1t will be seen by report in our local
columns that several committees Of gen.
tlemen waited upon Gen. Grant yester'
day to tender him an ovation on the
part Of the city government and the sew
eral Republican organizations of the city
1t will be also seen that the President
elect respectfully declined the intended
honors. Gen. Grant doubtless believes
in the good old custom-which has in
these latter days been somewhat departed
from-when Presidents very generally
avoided public harangues and commu-
nicated with the people through official
channels only. The elder Presidents
kept themselves aloof as much as posi-.
BILE from all such public demonstrations
as were proposed to be rendered to Gen.
Grant on this occasion, and we think the
country will approve Of Gen. Grants de.
termination in this instance.

The Alabama Claims.

There seems to be dead lock existing
between England and the United States
in regard to the settlement Of the Ala
bama claims. II is now said that Sec.
rotary Seward declincs any kind Of arbi.
tration, and insists that the appointment
by England and the United States of a
joint commission should be equivalent
to the acknowledgment of the formers
injustice towards the United States in
recognizing the South IS beligerent
power. lie insists that there is no ne
cessity for an arbitration previous to the
appointment Of a commission. 1t is said
at the State Department that Minister
johnson has received no instruct ons to
settle this question upon basis other
than the one offered to the English Min
istry by ex-Minister Adams.

WASHINGTON, May l5.-Hoase.-The let
ter of the Missouri delegation to Senator
Henderson was up as o question OF priyi-
lege. Several Missouri representatives said
the letter was written and the interview
obtained ut the instance Of Henderson.
Considerable excitement ensued, but the
Speaker deciding that it was not question
Of privilege, and several members Directing
to It's present consideration, the House pro-
ceeded with the regular order Of business.
Mr.. Wilson was proceeding to explain q
private bill, when =
Mr.. Woodward, of Pennsylvania, who
was the author of the resolution censu-
ring the Missouri delegation for writing
the letter to Henderson, said he desired to
know what the gentleman of Missouri (Alr.
Pike), who was near him, meant by distort-
ing his face. He was not accustomed to
being talked to by grimaces and caballstlc
signs.
The Speaker raped the House to order,
and asked for what purpose the gentleman
from Pennsylvania arose. Ii it was ques.
ton of order, the gentleman from Missouri
could be taken off the floor, but not other
wise.
Mr.. Woodward desired to know what the
signs and facial contortions of the gentle
man from Missouri (Mr. Pike meant. The
manner in which they were made was more
betting the Five Points than this hall.
The Speaker reminded MIR. Woodward
that the Inst remark was not in order.
Mr.. Woodward, resuming, said the gen
tleman from Missouri had come towards
him making cabalistic signs Of this style
(putting his thumb to his nose and gyra-
ting his fngers), and he could not under
stand that language.
Mr.. Pike disclaimed any intention OF IN
sulting the gentleman.
Mr.. Woodward said as the gentleman be,
| longed to the party that claimed to pos,
sess oil the morality of the country [cries
of order on the Republican sidel he wanted
to know what the signs meant.
Mr.. Myers, of Pennsylvania, wanted e
know if the remarks of his colleague would

The Speaker said the gentleman hae
risen to question Of order, and his remarks
would go in the Globe.
Private bills were then resumed, and tn
