Under a despotic or purely aristocratic govern ment, Biicli men are kept nilcnt by the responsi bilities of their position or by tlio orders of a superior power; and when they do upcak, their words arc justly supposed to mean almost as much as actions. If the leader of the Imperial party in the French Corps heiflslatif, enjoying the confidence of Napoleon, should arise and deliver a vigorous indictment against Germany, and demand an enormous indemnity for national Injuries, the world would naturally and justly mipposo that the governments themselves were excited against one another, aud that war was at hand. Wc fall sometimes into the same impression when tlio statesmen of constitutional govern ments utter sentiments and frame argument!) in strong opposition to the views of a rival govern ment. Thus, during the Rebellion, when Earl Russell said openly that "the North was strug gling for empire and the youth for indepen dence," when Mr. Gladstone, In a public address, spoke of Mr. Jefferson Davis "as having formed a nation." when Mr. Roebuck uttered in Parlia ment his fiery philippics against the Union, and Mr. Laird was cheered by an immense majority for his connection with the equipment of tlio Rebel rams, great numbers of nervous and excitable people here rushed to the conclu sion that Great Britain was about to recognize the South and break the blockade. Indeed, wc now know that propositions were made to her by France to tills effect, and there is no tpiestion that nine-tenths of the upper classes of the kingdom would have favored such a measure. The sentiment of the aristocratic classes, and of the Government itself, was undoubtedly warmly for the South. But with all popular governments there is a vast chasm between sentiment and action. English statesmen were very ready too ready, as it has turned out to utter tirades against the North; the press was crammed with abuse; the Parliamentary orators argued with point and vigor against the cause of the Union; but when it came to putting all this excitement into legis lative action, when the question of the Rebel ranis was up, or that of recognizing the blockade, no open step was ever taken by tlio British Gov ernment. The English administration of those years could easily have made a pretext for breaking the blockade, or recognizing the South as a nation. But in managing the affairs of such complicated societies as are those of Great Britain and the United States, there must be great caution taken in letting feeling hold the helm. The interests involved arc too vast, the dangers toojgigantic, to permit sentiment to guide the relations of governments. Mr. Charles Sumner, who may be described without invidiousness as the rhetorician of the Republican party, has recently, in his position s Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Rela tions of the Senate, delivered a highly rhetorical indictment against the British Government. Ho undoubtedly expresses in it the sentiment of three-fourths of the masses of the nation; ho limy express the feeling of General Grant and his administration; but for the public to sup pose, as the British press seem to do, that this oratorical statement is to be the basis of negotiations, or to be followed by legis lative or governmental action corresponding, seems to us In the highest degree puerile. Mr. Sumner's rhetoric, General Grants feel ing, or the prejudices of the masses of the country, will have nothing to do with Mr. Motley's negotiation, or any overt action of the administration, or any public proceeding look ing towards peace or war. The chasm between Mr. Sumner's oratorical indictment aud war is wider than the ocean. General Grant or Secre tary Fish are not the kind of men to let senti ment run away with them. And if they were, the nation has a great ballast of common sense and Christian feeling to keep them from being hurried into a horrible struggle by rhetoric and fircjudicc. However in the matter of the Ala iama claims Mr. Sumner may represent the -anti-English prejudice and hatred, ho is not just the man in wliose wisdom the nation would trust a difficult negotiation, or under whom they would rush blindly to war. He is not,even, from the character of his mind and the course of his studies, the best authority of his country on questions of International law. The people generally are no more ripe for war with Great Britain than they have been any time for the last eight years. Mr. Sumner's oration has made no change in popular feeling. His indictment is frequently considered exaggerated Mid the bill of costs absurd. Its value as the effort of a statesman may be measured by the fact that, if the Government of England acted according to the feeling it has universally called out there, we should not get a penny of damages or a breath of apology. The rejection of the treaty is indeed quite another matter, uud of a most serious character; but it is to be judged entirely on its own merits, and not from the rhetoric of the Senator. Its worst effect and wo hold that to be most im portant for both nations is to place the Ala bama question in the limbo of unsettled ques tions for a generation to come. DANGERS OF TIIE FINANCIAL SITUATION. From the If. Y. Wvrltt. During the war, everybody who had any repu tation for judgment or sagacity was of opinion that the prodigious expenditures of that period of waste and destruction would be followed by widespread financial disaster aud distress. Mr". Bright in his speeches abroad, Mr. CUiise in x reports ut homo persons as little disposed to be croakers or alarmists as anybody in Europe or America expressed this opinion with great nositlveness and emphasis. We have gone on lour vears since tlio close of the war. and anna reutly their gloomy predictions have been belied by the event. The cost of living has Indeed been high; but there has been no great revulsion in trade, no great stoppage of industry, no panic We have kept the wheels of business moving with more or less efficiency and success, until the country has concluded that, although, wo have danced, It Is, alter all, no very serious matter to pay the uddlcr. liut abundant signs begin to thicken upon us that the predicted evil day has not been averted, but only postponed. At last, we are apparently on tlie eve ot payiug the heavy penalties of a gigantic war. By what means have the consequences of our prodigal expenditures been so long postpouod? Th nnxwer is not difficult; the evil day has been put off by the ordinary resource of prodigals Tim irocess ol borrowing has been disguised under the delusive fallacy that in ex porting bonds to Europe to meet our current debts, wo have been exporting rcanaiuc u.v Durtinor nroncrtv. But It is too obvious for arii ineut that we have been merely exchanging one foru of indebtedness for another. The bonds have irnt to be mild, lust as much os the heavy debts for imported goods would have to bo paid if the bonds had not been sent out of the country to adjust the balances. The only diflerem-o is that, by means of tlio bonds. the time of narmcnt is postponed. Besides paving for our future importations. we have eol to pur to foreigners the semi-auuual interest on the exported bonds, and, sooner or later, the principal. So long as the prodigious glut of the bond market lasted, we seemed to go 011 swimmingly. Bonds have been exported to Aect Uie baliiuces ot our foreign, trade; bomU have been exported to pay the Interest on tho I bonds already in tho hands of foreigners. Wo have thus been accumulating debt upon debt, paying old debt by tho easy method of Incur ring new ones. It ought to have been evident throughout this pleasant process, that it could not hut. As wo had ceased to manufacture bonds, as tho supply, enormous as It was, was limited, this mode of dodging present payment and piling up future liabilities to foreigners was destined to end. While it has lasted, wo have been borrowing of Europe at a high rate of In terest plus exorbitant, ruinous "taws." We must pay not only tho regular six per cent., but must pay a full hundred dollars for every hundred dollar bond which wo havo sold to foreigners for seventy or eighty dollars. And the current Interest is at a much higher rate than the nominal six per cent. When we receive only sixty-six dollars for a hundred dollar six pe"r cent, bond, the rate of interest which we really pay is not six per cent, but nine, besides the bonus of thirty-four dollars at the final settle ment. For tlie last four years, we have been incurring heavy debts to Europo on these ruinous terms; continuing to export bonds to meet our current debts and to pay the accruing Interest on the heavy amounts of bonds already exported. We are nearly at the end of our tether In this career of debt and extravagance. Now, when the supply of bonds available for exportation is getting exhausted, Mr. Boutwell comes Into tho market as a purchaser of bonds, at tho rate of fifty-two millions a year, lie thus arrests the ebbing exportation, sends up the price of gold, and spreads anxiety and alarm through business circles by raising the inquiry how we are here after to meet the claims of our foreign creditors. When the exportation 'of bond stops, what are we to send abroad? The semi-annual interest can then be no lunger paid by the exportation of other bonds. Tho balanccs against us in our in ternational trade can then be no longer met by the exportation of bonds. Then will have come tho gloomy dawning of pav day. Tlio interest on tlio exported bonds will have to be paid In something. Our importations of foreign goods will have to be paid in something. Whim the bonds, having risen to pur, are returned upon our market and sold, wo must send back their value in something. What will that something be? (Sold, while our small stock of gold lasts; but that will be soon exhausted. What then? What then? We submit the question to thoughtful men who have sufficient discernment of the signs in the sky to forecast the coming stonn. Wo sub mit it to the crazy tariff men and Inflationists who havo rendered it impossible that we should manufacture anything to export. We submit it to the revengeful radical destructives who have kept the South disorganized these four years, and prevented the How of capital into that sec tion to revive the cultivation of its great staples, which arc our chief articles of export. With regard to this process of paying foreign debts by the exportation of bonds, ve are manifestly near "the beginning of the end." What then? What then? A STORM BR F.W I NO T 1 1 K PRESS OF THE COUNTRY AND GENERAL GRANT. From the A'. 1'. Ihrahl. The crowds arc rising. The heavens are be coming black. The rumbling of distant thunder is beginning to be heard. Eiidentlya storm Is brewing. It is the storm of popular sentiment in regard to General Grant. Tlie press of the country is the barometer of 'public opinion. It indicates whether tlie political atmosphere is fair or foul, genial or tempestuous. That press is now cither silently murmuring discontent or is flashing In fury. The radical press is typical of the one, the Democratic press of tlie other. While the former either preserves a studied silence or utters unfriendly words in regard to tlie President of its cho'ce, the latter does not attempt to conceal its hostility to Grant and his administration, and is using" every effort in its power to make both unpopular. "What is tho meaning of all this? Does it mean that the affections of tlie people of the United States are becoming alienated from the man who but a few months since was their idol ? that they are becoming estranged from the beio who. as the leader of their armies, saved this country from political annihilation? Unpalatable as the truth may be, wo aro obliged to confess that this does actually seem to bo the case. Now, as we, out of pure friendship, and witli a profound feeling of gratitude for his having triumphantly closed tlie Rebellion, advocated General Grant's election to tho Presidency as a partial reward for his unparalleled services, so now wc, witli equally as sincere a desire tor Ins success as a statesman as that ho achieved as a w arrior, earnestly urge him to arouse himself Irom the lethargy that seems to have fallen upon him like a funeral pall, and to realize tho dan gers that menace not only himself us the Chief Executive, but his administration und the coun try generally. Let him brush away the para sites who surround him, who poison his ear with false accusations against good and true men, who give him bad advice, and whoso avarice and selfishness are bringing his administration into contempt all over the land and fast causing the character of the Government to lessen lu the respect of nations abroad. Tho scene the other day between Senator Sumner and General Dent, the President's usher, was most unfortunate. Had it been possible, a report of it would not have appeared in our columns. But, unfortunate aud humiliating as it was, it was important as affording an index of tho manner in which business is transacted at tho White House. As Mr. Sumner said, General Grant should remember that the Executive mansion is not a military camp, aud that wo aro living lu a state of peace, not in a state of war; and further more, that when gcutlemen call at tho White House on official business lliev are entitled to be treated with the respect duo an American citizen lu his own household, and not with petty Inso lence and churlish vulgarity. Hence, in view of all these drawbacks and obstacles to his suc cessful career In civil life, we pray that General (irant will listen to the Indications of the ap proaching storm, and by timely and sagacious retorms either produce a reaction, or prepare to protect himself from Its direful effects when it bursts. But what is the true policy ? Is it enough that the President should bo the mere creature of Congress? Does not the country, does not his office, require of him tlie initiative in great mea sures when the opportunity invites him to action ? Is he not expected "to assume tlie re sponsibility, like Jackson and Lincoln, in extra ordinary cases, without express authority of law ? Is he not expected to give shape and di rection to tho legislation of Congress itself In shaping out tlio general policy of his adminis tration ? These questions carry with them each its own answer. Nor can it be denied that in the Cabinet General Grant has hail and has op portunities before him for distinction as endur ing as Yieksbuig, Chattanooga, or the Wilder ness among his achievements in tlie field. The President, like the General, who risks nothing, i -""!" .'""es Homing. (ienerul Grant may eclipse the popularity in his office of Lincoln by resolute action, or ho may sink into the inglo nities nothing. I ndcr this policy thero is no call for a chango of the Cabinet. W hen nothing Is to bo done but the routine bus irm of the peace establish- iiicin, mv lu nm v 1 - noon as another, and the n j . -. ....!... . . v- icrpf no is nut " "i os wuy to offend tlie Senate. Ho wants peace. Let us, therefore have pcuce; but let It bo a peace In the true ami proper acceptation of the word peace, broad and comprehensive, at home, and dignified before the world abroad. A peace of this character can scarcely bo expected by tho nation at tli hands of General Grant, who, no matter what his ser vices iu war, has proved that he does not com pletely embraeo the largo and varied interests of tho country iu his (adiuinlstrutivo views, evidently assuming that -ho has diaclwgcd lik duty acceptably by tlio rious reeoru 01 Huchanau by masterly inactivity, ior an active, deceive, progressive policy we want a new Cabinet and a new deparlure; but the policy Indicated so far l.v (i,.n,,-.,i :,-.,( .le uuinei as u ii may uuncn letter than any other that could be substituted. Kven in tills m at, r then, we seo something of the military sa-'aciiv of General Grant. And why should lie e'haii"e his Cabinet, any how, In tho absiui r .. iiii- appointmo.nt of a negro as our representative 1 in Guatemala. This is not the sort of peace which we require. Tho American people in peaceful attitude, want an adjustment of pend ing foreign questions. They want a settlement of tho Alabama claim; they want full reparation and indemnification for tho injury Inllietod on our commerce through tho jealousy of England in a moment of national peril; thoy want ti10 r,,. assertion of our commercial position on the ocean and the vindication of the prestige of the country on the continent of Europe. (Jan Gene ral (irant insure such results ? Will ho do so? They cannot certainly he obtained by his pre sent policy, if he has a policy. Tliev cannot be attained by doing nothing. Mere appointments to place will not satisfy th0 people. General Grant will soon learn this important fact. Will he, then, do something nnd endeavor to show to the world that it is not necessary that tlie le i ler of armies in the field should prove a failure whon In the executive chair of a country ? JACOB THOMPSON. From the .V. Y. Tribune. The day should have been sad but auspicious when that old man. Jacob Thompson, returned to his home in Mississippi, not long a"o. Wind and wave of the stormiest politics wo have ever known had washed him away from his moor ings; years spent in iron-hearicd connivance as to the best means of putting the Iron into our souls had separated him from tho tenderest asso ciations of planter's life: wanderings to and fro in the earth seeking what he might devour of loyalty and patriotism had made him a sadder and slower man: and at last he wearily returned to the friends of his youth. There is something touching and even tragic; as Mr. Carlvle would say, in this return of Jacob Thompson. Like Mr. Rogers' old man, he had been long wander ing, here and there, "in quest ot something something lie cou'.d not find he knew not what." Perhaps it was tlie Union of our fathers. He may have come to deposit his bones in the land of his ancestors, and among tlie scenes of his childhood, as some of his contemporaries have done. "Tho old man," says tho solemn Mr. Toodles, "went to his grave, and lie died there." It is not tho fashion with our clever old men to go to their graves and stay there, though the national Hag is always provided for waving over them In case of emergency. But we think of all old men when we think of that old man Jacob Thompson come again. Here is this vene rable man, greyer and coonier than ever, come to revisit those sepulchral Institulions of his birth from which his departure was like a kind of resurrection come to t.ilk to his neighbors, tho Misslssippiuns, and to bo once more fami liarly called Jake hy the vulgar, and It may oe uiu jukb. we repeal, mere is some thing touching and even tragic In tills. His ghost, if need be, must be laid, and not vexed, but we dare say there is life in the old man yet. Jacob Thompson is not the. man to take odds of us on the side of sympathy. He would not thank us for our pitv; he would take no sub scription of us in grieving over his lamentable past; he would make no acknowledgment of tlie expense of our sensibilities in welcoming, with more or less depth of good nature, tlie return of such a wilful and mischievous prodigal of other people s property as nimseit. Mill, wc pity Jacob Thompson. We cannot help remember ing that, in trying to steal a great many States out of the Union, he got hold of tlie rabidest kind of elephant, and that he has suffered as well as the rest of us. We cannot forbear reflecting that shrewd, worldly-wise men like Jacob iiiompsou niigni nave done better Mian em ployed slavery as a battering-ram against the pillars of the Union, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives, worth more than that deadly institution which men of his kind insisted upon upholding or themselves perishing. Mr. Thomp son has even been suspected in tlie matter of burning steamboats and in the dubious scandal of promoting the smallpox as an element in the purification und salvation of pco Ijs. But we hide these and other shades of bis reputation in our general commiseration of the tact that In: has suffered much, and our melancholy pleasure that he an old man, a little more serious than wont, more humbled before the general Providence which disposes of men and nations more kindly in spirit as to the patriotic problem which lie once contemplated only in bitterness of soul has come among us once more. Vo tako it to bo no unmeaning sentiment when a man of Jacob Thompson's vicissitudes confesses to his ultimate and imperishable love of country. Wo would rather not entertain such a thought as that any possible opportunity would siari tue old agent ot tlie Keoeiiion up again into what Union people have been used to calling treason. He cheerfully avows that in the late w ar "tho power of arms decided that we should remain ono peoplo now and forever," and that it was tlie common duty or his tellow citizens to "meet the actualities of life with i brave, cheerful, nnd manly heart, submitting to the inevitable. lie Muuks that a great destiny awaits tho people of America, "and wc inut contribute our part in working it out." More over, we feel obliged to Mr. Thompson for saying so well that, though he had gone to the tombs of tlie mightiest peoples, and though ho learned many valuable lesssus, still a deep melancholy followed him und weighed down his spirits. He could never forget that he was an American, could never help repeating the paraphrased expression of the poet "America, with all thy faults, I love thee still. lie was never tempted to chango his nationality; for, whatever he had suffered In it, ho thought his own country the best in the world. So has thought many a Briton after war, and many a (iaul in exile: but we especially thank such a man as Jacob Thompson for these concessions, Yes, Mr. Thompson, and so do we all think this country of ours the best on the planet the best to earn in, to spend in, to worn in, lo scucine in, to live in, to dio In the best in the world lor Southerners and Northerners, for Lee and for Graut, for Stephens and Sumner, for Jacob Thompson and Frederick Douglass. And with all you faults, Jacob Thompson,' we shall do our best to love voti nnd voisrs to give you me heartiest hand we may if you care to give you the greeting of plough mid trpado, of labor and liberty trusting that in right time all tilings will be made quite whole again, if one and all of us shall have quite learned to accept the situation manfully, and go to work with a will.
