UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND.

The news from Washington is to the
effect that there is danger of an early
settlement Of the Alabama controversy.
We say danger, because if we close up
all our quarrels and hush up all our
clamors, what will parties, politicians,
demagogues and political freebooters
exist on? When you bring peace to the
country you bring famine to them. They
live on agitation. 1t is the breath of their
nostrils and the blood in their veins. If
peace is made with all the world it could
soon be said of them that each in his
narrow cell" etc. We cannot finish the
quotation, as the last line is not appro-
pirate. 1t is thought doubtful if Schenck
will go to England. 1t is even limited
that the arrangement has been made in
Washington.

A REFORM.

Some OF the newspapers are reyiving
the question Of reform suggested and
discussed several years since. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer, in allusion to the sub
ject, remarks that the experience we
have had Of this Administration ought
to satisfy all that it would be a great
civil reform TO adopt the measure so
ably advocated by Mr.. George H. PEN
dleton, Of giving seats in the House Of
Representatives to members Of the Cabi-
net-seats that would entitle them to
participate in its discussions, but not to
vote. Being brought there face to face
with the peoples representatives

would greatly affect the progress Of leg

like to have the privilege Of explaining

LONDON, February ll.-Authentic in
formation has been received from Paris
which states that Favre has not gone to
Antwerp with the purpose Of interview
ing the Orleans Princes,as was reported.
He las not left Paris.
The elections which took place in
Paris Friday are reported to have re-
suited in favor Of Conservative party.
The following are now stated on relia-
BILE authority as the conditions of peace,
which have been finally decided on by
the German Governments;
|. The cession to Germany of the en-
tire province of Alsace and part Of
Lorraine, together with the stronghold
of Metz.
2. The payment by France to Ger
many of the sum Of 100000 francs as
expense of the war; and $4,000, 900 francs
for captured German ships, and for
losses sustained by German subjects ex-
PEELED from France Or otherwise injured
by the war.
The monarchist element has prevailed
at the elections in majority of the de-
partments of France, and will command
majority of four to one in the Assem-
bly,. Six!constituencies have elected NJ.
Theirs to the Assembly by an over
whelming majority.
A dispatch from Wilhelmshohe states
that ex-Emperor Napoleon is much de-
pressed by the course of recent events
in France and the public sentiment,
which has been powerfully revealed dur
ing the election. All hopes which he
formerly cherished of the probability of
the restoration of the Bonapartist dy-
nasty are now banished from his mind.
A report, stated to have emanatcd
from official circles, is current in this
city that the British Government has
suggested to the Prussians to submit the
question Of the terms on which peace
can be concluded with France to the de-
cision of the neutral powers, who, when
the matter has been finally settled, will
give their guarantee for the ful6llment
of the stipulations
The Gaulois has published telegram
stating that M. Favre has arrived at
Antwerp, and will shortly obtain an in
terview with the Orleans princes
Intelligence has just been received in
this city of a marine disaster Of most
character, which took place at
sea few miles off the cape of Lohgue,
a headland of France in Normandy, |
forming the northwestern extreme of the
peninsula of Collentin, in the English
channel, opposite the island of Alderny.
A FreRch transport, heavily loaded, on
which there were upward of twelve hun
dred and fifty troops, was wrecked among
the rocks of the coast, and all on board |
persisted. The sad intelligence has cast
a gloom over the entire city, and further
particulars of the disaster are anxiously |
awaited.

STILL AT 1T.

The bad men at Washington are still
plotting and planning for reconstruction
in the South. They are incapable OF
overcoming a prejudice or discovering
craftsmanship IN any measure that does
not form the body and soul Of it. A re-
cent letter from a Washington CORE
spondent states that various schemes are
incubating, but the way to effect the
much desired object perplexes the wisest
IF the Radical statesmen. II is gener-
ally conceded that, unless some plan can
be devised to exclude the electoral votes
of the Southern States, they will be cast
for the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent Carpet-baggers are complaining
Of Ku-Klux outrages, and men like
Holden, of North Carolina, who are
being arraigned for their crimes,
are clamorous for protection by
the Federal authorities. There seems
to be no end to their devilish malice.
The Government has shown no forbear-
ance, no federation, no magnanlmltyi
but has taxed its ingenuity to devise
ways and means to humble, to crush Out
the manhood of the Southern people. 1t
has been Ku-Klux Khan, perpetrating
outrages in the name of law. In the
enactment of reconstruction laws, IN
forced amendments to the Constitution,
in establishing military despotisms, in
appointments to ofiice-in every way and
. by every device, the Radical party has
sought the subjugation Of the white race.
Every department of the Government
gloats with devilish exultation at every
opportunity to add insult to injury. If
an Office is to be filed, some vagrant
carpet-bagger or worthless negro is COM
missioned. Virginia affords examples OF
this, and SO do other States that have
been wilfully subjected to the domination
Of men who possess no qualifications for
Office and no honesty.

OUR Controversy WITH ENGLAND

Secretary Fish and Mr.. Thornton have
agreed upon plan to settle the matters
in controversy between the United States
and England. The plan is to arrange
the terms of settlement by joint COM
mission, to sit in Washington. The
President has sent to the Senate the
names, it is understood, Of Fish, Schenck,
Judge Nelson, Hoar and Senator Viii
liams. to act for the Government. This
measure was brought about by CORE
spondence, and approved by both Gov
ernments. In that correspondence the
British Minister says he has been directed
by Lord Granville to propose joint high
commission Of members, named by each
Government, to hold sessions in Wash
ington and treat aud discuss the mode
Of settling the different questions which
have arisen out Of the fisheries Mr..
Fish answers that the President equally
appreciates the Importance Of good un-
QerStdnQluB Dct"tch TIC HoeioHDi DNN
permanent relations Of sincere and sub
stantial friendship cannot be established
unless they adjust the Alabama claims.
If those claims are included in subjects
treated by high commission, this Gov
ernmeut will, with great pleasure, enter
into the arrangement proposed. Mr..
Thornton replies that he is au-
thorized by Lord Granville to consent
to the consideration Of the Alabama
claims by the high commission proposed,
provided that all other claims Of both
British subjects and citizens Of the
United States arising out Of the acts
committed during the recent civil war
are similarly referred Mr.. Fish re-
spends, saying if there be such claims,
the President assents to the propriety
Of their reference to the same high COM
mission, but suggests that the commits
sion shall consider only such claims Of
this description as presented by the Gov
ernments, the respective claimants at an
early day to be agreed upon by the com
missioners.

WORKING.

The friends of Governor Holden, o
North Carolina, are working like beavers
at Washington to have the State recon
structed speedily, to save that person
from the result of an impeachment
They want Congress to hurry the work
that unstates a State, to save an indi'
yidual from that punishment which his
monstrous crimes deserve. What a gov
ernmentl What a people The old idea
that governments we're instituted among
men to promote the greatest good by
promoting the interest of the greatest
number has given wide berth to the
other doctrine-that governments were
instituted to enrich the few and to pro-
tect rascals from punishment. To save
so bad man as Holden, it is proposed
to overturn the civil government Of North
Carolina. Perhaps sermon from our
pulpits tomorrow, on the Enchanting OF
the devil for thousand years, would
prove instructive.

NASHVILLE.
Violations OF the Revenue Laws
The Arrested Parties Rescued.


NASHVILLE, February lion Wednes-
day last Capt. Govett, of the Revenue
Department. and Capt Bently, Deputy
United States Marshal, accompanied by
a squad Of United States soldiers, went
from Nashville to Franklin county, Ten
nessee, for the purpose of arresting
Jesse Arledge, member Of the Constitu-
tional Convention, and others for al
legged violation Of the revenue laws by
illicit distilling. The distillery is stu
ated nine miles southwest from Deeherd,
in Franklin county. The party pro
ceeded to the residence Of Arledge and
arrested him. They also arrested Stephen
Whitson and Thomas Cowser, who, as
the officers alleged, we're employed by
Arledge TO run his distillery.
The officers broke up the distillery,
seized the whisky, cattle and other
property, and left for Decherd with their
prisoners, stock, etc. They we're travel
ing slowly in wagons, somewhat after
the fashion Of quartermaster's train OF
small commissafy department. On
the way, and before reaching Winches-
ter, they say several horsemen passed
them at a rapid rate. On their arrival
at Winchester the officers. as they alleger
we're surrounded by a pob Of at least
25O men, armed with pistols, revolvers,
rifles and shotguns, who demanded the
release Of the prisoners. Resistance was
useless, and the assailing party captured
the prisoners, whisky. stock, cattle and
the entire commissaTy department The

NORTH CAROLINA,
A Washington special says:

A Washington special says;
The officer of the United States army
who has been investigating the troubles
in Robson county, North Carolina,
thinks that the citizens could, by united
action, acting under the authority of the
sheriff as posse comitatus, suppress the
outlawry which is devastating that Sec
ton of the State. The United States
troops would be ready to afford whatever
assistance might be necessary whenever
the civil authorities make the requisition.
A large number of farmers in the county
are said to be leaving their plantations
and removing into the towns in conse-
quence of the great danger to property
and life they are now subject to. The
officer making the report asserts that the
outrages are in no way the result of po-
litical sentiments, either one way or the
other.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is not rem
dered particularly happy by a recent
movement on the part of the New York
Tribune. 1t holds this language; The
New York Tribune dominates B. Gratz
Brown as the Democratic candidate for
President in 1872. While admitting that
Mr.. B. isn't much to look at, it says
"he has ideas in his head, is rather
honest for successful politician, was a
good second-rate editor, makes a fair
speech, is Radical free trader, and can
get some negro as well as some white
Republican votes" In addition to all
this Mr.. Gratz once fit" duel, and
was shot in the leg. But, if it's all the
same to the Tribune, the Democracy
would rather nominate their own candi-
date.

Congressional Proceedings The
Steamer Tennessee.

Steamer Tennessee.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE House
Committee appointed for the purpose of
investigating the charge against the In
dian Bureau have completed their labors,
and the report has gone into the hands
Of the printers.
The House Committee on Commerce
finished the consideration of the river
and harbor appropriation bill this morn
ing, and it will probably be reported
early next week.
The rumors regarding the unseaworthi-
ness Of the Tennessee is authoritatively
contradieted by the Navy Department.
Commodore Oden, an experienced Off
Ger of the navy, who superintended the
fitting out Of the vessel, authorizes the
following statement: That the Tennes-
see, formerly the Wadawaska, is one Of
the staunchest and most seaworthy yes
sells in the navy; is comparatively new,
having made but one trip since launched,
three years ago, when she weathered a
severe gale, with one-half the sailing
power she now has. She has been thor
oughly overhauled during the present
year, and strengthened by the addition
Of a new deck, while her sailing powers
have been doubled. A third Of her
machinery been taken out by relieving
her Of useless boiler. She has Ericg-
sons engines, and in case Of their being
disabled has sufficient sailing qualities.
II is not true that any officer asked to be
relieved from going on her, mistrusting
her seaworthiness. There is not the
slightest anxiety felt by officers Of the
Navy Department about the safety Of
the Tennessee, for the following reasons:
No intelligence, either from SANTANA
or San Domingo, Of sufficiently late
dates to have announced her arrival,
have been received anywhere, and regu-
lar communication by the Tybee is but
once a month, and she is not due on re-
turn trip until the 2Sd Of February.
The following information from Cuba
goes to show the rapid stride that is
being made toward the close Of the re-
belhon. The rivalry that has so long
existed between Cespedes and Ygnscce-
age Agramonte has at last eliminated

great distress prevails among the birds
in that region Of country, as owing to
the ground being covered with snow they
