That the French republican party has
frustrated an attempt to form an alliance be-
tween Russia and France, of which the basis
was the return of the Provinces Of Alsace
and Lorraine, is scarcely a credible story.
This projected alliance is probably an
invention of the newsmongers, start
ing from the evidently hostile tone
Gently held toward Russia. Russia is not
likely to make such o bargain. Germany
(apart from personal family ties and polit-
ical aristocratic sympathies of its rulers,
which would incline to peace) is too power
full for Russia to lightly quarrel with her.
If ever France regains her lost territory it
must be at more favorable opportunity
and by the martial prowess of her own peo-
pie. Where, however, an alliance is possible
though somewhat unlikely at present, is be-
tween Russia and England. At the close of
the session of Parliament Mr.. Gladstone
the Emperor Alexander and sharply dep
recated the attacks politically made on his
government. He showed how, since his &C
cession, he has carried out policy of peace ;
that his rule has been loyal and benefcent
to his people; that he has given freedom to
the serfs and been great promoter Of edu-
cation throughout his vast Empire. These
observations are just, and We cannot under
stand how, with his repeatedly expressed
friendliness to England and with whose
Queen he has very close family ties, there
should, both in Parliament and out of Par
lament, be used such expressions of distrust
and fears of Russian intrigues, ambition and
autocrntic power. If there can exist between
the United States and Russia q sincere
friendship, while one is the freest country
in the world and the other is somewhat un-
duly characterized as being the one most
despotically governed, what is there to pre-
vent political alliance and friendship be-
tween England and Russia? There need be
no jealousy, for the East is vast enough for
both; their armies Gf, in comparison, you
may call the English forces an army and
their navies need never meet except in cour-
teous amity. They are both Christian ma
tions, and although some consideration in
treating Turkey, out of compliment to her
forty millions of Mussulmans in India, NAV
be excused, yet we do not see how Eng
lands government can continue to run
counter to the expressed opinions of
many of her leading statesmen, her
clergy, her vast body OF middle class popu-
lation, in bolstering up the Turkish rule
which is an anomaly in civilized Europe
Why might not England and Russia cor
daily unite in establishing the autonomy of
the present insurgent provinces. and agree
on some policy, remodelling the map of
Europe, by giving larger area to Greece +?
The Turk must 60, and let them commence
by reducing his hold merely to his Mussul-
man subjects, freeing Egypt and Palestine
from his grasp, and preparing for the not
distant evacuation of Constantinople, which
city. to the discredit of civilization, he has
held too long. Whatever political comb ma
tions may then take place civilization will
certainly be the gamer.

GxNIRAL JAMES WATSON WEBB, whose
father. Major Samuel Webb, was one Of
General Washington's aides during the de-
fence Of New York in 1776, and for long
time afterward, sends us communication
touching the services of the distinguish ed
soldier whose son he is, and embodies in it
some invaluable extracts from Major Webb's
journal. These memoranda will be read
with especial interest at this time, when the
centennial of the unsuccessful defence of
New York leads us all to recall the earlier
and darker periods of our history.

The DEsrRUCTIvENEss OF THE FIRE in
South and Front streets yesterday morning
was mainly owing to the delay in giving the
alarm. Nothing could have been more fool
ish than for few men to neglect to give the
alarm in the hope of extinguishing the fire
themselves, and yet such was the course
pursed during the first stages of the burning
of Ockershausens sugar refinery and much
adjacent property.

INADEQUATE PUNISHMENT and pernicious
definitions Of the law Of homicide led to
another probable but "unpremeditated"
murder yesterday. Two men, one Of them
, deputy sheriff, suddenly quarrelled, and
while the one was attempting to strike the
other he was stabbed, perhaps fatally. This
readiness to use the knife is becoming ter
rible danger to the community and yet we
seldom hear that offenders of this kind are
punished.

rIOul tIle NltlZen or May Oth:
 There Is perhaps breed of dogs some- whe.e in the word that me- its some favor or admiration, but the Tucson breed Is enough To disgust oue De. maAe.itiy with the whole race. There isn't anything evea fulny in them. They are hung.y, squa.id, mean, treacherOus, sneaking and cowardly. And notwithstanding tine efforts of the city au- thoritles to reduce their numbers, they mui- uply Tn the most mysterious manner, We venture D say that the food fed to and con- sumed by the miserable mongrel CUTS of Tucson, daily, if sold and the proceeds put at interest ih d savings bank and the bank didn't fail and everything went smoothly, 1 that it would pay the national debt in cou. st of time. It would take time, certainly Every thing takes time. These dog. are the curse of existence in Tucson. Let the nights be Italian in their loveliness; let the star light glow with such tranScedant lucidity that the summer nights are lasting twilight; let the etheiid! atmosphere float circumam- bient: let there be soft strains of music on the ail; let the eyes of the enamored youth explore the fathom!eSs depths of dark Span ish or sweeter Saxon maidens, orbcs; let lifetime of happiness and contentment be ready to be crowded into one shoit southern night, and suddenly the air will be enlivend by thousand howl> from d surrounding multitude of wretched dogs and all happi- ness and even desire for life vanishe. from the place and scene.

Heretofore, We had to pack our blankets and find food and lodging just where we could pick it up, but now you are lief: at the Dudley House, in connection with which are three houses, with from four 10 six rooms in each furnish ed in elegant style and in a manner to suit the most fastidious.
 The hotel is kept on the European plan and is under the efficient management of Mir. J. G. Dudley, ca.erer of lifelong experience, and the table is supplied with all the sub stantials and delicacies, which are placed be- fore you in such excellent style as to tempt the most epicurean taste.

The law is very stringent against those who either purposely or orcarelessly set on fire the woods or grass, and yet il has been done and fires are raging in the mountains and on the plains on both sides of the Granite range, destroying not only the pasturage, but the timber that should be protected and pre- served for future use. The fire that is de- vouring the heavy forest near Thumb Butte came up from the direction of Skull Valley, and the residents there should take steps to prosecute whoever set it going, whether on purpose or by negligence.

FROM SANTA MARIA.-Fred Valentine re- turned on Tuesday from the dry diggings on Santa Maria, and exhibited 10 us some thir- teen ounces of fine looking dust, which he has been taking out with his drywashing machine. He informs us that they have taken out about $500 since the dirt became dry enough to wash; and now he proposes to set several machines to work and employ a large number of men. His machines have proven perfec. success, and he says he can work nearly as much dirt through one as through an ordinary sluice.
