The Alabama NIuddIe.

The last published instalment of treaty cor
respondence mus! have brought blush to
the cheek of every American who has waded
through it. Never before was the government
of the United States openly and coarsey trea-
ted as unworthy of any credit or confidence,
by the representatives of foreign power.
Fsh's smart trick with his claim for indirect
damages seems to have put our country in
attitude of the slippery Yankee, who cannot
be believed or trusted. Thus we are treated
throughout the humiliatng discussion, with
only this slight protest from Mr.. Fish:
There are some things in~the telegram re-
ceived this morning which may require COM
ment but incline to the hope that what
may seem arrogant in Lord Granvlle's re-
mark, that he will not insist on certain Ian
guage in the proposed preamble, arises from
the constraint of the telegraphc form of COM
munication, and so too the suggestion of a
condition that assurance be given in writing
of certain things. .
Finally, we are told that the Arbitrators have
solved the difficulty by kicking the indirect
claims out of Court. But in looking at the
correspondence, we find that even this igno-
miniouS finale is at Mr.. Fish's suggestion
After formally making claim, as a just and
valid one, (else why was it made on behalf of
the American people p Mr. Fish backs out
of it, by himself suggesting that it was put
in without any sincerity, and that it ought to
be rejected. He writes:
In the correspondence have gone as far
as prudence will allow in ntimating that we
neither desired nor expected any pecuniary
reward. and that we should be content with
an award that State is not liable in pecuui-
airy damages for the indirect result of failure
to observe its neutral obligations. 1t is not
the interest of a country situated as is the
United States, with its large extent of sea
coast and a small navy and a smaller internal
police, to have it established that a nation is
liable in damages for the indirect, remote or
consequential results of failure to observe its
neutral duties.
This, then, is the end Of claim which the
whole world has stamped as preposterous and
ridiculous, which nobody but the Grant ad-
mlnlstratlon ever pretended was valid-and
which they now confess to be rather more re-
pugnant to true American interests and prin-
ciples than to those of any other nation in the
world. We doubt if the annals of public ne
gotiations in any age or country afford so con-
temptible an exhibition of chicanery, mean
ness and imbecility as the Grant adminstra-
ton has made in this unfortunate Alabama
uddle.-Philod. Aqe.

RG Bismarck's crusade on the Jesuits in
Germany will doubtless be prosecuted with
fresh and unrelenting vigor. The bill expell-
ing them from the Empire has become law,
and the animosity of the Government against
them is sufficient indication that its provi-
sions will be faithfully carried into effect.

judged the Railroad Company debtor to the
State some $25O,OoO or S26o,OOO in gold on

looks very bad, and is very lad to see
Christians making of themselves slop
ping over tobacco juice tubs. This Is
especially true OF Christian ministers,
and particularly so of those not very
aged. We rather ike the action OF
the Pittsburg Methodist (Protestant)
Conference, pronouncing ''the use Of
tobacco a very filthy, indecent, and
expensive habit and adopting res
olation requiring each candidate for
admission into the conference to an
swer the following question: 'DO
YOU use tobacco?' the answer to thi;
question to be included in the report
of the Committee on Applicants, sc
that members need not vote for to.
bacco smoking or chewing embassa
dors of the pure and self denying Saw
ior, without knowing what they ar'
doing. But from the Shenango Pres
byteTy, which held It's late session a
New Brighton, Pa, we have still NOR
radical, Presbyterian utterance They
declare that they "will not, hereafter
license any one TO preach the gospe
who uses tobacco in any shape Or form
unless be promises to abandon its US
or procure from some reputable phys
clan certificate that his health re
quires its USE"
