Commons.
In another place in this days HERALD we
publish cable despatch giving a somewhat de-
tailed account of the debate which took place
In the House Of Commons on the evening OF
the 9Th instant on the question of the Alabama
claims. The speeches, one and all, breathe
spirit of Cancellation. There is, it is no longer
to be doubted an anxious desire on the part of
the British people to have this question finally
and, If at all possible, amicably disposed Of
The friends of America, it will be seen from
the outlines which we give of the speeches,
were open -mouthed and fearless in their advo-
cacy of our rights. Mr.. Lefevre Mr. Forster
and Mr.. Mill unquestionably gave expression
to the popular mind on the subject. Lord
Stanley and Mr.. Gladstone, naturally enough,
defended the position which had been taken by
the government; but the speeches of both
were mild and conciliatory in the extreme.
Neither the one nor the other despaired Of an
amicable settlement. Lord Stanley still insists
that the right of Great Britain to recognize the
belligerent rights Of the South is one which
cannot be brought before any commission or
any arbiter. On all other questions the Queen
is prepared to arbitrate. We see no good rea-
son why this one difference between Lord
Stanley and Mr.. Seward should effectually bar
further negotiations. An umpire or mixed
commission, one or other, is clearly foreshad-
owed by the debate. What the decision will
be we know not but we cannot resist the con-
viction that England's simplest and safest
course would be to pay down the money at
once

The Proposed Grand Charity Fair In New


We have already referred to the proposed 'National
Fair to be held in this city in April to aid In pro-
viding homes for the destitute widows and mothers
of soldiers who fell in the war. 1t is noble object
and ought to receive encouragement from every one
There is person of right feeling that will not say
GOdspeed to the charitable undertaking. Look
ing at the array Of names Of ladies and
gentlemen attached to the appeal which
has been circulated and at the wealth they
represent, we should suppose very large sum will
be realized from the contributions and exertions OF
such distinguished individuals. But while we hope
this highly worthy scheme will be carried out and be
very successful we beg to call the attention
Of these benevolent and wealthy ladies and
New York at the present time. The Society for
Improving the Condition OF the Poor reports tenfod
more dcstitutiOn than 1t can possibly relieve
with the limited contributions 1t Is receiving,
and 1t Is the same with the Commissioners Of
Charities. The very severe winter and want OF EN-
ployment have caused an appalling amount OF want
and suffering Silent charity is not so attractive or
popular with many rich people as those charities
are which bazon forth their names in circulars or
through the press, but the truly charitable will give
freely whether their gifts be known or not. None
can fail to see the destitution that exists
unless they wilfully shut their eyes, for
other day one OF those poor little Italian
child minstres whom we see almost at every corner
was found dead-dead with cold and starvation-at
the steps Of Nnh avenue mansion. Surely, some
thing should be done by the rich and by the author
ties prevent these childgen-these little homeless
and riendless outcasts-om perishing in the streets
But there thousands Of others Of all nationalities
and even Americans, who are in starving condition.
Let not our charity be SO far-reaching therefore,
as to overreach the destitution that actually ex-
lists all around u.s. While we get up fairs
for the widows and mothers Of our soldiers and
acquire eclat before the public for doing So let
silent charities save those who are now perishng
in our midst. Who among that long list OF ladies
and gentlemen, representing millions upon milNons
OF wealth, will lead or in subscription for reliev-
ing the present appalling distresss And who will
followf Let the present necessity be attended to
first and then provide for the future.
