If anybody doubted that the entente cordiaJS
between the United States and Great Britain
was as perfect as full blown rose the rels-
tons established between our Minister, Mr..
Reverdy Johnson, and her Majesty's Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, Lord Stanley, would dis
pei the doubt. Ever since Mr.. Johnson's arri-
val in England they have been in the most
happy accord, hobnobbing upon all occasions,
and assuring each other, with many grasps Of
the hand and blinking of glasses, that the
Anglo-Saxons on both sides OF the Atlantic
were sworn brothers, Alabama claims and an
that be-blessed, in the mutual hilarity. They
are going to be entertained now, it appears,
of Liverpool; so we may expect to hear Of
some highly seductive speeches being deliv-
cred on both sides. We shall be treated to good
deal more fummery from Minister johnson,
and good deal of quiet satire and interna-
tional bosh from Lord Stanley, delivered, q
course, in the most suave and conciliatory
terms He will take care to rub down the
feathers of the American Eagle, 80 as not to
ruf1e either his coat or his temper. Mr.. john
son, who has already given evidence that ho
knows well how to reciprocate on occasions
like these, will undoubtedly manipulate the
British Lion in soothing and tender fashion.
not risking the chance of disturbing single
hair from name to tail. The Liverpool enter
tainment will, therefore, be mild and lovely.
Mutual admiration will, of course, be the order
of the post-prandial eloquence. In the mean
time, what becomes of the claims of our
merchants who were terrible sufferers by the
raids of the Alabama and other pirate vesselsf
Every dollar clipped from their fortunes by
this means is due them by the British govern
ment, and neither Minister Johnson nor Lord
Stanley can wash down the responsibility in .
