The Alabama Claims and the Radicals.
washington June " correspondence Of the Evening

PosLl
The probability that the Alabama claims question
will be made party issue in the approaching eec-
tons Is stl freely discussed In political circles The
comments OF the party press throughout the coun-
try are not as favorable TO the plan some republi
can politicians here expected but as their course
was not decided upon withoui due deberation, and
the sense Of the magnitude ana important bearings
which the agitation OF the subject party measure
will have upon our foreign polcy, there Will be no
hesitation or fatering IN their attempt TO make
this q live issue for the fall election. Even
II they were so disposed 1t is too late
now they say to retreat and abandon the field TO
their democratic adversaries, who would gladly
make this an issue IL II appeared at all probable that
the republican party could be forced 10 oppose them.
The originators OF the movement are very sanguine
that upon this issue alone some OF the doubtful
States can be carried by decisive maJories for the
republicans. Leading radical politicians in Penn
syvania write here that unless differences with
England are made party issue the contest Will be
close between the two parties. With this issue the
republican success, they add, Is insured This fact

the scraper, Of which there were six cas-
over the bow of the boat. These scraper'
we're lowered or raised by the aid Of the
yindlass, and might be likened to six man
moth shovel plows. The boat commenced
operations at the head Of bar, and its for
ward motion drove these plowshsres into the
soil Of the bar which, when turned up and
thus loosened, the action of the current, &C
| clerated by the wheels Of the steamer, hoAted
it of into the deep water below. Frequent
trips Of this kind soon gave a margin be.

Important Onel were removed --snnCs.--~
There were some of these of such pro
portions that steamers have been sunk
BY them. One of these snags was n mon
ster in its way, measuring eight feet IN dl-
ameter at the butt. In all, there were 81
snags removed, oil that interrupted the
channel between Rock Island and st. Paul.
At first, and indeed for some time after
they had got to work, Captain Webb and
his force met with the cold shoulder from
river men, and often ridicule; but before
the season was over they began to appreci.
ate the great good the enterprise was doing.
1t is said they did not have to wet spar the
entire season.
1t Is contemplated to continue this good
good work the coming season, touching up
the bars again and to remove any new snags

dropping shores into the channel. Still

of daming the sloughs and combining the
water to narrower limits. Every one at all
CONVEX SAINT with the habits of the river
knows how many sloughs of greater or less
magnitude, keep robbing the main river Of
itsawnter. His idea is to dam them about
midway Of the islands. He proposes to
drive willow spiles, of which there are plen,
| ty on the river, into and across the sloughs
and 10 lodge rock and willow brush against
| them. Such a procedure will catch the
moving sand and dcJris, and soon soil
will come to the surface, in which willows
and young cottonwood trees will multiply
| and thrive, whose roots will hold it there,
aud in few years join the islands to the
main and In the economy Of these dams,
willow sples are selected as much for their
! vitality as their convenience and ineypen.
sivcuess. They are sure to grow and help
form the chcyaDx.de.trize, which is to make
such dams permanent institutions.
General Warren, who appreciates this
dea of the captains, il at Washington this
winter and among other appropriations for
the improvement Of the Mississippi river,
will endeayor to have one made to essay and

points this season, viz Beef Slough and at

formation concerning the work:
The Government, under the supervision
and management Of Capt. Webb, has en-.
gagged in this service two steamers, the c. j.
Caffrey and the Montana. One Of these
steamers, the Cafrey, WAS used as snag
and scraper boat combined, and the other
was only operated as scraper. Owing to
the delay in getting the boats and appars.
tus ready, the force did not get to work be-
fore the 18th of July. At this time the
water was quite low, there being only three
feet Of water on Grey Cloud Bar, twenty.
five miles below st. Paul. OF course this
stage of water precluded the large steamers
from reaching St Paul. In twenty four
hours after the Captain rot his serapers to
work there were four feet of water on this
bar From this time the work went bravely
On. Rolling Stone bar, Pigs Eye, Grey
Cloud bar, Trempeleau bar and Beef Slough
bar with number Of other less formidable
bars were manipulated so that four feet
Of water was maintained in the channel
throughout the entire low water season.
