The diplomatic correspondence con-
corning the Alabama claims has been
given to the press. The first letter is
from the British Minister at Washing
ton to the Secretary Of State, informing
him OF instructions to propose to the
United States joint high commission OF
members named by each Government to
sit in Washington to discuss the mode Of
settling questions arising out of the fishe-
ries, as we'll as those which affect the re-
lations of the United States toward Her
Majesty's possessions in North America.
Mr. Fish replies in substance that the
removal Of the differences arising out Of
the depradations Of the Alabama will
also be essential to the establishment Of
the good relations which the govern
ments desire should exist between themt
and suggests that these claims also he
referred to the High Commission Sir
Edward Thornton replies that his Gov
eminent consents to this if the claims
of British subjects, arising out of the
events of the war, shall also be Diseased.
Mr.. Fish conveys the assent of cur Gov
eminent to this proposition, and suggests
that such claims only as may be presents
ed by the Governments of the respective
claimants at an early day, to be agreed
on by the Commissioners, shall be- con.
sidered The names of tho Commissions
ers nominated by the President on the
part of the United States to, adjust the
claims with Great Britain are contained
in the Presidents confidential message
to the Senate last week they are un-
derstood to be Secretary Fish, Minister
Scbenck, Judge Nelson, Of the Supreme
Court, Mr. Hoar, os Massachusetts, and
/ Senator Williams The Senate has con-
J frmed the nominations The five Com
missioners on the part of Great Britain
are Earl de Grey and Ripon, Ford Press
ident of the Privy Council Professor
Montagu Bernard, Sir Edward Thorn
ton, Sir .sohn A. Mcdonald, and Sir John
Rose. The Secretary is Lord fenterden
The British Government desired that the
Commission should consist of only three
members; bat the Cabinet at Washing
| tor insisted On ten, and England yielded
The London Times says; although
| the Alabama question rs secondary to
that of the fisheries as q subject for cons
sideration BY the Commission, yet there
is no doubt as to which question will
mainly engage its attention. But it is
erroneous to suppose that it is the pur-
pose of the Commission to find ground
| for England to abandon her position or
to concede her liability upon the Ala

sion, Of Parliament was opened by the
Queen, February 9Th. In her speech,
which is logger than usual, the Queen
touches on the qusstions which have ag-
itated Europe dur;ag the last year, in
cautious manner, The course Of tho
Governments in the Franco Prussian war
is adverted to, and hopes expressed that
the armstice may be concluded in
peace, acceptable to all Europe. On the
Eastern Question, the Queen comedies
that a revision of some of the conditions
of the Faris Treaty is desirable. n re-
lation 10, the Alabama claims, and the
Fishery troubles, it is asserted that an
early adjustment is desirable for the
maintenance Of friendly relations be-
tween, the Governments Alluslon Is
made to the new King Of Spain, and to
the Greek and Chinese massacres. The
Queen also asks for suitable dowry tor
the Princess Louis. The speech further
touches on reorganization of the army,
agparian eutrages in Ireland, details OF
necessary legislation, and recommends
voting by ballot.

County Government.

The Assembly has before it a joint
resolution to amend the state constitu>
ton, so tina. the people of each county
shall have the right to adopt such sys-
tenn Of county government as they see
fit Section %, article of our constl.
tuition provides that all counties in the
state shall have the same system OF gov
ernment; the resolution proposes to
strike out this section We have given
the matter but Hide consideration bnt
it strikes us that should the amendment
prevail much inconvenience and compll-
cations would result. With the PROPOSE
ton carried, there might be as many
different systems of county government
as there are counties in the State. A
resident of one county moving into an
other, would have as much to learn as If
he moved into another state; and state
officers having to do with all the counties
would find it more difficult than now to
keep track Of them, We don't exactly
like the proposition, but rather than hav
ing nothing done to remedy the present
cumbrous, expensive county government
system would prefer to see it prevail
There can be nothn. lost by any change.

In July 1863 a furious mob sursed
through the streets of New York City,
defvine law and order, hunting down me-
groes and banging them to lamp-posts,
and burning down colofed orphan asy-
lums. Then Tammany Hall smiled on
the misereants and assassms, and Hora-
ito Seymour, the Dem ocratic Governor of
the State, called them his friends. But
now LOOK at The change. Week before
last the Tammany ring decided to allow
the colored citizens Of New York to

stration in honor of the Fenian exiles.

Economy In Legislation 80 Biennial
Session.

Mr.. Maxon of Washington county has
introduced several resolutions in the AS.
semblv to- change the Constitution so as
to provide that the State shall be divid>
ed into not more than thirty three AS
sembly districts-each to be entitled to
elect three ACKNOWLEDGEMENT eleven
Senatorial districts with three Senators
EACH and provides for biennial sessions
Of the legislature instead of annual ses-
slons MS the Constitution now requires.
The first provision is a step in the direc>
ton Of minority representations. 1t is
the least important, we think, to act upon
at present, until the experiment is prov
en- in other states where the system is
now under trial. But the latter propo,
sition is one that has occupied the atten-
ton of the legislature before. We think
the same originated and passed in the
Assembly last Winter, but was defeated
in the Senate by a small vote,
For number Of years there has been
growing desire among thr people for a
more economical system of legislation,
and in no way Can the reform be more
effectively begun than by lessening the
number of legislative sessions IL is
thought the time has passed when fire.

Wisconsin with the older and settled
western states, and the interests of the
people are fixed and, general improve
ments marked out for future growth -
Neighborigg states of Iowa, Illinois,
Michigan, and likewise Indiana, Ohio,
Missouri and Oregon have biennial ses-
sions Of the legistatsre, and there is no
desire to return to the more expensive
annual sessions.
The cost of legislation to this State has
been for number Of years over hun
dred thousand dollars annually, includ-
ing the publication Of the laws which is
about $4,000, Considering that n great
part of the time occupied in legislation,
as reference to the doings of the legisla-
ture for Sc eral years past will show, is
consumed upon special or local acts, and
repeating and amending laws not old
enough to be understood or become oper
alive, the proposed change, it would
