The Alabama Claims.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, learns from an authoritative
source that to the last communica
ton from the English government about
the Alabama claims, received some days
ago, our government has replied. Mr..
Adams is instructed to respectfully decline
an acceptance of the proposition made by
the British government. This leaves the
Alabama matter where it started, without
any proposition from either pending
Meantime there have been informal con
versations on the subject between the Bri-
fish Minister and our Administration,
but no distinct proposition has been sug-
gested by either party. I have some au-
thority for saying that negotiations have
not been suggested for the purchase of Bri-
fish Columbia and other possessions of
Great Britain on the Pacific coast.

Subsequently Mr.. Wilson returned, and
assured the people that if rights were de-
MED the cololed men at the North, guilt
was upon the Democratic party and few
timorous Republicans Another year will
bring about change Ohio, Michigan,
and New York will come all right. The
great principle of equal rights must every
where prevail. He positively declared to
the white men present that the S. S. s. bill
is a finality and thatR if it's provisions are
in good faith accepted, no more will be, or
could be, demanded. IF it is rejected, he
admitted confscation might follow. Urg-
ing it's acceptance, he said that after con-
fiscation the State governments might be dis
solved, and the South divided into terrific
ries upon the same footing with-a man in
the crowd suggested Poland. Finally, he
expressed hope that the water power OF
our State be made of service that our MIN
eral and agricultural resources be develop
cd and said that all would rejoice IN such
all event, for it would be an evidence OF
the improvement of our common coun
try. Pointing to Massachusetts,, he hoped
that by the adoption of school system
Virginia would follow her example.
tention, the speaker made his final bow.
Afterward, Lucas, to whom we have be
fore alluded, made very sensible speech,
but gave many evidences of his late COM
passion with the ''loyal' spirits who assem-
bled in the African church.
THE AUDIENCE
numbered about four or five hundred, men
and women, of whom two-thirds were ne
groes. Few gentlemen came from the
country, and the more respectable portion
of the assemblage made no demonstrations
of applause. One very well known gen
