Tbe great and satisfactory result upon which tbe two peoples may be henrllly congratulated la that au agreement has been come to lor set 4i1nu all the open questions between them by a uUed commission of Kuglisbmen and Auierl cutiM The umpire Is to be named simply In -rase of disagreement, whlou U uot prouaole, as nubile opinion bs aimosluoauimously oouielo the conclusion tnat tbe beat thu g lor Kugland In the future would be to pay fur the desi ruc tion caused by the Alabama in the pant. If we acknowledge our liability and pay the cost, we gain a powerlul staud-poiut for reuaou st ranee with other nations, should they at. tnupt to take us at a disadvantage during a siTUKKle, and send privateers to play navoo amo a our merchantmen. Unpalataole as 1. may be lo pay a heavy sum for tne reckless and unuatrlollo conduot of some Liverpool suip owners it is Infinitely better tnat we should vav than remain subject to have the uo hallowed precedentturnedagalnfctourselves. While we are thus blotting oui.one bad precedent from tne records or lnteruauuuni wo ... tp another which may be productive of the most beneficial results so loug as lime endures. Tne two strongest and most high-spirited na tions of the world, having causes of difference wllb each other, have not rusned to the fatal extreme of war. They have olsoussed the ques tions at ihsue with great care, ingenuity, and learning. A few foolish persons ou bom sides have attempted to throw firebrands, but they bave been put down by tne vast prepon derance of sound opinion In both nations. And now, when the people have been fully Informed, when the Governments and tne cress, pamphleteers and, the politicians, In Parliament and out of it, have all had their say, It is found tnat a mode of adjustment can be agreed upon, and tnat the whole dispute may be handed over to four centlemen representing the two nations, to settle It as they see best. We may depend upon It. other nations are looking on at tnis Instruc tive spectacle. Tney will ask tnemselves whether this is not better tban ihroal-cutung and ship-burning; whether It Is not better than keeping up immense multitudes of men to prey on the vitals of the tax-paying community. We congratulate Lord Stanley ou his snare in the noble work, and we hope he will follow It no by Insisting that the bloated armaments of lit land may now also be greatly reduced. Tbe Exploits or the Rebel Pirate. From the London Times, Nov. 13. The pnbllo will probably bear little more of these inatlerB until they learn once for all the decisions given upon them; but, supposing all theoltlms and cwunter claims Inquired into, the Commissioners will have no easy Usk. liven i s succeed each other so rspidly in inese days that tbe exploits of the Alabama seem to belong to some distant past. But It Is only five years since this vessel was sweeping fiom the seas the American mercantile marine, and tbe British Government were declaring their regret but denying tnetr liability for her escape. The luclden is of that escape will be stl'l fresh in the recollection of our readers. Tne Government hud received notice that an Iron steamer, evi dently Intended for warlike purposes, was building at Liverpool, and the American Min ister urged her detention. Our Government, anxious to do its duty to a friendly power, and yet unoertaln how far It was Justified In seizing the vessel, took the opinion of the law officers of the Crown. They advised that the Govern ment bad 1 he right to prevent the vessel leav ing port and accordingly an order was sent to arrest her. But her builder or purchasers were too quick, and, having become ao Qualnted with what was tbreatened, they tent tbe Alabama at once to sea, and she was manned and armed In a foreign port. It is on the liability of onr Government under these circumstances tnat a preliminary decision must be taken, and we have at least tbe tight to maintain that the escape was without the con nivance and against tne wish of the Govern ment, their disposition was fuily evinced by the arrest of tbe Alexandra, and subsequently of tbe two rams at Birkenhead. Nor does It appear that during the f our years straggle the Americans, however disappointed at tne neu trality of England, have found ground for complaint of any one definite act. Mr. Gladstone and Koman Catholicism. Mr. Gladstone has written the following let ter In reply to a question put to him by an elector of Boulhport. Tbe letter Is dated Ua warden Castle. Nov. 9. 18h8:- Blr: I am much obliged by your letter. It grieves me to learn tbat tbe slanders which have hitherto been confined to remoter parts nave fonnd their way Into our division, and are circulated as you state, by some of the Tories of Son tb port I trust a very few. You tell me they allege I am a Roman Catholic In my heart; buttbeydo not attempt to prove It from my conduct. They knew that my religious profes sion Is that of the Church of England; and this being so, to say I am a Koman Gathollo Is simply to say I am a deliberate liar and a confirmed by poo rite. It Is open to them to Insult me In this or in any other manner, but I will not degrade myself, and the relation between candidates and constituencies, by making any declaration whatever, believing, as I do, that It would only draw forth more In credulity and fresh Insults. All 1 wish for them Is that they may learn to do to others as - they would be done by. and may never receive tbe ealumnlous usage which tney mete out to me. On tbe subject of the Hltualittlo question, t hii declare mT opinions on my return to Lancashire, probably at Bootle, In the end of this Week.

Pall Mall Gazette. Ibis evening the Oaulois makes a startling announcement In Us most Imposing type. This i.aner. which was lately the Monittur of the provisional Government at Madrid, now pre sents liaelf as an official oiuiu of the holiday conrt of Com pel tne. It assures us tnat at tbe Cabinet Council yesterday the Government, having proofs of a wide-spread conspiracy In lis bauds, eame to tbe determination lo apply the law of general safely with the utmost se verity. Tbe principal cblefs are known; their projects are to be unveiled and tbelr ma noeuvres exposed to the light of day. Tne Gaulois consoles Us contemporaries by stating that the press will be lightly dealt with, unless It persists In exciting dangerous passions. This note would have Utile importance but for the well-known fact tnat the U anion stands well with a certain party at oourt. To say that the Government, has In its bands tbe threads of a vast plot, whose avowed object la to overthrow tbe present dynasty, and that tbe Baudtu nao ..ririinn lists and tbe meeting at tbe clubs sr. ail nnnneoted with thin conspiracy, and tbat tbe parlies are leagued against law and order Is rrobabjy lalse. The note, however, leads to be suLnosll Ion that tbe Government baa de cided on rigorous measures, and desires to ex cuse Its reactionary policy beforehand. SPAIN. A Kingdom Without a Ulna; Repub licans without a iiepuitiie. Hadrid (Nov 9) correspondence of London Timet, Prim baa been twitted with the absurdity of -proposing "a monaroby without a mouaroLi." Hahss retorted by a taunt to bis adversaries that they would jproclaUa "a republic without rernblleans." Both these assertions were true a moii ib ago. Are they still correct at to i9 pre. sent moment? Mot decidedly Prim Uas uot fonnd bis monarch. Indeed, by u hesi tation snd lnaetion, by his account able relict nee, be has almost aroagtit tbe country to despair of a monarch tie has sbnken the nation's faith .n a inonarooy. King do not In our days fall front heaven, nor do they come in the shape of youn drovers looking for tbelr fatbers' anses, nor as middle-seed travellers drlvtbz to town In their gigs with tbelt wives, and aooeptlng such omens' as tne ngnt oi who oiras may portend, it is lor lime alone to show whether It was owing to mere chance or to deep calculation tbat Prim lias biousbt the eonntry to Us present predica ment. But, whatever may have been, or rmty be, Prim's real purpose, there can be Utile doubt as to bis ability to work It out. Were l'rim to cast toe weight of his sword In behalf of a republic (and It Is by no means Impos sible that be may be driven to those strolls In the end It is by no means impossible tbat be has acted upon tbat plan from tne beginning), a republic may still be the up shot. But If Castelar's views are lo be teallzed, In spite of Prim and ihe nrmy, there roust be either a conflict In which the army mty be overpowered, or a combination by which tbe army may be won over or neutralized. Bo long as tbe army exists in Spain tbe mastery of the sitUMiion lies with it; it lies utua ly with Us leaders, ho doubt republicanism has of late advanced with great strides. Monarchy is Btlll wltbf nt a monarch, but republicanism Is no longer at a loss for republicans. Tney number thousands here in Madrid, buudteds of thousands in tbe northeastern and south western provinces. Every hour that Is lost swells their numbers, enlists iu their be half tbe people's sympathies, associates with their general alms a variety of local ambi tions, a multitude ot personal interests. He publican utoplaulsm finds a ready ally in that self, whose only principle is success, yet which by mere weight carries success with it. Every day the Provisional Government has less to give; every day tbe applications for Its gifts increase; every day adds to the dlsappoluied, fo tbe discontented list. Every day, for aught we know, may bring on tbe conflict; but there Is little doubt as to lis result, so long as tbe army maintains its compact attitude, ooedlent to one will, devoted to one man. 'Prim seems to me penetrated with tbe Importance of this fact; be seems all engrossed with bis own branch or the administration; ne seems bent on no other object than to make tbe army his own. Prim's silent but assiduous work should not be overlooked. It Is by Its light that one shoald read Benor Castelar's efluslon; by its light tbat we sbould endeavor to come to an estimate of tbe Issue of any possible con flict. There Is one point In which no Innovation whatever has been effeoted in Spain. Spain has still her army. She Is still she Is more than ever at the mercy of tbat army. That army may harbor no sinister designs, it may wish for no conflicts; It may long for hearty and thorough fraternisation. Its leader may medi tate no encroachment on popular liberties. He may, on tbe contrary, aspire to their fullest de velopment and consolidation. Still that army and Its leader must betaken Into aocount In every movement. Should the movement lead to a collision, no one can answer for the con sequences. It is not a republic that is lobe feared; It is tbat three days' anaroby which is sure to lead to no one knows how long a period of military dictatorship. ME3 JJSD MEASURES AT WASHINGTON. From Our Own Oorrttpondent. WASHIHGTOW, Nov. 34, 1868. "Who Is going to ran Grant T" la a question as frequently asked as "Who is going to be In tffe Cabinet ?" The former Is, if possible, more difficult of solution than the latter. Any attempt at answering either of them would, of course.be the merest speculation. Of all men in the Republic Grant keeps the closest coun sels. I know of half-a-dozen men prominent politicians who have spent an evening with him since the eleotlon, with a view of ascer taining what he Intends doing who is going into the Cabinet, what is to be tbe general policy of the Administration, and who are the lavorUcs of the President elect It Is hardly necessary to add tbat these gentlemen have always come away about as wise as they went. Grant and the Politicians). There Is one class of men whom Grant evidently regards with Busplolon. This Is the politicians. With thousands of others, he has somehow received the impression that the professional politician is a dangerous acquaintance, and tbat the less he has to do with him the better. He really feels In their society as. an honest, unsophisticated man would feel la the com pany of Wall street sharpers and gamblers. Anybody who has ever seen him either at his headquarters or elsewhere, surrounded by three or four politicians, must have noticed how ill at ease be was, and how much relief their depar ture seamed to give him. To be sure, he never loses his remarkable self-possession. But it seems to me he looked more at ease in the WIN derness.wben his troops were la the tblokest of the fight, than he did tbe other day when a committee of politicians waited upon him to know whether he would like to be serenaded When they attack him In battalions this way he Is manifestly embarrassed. If they come singly or in pairs he gets along belter, for then be can meet most of their cross-examination with the hospitable query, "Gentlemen, will you have a cigar T" Imagine some of your "great men," men who have manipulated or shared in the manipulation of the administra tions of Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, and Lin coin, after having expatiated for an hour or so upon what ought to be done, what would be best for "the party," who shoald be trusted and who should be discarded, meeting with no reply, only asked to take a cigar I Is it any wonder tbat these "statesmen" usually retire in disgust, leaving Grant In the possession of his own secrets and in the quiet enjoyment of his fragrant Havana. Can Urant be Rnu ? Tbe unsatisfaolory nature of these interviews only makes the politicians more anxious to know who la to he tbe right-hand man of the President eleot. E. B. Washburne Is generally regarded as Gi ant's "trainer," but the question is, will he be his "second" wheu he Is fairly within tbe maglo ring of the White House? Washburne, to be sure, visits Grant, dines with blm, drives with him, and travels with him. But so does George Wilkes and Robert Bonner. The former, it is said, wauls not only to go into the Cabinet but to make the Spirit of the Timet the organ of the Administration, Bonner will be satisfied If Grant visits New York at times and drives Dexter, and writes a story for the Ledger. There are some men who boast that they "have slept with Colfax," but no one is bold enough to say that they have occupied the same bed with Grant. I have heard men say, "I know Grant well knew him in the army, I can talk to him," etc.; but I never heard anybody siy not evenE. B. Wash burne "I can make Grant do this, tbat, or the other .thing." The truth is, it would not be worth a man's while to make such an assertion, for no person would believe him. Grant cannot be run by any one man, or, Indeed, any set of men, as will be abundantly manifest before the close of his Administration. The Presidency In 187. Possibly your readers are not su fflolen'ly re. covered from the exsltement of the recent Pre sidential election to stretoh their eyes forward to that of 1872. If 1 shoald say, therefore, tbat Colfax wUl be a candidate for the White House, if he lives that long, you may think I am a little premature. Had there pees a less formidable rival on the track than General Grant, the present Speaker of the House woull faave done his best for It at Chicago. Four years from now, however, the Vice-President elect hopes to distance all competition. No shrewder or more wily politician will make the effort If he Is not successful his failure may be attri" buted to the same cause tbat defeated Web ster, Clay, and Douglas an over-anxious effort to secure the price. The manner la wbloh he figured for the Vice-Presidency may, la some sense, be taken as a guarantee tbat la asoend- ing tbe ladder to gala the topmost round he Will make no false steps. Colfax In the Administration. Heretofore the Vice-President has, with fow exceptions, been little more than a figure bead In tbe Government. Nothing can make him much else except an accident, as la the cases of Tyler, Fillmore, and Andrew Johnson. To be sure, he has, or is supposed to have, more or less Influence with the Administration, but ll.l" generally exerted in a quiet way. On aocount of his having no patronage under his control, he has usually been allowed to designate one of the Cabinet officers. This, however, Is a mere matter of courtesy, there being no legal precedent for It. Hannibal Hamlin named Secretary Welles, and his choice has proved so unfortunate that future Vice-Presidents may hesilate to exercise the privilege. I learn from an Intimate friend ot Colfax (one of tbe men he has "slept with") that he does not propose to have anything to do with the distribution of the patronage. It Is questionable whether be will even avail him self of tbe poor privilege of naming a Cabinet officer. If the pleasant Speaker of the House wants to be President four years hence, he could not pursue a wlserpollcy. Tbereareatleast cne thousand applicants for every office In the gift of the President. Of course, but one man can get it, and nine hundred and ninety-nine go away not only disappointed but angry. No man understands this better tban Colfax, and be Is determined to disappoint the whole thou-, sand, so tbat none of them can say he Is partial to one more tban another; This will enable him to enter the field unencumbered, and with a clear record. It will be time enough for blm to remember bis friends when he comes into bis kingdom. In these calculations, however, Grant is left out of the question. If he wants to be President for eight years, instead of four, CollaxwlU have to tarry at Jericho until his beard grows both longer and greyer. The Administration Organ. One of the customs whish the Democracy be queathed tbe Republican party Is an Adminis tration organ. Your readers, of course, are aware tbat this machine is somewhat different from the;common street organ. But it is necessarily like that In many respects. Any newspaper which becomes the organ of an Administration is expected to play only such tunes as are set for It by the President. It ean have no music of its own. It Is seldom, if ever, conducted by a live, Independent Journalist. Informer years when the Democraoy controlled the Treasury Department, It was a profitable business to publish the "organ" of tbe Administration. It was in this way tbat old Frank Blair made all his money. Gales and Seaton, of the InUlligeneer, might have died millionaires, bad they em ployed some other clerk besides Johnny Ooyle. But your Republican parly Is more circum spect. It draws the purse-strings of the Gov ernment more tightly, and docs not keep tbe door leading to tbe Treasury vaults so much ajar. Since tbe Republican party came into power there has really been no Administration "organ." During Lincoln's time, it was rumored that Ihe Chronicle reflected his views on all public questions. But this was merely a rumor. Blanton put one of its editors into the' "Old Capitol" prison with as llt.le cere mony as he would have hung a Rebel spy, Think of General Jackson going back upon old Frank; Blair in thai style while he conducted tbe "organ" of the Administration! Wheu Andrew Johnson turned his back upon the Republican party the old Intelligencer tnought (he good days of Gales dc Beaton had returned and it would once more be the "organ." But your tireless radicals rooted up everything tbat savored of the old extravagance of the Democ racy. First of all the Government printing office was established, and the thousands of fat J ib that had made more than old Frank Blair rich and happy for these were always given to the "organ," as a sort of pocket-money dlsap peered. Then, as If this was not a severe enough blow to private enterprise i?), Congress passed a law limiting the Government adrer Using to such an extent that it really amounts to very little in a year. Being an ' organ" now don't pay, financially speaking. But you must not suppose tbat there is no paper ambitious to be Grant's "organ," not so much for what is to be reaped at present, as for what may be gleaned hereafter. Joshphps. BRIG HAM TO UNG. lie Advleeth Ills Fleck Upon the Pro. prlely of Long- anU Mhort Dresses.
