Mr, YOUNG remains at his -post. Mr.

lications,which may justly impair the con.
fidence of his associates in the gentleman
who has been assailed, but insists thatthe
charge involving treachery to the Ass°,
elated Press ought to be fully investigated,
suspending, .for that purpose, his own
judgment thereon. It is stated that libel
'suits are to be instituted against all jour
nals which copied the original scandal
from the New York Bun. But few West
ern journals reprinted the full text of the
publication; but the synopsis, which was
prepared and'telegraphed by the Asso
ciated Press agent in New York, has ap
peared in probably every newspaper in
the country which regularly receives
news thiough that channel. In this con
nection, l a Philadelphia journal charges
that the New York agent of the Associa

and that he has availed himself of his offi
cial position to gratify his inimical feel
ing.> This charge has enough of plausi
bility .to entitle •it to a hearing in the
pfoper quarters, and we commend it to
the attention of the Executive Committee
of the Western Press.
TUE MARY LOW ELL,
England makes a peremptory demand
upon the Cuban authorities for the re
lease of the Mary Lowell, an American
Vessel seized by those authorities in Brit
ish waters, and In violation of the British
sovereignty, which was at the moment
responsible for her protection. This de
mand also includes such other reparation
as justice requires. ' The vessel has been
already condemned by the Spanish Ad
miralty as a lawfal prize—that verdict
standing upon the fact that her cargo con
sisted of war material, understood to be
for the insurgent use—so that
the position cannot fail to embar
rass the Cuban government. But the
violation of her sovereignty, of which
England complains; was flagrant, and
could not be submitted to, even without
that American demand, for the enforce
ment of the English . maratime-law,
which rests at the foundation of this
case. It is satisfactory to perceive the
promptitude and vigor with which the
affair is taken up at London, and which
will be fully sustained in the West In
dian waters, in securing, in any event,
the redress thus insisted on.
TUE ALABAMA iN ENGLAND.
The English press comment upon the
rejection of the Alabama treaty, and
upon the accompanying speech of Mr.
Smarm, with a freedom of criticism
which was naturally to be expected.
They are quite willing to await Mr.
Mcrrixy's arrival, and to listen to his pro
positions courteously, but all the journals
are agreed that the American ultimatum,
if substantially in accord with our Sena
tor's positions, will not deserve the con
sideration of an hour.
The cable also supplies us with what
purports to be a synopsis of the Ministe
rial deliberations. It is noticeable that
the Premier, GLADSTONE, expressed confi
dence that American diplomacy would
not insist upon the extreme views pre
sented by our Senator, bat would meet
England upon fair and reasonable terms.
Lord CLARENDON held a similar opinion,
and avowed his faith in the efficacy of
friendly negotiations for tae final adjust
ment of the controversy.
It is 'apparent that popular feeling in
Great Britain inclines to look upon the
American claim as aggreiiive, and to re
sist it as such, and not because of its in
trinsic Injustice. John Bull, when con•
fessedly in the wrong, would rather fight
than submit to be bullied. He will see
that his newspapers ildicule our 'claims
as unreasonable, and humiliating to the
English pride, and it will need but
a very , little time to get the, back of the .
British lion into its most pugnacious
curve. It will be quite as well as we
need expect, if the national sentiment
does not turn out strong enough to
control Ministers, and force their Gov
ernmsut "into an attitude much less
friendly tuward America than their
present judgment indicates. Public
opinion is a power in this country, but
it is an element of at least equal
strength in Great Britain. Upon this
question, the crisis of excitement has
passed by in popular feeling here, but it
is just setting in on the other side , of the
water.
It is quite probable that Mr. MOTLEIT
will be instructed not to reopen negotia
tions for the settlement of the Alabama
claims. With an official announcement
of the opinions which his own govern
. menCentertains, our Minister will refrain,
it is believed, from further discussions; at
all events, be will take the Initiative in no

popular excitements, on either side, have
passed away, the questions at issue will
be again taken up, and with better sac:
CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Our sympathizers with the Cuban in
surgents are encouraged by a transient
gleam of light in the direction of Mexico,
which recognizes the belligerent rights of
the rebels. There Is not much in this.
It is true that Mexico, although an other
wise - insignificant figure in the great
finally of nations, is still a nation, with
all the nominal prerogatives of an inde
pendent, and established sovereignty.
This recognition was equally within her
discretion and her authority. Bnt she
has no . marine. Her flag is never Been in
the Gulf, or ur•on the seas. This recog
nition leaves her still neutral; she takes
by it no part in the - existing hostilities, be
yond the simple acknowledgment 9f each
of the two flags as equally entitled to their
legitimate freedom of the seas. But
neither of them may establish prize
courts in her ports; neither of them may
make her neutrality a cover for ally new
form of 'Warfare against the other. Un
less Mexico goes yet farther, in her old
hatred for Spain, and allies herself with
the rebels, which would be war for her
self also, she cannot suffer her neutral
flag to be prostituted for letters of marque,
or exhibit her sympathies by- any overt
act whatever. All that the insurgents
have really gained. is the sufferance of
their own flag, flying over their own
shipping in the Mexican harbors. Of
course, no obstacles are likely to be put,
by her officials, in the way of shipments
of warlike material for rebel use, but in
that sufferance she will risk the forfeiture
of her own neutrality, for, if persisted in
after remonstrance, it will be a good
sous bells for Spain, whose navy is ample
to blockadeher porta. The Juarez gov
eminent has little inclination, and less
ability, to support an unnecessary war,
and will therefore, we think, abstain from
every overt act of hostility, even against
the hated Spaniards. Hence, the Cubans,
who have not yet one seaport of her own,
need expect but little of substantial bene
fit from this recognition.
Again. come rumors from Washing
ton, that the Administration in
clines to follow the Mexican lead,
by supporting the rebels with
our own more potential recognition. It
is even declared that this step is already
resolved upon, and is to be speedily taken.
It is also announced that a recent order,
front the President, for the sale of our
surplus war material to any applicants
therefor, is issued expressly in the insur
gent interest. Neither of these reports is
worthy of belief. We have a surplus of
war material, at the command of any
cash purchaser. Its removal from our
coast, in violation of our own obligations
to a friendly power, is prohibited by law,
and therefore quite another affair. It
world equally be prohibited by the same
lawS, even if we were to recognize the
rebels as belligerents. Neutrality would
then\ forbid us to afford, to either party,
such nuiterial aid.
Tlie Administration has no official
knowledge of the existing insurrection.
It is thus far considered, in the diplomacY
of the two nations, as a riotous resistance
to a legitimate authority. It is in this
way that Spain chooses to avoid the em
barrassments which our own recognition
of the Southern rebellion brought upon
our Government, eight years since.
Whether it would be wiser for the Span
ish Government to recognize the Cubans
as insurgents, and to pat all other powers
upon their just neutral responsibilities, is
a question which is likely to be
determined by the events. Until
then, our Adminisiration must ig
nore the insurrection as politically
a fact, or take along and most decisive
step toward the interruptiOn of friendly
relations with Spain. Such a step has
been, and still is, most improbable. Any
existing difficulties in the maintenance of
a strictly neutral position, try the Ameri
can government, 'between Spain and her
colonial subjects;' would be immeasurably
increased by our recognition athe rebels.
The President will not multiply his
barrasaments in that way, unless he pro
poses to go still farther, in a direction
which the National sentiment cannot
justify.
MEXICAN ANNEXATION.
It is rumored that dispatches, recently
received from our Minister in Mexico,
cover a proposal from that Government
to cede the two provinces of Sonora and
Sinaloa to the United States for a fixed
money consideration. A special meeting
of the Cabinet was held on Friday after
noon. the. President summoning' the at
tendance of such Secretaries as were then
away from the city. It was then sup
posed that the subject for Cabinet consid
eration would be the nature of instruc
tions to be given to Minister Motley, but
it is now thought that the Mexican propo
sition occupied the meeting. In either
event, none of the conclusions reached in
the council Inive yet transpired.
These Mexican priminces would con
stitute, in respect of their vast mineral
wealth, a desirable acquisition to the ter
ritory of this Bepublic. But their gen
graphical position is so peculiar as to, ex-
elude the idea of the annexation ol" these
provinces alone . Skirting the astern
coast of the Gulf of California with a
narrow strip of territory, of a <width lrgt•
,rylng from one hundred and, 114 y to Dior
hundred miles, east and west, and more
than fifteen hundred miles in length,
'

north and south, and hemnied
in on the ^stern border, :for
that distance, by. the Mexican States of
Chihuahua and Durango, these States
are .confronted by the Gulf and, beyond
that, by the Mexican peninsula of LoWer
California. The States of Durango, Chi
huahua and Coahuila are interposed be
tween Sonora and Sinoloa, on the West,
and Texas on the East. Against the an
nexation of an area thus situated, there
appear the strongest political and mili
tary objections. Indeed, such annexa
tion would necessarily involve the speedy
absorption of the three other Mexican
States which now cut them off from our
present Texian border. Nor could Mex
ico hold the peninsula west of the Gitlf
for any length of time.
It is probable that if Mexico propoies
any cession of her present territory what
ever, it includes the States of Sonora and
Chihuahua alone, or perhaps the peninsula
also. Such a re-arrangement of bounda
ries Would conveniently round out the
northern possessions of the neighboring
Republic, and would give to us the con
trol of nearly all of that vast area stretch
ing due west from Texas to the Pacific
Ocean.
Annexation in that direction, and with
a just regard to the geographical relations
of the two nations, is much better worth
our while,-than anything to be found in
the Caribbean Sea. In the first case, we
should render our imperial territory solid,
compact, defensible, and sweeping the
continent clear from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Western Ocean. The construc
tion of the Southern line of trans-conti
nental railway would at once follow, and
the mineral resources of the new .terri
tories—which are very inadequately
known, but of which we know enough
to warrant the belief that they
are practically inexhaustible, when
thoroughly developed by the energy and
skill of our countrymen—would, in' a
very few years, repay all the outlays of
the nation and of individuals.
Mexico is to-day, as she has been since
the expulsion of the French ir.vaders,
enjoying an unusual exemption from do
mestic commotion. President Joann
holds the Government with a arm and
steady hand, and, on the whole, as ;ft
seems, over a people more contented
And obedient to authority than Mexico
has knoirn since Santa Anna's paimiest
days. But his treasury is empty, and he
looks in vain, for resources, to a people
whose agriarlture is limited to the sim-
ple procurement of their own subsistence,
—an easy matter in that clintate—who
have no mannactures adequate even for
similar domestic necessities, and whose
mining interests, once fruitful of the
precious metals for the commerce
of the world, have dwindled into
an absolute insignificance. Burthened
with vast public debts and altogether
without means to discharge them, the
government supplies its current necessi-
ties by forced contributions and arbitrary
impositions of every sort upon the people.
It is not, then, surprising that the old pro
ject of a territorial sale to this powerful
and wealthy Republic of the North
should be again revived, but it will
be a novel experience for Mexico
if this project be now connet
mated, with the consent of a people which
has ever iealously resisted all shallot
propositions. If Juarez seriously contem
plates it, and shall succeed in carrying :it
through, he will not only find us willing
customers, but he will exhibit to the
world a most convincing proof that his
power has a substantial hold upon the
loyalty of his own countrymen.

The Alabama Claims—Comments or the
English Pressen Mr. SumnerPaspeech.
The London papers open their editorial
pages with comments on the speech lately
delivered by Mr. Sumner on the subject
of the Alabama claims, and the relations
generally existing between Great Britain
and America. The writers suppress the
text of the speech, however. ; •
The &an John Bright's organ, says:
The claims of Sumner are so new and
startling E ao vaguely put that they must
be regarded simply as enormous, and
'withal so unexpected that if they convey
merely the shadow of his instructions to
Minister Motley, he will come to the Eng
lish metropolis in a very different official
guise from that under which Minister
Johnson arrived.
The Star deplores the rejection by Eng
land of the early evertures made by ex-
Minister Adams for the settlement of this
question. President Grant, Is not, it is
said, a whole-soul lover of peace, as was
Lincoln. He has intense determination
of character, but is a western man with
ont that natural genius which. character
ized Lincoln, who instead of reading had
actual experience of the world. Presi
dent Grant has no training either as a
lawyer or politician. He is intensely
American, and the entire world is ac
quainted with his resolution of purpose.
After defending England from the
charge of general sympathy with the
Confederation, the writer confesses that
the escape of the Alabama from England
was both deplorable and disgraceful,
forming the worst precedent Great Brit
ain could establish for the future in such
like contingencies.
The Star expresses, however, its amaze
ment at the character of Mr. Sumner's
demand for reparation. If Mr. Motley's
instructions are couched in a similar
spirit, his mission will be fruitless, as the
extravagance in the propositions will
strike the public at once. Every one
knows how anxious the British people
are to deal fairly on the subject, but
justly considers that if her concessions
I are to be merely used as stand points'for
further, and at present, unreasonable de
mands, England must carefully consider
the position, lest by yielding unadvisedly,
she should establish a worse precedent
than that of burning ships on the high
seas, by admitting a discussion of the de
mands as utterly untenable, and which
ought to be resisted. •
The Times designates the estimates of
the American damages put forth by Mr.
Sumner as porteutious ' ' as it hastalrady
reached £ 422,000,000 , and may in the
future embrace the possible earnings of
all the soldiers drawn from the fields of
productive labor by the war. The speech,
it adds, is worthy of Mr. Sumner, and
deserves alit impartial:consideration. He
*ante, however, something more than
national reparation from England, asking
for contrition and public humiliation.
Treaties of peace, however, dictated by
conquerors at the'head of armies, are
found to be unencumbered by such
expressions. An ackuowledginent of
moral 'liability for these claims,-made .
beforehand, would prejudge the , contro
versy and stultify the proposed settlement.
In the event of an arbitration, the
court declaring England not liable to pay
.damages, would her apology be taken
back? The views taken by Mr. Sumner's.
arguments on these points is puerile, un
reasonable and unstatesmtudike.
The Times argues that the concession
of belligerent rights to the South was a
simple act, and in fact not, dependent on
the Union blockade, for ad there not
been a blockade it would not have altered
the case to any appreciable degree. Mr.
Sumner makes, it is said, no complaint
against France, although Napoleon was
desirous of recognizing the independence
of the Southern Confederation. It is al
leged that though England is held forth
as the only foreign power implacably hos
tile to America, it is not too much to say,
that at one moment during the war the
fate of the American Union depended on
the voice of England, whose sword
thrown into the scale would have al
tered the result. She declined the con
test, and it evinces a degree of unfair
ness, bordering on infatuation, to leave
this consideration out of account. It is
the common practice with Americanjour
nalists and pollgclans to vil li fy England,
and the protecdve tariff plan is popular
with them, merely as likely to inflict an
injury on Great Britain. Let atonement
be made for the insulting language by in
, dividuals, and it will be seen whether
England and America, by a retrospective
verdict of public opinion, will continue
the cultivation of that mutual respect
which is as necessary as in the private
relations of life. Notions, in such, only
deal in overt acts, and these constitute
merely possible subjects - I'os pecuniary
compensation. -,.... ..
The. Standard, Tory o BRA: The
English people now know what-Mr. Mot
ley will have to aim at in his efforts to
arrrange the Alabama .claims on a basis
now wasted away. In, some respects '
good will ensue from the candor which
the American Senate displays. Formerly
the danger was that England *mild step
beyond a due regard for national honor
and dignity and allow the claims; but now,
when the demand haa assumed its present
proportions, they will feel assured that,
even with John Bright, in the Cabinet,
they are safe from the chance of dis
graceful capitulation. The American
claim can hardly. be described in se
rious language, and its terms do not
excite indignation. They might as well
argue against a proposal for American
troops to hold the Tower of London as a
material guarantee, or that the Prince of
Wales should be sent to Washington and
Placed in the hands of the Federal au

choose to inflict. In other words, she
has decid that the Alabama claims shall

shadowed by Mr. Sumner.
Mr. Clarendon expressed belief that
the actual negotiations going on bet Ween
the two countries on the subject were of
a far less extreme character than ..the
speech of American Senators, or ' the -
articles in the publicepress. He hoped to
find Mr. Motley as courteous as Mr. Jena
son, and the present administration "'wee,
eager fora lasting continuance of friendly
.relations with the United States.
Gladstone professes to have hood

recent rejection of the treaty.on this sub

over the laboratories in which science had
been enriched by so many important, dis

THE REASON 'wire
Dr. Revser's Blood Searcher is the ,best. It isf
computedthat% tuan's system undergoes three
Miles a year, that is every feu months, a realest
and thorough change, that la, that at the end of
that time nothing remains in the syctem of the
material of which It was composed before that
time. The eliminating organs carry out the
worn.out and used.up material, and new Matter
is made to take tU place laud carry on the work
ings of the human organism.' 'The cesst of four
months treatment in this way would ' not at the t
outside be more than ten dollars, said frequently«

Especially is this medicine suitable at this

powers of life, like all the rest or nature are

apt to be regarded as useless and migratory, but
with DE. RETISSIVEI BLOOD [SEARCHER we

ply others with needful things for their wanta ,
cannot center a greater service than to keep a ,

shelves to supply their wants. Dr. Keyser will
take back every half duen that remains unsold.
It at the saute , time affords the merchant a'
good profit. and to those who need It, it is of
more value than silver and gold, for what can be
of more value to man than a medicine which car
