The Treatr of -Washington.
The'lJondon Observer announces that
the British Government has sent a'dis
i patch ' to ' Washington, withdrawing
i from its agreement to submit the Ala
f bama claims to- 'arbitration before the
Geneva Board, if th liability for indi
! rect damages remains an open question.

Vio iiritfah finvrrnment intellirible to
those who have watched the discussion
of the American " case " since the pub
lication of that document. The discus
sion has been warm, ana to an Ameri
can observer, surrounded by a commu
nity utterly unmoved on the subject, it
has seemed unnecessarily warm. Here
11 VI A- I. rt -1 1 - wru
sight, i We were satisfied to wait for the
decision of the Arbitrators. And even
in England it is only within tho past
few days that the discussion has indi
cated any such feeling as is embodied
in the extreme measure of tho English
Government. It has been objected that
the American counsel presented claims
which, if granted, would be very oner-
ous to Great Britian to discharge, and
- thatsome of these were such ns our gov
ernment had no moral right to advance ;
but it has not been denied that, the
Board of arbitration was esiaoiisneu 10
decide on "the claims generally known
as the Alabama claims," or that under
this head it would bo for the Board,
acting according to its own interpreta
tion of the treaty, to determine what
claims it would consider. Nothing
hi lie fairer than such a method of
settling all points in dispute. Jf our
ram wns nninsr. ino.ivrDiiraio.rs woiuu
so decide and thero would be an end of
it. -How
the British Press has progressed
fmm tho extrerrielv careful and elabo
rate manner of its earlv treatment of
this question, to the final frenzy which
it is represented by the cable as having
shown for two days past, it is impossi
ble to say. Nor is it quite plain what
the British Government may regard as
" indirect damages " which it refuses
to consent that tho Geneva Board shall
consider. But It is perfectly certain
that the action of the Government, as
announced by The 06server1t will be a
matter of complete surprise to the
American people. We cannot conceal
the fact,- also, that this action will arouse
a good deal of feeling warmer than sur
prise. We were all heartily glad when
we supposed than an honorable and
peaceful wav had been found to settle
the ugly "differences," as the treaty
calls them, growing out of the Alabama
business. If it shall turn out that our
confidence was misplaced, disappoint
ment will be added to the sources of
bad feeling which werealrcady too num
erous. We sincerely trust that the re
ported reopening of the matter for
the action of the British Government
is nothing less may assume some less
threatening form than that in which
the cable dispatch presents it. X. Y.

Justice, not Bevenglu Revenge
is sweet. The Republicans of this sec
tion have suffered much from their po
litical opponents. Threat, abuse,slan
ders, whippings, destruction of proper
ty, have all been heaped upon them.
1 or weeks together, men whose only
crime was that of being a Republican,
were driven from their homes, and
forced to sleep in the woods like hogs, to
save their lives. But that dark hour
has passed. Innocent men are free, and
the guilty are receiving the punishment
which they deserve. But let justice,
and not revenge, bo the aim of all, in
punishing the guilty. To take revenge
for an injury, when opportunity offers,
is human nature, but it is far better to
rise above such feelings and be govern
ed by purer and better motives. , Our
officers, while discharging their duties,
should keep this in mind. They (have
kept themselves remarkably free from
personal malice heretofore, taking into
consideration the fact that they were
the very men at whom the Kuklux vil
lains aimed their heaviest blows, and
we are pleased to see it. For thq un
just enforcement of a law , makes the
friends of the guilty despise the 'law,
and fails to secure the ends desired. Let
our officers bear this in mind, and, while
thpv hv no means sDare the guilty, let
thpm rnrefullv avoid all aDDearance of
personal prejudice in these matters.

she lashed the youug men who flirt with
the girl-?, distracting their attention and
eating the food and burning the wood
and candles for which the poor girls
And thpir mrents have toiled. She ev
idently thought it unfair for a young
man who would not be tied to any
woman in the world," to expect the
girls to be jailed in a parlor with him.
Nor did she forget the married men,
who in the days of slavery lamented
their sepcration from their wives ; but
now, when they are free, desert them
of their own accord, under some pre
tended contract in a distant stale. She
urged every married woman to settle
with her husband in her own home, so
that he could not take his house on one
shoulder, his land on the other, and
emigrate with another woman under
his arm. She told married women . to
be industrious, frugal and pleasant, tto
make their homes cheerful and happy,
and to educate their children. She told
the voung men to learn good trades, in
stead of seeking political offices, and
to buy land now, before immigration in--rpneips
thr uriro.
She urged them to draw the lines of
society : not between tne learneu anu
the ignorant; for the former should in
struct the latter: not between the pros
perous and the needy; for the former
should help the latter ; but between the
virtuous and the vicious. She thought
it hard that, in some places, the plagues
of society were more honored than
virtuous freedmen ; and here we were
reminded that only a few evenings ago,
we saw in Tucker Hall prominent citi
zens of Raleigh sitting on seats adja
cent to those occupied by notorious
women. Still the lecturer urged the
colored people to frown upon vice,
even when it seemed to prosper, and to
practice virtue though neglected and
persecuted. The lecture will do good.
She is a plain, neat woman of good
common sense, and of respectable at
tainments, and is an easy, and impres
sive speaker. There were some in ac
curacies in her historical allusions, and
while tongue-lashing the men who
whip their wives (or hire them out and
drink their wa-es,) she attributed to
Shakespeare the following words, of
JohnTqbin:
"The man that lavs his hand upon a woman,
Rave in the wav of kindness, is a wretch,
Whom 'twere gross flattery to name a cow
ard." Still we freely forgive a few blunders,
to one who in her little tracts has said :
Now, if yon are seeking
A wife for your youth.
Let this be your aim, then
Seek a woman of truth.
She may not have talents,
With greatness combined,
Her gifts may beIiumblo,
Of person and mind :
But if she lc constant.
And gentle, and true,
Believe me, my friend,
She's tho woman for you!
Let her habitd be frugal.
Her hands not afraid
To work in her household
Or follow her trade.
"Let her language be modest,
. Her actions discreet ;
Her manners refined,
And l'reo from deceit.
Vnw !f surh vou should find.
In your journey through life,
Just open your mma,
And make her your wife.
To the girls she says :
Wed not a man whoso merit lies
In things of outward show,
In raven hair or flashing eyes,
That please your fancy so.
But marry one who's good anlci
:ind,
Ana lreo irom au preience;
Who, without a gifted mind,
At least has common sense.

Caiipextep.'s Views on Amnesty.
Tn flioRonntoon Thursdav the am
nesty bill was again UFder discussion,
when Senator Carpenter made a speech,
the supstance of which is reported as
follows :
Mr." Carpenter expressed doubts as to
tne expeuieucy in jjitiuiiiiggciicioj
nestv at this time, but as many of his
political friends favored it, he supposed
nn nmnpstrv bill of some kind would
he nassed at this session. The effect of
amnesty, ho said, was simply to rein
force the Democratic party. In refer
ence to the civil rights amendment, he
held that it was most fit and proper
that it should, go-out with amnesty,
onri ho vrnnted it made a test. If the
TVmoorflts did not choose to take
with amnesty, then, if he could help it,
they would get no amnesty. He iiad
not the least doubt that if general am
rnctv wns extended. Jeff Davis and
the whole crew who went out of this
body.would in twelve months be sent
back here. .
He then analvzed the amendment of
Mr. Summer. He agreed in principle
with the Senator, but the question was
whether his amendment was constitu
tional, and whether it would do the
coioreu peopie buj k"
un me nrst
-irt h htuA stronn' doubts: on the
tr B ' -
second more. He was convinced that
it would be of no benefit to the colored
people. He then gave notice of a sub
stitute for the amendment, which he
said embodied the samejrjnciple.

The Southern States are atlast begin
ningHo have some conception of how
great a curse slavery brought upon
them.. The writers and thmkers of
that section are slow to admit the Tact
that to the inhuman system to which
they so fondly clung, to perpetuate
which they made so desperate an ef
fort, and to which many of them still
look back with regret, that to that sys
tem may, in a great measure, be traced
the two reasons of the present backward
condition of that portion of the country,
as compared with the North and the
East and thewest. It is the fashion in
the South to attribute all their woes
and hardships to the oppression and
exaction of the Government. A pei
petual wail comes up iromaii inecuin
ern States that it is a system of misrule
and of interference on the part of the
Federal Government that hinders J in
dustry, kills enterprise, delays prosper
ity, and keeps the people in poverty.
4 Light is, however, gradually dawn
ing on the South, and the more thought
ful of her leading men are beginning to
that. It. is not the effects of the war.
the Government, or the oppressions of
Via VonVooa" that mnkft tho richest
and most productive portions of j the
Union the poorest and the least popu
lous. They are beginning to see that
the conditions of the two sections! are
essentially different; that the North is
rich and prosperous to-day. because she
has been free, and that the South halts
hhinri hpr in thfi march of DrosTess be
cause she was not free. The tables of
population which have just been print
ed are hammering some Ideas into their
heads, and they are beginning to spec
ulate upon what might have Been! if a
portion of the immigration that has
been pouring its golden streams and
rivulets over the North and West for
the last sixty or seventy years had been
diverted in their direction. Even now
they are attributing it to ignorance on
the part of the Immigrant of the advan
tages which they had to offer, instead
of fairly and honestly acknowledging
that immigration did not flow to them
because they upheld a system which
degraded and demoralized labor, .be
cause their whole social and political
structure, was founded on tho idea that
labor was a disgrace. .
Commodore Maury, who is favorably
known to the world as a scientific man,
has recently written a letter on this
subject, in which he insists upon the
desirability and necessity of immigra
tion for the South. Mr. Maury esti
mates that-if there had been no immi
gration since 1790, the whole popula
tion to-day would be only ten. millions
of white inhabitants. He says "the
difference of twenty-five millions of in
habitants is due to the immigrants and
the descendants of immigrants who have
settled in the country for the last eighty
vpnrs. Now. Aceordinsr to Mr. Chase's
estimates, each of these ten millions of
people is worth to the JNortn, in tneir
persons and with their capital and la
bor, $1,000. I think that his estimate
is too high, and suppose that $500, would
be nearer the mark. These five thou
sand millions of dollars represent what
the North has gained more than the
South by immigration alone; this, ex
clusive of the military power which
rQidfvq in ten millions of neonle."
. Mr. Maury thinks that if thoi South
could now "set 111 motion ior ner uor
icra n. stream of immigrants as srreat as
that which has given the North her
excess of population" sne wouia in
eighty years be as great and rich as the
North is to-day. Probably she would.
AVc have no obiection to her making
the attempt ; on the contrary, we hope;
she will labor earnestly and long to se-f
cure that result. But there is one ele-l
ment in the Southern States at the pres
ent time which her people should not
ignore we mean the colored classes.:
The South, instead of attempting to
drive them away by legislation, or of
killing tnem on oy lmamous organize
tinn for that nurnose. should nurture
and cultivate them. A black I laborer
represents a thousand dollars, as the ex-t
planter very well knows, as well as a
white man does, and it should be the
aim and the effort of men like Mr. Mau4
ry to teach his people that she cannot

three men who saw, witn norror anu
amazement, the predicament of the
boy, who. without a cry or struggle
was hanging over certain death. . They
ran across the street into the house and
up stairs toward the attic, when, as

the boy, but too close to the house for
his apparent purpose, the boy hanging
just over the railing: he stepped, over
the latter, and with his feet resting - on
the edge of the platform of the porch,
and one hand grasping an iron support,
he waited. In the meantime, the other

descending, when they discovered the
impossibility of reaching the boy in

of the exhausted boy, he with a shrill

THE AMERICAN WASHER!
PRICK, 0550.
The American Washer Saves Money, Time, and
Drudgery.
The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer
Dreaded, but Economy, Efficiency, and
Clean Clothing, Sure.
In calling publie attention to this little
machine, a few of the invaluable qualities,
(not possessed by any other washing ma
chine vet invented. are here enumerated.
Tt. ia the smallest, most compact, most
portable, most simple in construction, most

a few hours practice, can thoroughly com-

One half of the labor is fully saved by its
use, and the clothes will last one-half longer
tho olrl nlan of the rub board. It
will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts
at a time, washing thoroughly ! In a word,
the ablution. of any fabric, from a Quilt to a
T.0.Q r?nrtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are
equally within the capacity of this LITTLE
GEM ! It can be fastened to any tub and
taken off at will.
No matter how deep rooted a prejudice
may exist against Washing Machines, the

form its wonders, all doubts of its cleansing

it is as periect ior wasiiing as a wnngei it
