General Grant is quoted by the Wash
ington correspondents as unreservedly OPP
posed to the Alabama Claims treaty. He
holds that the treaty is unjust to the United
States because it assumes to measure injury
inflicted upon this country by money value
of ships actually destroyed, whereas the
chief damage to our commerce was i'll our
ships being driven from the seas by Anglo
Rebel pirates. In addition to this, the
sympathy extended by the English Govern
mcnt to the South prolonged the war at
least a year, and forall lives lost and money
expended, for this time, England is directly
responsible. The treaty proposes to settle
all these things by the payment of the pal
try value of a few ships.
On Sunday morning last, Mr.. Charles
3. FISH, a clerk in the Yale National Bank,
New Haven, stepped into the Bank to see
if everything was right there, and found
man lying in front of tie stove asleep, with
a cushion under his head. Upon examna-
ton it was found that he had effected an
entrance through window, after which he
endeavored to reach the money drawer by
cutting a hole through the top of the coun-
ter with his knife, but finding the work
difficult, gave it up, took 4 cushion, and
laid down by the stove and went to sleep.
The man was arrested.
