Every now and then the Alabama claims
seem TO rise from the tomb Of the Capulcts III
which orr mucll-occupied Secretary OF State
for safety's sake has deposited them, and
friglten weak minded politicians and the
money markets of both worlds with the pros
meet of war between England aud the United
States. The scare generally passes over IN a
short time, for the majority of people cannot
nersuade themselves 10 believe that, now
ever great the wrongs suffered by the citizens
of the United States from the dopredations
of the Alabama may have been, they could
now. after the calming interval of several
years, be made the cause or prcted OF war.
But there remains some uneasincss in the pub
lie mind, considerable irritation in the dlplo-
matte correspondence, and the danger OF new
combinations, when wars like the Abys>lnian,
however insignificant in themselves, open up q
prospcct of heavy rctaliatiOns on the Engilsh
shipping. There is naturally a general sur
prise at the extraordinary slowness with
which these Alabama negotiations have
been conducted. The Alabama claims are
foreign question of the first magnitude, IN
volying not only many millions of American
capital, hut n grave international question,
whose satisfactory solution may avert M im-
mense amount of misery in the future. II
they had received from the beginning the I'M
divided attention of our Government, some
thing more would probably have been achieved
than the mere exchange of diplomatic notes. But
the Alabama claims seem TO have been lost
sight of in the cagcness Of Mr. Seward to
purchase foreign territories, which, to say the
least. was not so urgent as the settlement of
The Alabama claims.

80. HANcOCE,S nHnER

Cen. Hancock, Commander of the Military
District embracing Louisiana and Texas, has
revoked the order issued in August nv Gen.
Sheridan, allowing all registered voters, ire
spective OF color, to be placed on the jury
lists, provided they possess the requisite quail
fcations OF property and intelligence. Cen,
Hancock's order purpOrts TO be made with The
view OF conforming to the Constitution of
the State OF Louisiana, thing which, if 1t had
any existence, would supcrsede Gen. HancOcl's
authority altogether. Ii is only because the
President has proclaimed that Louisiana has no
civil government and therefore no Constitution,
and Congress has reiterated the same statement,
that Gen. Hancock Is not usurpcr and a
despOt. If lac wishes to issue am order that
no negroes shall sit on juries he ought to have
the manliness and honesty to do it openly. No
State Constitution of Louisiana has any more
authority over Gen. Hancock than have the
laws of France, to whom the Territory of
Louisiana once belonged Just as the Pres-
dent, while tramping under foot the cOnstitu-
tons of all the Southern States, pretended TO
obey them i'll the single point of excluding
black men from voting, so Gen. Hancock, while
holding ms very Office under law which de-
clares that tho Southern States have no civil
governments, and therefore no constitutions,
yet appeals TO the ghost of Louisana's dead
Constitution as if it were living law.
The fact that many of the cOored citizens
OF Louisiana have not sufficient intelligence to
ait On juries. forms no justification for Gen.
HancOck's order Color is not even an average
tcst Many of tho white citizens Of Louisiana

are incompetent from want of intelligence
while many of the colOred citizens arc thor
oughly competent. In New-0rleans, there are
large numbers Of rich and intelligent colored
men. Prior to the Rebellion, the free colored
population of New-0rleans averaged greater
wealth in proportion to their numbers than the
white. On the other hand, there are secluded
marshes in Louisiana where the heathenism
brought by the imported Africans centuries
ago, and forgotten by their descendants, mas
spread to the ignorant whites Had Gen. Han
cock based his order on quallicatlon
either of property or intelligence 1t might have
been sustained. As it is, it looks as il he had
entered the lists as competitor with Andrew
Johnson. Horatio Seymour, John I. Hoffman,
and George b. Mcclellan for the next Presi-
Dental nomination.

The verdict OF the jury in the case Of the
boiler explosion at Pier No. As, North River,
will startle the public by its novelty and origi-
nality. 1t is substantially nobody to blame,
except the deceased and the boiler" Tho
time seems to be past when taking life by
boiler explosions is regarded as a violation Of
either human or divine law. Indeed, it seems
to be supposed that there is some subtle law in
obedience TO which these explosions occur and
that about so many victims annually must be
offered on the shrine of Vulcan. Perhaps in
quests will YET I've held on boilers chat fail to
explode, to know why this natural law OF ex-
ploson is ever violated.

The Italian Parliament was opened on Thurs
dav. when the Prime Minister, Menabrea, while
iustifying the arrest of Garbadi, at the same
time emphatically reahirmed the determination
of the Italian Government to complete the ma
tiopol unity by the annexation of Rome. 1t
may be regarded as certain that the Italian
Parliament will indorse this policy almost unan-
imously. France, on the other hand begins
TO beat retreat. The ablest speaker OF the
Cabinet NJ. Rouher, declared i'll the Corps
Legislatif that France objects only to the occu-
nation of Rome by force, but not to the unity
of Italy. Thus Italy, though slowly and under
great difficulties, is approaching its goal and
France is on the eve of another dsgracelu'

The World, protesting TO cOntrOvert Senator
Wilson's structures on the Presidents Message,
says:
'We will suppose. then, that Mr.. Wilson'S section
should at future time rebel against an attempt by
the other states to make IL drink OUT OF It's own ay0o
cup and that the rebellion should be put down by tho
oyerpOwering force OF the Federal armies What would
be done with the people after they had been subduedt
According 20 Mr.. Wilson's doctrine which also IL that OF

The incontestabe fact that nine-tenths of
the late Rebels and even of the Rebel soldiory,
have already been enfranchised by Mr.. Wilson's
votes, should have precluded this gross misrep-
resentatlOn Aud we venture to predict that.
whenever the late Rebels shall be disposed to
close out the remnants Of our great struggle on
the basis of Universal Amnesty and Impartial
Suffrage, they will find Henry Wilson ready TO
meet them on that ground,
Mr.. Wilson's position, which The World per
yerts, is this: The Rebellion having been un-
conditonally suppressed and the Rebel States
being peopled in about equal proportions by
partisais and opponents of that Rebellion, it
would be mopstrously suicidally wrong for
the victorious Republic to consent to recon
structiOn which enfonchised all the defsated
/ Rebels and NOT the great body Of the triumphant
Loyalists. So say we all.

The Alabama Convention adjourned yester-
dav having finished its work within very
reasonable space of time. They joined in
memorial asking Congress to alter the laws so
that majority of persons voting upon propo-
sition should decide it, without reference to the
number of registered voters. Ordinances were
passed protecting voters in the exercise OF the
franchise. outlawing all debts and contracts
contingent upon the sale of slaves after Jan TO-

The Hon j. c. Churchill writes a long letter
to The Times to explain why he changed his
vote on the Impeachment Report The matter
hardly required explanation. To hold that
because n man voted once against impcaCh-
ment hc is bound to vote against II always,
Whatever new evidence may be developed, or
Whatever new facts may occur, il preposterous.
Mr.. Churchill says that when the vote was
taken ia June last he believed that the Prcsi-
dent had been guilty of usuIpation of the leg
isativc authority, but, inasmuch as he seemed
ready to conform TO the policy of Congress, it
was not wise to impeach him. Subsequent
events, however, proved that Mr.. johnson had
acted IN bad faih-he resumed his course of
usllIpation-and when the report came up again
for discussion Mr. Churchill consequently re-
versed his vote. Whatever we may think of
the wisdom of the gentlomans determination,
we have certainly no right to quarrel with him
for changing his mind
