The London Tines has an editorial on
the letter OF Secretary Seward in reply to
Lord Wharnclitie's application te distrib-
ute aid to rebel prisoners. 1t says that il
Is no slight testimony TO the course taken
by Her M1jestys Government in it's deal
ings with America that Seward, with an
animus he can't conceal that he is driven
- make the most OF the opportunity offered
by Il person irresponsible AS a representa-
tive OF the British nation. His letter indi-
Gates that he is prepared to make the most
of the least o:icial slip that might be made
in this part of the British Cabinet or any
O. its representatives.
Mr.. Seward must be hard driven when
he finds Il necessary to express SO much in
dignat;on at so tritling an affair. The
T;,"es .tistfies the wisdom and good taste
of Lord Wharnciiffes offer, but reviles
Mr.. Stewards charge against the British
people, and concludes by saying that he
knows on every one Ofthe questions raised
by the existing war we are only moving in
the lines already laid down for ls by states
men. The conscience and public opinion
oftne United States were in the same cause
as they are, and whatever abuse Mr.. Sew
ard chooses to lavish on us simply recOils
on the heads OF his own people.
