EBagland end the Alabama Cintms, The English feel very uneasy »bout the Alabama claims, The dignified and indopen- dent attitude which the government of the United States has £0 persisteutly maintained upon that important question ought to have convinced the British government long ago that a settled poiut of our national policy is to have ample reparation for the injuries inflicted on @ir commerce and our cause throngh the action and influence of England during the American civil war. Whether the account be seltled next year or within the next decade, or not, Englishmen may as well understand at once what Americans haye long knowa full well, and that is that any administration at Washington, whether democratic er republi- can, that would attempt to depart from the carefully considered popular conviction on the Alabama question would be speedily and suc- cessfully impeached, and that no Congress representing the popular will would ratify any treaty that did not provide at least full in- demnity for the private property destroyed on the high seas by armed vessels starting from British ports to prey upon the commerce of a country with which Great Britain, under solemn stipulations, was at peace, The Lnglish press keeps up an interminable talk about this question, which bas been already so thoroughly discussed. Our de- spatches stute that the London Zines of Wed- nesday morning revives the subject of the Alabama negotiations, and endeavors to de- monstrate that England had made great con- cessions and could make no more. It says the Clarendon treaty “abounded ia conces- sions,” that many Englishmen thought ‘ihe genial, exuberant Johnson had outwiited Clarendon,” and that the treaty ‘yielded too much.” The Zimes ignorantly assumes that “the rejection of the treaty by the United States Senate was due to political irritability,” and asserts that ‘England now stands free of all blame.” It is useless for the Zimes or any other English organ to persist in endeavoring to mislead the British public on so vital a question as the Alabama claims, The Zimes was wrong from the first in its reports and comments concerning the rebellion, and it is equally in error in the present instance, Tho rejection of the treaty by the Senate was not due to political irritability, but was in accord- ance with the sober judgment and universal sentiment of the American people, who fully understand the Alabama question, England will not stand acquitted of all blame by the Times saying 60; the American people have something to say upon that point, We repeat, the mind of the nation is m:de up upon the Alabama question. General Grant docs not appear to be in any haste just now to press the issue; but when the proper time arrives we feel assured that he will find some way of satisfying England that she must make more concessions than those proposed ia the Claren- don-Johnson treaty, and that if ample apology and complete indemuity are not accorded through a treaty we shall find some othor means of obtaining satisfaction for the un- friendly action which at once destroyed so much private property and swept our com- merce from the sea, A Request vo Mr. BourweL.. —The Chicago Tribune (vepublican organ) wants Secretary Boutwell to explain in his annual report, which he is now preparing, if he cannot do so sooner, why the interest on the various Pacific Rail- road bonds, guaranteed by the government, and heretofore regularly paid, has never been collected from the companies.

The frightful and exhaustive war in Europe threatens to leave the people of Francs, at English Opinion of France and Napoleon. least, and probably of Germany, with a short supply of materials for food. A large part of France is desolated and production partly suspended, A large portion of the men who cullivate the soil, in both countries, have been taken away from their employment to fight each other, The consumptioa of food by the vast masses of men under arms is enormous, All these things together make the food question an linportant oue, The only country in Europe Uaat will be able to supply the foreign demand is Russia, and to do this for Germany she oc- cupies a favorable position, But our own country has a greater superabundance of breadstuffs and otber articles of food than Russia, ‘To us the French particularly should look for supplies. Tho transportation is as cheap, if not cheaper, from America to France as from Russia. We think, indeed, that dur- ing the winter season, at least, transportation to the German porisfrem America will cost as lide as from the Baltic or by railroads from the interior of Russia, We throw out these hinis to our provision morchants and shippers, and advise them to bo looking to Wurope for a market, Papal Claim for City Im- provements, Terrible Railroad Accident in South Carolina— Several Persons Killed and Injured.

This well known society, which claims to be the pioneer and guardian of muste in America, broke the silence tn which it has long been enveloped and gave us & specimen yesterday of what we may ex. pect from it this season. The audience was ex- tremely limited in number and the programme utterly unsatisfactory, When such a society as the Philharmonic presents for its opening bill only three orchestral works, and tiese to some degree hack- neyed, it falls very short of the high expectations formed of it. The three works are Beethoven's Bighth symphony, the unsnisued symphony (io movémenis) of Schubert and the irrepressivie overture to “Tamhauser.”” ‘These coustitute she or- chestral progtumme for the first concert, and every musician cannot help being disappointed. There are magniticent materials im the society to make it everything it claims, but a lamentaple absence of management, espectally ta the arrangement of tho programines. Tue turee works cbove mentioned caunot, of course, be found fault wiih on the score of intrinsic merit, but they are not what the most ardent admirers of the Philharmonic Society would look floras an, opening programme at he present ume It 1% bad cnough for such a society to reinain silent nearly three months of the regular amusement season, without giving us for the first sampiec a stereotyped bill. When Theo- dore ‘Khomas gave lls symphony soirées here his enterprise and go-ahead eathusiasm acted as a spur to the Philharmonic Society, and woke it up from its Rip Van Winkle slumber amid the misty pro- grammes of the past. Now that we are utierly desii- tute of music, since Nilsson left us, the society should not retrograde. Whoever has been ap- pointed for this season to select appropriate works lor the concerts must exercise a little more judg- ment and care, or clse the society will fall back into the Slough of Despond from which Sts late energetic president, Proiessor Doremus, raised it, We are too much Interested in the advancement of the divine art of music in thls city not to express our (et Philharmonic Re- indignation at such backsliding on the part of the chief representative organization In America. Mr. 8. B, Mills wili play at the first concert, and as appearances are at present it is likely that he will pe the only Teature at that concert. Wedo not expect the music committee to catch eagerly at every new- fangied essay in orchestration, but we want them to make up a better bill from the boundiess fleld before them.
