The people of Peru, as usual at the close of
their frequent civil wars, intend to make one
of the leaders of the late successful revolution,
Col Balta, their next President. According TO
the account given of Col Balta by our Lima
correspondent, he is immensely popular, and
enjoys the reputation of being patriot of
sterling integrity. The future must show
whether the high expectations of the Peruvi-
ans with regard to Col. Balta will be realized.
We doubt very much whether any of these in
stigators of civil war will ever be a good
President. To close the era of revolutions and
open that of peaceful progress, Peru wants
President who in his own political life has
taught obedience to the laws of the country,

President pictects them. Commissioner collins
testified before the impeachment Committee,
some time ago, THAI millions had been lost TO
the country through Aodrew Johnson's refusal
20 execute the revenue laws The Re-
port before us declares that Mr.. john
son has had abundant evidence of che
flagrant misconduct of revenue officers, that he
has been urged TO remove them, but he stands
" like adamant TO protect bis friends Ill ONCE,
"and the Commissioner and Secretary are pow
"less.r Instances are cited in which friends
of the Administration are accommodated with
commissions for thirty days as whisky IN
spectors in Eew-York! A very gross case OF
corruption Is reported, which occurred in thus
city; the evidence was laid before the Execu-
tive. but no action has ever been taken upon
If. In the Autumn of 1866, says Mr.. Van
WICK. "sOme friends Of the President from
Washington called on collectors and assessors,
requesting from each contribution OF $4,000,
"Uhen il was known that the annual salary OF
"each, If honest, did not much exceed that
"sum. Was not that an intimation that an
" attempt on their part to obtain more than
"the legal salary would not be severely criti-
"ciscd at headquarters y Mr.. johnson pre-
tends that the Tenure of Civil Office law pre-
vents his making removals. No; it only re-
quires that he shall make them with the con-
sent of tho Senate Does anybody suppose
that the consent of the Senate would be with
hclds Did any such scruples bar his action
when he wanted to remove Dir. StantonY BE-
sides. the whisky frauds are a great deal older
than the Tenure of Office law. When the
power Of removal was exercised by tho
President alone, it was never en-
forced against these revenue plunderers; on the
contrary, good men were turned out that the
thieves might be put in. Mr. Van Wyeks re-
mort is tho most severe blow which Andrew
Johnson's reputation has ever receivcd-except
from Andrew johnson himself. 1t shows that
we need not expect faithful collection OF the
revenue so long as he remains Chief Executive.
II adds another 70 the already Oyerpowering
arguments for his removal. That is the prin-
cipal remedy and Congress is already applying
it. There arc recommendations of Mr.. Van
Wycks in addition which deserve to be care
fully considered. He advises that the system
of collection shall be simpifed by the aboh-
ton of bonded warehouses, aud the consequent
discharge of an amy of rapacious officials. and
that the tax shall be reduced to fifty cents per
gallon. and be collected at the still, estimating

tined to be o rival and check Of tho United
States. This nationality, he says, has already
boon formed It is steadily charging, and
cSpnot be confined within its present limits.
II possesses an irresistible force of expansion,
and is destined to take in immigrants from all
parts of the globe. Mr.. Papineau does not ex-
pressly mention annexation to the United
States as his political platform, but he does
not conceal that, in his opinion, the triumph OF
American over British institutions, and then
the coalescing Of British America with the
one great North American nationality, is the
glorious destiny of all parts Of British America.
The population of British North America is
rapidly increasing. 1t was about three and
half millions according to the census of 1851,
and it has been computed that, if the rate of
increase is as rapid for the next hundred
years as it has been for the past decade,
the total population would be, in 80 years,
over 100000, and in hundred years. 1O9,-
100000. With the steady increase in pop'lia-
ton, wealth, and power, we expect CORE
spending increase in the number of those VINO
deem republican self-governmcnt to be more
appropriate condition of a great nation than
to remain a dependency of foreign mon
archy and aristocracy. With Mr. Papineau,
we hope for the rapid growth and ultimate
success of the American Republican party ia

1oRD srtYLEr ON THE 1LdB4NA CLAIMS.

LORD ST1ELEY ON THE 1LdB1NA CLAIMS
The full report of the speech of Lord stan
ley on the Alabama claims, which we publish
elsewhere, must satisfy every American reader
that Mr. JohnSOn's administration viii find 1t
impossible TO retrieve the errors Of its home
policy Ivy q war with England on this ques-
ton. Lord Stanley opens by repeating the ar
guments heretofore adduced, why the question
of the right of England Go recognize the Rebels
as belligerents at the time size did ought not
TO be submitted TO arbitration. The American
Government. through its President and Secre-
tary of State, treated the rebellion as "ciy'l
:" war" and tho Rebels "a beligerents before
the Queens proclamation of neutrality was
issued. If it were conceded, Therefore, that the
proclamation of neutrality was issued too early,
il would in no way affect the Alabama claims,
since q year before the Alabama sailed the re-
bcIIion had ndisputahy become civil war.
and A proclamation Of nc atty would have
been proyer then, If not Watl u was actually
issued Admitting we vcre premature" asks
Lord Stanley, "does that in any way affect
"your claim9o He then, in a spirit Of commend
able frankness, admits that, under any reference
which may be proposed by the British Govern

" arc very likely to make out their case and to
Z" get their money! This is the vital point, for
Il involves the admission that the British Gov
ernment did not fulfill its obligations a, q
neutral power. and hence that 1t has rendered
itself morally and legally liable for the depre-
dations end damages committed by all the
Rebel cruisers fitted out in British ports. This
CONVEYS with il the admission that the British
Government did not DO its duty toward u.s.
during the Rebellion "a became nation
claiming to be guided by honor and by prin-
chile. Lord Stanley. after politely admitting
al this, attempt, 70 soothe the pride OF The
British people 10y affirming that We asked
moral sympathy, and would not have been
content with neutrality. II conceding that We
did not get neutrality az tie hands OF the
British Government, but that, 10y their lax and
inefficient pretense of neutrality, they did in
reality lend their active aid and sympathy 20
The Rebellion, Lord Stanley shows how idle
and Irrelevant arc oil charges that we asked
too much. In short, with some diplomatic
efforts az saving his pride, in effect Lord stan
ley procaims that Great Britain has incurred
an obligation 20 consume a very large dose OF
"humble pie" and its jaws arc now distended
| ready 60 comply with tie obligation. 1t has
also incurred a bill of pccuniary damages, and
after duo contest, prevaricatioD, and rigmaro!e,
il purposes to foot the bill. SO, in eject. says
, Lord Stanley, aud We do not see thai he
could DO reasonably asked 70 say more
