"Gentleman Ucorre nd "Hod-Hot
From the N. T. Tribune.
In the hurry of jaehiiig events our astute
And omnipresent reporters neglected to chro
nicle meetiag which reoently took place ia
thie city, and which has great political eignifl
canoe. We read an acoouut of it in Mr. Brick
I'omeroy's paper, the New York Democrat,
'On Thursday "night," says the Democrat,
"the lion. Kiohard fciouell gave, at the elegaut
rooms of the Manhattan Club, a dinner to the
lion. George-II. Peudle on, who is visiting for
a season in this vicinity. At Biz o'olock, a
ltoge party of distipguished guests sat down
to a most sumptuous repast, lasting until ten
o'olock, when those in attendance arose from
the tables feasted and surfeited with the viands
go lavishly get bafore them." We learn, also,
that among thoBe preBent were the lion.
George G. Barnard, Judge of the Supreme
Court; the Hon. A. Oiikey Hall, Mayor of
New York; the Iliu. Erastns Brooks, editor
of the New York Express; the lion. Benjamin
Wood, "4-11-44;" tlie Hon. Douglas Taylor,
the great Democratio fugleman aud torchlight-and-banner
provider for the unterrified, and
the lion. Mark M. l'omeroy, the great Demo
cratio statesman of the West, and the red-hot,
white-heat obampion of the East. The writer
adds: "Mr. Pendleton is in fine health, and
will soon return home we trust as well
pleased with New York as our leading men
are with him."
This company was as remarkable for those
Who were absent as for those who were present.
Where, we ask, was the lion. S. L. M. Barlow,
the owner of the editor of the New York
World f Where was Mr. Samuel J. Tilden ?
Why was not "Governor" Hoffman invited f
And what has Mr. Tweed done that he should
be ruled out from any assembly of "distin
guished" Democrats ? Are we to suppose that
this dinner, which, from the tone of this re
port, was evidently given for the purpose of
bringing Mr. Pendleton and Mr. l'omeroy
together, was also intended to build np a new
Democratio party f Are we really on the
verge of a new rebellion in Democracy t lias
Mr. Pendleton's journey to New York been
Simply to revenge himself upon the Tammany
people for his defeat ? and are we to suppose
the mercurial Uakey and the volatile Barnard
find the trumpet-blowing Taylor are heading
another secession, with Pendleton as the
coming candidate and Pomeroy as the great
leader 1 It lotks suspicions.
Think of the speeches that arose amid the
fumes of the wine and the fragrance of the
cigars in that back-parlor of the Manhattan
Clubt Imagine Mr. Pendleton the elegant,
the suave and polished gentleman of the
West rising and greeting, in tones of mea
sured eloquence, his illustrious brother of the
East the renowned, the intrepid "Briok."
Then think of the speech of Mr. Pomeroy
for Brick is a prodigious speaker dwelling
upon the services he has rendered to the
party, upon his own commanding importance
as a Democrat, upon hia friendship for Mr.
Pendleton, the zeal with which he supported
Lis nomination, and, finally, his continued
assaults upon Mr. Lincoln. We hear Pome
roy depicting the "gorilla Lincoln," the "Illi
nois monkey," roasting in the lowest pre
cinots of hell, while the eyes of the guest snap
with delight, and Barnard and Conn oily, and
Hall and Brooks, echo the sentiment with
enthusiastic cheers. This report has an affec
tation oi modesty, but it is plain to us that of
this company ".Brick" was tbe leader, lie
may have been put at a side table, or sand
wiched between Taylor and Schell horrible
fate I but "where MaoGregor sits is the head
Of "the table."
The meeting of Pendleton and Pomeroy
we note as a significant event. The faot that
they were surrounded by "a large party of
eustingnisea" Democrats shows that trouble
is brewing in Tammany Hall. Are we to
have a new party, a red-hot party, a white
heat Democracy, with free lotteries in every
State, with Chief Justice Barnard on the bench
of the Supreme Court, Pendleton as President,
. and the public- debt repudiated r
The Tarty of Patriots.
From the N. Y. World.
One good at least, it may be hoped, will
result from the nomination of Governor Fen
ton by the Republicans at Albany as their
candidate for the Senate of the United States.
It will hardly be possible for the blindest
blookhead in all the Loyal League who,
being politically and intellectually blind, is
also personally and morally honest to deny,
in the face of this nomination, that his party
has ceaBed to represent either the respecta
bility, the purity, or the character of the
country. A man is judged by the company
he keeps. A party must be judged by the
candidates it makes. Nearly a century ago,
Dr. Johnson, so Boswell tells us, startled a
goodly company at the club (Charles Fox in
the chair, and Sir J03b.ua Reynolds and
Gibbon among them) by deolaring, in his
sententious way, that "patriotism was the
last refuge of a scoundrel." Whether "pa
triotism" be now the last refuge of a scoun
drel may well, in view of the events ol a
few years past, be doubted. That it is the
sure relnge of a scoundrel cannot very well,
in view of the events of a few weeks past, be
denied.
It is an unquestionable fact that the nomi
nation to three importaut seats (we will speak
of no more to-day) in the highest legislative
body of the land ban, during these few weeks
paat, been lodged absolutely in the control of
the representatives of the party which has
loudly and persistently proclaimed itself to be
especially and exclusively the party of
"patriotism" in this country. It la equally
an unquestionable faot that each of those seats
has been filled by men of whom no. party can
accept the leadership without discredit, and in
a manner and by means which are calculated
to bring the operation of republican institu
tions into disrepute throughout the world.
The Senatorial elections in Pennsylvania and
In Miohigan, the Senatorial nomination in New
York, are eminently and for the matter of
that, avowedly elections an 1 a nomination
"not fit to be made." Why, then, have they
been made? They have been made by money
and for money. They have been made by
almost open corruption of the State Legisla
tures from which they were purchased, and
they have been made for the purpose of
Beourlng laoiie ana avauame 10011 in the
Federal Legislature, . already debauchel,
which their results are still further to
debauch. We say this not as partisans at
all, but as citizens. We say it not in anger
or in triamnb. but in sorrow and in shame.
No Democrat as a Democrat has the least rea
son to lament these calamities as calamities to
the Democratio party. They are, in truth,
contributions tJ the inevitable eventual vie
tory of Democratio principles over Rspabliuan
madness and passion. But they are calami
ties to the oonntrv. The evil inlluenoe which
such men as those who have thus been put
forward into the highest plaoes of publio trust

what answer have they to make to their own

acter are not, as the clergyman and the sohool

The Alabama l'rolocol The Case Iierare
the Senate.
From the N. T. Timet.
The long diplomatio struggle ovor the Ala
bama claims is substantially ended. Lord
Clarendon and Minister Johnson have agreed
upon and signed, in behalf of their respective
Governments, a convention for the settlement
of all claims arising between the two Govern
ments since the treaty of 1853; this conven
tion is on its way across the ocean; and mean
while a telegraphed copy has been forwarded
by the President to the Senate for considera
tion. If approved by that body, the formal
ratifications will be promptly exchanged, and
the treaty of settlement will become binding
and final.
It is not too much to say that, upon the
whole, the terms of the protoool are emi
nently favorable to the United States. Not
only are they based upon the original instruc
tions delivered to Mr. Reverdy Johnson as
representing the demands of his Government,
but they contain all those amendments (or
counter-propositions) made by Mr. Seward to
the protoool d.awn up and signed in Novem
ber by Lord Stanley and Minister Johnson. In
other words, every material point made by
the Department of State has been conceded
substantially in the form in which it was sub
mitted. The Clarendon-Johnson Convention provides
in the first place for a mixed commission to
settle all claims, in plaoe of the foreign arbi
tration originally proposed by Lord Stanley.
A foreign arbiter could in any case have set
tled the general question of liability in the
Alabama claims, leaving that of specific dam
ages still to go before a joint commission. Mr.
Seward's proposition that both questions
should go before the same tribunal is now
substantially acceded to.
In the next plaoe, the convention embraces
in its scope all claims which have been pre
sented to either Government tor its interposi
tion with the other since the treaty of 1853 a
provision of mutual advantage, as settling or
barring all outlying claims in the past and
giviDg a clean slate for the future. In like
manner the Convention of '53 between Lord
Russell and J. R. IngerLoll stretched back
over all unsettled claims between that and the
treaty of Ghent, signed in 1814 but no
further. The year 18(J'.) will thus be a starting-point
for the next claims' treaty of the
future. However, Mr. Seward has carried, it
seems, after much difficulty, two important
excluBory provisions, whereof the first excepts
from the jurisdicton of the commission all
claims already finally decided by the Admi
ralty courts, while the other excepts all claims,
growing out of the war, of British subjects
who cannot prove their neutrality to the satis
faction of the commission. He ha3 also suc
cessfully enforoed his objection to the classifi
cation of claims made in the November proto
col, and has procured that the Alabama claim?
Bball go under the same head with all others,
and be put in the same class.
The next main point carried by our Govern
ment relates to the decisions of the joint com
mission. This body, as is now well known, is
to consist of four persons, two appointed by
each Government. The November protocol
required an unanimous decision to substan
tiate the Alabama and Shenandoah claims,
but only a majority decision for the others.
This, of course, could not be agreed to. The
State Department demanded that the same
rule should apply to all claims; and it further
submitted that a majority decision should be
sufficient foreach case. This, with reluctance,
was conceded.
Next came the question of providing for the
case of a tie vote. The Department of State
made the condition, as against th November
protocol, that the selection of the arbiter by
the two Governments in such a ca3e should
be subject to the ratification of the Senate;
and this is now agreed to. However, if this
last is not done within six months after a case
is bo reported, each paity in the commission
selects the name of an arbiter, and the deci
sion is made by lot. We need hardly add
that the great question Involving this point is
most likely to be, whether her Majesty's Gov
ernment is liable at all for the Alabama's es
cape and depredations. That settled, all the
rest is plainer sailing.
As to the minor points of the protocol the
time of filing, deciding, aud paying claims,
the expenses of the commission, the agree
ment for fair and final decision, and what not
these details are common to all similar
diplomatic document?, and call for no com
ment just now.
Taking all these concessions, together with
the change of plau of titling from London to
Washington, our Government has reason to
be well satis-lied, upon the whole, with its
persistent action in this hotly-contested
diplomatio struggle. Without seeking to fore
cast the action of the Senate, it J 3 yet clear
that the protracted controversy is well-nigh
over. That auy other than a peaceful solu
tion could oome cf it has been, of course, at
least Binoe the Bummer of 1805, preposterous.
Nevertheless, Erich were the questions of na
tional punctilio iuvolved, that we luaybd very
well content that the long drawn allair is prac
tically ended.
The Great turojiean Trouble Another
Complication lu the JJast.
From the JV. Y. JfcraM.
The conference which for some days past
has been in session in Paris closed its sittings
on Monday, and the Turkish Ambassador has
received instructions to sign the protoool
agreed upon by the conference. Oar cable
telegrams Btate that the belief was general in
Paris that Greeoe would not rejeot the terms
of settlement. Moreover, it will be Been that
the Emperor Napoleon, in his address at the
opening of the French Legislature on Monday,
refers to, the satisfactory and peaceful conclu
Blon of the deliberations of the conforms.
Thus, for a time at least, we have a promise
of the preservation of the peaoe of Europe
Every one feels that there ia a question tV
yoiid the mere preservation of peace between
Tut key and Greece; but as every one Is oon
vlnod that in the present in3tanoe Greece has
put herself In a wrong position, the preserva
tion of peace, If only temporary, mint ba re
garded as a positive gain. It deserves to be
noticed, however, in connection with this
matter, that while peaoe was the aim of the
conference, the powers represented seemel
speoially desirous to avoid cotnmlttln" them
selves to a war policy in the event of "the par
ties at varianoe refusing to follow out their
recommendations. The billyiug propensity
was less manifest than It was wont to bs on
tbe part of the great powers. This, too, is a
gain; for it encourages the hope that the time
is coming when expensive wars will be studi
onsly avoided, and when differences between
nations will be settled ly reason and argu
ment rather than by the sword and the bullet.
At tbe fame time we caunot close our eys
to tbe fact that tbe Eastern questions, as'we
are in the habit of navniDg it, must become
morn and more a source of trouble to Europe
The Ottoman power is as mnoh an exotio ou
the European Bide of the Bosphorus in the
nineteenth as it was in the fifteenth century.
For four hundred years the Moslems have
ruled in the city of Constautine and been
masters of the empire of which Constantino
niBy be sail to have been the founder. But
while the Slaves, the Roumans, anl tbe
Greeks have submitted to the authority of
their new masters, they have clung tena
clonely to their ancieut faith and maiutaiued
the characteristic of tbbir respective races. The
line which separates the original race3 from the
Turks is not, perhaps, so bioal or so sharply
defined as it once was; but it is broad enough
aud sharp enough to convince the most scep
tical that final amalgamation is impossible.
After well-nigh five hundred years' rule in
Europe, it has still to bo admitted that there
are twelve millions of Christians to five mil
lions of Mussnlmen. The Rayahs, as the
Greeks of Turkey are named, differ in nething
from the Hellene Greeks of the kingdom but
in this, that the former are the subjects of the
Sultan and the latter are the subjects of King
George. The Slavic races between the Balkan
and the line of the Danube, though they speak
in other tongues than that of Greece, have
been as little inlluenced by Turkish ascend
ancy as their Routuan and Grecian neighbors.
The Turk is known to b the ruler; but in no
part of European Turkey is the ruler
loved, or does the belief exist that
his rule shall be permanent. Four hundred
years' experience has not convinced any of
the European races now within the bounds of
the Turkish Empire that a Christian should be
governed by a Mussulman. The love of life
in the general case is stronger than the love of
country, tbe love of rac, or the love of reli
gion; but all over European Turkey a better
time is looked for pud anxiously awaited,
when the love of life shall be compatible with
all the other nobler instincts of humanity. It
does not follow, from anything we have said,
that Turkish rule is necessarily bad. It only
follows that it is the ruUj of the stranger, and
that to that rule time has not reconciled the
governed.
These facts are not unknown to the govern
ments of Europe, in London, in Paris, in
Vienna, at Berlin, at St. Petersburg, it is
known aud understood that the continued
integrity of the Ottoman empire in Europe is
an impossibility. They know that no assist
ance from without, no treaties, no armed in
terference can save it long from internal col
lapse. They see that the Christian elements
of the population are beiig stirred up; that
they are waking from a long sleep and reveal
ing some newness of life; and that time only
is required to make them masters of the
situation. But the governments of Europe
cannot see beyond the deluge. The Mussul
man power destroyed, what is to follow?
This 110 one can answer. Russia is as am
bitious as ever to Bit enthroned in Con
stantinople and to "water her horses along
the Hellespont;" but to this the Western
powers will never consent. There is
smaller objection to the enlargement of the
Greek kingdom, but the kingdom is not yet
ripe for any such enlargement. The time,
however, may come, and may coma soon,
when a South Slavonio empire along the line
of the Danube, and a Oreek kingdom, stretch
ing north as far as the Balkan, and east as
far as the Dardanelles, will reooncile Europe
generally to the downfall of the Moslem em
pire. That time, however, is not yet. In
trigue, therefore, is busy, and deceit is every
where. The Western powers are jealous of
Russia, and Russia is impatient of their re
sistance. Russia has acquired a new power
in Asia which makes Great Britain more
fearful than ever. Another Crimean war
would place India in jeopardy. It will not
surprise us to learn that the fresh diflioulty
betweeB Persia and Tarkey Is the result of
Russian intrigue. In spite, however, of all
appearance to the contrary, we are willing
to believe that the result of the Paris Con
ference will prove the means of preserving
peace for the present, and that the final set
tlement of the Eastern question will be post
poned for at least another decade.
