THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

NEW YORK April 1t is stated that there
is an evident desire on the part of the British
government to have the Alabama claims
question re-opened, but Lord Clarendon
wishes the first overture to come from the
United States, which will not be done, Secre
tary Fish adhering to his dispatch of Septem-
Der last, in which he stated that the United
States do not propose to set any time for the
settlement of the question. Within a few
days, in reply to an inquiry from Secretary

FARWELL's SPEECH.

We had heard much said by admirers of
the great Paper Credit apologist who repre-
sents Augusta, Of the effort at explanation
which he made at the close Of the session.
We improved the earliest opportunity to care
fully read that remarkable production And
we must say that more lame, impotent and
we may add impudent TRADE and tumble was
never made without y rebuke to 4 body of
men having the least claim to brains. 1t
talks about everything except the point OF
the subject under consideration-a drcarv
drlbbe OF nonsense The speaker abuses
the press, abuses the commissioners, abuses
Gov. Chamberlain. and almost everybody
else who did not have a hand in the cheat
ing.
: Bnt through the whole wordv and windy
document we have looked in vain for one
single word tending t. show bv what process
or authority the men who sold a million of
dollars worth Of paper credits to the towns of
this State got possession Of them, or by what
show OF color Of right they perpetratcd the
swindle. That point was avoided entirely,
and that is the very thing that the people
most want 10 know. The rest is all IL
relevant nonsense.
This last squeal from the spokesman for the
Paper Credit swinllers il forced out by the
passage of the resolves, and the apprehen-
sion that Gov. Chamberlain would appoint
men who would give the matter thorough
sitting. Since the appointments have been
made, the halter which was seen in the dis
tance, is felt to be drawing. And ''let them
hang" Is the verdict of the people

( tht ICE came down from the river. t Jam

the piers at the draw ont of shape, and also
forced some of the piers of the main structure
down the stream ten or fifteen feet The
bridge is still passable. only its course is
somewhat meadering. The ice was strong
and came with great force
II is a curious fact that this bridge has been
n bill of expense to the towns of Bucksport

years ago the use of the bridge for smelt

thought OF ut the time the bridge was built
it would have been good investment for
any ono to have kept it in repair for the use

bill of expense to the towns.

There is q movement to abolish the income
tax, which will probably be successful. 1t
is difficult to say whether it should rightly be
repealed or not. A large portion of the
wealth OF the country can be reached and made
to contribute its share towards the expen-
ses OF the government in no other way, and
not one half so much as it ought to, in this
way. If abolished, that large and wealthy
part of the community whose means are in
vested in non-taxable government bonds,
will escape all direct contributions to the
government. On the other hand the tax it.

the radical party, and we trust will expire
with it, if not before.

This is 4 rebuke to the 1neandering course

question that it has been on all sides of with
in the past two years. Mr.. Knowlton felt,
doubtless, that the course Of the Age in con-
structing a platform and then placing him up

better put to itselfthe question of the niggers
