On November 20 LTon. Reverdy Jolinion 'was
Toted an address by the Corporation ot tha torvn
Oi Brighton. He replied to it its follows:
Air. Mat or. Aldermen, and l$urgesse.3 of the
- Town of BriRbtoo: Accept my best thanks lor
the honor done me by your address. 1'cace
fcetwee jour country and my own is so essen
tial to tbe lDtere-to and vn'opt rity of both, th'it
even the possible hazard ot lis disturbance could
not tail to awulcen the solicitude of all rellctme,
humane, and Christian men. Tue causes, one
. which dates prior to 1812, the other to 1816, aud
tbe third to the years of our late, civil ar,
owing to circumstances beyond tbe coutrol ot
11 r. .Adorn?, and which, wi-e aud discreet as he
wac, It wa9 not within his power to remove.
Xly commiPBion coinmenced uudcr a more favor
lole Mate of tblnpp. Our domestic troubles were
at an cud, and the integrity of our Government
.was placed upon a firm and enduring baMs.
It was natural, therefore, ttint your Govern
ment should be nnxious, as was my own, to ar
rargu at toe earliest moment eerv existing
difficulty. Lord Btauley uud mynelf entered
upon our negotiations with a settled purpose to
bdjutt everything upou terms consistent wi'h
the rights and honor of both nations. Tunt
beine our deu-rmiiiatioD, it is not at all surprise
leg that we acconipltBtU'd it to the fullest extent.
Tbe Oi't cue ot trouble, and oae of the most
perilous and of tbe longest duration, was the
tifihts of our natnralizud citizens. Coeval almost
with the one In ct your courts, it was held tht
the allegiance of nativity was perpetual. .This
Has directly opposite to the view of the citizens
Of tbe United b'ates, and I believe to the general
fentiments of almost all Continental Europe.
The Constitution of the United States in this
particular accords with thit sentiment. It vests
In Congress tbe power to piss laws of natural!
cation, and that power was exercised at tbe
earliest period. The condition, among others,
npoa which a native of any other coamry could
become a citizen of tae United States was, that
be should renounce absolutely his original alle
giance. But. as I have said, his right to do so
was uniformly denied by your judiciary, thus
compelling such a citizen to violate his obl'ga
tions to the United States, and to deprive him of
his rights as citizen of that country.
Your Government acted upon this doctrine
Irevions to 1812 by impressing out of our ships
our naturalized citizen". Tbis constituted oue
of the causes of the war ot that year, and, al
thouh the doctrine was not surrendered by the
Treaty of Ghent, it was never afterward prac
tically acted upon.
It Is now settled by the protocol agreed to by
Lord Stanley and mjieT, and so fettled that It
' eauriot beiealter give trouble to either Govern
ment, and 1 am glad to add that It has receive I
the apptoval ol the Executives of each. Tbe
natural ced is placed upon tbe same footing In
ah respects as tbe native citizen.
Tbe Btcoud cause whs as to tbe true running
of one ot the hues which divides your pisses
Biocs and ours, as described in the treaty be
tween os of 184G. This at one time reniered a
war almost imminent. All danger from that
lource is removed by tbe second protocol,
agreed to by bis Lordship and myself, and
wbith hat also the approval of the two Execu
tives. Tbe third and the only o'.her rinse of trouble
origin aud durng our late domestic war. From
this have arisen most of the claims made by
your citizens upon ray Government, and my
fellow-citizens upon youn; tbe latter known by
tbe general nacne of tbe Alabama claims.
Tbe convention which we have recently
greed to (aud which, I have no dolibt, will bo
approved by both Government) provide. thst
these are to be settled by a board of four com
m ssioners, two to be appointed by each Govern
menu In the event of their not deciJirg by a majo
rity for or against any claim other than an
Alabama one, the decision is to be made by au
umpire chosen by themselves. In regard to tbe
Alabama claims th airangemect is somewhat
diilereur.
Before thepe are to be considered by tbe Com
missioners, the two tJovernments are to
agree upon tbe bead of some foreign Govern
meet as an arbitrator, by whom the decision as
to tte liability of your Government for eucu
claims is to be made on the coutingt noy that the
' Commissioners tail to come to a unanimous de
cision lor rr against it.
Tbis arbitra'or, however, is to adjudge only
tbe question of liability.
If be rule thit question , against your Govern
ment, tbe amount due to each cluiaiant it to be
ascertained by a majority of the Commis
sioner. If he rule in favor of your Govern
ment, tho claim ia to be perpetually birrei.
You will thus see, gentlemen, that all the
sources of tron te have been closed, and so com
pletely, that (nf,T cgtl never asaln be opened.
The two cation, therefore, have belore them
an ncl'-0,ir(j pnppct of an enduring peace,
,n1, 0 . mil ti e advaotaees, material, social, and
P,0' .tuml, certain to result from it. And it is,
'.i:relorp, not to be wondered at that the
fcti'Ouncement or these results enouia nave
been baMed with satisfaction and delight by the
people of both lia'ioo".
For the settlement of these varions and dan
gerous controversies the two countries are more
indebted to the enlightened spirit of their
respective Governments and to Lord Stanley
than to me.
All agree that it was a paramount obligation,
due to the Christian civilization of the apr.
tn at war between two sucn countries coild
never be even excused, much l-s Justified, if to
be avoided iu any way other tlun by the aban
donment of national rights or tbe surreu Jer of
national honar. And may we not hope that
what hss been done in tals instance will bs an
exsaiple. having a potential influence in pre
serving the peace of the world ?
I remain, gentlemen, with high regard, your
obliged and giatetul servant, .

An Important Electoral AI;lrp.
Cbrrf.'oncfetiee of ih London Daily JYewst
Madrid, Nov. 14. The eraele ha spoken.
Tbe stillness of early morning, that indescri
bable period when a great city lies between
sleeping and wakiog, was Pro lieu to-day by tbe
shrill voices of a thousand newsvenuers, pro
claiming that tbe Correfpon'ienria bad pub
luhed un tvrpiemetUo ex'raordinario. This
supplement contained the "Manifesto de Con
eilliiciou" of the progressist, democrats, a jd
unionisms to tbe electors. It btas trie signa
tures , ot nineteen well-known public men.
with tbe addition of those of the
editors oT fifteen of the principal newspaoen of
Madrid. It commences by slating that the elec
toral law being row published, and the gatDcr
ing of the popular assemblies o'ing proximate,
it is the duty of all good sons of the natioa to
manifest truthfully, firmly, and qutetly, their
Ideas npon the great question tbty will shortly
be called upon to settle with irrevocable sen
tencethe new destinies of the country. It then
lavs down as principles to be a tooled bv tue
National party what was promulgated at Cadiz,
repeated by all tbe juntas, and expressed by all
tbe Republicans and Democrats in their dis
courses to tbe public, viz :
"Tbe sovereignty of the nation, universal
inflrage, cunseciation of that sovereignty and
origin of all power.
All rights aud liberties which retain to every
citizen his dignity aud titles,'
"individual seourity and suppression of all
arbitrary acts.
"inviolability of domicile and of correspond
ence. "ltight of Dublic meeting and peaceful asso
ciation lor all rational ends.
"Liberty of the press.
"Freedom of education.
4 Reliitious liberty, consecrating and gnaran
teelng Torever the right of conscience.
"Ui.ity of legislation and of slatuies; trial by
jury."
Tne manifesto then passes on lo speak of the
immense pioblem which, lor the firDt time, the
nation is culled upon to solve by the votes ot all
its citizens what the C irtej Coos'itayentes is
to build upon the runed throne ol the bourbons;
a problem which may be or may not be solved
by elements peculiar to the situation,
by- the superior exigencies of the pre
sent, or by the inflexible conditions of the
future. The wi iters then proceed to say that In
their judgment the form ot goreruaieut should
not be I hat of elaborate system, nor of scientific
deductions, if tbey woull have it on a Arm btsis,
if they desire its duration and subsistence. Tuat
they had in the first plac; to preserve the lu
teenty of the nationl proclamation: then to
associate true liberty witii order, and to exteu 1
the brad to all who hai outriouted. to the
destrucion of the Bourbon domination, for tue
least schism between tlieai would doubtless be
the rum of the revolution. Tho pith of the
whole follow?:
"Tatting into account the grave stale of afairs,
the habits ard snirit of the rouutiy, aud con
sidering i's welfare paramount to evervthiuer,
th"y do not hesitate to say that, in their judg
ment, tba monarchical torm of government is
that which adapts itself with irresistiole force
to the consolidation ot liberty and tbe require
ments of the revolution, which has been con
summated net by the impulse of one, but by the
concerted action of the three great liberal
Earties. But not a monarchy like (hit which
as fallen, not a monarchy of riuht divine
or of family origin, not a monarchy which
considers itself superior to toe nation
aud makes its fovere'gnty and liberty impos
sible. 8uch monarchy is lor cjer dead in Spain.
Our monarchy, on the contrary, the one we are
going to vote for, is a monarchy boru of the
people, consecrated by universal suffrage, sym
bolic of the sovereignty of the nation, wbicn
will consolidate all liberties and will per
sonify all tbe rights of citizeuship, superior to
all institutions and to all powers. It is a moa
archv which radically destioys the right diviue
and tbe supremacy of ono family over the
nation a monarchy surroanded by demo
cratic institutions ; in short, a popular
moaareby. We shall vote unanimously
tor such a monarchy; some of us because we
always have professed this principle, and love
the traditions of our country; others, b-cause
we are convinced that the establishment of a
movable power at this moment would bo a con
stant source of danger to peace and liberty,
even though we believe tbat Democratic princi
ples are loitical in their form, and that the ereat
tendency of civilization is towards the abolition
of til hereditary and permanent power. YWn
these ideas we will go to the electoral urns, and
offer anew the example ot our union."
6nch is the spirit of this electoral address but
in case it should fail to secure tbe eud aimed at
the signers propose, as the Provisional Govern
ment did, to abide by the flat of the nation
aitesieu Dy tne snnraee ot the people. They
conclude by saying thst. as thst suffrage hHS
been a solemn rompsct, they declare, with (heir
kards upon their hearts, teat they will oo?
suitain, and defend, by their adhesion, whatever
the Coites may decide.

During the atternooa aod eveuint many per

A PART).
Th DlftlenUy Ilefween (Jenarsl Howard
and lr. II. V. Itoynton.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune Sir: A
curd in jour journal this morning, signed
"Edgar Ketehum," contains the following,
personal to myself, which is so crowded with
errors that it cannot be allowed to go on-
noticed:
l)r. Bvynton spoke bo word against Oenrat tliw.
ard lu tbe eoutell, tne pri enndlag. i which were
wholly nnui.rkrd by any asperity. After an adjuu n
xoeiilason of Dr. Beyaton, a raaorter, d d a, pmieb
General Howard with a question, considered ITsn
sive, aad he was calmly tebuked. '1 lie joung uiaa
tna sa d tLat If the Ue.rl bad two aim be weald
strike lilm. The G.i.eral rnilld In loues which I
think ninat fill the j.ung man wlln remorse. "I.a
eaiht sol lo be. line me."
The statement that General Howard and Dr.
Boj nton have exchaneed ao wordi wbttever
since the council first met Is entirely correct.
Tbe facts concerning tbe alterca'ion between
General Howard and mvrelf will how that Mr.
Rett hum's ideas ol a "calm rrb.ike'' are some
what peculiar, aud tbat whatever his geueral
ab.lity uay be, as "a reporter," he is a sad
failure. These tacts are as lollows: Af.er an
adjournmint ot the council, I was on my way
oat of tie cbarcb, and wmle passing through
a crowd which had collected in tbe area about
the pulpit, I heard some one retail, ng
charges against my faiutr, Dr. Bojntou.
Naturally enough I stopped, and
as I did a person rerlled to the speaker:
'General Howard you know tlp::3u cuarge ur
frivolous, and even your own friends pronounce
tbcm so." Generil Howard at aw jred thi tby
expected to prove them, and was continuing
with unfounded s'atemenis about Dr. ftoynt on,
wben the altercation to wuich Mr. Keiehan
alludes began not by any ' question, " but bv
y makisg the following assertion: "Aud I
know tbat General itoard himself hss satrt thit
the charges are Irivolous." This I repeated,
and added that I made the statement npon
my fconor. General Howard answered tbat
it w.ts false, aud that a man who
would write malicious lies for the newspapers
ban no honor to lose. General Howard toriher
"calmly rebuked" me by saving eicitedly that
all I bad said SF.d written was wholly, wilfully,
aud maliciously false. To this I said, as ex
citedly as any one wishes to believe, tbat Gene
ral Howard was at per ect liberty to call me a
liar as often as he pleased; that he had but oue
arm, and 1 was not cowardly enough to attack
him as 1 certainly sliojld tf be had two, and
that if any of his friends would make tbe
statement he had, 1 would settle with them at
once. General Howard then repeated bis accu
sations of lalsehood in still more pointed terms.
1 made substantially tbe same reply, and added
that tbe members of the ceuncil must under
stand thst there was no member on the sido of
the majority who would call any one a liar, for
any cause, iu the audience room ot the church.
With this I left.
It is just to tbe church, though perhaps unne
cessary to add, tbat 1 am not connected wi'h It.
As to those "lones," and that ' remorse." Mr.
Ketehum would do well to reserve tbetu for his
next work of flctiou. Yours respectfully,

The Young Harder Trial.
Special Dexpatch to The Evening Telegraph,
Indian atolib, Ind., Dee. 4. This city was
considerably exoitcd dating yesterday over the
struggle between the editors of the Daily Journal
and Jbentinel oa tbe one side and Judge Chap
man, of the Criminal Court, on the other, grow
ing out of the publication of the testimony in
the Young murder trial, now in progress in this
city. The Judge ordered the papers not to pub
lish it. The papers did publish it, and yester
day the Judge arrested the reporters of tho
Journal and tendnel aad fined them twenty-five
dollars each. lie thee issued attachments for
the editors of the Journal anl Sentinel. They
appeared, and it appeared that tbe Judge was
going to fry them without any complaint having
been filed against them.
The editors demurred to such a proceeding.
As the Court conld have no judicial knowledge
of this contempt, they were discharged, but in
a few moments an affidavit was prepared, and
attachments were again issued. But oue of the
editors was found, and the proceedings were
postponed until to-day; The whole city it
excited at tbe conduct of the Court in forbiddin
tbe publication of the testimony ;mnd tho belief
is rapidly gaining ground that the case is to be
smuggled through, and the accused acquitted
through the influence of mouey. The Judge
oidered all of the reporters of the city papers
from the room, bat they will nevertheless ap
pear today with full reports of yesterday's
proceeding). The papers maintain tbat the
Judge has exceeded his authority, and they
propose to fight it out in this line.
