THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 22, 1880.

England has a profound interest in the great
party struggle now so rife in America. Who shall
be the next President ? is perhaps a question the
answer to which, some would say, is no concern of
ours. It is of even more practical concern than
whether GARIBALDI shall emancipate Italy. It is
quite a mistake to imagine that all our interest in
it centres in its ultimate bearing on negro emanci-
pation, though the deliverance of more than three
millions of our fellow-men from, the most cruel
bondage ever known on earth will never fail to be
a delightful hope to Englishmen. We have an
international and a commercial interest in the elec-
tion which will be made next November of a
magistrate to preside over one half of the English
race.

A noble, and, in an oratorical point of view, a
splendid speech, just delivered by Senator SEWARD,
a name well and favourably known in England,
places this truth, unintentionally perhaps, in a clear
light. We have not for a long time read anything
more truthful and manly from America. It is quite
free from all that half-schoolboy oratory, exaggera-
tion rather, which detracts so much from the prac-
tical effect of American speaking. We should think
this ppeech must have a marked effect on the coming
elections of the delegates who are to elect the Pre-
s:dent. We can only say, if it has not, it ought to
have. It mirrors to the whole republic so faith-
fully its present position, traces it so clearly to the
mistaken policy which was initiated 40 years ago,
and urges so convincingly the reversal of that policy
as the grand essential for the salvation of the
Union from its present difficulties and evils, that
sensible and moderate men throughout the States
must feel that Mr. SEWARD has proved the case of
the Republican party, and the claims on the United
States of its representative, Mr. ABRAHAM LIN-

COLN.
Mr. EVERETT resented and controverted, in a very
able speech, the remarks of Lord GREY, in the
House of Lords, on the darker phases of American
democracy. But his lordship hardly drew a darker
picture than `Zr. SEWARD
.now does. The great
error of Earl GREY lay in ascribing to democratic
institutions what is really the work of the most
aristocratic institution on earth, that of slavehold-
ing ; it is the slaveholders of America, and the
moneyed men to whom their estates are mortgaged,
who have created nearly all the evils that Lord
GREY too accurately depicts. It is they who have
corrupted the native and Irish mob, and used them
for their own purposes; they who have degraded
the administration of justice ; they who have passed
Acts, and got decisions from the Supreme Court, at
which humanity shudders ; they who have dis-
graced the Union in its foreign relations, till small
or weak neighbour States dread its violence and
filibusterism, and great foreign States expect
chicane or rudeness from its Cabinet. Here is a
picture, which, though long, is worthy of promi-
nence ; had it been drawn by an Englishman it
would have been severely denounced in America,
and perhaps in our great cotton capital. Having
shown that the Government of the United States
has failed to "secure respect and goodwill abroad,
and good order, contentment, and harmony at
home," he proceeds thus :--
"The Canadians certainly neither envy nor love us. All
the independent American plwers, from the Rio Grande to
Cape Horn, while they strive to construct Governments
for themselves after our models, fear, and many of them
hate us. European nations do indeed revere our constitu •
i ions' and admire our progress, bat they generally agree in
pronouncing us inconsistent with our organic principle,
and capricious. The President inveighs against corruption
among
the
people. The immediate representatives of the
people in Congress charge the President with immoral prac-
tices, and the President protests against their action as
subversive of the executive prerogative. The Howie (Inc,.
presentatives organises itself convulsively amid confessed
dangers of popular commotion. The Senate listens unsur-
Prised, and almost without excitement, to menaces of vio-
lence, secession, and disunion. Frauds and violence in the
territories aro palliated and rewarded. Exposure and re •
sistance to them are condemned and punished, while the
just, enlightened, and reasonable will of the people there,
though constitutionally expressed, is circumvented, dis-
obeyed, and disregarded. States watch anxiously for un-
lawful intrusion and invasion by citizens of other States,
while the federal courts fail to suppress piracies on the high
a gas, and even on our own coasts. The Government of the

Union courts and submits to State espionage of the Federal
mails, while the States scarcely attempt to protect the
personal rights of citizens of other States, peaceably pursuing
harmless occupations within their fraternal jurisdictießs."

This is only a part of the picture ;—Mr. SEWARD
proceeds to show how universal is the dissatisfac-
tion ; but the discontent of all is just the hopeful
sign, in his view. He seems desirous to exonerate '
individuals from overmuch blame, and to throw it
chiefly on parties; since everything, he says, de-
pends on the almost powerless individual States-
man being supported, powerfully or feebly, by his
party. He exposes vigorously the ephemeral cha-
racter of all the parties, and then boldly traces the
whole mischief to its source. That he shows to
have been the departure of the country from a
sound and healthy policy in 1820. In this we must
entirely agree with Mr. SEWARD. Up to that
time the spirit of the constitution had been held
to be restrictive and repressive of slavery, and its
object to carry out its own well-known and noble
fundamental principle. Then, however, commenced
the struggle respecting the admission of Missouri,
as a slave State, into the Union. It was refused
admission for three years; but the issue was the
famous, or rather infamous, Missouri compromise,
by which slavery
1
was prohibited only to the north
of a certain parallel of latitude.

From that period has dated the rapid demoralisa-
tion of the American Government, of the American
people, and even of the American Christian
Churches. The slaveholders were emboldened, yet
Cunning as well as energetic. They alternately Ca-
joled and threatened the free States, and filled the
Presidential chair, the Supreme Court of the United
States, the Senate, and even the army and navy and
every federal State office, down to village post-
master, with their creatures. When the Missouri
compromise, pronounced final at the time, stood in
their way, they enforced its repeal; when they
found that their slaves preferred to escape from
the happiness of the domestic institution into the
Free States, they actually procured the enactment
of that infernal Fugitive Slave Law, which is un-
equalled in the iniquity of its provisions, not to say
of its principle, by any law in any civilised State
whatever. And thus they have gone on, till they
have made slavery the permeating and controlling
spirit of the whole American Union. The slave
power dominates everywhere. It gives its hateful
character to laws, and customs, and manners.
Overthrow this power—place men in office who see
in it an evil to be checked, to be ashamed of, and
not to be nurtured at the cost of all that should
make a country dear to Freemen—and the whole
political tone of things at home and abroad would
be quickly changed. Every Christian nation has,
therefore, an interest in this change.
Mr. SEWARD, thereupon, boldly counsels a return
to the policy from which they should never have
departed. He observes that forty years, the long,
weary period during which this fatal policy has
been pursued, is not more in the life of a nation
than a single year in that of an individual ; and
then nobly adds—" It is not more true that per-
sonal persistence in error leads inevitably to ruin
than it is that every nation exists by obedience to
the same moral laws which direct individual life,
that they are written in its original constitution,
and it must continually reform itself according to
the spirit of those laws, or perish. My humble
advice, then, fellow-citizens, is that we return and
re-establish the original policy of the nation, and
henceforth hold, as we did in the beginning, that
slavery is and must be only a purely local, tempo-
rary, and exceptional institution, confined within
the slave States, where it already exists ; while
freedom is the general, normal, enduring
and permanent condition of society within
the jurisdiction, and under the authority
of the constitution of the United States." He
well knows, however, that all kind of dangers
are threatened, but in reply to all questions, of
what disasters and calamities will follow the elec-
tion of Mr. LINCOLN and the reversal of the Slave
policy, he replies "No dangers, disasters or cala-
mities. All parties will acquiesce, because it will
be the act of the people, in the exercise of their
sovereign power, in conformity with the constitu-
tion and laws, aad in harmony with the eternal
principles of justice and the benignant spirit of the
age in which we live. All parties and all sections
will alike rejoice in the settlement of a controversy
which has agitated the country and disturbed its
peace so long. We shall regain the respect and
good will of the nations, and once more, consistent
with our principles, and with our ancient charac-
ter, we shall, with their free consent, take our
place at their head, in the advancing progress tea
wards a higher and more happy, because more
humane and more genial civilisation."

Grouse shooting has led the way to partridge
shooting—partridge shooting is leading the way in

,s turn to pheasant shooting—Parliament has
been " up" now nearly a month—the French
Emperor has been leisurely making a holiday
tour through Savoy, through Nice, through Mar-
seilles, into Corsica, into Algeria—and Mr. COB-
DEN is still pottering away in a back office in a
back street of Paris over that wretched Commer-
cial Treaty ! The marvellous concoction is not
yet quite finished. It requires a little more sim-
mering in the pot before the mess of pottage that
we have allowed ourselves to be sold for (and
with ourselves the Nizzards and Savoyards also !)
before this wonderful mess of pottage cars be
fairly uncovered and served up for the simulta-
neous enjoyment and refection of Frenchmen.
and Englishmen. We are still left to imagine
the delicacy of the coming flavour. We are still
left (for that matter) to conjecture the character
of the various ingredients. The first account
given to us of the feast in preparation was cer-
tainly enough in all conscience to make our mouths
water with expectation. Unluckily, however, we
got a momentary glimpse of the compound seeth-
ing there in that ex-official, or perhaps we should
rather call it more correctly (remembering Mr.
COBDEN'S anomalous diplomatic charactet), in
that extra-official cauldron, over yonder, in the
French capital, in the Rue Quelquechose. It was
the merest momentary glimpse, it is true, but it
was glimpse enough in all conscience, neverthe-
less. It was sufficient to satisfy any mind of
ordinary intelligence that the good things there
brought together were almost entirely (if not
entirely) contributed by ourselves that the
French, instead of contributing their fair
share, had absolutely contributed Nothing at the
period of that premature, and, therefore in one
respect, most untimely eclaz:rcissement. All the
encouragement we have since been able to obtain in
regard to the still incomplete Commercial Treaty
has been the constant iteration by its negotiators
of the assurance—that, if people would only wait
patiently, they 'should see what they should see !
And so forth with these and like empty phrases of
ambiguity.

And-meanwhile—time going on—Nice and Savoy
have been absorbed into the French empire—the
Nizzards and Savoyards have been visited by the
French EmPEltOß—the English Parliament has
been prorogued the Lords and Commons have
been dispersed—and we are as wise as ever in regard
to this vaunted Commercial Treaty. 111 r. COBDEN
is till carefully hiding his light under a bushel

there in Paris. The silence still remains unbroken
by a word of comprehensible explanation. Eng-
land is still left altogether in the dark as to any
good that can be reasonably expected yet to come
of it all through this wonderfully consistent Free
Trader's mysterious negotiation of a treaty of left-
handed Reciprocity !

We can't help recollecting another series of com-
mercial arrangements entered into between Eng-
land and France now upwards of seventy years ago
—as far back as the year 1787—namely, upon the
eve of the great French Revolution. And remem-
bering those mercantile dallyings between France
and England, we cannot but recal to mind the words
in :which Mr. BURKE commented upon the then
newly-contrived reciprocity treaty, negotiated at
Mr. PITT'S instigation. " The right hon. gentler
man," said Mr. BURKE, " had talked of the treaty
as if it were the affair of two little counting houses,
and not of two great countries. He seemed to con-
sider it a contention between the sign of the Fleur-
de-lis and the sign of the Red Lion, which house
should obtain the best custom." That certainly
appears to be the one sordid ambition of our new
advocate of reciprocity. His negotiations are con-
ducted less with an eye to anything like enlarged
statesmanship, than with a view to the completion
merely of a petty mercantile transaction. Don't
we recollect the exclamation uttered in the House
of Commons, in the very nick of time, by Mr.
COBDEN'S Fides Achates, the member for Birming-
ham ? Don't we remember how Mr. BRIGHT
blurted the whole truth out, when he ejaculated,
" Perish Savoy !" Fain, seemingly, are these Man-
chester wiseacres to reverse, in the instance of
JOHN BULL, the mythical history of ULYSSES.
Fain are they to stuff the " Ancient Mariner's"
ears with cotton, so that he may not receive
warning from the voices either of breakers or
whirlpool, but may run the double hazard of
Scylla and Charybdis, deaf to those imminent
chances of peril and even of destruction. In the
scornful phraseology of Mr. BURKE, it is to Mr.
COBDEN and to Mr. BRIGHT absolutely merely as
a contention between the sign of the Red Lion and
the sign of the Fleur-de-lis.

By the death of Major-General Sir Michael
Creagh the following promotions will take place :—Colonel
Hastings Doyle, Inspector-General of Militia in Ireland, to
be Major-General ; Lieut.-Colonel Pattle, King's Dragoon
Guards, commanding the cavalry attached to the China
Expedition, to be Colonel; and Major John Henderson,
16th Regiment, to be Lieut.-Colonel in the Army,—Army
and Navy Gazette.
The command of the cavalry depot at Maidstone,
shortly to become vacant by the promotion of Colonel Bal-
ders, will be filled, as we intimated some time since, by the
transfer of Colonel Hope Gibsone from Canterbury. Col.
Gibsone will be succeeded in the command of the cavalry
depot at Canterbury by Colonel Charles Hagart, C. 8., late
of the 7th Hussars.—Army and Navy Gazette.
We regret to have to state that cholera of a some-
what malignant character, has appeared amongst the troops
at Gibraltar. The dreadful disease has for some time
existed amongst the :civil population in Spain, and gra-
dually 'extended first to Algesiras, from thence to the
Spanish lines, and subsequently to Gibraltar. On the 16th
of August, about four days after the first appearance of the
disease amongst the civil population, a soldier of the 2d
battalion, Bth Regiment, was attacked ; and since that time
up to the 12th of September twenty-five cases have oc-
curred, fourteen of which proved fatal. The wife of a
Sapper has also died, and two children of the Bth Foot.
Every precaution that sanitary science could suggest to
prevent the further spread of the epidemic has been adopted
by Sir William Codrington, on the advice of the principal
medical officer, Dr. Paynter.—Army and Navy Gazette.
THE WEATHER AND HARVEST.--Sinee our last
(remarks the North British Agriculturist) the weather
has been favourable, little rain having fallen. In Edin-
burgh the amount for the month to the present date is
only half an inch. On the west coast, however, there have
been several days of almost continuous rain, which has
retarded harvest operations. On the east coast cutting has
proceeded with very little interruption, and on many early
farms cutting of the cereal crops is completed. In one or
two cases the whole crop is already secured in the barn-
yard. As the harvest operations advance, the
general opinion is that the crop is unusually
bulky, and on the whole will be above an ave-
rage as to the produce of grain. The only drawback is oc-
casional fields of wheat which will not come up to an ave-
rage, the fields having been thinned of plants during winter.
The potato crop still continues highly promising, and the
tubers in the early planted fields are nearly matured. The
demand to purchase by the acre is very active, and prices
have advanced. In some exceptional cases, turnips are
attacked by a fly which is raidly consuming the leaves.
This will necessarily check the growth of the bulbs, and
lower their feeding qualities. As yet, the damage done is
limited, and with the occurrence of cold weather the fly
will disappear.
The Swedish and Norwegian Minister and Coun-
tess Platen returned to town on Thursday after an absence
of a few weeks spent in visiting the Duke and Duchess of
Northumberland at Alnwick Castle, and Mr. D. Carnegie,
of Stronwar, Perthshire.
MR. COBDEN AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—The fol-
lowing letter from Mr. Cobden, M.P., has just been recoivid
by Mr. A. Stewart, of Rochdale :—" Paris, Sept. 17, 1860,
—Dear Sir,—l am obliged by your note inviting me, on
behalf of the general committee of the Roohdale Reform
Association, to visit my constituents, on my return to Eng-
land, before attending any public meeting. I have under-
taken to present myself at Guildhall, to acknowledge the
presentation of the freedom of the city of London ; but, be-
yond this, I will enter into no public engagement until I
have had the opportunity of attending a meeting at Roch-
dale. I see no prospect of completing my task here until
the end of next month.—l remain, dear sir, very truly
yours, RICHARD COBDEN.—A. Stewart, Esq."
CHRIST'S HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday being St. Mat.
thew's day, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, con-
formably with ancient usage, went in state to the famous
seminary of Christ'slllospial, at which some 700 boys are
now being educated, to hear the orations delivered by the
senior scholars who are about to proceed to the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge. The ceremony was preceded by
Divine service in Christ Church, Newgate-street, at which
the Rev. Michael Gibbs, M.A., the vicar, read prayers, and
an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. John D.
Williams, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, formerly a
Grecian of Christ's Hospital, and now Head Master of
Christ's College School, Brecon. At the conclusion of the
service the civic dignitaries and governors of the hospital—
among whom, besides the Lord Mayor, were the Sheriffs
Phillips and Gabriel, Alderman Sir F. G.Moon,Deputy Holt,
Deputy Lott, and Mr. William Gilpin, treasurer of the in-
stitution, proceeded to the great hall, where a numerous
company had already assembled, accompanied by the Rev.
Dr. Jacob, the Upper Grammar Master, Mr. Chapman, the
first French Master, and the rest of the teachers. Orations
laudatory of the founder, King Ed ward VI., and of the
benefits conferred by the Royal hospitals, were then recited
—in Latin by Charles Victor Merriman, Third Grecian,
Exhibitioner of the Queen's College, Cambridge ; in Eng-
lish, by the same student, as locum tenens cf John Webb
Hickson, First Grecian, about to proceed to 'Worcester
College, Oxford; in Greek, by Ebenezer Morris, Fourth
Grecian, who is proceeding to Trinity College, Cambridge;
and in French, by Arthur Fenning Millett, Second
Grecian, Montefiore prizeman of the present year, and Ex-
hibitioner of Trinity Hall, Cambridge. To the English
oration rather a sorrowful interest was given by the circum-
stance that it was the composition of one whom illness pre-
vented being present to deliver it. The French oration of
Mr. Millett was a very spirited performance, both in matter
and manner, and was greatly applauded.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE MILITIA BALLOT AT
Wn.ExitAm.—Steps are now being taken for the enforce-
ment at Wrexham of the Militia Ballot Act, passed in the
last session of Parliament. Notices are being issued by the
overseers of the poor to every householder, requiring them
to supply a list in writing of the Christian and surname of
every man residing in his dwelling-house, between the
ages of 18 and 30, distinguishing all who claim to be
exempt from serving in the militia, and the ground for
such exemption, within five days from the issue of the no-
tice, under a penalty, if neglected, of 45.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Great sensation was created
in the Grove-road, Mile-end, yesterday, by a fatal accident.
Since the murder of Mrs. Emsley the house has been in
charge of the police, and for the last month has been occu-
pied by a constable named Watson, 180 K, with his wife
and family. About 11 o'clock in the forenoon, a boy about
four years of age, son of the officer, fell out of the staircase
window, and was killed on the spot.
CAPTURE OF THE ROBBER OF £4,000 WORTH
or JEWELLERY.—In formation has been telegraphed to Mr.
Webb, inspector of the C division, at the Vine-street police-
station, to the effect that the lad Giles, in the employ of
Mr. Hendsey (late Hawley), jeweller, of 123, Regent-street,
was in custody in Paris. He will,therefore, in due course,
be brought before the magistrate in London. It is said
that the whole of the valuable property, for which a reward
of £5OO was offered, has been recovered.

THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.--Yes-
terday, at the sitting of the county magistrates at Roches •
ter, Robert Brettle, who fought Mace for the championship,
Harry Crutchley, Daniel Crutchley, and Richard Long_
more, were placed at the bar charged with tumultuously
assembling, with other disorderly persons, in the parish of
Allhallows, near Yantlet Creek, to disturb the peace, and
resisting and assaulting the police in the execution of their
duty. The Chairman said the bench considered that the
evidenc,3 failed to establish anything against Brettle, and
he would be discharged. With respect to the other three
defendants the case was different, and they would be re-
manded for a week, on putting in bail and entering into
their own sureties.
A piscatory sportsman, some time ago, while in
a shop in Edzell, observed hanging up what he imagined
was a hand bag net, and, after examining the article,
thought it admirably suited for his purpose, and accord-
ingly asked the cost, remarking that such an article would
be convenient in catching trout. His astonishment was
great when he was informed that it was a lady's crinoline 1

LATEST NEWS

The following telegrams have been received a'
Mr. Reuter's office :

VIENNA, SATURDAY,

In yesterday's sitting of the Reichsrath the com-
mittee presented its report on the state of the
finances, which it declares to be most unfavour-
able.

The committee also pronounces itself against the
proposed conversion of interests. M. von Plener,
Minister of Finance, stated that the account given
by the committee of the state of the finances was
exaggerated. The Minister, however, acknow-
ledged the necessity for a change in the system.
M. Maager said that the question of currency could
only be solved by the creation of proper institutions.
Count Rechberg, the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
declared that the Ministry was not authorised to
follow the discussion on that ground. Count Clam
Martinez, the reporter of the committee, denied
that the committee had taken too gloomy a view of
matters, and claimed a change of the system which
had been followed up to the present time.
The report of the committee was in the end
unanimously adopted. •

COBLENTZ, SATURDAY,

According to reliable information, Baron von
Schleinitz will have a conference at this place, on
the 9th October, with Lord John Russell, who is to
accompany her Majesty Queen Victoria.

PARIS, SATURDAY.
The Moniteur of to-day publishes the following
telegram, dated Perpignan, 21st Sept., evening :
"Their Majesties have just disembarked at this
port. Their passage had been protracted by rough
weather. Their Majesties will arrive to-morrow
evening at St. Cloud."

The Moniteur also publishes the text of the
speech of the Emperor at Algiers. The Emperor
said :—" My attention has been solely devoted to
forward the interests of Algeria, over which colony
Providence has called us to diffuse all the benefits of
civilisation." The Emperor concluded by saying:
—" Peace prevailing in Europe will permit France
to display still more generosity towards her
colonies."

The Constitutionnel says :—" The Chevalier de
Nigra, the Sardinian Ambassador, has left Paris.
A secretary will remain to conduct the business of
the legation."

NAPLES, SEPT. 18 ((via Genoa

It is said that Garibaldians have disembarked at
the mouth of the Garigliano and intercepted the
communications of the royal troops, between Capua
and Gaeta.

It is expected that Garibaldi on his return will
operate against Capua. He has been to Palermo,
and on the 17th instant published a freSh procla-
mation to the Palermitans, repeating that he will

only proclaim at Rome the constitution of the Ita-
lian kingdom, and that he will not accomplish the
annexation at present.

No ministerial change has taken place at Naples,

TRIESTE, SEPT. 21

The Austrian war steamers in the Neapolitan
waters have been ordered to return to Trieste, as the
Austrian Government, on account of the offer made
by the King of Naples to Garibaldi to join him with
an auxiliary corps against Venetia, can no longer
offer hospitality to his Majesty.
