'I'he Clnlmn mt American (ItUt-tw - An Vn
lauht upon the United Hi at on and I be. C m
niHtn for their Adiiiftlinrnt.
From La Opinion National, of CiriwfM, Vene
zuela, of March 19, we translate the following
article, widen opinion the character of sonic of
tho claims of citizens of the I tilted Suites upon
the Venezuelan Government, and also chows the
bitter animosity of the VcnczueLitis on the sub
ject, aud the spirit which hiw prompted tin ir
Government to repudiate the murd of the Goin
uilscton: The name of thin distinguished ciilen (Mr.
Vilirtfane) oniht to be written lu the catalogue
f tho Venezuelans who have nerved their coun
try with unalloyed honesty, faithfulness, intelli
gence, and patriotism. Such has been the ninglv
consolatory reflection Uiat we have mnde on
flinching the perusal of the report given to the
TOvernineut upon the nets of the mixed com
mission appointed to deride and settle the
North American claims against Venezuela. The
mixed rouiiulssWm was composed of .Mr. Villa
fane, the Commissioner of the Republic; of
Mr. Talmagc, the Commissioner of the
United States, and of Mr. J. N. Maehado.
Jr., as umpire, appointed hv the Russian Minister
at Washington. When fr. Maehado was ap
pointed umpire by the Minister of a' neutral
power, nobody could explain to himself the
motive of his election. Time has taken upon
itself to reveal that inch appointment was the
work of some intrigue on the part of Mr. Tal
mage, or of the American interests Involved,
from the moral responsibility of which the
Russian Minister became free, since he consulted,
as to the appointment, with our r cprescntative
at Washington, Mr. Florencio Kivas, and
obtained his approval. By virtue of this
intrigue, the Court of Equity was consti
tuted with ' three judges, two of whom
had at the outset prejudged the question. The
glory of defending with good reasons his coun
try's rights, and of wrestling against the deplo
rable errors of his own fellow-countryman, fell
to the lot of Mr. Villufaue. If, in this struggle,
the republic has come out losing two millions
of peso, to Mr. Villa fane is due exclusively that
the spoliation has not been thrics greater; and
for a monetary loss, that time may repair, there
has been obtained in exchange a moral victory,
to wit: The satisfaction at the Republic having
come out triumphant, through the immaculate
and heroic conduct of its .own commissioner,
from a contest, or rather from a snare, trea
cherously prepared against its impoverished
treasury, In the name of the Government of the
United States, of that great Government which
in front of its pompous motto. Anwrica for
Americans, pretends to save us from European
rapacity at the same time that it allows us to
fall into the wicked clutches of its own special
agents ! What has transpired in this business is
extraordinarily shameful for the Government of
the United States, and it we make, for justice sake,
an exception of the gentlemanly Prnyn, Minister
ad interim of that Republic in this city, whose .
nanus we oeueve 10 oo completely ciean, iuc
other American agents in this iniquitous affair'
have deserved, in nn analogous ease, in their
own country, the infliction of popular justice.
For no greater crime arc delinquents in the
land of Washington exemplarily punished. By
virtue of the awards of the Commission the
Venezuelan Treasury has become constituted
debtor to the Government of the United States
of North America for ftl.Sr&SUi'HO, almost two
millions of our money.

PRESIDENT GRANT.
i
A Wmlern Tour Projected.
From the San Francinco Alta Calirhrnia, Murrh ,
Private correspondence received in tin city
from Washington gives us positive and authen
tic information that President Grant will cer
tainly visit this coast during the coming sum
mer. Vice-President Colfax is vptcted to ac
company the grand excursion party, which will
make tho trip earlier, by way of celebratiug the
opening of the read. General Grant, however,
desires to cross the continent in a less ostenta
tious manner later in the season, with but a very
small party. The visit of the President, should
he come to California, would be an occasion for
the greatest euthusiasm ever wkucd in the
tate; and, as Grunt is the first man that ever
has held the Presidential clnlr aud has previ
ously resided in California, it would be quite
lining that he should be the first President of
the United States that ever visited the State.
View of lite Executive on Virliu Alliilr.
From tht Jtich.nvnd Whin, April 84.
We have the most ".-ratifying assurances from
Washington that General (.rant will give us a
fair election, and afford every opportunity for
making the best that eau be made of the Under
wood abomination. He is in favor of real Peace
and of whatever will best promote the true lute
rests of the Common wealth. All the tricks and
devices of those artful dodders ells aud
Bond will he thrown away upon him. They
are now in Washington spending their money
in vain. General Grant, with the aid of Gene
ral Caubv, in whom he ha perfect confi
dence, will settle this matter to the satis
f iction of the people of irglma, aud the
Walker ticket, running on the Grant prog ramme,
will bo elected bv at least a hundred thousand
majority. We are evcrv day more and more
persuaded thot Wells will not si aud a poll.
Whatever politicians in Washington and New
York may say, in this whole matter ot infinla
reconstruction General Grant has acted the part
of a true man of a high man of one who knew
what was right, and resolved to enforce it. At
his first interview with the 'Coruiaittee of Nine
he declared that the Underwood Constitution
wild an abomination; that various clauses in it
would be stricken out und voted down by the
people, aud he has known no variation or 'sha
llow of changing on the subject from that day
to this. He still thinks those abominable clauses
should be stricken out. He is determined that
they shall be stricken out, uud that the thing
(the Underwood Constitution) shall be amended
and improved as much as it is capablo of being
improved. We frpeuk Hint wjitrvvf w$ know.

Vt lint in irt In Hrirnrd to lli" rtrrognhion ol
Cuba by I he I tilled Smiex,
The Loudon Times of the 13th instant con
tains a column editorial on the recent action of
the House of Representatives of the United
States in relation to the prospective recognition
of Cuban independence, from which wc make
the following extract:
The House of Representatives at Washington
haeloed its session with a characteristic art. It
has p.ed a prospective resolution for the
recognition of Cuban Independence by a majority
so large that one report describes it as curried
unanimously. More than a month ago a similar
resolution was adopted by the late House of
Representatives ami strangely eoupled with a
profession of sympathy with the reolutiou in
Spain. In both cases the vote could have none
but a moral effect, since the constitutional
responsibility rests with the President, who has
already received a memorial on the subject from
the Cuban Insurgents. The House of Repre
sentatives, however, assures President Grant of
its supjwrt in the event of his seeing tit to
recognize any (le facto government In Cuba based
on republican principles.
The belief of the American people that Cuba
must sooner or later fall into -their hands has
long been all but openly avowed. Not only tho
intrinsic value of the island, but the conscious
ness that it might bo worth inllnitely more to
America than to Spain, irresistibly recommends
the idea of annexation. " Far be it from
us to represent this action, however premature,
as a moral enormity or as an intentional insult
to Spain. Even if it were an intentional insult
it might well have been provoked by certain
hiuh-handed proceedings of the Spanish fleet,
which concerns ourselves as well as the United
States. What is too self-evident to be denied is
that it is utterly and flagrantly incon
sistent with the "grounds upon which the
Alabama claims have been always supported-
by American diplomatists. The com
plaint against Great Britain is that wc conceded
belligerent rights to the Confederates with un
due haste, though not till after belligerent rights
had been assumed by the United States Govern
ment through a proclamation of blockade. With
a far weaker justification the American House of
Commons now urges the President to take a far
stronger course. So far as the facts are known,
there is no comparison between the position of
the Cuban insurgents and that of the Confede
rates in the first year of the war. The utmost
that is alleged on behalf of the former, lu the
address to Prcsidcut Grunt, is that two-thirds of
the island is under their control, and a majority
of tho population in their favor. In respect of
capacity for self-government, they arc im
measurably behind the Southern whites, and
nothing but the internal embarrassments of
Spain lias enabled them to hold their own
against General Didcc. Vet it is proposed uot
ouly to recognize thetn as belligerents, but to
recognize them as an independent State, with
out awaiting the is-ne of the contest. Again,
wc say. this may be right, but if it be right, how
frivolous are all" the charges against the British
Government in respected its attitude towards
the Southern Confederacy ! Let us imagine a
similar resolution having been carried in our
own House of Commons and communicated to
Mr. Seward. There is a difference, indeed, iu
constitutional power between the House of Com
mons and the House of Representatives, and
the possible secession of Culm has long becu
familiar to the Ameiieau mind, but all other
differences tell on the opposite' side. .It will
greatly surprise us if Mr. Alotlev does not em
phatically repudiate this er poul faeto precedent
and trive'up its dcfeuc in despair. We freely
idniit. on our part, that President Grant is iu
no degree responsible for it, and is perfectly free
to open negotiation- on Mr. Seward's basis", as if
it did not exist. Wc only commend it to the
attention of those who. forgetting what passed
Khcu Hungary revolted, draw unfavorable con
tracts between American and Knglish observance
of neutrality. In the diplomatic intercourse of
great nation's tn qtioive arguments are wholly
out of place. If England ha done a wrong to
the United States, a subsequent wrong done by
the United State to Spain cannot be set off
ag'S'ist It- The real moral of the case is that,
so long as governments act honorably bv each
other, too much wei'iiit ehould not be" given to
main testation of feeling in popular fis.-:cuihli-.
CUBA.'
Vtte lliHUiuenli Will Hold OhI. i
. i licve is authority for stating that the !pauiU ,
envoy to thi country c-tcems the rebellion iu
Cuba' a substantially at an end. That this is
too sangninc an announcement is generally be
lieved here, but that serious reverses have been
suffered bv- the insurgents is admitted and
known. Mr. Robert declares that within sixty
days there will not be a mau in arms against the
authorities, aud that General Print wiU find the
situation pacific ou his arrival. It stems that
the Captain-General ha had about thirty thou
sand men under arm-, and they are steadily ad-
vaneing and repossessing the iuterior country.
The legation here view the insurrection as con
cluded, and anticipate a proclamation of cleni
cucv iua few days, which will secure the adhesion
of those who ye't feebly hold out. On the other
hand, the agents of the'iu-urgents. whi'.etheyare
depre-sed, are not hopele-s, uudtheygiveout that
substantial reason exist to believe that the
rebellion may yet rue vigorously revive than
ever, owing tVthe fact that the conceded occu
pation ot the interior di-tricts by the authorities
will concent rule the insurgent toreos more
effectively. It is now competent to state that
an expedition ha been In procc ol organiza
tion lor some time; that it ha offices in Phila
delphia, this city, and New York: that several
hundred men in" the lit'it aud last title have
been eiucikd. aud that a regular regimental
classification i.'is been agreed upon at least on
p!(per one oi the lighting McCook family being
staled to nc in coiiuuavn. i iitti e.xpcuuioii ill '
or was to depart from C harleston.- What com-
plexion the present news will ca-t upon the
enterprise cannot be foretold. It is believed,
however, that it will delay it, and most probably
disband it altogether. I'he great ditlieulty the
insurgent hae experienced has arisen from
three causes: The properly men have been
against them: they cannot buy arms, having
neither TiiOuey nor a market, and their emanci
pation buvt ha- tailed, the negroes preferring to
remain at labor than inu-ter into regiments.

MOTLEY.
Ill Miloti ia th Mother Connlrv-WhiU ll
l.llert Will Be-Nmlonal .Neutrality.
Writes George W. Smaller to the New York
Tribu nc from London, on the 14th lust.: The
effect of Mr. Motley's appointment, which wc
have this morning, had been anticipated, or I
may say discounted, by the announcement some
days ago that it had been resolved on. The
papers have said their say on it in advance. Mr.
Motley is so widely known iu London person
ally, as well as by his public reputation, that his
probable nomination excited the keenest in
terest. I think the highest compliment paid
him. or that could be paid him, is the
desire I have heard expressed more
than once, that he would come in anv
other capacity than that of Minister. Mr. Mot
ley has many English friends, to whom his re
turn w ill be a gratification, but who don't at all
like the positive Americanism he will introduce
into his diplomacy, They know he is not to te
cajoled by the sort of flatteries to which his pre
decessor fell a victim, and they begin to suspect
and perhaps to dread that ho will come
without any purpose or any instructions to
renew negotiations on the Alabama question.
The same despatch that announces his appoint
ment anuounccs the rejection of the Johnson
treaty, by 54 to 1, in the Senate. Even an
English public ought to detect some con
nection between those two facts. On the
present state of opinion here, iu respect to
America. I have a good deal more to say, but
not this morning. A few days may add some
thing to the public evidence of what in private
lias rather increased than diminished since the
first spurt of irritation following the adverse re
port by the Senate Committee on the Alabama
treaty. Opinion has not cooled down, so far as
I can sec. What I wrote some weeks since, in
discussing the probable effect of Sir Henry
Bulwcr's motion, is probably still truo. Cir
cumstances may bring on or may postpone that
motion. In cither event, the coming of Mr.
Motley will be eagerly looked for. There is
no one thing Englishman so much want as
an authoritative statement of what America
wants what will content you. We have
had nil kinds of rumors about Mr. Sumner's
speech. If Mr. Sumner has not yet delivered it,
he would immensely oblige people on this side
by doing so at the earliest moment. In the lack
of other material, one or two journals have
shown a certain enterprise in hunting up Mr.
Motlev's address to the Historical Society of
New York, from which they have drawn deduc
tions that might be surprising to its author.
Another kind of compliment, which will not
much gratify Mr. Motley, is the copious adver
tising in the Londou papers of a pirated edition
of his histories, offered at a third of tho price
which purehu-iers have to pay his own pub
lishers. One result of the English anxiety to think
themselves right on the Alabama question is an
effort to make us out wrong in the matter of
belligerency. The vote of the House of Repre
sentatives in respect to Cuba has furnished a
text for people who enjoy the tit qnoque style of
argument. See, cry the Pall Mall Gazelle, and
the Times, they complain of England for recog
nizing the Confederacy; yet the House of Rep
resentatives has voted" to recognize Cuba. One
is as bad as the other. A recognition is a recog
nition they can no longer have the face to
make a grievance of ours. These writers
belong to the celebrated school of logic
which established the identity of Macedon
and Monmouth. It is not to an Ameri
can audience that the impudent fallacy
needs to be pointed out. But with Englishmen
incapacity to place themselves in the position
of their antagonists i a national characteristic.
For their benefit. Mr. Conway has written a
brief answer to The Pall Mall', remarking that
what was complained of iu the English recogni
tion was its haste and discourtesy. Lord Rus
sell would not wait for the arrival of the
American Minister, who was hourly expected.
But the American Government has not only
waited for the Spanish Minister, but has not,
though he has been weeks in Washington, yet
recognized Cuba. There are points enough be
side this, which completely discriminate the two
cases, but you may expect the English papers to
go on for some months in their headlong wav.
repeatiug this parrot-cry about Cuba.

A Liverpool showman has on exhibition a

General Grant ticketed 'No. 340,' and General

Chicago, April 27. A horrible death from
hvdrophobia occurred here yesterday. The
victim was a youug man named William Good-
willie, of this city. A few weeks ago a friend
brought into the shop a little dog picked up In
the street. Goodwillie, in fondling it, was bittcu
in the thHinb. Little notice was taken of the
wound, which healed over. The first symptoms
of hydrophobia appeared on Sunday morning
when he arose and attempted washing himself.
The sight of water threw him into paroxysms.
Medical aid was summoned, but tho malady in
creased during the day, and at night he foamed
at the mouth, snapped at members of his family,
aud was Beized with convulsions. Every few
minutes he realized, during his lucid iutervals,
his situation, and begged his friends to keep
away for safety.
Yesterday afternoon it was determined to try

TVfMAnf, April IIJ,
The loan market is Just now in a condition
which is well calculated to inspire the public
with confidence and to stimulate every branch
of our national industry. The effect is every
where perceptible in tho very countenances of
our business men, as well as In trade and manu
facturing circles. Such is tho majric effect of an
abundant and cheap money market ou all our
national interests, which, if nothing occurs to
interfere with, will yet give us au active and
profitable spring trade. Fears are, indeed, en
tertained that the opening of lake and New
York canal navigation may create a demand for
money to move Western crops eastward, which
may again exhaust the resources of the market;
but no fears need be entertained on this score,
as these crops are iu great measure owned by
the Kastern banks; bitHides, the West is largely
indebted to the East. Hence we arc inclined to
expect a steady and easy market for somo time
to come.
all loans are easy at 5tS7 per cent., und dis
counts at tWS per cent, for prime business
paper.
liovernmcnt securities are f(iilct and steady.
Hold continues linn at l:W?i nt 12 M. to-d.iy.
There was a firm feeling in the Stock market,
and a considerable degree of activity. State
loans were steady, w ith sales of the ecenod
series at 10d, and the third do. at t'itv
lis were unchanged; the new issues sold at 101 j.
(iiivernnient bonds were firmer.
Kealing Kail road was active at 48V; Pernio.
R. R. sold at 511.' '; Lehigh Valley Railroad at M;
and Catawissa' Railroad preferred t a. q.
was bid for Philadelphia and Kric Railroad:
84' j for North Pennsylvania Railroad; and 54
tor M inch ill Railroad.
In Canal stocks no new feature to present. 18
was offered for Schuylkill Navigation preferred
and 32,' for Lehigh Navigation."
Coal stocks were quiet, with sales of New
York and Middle at A.
In Bank shares there were sales of Mechanics'
at 31 J and North America at 335.
