The English Press Discussing the Ala
bama Claims POStpOnement.

| LONDON, July 9.-The Times regards
/ the postpOnement of debate on the Ala
/ bama claims with satisfaction. Their in
/ PRODUCTION at the present moment serves
no good purpose. a general sense of
weariness with respect to the subject on
| both sides necessitates an interval of
considerable period before it is resumed.
Debate could only be useful if Parlia-
ment disapproved of the conduct of the
ministry, or wished to instruct it in re-
gard to future negotiations. But there is
no dissatisfaction. The only charge
against Lord Stanley and Clarendon is
that they were too yielding, but the
Commons were not likely to advise the
withdrawal of concessions made, nor
were they prepared to lay down plan
| for future negotiations, and the anticipa-
tiOns of sneh results from discussions
were most imprudent. Another reason
| for declining discussion is a due regard
for the national dignity, which fOrbids
our approaching the American govern
ment ON these questions. Public Opin-
ion is unanimous on this point. The
The late treaty treaty was virtually
American, for it was made, altered and
realtered by Messrs. Seward and John
son. 1t was rejected as much through
party antipathies as from discomfort with
its provisions. twas probably fOredOOm-
I
have been, in all likelihood it would
have met with the same fate. England
is ready 10 listen to any proposals from
America, but to display desire to re-
eeive them favOrably would tend to in
crease, not lessen, the demands. When
Mr.. Motley considers that the feeling of
America is such that a treaty consistent
with the honor of England will satisfy
Americans, he may address the Govern
ment for renewal of negotiations. Only
such a treaty will have a chance of ac-
eeptance. Nothing more is desired than
to live in peace and good will with kin
dred nation, but now less disposition eX-
lists TO sacrifice the interests and dignity
of the country to any unjust pretensions.
The public will not approve of any eager
ness to negotiate, which seems TO fore
bOde weakness, when the negotiation
comes. The prevalence of more mOder-
ate views in Americli is gratifying. 1t is to
be hoped that the question OF the Queens
Neutrality proclamation, which has drop
ped out Of sight, will be taeltly abandon
ed. This favorable change IS owing to
the discovery that England will not con-
cede beyond certain point, and this res
oIution is not likely to be shaken
The Star is glad that the Alabama dis
eussion has been postponed, and that
American resentment against England
is likely to become weaker, and that,
also. her desire to reduce the burden of
her public debt is stronger. The best
thing for both countries is to hold their
peace, for while no general discussion
can simplify matters, the new House OF
of Commons evidently prefers to leave
the responsibility of the pOstpOnement
on the Government, and the Star thinks
that the country will approve its prudent
self-restraint.

The Wonder of the Age,

Professor Samuel Gardner, the elec-
trician at the Capitol, has lately in
vented and patented, in Europe and
this country, a self-ligting gas burner
which, on turning on the gas, it is in
simultaneously lighted. II blown out
by accident or Intentionally, it imme-
diately reignites itself. In fact, it can
not be blown out without immediate
ly lighting again. The burner is so
constructed as to cause fifteen per cent
more perfect combustion of the gas,
flame being more steady and prevent
ing the fiickering of the gas flame,
which is the case with all burners
now used. 1t is just what the public
has been looking for since the first
introduction of gas. No matches or
electricity are required. Public build
ings, churches, theaters, hotels, stores
and private residences can now dis
pense with the danger of matches and
fiambeaux. By turning on the gas
cock of any public building, 10000
gas burners will spring in light in a
second of time. Hundreds have, with
in few days, visited the rooms of Mr..
Gardner, at the Capitol, and witness
ed this wonderful invention. Two of
the largest gas burner manufactures
in New York are now manufacturing
this burner, and orders are received
daily, from all parts of'the country
Prof. Gardner has spent years in per-
fecting the lighting and turning on of
gas by electricity, which has proved
perfect success Cor the last four years
in lighting the Capitol. His scientific
studies have now resulted in this last
inventiOn-d seg-lightiHg gas burner
which can be seen in the rooms of
the electric gas lighting department
at the Capitol Wash. IRteHigencer.

A Malay Funeral in New Orleans
From the New Orleans Picayune.l

From the New Orleans Picayune.
In the lower part of the city are a
few families of Malays. By what
circumstances they ever removed here
it is not known, but they preserve the
customs and semibarbarous supersti-
tions that have distinguished their
people and country. They bury their
dead at night, and like the American
Indian, slaughter upon the grave some
animal the deceased loved in life
Saturday afternoon q young girl died
on Barracks street, and was buried
on Sunday night in the old cemetery
on Gentilly road. There being no
priest of their religion here, the eere-
mony was performed by the Oldest
man of their country residing among
them. He was clad in a long black
robe, and preceded, on foot, the cort-
eye which conveyed the remains to
the grave. Arriving there the tomb
was annointed and a fish and some
cake placed in the vault. This was
accompanied by ceremony at once
solemn and impressive. This over, a
bird was killed and laid on the breast
of the deceased, while all the friends
and relatives passed by the coffin, each
one laying a hand on the head and
saying in their native tongue the SIM
pie FAREWELL No tears were she'd
They do not view the transition of
the soul an occasion of grief. The
solemn parting is but a temporary
separation, and the resignation they
manifest affords an example Christians
might well conclude to initiate. The
ceremonies over, the family return
home, accompanied by their friends,
and fruit and wine and bread is given
to each in the name of the dead. By
it they promise to preserve their con-
stancy to each other, and by their
love for the dead perpetuate their
friendship.

The misunderstanding RepOrtf from
Vincent COllyer.

NEW YORK, July s.-A dispatch from
Vincent Collyer, dated at Leavenworth,
Wednesday, saws he found the Moqui
Indians hospitable, industrious and
psaceable; their village, which is within
a few DAYS walk of Prescott, Arizona,
being built of stone houses, some of
them two or three stories high. They
desire tools and school teachers. Collyer
further SAYS the Logatree Apache Chiefs
arranged with the Chiefs of the NavajOs
for council at Ajacolicate, Arizona, on
the 5th of July, to come in and settle
peaceably on or near their reservation
As no officer of our Government could
conveniently attend the meeting, offer
ed to go, but Gen. Getty replied ii would
in his opiOnion be attended with so much
personal danger that a larger escort
would be required than he could well
afford to give, and he understood the
chiefs would come to Sonta Fe. think
lasting peace could now be arranged
with the Apaches. Quite large party
of Utes have beeu out on the plains hunt
ing buffalo. They got into fight with
the Comanches and were whipped, los
ing three or four warriors. They arrived
home at Madwelrs on the lst of July
A report reached here to-day from Den
yer, that a party of 800 Utes had gone
out on a similar expedition. Whether
the same referred to the above or not do
not know. The late depredations on the
plains were committed by remnants of
tribes. The bulk of the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes whom Generals Sheridan and
Custar encountered last winter have
gone to their reservations. 1 don't
believe we shall have another Indian
war. Friend Hoag and the Quakers are
hard at work in their department, and
will soon have things better than they
ever were.

The Marriage LaW-Interesting to
Young People.


The Secretary of State, having reeeiv-
ed numerous inquiries as to what action
probate judges should take under the
letters to the Attorney-General who
writes in reply as follows:
THE STATE OF OHIO,
OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
COLUMBUS, June l6, 1869.
Hon. Isaac Sherwood, Secretary of State,
Columbus, Ohio.
SIR:-The act of May 5th, 1869, ''TO
amend section one of an act regulating
marriage" reads as follows;
SEC. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the State of Ohio, That Sec
ton one of the above-named act be
amended so as to read as follows:
SEC. That male persons of the age
of eighteen years, and female persons Of
the age of sixteen years, not nearer of
kin than second cousins, and not having
husband or wife living may be Joined
in marriage; provided, always, that
male persons under the age of twenty
one years, and female persons under the
age of twenty-One years, shall first obtain
the consent Of their fathers respectively,
and, in case of the death or incapaeity of
their fathers, then of their mothers or
guardians.
SEC. 2. This act to take effect on its
passage.
The proviso requiring female persons
under the age Of twenty-One years to
first obtain the consent of their fathers
respectively was, as / am informed, the
result of blunder of the enrolling clerk
of the House. The bill as it passed the
two Houses read ''females under the ago
of eighteen years, &C." As the law now
other provisions, and in some cases Ope-
rates as a restraint upon marriages. It
should be disregarded by the officers
whose duty it is to execute it, and treat
ed as if read eighteen instead of twenty
one years. Very respectfully,
