EARL RUSSELL AND rRE BANCROFT M.
LO0Y


A communication from Hon. George Ban.
croft 70 Hon Mr.. washburne, of Illinois. was
read In the House yesterday, covering letter
from Earl Russell, denying certain Allegations
In Mr. Bancroft's eulogy Of President Lincoln.
Lord Russell's letter is addressed TO Minister
Adams, in which he refers to the following
passage in Mr. Bancroft's euloxy: =" The
Brittsh Secretary of State for Foreign AfYairs
made haste 70 send through the palaces of
Europe that the Great Republic was In agony
that the Republic was NO more, that head.
stone was all that remained due by the law OF
nations 10 the late Union.'' As words pro-
nounced on such an occasion, and by 10 emi.
nent man as Mr.. Bancroft. may have an
effect far beyond the injury which his personal
Mr: Adams 70 convey TO Mr.. Bancroft his de.
niai OF the truth OF the allegations, and to refer
him 70 facts Of a totally opposite character and
adds, In fact, have never had any doubt
that whether the United States consented to
separation or pursued the war TO extremity,
happily for the world, powerful and inde-
pendent Republic" He subloins an extract OF
his speech on the Goth Of May, 1851
Mr.. Bancroft, in reply, says the British Sec
patch TO Lord Lyons May 8, 1861, in which be
describes the condition Of America as 5" the
disruption of confederacy," and, further
used these words, 80 Civil war has broken out
between the several States Of the late Union
The Government Of the southern portion has
duly constituted itself Her Malesty's Gov.
ernment do not wish you to make any mvs-
terry Of that view" Mr.. Bancroft considers this
1rrefragibie proof Of his first allegation He
then refers TO dispatches OF Lord Russell TO
LORD Cowiey, at Paris, in which he designates
our Republic as . the States W which lately com.
posed the American Union" athe late United
States" These dispatches, Mr.. Bancroft con-
tends. proves his second allegation.

Mr. Stevens of Pa, addressed the House in
some brief remarks in support OF the action of
the Committee ON Reconstr ction, declaring
that the committee wanted only nineteen of
the loyal States TO ratify the proposed amend
ment, for he utterly scorned and repudiated
the idea that the views Of the States lately in
rebellion should be counted in the adoption Of
the amendment
MI. Blaine, of Me-, inqlired how the pro.
posed amendment would affect those who had
been pardoned.
Mr.. Stevens replied that the pardon wiped
out the crime and remtted the punishment
but there was q vast difference between pun.
lshlng and limiting the privilege Of voting
Mr.. Finck, Of Ohio, addressed the House
against the proposed amendment. and was

proyioes that the total liabilities to any ma

Of law restricted the Merchants Bank, whose

Mr.. Blaine contended in regard to this

which he had followed it to its logical conclu-
