THE TREATY OF WASHING TON".
An article purporting to be an authentic or
Benji-offioial description of the treaty framed
by the Joint High Commission has been
telegraphed to all the leading journals of the
country by the Associated Press, and pro
bably gives a tolerably correct bat Bouiewhst
flattering outline of that document. British
statesmen are good diplomatists, and if any
body knows how to drive a hard bargain, or,
when concessions become necessary, to
render them as insignificant and useless
as possible, it is a well-trained
Englishman. In a private trade a
cute Yankee nny outwit him, but in a publio
negotiation John Ball has rarely or never
yielded tip to Brother Jonathan anything
more than force of arms or force of circum
stanoes has compelled him to surrender. The
new compact, which is to be called the Treaty
of Washington, was framed at a time when
John Bull was disposed to be amicable, amia
ble, gracious, and to exhibit a slight sense of
justice, so far as such an essentially surly and
grasping individual can be amicable, a mi a
ble, gracious, or just, and the treaty
therefore contains some things which he will
be disposed to regard as concessions. Thm
it is said that "the British Government
frankly expresses its regret for the occurrence
of the incidents oomplained of by the United
States;" and it is, furthermore, provided that
five commissioners, one of whom is to be ap
pointed by each of tbe high contracting par
ties, and three by three designated sove
reigns of Europe, shall examine into the Ala
bama and kindred claims, "and award
damages, either in detail or in gross," on the
principle that the responsibility of Great
Britain shall be adjudged nnder special rules
of neutral duty and obligation established
by the treaty, but which are
not. admitted by the British
Government to have been in force during the
Rebellion. If this version of the treaty is
correct, the British Government has appa
rently gone as far on the point on whioh the
Amerioan people are peculiarly sensitive as
we could reasonably expeot. The ground
taken by Sumner in his speeoh against the
treaty negotiated by Reverdy Johnson and
Clarendon, viz., that we should hold Great
Britain (on account of her premature indi
rect recognition of the Confederacy), re
sponsible for a sum about equal to
the national debt, is as ridioulous,
untenable, and unjust as it ia impracticable;
and if this bunkum idea is thrown overboard
there is little cause left to complain of the
provisions of the new treaty so far as they
affect our war claims against Great Britain
"We may justly complain of the hot
caste with which Great Britain awarded
belligerent rights to the South, an weli
as of her passionate demand for Mson and
Slidell, and of the immense amount of moral
and material aid and comfort her citizens
afforded to the Rebels during the war, but
this is not a matter to be settled by dollars
and cents, nor by a treaty; and if that part of
the old score is ever to be wiped out, it inuat
be repaid in kind, when favoring ciroum
stances furnish a convenient and correspond
ing opportunity.
The wily British diplomatists, in making
provision for our legitimate demands arising
from the operations of the Confederate cruU
ers that were Buffered to escape from EnglisU
ports, did nut forget to prefer, as offsets,
sundry-bills of tLeirown countrymen which
were also run up duiii.g the late war. The
publio is at present left somewhat in the
dark in regard to the amount and character of
these claims, but an assurance is given that
they are restricted to the narrowest possible
limits. It will not do for the treaty to leave
any loopholes on a point like this. We
nboultl beco.ne a laughingstock among
iLe Cations n, after all our
clamor about tbe Alabama claims, any system
of diiiloni;.!io jugglery should bring us into
Great Britain's dc!it. Fear have been ex
pressed from ti.uu to time that we would be
beld reHpo?)siljJ. for the Confederate loan
negotiated iu LduUuJ. If the treaty con
templates or permlta auy buch truckling, It
had better be burutd up at ouoe, and woe to
tbe benator who supports it.
On the fishery question and questions aon-
nectea witn me navigation of the St. Law
rence, etc., a fair and liberal arrangement
seems to kave been made ia the treaty the en
tanglementa of reciprocity being avoided
and the worst feature of this part of the ne
gotiations ia tbe provision that they must be
ratified by the Parliament of Canada and the
Legiulaturo of Prince Edward's Island before'
they become binding. This se6nis to ua a
trick on the part of the British Commis
sioners and a mistake on the part of the
Commissioners from this country. Ratifica
tions by the United States Senate aud the
British Parliament are essential, but we might
as well require the consent of Oregon and
Washington Territory to the provision of the
treaty relating to the northwestern boundary
line as permit Great BiiUin to compel u to
await the tardy and factisua action of a
co'onial parliament and the legislature of a
petty island.
LET U8 HATE rEA.CE.
Om usually amiable contemporary the Bul
letin completely lost Its amiability yesterday,
and made a melancholy exhibition of bad
temper, which, considering the reoent suo-
cess of the anti-Penn Square ring In the
Senate, was as unexpected as it was grief-
inspiring. It always saddens us when the
Bulletin gets into one of its wild moods, but
if its bottled-np wrath must be vented, we are
pleased, rather than otherwise, if Thi Tele
graph ia made the objeot of it, for we
know in that case that no harsh words calcu
lated to disturb the serenity of the Bulletin'$
sanctum will be used, and that with judicious
treatment the patient may be expected nlti
mately to recover. It is otherwise in the
case of some of our respected contemporary's
frantio attacks, and we can remember an in
stance when one of our judges was compelled
to pronounce from the bench the opinion that
the Bulletin was a "habitual liar." This
bas been a matter for regret with
us ever since, tor it is not judicious
to tpeak the truth on all occasions,
and we would have dealt more gently with
our contemporary than Judge Stroud felt
impelled to do. The cause of the Bulletin s
wrath yesterday was doubtless our statement
that its opposition to the Building Commis
sion was rather remarkable, in consideration
of the fact that it endorsed the much more
obnoxious commission schemes started at
Harrisburg last winter. Facts are facts, how
ever, and the Bulletin would exhibit itself to
more advantage by making an explanation of
its conduct than by flying into a
passion and using abusive language against
TnE Tfxegbath. The ire of the Bulletin
was also aroused by a previous statement in
these columns to the effect that a number of
the gentlemen who went to Harrisburg to
protest against the irresponsible Building
Commission were themselves members of
irresponsible commissions created in the
same manner that it was by the Legislature.
It is really not our fault if these
things are true, nor are we responsible
for the fact for it is a fact that members of
the Senate were paid in good money of the
United States to vote for the abolition of the
Building Commission. It is well known that
all the property-holders in the neighborhood
of Sixth and Chesnut streets were assessed to
pay the expenses of the campaign against the
Building Commission. Doubtless the Bulle
tin will deny this fact, as it has many
others; but the public, bearing in mind
Judge Stroud's decision, will know exaotly
how much credence to put in the denial.
Now we are anxious to know what has been
done with this money, for money bas been
contributed liberally for the good and suffi
cient reason that it is worth while for the
property-holders in the vicinity of Indepen
dence and Washington Squares to pay hand
somely to retain a permanent monopoly of
their business of letting offices at exorbitant
rates. We commend these items to the candid
consideration of the Bulletin, and in doing
so
we bbk it to Keep cool, ana not
to strike out so wildly as it did yester
day. The credit of journalism is at stake
when such an exhibition of bad tem
per as that of the Bulletin's yesterday is made,
and we ask in the kindest spirit possible that
we may not have occasion to reply to the like
again. .Let us nave peace.
