TIE ALABAMA CLAIMS QUEsmoN-AN
ENGLISH PROPOSITION EXPECTED. President
Grant contradicts the statement telegraphed
from London asserting that an important de-
spatch had been received by Mr.. Moran, the
American Secretary of Legation, on the sub
iect of the Alabama claims. The President
ridicules the idea of turning over the diplO-
matte management Of such question to o
subordinate official, even If Mr.. Motley had
turned over the affairs Of the Legation to Mr.
Moran. lie says that the government is in no
hurry to settle the Alabama claims, but that q
serious proposition from the English govern
ment on the subject is expected to be received
here very soon. Nothing is to be done, how
ever, in the way of definite settlement OF the
matter until after Mr. Motleys successor Is
appointed. We hope that as soon as that DIM
Guilty is removed the matter will be taken up
in earnest by our government and pressed to
an honorable and satisfactory termination.

A BRILLIANT ARRIVAL FROM AFRICA
diamond hunter has arrived in England from
the Cape OF Good Hope, having in his trunk
diamond stone valued at thirty thousand
pounds sterling. This takes the ''shine" off
the ssblack diamonds" OF the West coast in
former years, and tends to contradict Carrie
Jeilaby's assertion Of africa . beast.

REPORTED NEW PARTY CAUCUS IN NEW
YoRK.-Some confident q,iideunc has been
telegraphing to Western papers that caucus
of prominent politicians was to have been
held in this city on Thursday last. The St.
Louis Republican admits it to be possible
that its special telegram from New York in
regard to said caucus may have "erred in
some particulars. Very likely. But our
distant contemporaries should be on the look
out for bogus dispatches concerning political
movements in this city, all the facts concerning
which frequently exist only in the magma
tons of the Bohemians who concoct them. If
o political movement originates in this city
and it is the intention of the managers to keep
the matter strictly private it will be kept SO,
or Il q leak happens anywhere the regular
New York press reporters are as likely to be
informed Of it as any outsiders.

Nrw YORK PoLITICs.-A host Of radical
leaders lave gone to Washington to bother
President Grant about New York politics and
to smooth over the inglorious defeat Of their
party in this State at the late election. The
President will doubtless be highly edited at
the explanation, but viii hardly be induced to
believe that the Empire State is over anxious
to wheel into the republican line. Tom
Murphy is said to be entirely secure in his
position as COLLECTOR, the President having
refused to make another change in that Office
for mere political reasons.

A Dexterous Rascal.

Galignini tells this story:
AT the Cafe du Commerce, Rue de
Viarmes, near the Halle su Bic, several
corn. dealers were assembled about
o'clock the evening before last, when a
well dressed individual entered aud
seated himself beside one Of them. After
a time the stranger made sudden move
ment, nv which he raised his neighbor' s
arm. BE instantly apologized, but the
other suspected something wrong, and
upon examination missing q pocket
book, accused the other of having taken
it. The stranger Indignantly denied the
fact, but was, however, taken to the sta
ton, where nothing wss found on him.
He at frat gave the name of Vasseur, but
ct length, perceivipg that be was recog-
nizsd, be admitted that he was really
Polack, well-known thief. Shortly
after the missing article was discovered
but without 200 francs which it con-
tained-under the seat which be had oc-
cupied at the cafe. The prisoners ca
reer had been most eventful one. He
is desperate gambler, and visits the
watering places during the summer. In
1866 be won 250,00 francs at Baden.
In the resources furnished by play he
adds those arising from marvellous
dexisriiy in picking pockets. BE fire.

America, be broke bis leg, which was
