The Presidents Message on the Champion Case
WASHINGTON, May 29.--The Senate to-day passed
| all the Houses Public Land bills.
Both Houses received from the President message
announcing the dismissal of Mr. Champion, the Brit
ish Minister and the revocation Of the exequaturs of
the implicated Consuls, enclosing Secretary Marcy's
reply to Lord Clarendon, which expresses the graft
cation of the President at the conciliatory spirit
shown by Great Britain. Her disclaimer of any inten
ton to violate the laws of the United States and ex-
pressons of regret satisfactory to the President
and remove the main cause of complaint against the
British government. But the President regrets that
he cannot concur with Lord Clarendon in the opinion
| that Mr.. Champion and the Consuls at New York,
Philadelphia and Cincinnati are not implicated. He,
therefore, deems it just and proper that their relations
with this government should cease. In taking this
step, however, he does not intend to make any inter-
rupton in the diplomatic relations Of the two coun
tries but on the contrary he desires to keep them
the same friendly footing as heretofore.
The withdrawal of Champion and the Consus was
asked expressly account of their connection with
the enlistment business.
