MIR. Seward and the Alabama Claims.

n1r. Seward and the Alabama Claims.
Mr.. Stewards record in the government
through our great war and the years Of diff
Guilty that have followed it will always distin-
guish him in the history Of the period as one of
its great men. His services in position re-
quiring the highest ability and often also the
most delicate tact have contributed largely to-
ward the general good result, and his contem-
poraries can perhaps scarcely estimate how
much that sanguine faith in the national sue
cess that has been conspicuously ridiculed as
one of his shortcomings tended to discourage
our foes and buoy up the common spirit of the
people. Rome once saw the propriety of off,
cially recognizing such service and marked
with honor a man whose only distinction was
that he ''never despaired Of the republic. "
Mr.. Stewards services have been such that his
foibles and failures are lost in the comparison
and will not dim the brilliancy of his history.
His retirement from the Cabinet is doubtless
an event Of immediate possibility, since it is
almost political necessity that there should
be an entire change about the President; but
Mr.. Seward should not retire from public life
He should succeed Mr.. Adams as Minister to
England. By such an appointment her Majesty 9
Ministers will find themselves face to face with
the man who has all through been our peculiar
advocate and champion on the one question
that is open between this country and Eng
land-the Alabama claims. Mr.. Seward has
discussed this question in his dispatches with
several successive English governments let
him now be sent to discuss it face to face with
government that is disposed to settle 1t.
MExIco.-In the HERALD of yesterday we
published a couple of letters from our special
correspondent at Mazatlan, in which he sets
forth with admirable clearness the actual con-
dition of Mexico. The actual condition of
Mexico has been more or less the same any
time these last twenty or thirty years. The
only breaks of any consequence which have
taken place in the monotonous chain Of events
have been the deposition Of presidents or the
execution of emperors. We have lost all hope
Of Mexico. They seem as incapable Of graft
tude as of self-government. This reminds uf
Of the maltreatment of American citizeat
which took place recently at Monterey. What
has Mr.. Seward done in this matter' Congress
ought not to adjourn until some decisive stsT
| Is taken In regard TO It.

inconvenience of travelling TO and from WASH

ought to authorize direct railroad for mall
purposes and the welfare Of the public between
the capital and the metropolis of the country.

Wooley and That Twenty Thousand.


The Honorable Robespierre Butler is keep
ing in durance more or less vile a certain
Mr.. Wooley, because this person will not tell
what was done with some thousands of dollars
that came into his possession. not quite legiti-
mately. As if Butler needed to be told any
thing of that sort As if he did not know all
that can be known under that head and could
not from his own experience supply informa-
tion to others as to what man in such case
does with such money! Somebody has written
history of Butlerin New Orleans. We are
not aware that any one ever read 1t or that it
is known what it contains; but if it is written
as history ought to be we have no doubt that
Butler can find by the most casual reference
to its pages all the possible ways that are
taken by thrifty sharpers in dsposing of
money that they may be called upon to account
for. He can never learn 80 much from
Wooley. 1t appears from what Buffers inves-
tigation has already brought to light that
twenty thousand dollars were collected to buy
the United States Senate. This is rather
small price, especially when we remember that
it required Jake Thompson's promise for
twenty-five thousand to buy the cheapest peace
democrat ever put up for SALE Now it was no
doubt the meanness of the figure that sug
gested to Butler the remarkable fact that the
Senate was not bought-that the money did
not go that way, and thus stimulated his
curiosity to find out where it did go. He has
an unquenchable curiosity in regard to the
whereabouts of money that seems not to have
any particular owner. Hence his present
energy and the incarceration of Wooley. All
that Butler wants to know is, what have they
done with the funds? They have collected it
from certain guls under pretence of helping
the President. II has been traced to Wooley,
and where is il now? Butler sees that there Is
stealing on hand and feels uneasy while he is
not in. Let Wooley take the hint from this.
What Butler wants is the money. Give him
that or only give him hint where it is and let
all the interested parties seem not to see him
for few minutes, and Wooley may 60 free at
| once.

TIE CALLroorr CAsE.-There is a great deal
of mawkish sentiment exhibited about CALI
colts conviction, and great efforts will be made.
we understand, to get his deserved punish
ment remitted or lessened. If some poor
starving wretch were convicted for stealing no
one would feel sympathy for him; but good
looking, well dressed rogue, who had no induce
ment to commit crime beyond his own evil pro-
pensities, must be excused2and forgiven. II 10
time this demoralized public sentiment among
certain classes should be checked and that
justice should be msted out to rich and poor
alike.

OUTRAGEs IN LOUISIANA. - General
Hatch, the Assistant Commissioner OF
the Freedmen's Bureau for Louisiana,
has forwarded special report to the
war office showing that during the year
ending October lst, 1868, there were
officially reported TO him one hundred
and sixty-six persons as killed, and two
hundred and twenty-five assaulted and
otherwise maltreated in the state. This
horrible list is made out in detail, giving
the names and residences of the persons
murdered or assaulted, as well as Of the

PERsoSAL.-The Montpelier journal
has heard it intimated that Prof. Buck
ham OF the University of Vermont NAV
be called to the Congregational church
in Rutland, TO succeed DIR. Seaver, and
thus warmly praises him:
Judging from II six months enjoyment
of the pulpit labors OF Mr.. Buekham
during the last season, we unhestatincly
pronounce that church exceedingly for
tunate which shall secure him as pastor
lilo matter whom he succeeds His
dscourses are laden with the richest
thought, and his style of delivery is pc
culiar,v graceful and attractive; and his
high culture and genial manners equally
tit him for the other departments of pas
toral labor He certainly took strong
hold of our people during his service here.

"CRACK" THEM AGAIN.-The Free
Press thus speaks of a concert lately had
at Burlington: The "crack" piece at
the concert on the 2Sth, was "Home
Sweet Home" by Camilla Urso, with
peanut obligsto, by the boys. We hope
the music tasted good to them. 1t could
mt be said that they didn't care snap
about the music, for it was a steady snap
in their corner. The effect was pea
culiar. The rest of the, audience, how
ever, would have shelled out freely to be
saved such noisy Smelling out of
''meats," which was felt TO be more than
was mete, by most of the hearers. We
shouldn't "split on the boys, if they had
timed and placed their splitting better.
The gist of the matter lies in a nutshell
youths who cannot leave their nuts at
home, on such occasions, should be left
at home themselves.

ever they could be ascertained and also
noting the action of the civil authorities.
1t appears that three-fourths of the num-
Der killed or outraged were blacks, and
that their assailants were, in most cases,
whites. In large proportion of the
cases, the civil authorities took no action
whatever, and in many more they took
none until the guilty parties had been ar
rested by the military. General Hatch
says that the list does not include the
names of the persons abused or slaught-
cred in the riots at Brashear, Opelousas
New Orleans, and other points, and he
is certain that in the country many mo re
murders were committed of which he
never received official notice.

Henry Ward Beecher stated in his
sermon, Sunday, that he did not believe
in the propriety of the church rule, per-
hitting baptism only to children, both Of
whose parents are members of the church.
He said, however, that he should conform
to the regulation, but outside of the
church should not hesitate to administer
the rite to children, one of whose parents
was protesting Christian.
