THE . ALABAMA CL MIMS IN THE
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
The long cable report of the, debate in the
House of Commons, on the American claims
against Great Britain, cannot fail to interest
every reader. The speech of Mr. Shaw Le
fevre makes out a very strong case on behalf
of the United States Government. The tone
of Lord Stanley, speaking for the Ministry, is
extremely courteous and conciliatory, and the
sentarks of the other speakers show a re
markably deferential feeling towards the
elovernment and people of the United States.
The lapse of time has manifestly moderated
Ole feelings of exasperation that the depreda
tions of the Anglo-rebel cruisers,used . to ex-
elle, and perhaps this change is all the better
101 obtaining the satisfaction demanded. But
there ought to be no abatement of the de
mands of our Government. An injustice
fort:luny complained of, when we were in
acre trouble,is none the less an inlustice now,
when that trouble is over. Indemnity for the
destruction caused by the Alabama and other
Illoglish-builtcraft, must be insisted on as a
matter - of right. - But; - in addition to this,
these ought fo be such a settlement of the
claims ;as will serve as a precedent
It
all future cases of a similar char
acter that may arise among any of
the nations of the earth. It is unfortunate
for this nation that at the time when the
Government should be devoting its best en
ergies and talents to the question at issue be
tween it and Great Britain, its Executive and
Xecretary of State should be engaged in a
quarrel with Congress, and its Minister to
England should have offered his resignation. '
If Mr. Johnson and Mr. Seward, instead of
resisting Congress and "swinging around the
circle" in a vain and discreditable hunt for 1
popularity, had co-operated with Congress,
the country would have been quiet and recon
structed, and the Government would have
been in a better condition fur demanding jus
tice from Great Britain. Even now, a rea
sonable amount of tact, firmness and energy
may secure the justice that we are entitled to.
AN DREW JOHNSON'S FIRST OFFENCE
In March 1865, after the disgraceful exhibi
lion that Andrew Johnson made of himself
en Inauguration Day, the BULLETIN WAS the
only Republican paper that contemnedhim - .
Mere is an editorial article on the subject,
which appeared in the columns of this paper:
"TBE VICE PRESIDENT.-If drunkenness in
high office could be made a felony or au impea
chable offence it would be a good thing for the
country. In Congress, especially when the slave
Wales were fully represented, we have had many
digraceful exhibitions of inebriety, and one of
our Presidents used to drink in a manner not
creditable tl.,himself or his office. But it was re
served for Mr. Andrew Johnson, Vice President
of the United States, to make a most melancholy
and mortifying display---of-drunkenness,
is the Senate Chamber, on. inauguration day, in
the presence of the President, his cabinet, the
members of Congress, the diplomatic corps, and
some thousands of ladies. It is not a pleasant
thing to think of, but such conduct ought not to
go unrebuked by those who assisted to place Mr.
Johnson in-his exalted position.. It will not do
to have only the political opponents of the Vice
President censuring his disgraceful conduct.
They have a right to condemn him, and it is not
unnatural that they should try to make political
capital out of the affair, and try to make the.
Republican party answerable for the sin of the
man whom they have placed in office. But that
is not the proper way to treat so grave an offence.
Mr. Johnson was a much longer time a Democrat
than ho has been a Republican, and the habit,
which is now said to be confirmed, was probably
acquired before the change in his political senti
ments. But, without reference to his opinions
he is deserving of the Severest censure from all
parties, because .he has disgraced his office and
manned the nation. It would be a relief to the
whole country and a small atonement fur the
wrong ho has done, if he would, without delay,
resign his office, and let the Senate 1111 his chair
with a worthier man."
If the Republican papers generally had as
sumed the tone of the BULLETIN in regard to
Mr. - Johnson's outrageous conduct at the•lrt
waguration, he might have been compelled to,
resign, and the nation would have been spared
the long Succession of other outrages which
have at last driven Congress to the tardy
remedy of impeachment. But the general
tone of the party journals was apologetic,
when the offence was alluded to at all; most
of them preserving total silence in regard to
it. The evil results of • this tenderness have
long been manifest; but it is a great satisfac
don to the proprietors-of this paper that its
opinions on the subject of Mr. Johnson'e con
duct were publicly recorded in the language
*poled above.
TIRE 'FONT OF ARITIpII JIEAVI IN
EIVROPE.
A German Statistician, Herr. Kolb, deputy
to the Munich Parliament from the Palati
nate., is the author of a Manual of Statistics
from which the Frankfort Zettung has
derived some interesting facts concerning the
different nations of Europe, their revenues
and expenses, during the present time of
peace. The gross revenues of the different
European States are put down at 10,500,000,-
000 francs, or $2,100,000,000. The expenses
of collection reduce, this revenue to 8,400,-
000,000 francs, or $1,680,000,000. The ex
penses of the different 'governments are stated
to be 9,375,000,000 francs, or $1,875,000,000.
The matter may be more succinctly stated
thus:
Expenses
Revenues
Annual deficit
Of the net revenue of the various powers
thus aggregated, the civil lists absorb 2.63 per
cent.; the standing armies 34.82 per cent.;
the interest on the public debts 37.23 per
cent. There remains, therefore, for the ac
tual needs of the continent only about one
fourth of the net revenue. The Frankfort
editor puts the whole force kept under arms
in this time of profound peace at 2,600,000
soldiers tind 200,000 sailors; total, 2,800,000
men,wbich must be very far below the actual
number, but we are following his figures and
the speculations based upon then. Ho esti
mates an average day's work of a man at the
moderate rate of one franc and eighty-five
centimes, or about 381 cents, and at this low
estimate he makes the armed peace
cost daily 3,750,000 francs or about
$750,000, and this simply from the loss Of
the labor of the soldiers and sailors, without
reference to their maintenance and pay.
Counting 300 working days in a year, and
estimating also the loss of the labor of about
800,000 cavalry and artillery horses, there is
an expenditure of about 1,300,000,000 francs,
or $260,000;000 per annum, simply from the
employment in military service of so many
men who might be engaged in the pursuits of
peaceful industry, Another loss, which can
not be estimated, is suffered from the clandes
tine emigration of young men threatened
with conscription, and from the enormous
mortality of barracks and camps.
These are startling and appalling figures,
particularly when it is considered that there
is a prospect of their increasing instead of
diminishing. Every year is adding to the
expenditures and reducing the revenues of
the Continental States of Europe. National
jealousies and rivalries, dynastic fears and
personal ambitions are adding yearly to the
burdens of the various peoples. How long
can they bear these ever-growing burdens?
The German editor truly says Europe ought
to be•very , ,,ftrong and yery rich to stand such
a. system. And he adds, pointedly, "The
unexampled aggrandizement and enrichment
of the United States, where no such sacri
fices are required, shows what Europe might
become if she could dispense with them."
THE__SINKING SHIP.
If the newspaper correspondents at Wash
ington tell the truth, and there is not the
slightest reason to doubt them,- the rats are.
making preparations to leave the sinking
ship. Even the departmental clerks who
formed a Johnson club some time ago, and
who were ready to take their bible oaths that
the present Andrew was a far greater man
and a purer patriot than the first presidential
Andrew, are now as mute as mice. They
cannot be persuaded even to hold a. meeting
to sustain their patron in the hour of his
adversity, and as the certainty of impeach
ment becomes more apparent, the prob
ability becomes stronger that they will
charge the name of their organization
to the "Ben Wade Club." Poor Mr.
Johnson! The very best thing he could d
would be to resign; be might thus continue
to be a possible power in the land, without
his hands being tied for all time by a sentence
of imptachrnent, and he might also hope to;
some little share of public sympathy. ()ace
impeached, he will be laughed at by Demo
crats and scowled at by Republicans; and
"most unkindest cut of all," he will be "cut
dead" by the noble army of champions in the
cause of Bread and Butter. Mr. Johnson is a
self made man ;he has swung around the circle
from a humble Alderman, to justice of the
peace, member of the Legislature, Congress
nian,Governor,Senator,V ice President to Pre
sident; but withal he has failed to learn the
lesson, so important to statesmen of small
calibre,that gratitude is a lively sense of favorb
to be received. There are very many
persons who have had far less experience i❑
circle-swinging than Mr. Johnson, Who tho
roughly understand that when a man who
undertakes to buy his way through to the at
tainment of any object, has the Means of
paying cut off, those whom he would buy
fall off also. In this predicament Mr. John
son impeached would stand; and even Mr.
Johnson, blind egotist as he is, must realize
by this time that impeachment is almost
reduced to a certainty. Change Seyton to
Seward and Mr. Johnson might, with great
propriety, repeat the following lines of the
great dramatist: ,
"Seyton!—l am sick at heart. r
* * * Seyton, I say !—This push,
Will cheer me ever, or dieseat me now: •
I have llv'd long enough : my way of life
Is fallen into the sear, the yellow leaf ;
And that which should accompany old age,
As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have ; but in their stead,
Curets, not loud, but deep, mouth-honor, breath,
Which the poor heart would fain deny, but da:c
• not.,,
GENERAL Li A.NCOCK•
General Hancock has acted wisely iu ask
ing to be relieved from the command of the
Fifth Military District. A. gallant officer in
the field, his services to the country in her
-hour of greatest peril cannot ovevestimated
and willnever be forgotten. But the duty
assigned to General Hancock by the Presi
dent, when he sent him to New Orleans, was
one for which he was not fitted, either natu
rally or professionally. Over-influenced by
Mr. Johnson's cajoleries, promises and flat
teries, he undertook the ungracious
work of undoing what Sheridan
had done so well, and that he
should not only have Ailed in car
.rying out Mr. Johnson's designs, but
should have suffered great personal daruage,is
a result which was inevitable. No man can
do Andrew Johnson's work with impunity,
THE DAILY EVENING BIILLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MARCH 9. 1868.
for that work is so mixed up with political
trlek wad intdgue, and po utterly unsupported
by the great loyal sentiment'of the country,
that it breaks down whoever lends himself
to it. General Hancock has failed in New
Orleans, and we are glad of it, for his own
sake. He has accomplished nothing for
Johnson and has placed himself in tho morti
fying position of having his orders revoked
by General Grant. Mr. Johnson did what he
could to make him ridiculous by his absurd
message to Congress in reference to him, and
he will probably pursue him with his fatal
favors, until his own removal from office
prevents the further exercise of his mischief
making propensities.
It is given out'from the White House that
Hancock will be placed in command of the
new Department of the Atlantic. This posi
tion, which is one of, at least, very doubtful
legality, has already been refused by Sherman
and Thomas, and Hancock will be a sensible
man not to compromise himself by accepting
a post which has been declined by his most
distinguished brother officers simply because
they recognize it as one of the President's
manccuvres which is sure to compromise and
injure those who lend themselves to it.
$3,876,000,000
1,680,000,000
$195,000,000
If there is one phase of Mr. Johnson's po
litical character more offensive than all
others, it is his habit of assuming the position
of injured innocence, and high eelf-devotion
to the cause of patriotism, regardless of all
expense. The country is periodically in
formed by those who are supposed to be his
spokesmen that this timid and modest Presi
dent of ours is only longing for the close of
his term, that he may retire to the peaceful
shades of private life, where he desires to live
until the next generation, which is to award
him that justice which, as he plaintively re
marks, is denied him by the obdurate cruelty
and ignorance of the present. This modern
Cincinnatus has no aspirations for the
Democratic nomination, which is a
very fortunate circumstance, as his im
peachment will leave him disqualified to
accept a situation as postmaster or tax-col
lector, much more the Presidency. His in
tention of retiring from public life will doubt
less be gratified, and such is the,,disposition to
indulge him in this modest desire, that exten
sive arrangements have been made to antici
pate the close of his full term, and let his
holiday commence at a much earlier date.
Mr. Johnson's pretensions to patriotism
and to disregard for office are the very sub
lime of hypocritical impudence, and are so
understood by all honest and intelligent
people. The presentgencration is doing him
justice, without waiting for posterity, and
should their representative men at Washing
ton fail in their official duty towards him,
they will not only fail to reverse the country's
verdict upon the usuriling treachery. of An
drew Johnson, but they will themselves
forever with his infamy and - share with him
in his disastrous downfall.
- The --- cause of Smericart -- art is offering
dreadfully at the hands of the publishers of
the New York pictorial newspapers. The
original representations - of - celebrated men or
places or events are, as an almost invariable
rule, the most horrible caricatures. Harper's
Weekly, Frank Leslie, and all their host
of imitators grow worse, instead of better,
week after week. Lately there have been
numerous illustrations of Washington scenes
and characters, connected with the Impeach
ment movement, which are barbarous in the
extreme. Portraits are given of Secretary Stan
ton, General Thomas, the Impeachment
Committee,, the House of Representatives,
the Senate Chamber, &c., in which the rival
ripers simply vie with each other iu the pro
lucticn of the most absurdly grotesque cari
-4.a ltues of prominent men and well-known
;(calitks. Where the American illustrated
papers confine themselves to copying good
union engravings they are very successful;
but they need to employ a very different
',Jade of artists for their original designs, if
hey hope to reach an approximation to the
standard illustrations of the French, English,
or. German periodicals.
Dr. George W. Ncbinger, a well-known citi
zen, died yesterday morning . after a lingering ill-
Ilt'FF, Dr. Nebinger was in the forty-fourth year
of Lisa , o at the time of his death. The deceased
was the son of Mr. Andrew Nebinger, Sr., a very
old and much respected resident of the old dis
trict of Southwark. Be commenced his business,
career as an assistant in the drug store of his
brother, Dr. Andrew Nebinger. He subsequently
studied medicine and graduated as a physician
at the Pennsylvania University. He never
relinquished the drug business, and a
large portion of his professional practice was
among the poor and ncedy,whose grateful thanks
were the only recompense which he received
for his services in their behalf. Dr.
_Nebinger,
early in life, took an active part in politics, and
ho was much before the people of the lower wards
during times of political agitation. He was a
candidate for Congress in one or two campaigns,
and at the time of his death he was talked of as a
competitor for the place now held by the Hon.
Samuel J. Randall, as Representative of the First
Congressional District. The deceased was an
elector on the Presidential ticket in 1816; but the
course of Mr. Buchanan on the Lecompton clues•
don alienated him from the extreme Wing of his
party, and he acted with the Douglas organiza
tion in the exciting campaigns that followed the
split caused by the Kansas question.
For nine years Dr. N. was a member of the
Board of Directors of Girard College ; he was
long an active member of the Board of Control
lers bf the. Public Schools, and he WlB usefu l
and efficient as a member of his owe / Sec
tional School Board. Perhaps the most import
ant public services rendered by him, was
while acting as a volunteer surieon
in the army during a portiOn of the
war: This service was performed cheerfully
and promptly, and frequently at a time when
there was very • great-suffering throuzli the want
of, sufficient medical and, surgical aid, Dr.
Nebinger was an unassuming, miseltish, kind
hearted man, and he won the regard and respect
of all who knew him; and hundreds who were
estranged from him politically, never failed to
entertain a feeling of personal respect for his
I many good qaffities. He was unmarried.

The funeral of Mrs. Julia Dean Cooper took
place yesterday afternoon, at Christ (Episcopal)
Church, corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-first

pect to one whose death they sincerely

which were laid two beautiful wreaths and a
floral cross, the gifts, respectively; of Mrs. W. A.
Moore, Mrs. Eliza Logan Wood and Mrs. Barney

have the honor to report that Mr. bayld
son, the naval constructor, with his mechanics,
were earnestly at work on this ship
at the mooring of the Purveyor. The
energy evinced by him and 'the men in
his employ shoWs a" thorough determination to
accomplish the work of launching the Mononga

proximo. Mi. Davidson is agreeably surprised
m aiding this ship In such preservation.
She is resting upon a bed of hard
said-etone, upon which she has made
no impression since she landed. I have no anx
iety about the preservation of her stores or any
thing belonging to her. Since the earthquake
nothing has betin stolen from her, and no at
tempt made to!pillage. I shall be compelled to
take her home ender sail, °wing to the great dif
ficulty pf securing the steam-post to which the
rudder is attached.

• [From to-day's Herald.)
MARCH B.—The gold market was extremely dull during
the past weekend in the absence of any new political ex
citement the fluctuations were unusually light, the ex
treme range having been 141:1,i to 140 , j up to three o'clock
yesterday, after which there was a decline t0140V41404,
under a pressure to sell, influenced by no apparent cause
beyond the previous dullness and the large floating
supply of coin, to carry which from
four to . seven per cent. per annum
had to be paid. The shipments of specie and bullion for
the week aggregated 011,043,990, and the cm stoma receipts
at the port were $2,482.94d, while the lduti•Treamury die.
bursed 52,353.0011 in payment of interest on the public
debt, mainly the Ten-forty loan. The fact that the gold
premium has declined, instead of having ad
vanced. as was generally expected, since the
President was impeached, goes to show that the
public credit has not suffered by the event, unprece
dented as it is in our history. It Is true that
gayer:men' securities have been neglected and somewhat
depressed during the interval, but this has been owing
more to the agitation of the Sherman Funding bill than
anything else, and the persistency with which that
Senator has forced his uncalled-for and damaging mea
sure epee the attention of the country cannot be said to
reflect credit upon his judgment If he has really the fi.
nancial interests of the country et heart. At any time
such a bill would have a disturbing and * if
_ there was the least probability of its passage; because it
conveys a threat that conversions of five-twenthae. Into
the proposed new five percent. stock will be made com
pulsory. Its fonrth section provides that "the bonds
known as five-twenties shall, after the expiration of five
-- L - cars ex f c rgm an t g b e ep floarte,lailethebegleon
authorized
k o e r l i a z oger i t v herf i ll
act, and such as are now redeemable shall be presented
for exchange on or before the first of November next,
and not thereafter, and' the residue to be presented with
in six months after the expiration of five years from their
date and not thereafter." This alone is sufficient to
defeat the bill; but it has other features fully as ob
jectionable. It providea for a fresh issue of forty-four
millions of currency and an increase of one hundred and
fifty re Unmet in the amount of national bank
notes, while it reduces the aggregate of
41'nited States notes, nr k greenbacks, to two
honored and fifty millions, although national
bade notes are by law redeemable in legal tender notes
en &Maud. Mr. Morrill in hie recent speech in the Sen
ate condemned this bill point by point and also the Be

in view of the Ist of April being settling _day in Penneyl-

for making the quarterly returns of the Nationallianks.
'1 he foreign exchange market was quiet and heavy in
tone, ender which rates yielded .100.11 per cent. The sup
ply d bills was huger than in the previous week, owing
mainly, to cotton shipments, while the demand from im
porterswas light. The cotton exports continue large,
these for the week ending on Friday from all the ports
having been 93.360 bales making a total of 1.03:1,280 bales
Pince peptetuber 1, 1867, against 72 , 2,940 for the correspond
ing period last' year. The stocks at all the portm
are in consequence lower at present than they were
at the same time last year, namely, 351,10 d bales
against 632,741 bales. The enlarged shipments during the
last two months have been owing to the, sharp advance in
the nrice of the staple in the Liverpool market, where the
stocks of both American and Indian cotton are much
lower than they were at this date In 1867. The stocks in
Liverpool and London. including consignments to those
parts afloat, were on the 22d of February estimated to be
only 661,500 balms against 1,046,880 last year. Hence -the

CONTEST FOR THE NEW CONTRAC

RUMOR OF A FRESH ATTACK
Naval
The Impeachment.
(Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Enlletin.i
W.imilmiTon, March 9.—Thee mist Whitt' has
pervaded political circles since Friday last has
commenced to rise slowly, and the exact condi
ion which affairs are about to assume is
partially discernable. The President's most
ntimate friends, and those to whom he
oohs for counsel and advice, have not known
precisely what course be intended to pursue.
His friends circulate many rumors daily, mainly
o sec what effect they have upon the public and
as a feeler to the Radicals. On Friday last those
of his counsel who were here were closeted
with him a great portion of the day.
That night Mr. David Dudley Field, who
has been engaged by Mr. Johnson, left
here quietly for New York, and during all
day Saturday was closeted there with leading
Democratic politicians! He returned to Wash
ington early yesterday morning, and was closeted
with the President during the day. This fact
alone, in the present condition of affairs, is re
garded as significant.
This morningit is stated by leading Democrats
that the President has fully decided upon his
plans, and that there will be no hesitancy In car
rying them out. Firsti on next Friday his coon.
eel will appear in Court, ready to proceed with
the trial, and not ask for an extension of
time. They ' will then object to every
Republican Senator, who has expressed an opin
ion as to Mr. Johnson's guilt or innocence on
the articles of impeachment, beingUllowed to act
as a juror in the case. This point they of course
do not expect to carry, but to have it overruled.
Second—the question as to whether the Senators
from twenty-seven States constitute the
Senate of the United States will be
raised. They will take the same view of
this matter that the President has in all his public
speeches and State papers maintained, that until
the ten Southern States have their representa
tives in the House. and Senate of the United
States, the latter body is not competent to take
up, try and pass judgment on
so vital and important a ques
tion as impeaching the highest officer
known to the Government. railing on both
these questions, the President will then firmly re
fuse to proceed with his trial, asserting that in
each a court justice cannot be done him, and
then in his majesty, rise, and tender his resigna
tion, and appeal directly to the people
to sustain him and to pass judgment
at the ballot-box against the Senate of
the United States. This, in short, is what the
Democrats who are intimate with the President
assert to-day as the course he will pursue. Their
story meets with - some credence among the Re
publicans, and it is regarded by them as a shrewd
attempt on the part of the President to force
himself on the Democratic party as their next
candidate.
General Grant was informed of it this morning
by a Radical Congressman, and he expressed but
little surprise at the statement, but said that if
the President could only be persuaded by his
counsel to do the last net threatened, to tender
his resignation, he, Grant, would think that the
President still possessed some little reason..
A great many rumors are afloat to-day, to the
effect that the President intends to resort to very
bold means during the next few days to obtain
possession of the War Office, but they are re
garded as rumors. It is also stated that the Presi
dent will appear before the Impeachment Court
in person on Friday nest, but the Republicans
doubt Its truth.
The Revenue ES tamp Printing.
[ Special Despatch tethe Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
A SII I NGI ON, March IL—The Treasury Depart
ment will in a few days award the contract for
printing all revenue stamps required
,by the
Government. This contract involves Many mil
lions:of dollars. The firm of Butler & Carpen
ter, In Philadelphia, have had this contract for
some time, but it has now expired. The bidding
to secure the contract is spirlted,fand the most
prominent parties who have made bids are But
ler c Carpenter, the American National Bank
Note Company, and Geo. T. Jones, of Cincin
nati. Each of.these competitors offers the Gov
eminent very important inventions to insure the
cancellation of the stamps and to prevent the
stamps from being used again. The Invention
of Mr. Jones especially Is looked upon by the'
Treasury Department In a very favorable light,
and its adoption is probable.
