It seems too evident that his ,promsed reformation after his late severe sickness has already gone the way of most sick-bed reformations. The very night of his iti:tival, after ( riding' seventeen consecutive hours, , he rushed ito see_ it play with 'nothing to i r-ee(iiiirrierul it ex cept that. it was an indecent piece even for the indecent theater of a most indecent city. The whole visit was of a piece with this be ginning; so-that nt 141E4, 'iteit bi lytherßritish residents, but Frenchmen as well,, were scandalized by the Princely pleasures. All this would not be worth mentioning' if this j'icious young man , was not _the heir Appa rent to the British throne. Republicanitm has already taken root in England, and these scandals of the Monarchy can but promote the growth of liberal ideas. , The Triblnal of Arbitrators appointed under the Trbaty of Washington met on the 15th instant at Geneva, Switzerland. Nu merous reporters- for the press were in at tendance, but none of them were ,admitted 'to the deliberations of the' Board, so' that the news sent us is Mainly 'surmises. We give them for what they are worth. It' is reported that the representatives of our Gov ernh, ent presented their, priiited arguments in sl•iu,:ut ;f . our case; that . England asked for an ::(:jourriment without submitting s any argument on her part, and that our side did not consent to the adjournment nor oppose it. Finally, on the afternoon of- the 19th, the Board adjourned until to-day. it is ru mored since the adjournment that the Art& • ; ttit'ors li nve nfreadiednsiderciltheVegtion of indirect damtiges, and decided to exclude them. This report is partially confirmed liy § dispatch from Washington; but it im possible to tell how much truth there is in it. If it proves authentic, England Will have no further excuse for delaying the set tlement of the other claims. The Yankees arc reckoned a pretty sharp set, but 'WO don't believe any of them can accomplish more in .twenty-four hours than Judge Stallo of Ohio did last Friday.

To speak ea .- lonely, how eVer, it must be admitted that the new ticket is a good one—much superior; personally, to that put up by Cincinnati,—that lhe plat form is plain and flat-footed, and tells just exactly what the free-trade party want and intend to do if they ever achieve power.:— Mr.,Groesbeck has been frequently proposed in influential quarters as a Democratic can didate for President, and it is tiot beyond the range of posiibilities in This day of po litical surprises to find him finally supported by a considerable section of that party who find it impossible to swallow their old ene-. \nty ail present , terror, Horace Greeley. 7-- 'PT new ticket will not lick for an! efficient organ tife:eClitor of the New York .E'ven,irg Pug 11.9 fig participated in the Convention and hearli indorsed it.: 1Vell,•lho • more he merrie s t..

The conference, which w held hist Ttprsday, was called by earl Schirk WM. C.

That rulb is one which lies at the very foundations of our civiiizatiOn, and whoever deliberately violates it, does that in bbn liestoiverdniferutufiletrin..4i foundations..

What is needed is not better lam., nor better judges, but better citizens. When it comes to the point Where grand jurors will deliberately, day after day, break tlt. oaths still fresh.-upon their lips,to screen front punishment men whose violations of the law tre as notorious and as well proven as any crime ever• wile; when it comes to pass that the shrewdest business tu►en prefer to trust any jteit cause to the decision of one fair, unbiased judge rather than submit it to the'unknown - caprices and prejudices of an ordinary petit jury—quid tlie.Sti;,things have already happened—then it is",evident the fault lies back of the law and deeper than the statute book. We bear much talk in tbese,deiya about " reforms," political and otherwise; but in our view the reformation that is raosilheed ed.is a popular moral one. When that is secured the Others will not lag far behind. People must be made to feel that nothing is so mean and so dangerous as a lie, spoken or acted. ,Every man must be taught some.- thing of the duties of a citizen. He must learn that unwavering obedience to the laiw of the land is the first of those duties. 1•Ii; must be made to see that every unpunishet violation of that law harms. not only ....1. ty at large, but his own highest interests.— And he must be brought to look with inti nite abhorrence upon every exhibition of the mob spirit, under whatever provocation, as the spirit not of justice but of unreason in vengeance and anarchy. It would certainly be mortifying to every considerate 4merican, if he could be con vinced that Charles Suinner had descended from the bight of honor and purity as, a statesman, to which lie has risen in the past twenty years,of 'pais Senatorial life, to be a mere football for the 6riemies of freedom in these his ripest years. His last Senatorial effort is capable of no other eXplanation than this, viz: his personal malignity toward President Grant; but, if we itre to put confi dence in the statement' oi wlleta,'": a very talented and generally accurate Democratic Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, we shall be brought to this conclusion.- In this morning's paper he says:: "kr: SuMner IS in - Washington, and will continue to reniain here until July. He is almost daily called on by colored people from the South anxious to know what side 'be=intends to take in the Presidential cam paign. -Mr. Sumner assures them that he will in no event support Grant, but lie does not goo so far , as to say that he will favor Greeley and ,Brown. He,thinks the civil' rights plank of 'the PhiladblPhia Platform a piece of jugglery,.and hopes the Baltimore Convention will take bolder ground. He is evidently doubtful in his ownrnind over the position he ought to take, from the pressure brought on him by . his colored friends; but yesterdayhe - Was infornied that their ,cletii• onstrations on him were instigated by the Administration, with a view of keeping hint quiet." So fat as:this is an linplied_admission that the colored - people aro a>.unit, in favor of 'Grant, and that they constantly call ri on bit $ ad M i ing a pressnre to bear on hbn n : favor of`ls advocacy of Grant and Wilson, it 1. cheerbkg news, and is really the best ,pvi• (knee of4ta own Until, being the admission against of a witn6 against hia interest. But when the author as its that Mr . Sumner was yes terday informer hat Micolored friends arc instigated by the A ministration with a view of keeping hint Buie , and that he assures, them that be will in-no ventsupport Grant, it puts him . in the.,very . 4,1ful position of being used by his enemies, 'ate implies on his part the utmost puerility nkpolitics.-i-- \ His alleged view of .the civil right lank of the Philadelphia platform cannot b true, or he has spread himself on this sped ity for years past to very little purpose. Tru - he is only partially responsible for the use his enemies make pf - him, but the course he has latterly pursued of standing back front the men and,the party who sympathize in the - main with him, and thus inviting . his life-long enemies to widen the breach be tween him and his most cherished princi- - pica, cannot fail to lirringupo him the ant: madversiOnS of those'wlko in'the past have loved him best and venerated him most: ... A grand demonstratiDn in favor of Grant and Wilson will come - off here on Thursday next, at which it is expected there n ill be a magnificent turnout of Republicans. A large proportion of the residents of the cluy and District who have •not hitherto taken any interest in politics are now giving the Administration their warm iiMpl.irt. As the improvements of the.city go. forward, and life and progress are.difihsed by the territo rial government in the , District,_ the true in terest of the citizen is to support those who more than all . .others have brOught abot o it general.prosperity' in the neighborhood of the capital. • EINEM OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Thomas Settle and others: Gentle men—Your note oft the 10th instant convey ing to me the action of the Convention in placing my name in nomination for the of fice of Vice President of the United States, is before me. II need not give you the assu rance of my grateful appreciation of the high honor conferred upon me by this ac tion of the fifth National Convention of the . Republican party. I . Sixteen years ago, in the same city, was held the first meeting of the men who, amid the darkness and 'doubts of that hour of slaveholding ascendency and aggression, had assembledin national convention to con fer with each otherupon the exigencies into which that fearful omination had brought ii -4,54- ~ ...uulry. A c tor sun I-uorerence, ins highest point of resolve they could reach, the most they dared to recommend, was the avowed purpose toprohibit the existence of slavery in the Territories. Last week the same party met by its representatives from thirty-seven - State and, ten Territories, ,at the same great' center of wealth, intelligence and power, to review the past, take note of the present, and indicate ita line of action for the future. I As typical facts, headlands of the nation's recent history, there sat on its platform, ta king prompt and honorable part in its pro .ceedings,admitted On terms of perfect equal ity to the leading hotels of the city, not only the colored representatives of the race which were, ten years before, in abject slavery, but one of the oldest and most prominent of the once despised abet tionists, to whom was ac corded, as to no other, the warmest demon strations of .pOpular regard and esteem—an ovation, not to him alone,- but to the cause he had so ably anfor so many years repre sented, and to the men and women, living and dead, who had toiled through long years of obloquy and self-sacrifice for the glorious fruitions of that hour. It hardly needed the brilliant,summary of its platform to set forth its illustrious achievements. The very presence of those men was alone significant of the victories already achieved, the pro gress-already made, and the great distance which the nation had traveled between the years 1856 and 1872: - But grand as has been its record, the Re publican party rests not on its past alone. It looks to the future, and grapples with its problems of duty and of danger. It propO fpa as objects of its immediate accomplish ment, "complete liberty and exact equali ty" for all; there nforcement of " the recent amendments to the National Constitution ;" reform in the " cilril service;" the " nation al domain to be set apart for homes to the people;" the adju i Ament of duties -en im porta so as to Bemire •" remunerative wages to labor;", the extension of bounty to all sol diers and sailors 'l who in the line of duty became disabled ;" the continual andcareful i encouragement an protection of voluntary immigration, and ,he guarding "with jeal ous care the rights of adopted citizens;" the abolition,of • the franking privilege, and the ',' speedy reduction of the rates of postage ;" the reduction of the national debt and the rates of interest, and " the resumption of I specie payments;' „the encouragement of American commerce and of ship-building; the suppression of violence, and ' the pro tection of the ba of box." It also placed on record the opinions and purposes of the party in favor of amnesty, against all forms of repudiation, and indorsed the humane and 'peaceful policy of the •Administratitm in, regard to' the Indians. • , But while clearly definingg and striotly an nouncing the policy of the Republiofin party on these question's of practical 36gislation and administration, the Convention did not ignore the great social problems which are pressing their elainis for solutio and - Which demand the most) careful • stud and wise Contiideration:` FOremost" stands the labor .question.
