The Alabama Claims.

The venerable E. D. Mansfield, in
writing to the Cincinnati Daily
Gazette upon the subject of the i'm
pending trouble between the United
States and England, says /:
And now let me refer moment
to the furry about the treaty with
England. That matter lies in a
nutshell, and will occasion no diff
Guilty whatever. England and the
United States have agreed to leave
their respective claims TO arbitration
of convention. England can not
withdraw from that arbitration
without simple reputation of honor,
honesty, and public faith. Englap 1
will never do that, and it will be d
backing out from all that England
has upheld in century. If she
did, we should not be the sufferers.
We would be only where we were
before. England will not back out.
She will only protest against the
claims for indirect damages. The
result will be the arbitrators will
throw out those claims, and we shall
be allowed full damages for all the
losses by the Alabama. That will end
the matter. Our citizens will be
paid for all the losses by the Ala
bama. All our difficulties with
England will be settled and the
peace ofnations remain undiSturbed
The treaty was in fact, and will
remain, one of the laurels of the
Grant administration, and though
Mr.. Sumner, or we or anybody,
should for our own reasons quarrel
with it, the Grant administration
has administered the government
for the general welfare, which is
both in fact and theory the object of
government, -. s.s.

CoNTENTED JOHN.


One honest John Tomkins, bedger and ditcher,
Although he was poor, did rot want to be richer
For all such vain withes to him were prevented,
By fortunate habit Of being conteGted.
Though cold were the weather. or dear were the
food,
J ohm never was found in n mnrmuring mood;
For this he was constantly heard to declare
What he could not prevent he would chcsrfulIy
bear.
''For why should grumble and mnrmur :" he said:
'If cannot got meat, I'll be thankful for bread;
And though fretting may make my calsmities
deeper,
1t never cas- cause bread and cheeso to be cheaper
If John were afflicted with sickness or pain,
he wished himself better, but did not complain,
Nor lie down to fret in despondencs or sorrow,
But said that he hoped to be better o-m9rrow.
If any one wronged him or treated him Ill,
Why, John was good -natured and slciable still:
For he said that revenging the injury d nc
Would be making two roglss where thsre need bo
but one. -....

APRoPOs OF the nomination OF
David Davis, the editor of the In
dianapolis Journal, who is diligent
Biblical student, finds a prophetic
significance in the following verses
from the First Book of Samuel
"David therefore departed thence,
and escaped to the Cave AddulIam;
and when his brethren and all his
fathers house heard it, they went
down thither to him.
And every one that was in distress,
and every one that was in debt, and
every one that was disconnected,
gathered themselves unto him; and
he became captain over them, and
there were with him about fCu1

A Joke OH the Doctors.

An exchange says: "The worst
joke that was ever perpetrated on
scientific men took place recently al
Louisiana, Mo. A man was sick
with rheumatism, or something, and
fellow went around to the doctors
and professors and things, and told
them that it was the queerest case
on record. He said the man had
no feeling. You could stick pins in
his body all over, and he paid no
attention to them at all. He was
perfectly numb. So the doctors got
together and called on the sick man
to experiment. All arrived with
pins and needles and bodkins. The
man was asleep and they got around
him, and each one stuck his pin in
the patient. The sick man rolled
over and looked at the crowd, and
thought they had come to dissect
him, so he took chair in one hand
and bed-post in the other, and
drove the crowd thence. They are
around with their heads tied up,
looking for the man who said that
sick man had no feeling"

Northern Pacific Railroad not
Liable to be Obstructed by

Northern Pacific Railroad not
Liable to be Obstructed by
Snow. sa
W. NJ. Roberts, Chief Engineer of
the Northern. Pacific Railroad, has
Just published very interesting re-
port on the liability of that road to
obstruction by snow, to which sub.
ject public attention has been called
by the recent severe experience of
the Union Pacific. Mr.. Roberts
gives it as his opinion, based on
careful observations during the
present severe winter, and the expe-
rience of past winters on the route
of the Northern Pacific, "that with
! we'll constructed fences at the most
exposed points, the Northern Pacific
Railroad can atnquestiona6ly be kept
open for regular traffic its entire
length across the continent through
similar ,ointers hereafter, should they
Reports from the region through
which the road will run, show that
the cold has not been near so severe
this winter as in latitudes consider
ably farther south. This is account
ed for by the fact that the elevation
of the mountains is from 1000 to
5000 feet less than those On the
Union Pacific read, which admits of
the passage of warm air from the
Pacific coast, by which the temper
ature is greatly modified. The re-
port concludes I.f ..r . .--.. 1
"These very favorable reports,
during a winter of unprecedented |
severity, cover the most elevated
and mountainous portions of our
line, where obstructions from snow
would occur if anywhere on the
route; and when it, is remembered |
that the distractions on tho Union
Pacific have been virtually confined
to section of $50 miles, every part
of which is at least 900 feet higher
than the highest summit on theI
Northern route, and most of which |
is $500 to 1900 feet higher thapthe
mountain section of equal length on
the Northern Pacific line, it becomes
perfectly safe to predict for the lat
ter as complete IN exemption from
winter blockade as is enjoyed by
railroads in New York and New
England. The valley route and
sheltered position CT the Northern
Pacific line through Montana, pre-
vents, to q great extent, that con-
stant drifting of what snow there is,
which characterizes the more eleVat-
cd routes, and which has been the
chief cause of difficulty on the Union
Pacific. w. MILNoR ROBERTS,
Chief Engineer Northern Pacific

The Ku.KlHx.

The report of tie Ku-KIux Committee
of Congress lately made, reviews at
great length the state Of affairs in the
South from the close of the war to the
present time. considered with reference
to the political status, and the organiza-
tion known as the Ku-Klux Klan. OF
the existence of such an organization
there is no shadow of doubt. and that its
objects are hostility to the Government
against which its members were lately
foemen, and to the enjoyment by the
negro of the rights conferred on him by
the Constitutional Amendments and the
supplementary laws, is equally appa-
rent. The late law is reported as bav-
ing been effective to a very great extent
in checking the ou,rages in North and
South Carolina. The testimony shows
that the Courts and Juries have admin
istered Justice between man and man
very impar,ially in all ordinary cases,
both civil and criminal, but shows as
clearly that it has been almost impossi-
BILE to have redress against those out
RACES by these disguised outlaws and at
night, because of the difficulty of identi-
hcation, the precautions taken by the
order against anything of the kind by

witness stand, or by members or sym
pathizers in the jury box, to say 10th
ing of the paralyzing influence inspired
by their hidden and widespread organ
ization. The Committee recommends the
continuance of the present protective
measures until there appears no doubt
of the actual suppression and disarm-
ing of this widespread and dangerous
conspiracy, and points to the results of
the suspension of writ of habedS corpus
as an example of what good results may
be expected from such policy. 1t is
also recommended that the power con-
ferred on the President be continued un-
til the end of the next session of Con-
gress.
Now that we have such report from
a Congressional Committee it is hoped
Congress will take such measures as
their investigations have shown will be
followed by the proper protection of the
lately enfranchised, no doubt ignorant,
hut still well meaning aud powerful
class who have doubtless been too often
made the tools of educated knaves for
the worst political purposes, o. well as
the victims of the most diabolical per-
sonal outrages.

No person ever really feels any ration

wrong intrinsically. We venerate the
name of Washington, and no ono ques-

sincerity of his patriotism, or the purity
of his religion, and our respect for his
memory is not lessened in the slightest
degree by the fact recorded in the histo-
ry of his life by Irving, that he some
times took part in the amusement of
dancing.
1t is agreed on all hands that amuse-
ment is necessary, and may be indulged
in properly even by those who are not

Every town of any size in Iowa is
now literally filed with corn, stored
up in huge cribs, awaiting the open
ing of navigation. Chicago is block
ed with grain, and the consequence
is, that there is blockade all over
Iowa. As an example, at Ames--a
town of less than 1000 inhabitants
there is stored nearly 100000
bushels of ear corn, bought at from
16 to Is cents per bushel. The same
is true all over the State.
