NEW YoRK, Dec. 19.-The TriJune's

reasons for believing that an amicable
settlement of the alabama question is
soon to be offered. It is believed that

the part of England The following is
believed to be the points upon which the
negotiations will be made g.
The United States, as basis Of settle.
ment, will require, first, that England
shall pay owners for ships and property
destroyed by the alabama, with interest
on the value of the same from the date
Of destruction I; second, thft England
shall reimburse the United States Gov.
ernment for all expenses incurred by the
United States in consequence of the Ata-
hosnn and other cruisers third that
England shall make public recognition Of
the true principles of neutrality on the
basis of settlement.

The citizens of Portland seem to be
very slow in making up the s1OO, 900 to
Holladay to build the West Side Rail-
road Albany is about the only town
in Oregon that can afford to buy q
railroad. AS soon as we find out how
much one costs we just go down in
our. breeches pocket and plunk down
the. skads. Fifty thousand dollars
isn't huckleberry in bears ear
for-us to raise; but Portland, which
claims to be worth twenty times. the
value of Albany, belly aches terribly
about the small sum of q hundred
thousandl Say. you Portland fellsrs:
make mp what you can of the amount.
and Albany will go your security for
the balance. You see we are charita-
BILE and willing to help poor and in
digent sister out of a scrape.

CARrET-BAeGER CoME TO GMKF.-
Hon. G. G. Bowen is Radical Con-
gressman from South Carolina. He
emigrated from Rhode Island to
Charleston in 1862, and in 1866 the
niggers of the Palmetto State elected
him to Congress, where he some
months ago gained al unenviable rep
utation in selling cadetships; but the
investigation of the charges against
him were in some manner squelched,
and again all went merrily with ye
carpet-bagger until a few days ago,
when dispatch from Washington
City, dated Dec. Il, informs the world
that he was arrested under indictment
for bigamy and gave bail for his ap-
pearance at court in the sum of IS 600.
If the nigger-worshipping gent should
get clear of this scrape as easily as he
did the cadet business, it is probable
that he may "fetch up" at the end Of a
rope for numbering some one Of his
constituents TO gain q wench all for
his own.

The Germans are rctreating all along the
valley Of the Loire. The French Gov
ernment has dismiss ed General Sol from
service. The charge against him was
that he hastily abandoned Tours, leaving
behind guns and other war material,
though no enemy had appeared near the
city. The Government, in accordance
with the law which condemns to death
Generals who too hastily surrender their
posts, has ordered by decree an inquiry
into the capitalization OF Strassburg and
Metz. AS regards General Ublrich this
proceeding il \ mere matter Of form, but
10 Bazaine's case the investigation will be
q serious affair.
The Prussians now appear to be con-
centrating near YoctOt TO attack Havre.
The latter place has $50 cannon and a
strong garrison, and will be defended to

VERSAILLES, DEC. 16.-The HcralTs
special German accounts Of the sortics
levadc the truth. Ducrot was entirely
successful as far as he went. He held
the peninsula Of ST. Manr against the
German attempts to recover it, and re.
turned voluntarily after ascertaining the
failure Of PalIadipes. Ducrot is couf-
dent that he could have gone through the
line Of investments, if Palladipes had
been successful. The German leaders
arc uneasy on account of their line being
weakened, and fear the success of a
massed sOrtic.
The news from Paris is that provisions
are plentiful and will last three months.
There is confidence in future success.

are constantly gaining ground, while
the Republicans are loosing; the end

the Democracy, unless the Conserve

The Herald of Wednesday says
I'VE understand that private letter
was received from Governor Grover,
stating that he will give towards the
$100, 900 subscription for the West
Side Railroad, as much, in proportion
to his means, as anyone. It must be
a source of pride to him to know that
by bis course in vetoing the $500, 900
subsidy bill he has not only won the
esteem Of our citizens, but vindicated
the true Democratic principle, for
which all Democrats uphold him."
