THE SETTLEMENT of THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
The following article appeared in the wasl-
ington Chronicle on Tuesday. 1t is understood
to reflect the views of the Administration on the
Alabama claims:
1.-The Alabama case is now with Great Britain.
Its settlement is her task. As she deliberately
inflicted injuries upon her commerce, and delib.
crately prolonged the rebellion, satisfaction for
| these grave wrongs should be az deliberately
made. The United States makes no entangng
| alliances with other powers. That is her trad-
| tional policy at once her duty and her covenant
and that is to-day the attitude of President
Grant. He does not propose to take advantage
Of the difficulties Of friendly nation. Unlike
France, which interfered to establish new en-
pre on our southern frontier and unlike Eng
land which exerted all the influence of her
aristocracy in favor of the rebellion at moment
| when the cause of the Union was doubtful the
President relies upon the sense of justice of the
English Ministry and the English masses, belicv-
ing that they will seize the fitting occasion to
close up the only remaining cause of difference
| between people speaking the same language and
| animated by the most fraternal feelings toward
/ each other,

The Corrupt Influence of Great Railroads
Congress must Interfere.
[From the TimeA]

If an adequate remedy is ever to be applied.
it must come from Congress. There are careful
observers who profess to zee in the distance the
development OF influences which will enable
combined railroad companies to dictate Federal
laws as eifectually as Fisk, Jr., now dictates the
course of Governor Hoffman and his party, at
Albany But that stage has not been reached, -
and never will be il the country can be induced
to exact timely interference to check the pro-
gress or railroad consolidation and monopoly,
and to enforce conditions that are essential to
the protection Of public interests. The consti-
tutional right of Congress to do this may have
been doubtful so long as railroads were limited
to the States under whose laws they were sever
ally organized But State boundaries are no
longer respected in railroad construction or man
agement, and State jurisdiction, therefore. no
longer suifices to regulate the leading roads.
The conflict of jurisdiction ia in itself an evil to
be remedied il possible. And when line runs
through three States, and combined lines run
across half the continent, there is necessity fol-
checks and guarantees which no one State can
enforce. The authority by virtue Of which Con.
gress regulates the commerce of the lakes and
nayigable rivers, is alone equal to the proper
regulation of the enormous traffic between the
States over which railroad combinations now ex.
ercise almost unchecked control.

Among the most striking types of the progress
of tie age is tile development Of palatial hote
enterprises. New York has itst rshered in a
new triumph in this particular The Grand
Central Hotel, situated on Broadway, midway
between the up town and down town hotels
rears its magnificent marble front and swallows
mp almost an entire block Only opened, as it
were, on yesterday, it has become already
crowded with guests, from every part of the
country. As you enter its magnificent portals
the brilliant coup Hil exceeds anything yet pro-
duced in this country or the world. One be-
comes absolutely confused with the surround
ing magniiicence, II has 10 be seento be appre-
ciated. The Grand Central bears about the
same relation to other iirst-class hotels Az the
Great Eastern did to other irst-class ocean
steamers. With between one and two hundred
rooms more than any other hotel on this con-
tinent, the Grand Central is tile colossus Of the
age. In all the appointments, everything is
fully up to the mark for a fiIst-class New York
city hotel The carpets, furniture, parlors,
linen, and all the Il oe'erd, are gorgeous.
The genial proprietor, Mr.. II. L. Powers, of
hotel renown, whose remarkable administrative
qualities eminently fit him to preside over this
modern Coliseam, and all his numerous corps of
assistants, are most attentive, polite and kind,
and appear to run the vast establishment with
natural ease and system. Already the southern
element is concentrating at this house, where
one is almost certain to meet with friends and
acquaintance without the trouble of going
around in the search to the other hotels. 10

wonder of the world would be fatiguing from
the inexhaustibity of detail. Suffice to say.
that those who may favor the immense establish
ment with their patronage, cannot fail to be
pleased with the genuine courtesy extended, and
TO retain agreeable remembrance of the uniform
and polite ciYilities showered npon them. The
price of board at this hotel is exceedingly mod

day. according to location Of room

Iron ship Building.


AN EXTENSIVE ESTABLISHMENT TO DE STARTED
NEAR CHESTER PA.
The Philadelphia Pi,es of Monday has tho fol-
lowing;
Iron bodybuilding is steadily advancing as a
baanch of American industry, and Pennsylvania
bids fair to grasp good portion Of the profits
and advantages that will accrue. Mr.. John Roach,
the proprietor of the Morgan Iron Works and
several other extensive establishments in New
York, and well known by his heavy Government
contracts, on Saturday closed large purchase
of Delaware-river front land near Chester, with
the design of devoting it to iron shipbuilding
and kindred branches of enterprise. The great
superiority of the Delaware for this purpose il
daily becoming more apparent, and this substan-
tial acknowledgment from one Of the heaviest
shipbuilders in New York il but the first step in
attracting capital towards and stimulating great
improvement in this vicinity. Mr.. Roach is a
giant among the shipbuilding and shipping men
of tile Atlantic coast something like Captain
Ward on the lakes, and his name and capital are
an accession to the industrial interests Of the
state which deserves more than passing notice

WILMINGTON, DEL.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1870.
Thanksgiving Day.



The season Of the year has again arrived which
custom has designated as fitting time for the
public recognition Of our dependence upon the
supreme Ruler of the Universe. for the public
expression Of our gratitude for countless mercies
graciously bestowed, and for humble and devout
acknowledgment of our renewed and increasing
obligation to praise and magnify the name OF the
Divine donor sof every good and perfect gift.
Now therefore, l. Cove salisbury, Governor OF
the State Of Delaware, do recommend that Thurs
DAY, the oath day of November, inst, be observed
as day of thanksgiving and prayer, and do
hereby invite all citizens and residents OF this
state to meet on that day at their respective
nlaces of religious worship. and there give thanks
for the bounties of Providence during the year
now drawing to close. -
In recognition of the guiding and controlling
hand of Providence we have abundant cause for
gratitude that plentiful crops have rewarded the
increasing enterprise of agricultural industry,
that labor has found a compromising reward in
all the legitimate vocatiens Of life, and that
augmented wealth and general prosperity have
resulted to our people, We should also CRATE
fully remember that the blessings of peace and
good government are preserved to the people Of
our State. Above all, we should be thankful and
give praise to the author of all good for the
Christian religion, and the benefits it secures
Let us, therefore, supplicate the Divine fayo
that these, and other needful blessings youch
safed to us in the future as in the past, no
forgetting to make substantial recognition OF thu
claims and necessities of the poor.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal o
the State, at Dover, the 18th day of November
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and seventy, and of the Independence o
the United States the ninety-tifth.

In the course of his argument Tuesday, in the
case of the State against Hugh Sweeny, Mr..
Patterson, pleading for the defence, and consid-
ering that he had discredited the testimony of a
colored girl asked if this did not go to show that
there was some wisdom in the action of our
State in excluding, for many years (until the
rule was overridden by the Civil Rights Bill
the testimony of colored witnesses: We con-
fess our surprise that Mr. Patterson should
place himself in the apparent position of sympa-
thizing with that sort Of prescription, but most
certainly, his question should be answered in
the negative. Even il he had shown, most
positively and Clearly falsehoad in the girls
testimony, how could that affect the credibilty
of other witnesses: By the same logic, when
ever white girl OF man should testify untruly-
an occurrence not SO especially rere-all whit,
girls and men would thereafter become unworth,
of belief, result which, we should say, show,
the absurdity of the whole idea.
