Probably the most important special
object intrusted to Minister Johnson S
care, was the settlement of the Ala
bama claims. A dispatch of the 9th
says the London Times considers the
question amicably adjusted, drawing its
inferences from a speech of Mr.. john
sons. There were three points of con-
troversy which have been the theme of
diplomatic correspondence for years.
England manifested willingness TO ac-
cede to two of them, as proposed by
Mr.. Seward. which included payment
for all destruction by the pirate Ala
bama- Mr.. Seward, however, insisted
on the third, which was that the proc
lamation of Queen Victoria, in 1861.

positively and Pertinaciously refused as
a decision against the proclamation
would render England responsible tor
over $4,000, 900, the value of the 2S4
American vessels destroyed by priva-
teers fitted out in English ports during
the war. 1t is not likely Mr.. Seward or
Mr.. Johnson have either yielded the
point-at least they should not. The
conduct of the English government
toward US was au outrage, and unless il

THE Gazette of yesterday shutters an
apology for the legislation of Montana.
1t objects to having the iniquities of
Democratic Legislatures stirred up and
ventilated, A very natural proceeding,
Mr.. Gazette You would like to keep
your skeleton in the closet, but have
not the nerve or recklessness to public~
ly champion any one law we have spe-
cially condemned. The PosT condemned
them during the campaign, as corrupt,
partizan and in violation of L. 5. stats
utes. The Gazette hung its head In
speechless acquiescence, but relied on
party spirit to re>elect the very same
class of men, and they were elected.
We propose to hold them accountable
TO Democrats and Republicans alike for
the legislation of the ensuing session,
and are Just quickening them to par
tial sense of their manifold sins by these
articles. If the Gazette will take upon
itself to approve specifically what they
have done, instead OF rashly riskiDg its re-
putation by prophesying honesty, decen-
CIV and common sense at the coming ses-
sion. we will be pleased to see il take up
the gauntlet. We expect little better
from the incoming Legislature, silk
purses and sows ears don't grow on the
same bush. What they do, however.
shall receive impartial consideration; if
honest and worthy our approval is quick
as dissent, but if the follies and dishon>
estes of last winter are TO be repeated.
we will do our duty in exposing it if il
takes as "mnch ink and paper as the
Gazette establishment is worth. Mon
tana is too great Territory, and her
people too jealous of her good name and
TO longer be sacrificed IN per-
sonal or partizan hatreds, affections, or
purposes.

HARTFORD, June Is, 1865.
Ma. EDIFoR,-0ur last Republican
State Convention adopted the follow
ing resolution: That the Republican
party pledges itself 10 the faithful pay
ment of the public debt, according to
the laws under which the 5 20 bonds
were issued; said bonds should be
paid in the currency of the country
which may be a legal tender at the time
the Government shall be prepared TO
redeem the bonds. This Platform
I believe. meets with the general ap-
proval Of the party, 10 this part of the
State. But We are surprised to learn
that M. Garfield is opposed to the
platform, and insists that the FIVE hun
bred millions Of bonds, which are now
~redeemable in the currency of the
country, which is legal tender, ought
Tot to be so paid, but the Bond holders
must be paid in Gold. Has Nj. Gar
field boiled the Party platform, in this
particular. Ifso, let US know in time
for primary meetings, for We must
be truly represented upon this impor-
tant plank in our platform.

EDITOR CHRoNIcLE:-The use of my
name in your last paper seems to require
a word from me, in justice to the parties
named. 1 have no recollection of being
asked or giving any assurance as 20 what
might or might not be inferred from nv
letter 10 Mr.. Chase. 1 said TO yourself
and other bysAnders that I presumed the
Washington correspondent of the Com
n~aerciaL had reference to a private letter I
wrote the Chief Justice last month but
there was nothing in that letter urging a
Chase movement or forming a third party.
I SAID to the company in the same CONVEX.
sation that I knew Mr.. Chase too wellsto
have any apprehension Of his accepting a
nomination on q platform opposed to his
own principles, and If nominated on a
good platform by the Democratic party,
L believed he would be the strongest can
didate that party could nominate but l
did not believe he would be nominated,
and that / had SO written him in the let
ter referred to. MILTON SUTLIFF.

Personally we haYe no objection to
Nj. Garfield, but we fail to see, while
scanning his virtues anything which
entities him to reelection, on the
other hand we see much that is objec.
tionable, and a part Of these objections
we have before mentioned the prin'
ciple one being an attempt to force
HIM upon the ticket by a premature
convention, when we believe, a ma
jority of the people of this Dist. co
not want him.
In u humble judgement it viii
eventuate to the interests of all, the
party and the country, to concentrate
Upon some other man, who cannot have
these objections urged against him.
Hon. Darius Caldwell, whose repu-
tation is unsuilied, is a man we can
depend upon. A man that will do
right because it is right, and not be-
cause 1t is going to make him popular d..
A man that will be true and faithful
to his constituency and his country.
We do not like to be gagged.

Letter from Patsie DobbIns.

Mr. Chr OSICLE-Dedr Sir: L believe
L promised not to write to you again,
unless "Justcause and provocation' should
induce me to take up my feeble pen in de-
tense Of my own views.
As l have seen nothing of late in your
columns conflicting seriously with my
opinions, perhaps what l have to say may
partake more of the aggressive than of the
defensi We. But my five eldest are girls,
and 1 feel disposed TO befriend them as
much as lies in my power 1 have often
wondered what 1 should have done sup
posing they had been boysl 1 believe 1
should AVE either been worried into the
tomb before this time, or have been
chsnged into a miserable vlrsgo, which 1
am not. Think of eighteen cups of coffee
to be poured out every morning. Each son
would be sure to take just as much as his
father. The dozens and dozens Of buttons
TO be sewed on every year, the weekly re-
pairs on socks, shirts, AM all other gar
ments, which must be looked over always
by the dozen and half dozen. I always
disliked the appearance of q room tenanted
only by one of the masculine gender. 1t
has such a barren and desolate appearance.
Everything so angular, and awkward, and
clothey, and leathery. Even if boots are
polishedto perfection, and clothes busted
ever so deity, and carpet and furniture n.
clean as clean can be, there still remains
that awful Stiffness. Wien 1 have char &c
Of such a room, the first thing to be done
is to hide the boots; next put pants and
vests, and all other stiff looking habili =
ments behind curtains. Ny boys have
had to wear out their younger sisters
dresses and aprons, and 1 am glad of it,
I keep my little boys in petticoats as long
rs possible. l never like them quite as
well after they put on pantaloons, for u;
soon as they put on those garments tn ey
commence pntting on airs.
L have felt some uneasiness of late lest
Amlnidab and 1 shOuld get divorced. /
DO not think hat either of US wants to be
divorced, but then its the fashion, and
who knows but what we may become
victims to this fatal fashion. Aminida {
has ONE faults and 1 have a great many.
If we should each of Us, begin at once 10
magnify one another's faults, in less than
SIX weeks we should become very misera
bic, and before the end of the year I've no
doubt we would be too mean and hateful
10 live IN the same house, or TO live any
where else. L know that if we should Q Ell
divorced we would both wed again. l
would feel very bad to see Aminidab mar,
RED to any woman who would tieat him
any worse than I do. And l know he
would be very Jealous of me if L should
consent to marry any other man besides
him. One thing l have fully decided, if
we aver do separate, he mast take all o.
the boys, and l 1dL keep all of the girls.
As formerly, l remain Very Respect'y,

Mr.. EDIToR-I noticed in the CHRoN-
IcIE of Wednesday last, an article in
favor of Mr.. Caldwell. Please publish
the following, copied from the New
York Times of Tuesday last. Y.
Gen. Garfeld's district in Ohio is to be
contested, it seems. Another Republican
seeks the nomination, and the Cincinnati
Chronicle says that, .'being a Radical, a
gentleman and q man of considerable ex-
Perience in public affairs" he will'repre-
resent the district SIS well IS the present
incumbent. Granting that in all these
respects he IS Gen. Garfeld's equal, the
Generals experience in Congress gives
him advantages which his district ought
not to ignore. Nothing avails more to
make q valuable member than that knowl-
edge of Congressional forms and ussges
which can only be acquired by experience;
and no district ought to understand this
better than the one which Mr.. Giddings
repr esented for eighteen years in success
sion. We hope Gen. Garfield Will be re-
turned. he is an able, conscientious and
faithful member.
