Attorney General Johnson has drawn up an opinion since
the difficulty with M Poassin occurred sustaining the
Secretary OF State in considering the case Of SAL
and the Secretary of State has published that opn-
ion part Of the official correspondence with the
French minister But that opinion avoids the real point
at issuethe detenonof the Eugeneand thereby justi
es the presumption that the Attorney General believes
that detention have been illegal and unauthorized II
he did not believe to have been illegal and unauthor-
lied, why did he avoid all mention OF III Why evade
the very issue which the French minister made Mr..
Attorney General could have made out the case to his
satisfaction, would he not have taken pleasure demon
satng that the right Of detention sustained by law
and by precedent Thus, in fact his defence of the
Secretary Of State becomes invalid and worthless be-
cause it is confined to question which was not in issue
between the government of the United States and that OF
France.
We trust that the administration press will take hold OF
the real Questions involved in the French negotiation
and not evade them after the manner OF Mr. Johnson, by
bringing forward irrelevant matters As we understand
the question Mr. Clayton has brought discredt upon
diplomacy. He has shown zeal in defending himself
which he did not manifest in maintaining the position OF
the government He treated the complaint of France
with dscouresy and then appealed 10 the French gov
eminent to do him justice in personal controversy
with the French minister Failing in that effort, he
dismissed the French minister, after having made
the French government party to the misunderstanding
and thus by bungng Encouragement Of mere personal
matter which sprung from no adquate cause, and
was commenced by his failure to do his duty to his
country, he has disturbed relations with friendly
people, and added to the general insecurity which had
already been occasoned by his OF conducting
foreign affairs The truth Isl the Secretary OF State can
do justice to his country by attending to his official
duties at leisure hours merely recreation from an
other employment II he is "chained down to single
spot from fourteen to sixteen hours day, aborng all
the while in distributing the spolls of victory ambitious
all the while to do something and eager to bring
discredit upon his predecessors, II necessarily follows
that he must bring dscred upon himself and confusion
into our relations with friendly powers

had not been absent than ten days before the dis

during the present autumn But, from the following an

the remainder Of the tour is indefinitely postponed:

This letter was furnished by Mr. Preston, we presume
in order TO sustain after the Of the ar post aec
opinion Of Mr. Johnson the conduct of the Secretary Of
State. Captain Stringham is mistaken in his assertion
that the French vessel abandoned by her commander
The statement of Commander Carpenter disproves that
assertion But perfectly willing to admit that the
letter above sets orha precedent which fully sustans the
claims for salvage by our naval officers. But unfortu.

of the Eugene. After stating the facts, Captain String
ham says We all received salvage at the rate Of 33i per
