Tho Tribune publishes pub-lishes a curious story legardnig the sudden death of Got sihak. thu celebrated cele-brated pianist. While making arrangements arrange-ments lor a concert near Kio Jaueno, lie incurred the displeasure of the college col-lege boys of that place.

The Trtnty Willi Ilrllaln. New York, 2. A Washington special spe-cial says that notwithstanding the secrecy se-crecy which the members of the Joint High Commission have pioIi'- tl in regard to tho points of the treaty thej have negotiated, there is no dount that it provides for a recognition of the claims of'Engli.shmen for damages dur ing our civil war, that a money compensation com-pensation wiil be given for the use of the Canadian fishing grounds in short, that the navigation of the St. Lawrence is to be free to our vessels, ves-sels, and the navigation of the Canadian Cana-dian canals, bound only to the pay ment of tolls. The Sau Juan boundary bound-ary question is not yet fully settled, but we shall probably get all we can in that direction. Close reticence is maintained by Eurl de Grey and the English members, whiih is not so strictly imitated by our own side. They venture to say that the country will be satisfied with the woik, but they cannot can-not go into details. A correspondent assures us, however, that in the prominent prom-inent points of the new treaty, our demands de-mands for iudeninity for the depredations depreda-tions of the Alabama are conceded. Englishmen in this country who suffered suf-fered by our civil war are to be indemnified indem-nified and our fishermeu are to have the privilege of inshore fisheries on payment of a certain sum as compensation compen-sation therefor by the United States. It should be remembered, however, that the damages to Englishmen are estimated at some 42u,UO0,OU0 more than our estimation of damages by the Alabama. Action of tlie Chicago Grand Jury Criticized. Chicago, 2. The action of the grand jury yesterday, in discharging from custody P. A. L"onard, who was in prison for killing Dr. S. E. Scanland, nis brother-in-law, some weeks ago, has created considerable excitement in the city, although public sympathy and the tone of the press were with the accused, yet this extraordinary action of a grand jury has taken everybody by surprise, and has provoked severe comments from the press. The Times says, it is not thej cus:omary practice cf grand juries to try the question of guilt or innocence inno-cence of a party accused of crime. That is commonly the work of the court and petit: jury. But it seems that on yesterday our Cook county grand jury did try the case of young Leonard, accused of the murder of Br. Scanland, and acquitted him. The proceedings will strike the public asi extraordinary. It may have been de-1 sirable as affecting some living persons, but as affecting the administration of justice it is simply a public scandal. There are, perhaps, as many people who think the homicide not justifiable as there are those who think otherwise, and there cannot be many high minded people who think the case should have been dismissed by a grand jury. The Tribune says, it was generally conceded that Lsonaru' had a very strong eae to go before a petit jury with, and very few of those conversant with the affair would have expressed belief in his ultimate conviction; but this summary disposal of the case will uot fail to elicit reflection, more or less serious, upon the modes of justioe and of law in Chicago, - The Republican says tho discretion of the grand jury is somewhat large, we admit, but it is not unlimited. Grand juries are guardians of interests, not the proprietors, of security. They have not the power to pardon nor to absolve. In this case the grand jury has usurped the functions of the court and petit jurors, without the power which they possess, to make ofitafinal disposition. Leonard is pot ncquiued; he is not free from the danger of a further prosecution. Such an escape does not release from suspicion; on the contrary it invites suspicion suspicion that the party was affr iid of pub ic trial, and that tiie grand jury had been wrought upon, ehher through its interests or its social simpathies, or by men of exterior illegitimate influences. Military Change. Washington, 2. General Crook has, by special order of the President, been assigned to the command of the department de-partment of Arizona in place of Gen. Stoncjtan.
