snoomo AFFAIR.
Boh Idtdcr Smith Again In Trouble A
Yonng Man Shot In the Second Ward.
A fight took place in a bar-room at Moyatnen
eiug and Federal streets last night, which, it
is alleged, resulted in the shooting in the leg of
a young man named Andrew Myers by the no
torious Bob Lister Smith. It is said that Smith
was intoxicated last evening, and going into the
tavern found a number of young men engaged
in social conversation, lie got into an argu
ment with one of them named Renn, or Wren,
and the latter happening to put his hand behind
his back was roughly accosted by Smith, who
wanted to know what he had his hand on. The
reply was that it was his pocket-book, at the
eame time producing and showing it.
Smith then drew bis revolver, and with the
butt struck him on the head, cutting an ugly
Rash. Several of the assaulted man's friends
came to his assistance, when Smith was promptly
knocked down. He was let up, but wheu he
regained his feet ho discharged his revolver
into the midst of the crowd, and then ran out
into the street. By this time a large crowd had
collected around Smith. Shortly after Myers
came out of tbe tavern, and going to Smith
Baid to him, "You were in the wrong in that
thing." No sooner had the words issued from
his month than Smith, drawing his revolver,
said, "You're one of the fellows, too, are you?"
and at the same time discharged the weapon,
the ball taking effect in the left leg of Myers,
J! .1.. -1
Smith, after the commission of the deed, still
kept the weapon in his hand. Myers called
upon Otlicer Hawkins, of the Second district, to
arrest Smith, but it is reported that the reply of
the policeman was, "I've got no warrant. If
you get a warrant I'll arrest hitn." It is said
that Officers Dennison and Murphy begged
Smith to go away, which advice wa accepted,
and Smith jumped into a wagon and drove off.
Officer Hawkins was also reprimanded by a
citizen for not arresting Smith, when he quickly
told the citizen that he would arrest him if any
thing more was said.
TrtE Thikteentu Anniversary of the Sabbath-schools
of the Alexander Presbyterian
Church took place yesterday afterno3n, and, as
usual, there was a great crowd present. Rev.
Dr. Work read the Scriptures and delivered an
impressive prayer, and Rev. Alex. Reed, 1). 1).,
Kev. Matthew Newklrk, and Rev. Robert David
eon, D. D., made excellent addresses. The
music, nnder the leadership of Mr. Robert Lind
say, assisted bv Mr. George F. Pierson, tho emi
nently successful director of the OhoraJ Society,
and other members of that efficient musical
organization, was exceedingly flee, and did
much credit to the schools. Mr. H. N. Thissel,
the Superintendent, reported that the schools
were open during 4(1 Sabbaths of the past year.
There are oG scholars on the rolls, with an
average attendance the past year of 213, which
is an increase over the year 1S70. Tho receipts
of tbe school for the year were &15S-21, all of
which was expended, leaving the school free
from debt. The missionary oilerings for the
year amounted to 12S-14. Ot this sura, $100
was sent through the Sunday-school Uulou to
the California field, and the balance to Atlantic
Citv. Three members of the school were added
to the church during 1S70. The Superintendent
stated tbat tbe school requited a new library.
Last Wednesday evening the Alexander con
gregation gave an unanimous call to the Rev.
N. W. Conklin, of New York, to become their
pastor. Dr. Conklin was the successor of Rev.
Charles Wadsworth at the Arch Street Presby
terian Church, and left for New York three
years ago. It is to be hoped that he will accept
the call to tbe Alexander, as he has hosts of
friends and admirers In Philadelphia.
Sail Boats UresT. The Delaware yesterday
with its rough waters and white-capped waves
did not present a very favorable fiell for the
little yachts which each Sunday sail upon its
waters. Rather a heavy blow wa experienced,
and only the larger craft dared to venture out.
In three or four cases, however, the little boat
made the attempt with double-reefed sails, but
this precaution did not help them, as they were
quickly overturned. No live.3 were lost, as the
parlies who make a venture of this kind are
gent rally equal and prepared for such contin
gencies. St. Clement's Chi uch. We will to-morrow
publish an interesting sermon preached in St.
Clement's Church on Sunday by Rav. W. H. N.
Stewart, the assistant minister. In view of the
lis6fcuBious now disturbing the harmony of St.
Clement's, a great amount of public attcution is
attracted to the church and its all airs, and this
sermon is of (ecial importance on account of
the efforts belrnr made t J oust the rector and his
af-Utaut, and their appeal to the court for pro
tection. Tub State Fencihi.es will parade this after
noon for the first time. 1 he moa will appear In
their fatigue uniform, owlug to the dress uni

GENERAL SHERMAN.
lie Repudiates tUe Sew Orleaus Speech.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune.
Sir: On Saturday evening, April 22, 1871. the
Union League Club of New Orleans, of which.
Governor W. C. Warmotu is President, and mv
self Secretary and Treasurer, gave Geiicral VV.
T. Sherman a reception coupled with a compli
mentary dinner. About 100 uersous were pre
sent, some of whom were colored men. I was
not present at the reception given to tho Gene
ral by the American Union Club, so that I am
not able to speak ef what he may have said on
that occasion; but I made a careful report of
what he did say on the occasion of the recep
tion given by the club to which I belong, and
have my original notes now with me. General
Sherman said:
Mr. President, I am Rot nsnch or a speaker; ray
rorte is action, not speech-making. I do uol wtsa
nj remarks this rvenin U be reported la the news
pspeis, Tor I si e that what I Haiti on tne occasion of
auoiher reception extended to too since my arrival
has been entirely misrepresented, and lam credited
with words I did not stter at all. 1 therefore hope
there are no reporters here to serve this pleasant
interview as they served tne other to which I have
alluded.
My duty as the Commander or the Army of the
country keeps uie employed in military liwuurs.aud
bv this employment I may be entitled to aw.n tne
nation In its civil and political interests, but I do
not wish to be considered a politician. I strive as
well as I can to d'i what my oiticial duty crapls,
ar d In doing Hist And myteif amply employed. I do
not seek any civil position what.ever.aud do not wiali
to be suspected ol doing; so. Indued, I should posi
tively decline auv offeror a civil or political peti
tion. I wean to devote niv whole time Id the tuture
to the study or the uilltary art, not with the vinw or
destroying, but as a rjeans or promoting the goad of
ail, even the lowest clashes ot our cltlzsni.
Since the .Democfat'c papers all oyer the
country have raid so much about these New
Orleans receptions to General Sherman, and
given place in their columns to words which (so
far as the short speech at the Union League
Club is concerned) he never nttered, I have
thought it my duty to give vou the unvarnished
truth touching the affair. Respectfully,
Thomas W, Coswjr.

SynopxlHof the English Treaty.
Washington, May 8. Although the com
miesioncrs have been cautious in talking: to per
sons outside of their own circle, the following
points will be found to be correct:
First. There are to be two boards of arbitra
tion, or commissions.
To one will be referred the Alabama and other
similar claims which are recognized as national,
and to be settled on the principle of responsi
bility for such depredations, where the Govern
ment has not exercised the utmost diligence
and possible precaution to prevent privateers
from being fitted out in its ports to prey upou
the commerce of a power with whom it is at
peace.
The other board is to take cognizance of mis
cellaneous claims, British and Araarican, con
fined principally to the period from the com
mencement to the close of our late civil war.
Among these are the St. Alban's claims for
damage to property in that town by Canadians.
But no claims for the Fewian invasion of Canada
are to be admitted. As to the claims of British
subjects for seizures of their cotton, Great
Britain, through its commission, does not re
cognize them In cases where such subjects took
up their domicile ia the South, as thereby they
subjected themselves to all the risks and con
tingencies of war. All legitimate claims for
cotton will, however, be considered.
It has been reported without warrant that
they will amount to thirteen or more millions,
but this is considered to be a great exaggera
tion. They will not probably amount to a mil
lion of dollars. There will be no difficulty In ascer
taining all the particulars, as the Treasury Da
partment Las ful! data of all the seizures of cat
ton, the names of the owners thereof, and all
the particulars concerning the seizures.
This Government Is aware that a full list of
Biltibh claims was reeently published in that
country, but it also bas iaformatlon that aiany
of them have already been adjusted, while others
will aot come within the provisions of the
treaty.
Among the clains which will also come before
this board will be that of our Government grow
ing out of the purchase of saltpetre In the East
Indies during the war, and wklch was seized by
the British authorities. There are other mls
cellaLcrus claims which will come before this
second board.
Tie 9an Juan question will be referred to the
arbitration of a frlcniMy sovereign, probably the
Finperor of Brazil. Pre in the documents which
will accompany the submlssloa, it is believed
that the decision cannot fall to be iu favor of tbe
I i.lted (States.
Tbe tre ity prevldes for tae free navigation of
the St. Lawrence by vessels of the United
Slates, and for tbe use of the Canadian cauals
upon payment of regular tolls. There are also
provisions regulating the privilege to fl-sh in

from a business trip to the southern part of the
State, and denies tbat he bas called upon the
President for troops to suppress the Ku-klux in
the Second district of Missouri, as reported from
Washington.
The General states, however, that some three
weeks ago he asked authority and means to
employ forces sufficient to enable collectors to
collect revenue from Illicit distillers In the
southeastern part ot the State.
Collector Murdock has several times been op
posed by armed bands of these illicit distillers
and their employes or friends, and once or twice
has been fired upon, and General McDonald has
a ked for an increased force of deputy collec
tors, so as to cope with armed resistance to the
enforcement law, but at no time has he called
for troops, either to suppress Ku-Klux or collect
the revenue.

On Saturday a eentleuian named Mr. Ilubbell,
temporarily stopping at his wife's residence ia
Main street, Patereon, was putting on his coat
when he was startled be the report of a pistol.
Infctantly a girl employed in the house fell to
the lloor, screaming that she was shot. Mr.
Ilubbell pave the alarm that they were attacked
by burglars, and all bauds were placed as guards
upon the doors and the house searched but no
intruders could be discovered, and where the
shot came from was a mystery. Surgical aid
was Immediately summoned and the injured
girl's wounds examined. It was found tha
bullet had passed through her Bide, inflicting a
painful and ugly wound, but one that was not
LeceFtarilV fatal, and lhn rinptnrn tlilnlr ;
1S64, 111; do. 1SGB, llti'i; do. 1865. niw. 113V:
Subcequently Mr. Ilubbell bethought him of a j?"
""""" uu iy uia pucnei, ana upon exami
nation it was discovered that it contained an
empty cartridge that had been exploded, and a
hole In his coat thiough which the ball had
passed. It is supposed the coat bad struck
against something that caused its discharge.
But the most singular thing is that Mr. Ilubbell
did not keep his revolver loaded, but kept the
barrel separately in the same pocket wita loose
cartridges. It is supposed that one of the car
triges fcoroenow or other worked into the barrel,
and then exploded by some such accidental con-cust-ion
as stated.
