pS5- The official london Gazette publishes

Ba5~ The official London Gazette publishes
an important correspondence between Mr..
Adams and Earl Russell concerning the
depredations committed by the Shenandoah.
the United States will hold Great Britain
responsible for all the damages caused by
these Anglo-Rebel cruisers. Earl Russell,
as in former replies, insists that England
has not violated any international law, and,
therefore, is not responsible for the Rebel
cruisers, In second letter, Earl Russell
mentions statement made in letter from
Mr. Adams in April, 1868, as to the Govern
ment of the United States being ready to
refer these disputes to arbitration, and he
declines to accept:t this offer The only con-
cession Earl Russell is willing to make is
the appointment of Commission to which
shall be referred all claims arising during
the late civil war, which the two powers
shall agree to refer to the Commissioners.
The final reply of Mr.. Adams, dated Sep
tember Is, is very serious in its tone, and
expresses the opinion that the proposal of
Earl Russell will not be accepted by the
United States. Mr. Adams, in this last re-
ply, again calls the attention of the English
Government to the fact that if its doctrines
and practices are allowed to become the
rule, the United States will not be the great
est losers. The London papers which ed
itorially refer to the correspondence speak
of the Importance of the international ques-
tions to be settled in this dispute, but do
not appear to expect any serious complica-
tions between the two countries to arise
therefrom.

FENIAN LopGEs have been organized in

Irish loan are made to enormous extent.
Whatever may be said of the policy OF
these organizations, there can be PC denial
of their strength, enthusiasm and detefmip-
alton What is greatly in their favor, they
have the sympathy and support of those
who were ready to peIi. thsir own lives in

And what is to the disadvantage of Great

A CONVERSATION WITH PRESIDENT
JOHNSON.
BEDFoRp, Mass, Oct. 5, 1865.

BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. g. 1865
Ny DEAR SIR: | was so much impressed
with our conversation of last Tuesday that
l returned Immediately to my room and
wrote down such of the points made as
could remember, and having pondered them
all the way home, am to-day, more than
ever, convinced that, if corrected by you
and returned to me for either public or pri-
yate use, it will go far to promote good
understanding between you and our lead
ing men.
1t will also unite the public mind in favor
of your plan, so far at least as you would
carry it out without modification.
You are aware that | do not associate
much with men in political life, but rather
with those who, representing the advanced
moral sense of the country, earnestly labor
for the good of our people, without hope of,
or even desire for Office or other immediate
reward The latter class desire earnestly
to understand your plans, and, if possible,
support your adminiutration.
think the publication of your process of
reconstruction, with the reasons for your
faith in it, will commend itself to their can
did Judgment and, as | told you, inspire
our whole Northern people with confidence
in your administration.
The report is meager and unsatisfactory,
but think it conveys. for the most part,
the spirit of our conversation. Therefore,
although the whole tenor of your words led
me to believe it was not intended to be
kept private, have refrained from answer
ing the specific inquiries OF anxious friends,
whom l met on my way home, lest might,
in some way, leave wong impression on
their minds. Truly your friend,
GEORGE L. STEARNs.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.

We print elsewhere the report of con-
versation had between the President of the
United States and Maj. George l.. Stearns,
of massachusetts The conversation, as will
be seen, was elected by the suggestion that
the Democratic party claimed Mr.. Johnson
as still being of the faith of its leaders, and
that he sympathized with their efforts for
success. To this remark, the President in
reply, conveys gentle rebuke to such dem
agogues as Jerry Black, by declaring that
he (the President) is far in advance Of the
leaders of the Democratic party, and that
the only way to effect a union between him
self and that party, was the Democrats
coming up to his standard of right, which
really means that the Democracy must re-
nounce all their present advocated dogmas
before they dare hope to be recognized as
| right The President then reenunciated
his doctrine that, notwithstanding the SO,
called secession of certain States they were
never ont of the Union, but that by their re-
| bellious course they had forfeited their civil
| government, to reconstruct the machinery
of which as soon as practicable he considers
the chief duty Of the time. This he says,
cannot be done in a moment but such
great and happy progress is being made in
it that the results sometimes appear to him
| like 4 dream. He did not expect to forever
| deprive of their former civil rights even a
majority Of those who were excluded in the
amnesty proclamation but he intended
that they should sue for pardon, and thus
realize the enormity Of their crime. He is
in favor of allowing those negroes who
have served in the army, those who car
read and write, and those who are possessed
of certain other qualifications, to vote, bu
does not think it is polite or thlt he ha:
the right to force these conditions on the
white people of the South, though he be
lieves that they will ere long concede this
privilege to the freedmen.
