THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. From the A'. '. llerahl By tcleirrnru through tlio Atlantic liavn a rellex of tho effect produced cable we In reat Britain by the publication of Pcnntor Hnmncr's fiicccli on mo Aiiiuiiinii cmnns aimcuiiy, uw wcu n of tlio initiatory mjitation commenced by the I'nirllHU press on tlio receipt of tlio intelligence of the rejection by tlio United States Sonato of tho Johnson-Stanley treaty or convention of settlement, negotiated by theno ministers when Minuter Johnson first arrived In London. The matter Is of serious import, and worthy tho attcntivo consideration of our Executlvo and tho TK'onlo at large, as it shadows forth a eertuiu position likelv to be adopted by England in reply, In the words of her Cabinet ministers and tho ex pression of influential writers of her press. The Encllsh journals have commented exten sively on the subject. Tho London Star, the organ of Mr. John Bright, and which as such exercises a Tory considerable influence over the minds of the people of England, asserts that Mr. Sumnor's demands aro "now ami startling" In their char iictcr and must bo regarded merely as "onor mous " and that If they only shadow tho Instruc tions given by tho Cabinet in Washington to Mr Motlov, that gentleman will stand in a very different position in London from that occupied by Mr. Johnson, who is classed a "a genial diner out " now about to bid adieu to tho Court. President Grant's desiro for tho continuance of pcaeo between the countries Is, as allogcd, of doubtful sincerity, and as ho wants the natural ability of the late Mr. Lincoln, being noithcr a lawyer nor a politician, he is by nature "in tensely American." The Star, having; thus Induced tho inference that General Grant may become dangerous, goes on to deplore tho escape of the Alabama, perceiving, as is acknowledged, that that fact established a very dangerous pre cedent in the event of the future occurrcnoc of a national contingency similar to that which ex isted In America at that period. Mr. Motley s rejection as American Minister to tho Court is gain threatened in caso his instructions should approach towards Mr. Sumner's expressions cither in verbiage or tone. Such demands aro utterly untenable, and her Majesty's ministers must be careful in entertaining them. Such is the sum and substance of Mr. Bright's advice as conveyed In the London Star, and in it we can perceive a lull measure of Quaker repentance, Manchester commercial caution, and words of ministerial evasion, such as are used by all Bri tish miuisters when seated in the council room in Downing street. The London Times publishes nn article breathing forth a spirit of war in defense of the Treasury cash, clttssiug Mr. Sumner's money estimate of tho damages as "portentous" and "euormous," and although his address is worthy of attentive consideration, no contrition or humiliation should either be expressed or en dured by England; for if such were to happen, tho case would be prejudged against her, and any project of an equitable settlement defeated. The Senator's arguments are in this respect "feminine," "unreasonable," and "unstatesman likc,"a description in the accuracy of which the Loudon Times will find it difficult to make Americans believe, and to which tho English people evidently do not assent, as shown by the great pains which are being taken to divert their judgment from a consider ation of the real points at issue by inflammatory declamation. We are next told that England s having "thrown her sword" on the side of the Confederates during the war would have altered the issue as in favor of tho Union a statement which we may be permitted to more than doubt, and of the truth of which her rulers were cer tainly not convinced at tho time ns shown by their hesitating policy towards both belligerents, the neutrality proclamation, blockade running, and general gauio of "fast and loose" without action. The London Times takes a fling at American "journalists," the 'viliflers"of Eng land, and makes way for tho London Standard, a Tory organ, which breathes forth a spirit of defiance to our people, and will resist a "capitu lation" by England to the last. This position is denied by the Liverpool I'ost, which says that England cannot afford a quarrel, large or small, with America. bo much for the outdoor expression. In Cab inet Council the subject was debated by Mr. Bright, Mr.Gladstono, and Lord Clarendon. Mr. Bright refuses to entertain Mr. Sumner's claims, Lord Clarendon deprecates extreme views, while Mr. Gladstone intimates that he has had assur ances of a friendly settlement at an early date. It will thus bo seen, both from our complete Teport by cable telegram and new advices, that the Alabama claims difficulty must soon come to an issue an issue cither by peaceful arbitration and the footing up and prompt payment of our bill of damaires. or war. To England we tender tho choice. Which will she accept ? Our people arc aggrieved, but prepared to settle the dispute cither way. BROAD-BRIM AND BREECII-CLOUT. Vrvm the N. Y. Time. As Colonel Parker is to give tho new effort to civiliiic, and perhaps even Quakerize (who knows ?). the hitherto hostile Indians every ad vantage for a fair trial, and as the Friends, on their part, aro said to have selected as agents men distinguished for a rare union of busiuess tact with benevolence, of wide knowledge of human nature with spotless integrity, we may declare that the scheme is launched under favor ing a uspiees. And thero are other promising omens in the very peculiar circumstances of the "Indian situation" at this moment. In the first place not to say it iu any disparaging way the hostile tribes were soundly thrashed by Sheridan and Custer last winter, and hence may be ap proached with peace ollerings, without fear of the motive being misinterpreted. Again, the new agents and superintendents go well sup plied with what are usually called "tho sinews of war," but which are as emphatically the sinews of peace. They ci rry for disbursement tho entire treaty appropriations of tho House Bomethlng over two millions; and though it is true that they take none of tho funds proposed under the unratified treaties of last year, vet they have in their place the discretionary fund of two millions, to be expended, as Congress ordered, in "civilizing" the savago tribos. Now. it is to be noted that, uuderthis arrauge ment. we have still suosiiiug all tho benefit which has ever been claimed by its friends in lxhalf of tho Iudiau Bureau machinery. In tho next place wo may count on having purified tho iniri'iiii organism bv the introduction ol honor. honoetv. fidelitv. business energy, philanthropy, nd patriotism as its motive power, iu tlio place of the selfish greed, the treachery, the negli rnnen. tho knavcrv. and the Wold plunder, It is . luinicd. which have sometimes disgraced it. Vinatlv. we have, for the first time iu our his tory, tho two great bodies of Government olll Hals who come in contact with tho Indian work lmr biinnoniouslv. instead of at cross-purposes, Ei.r tbn first time, wo say, tho army and tlio agents are at apparent accord; and the spectacle of ttie President, the General-in-Chief, the Secre tary of War. tho Secretary of the Interior, nud the Indian Commission pulling all one way, In stead of three different ways, at least, a hitherto, is most happily significant. Should the new commission save us money, it would be Kratit viug; should it save us from war, it would lie Btill more so: but should it both save us money and save us from war. It would mark a new era in tlio civil service. SPANISH FEROCITY AND WEAKNESS From the If. V. Sun. Without choosing to nnalyzo its effective force, in which regard it is probably about as vuiiil in the Pone's bull against the comet, the wonting of Count Vulinasi-da's proclamation is worthy of consideration, both as to tho spirit in wl.ici. it U dictated and as a aimiplo of the niiimuH that rules the Spanish authorities iu CuT-a. ... Valiniifitda, though .positively, according to latest accounts, shut up in a locality which once ww? llic, Vywja vl Baymuu, Jnif . from . which ho irce nor I ponsable I ntirl rinfnrhmc.nU for tho almost India snpplieo of provisions Valmtsccla, wno nomi nally commands the whole Eastern Department, Issues a proclamation that cvory male over fif teen years of ngo, found out of his domicile, shall "bo executed. Kirst of all, this part of tho proclamation can refer solely to children and old men incapable of bearing arms, and there fore, if not Intended purely to inaugurato a mas sacre of the innocents, could have no other effect than that of driving all males capablo of bearing arms into tho camps of the insurgents. The second part of the proclamation, If possible, still more fully confirms the old proverb of "Qnos )eus," etc. Women found outsldo of thoir houses without sufficient cause, forsooth I and the judges of the sufficiency of tho causo Spanish soldiers ! The razing of the houses to the ground is of minor import. The people of the Eastern Department aro of pastoral character, and their habitations correspond. They aro not marble palaces. The animus, however, whlck dictated so bar bnrlc a proclamation gives rise in reasoning men's minds to ot her considerations. Wo have been told, and aro being told daily, that tho revolution Is conquered; that, at tho worst, every semblance of insurgency will bo oblite rated in epochs varying at most from twenty to sixty days. If these statements tally littlo with the daily supplications of General Dulco to Spain for further recruits, they still serve, in conjunction with this proclamation of Valma seda and tho character of tho Spaniard as de duced from history in parallel cases, to give us an inside view of tho true state of tho case. Spain's motto, whenever tho Cuban has dared to lift his volco in tho assertion of civil rights common to tho subjocts of nil constitutional monarchies, has ever been, "Cuba shall be Spanish or African;" and an impending dread of a second Santo Domingo has hitherto been suffi cient to quell any breath of freedom. To-day, the case is changed. Cubans have cast the die. They know that if, by misfortune, Spain should reconquer the island, their condition will be utterly hopeless; and tho Spanish rulers, fully cognizant of tho spirit which animates them, seeing that the bugaboo of an African massacre has lost its terror, come out in their true char actor, and their watchward now Is, "Leleiida est Cuba." This is what Valmaseda means. MINISTER WASHBURNE. From the A. 1'. World. Mr. Elihu B. Washburne, Minister Plenipoten tiary to France by the appointment of President Grant, sailed on Saturday from this port for Paris to enter upon tho duties of his mission. If wc were to judge by tho place he holds in the estimation of tho President, Mr. Washburne should occupy the first rank among Amorican statesmen, lie is tho first man upon whom General Grant resolved to bestow a high office; ho is tho only man in respect to whose fitness the President dl4 . not think it necessary to de liberate; he headed. . the list of tho names first sent to the Senate;, and after being appointed to the highest office in the gift of the President, he was assigned, after his voluntary resignation, to the foreign mission which requires more varied accomplishments than any 'other post in the diplomatic service. Tho natural inference would be that the man on whom public honors are thus lavished must be our foremost statesman. Unfortunately, neither the career of Mr. Wash burne nor the estimate put upon him by the country supports the judgment of President Grant. Public opinion would not have assigned him any office of great dignity; and even it his talents were equal to a higu position, tho Secre taryship of Stato and the mission to Fraucc are the two offices to which his capacity and train ing are least adapted, bucu anilities as air. Washburne possesses arc uot of the diplomatic order. lie 1 impetuous, passionate, brusque; he is conspicuously destitute of literary and social accomplishments; ho must always iuako a mean figure in tho society of cultivated men; ho knows nothing of foreign politics beyond what ho has picked up by the cursory perusal of American newspapers. Even Gene ral Grant, narrow, obtuse, and ill informed as ho is, would never have made a spontaneous selection of Mr. Washburne for cither of the po.sts to which ho appointed hlra. These greut positions were given to him only because he requested them, and because the President felt that he could deny no request of a man to whom ho was uader such deep per sonal obligations. After the election Washburne intimated his desire for the Paris mission, and General Grant acceded. Just before tho inaugu ration, Washburne, presuming still further upon the President's gratitude, told him he would like, for the honor and eclat of the thing, to bo nominated to the Senate for Secretary of tlio Treasury. (We aro stating facts, and defy con tradiction.) General Grant replied to this inso lent request (certainly Insolent, although General Grant may not have so considered it), "that can't be. for the incumbent" (meaning Stewart) "is fixed; but I can, if you wish, send your namo to the Senate for Secretary of State." And lie did, with the understanding that Washburne was not to qualify, but to bo contented with the empty honor. (Wo wish it to be understood that wo aro not narrating at random, but reciting facts.) It is not easy to conceive of anything more bhameless and dis- reputablo than such a traffic of vanity, such an ignoble prostitution ot tlio nigiiest omce in tne gift of the President to create a counterfeit reputation for a small man. Such a transaction a transaction so hollow, deceptive, and trick- lsn is disgrace! ill to both parties. It was as infamous for General Grant to make a sham ap pointment ot tills Kind as it was lor Wasnburuo to violate the understanding, and undertake the duties of the office. For what purpose Wash burne held on to tb.fi offico in violation of his pledge is not known. As lie asked at first for tho Treasury, which has more valuable patron age than any other Cabinet place, it may bo presumed that lie intended to cstahlLsn a wnstitmrno power Dy miing the public service. Willi tils creatures a supposition wiikii is sup potted by the fact that he actually undertook to dispose of nil tho most valuable patronage of the State Department. Gibbs was Washburue's vicegerent aud factotum, and he got General Grnnt to promise to make Gibbs Consul-Genernl at Paris. After Mr. l'Vh had been appointed and before his arrival in Washington (he was de tained iu New York a few days), Washburne and Grant together un.inged for a large number of diplomatic and consular appointments, thus attempting to folr.t upon Mr. Fish tho creatures and tools of Washburne. Some of these were i-o intolerable that .Secretary Fish would not tolerate them, and their names were, not sent to the Senate. Oih-rs were noinicnte including Jones, liudsor, Pile, and uu ny consuls. llicsn undigiutieu n an rimes are sufficient to stamp Washburne as a low intriguer; a vulgar demagogue aud charlatan. There is nothing in ins history and antecedents to rebut this theory of his character. He has been long in Congress longer than any other member of the House but he has owed his constant re-elections to tlio cunning with wl i h h0 lias catered t j the local interests of his district. Ho has never done any thing creditable or remarkable in a national point of view: but he has suecee led n bleeding the Ireasuiy for paUic buildings and other im provements in tlio liulo town of Galena In lar2, for exnmp'e, 'iMen.i in the o r nine north western corner of Illinois, was made a port of delivery aud part of t)lu collection district, of New Orleans, and a surveyor of the new port was authorized. Then, March 3, lsr,r, followed nn appropriation by Congress of 15,000 for be ginning a murine hospital (think of it)! ftt Galena, which, by the subsequent expenditure of other sums, has como to be n i.ir r(, ninrhln structure of the Corinthian order of architecture, us absurdly located as if it hi,l been built in tho Adironda.-s. Next came August 18, 1851!, nn appropriation of $511 0(H) for beginning n custom-house and post-office in Galena, to bo built of stone, with lire-proof lloors, Iron-beams, roof, shutter-sills etc It is by lobbying through Congress appropriations for such local and unnecessary purposes that Washburno has secured rcnoinli,,..!,..,., .,,i re election by his party. And while draining the Treasury for such purposes, ho has affected to be, f ' efrcllv.net!, the champion of economy, and has steadily resisted appropriations for uatlouitluud uadfd objects, such as u pot-of- neither Hare venture with his whole force flee and conrt-honse for the City of Now York His Congressional record contains no evidence ot statesmanship either in dobate orjihe origina tion of measures; but ho has manifested consid erable shrewdness, energy, and cunnlnr in ex hibiting great z.eal for economy by resisting ap propriations for ovory other section, as a blind to enable him to push through bills for tho bou cflt of his own constituents. ine moans by wuicn washburne has c-alncd his ascendancy over tho mind of General Grant rcnecv uu more cretin on his character and talents than the other parts of his career. When the war broke out, Mr. Grant happened to bo in the tanning business In Galena. Governor Yates knowlntr Gront to bo a irraduato of wut iv.i.' mndo him a colonel. Washburno. In hlrt fttmnnh of February 1, 1804, on tho Lleutcnaut-Oeneral bill, spoke of Grant as "my neighbor and my friend, Appointed upon my own repommonri... tlon." In May, 1802, Washburno began his ad vocacy 01 urani in congress ny defending him after the battlo of Pittsburg Landing.' H is nruuilM miu ittii iium, nutiiu out in tills BCI1- tence: "Thero is no more temperate man in the army tnan General Grant. Ho never in dulges in tne use 01 intoxicating linnors." in February, 184, Washburne pushed throu"h the bill for making "my friend and my neighbor" Llcutenant-Gencral, aud thus laid tho founda tion 01 nis innuenco over General Grant. His mental horizon was no larger in this case than when he succeeded in getting an appropriation for a marine hospital in Galena. It was a dema gogue's attempt to strengthen himself by making me mom 01 unm uuvuuuige. jiis zeal was not inspired by the fact that Grant waa n irmnf general, but by the fact that he was a resident of Galena. Washburne's appointment to Paris is tlio worst and weakest ever uiado to that country. Don ia mbi franklin was our first miuister to Paris; Thomas Jefferson tho second; and Elihu B. Woshburnc the last. "Oh, what a falling off la here, my countrymen !" EDUCATION IN ENGLAND. From the 1'all Mall Gazette. The Endowed Schools bill, introduced by Mr. Forster and Mr. Bruce, together with tho discus sion as to tho constitution of the Select Com mittee appointed to consider its provisions. assumes small proportions as compared with that mucn vcxea anu ainicuit question which f arlia mcnt must soon face. A better scheme of educa tion for tho poor is urgently needed. Wo have a Stato department of education which not only nas iaiieu 10 ao wnni inigni reasonably no ex pected 01 sucn a department, but which oven appears to have been entirely ignorant of the small extent of its own operations. If a par liamentary paper to which we referred last week bo correct, there arc In England and Wales 11,9(2 schools for the poor connected with tho Church of England alone; bnt of this number tho Government department annually assists only 5017, leaving 61)55 entirely unaided. Of this majority of schools it has positively no knowledge. It is ignorant of tho quality of tho education imparted iu them; it contributes not a penny to their maintenance, and it extracts. nevertheless, from the parishes in which these 0955 institutions are struggling on under adverse circumstances, tho very money supplies by moans ot taxation which go to subsidize tho minority of tho schools for the poor. Such is our present State system. The parliamentary paper before us suggests another important con sideration. It shows that while there are 14,70!) prrislics and ecclesiastical districts in England and Wales, there arc only 11, 97a institutions or schools. Can tho State Department, can Mr. Forster, tell us whether the 2737 parishes consti tuting tho difference between ttiese two numbers have any provision for education at all ? llow aro these parishes distributed? Doubtless some of them are too small to maintain separate schools, and the children in them, by a short walk morning and evening, may find edu cation in neighboring parish schools. But Stato department ought to bo in pos session of this Information. It ought to know the educational resources of every place. It ought to do something more for the country than annually assist 42 per cent, of national or prrish schools, leaviug o per cent, entirely un assisted, unrecognized, and, in every sense of the word, strangers to it. Possessing such slender knowledge of tho schools of the coun try, even so far as tlio Church of England is concerned, to say nothing of those other reli triouB denominations, how can it possibly legis late on the subject of education next year? A searching inquiry would seem to bo absolutely essential as a preliminary to tho framing of any really effective and comprehensive scheme. The State department of education is costly. In the vear ending March, listx, the cost ot admin istration in Downing street, and of the inspec tion of schools throughout tho country, was no less than .78,432. Inspection alone cost upwards of i.'5().000. From ISi'J up to lt3 the parlia mentary grants for education nmounted to .5,400,889 for England and Wales; and adding the grants for tho period subsequent to 18(50, we may see that tho Houso of Commons is quite ready to take its share of a paramount duty. It is a" nitv that tho department had not been equally zealous in obtaining exact information as to tho needs of every parish. Tho difficulties of such an Investigation aro not insuperable, and tho parliamentary paper now in possession of members of both houses shows that it is urgent. SPOOL. SILK, THREAD, ETO.
