that on account of some trouble with the heat
ing apparatus at the Jail, that institution is so
cold that the prisoners are suffering. They find
it impossible to keep warm even with the thick

Perry, but the County Commissioners should
take measures at once to have the defects rem

And we most earnestly solicit space to reply,

and regulations affecting and governing the fol-
lowing objects: 1st appointments to and re-
movals from public office; I'd, salaries, perqui-

of private books and papers. The petition sets
forth some of the considerations which ought

abuses and immoralities growing out of the

PORTLAND AHEAD."-The Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin, after rehearsing the movements
made in this city for the promotion and increase
of manufacturing enterprises, and the propos-
ed exemption of manufacturing capital from
local taxation, comments, under the heading
we have quoted, as follows:
That the concession will attract important
enterprises to Portland, there can be no doubt,
and her citizens are to be congratulated upon
this philosophical action of their municipal
authorities. But the movement has not been
confined to Portland, nor even to the State of
Maine. 1t is spreading; and every day we note
that some town or city is holding out induce
ments for manufacturers to settle within its
limits This is indeed progress, such will
build up our skilled labor interests There caE-
not be too many of these local boards of manu-
features scattered over the country. They will
develop home industry with wonderful rapidity,
and their effect upon the general prosperity will
be inestimable.
The board of manufactures of Portland is just
now directing its attention to the subject of en-
couraging iron manufactures and especially the
building of iron ships We anticipate a good
result from this action, although Portland's en-
terprise in this line is yet in its infancy.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
LONDON, JAN 1.-The London Times. refer
ring to the rumors that the United States will
make exorbitant demands before the Geneva
board for indemnity for losses by the Alabama
and other vessels, processes to believe that the
American Government has no such intention
and that its main desire is to obtain public ac-
acknowledgement that the position it took and the
remQnstranoes 1t made during the war were
founded on reason The Times says it is desir-
able that no encouragement should be given to
belligerents to bring extravagant claims against
neutrals for constructive injuries,
The Cologne Gazette asserts that the United
States claim an enormous amount for indemni-
ty so that when deductions are made they NAV
receive handsome sum. This the Gazette de-
nounces as an artful and unworthy trick, but it
Is not sorry that the only two nations which fur
nlshed supplies to France during the war with
Germany are now similarly set by the ears.
SOCIAL IMPROVEMENT MEASURES,
Hon. Edward Cardwell, Secretary of State
for War, addressed his constituents at Oxford
yesterday. Abiding to the illness of the Prince

out the strong reciprocal sympathy which al
ways existed between constitutional sovereign
any free people. He minated that the at
tenton of Parliament would be directed to So
cial measures for the improvement and welfare
of the people.
