THE AL). M“ CLAIMS.

It was announced on authority that the new treaty
between England and America respecting the Alabama
claims was signed by Lord Clarendon and Mr. Reverdy
Johnson on Thursday. On Friday it was sent by
President Johnson to the Senate. This is quick
work, and may perhaps alarm those who are of
opinion that the negotiations would profit by delay
until General Grant came into office. But there is, so
far, no ground for apprehension as to the consent of the
Senate. The Telegraph says the changes in the treaty
were suggested by Mr. Seward for the express purpose of
securing such a settlement as the Senate would sanction,
and that this desire was frankly met by the English
Cabinet. The difficulty of getting the Legislature to con-
firm the act of an unpopular President has been reduced
to a minimum.

TIIE IRISH CHURCH.

The Dublin Freeman says : " It has been rumoured
that the Irish State bishops are unable to agree to
any plan of joint action for the approaching
ecclesiastical campaign. Some of these are for
accepting the inevitable, and for assisting Mr. Glad-
stone to make disestablishment and disen.dowment as
profitable as possible to the future disestablished and
disendowed Church in Ireland. Others are for war to
the knife. These latter will have no compromise, and
will make no preparations for the future." Meanwhile
the Irish "Church Defence Association" is beginning
to arouse itself into activity, though it may fairly be
questioned how far such speeches as that by the
Bishop of Cork made last week will redound to the
advantage of the Church.

THE HOME SECRETARY ON CRIME.

Mr. Bruce, the Home Secretary, in the prosecution of his
stumping tour, addressed a public meeting at Glasgow, on Fri-
day. He spoke oa the subjects of education, 'retrenchment, &c.,
reiterating for the most part his previous speeches. Speaking
Df the duties of his own department as Homo Secretary, Mr.
Bruce referred to the great amount of crime that existed in the
country. Ho would gladly leave his mark upon his time by
taking steps for preventing the sp:cad of crimp by cutting
off the supply, which was by far the best means of preven-
tion, and also by devising a good system of punishment
which should have some effect as a deterrent, although of
that he was far less hopeful than of the results of moral im-
provement. With reference to the treatment of the crimi-
nal classes, and the diminution of the supply of the criminal
:lasses, the right hon. gentleman remarked that, much as
had been done, we were yet only at the beginning of the
subject. Many thoughtful minds were being applied to its
consideration, a vast amount of useful information had been
zollected, and it would be his duty as having special charge
of that department to see how he could best give effect to
the wisdom and experience of those who had made them-
selves masters of the subject. Mr. Bruce went on to say
that he felt that in tho execution of tho duties of his
Dina) he had decisions to give daily which ran counter to
the opinions and:prejudices of many. Already be had
been assailed for one of his decisions—a decision which he
would venture to say, if submitted to any hundred fair and
just men, would be approved by ninety-nine of them; but
ho had been stigmatised as a weak and incapable Minister
for that decision. It was impossible for a Minister to de-
fend himself through the columns of the press which directed
an attack against him, and he had to ask the electors of
lienfrewshire if it should be their good will to send him to
Parliament to suspend their judgment in such cases till he
had had an opportunity of defence, and till they had had
the means of judging of his conduct as a whole. At the
conclusion of the address, a motion declaring Mr. Bruce to
be a fit and proper person to represent Renfrewshire in Par-
liament was carried by acclamation.

THE STATES OF TRADES ITNIO:,fS.

The magistrates of Bradford have a great desire
that trade should not be " restrained ;" and our
legislators seem to have had the same kind of wish,
or, at least, the law on the subject is not very clear.
When, therefore, a carpenters' trade union prose-
cuted a secretary for embezzlement, the aforesaid
magistrates at Bradford would have nothing to do
with the matter because the union was " in restraint
of trade." An appeal has just been heard in the
Queen's Bench on the matter, and judgment
reserved. It is surely time that this question were
settled. Most people seem to have thought that the
Act of the Recorder of London met the case.
Nous verrans.

CRIMP. AND CRIMINALS.

Mr. Baker refers to the disputed question as to
whether a misdemeanour after a conviction for
felony can be punished by a sentence of seven years'
penal servitude, and declares that the law should be
altered if it is not clear on this point. If a law be
contrary to common sense and to the repression of
crime, the more the matter comes before the public
the better, because the law should not be preserved
if it fails to repress crime. By present arrangement
a man on his first offence can have five years' penal
servitude, and the man committed for the tenth time
can have only two years' imprisonment.

AMERICA.

A very hopeful movement has begun in Virginia. Many
of the leading men of the State, senators, representatives,
governors, acting governors, and others—men of decidedly
Conservative politics—have joined with many more in
declaring that they will accept in good faith the principle
of negro suffrage if Congress will grant universal amnesty.
The New York Nation believes that the Legislature will
be disposed to encourage this movement, which is directly
attributable to the result of the late election, and to Vir-
ginia's respect for General Grant.
Murder& and outrages of every kind still continue in
some of the Southern States. In Louisiana, a mob has
burned the office of a Republican journal, and in another
part of the same State two negroes have been murdered.
Arkansas is overrun with a robber band. In August,
September, and October last, twenty leading Republicans
were killed or wounded by assassins, and about two
hundred coloured Republicans were murdered, to say
nothing of the wounded and whipped. On the whole,
however, the news from the South is considered " not so
bad."

An estimate of the increase of the national wealth of
America during the last five years, as exhibited in cotton and
iron manufactories, railroads, telegraphs, sheep and other
agricultural products, and in the consumption of certain
foreign commodities, considers it greater than during any
similar period in the national existence. During the same
space of time, one million emigrants, bringing with them
eighty million dollars, landed in the United States. On
the other hand, many of the more important branches of
industry, in which before the war American labour and
capital were able to defy competition, are now totally unable
to make head against foreign produce. This melancholy
state of things is ascribed to unequal and heavy taxation,
an irredeemable paper currency, and a limited supply of
skilled labour. The Times correspondent thinks the
prospects of the United States for 1869 are decidedly good,
and that this result is not a little due to General Grant's
popularity. The belief that his rule will b.! honest, peace-
ful, and judicious, is shared by all parties.
London, England, 1869-01-19

ELECTORAL INTIMIDATION.

In the case of " The Queen, v. Harrop, Luaiow, and
another," which came before the Queen's Bench on Monday,
a rule had been obtained calling up Mr. Harrop and two
justices of Wilts to shew cause why they should not hear
and determine a complaint preferred by a weaver named
Millard against Mr. Harrop, a manufacturer of West-
bury, for intimidation previous to the last general
election. The charge against Mr. Harrop was that in
consequence of Millard having promised to vote for Mr.
Laverton, a rival manufacturer, and the Liberal candi-
date for the borough, the former refused to give him
any further work, and desired him to return what he had.
The defendant denied that he had acted in the manner
stated by the voter. The evidence before the justices
was very conflicting. The proceedings were taken on the
eve of the election, and, according to the complainant's
case, supported by the shorthand notes of a reporter. The
justices said it was not the intention of the Legis-
lature that these cases should be preferred before a
bench of magistrates, but that the parties should go to
the assizes or the Court of Queen's Bench. The magistrates
refused to say whether they dismissed the case upon
the law or the facts. The answer of the magistrates
was, that they stated in court that they thought
the evidence conflicting and insufficient to support the
charge, and that they dismissed the summons upon the
merits. Sir John Karslake, Mr. T. W. Saunders, and Mr.
Lopes showed cause against the rule; Mr. Milward, Q.C.,
and Mr. Davin appeared in support of it. The court
discharged the rule without costs.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

NORWICII. - Mr. Baron Martin has decided that Sir
Henry Stracey was not duly elected. He considered that
Sir Henry had not been guilty of personal bribery, but
that bribery by agency had been proved against him.

GUILDFORD.—Guildford is excited at the trial of the
petition against the return of Mr. Onslow, who was re-
turned at the last election in the Liberal interest. The
Liberal party are full of hope in consequence of the break-
ing down of the Windsor petition, and confidently assert
that the inquiry at Guildford will occupy less time than
it did at Windsor.

DROGHEDA.—The proceedings in the Drogheda election
petition closed on Monday, and Justice Keogh reserved
judgment. Mr. Whitworth denied that he was connected
with those who committed acts of violence, or with the
violent addresses of the priests. Some Roman Catholic
clergymen were examined, and acknowledged that the
speeches attributed to them were correct. They declared
that their influence over the people had been confined to
acts of repression, and that they had maintained order.
The Carlow and Athlone petitions are withdrawn.

MISCEL CANED US NEWS.

THE NEW LORD-LIT UT NANT (F IRELAND.

Earl Spencer's entry into Dublin does not seem to
save been a complete " success." Indeed, after the
Shen Marquis of Abercorn's triumphant delut, the
present was a tame affair. The weather was mizzly.
Much of the grandeur of the original proces-
sion was taken away by the addition to
it of " the Corporation," which would—the
Ulster King-at-Arms notwithstanding—take part
in the proceedings. The correspondent of the
Standard makes capital out of the want of enthusiasm
which was so marked a feature in former receptions.
The Star enters a protest against any procession at
all. Our contemporary half suggests that the Lord-
Lieutenant should go in by the back door of his
office in a quiet way, take off his comforter, and say
he is ready to begin.

" CONSTITUTIONALISM IN MANCHESTER."

At Cheetham, a district of Manchester, a Constitu-
tional Association is in existence, and at the annual
meeting held on Saturday night, great satisfaction
was expressed at the result of the elections in
Lancashire. Mr. Bfirdsley, the clergyman, and Mr.
Birley, M.P., were the chief speakers, and there was
the usual talk about i‘ our Protestant institutions
in Church and State," which has been
common any time this hundred years, and
has always been forthcoming when any act of justice,
such as the emancipation of Roman Catholics, the
relief of Dissenters from the Test and Corporation
Act, the enfranchisement of the middle and then of
the working classes, had to be accomplished. Mr.
Birley, who according to all reports is politically
moribund, was particularly emphatic in his satisfac-
tion at the condition of the Constitutional party.
The Conservatives are certainly patterns of cheerful-
ness under adversity.

THE IRISH CHURCH.

The Dublin Freeman says : " It has been rumoured
that the Irish State bishops are unable to agree to
any plan of joint action for the approaching
ecclesiastical campaign. Some of these are for
accepting the inevitable, and for assisting Mr. Glad-
stone to make disestablishment and disennowment as
profitable as possible to the future disestablished and
disendowed Church in Ireland. Others arc for war to
the knife. These latter will have no compromise, and
will make no preparations for the future." Meanwhile
the Irish "Church Defence Association" is beginning
to arouse itself into activity, though it may fairly be
questioned how far such speeches as that by the
Bishop of Cork made last week will redound to the
advantage of the Ch arch.

TUE RITUAL JUDGMENT.

The decision of the Ritualists at their late meeting,
to leave individual priests to obey the judgment of
the Privy Council when and how they thought best,
led to a good deal of variety in the services at the
" advanced " churches. At St. Mary Magdalene's,
Paddington, the altar candles were lighted as usual,
and will continue to be lighted until formal notice of
the decision has been served ; at St. Andrew's, Wells-
street, they were not lighted. We believe they have
not been hitherto, for at this church the music, which
is the best of its kind in London—most elaborate,
most uncongregational—is the chief attraction. At
All Saints', Lambeth, Dr. Lee, after entering the
pulpit and making the sign of the cross, read a pro-
test against the recent judgment, and said that
" having in mind the provisions of Magna Charta,
and the terms of my ordination, I do solemnly pro-
test against the said judgment, and against the impo-
sition of pains and penalties in matters of Church
discipline by the said Privy Council." At this church
altar lights were used. At St. Paul's, Walworth,
there were eight lights, but not lighted, and there
was no incense nor processional cross, nor were there
genuflexions until after the consecration. It is stated
in a leading article of the Standard that " Mr. Mac-
konochie has honourably complied with the terms of
the j udgment"—implying, we presume, that the altar
candles were not lighted, although the day was so
dark that they might have been used for the purpose
of giving light.

SPAIN.

It has now come to the turn of the PHI C 3 Amadeus,
Duke of Aosta, to rank in pubic estimation as the candi-
date for the throne who will be supported by the
Provisional Government. The Independancc Beige believes
this prince to be the real Simon Pure, and the Epoca of
Madrid gives very precise details of the "arrangement."
It says that if the duke be made King of Spain, and it
happen that by the death of his elder brother without
children the crown of Italy should also fall to him, he will
be required to give up one or the other, the decision
to rest with the Great Powers. The kingdom which he
resigns will then be allotted to his sister, the Princess
Clotilde, wife of Prince Napoleon. This story has the
support of the Gaulois, which, at the beginning of the
revolution, enjoyed the confidence of General Prim. But
it is hardly necessary to point out how complex and how
fruitful of future contest such an arrangement must be. It
is palpably unfavourable to Prussia, as affording no small
chance of a considerable monarchy falling to Prince Napo-
leon. And should the French Emperor's cousin become
heir to the throne of France, the difficulty will be grave
indeed.

The correspondent of the Constitutionnel greatly doubts
whether the elections for the Cortes will awaken the
energy and interest which were so markedly deficient at
the municipal struggles. With the exception of the
Republicans, who are as united as ever, and shew only
one list of candidates, the mass of electors display the
most complete indifference. Nevertheless, it is quite an open
question how far the unanimity of the Republicans
can counterbalance their inferiority of numbers. The
writer deems it certain that none of the numerous parties
and sections will number a clear majority in its own ranks.
The distinctions, jealousies, and diverse shades of opinion
are so endless, that the work of choosing a candidate must
be all but impossible. It is, therefore, likely that after
the Assembly has squabbled for some time in vain, the
work will be delegated to other hands. Most of the candi
dates for the Cortes are " men of straw."

THE 41)rICTIONS.

The news as to the contemplated reduction re vary game.
Ministers, if they have of late been discussing the matter,
have managed to keep their own counsel. The Broad
Arrow announcos that the 'principal feature in the reorga-
aisation of the cavalry determined upon by Mr. Cardwell,
will be the substitution of the squadron as the unit in place
of the troop. This arrangement will permit of the re-
luction of ono major and four cornets in each of the
.tavalry regiments. Our contemporary also states that
the post of accountant of the army clothing department,
st Pimlico, a post /worth 4300 per annum, has become
vacant under painful circumstances; and that the arrange-
ments as to the clothing at the 'War-office will rem sin as
:hey are, rumours to the contrary notwithstanding. The
;am° paper confirms the announcement of the suppression
of the depot batatlions. Gosport and Tiralmer are to go; but
Pembroke is reprieved, and another town in the north of
England, very inconveniently situated for the embarkation
of reliefs, is to take its place. The post of Inspector of
cavalry is, it is said, to be abolished.

POOR-LAW RELIEF IN GERMANY.

A correspondent of the Times puts before the
public some facts relatimilo the administration of
the poor law in Elberfeld- which is so excellent
that it has been imitatea in other parts of Germany.
The efficiency of the plan is proved by the reduc-
tion of half the expense. of maintaining the poor,
while the really deserving are more effectually
relieved. The system was inaugurated by
Herr von der Heydt, brother of the Prussian
Minister of Finance. • lie met at first with great
opposition, but the experience of fifteen years has
confirmed the merits of his scheme. Elberfeld is
divided into eighteen districts, and these again into
fourteen quarters. All persons seeking relief must
apply to the " father " of the district in which they
reside. A strict investigation is made into the
merits of the claimants, and any doubtful point is
referred to the district meeting, which takes place
every fortnight. The minutes of the pro-
ceedings are sent up to the Poor-law Board,
and any irregular proceedings are " quashed"
by the central board. Among the general prin-
ciples laid down for the relief of the poor, it is
decided that outdoor relief should be adopted in order
to preserve the family tie, and that no relief be
granted for more than a period of fourteen days.
The chief point which is insisted npon.is, that strict
supervision be maintained, and for this purpose each
"father " is expected to have only four " cases " under
his care.

REMARKS.

Scarcely any change has occurred in the distribution of barometri-
cal pressure since yesterday. In the north readings are recovering
from the slight depression of yesterday afternoon, and pressure
generally has increased a little. The lowest reading is at Nairn, and
is (r3Oin. lower than that at Yarmouth. Temperature has increased
generally. In the north the change has been great: however, ovar
France a decrease is shewn. The winds are light. Over these
islands they are from S.W. to S., and easterly on the west coast of
Franco. The sky continues overcast, and weather very misty. Sem,
rain has fallen in the N. and W. The sea is calm.

The Liverpool Courier states that information hae
been received of the crew of the ship Southern Empire, from
New Orleans, which had been spoken in a sicking state, and

is cress- fillXit,LlS to leave lien

The Nottingham Express understaLds that the
return of Colonel Wilmot, the C9uservative member fox

South Derbyshire, is to be pet:tioned against, and if what
our contemporary has heard be true, the el..ct:on must be
declared void after a little scrutiny.

The Echo has the following :—" We informed the
public, on the Nth ult., that they must expect the increase
of the income-tax to be continued, and we are now able to slats
that Mr. Lowe intends to propose the continuance of the extra
2d. We ma 3 also mention the possibilty that the purchase
of the telegraphs will be deferred until the Exchequer is in
a better condition.

At a Conservative dinner given at Tockington, is
Gloucester, the other evening, the chairman, in proposing
"Success to the Conservative cause," confessed that the
Conservatives must always be beaten in the long run, and
,mid loud cries of "No, no," he reiterated his opinion, and
icclared that Conservatism was the drag on the politics;

THE TURF.

Sporting men are in good spirits. They believe that
the Derby difficulty will soon be a thing of the past.
But ➢lr. Studd will virtually be the winner, for it is
said that he will succeed in making £15,000 out of
his half-mile of racecourse, which is more than most
studs make for their owners. Lord Hawke
will probably have Earl Fitzwilliam as his successor
in the Badsworth county. The much-talked-
of action brought by John Day against
Admiral Rous has been settled, and each party
draws its own stakes. This measure has been adopted
by the advice of Lord Westmoreland and General
Peel. Both parties are said to feel "much happier,"
but the public has lost some very edifying disclosures
"most disastrous to the prosperity of the Turf," as
one of the " prophets " says ; and therefore highly
conducive to the public good, say we.—Lord Spencer,
having become Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, has had
his carriage horses and hunters sold at Tattersall's.

ELECTORAL INTIMIDATION.

In the case of " The Queen, v. Harrop, Lucuow, and
another," which came before the Queen's Bench on Monday,
a rile had been obtained calling up Mr. Harrop and two
justices of Wilts to shew cause why they should not hear
and determine a complaint preferred by a weaver named
Millard against Mr. Harrop, a manufacturer of West-
bury, for intimidation previous to the last general
election. The charge against Mr. Harrop was that in
consequence of Millard having promised to vote for Mr.
Laverton, a rival manufacturer, and the Liberal candi-
date for the borough, the former refused to give him
any further work, and desired him to return what he had.
The defendant denied that he had acted in the manner
stated by the voter. The evidence before the justices
was very conflicting. The proceedings were taken on the
eve of the election, and, according to the complainant's
case, supported by the shorthand notes of a reporter. The
justices said it was not the intention of the Legis-
lature that these cases should be preferred before a
bench of magistrates, but that the parties should go to
the assizes or the Court of Queen's Bench. The magistrates
refused to say whether they dismissed the case upon
the law or the facts. The answer of the magistrates
was, that they stated in court that they thought
the evidence conflicting and insufficient to support the
charge, and that they dismissed the summons upon the
merits. Sir John Karslake, Mr. T. W. Saunders, and Mr.
Lopes showed cause against the rule; Mr. Milward,
and Mr. Davin appeared in support of it. The court
discharged the rule without costs.
