"Pa'maas qui Meriut, Ferat"-In this
degenerate age, when honesty and fair-dealing
justice and truth, seem to have been entirely
forgotten and ignored, it is a pleasure to call
attention to the fact that one person, at least,
still preserves those correct principles, which
must be inherent in his very nature |; and to
verify this fact, it is necessary to state that
few days since Mr. Guvernator, gentleman
doing business on Main street, sent his son, a
mere youth, to the City Hall, for the purpose
Of paying bis gas bill ,amounting to S27, which,
with the bill, was wrapped together. Before
reaching the City Hall the youth lost both the
bill and the money. They were picked up by

The ALABAMA CLAIMs-Basis for Set
aensent.-The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald telegraphs the
following to that paper, under date of the
14th inst, as a basis Of settlement of the
Alabama claims, arrived at by the Joint
High Commission Hs
The responsibility of England for depre,
dations of piratical cruisers fitted out in
her. waters is accepted, and it is agreed
that such responsibility be hereafter ac-
cepted as the political maxim between the
United States and Great Britain, both
these powers pledging themselves to
make efforts for general international ac-
ceptance Of the same view. The claims
at present under consideration are to be
submitted for veri6cation aud auditing to
a new commission of five, one named by
the President, one by the Queen, and one
each respectively by the President of
Switzerland, King of Italy, and Empero
of Brazil.
These commissioners are to be sworn
like jurors if they have formed no pre-
vious immovable opinion, and have no pre-
judices in the matter, but will decide Alto
gether upon the evidence as they receive
it. They will be cognizant of and adopt
the maxim accepted by the present com.
mission, however, relative to responsibility,
aud will confiue themselves altogether to
hearing, auditing the claims and signing
checks, which will be payable promptly
on their endorsement for any sums our in-
surance companies, ship owners and mer-
chants generally are able, legtimately, to
pile up against England. After this COM
mission gets through, another commission
OF three-one appointed by the Emperor
of Russia and the other two by the Pres-
dent and Queen-wil wind up the odds
and ends. The main point seems that the
final payment of cash on these claims is to
be delayed almost indefinitely. :.

Fighting Between Cincinnati Pol
fstctans.

Cincinnati, April 17.-Charles w. Wool
ley and j. G. Needsldey, two prominent
Democratic politicians, had an alteration
on Saturday morning on Third street,
growing out of the election fund used in
the recent campaign in the First ward,
which finally resulted in blows and in
Woolley drawing o pistol. Woolley, al
though he did not shoot, says be drew the
pistol on account of the unfair action of
the crowd about him. He says he had a
pistol because he was going away from
home, and would rather it had not been on
his person at the time of the occurrence.
Neither party sustained serious injuries.

They were mostly ladies of known connec-
