The evidence increases that the Presidents
partisans in the Senate, aided by Gen. Butler
in the House, are plotting to prevent the pas
sage of the necessary Appropriation bills I'M
less the power to suspend the writ of Habeas
Corpus throughout the country is conferred
upon the President to be used during the can
vass. 1t would seem that so gross and cynical
an improperly could not for moment endure
the test of publicity and discussion. Yet we
are told that the President, through his Aide
de- Camp, was yesterday urging the measure
personally upon the Representatives as a
party necessity. There are some very good
people who think there is no need Of limiting
the President to one term. Can they not see in
q single act like like this, the terrible temptation
of q reelection to a President in officef 1t is
rather too much to expect of ordinary human
nature that it should retain its perfect integ
rity of judgment in such cases. But we own
we should be somewhat surprised if Gen.
Grant should call an extra session to have
himself made Dictator.

great fight between Temperance and Intemperance,
now going vigorously on in England. If he had

opposite view. In answer to on invitation TO attend

1t seems it was not mere figure OF speech
when the critics of the Administration said
that the military occupants of the Executive
Mansion regarded the Government as their
private estate. A witness from the War De-
partment yesterday testified that all the
brigade, division, corps, and army headquarter
reports were missing, supposed to have been
carted off to London by Gen. Badeau, the
prose laureate of the President. The friendly
relations among tho Presidents military fam
lily are certainly very pleasing to contemplate;
but this wholesale plumber of the pigeon-holes
is carrying the joke rather too far. Perhaps
Mr.. Badeau could be given the General Order
business here, and Mr.. Leet could take his
place in London. We really ought in some
way to get those documents back into the
country.

Walking.
V. H. H.

Walking bright, with an exciting ob- iect of pleasurable interest ahead, is the most healthful of all forms of exercise except that of eneouragingly remunera- tive, steady labor in the open air and yet multitudes in the city, whose health urgently requires exercise, seldom walk when they can ride, if the distance is . mile or more. It is worse in the country, especially with the well-to-do; a horse or carriage must be brought to the door even if less distances have to be passed. Under the conditions. first named walk ing is bliss it gives animation to the mind, it vivifes the circulation, it paints the cheek and sparkles the eye, and wakes up the whole being, physical, mental, and moral. We know a family of children in this city, who, from the age of seven, had to walk nearly two miles to school, winter and summer whether sleet, or storm, or rain, or burn ing sun, they made it an ambition never to stay away from school on account of the weather, and never to be "late ; and one of them was heard to boast that in seven years it had never been neces- sary to give an ss ssexcuse" for being one minute behind time, even although in winter it was necessary to dress by gas. light. They did not average two days sickness in year, and later they thought nothing of walking twelve miles at a time in the Swiss mountains. Some. times they would be caught in drench- ing rain, and wet to the skin /; on such occasions they made it point to do one thing, let it rain, and trudged or more vigorously until every thread was dry before they reached home.-HaWs Jour a0L 0f Health.

The First Lover.

Jacob, the last of the Hebrew patrl- archs, is one of the first lovers, in point of time, to whom we are introduced Judged by modern standard, his conduct in the ordinary affairs of life was far from blameless. It was not quite fraternal in him to buy his older brothers birthright for mess of pottage, when poor Esau was starving; nor was it altogether filial to obtain by fraud from his aged and blind father the blessing of the first born. His loyalty and devotion to Rachel, how ever, compensate for many defects, and we cannot withhold our sentimental ad- miration from the lover who served four teen years to obtain the wife of his choice and a comfortable independence. After serving seven years for his true mistress, and then having her sister Leah put off upon him by trick, it is as creditable as it is singular that he should have had the amiability and patience to repeat his ser vice for the possession of Rachel, In these days Jacob would have acted very differently, I fear. He would have re- garded his first seven years as entirely lost; would have quarreled with Leah, even procuring divorce if necessary, and, angry with the whole Laban family, would have left Rachel, so far as he was con cerned, to pine in single blessedness. Masculine constancy must have sadly de- teriorated since that good old time; men now will hardly tarry seven weeks for any one wife when so many other wives may be had. Take pattern by Jacob, ye unstable lovers, learn to labor and to wait !-GalG1y.

The Alabama Case.

The following note accompanied the counter case delivered to the Board of Arbitration at Geneva, on behalf of Great Britain
 The undersigned is instructed by her Majesty's government to say, while pre- sent1ng their counter-case under the special reservation hereinafter mention ed they find it incumbent upon them to inform the arbitrators that misunder- standing has unfortunately arisen be- tween Great Britain and the United States touching the nature and extent of the claims referred to in the treaty o1 Washington. The misunderstanding relates to claims for indirect losses under three heads:
 1. Loss in the transfer of American shipping to the British flag.
 2. Loss from the enhanced insurance.
 3. Loss from prolongation of the war.
 The claims for indirect losses are not admitted by her Majesty's government to be within the scope and intention oi the arbitration. Her Majesty's govern. ment have been and still are in core sponaence with the government of the United States in relation thereto. As that correspondence has not been brought to final issue her Majesty's government desire that the arbitration shall proceed with reference to claims for direct loss. They have thought ii proper, meantime, to present counter case, which is strictly confined to direct claims, in the hope that the unfortunate misunderstanding may be removed.
 Her Majesty's government hereby ex. pressly and formally notify the arbitra. ton that the counter-case is presented without prejudice to the position assum. ed by her Majesty's government in the correspondence whereto reference has been made, and under express reserva tion of all her Majesty's rights in the event of difference continuing to exis between the parties.
 If necessary further communication will be made to the arbitrators.
