Th moment la appropriate for us to oon
elder how we sUtd wl'U our commercial
rivals across the water. Tut we are upon
the eve of an exulting cHplomatio, if not war
like, contest with Orrat Hritmn we have little
donbt. The nn'ortnuate accrediting of
Reverdy Johnson to the Con rt of St. Jatnea
appears only to have opened the Alabama
wounds afresh, aud Lai led oar people to
caln reflect npon the wrongs and outrages
committed against us when we weie strag
gling for national existence. To say that the
privateers which were launohed against us
daring our war escaped from the interdiot of
English law is only to argue that the boasted
laws of England are a faroe; and so they were,
in all that tended to honorable action towards
ns during our Rebellion. The English people
were almost a unit, from bootblack to lord,
for the destruction of the republicanism of
Horth America and this whole continent.
Iw, then, could the laws be enforoed, when
all England forbade their execution? .bog
land, therefore, cannot expeot us to Judge of
our relations with her through certain written
bat dormant codes, bat, rather, through the
national Impulse, which, for the time being,
Bets all oodes aside. We have simply to base
our whole future action upon the Alabama
claims upon this idea, and settle the whole
matter as if England had boldly deolared war
against us, instead of striking, Spaniardlike
and snakelike, without previous notioe.
While settling the Alabama claims, there is
another item to which we wish to draw the
attention of our Government. This refers to
the island of Nassau. It is a strategic point in
the hands of England whloh, in oase of any
internal or foreign trouble we may have, may
do us immense damage. We well remember
what a thorn it was in our Bide during our
late war; how it swarmed with blockade
runners; how it was virtually a point of aotive
operations against us, ani how the South re
ceived from it immense war supplies to assist
them in the attempted overthrow of our Gov
ernment. This island should be in no other
hands than oar own. We require it as a
picket post for the guarding of our Atlautio
coast. The Alabama claims should not be
settled without including this question.
We must also indicate some policy with
reference to Canada; for Canada was also a
nest of conspirators and a base of operations
against us under the almost open protection of
the English element there. Who will give
as a good war speech ia Congress upon the
question of our relations with England f We
want a speeoh with a solid ring to it that will
wake them up a little on the other side of the
water.
Grant in the Wilderness Again.
FVom the If. Y. Herald. .
: Grant is in again. Me has plunged in
rather than advanced with what the knowing
oneB regard as "due circumspection;" but
now. as in 1864. there is this great faot in his
favor, that what was most necessary was that
he Bhould benin. In 1864 Grant had the
enemy in front posted no one on our side knew
exaotlv where or how, his dispositions hidden
In the shadow of a Jungle, and behind Grant
the people were expecting of him only to go
ahead and win. lie went ahead accordingly,
and hf won not at onoe not in the way your
hero wins in a romance, but after labor that
might have worn the soul out of Sisyphus him
Self. His suocess was splendid and complete
at last, and filled the cup or tne nation's hope
Only the other day he was morally in the same
place: at the edge of a wilderness denser to
him than the Virginia forest the wilderness
of political nsage, routine, trickery, and in
trigue, ail tne patns 01 wnion are neia Dy tne
public enemy the politicians of every stripe,
the Treasury rings, the lobby jobbers, the
nigger ahriekers, and the whisky thieves.
The thing the country had made him Presi
dent for was to go ahead, and he went slash
ing into the Jungle. They say his first step
WM a blander. The first step is to be judged
when we know the last. The first step has
brought him into the midst of the fight. In
other times blundering was generally done
with when Grant got there, and the step into
the fight was one fruitful of promise to the
country. We anticipate the best results from
the simple faot that Grant is doing what he
was made President for going straight ahead
where the politicians stand in his way. Onoe
this grand action opened, who oan doubt how
it will close when he remembers that what
was begun in the Wilderness was finished at

Agreement on an Important Point.
fVotn the JT. T. Timet.
' The popular judgment on the debt question
and the question o( resumption has been ad
mirably expressed by the President. Main
tain inviolate the national eredit, but while
respecting the rights of the creditor, let not
the interests of the debtor be overlooked.
Neither honor nor expediency requires that
the national energies be overstrained to pay
obligations in advance of their maturity.
True wisdom, meanwhile, dictates the reduc
tion of fiscal burdens, and such au acquisition
of financial strength as shall by natural agen
cies restore specie payments. When green
backs are as good as gold the management of
the debt will be comparatively easy; but re
sumption rum t come through the growth of
trade, the development of industry, and the
prudent administration of financial affairs
not from enactments conceived in the exclu
sive inteieat of tbe creditor class, and the
operations of which would be fraught with
disaster to all else.
These are the general ideas to which the
President has given his sanction, and they
are in harmony with the action of the House
In the late session. So far as the debt is con
cerned they accord literally with the terms of
the Publio Credit bill, as reported from the final
committee of conference, ice nrst section,
after solemnly pledging the faith of the Gov
ernment to redeem its bonds with coin, sets
forth this Important proviso:
"But none of said Interest-bearing obllga.

That is to say, there shall be no preoi pltanoy
in the matter of reduoing the debt. To do it
is a duty not to be evaded, when the country

The Alabama srUa1liiH and the Bri
tish Tress.
From the N. Y. Timet.
The hopeless tone in whloh they speak of
the Alabama negotiations indicates that the
British press, for the"most part, despair of
their future regarding Brother Jonathan, pos
sibly, as a heady, intractable, and innately
perverse or "contrary" young fellow, whose
very waywardness bars the hope of reason
able settlement. Even the London Times
mournfully says, "We have done our best;
we have gone to the very verge if we have
not transgressed it of national humiliation."
isut is this so r lias tne British Govern
ment "done its best?" On the oontrary, it
has been in the position for several years of
vexatiously delaying settlement on ten thou
sand pretexts and excuses. We grant that
the British press and the British publio, so
far as their voice has been beard in general
meetings or otherwise, have mainly met the
Alabama claims in the right spirit. And it
is on this very ground that it has always
appeared to us that, with suoh a national
spirit manifest, the form of the treaty would
hardly be likely to bar suoh a settlement as
we desire. But when tne British press or
publio affirms that "we have done our best,"
it is fair to say that "we" cannot say as muoh
of the British Government, whioh is the only
party officially known to the actual negotia
tions, tor over tnree years tnat Government
devoted itself, not to the business of paying,
but to that of sell-exculpation.
A man owes his neighbor a debt; and, with
perhaps instinctive reluctance to pay, begins
to show, instead, now unjust the claim is.
His neighbor resorts to other means, aud,
when the debtor is ready to pay, there is an
additional settlement required of legal costs,
or what not. The analogy is not perfect, but
sufficiently so to explain the posit on of the
British Government. At the close of the war,
Mr. Seward presented the bill of damages
caused by the Alabama for Great Britain to
pay. The London Times and most other
papers admit that their Government is respon
sible, and if responsible now it certainly was
then. Yet that Government, instead of pay
ing, spent several years in showing why it
should not pay. It thereby raised a variety of
exoiting questions regarding "English recog
nition of the Confederate States," and so
forth, none of which were necessary to the
payment of the bill. And when at last it
consented to the arbitration of the . whole
matter, it in no terms admitted its responsi
bility lor tne debt.
Now, it is generally understood that the
very submission of the Alabama claims to
arbitrament is, probably, in effeot, au admis
sion of English responsibility for the Ala
bama's escape, and, on that theory, we have
supported the projeot of a mixed commission.
Nevertheless, when it comes to a question of
whether the British Government has "done
its best," we must suggest that something a
good deal better for it, for Great Britain and
lor us. would have been to settle these claims
at once, without raising a question implied
all the time, we admit regarding British
responsibility for Confederate recognition,
which issue, when raised and urged, our
people are quite as sensitive upon as the
people of Great Britain.
Earl Russell and Lord Stanley took the
ground that it would be humiliating to make
the formal acknowledgment of responsibility
now discussed. But it was they who put
themselves in that predioament. Surely it
would not have been humiliating to pay for
the damage of a cruiser escaping from their
ports by their own laches, any more thau if
we had had to compensate Spain for damages
done by the Peruvian iron-olads which we
suoceeded in stopping. The English press and
people mainly concede that the Alabama's
damages ought to be paid; it could hardly,
tnereiore, nave Deen numtnating to pay them
at tbe outset, without words, and without
committing the nation to a position whioh
may appear humiliating to withdraw from.
The English Premier has found no difficulty
in amending a "mistake" in the British view
regarding tbe Rebellion, in a private letter to
a inena in Amerioa, nor has Earl Kus3ell, at
a public banquet te Minister Adams, nor in a
private conversation to Mr. Johnson in
which last the sins of the Government for the
Alabama's esoape were laid upon the shoal
ders of a sick and insane subordinate. Bat
nothing of this concession of responsibility ap
pnara iu me diplomatic correspondence or
official documents; and hence we may insist
11 A . ... 1v ... . ...
mat u is tne uriusn Ministers, rather than
.brother Jonathan, who must be accounted re
sponsible for that original delay of settlement
which, we trust, sooner or later, and, at all
events peaoeiuiiy, will come.
ihe l'aruontd Criminals Defrauded by
uruui.
Prom the N. Y. World,
Whether the pardons issued bv President
Johnson daring the last hours of Lis official
life weie widely iseued we doubt; but, if par
dons of Jacob and Moses Dupuy were really
issued in due form of law, as the administra
tion organs all assert, voiilirmlng our own
special despatches, and were sent by the
President's order to Marshal Murray, or if
pardons for Blaiadell, Eckel, and Alcock were
delivered to them by order of the Esecutlve,
we do not quite see how they are to be re
voked, unlees the criminals reject the docu
ments. The power of President Johnson in
the premises is indisputable. His pardoning
power was unlimited. For the pflennes par
doned, the aocused are beyond the reach of
punishment of any kind. Perhaps a pardon,
like a deed, requires a delivery and accept
ance; and President Grant or Secretary Wash
burne may intend to claim that the pardons
in the hands of Marshal Murray have not been
delivered, and so can be withdrawn. Bat the
criminals applied lor them, aLd in response
they weie issued and sent to Murray as the
person holding custody of the offenders. The
contract between the President and the moving
parties, aocording to the analogy of a deed,
was complete when the former had dope the
aot which set the latter free so far as the Gov
ernment is concerned.
BcBides, there iB no law better settled than
that an aot within the jurisdiction of the
President, lawfully done by him, cannot be
revised by one of his successors. The con
trary doctrine would give an endless succes
sion of reviews and reversals, and there would
be no security or stability of rights of pro
perty, of liberty, or life. The Supreme Court

But what dons Graut or Waihbarne or Ral
lies know about the laivl
k ttuftiuess Administration.
from the A. T. Wond.
It it a pity that Mr. Grant does not grasp
the idt-a that the Presidency is not a djuailon,
but a trust, and that its lunctions are, there
lore, to be exercised not to muoh on personal
preferences as with an eye slogle to tne good
of the Republic So far, it would seem thU
be regards the position as a oandy cornucopia
from whloh he is to extract a sngar-platu for
tbe good boys who have given him some of
their plum-cake; aud accordingly it is that
there is a keen point in holy Uu's reported
jest, to the effect that John A. Griswold was
not appointed "because he didn't subscribe
enough."
Thus it will be remembered that Mr. Stewart
was out early in favor of the present unhappy
occupant of the White House, bled libsrally
for campaign purposes, and, even so late as
tbe day before inauguration, was chief in that
friendly delegation which presented Mr. Grant
with a check for $65,000 and the title-deeds
of the house that sum was supposed to have
just purohased from him. Mr. Washbnrne's
benefactions we all know. They could not
possibly have been higher. They are those
whioh a man owes to his creator. As for Mr.
Borie, it is understood that his checks came
so fast and full at the time of the October elec
tions, when Pennsylvania, freighted with the
fate of the Presidency, hung trembling in tbe
balanoe, that Mr. Grant was lad to seek the
acquaintance of the liberal Frenchman who
has lust been remembered with the Navy.
Mr. Hoar's contributions, air. uox's oontri
butions, Mr. Creswell's contributions to this
dona ion party do not precisely appear, but, if
tendered, of two things we are sure: n ret, that
they have not been forgotten; and, seoondly,
were not refused. This latter appears from
the singular aptitude of Mr. Grant for taking
anything and everything but advice. If a
horse, good; thank you. If a house, still better,
and thank you again, it another bouse,
donbly indebted. If a $65,000 oheuk, jast the
thing ; let us have peace. Bat no advice.
Rather have a horse.
Ex-President Johnson did other than this.
When, on his accession, a handsome carriage
and fine span of horses were sent him from
this city, he deolined to receive that or any
other gift, deeming such procedure unbecom
ing in a Unlet Magistrate; and yet wnat Mr.
Johnson would not permit by inference, Mr.
Grant openly manifests in deed,
Mexieti.
From the JV. Y. Tribune.
The poet, statesman, or philosopher who
originated the emblem of Mexioo has a better
right to invention than most ol his compeers.
The leopards of England are subjects of fierce
controversy. Tbe bees, the lilies, tne imperial
eagle, and the Ga'lio cock have been oritioiaed
without end, but tne tnorny points or tne
caotuB on whioh is perohed the Mexican bird
and the serpent twined around mm, are so
dearly founded in truth that they defy oriti
cism. v rom tne day wnen Montezuma resigned
bis feather circlet to tne lion baud of uortes,
the paths of Mexican dominion have been
thorny, and the serpent, ignoring the weak
ness of the snake-in-the-grass policy, has been
rampant and venomous. The last drama of
the empire has hardly closed on the shudder
ing audience of the civilized world, when the
curtain rises to a fresh oratorio of horrors.
For the credit of humanity, and as an instal
ment of retributive justice which rarely mani
fests itself in so singular a manner, Miramon
and Marquez perished in tbe last massaore.
Probably neitner 01 mem in tneir last mo
ments thought of the thousands they had
murdered, though the ghost of the surgeon (a
civilian), called irom me peasiae 01 me
wounded soldier at lacubaya wnose arm he
had just amputated, and shot without trial,
then and there, in bis shirt sleeves, in the
square of the hospital, for tending Miramon's
and Marquez's enemies, mi gut nave a moment
spared them. But a greater thau either is left
behind, and, though past the age of ordinary
men. Is aotive to do mischief. Who, in Ame
rica, has not execrated the name of Santa
Anna r For years past, bis lite at the island
of St. Thomas has been a byword. The snow
hill walls whloh hemmed in his garden at the
top of the higher of the two pyramids whioh
dominate that harbor, looked on scenes of
oriental splendor and debauohery which served
to "point a moral and adorn a tale." It was
known that the General carried with him on
his enforoed retreat from his native country
fabulous wealth, and the use he made of it
was quite as unscrupulous as the means by
which it had been raked together. He escaped
immolation by the happiest aooideut during
his last visit to Yucatan, though the tegjs of
Amerioan protection was never invoked for a
more unworthy cause. Clinging to li'e by a
very thread, with no human tie, for his chil
dren are almost incapable. Santa Anna is
again using his wealth for the disturbance of
Mexico and greedily stretching out a paisied
hand for the glaive of armed power. Hap
pily foreign, intervention has been proved so
latal a mistake, its results have been inva-
liably so disastrous, that all attempts in
France and Spain have hitherto failed. A
mock sympathy with the Cubans on the part of
ceitain Mexicans seems to snare the same fate,
and Santa Anna is not destined to seize the
occasion. But it is no wonder he calls "How
lorg how long?" ,When will the measure of
infamy be full in that unhappy country,
ushered, as it was, into the family of nations
as a new world counterbalancing the old in
the imaginative dreams of independence and
freedom indulged in by statesmen f Centuries
of misrule, bad government, worse faith, pub
lio and private, have gradually produced one
of the most degrading spectacle that the
civilized world has yet seen. And all this
amidst a wealth of material and physical
riches such as requires a poet's pen to de
scribe.
The Legal-tender Decision.
From the N. Y, Tribune.
The decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, in Bronsou against Rhodes, it
is now well understood, determines in ettsct
that the Legal-tender act of 1802 has no appli
cation to contracts made before its enactment.
It is true that the Court might have put its
deoision udou the ground that the contract in
that particular case called specifically for
"gold ooln." but only two of the eight judges
retted their oninions nron that ground. Some
crititUm has been made upon this deoision,
under the supposition that it held the statute
to be in part unconstitutional. This is a mis
take. The Court wholly avoided the question
ol the constitutionality of the law, and placed
its decision upon the ground that the law
could not be Presumed to have a retroaotlve
effect.
It Is a singular, or rather a noteworthy faot
(for blunders lu legislation are far from being
singular), that the language of the statute is
so vague as fully to justify this interpreta
tion. It deolares that the paper to be Issued
under it shall be "a legal tender for all debts,"
but does not sntnilfv debts antecedently con
tracted. Now it la very old and well sottUd
doctrine of theHugllh omru (from Mau w
derive all our rules or lutnrprMiniuiu), thai a
Riatnte shall cnvnr ! cotistiaed a having a
retroautiveffVot, niilx that iuteutiou apoHarg
explicitly by the words of tha aiatute. Tais
is not a question or oousiiiuuoual law, In the
American sense 01 the phrase, beoau the
British Parliament Is not restricted by any
written constitution. It is a rule whioh hat
its origin in a strong snuse of tbe iohxreut
injustice of retrospective laws, and it la firmly
maintained by every court of justice.
The Court of Appeals iu this State, in de
ciding the case of Meyer against Roosevelt (27
INew XorK Kporis, 4lH), which is the leadtug
case npon this subject, did not oonsider this
branch of tbe question, but assumed that the
statute was meant to affaot contracts pre
viously existing, as well as those whioh should
be afterwards made. Tbe Supreme Court, iu
giving a purely prospective operation to the
law, has deolared no new doctrine, ani, how
ever disappointing tbe deolslon may be to
tbose who have thus far delayed the payment
of old debts, there oan be no sound objection
80 it. We have little doubt that this decision
foreshadows an ultimate determination that
the entire legal-tender provision is unconsti
tutional, indeed, we think that the supreme
Court is seeking, by this and slmil ir decisions,
to prepare the country for its final disposition
of the whole subject. And prudent men will
hasten to put their business upon such a foot
ing as will enable them to meet such a deoisien
without loss.
