ALABAMA CLAIMS-FISHERY
QUESTION.

s
The Alabama Claims aud the Fishery
Question seem to be in fair way of set-
element. The President proposed a
joint commission Of ten, FIVE to beap
pointed by Che United Sattes and five by
England to meet in Washington and de-
termine /" the rights which belong to the
citizens Of the United States and Her
Majesty's subjects, respectively, with re-
ference to the fisheries on the coasts Of
Her Majesty's possessions in North Amer
lca,and as to any other questions between
them which affect the relation of the
United States toward these possessions"
To this tie British Minister responded
on the 25th Of january 1871
It would give Her Maiesty's Govern
ment great satisfaction if the claims com
monty. known rs the Alabama claims
were submitted to the considera
ton Of some high Commits
sion by which her Majcsty's Government
have proposed that he question relating
| 10 The British possession iii North Amer
lea should be discussed, providing that
I al other claims, both Of British subjects
and citizens of the United States, arising
out OF ACES committed during the recen
civil war in this country, be similarly
referred to the same Commission"
Secretary Fish replied as follows:
| "If there be any other and further
claims of British subjects or
American citizens growing out of
acts committed during the recent
war in this country be assents to the
propriety OF their re ference to the same
high Commission, but sugge SITS that the
high Commission Shall consider only
such claims of this description as may be
presented by the Government of the re-
spectiye claimants, at an rarly day, to be
agreed upon hy the Commissioners"
The President has appointed Secretary
Fish, Ex-Attorney General Hoar, Minister
Schenck, Associate Justice Nelson and
Senator Williams Of Oregon, and the
Senate has confirmed the appon ment.
! The British Government has appointed
Earl De Grey, Sir Edward Thornton, Sir
John A Mac Donald, Sir John Rosa and
Mr. Bernard, Professor of international
Law at Oxford. Lord Tenterden accom-
panies the Commission as Secretary.
News has been received that it Will DO
impossible for Sir John Rose to serve on
the joint high commission and the Duke

mentioned in his place.
LONDON, Feb. 13-The steamship Cubs

Goderic, of the joint high comission fol

THE CRITICAL PERIODS OF HUMAN LIFE.
From the age of forty to that of sixty, man
who properly regulates himself may be consid-
cred in the prime of life. His matured strength
of constitution renders him almost impervious
to the attacks Of disease. and all his functions
are in the highest order. Having gone q year
or two past sixty, however, he arrives at crit
isal period Of existence; the river Of Death
flows before him, and he remains ut n stand
still. But athwart this river is q vaduct,
called "The Turn of Life" which, If crossed
in safety, leads to the valley "Old Age" round
which the river winds and then flows beyond
without boat or causeway to effect its pass.
age. The bridge is, however, constructed of
fragile material, and it depends upon how it is
trodden whether il bend or break. Gout, Ap-
oplexy, and other bad characters, are also in
the vicinity to waylay the traveller, and thrust
him from the pass; but let him grid up his loins
and provide himself with perfect composure.
To quote metaphor, the Turn of Life" is a
turn either into prolonged walk or into the
grave. The system and powers, having reached
their utmost expansion, now begin either to
close like flowers at sunset, or break down at
once. One injudcious stimulant, single fatal
excitement, may force it beyond its strength; !;
whilst careful supply of props, and all that
tends to force plant. will sustain it in beauty
and in vigor until night has nearly set in.

ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.

We do not know how the JOINT Coh-
mission to settle all matters OF contro-
versy between the United States ana
England originated. We think so SEN
sible thing must have had its origin IN
the latter country. At all events, there
is good authority for the belief that the
fishery question and also the question OF
the Alabama claims have already been
so far disposed of as to be no longer mat
tors of discussion at the sessions OF the
Commission. Indeed basis of agree
ment on the Alabama claims has already
been secured, which will probably be
satisfactory to the representatives OF
both countries. 1t is also ascertained
that the questions named above have oc-
cnnied less time of the Commission than
the not less important one of the San
Juan boundary, a case which has been
most difficult and complicated, and
which has caused most of the discussion,
research and examination. This, it is
stated, is now the only point OF difference
between the United States and English
commissioners, and the duties OF the
Commission would have closed by this
time but for this question.

AN ATTACK UPON THE FOUNDATIONS
or CIVIL LIBERTY.

The New York Evening Post lkadi-
call, in an article on the Force bill, says
that its provisions give the color OF law
to such a coup d etat as made Napoleon
master of France, and declares that
:" No Republic is justified in thus sur
rendering its liberties. The success OF
sucb measure is more TO be dreaded
than its utter failure; the restoration OF
order by such means would be a greater
calamity to the country than the promo
t;on of disorder by it. For itwould es-
tablish precedent under which any po-
litical party hereafter, on obtaining the
control OF Congress and the Executives
might intrench itself and its President
in absolute power, and leave the people
no remedy against absolutism and cen.
tralization, but in revolution. IL is an
attack upon the foundations of civil
liberty; an abandonment of that rell-
ance upon law and upon public opinion
which is the growth of history and the
crown Of civilization; q recurrence to
the principles and methods OF bar
harism." saa

SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.

Washington dispatches state that, at
the request Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, an opinion has been given by the
Attorney General upon the effect of the
recent legislation Of Congress in connec-
ton with Southern war claims. On the
last day of the session of the last Con-
gress bill was passed authorizing the
President to appoint three commission
ers to examine the claims of loyal adj
herents Of the Governmental the United
States for stores or supplies taken or
furnished for the army during the war,
and report in each case their decision to
Congress. Prior to the passage Of this
law the departments were prohibited
from settling war claims of the character
described, excepting those in Tennessee
and the two counties of Virginia an
nexed to West Virginia. When Tennes-
see was re-admitted in July, 1866, pro-
vision was made by Congress for the set
Element Of such claims originating
in that State. The law required the
Quartermaster General or the Commits
sary General. according to the deserip-
ton of the supplies, if satisfied of the
Justice Of the claim. to recommend pay
ment at the Treasury at Nashville. Upon
revision by the accounting officers, il
was finally settled. The Attorney Gen
eral decides that under the law creating
the commission, the War Department
and the Treasury are restrained from
settling these claims from Tennessee
and the two counties Of West Virginia
Jefferson and Randolph, and the three
Commissioners, are the only tribunal tC
adiudicate in the premises. Another
and important effect of the law creating
the Commission is that all loyal claim
ants of the loyal States, who hitherto
have applied to the War Department
and Treasury for the settlement of thei
claims, not Of contract, are shut GU
from these departments, and must begil
de moro before the Commission.

MAKING A WARM PLACE.

The Mississippi House of Representa-
,;vas has undertaken to solve great
social question. 1t has passed a bill to
abolish distinction between whites and
blacks as far as travel and transporta-
ton are concerned. We shall see if that
body can abolish law of nature and
crush an instinct under its brogans and
compel the world to aequiesce. The
outside world is very small affair when
brought into contrast, or into antagon-
ism, with that body. But the outside
world is not inclined to surrender Its
opinions without protests and struggles
That body of snow-clad statesmen may
wake up some morning and lind that
little speck of humanity, carcatured
as the outside world, resolved into hu-
Klux organization. Europe, Asia, and
nine-tenths Of America may become
ghostly raiders, and the Mississippi
House of Representatives, sitting there
in the solitude of its grandeur, may hear
the hoofs of galloping steeds, the rat
Ting of dry bones and the clash oil
sabers,
Seriously, the measure referred to is
calculated to do the black man no good.
Without any fault of his, an incompati-
bility of race exists. The white race is
now and ever has been, dominant all
over the world. All the achievements
of civilization have been the work OF
the white race. In point of pro-
gress the negro race is where 1t
was at the food. 1t has created moth
ing knows nothing, and in all the earth
owns nothing. The white race has in
vented steamboats,, railroads and stage
coaches for its own convenience. 1t is
its property. But the other race de-
mands to make it common. 1t demands
the privilege of intruding into the places
assigned by white men for white men and
women. The bill referred to prescribes
a penalty of $4,000 fine and imprison-
ment for months for violation of its pro-
visions. If it shall become a law, the
miserable State of Mississippi will be
very warm for some constitutions.

COMMON SENSE.

The Cincinnati Commercial (kepubh-
can) says Southern men are Just as
desirous Of enjoying peaceful homes as
we are, and they are no more bitter IN
their resentments than we would be It
in their places, and smarting under real
or fancied oppression or imposition.
In speaking of the alleged troubles in the
South, the Commercialvery sensibly says
further: There is but one remedy under
our form Of government for this class OF
political troubles: Give the government
of the Southern States into the hands OF
the people Of those States-not to the
Unionists alone, nor to the ex-rebels
alone. bot TO the whole people. Any
other course at the present juncture will
produce a similar state Of affairs, or
rather. a worse condition Of things than
We have heretofore had. Military power
has utterly failed to produce harmony,
and must fail. The only change q can
produce is to render stronger military
force necessary.
