TIE ALABAMA CLAIMS.


THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
LONDON, September 14-The Times has
lengthy editorial article on American affairs
this morning. The writer believes that MIR.
Johnson, the American Minister, has carte
blanche from his government to settle the Ala
bama cage. The case Of itself presents little
trouble. The only difficulty is the reluctance
Of the American Government to settle the diff
ficulty growing out Of war resentments. II
American statesmen ever believed that the Ala
bama escaped with the connivance OF Great
Britain there might be question Of inadequate
laws making England answerable, but this
could be easily settled. The real grievance
of the United States was the Indifference
of England in civil wars, and her viii
hngness to see the Union dissolved. or this
the Americans were conscious OF the time,
and remember keenly now. They think
we should have an active sympathy for the
North; that the Confederacy, based upon hu-
man slavery, should have been ct once con-
demned; that the Republican party was the
true friend of Eng and; that it was wrong for
men to doubt the success Of the Federal arms.
After all, the anger Of the Americans was due
to their consciousness Of sy npathy with Eng
lands want OF sympathy in their hour Of peril.
But anger, if right, has been enough indulged.
MIR. Seward had refused handsome offer OF
amity which should be credited TO England.
he now cuts the past sdrift and the thing is as
good as settled. Legal points will not stand
in the way. The only thing to ascertain is the
responsibility OF England, and to fix the prop
er indemnity. p
