TIIBlOTLEY.FTfm CORRESPOND
KNCE. As an offshoot of the Grant-Samner Sin Do
mingo qnarrel, the publio are regaled with
the Motley-Fish correspondence on the Ala
bama question, and various issues of fact be
tween high dignitaries are submitted to the
great tribunal of the American people. Few
will oare to wade through the long columns of
the correspondence arising from Mr. Motley's
removal 'from the British mission, but its
general purport is interesting to every Ameri
can citizen. At the bottom of the whole
diffioulty lies the faot that Grant did not see
proper to adopt the views of the Alabama
question which had been propounded by
Charles Sumner .in his famous Alabama
speech, while Mr. Motley, when he discussed
this subjeot at London, oame nearer reflecting
the views of the Senate Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs than those of
the Tresident of the United States. It is true
that Motley denies this soft impeachment, and
claims that he adhered strictly to his instruc
tions as he understood them; but Secretary
Fish nevertheless adheres to the statement
that Motley did not fairly represent the Pre
sident's views, and that he was therefore an
unreliable and unworthy representative of the
administration at London.
It will be remembered that Sumner, in dis
cussing the Beverdy Johnson treaty, took the
bold ground that the British Government
bad no right to reoognize the Southern Con
federacy as a belligerent power; that im
mense losses, amounting in the aggregate to
thousands of millions of dollars, were en
tailed on this country by that recognition, and
that the matters ia dispute between the two
countries could not be settled until full satis
faction for these enormous damages were
made, either in the way of a cash payment,
territorial concessions, or an humble apology.
This defiant speech set England in a blaze of
indignation, and the cry went up from all
parties that if we insisted upon
a settlement of that description
no English administration would
dare to consider it for a single moment.
When Grant came into power he seems to
Lave comprehended from the first the fallacy
of Sumner's demand, and without making an
open issue with Sumner on the subjeot he
instructed Motley (according to the statement
of Secretary Fish) to "place the cause of
grievanoe of the United States against
Great Britain not so much upon her issu
ance of the recognition of the insurgents
in a state of war, as upon her con
duct under and subsequent to such a
recognition." Now Motley was the pet of
Sumner, and appointed in a large measure
through his influence, and as, in addition to
his written instructions, he was authorized to
talk over the subject at issue in a general
way with the English Secretary of State, it is
not to be wondered at that he put the strong
est possible Sumner coloring upon the Grant
instructions. It was rather rough on the
Massachusetts statesman to have his Massa
chusetts ministerial pet tell, in effect, an
English Minister that the new Re
publican administration did not care
a button for Sumner's high-flown and imprac
ticable theories of the subjects in dispute;
and it is soarcely possible to read the
Motley-Fish correspondence without coming
to the conclusion that the Amerioan Minister
was more faithful to his Senatorial patron
than to the President of the United States.
Bight oa the heels of a disoovery and com
plaint of this delinquency by the administra
tion, Sumner took issue with it on
the San Domingo question, and
thus two causes of dispute arose
nearly simultaneously. The President aban
doned the Sumner platform on the questions
at issue with Great Britain, and Sumner op
posed the Grant platform on San Domingo,
while Motley, in tha interest of Sumner, gave
such a coloring to his instructions as appar
ently committed Grant to the Sumner view
of the Alabama question, in spite of himself.
This was a little more than the hero of Ap
pomattox could stand. He might have con
sented to be overruled at London, or to be
beaten in the Senate on his West India hobby,
through Sumner's overshadowing influence,
but he was not willing to be foiled at both
points without striking back. Motley con
tends that he was removed solely because
Sumner opposed San Domingo. Fish alleges
that he was removed solely on account of his
violation of instructions. But the real truth
probably is that both causes combined in
duced his dismissal.
TEE NA VT AND TflE DIPLOMATIC
SERVICE.
The Ilouse of Representatives on Friday last
adopted resolutions directing a court of in
quiry into the conduct of Rear-Admirals
Godon and Davis in refusing to extend proper
aid to Minister Washburn when he considered
himself in peril from the Paraguayan tyrant
J-opez, and also disapproving of the oonduot
Rear-Admiral Davis in delaying for an un
i asonable time to proceed to the resoue of
jTessrs. Bliss and Masterman, in accepting
their release in a manner derogatory to the
dignity of the United States, and in receiv
ing, holding, and treating them as prisoners.
These resolutions may be considered a defi
nite declaration of the principle that the
naval is subordinate to the diplomatic ser
vice, and that naval officers will in
the future be obliged to reoognize the
fact that, their personal dignity is of
less importance than that of the
Government. That there is a necessity
for a very radical reform has been proved by
the aflf jir in which Rear-Admirals Godon
and Davis were implicated, and if any further
proof were needed, it can be found in the
declaration of Admiral Porter in his testimony
before the Committee of Foreign Affair in
regard to this same matter. Admiral Porter,
speaking for the officers of the navy in gene
ral, said: "We look npon it that a minister
is send abroad to preserve peace, and not to
make war; and naval oflloers having so much
intercourse with the world, consider that they
are perhaps as Veil informed about diplomatic
matters as persons who have entered upon
their diplomatic duties for the first time. Now
in England it is different. There persons
are educated for the diplomatic profes
sion, and a British naval officer in
many cases is put nnder the orders of tiie
minister. In case we had any diffioulty with
a foreign power, the Navy Department would
instruct the admirals at that point to co
operate with the minister in that particular
case, but in no other." Such an extraordinary
statement as this soaroely needs comment, as
it proves conclusively that the naval officers
being impressed with the idea that as our di
plomatic service is not what it ought to be, it i
therefore incumbent upon them to undertake
the management of our foreign affairs on
general principles and according to their own
discretion, without regard to the ideas that
prevail in the State Department. It is oer
tainlyhigh tine for Congress to con vin?
Admiral Porter and his subordinates that
their duties and responsibilities are some
what different from what they imagine.
In regard to the court ef inquiry provided
for in the resolution passed on Friday, no
great results need be expected. The court
will be composed of naval officers, inspired
by the same opinions as those which influ
enced the conduct of Rear-Admirals Godon
and Davis, and it will certainly be somewhat
extraordinary if those officers are judged to
have been in fault.
CONS TI1UTIONAL RE VIS I ON.
The demand for a thorough overhauling of
the Constitution of Pennsylvania has
assumed suoh an imperative and universal
character, that the Legislature which com
menced its sessions a few days ago can
soarcely have the hardihood to ignore or re
sist it. The people of the entire St afro, with
out regard to party affiliations, expeot our
legislators to authorize the calling of a con
vention for revising the Constitution of the
State, and the Senators and Representatives
who have the hardihood to vote against the
measure will scarcely anticipate a re-election.
But the neoessity for a constitutional
revision which has at last beoome imperative
has long existed, and a convention should
have been called several years ago. It will
be well, therefore, for the new Constitution,
when finally framed, to contain a clause re
quiring the people to vote upon the question
of constitutional reform at stated periods,
say once in fifteen or twenty years, to avoid
the recurrence of another disastrous delay on
the part of legislators who may chance to
misrepresent their constituents. There is
such a provision in the Constitution of New
York, and last year a convention was called
in pursuance of its requirements. The Con
stitution of Ohio contains a similar clause
and at the election next fall the people of
that State will be called upon to decide
whether they are satisfied with their
Constitution as it is or not, without any
legislative action on the subject. When a
convention is finally assembled in this State,
and the task of framing a new constitution is
under way, care 6hould be taken to include
in it a provision for submitting to a popuhr
vote at seasonable periods the question of a
reform of the fundamental law of the Com
monwealth. "The Constitution as it is," is a
cry that deserves no better response when
applied to a State than when applied to the
whole country. Constitutional reform be
comes periodically necessary, and no amount
of wisdom or foresight can be expeoted to
render it unnecessary for many years in suc
cession. The people, therefore, should be
at liberty to make known their desires with
out depending upon modern legislators for
the opportunity.
The practical result of the protective
duties on pig iron which, after being in ope
ration for some years, were reduced on the
first of January, was that the product of the
United States was doubled, while the price
was reduced nearly one-half; or, in round
figures, the product increased from nine hun
dred thousand tons per annum to two mil
lions of tons, while the price fell from more
than fifty dollars per ton to less than thirty
dollars per ton. A striking new illustration
was thus given of the old truth that steady
protective duties on artioles which can readily
be produoed on a large scale in this country
not only add to the national wealth by
rendering home resources available, but also
lower prices to the consumer. The home
competition engendered furnishes a far better
safeguard for the interests of consumers than
an uncertain, unreliable, and fluctuating
foreign supply which may at one time be
dirt cheap and at another monstrously dear.
Pennsylvania, as the lea-ling iron State, has
been subjected to much obloquy for her per
sistent advocacy of higher duties on iron;
but the results show that, even if her under
lying motive is selfish, her favorite tariff
policy has redounded to the welfare of the
whole Union .
The following is the mention of Charley
Moothart's case in the list of last year's par
dons sent to the Legislature by Governor
Giary:
". Charles Moothart. Philadelphia, May 13, Isjt.
I.arceDy. Three years la County l'risua Pardoned
Junuary 25. Recommended by William 15. Maun, J.
O. Gallon, Thomas Astiton, Kiclm-M 11. Otr, Koitert
S. Garrison, David Hants, lleiirr I. sral'h, Ghorga
Carson, George Faber, Rev. Thomas Harry, and
others, Reasons: Moothart, according to the cer
tificate of the physician and superintendent of tho
fiNbon, Is far advanced In consumption, and cannot
ive throughout his term if confined In pruuu.'
Three months and eighteen days remitted. (Since
reported dead.)"
Moothart is (not was) a notorious charac
ter, and is of a notorious family. Though
bis pardon was recommended by ex-District
Attorney Mann, and seven officers of the
criminal court, because it was thought he was
too delicate to live out his term, and though
he has since been "reported dead' it is said
by those who ought to know best that he is
hearty, and is now stealing all ha can well
get his hands on. One of bis brothers, Wil
liam Moothart, is now serving out a term in
the Norristown Jail, and another brother,
John Hart, alias Moothart, has already served
two terms in the Eastern Penitentiary, his
last term being one of eighteen months.
The Civil Code Commiksioneus appointed
to revise and codify the civil laws of Penn
sylvania have nearly finished their labors. It
is said they have boiled down 1500 pages of
"Purdon's DigrRt'l to a .100 page volume,
and made a mysterious and conflicting mass
of legislation plain to the common under
standing. This is useful and creditable work,
but we believe tho oomnissioners have also
attempted a much more imposing and im
portant task, by interjecting new matter,
which virtually embodies new statutes, in
their book; and the Legislature had better
look very carefully into these changes before
it adopts them. The publio should remember
that it is not merely a condensation of their
old laws that is coming up for consideration,
but a civil code substantially new in some im
portant particulars.

the charter of the Northern raoiflc Railroad Com
