DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

New YORK, February 1l.-Wash-
ington dispatches indicate n certain de-
gree of dissatisfaction among the MI
nority of both Houses In regard to the
consideration of the alabama claims,
founded principally on the delay that
the constituents claimants will suffer.
They say the members Of the Commits
sion will probably remain in session
for the greater part Of the time between
March and the meeting Of Congress in
December next; but II they agree to
the treaty, the Senate may need con-
siderable time in Its consideration,
and therefore that at least q year
must pass before the questions are set
tied. Then they say there will be
much more delay before claimants can
establish their claims and get their
money. They add, too, that the cor
respondence published leaves powers
in the hands of the Commission very
uncertain; that they may be con-
strued to include all questions of
every nature that possibly may have
arisen between countries, and negotia-
tions may result in n treaty which
would be no more acceptable that the
one rejected by the Senate so unani-
mously. They demand that bills now
before the Senate and House Foreign
Committees be reported, so that the
United States may assume and pay the
claims, and afterward settle with
Great Britain. On the other hand, the
majority of the Senators and members
express approval Of the Presidents
plan, and point to men who represent
the United States in the Commission rs
n guaranty that whatever is agreed to
by them will be acceptable to the
people.
