THE ALABAMA CHAINS AND
OUR GOVERNMENT.

General Banks reported TO the House COM
mittee on Foreign Affairs yesterday morning
the result of his interview on Friday with
Secretary Fish, relative to the withdrawal OF
our claim for indirect damages in the Geneva
case, and also submitted a letter giving more
definitely the position Of this government
and depreciating any agitation OF the subject
by Congress at the present time. The publ
cation here of the counter case of the United
States presented at Geneva on the 10Th has
produced very favorable impression among
prominent official circles. From it clearer
idea of the actual position OF this govern
ment upon the whole question is gradually
gaining ground, and appears likely in due time
to make some impression upon Congress.
The attitude Of the United States govern
ment from the FIRST may be briefly stated as
follows: 1t has been peaceful and concilia-
tory. The claim for indirect damages were
put in in the general interest of the civilized
world for the sake of the principles involved,
and not because we expected to get them, and
we shall not be greatly dissatisfied nor disap-
pointed if they are not allowed.
The treaty expressly comedies to each
government the right to prepare its own case,
and no correspondence like that now going
on between the department of State and the
English foreign minister can change the
treaty between the Queen and the President.
The treaty, moreover, fails to provide for
any change of its case by either party, and
had the claims for indirect damages been
committed they would have been forever
barred by the tribunal. In this state of facts
the President assented to the inclusion of the
consequential claims in our case and there
they may be regarded as certain to remain
Mr. Schenck will be fully advised at an early
day of the position of this government, which
has at no time been more firmly established.

Amongst the symptoms of consumption
which present themselves as the disease pro-
crosses, are cold chills, cough, shortness of
breath, restlessness at night, loss of appetite,
loss of flesh, night sweats, hectic expectora-
ton of white mucous, pellets, also yellow and
blush or gray matter, sometimes streaked
with blood burning pains in the chest, diar-
rhpa, general prostration and incapacity for
the ordinary duties of life. As the patient
becomes reduced, other complications appear
and he rapidly sinks. A remarkable and
very common physical sign among consump-
tives is their exemption from alarm; notwith-
standing the dangerous character of their
disease they believe in ultimate recovery.
This very confidence prevents the patient
from resorting to the only means of cure,
and that watchfulness necessary in so critical
time, until finally they lapse into hopeless
recovery. Like the first adventurous boat
man who rowed down from Erie; broad and
smooth was the river, rapid in progress, and
pleasant his anticipations. Alas, the tide
which drifted him so rapidly was one of de-
structiOn, and when he would retrace his way
he found the current too strong to stem, and
that he drew nearer every instant to the
mighty Niagara. Down, down he was car.
ried amidst the seething spray, and with his
bark was dashed to pieces.

ri twine my harp with fairest flowers
And sing to thee, . DEATH
Who contest mid the waning hours
To take the mortal breath.
O Death Of thee they cannot know,
Who know not, too, Of life;
Who have not drank its deepest woe,
Nor seen its sharpest strife.
They wish not, In thy charge untried,
Their helpless souls to place;
Nor In thy stranger arms would hide
Nor thy cold embrace.
But they whose hearts lie still and dead
In sorrows winding-sheet:
Whose vital spark Of hope Ia fed
Arc wont thy face to greet.
They know thy sacred atmosphere
Familiar is thy mien;
To such the spirit-realm seems near;
And near, thy gate between.
Where thee, o tender. solemn guide
With golden keys, they see;
Which ope the place where each shall bide
In calm eternity.
And to thine arrows sharp yet kind,
They bear the Oft torn breast;
With pale smile saying Blessed wound
This last shall heal the rest
Though love and friendship fail and die
And all men turn our foes;
On thee we surely can rely,
And find, at length, repose.
If, now, of that for which I've lived,
No part my eyes shall see;
This night, as with friend most proved.
I'd fly, Q Death, with thee!
But if my way, though crossed and dark,
Holds somewhat that 1 saw:
fain on earth for years would work -
y then the soul withdraw
Those white lambs feeding yon a space,

TIL thou my spirit feet unloose,
With thy magnetic touch.
Fun well know thy two.fold dart,
When living hopes are slain;
But should speak the mourner's heart,
Too sad would grow my strain.
