THE ALABAMA CLAIM--EE GIIsH
VIEWS

The we'll known Historieus' has writ
ten another long letter TO the London
Times on the Alabama claims, in which lac
attempts TO dispose of Mr.. Stewards asser-
ton that the British proclamation of MAY
l3, 1861, declaring neutrality in the
American war, was unjustifable, and had
the effect Of Transforming a local insnr-
rection" into a fragrant civil war"
Historicus," reminds the world that, nine
days prior 20 the Issue. of Her Msiesty's
proclamation, Mr.. Seward had written in
these terms TO Mr.. Dayton, the American
Minister in Paris: The insurgents have
instituted a revolution with open, fragrant,
deadly war, to compel the United States to
acquiesce in the dismemberment Of the
Union. The United States have accepted
this civil war az an inevitable necessity"
Historicus" supports the view of Lord
Stanley, which he says is also that of
the most eminent American iurists. He
contends that Mr.. Stewards design OF
mixing mp the question of the recognition
Of helligerent rights with the claims in the
case ofthe Alabama is singulsrly absurd,
aud points ont that off the government of
the United States quarrel with MS on this
point, it can only be because they are de-
termined in any way 10 quarrel with MS"
and he concludes by asserting that " if We
are clearly in the right, il lie our duty to
sustain that like men, and that In
great canse timiditY is not the path that
leads TO peace"
The London Globe remarks:
Mr.. Seward actually claims compenaa-
ton from England fortranslorming local
insurrection" into fragrant civil war, in
the face Of his own confession that nine
da, before her Maiesty's proclamation
was issued, the United States had accepted
the civil war as an inevitable necessity.
Alter this, who can wonder that Lord Stan
lev deems il useless 10 continue the cOrres-
pondence +"
The London Times of 2lst ult examines
With great care the serious aspect Of the
Alabama question, both from British
and American point of view, and finally
considers, whether reasonable or unreasOn-
able, an unconditional resort 10 arbitration
should be accepted BY Great Britain.
Making allowances for the pressure OF
Political eLigencies, especially at the pres
ent crisis Of American politics, and also
for various other circumstances, the Times
oounsels the utmost patience and forbeaT-
ance on the part Of the British government,
but is not prepared to counsel submission,
where submission, instead of promoting
reconciliation, could only lower England
IN the eyes Ct the American nation.

The Recommendation Committee. etc

New YORK, Feb. S.-A Washington
special says the Reconstruction Committee
had very stormy session to-day. Repre-
sentatives Stevens and Boutwell, urged the
adoption of the resolution for the impeach-
ment and removal of the President, but
the committee finally referred the Presi-
dents letters and those Of Gen. Grant to a
subcommittee, composed of Messrs Bing-
ham, Boutwell, and Beck, with authority to
investigate and report on the impeach-
ment question. The opinion of a leading
member is that the President has rendered
himself liable TO indictment for conspiracy.
The committee adopted bill removing
the political disability from Governors
Orr and Holden and Gen. Longstreet. Mr..
Brooks moved to include Gen. Beauregard,
but the committee refused.
The new commissioners of whisky meters
are Lieut.. Green, of the Navy Gen. Poe,
of the Light House Board; John White,
of Buffalo; VIM. E. Gurley, of Troy /;

THE CORRUPTTON OF CONGRESS.

1
"Mack," of the Cincinnati Commercial,
does not entertain very high opinion Of
the incorrnptibility of Congress-. In his
letter of the 4ih inst he makes the follow
ing statement:
After long threatening, the President has
at Last sent to the Senate a nomination for
| the snccessorship to Mr.. Rollins. The in
| diyidual selected is Mr.. Wisewell, of New
York, who adds to many other recon-
/ mendations that of being in the whisky
| ring about as deep az any man in the
| country. There is reason to fear that he
will be confirmed. His friends say they
are prepared to spend a hundred Thousand
dollars TO get him through the Senate !;
| and such an amount, iudiciously spent in
newspaper puffs and votes in executive SEES
sion, will accomplish wonderful results.
Do not call me slanderous, kind reader
because / intimate that our great men,
when locked up in the secret recesses
Of executive session, are purchasabe
eommodities-tha there be those among
them who are open TO the gentle
persuasions of pecuniary influence. Or, if
it is a SANDER, blame "Benton's Thirty
Years." where it first occurs in regard to
a Senate that existed before there were
whisky rings or internal taxes to corrupt
the Senatorial heart and scar the Senate
rial conscience. Two weeks ago s. S. Cox
was approached by an individual who Of
| fered to guarantee his confirmation as Min
lister to Austria, for and in consideration
of the sum of $4,000, to be paid after the
service was rendered. On a future occa-
sion / intend to ventilate this general sub
ect of the influence of money upon Con-
gress, and shall bring in a few facts and
figures, which none of the time honored
denunciations about irresponsible scrib-
blers" can well gainsay. This was some
time paradox, but now the time gives it
proof 1.-THE American people are willing
to be the dupes and tools of such scoun-
drelism, we'll and good; then they deserve
no better.
If the internal revenue system can only
be conducted by fostering and encouraging
such foul corruption as exists with the
knowledge and consent of men high in alI-
thority, perhaps it may as well go on as it
has been going; but it my opinion it
would be far more honorable to the nation
TO abolish the taxes and repudiate every
dollar Of the public debt, than to continue
such thieving in high and low places, as
has disgraced the country for the last two
years. Newspaper Islander, quoths Gen
tlemen of the Senate, confirm the ring can
didate ifyou dare, and then, like men who
are not afraid of the light of publicity, give
the country the benefit of the yeas and
nays on the subject. 1t viii then be the
duty of an irresponsible newspaper scrib-
Ter" to show how the thing was brought
about-and to show, if possible, how much
of truth there is the assertion that Z" a
hundred thousand dollars will be spent, if
necessary, to get him (WiseWell) through
the Senate"

CURIOUS MILITARY TNvEsTIGA-


From the Savannah News and Herald.
We have information that court Of in.
qniry has been ordered by Maj. Gen. Meade
to investigate an alleged poisoning case in
Savannah, which, reported through any
other medium than the convention, would
have occasioned excitement, but, as we feel
sure, will prove 10 be a vagary of crazy
negro.
Our readers will remember the Aaron
Hurt affair, when a Conservative negro,
not remarkable for intellectual endowments,
was tarred and feathered by some Radical
opponents, of his own color.
Two colored people were arrested, and on
examination were committed TO Jail One,
Charles Blain, was shortly after attacked
with cholera, and died in a few hours. The
other, attacked with cholera, was allowed
to be removed outside, was attended by an
other physician, and also died in Eve days.
1t now appears that on negro petition,
aided by mongrel white influence, Gen.
Meade has been induced to appoint a court
Of inquiry to ascertain if the physicians
attending the deceased negro prisoners
should or should not be tried on a charge
Of poisoning them, while in charge of their
cases.
This investigation can only result to the
credit, generally, of the medical society, if
fairly conducted; and especially of the
physicians concerned but it shows so con-
clusiyely the desperation of the Radical
plans, as to give both hope and warning
surety that events are turning faVorably to
an oppressed people, if they use their own
facilities for protecting themselves and a
caution TO observe the movements of the
enemy.
We hope the military gentlemen will
thoroughly examine this case of homicide,
and publish the evidence in full
