ME, Chamberlain on the WashingtonTreaty.

We received yesterday a copy of a let¬ter, printed in pamphlet form, addressedby Mr. D. H. Chamberlain to Hon. Ha¬milton Fish on the subject of the Wash¬ington treaty. The letter embodies Mr.Chamberlain's views, and his reasons

therefor, in regard to'the course whiohthe United States should pursue in rela¬tion to the ponding controversy over themuddled question of consequential da¬mages.

It may strike some as a trifle forwardin Mr. Chamberlain to volunteer his ad¬vice to the Secretary of State on a mat¬ter of suoh high diplomatic impórtanos.He anticipates this himself, and justifieswhat some might consider his presump¬tion upon the ground that "tho dangerof o grave and far-reaching mistake onthe part of our Government is sufficienteause for the most direct und earnesteffort of any citizen" to guard ngainst it.We do not feel disposed, after readinghis letter, to carp at Mr. Chamberlainfor presuming to intrude his opinioneven, upon suchen exalted functionaryas Mr. Fish. Every citizen certainlyhas the right to tender his advioe topublic officials with reference to ques¬tions involving the common interests;and whether he be presuming or intru¬sive in doing no. depends very muchupon the value of the suggestions whiohhe has to offer.Measured by this standard, Mr. Cham¬

berlain's letter needs no apology. Theimmodesty, if there be any, recedes en¬

tirely from view when one turns to con¬sider the sensible, luoid and convincingmanner in whioh the writer disposes ofthe "snag" of consequential damagesthat now checks the progress of the arbi¬tration, and seems likely to result in thefinal destruction of the treaty. The pro¬priety of the original insertion into the"American ease" of the olaims for indi¬rect damages. Mr. Chamberlain does notpropose to disouss, further than to saythat their presence exoited universal sur¬

prise in this country as well as in Eng¬land. He evidently thinks that our Qo-

.vornmont made afaux pas in presentingthe preposterous demand, and we agreewith him. To ns it is evident that theleading motive in the preparation of the"American case" was not as it shouldhave been, the suooess of the treaty andthe establishment of the prinoiple of na¬tional arbitration;] but at the risk oflosing all the great advantages whioh, asset Sörth by Mr. Chamberlain, the treatysecured to the United States and to thecause of oivilization throughout theworld, to hoist Grant in the estimation ofthe people by the "consequential" toneassumed towarl England, and the herocf Appomattox, ss it were, addingadditional lanrels to his bro ir by"bearding" the British lion in his den.Such, indeed, was the first impulse ofthe people when the "oase" was pub¬lished, and such, doubtless, would havebeen the general opinion now, if onlythe thing bad worked well. Bat Eng¬land's refusal to continuo the arbitra¬tion, unless onr "case" be modified, andthe certainty of the subversion of thctreaty, and the possibility of a war thatmight ensue, caused our people to re

fleet; and they have pretty generallyconcluded that Grant's bearding thcBritish lion is likely to "cost more tharit will oome to." Bolstered up by thcfirst outburst of thoughtless popular applause, Grant was induced to put on istiff upper lip, and to insist very firmlyupon sustaining the cane as presentedunder the impression that Englandwould change her base, the British Hoiturn tail to the bull pnp of A merioa, ancGrant become a hero again. It was ibold, though stupid, game. Ulyssejplayed. it and lost. He is now in a tortaring quandary, and at last accounts, iithe depths of bis perplexity.abd deepondenoy, had oalled in the Committeeof Foreign Relations, to see it safet;might not be found in a multitude ooounseUort; or, at least, the fearful responsibility, to some extent, shifted t<other shoulders.We think Mr. Chamberlain has indi

oated to bim the best course to pursueso far aa the welfare of the country iconcerned; and, perhaps, the best thin,for Grant, too, viz: to make an absolutWithdrawal of the olaims for inferen tindamages, and preserve the solid advantages of the treaty. Hr. Ohambeilain founds this opinion on the ground«to state them in brief terms, that thtreaty ie ot incomparably greater vainthan the incidental damages, and thcthe national honor will be better 001salted by acknowledging an error thaby maintaining a falso position, simpibecause it bas once been taken. This ivery trae, bat still it is not very oreditible for Grant, nor comfortable for tb

country, that oar Government is leftonly saoh an alternative.A Southerner, though, ts not in a po¬

sition to pronounce judgment on thisquestion of a settlement ot the Alabamaclaims. It would como with little gracefrom ex-Oonfederates to desire to eeo

England suffer heavily for what, \a itsworst features, was nothing more thanassisting ns in our struggle for inde¬pendence, as we conoeived it. But wewould* nevertheless, bo glad to see thodifficulty Bottled in a manner alike credi¬tableand advantageous to both COUD trien,if that be possible.

Trie Confcilei ato Dead,To-doy loving hearts will devote to

tho memory of the noble sons of theSouth who fell bravely battling for thooaase of Southern indépendance, andgentle hands, in token of their kindlyand honored remembrance, will drcBswith flowers the places where rust theirmortal remains. The return of this an¬

niversary recalls sad memories of thopast, when war was raging. While thou¬sands of the noblest sons of the Southwere marshaled nuder tbe "stars andbars" in defenoe of their firesides, theirmothers, sisters and a dearer one Btillthan all others, with aching hearts, were

anxiously waiting for tidings from theirloved ones. Each spark of the wireswhioh bore the news of the battle, whe¬ther a victory or a reverse, carriedmourning io some fireside, and mingledwith ths rejoicings for victory were thelamentations for the nobie dead. We iidid tho men in grey perform their duty,under the gnidanoe of their chieftains,Lee and Jackson, and oar own slainleaders, Gregg, Perrin, Jsnkins andGist. They performed glorious deeds ofvalor, and fell with their faoea to tho foe.When the small remnant that was left

succumbed to starvation and overwhelm¬ing numbers, not one word of reproachwas heard-but from their own people,and from tho whole world, arose a spon¬taneous acknowledgment that heroicvalor and devoted patriotism could do nomore. Although our cause ia lost, andwe have abandoned all resistance, yet wooan never cease to be grateful to ourdead heroes for yielding up their lives inour behalf. Every year, as the month ofMay brings with it flowers, will the noblewomen of the South pay a sad tributo ofaffection to those whom they loved BO

dearly and nursed so tenderly duringtheir lives. This year another gloriousname has been added to the roll of ourdead. Gen. Bobert E. Lee, the bravewarrior, the true gentleman and the de¬voted Ohristinn, now sleeps with thosewhom he so often led to victory. Thelist ia increasing daily, until ere longthe Confederate soldiers will live only inhistory.MY ADMINISTRATION.-After thu mas¬

terly retreat of the press from the Mili¬tary Hall on Tuesday night, there weresome farther bellicose demonstrationsby the loyal, which, however, endedwithout bloodshed, and a state of peacehaving been restored, bis Excellency waspermitted to resume the brief review ofthe history of "My Administration,"whioh had been so frequently and naugh¬tily interrnpted. We learn that he tookoccasion to say tbat no circumstances ofany nature whatever could possibly in¬duce him to be a candidate for tho guber¬natorial obair again, which may have hadthe effect of obtaining for him a hear¬ing. His Ercelloucy was followed iaturn by his Honor Judge T. J. Mackey,wbo made one of bis usual tellingspeeohes. He blamed the disturbance tothe Bowen faotion, whioh he called tbeCustom House ring, and then proceededto show up tho corruption of tb« party.His Honor went for the members of theLegislature with a sharp stick, and saidthat he had been to Washington to seethe President, and from bim hud learnedthat unless there was a reform effectedin tbe administration of State affairs,the General Government would have tomake provisions for the government ofthe State. By this time, peace reignedin Warsaw, and Judge Mackey was fol¬lowed by the inevitable, tho honorableTim. Hurley. The meeting Anally, afteruii«lnight, adjourned in a high state ofedification.-Charleston Courier.

ITOMIOIDH.-Ladt Monday evening,Mr. George Heokie, the marshal of thevillage of Summerville, shot and killeda negro named John Jackson, whom hewas bringing to jail by order of the In¬tendant of the village. When betweenthe city and Summerville, Jackson drewa knife and attempted to stab Mr.Heokie. In order to prevent the negrofrom outting him, Mr. Heckle was com¬pelled to shoot him. He at once re¬ported the affair to the authorities. Aninquest was held over the body, and averdiot of justifiable homioide by Mr.Heokie, in the commission of a lawfulact, was rendered. The deceased was avery turbulent obaraoter.

Tho Cincinnati ff o ratne ca.

Tho die is east. After aa excitingueesioa of two days, and after a coarseof measures which havo been markedwith very great wisdom, the. CincinnatiConvention proceeded yesterday morn¬ing to ballot for the election of candi¬dates for the two highest offices ia theUnion. It will be seen that HoraceGreeley has been nominated for the Pre¬sidency, and Governor B. Gratz Brownfor the Vice-Prenidon ey. A strongerticket could not have been selected.There is in theso nominations no emptyavailability, and in the platform nosmothering of principles, no ingenioussnare to seduce the hoarts of th« peopleaud to reach the end in u covert way.The nominees are men of talents und ofunspotted integrity. Horaoo Greeleywa» originally opposed to the war. Hoinsisted that tho "erring maters" boallowed to depart iii puaoo. When warbcoamo inevitable, bo nd voca ted it«vigorous prosecution ; but since tho lastgun was tired, nod thu Confederatesoldieis surrendered, he has bceu theconsistent, persistent advócalo of peaceund amnesty, and has urged uti oblitera¬tion of all the mad passions born of war.For twelve months Mr. Greeley ha«warred upon the despotism aud cariuption of the Grant administration.Of all the Northern mon, Mr. Groelejis now the least objectionable to tin

Southern people, however much tbejmay have once disliked him. lu thaidark hour, when they were broodier,over their desolated homes and aronuitheir thinned firesides, Mr. Greelojthrew himself into the breach. Scorning the slander of fanatics and carimnothing for pecuniary loss, he busteuetto Richmond and signed the bond oJefferson Davis, in order that he migbbo freed from a loathsome prison, antnnacH be restored between the two seoLions. Mr. Greeley started in lifepractical printer. He belongs to tbworking musses, for he bas been » coustant laborer for nearly forty yearsStrict and punctual in his business bubits, plain and affable in his mannerswith powers of mind whioh grasp, as iwere by iutuition, every subject to whiethey are applied, united to various nnextensive acquirements, he is pre-eminently qualified for the position to whiolhe has boen nominated. His career iCongress was guided by honesty aucharacterized by great ability. He isstatesman of enlarged views and expcriouoe; of extensive attainments; honettn his principles; pure in his private liftfaithful to his friends, and liberal to bioppoueuts. He has arrived at aa agwhioh has brought with it wisdom tguide his course, without imbecility timpair his aotive powers.The nominee for the Vice-Presidenc

rounds off the splendor of the tickeB. Gratz Brown, the present Governcof Missouri, is worthy of the high stition to which he aspires. He is a favoite among the younger sisters of tlUnion. He is the very type of thu pr«gress of our great country, and CODbines every element of strength.The Democratic party of the count]

has taken no part iu these nominationon account of the peculiar circumstano<by which it was surrounded. But as tlcandidates are unobjectionable, and tlplatform generally embraces the gre:constitutional principles for which Dmocrats have oontended, aud as the coitest is one between corruption athonesty-between despotism and frodom-between consolidation and tlrights of the States-we presumo tlDemocratic party will support tho Cicinnati ticket cordially, thoroughly ur.with a whole heart. Tho propositionhold a National Democratic Conventicfor the purpose of instructing Democruas to their duty, in an hour like the prsent, is a work of supererogation.National Democratic Convention can acno strength to the Cincinnati ticktwhile tho least imprudence would eauincalculable injury. We earnestly tmtho folly of holding a National Demoratio Convention-the farce of marcing np tim hill and then inarching dovagain-will not be enacted. So furthe "Appeal" is oonoerned, it has kealoof from tho «élection of candidat»but now that a nomination is made,will rally to the support of Grouloy a:Brown. Tiley deserve the vote of eveman who would preserve our Republicinstitutions, who loves liberty and haldespotism, who admires honesty and nhers corruption, who detests anareand would preserve the Conntituticand who war upon consolidation whclinging to the rights of tho States,tho canvass every patriot will find in tmomentous issues involved n rallying cfitted to stir the popular heart todepths, and to enlist the whole patrioimpulso of the land.Nothing is wanting to secure an ovi

whelming viotory bat for tho au ti-Gmmen to be trae to themselves. Whatdelightful spectacle to Bee the Dencrats and liberal Republicans unitingthe glorious work of saving tho count:We invoke every Democrat to rallytho standard erected by tho Cine»unConvention, whioh is truly the emblof his country's glory. If any are luiwarm, we oall upon them to arouse fr«their indifference. If any have disipointments to brood over, or fanoy tfcare humiliated, we pray them to saorittheir private griefs upon the altar of Icommon good. We invite all to tapart in the contest against despotiadishonesty and corruption that they rxparticipate in the glory of the grvictory whioh is destined to crown \efforts to restore peace and to prese:the Constitution. Let every Dumoomerge all Belflsh considerations inimpulses of a noble patriotism. In ving for Greeley and Brown, and endeing the platform erected at Cinoinmwo aro simply doing what is vitul toperpetuity of our institutions. 1whole South must do her duty ingood work. Upon the broad platfowhioh was erected with snob unanimiall good men can stand, and in suppof it Virginia, the mother of States i

statesmen, and the entire Sooth will befound united.Let there be no misgivings, but,

united, let us go forth io a spirit of vic¬tory, and wi td hope and glad courage;and, rely on it, a bright and glorious sunwill gleam upon the horizon of the com¬ing cou test, und lead ns to a glorious tri-nmph. Tho spirit of the people isaroused, and soon we shall hear their re¬sponses, speaking in thunder tonesagainst oorruption and for reform. Letus not fall into the error of despisingour euemy; but lot us conciliate and or¬ganize. We sh ul I have no child's playof it. Then lot us preparo for a iiurceand formidable encountor. Wo have theforco to boat thu Radicals. But wo mustplace ourselves in auch n position as tobring ali our available strength in thofield. So organized, so united, so well-armed, wo caro not whom wo have to en¬counter. Bo it the present incumbent,with ult the machinery of tho Govern¬ment aud the corruptiou of hm thieves,wo shall defeat him unless wo waste ourstrength iu idle quarrels. From thismouiout should every member of thcgreat patriot party of tho country deemhimself enlisted for thc campaign, anddevote all his efforts and euorgies to thoglorious cause of reform until tho battleis fought aud won.-Memphis Appeal.

A Washington telegram of Sundaysays: "A special conference which wushold at tho State Department yesterday,between the President, Secretary ofStute, and Messrs. Harlan, Pattersonand Morton, of the Senate, and GeneralBanks, of tho House Committee on Fo¬reign Affair.*, on the correspondenceover tho consequential claims feature oftho American case, shows that whileEngland has not absolutely rejected theproposition made by tbis Governmentto Bettie the matter outside of the Ge¬neva board, she docs not exactly see howa settlement is to be accomplished to bemade binding between tho two Govern¬ments, except by a supplemental treaty,or in some form not yet proposed. Inother words, Great Britain does not con¬cede that the United States withdrawsthe indirect damage claims from all ne¬gotiation.
