No actual progress Beams to have Ixsen niaJe Inwards bringing our claims upon Ungland for lie depredations of the Alahama to a conclu sive hearing. The correspondence between ifiie tiro GrovernmenU shows not only that no progress has been made, but that the position iaken respectively by the two Governments lendors it almost impossible that any should e made towards a settlement by arbitration. When, the new British Ministry came into power, one of the first acts of Lord Stanley Was to reverse Karl Russell's action, and to Inform our Government that he was willing lhus to attempt the adjustment of these claims. Mr. Seward, in reply, said that we phonld expect the recognition of the Southern Confederates as belligerents by the English Government to be alao submitted to arbitra tion. This was peremptorily refused by the Bri tish Secretary; and in.the course of the cor respondence which ensued, Lord Stanley said that the precise question on which Great Bri tain was ready to go to arbitration was, 'whether in the matters connected with the Vessels, out of whose depredations the claims Of American citizens have arisen, the course pursued by the British Government, and those V?ho acted upon its authority, was such as Would involve a moral responsibility on the part of the British Government to make good, either in whole or in part, the losses of Ame rican citizens." Mr. 8eward virtually authorized the accept ance of this proposition as sufficiently ooinpre fcensive, but with the understanding that the Government of the United States "would deem itself at liberty to insist before the arbiter that the actual proceedings and rela tions of the British Government, its officers, agents, and subjects, towards the United States in regard to the Rebellion and the Rebels, as they occurred during that Rebel lion, are among the matters which are con nected with the vessels whose depredations are complained of." This of course implied that, in prosecuting tur claims for losses by the Alabama, we Should feel at liberty to urge the recognition Of the Confederates as belligerents by the British Government, as among the grounds of Cur claim inasmuch as it was one of the reasons for the depredations of the Alabama. Nr. Seward sought thus to bring "recogni tion" into the case, if not as a matter for direct arbitration, as one of the reasons for claiming damages for other acts. The latest letter of Lord Stanley distinctly Refuses to admit this construction of his former proposal. lie Bays that the British Govern ment "cannot depart, directly or indirectly, from their former refusal to refer to a foreign power to determine whether the policy of re cognizing the Confederate States as a bellige rent power was or was not suitable to the circumstances of the time when the negotia tion was made." Any arbitration that is Lad must proceed "on the assumption that an actual state of war existed between the Government of the United States and the Confederate States," and it would be for the arbiter to decide whether, on that assumption, there had been any such failure of duty on the part of the British Government as would jnake them responsible for losses by the Ala Lama and other vessels of her class. This despatch bears date November 15; What reply it has received we have yet to learn. It seems clear, however, that the arbi tration cannot proceed on the basis proposed Ly Mr. Seward. Whether that proposed by the British Government, which does not strike US as illiberal, shall be accepted, or whether other measures shall be resorted to to obtain redress, is a point which will soon demand the decision of our Government. Tb Coming Political Revolution at Home. Jfrom the iV. Y. Herald. At the time of the Connecticut State election last spring, when the Republicans put a hum Lug showman upon their ticket for Congress, We predicted that the people, already begin ning to be dissatisfied with the policy of the radicals, would repudiate the party thus abusing its power and reject the whole of its Candidates. The result verified our predic tion, and the rebuke administered to the Re publicans was so severe that we at once dis covered in it the indication of a coming politi cal revolution throughout the country, directed against the atrocious legislation of the radical Congress. In the elections that followed in Maine and California, and subse quently in l'ennsylvania and Ohio, this revo lution began to take form and substance, and, despite the desperate efforts ot the Republi cans to aocount for their sudden reverses on the plea of local issues, or the indifference of their supporters, occasioned by over confidence in their own strength, it became evident that 9. deep feeling was at work among the people, and it seemed as if the doom of radicalism Were already sealed. The tremendous change that followed in the Totes of the States holding their elections in November, and especially the disastrous over throw of the radical State ticket iu New York, and the complete annihilation of the party in the metropolis, put the matter beyond ques tion or dispute, and bo alarmed the radical leaders as to summarily stop the impeachment agitation in Congress. It is clear, how ever,' that the; Republicans still remain re solved upon carrying out their reconstruction policy at the Houth, and will persist in their efforts to bring the Southern States back into the Union under the political control of the Lrutalized and ignorant negro population, in order that they may add to the strength of their party iu the approaching Presidential election. Under these circumstances we predict the Culmination in November uext of the political revolution of which we have already felt the first shock. From all the symptoms that sur round us it is easy to foresee that the violenoe and folly of Congress, in forcing upon the country a policy entirely foreign to our insti tutions, and in conflict with all our ideas of freedom, justice, and generosity, will units the people upon the Democratic and conserva tive nominee for the next Presidency, and that lie will be elected by a large majority. The radicals may hope to save themselves by calling to their aid the great name of General Grant; Lut if that distinguished military leader should accept a nomination upon the African su premacy platform of the present Congress, he Will be defeated at the polls as easily as Chase Or any other candidete would be. , The prin ciples that agitate the country at the present time are stronger than men, nud no personal popularity can for ftu instant blind the eyes of THB DAILYVjS the people to the importance of the Issue. The reconstruction policy to which the radical party promises to adhere is an atrocious out rsco upon civilized society. It degrades the whit rune. and. by civipff political power into I the ; uncontrolled posesssion of hundreds of thousands of ignorant and debased negroes, breaks down all the safeguards of Bouiety, obliterates the progress of half a century, reduces ten States of the Union to a condition of African barbarism, and demoralizes the national Government. It is against this policy that the people will record their votes, and it ia to save the country from these evils that they will defeat the radical Presidential candi date next fall, whoever he may be. We do not believe that General Grant will consent to represent suoh a party or auoh a policy in tne important canvass of next year. lie is snrewd and sagacious, and as he begins to comprehend the coming revolution he is indicating through his nearest friends his uu- Tillincness to stand upon Biich a platform as the radicals are preparing for him. In this he is right, ihe election of lsi4 would be but a repetition of that of 1852, although on a broader and grander scale. Scott, a popular and renowned soldier, was defeated by the almost solid vote of the Union four States only casting their electoral vote for him, although his opponent was a New Hampshire nonentity, unfit for the position, without any political reputation in his own State, and uu known to the rest of the country, The over throw of the radical negro supremacy candi date next year will be as complete as that of the Whig nominee in 1852. It is to be hoped that General Grant may be spared the pain of such a defeat, and that the conservatives and Democrats may put before the country a more desirable man than poor Pierce. In propor tion as their success is assured they owe it to the nation to present none but a patriot and statesman for the suffrages of the people. The Fall In Gold. From the N. Y. Tribune. The decline in the premium on gold to 133, is an advance of the value of the paper dollar of the Government and the banks to 75 cents in gold. Although gold touched 128 on the 11th of May, 18U5, and averaged 130 for a week afterwards, there has been no period &ince July, 1862, when it has stood for a month at as low a figure as it stands now. The principal cause of its present ebb is that the Government has recently paid out about $11,000,000 in gold, and on the first of January will disburse about $20,000,000 more, leaving the net hoard then in the hands of the Sab Treasury but little over $80,000,000 iu gold. which is at least $00,000,000 more than it should be, unless the Government means to use it immediately in resuming specie pay ments. We nave already shown that our Government has twice as large a reserve of gold is proportion to its liabilities as the banks of this country or of England ever re quired to enable them to continue specie pay ments. If the Government should offer to resume to-morrow, it could hardly count and pay out more than $2,000,000 a day in redeem ing the greenbacks which would be presented. Itb customs receipts would amount to half a million a day, leaving the net drain only one and a half millions per day, at which rate it could stand a run upon its gold for li!ty-four days, even if the whole couutry were so insane as to combine against the Treasury and pre sent the last fraction of paper it owed. But it must be apparent that resumption would iu a few days bring paper up to a par with gold. and that after that time no more notes would be presented. Meanwhile, among the other agencies which are contributing to the decline ot gold, is the greater clearness of the political horizon, and the certainty increasing with each passing day that the Southern States are rapidly re organizing on a plan which, if not universally acceptable, will at least be peaceful, and will restore the Union on the sound and immovable basis of equal rights for all meu, whether white or black, ignorant or learned, loyal or disloyal. rich or poor. It is pretty certain, also, that the Kebelhou will have no political martyrs. whose blood might sow the seed for new har vests of malcontents and rebels. Mr. Davis will not be punished for fighting for slavery, nor will tne country be convulsed with a dis placement of the President because he opposes universal suffrage, which is his greatest and sulhcient political crime. It is believed, also. that Congress will give steadiness to the tone of publio discussion, which had run wild on financial questions, and that no inflation of legal-tenders, no repudiative measures, no suicidal onslaught on the national banking business, and no measures calculated to raise the rate of interest and depreciate the market value of the publio securities, will be taken These political causes, with a diminution of imports and increase of exports, are combining. with the release of $30,000,000 of gold from the bub-treasury, to lower the premium, which may reasonably be expected to recede still further before the middle of January. Imported goods and those manufactured from cotton and wool were first affected by the close ot the war and the decline iu gold, and hence dry goods and clothing are among those living expenses which have been first leduced. Provisions and breadstuff remain at about the same prices as iu May, lS(i5, when gold was at its present figure. Rents and real estate will be the last to come down. The uncertainty which prevails on the point whether the Government will do anything towards the resumption of specie payments. still delays business an i represses enterprise in many directions. This state of uncertainty and distrust throws out of employment a large number or operatives and workingmen aud women, and destroys tbu fruits of much labor and toil on our farms and in our mines aud factories. Capital dare not run in debt when the currency in which the debts are to be paid is liable at any moment to be enhanced in value thirty per cent. Business men dare not invest when property, rela tively to money, is liable to fall on their hands by such a ruinous percentage. Labor suffers and starves ou accouut of the paralysis imposed on capital. If specie pay ments were at once aud promptly resumed, few very serious changes in value would take place. The amount of gold which would come into circulation, out of its vaults and hiding places, would more than exceed the quan tity of greenbacks which would be presented for redemption, and retired in consequence of resumption. Our currency, after resumption, would be as great in volume as now, or greater, and, consequently, prices would be nearly the came then in gold as they are now in paper. The business of the community would rapidly expand, every form of private and publio credit would become more extended, aud jet more sound, with a return to specie payments, and our bubiness communities would enter At once on a career of great industry, activity, and proHperity. Under these clrcumstauoes the piimo need of the hour is individual au l national economy, and speedy resumption of specie payments. Hold 0n to your greenbacks. 'JliHir rite in value from this time forth until actual resumption must be as steady and sure as their fall in value under the disastrous in lluciiCC3 of the CLickuhouiiuy campaign aud the other defeats and disasters of the war. Il I who baa the greenbacks ought soon to be abbi to decline the gold. Hard Time No Work. From Ihe If. Y. Tribune. Winter has set in early and sternly; the markets are glutted with fabrics which are selling at low prices; 1867 has been a hard year for the manufacturers and merchants generally, because of a steady decline in the prices of goods, which constrained them to sell for less than the co3t of stock, so that there is generally no profit on the year's busi ness, and often a serious loss. Then the oat ton crop has failed in large districts, and is, on the whole, below the average, while it sells for scarcely half Its price a year ago. Ibe corn crop is also below an average; hence high prices for bread and meat, with no cor responding advantage to the farmers, who cannot buy goods bo freely as they have done. So business slackens where it does not stag nate, and thousands are out of- work. We have complaints of consequent Buffering and rapine in Louisiana, which was desolated by floods in spring, by yellow fever in summer and autumn, and badlyjiamaged by the ariny- worm;'while thousands vainly seek employ ment in this and we presume iu nearly or quite every other city. Hence a very general and well-founded cry of hard times. We believe a prompt return to specie pay ments, while it could not at once dispel the present trouble, and might even aggravate it, would enable us, at no distant day, to over come it. For business pauses because profits have vanished. The manufacturer says, "If I buy stock aud employ labor at present prices, my goods will not reimburse me for the outlay when they are ready to put on the market." In other words, a steadily decliuing market discourages production. But let us go right down to hard-pan, and the manufacturer will say, "Stock and labor are so cheap that I cau take the risk of employing them in the pro duction of goods, which cannot well fall below the rates which resumption has esta blished." Then bricks may be made, lime burned, timber bought, and houses built; while now their erection is checked by the consideration that the structure which cost $14,000 last summer and would cost $12,500 now, will probably be wortu but $10,00U atter we get back to specie payments. Of course, there are those who say, "Don't resume now, for we have bought lauds, or houses, or stock, or goods, ou credit, aud must have time to realize before resumption." But, gentlemen I you must see that thatargu ment, if good at all, will be good forever. The time can never come when there will not be thousands who have ruu into debt ou an in flated currency, and will want resumption to wait till they can get out; or if they did, others would get in fully as deep as tuoy are. It is a falling market that depresses business; let us go at once to the bottom, and we my con fidently look for steady improvement thence forward. But what are the poor to do f For years, under the stimulus of war, with its eager markets and high prices, they have beeu crowding into the cities. We judge that there will be one-third more inhabitants in the cities of the United States on the 1st of Janu ary, 1868, than there wore on the 1st of January, lbbl, while our rural population has scarcely increased at all. Henoe, we have less grain, less cotton, less sugar, less tobacco, to sell abroad than we formerly had; while of manufactures we have scarcely exported any for years till very recently, when the low prices ruling here have caused a moderate re vival of the foreign demand. We hold it impracticable to support bo large an urban population as we now have, at least while our wares and fabrics shall con tinue to be so largely imported. There must be a heavy diversion of our national energies from cities and traffic to rural districts aud farming. We must carve more fields out of forest aud prairie, drain, break up, aud ferti lize old ones, and largely increase the aggre gate product of our soil. We should prefer, indeed, to shut out foreign fabrics, and in crease the products of our furnaces and fac tories; and this, we trust, will, to some extent, be done; but this must be a work of time, and will be powerfully, desperately resisted by a very formidable party; so that the relief from our present trouble that seems nearest and readiest involves a heavy migration from the cities to the farms and prairies. And this canuot commence too soon. General Hancock. From the N. Y. World. The prudence and patriotism with which General Hancock is administering the affairs of his department attest the wisdom of Presi dent Johnson in displacing his predecessor, General Grant's intemperate remonstranoe was more creditable to the fidelity of his friendship than to the soundness of his judg ment. While Sheridan was in command the department was never quiet. That meddle some officer resembled the unfortunate people who never have good neighbors, lie found himself under a constant necessity of doing strong acts; and the protests against his re moval assumed that the department was bo full of turbulent, mutinous spirits that only his vigorous baud could hold them iu subjec tion. But when he left, the rebellious spirits seemed to depart with him, as the peace of a neighborhood is restored when the unfor tunate family that always has bad neighbors moves away. General Sheridan's removal, which it was asserted, before it took place, would make him the next President, is much more likely to confer that honor upon his suc cessor, if General Hancock continues to evince the consummate civil prudence he has thus far exhibited. It bids fair to place him among the small number from whom the De mocratic candicate will be selected, while Sheiidan's supposed claims have gone into a total eelipt-e. For our part, we hope that a statesman of largo civil experience may be run by both parties. We are not likely to need military abilities; or if we should, the Presidential mau gion is not a fit place for the headquarters of a fighting army. Great measures of civil policy and administrative reform should stand in the foreground under the next President. There is no fitness in choosing a mere military jnau to discharge duties requiring great civil expe rience. But if the Republicans attempt to Bway the canvass by the idal of a military name, it may be expedient to neutralize the effort by putting a popular name into the other scale. If this necessity should be forced upon up, an accidental advantage may result from the Republican reconstruction scheme by affording a field to test the civil capacity of one of our most admired and meritorious soldiers. The Btanding electioneering calumny of the Republicans, that every mau who disapproves of their negro policy is a RebtJ at heart, recoils agaiubt its authors when levelled at bo bright a reputation as General Hanoock's. For loyalty, gallantry, zeal, activity, and the solid value of his services, there was no officer in the Union army who, with equal opportuni ties, loft so shining a record. U he had ever bad a Reparate oommaud, he might have acted a more prominent, but he could not easily have acted a more brilliant part. Separate commands were lavished on officers of a dif ferent school of politics. The Renublioau Racks had a Separate oommaud both in the Valley and iu Louisiana, aud he acquired everything but honor in both. The renegade Democrat, Butler, had separate command-", and made himself a butt of derision. Pone had a pcpaiAte command, and hU incompe tency was demonstrated by the second Bull Hun. lmintude bad a separate commaud. and the result was his useless slaughter of our troops at Fredericksburg. Hooker had a separate command, and the result was bis dis graceful defeat at Chaiicellorsville. The con servative Meade was promoted to a separate command by accident and a sudden necessity. lie won tne great victory of (iettysburg aud was again subordinated. Democratic officers who were not servile enough to renounce or dissemble their principles, had no lair chance in the army. 1 he crufhiug of General MoClel lan by political malice was a warning which disclosed to ambitious army officers a fatal rock in the channel of promotion. Although General Hancock never had a separate commaud while the war lasted, there were but few directors of armies who blazed into such distinction as this brilllaut subordi nate. The Army of the Potomac, in which he served, always ranked as the first of our armies, and Hancock as one of its brightest ornaments. His purity of character, his patri otic ardor, his gallantry, alacrity, vigor, abili ties, modesty, and good fortune, acquired for inui a reputation which was never Bullied by one breath of suspicion or one word of oei sure. Whenever it ia said that conservative politics are inconsistent with vigorous, devoted loyalty, it is a sufficient reply to point to General Hancock, the esteemed and gallant representative of hundreds of Democratic officers and hundreds of thousands of Demo cratic soldiers. The surviving eoldier3 of the Army of the Potomac feel for him a warmth of admiring regard which the colder character of General Grant never kindled; and the people share the feeling. General Hancock has thus far proved him self as judicious iu peace as he was brave aud brilliant in war. Under his administration, there have been no New Orleans riots; no in suboidination in civil officers to give him trouble; no disaffection to his person, though he fills a most unwelcome office, lie resorts to no Btrong measures, because the considerate equity of his administration disarms opposi tion. The turbulent aud rebellious popula tion which it was said tliat no hand less for midable than Sheridan's could control, aud which he hardly succeeded in controlling by his constant acts of rigor and summary dis missals, is so spontaneously orderly and quiet under Hancock that, to all appearance, he could govern as effectually without an army as with. This contrast, so creditable to Han cock, illustrates the superiority of the Demo cratic method of dealing with the South. If General Hancock, when sent to execute an odious law, can govern withso little friction. how easily might loyalty be maintained in the boutu if the policy of the Government as well as its officers were conciliatory I To illustrate the temper of General Han cock's administration, aud his steadfast fealty to law, we copy the following Etatetuent from the New Orleans Ficaiune: "On Saturday night, a father and son. known respectively ia Uils community by the nums of Simon M. Frank VVallecUe ond Edmund F.

Ho at once went In person to the ollice of the Cblef of l'ollce, ttbout 6 .'10 o'clock, and told Major Wll llatnson mat he bad learned that a writ of liaoees corpus had been issued, and that owing to koine UUgallly it was probable that it would not be obeyed. 'I will hold you responsible in this matter. Those prisoners must be produced. 1 believe you will produce them, but I will my self take the necessary precaution that thov bo produced.

"The General then took hlsdeparture, and we felt as though we had listened truly to the do fender of law and dignity ol government. .We uon'i rememoer or ever nuving witnessed a more impressive scene." The proceedings in this case of requisition may be all regular, and the grounds of the arrest sufficient. Those are points on whioh General Hancock need have no opinion. But it is important that citizens of his district should feel that they cannot be dragged from their homes on criminal charges, and taken to a distant State to be tried, without good rea sons. All that the habeas corpus will accom plish Is to secure an examination of the grounds of arrest before an upright judge. If tho arrest is warranted by the facts aud papers, he will restore the prisoners to custody. 15ut the firm ness with which General Hancock sustains the writ, assures every innocent man iu his dis trict that innocence will insure protection at the hands of the local courts. What General Hancock establishes is a government of law, not ot arbitrary force. 1 CLOTHS, CASS IMERES, ETC. OETAIL AND WHOLESALE m CLOTH IIOTJBE. WM. T.
