rHt CLAIMS or rnE UNITED STATES TO he PAID.
The. New York papers Of Saturday state
that the following basis Of settlement OF the
Alabama claims has been signed by all the
members Of the Joint High Commission :
The responsibility Of England for the deprc.
dations of the piratical cruisers fitted out in
her waters is accepted, and il is agreed that
such responsibility shall hereafter be accept
ed as a political maxim between the United
States and Great Britain. The Alabama
claims are to be submitted for verifcation and
auditing to a new commission Of FIVE persons,
one to be named by the President, one by the
Queen and one each by the President Of
Switzerland, King Of Italy and Emperor Of
Brazil. The commissioners are to be sworn
like jurors that they have formed no previous
immovable opinion, and have no prejudices in
the matter, but that they will decide alto
gether upon the evidence as they receive it,
The commission shall meet at Washington
within six months after the ratification Of this
convention. All claims shall be filed with
this commission, if possible, within six months
after their meeting, and the final decision must
be made within two years of the time Of the
first meeting. If the commission fails to
agree on any special terms, such claims shall
be referred to another commission Of three,
appointed by the President Of the United
States the Queen, and the Emperor of Rus
STA, which shall meet at New York within SIX
months after the adjournment of the other
commission.
p. Slater intelligence pronounces the
above somewhat premature, though it is still
claimed that the Commission have agreed
upon a settlement Of the Alabama and other
like claims, which will be entirely satishcto-
ry to the people Of the United States.

DJ-llow little the women who advocate
easy divorce, and an idea of marriage as
mere civil contract realize that the dire evils
of such theory and practice would fall prin-
cipally upon their own sex 1t is the weak
err party that goes to the wall in the conflicts
Of life. The man can take care of himself,
in case of disagreement and separation; but
what of the wife and her children The
matter has its ludicrous and its serious side
The London Globe, abiding to a rumor that
somebody was about to introduce into Parlia-
ment bill to legalize marriages for limited
term, two, three, five or ten years, says of the
plan:
II man finds his wife neglectfu, if she omits
to see that his shirt buttons are in trim if she
gives him cold meat for dinner, if she is habit
ually late for trains, il she travels with more than
hundred-weight Of luggage, if she runs into
debt ut the milliners, ii she does not laugh at his
Jokes, II sht puts his papers to rights, if she
presents him with twins, he can hold over her
in terr0rem the threat that he will not renew the
partnership at the expiration of its term, but will
leave her to set up menage on her own account
and at her own expense. OF course there are
| some cases in which the man would be the worse
of. When a husband has nothing TO do but TO
hang up his hat in his wife 5 hall it is he who
will view the approaching close of the wedding
term with fear and trembling. When the wife is
the capitalist of the firm it will 60 hard with

one Of the most favored, and therefore most de-
tested rivals will take his place at bed and board
as soon as the matrimonial partnership has run
out But then, de paUcis, non cHrai len. Such
men are iare exceptions. Most men do not marry
heiresses. The majority find the money for the
domestic concern, and therefore it is a clear adj
vantage for them to get this measure passed into
law, and their wives brought into proper sub

Had the French fought as hard against

~ The Tammany managers obtained their
majority in the New York Assembly, at the
opening of the session, by admitting one Ca
rey, democrat, from one of the New York
districts, in place of Twombly, republican,
who was clearly elected by the people Re-
Gently democrat, Jim Irving, resigned
his seat to avoid expulsion on account of his
brutal assault upon fellow.member on the
floor of the Assembly This broke up the
Tammany majority, and gave promise of de-
featng some of their outrageous schemes,
But the deadlock ended on Saturday last
the democrats having succeeded in finding a
traitor in the republican ranks, who had the
shamelessness TO rise in his seat and announce
that henceforth he proposed to vote with the
democrats on every question. This man is
Orange S. Winans, member from Dunkirk,
Chautauqua county. The Albany Ereaing
Journal says the bargain was probably con-
sunimated during Friday night The price
has not been published but it is said to be
in the neghborhood of 100000. With this
accession, there will no longer be need of an
election in lrving's district, and Tweed's tax
levy and other bills will doubtless be put
through. The J@Uaal says of Winan's
treacbery
Words are inadequate to express the contempt
and indignation which this base act will excite in
the minds Of all honorable men of all parties
Even those who 10 be benefited by the treason

Towns without ConstabIes.

The attention of the towns throughout the
State is called to the following act No 35 of
the published laws, enacted at the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature
Section twenty-six Of chapter fifteen Of the gen
eral statutes is 80 amended as to read as follows
il is hereby made the duty of the selectmen of
the several towns in this State to require Of the
consnbles in their respective towns, before they
enter upon the duties of their office, to give bonds
to their towns for the faithful performance Of
their duties, in sufficient sum with good and
sufficient sureties and if any person chosen to
the Office Of constable in any town in this State
shall neglect for ten days next succeeding his
election to give such bond, his office shall BE- ra-
can't and the towns may also require similar
bonds of their treasurers and clerks.
Doubtless in many towns in the State tho
office Of constable has become vacant, by rea-
son Of failure to comply with the require
ments of the new law The only remedy is
to be found in calling special town meeting
and making new election ; as a vacancy n
that Office is not one which it is competent

The Paris problem is still unsolved. There
has been some fighting during the week but
with undccsiyc results The troops Of the
Assembly are occupying strong positions
which they are evidently able to hold until
prepared for combined attack on the insur-
gents The latter have made repeated at
tempts tobrcak through McMahon's lines, and
have reported great victories from day to-day,
though they are now just where they were a
week ago. Provisions are becoming alarm
ingy scarce in Paris German troops are mass
ing about the city, evidently designing to lend
a hand if necessary. NJ Theirs has issued a
circular in which he says the " Government
continues to tcmporizc for the purpose Of col
lectng an irresistible force, and also to allow
the Parisians time to reflect" The last hope
is idle; the first will doubtless soon bring
them to terms.
