New-York daily tribune., 1865-10-30

These are the days OF reconstruction, but the
most astonishing specimen Of the process is the
Reconstructed Coppcrhead. TIE "sarpint"
cuts most genteel figure in his new Union
skin. He hissos no longer at the General Coy
ernment-hc deIounces no longer the soldiers
of the Republic-he rails no longer at the Con-
scrip,ion, because there is no longer a Conscrip.
ton to rail at--he demonstrates no longer the
wickedness OF " coercion"-and altogether he is
a mighty pious and patriotic snake. But after
all he il like the eat turned into lady, in the
fairy tle-a beautiful young lady, only she
would kill and eat mice. The Reconstructed
Copperhead, like the Reconstructed Rebel, is
often betrayed into u lively reminiscence Of the
days of his wrath. He is for taking up tie
dead Rebellion tenderly-he is for amnesty and
oblivion, and forgiveness and for letting mob
of traitors into the House Of Representatives.
he snaps and snarls at the taxes, aud hints at
rpudiation-he is particularly of his guard
when he has anything to say Of the Freedmen,
and to the ob-eryant eye Of the public it is eyi-
dent that his Reconstruction will last until the
7th day of November next, and that at sunset
upon that day he will resume the old skin, the
old fangs aud the old sibilant song. Slocum
will be Slocum once more-Seymour will again
resume his hostility even TO the coercion of
roaring and aying mobs; aud rs for the Prince,
he will let the country go the devil while he
attends to his boot.msker, his banker and his
tailor.

ENGLISH OPINIONS on THE AMER
ICAE CEAiMs.

Every English paper that has an editorial
column feels, Of course, in duty bound to con-
tribute its share to the expression Of English
opinion on the American claims. That the i'm
mcnse majority Of the organs of England should
in this question agree will not surprise any one
Nor would it be fair to judge harshly of this
fact, for it is very doubtful whether, in similar
case, the press of any other country would
possess sufficient amount Of unbiased calmness
to decide disputed case against their own
Government and people.
We might, however, have expected that the
English papers would have taken into more
serious consideration the question, whether they
were fully prepared to abide by their opinions in
case in another war Eueland and the United
States should exchange the respective positions
of beigerent and neutral. They cannot be so
blind as not to see that in such an event England
il dcbarred from complaining Of any amount Of
hlp that q belligercnt may obtain against her
from citizens of the United States, so long as
the Government of the United States assures
her that they were unable TO prevent it; or
of the recognition by the United States of
any rebellion within the boundaries Of English
rule, if such rebellion appears to the Govern
ment Of the United States sufficiently powerful
A few papers only do not shrink from calmly
considering these consequences, and their
opinion of the late correspondence materially
differs from that Of the majority Of their ed-
toral brethren The following remarks of UM-
msr g. Smiths European Times appear to Us
very sensible:
