Last Thnrsdau oil efforts to S

Last Thursday all efforts to secure
8 settlement Of the Alabama matter
ended, our Government remaining
firm in its position. On Saturday ne
gotiations were opened on the part
of the English Government, which
looks as though 1t would back
down rather than leave such an i'm
portant and to it, vital question open.
The point of the present difficulty is
the absence from the article of any
words which can be held as defining
indirect claims, and failure to de-
clare what class of claims is desig-
mated by them as indirect. 1t is
thought it would likely lead to intro
duce under the title of direct claims
such as England would deem mad
Missile. SO our Government has
again beaten the representatives of
the British lion at their own game.

Frederick Douglass, whose imfor-
nation respecting the sentiment of
the colored people of the South, is
probably as complete and full as
any mans in the country says;
From all l saw, heard, and learn
ed, in the Convention and out of it,
the newly entranchised class of the
South clearly understand the pres
sing necessity of continuing the Re-
publican party in power. While
they are warmly and personally at
tached to the Hon. Charles Sumner,
they are firmly and unalterably at
tached also to q. S. Grant. They
very properly regard the latter as
the man of the hour-strong enough
to arrest the arm of the Ku-Klux to
save their threats from the knife
of the assassin, their ol-house S
and dwellings from the torch of the
incendiary, their newly acquired lib
critics from obstruction, and to as
sure them of a better future.

According to special dispatch
to the Indianapolis Journal, EXPIRES.
Andy johnson now appears on the
stage as libertine, and the seducer
of Mrs. Emily Harold, wife of the
Postmaster at Greenville, East Ten
nsssee, who, being exposed, adopted
a short way out of all her earthly
troubles, by putting'a pistol bullet
through her own brain. On the
tragic end of his HaSon, good ma
ny of the best citizens of Greenville
refused to recognize the ex-President
on the street. This is stand-off on
JEFF Davis sleeping-car adventure.

Last Friday, Senator Sumner re-
peated his usual anti-Grant speech
charging the administration with
various shortcomings. Senator John
A. Logan replied in the following
language: "I tell the Senator from
Massachusetts that he will find re-
ply to that malignant speech in
every crutch that aids a wounded
soldier through the world, in every
wooden arm, in the grieved heart OF
every widowed mother mourning for
her patriot son, that will overthrow
him and all his oratory. These will
speak in thunder tones in defense of
one of the most gallant soldiers that
ever lived in any nation on earth"

For the Iowa Liberal press here
falls the last, the worst, the deci
dedly unkindest cut of all. Mr.
Greeley's own New York Tribune,
in its issue of May %, ungratefully
and unfragrantly scouts at the few
but fervent papers in Iowa that think
they are sincerely supporting Mr..
Greeley:
ain Iowa the prospects ofthe Liberal
movement do not seem at present very en-
couraging to its friends. To calculate upo n
carrying the State would be to Deepen d
upon an unforeseen revolution in the po-
litical situation, such as would throw the
powerful party machinery of the Grant
party in the State seriously out of gear.
The Liberals have no newspaper exponent
with large Republican constituency in
the whole State; and the Democratic ReacS-
papers IN I0toG are, like the party they rep
resent, FEEBLE AND QUERULoUs.
Will the Davenport Democrat, the
Ottumwa Democrat, and our Leader,
copy the above and do justice to it.
1t is said that language is sometimes
a failure. -RegiSter.

The Chicago Tribune claims the
general amnesty, granted by recent
act of Congress-, as result of the
Cincinnati Convention. Why, this
measure was very strongly urged by
President Grant, in his message last
December, and passed the House
months ago. 1t is simply carrying
out the Republican platform of 1868,
which declared in favor of removing
all disabilities as soon as should be
consistent, with the public welfare.

Just as we expected. The anti
secret-Society National Convention
at Oberlin, Ohio, put in nomination a
ticket with Charles Francis Adams
for President. They resolved Wig
orously, and very sincerely, we have
no doubt, net only against secret So
cieties in general, but also against
tobacco and Intoxicating drinks. 1t
now turns out that Adams has been a
Royal Arch Mason, for twenty
year, takes snuff, and drinks wine.
