How the 4Alabama" Mas Saved.

John Bassett Moore In Harper's Maya.
xine for May: II is perhaps not generally
known that the Alabama, in spite of the
omission of the English customs authori-
Mtves to seize her, might In the end have
bNen detained but for an act OF wifely de-
voMon. On the 22d and oath OF July, 1862,
evi6Nnce directing i~nculpating the vessel
was communicated by the American lega-
ton in London to the British foreign Of
nee. On the Esd and 26th Of July the pa
pers we've referred to the law offices OF
the crowM and as the law officers had no
permanent office. were sent as usual TO
the senior officer. who was then Sir John
Dorney Harding, queens advocate, his
associates bcinE Sir william Atherton. at
torney general, and Sir Rounded Palmer,
afterward Lord selborne, solicitor general.
Unfortunately. sir John Harding a just
then fallen q vicEim TO an acute mental
disorder. which pNoved TO be fatal, but
which his wife. In Nhe hope that Ii would
soon pass away. han kept a secret. Upon
che decision 70 be rendered by the law Of
0cers there hung ~perchance the issues OF
peace and war and the fate OF nations;
but the papers lay unNxnmined at Sir
Johns residence, apparently, TIL the 2sth
OF July, when the foreign office. growing
anxious az the delay. but ignorant OF its
cause, took steps 10 recover them and
placed them In the HAMS OF Sir William
Atbertcu. On the eveIing OF the same
Gay, Sir William. ~pcrceiving the gravity
ef this situation which tile papers disclosed,
0aliAd Sir Roundali palmer into aansnlta-
ton upon them In the earl marshars room
In the house OF lords. They at once agreed
that the vessel must De seized. An opin-
ion TO that effect was delivered to Earl
Russell on the u@rning OF tho 18th OF
July: but during b night OF the 18th the
Alabama left ne docks In which she had
been lying. At 10 o'clock on the morning
Of the ~th she put to sea. The order TO
tssain her reached Liverpool In the after
noon.

MAKING VOTERS
Applicants Think Board Should Be in Session
 More Hours.

The board of registration made for-i ty-seven electors from noon until 1:3O o'clock this afternoon. They will hold another session from 5 until 8 this evening. A good deal of faultanding was heard to-day on account of the short session. The opinion appeared to be general that the board should make the sessions as long as possible and thus accommodate all no matter what time they show up. According to statutory provision they cannot do business after 8 o'clock in the even ing, but they could be on deck up to that time every evening. People who work in the shops cannot reach the City hall by ' o'clock. By the time man gets home from his work, washes mp, changes his wearing apparel, has supper and gets down town, he would not stand much show of being made unless the board remained at its post until 8 o'clock. The proper thing fol working people to do is to crowd into the city court room as quickly as they can reach there and refuse to leave until they are made. The, members of the board receive $10 for their ser. vices and they should be obliged to put in at least eight hours. Natural ization papers will be issued every day and evening in the courthouse on Lea venworth street up to Friday night. There is not much time left now and it behooves all to be on the move.
