Secretary Sewnrri ami tlie Alnbmna
Claim.
The London Times bas made the dlsoovery
that Mr. Seward is obetrueting the settlement
of the Alabama claims, and thereby endanger
ing the peaoeful relations of Great Britain and
the United States. Yet it appears willing that
Mr. Seward's whims should be humored a few
months longer, in the expectation that Mr.
Reverdy Johnson will be retained in his pre
sent position under General Grant's Adminis
tration, that the basis of the protocol already
agreed upon by Lord Stanley and Minister
Johnson 'must remain fixed, and finally that
its terms will sooner or later command the
consent of both countries. As the exaot prin
ciples whioh govern this mysterious basis of a
protocol are not yet matters of public informa
tion, we are unable to make any prediction
concerning the probability of the last two
points laid down by the Times; but if M,
Reverdy Johnson has imbued them with his
own spirit, as displayed in his after-dinner
vagaries and overly courteous treatment of
the enemies of his country, we are quite sure
that they will be indignantly repudiated by
the people and Government whom he so
grossly misrepresents. Concerning the ex
pectation indulged in by the Times, that
General Grant's Administration is not likely
to remove Mr. Johnson, we think that the
sworn enemies of the United States abroad are
destined to undergo a bitter disappointment.
Certainly this will be their fate if General
Grant makes any profession of adhering to the
policy long since laid down by him that of
adopting no policy of his own which comes in
conflict with the will of the people who have
selected him as their Chief Magistrate.
Concerning the charge which the Times
brings against Mr. Seward of a disposition on
his part to imperil the friendly relations of the
tivo ooun tries by obstructing the settlement of
the great issue pending between them, we are
quite well assured that injustice is done to our
present Secretary of State. We have been
unable to support the foreign policy of Mr.
Seward in all its details, but as a whole we
think that it commends itself to the Amerloan
people, and will receive the justification of his
tory. If it was lacking in any essential ele
ment, it was In that of firmness, but firmness
is not always the most desirable feature in
foreign diplomacy when it might have led to
international difficulties of a serious and corn
plicated character at a time when we had quite
as muoh on our hands at home as we could
well attend to. Aside from this consideration,
Mr. Seward's foreign policy has been charac
terized throughout by forbearanoe and pa
tience, two features which are quite as com
mendable in the policy of a great nation as in
the disposition of an individual person. To
the credit of the American people)
and of Mr. Seward a3 their representative, it
will be recorded for all time to come that the
Great Republio has borne with insult and re"
proach from many an upstart principality,
preferring to settle the question of its own
integrity before seeking satisfaction for slights
and impositions which have scarcely disturbed
the even tenor of its way. More than this, it
will be so recorded that we have received at
the hands of the great powers of the world a
oourse of treatment whioh made their profes
sions of friendship a hollow mockery and
farce; that we have borne all this in the true
interests of human liberty and progress; and
that, by a grand and unquestionable triumph
over high-handed treason at home, we have
at last reaped the rich fruits of our forbear
anoe, the full reward of our patient waiting,
by beholding all the great powers on their
knees as suitors for the favor of the Great
Republio.
When, therefore, the London Times comes
forward and proclaims Mr. Seward an enemy
of his country, by charging him with a dispo
sition to obstruct the peaceable settlement of
the questions now pending between the United
States and Great Britain, it is guilty of an aot
of gross injustice towards a statesman who has
done as much as any living man to preserve
the world from the horrors of a great inter
national war. We believe that there is not,
and has not been from the opening of the Re
bellion, a man who has Btriven more anxiously
than Mr. Seward to secure the most friendly
and equitable relations between the two great
Anglo-Saxon nationalities. The glaring fault
of his foreign policy, if it has a glaring fault,
has been a too -studied effort to give the na
tions of Europe, and more especially Great
Britain, no oause of complaint against us of a
disposition to demand more at their hands
than the law of nations and the dictates of
common sense allow us. The preservation of
' peaoe has been the study of his official oareer
as Seoretaiy of State, and at times he has
secured it only by a sacrifice of national dig
nity and an imputation upon our national
honor. History will record this fact, and the
London Times cannot gainsay it.
JIopecbans be of the tortured heart has at
last arrived at the Halls of the Montezumas,
and had an audience with Fresldent Juarez.
Although things have been going from bad to
worse for months, he lingered in the country,
filled with solioitude for Its future, as long
as he could accomplish anything in the way
of undoing the work of the war, and filling
the hearts of all true patriots with a share of
that solioitude whioh caused him to remove
Lis Leut frost Kg ptiariii rwptRtl? t; bja .
orpet-bag. And now he has arrived at
Mexioo, where he should have found himself
months ago, and will barely have time to
make some snoh exhibition of his inoapaolty
as Reverdy Johnson has displayed, before he
will be forced to take his heart in his hand
and travel back home. Then he will be free,
as he should have been left from the first, to
write lugubrious epistles in broken English
to the brave, energetio,- and self-sacrificing
men who were led, by an unfortunate error in
constitutional construction, into aa attempt at
disrupting the Union.
Folitlcnl Manner and Political Mo rait.
With General Grant's entrance into the Presi
dential mansion commenoes,!we most earnestly
hope, a new era in the history of the politics
of our country an era in whioh there will be
found wanting some of the most objeotionable
features of the old regime. The past eight
years have witnessed the overthrow of the
olden-time customs and manners of Washing
ington society and the demolition of the
former means of gaining politioal office. The
law of necessity caused a new order of things.
While it lasted, and Mr. Lincoln was Chief
Magistrate, there oould be no such thing as
the formation of any system to suooeed the
one which fell with Mr. Buchanan. The ac
cession of Mr. Johnson found everything dis
organized, and his career has only continued
the confusion. The mongrel administration
which dies on the fourth of March has ac
complished nothing but evil, and will not leave
its imprint even in the details of official
duties. General Grant will, therefore, find
everything ripe for reform. The old system
of the ante-war days has been forgotten, and
there is no later plan of conduct which has
suoceeded it. lie will, therefore, necessarily
have the responsibility of giving enduring
shape to the manners so to Bpeak of Ameri
can bffioials. And on two points we confidently
expect to see a radical improvement. The
first is, the dignity due to official position; the
second, the qualities whioh seoure for any ap
plicant an official post.
The administration of Mr. Johnson has pro
ceeded on the theory that liberty mean
license. The example set by the President, in
which he threw aside all show of dignity and
came down to the level of the lowest crowd of
shouting sycophants, has been imitated by hi1
subordinates. So far has this been carried that
even the feeble courtesy dictated' by decency,
which was preserved under Mr. Buchanan, bas
been abandoned. An air of odious familiarity
characterizes all the dealings of the President
with the people. Men lounge into the White
House as into a tavern, and in the ante-room
the removal of a cigar from the mouth is con
sidered an unnecessary courtesy. The recep
tions of the Chief Magistrate have been de
serted by all the better class of Washington
life; and droves of men, such as stood on th&
satin chairs in the days of Jackson, wander
around the East Room as though attending a
cattle show. This rudeness is mistaken for
republican simplicity, this ooarse exhibition
of vulgarity for the proper modesty of a
popular magistrate. Under General Grant we
hope things will be changed, speedily and
completely. No more mud-oovered gapers
should be allowed to ilook to the White House.
The President should be treated like the Pre
sident, and the people should be taught that
it is the office they themselves created, aud
which they ought to honor. There i3 no con-
nection between liberty and such absence Of
decent respeot, and if the President surround
himself with some of the formality of state he
does not enoroach one inch on the rights of
the people. So long as we do not give any
more substanoe of power to the Exeoutive, we
favor an increase of the formal authority with
which he should be surrounded. With his
knowledge and long habit of military disci
pline and etiquette, we expect the new Presi
dent to shoitly amend the abuses to which the
system of receptions is at present exposed.
The seoond point in whioh we hope to see a
favorable change is in the mole of seleoting
officers. It is time that rings and cliques had
given way to merit, and the supposed political
influence of a small politician made a secon
dary claim to a post in whioh hundreds of
thousands of dollars are annually handled.
In faot, for offices of great responsibility we
want responsible men. The positions of
deputy collector or assistant assessor may be
given to unknown but industrious workers,
but when it comes to the higher offices, in
which great opportunities for peculation con
stantly ooeur, they should be placed in the
hands of men who do not base their claims
solely on their work on the stump. We have
not, we regret, a civil service law, yet one oan
be extemporized by the President, whioh will
cause certainly great improvement, if not
entire reform. This change can be effected by
considering the claims of merit aud not of
politioal endorsements. In that is the whole
key to the needed reform, and if General
Grant will but adopt it, the country will have
good oause to be proud of the polloy of
his administration. The faot that so far
he has treated the office-seekers with ill
conoealed contempt leads us to hope that,
nith him at the head of the Government, the
system of appointments will be changed. By
adopting the two suggestions we have hinted
at, a great improvement would result both in
political manners and politioal morals. .
Thk Paraguayan War has taken a new
turn, by the advices just at hand, the
allies, according to report, having sustained
two severe repulses at the hands of Lopez.
President Sarmiento, of the Argentine Repub
lic, it is rumored has engaged the kind offices
of General MoMahon, our Minister to Para
guay, in an effort to bring about a peaceable
solution of the pending difficulties. At this
action, it is said that Dom Pedro has threatened
to break off diplomatio relations with the
Argentine Republio. The effect of this serious
complication oannot be foretold, but it is to
be hoped that it will not result in reodtablish
ing the petty despotism of Lopez.
Mb. Bbtirdt Johitbok, apparently, had no
invitation to eat his Christmas turkey away
from home, and so oelebrated the universal
festival by enoouraging a oompany of London
artisans to emigrate in a body to Nebraska.
We oonfess to some surprise at this, for we
have been led to believe that Mr, Johnson re
gards Texas as the paradise of emigrants.
Hinckley why does the man compel U3 to
use his same again f has rushed into print to
deny the statements concerning him in Mr.
Van Wyck's recent report. This denial by
Binckley settles the question of the truth of
all these statements in the mind of every man
wbo knows the propensity of the illustrious
"Solicitor" for contorting facts.
