The Alabama Claims,

The London Morning Star, says The
great and satisfactory result upon which
the two peoples may be heartily congratu-
lated is, that an agreement has been come
to for settling all the open questions be-
tween them by mixed commission of En-
glishmen and Americans. The umpire IS
to be named simply an case of disagree
n,ent WHICH is not probable, as public
opinion has almost unanimously come to
the conclusion that the best thing for Eng
land in the future would be to pay for the
destruction caused by the Alabama in the
past. If we acknowledge our liability, and
pay the cost, we gain a powerful stand
point for remonstrance with other nations,
should they attempt to take us at disad-
vantage during struggle, and send pri-
vateers to play havoc among our merchant
men. Unpalatable as it may be to pay u
heavy sum for the reckless and unpatriotic
conduct of some Liverpool shipowners. 1t
is infinitely better that we should pay than
to remain subject to have the anhdiLoued
precedent turned against omseloes. While
we are thus blotting out one bad precedent
| from the records of international law, we
! are building up another which may be pro-
duc,;ve of the most beneficial results so
long as time endures. The two strongest
and most high spirited nations of the
world, having causes % difference with
each other, have not rushed ao the fatal
extreme of war. They have discussed the
! questions at issue with great care, ingenu-
ity, and learning. A few foolish persons
on both sides have attempted to throw fire.
brands, but they have been put down by
the vast preponderance of sound opinion in
both nations. And now, when the people
have been fully informed, when the Gov
ernments and the press, the pamphleteers
and politicians, in Parliament and out oi
it, have all had their say, it is found that
a mode of adjustment can be agreed upon,
and that the whole dispute may be han
ded over to four gentlemen representing
the two nations, to settle it as they see
best. We may depend upon it other ma.
tions are looking on at this instructive
spectacle. They will ask themselves
| whether it is not better than keeping W
immense multitudes of men to prey on the
vitals of the taxpaying community. W.
congratulate LORD Stanley on his share il
the noble work, and we hope he will fol
low it up by insisting that the bloated ar
maments of England may now also be
greatly reduced.

The Peace OF Europe.

1t is not to be doubted that much ankle
.ty prevails abroad in regard to the intent
Of the hostile array presented by France,
Prussia, and Austria. On the part of the
two latter powers, it is alleged that their
policy is defensive, and that their arma-
ments are intended chiefly for the purpose
of resisting any aggressive action on the
part of France. Louis Napoleon affects
desire for continued peace; but his designs
are distrusted, and may, at any moment,
be developed in destructive war Of ag-
gression and acquisition. 1t is to be re-
marked that neither the publicists nor the
business classes of Europe feel any conf
dence in the preservation of peace. War
is always impending over continental Eu-
rope, for the reason that it may be at any
moment precipitated at the arbitrary will
of two or three individuals. Much uneasi-
ness exists on this subject in those regions
of Europe that are likely to become the
theater of any hostilities in case of war;
The vast military preparations of Ma
poleon may have-and observers in France
think they really have-an object nearer
home than any possible dispute with Prus-
sia or Austria. Napoleon has an army of
twelve hundred thousand men; and finer
looking men were never drilled in the
trade of arms. They are well clad, and
present military array of unsurpassed
splendor. The French arsenals are full of
arms and equipments, OF the Chassepot
rifles there is an immense supply, but still
they are being made, under large contracts
in France and Belgium. and also in Eng
land
At the same time, Napoleon has sup
pressed the freedom of the press, and has
thus guarded against the exposure of his
policy, in every respect, to public consid-
Grafton and comment All these mea-
sures Of Napoleon's are construed by some
to mean distinctly that he intends to es-
tablish the Napoleonic dynasty in the per-
son of his SON. The desire nearest to the
heart of Louis Napoleon, as he has shown
in all his actions, is to perpetuate the
Empire in the Napoleon family. The
Imperial Prince, and designated heir and
successor of Napoleon Ill, is about thir-
teen years old. M
1t is the opinion of many observing
Frenchmen, that upon the death of Louis
Napoleon there will arise a period of rev.
olution and anarchy. France, it is as
serted, will not accept the Prince as the
heir and successor of the present Emperor,
and that she will repudiate and revolt
against any regency. 1t is probable that
Napoleon has provided for regency du-
ring the minority of the Prince, if the
contingency requiring it should occur.
Either the regency or the Prince, upon
his accession, must be supported by an
army of a million and a quarter of men,
and this force will, no doubt, be main
tained until the young Prince be estab-
lished on the Imperial throne. The army
will cling to the Empire and the Napole-
onic dynasty.

missed by his congregation for hanging

This was fit payment for such an ancleri-

in Caroline county, to Elkton, which,
when built. will place Easton as near to
Baltimore by rail as it will be to Phila-
delphia.
/" When built" seems to point to an

yet. the projected road is not an imprac-

fhink. that the editor of the Star will see
such ccnnection with Baltimore estab.
