SECRETARY FIsH's VIEWS.
His Opinion on the European Complications
Alabama Claims must be settIed-New
"RefOrm" Party Movement

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Secretary
Fish said yesterday that the recent
news from Europe indicates that Rus
STA is really in earnest in her endeay-
ors to abrogate the provisions of the
treaty OF 1856 which relates to nom
trality, but thinks war will not inevi-
tably follow. He thinks it possible
aud quite probable that the result
will be Peace Congress of all the
great powers of Europe, at which not
only tho Eastern question but DOS
sloly the Prussian and French war
question may be settled.
Under existing circumstances
however, the future OF Europe is pure
ly predetermined, and there NAV be
an occult influence at work which
may produce astonishing and unex.
pected results. In the event of a
peace Congress it is certain that the
existing Government in France will
DC disturbed or destroyed. The
strength OF the new republic lies with
the people themselves, and a for
tuitous peace, without cession of
territory, will be equivalent to a
guarantee of its future existence
Inc Empire is at an end, and the
only thing that can follow the Re-
public is a kingdom. Communities
tlohs with France are at present very
brief Minister Berthemy is recoe-
nlzed here as the legitimate and only
responsible preventative Of the
French Government. Washburne
has been used by our Government as
medium Of communication for inn
portant matters but, notwithstand-
ing the length of the war, there have
been but few subjects of Importance
requiring his mediation. His recog-
milton OF the French Republic was
not premature, but in pursuance Of
orders, and his present course is
thoroughly in accordance with the
wishes of the administration.
The election of the Duke of Aosta
as King of Spain will not materially

Gen. Buffers scheme for the an
ncXation Of Canada Us incident to a
settlement of tho Alabama claims.
and detailed in Lowell letter. sim
ply means war, for England would
not submit to it without a struggle.
The Alabama claims must and will
be settled at the proper time, and
perhaps very soon. The main obiec-
ton TO the Johnson. Clarendon treaty
was that private claims were includ-
ed in the protocol. The Alabama
claims held by the United States
government are held to be of higher
Importance and of graver dignity
than private claims, because they in
volve important questions Of inter
national law which cannot be settled
by on ordinary convention or a mixed
claim commission, such as is required
Tor the adjustment Of the latter.
In regard to the threatened rup-
ture in the Republican party, the Sec
rotary said the revenue reformers
claim more than they can prove, aud
the reduction Of the tax, will satisfy
the people better than gIittering
promises which investigation shows
cannot be fulfilled. Senator Schurz
IS an able man, but if be still pro-
fesses to be supporter of the ad-
mlnlstration, he certainly has a
strange way OF showing it.

ing enterprise ever undertaken in the
United States, and one which posses
SEES as much scientific interest as any
in the world, is the tunnel which
slowly but surely is penetrating the
Hoosac Mountain, in Western Massa-

gun, we believe, in 1848, but the pro-
gress of the work has been so slow
that the bore will not be opened for

combination. Russia declares her
designs to grasp Turkey, and Prussia
is ready to connive to aid her, Eng

LONDON, Nov. lathe whole tide
of popular feeling now in England is
running strongly in favor of the
French. Even the Times, feeling it's
influence, changed its tone and urg-
es Germany to make peace and with
draw from France while she may DO
so with safety. This feeling is part
ly due to the horror melted by the
barbarons and wholly unjustifable
conduct Of the Prussians in attempt
lug to suppress the popular resis-
lance in France, and partly to the
rapidly growing conviction that Eng
land will be the next victim of Ger
man ambition.

LONDON. Nov. 13.-The Russian

the provisions signed at tho conyen-

treaty of Paris of the 9th Of April.
1866. These provisions forbid the
Russian fleet entering the Darde-

Black Sea, and limit the Russian
fleet in the Black Sea to ten small
steamers. they also prohibit Russia
and Turkey from erecting on the
Black Sea Coast any military marine

Hawiey is at his old tricks, Unable to
present to the people of the district any re.
cord Of his works in congress worthy of
mention unable to show why he should be
returned, or the radical party maintained IN
power afraid to 20 be fore the people on
his own merits, he commences the canvass
bv telling the people that Cable, his oppon-
ent, is wealthy, rich in blood money made
from slaves Cable made his money-every
dollar of it in the practice of his profession,
in legitimate trade and investments, a fact
which is well known to Hawley. But the
radical candidate for Congress would not
tell the truth about his opponent if he could.
Think of Ha~ley talking about "blood,' .
money AS we'll might the devil talk about
rascalisy. Hawley will probably have
enough to do in defending himself before
the canvass is over. His chances must be
desperate when he is forced, at the opening
OF the canvass, to retail lies about his op
ponent to gain sympathy from the poor
man.-Quincy Herald.
SO this sort of lying is only one of Haw>
leys old tricks. is it? He takes very good
care to go away, from home to practice his
tricks, but it seems from the above that he
ia being most effectually shown up. Why
don't he or some of his friends tell the peo
pie what special claims he makes for re elec
ton, we would like very much to see them
in black and white, now that We are satisfied
he cannot answer any Of the various charge,
we have made against him.
