The Alabama.

The great wrong done to the United
States by the people aud government Of
Great Britain when they permitted rebel
ships 10 be built in English ship yards, to
be manned by British crews and turned loose
upon the seas TO destroy American COM
merce. is now being acknowledged by the
authors OF those outrages. The great
spec ca of Mr.. Shaw Lefever in the House
OF Commons on last Friday night, Which
was considered 50 important that Mr. Field
dispatched it TO The American Press by the
Atlantic Cable, shows that English states
men realize the mistake made by their
Government when it suffered EngI sh ports
to be made the rendezvous of rebel rovers
Of the sea, whose nefarious robbelies were
nothing less Than piracy, thinly disguised
under the gauze of authority from an in
surgent and usurpad government whose
poris were never visited by those cersairs,
which wee launched in English waters,
paid for with English money, supplied with
English crews and cannon and welcomed
in English harbors the world over
Ii England is wise she will hasten to
make good the damages sustained by
American citizens in consequence of the
depredatlons of these essentially English
vessels. II is not likely.thaf we shall go
to war to collect these damages, but Eng
land can not afford 10 let her conduct in
the matter of the Alabama and Shenandoah
stand as a precedent for future action on
our part. Retaliation in kind would
sweep British commerce from the seas.
and such retaliation will surely come If
this great wrong is not righted.-Lndi-
annapolis Journal.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1868-03-12

The Tenure-ofO Office act declares that
the Secretary of War shall hold his office
''for and during the term of the President
by whom he may be appointed, and for
one month thereafter, subject TO renewal
by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate Whose Presidential term is this?
We mean the one extending from the 4th
OF March, 1865, to the 18th of March 1869.
Is it Abraham Linceic's? The people gave
it TO Abraham Lincoln. Booths pistol
simply took Lincoln away from his term,
and left johnson to ill out Lincoln's unex-
pired term. Ii did. not take the term from
Lincoln and give 1t as of the people to
johnson. The assassins act was not the
peoples act. Even had it been, it would
not have been right and lawful This is
JOhuson's term as Vice PRECEDENT, but not
as President. He is the Acting President
Ivy reason OF the Presidents assassination
and his oath to fill out Lincoln unexpired
term. He is only called President through
courtesy, or by way of compliment.
President Lincoln appointed Stanton Sec
rotary of War by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate. Johnson admits
this in his plea to the Senate. But be calls
this his own Presidential term II so, who
elected him? Then he says he himself
never appointed Stanton. He says: Il
have tolerated him for more than two
years" And so have the people tolerated
johnson fer more than two years. He
SAYS Stanton held the Office by ''my own
suffrance." And so has Johnson held the
peoples office and dispensed their patron
age by their own suffrance and long for
bearance. at any rate Johnson recogniz-
ed Stanton "a Secretary of War from his
accession to power" This recognition
of him hy the President and all the depart
ncnts of the Government Is as binding and
valid in law as though Stanton had been
appointed by Johnson and confirmed bv
the Senate And is Secretary Stanton's
more than two years administration of the
War Department now to be declared lille
gal, null and void, because Andrew John
son fancies it to be to his interest in his
present dilemma to so decide and adiudge
it? Preposperous. All Andrew Johnson's
sephistries and pretenses fall to the ground
under the touch of legal ANALYSIS AID com
mon sense. Candid lawyers and impartial
jursts will see at glance that the disiin-
guished prisoner at the bar has now a very
bad case in court.-AHiance Monitor.
