The Alabama Claims.

Some of the French papers take rather
an alarming view of the Alabama claims
question, and intimate that ifgreat eau
ton is not used the United States and
En- land will be involved in war. Inc
"Presse'' says that the two countries
are ON dangerous declivi'y, and that
If the utmost caution is not observed
they will find themselves thrown into
q war without any desire, on their part,
to 90 into it. The "Pdrtie" believes, OF
course, that the danger of the present
state of things is to be found in the
facility with which Democracies are
carried away by reckless and ignora
leaders, into all sorts of extravagant en-
terprises. The Etenddrd believes that
the American people have the same
temper rs the Neapolitans that they
would be most unfortunate were they
to live out of tho sight ofNesuvious, and
that political commissions, the terror OF
other nations, are essential part CT their
happiness. The "1ribunc' believes
that the agitation to be observed in the
United States Is due to a set OF poll
ticians who having missed their fortune
in the late war, would be glad to do
what most of the Radicals have done
during the late rebellion, and become
millionaires.
The London "MteWgencer." of
Saturday last says The unanimous
sentiment of reprobation circulated by
Mr.. Summers speech, will demonstrate
to Americans, we hope, that English
patience has its limits, and that the
limit has been reached. England may
stand an infinite amount of buster, but
menace-this is different thing altogeth-
er. Menaces, it is true, are proof OF
weakness; but they nevertheless have
wounded our national vanity, and we
fear that the settlement of our difficult
ties with the United States will be a
more arduous task after than before Mr..
Summers speech.
The London " GioWWOrm," of the
same date says: AS we have said before,
we are ready to settle our difficulties
with theUnited States in any way COM
patible with the honor and interests OF
England, by means Of arbitration OF
otherwise. What else can the Ameri'
can people desire? More they cannot
expect, for this would be the sacrifice Of
England's dignity and standing, sacri'
fees to which we will never condescend

Letter From RichMpOud
RICHMOND VA, May 3rd, 1869.

RICHMOND VA, May 3rd, 1869.
Dear Transcript:
L have had no time to write you since
the adjournment of the Conservative
Convention on the 2Sth April, and no
doubt you have given to your readers
all the proceedings before this time.
Now, therefore it remains only for me to
give the general feelings and opinions.
The Conservative party, if it can be
called such in its disolganized state, re-
mains as before; the two opposing
wings one as wide apart as ever. One
half of the Convention goes home de-
and not to support any one for Govern
or,-and the remainder hardly inclined
to vote for that to them obnoxious in
strument, and help Walker, late presi-
dent of the Chicago Anti-War Demo-
cratic Club and now sailing under Re-
publicancOlOrS tothe gubernatoral chair.
Therefore the strength of the two OPP
posing parties, Republican and Con-
presents solid front; the latter is still
a disorderly mob with no leader, and
now an element Cf victory in the two or
three hundred deserters from the Re
publican ranks, which include all kinds
of dispointed office seekers. The whole
movement is a sorry blind, as it is in
tended to deceive the people at the
North and the Administration do to
their real objects and sentiments, and
it Is snrrisinS that two euch papers az
the Tribune and Times should for a
moment have unwillingly aided set of
Union hating men to get hold of this
State again.
1t is the general opinion that theCon-
servatives will never let the election
come upon them without putting in the
| field Il Simon pure white mans ticket,
and that Walker will withdraw when
deserted.
This Convention, in fine, was made
up entirely of old secession hacks and
the expressed object of it, was move for
possession, four years hence, against
cOlored suffrage. 1t was no honest ac-
ceptance of the situation, and displeas-
irg to the great majority of the Conser-
vatives.

Four dreadful legs, with claw pinchers
at the end of them, jointed in four parts

was oval shaped, and marked almost
exactly like that Of crab, only upon
the rims of an inner circle upon the
back there were twelve more of those
long sharp spears, with two at the tail,
and four snake like tentacula, exceed

After the discourse, the sacrament was

Failure" TO have it whispered on the
street or published i'm the papers that
$50 and So" mas failed, was an afflic-
ton for which there was no etfectual
consolation. In these modern days,
however, failure is merely an incident
of business life which agreeably relieves
its monotony. Formerly, failure revO-
lutionized mans mode of life, tans-
ferred him from an expensive house to
Il humble one, dismissed his servants,
sold his horses, moderated his personal
expenditures for dress and recreation,
and made him seem what he was-a
poor man. Now, if any change at all
in his outward condition is effected by
failure, it is generally change for the
better-the less money he has, ordinari-
ly, the more eXtravavantly he lives.
There is not one of ourreaders, probably,
who does not make or hear the remark,
almost daily, "Where does such-a-one
get his money-he failed only q few
months ago." These social mysteries
are multiplying constantly, and the
number OF men who live in luxury,
hold high positions in society, and
fairly glitter with the favors of fortune,
having no visible source of revenue, il
daily growing larger. BY and by it
will be established as business mans
maxim that the number of mans

The New York Express says that
highly ritualist;c service, little ahead
of anything heretofore attempted, even
ut st. Alban Church, n. Y, was per-
formed at an early hour Oh Monday
morning, at Christ Church, Fifth Ave
nue., being n commemoration OF very
High Church Episcopal Association,
known as the Guild of the Holy Cross.
Quite large number of persons were
present. The church was in semi-dark-
ness, except the chancel, which was
brilliantly lighted up with gas and wax
candles. Over the altar was a handsome
cross, on each side Of which was tall
wax candle, and two more OH the altar.
The affair was not intended for the gem
eral public, and was in no way connec-
ted with the parish, but was designed
for members of the "Kyrie." A print
ed circular, containing the following
and a copy of the hymns to be sung,
was distributed to the faithful:

gowns and chasubles, some OF bright

BY the peculiar forms and ceremonies
which characterize those of the Roman
Catholic Church. At the conclusion OF
the Litany and the morning prayers,
another voluntary was played on the
organ, during which second procession
emerged from .the vestry, consisting OF
little boy carrying the cross, and two
others with long lighted wax candles.
and they were followed by three priests
in gorgeous vestments of cloth OF gold
richly ornamented, and with black Der,

the communion service, the commands

made by the choir.
