THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
The Sage Of Auburn.

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-An interview
with ex-Secretary Seward at Auburn yester-
day ELECTED his opinions on the Washington
treaty. He considers thata great omission
exists in the present treaty in that it does
not insist upon an apology by England for
the Queens proclamation, but that war
with England is impossible, and that the
time for the settlement of the Alabama
claims has not yet arrived. Tie demand
for a sum of money for consequential dan-
ages is, in his opinion, beneath the dignity
of our Government.
The ThUuderer.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Times discuss
ing the Alabama case, says England will
pay nothing, save what it is required to in
obedience to the decision of the Geneva
tribunal. She never dreamed of offering
any agreement of terms to settle difficulties
outside of the treaty. If the treaty is a
failure it is the fault of the American gov
eminent.

GOOD WRITER'S.

An exchange paper properly says: Zone
of the most important qualifications of a
good writer for the press, is to know what
not TO write; and a good editor to know
what not TO print. It would be severe but
well-deserved punishment to some who com
plain that their communications are mutt
lated by editors, if they would publish them
Just as they are written with AL their errors
and crudities of style! A few such morti-
flying exposures would no doubt be salutary
in curing both conceit and peeyish COM
piaints.

THE SEA is rapidly encroaching on 1ytee
Island, near Savannah. On the eastern end,
where the old beacon-light formerly stood,
the sea has washed away the sand banks so
tbat the brick foundation is visible TO its
base. The ravine in which the Confederate
troops drilled in 1861 is now salt water
pond during high tides. The remains of
the United States soldiers who fell victims
to the cholera in 1868 are exposed to view
by the shifting of the sand, which has laid
bare their shallow graves.

The New York San makes the following
telling point on the course of Grant and his
friends towards the Germans:
''The rspacity of Grants relations and
cronies who have been engaged in schemes
Of plumber, is only equalled by the iudiscre-
ton of his apologists, who in their malig-
nant stacks on the distinguished Senators
favOring reform, have permitted their
rage TO overcome the dictates of
common sense. When the New York
Times speaks of Senator Schurz as a man
who left his country for bis country's good,
It insults every German ofliberal principles
in the United States; but even the Times
is outdone in decency by one Of Grants
Washington organs, the Republican, when
It calls the Germans 'Hessiaa hordes, ever
ready to follow where plunder promises to
reward the treason Of patrol patriots like the
surly Schurz.' The survivors Of Schurz's
Division Of the Eleventh Army Corps will
feel especially cOmplimented by this Ian
guage, coming from journal under the
direct inspiration of the President"
