James, and for the propriety of tne Senate jgiTiiig tbeir consent or Southern mm to go ont by their approval, a member of th Uoue called opon a dihtiBBUtslied Senator pon that committee, and asked him if he knew from the official records tbnt Mr. Lincoln hai sent Reverdy Johnson to New Orleans to act as an arbiter in reference to $600,000 of specie whicb General Butler claimed was tbe property ot the Confederate Government, and which a foreign banking hou.e claimed wai theirs, and that, after an examination of the case, Johnson de cided that it was tLe property of the bank, and Mr. Lincoln accordingly turned it over. He teplied that be did, and was then asked if he knew the handwriting of Mr. Johnson, an 1 upon replying in the affirmative be was handed a receipt signed by Reverdy Johnson (and dateJ While he was making that examination) for a fee of fivethoueaud dollars from the bank to atteiid to some unimportant business on bis return North. Subsequent developments showed most conclusively that the money was Confederate property, and that its surrender bad been a gross blunder. The Senator admitted the case to be a strong one, and announced himself as unfavorable to the confirmation, bat the pride of Senators swept away all opposition, and because he was "a Senator" he was con firmed. Now there is more than one membrr who openly declares that he has sold out to Ergland as he sold out the honor and trust confided in him by Mr. Lincoln only at tbe earnest rcquet-t of Mr. Seward, who was his ardent friend then, as be has been since aud ii no v.

Literary aud Musical Copyright. From the London Alhenwum. Tbe distinction between British copyright and British international copyright seems to be but little understood by the pnblio, or even by many proprietors of such property. Tin great and indispensable condition in each case is, flist, that in oider to acquire a British copyright the work must be first published in the United Kingdom; and, secondly, that for the purpose of acquiring a British interna tional copyright, the work must have been first published in a foreign State named in one of the Queen's Orders in Council upon that subject, and also duly entered at Sta tioners' Ilall within the period limited by such order. The same observations apply to rights of pnblio representation of dramatio woiks and musical compositions. Such rights are often erroneously supposed to form part of the copyright, but the two rights are per fectly distinct. The author of a dramatio work or musioal composition acquires the copyright, and also the right of public repre sentation, etc., in his work; and these rights may be, and constantly are, gold to different persons either by the author or his assignee. But in dealing with copyrights and rights of public representation and performance, it must always be borne in mind that first pnb lio representation or performance is In all respects equivalent to Jirst publication of the work. Consequently, the terms "oopyrlght" and "right of representation," etc, are con current. ICath commences from tbe day when the work was first printed and published, or first pub ioly represented or performed, as it may Lappeu to have been. Id a case whiuh bas somewhat recently been decided by tbe House of Lords, a question of the gravest importance may, we believe, be considered M conclusively and most saUafao- torlly tettled with relation to British oopy rlght. The ease to which we allude is that of Kentledge vs. Low, to which we called atten tion in its earlier stages. The facts were, that Messrs. Low purchased the MS. of a book called ''Haunted Hearts,' written by an Ame rican authoress, a citizen of the United States, who, in pursuance of her oontraot with Messrs. Low, went to Canada for a short time, so aa to be bodily present within British territory upon tke day ber work was first published in Eng land by Messrs. Low. They made it part of their contract that the authoress should be so present, in deference to the Judgment of the House of Lords given in the Uvunambula case, JeflVry s vs. Boosey, which destroyed that very valuable copyright upon the pain'ally narrow ground that, because the alien author of that opera was not bodily present in England when his work was first published there, no British copyright existed in the opera. That decision was upon the law as it existed under the old Copyright act of Anne, but which was repealed by the Copyright Amendment aot of 1842. Bat, re turning to tbe faots of Routledge vs. Low, MeBsrs. Low having published the work in question in 1864 at 10s., Messrs. Routledge some time afterwards issued an impression of it at 2s. They contended that Messrs. Low could not have acquired "copyright in a work written by an alien between whose country and onr own no international copyright sub sists." Thereupon Messrs. Low filed their bill in Chanoery against Messrs. Routledge, and the Vice-Chancellor Klndersley held that the plaintiffs had a valid British oopyrlght in the work. That decision was affirmed upon appeal to the Lords Justices; whereupon the defendants again appealed to the Uoase of Lords, who unanimously confirmed Messrs. Low's title to the copyright. Upon that point, inasmuoh as the authoress was in Canada when her work was first published here, there appears never to have been any reasonable doubt as to the result. But during the argument the previous deci sion of the Lords in Jeffreys vs. Boosey was cited and discussed. Then came the question, whatever the law might have been under the act of Anne, where a work of whioh an alien friend is the author has been first published in England since 1842, was it reqalsite he should be bodily present in British territory upon the day of first publication ? We rejoioe to say it has been most distinctly held by two noble Lords, in Routledge vs. Low, that he need not be so present. Upon this point, whioh is of especial consequence to alien composers and British publishers, the then Lord Chancellor, Lord Cairns, said "My Lords, I coTe now to the mo3t important question for determination in the present case. To whom as the composer or author of a work is the protection ot copyright given T to a native-born subject of the Crown, to an alien friend sojourning in the United Kingdom, to an alien sojourning in a British colony, or to an alien friend residing wholly abroad? My Lords, in my opinion the protection is given to every author who first publishes his work in the United Kingdom, wheresoever that author may be resident, or of whatever State he may be the subject. The intention of tbe act is to obtain a benefit for the people of this country by the publication to them of works of learning, of utility, of amusement. This benefit is obtained, in the opinion of the Legislature, by offering a certain amount of protection to the author, thereby inducing him to publish his work here. This is, or may be, a benefit to the author; bat it is a benefit given, not for the sake of the author of the work, but for the sake of those to whom the work is communicated. The aim of the Legislature is to inorease the common stock of the literature of the country; and if that stock can be increased by the publication for the first time of a new and valuable work composed by an alien, who never has been in the country, I see nothing in tbe wording of the act which prevents, nothiog ia the policy of the act whioh should prevent, and everything in the professed object of the aot, and in its wide and general provisions, which should entitle such a person to the protection of the act, in return and compensation for the addition he has made to the literature of the country. My Lords, I am glad to be able to entertain no doubt that a construction of the act so consistent with a wise and liberal polioy is the proper construction to be placed upon it. Accepting the decision of this House in Joffreys vs. Boosey as to the construction of the statute of Anne, it is, I think, impossible not to see that the present statute would be incompatible with a policy so narrow as that expressed in the statute of Anne." In the same case, Lord Westbury in the course of his judgment also said: "The aot of 1842 appears to have been diotated by a wise and liberal spirit, and in the same spirit it should be interpreted, adhering, of coarse, to the settled rules ot legal construction. The preamble is, in my opinion, quite inconsistent with the conclusion that the protection given by tbe statute was intended to be confined to the works of British authors. On the con trary, it seems to contain an intimation to men of learning in every country to make the United Kingdom the first plaoe of publication of their works; and an extended term of oopy rlght throughout the whole of the British dominion is tbe reward of their so doing. So interpreted and applied, the aot is auxiliary to the advancement of learning in this coun try. Tbe real condition of obtaining itV ad vantages is tbe first publication by the author of his work in the United Kingdom- Nothing renders necessary his bodily presence here at the time, and I find it impossible to discover any reason wby it should be required, or wbat it can add to the merit of the first publi cation. By the common law of England the alien friend, though remaining abroad, may acquire and hold in England all kindH of pure personal property, and when a statute is passed whioh creates or gives peculiar protection to a particular kind of property which it deolares shall be deemed personal property, and does not exclude the alien, why is hs to be deprived of bis ordinary right of possessing sucb pro perty, or being entitled to suoh protection f It is said that tha statute is intended for the benefit of British subjects; and that is given as the reason for a decision whioh involves this consequence, viz., that a British subjeot who has bonght an unpublished work from a foreign author residing abroad, and then pub lishes it in conformity with the statute, shall have no property in that whioh he has bought and paid for, unless the foreign author hap pens on the day of publication to be bodily present for a few hours within some part of the British dominions. Barely this construc tion is injarious to the interests of the Eag llfeh public For these reasons, and not on the narrow ground that the foreign aathoreas of this work crossed the English border and stayed for a few hours on British ground dar ing the day of first publication, in oraer mat her assigns might escape from the limited views expressed in Jeffreys vs. Boosey, I am of opinion that this decree ought to be affirmed, and the appeal dismissed withooBts." It is trne that the Lords Cranwot'th and Chelmsford appear to have doubted whether the place of residence of an alien author at tbe time hia work is first published ia the United Kingdom is immaterial. Perohanoe those noble Lords would not have so doubted if their attention had been called to a statute whiuh appears to have esoaped any notioe da ring tbe argument. The Allen Aot, 7 aa1 Viet. o. G6, was passed after the Copyright Amendment Act of 1842 had expressly de clared that all oopyrlght shall be deemod per sonal property. Now the 4th section of that Alien Aot enacts tbat "every alien, being the subject of a friendly State, shall and may take and hold by purchase, gift, bequest, represen tation, or otherwise, every speoiei of personal prererty, except chattels real, as fully and tffeotually to all intents and purposes, and with the same rights, remedies, exemptions, privileges, and oapaoities as if he were a natural-born subject of the United Kingdom." Considering the wide terms of this enaotment, and tbe above opinions of Lords Cairns and Westbury, there can, as it seems to us, be no doubt that it is immaterial where an alien author may be residing when his work is first published in the United Kingdom.
