The New Danger Congress Gone Up

A new danger for the country, and espe-
cially Tor Congress, has been discovered by
the Chicago Tribune. So imminent is the
danger that the Tribune declares" it will
require all the virtue, all the frmness, and
all the patriotism that falls to the lot OF
any equally numerous body of men," The
new daugeris not from the President, but
from the Lobby, confession which does
not say much for the honesty and incor-
ruptibility of Congress. The'rribune adds:
The lobby of past years has been Of great
power and strengte, and that OF 1868
promises to exceed any Of its predecessors
in the magnitude and variety its schemes

HONEST CLERKs.--A Washington
correspondent shows up the morality
of certain Department Clerks thus:
CAT the last election held in this city
quite a number of gentlemen-clerks
in the departments-cl claimed and ex-
ercised the right to vote here, and now
propose to go to New York to vote
again. The names of a large number
OF such individuals have been obtained
and will be sent to the supervisors IN
New York, where it is proposed to test
the right OF exercising the elective
franchise in two places IN the same
year,"
And yet, Mr.. Greeley claims that
every virtue resideth in the Radl lea
party. The trial Of the serpent is oVel
them all. Fellows that cheat in thai
way would not scorn to steal green
backs. Perhaps these scuryy SAINTS
illustrate the patent voting machine
lately invented. ~ 5s..g.9s

Agreat deal has been said from different
occurred in the South, and the politicians have
tried TO make political capital out Of them.
We hear much more, however, about riots and
disturbances by the white people than about
negro riots and outrages. The white man is
condemned in the fercest style, the negro
treated tenderly and apologetically. Yester-
day we published an account Of barbarous
attack on and robbery of family near Beau
fort, North Carolina, by band Of negro des-
peradoes. Every few days we receive accounts
of similar or other outrages in different parts
of the South by the blacks; but no further
notice is taken of them than of the murders and
robberics daily occurring at the North. Rsny
Of these ordinary incidents of crime, which
occur everywhere, are the work OF white men,
then they are made the subject of denuncia-
ton and political agitation. The wonder is,
not that there are disturbances in the South,
but that there are SO few. Looking at the
dreadful ordeal that section of the country has
passed through at the complete disruption of
the old order of things, and at the consequent
social and political decentralization there, we
are really surprised at the general order and
general good conduct OF the people Of both
races. 1t is unjust to condemn one race more
than another for the same crimes, and espe-
cially is it unjust to make these exceptional
cases, which occur in the North as well as the
South, the ground for denouncing the whole
community

The Alabama Claims.

The cable gives us an official announcement
by Earl Derby that the Alabama claims will be
amicably adjusted; but it is silent as to his
explanation of the proposed mode of settle
ment. AS the offer to- refer the case to arbi-
tration was declined by our government, we
oan only infer that it is intended to set up the
claims of British shipowners against them and
send the whole before mixed commission.
1t will be remembered that great many cases
Of seizure by our cruisers occurred during the
war, the legality of which was disputed.
Some Of these came before our Admiralty
Court, and decisions for and against were
rendered. The English shipowners who failed
to make out their cases, refused to abide by
the judgments of the court, and now bring
forward their claims by way of set-off against
those made by our government. This is all
fair enough. If they can make out that they
have been wronged, we are just as DESTROYS
- they are that the wrong shall be remedied.
Seeing, however, the praise which the deci-
sions Of Judge Belts extorted from the
English press, it seems to us they will have but
poor chance of making out their cases. OF
course we can have no objection to such q
mode of proceeding. It begins by admitting
the justice Of our claims, which is great point
gained. For the rest we are content TO abide
by an impartial investigation Of the facts.
