The Alabama Election.

An election In Alabama commenced yester-
day. and will run through iour days, embrace
ing the ratification of the new State constitu-
ton adopted by the radical reconstruction
convention. the election OF Governor and q
fun State ticket Legislature and five mem.
bers Of Congress. The opposition, 1t seems,
have set up no tickets for any OF these Offices,
and have resolved upon the mastery mac
tvity" policy. The law says that unless in
these reconstruction elections majority Of all
the registered voters shall have voted, one way
or the other, the elections shall 60 for nothing.
The opposition hope. by abstaning from the
polls and by using all their influence to induce
others TO abstain, that less than a majority Of
the registered voters will be recorded as voting
in this election. We dare say, however, that
as this policy was pretty thoroughly tried and
signal.y failed in the election for the Conven-
ton, it will fail again, aud that during this
month OF February five radical members from
radically reconstructed Alabama will present
themselves for admission 10 the House OF Rep
resentatives, and will be admitted. The radi-
Gals, in these reconstruction elections, have
never failed yet, and as they have the control
Of the election returns II they fail in this Ala
bama contest II will be from design or shock

The Police Commission and the Politicians

The Police Commission and the Politicians.
The copperheads OF New York and Brooklyn
are engaged in desperate scramble over the
office OF Metropolitan Police Commissioner,
made vacant by the death OF one Of the mem
bers of the Board The majority on joint bal
lot OF the Senate and Assembly assure this
nice plum to the hungry democracy, and the
question is, which city shall carry of the prize.
The small ward politicians of Brooklyn de-
mand il because the deceased Commissioner
was Brooklyn man. Tammany insists upon
securing it because the present three Com
missioners are all anii-Tammany men, and
the Sachems claim the right to have their
ninety thousand voters Of the city represented
IN the Board. The legislative caucus is TO
take place tonight at Albany, and the fight
promises TO be severe one
The Tammany leaders make no conceal
ment OF their object in desiring the nomina-
lion Of one of their own number TO the posi-
ton Grey ayow it to be for tho purpose of
securing representative upon the Board who
will give them share OF reliable Tammany
democrats as inspectors of election, poll clerks
Z
| York city is concerned, are appointed by
4 tie Police Commissioners, while in Brook
] iyn the appointment of such officers
vests in the city and county authorities.
/ After all the democratic Indignation that
has been expended on partisan commits
SONS" therefore, Tammany now demands the
nomination of strict partisan on one Of these
commissions, avowedly for the purpose Of
swelling the Ismmany vote some fifteen or
twenty thousand in the city through the in
strumcntality OF partisan Inspectors, poll clerks
and canvassers.
| It is time that these unseemly squabbles
| over the Metropolitan Police Department should
cease. The force, to be worth anything should
be held entirely a,oof from politics, ard the
| democratic leaders have hitherto protested
desire to give non-partisan character TO the
| Commission, and have accused Fenton and the
republicans OF bad faith in departing from that
| principle AS the two houses Of the Legislature
have now adverse majoritics it will be good
| time to carry out such reform. Let bill be
passed TO provide for the equal political divi-
sion Of the Commission, and the preservation
Of the respective party representation when.
ever vacancy may occur. The people will
approve Of such measure, and Tammany will
gain more credit by advocating II than by
scrambling and fighting for q place on the
Commission for the ayowed purpose OF securing
the appointment OF its own inspectors and can
vassers of election, and thus adding fifteen or
| twenty thousand to its present enormous city
vote.

The CRBTAN EMI0RANTs.-It is obvious from
the report of the Italian Consul at SYRIA to the
Italian Envoy at Athens, translation oil
which we publish elsewhere, that the Cretan
emigrants are not only suffering great priva-
tons, but are also full Of regret ut having
exiled themselves from home and Of eagerness
to return. We cannot but infer that our pre-
vious impressions are correct-that after all,
the Greek Christians in Crete are but tools in
the hands of the Greeks of the kingdom, and
that the Greeks of the kingdom are but tools
in the hands Of the Russians. Turkey has
recently shown SO great willingness to ad
vance in the path of progress as to have earned
a claim to be lett alone to work out the expert.
ment which she has already initiated.

The Alabama Claims.

II is rumored that President Johnson is
about to turn over new leaf and open new
chapter, "short, sharp and decisive" on those
Alabama claims; that the Seward-Adams cor
respOndence is ended that Mr.. Adams will
shortly return home, and that then new Min
lister will be sent out with positive instructions
from Mr. johnson himself involving the ulti-
matum of General jackson to King Louis
Philippe touching those old French spoliations
on American commerce. Now, if such a
requistion shall be made upon England 1t is
probable that without much further chafferng
she will close the controversy by coming down
with the cash; for we perceive that some Of
the leading English doctors Of divinity, states
men. politicians and political journals, are ear
nestly pleading the expediency and propriety
on the part of her Majesty's government of set
thing those little bills without further evasions
and without any more OF those Improbable
quirks and bubbles which mark the special
peadings Of Lords Russell and Stanley on
"belligerent rights" the law Of nations and the
English code Of neutrality.
We may, therefore, safely assume that a
positive demand from Mr.. johnson will pro-
duce the indemnity justly due the United
States for the late piratical depredations on
our commerce of that Anglo-rebel corsair, the
Alabama, and other bold buccaneers of the
same Holy Alliance between John Bull and
JEFF Davis. We are half inclined to the
opinion, however, that as these claims will
keep and will be good at any time, it would
be as well to defer their collection to some
future day. The interest will be accommodating
meantime, and with these bills in reserve we
shall have the British government under bonds
to keep the peace and bound to avoid, like
wise, any entangling alliances touching the
affairs of this Continent in conflict with the
supreme law OF the Monroe doctrine. Thus,
whenever in the future some act Of British ia
terventon in the aiflirs of any Of the indepen
dent American States may call for the inter-
position OF our government, the presentation
OF those Alabama bills for imm .diate pay
ment will be apt to bring her Britannia
Majesty's legal advisors to proper under
standing OF the saving virtues OF non-interven-
ton and the American balance OF power. In
tni5 view oi tuc SupJcct, having uTougut tnc
English Cabinet to a reasonable frame of
mind, we would suggest to MIR. Johnson that,
as there is no special necessity for the imme-
diate settlement Of these aforesaid claims they
may be judiciously held IL terrorem over Eng
land, subject to foreclosure at any time. In
a word, in the matter oil these indemnities we
have The whip hand over England and we
should not for the present give it up.

The Republican state conyen.isp.

The Republican State Convention meN
to-day at Syracuse for the appointment of
certain delegates to the Presidential National
Convention OF the party at Chicago in May
next, and for the PRONUNCIATION Of platform
upon which the party in this State propose to
fight the Presidential battle. After the terrible
defeat Of the party in their attempt to carry
New York for Mr.. Chase and universal negro
suffrage last November it seems to be under
stood that the radical managers have agreed
TO drop Chase in this Convention and proclaim
the compromise ticket Of Grant and Fenton.
But the quarrel of the original Seward Weed
Raymond and Rufus Andrews-Grant conserva-
tives is as much with Fenton as with Chase
and they, after protesting against this Conven-
ton as premature and packed for Fenton, have
got up, at least from this city, an anti-Fenton
or Mozart delegation, to see what they can do
at Syracuse. They will probably be ruled out,
and thus the radicals, perhaps, will turn over
completely to the opposition party the State
OF New York, on the principle of a certain pro-
found philosopher, who will have it that
defeat without these fellows is better than
success with their assistance Blu. as we shall
probably know all about this Convention before
tomorrow morning we await our reports Of its

the sharp practice of railroad financiers. and
the consequent exposure may induce the proper
