Wood's Museum Js thor The Supplemental Treaty. ‘The supplemental treaty for the settle- meut of the Alabama controversy really coutains nothing but the abandonment by tho Government of the United States of ite flomand for indirect damages. ‘This aban- Jonment should properly be the act of the President alone. He made the demand for these tudirect damages before the trivanal at Geneva without consulting the Senate, ind he hus the samo power to withdraw it as he had to make it, There is no need for iny supplemental treaty, or for going to the Senate with the subject. In short, the only purpose of this supple- montal treaty is to relieve Gen. Grant of the ponribility of undoing his own act ant retracting his own indecent blunder by putting upon the Senate the responsi- bility of advising and consenting to the re- traction, As the demand for indirect damages was inserted in the treaty without any expectation that it would be allowed by the arbitrators, or thatany money would ever be received on account of it, and as it is no longer denied that this demand was a mere we of pettifogging buncombe, a sham and a humbug, so this supplemental treaty, with the ceromony of its submis sion to the Senate, is another piece of bun- combe, another sham and bumbug. If the President sees, as he virtually confesses that ho docs sve, that the case which he prejented at Goneva ts bad and unjustifi- able, why doesn't he withdraw it squarely and manfully, and why does he attempt cw un llcate the Senate in the farce of this supplemental troaty ? What is the supplemental treaty? Here is the whole of it, word for word, pream- ble and all: has contented.

The pretence is thut Ln this treaty Great Britain concedes someth'ug when she de- olares that indirect damages ought not to be demanded, and that she will never dv- mand them of a neutral power hereafter; and that this concession ou her part af- fords a reason why the United States may now, Without any sacrifice of dignity, with- draw the demand for indirect damages at Geneva, This, we say, is pure sham and humbug. When the British Government first refused to allow the olaim for indirest damages to be considered at Geneva, one of the reasons they put forward was the very sane as President GRANT now sets up in this trealy as the cencession on account of which he withdraws his demand! It was proclaimed from the first on the British side that such damages ought not to be re- quired; and the ouly novelty in the treaty ls that It asserts with greater detail of ver- biage a principle which G t Britain has maintained throughout the whole coutro- versy, aud which is also involved aud in- cluded in her unvarying contention that asa matter of fact the indirect claims were hever provided for in the treaty. It isto be hoped that this treaty will be condemned by the Senate. The fact that President Grant, by his incapacity and blundering anxiety for vor has got him- self into a position from which he must retreat with morited disgrace, rds no reason why the Senate should make itwell a party to his folly by approving this supple- mental treaty, a A Rosy Report. Senator Arconn, from the Committee on the Levees of the Mississippi, has submitted & report in favor of an expenditure by the National Government of thirty-six millions of dollars for the construction of a perfect tystoin of levees on that river, In support of this measure the Benator goes Into a comprehensive argument, in whioh he un- dertakes to show that the juterests of agri- culture, mining, manufactures, and com- merce, the gold supply, the future pros- perity of the country, and its ultimate salvation from bankruptey, all depend upon tho repair and extension of the Mis- sissippi leveos, and (hat therefore the work Viculd be done at the expense of the nation, The Senator quotes the reports of Gen Mvuavuneys, of the Euginver Corps, to rhow that $2,000 square miles of the very rlehost on the face of the earth may be included within the reclamation of the lovees, and that of this vast area 10,500,000 M will be brought into cultivation The Senator believes that this estimate f too low, But, accepting these figures, he APgUeF that the leveos w the available moans of wealth represented by 1,000,000 acres of cora land of unsur parsed aud inexhaustible ferulity, 4 fores of sugar land, and about 7 aores Of the best cotton lind in the world, capable of yielding a bale to the acra ‘Tiius 7,000,000 bales would be added to our atinud! produgt of cotton, ‘Tuen the Senator goes Lato an elaborate I give the nauon discussion of the gold question to show that in consequence of the excess of our imports over our exports we are far behind r 4° France in our proportiomot: real money, and that if it had not been for the absorption of our bonds abroad our supplies of specie would all have been But when the bonds ovase to be absorbed abroad, their principal will disappear from our income, while interest will remain fixed in our One thousand millions of our six per cent. paper held in Europe, with a further demand for that paper closed, Senator ALtconn says, would leave us, apart even from our extravagant consump- tion in the arta, drained of our domestic production of the precious metals. To guard against such a contingency Senator Atconn relies on the Mississippi levees, The corn lands to be gained would increase the national production $20,000,000 perannum. Tho increased sugar produc- tion would save a yearly payment to for- eign countries equal to $42,000,000, and ex- punge that commodity from our imports, And 7,000,000 bales cf cotton whitening be- fore many years the territory now lying waste on either side of the Mississippi would restore the supremacy of the United States in cotton production, crush all for- eigu rivalry under foot, and at ten cents per pound add to the credit side of our international balance sheet hundreds of millions per annum in gold. would benefit domestic manufactures, and add to the consumption of coal; while the producers of beef, pork, and breadstuffs would reap their full share of benefits from the general prosperity which would follow the construction of the levees. Senator ALconn’s report reads rosily, It is impossible for any one to study it atten- tively without becoming convinced that the work he advocates is of great importance. And the Senator has so forcibly shown the advantages the country would indirectly derive from its accomplishment, that the conclusion {s forced on the mind of the reader that the benefits the owners of the land to be reclaimed would directly gain from the levees would be so enormously great that it would be hardly fair to ex- pect the overburdened taxpayers of less fertile regions to pay for the proposed im- provements, Tho Sompletion of a perfect system of levees on the Mississippi would doubtless render tha owners of the lands which they would protect exceedingly wertay. If the owners of these lands have not the necessary means to carry out the proposed improvements, they would have little difficulty in procuring the re- quired assistance from capitalists on rea- sonable terms, unless, indeed, it should ap- pear that thelr champion in his enthusiasm has greatly overstated their case. ee Ben Butler and the Philadelphia Con- drained long ago.
