THE PORTpGAL CASE.

We have heard much Of late In the English
papers and In the correspondence between
Earl Russell and Minister Adams, about the
Portugal case, as precedent relied upon by
the British Government to establish the iu-
validity Of our Claims arising ont Of the dep-
relations of the Alabama. In the year 1914
u rebe1lious chief Of some part OF Spanish
America, mined Artigas. declared war, after
his fashion, against Brazil and Portugal. He
induced some reckless advcnturcrs in Balti-
more 10 1T out several vessels at that port,
which, sailing under his fag, captured mum.
Ter Of Portuguese merchantmen. The gov
ernmcut Of Portugal presented to the Govern
mcnt of the Gniied States e1aln for the
value Of the property thus taken from lis
citizens. In some instances the prizes cap.
tured by the prirateers Of Artigas werc
brought into our ports, and DEGREES Of 1estI-
tuition wcsc pronounced In MI the cases. The
utmost vigilance md perseverance, werc cxe1-
cifed by our Government TO prevent the
fitting out of the privalcers and TO punish
those who had been engaged In the piratical
pursuit.
When the claims were pressed by Portugal
Mr. John Quincy Adams, Secretary OF State,
in letter to the Portuguese Minister, dated
March "A, 1878, said:
"1he Government OF the United States, h,y1pe
used Ill the mems in lse power to prevent The d.
ting out md airing Of vessels IN thclr pots TO
cruise a:ainet auy nation with WHOM they arc at
pence, and hastnc faithfully carried into execution
and pacrc obligations Of the Union, canpo. consid.

which may bc duly proved and to restore the pro
pe1ty to Its rightfu1 owners should it also be
brought within onr Jurisdiction. and foHnd upon
judicial inquiry to hare been taken IN the manner
Represented b. your leuer."
In reply to this citntion from his own faith
er, Mr.. Charles Francis Adams replies in ef-
feet that the President at once took steps TO
obtain from Congress more stringent powers,
and among those so obtained were provisions
for stopping vessels going out with arms to
be transferred to privateer on the high seas,
and also powers to the collectors at the varf-
ous ports, 10 detafn suspected vessels until
an investigation had been made. These pro-
visions, Nr. Adams pointed out, might have
been effected to prevent the sailing Of the Al
ALBANIA and Shenandoah; Int they are not em-
bodied In The British statute. How, then, he
contends, can England appeal to the express
sions or reasonings Of an American Secretary
Of State IN reply to Portugal, when she not
only did not do for America what America
did for Portugal, in making this law moro

SLAVERY AND WAGES.

The workfngmen Of the country organize
TFndcs' Unions on the theory that the price OF
laborin any one place affects the price of labor
In every other that working man cannot
have his wages cut down ten cents per day IN
Cincinnati without ultimately affecting the
price Of Labor IN Chicago. On this fact the
Detroit Tribune bases the following pertinent
remarks:
may be considered person compelled 10 labor iof
haf or tno thirds the wages that free labofers WonId

The result has proved the correctness Of the
point for the abolition Of slavery has made
labor dearcr at the South than before; and
hence many colored 1aborcrs who recently
worked in Chicago have left for Louisville,
Nashville and, St. Louis, thereby reducing
competition and raising wages at the North.

OUR COUNTY, CAmPAlGr.

The Increment to disosganizc the Rcoublf-
can party under the plea OF electing soldiers
10 Office In Chicago. was not without elements
which at the first blush entitled 1t 10 sym.
pathy. Had vote been taken on tne i1av
after tho nomination, It would have polled a
very large votc-possibly majority-but
each successive day has thInned the numbers
OF Its supporters, by making known more
clearly the necessary affliatiou and unity of
purpose between the bo1tcrs and the Copper.
heads. The fiery and injndiclous advocacy Of
the boilers ticket by the Chicago Times. FOL
lowed by the action Of the Copperhead Con-
vent1on IN adjonfning without nominations,
which was equivalent to a nomination br
them Of the soldiers ticket, seemed 10 po,nt
out thai Whoever might havc been the fathers
Of The movement, It's step-fathers would be
Wilbur F. Storey and his adjutants,
Willard md Cameron. However 1audablc
the purposes for which it was lnaugurased, it
must be elected, If Mt all, hy Copperhead
votes, and hence must be controlled ty Con.
perhead influences This would defeat and
d,so1ganize the Republican party in Cook
county, would he stnuts" to the sham Dem
ocracy, and would place It ont of orr power
10 do justice either to the people or to thc
soldiers for several campaigns. Hence, all
true Republicans saw in the movement an In.
sidious and trcachcrous effort Of Coppe.lead-
Ism to protract lis existence md rule in this
city. The candidates dropped off the ticket
as rapidly us the rcputed English holders of
ths rebel bends denied their connection with
the rebel loan. We believe still others will
prefer IN honorable resignation TO being
