembly districts are very close, Madigan, the Tammany candi- date, winning in the First by 6 plurality, and Patterson, also ‘Tammany, in the Fighth by 17. But the closest Assembly contest is found in Suffolk county, where Duryea, the democratic Assemblyman, is returned as clected over his republican competitor, Carman, by 1 vote, the figures standing for Duryea 4,572 and for Carman 4,571. The Campaign of the Clairvoyants. Evidently the clairvoyants are not mer- cenary. Not one of these persons wants that twenty-five thousand dollars offered for the recovery of Mr. Stewart's body and the detection of the body snatchers ; for if they did of course some one of the number would in the pride of his omniscience con- duct the nearest policeman to the exact place where the remains are hidden and give Inspector Murray a memorandum of the names and post office addresses of the despoileis of the grave. Tu elairvoyants. ‘Iheir name is several legions, and it is of course stood that the earth hides not its se. This has beon understood this great while. ‘They have only to tnrn their attention to , any given topic to see through it forthwith. Now, when we consider how great is this mortal methods, we cannot but regard it as greatly tothe honor of the clairvoyants that they refuse to be drawn from a lofty and proper veserve by the valgar tempfa- | tion of twenty-five thousand dollars, One | clairvoyant, however, has shown some div- position to descend fiom this high tone of the craft and has told the whole stéry!; bat he has, unfortunately, located the place of deposit at No. 189 Bond street—a place which has the same relation to our city streets as different parts of the country -out West | and down East—there are a great many | under. | erets from the penetration of their eyes. | power, and how superior it is to ordinary | | the Greek Kalends to the days of the year. Some information is apparently to be had from the spirits if anybody wants it; and we note particularly that the spirit of Mr. Stewart himself has been twaddling on this subject down in Boston, It is astonishing what a temptation there is for people to twaddle when once they get to Boston. But we are astonished at this conduct on the part of Mr. Stewart. Why does he go to Boston with information? Nobody wants information there. He was accustomed to understand better than this how to find a market when he lived. Why did not he go straight to Judge Hilton or to the detective police? ‘This ridiculous course on his part might induce the incredulous to believe that the spirit heard from in Boston is not that of the real Stewart. A Vermont Murder. Considerable space is devoted in another part of the Heraup to the case of Henry Graveline, 1 Vermont farmer, nearly two years ago of the murder of a man named White, on purely circumstan- tial evidence. Unless the highest judici- ary power of tho State intervenes he will be hanged next March for this crime, of which he proclaims his innocence. Among the chief witnesses for the prosecution was one who swore, among other things, that the accused had confessed a participation in the crime, and had hired him to kill another man spoken of as a probable witness on the trial, An affidavit is now brought forward secking to show that this witness, who is al- leged to have served a term in State Prison, was acting under the directions and was in the power of an insurance company which would have to pay a heavy sum on some farm buildings burned about the time of the greater crime, unless the guilt of this crime also could be laid at Graveline’s door. We publish these statements, but do not vouch for them in any way. The case is that of a man almost at the foot of the gallows. It is his last struggle for life, and it would be well for the insurance company to state exactly what, if any, its relations were with the murder trial. These things all seem worthy of impartial investigation on the spot where the events occurred, forthe care in cases of circumstantial evidence can- not be too great. Graveline’s story is a strange one, ‘The first impression one would receive from his actions from the time he was first suspected of the arson and then of the murder would not be a favor- able one. Nothing, however, could be more unjust than to take these acts apart from their surroundings. Hounded, badgered, seeing his property disappear almost in a night, and stung by concocted stories, he acted in a way that might not comport with innocence were it not that it would be as hard to square it with the consciousness of guilt in a man of any shrewdness whatever. The First Winter of Rapid Transit. City people are about to enter upon their first winter of the experience of that grand boon, rapid transit; and if they were de- lighted with this easy, agreeable ond won- deriully swift means of ‘getting up and down town in the summer, when the speed of transportation was the only point of prominent contrast with the old method, we believe their satisfaction will be enor- monsly increased when in the bad season approaching they find themselves able to reach their homes or their offices untouched by the rains, undeterred by the deep slush of the snowy streets and ignorant almost of the cold days and nights. Only two years ago we clamored day after day in the Herat for some contrivance on the street cars by which the passengers’ feet might be kept reasonably comfortable on the ter- ribly cold days, and the car companies laughed at us, went to Albany and spent a little money and retained their priv- ilege to freeze their passengers. Perhaps they would willingly warm their cars now if that expense could restore them the enor- mous returns that they fondly thought they could never lose. Who would have believed two years since that one should pres- ently be able to pass from the Post Office to Forty-second street in fifteen minutes, not merely with warm feet, but in a pleasant roomy and well warmed vehicle! People will find that this change will makea differ- ence ia their health, There will be fewer bad colds, fewer cases of bronchitis, pleurisy and pneumonia, fewer cases of the exhaustions of men and women of feeble vitality from exposure tosevere temperatures and consequent neuralgias, not so many wet fect, and a general reduction in the volume of winter ailments, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, ‘The following Americans were registered at the Henaty Bureau in Paris on Saturday last:— Bagley, J.

Whatever may be the ultimate success of Mr. Aron- son in establishing a series of Sunday night concerts at low prices, he is certainly to be commended for an honest, enterprising and conscientious endeavor in this direction. His second entertainment was given last evening at Gilmore's Garden, and notwithstand- ing the inclemency of the weather was well attended, the spacious auditorium being nearly half fall, while the music was of a class admirably adapted to the popular taste. It could scarcely be otherwise than appreciated, because the selections were per formed by an orchestra of fifty pieces, com- prising the best artists of Mapleson’s orchestra now performing at the Academy of Music. The pro- gramme consisted of the following pices :—Fatinitza Suppe: overture, Prinz Methusalem, UB 5 ‘Good Old ‘Times,"” Aronson: song, ‘‘Whut Will Say” (Piusuti), James Harton; selection, “Chimes of Normandy,” Planqnette; grapd selection, “Carmen.” Bizet: Coucou polka (La Marjo- laine), Leeoeq: waltz, “O Lovely May,” Strauss; fantasie, Un lo (Hartmann), Mr. M. Arbuckle; Marche Triomphale, Aronson. It is unnecessary to comment in detail upon the re- spective selections, for all of thei were admirably rendered and left nothing to be desired. The length of the performance was likewise judiciously fixed, and the audience were enabied to separate about the convenient hour of ten. It is to be hoped that this young composer will keep on in his good work of amusing the public in a sensible way, and at the same time of educating it in music that cannot be else- where heard in New York at such low prices. GILMORE'S THE LIEDERKRANZ CONCERT. Notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the ele ments a brilliant and crowded audience attended the opening concert of the Liederkranz last night. ‘The principal feature of the varied programme presented was the cantata “Das Mirchen von der schinen Melusine,” by Hoffman, which presented the splendid chorus of thé society.

THE ROGERS-CAYWOOD OUTLAWS, THE MISCREANTS STILL HIDING IN THR VICIN= JT¥ OF TAZEWELL-—PROSPY.CTS: OF THEIR CAP TURE. [BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD. ] eButsrot, Tenn., Nov. 17, Intelligence has been received here from Tazewell which leaves no doubt of the presence of the Rogers- Caywood party in Powell's Valley. Their flight, ae telegraphed to the Henatp, was true, but the pub licity given to their torture snd murder of Kd, Jackson #0 aroused public opinion that they became alarmed at the almost certainty of failure in getting out of the country and #0 returned clandestinely to aiborne county. They have since been harbored and concealed by political friend in Powell's Valley, their home being within twe niles of the scene of murder. MOVEMENTS REPORTED, The $2,000 reward also had the effect of alarming them and they came into Tazewell the night of the Sth inet, It was then rumored they had escaped via South Carolina to Canada, but they again were seen in Tazewell the night of the 12th, though they had prev iously made a show of leaving in the direction of jorristown. There is very little dowbt that they are now concealed within ten miles of Tazewell, and though the Kentu fruitlessly hunting thera, expert and bold det conld capture them in lese than a week, They rinking outrageously, and while they would f eros when forewarned, @ bold dash woul y take them during their dranken revelry. They are sure to slip into Tazewell tT of darkness and will doubtless lead ral weeks inthe hills of Claiborne until severe weather sets in and then attempt to eacape to the Pacific coast, Public sentiment is now strongly arousd against them, and but for their in- fence with the present officials of the county their capture and surrender to Kentucky and their speedy execution would soon follow,
