WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1869. l(lMlt(lon In ereitt BHtnln and la the United States. SmoLTAKBocs with the inauguration of a new administration in the United States, the f jrelgn mails brought detailed aocounts of the opening of a session of a British Parliament reconstructed on modern prlnolplea. The ' Queen's speeoh, delivered on the 16th nit., is the best English prototype of a Presidential Inaugural, especially when, as in this instance, It glres the first authoritative announcement 0f the policy of a new Ministry. There is a curious contrast between the topics of interest and ot contemplated aotion in the twe countries whioh is highly credita ble to America. Nearly all our troubles are of comparatively recent origin, growing oat of the war, and in a fair way of speedy ad justment. The only permanent difficulty to be apprehended here is the continued pres sure of the national debt; but, at the worst, its aggregate amount Is much less than the debt of Great Britain, and there is a fair prospect that, by the exercise of economy on the one hand and a fitriot collection of the revenues on the other, our debt will be speedily re . duced. ". The leading, if not the only, topio of com. mon interest in both nations, is the unsettled : dispute in reference to the Alabama claims. ; The Queen expressed the hope that the result . of the recent negotiations "may be to place on a' firm and enduring basis the friendship whioh should ever exist between England and Amerioa." Her Ministers, however, have apparently ceased to anticipate the ratification Of the Johnson-Clarendon treaty, and there is a general confession that it was idle to expect that a definite adjustment would be made by the gormandizing ambassador of an unpopular ' nd expiring Amerioan administration. Grant's inaugural contains no direct re ference to the Alabama question, bat his declaration that if any foreign nation deals nnjustly with us we may be compelled to pay ' them baok in their own coin, tonohes the ohord of British sensitiveness on this subject. Oar ooasins across the water would find it deoidedly disagreeable and inoonvenient,iu case a quasi Irish Eepublio was organized, to have their ships captured and their oom meroed destroyed by orulsers fitted oat in . Amerioan ports, yet if they are unwilling to make a satisfactory acknowledgment and atonement for their suspicious neglect daring the Rebellion, they will have no jast cause of complaint if, in the future difficulties that arise between Great Britain and revolutionists or foreign foes, this country assumes a nen- . trality as insidious and damaging as that which furnished Semmes with the weapons of ' piratical warfare. America has at least the ' consciousness of knowing that her sufferings from the Alabama are over, while England feels that reparation or retribution is yet to oome It is on questions of domestic rather than of , foreign policy that the strongest contrast in . the political condition of the two countries is displayed. The Reform Parliament of 1869 is 1 asked to devise measures for the overthrow of abuses which have long since been swept I away in this country, and its main business will be to advanoe slowly and cautiously in a path of progress that has long been a broad highway on this side of the Atlantic In addressing the House of Commons the Queen recommends that inquiry should be made into the present modes of oondaotiug " elections. This is an initial step towards the establishment of the system of voting by bal lot whioh prevails in nearly every American State, and it is but the beginning of a serious effort to reform an abuse which is here anti quated and almost forgotten. Relief is next asked ' 'or some classes o t o jo a piers from hardships in respect to eating," and this clause is explained by British jour nals to mean that at present tenants of cer tain olaases are compelled to pay the taxes upon the property they oooupy, even when they are liable to be ejeoted at a moment's : notice, and that some landlords are base 1 enough to take unscrupulous advantage o( this system of legalized oppression. Attention is then directed to "bills for the extension and improvement of eduoatlon in . Scotland," and something is said about in- creasing the effectiveness of the revenues of the endowed schools of England, but the duty of providing for popular education in the latter oountry is again indefinitely postponed, ' and it is acknowledged that the subject is surrounded by so many difficulties that it can never be adjusted unless it la made the lead Ing business of an entire Parliamentary 1 session. - Then the House of Commons is directed to . consider the subject of bankruptcy, with a Tlew "to the abolition of imprisonment for debt." Here, again, Great Britain is preparing to debate a question which was coasidered and decided here long ago. Finally, the Queen recommends the con MaritlAn of "the ecclesiastical arrangements of Ireland," and this is the leading task of the day. The founders or this nation made short work of all such iisaes when they declared that there should be no connection whatever between Church and State, but Great Britain ia akIv tttirinnlnflr to realize the monstrous jDjnstiod of the policy whioh taxes Irish Cathollos for the support of churches they never enter, and whlnb In many instnv v. - BoamodaU yer few Protestant worshipper. A Republic er a Monarchy ferSpal" Aftkb a long delay the Spanish Cortes has as sembled, and the questton as to the form of government to be adopted has come up for settlement. The procrastinating policy of the Provisional Junta afforded ample opportuni ties for the first emotions of disinterested patriotism excited by the snooeas of the revo lution to die out, and for the intrigues ot politloal partisans to be set on foot. The breaoh between the Republicans and Monarch ists has been growing wider everyday, and the difficulties of a satisfactory settlement are greater than ever. While it Is generally ad mitted by the more thoughtful observers abroad, as well as in Spain, that the Spanish people are unprepared for a republican form of government, the difficulty, or in fact the possibility, of finding an entirely suitable and satisfactory person to ascend the vaoant throne of Isabella II has given the Repablloan movement a decided strength. The cable informs us that there was a stormy scene during the session of the Cortes on Monday, and that the Republioan members bitterly assailed the Ministry for their monar chical proclivities, aoousing them of having smuggled the Duke de Montpensier into the country for the purpose of placing him on the throne, and demanding that the Duke should be deprived of his rank as a Marshal of Spain. The Duke de Montpensier was defended by General Prim and Admiral Topete, the last named declaring that a kingdom with Mont pensier on the throne was preferable to a republic. Marshal Serrano made a temperate address, deprecating the attaoks of the Republicans as unfair, and asserting the sovereign authority of the Cortes in the determination of the ferm of government and the choice of a ruler. The ministers appear to have been less exoited than their assailants, censoious of the supe riority of their position as custodians of the power of the Government. The Republicans, probably, have good reason to suspect that intrigues have been at work to defeat them, and to establish a monarchy in defianoe of their wishes and at all hazards. The situation is anything but promising for the future peaoe and welfare of the oountry, whichever party wins. The probabilities are that the Duke de Montpensier will be chosen king, but he will find opposed to him a large, powerful, rapidly increasing, and embittered Republican party, who will not fail to give him trouble. Tbe Treasury Department. ... Tub Cabinet difficulty was solved yesterday afternoon by the formal deolination of the Secretaryship of the Treasury by Mr. A. T Stewart. Under the circumstances, nothing else could have been done. It was very evi dent that Congress has too high a regard for the public welfare to establish the dangerous precedent of exempting a particular person from the operation of a law which has been in force since the establishment of the Govern, ment. Unless Mr. Stewart were the only per son in the country capable of administering the affairs of the department, it would have been exceedingly unwise to have repealed or modified a statute which has stood so long, and which is certainly dictated by expediency, if not by necessity. The proposed temporary transfer of Mr. Stewart's property and business to a board of trustees would not have been a oomplianoe with the spirit, and soarcely with the letter, of the law of 1789. When Mr. Stewart, how ever, in his letter published to-day, asserts that the disabilities under whioh he was placed were merely of a technical oharaoter, we think he underrates the importance of the whole question. The course of the new Pre sident in . the matter certainly entitles the oountry to anticipate on his part a atrial oom plianoe with his pledge to exeoute the laws as be finds them, whether they happen to suit him or not. His yielding to the will of the people in this case is a happy augury of a policy which has for its funda mental principle a decent regard for the rights and wishes of those by whom he was placed in power a polloy of whioh we have seen but little during the last four years. The withdrawal of Mr. Stewart leaves the most important position in the Cabinet vaoant. The two names moet prominently mentioned in connection with the position are those of Hon. George S. BoutweU of Massachusetts and Hon. Henry G. Stebblns of New York. If Mr. Boutwell is -taken into the Cabinet, how ever, the retirement of Judge Hoar will be rendertd necessary; and to avoid this unplea sant coarse on the part of the new Attorney General, it U barely possible that the prize may fall to Mr. Stebblns, or some other gen tleman from Mr. Stewart's own State. It is certain that the appointment of either Mr. Boutwell or Mr. Stebblns will give almost universal satisfaction throughout the country. Vnhappy McKiiiNtry ! The poor legislative idiot from Backs county, who was prevailed upon to act as a" catapaw in the fantastio editorial Broad street railroad bill, has already suffered severely from con tact with the fire. Yesterday afternoon the House granted him leave of absence, "in con. sequence of his barn and contents having been destroyed by fire." If MoKlnstry enjoyed a reputation for brains, the conflagration of his barn would be a trivial matter in comparison with the combustion of his own individual contents. Under the circumstances, however, we are inclined te regard the destruction of the barn as the more serious matter, even if the barn were the meanest apology for a barn to be found in the whole of Bucks county. The contents of MoKlnstry have evidently been upon the point of combustion for some time, and when be submitted to be made a fool of in that burlesque Broad street matter, it Is not a matter of surprise that the impending catas trophe was preoipltated. We hope that, be fore he returns to the legislative halls at I Uarrteburg, MoKlnstry will refit his Internal ' apparatus ia the most approved fire-proof ' style. An mdiamutwr pv-yii tu do ivr hi oonrolenoe, but for digesting purposes we certainly would recommend a oatt-iron ar rangement. Thb Constitutional Amsndmrnt Is now before the State Legislature, an attested oopy of It having been submitted by Governor Geary yesterday, while a Joint resolution pro viding for its ratification has been presented in each house. There Is no reason why oar representatives should not proceed to the immediate consideration and disposition of the eubjeot. All the arguments against manhood suffrage have been ventilated to the fall length of Demooratlo oapaolty, and are narrowed down to a discreditable prejudloe against a certain shade in the color of a man's sklr. The great State of Pennsylvania should not hesitate a moment to rise above suoh a trivial and oontemptible subterfuge. Thb PoBCHapB or Tools at tiib Navy Yard. On our sixth page will be found the mi nority report of the Naval Committee of the Ilonse of Representatives, signed by Messrs. Kelley, Stevens, and Ferry, on the purohase of tools for the Philadelphia Navy Yard by Chief Engineer Zeller. The report of the ma. jorlty of the committee we expeot to be able to publish In the coarse of a few dys. The Grand Jcbt yesterday showed that its members had some regard for common de oenoy, as well as for the obligation of their oaths, by ignoring the bills against ex-Pollce-men Irons and Huasey. Alderman Devltt's infamous attempt to defy the law was thereby defied in turn, as it should be. The Lake Summon and Mississippi Rail road. We call attention to tbe advertisement, in another column, of Jay Cooke & Co. and E. W. Clark & Co., fiscal egtnts ot the Lake Supe rior and Mississippi Railroad Ojmpany, who offer for sale tbe first mortgage bonds or tbat company. The prloe at wblob these are plaoed at tbe commencement of the sales nlnety-flveand Interest is certainly low, when It la considered that tbey are seven per cent, bonds, prinolpal and Interest being pay able In gold. Tbey are first mortgages upon tbe railroad, its rolling stock, etc, and are likewise secured by ft choice tract of land in mi n n net rt a greater In area than the whole State of Dela ware, which will doubtless recommend them to investors and persohs holding Government bonds who desire to make an exchange.
