'.,f = What the Radicals 1oiU do.
Washburne, Schenck, and other leading
Radical members of Congress, inform US
tonight that Congress will not likely in
augurate any measures of strictly parti-
san or political character during the COM

finishing legislation heretofore proposed on
important matters, such as bills for the re-
sumption of specie payment, the postal
telegraph system, SC. Not much business

The delegates from Springfield, Ohio, and
rnuncil Bluffs were admitted on similar

The Committee on the Telegraph reported
the following .-s. a.fs.as
"Rero'ued, That the National Board Of
Trade recommend the adoption by the Gen
ersl Government of measures to cheaper
and extend tclcgraphic communication be
tween the different points OF the country
bv making il part Of the postal system"
The resolution was postponed, to come up
sitter the shipping question.
Mr.. Myers, Of st. Louis, thought it desi.
rahle that Congress should, by legal enact
ment. restore the currency of the nation to
specie basis, and redeem unpaid and de
preciated promises of the Government by
resuming specie payments at the National
Treasury as early as practicable.
Mr.. Louri, of Baltimore, offered resolu-
ton recommending to Congress the passage
Of law forbidding the sale Of any gold in
the United States treasury for legal-tepder
notes or other currency, and requesting the
secretary to dispose Of surplus coin for six
per cent. sold-bearipg bonds Of the United
States to the highest bidder, and have all
bonds so purchased Immediately cancelled.
Mr.. Ropes, Of Boston, favored an early
resumption Of specie payments. He offered
resolution that it was the duty of the Co.
yernment to make provision for the gradual
wit ldrawal Of legai-tender notes, not arbi
,rarily, but TO allow holders to exchange for
bonds bearing interest. a,a~
Mr.. Naylor believed that the difficulties
in the way Of resumption were more imagi-
nary than real. The Government could do
il in six months, with rigorous measures,
and he submitted resolution to this effect
Mr.. Randolph, of Chicago, was opposed
70 any measure making two classes OF
money. Legal-tendcr notes should, as soob
as possible, be raised to gold.
There was considerable discussion, by
various members Of the Convention, on the
question of resuming specie payments and
cher financial measures. ..

The ALABAMA CLATMs-HoS. REvERpY
JOHNSON DEFINES THE BASIS OF SETTLE
MENT.-0n the, 10th Of November Hon.
Reverdy johnson was voted, an address BY
the corporation of the town of Brighton.
We give the terms for the settlement of the
Alabama claims -,
The third, and the only other, cause of
trouble originated during our late domestic
war. From this have arisen most Of the
claims made by your citizens upon my
Government, and my fellow citizens upon
yours the latter known by the general
name of the Alabama claims iti : 4 !
The convention which We have recently
agreed to land which I have NO doubt will
be approved by both Conveniently, pro-
vides that these are to be settled by a board
Of four commissioners-two to be appointed
by each Government. 3.sL re-.|,,s
In the event of their not deciding by a
majority for or against any claim other
than an Alabama one, the decision is to be
made by an umpire chosen by themselves.
In regard to the Alabama claims, the ar
rangement is somewhat different.
Before these are to be considered by the
commissioners the two Governments are to
agree upon the head of some foreign Govern
ment as an arbitrator, by whom the deci-
sion as to the liability Of your Government
for such claims is to be made, on the con-
tingency that the commissioners fail to
come to unanimous decision for or against
it. -.
This arbitrator, however, is to adjudge
only the question of liability.
If he rule that question against your Co
vernment, the amount due to each claim
ant is to be ascertained by majority of
the commissioners. = If he rule in favor Of
your Government, the claim il to be per-
petually barred

that the question of international law be
submitted to commission, both British

his successor will pursue Lord Stanley
policy.
