THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 18G9. SPIRIT OF THE lUiESS. EDITORIAL OrlNlONB OF THK t.KADINO JOUHNALS UPON CTKRENT TOl'IOS COMPILED KVF.BT DAY FOR THK EVF.NINO TEI,F.OBAPn. oun roLiCY towards England. From the X. Y. World. If the oorrospoiuliinta of n portion of tho llopuMican press in tliia city, nnd especially the Kvrni! '""', "rc '' Toliotl njion, I'rcHidciit (irant lias directed Unit no instruc tion 1e given to Mr. Motley in respect to our difference with England nnd tho re jec tion of the JoliiiHon-Stiiiilev treaty. These oorrcHpondeiits, or a portion of them, assert that the President has deelareil to them that he would leave the violation to our injury by England of admit ted rules of international law to rest without settlement, no m to fur nish a precedent for violation in kind should that nation find herself at war nnd ourself at pence, holding an attitude of pretended neu trality. Grant proposes to postpone enforc ing due reparation until our enemy is ham pered hy war, and then repeat the villuiiy taught us hy her. It can hut he that if President Grant now find then bethinks himself of such a policy, it is only uttered as a spur to England to reopen negotiations. IIo must see that the conduct of that power towards us was either right or wrong in a legal sense. If right, there is an end of the matter. If wron, the law of nations, which it is our duty to vindi cate, has not been clmnged by the disobe dience of one nation. As no one government made, so no one can unmake, tho rules of national intercourse. The United States has, for five years, pub licly maintained that the nets of England, in fitting out Confederate cruisers, were palpable infractions of neutral obligations as defined by international law, which is an ensemble of treaties, usages, and received opinions, Bided, in case of need, by the doctrines of abstract justice and universal reason. The United States has never said that those acts modified or repealed any portion of that law. ' By our own declarations, there fore, we are estopped from following, as a neutral, the precedent England gave us, nnd calling it lawful. Whenever England is at war with some power foreign to us, we may fit out privateers or cruisers against her commerce, burn innocent merchantmen, and so retaliate in kind or by way of reprisals; . bnt that is imperfect war, not neutrality. If President Grant meanR that we shall lie by till our rival is as Railed by some other nation, and then join in the hostilities against her, his policy is com prehensible, even if not quite chivalric. A proud and high-toned man at the head of the Federal Government would the rather say to England: "We scorn to take you at disadvan tage, and, unless you straightway do us jus tice, we will attack in the plentitude of your unhampered strength. If we are to fail or win, it shall be with honor; but under no cir cumstances will we, while professing to bo. neutral, sneak into war. The dog-in-the-manger policy is a confession that we are inspired only by emotions of unite. It lets the controversy down from na tional indignity to one of individual griev ances. It gives no consideration to what a humane and expedient neutral code demands of us, its foremost champions from the days of Washington, Jefferson, and Hamilton. For another reason, this policy, in the forum of Btatesmanship, is vicious. Our cause is not yet in a condition to bear it. The record, the pleadings, are not adapted to it. What has been done ? The Department of State asked, or England proposed (we know not which), a stipulation by treaty that the individual claims, since 185:1, of our citizens against the latter power be referred to a com mission to be thereafter constituted, which commission fshall have power to select an arbitrator in case of disagreement. This stipulation was given by convention; it covered the claims for damages to individuals by Anglo-Rebel cruisers; and the Senate rejected it. That is the record! With no thing more asked on our part and refused on tho other part, can we build on this record a case for retaliation in kind, or a case for carrying on what publicists call "imperfect war," like that we waged, prior to 1800, against France for placing an embargo on our vessels at uorueaux t xne proposition is ooy like ! How can Lord Clarendon know whether the views advanced by Mr. Sumner controlled Senators in rejecting the treaty, or what mea sure of atonement and redress will satisfy Pre sident Grant ? He asks Mr. Motley. Accord ing to the reported policy of Grant, the Minister replies to his Lordship: "Oh, you know! we can afford to wait till you offer what is right !" "But," answers Lord Claren don, "what is the demand of your Govern ment ?" "I am not prepared to answer," re sponds Mr. Motley. "Our policy is, in the language of the turf, to ride a waiting race." "Very well !" concludes Lord Clarendon; "if your Government has not standard nor ex pression of the reparation it demands, further conversation between xis on the topic is use less " No such management of our controversy with England befits the dignity and frankness of the United States, nor can it command popular approbation. Lightly as we estimate the intelligence of President Grant, we do not believe such can bo the policy of his adminis tration. It is unlikely that Mr. Fish can be made a party to such a line of conduct. He appreciates the importance of enlarging tho prerogatives of peaceful industry and com merce, by upholding the doctrines of neutral reserve and impartiality in the intercourse of nations. The United States, instead of fall ing back into the international ethics of bar barism, burning as many ships of England as she has burned of ours "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" needs to revise her own municipal laws in tho interest of honest neutrality, advance still higher her standard of neutral rights, and insist that England shall join us in making a new and improved neutral code. Whatever other nations may do in this business, this country can "take no steps backward." We do not oeiieve tnai any louy rucii as the Evening J'ont and Republican correspon dents attribute to President lirant lias re ceived indorsement or utterance at the De partment of State. To have sent Mr. Motley to Europe (after it began to appear how hievous in its influence Sumner's speech was destined to be) without any in iiJnietions as to the views ho was at liberty to express, officially and unofficially, in respect to the rejection of the treaty, and whether the United States abandoned the national and individual claims it had for years iti so much earnestness, was Simply impossible. The policy of non-inter liAHiilneet between our new Mm Tr.l Clarendon would have been t- ;li.iHfl idiocy. After Sumner s 'fluent acrimony." there was needed antidote i n.,i,n. Mr. Fish is too far-sighted t i.n tl Tendon Foreien Office to understand 4i... of Simmer controlled the votes Ot tdl M a majority of those, Scuatura who rejected the convention. That tho treaty I with it aleatory system of justice for indivi- ' y, dual claims, its utter refusal oven to consider the clnims of the nation, and its failure to make even an f (fort to define for the future the relative rights to be held and duties to be performed by neutrals and belligerent was refused rat hie ilioii, prob ibly the a 1 mistration do,-s not regret; but tint is very far from allowing England to believe we are inclined to let the matter sle -p vinil justed, so that when she. is attacked, from within or without, we c m jump for her thro it. It will be a culinnity for both nations if Mr. Motley is authorized to conduct negothtioiis on our part; but that is not involved in per mitting hint merely to convey to the Queen, through proper diplomatic channels, an ex pression of the hope of President Grant that a prompt and satisfactory settlement of all differences between the two nations would be reached, and the two great ooumierei.d powers of the world he permitted to unite in efforts to advance the freedom of trade, and to sup press in the future all piratical fiat's by a revision, of the neutral codes of both Govern ments. We predict that, by reason of whit Mr. Motley is directed by his chief to say in Eng land, on nil proper occasions, in respect to tho rejection of the treaty, tho speoch of Mr. Sumner, and tho purposes, or rather the wishes, of the Department of St ito, wo sh ill before many days see a marked cluing j in public ojiniou throughout England. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. ' From the. X. '. Herald. We have the news from England that tho war panic created on that side of tho water by Senator Sumner's trenchant American speech on the Alabama claims has subsided, and that Mr. Motley's pacific assurances at Liverpool have been followed by a great reaction. He was expected as the messenger of war; ho is recognized as the herald yf peace. The tran sition, like that from night to morning under the Equator, has been so sudden and so com plete that the oracles of the British press can hardly realize the change; but they are still constrained to confess it. We presume that the last lingering doubt among them will be removed with the positive assurance that peace is the policy of General Grant on the question at issue, and that in its settlement he has no intention or apprehension of the tre mendous alternative of war. We can say that ourjWashington despatch of Friday on this subject is from good autho rity that General Grant has no idea of mak ing Mr. Sumner's estimated damages the ele ments of his ultimatum. On the contrary. General (irant, it appears, concurs in the uni versal rjiigusu opinion t lint 3ir. riuinn'jrs speech logically means only war; that it is goo 1 rhetoric, but bad logic; that if we declare we do not wish to appeal to the last resort of kings, we must adopt diplomacy; nnd that in adopting diplomacy wo must conduct it with dignity and decorum, and not with threats and blustering. It further appears that Gene ral Grant is of tho opinion that Mr. Sumner does not believe in his own plan for the settle ment of this Alabama difficulty, but that, being opposed to any further territorial ex pansions, the object of his speech was to create a check in England against ho move ment on this side looking to the annexation of the New Dominion; and that it is feared by the administration that the proposed negotia tions to this end liave been nipped in the bud by this flank movement of tho Senator from Massachusetts. Such, however, being tho position of Geno ral Grant upon this delicate and difficult ques tion of the Alabama claims, we think the pro. inise may be safely volunteered to the British Government that our policy will be pacific and conciliatory, at least until tho roassem bling of Congress in December next. What may then come to pass, time and the drift of events can only determine. Mhat there are powerful popular elements in this country who believe that a war with England would be the best thing that could happen for tho United States is true. Wherefore t Because it is believed that such a war would give us the river and the unit ot ht. .Lawrence as a free outlet for our Western agricultural pro ducts, and all British North America for a new field of enterprise, and would give, moreover, such an impulse to American manufactures as to make this country wholly independent of English goods, and ablo to outsell her in other markets. There are, also, many men of this warlike school who believe that it is now with the United States and England as it was with Home and Carthage, and .that this new conflict lor the supremacy must some day come to the same conclusion as the old one. All theRe elements of hostility to England, including three or four hundred thousand able-bodied Irish born and warlike American citizens, are for pushing the ultimatum sug gested but not proposed by Senator Sumner. But on the other hand, through all tho ram in cations of American society there are the holders of the Government bonds, and bond holders and banks and merchants and shippers and property-houiers generally nave a para mount interest in tho preservation of peace with England. They generally believe that a war with tho United States would eventually be the destruction ot the imtisn empire, bo ginning with a revolution in Ireland: but they also believe that such a war meantime would involve this country in repudiation and finan cial and political chaos. This peace party con tends, likewise, that while peace with Eng land is indispensable to the payment of our national debt, financial order, and tho dovo lopment of our vast internal resources and our rapidly expanding foreign trade, it will also serve best our "manifest destiny" ideas of tho progressive annexation of neighboring territories, .North as well as hontn. The administration of General Grant is with this peace party, and hence we may confi dently repeat it that at least till the reassem bling of Congress peace, and tho fairest pros pects of continued peace, between England and the great republic, will prevail. Moan while let Mr. Motley and tho administration beware of any Johnsonian treaty; for any such treaty will meet m the Senate the tute ot Mr. Seward's over-zealous efforts for a treaty of peace. There is in tho dominant Itepublican party, including both houses of Congress, a strong desire to give the deathblow to the De mocratic party by winning over what is called 'n 1 vote" say half a million of voters. I hey can be secured on the direct issue of a war with England. Next, there is a largo body of men among the masses of tho people with whom repudiation as a consequence of a war with England has ceased to be a drawback in view of the extinction of our burden of taxes. In short, if tho fixed wealth of the Union is with Grant, the movable vote of the Union is with Sumner by an overwhelming majority Accordingly, while exchanging congratulations of peace with England on tho position of General Grant's administration, it will bo well for Mr. Motley to remember that Con gress is tho war-making power; that one branch of it is in reality the treaty-making power: and that tho managing Itepublieuns in ng itepublieuns m both brunches ore. moving for "tho Irish YvtO. CONCERNING BEGGARY. 'rnm Iht X. Y. Tribune. Wfl hope there is no truth in the t OW tVl t lately went the rounds, importing that Mis Anna Dickinson, as she journeys, orat iii" f ronr city to citv, is infested with missions fro-n ardent, ingenuous yo.mgsters, who begin by praising her wit, hr be.m'y, her pliilan- tlinij, tier eloquence, and eon '.dude by re- quci-rTiig the remittance, by way of rift or loan (a distinction without, a difference) of a . a f-H, or at least a iyio, fr, her nmpl. hoards in relief of the writer's ni"ent ntvvs sities. Some ol tho mendicants are pious, nnd nilicit help to enable them tooiiilifv for d if poising the bread of life; others .' philanthropic, and want to arm themselves for battle against all the ills that flesh is heir to; oilier some are simply ambitions, and want to study hiw or something else tint (th "v fancy) -will putlheni up a round or two on the ladder of Fortius'. For the pro lit of hum in nature, we should liope that such base curs exist only in the realms offnney; yet we h ive had experiences that make us fear that they nie real. The age we live in is worse in some respects than many of its predecessor, but it is better in others, f It is less sanguinary, but not Lms venal; less given to cruelty, but'niore prone to beggary. To seek to obtain soniethini for not hint; is its grand mistake: it makes wretched its votaries, and they in turn diffuse tho curse on every side. Wo are all tho victims in some shiqie of omnipresent beggary. ljabor is ennobling, and man is invigorated and elevated by work. No one can heartily mhlress himself to it without being blest in his deed. Let a man step out of doors early in the mornim;, saying, "Hero am I. ablo and willing to work; show me whatever is to be done, and I will take that part of it which suits me best, and do it with all my might," and ho compels general respect. But if he says. "Here am 1, needy and tarnishing, with a wife and children looking vainly to mo for bread; I am willing to tako a place in the Custom House, a clerkship in a dry goods store, an appointment on the police, or even a situation on a newspaper," the multitude will not conceal their disgust. For he, being in need, should consider not what ho would prefer, but what he can get, and take hold of it with frank alacrity. His way to finding what he would like lies through doing cheer- lully whatever lie can get. Spring opened late this year, and planting was hnished much later than usual; so that the lato warm, showery weather is bringing for ward tho tanners work with uncommon ra pidity. Henceforth till August hereabouts, and till September further north, weeding, haying, sowing buckwheat, harvesting, pro- paring tor turnips, nnd for fall seeding, drive our farmers to the utmost. No eigl hour rule for them! they will be lucky if they get en with an average ot twelve hours work six (lays per week. -Many will overtax' their strength rather thnn see their crops suffer, when t hey would gladly hire additional help. ll such was to bo h.id. In tho event, the hay crop alono will bo depreciated in value many millions because it could not be seasonably made could not, because those who should have helped to make it are away in this and in other cities, pacing wearily their hot pave ments lrom morn till night, looking for "situ ations" where there are none to bo had, won. dering why they cannot find "something to do," nud protesting that they are "willing to uo anything lhat isn t wanted. Infinite are tho shitts nnd disguises ot beg gary, wherewith ble s cup runneth over; but none aro more baleful than those which dis honor work by sinking its manly utterances into tho whine of mendicity and obliterntin so far as possiSle, tho broad lino of denvirca- tion between wages and alms. Heaven bless and keep the true hearts that would rather earn fifty cents per day where they are really wanted thnn five-told that amount where they are employed for pity's sake, and because they milit have "Something to IJo. DEDUCTION OF THE DEBT. From the X. Y. Times. Let the ileail , have justice as well as the living. The reduction of the debt, carried on vigorously under General (irant, wan begun as vigorously under Mr. Lincoln, and prose cuted Hteadily under JUr. Johnson. It is a feature of its policy to which the Republican party may point with pride, nnd Mr. Uout- well, in adhering to it, treads m tlie tootsteps of his predecessors. The net reduction of the debt, since the close ot the war, has amounted to $'SM, 771,0111, and tho merit of having effected it belongs to two administra tions. Dividing the sum among the lour years over which the reducing process has extended, we have a yearly average ot fEi.")S,!)42.7t!f, and we submit that this rate is quite as rapid as comports with the industrial and business interests of the country. The per centage of reduction con templated in the act of isti2 has been more than maintained. The precise plan indicated has indeed been departed from, but the gene ral obiect has m the mam been accomplished. Any attempt to increase tho rate will justify the interference ol Congress and the more strict definition of the boundaries of the Sec retary's action. Mr. Wells, in his reports, estimates the yearly contribution to debt-re duction with which the Government should charge itself at fifty millions. This figure has been attained and passed during the last four years; and with this wo should be satis- lied. If it be found that the surplus means at the command of the Government exceed fifty millions yearly, a case will be made out for a reduction of taxes. 1 he debt is not the only legacy of the war that is entitled to attention. The burden of taxation is a legacy si ill more oppressive, and therefore one that calls still more urgently for mitigation. A revenue re quired to carry on the Government has been submitted to cheerfully; but the productive and mercantile forces of the nition are not in a condition to contribute many millions an nually for the payment of obligations long before they reach maturity. Let Mr. Wells fifty millions be added to the current expen ditures, if the addition be deemed advanta geous to tho public credit, bnt beyond this the Government should not collect a dollar. For there is an interest to be considered more critical than that of the bondholders the in terest of tho American people; and the relief they require must bo given through dimin ished taxation. ' Let us not hear of the Trea- snry being encuiiiberod with money acquired nt serious cont to interests which aro identitied with the uutioiiiil prosperitv. X'e look to the present administration for relief to the tax-pavers. Its energy and in tegrity in the collection of revenue will do much towards determining tho measure of its productiveness; while continued rotreucii luent will widen the margin for a surplus Next session, then, we hope Congress will be in possession of data that shull facilitate a ro- diulion of taxes to an extent required by the people. That is, all things considered, the eht method of dealing with any surplus with winch, at the end of Its lisctU year, tho ire.i- fcury may be blessed. ANNEXATION IN NOVA SCOTU. Frmn the X. Y. Tims. Mr. Murray's resolution, and more particu larly Mr. Murray's preamble, which tho Hali fax lloue til Assembly considered on luesday, has at least thp merit of perfectly plain lan guage. It begins by "most firmly denying the right ot the Imperial Government to force a free people into any connections with out their consent; but, nt the same tun", with a rather doubtful concession, it very pre singly "admits the right of the Imperial Government to witifram their wot wt ion." It declares that the old Government was "forcibly changed wjlhout the consent of the people, vii.ose "petitions nave been treated with contempt;" that the Dominion has brought "financial disaster and oppressive taxation," and made the Nova Scotians "a de graded people." And, in fine, "irhereas, our principal commercial trade always will be, naturally, with the United States bf Amerie i," nnd, irhrrr.au, there is "gfeatc injustice in keeping this hertt'fire loyal colony in a hntni vt'itai," therefore! her Majesty is asked "that our beloved institution bo restored to us, or that her Majesty will be graciously pleas"d tv absolve us from our allegiance to tho British throne !"' What final disposition will be made of this proposition remains to be seen; it is now thought probable that it will bo withdrawn: but its very offering carries moral weight an I suggestions. Two gentlemen rose at once, on its presentation, to endorse its language. Its author declares "it is not an annexation resolution; but certainly it goes part way towards being a "secession" resolution. Are not Messrs. Sumner and Chandler alarmed, lest there be nothing left of Canada, ere long, for them to "invade V LOOKING CLASSES, ETO. E STABLISHED 179 5. A. S. ROBINSON.
