Foreign News.

HALIFAX, January 9.-The following ad-
ditional news came by the Canada:
Further diplomatic correspondence has
taken place between Mr.. Adams and the
British Foreign Secretary, respecting the
Shenandoah or Sea King, under date of
November q. Mr.. Adams says he is in
structed to state that the proposition of Her
Majesty's Government, for creating joint
commission, is respectfully declined.
On December "a Earl Clarendon in writ
ing to Mr.. Adams, says that Her Majesty's
Government consider that no advantage can
be gained from prolonging the controversy
on topics which are fully exhausted, but
which, if continued, might possibly intro
duce acrimony in the relations of Eng
land and United States. Earl Clarendon
perists, however, in asserting that England
has never deviated from her duties as neu-
trail Power, and declares that her Majesty's
Government, and the people of England,
desire close friendship with the United
States. Virtually, this correspondence
leaves the question Of American claims on
England in suspense.
The steamer hex, belonging to Cork, was
wrecked near that port, and about twenty
lives were lost
The Times has an editorial on Secretary
MeCulloch's report, which it says is siBgu-

The trial Of Callayhan Holmes 0'Reardon,

The returns of the Bank of France show
an increase in bullion Of over thirteen and
a half millions.
1t is confirmed that the French govern
ment resolves to withdraw from the extra
dition treaty with England. The treaty
expires in June next.
A Paris telegram says the report of the
Finance Minister was expected to be issued
on the 23d. 1t states the year 1865 will
close with a positive equilibrium and prob
ably small excess, and that 1868 and 1867
in consequence of a reduction in expendi-
ture, will show an excess Of thirty million
francs to be carried to the sinking fund,
which fund will henceiorth be applied to
the reduction of the public debt.

XXXIXth Congress.

WASHINGTON, January 0.-The SPEAKER
appointed the following as a Select
Committee on a Military and Postal
Railway between Washington and New
York: Stevens of Pennsylvania, Gar
field of Ohio, Frances Of Maryland, Bran
dege of Connecticut, Starr of New Jersey,
Grinnell of Iowa, and Radford of New
York.
Mr.. WAsHBURNE, of Illinois, brought
to the attention of the House a Washington
letter written by Mr.. Baldwin, of Massachu-
setts, TO the latter's paper, the Worcester
Spy, saying the purpose of passing the bill
to facilitate commerce between the States
was to release the Illinois Central Railroad
from its obligations to carry mails &C., free
from charge in consideration of land grants.
Explanations followed from several gentle
men.
Mr.. BALDWIN maintained that such
was the legal construction of the bill, while
Washburne disclaimed any such intention.
Finally the Senate wBs requested to return
the bill, as it was passed under q misaPpre-
hension.
Mr.. VOORHEES,, Of Indiana, made a
speech in support of the restoration policy of
President johnson, combating the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, that
the Southern States destroyed themselves
by war.
Mr.. BINGHAM, of Ohio, replied to Mr..
Voorhees,, charaeterizing the latter's position
as similar to that which inspired conspir-
ators and sscessi0nists. -.
Mr.. BINGHAM also advocated equal and
exact justice to sall men of whatever race
and color, and offered substitute for the
resolution of Mr.. Voorhees,, declaring that
the House has abiding confidence in the
President, and that in the future as in the
past, he will co operate with Congress in re-
storing to equal positions and rights with
the other States in the Union all the States
lately in rebellion.
Mr.. STEVENS suggested that Mr.. Bing-
ham refer the resolution to the Select Com
mittee on Reconstruction. Agreed to, by
107 against 81.
Thus carrying Mr.. Voorhees, resolution
sustaining the President to the same Com
mittee. The House then adjourned.

clerks in the State Department. for an in

Senator ShermaR-Is he Progressive
2 II 6tatesman2

senator he Progressive
I II Statesman2 -~a
The partizans of Senator Sherman, com
PEELED by the publiostion of the record to
admit his pro-slsvery sentiments and votes
in times past argue that he is now edu-
Gated up to the proper standpoint, and
that in the future, if reelected to the SEN
ate, his vote would be recorded in favor of
freedom and progress. This might be true
if the questions heretofore discussed in the
Senate were again to come up for decision.
But such is not likely 70 be the case. In
1862 Senator, Sherman advocated the ac-
ceptarce of slaves into the military service
and their return to loyal masters after the
expiration of their term Of service. In
1864, after two years more of the educa-
aong of )war, Mr.. sherman advocated the
emancipation of such slaves. 1t will be
seen that three years of war with the
slave power was required to convince Mr..
Sherman Of the right of the nations de-
tenders to liberty. 1t is useless to say that
Senator Sherman is now right on this
question. 1t too late. The question is
one of the past-not of the present. His
record on it is useful only as serving to
show the political character and tenden-
eies of the man. In this manner it is
proper to Judge him in order to form a
correct estimate of his probable course in
the future. If he has been timid and
time-ssrying in the past, we may expect
the same of him in the future. Doubtless
he would now vote right on the old ques-
tions were they living issues but they
have ceased to agitate the nation. New
questions are now before Congress, and it
would certainly be unwise to knowingly
repeat the folly of sending to the Senate a
man requiring three years of the education
of war to convince him of the injustice Of
ehsIaying the defenders of the Govern
| ment. Mr.. Sherman cannot attribute his
action in this matter to the necessities OF
the time; he cannot truthfdlly say that II
would have been impolitic to do in 1862
what he found it polite to do in 1864
Mr.. Sherman's friends have said much Of
his financial abilities. Well, Mr.
Sherman in 1852 objected to emanci-
pating the slaves of loyal masters in con-
sideration of military service upon the
ground that such emancipation without
compensation would be unjust to the mas
ter, whilst compensation would be unjust
and oppressive to the government; that il
would, in his own language, "involye the
country in financial ruin2l In 1864 Mr.
Sherman advocated compensated emanci
patton in such cases saying: =" do no
athink it will take very much money t.
apay for such slaves" In 1862 be justi
fed the return of slaves upon mora
grounds, arguing that the slave would be NJ
